City Government, January 2, 1922.

The final meeting of the City Council of 1921 was held

in the Council Room at 7.30 o'clock in the afternoon.

Mayor Whittaker and Councilmen James. Seamans,Rousseau, Riley, Benson, Woodman, Atvvood, Lagace, andDouphinett were present.

After disposing of the business cominng before them the

Council adjourned to the Opera House, where MayorWhittaker deli\ered his valedictory address.

Mayor Whittaker's Valedictory Address.

My FcUozv Cificciis

:

An occasion like this should luring i)leasure to the heart

of any citizen who has the good of the comnuinity at heart.

I have served as mayor of our city for two years and it is

for you to say whether my work has been successful or not.

All I can say is that 1 did my very best and if there weresome things 1 did not do well, it was because 1 could not,

and not because 1 did not try.

It has ])een a great pleasure f(jr me to work with so manyearnest, thoughtful men and women as I have been associ-

ated with during these two years. (Air city is blessed with

a large number of men and women who devote their time

and best thought to adxance the general interests of all.

C\'\\ (11' I'KAN KI.IN

1 am certain 1 do not overstate the case when 1 say that wehave as many ^ood citizens, accorchng to our population, as

any city.

When we stop to think of it, a good citizen is the greatest

asset any community could have. .\ good citizen is onewho constantly and conscientiously accommodates his con-

duct and his business to the rights of others and the interests

of the community. A good citizen thinks of his city as a

l)art of his life. There are always some who think that

those who are giving time to public affairs must ha\e the

motive of self-interest because they themselves have noconception of i)ublic duties and no realization of the satis-

faction of self-sacrifice.

The good citizen does not forget to register, he does not

neglect the primaries, he tries to find out which nomineesare the best men, he rarely or never votes a straight ticket.

I le is willing to accept public office and still more willing to

lay it down when his service has been rendered.

And so, my friends, 1 take this occasion to thank each

and every one of you and all the citizens of Franklin for

every kind word and deed you have extended to me during

the two years I have acted as your mayor and assure youthat I shall continue to take a kindly interest in the welfare

of this community. 1 shall gladly support those wln) maycome into office in the future in every measure which will

benefit the city.

Someone has said that he who accepts a trust is [)ublic

property. This ma\ be true to some extent. .My notion

of city governments is that they are created to function for

all the i)eople. When a i)ublic official takes the oath of

office, he agrees to support \hv Constitution of the United

States and to administer the laws justly and impartially.

(lOvernments exist by law and only by enforcement of lawcan we have good government. The city government aboutto retire has in tlir past nut with severe criticism and yet

what we sought to do was to turn o\er to our successors the

good nanu' of our chv. untaniished.

OKCANIZATlON

What Has Been Accomplished.

Two years ago when 1 assumed the duties of mayor, the

outside roads were in a very bad conchtion. We promised

to improve this condition last year. ( )wing to extremerains and consequent damage to roads, not as much wasaccomplished as we had hoped to, but this year nearly all

these conditions have been remedied. The people who use

these roads tell me they are in better condition than they

have been for years. It has cost a large expenditure of

money to do this. If these roads are properly cared for it

should not cost very much to keep them in good condition.

Last year we completed the road to the Andover line. This

year we have built over a mile of new road on the Sanborn-ton road, so-called. This should be completed the comingyear. \\'ith this plan in view most of the appropriation for

highways can be expended on the streets within the city

limits.

Fire Department.

During the past year we have purchased a newLaFrance fire pump to take the place of the defunct

steamer. This will be a great help in fighting fires

especially at low pressure places in our water systen).

This pump is to be delivered some time this month.

Schools.

During the past year the city council passed a vote, in-

structing the mayor and city treasurer to borrow a sum of

money not to exceed $24,000. to build additions to the

Hancock school house, but owing to the high cost of labor

and material this has not been done.

.V city nurse has been maintained the past year. Herw(irk has been mostly in the schools in an eifort to teach the

children how to become good, healthy citizens, that they maythe better fit themselves for the duties which lie right aheadof them. This work has been highly satisfactory and is

well worth the money expended. The work is in charge of

Mrs. Annie Provost, an efficient and capable nurse.

CITV (»r T-K.W KI.IN

Soldiers' Memorial.The last cit)' report contained the names and record oi

those from I'Vanklin who served in the World War.A hrt)nze tablet has been placed on the Soldiers' Memorialbuilding bearing their names, and was de('icated with api)ro-

priate ceremonies on Armistice Day. It has been suggested

that another tablet be erected, bearing the names of the

veterans of the Civil and Spanish Wars, and the Council

of 1921 has recently voted to do this, and I have no doubt

but the new Council will carry out this program.Police Department.

During the last summer this cle])artmcnl was called uponto handle a critical situation, and while it was not handled

to please everybody, and by many was criticized severely,

yet I believe every officer on the force was conscientious

and tried to do his full duty.

Mr. Bassett, who has been for a long term of years a

faithful and efhcient night officer, has been imable, during

the past year, to perform the duties of the office, but wehave kept him in the service, allowing him to do what he

could. I trust that some arrangement may be madewhereby Mr. Bassett will be continued on the payroll of

the city, as I feel that the conscientious and efficient service

rendered by him for so man\ years should not go unre-

warded.Franklin Rate Case.

ORGANIZATION

The maintenance of the ohl schedule under the holding

of the Public Service Commission has resulted in a saving

to the people of the City of Franklin of over a thousanddollars a month, with the amount for municipal street light-

ing taken as before, without taking into account any pro-

posed increase that might be asked for municipal street

lighting upon 'the expiration of the present contract.

The valuation for rate making purposes has been estab-

lished at $245,000 plus $15,000 for working capital andsupplies, or a total of $260,000.

The Franklin Light and Power Company filed a proposedschedule of rates to take effect September 1, 1920. This

rate as filed, without objection on the part of anybody,would have taken eft'ect on that date and the people of the

city would have been paying for light and power under that

schedule from that time on. The city, through the mayor,objected to this schedule going into effect and requested aninvestigation of the entire subject of rates for both light

and power and the establishment of the value of the prop-

erty of the Franklin Light and Power Company for rate

making purposes.

