Supt. of Schools Z
Speaker Rotary
Meeting at ElmwOOd

=. =. Glover, the superintendent Of
the Waterville public schools was the
speaker at the meeting of the Wa
terville public schools was the
speaker at the meeting Of the Wa
tervllle Rotary Club Yesterday noon
at the Elmwood Hotel.
In beginning Mr.. Glover spoke of
the Importance Cf the schools. saw
ing that every man should acouaint
himself with the system and es.
pecially the finances. Out of the
total of half million dollars raised
py taxation each year in Waterville.
third goes to the support of the
schools, the other two thirds going
to the other seven branches of the
municipal government.
The school appropriation this year
is approximately $4,000 a consid-
cradle increase over the previous
year. Mr.. Glover explained that this
money came from two sources; from
the city and from the State. The
State appropriation is based on
three things: 500 being granted for
each teacher authorized by the State,
So for each person in the city be-
tween the ages of five and p years
and the rest is determined by the
aggregate attendance of the schools.
Last year the city received around
$4,000 of State money for the
schools.
The speaker wished to correct the
impression held in the minds of
many that the board of education
is allowed to do as it pleases in the
|conducting of the schools. The
money to be spent is divided by
State law, a certain amount going
to pay teachers and other amounts
being used for boarding pupils,
transportation, repairs of buildings
conveyance, fuel, text books and sup
plies, evening schools and miscel-
laneous expenses.
Mr.. Glover said that there were
1888 pupils in the schools of the
city last year and another 1900 in
private and parochial schools. Ii
the private schools were to go out
of existence and If the city were
forced to take care of the entire
school population he thought that
the appropriation would have to be
at least doubled.
Besides the financial question Mr.
Glover explained that the school
board was not allowed free rein In
any other branch of the work
Courses of study must be authorized
by the State department of educa-
ton and certified teachers must be
hired if the city is to receive the
500 given for each teacher. NO
major repairs can. be made to the
school buildings without the sanction
of the State department and much
of the school calendar Is ruled py
that body. =
At the close of Mr.. NGlover's talk
Judge w. C. Philbroo-- said few
words on the Importance of the SUD
iect that the speaker had just dis
cussed and he spoke of the recog-
nized excellence of the Waterville
school system.
Abbott Smith, son of Rev. William
A. Smith, was presented with a sum
of money in recognition of the ser
vices he has given the Rotarians at
! the piano during the last year. WITH
in = short time he will sail for visit
in Europe. The presentation speech
was made by Carroll n. Perkins.

accessories bought between June and
