What it lacked in numbers was more than
made up in the enthusiasm manifested

The ladies of the Star Club furnished
the good things to eat and this, to those

REPORT -
IS COMPLETED.
BY COMMITTEE

The report of the Gardiner school
committee is we'll worthy the thoughfuI
perusal of every Gardiner citizen. The
Following is an abstract of especial in
terest:
We wish to express two hopes. First
that these annual reports may be thor
oughly studied and analyZed by ali our
citizens. and second. that interest in
school affairs may be increased by fire.
quent visitation. Better ACQUAINTANCE
with existing conditions will convince
the public that the progress and i'm
provement made fully justifies the pres
ent outlay Of funds. and also that the
future must see marked increase in
school expenses, in order that the legit-
innate demands Of the situation may be
wisely met
Our schools are now better housed
Except the High SCHOOL, better equip
ped. and better supplied with teachers
than at any time in the past. but pres
ent conditions clearly indicate that
there is lack of accommodations and
facilities in our grade schools which
demands Immediate attention.
our High school situation has reach
ed point where our citizens must pro-
vide adequate accommodations. or else
reduce the school. radically increa sing
the cost to the city. and sacrificing
of effort and upbuilding attended b.
great discomfort.
Our estimates for the year 1916 are
based on the normal expense Of our
present school organization. Before the
school situation can be properly handled,
additional rooms must be provided. For
an idea of what may be necessary you
are referred to the last page of the su-
perintendent'S report.
After reminding YOU that we now
provide three special supervisors in the
place of one; thereby introducing man.
ual training and domestic science, en-
tending the instruction in music and
drawing to the rural schools and music
to the High school; that We provide ad-
ditional teachers where most needed and
that we provide a school physician and
trained superintendent. we wish to
compare amounts asked for this year
with appropriations made in the past
n 1909 and 1910 the city raised for the
Common School fund S10S0. providing
for an average attendance OF 7oO pu-
pills.
g In 1916 We ask the city for s1c.Oa5
covering all the above improvements
and providing for a probable average
attendance Of SIS pupils.
I'm 1909 and 1910 the city raised
for the High school $500. providing for
school Of seven teachers and 100 en-,
rolled pupils. 1915 we ask for $4,000
to provide for nine teachers and a pres
ent enrolment of o34. This makes nc
provision for an additional room next
fall when the enrolment is likely to be

scented to secure compliments, but only
that our citizens may feel that their
money is carefully expended. and that
any request necessary for additional ap-
preparations in the future may be grant
ed, knowing that it will be cared for
in a like manner

Boy Scouts and School Work.

Any movement which interests the
boys OF any city or town is always
sure to raise in the mind of the parent
and those interested in educational
affairs the question as to whether or
not such a thing will be liable to de-
tract the attention of the boy from his
school work. This is only natural and
shows a healthy state Of mind. The
introduction of the Boy Scout move
ment in Gardiner mas raised such a
question which apparently may best
be answered by communication from
W. w. Blakely Of Shelbyville, Ind. He
says In looking over the school re-
ports Of our city for the last school
period. l find that IN two grades, the
seventh and eighth, we have As boys
who are scouts and 50 who are not
scouts. l have compared the two
bodies of boys as to their grades to OBJ
tain facts with which to meet the dis
approval of parents who complain that
scout work keeps the boy from his
studies The following table has eff
,fcctually answered this complaint. Out
of 100 boys, 45 are scouts and their
grades follow: In grade 7B-13 scouts
average $50. In grade IA scouts
average S2.4. In grade SB-17 scouts
average SIT while in SA-9 scouts
average sos. The average of the 40
scouts is 81 per cent. OF the other 80,
not scouts in grade 7B. 81 boys aver
age 1913. In grade 7A-17 boys average
79S In grade SB-S boys average SIS
and in SA-3 boys average So. The
boys, not scouts have an average OF
500 per cent. OF these SO boys, two
fell below passing Is per cent. Out
of the 81 scouts in High school, all re-
ceived passing grades. And out of all
the scouts of the city not one failed to
receive passing grade.
In Gardiner the Boy Scout move
ment has many staunch adherents
among those interested in educational
affairs. One observant citizen has
stated that it should be part OF
school education and that the first aid
work Of the Boy Scouts is equally i'm
portant to any branch of studies now
taught in the public schools. "
