Report of The Superintendent of Schools

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

Please accept m y third annual report on your schools. During the present school year we have had the same teacher as last year. This is certainly very much better than being obliged to hire a new teacher each year. Too frequent changes are not good for the pupils, as it takes time for a new teacher to become acquainted with the pupils and with the community. Mr. Grilley came to us in the fall of 1944, with no ex­perience but has learned readily to instruct the chil­dren. From the first he has been firm in insisting on order and obedience. Without these the most learned teacher must fail to achieve the best results.

While our school has been larger than it was last year, it has been small enough to permit much indi­vidual instruction. Thus each pupil is enabled to re­ceive the teacher’s attention and assistance. Books

0 1

and supplies are still hard to get and anything ap­proaching promptness in delivery would be a surprise. Fuel is likewise scarce but the janitor, Mr. Davis, has been watchful and efficient.

I was gratified to learn that my suggestion in last year’s report regarding a Christmas tree apparently bore fruit. It may be that this had been in the minds of others, and that the entertainment would have been held without my suggestion. At any rate a fine enter­tainment was held and from all reports, the small

■ group of pupils in the school can hold their own in this line as I believed they could.

My one disappointment in regard to the Monhegan School is that I am unable to visit it oftener. Believe me, it is no mistake to maintain the school on the

23i

Island, where the children are under the care of their parents. To close it, because it is expensive to main­tain, would be against the interests of the children and those of the community.

I thank the School Committee and Assessors for[

their splendid cooperation. I wish also to thank the citizens of Monhegan for their kindness on all occa­sions and for their loyal support of the school.

Respectfully submitted,F. L. S. MORSE,

State Agent for Monhegan School.
