21 Superintendent's Report To the Citizens of the Town of North Haven: 9 I, herewith, submit my first annual report on the condition of the schools under my charge. WORK OF THE YEAR During the past year it has been my constant aim to secure greater uniformity, in the course of study and in the methods of teaching, throughout the schools of the town. To accomplish this, frequent teacher s meetings have been held and each new teacher has been carefully instructed before undertaking her work. Special emphasis has been placed upon speed-accuracy in the school room. To accomplish this aim rapid oral drills have come to have a recognized place in every recitation. With the younger children a marked improvement has been made in this respect, especially in number work. There have been two changes in text-books during the year. Nichol s Arithmetics have replaced the White s series and the New Tarr & McMurray Geographies have been introduced. The geographies in use were in a badly delapitated condition and no two of the schools were using the same text.

22 21 PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Committee has exceeded the appropriation for repairs. Much has been left undone which needs immediate attention. I recommend that both the Center and the Thoroughfare schools be painted and that the appropriation be increased to $200 for next year. Our schools are sadly lacking in reference books of all kinds and in sets of books for supplementary reading. I recommend that a special appropriation be made annually to meet this need. Our school year of 30 weeks is altogether too short to accomplish the work required by modern educational i demands. This, together with two long vacations during the year, presents a handicap which can not be overcome by any amount of good teaching. Can any town afford to allow conditions of this kind to continue? «TEACHERS As has been the custom, I have been obliged to select teachers on the recommendation of others. This is a m very unsatisfactory method. A personal interview of only a few minutes is worth more than a thousand letters of recommendation. However, we have been, on the whole, fortunate in the teachers secured during the year. None of them have been mature teachers of long experience but all of them have worked hard and have listened to my criticisms with patience and some profit.

23 22 HIGH SCHOOL The high school has had a successful year under Prin. Byron H. Smith. I have given special attention to the science course and have assisted in fitting up the chemical laboratory. In experimental work, there has been much improvement and the course in chemistry has become much more enjoyable and profitable. There have been a few slight changes in the course of study. Beginning next year, it will not be necessary to take one year in Latin to graduate from the school. SUPERVISION Supervision of schools has become, everywhere, the work of the specialist and should be in the hands of someone, who is giving his whole thought and attention to educational work. A union of this town with other towns, for the purpose of supervision, is a desirable arrangement. Since the cost to the town, under the supervision law of the State would be small there is no reason why we should not give this plan a trial. IN CONCLUSION There is a vital need of a larger and more sympathetic interest in the children and the schools on the part of parents and all other citizens. The children of this town are not getting their just dues in the elementary schools. Training and instruction omitted in the early years of a childs life can never be supplied by later work in preparatory school and college. Respectfully submitted, Leon C. Staples, Supt. of Schools.