When the city entered its objection the proposed rates

were automatically suspended and the company continuedto furnish light and power at the old rates.

Lighting Rates.

Under the old schedule the income of the company fromlighting rates alone, including the municipal lighting,

amounted to $38,931.04 per year. Under the first schedule

as filed by the company, the income to be derived by the

company would have amounted to $5L520.68, a dift'erence

in lighting alone of $12,589.64 increased income which the

people of the city would have to pay for lighting alone.

Through the investigation called for by the city therefore,

there has been saved over one thousand dollars per monthfor lighting alone. A*; hefnre ctnterl t^^p Q^-hrr^'-l ^ -\-?c fn^o:!

commission was not handed down unv'l i

it will be readily seen that during the period of investigation

and consideration by the commission alone, there was a sav-

10 CITY OF FRANKLIN

ing to the people of the city on Hghting of between fourteen

and fifteen thousand dollars. This saving is now madepermanent, of course, by the order of the commission,

declining to allow the proposed increase in lighting rates

to go into effect.

Power Schedule.

For the present the commission has allowed the powerschedule as filed to go into effect. The old power schedule

was unscientific and discriminatory in certain of its phases.

The new schedule as filed is a scientific schedule whichw'ipes out the discriminatory features of the old schedule

and under which every power user will pay for exactly

vVhat he uses, based upon meter readings. In this connec-

tion the Public Service Commission said: "In view of the

unusual uncertainty of the continuance of present conditions

the rates will be subject to revision whenever, after reason-

able trial, they are found to be unfair and unjust."

Finances.

The balance sheet for the year 1921, as taken from the

books of the City Clerk, shows that our indebtedness has

increased during the past year to the ex'tent of $7,757.54.

The increase was caused by extraordinary expenditures

which it was impossible for us to see or estimate correctly

at the time the appropriations were made, and consisted

principally of the following items : Cash, amounting to

$4,500.00 borrowed for the water commissioners to enable

them to complete the new filter at the Pemigewasset ]>lant

;

overdrafts in the incidental account of $6,670.12, iwlice

department $1,841.07. highways $1,115.03. and discount of

$960.00 in the sale of the water works refunding bondsissued October 1, 1921. amounting in all to $15,087.12. Thedifference between the increase of debt and the cause of

same is partially accounted for by unexpended balances in

several of the ci'ty departments.

The large overdraft in the incidental account was causedprimarily by expense of contesting the raise in rates for

electricity, which was sought by the h^ranklin Light andPower Company, through the l*ul)lic Service Commission,and which resulted in a substantial \ictorv for the users

ORGANIZATION 11

of electricity in Franklin, according to a recent decision of

the commission.

The overdraft in the police department was occasionedby the addition to the force of a night ofhcer in Ward Oneafter the appropriations were made, a substitute for Officer

Bassett during his inability to serve on account of lamenesscaused by a fall while performing his duties as night officer,

and a considerable sum paid out for special police duringthe summer and fall.

In connection with the discount in the sale of the WaterWorks Refunding Bonds issued October 1, 1921, I desire to

state that the city was most unfortunate in having the

bonds become due and payable on the above mentioned date

as it was just previous to the decline in the rates of interest,

and if the payment could have been postponed for a fewweeks the bonds would have sold at a premium instead of

a discount.

According to the requirements of a law passed by the

Legislature in 1917, the city was obliged to make the WaterWorks Refunding Bonds payable serially in a term not to

exceed fifteen years, and the payment for any year couldnot be less than the amount paid in any subsequent year,

therefore the bonds were made payable $6,000 per year for

five years, and $5,000 per year for ten years, beginningOctober 1, 1922. The requirements of the law apply to

any indebtedness incurred by any municipality which is to

be paid by the issuance of bonds or long term notes, except-ing that on new investments the term limit is 20 years. It

would be well to bear the foregoing facts in mind whenconsidering any large expenditures, as the sums requiredto be paid on the indebtedness each year must be raisedby taxation and cannot help but increase the tax rate

unless sharp economies are practised in other directions.

All old issues of bonds becoming due in the futuremust be paid in the same manner as descril^ed and thepayers will not only be obliged to pay in a limited periodfor new investments, but have the added burden of pay-ing indebtedness incurred many years ago.

12 CITY OF FRANKLIN

Value of Property.

One of the important things decided by the commissionis the valuation of the property of the company for rate

making- purposes. The rates are based u])on a fair

return on a fair value as found by the commission and in

view of the high value placed upon the property by the

company itself, partly because of the value claimed for the

water power, it is important that the commission has allowed

a value of $245,000.00 as a fair value upon which to base

rates, plus $15,000.00 additional for working ca])ital andsupplies.

Commercial Lighting.

The old rate and the one which the commission sustained

:

12 cents for the first 10 K. W.10 cents for the second 10 K. W.8 cents for the remaining K. W. used.

The first schedule filed by the company called for 14 cents

per K. W. for all used. By taking the rate as billed to younow by the company and figuring the difference betweenthat and what it would cost you if the first schedule filed

had gone into effect, you can readily see what it would havecost you under the proposed increase.

Purchasing Agent.

In my address to the Council on Januar_\- .>\\\ last, 1

recommended the appointment of a Purchasing Agent,

through whom the purchases of material for all the depart-

ments of the city should be made, believing that such a

method, which had been recommended to us by all the large

business interests in Franklin, would not only prove bene-

ficial to the city in a financial way but would add to the

efficiency of conducting our nnmicipal business.

.\t the lueeting of the City Council on I'V'bruary 7th. it

was voted to appoint the City Clerk as rurchasing Agentand the result of adopting this new method of purchasingsupplies for the several departments has certainly provedan undoubted success. Not only has a large amount of

money been saved in purchases made, but the decrease in

the quantity of materials bought has amounted to a nuich

ORGANIZATION 13

greater sum. Another valuable feature of the system in-

stalled by the Purchasing Agent is being able to tell at once'to whom the city, is indebted for purchases made, and the

exact amount owed to each business concern. Throughthe working of the method it was found at the end of ourfiscal year that the city owed less than $2.00 for goodsbought, but for which no bill had been rendered. The con-tinuance of this new system, with the hearty co-operationof the city officials, cannot fail to prove a great financial

benefit to the city.

