45 Report of School Board of Palmyra, At the Ju ly meeting of the School Board it was voted to transport the Goodwin school to the Adams, the Carr to the Village and the South Union to the Ell. In so doing we were able to save $8.75 a week over the cost of the spring term, or a total of $175. And we fully believe that better results have been accomplished than had we maintained those schools. Painting has been done as follows: shed, Marsh and shed. for the Marsh and Gale houses. Adams, Ell and New doors have been purchased The money raised for the Gale shed is still in the treasury and is still available for that purpose. One side of the Madawaska house needs shingling and new windows should be provided. We believe that several of the houses that stand in exposed places should be provided with banking boards. F o r the coming year we recommend the following appropriations: For common schools... $1, For high school tu itio n For school supplies For repairs we recommend $175.00, divided as follow s: Adams, foundation... $35 00 Village, grading Madawaska, shingling and windows 35 00

46 43 Painting two houses... Banking boards... Grading, Egypt and Marsh General repairs $ Yours respectfully, 1). A. S T A C K P O L E, F. H. F A R N U M, E. T. M cc A BE, School Board. Superintendent s Report Gentlemen of the School B oard: It is with pleasure that I present you with my second annual report. This year as last I have endeavored to continue the work as outlined, thus avoiding the confusion that follows revolutions. T o have a good school we must have three conditions, namely, a good teacher, pupils willing to attend school and obey the rules and do their work, and parents wishing to share their part of the responsibility. It is true that we have made one or two mistakes in the selection of our teachers but have tried to remedy the error at the first opportunity. I feel that some of the parents ought to take a greater interest in the welfare of their children and assist in keeping them in school. The schools are for the children s benefit and whenever they are kept out that much is lost to them as well as hindering their classmates. The lost work must be made up and a class with the pupils in different places retards the progress of the whole class. T E A C H E R S Fifteen different teachers have been employed during the year. O f this number three were beginners. All had

44 at last a high school education. The time is rapidly drawing near when a teacher must have a normal school education. I recommend every teacher to take a normal course.

But for the winter term as few changes were made as possible.

I have in several instances allowed pupils to take algebra provided their arithmetic work would warrant such a step. The course of study as it now stands is adopted by the School Board.

47 44 at last a high school education. The time is rapidly drawing near when a teacher must have a normal school education. I recommend every teacher to take a normal course. Six teachers have had special training for their work, and four hold State certificates. Owing to the closing of several schools only one teacher has been continued in the same school for the year. But for the winter term as few changes were made as possible. C O U R SE O F S T U D Y The course of study for the year has not been changed from last year except the dropping of algebra which has no place in the common school. I have in several instances allowed pupils to take algebra provided their arithmetic work would warrant such a step. The course of study as it now stands is adopted by the School Board. I have had a set of rules and regulations and the course of study printed and a copy will be given to each family at the opening of the spring term. However I would not make the course arbitrary but allow enough flexibility to meet the conditions of each individual school. T E X T BO O KS No changes have been made in the basic texts. Some of our books are beginning to show considerable wear. The same system of reading is being used as last year. I do not recommend any changes but would add to the list of supplementary reading as this is a valuable asset. If the right books are introduced a taste for literature is created. Again such books are valuable as the work may be correlated with geography and history. Not only does the pupil learn more facts but a keen interest is awakened which is invaluable. 1 think one hundred dollars will buy the necessary books for the coming year.

The presence of the father or mother in the school proves to the pupil that there is a healthy home interest in the school and the pupil. It is an incentive to the pupil to do the best he can.

48 IN G E N E R A L The home and the school must co-operate if the best results are to be secured. Now there are just a few things needed. I would like to have more parents visit the schools during the regular work of the term rather than wait until the last day. The presence of the father or mother in the school proves to the pupil that there is a healthy home interest in the school and the pupil. It is an incentive to the pupil to do the best he can. The parent should encourage the pupil to be regular and punctual in attendance. This is a great moral lesson and should be learned early in life. There should be a certain part of the day or evening set apart for home study for the higher grades. This should be regular and the pupil understand that the time is his for study and his mind free from all other cares. I wish to thank you all for the many kindly suggestions. IN D E T A IL G ale This school has been under the direction of M r Farnum for the year. Altho the school has been broken much of the fall and winter terms by sickness, good work has been accomplished. Mr. Farnum has demonstrated that he is the right teacher for this school. E gypt Three teachers have had charge of this school. Excellent results have been secured in spite of the foregoing fact. Miss Waugh during the fall term met with exceptionally good success for a beginner. M a r sh T his school also has been under the instruction o f three teachers. M iss Hom stead in the spring term met with good success but we were not able to secure her for the fall term., The fall term was taught by Miss Brown. This was her first term. The school was a failure. I feel that I am somewhat to blahie for accepting for this school, as I supposed we were getting an experienced teacher until

Miss Brown arrived. Miss Brown had good training and no doubt would have had good success in a smaller and easier school. The winter term was taught by Mrs. Mebane, a teacher of large experience.

