JAMESON, GEORGE A. SIMPSON, LILLIAN M. HANSON, Members of the School Board. TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD To the Taxpayers and Citizens of Center Harbor : It is gratifying to be able to report another very successful year of school administration, and we would invite your careful perusal of the Superintendent's re- port (following this) which contains full details of com- parison with previous years, from which you will note a marked improvement in attendance, punctuality, and health of scholars, indicating splendid co-operation on the part of teachers, scholars and parents, and in this connection we record with pride to another year without a case of complaint coming from parents con- cerning treatment of, or inattention to their children, a fact that is to the credit of teachers and scholars. Your Board has held nine meetings during the year, receiving monthly reports of supervision from Superin- tendent Buker, and carefully considering all matters pertaining to management and upkeep of the schools. Town House School During the period between Spring and Fall terms, the number of cl^ildren of school age in this District increased from six to fifteen and it was deemed advisa- ble to reopen this school house, although at an addi- tional expense of about four hundred dollars. Our Su- perintendent was fortunate, considering the short no- tice, in securing Miss Eunice Hunt as teacher, who has rendered very satisfactory service. Sale of Old School Houses We are glad to report the satisfactory disposition of 56 TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR the Cram and Hawkins school buildings, from the sale of which we realized $432.75 net. With the view of accomplishing thirty-six full weeks of school attendance, it was deemed wise to extend the Spring termi schedule one week to offset the several public holidays, thus making the present school year really thirty-seven weeks. The Board again desires to express its high apprecia- tion of the splendid spirit of co-operation which is man- ifested by teachers, parents, and citizens, which has enabled us to raise the standard of our schools. Respectfully submitted, C. P. JAMESON, LILLIAN M. HANSON, GEORGE A. SIMPSON, School Board. 57 TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I submit my fourth annual report for your careful consideration. It has been a year of general progress. We have made advancement in several directions. The main objective that the teachers and the superintendent have had has been to raise the level of scholarship second to none in the state. Never have the conditions been more favorable. We have three experienced and well-trained teachers, two of pur buildings are in good repair, a fair amount of equipment, and a high grade of pupils upon which to carry out our objective. Teachers Center Harbor is fortunate to have such a group of teachers. I am convinced that the economical value to Center Harbor in dollars and cents of the services of these three teachers is incalculable. The teachers are: West Center Harber, Elena Smith Village, Dorothy Davis Town House, Eunice Hunt Transportation As there were at the beginning of the school year thirteen pupils in the neighborhood near the Town House Schoolbuilding, it was deemed wise to reopen this school. We have now only one transportation route. Elmer Home transports his son to the Village school. Mr. Home also transports a pupil from Moul- tonboro, each district paying an equal amount. 58 TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR Graduation On June ninth the following pupils graduated from the eighth grade: Katherine Blake, Daniel Fletcher, Myron Goodale, Ruby Swinnerton, Margaret Taylor. The Chairman of the School Board presented the diplomas. All five of these are attending secondary schools. Repairs The village school building has been painted and slate blackboards have been placed in the larger room. The coming year the interior of this building will need at least one coat of paint. At the Town House School building we ought to in- stall two chemical toilets and a jacketed stove. This building should be painted in the near future. The woodshed of this building is very small. It is estima- ted that the above repairs v/iil cost at least $500.00. Health It is gratifying to see a gradual improvement in the health of our pupils. Parents and citizens are realizing more and more the importance of having the children examined and treated to prevent illness. Our own school physician is doing much toward educating pupils to care for their bodies. Our local Red Cross organiza- tion is doing much toward improving the health con- dition of the pupils by promoting the school lunch.
