This makes the work more encouraging. SUPERINTENDENT’'S REPORT. Four Nights a Week for Evening Schools and Regular Physician Ad- vocated—Fire Drills Frequent— Change to Palmer Writing Method.

The average membership for Novem- ber was 757, a gain of 10 over Octo- ber, and the average attendance for the month was 713, against 715 for October, The days' absences for No- vember total 701 1-2, against 759 1-2 for October.

F.A.JACOBS, Danielson, Conn. have opinion that trol t heen reported. I am still of the if we are to be in con- of the contagious disease situa- the board must appoint ope or e school physiclans. I am con- iced that the presence of diphtheria in the schools is due not to the schuols but rather to the presence of carriers of infection, just as was found to be the case last spring, If we are ahle, by examination, to single out the car- riers and exclude them, we shall have the situation well in hand. I would, therefore, just as the sub-committes will report earnestly recommend that an appointment of one or more school physiclans be made at once that the work of examination may be com- menced. I would report that the board's in- structions as to fire drills have been carried out and that fire drills are frequent at the Israel Putnam and at the high school. I am submitting for your examina- tion samples of penmanship zathered from high school classes. The need of more attention to penmanship is apparent, I am sure. With this in mind, the matter of penmanship has been taken up with the town teachers and, after careful investigation, of the merits and demerits of different sys- tems, the teachers are agreed with me that a_ standard system should be adopted and I am prepared to recom- mend the adoption of the Palmer sys- tem, not because it is easler, but because it appears to me and to the teachers to be better. This system, by the way, will make more work for the teachers, but all are willing. In closing I can report good work being done In all schools and the best of school spirit still prevalling, HAROLD W.
