REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
I herewith present my third annual report :
Five schools have been maintained as heretofore; nine different teachers have been employed. Only two of them have continued in the same school the whole year, two of them two terms and the others one term.
The schools have been supplied as follows :
No. 1. Teacher for the spring term, Abbie Palmer, number of pupils enrolled 9, average 8+. Fall and winter term, Alice L. Johnson, number of pupils enrolled fall term 9, average 8+ ; winter term 9, average 7+.
No. 3. Teacher for the year, Winifred Sherman. Number of pupils enrolled for the spring term 18, average 17++; fall term 17, average 16++; winter term 15, average 14+ -.
No. 4. Teacher for the year, Marion Howe. Number of pupils enrolled for spring term 18, average 16++; fall term 18, average 17+ ; winter term 14, average 13+.
No. 6. Teacher for the spring term, Anna Gunther, Number of pupils enrolled 18, average 16+. Fall term, Blanche Lyons, number of pupils enrolled 18, average 16+. Winter term, Marion Botsford and Catherine McOuatt. Number of pupils enrolled 11, average 10. With so many changes in teachers, continuity of work has been interfered with to an extent.
No. 8. Teacher for the spring term, Eva Upton. Number of pupils enrolled 14, average 13++. Fall and winter term, Catherine McOuatt. Fall term 14, average 11; winter term 12, average 9.
The progress made has, in most of the schools, been better than previous years and to-day our schools are being brought up to modern ideas. A long-needed beginning of
21
the graded system has been made and at the end of the spring term a few important points have been noted, such as : Improved reading, writing, spelling and each pupil is striv- ing to be more accurate in mathematics. The changes . made are hardly discernible but the report of the examina- tions shows a marked improvement.
A change is some books has been made ; we are now using Mace's School History, Emerson and Bender's English Books No. 1 and 2, and one set of Blodgett Readers. An effort to insure that all books receive proper treatment has been made and that pupils make the best possible use of all materials furnished.
The eye, ear, nose and throat tests were given, the results were as follows :
Number of pupils examined, 74; number found defective, 26. Notices of defects are sent to the parents and should be heeded at once.
Examination for high school tuition certificates were conducted June 24-25, August 26-27 as directed by State Superintendent Stone. Eight pupils were present. The four receiving certificates were Forrest Wentworth, Mamie Turner, Carl Howe and Blanche Holland; the two former are at Brattleboro; the two latter at Wilmington. The others took some of the subjects as trial work.
We now have five pupils at Brattleboro, four at Wilming- ton and one at Bellows Falls.
Now again I would like to suggest 30 weeks of school for the year. When teachers and pupils have to do the work in 28 weeks that other towns have 30 or more to prepare the child to enter high school and finish at an age to take up some profession means overwork in the short time they have to do it.
The interest of the parents in school work has been so- licited repeatedly and if they would only visit the schools and acquaint themselves with the work done there would be
22
less cause for criticism, as both teacher and pupil like to have their work appreciated.
The teachers have done their best to apply suggestions · given them for the improvement of the schools. For these evidences of confidence and good will I would here express .·· my sincere gratitude.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE L. JOHNSON.