And now as we come to the end of our journey, I desire

to express my sincere thanks to all city officials for the

many courtesies you have extended me, for advice andcouncil which I never sought in vain. I am deeply grateful.

To the various citizens' committees, all of whom servedfaithfully and well, I express my sincere thanks.

To you, gentlemen of the Council, with whom I have beenassociated during the past two years, I can never forget

the courtesy and splendid co-operation you have extended.You have acted like men with an honest desire to do the

best you could for your city, and as you retire from service,

you do so fully conscious you have done your best. Doubt-less, we have all made mistakes, but as they are honest oneswe can face the future with courage and fortitude.

To you who are to remain in the Council, I am. sure youwill continue to use your best judgment for the best interest

of the city as well as those who are to join you as newmembers.

To my successor, Mr. Douphinett, I extend my heartycongratulations. My earnest wish is that your administra-tion may meet with unparalleled success, and in all you seekto do in the interest of the city, you may have the samesplendid support that has been my portion during the pasttwo years.

The first meeting of the City Council of 1922 was called

to order in the Opera House.

The oath of office was administered by City Clerk Gossto Mayor-elect Louis H. Douphinett and to Councilmen-

14 CITY OF FRANKLIN

elect Herbert A. Griffin of Ward One, Eusebe P. Lemireof Ward Two, and John H. Thompson, Jr., of Ward Three.

Prayer was offered by Rev. C. B. Hansen.

Mayor Douphinett deHvered his inaugural address as

follows

:

Mayor Douphinett's Inaugural Address.

Gentlemen of the Council—Ladies and Gentlemen :

—

I desire to express to you my earnest thanks for the honoryou have conferred upon me in electing me as Mayor of our

city. I do not consider this election a personal or political

victory, but rather a victory for the principles for which I

stand, a triumph for the ideals of true Democracy.

I realize that the election just held presented an abnomialcondition, 'that the issue was clear-cut, and that certain

forces were lined up against me which represented wealth

and power. The result, however, clearly proved that the

majority of our citizens are in sympathy with our fight

against an unjust and cruel corporation, a corporation that

will not use the only fair and just means for settling their

labor differences, the Arbitration Board. A corporation,

though strongly organized itself, refuses to allow its em-ployees to organize. The only paper-making corporation

in this whole wide country which refuses to deal with its

workers as Union men.

However, we are not here tonight to discuss labor ques-

tions. Our program has to do with the conduct of I'rank-

lin's affairs for this year of 1922. I wish to assure youthat I shall give my l3est efforts to the successful accom-plishment of this program.

I believe in Franklin. 1 believe in law, and the preserva-

tion of order, in spite of all the propaganda so carefully

circulated prior to my election. I shall endeavor to merityour approval when the year is linished. I do not intend

to set forth a detailed list of things to be done during this

year. 1 believe that this should be a year of deeds instead

of words; that after a reasonable discussion of motionsin the Council, action should be taken, and thoughtful action

that will not require constant reconsideration. 1 believe that

ORGANIZATION 15

appropriations should be kept down 'this year, of all years.

The whole world is in the very depth of financial depression.

Individuals and corporations are curtailing, and cities should

certainly follow the same rules. If I were to criticize the

former administrations of Franklin in any respect, I wouldsay that the Councils have been too generous and perhaps

too extravagant in some cases. It is perfectly reasonable

for heads of departments to want all they can get for their

own budget, and I think it behooves us to put the lid downon every measure that calls for money over the barest

essentials.

We are a small city of 7,000 people. We cannot have a

fire department, a highway deparment, a school department,

a police department and other departments like Concord,

Manchester, or Nashua. We must, as a city, live as menmust live, within our income, and according to our size and

fortune. Where departments or duties of officials can be

combined, or concentrated, without losing efficiency, I advo-

cate this combinaion.

In closing, let me make this suggestion: Let's make this

one of Franklin's best years. Let's economize in every waywithout impairing our efficiency. Let's pull together andforget our differences of opinion. I realize that I am the

Mayor of all the people, and as such, I ask for the co-

operation of all of our citizens. With this help and co-

operation, I pledge to give to our City an administration

that will reflect credit on our citizens and upon myself.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.

To the Trustees of the Franklin Public Library:

The year 1922 at the library has been an unusually in-

teresting; and profitable one. The circulation has beenlarge, with a constantly growing demand for more books.The latest edition of the International Encyclopaedia,and of Webster's New International Dictionary wereadded during the year, as well as a number of biogra-phies of exceptional worth, and a twelve volume historyof the World War.

The tattered and soiled condition of the books in theChildren's Room calls for several hundred new copies.and money for this purpose could be used to good advan-tage.

The hbraries and public schools of the country are ourgreatest Americanization forces, and libraries can do this

so much more cheaplv than the schools that this meansshould be used to the fullest extent.

People who work constantly with the children of

foreign-born narents are amazed at their rapid assimila-

tion of American manners and ideals. Their taste in

books is identical with that of children from Americanhomes. They soon use the language with ecjual ease

and fluency. They are the best missionaries we can

send into the homes of the foreign born, and a few-

hundred dollars a year spent in attractively illustrated

books about happy American children will do a perma-nent work in making good citizens.

The library would welcome five hundred dollars to be

spent in the Children's Room next year.

The library has received no gifts of money, but a fine

new book case was built by the boys of the Manual Arts

department, and shelves placed in the Reference Room,under the direction of Mr. Whalen, the instructor. Thefinishing was done by Mr. Ruel Webster, who also

finished the walls and furniture of the Delivery Room.Keegan & French also gave valuable assistance as lock-

smiths at one time.

152 CITY OF 1-K.\.\ KLIN

Several books were given In' summer residents and a

magazine relating to Spanish-American interests by Dr.

Charles Chapman.

The Librarian v\"as gixen a two months' leave of

absence during Seotember and October, and Miss EvaDavis of the Nashua Public Library, gave efficient

service while she was gone.

