REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Superintending’ School Committee and Citizens of Cranberry Isles: Teachers and Salaries Islesford primary, Geneva Spurling’, $22 per week. Islesford grammar, George Milner, $23 per week. G. C. I. primary, Charlotte Sadler, $21 per week. G. C. I. grammar, James Brown, $23 per week. Janitors Islesford, George Milner, $5 per week. G. C. Isles, Josiali Alley, $7 per week. There have been two changes in the teaching force, caused by resignation, v iz: Geneva Spurling, Isles ford primary, and Charlotte Sadler, G. C. I. primary. Both of these teachers are normal graduates with ex perience . Following is the number of pupils in each grade and also the number in each school: Grade 1 5 boys 2 girls Grade 2 7 boys 5 girls Grade 3 5 boys 4 girls Grade 4 0 boys 3 girls Grade 5 5 boys 3 girls Grade 6 5 boys 2 girls Grade 7 2 boys 1 girl Grade 8 1 boy 3 girls

30 boys 23 girls Islesford, 17 pupils; G. C. Isle, 36 pupils. Total, 53 pupils. This makes the same number at Islesford as 33

last year, while there has been a gain of four pupils at G. C. Isle. Everything necessary has been supplied for the schools and the work is progressing in a very satis factory manner. There are eight pupils receiving higher education in different schools of the State, as follows: Southwest Harbor, 4 Bucksport, 1 Coburn, 1 Ellsworth, 2 I should like to correct the erroneous impression which seems to prevail regarding the duties of the superintending school committee. Some people seem to have the impression that the superintending school committee is merely an “ honorary committee,” or a committee in name only, and that the sole authority is vested in the superintendent of schools. This is not the case at present, nor has it ever been so. The committee, both present and past, has exer cised its full authority as given in the public laws. It has exercised its full authority relative to teachers, janitors and their salaries; it has had complete charge of repair work; it has examined every bill, and no bill has been paid without the approval of the committee. I am making this explanation, not only in justifica tion of the superintending school committee, but also in my own defense, if necessary. The superintendent merely follows the orders or dictates of the committee in the above matters. The committee makes its recommendations for ap propriations, and is ready at all times, I believe, to answer any questions the taxpayers desire, to the best of its ability. In closing, I wish heartily to thank the superintend 34 ing school committee and citizens for their support during the year. Respectfully submitted, WINFRED E. CLARK, Superintendent of Schools.
