SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. REPORT OF

SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Ellsworth: — We submit herewith the report of the superintendent of schools, which

reviews very thoroughly the work ot the past year in this department. Further report from the school board seems eupeifluous, but we do wish to emphasise some matters touched upon by the suptrintf :.c< nt.

The need of a larger appropriation for text boohs than was granted last year 's apparent. Only those having to do directly with the schools realize the disgraceful oonditiou existing in regard to text boots . Under the pres­ent law, by which the city supplies text books, owing to inadequate funds it is necessary to pass down from class to class books t t a t have long oat-lived their usefulness. Defaced, torn and unclean, these books become ready purve\ ors of disease, and the health of children is jeopardized on the plea of economy. Kew parents avail themselves of the law under which they may buy hooks from the city, at cost, for theirchildreru It may not be possible to realize that ideal condition when each child entering a class can receive from tne city a brand new book which becomes its propert j , 10 be preserved in after years, but we can approach nearer to it than at piet--ent bv sooner discarding boobs that have become worn and soiled. It is too much to expect a child to take as much care of a book that has already nassed through several hands at it would one of its own,and habits of clean­liness and care of books are not promoted by the use of books in the condi­tion of man" tbey are now compelled to use.

We also cal- attention to the remarks of the supetintendf nl in regard to concentration of schools. The obstacles in the way of this were clearly

hown during the past school year, but the necessity for it is none the less apparent, and the modern trend is.all that way.

" We have kept within the appropriations in the several funds in our and believe we are reasonable in our requests for appropriations for

coming year, i. e.: Common schools, $1,500; high school, 82,300; s u p ­p l e s S75U; scboolhouse, $400.

'. H oi*ra O. Hopkins, who was elected superintendent in the spring, orksd faithfully and conscientiously for the improvement of the

is and has gained an intelligent grasp of the school situation in Ells-We commend her report to the careful reading of your board and

*\ „ neople of Ellsworth generally. c u e v Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS,

Gentlemen of the School Committee of the City of Ellsworth: In accordance with tbe usual custom I bfg leave to submit tbe report

of the superintendent of schools for tbe j ear ending February 18, 1911, I am very glad to report there is a balance on tbe rigbt s ide of all four

funds that are at the disposal of this office, COMMON SCHOOLS,

T E A C H E R S . Tbe staff of teachers is practically tbe same as last y e a r . A few changes were necessary beraufe one school , No, 1, was discontinued and three teachers resigned their posit ions.

In th« spring of 1910 there was » vacancy at No, 11. Wi»s Amy Astbury, of Bluehil), was e lected to fill that posi t ion.

At tbe close of tbe spring term, you received tbe res ignation of Miss Annie Stockbridge w h o for several years had taught tbe primary scbool t

No. 16, and elected Miss Georgia Jude to fill that vacancy. On account of tbe decreasing number of pupils at NOB. 1, 7 and 19, in

some instances tbe average maintained was be lew trat required by tbe State la*v, these schools were discont inued. Tbe scholars from No. 1 are transported to No. 2 and that school is in charge of Martin A.Gar land . Mies Hazel McGown wa i transferred to No. 8. In August the school board and the c i ty g o v e r n m e n t received pet i t ions from tbe residents of No. 7V

asking that that school migbt be r e . o p e i e d . Tbe board, after thoughtful consideration recommended tbe tcbet 1 should he ope i ed. and subsequently the c i ty government vo ted to do so. Miss Evelyn DeWit te was e lected teacher. Much tbe same thing occurred in No. 19. A delegat ion of parents so strenuously pleaded their cause, tbeir pet i t ion was granted, and Miss Lyda True was e lec ted teacher.

Miss Curtis res igned her posit ion as teacher oi No. 9, and Miss Alice McGown wab cbosen to fill that place.

Miss Mary Davis taught tbe ep i log and fall t e i m s of No. 6, then re­s igned, and Miss Nina Franklin wan elected to fill that vacancy . All these new teachers manifest a been interest in tbeir work and an earnest des ire to ach ieve sucoess .

T E X T BOOKS A N D S U P P L I E S . The most rigid economy has been neces ­sary in e x p e n d i n g the utterly inset quate amount of money appropriated for t e x t booksand supplies and our schools must needs sutler from such quest ionable thrift.

The appropriation had been reduced from $600 to 8400, and from thia small sum, a few bills of tbe precedirg year had to be paid, and the re­quirement of tbe State law demanded many new books for tbe high scbook

53 BO that only most necessary supplies could be purchased for the common sobools . No comple te set of boons has been bought, s imply supplement ing a few new o n e s in each study, when the old ones became absolutely worth, l e s t .