A library meeting was held the first of September to

which librarians from the surrounding towns were in-

vited. Miss (irace Kingsland, the state commissioner,was present.

The following statistics will show the work for the year:

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OFSCHOOLS.

To the Board of Education:

—

I herewith sulMiiit my first annual report, which is the

twenty-second in the series of similar reports.

I shall not attempt in this report to review the school

work of the past year, as my part in it covers only a four

months' period. I shall, however, frankly discuss what myshort experience here convinces me are the most essential

immediate needs of the school system as a whole to render

it more efficient.

The most pressing immediate need is more room. Mypredecessor, in four annual reports, has called attention to

the same fact. It is a more serious proposition this year

than heretofore.

There are four grades with nearly double the number of

pupils they should have. The seriousness of this con-

dition is, that it makes the problem of discipline moredifficult ; that it makes individual assistance, so very essen-

tial in the lower grades, almost impossible except after

school hours ; that weakened discipline and little individual

attention increases the per cent of failures and retardations;

that every failure to make a grade means a year repeated;

that each pupil repeating means an increased money ex-

penditure by the city of about $60.00, in the high school

more than that ; that failures tend to discouragement andloss of interest, and this means leaving school in too manycases, without even an elementary school education.

This result could be traced farther to show its efifect uponthe quality of future citizenship if need be. but I assume it

is not necessary.

172 CITY OF 1-KANKL,IN

The crowded condition exists. A visit to the school

rooms and an examination of records will show every effect

I have mentioned above. The most apparent effect, in

every grade above the third, is the lar<^e per cent of

pupils doing unsatisfactory work, who should be in the

next lower grade to say the least.

This situation is due more to a condition than to a fault,

unless failure to provide more room in the past be a fault.

The condition has been and is; that "dou1>tful" pupils have

been promoted "on trial" because of the necessity of makingroom for each incoming class. I have no doubt that the

real cause for a large per cent of the 40, one-half of whomwere Freshmen, who left high school last year, (see Head-master Swett's report), could be traced to discouragementand loss of interest, as a direct effect of crowded school

rooms. I hope more room may be provided this year, for

every year of delay increases the seriousness of the result.

It is not alone the results of crowded school rooms that

cause children to leave school however.

The necessity of home financial aid, in the case of large

families, the feeling that school is a dull place and the con-

secpient desire to leave it as soon as the law allows, the

opportunities offered in every manufacturing communityfor employment, all these things are infiuences prt)ducingdiscontent in the youthful mind and resulting in final

withdrawal from school, and the call for labor certifi-

cates. How to keep the boys and girls in school longer's one of the big school problems in every industrial city.

How to make the schools best serve the interests of theimmunity is another problem.

We would like to see every boy and girl in Franklin getat least a high school education as that seems almost essen-tial in these days. This of course is not being done here.It is not being done anywhere. 'iMic vital (piestion is: Areour schools doing all they can to interest its ]>upils si) theywill, from choice, remain longer in .school, and at the sametime offering them courses that will better equip them forserving their community interest. The large number ofwork certificates issued would indicate they are not dt)ingthe former, and certainly, if not that, thcv are not doingthe latter.

BOARD Ot' EDUCATION 173

If the school fails to interest its boys and girls so that

they desire to remain in it for twelve years and get all it

offers, it should not fail to keep them in the first eight years—^the elementary scliool years—to give them those things

that shall prepare them to "fit in" to the life and industries

of the community.

This means doing more than we are now doing. Whatshall it be? We have considered and are still considering

building a new high school and thus relieve a crowdedsituation.

It is true, the high school needs more room m.jr .c

and more equipment to do more efficient work. But mobservations and study of the school situation of Frankl ii

leads me to conclude, that the high school cannot improve

its efficiency to any considerable degree, until the

efficiency of the grades has been improved.

To this end, I suggest a reorganization of the city

school system from the 8-4 plan (eight years in the ele-

mentary schools and four years in the high) to the 6-3-3

plan (six years of elementary work, three years of junior

high and three of senior high). This would mean keep-

ing the first six grade? practically as they are now, andestablishing and organizing a Junior High School of

three grades (the third doing practically first year high

school work) and leaving three years work, about as at

present, for the Senior High School.

The reason for such organization is apparent. It

would afford opportunity to materially improve andstrengthen the work of the seventh, eighth and ninth

years, the years that determine most clearly the child's

decision as to choice of more school, or of entering

the industries. If decision is more school, these three

years will give a much better preparation for high school

than is now given, because of the nature of the courses

that could be offered, and because the Junior High School

must have teachers specially trained for the work, thus

insuring better prepared teachers.

If the decision should be to enter the industries, andmany will still do this, we have opportunity to keep them

174 CITY OF FRAN KM M

in school one year Ioniser than now ; to give them a

preparation for high school, while at the same time,

through specially prepared courses, equip them to enter

the industries and more intelligently perform their work-

there.

A Junif)r High School would mean having a huilding

as centrally located as possible between the two parts of

the city, to which the present 7th and 8th grades of the

city could be transferred and the so-called FreshmanClass of the high school provided for.

Such an arrangement would relieve the present

crowded condition of the high school and grades at the

Falls, provide a suitable location for the Kindergarten,permit abandoning the new high school l)uilding project

for one much less expensive and giving Franklin a real

up-to-date Junior High School, with a course of studyappealing to the psychological interests of the child: a

course that would broaden one's outlook ujjon life; that

would awaken within one an ambition to delve further

into the realms of knowledge, thus ministering both to

the individual and community interests. 1 believe it is

the best thing to do at the ])rescnt time.

Special Room.

In every grade are those children who. for one reasonor another, do not grasp things as cpiickly as some others.

As weeks go on these children hnd themselves continu-ally falling behind in their work until they feel out-

classed. Such is really the case. In the meantime the

quicker ones have been retarded and feel that they ha\ebeen held back from such advancement as they mighthave made had it not been for the slower ones. 'Phis,

too, is true.

