REPORT OF THE AGENT FOR SCHOOLS

To the Superintending School Committee and to the Citizens of Monhegan :

Please accept my fifth annual report on your school.This is the fourth year of Mr. Grilley’s work at your

school. The school is more than twice as large as when he assumed his duties and he naturally has learned much about teaching. The progress of the pupils seems good. Even a small school has its disciplinary problems, The school here is no exception. Considering the small number of pupils there is a very wide range of personality variation. In a small school these different individualities stand out in bolder relief. It requires much judgment and patience to guide these to the best development with proper consideration for all.

The school club is a real factor in the life of the school. It is valuable, not only in developing good school citizenship but will certainly help to prepare the members to take their places in the community life of the future.

We are approaching the time when only a professionally trained and duly certificated teacher may be employed. This will probably mean that a lady teacher will be in charge of the school when this is in force, and if the work is to be at all satisfactory, a lady strong and tactful as well as intelligent and well trained will be necessary. It will certainly cost a lot of money to hire such a teacher and it will require much effort to find her. In the immediate past it has been impossible to find a certificated teacher who would consider the position. By law such a teacher must be paid at least $1,500.00 and with the scarcity of teachers everywhere it is probable that much more would have to be offered to get a good

✓

one for Monhegan. However, it is unthinkable that the community would permit its school to be closed for lack of a certificated teacher.

Naturally all expenses in all schools have been at an all-high record and no relief is in sight.

There is a large supply of books at the school but new texts must be procured to meet the needs of the times. A few must be bought each year but as this has been done carefully the expense has been small. Supplies, too, are expensive and have been ordered carefully and as carefully conserved.

The wood from the old wharf was a great help to the fuel and we believe that this and the janitor work has been efficiently managed.

I

The manual work or hand craft has been a help in fostering interest in the school and in employing the time of those pupils who get their work done quickly. Idleness is at all times to be avoided. Not only does it become a bad habit but there is always a temptation to exercise one’s self in ways that disturb others.

Many of the old and out-of-date books have been given to the pupils. These in the homes will serve better than in the attic of the schoolhouse. They are likely to be picked casually and perused. Such reading may be pleasant and not unprofitable.

The school toilets are not especially satisfactory. There is not good chance for drainage and at best these are not too sanitary. It might be worthwhile to install chemical toilets of an inexpensive type. This would be an expense but it would also be an improvement.

Among young people of today there is an independent spirit that resents all restraints and a store of energy that sometimes seeks expression in unsocial activity. In your school there has been the effort to deal with these tactfully and justly.

I urge the cultivation of the children’s talents as shown in the last-day celebration and Christmas enter

30

tainments. I thank the good citizens for their generous gifts and whole hearted cooperation in making these successful. I also thank the School Committee and Plantation officials for their loyal support and cooperation.
