14 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

Hall, Spring. High School: J. H Doyle, fall J. H. Doyle, winter. 1 do not deem it necessary Co make any extended comment on che work of the teaohers the past year, but will simply say that their work has invariably been of a high order. I say without hesitating Chat I know of no teacher in the schools of our town, this past year, who has not been actuated by a desire to make his or her school a success. The increased interest of the scholars was an evidence of the teachers earnestness. The high school has been particularly successful. As can be seen by the calendar above, Mr. Hall was principal the spring term. He is a well educated, refined gentleman, but unfortunately he lacks the qualifications of a disciplinarian. This deficiency was plainly evident in his conduction of the school from day to day. Mr- Doyle, the present incumbent, possesses all the commendable qualities of bis predecessor and combines with them the ability to govern. The attendance has been remarkable, in fact it can be said that the High School under its present bead is a success in every way, ENROLLMENT. The number of persons of school age, 5 to 21 years, in Sullivan, according to the school census taken a year ago, is three hundred twenty-five, a slight decrease from the year preceding, owing to seyeral large families moving out of town. The total enrollment has been two hundred two, with an average attendance of one hundred fifty-one. NEW COURSE OF STUDY. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the present year lias been the introduction of an entirely new course of study. It, has been tested thoroughly the past year, and the result of that test lias been very satisfactory. Your superintendent, in conjunction with the school committee, endeavored to outline a Course that would be suitable for the modern tural schools.

16 15 Many features that would be commendable for schools with better facilities, presented themselves to us, but their introduction into our schools at the present time is inadvisable. W e have endeavored to work out an orderly, logical development of each subject from the first to the ninth grade inclusive. In the course of time when the schools of the town are graded to a better advantage, the introduction of this ontline of study will bring about two important things: First, the establishment of uniformity iu grades of equal rank; second, the creation of a higher standard of accomplishment. REPAIRS, Several of the sehool buildings have undergone changes the past year. At West Sullivan the schoolhouse has been given a much needed painting. Owing to the extremely high prices of materials, this was a yery expensive job, considerably more than we had figured. At East Sullivan the Bridgham Hill schoolhouse has been thoroughly remodeled and although it was a matter of considerable expense to the town, the congested condition of the school before remodeling, in our opinion, called for a change of some kind. The school has recently been graded and we are justified in looking for a higher standard of work both from teachers and scholars. All the other schoolhouses have had more or less expended on them and several things in the line of repairs were left undone, that should have been done. I would suggest that S150. be raised for repairs. TEXT BOOKS. The text books at the present time are in very good condition. They were in such s. pitiable condition during the year, however, that I found it absolutely necessary to make many changes. The readers, geographies and arithmetics were in such condition that in many cases they were indecent for scholars to handle. It is extremely unfortunate that our laws for the prohibition of mutilation of books are so non-enforceable. Were they capable of being satisfactorily enforced, the present useless expenditure of many dollars for text books would be considerably obviated. To many, such a general cleauing up as I have inaugurated, may possibly seem extravagant. But only those changes that I deemed absolutely necessary 10 make have been made. School books should neger be allowed to reach an unhygienic, mutilated condition. Even though the expense may

17 i6 be large to replace or replenish them, it is advisable in all oases to do so- At present, therefore, the books are in very good condition. It is necessary that a liberal sum be raised by the town for text books for the ensuing year, to meet bills for books that have not yet been presented, also to be prepared for what other ohanges it may be advisable to make. FINANCE. The fiscal year closes with a balanoe on hand in both the high and common school accounts. The text book account and repair account have, however, been overdrawn as.explained above.