1 would suggest having a room, called the "SpecialRcjom," to which these sk)wer ones may go for special

instruction by a special teacher, wln) could give themindi\idual attention and help them to regain their gradestanding. vSuch an arrangement would greatly helpthem, and at the same time allow the others to aclvanccas ra])idly as they were al)le. I belic'\c the general bene-

P.OARD OF IvDUCATlON 175

fit derived from such a room would be well worth thecost of the extra teacher for it. I believe, too, that theparents of l^oth classes of pupils would greatly appreciatesuch a room.

Teachers.

Of the thirty-one regular teachers in the school system,ele\ en are new to Franklin schools, but none withoutprevious teaching experience. They are a good, con-scientious corps of teachers as a whole, earning their

money. The salary schedule needs revision. It is

hardly just to pay a teacher, of from five to fifteen years'

experience, no more than is paid one, of one or twoyears' experience, if both have had the same preparation.Ability, training and experience should be recognized in

terms of salary in school work as in other things.

The teacher of today however, cannot rest upon thelaurels of a Normal School graduation of the past, noran experience of many years and expect promotion, in-

crease of salary or retention, without evidence of am-bition to keep up with the rapid progress of everchanging modern methods, by means of reading, studyand occasional attendance at summer schools. The re-

quirements f(^r school teachers are becoming more andmore exacting. Those teachers meeting requirements,are the teachers of the near future with correspondingcommensurate salaries.

Books.

It will be necessary to ask for an increased appro-priation for books this year.

During and since the war period, the price of school

l)ooks has been so high that the supply in most schools

was allowed to reach the lowest possible limit. At the

present time there is not a school room in any Franklinschool nroperly equipped with regular text books to dorequired work. The supplementary reading books, too,

are wholly inadequate to assist pupil or teacher in doingreal helpful efficient work. There is not a teacher that

has not asked for large additions to her book supply.


Repairs.

The necessary repairs of the past year have been ex-

pensive. The repairs of this comingyear will be as large.

The roof of the high school building, repaired two yearsago, is very much out of repair now. Other repairs in the

high school building should be new \alves for the heating-

apparatus adequate to meet the increased pressure of

steam now allowxd at the central heating plant ; somenew ceilings and stairs ; fire escape repaired and put in

working order. In the Hancock building, the toilets

should be replaced by modern fixtures to prevent so great

a waste of water and expense in keeping them in workingorder.

All the surburban schools need numerous repairs andtwo of them new furniture.

The Mechanic Arts department, wherever located nextyear, will need practically an entirely new c(|uii)ment.

(See Mr. W'halen's report).

Summer School.

The enrollment in Summer School was forty-seven.

Most of those attending were promoted to regular class

standing at beginning of the school year in Sei)tember.

However, I have some doubts that pupils, who havebeen nresent the entire school year and refused pro-

motion in June, can be adequately prepared for pro-

nn)tion in September, after less than 50 hours of e.xtra

work in the summer. Further observations and experi-

ence may conxincc mc this can be successfully done.

Evening School.

The total cnrnllnK'nt at "livening School" has beenfifty-nine. Of these, twenty-nine were adults andvoluntary i)U]m1s, fifteen men and fourteen women. Theattendance has been very regular and highly satisfactory,

showing good interest. The attendance since the Christ-

mas vacation has been laigcr than before, an unusualthing.

If a Junior liigh School is cstablishetl, the scope of

work done with these pupils could be greatly enlarged

and n-iade to attract larger numbers.

schools. I can testify to great progress in most rooms.I agree with Mrs. Watts that before we get a satisfactoryhigh school chorus, the singing in the grades must bebetter developed. I cjuestion the advisability of allowinghigh school punils who can sing even a little to choosespelling instead of singing.

Every voice in high school should be tested. If foundcapable of singing, the pupil should be required to takesinging.

The Houston system of writing has been introduced,because of its simplicity, and common sense. Theresults already justify the change. It seemed to methat no system of writing could be made really effective

if the supervisor was to be changed every year. In

changing the system it seemed wise to me to secure, if

possible, a local supervisor as we would be more liable

to retain her services for a series of years and thus securebetter results. Mrs. E. L. Welch consented to prepareherself fur the position and did so the past summer.The teachers have coo])erated splendidly, and I per-

sonally am much pleased with results secured. I trust

you will read the reports of both of these teachers.

Health.

The school nurse has daily proven her value. Areading of her rejxM't will show you the scope of her

work.

It is unfortunate, that many parents seem to have the

wrong conception of her duties and of her helpful sug-

gestions and recommendations and that in consequencetheir children lose the intended benefits therefrom. It

is pleasing, that so many more heartily cooperate withher and that their children are healthier because of it.

Scholarships.

The »"ra(hiales of Franklin Hi<j^h School have four

scholarships available for their use in as many different

colle.^es. The Daniell Scholarship is available for the

Institute of Technology but is not at the i)resent timebeing used. The Sanger Scholarship for SimmonsCollege and the Duffy Scholarship for Dartmouth are

being made use of. The Ruth Adams Scholarship for

Mt. Holyoke College is another not being used at present.

These scholarshii)s should be an incentive for our grad-uates to try to meet their requirements and improve the

o]j])ortunitv of their use. \\ hen the Mechanics ArtsCourse of our high school is able to give more advancedwork than at present, including iron work and variouskinds of mechanical work, then I feel sure that some boywill be interested to make use of the Daniell Scholar-shi]).

Conclusion.

1 lia\e endeavored to state plainly wliat seems to meshould be known, not only to you as a school board, butto the Dublic as well. \u discussing the needs of the

school and what to do to satisfy them. I have intended nocriticism of teachers or school work. It lias seemedbest to ui\e the real situation and ask for relief. With-out knowing the facts, the pul)lic cannot be expected io

supi)oit loxally any great mo\ement, in\i)l\ing large ex-

penditure of the pul:)lic funds. 1 feel certain from the

many ex])ressions of interest in the schools, that the

citizens of lM-aid<lin are ready to sui)port any reasonablemo\ement for ini])roving its schools however good theyUKP- be now. I should be false to my own ideals of a

scho(»l to say that I am satisfied with the schools of

I'Vankliii. \\'c ]ia\c some teachers as good as can befound anywhere. I'nless we can gMve those teacherssmtable conditions under which tt) work, they cannotgi\e baik to us the best results.

