Report of Supt of Schools And the Superintending School Committee

The following report is respectfully submitted to the citizens of the Town of Caribou.

T h e p ' j i r e ninny quest ions of grave import­ance l<> he considered in relation to our schools a lew of which I wish to speak ahont at th is t ime We have in this town 1«1«.) pupils according to the school census. They arc scat­tered over a large ter r i tory , and while we have twenty- three schoolhouses in the rural districts there still remain eight localities where it is a lmos t impossible for the pupils to attend school in the winter unless they are conveyed. This necessitates the expenditure of a considerable sum of money ami I will say tha t the amount expended for this purpose is steadily increasing. For th is STate of affairs there is no remedy BO far as I can see for in a lmost every case there arc n o t enough pupils t o war ran t the establishing of a school for their benefit. The number of pupils a t t e n d i n g the rural schools, with three excep­t ions , is no t large. varying from twelve to thirty. Xos o, 11 and 1." have each an enrollment of ab.out fifty Your Supt has visited these schools twice each term and has found the work being flone is very sat isfactory indeed.

The work in the village grades has been ex­cellent t h r o u g h o u t the year, notwithstanding the fact t h a t the teachers have in a number of ins tances had a much too large number of pupils under their care. In three of the grades there has been an a t t endance of about 70 pupils each. Fnder these difficulties they have worked earn-estlv and conscientiously and have shown good resul ts . F o r a more extended report of the con­dit ion of the village schools I will refer you to an ar t icle a t the close of this report submitted Bj the super in tending school committee, we nave as is t he usua l cus tom employed teachers wno a r e residents of our own town and have en-

Page 52: Annual Report of Municipal Officers Town of Caribou

TOWN O F C.uuuor f)l

deavored to retain the same teacher in a dis t r ic t throughout the year. The results we think have shown the wisdom of this course

HIOH SCHOOL

The Caribou High school is do ing a good work find merits the hea r ty s u p p o r t of the citi­zens of this town in the future as in the pas t . The number of pupils is cons t an t ly increasing both from our own town and from su r round ing towns. The a m o u n t of tu i t ion for the year does not appear in the repor t t o be more t han for las t year, but I have received too la te for th is repor t and therein still due enough to make the to t a l very nearly live hundred dol lars . We have em­ployed an addi t ional a s s i s t an t in the High school for a pa r t of the fall te rm for one half of each dav and in the winter term for the whole time. This in our judgment has been money well expended.

EXPEXDITLUL OF SCHOOL MONEY

As there is an itemized account of the expen­diture of the school money in the repor t of the selectmen of this town and we have compared our account with theirs and find it the same we refer you to tha t , and will t ake up the subject simply in a general way

T E X T BOOKS

We have expended the money avai lable for the purchase of text books in supplying the gen­eral needs of the schools with the books a l ready in use with the exception of geographies . We have introduced a new geog raphy in the village schools and have taken the best of the old ones to supply what were needed in t he o ther schools with the expectat ion t h a t the in t roduc t ion would be completed dur ing the coming year . This could be done more cheaply in this way t h a n it could to introduce them t h r o u g h o u t the whole town a t once.

JANITORS

We have employed j a n i t o r s a s heretofore and have expended a b o u t the same a m o u n t for th is purpose as usual .

Page 53: Annual Report of Municipal Officers Town of Caribou

AXNCAL K K I ' O K T OF

The expendi ture for fuel has been greater t h a n formerly for var ious reasons. We have heated the new Pr imary building under the new system for a full year , in which there have been two new rooms finished and four terms of school more t h a n in the preceding year. There is also a less a m o u n t due on fuel now than there was a year a g o as the hills have been presented .|n,| paid more closely than last year.

REPAIRS, INSURANCE, APPLIANCES, ETC. AS t he s . ' a ccoun t s are so nearly allied with

the exception of insurance, t h a t it is almost im­possible to tell where one leaves off and the o ther begins, we deemed it best to take them up under one head. I nder both appropriations, Sfl-MM) was avai lable We have renewed the in­surance th is has expired, The schoolhouse in distr ict No. s has been thoroughly repaired, a ha rdwood floor has been pu t down, it has been newly shingled, painted, and new modern seats bough t . We have built a woodshed in district No. 17. The balance of the money has been used for generel repairs , appliances and ap­paratus.

We had a lmos t forgotten to mention one very large item in repair account. We have put new s la te b lackboards in both rooms of the French schoolhouse. bo th rooms of the Main street schoolhouse and in one recitation room of the High school building. Right here we will sav t h a t in our judgment all sehoolhouses should have hardwood floors, slate blackboards and all t h a t p las te r ing should be done away with a s soon as possible. TKACHIXI; ETC. The town a t i ts las t annual meeting raised ft700 more for this purpose than usual. After prac t ic ing due economv. this amount has been expended more t h a n last year. The reasons tor th is have been s t a t ed before in this report, bur we will r e s t a t e them here a s briefly as possible. There have been four addi t ional terms of sclioo, fuel h a s cos t m o r e and there has been a p « » » a m o u n t expended for conveying. At the eio

Page 54: Annual Report of Municipal Officers Town of Caribou

TOWN O F ('AKIHOI

of the last municipal yea r the unexpended bal­ance in fa,\*or of schools had been reduced a b o u t $1000. This year we.fi nd it has been red need again by the same a m o u n t and there remains an unex­pended balance of a b o u t ftlMOO. It will t ake somewhere around $2000 , t o pay tor the te rms of school now dosing; so t h a t there is pract ical ly a deficit in our school account of vi'vy nearly #1:200 a t the present t ime. IT seems to us under the conditions t h a t it is necessary for us to raise more money for the suppor t of schools.

It appears now absolutely necessary.in the in-terest of health and fairness t o our pupils, to supply more room and teachers. Our grades are. as yon all know, crowded beyond a proper limit, and. of course, the individual pupil c anno t receive, under such condi t ions, the a t t en t ion he or she should have. Only a year ago we added two fine large rooms for the lowergrades and to­day we are as hard pressed for room as formerly.

Your Committee has earnest ly studied the sit­uation, taken up divers propos i t ions and anal-ized them, and carefully weighed all the a rgu­ments for and ag'ainst the different solut ions suggested The result is t h a t y o u r Committee wishes to rercommend. as the niosl pe rmanent and satisfactory solut ion, the m o s t economical in the long- run. and the only propos i t ion which will care for the future g rowth for years to come, the erection of a commodious properly equipped high school building in some sui table location, leaving for the use of the in te rmedia te and lower grades the present high school edifice.