We would liked to have kept him during the year but were unable to as he entered college this fall. The fall and winter terms were taught by Miss Hilton.

49 Miss Brown arrived. Miss Brown had good training and no doubt would have had good success in a smaller and easier school. The winter term was taught by Mrs. Mebane, a teacher of large experience. My only comment is that the term was all that could be asked for. A d a m s The spring term was taught by Mr. Tracy and good work was the result of his efforts. We would liked to have kept him during the year but were unable to as he entered college this fall. The fall and winter terms were taught by Miss Hilton. The school was larger than in the spring term, as the Goodwin was transported here. Miss Hilton had excellent results both in discipline anti the quality of work in the texts. G o o d w in Mrs. Bagley, a teacher of twenty-seven terms experience, taught the spring term. Mrs. Bagley did good work and her discipline was very good. Had this school not been transported I should have recommended keeping her here for the year, as this has always been considered a hard school to manage. C a r r This school was maintained only one term, the spring, and transported to the village the remainder of the year. Miss Sanford taught her first term here and met with fair success. The school was small and the pupils not given to hard study, and it could not be expected that as much ground would be covered as in some of the other schools. M a d a w a s k a This school is much larger than it was last year and more difficult to manage. During the spring term the required amount of work was done in a fairly good manner, but the discipline was not of the best. I am inclined to believe that Mrs. Weeks wanted to be too good to her school at the first. This school requires a firm hand from the beginning. The fall and winter terms were taught by Miss Sanford. In the fall term she made an improvement but was

not strict enough. But in the winter term M iss Sanford certainly did well. She has proven that she is o f the right quality. So.

N o school can do as good w ork with a few pupils as with twelve or fifteen pupils. T w o pupils from this school took the ninth grade test and both passed.

But in the fall term the school was closed several times on account o f sickness and consequently it could not meet with the same marked success that attended it in the previous term.

50 not strict enough. But in the winter term M iss Sanford certainly did well. She has proven that she is o f the right quality. So. U n i o n This was another one o f the small schools and was transported fo r the last tw o terms. M iss M c Cabe did as well as could be expected. N o school can do as good w ork with a few pupils as with twelve or fifteen pupils. T w o pupils from this school took the ninth grade test and both passed. E l l E xcellent results were accom plished in this school in the spring term. But in the fall term the school was closed several times on account o f sickness and consequently it could not meet with the same marked success that attended it in the previous term. Only six and threefourths weeks were kept out o f a possible twelve. The winter term is now in session and in the fou r visits that I have made I feel that good w ork will be done and the school will cover the required amount o f w ork prescribed by the course o f study. M iss Buker is a young teacher but 1 feel sure that she will make g ood." V i l l a g e A n assistant was engaged for the spring term but on account o f sickness was not able to take up the work. A s we got along thru the spring term without an assistant and as there were less grades in the fall and winter terms, we decided not to go to the expense o f providing one and I feel that the results have been such that this stand was a wise one. T his school lias been broken by sickness and other causes but nearly all the pupils will do the required amount o f work. There are some children in this school who need m ore support from home in regard to their regular attendance. M uch improvem ent in discipline has been made during the winter term. IN C O N C LU SIO N I have made my report as brief as possible and at the same time I hope 1 have covered the year's work fully. It will be seen from the above that on the whole our schools have been highly successful. It is not to be ex

Only two other terms have not been up to the required standard I feel that this year has been much more

51 48 pected that every school can be made of the same degree of fineness. It will be seen that there has been only one failure and iliat is, in a measure, my fault. Only two other terms have not been up to the required standard I feel that this year has been much more profitable than last. In all sixteen pupils have taken the ninth grade test and twelve of them have passed. Thanking you all again, I remain, Yours truly, R L. R O W E L L, Supt.