I know lliat }i)U, the I'oard of Ivlucation, are fully

aware of tlic disad\ anlages exisiting in the working con-ditions ol the sihool and tliat xou are \ery anxious to

ha\e those conditions inii)i'o\ cd. I lu'He\e the ])nblic

Board oi' TvDTTCATroN 179

as a whole will be as anxious as you. when they under-stand the situation as it is.

That the}' might so understand it, is my rcast)n for

being so frank in this report.

In concluding this report, I wish to compliment the

janitors of the Falls and Nesmith schools for the excel-

lent condition in which they keep their respective build-

ings, and for the courtesy they always sln)W the teachers,

visitors and children in their buildings. 1 think we ha\ethe right men in the right place.

1 wish, too, to express my appreciation to the citizens

of Franklin for the very cordial manner in which theyhave received me, making me feel from th^ \ ery first of

my coming that I was among friends. To the teachers,

who have been very patient with me while trying to get

"the run of things," and who have helped me again andagain, I wish to express my appreciative thanks. Toyou, as members of the School Board, whom I must havewearied by mv much coming for information and advice,

I express my gratitude for your courtesy, patience andcoooeration at all times and for your genuine interest in

the welfare of the schools that has made my work easier.

Very respectfully submitted,

FRED S. LIBBEY,

Superintendent of Schools.

180 CITV OF FRANKI.TN

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT.

IVIr. Fred S. Libbey, Superintendent of Schools:

The number of pupils enrolled in the school this fall was208, of which number 97 were boys and 111 girls. This

figure is nearly as large as it was the year before, being

only five smaller. The reason why these figures are so

nearly alike is because the last entering class is unusuallylarge. The present senior class is smaller than it was last

year and 53 pupils of those who were enrolled during the

])receding year \\ere not enrolled this fall. Of these

fifty-three, forty left during the year, and 13 did not re-

turn after the summer vacation.

Fifty-three, it will l)e ol)served, is almost exactly 25 per

cent of the total number, 213. Some facts with reference

to this percentage of pupils leaving are worth stating. All

of the boys, except those that left the city and went to school

elsewhere, found work, and 60 per cent of the girls foundemployment outside their homes. This is commonly ob-

served to be true, that when there is opportunity for work,puj^ils leave school in larger numbers than when business

does not ofifer employment.

An examination of the ranks of those who left school

shows that 80 per cent were poor in their studies, poor

meaning below passing in some study or in danger of it.

There is a double relation between failures and leaving

school to go to work. ( )ne relation is that when pupils are

not succeeding well they are likely to think of getting a

position. The other relation is that when there are op-

])ortunities for work pupils often lose interest in their

studies. They do not listen to the argiunent that they

will in the end earn more if they finish their course. Butstatistics have been gathered which show that graduatesof high schools succeed better, financially, than thosewho lea\e school earlier.

One other fact in connection with pupils' lca\ing school

is of interest: about half of all the pupils that left withoutgraduating were in the freshman class. This would in-

dicate that a very large part of those who left last year did

so because they did nt)t get adjusted to the high school in

the first year, and, accordingly, they went to work. More-

BOARD OP' KUlfCATlON 181

over, of all the reasons why freshnuMi fail to make an ad-justment easily, the most common is an inability to ^etwell the meaninj^- of somewhat difiicult reading- matter,and a corresponding diflicuty in expressing their thoughtsorally and in writing. In other words, the best prepara-tion that will tend to keep pupils in the high school is agood command of the English language in reading,silently' especially, and in speaking and writing thelanguage.

During the last six years a detailed study has been madeof the ranks of pupils and the facts have been indicated bygraphs. This has been done for the school as a whole andfor the different classes. The teachers have done this, in

many cases, for their own divisions. The graphs showat a glance whether the classes are well unified, or poorlygrouped ; they, also, indicate the number of failures, thehigh ranks, and the low ranks. The hope has been to

have not more than ten per cent of failures for the pui)ils

who finish the year; but, for an average, this aim has notbeen attained. In order to prevent failures, pupils are

helped after school, and for several years, arrangementshave been made to have the beginners in Latin and the

geometry pupils study their lessons in school hoursunder the direct supervision of the teacher. This hasworked well.

But there is need of more home stud}-. Too manypupils are willing merely to pass. Parents not infre-

quently ask me as to studying at home, and this seemsa good time to make suggestions. I find that someparents do not examine the report cards much. Thesecards are made out with care and tell a good deal aboutthe standing of the pupils. If parents find any D's andtoo few A's and B's on the cards. I would suggest that

they keep their children at home evenings and require

them to study until the work is improved. There are

always outside attractions, and if parents find that these

hurt the school work, the children should be kept awayfrom a certain amount of them. Such a method is usedin private schools, where pupils do not live at home,and parents can adopt the same method.

The number of srraduates in 1922 was 32. This is 48

182 CITY OF I-"R.\XKLIX

per cent of the nuinher who entered the school four years

before. This falhng otit in numbers is close to the averageof all the schools in the state. The percentage of grad-uates who go to other schools is high.

The number of regular teachers is ten, and of these six

are new to the school.

1 have dwelt U])()n these internal affairs of the school

partly because the conditions of a more external nature

remain much the same as they were at the time of the last

report. The building accommodations remain the same.The chemical laboratory is insufficient ; the arrangement of

the commercial rooms is unsatisfactory ; the pupils shouldhave a basement room where they can congregate. Themanual training equii)ment needs impro\ing in some parti-

culars and additions in others in order to l)ring the depart-

ment to the standard it ought to have.

Football was introduced this year. An otherwise suc-

cessful season was marred by the death of I'rank Massa,caused by an accident during a game. His death made a

l)rofound impression upon the school and the feelings of the

jnipils were expressed in various fitting ways. He wasa member of the Junior class, having entered only a short

time before the accident.

