REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE Your Committee appointed under Article 18 of the War- rant for the Annual Town Meeting of 1926 wishes to make the following report: It has viewed the premises which comprise a road in Tonset at Rocky Point on the Town Cove. This road, which is seven eighths of a mile long, is the property of Mr. F. G. Gibson and is offered as a gift by him. This gift also comprises three (3) landings on the Town Cove, one (1) of forty (40) feet in width and two (2) of fifteen feet. Your Committee recommends the acceptance of this road, which with the landings on the Town Cove, becomes a valuable property for the people of the Town to enjoy. Your Committee does not recommend the improvement of this road, at present, beyond making it passable. Respectfully submitted, Arthur F. Smith, Wm. H. Howes, Arthur L. Sparrow, Ralph W.

In the High School evidence of a lack of study and preparation on the.part of the pupils is too frequently brought to the attention of those who occasionally visit the class rooms. This lack of preparation of the daily work is due more to a lack of •interest in the work than to any other cause. The remedy for this situation is not to be found by punishing the pupil in some way but rather in finding a way to create in the pupil a desire to learn the assigned lessons • TO do this, especially in small high schools, is a task too great for the average teacher to accomplish unaided. All forces which the community affords, even though remotely concerned with the work of the school, should enlist in a constant endeavor to have maintained a standard of scholarship that should properly pre- vail in a first class high school. As incentives to better work on the part of the pupils we are advocating two lines activity. One, the use of graphs to indicate the progress each h pupil is making in each of his studies, and the other, prizes for attain - ing a certain standard of scholarship.

We are also raising a number of second prizes of ten dollars each to be g iven to the pupils taking the College Entrance Examination Board examinations in the order of their relative standing. We believe we shall have enough of these to give one to each pupil passing the College Entrance Board examina- tions. A number of these rizes have already been pledged. P is below sixty. No pupil will receive a prize whose averag e other high These second prizes are not open to pupils in any school than in the town where the prizes are raised. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE? Every pupil in the three upper classes of the High School is eligible whether he is planning to o to college or not. In fact all pupils in these classes should be urged to take some of these examinations. A pupil who obtains from the College Entrance Examination Board fifteen credits has something nitely more ng in valuable than his high school diploma. For with that number he Of credits from the College Entrance Examination Board would be admitted to an university, college, or scientific school in the country. Not so with his diploma. Further, the acq tion of these credits shows a definite accomplishment while the high school diploma shows little more than four years of attgndance and not always that. The fact that a puln is not going to some higher institution of learning is not a sufficient reason for permitting him to dawdle with his high school work. INATION BOARD THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM The College Entrance Examination Board is an organization composed of representatives from colleges, scientific school se of i P an its exam secondary schools. It was organized in 1899 for the P maintaining standards.

A comparison of the averages with those of last year shows a marked improvement, especially in grades five and six. These two grades in Chatham, it will be seen by the table of averages on another a e, attained five of the six highest averages in this superintendency union. The other highest average was obtained by the sixth grade in Orleans with the only perfect score by any grade. We also give another table showing the re in the number of pupils in each grade getting a perfect sco different arts of the examination. The improvement over last year is due to more drill upon fundamentals• If these tests were given in June instead of in December they would probably show more accurately the real accomplishment of the several grades in which they are given. HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL COURSE For a long time a demand has been felt for a commercial h a course in the high school. It is safe to say, that if suc courbse were offered more pupils would be found taking it than could found taking our general or college preparatory courses. and At first we would need to make an outlay for eId e supplies while the continuance of the course would necessitate the employment of another teacher. I recommend that plans be started at once for such a course so that the work may be Offered to the pupils next September. $pace forbids further O omme t uOP° a work of on Service, schools Music, Drawing, Health, Physical Training, Luncheon Equipment, teachers with more experience, l� tation, as 100 all worthy Of ll as other matters of more or less import favorable comment.

Which is the better Policy to pursue is a debatable question. I think that a partial solution may be found in more rigid requirements for admission to each of the grades above the seventh. Other suggestions which take the home into consideration are definite hours for home study, regularity in attendance; more frequent PUPi1- Parent- teacher conferences and reasonable after school sessions without the teacher being called to task by•parents. Perhaps 'n true past we have been making too great sacrifices to quantity at the expense of quality. If so, it is easy to apply the remedy used sop ith- generally�n other places which is to force the w drawal from school of the poorest scholars.
