SUPERINTENDENT'S
REPORT
To
the SchoolBoard
and Citizens of Bartlett:The
school board and superintendent feel thatwe
were fortunate in securing the services of Mr.Lome
B.Hulsman
as headmaster of our high school. There has been amarked
improvement in attendance, interest andin school morale which is very gratifying.
The
addition of the third teacher has been justified and the enrichmentof the course of study especially in its offering in science
has increased the interest of pui)ils in the school.
We
have received as gifts from ^Ir. C. I.Nash
andthe dissolved Livermore school district an excellent i)iano, a large school library and the joint use with other schools of a motion picture machine and of a ]H)st card ju'ojector.
These gifts are thoroughly appreciated.
On
another page the school board presents itshas been carefully
made
on the ba^is of experience and isas exact an estimate as one can
make
for a school yearthat ends June 30, 1937.
The
only item that reriuires exi)lanation is the expensefor transportation. This
amount
based on this year's ex-perience totals $2195.00.As
our conveyances serve bothhigh school and elementaiy pupils, the division of the expense between high and elementary schools has to be determined
more
or less arbitrarily.We
have in our])roposed budget chai'ged $1350 as elementary and $845 as
high school expense.
We
do notknow
whether or not in the distribution of state aidwe
shall be allowed asmuch
as $1350 in our approved budget, but as a matter of raisingmoney
in school meeting itmakes
no difference.Any
difference between the allowance of the state board onthis item and $845 raised for high school transportation,
would need to be added to the
amount
raised for high school transportation.The amovmt
to l)e raised under article six asrecom-mended
by the school board is $14,651.00. Exjiense ofhigh school transportation, alterations and major repairs,
insurance and large items of
new
equipmentmust
beraised under the appropriate articles of the school
meet-ing warrant.
I wish to exju'ess
my
thanks to the scliool officials,teachers, parents and citizens
who
haveshown
a fine sj^iritof cooperation.
