CHICHESTER
REPORT
TOWN
REPORT
OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
SCHOOLS
CHICHESTER
OF
----To the Chichester
School
Board:
I herewith submit for your consideration my sixth annual .report as superintendent of schools. Its purposes will
be to state some of the most vital facts about the schools for
the p;rst year, to compare some of those facts with information given in previous reports, and to discuss some of the
important needs of the future.
INSTRUCTION
Last spring standard tests in Reading were given to
rades
II to VIII, in Arithmetic Reasoning (Problem Solv~
Ing) to Grades III to VIII, and in general achievement
to Grades IV to VIII.
These were in addition to the usual
achievement tests given to Grade VIII only.
. Last Nvember
other standard tests in Reading were
~
glv.en to. Grades II to VIII;
in Arithmetic
Computation,
Anthmetlc Reasoning. Language Usage, and SpellilP to
Grades III to VIII; in Grammar and History to G;des
~
VII and VIII; in Geography to Grades V to VIII, and in
Nature Study and Health to Grades IV to VIII.
The results. of both .of these testing programs have been carefully
tu(hed
and dIscussed at the regular monthly teachers' meet~
Ings and they have been found exceedingly helpful to
eacher
in determining the type of
~
~ and superintendent
InstructIOn each pupil should receive.
I t is planned soon to give another series of tests to further
check the results of our efforts.
By a comparison of the results of the tests given in the
alls
of 1923 an 1928 we find that now the ae~rage pupil
~
~
n
any
f~ the mIddle or upper grades is about as proficient
~
m readmg, arithmetic, and the other fundamental subjects
as the average pupil in the grade next higher was five years
ayo. For example, the average achievement of fifth grade
III
TOWN
REPORT
53
pupils in 1928 was about the same as the average achievement of sixth grade pupils was in 1923. In spite of this
encouraging improvement some of these grades still are
slightly below standard in some subjects whereas others are
considerably above.
The following is another example of the progress being
made ill the Chichester schools. In June, 1924 the average
of the scores received by the eighth grade pupils on
their final examinations was 6.8; that is. a group of sixth
grade pupils up to standard would have done as well in
Mayas this eighth grade group did in June.
In June, 1925
the average was 7.0; that is. this eighth grade group did as
well as but no better than a group of seventh grade pupils
up to standard would have done when they were just starting the work of the year. In June, 1926 the average was
8.7; that is, they lacked only two months of being up to
standard.
In June, 1927 the average was 8.9, or just
stanchrd.
In June, 1928, with only three pupils taking
the tests. the average was 8.4, or five months below standard.
I believe this improvement in the quality of the work being
done is noteworthy. and the results for the past three years
indicate that Chichester pupils are being well prepared for
high school.
PROMOTIONS
Forty-three pupils were promoted to the next grade and
five. or ten per cent, failed to be promoted.
The two who
received certificates of admission to high school were Madison Bailey and l\Ia,deJine Sanborn.
Both are continuing
their education.

It is significant that fi fty-s~

reported as existing at the time of the examination and that
not one defect had been corrected during the year.
I
hope the voters of Chichester will carefully consider this
question: "Is it a good investment to pay about $50 for being
told that defects exist if none of them are going to be corrected ?"

EQUIPMENT
The work done at the Pine Ground School last summer
has greatly improved the exceptionally bad sanitary conclibons there.
To some the cost of these repairs and improvements may seem to be rather high but when it is realized
that very little has been done for several years in the way
of keeping up, not to mention improving, the building and
equipment, it is readily seen that the amount spent for the
past six or eight years is really very low. Throughout the
56
CHICHESTER
TOW{\"
REPORT
state an average of over two dollars per pupil is spent each
year for minor repairs and about six or eight dollars for
improvement of buildings and equipment.
If these amounts
may be taken as close approximations to what is necessary
to maintain buildings and equipment and to make reasonable
progress, and I believe they can. then $200 to $250 should
be spent each year at the Pine Ground School for these purposes. The total expenditures for these purposes for all
schools in the district for the past six vears have been as
follows:
1922-23, $101.16;
1923-24, -$326.92;
1924-25,
$340.96; 1925-26, $239.21; 1926-27. $177.38, and 1927-28,
$174.31-an
average of $226.66 per year for all schools.
It can be seen then that Chichester has spent in the past six
years enough on all of its two to five schools to maintain and
improve one. If Chichester is to reach the standards in
buildings and equipment being set bv the other districts in
the state, $400 to $500 should be spe;1t each year on its two
schools for repairing and improving its buildings and equipment.
I f other schools are operated. the above amount
should be proportionately increased.
The major improvements needed immediately to standardize the two buildings now in use are as follows:
Pine Ground- (1) Lighting Conditions.
The room receives about 78 per cent of the amount of light it should
and 25 per cent of this is from the wrong direction. \Vhen
we realize that this room has about 39 square feet of glass
to admit light where it should be admitted as compared
with the WI square feet of glass that it should have, and
that the tops of the windows should be four and one-half
feet higher than they are in order to properly light the
blackboards, we appreciate somewhat the severe handicaps
under which the pupils are trying to work.
(2) Heating
and Ventilating.
Heating and ventilation equipment like
that at the Center is needed.
This would necessitate
the building of a new chimney. Because of the small size
of this building and its unusually low ceiling. it could not
be made to conform to all standards for an amount the dis-
CHICHESTER
TOWN
trict could afford but the lighting
proved at a fairly low cost.
57
REPORT
could be greatly
Im-
Center-(
1) Lighting
Conditions.
The room now receives only about 80 per cent of the amount of light it
should and 20 per cent of this amount comes from the
right so that eye strain is severe. The room is too wide for
its height to be properly
lighted and should be remodeled.
(2) Seating Conditions. Two-thirds of the desks
are too large for the pupils using them and should be replaced by desks better suited to the present and future
needs.
( 3) Toilets.
The toilets are unsanitary and poorly
located and should be replaced by chemical toilets easily accessible from the schoolroom.
(4) Fuel Room.
A suitable place for the storage of a year's supply of wood should
be provided.
This building is so large and otherwise so
constructed that it could be remodeled to meet present day
standards without great expense.
CONCLUSION
It may be observed from the foregoing statements (I)
that marked improvement has been made in the past five
years in the progress pupils make in the Chichester schools,
(2) that the recommendations of the health supervisors or
medical examiners have not generally resulted in corrective work being done. (3) that Chichester pupils attend school
more days than and nearly as regularly as other pupils in
the state, and (4) that the hygienic conditions of the buildings are not up to standard and should he improved
progressively by raising $400 or $500 each year for the
purpose.
,
I am glad of this opportunity to express my appreciation
of the generous cooperation I have received during the past
year from pupils, teachers, school board and other citizens.
