Town of Barrington 47 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Board and Citizens of Barrington

During the past year the school grounds have been further improved by tarring the drives and constructing a wide front walk and steps of reinforced concrete. The design and specifications for this work were contributed gratis by Huddleston and Hersey, architects of the building. Interior improvements include new teachers' desks purchased by the District, and a velvet stage cur- tain and operating gear purchased from proceeds of school entertainments given by the pupils under the direction of Principal Piper and the teachers. A dona- tion of books to the school library has been made by Mr. Leonard Chilson of Exeter. Through the interest and kindness of the ofl^icials of the Twin State Gas and Elec- trict Company of Dover, the Practical Arts room of the Barrington School will be furnished with the latest model of electric range, as a demonstration of this type of domestic convenience. Fortunately, the required special wiring was provided when the building was erected.

Under the sponsorship of the Barrington Woman's Club, Red Cross, and Centennial Grange, a dental clinic was arranged in April by the School Nurse, Miss Mar- garet MacDonald, with Dr. C. H. Manning as the at- tending dentist. Thirty-four pupils received certificates of complete care. There were only eight cases of com- municable disease reported during the year. If the small number of cases of defective vision and diseased tonsils reported to the homes by the nurse should be attended to by action of the parents, the health of this :

48 Annual Report large group of pupils at the school would be remarkably good on the whole.

Parents have continued to provide generously for the hot lunch, the preparation of which by pupil com- mittees has been a valuable and educational project. Mrs. Brock has had special preparation for supervising this work.

The second eighth grade class to graduate in the new building included the following : Geraldine Jean- ette Blaisdell, Virginia Agnes Caverly, Lydia Kathleen Chapman, Charles Henry Elliott, Leona Mae Fogarty, Marion Louise Foster, Florence Clara McCarthy, Ralph Albert Nestor, Ruth Elizabeth Taylor, Elaine Alice Turner, Lester Albert Waterhouse, Ruth Irene Water- house, Arthur Joseph Horan, Beverly Robert Downs, Lovina Alice Brown, Alfred Norman Moreau.

Honor Roll for One Year of Perfect Attendance Lester Waterhouse, Ruth Waterhouse, Eleanor Bailey, Alice Bryson, Beatrice Garland, Fred Jackson, Dorothy Plaisted, Richard Goodwin, Oral Goodwin, Roger Bumford, Charlie Bryson, Doris Brown, Betty Fall, Barbara Neal.

The school enrollment for the present year is as follows

Room Grades Number Teacher Primary 1 and 2 25 Mrs. Beatrice P. George Intermediate, 3 and 4 36 Miss Rita C. Stewart Grammar, 5 and 6 32 Mrs. Grace H. Brock Junior, 7 and 8 26 Mr. Robert M. Piper, Prin. Mrs. Merle Beebe, Substitute

Total 119

Mr. Piper was granted leave of absence for one year by the School Board on account of his induction Town of Barrington 49

into the selective service draft January 6, being the first teacher in the state to be called, according to press re- ports. A farewell party was tendered him at the school by pupils and teachers.

Through a rearrangement of transportation, four vehicles are being used this year instead of three. The School Board has shortened the noon hour so as to close school one-half hour earlier during the winter months.

The nation's schools are essential to its defense. For the culture of a people can not be eradicated by conquest. Truth brings freedom from error and super- stition, and discipline brings freedom from disorder. Schools are for the nurture of intelligent, competent, and devoted citizens, and for this purpose they must be maintained. Respectfully submitted,
