Annual Report
Of the Superintendent of Schools of Tioga
County for the Year 1909-10.
Dr. Nathan C. Shaeffer, Supt. Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pa.
My dear sirs:
The year just closed has been one of steady progress along all educational lines. A good healthy interest in our schools on part of school officers and patrons has been in evidence, and teachers and pupils have been faithful to their work. The attendance of pupils has been very satisfactory in most districts. Over 500 Certificates of Award have been given for perfect attendance.
During the year 17 educational meetings have been held, viz: the Annual County Institute, the County Directors’ Association, the County Teachers’ Association, and 14 local institutes. With few exceptions, the teachers were active at these meetings, which were well attended, and the interest in every instance was most excellent.
The instructors at the Annual Institute were Drs. C. C. Ellis, Byron King, Andrew Thomas Smith, O. T. McFarlane, Supt. Charles Lose and Prof. T. L. Gibson.
Those who addressed the Directors’ Association were David F. Fortney, Esq., Supt. Charles Lose, Prof. O. T. Gortner, Francis M. Sheffer and the County Superintendent. The work of both Teachers’ Association and local institutes was done almost entirely by our county teachers, and in every case the program was thoroughly arranged, and the teachers acquitted themselves most creditably. The institute at Blossburg especially was marked by a large attendance of teachers, and by the presence of several members of that Board. It was a most helpful meeting. These institutes have been in large measure an inspiration and help to our teachers.
An interesting memorial service for Prof. M. F. Cass, who died Nov. 17, 1908, constituted a part of the program of the Teachers’ Association, quite a large number of his friends taking part.
Prof. Cass was for several years a prominent teacher and educator of the county. Besides teaching in the rural schools, he held the principalship of Lawrenceville, Nelson and Elkland schools, respectively. For three terms he was superintendent of this county. All of these places he filled with great credit to himself and to the positions he occupied. He was an earnest, energetic, inspiring teacher, an excellent school officer, a faithful friend, and an exemplary citizen. For several years before he died he was a member of the clerical force of the Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg.
The coming year Charleston school district will test the practicability of centralization of schools in the hill districts of this county. A fine six-room building, complete in modern equipment, is in process of construction. The most model wagons, made especially for the purpose, will be used in the transportation of the children. The directors are making every effort to give the patrons an excellent, up-to-date high school, and to make the enterprise in every way a success. Several other districts have the establishment of high schools under construction.
During the year, I have visited 313 schools, examined 305 applicants for provisional certificates, attended 22 educational meetings, and attended to a large and increasing correspondence.
In conclusion, I thank all who have in any way contributed to the advancement of our educational interests, and especially acknowledge the many courtesies received from the Department of Public Instruction.
Very respectfully,
W. R. Longstreet,
County Superintendent.

A TEACHER’S CREED
I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great to-morrow;
that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap. I believe in the curse
of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, in the dignity of teaching, and
the joy of serving another. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives
as well as in the pages of a printed book; in lessons taught not so much
by precept as by example; in ability to work with the hands as well as
to think with the head; in everything that makes life large and lovely.
I believe in beauty in the school-room, in the home, in daily life and
out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in all ideals and distant
hopes that lure us on. I believe that every hour of every day we receive
a just reward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and
its opportunities, in the future and its premises, and in the divine joy
of living; Amen.--Edwin Osgood Grover.