The spel lers , grammars and Barnes 'h i s tor ies Bre in such ade lapidated oondi t ion as to be unsightly and unserviceable and must be replaced by new books tbe ooming year. Wn also need new supplementary readers espec­ially in the lower j rades. Several schools have no maps or g lobes , wbile o thers are us ing maps worn and ant iquated. The geography ot the world* especia l ly of the U. S., has rapidly changed during the past few year?, and new up-to-date maps would st imulate both teaober and pupil to more sa t . isfaetory work.

During the year I have sold some old books and purchased a fine new •at of maps, on spring rollers, tor school No. 5, also three dictionaries for rural schools not before supplied. I was also fortunate enough to secure some large maps of the United S ta tes that were g iven away at Augu.-tn,

Inquiry shows that $1.00 for each soholar is considered a fair appropria­t ion tor t ex t books, when the schools are already well equipped, so the sum of *4CU for text books and supplies with the sobools meagrely equipped, cannot prove sufficient. Our teachers feel bandioapped and loDg for mod­e m , up-to-date suppl ies to work with . I would reoommend the appropria­t ion for the ooming year be $750.

UOURSE O F S T U D Y . During the spring term the teaoben* of the 6th, 7tb> 8th and 9tb grades expressed dissatisfaction with the manner the work in arithmetic and grammar was arranged, consequently I called a teachers' meeting before the fall term opened, and a change was made in the division of toe text books, which you will find appended to this report and we trust the results will prove satisfactory.

IMPROVEMENT L E A G U E S . There has been a great revival of interest in tbe School Improvement League. The grammar school at the Falls has purchased a handsome table. Miss Bonsey'e school is ihe prcud owner of a fine Dew organ. No . 2 is g e t t i n g much pleasure from the subscription to the "Youth's Companion ," several others have added to their libraries and pictured, while No. H, Beechland, enjoys the inestimable privi lege of hear­ing Miss Stanwood tell the fascinating story of the birds, their habits and great usefulness to the farmer.

EVE AND E A K TESTS. In oomplianoe with the State law, tbe superin­tendent assisted by the teachers , has teeted the e j e s and ears of all the pu nih of town and rural schools . Tbe results are filed in the fUpeiintericUiii'a office, and in every ease where the s ight fell below » certain standard the parent or guardian bas been notified,

REPAIRS. Minor repairs have been made on the Fine s treet , Water street. Infant s t ree t and the lugh school buildings. There have been made n ew steps, platforms and gutters for School s treet . No. 5 has had new [jjaoB-boards and other necessary work. Tbe most ex tens ive repairs have

54 baen at No. 8 and No. 11 where new [doors, window sashes and partial shingling were imperative.

In compliance with the law passed by the last, legislature, iron fire es­capes bave been placed on the School s treet and Pine street schoolbouses. Tbe school at the Falls has two stairways so that an outside fire escape was not necessary. The doors of all school buildings bave been cbaDged to swing outward.

The insurance that became due this year was less than usual, so tbe schoolbouse fund shows a substantial balance, but I would suggest th«i same appropriation as last year, as only tbe most urgent repairs have been at­tended to, and if some of the schools are not discontinued much more work must be done.

Tbe year has been a busy and I believe a profitable one. Tbe work has been continuous, scarcely a storm signal sounded or holiday granted, and no serious sickness, except one case of dipbtbeiia in No. 2. The school was closed, tbe books used by the sick pupil destroyed and building tborougbiy fumigated.

Efficiency and economy seem to be tbe watch words of the present day, but tbe problem of combining efficiency with economy is not one of easy so­lution. A tamous lecturer recently said " tha t the future of the moral and spiritual world lies in tbe bands of tbe teachers; that they represent the most important advance guard of civilization." The excellent teachers of our city schools have this past year, as ior many years, rendered splendid service and our scholars have reaped the benefit of having experienced in­structors.

State Superintendent Payson Smith emphasises tbe /act that Maire is paying lower salaries than most of tbe States, and we regretfully acknow­ledge the compensation ol our fine teachers talis )ai below that paid by towns much smaller than Ellsworth. Realizing financial condjlicrs do not warrant the city making much larger appropriations, and that we need an increase rather than decrease in tbe school year, to fit tor tbe higb school, the. onlv solution that suggests itself is concentration.