The Sanger Scholarship for Simmons College has again

been awarded to Miriam Downes. who is a senior. TheDuffy Scholarship was awarded to Joseph P>urleigh. Noone, at present, is making use of the Daniell Scholarship

for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Ruth.-Xdams Scholarshi]) for Mt. Holyoke College.

Respectfully sulnnittcd.

DOMESTIC ARTS.

Mr. Kred S. Libbey, Supc'rintciident of Schools:

I herewith submit my rtrst re])ort as instructor of

Domestic .Vrts in the l''ranklin schools.

The seventh and eighth grades each have two hours a

week For work in Domestic Arts—one hour for cookingand the other for sewing.

In sewing, both grades spent the entire Fall term in

making standard cooking aprons. This is too long a

time to spend on one project, but only one machine is in

condition to be used, and only one hour a week can begiven to the grades under present conditions.

In cooking, the first part of the term was spent in

canning such fruits as pears, apples and tomatoes. Theyalso made i)iccalilli. In addition, they have had practice

cooking in cereals, cjuick-breads, griddle cakes, soups,salads, puddings, cakes, cookies and pies.

The Freshmen girls have five dcnible periods a weekfor cooking and sewing. The first three days are usedfor practice in cooking, and the other two days for

sewing.

In the first part of the term, the girls canned tomatoes,

pears, plums, peaches, made jelly, conserves and chili

sauce. They have had in addition, practice cooking in

fruits, beverages, cereals, cfuick-breads, yeast breads,

souns, salads, cakes, pies, doughnuts and cookies. Atpresent w^e are making an extensive study of meats.

The girls have also prepared and served two luncheons.

In sewing, cooking aprons, caps, underwear andChristmas gifts have been made.

The Soohomore girls are taking a course in HouseholdAppliances. They have taken U]) the study of heat,

making actual investigations of heating i)lants about the

citv. They have also made a study of the plumbingsystems, both supply and drainage, taking trips to the

plumbers' for observation.

184 ClTV Ol-' I'kAXKLlN

The Junior girls are taking Household OrganizationThey have taken u]) the building of a house from the

building of the foundation to the interior and exterior

finish. Thev have also drawn to scale, original plans of

homes such as they would like to live in. At present

they are very interested in furnishing the various roomscorresponding to their house plans.

I have four Senior girls who are taking iiousehold

]\Ianagement. They have taken up the study of house-hold accounts and budgeting; the principles of efificient

l)uying, both of food and clothing, and a study of the

different textiles. At ijresent they are taking u\) the

scientific management of the home.

All the high school classes in Domestic Arts have par-

tici])ated in preparing and serving noon lunches to thosewho stay in the school at noon. Thus far. those luncheshave consisted of cocoa or corn chowder.

The ideal of all Home Economics courses is to raise

the standards of home-making l:)y providing certain ideals

of beauty and intelligent workiuanship. However, theseideals cannot be carried out ])roperly unless there is a

strong co-operation between the home and the school.

REPORT OF MUSIC TEACHER.

Superintendent iM-ed S. IJbbey:

—

Dear ySir: I submit, hcrcwilii. m\- t'lrst annual report,

also a sixth, after an absence of fwt^ years.

During this absence, four super\ isors have had chargeof the music, it has been my pleasure to know themall. I found them much interested in the work, but theydid not remain to establish any system. conse(|uently

the musif has suffered for lack of any definite method.

As i)lans for a building arc carefully laid with an eye

BOARD 01? EDUCATION 185

to a conii)lete structure, so music should be taught fromthe kindergarten on up through the grades, with the

cuhnination in a chorus in l^igh ySchool that will beworthy of the name, chorus.

It has been ni}- purpose the past term to get the pupils

to sing and some grades have responded much better

than o4liers. No time has been devoted to playing the

Victor. I am yet to be convinced that this is a wayto teach pupils to sing and read music. Along with the

singing as much sight singing has been taught as timehas allowed. Some of the younger children have takenhold of this reading work very well.

The average boy and girl who arrives in Junior HighSchool and Senior High School with little or no knowl-edge of sight reading and part singing, takes very little

interest in this branch of school work, and very little real

w^ork can be accomplished. The present Senior HighSchool is a splendid example of just this condition.

Either absolute indifference or inability to sing a bassor tenor part in the male section of the chorus, is the

condition of affairs which has existed for some time,

reports the head-master.

In these days when so much is said of efficiency, it

seems a great waste of a pupil's time, to sit during a

singing period not making a singing sound. I hope it

may be my privilege to see in a Senior High Schoolchorus, here, only pupils who can read music fairly welland really desire to be a part of a singing chorus andnot fill up a seat to escape a spelling class which is theoption.

The lunicir High School at the Nesmith building hasits singing lesson as a class. I hope this same thingmay work out in the Falls Junior High School. AVhen"the long looked for" new building becomes a reality,

which \v\\\ include an assembly hall, the Junior HighSchool choruses will have a "place to gather togethernow and then for practice with a piano, a thing that is

not possible now. This assembly hall would also givethe orchestra and glee club a much more ideal place to

practice than can be had at present.


Outside of school, a jj^irls' |:^lee club and orchestra meetonce a week, one nig;ht each, for practice. The glee club

will include those menil)ers of the Junior Higfh Schoolwho care to join the coming term. At present bothorganizations are alive and not much more can be said

of either.

Our music l:)ooks in the grades are in very bad shapebut this will be remedied early next term I am told.

In closing, may I express my appreciation to you.Mr. Libbey. for your kindl}' interest in the work and to

the teachers who have very carefully prepared lessonsfrom plans laid out.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MANUALTRAINING.

Mr. b'rcd S. ljbl>c\'. Sui)crintendcnt of Schools: DearSir :—

Tn submittinj^ my third annual rcjxtrt as Supervisor oi

Manual 'Praining. 1 will begin with a brief outline of workaccomplished in the past.

New classes conung in have been somewhat larger, over-

taxing in some instances the capacity of the dei)artmcnt

and retarding first (|ualily work and efficiency for a time.

Ilowc\er. the boys lia\c, for the most jiart, displayed a

keen interest and ha\e completed many diflicult and ser\

-

iceable ]irojccts.

