Teacher Examinations
The Montpelier Examiner, November 21, 1913
The Public schools closed on Wednesday until next Monday on
account of Thanksgiving. Seven teachers went to Paris yesterday morning to
take examinations which began there yesterday and will continue until tomorrow
afternoon.
Misses Metcalf and Roof and Mr. Wood are required to take the full examination, while Mrs. Foster and Misses Rue McCrum will be required to take examinations on three subjects only.
Superintendent reports that work in the schools is progressing nicely, considering the crowded conditions of some of the grades. In the First primary in the Lincoln building there are 55 little ones enrolled and nearly everyone of them is there everyday. This is a greater number of pupils than any teacher can handle successfully and the board is considering firing an assistant teacher in this grade. In two or three of the other grades, the enrollment is now close to the 50 mark, which is making the work for the teachers very hard. The enrollment in the high school is now 80, which is the largest it has ever been. And total enrollment in the three buildings is 640.
