Superintendent's Report
'o the School Board and Citizens of Dover:
Following is a report, brief as possible, duplicated to each own in the District, so far as there is common application. pecific suggestions for each town will be found toward the end.
The Acts of 1915 have an important bearing upon the ques- ons of transportation, qualification and certification f teachers, tate aid for teachers, school attendance. teachers' tenure, super- ision etc. Regarding these it may be well to speak briefly.
Let it be remembered that the purpose of the law is to equal-
22
ize and improve educational advantages to the boys and girls Vermont. Vermont is mainly a farming state, with many farm isolated. While the farmer must seek a market in which to se his crops, he must give even higher consideration to the educ: tion of his boys and girls. If there are not enough children to su cessfully maintain a school in any district, or it be best to tran; port the children to a school, s'istant a mile and a half or mor the law provides assistance from the consolidated school fund. is hardly possible that transportation paid in full or in part I the State is intended to pauperize a town by assuming the town obligations; or that it is intended to furnish a job for some ma and his team; neither should the parents feel themselves entire free from some effort on their part in getting their children school. If the State pays for better rigs, better protection fro the weather, the town should do its part. There is no excuse receiving transportation money from the State while the chi continues to suffer exposure. I, therefore, recommend, in view what the state expects, that full consideration to the transport tion question be given by the School Boards and by the famili and children transported, to the rigs used and to the comforts the children.
If schools are maintained in remote sections not all teache wish to take them, hence, in times past it has been a problem secure teachers for such schools-too often, employment of a me girl, untrained and without experience, and with low wages hi been resorted to in order to maintain a school. Even then it hi been a change of teachers each term, perhaps in mid-term, resul ing in retarded progress. The Acts of 1915 offer not only a mir mum wage of $8 and 34 weeks to the year to the teacher but al: an encouragement to the trained teacher to take the remote ar rural schools, by giving a rebate of $2, $3 or $4, according to h qualifications and training. This rebate, the school of three roon or more does not get. Therefore, the law offers encouragement the competent young woman to become a teacher, and also brin;
23
do rural schools a better grade of teachers and a more permanent enure.
A provision is also made that the teacher be placed under written contract. which both insures the tenure of the teacher, and also the stability of the school administration. It is policy to get a good teacher and keep her. It may cost, but is it not worth t? A cheap teacher is expensive at any price. During the School Year 1915-16, in the eight towns of this District there were but :wo changes of teachers. For the present school year, 18 of the 30 teachers were retained; of the remaining 12, 7 accepted better po- sitions elsewhere, and 3 did not care to return to the same school. From this we see that 60% of the teachers were retained for the present year.
The State has provided a course of study which was placed in the hands of the teachers September 1915. This course furnishes valuable material as well as an outline of school work to be done. and it is desired that the teachers have it upon their desks and ise it daily.
It has been my purpose to attend to conditions bearing upon the physical welfare of the child, such as closets, poorly lighted and ventilated rooms. If children are conveyed long distances, over poor roads, in stormy weather, in crowded vehicles, and sit in untidy, poorly lighted and ventilated rooms, in uncomfortable seats, that do not conform to state regulations, we can not expect adequate return for maintaining such a school. Rickety, ill-smell- irg closets should not be tolerated-much less those that are knife and pencil scarred, alike disastrous to health and morals. Lumber, paint and labor have no value compared to health and morals.
Teachers have been encouraged to use window boards for ven- tilation; these are inexpensive and may be fitted by the pupils under the direction of the teacher, as a part of their manual work.
Too often, the woodshed is left untidy, while a well-worn de-
24
pression by the doorstep affords opportunity for a mud pudo, litter and dampness, when a timely load of gravel would rem‹ it.
A few schools are yet without water coolers, with dippers the only drinking facility; this should not be allowed in a school. Children may provide their own cups, while a closed ci- board may be arranged in which to keep them.
With few exceptions throughout the district the attendance Is been good. For the year ending June 1916, Dover ranked high in per cent. attendance, with 95.5%; Stratton, second, 94.6 Townshend, third, 94.2%. North Street school, Dover, Miss Abl Palmer, teacher, had the highest per cent. attendance of schools, 98.3%; Miss Zella M. Rugg, South Wardsboro, secor 96.2%; West Townshend Primary, Miss Winifred Warner, teach( and Pike's Falls, Stratton, Miss Muriel Wyman, teacher, eac 95.2%. I may say that the attendance which for the most pa was good, yet in some schools the cooperation of teachers, paren attendance officer and the law might all be effectively used. I ca attention to Sections 64 and 65, Acts of 1915, relative to school & tendance.
The law requires that all schools be provided with a suitab flag pole and flag. I recommend that the flag be displayed at a schools while in session except in stormy or severe weather.
From Sept. 1, 1915, to Feb. 1, 1917, the Superintendent he made 593 visits and traveled 5,205 miles in so doing.
Specific suggestions for the town of Dover follow.
Transportation cost the town of Dover 1915-16, $430. TI State has returned $208.67 of this; also $432 on account trained teachers; also $81.61 based on current expense, or a tot: from the State of $732.28. In 1915 the total from the State we $182.45.
There are at present 4 schools maintained in the town of Dc er, with a total enrollment of 45 pupils, as follows: West Dove
25
21, Canaan 6, Goose City 10, North St. 8. North St. and Canaan schools are small and could be combined if a suitable building in East Dover village could be found for the purpose. The attention of the citizens is called to this fact, for it seems possible that both Canaan and North St. will be smaller the coming year.
The average per cent. attendance for all schools, 1915-16 school year, was 94.6. For the past fall term 96.5%.
During the past 4 terms new Readers, Geographies, Histories, Civics, Physiologies and 2 Glcbes have been purchased. Maps are very much needed in all schools. Goose City and West Dover build- ings should be painted.
All schools are at present running satisfactorily, in charge of capable and conscientious teachers.
The Superintendent has made a total of 40 visits the past four terms.
For the cordial spirit and hearty support of both School Board and citizens, I am grateful.
