WEST CHELSEA SCHOOL DISTRICT
Much has been Accomplished During the Year-Numer-
Gus Improvements and Betterments for the Pupils
Recommendations for Further Work Along Modern
Lines-Estmates for the Year.

In his fourteenth annual report as
superintendent of the. West Chelsea
school district, which the board of ed
ucation there accepted and made a part
of their report. j. B. Stanton refers to
the continuity of the work during the
year being broken by illness. the Mt.
Pleasant street school being closed six
days.
There were LISA children enumerat-
cd an increase of 81 over the previous
year. The average attendance was
decreased by the prevailing diseases.
The attitude of the parents and pupils
regarding regularity of attendance Is
comme ndable, but there are individual
cases that are at fault. A committee
has been appointed by the board to
solicit the cooperation of the. other
boards of the town and to take steps
necessary to secure the appointment OF
an attendance officer for the town. In
dlvidual certificates are to be granted
those perfect for the term hereafter,
and larger ones for those perfect for
the year.
The largest class ever graduated was
that of the past year. Half of the class
were given certificates to the Academy
and all who took the examinations
passed, one being conditioned in one
study only.
Herman Feltcorn received a second
prize of IS from the Colonial Danes Of
the state in their essay contest, while
three others received certificates Of
merit.
The securing of an additional teacher
at the Mt. Pleasant street school made
it possible for the Third and Fourth
grades to have separate teachers, and
this resulted in greatly improved
work.
No changes in textbooks have been
made, but the superintendent recon-
mended that the board plan to have
all reading books owned by the dis
trict. as by so doing it will be posi-
BILE to provide four times as much
reading matter for the same amount
of money.
Special days have been observed and
there have been addresses to the pupils
on different occasions during the year.
There is a great deal of attention
given to the physical welfare of the
pupils and to the sanitary conditions
of the buildings by the teachers and
the board of education. There have
been basketball and baseball leagues
and an athletic meet among the gram
mar schools conducted by the Y. NJ
C. A, which reached only limited
number of boys who were best devel-
oped physically. What is needed is
to reach both boys and girls, and es-
pecially thohe whose physical devel-
opment is poor. This it is hoped to do

Death of Miss Marguerite L. DiIworth
Another Shade Tree Removed by
Tree Warden Davis-LosaI Happen
mas

Miss Marguerite Lucille Dilworth.
youngest daughter of Annie Ringland
and William James Dilworth passed
away Tuesday morning at six o'clock
a the home of her parents, No. 28
Murray avenue, East Norwich. She
had been sick since Friday noontime.
Scarlet fever was the cause of her
death. Her age was five years and
eight months.
Besides her parents, the child is
survived by four sisters, Mrs. Henry
Gee of Laurel Hill, Mrs. John Green
wood of White Rock, r. l., and the
Misses Agnes and Annabel Dilworth.
who live at home, and six brothers,
William and John of New York, and
James, Samuel. Albert and Hugh Dill
worth. who reside in Norwich.
The deceased was a bright little
girl, who had just commenced going
to school, and showed a great deal of
promise. She had winning ways and
will be greatly missed by her house
hold members and by her many
friends. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved
family in their great loss.

in some degree this year. He referred
to the swimming lessons given by the
Y. M. A. during the summer and
hopes that the number who can swim
is increased this fall.
The need of a public playground in
the district is urged This is a ques-
ton that should be taken up by the
people of the district in order that the
children may have a suitable place to
play ball and other games.
The sanitary conditions of the school
rooms and buildings are well looked
after. Disinfectants are used in all
closets every day, special prepara-
tions are used when the floors are
swept. formocones are used at the
High street school. automatic disinfec-
tors are used in the Mt. Pleasant
street school, paper towels are pro-
vided for general use, liquid SOAP and
drinking fountains are on trial, dust
less crayon has been substituted for
that previously used and other faclll-
ties for removing dust are provided.
The conditions of the individual pupils
should receive more attention in order
to prevent needless exposure to dis
ease. This means medical inspection
which should be put into practice as
soon as the finances of the district Will
allow 1t seems that one person might
combine the duties of a school attend
ance officer and school nurse The
question of ventilation should receive
mre attention in the interest of econ
omy.
During the winter fire extinguishers
were installed on each floor of the
school buildings and fire drills are
given frequently and unexpectedly.
The teachers are worthy of corf-nen-
dation for their work and cheerful CO.
operation. Teaching facts is eompar-
atively a simple matter; assimilating
individuals is much more difficult, and
taxes the teachers resources and inge-
nuity to the utmost.
In all the schools minor repairs have
been made. At the Pearl street school
the doors of the rooms have been
changed to swing out, while four room
doors in the Mt. Pleasant street>school
have been similarly changed. Many
repairs and much painting and var
ishing have been done.
The district estimates for this year
are receipts from the town $14,360,
state library s55, tax $7,44S.99, balance
s525, total s22.3Ss.99. The estimated
disbursements equal that amount in
Guiding a note for 500, teachers pay