Uould we consolidate several of the smaller schools,it might be possible to save money enough to pay our expert teachers a salary more in propor­tion to their worth, and at the same time give the scholars as great or even greater advantages as under the present regime. Whatever course is pur­sued, the rights of every child to attend school must be held sacred.

This consolidation of schools involves the vexing quesiton of transpor­tation, but on the other band, it would obviate one almost as vexing, that of scholars attending school out of tbeir own distiict. There is a marked tendency on the part <>t students to get into tbe tcbooJs in the center of the town, thus inflicting injustice upon a few teachers,

1 suggest that No. 19 be permanently discontinued. There are only (12; pupils, and tbe distance to the near schoolbouses is not greater than many scholars walk in their borne districts. Schools NOP. 7, 8 and 9 could profit-

55 *u'y be consolidated aa there are less than tbenty pupils in the t ime s«hoolg.

*he decrease in number in No. 14, Beeohland, is marked, partly because y Persist in coming up town to attend school. Tbe remaining scholars,

•s well as those of Water street, could be accommodated at the Pine street school, by adding on« assistant to the present corps of teachers.

There is always a wail of discontent when any school is discontinued, but there are other advantages in combining the schools than the financial <>ne. At present ws find many instances with only one pupil, possibly two, 'n a olass. Exparience proves the students have livlier interest and keener ambition when stimulated by the natutal competition of being in a large clasa of their own grade, and receive great benefit,from listening to the recitation.

1 would like to urge that music be introduced into our schools. A re­cent writer says: "It is a wise step when au elementary course of vocal music is added to the course of study. It will save the teacher much loss of energy in controling the school, and will give tbe children something of permanent value. The ability to sing the best of the patriotic and national songs, and many of the familiar folk and plantation songs should be the heritage of tbe young people when tbey go out from tbe schools."

It would be a real uplift if the parents would ofteiier visit the schools and keep in touch with tbe p<ogress made in the daily studies.

I recommend the appropriation for the common school fund be $1,500, for the coming year, providing we receive tbe same amount from the State aa tbe past year. While the total expenditures for the year just closing only amount to $7,763,08, it is a most unusual thing for them not to excee d $8,000.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The spring term opened with four teachers, Mr. Ward, principal; Mr. Ellsworth, Miss Foster and Miss Emery, assistants. Three weeks beiore graduation Miss Foster resigned and the remaining three teachers volun­teered to assume her classes and successfully completed the prescribed work for the term. I gratefuhy recognize their generosity in taking upon themselves this extra work.

You were fortunat» in being able to retain Mr. Ward as principal, and Mr. Ellsworth as first assistant. MJBS Emery having accepted a more lucra­tive position, you secured the services of Miss Mabelle Brown, of Fairfield, Me., who came very highly recommended.

After carefully considering the subject, you decided to employ only three teachers, increasing tbe salary of the two assistants. This meant constant, hard work for them, but the plan seem* to be working satisfac­torily. There has been steady progress in many ways. With the present excellent sMff of teachers, a student with only modest ability or ambition jjafl admirable advantages and opportunity fox advancement.

56 Trie school has been restored to admission by certificate to the New

England colleges. There have been slight changes In the course of study with the approval of State Supt. Payson Smith. The recitation rooms have received the much needed chairs. The laboratory equipment, tbongb meagre, has been sufficiently increased to meet the minimum requirementa of the State law.

In Ootober the sobool was visited by the State Inspeoter of High schools, Mr. Taylor, wbo expressed regret at the building and incomplete laboratory, also expressed satisfaction with the results accomplished and with the competent teachers.

Oar high sobool must lead both college ward and life ward. Tbe boy or girl for whom the college door never inwards swings, must be provided for as well as the pupil wbo may be able to continue bis edueation. Jt is stated only 10 per oent. of tbe scholars wbo graduate from tbe high school ever enter college, and vocational training seems to be tbe band writing on tbe wall. There is a strong sentiment in this community in favor of introduc­ing stenography, type-writing and other practical studies into the curricu-,-.. i. This would necessitate another teacher and considerable expense for equipment, but we have suitable recitation room to spare and tbe advo­cates of this course urge that it would appeal to tbe smaller surrounding town» and tbe tuition paid would at least equal the ex t ra expense involved. To my mind it would be a judicious measure.

I reoommend the same appropriation as last year. I am glnd of this opportunity tojtbank you, gentlemen of tbe school

board, for your unvarying kindness, oourtesy and cordial support through­out the year. Tbe work bas been a pleasure, even though each succeeding year seems to make greater demands upon the superintendent 's time, and the interest deepens as the possibilities ©f school work unfold.