'Phe Manual 'Praininj; l)ei)arlmcnl was, last June, en-

abled to make a distinctly creditable showing at the SchcK)l

Exhibit and the boys were justly proud to have the op-

pf)rtunity of exhibiting, to an interested public, samples of

their handiwork.

BOARD OF KDUCATION 187

The work of the Grammar School boys was satisfactorily

executed, but under their short time allowance of thirty-

six jieriiids a }ear. a sufficiently clear insig'ht into the

fundamentals of the work was scarcely obtainable. This

time handicap has now been removed and Junior High boys

have been enabled to accomplish much work hitherto not

undertaken in the Junior section.

Included in the following lists are many of the projects

completed by the High School boys: tables, plant stands,

taborets, a mission chair, fancy plate racks, pine chests,

piano seats, umbrella racks, mallets, candle-sticks, gavels

hammer handles, screw-driver handles, picture frames, foot-

stools, plant boxes, typewriter tables, necktie racks andbook cases for the Public Library.

The work shows a decided improvement over previous

effort in spite of the fact that our equipment is inadequate.

The work benches, having served many useful years, are

now, owing to length of service and light construction,

showing signs of wear and weakness. In addition, there

are not enough benches to take care of some classes and I

would recommend the installation of six fully equippedand up to date manual training benches. I would also

recommend the purchase of new vices, as the present

ones are practically worn out.

Three lathes are not in working condition because parts

are and have been missing for several years. The woodenfloor is not a sufficiently firm foundation for the lathes

and is a hindrance to good work.

The circular saw table is old and frail and the sawdangerous to operate, consequently, I would recommendthe ])urchase of a new and modern saw-table, and also a

new planer to replace our present old and extremely noisy

machine.

To sum uj). it might be said that the Manual TrainingDepartment contains equij)ment nearly worn out and it will

soon ])e a matter of necessity to install new replacements

throughout.

Resi)ect fully submitted,

JOHN W. WHALEN,Supervi-sor of Manual Trainitig.


REPORT OF INSTRUCTOR IN PENMANSHIP.

Mr. Fred S. Libbey, Superintendent of Schools:

—

In October, 1922, the Houston System of Penmanshipwas introduced into the Frankh'n Schools. This is a

system which has attained much prominence, becauseit seems to fill the needs of the present day schools. Its

aim is to secure legible, fluent writing by all pupils withthe greatest saving of time and efl"ort. By omitting the

oval exercises and the push and pull movement, a kind of

practice is obtained which can be used in all written work.

Letter forms and combinations of letters are substituted for

the exercises and the arm movement is obtained throughlarge writing. In this way every stroke, being upon a

a letter or word is of practical value to the pupil andresults are obtained with no wasted time.

This system has been adopted in many New Hampshireschools and is endorsed by leading educators of the state.

It embraces the most up-to-date methods of Penmanshipteaching.

Altht)Ugh the time has been short, we are getting results

in the Franklin schools. A gradual change is apparent in

the writing throughout the grades and it is hoped that byfollowing this system conscientiously and systematically

the writing of the ])upils may be raised to a high standarcl.

Much credit is due the teachers for their hearty cooperation.

Parents are cordially in\ited to \isit tiie Penmanshipclasses.

Respectfully sul)niitted,

HELEN P. WELCH.

SCIloLAKSHlI* FUNDS 207

FRANKLIN STUDENT AID FUND.

To the Mavor and Members of the City Council, Frank-

Hn. X. H.:

In June. 1*^21. I placed with Dartmouth College at

Hanover. X. H.. a fund of $2.500.00—the income from

which I wished to be used to as.sist under certain con-

ditions"*students at that institution who were residents oi

this city.

It was found incompatible with the methods of dis-

posing of the funds at Dartmouth College, to handle this

fund under the conditions which I wished to impose

—

and for that reason I have transferred this sum from

Dartmouth College to the City of Franklin.

I am attaching herewith the securities representing the

fund together with a statement of the methods I wish

followed in disposing of the income from the fund.

Respectfully yours,

WALTER F. DUFFY.

FRANKLIN STUDENT AID FUND.

Established by Walter F. Duffy, June, 192L

A sum of S2.500.00 is entrusted to the City of Franklin.

X. H., the income from which is to be used to assist

worthy boys and girls residents of this City to secure a

collegiate education or its equivalent.

The recipients of the income from this fund are to be

selected by a board of three consisting of the Chairmanof the Board of Education, Superuitendent of Schools

and Principal of the High School of the Citv of Franklin.

N. H.

The income from this fund is to be disposed of under

the followins: fixed conditions:

—

20S CITY oF FRANKLIN

I. Scholarship.

A student niiist attain such satisfactory standing in

studies as to make it apparent to the authorities of the

institution of learning- where he attends, that it is ad-visable that the student pursue his studies and. that he is

on this accoinit worthy of Ihiancial aid.

II, Financial Needs.

It is to be rec[uired that the students wIk; receive

benefit from this fund shall be obliged, through lack oi

family financial resources, to earn at least a substantial

part of the money necessary to meet the expenses of their

attendance upon their studies.

III. General Restrictions.

It is to be understood that in alloting the proceeds of

the fund, preference is to be given to students at Dart-mouth College, Hanover, N. H., who are residents of the

City of Franklin, N. II. If no such students apply for

the benefits of this fund, then the income can be used to

assist any 1)oys or girls who are residents of the City of

Franklin, N. H., and who are i)iu"suing a course of

studies in any institution of learning gixing a collegiate

education or its ecpu'valent, ]>ro\i(led that the lirst twoconditions covering the disposition of the benefits of this

fund are fulfilled.

It is ;ilso to ])e understood that the income from tins

fund may be (b'\ idcd between two or m(»re students, andthat any students who receive financial aid from the

institutions of learning where they attend are not thereby])re\entcd from rcceixing aid from this fund.

If n.i students fulfilling the aboxe re(|uirements applyfor the benefit of tiiis fund the proceeds may be used as

they accrue each year as seems best to the three personsmentioned abo\ c for the general educational good of thecitizens of h'ranklin, N. II.
