85 <br /> Report of the Superintendent of Schools <br /> To the School Committee and <br /> Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br /> This is my first official report as your Superintendent <br /> of Schools. To save space, I have condensed the Principal's <br /> report with mine, as it stands to reason that our reports <br /> cover many of the same items. <br /> The Mashpee School Program is unique in many ways. <br /> The present enrollment of the Samuel G. Davis School is 56. <br /> This figure is consderably less than three years ago when the <br /> enrollment was 77. Our present high school enrollment is <br /> 22. Three years ago it was 23. These figures indicate that <br /> the Davis School is well able to handle your present ele- <br /> mentary enrollment for some years to come. The town is <br /> indeed fortunate in being able to send its high school students <br /> to Falmouth. The fine building facilities and the broad curric- <br /> ulum make it passible to take care of the interests and the <br /> needs of all students. <br /> Over twenty per cent of our school population is enrolled <br /> in high school, and these students are doing commendable <br /> work. I am sure this continued desire on their part to con- <br /> tinue their high school education can be credited to the <br /> Parents for their foresight in encouraging and providing them <br /> with this opportunity. I am sure they realize that in this <br /> complex world any education less than that of high school <br /> level is inadequate to meet the problems of modern living. <br /> I believe secondly this interest is due to a devoted, interested <br /> and stable teaching staff in the lower grades who have led <br /> and prepared them for this higher step of learning. Last, <br />
