REPORT ON SCHOOL HOUSE.
IN accordance with the vote of the town, passed at the last April meeting, asking for information as to the condi- tion of the School House at Wellingsley, the School Com- mittee beg leave to make the following report :
The Committee have personally examined the building, and find it to be very much out of repair. For some years past very little has been done for the house, beyond what was absolutely necessary, under the conviction, on the part of the Superintendent of Schools, that the Town would soon find it necessary to erect a new building. Owing to the want of paint, the position and size of the windows, and the bad proportions generally, the outside appearance of the house is very unattractive. Nothing can be said in favor of the location. The house fronts immediately on the street, and the surface of the ground in the rear is so steep that the sand washes down against the sill, and, if not frequently removed, must rot the lower part of the building. There is no suitable play-ground for the chil- dren, the land having been used for that purpose being private property ; indeed, two-thirds of the ground on
4
which the school-house stands is claimed by the same owner, though the Town can, doubtless, hold it by length of undisputed possession. All the ground, however, around the school-house is very unsuitable for the various uses of the school; and the children, at recess, are gen- erally seen in the road.
The inside of the house is less attractive than the out- side. The floors in both the school-rooms are worn out. The furniture is old and very inconvenient. The windows are too high above the floor ; the room on the first floor is too low in the walls. There are four rooms in the build- ing, two used as school-rooms and the other two as wood- rooms. All these, together with the entry and stairway, need paint ; indeed, the greater part of the work has never been painted at all. The roof, also, needs considerable repairs. The frame of the house is undoubtedly good, so far as it can be inspected ; and there is abundance of room for twice the present number of scholars, eighteen in the Primary, and twenty-eight in the Intermediate department : but it is a question which the Town will be the best able to decide, whether it would be wise to expend some eight hundred dollars to put such a building in repair.
If the Town should decide to have a new building erect- ed, the Committee are of opinion that the most suitable site for it will be found about fifty yards from the present school-house, at the point where the Obery road unites with the main road. This lot is well situated, some five or
-
5
six feet above the level of the road, affords plenty of room, is always dry, easily graded, and will cost nothing, as it has lain common for many years. If a new house should be decided on, it seems to the Committee that it ought not to contain two large rooms for separate schools, as is the case in the old house, but that it should have one large room sufficient to receive both schools, to be placed in the charge of one accomplished teacher, with an assistant to teach the smaller children. With this arrangement, the building would cost less, a higher salary could be paid to thie principal, and the services of an assistant could be procured for somewhat less than is now paid for primary instruction. It is thought that this would elevate the character of the school, and render it practicable to retain the scholars of the district one year longer near home, instead of sending them, as now, at too tender an age, to the Grammar School on the Green ; which is earnestly desired by the people of this neighborhood, who take an unusually deep interest in the education of their children.
The cost of a school-house built according to the plan suggested, if the matter were properly managed, would come within twenty-five hundred dollars. It cannot be determined exactly what the old house could be sold for ; the amount is variously estimated, by different persons. ranging from two hundred to five hundred dollars.
The inhabitants of Wellingsley have urged the consid- eration of this matter on the School Committee, for sev- eral years, but the Committee, knowing how many de-
6
mands are made upon the Treasury of the Town which cannot be complied with, have refrained from doing more than stating the facts of the case in the Superintendent's reports. They still desire to abstain from pressing the question, presenting only this statement of facts.
All which is respectfully submitted,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF PLYMOUTH :
IN conformity with your requirements, I respectfully submit the following annual report :
In former reports, I have frequently alluded to the necessity of making larger repairs in the school build- ings of the Town than the usual appropriation would justify ; but by a vote of the Town at the last annual meeting, an additional sum of one thousand dollars was placed to the credit of the School Department, for the purpose of placing certain school-houses in a condition more creditable to the Town, and more convenient and attractive to those who use them. This money has been carefully expended in making the following im- provements :
The improvements of Primary No. 1, the school of which is taught by Mrs. Austin, were commenced the year before, and during the past year, have been com- pleted. The house has been painted with two coats of the best paint, inside and outside, and is now, in all re- spects, what a Primary school-house ought to be. The
8
building was always considered a good one, but it was unfortunately situated until its removal to its present location.
The Oak Grove Primary school-house has been re- shingled, thoroughly painted, and otherwise improved.
The two Primary school-rooms in Doten's Lane need- ed new floors. The old soft pine floors, entirely worn out, have been removed, and hard wood substituted. The inside of these rooms has been well painted, and new stoves and piping furnished. These were repairs very much needed.
Three rooms in the Russell Street Grammar school- house, and all the black-boards, have been painted, and new furniture supplied. This house presents now & satisfactory appearance, and is in complete working order.
The Second Grade rooms in the High School building have been supplied with new furniture and new hard wood floors. This work was partly done last year, but the expense of the furniture will come into the expen- ditures of the present year. This new furniture was im- peratively demanded, as the scholars in these two schools have been cramped into seats that were too small for them. All the rooms in this building are now furnished with modern desks and chairs; but there are still three floors that are worn out and ought to be attended to soon. The north side of the roof, also, will have to be re-shingled immediately.
9
The Cold Spring school-house has been painted out- side and inside, the ante-room newly floored and win- dows placed in front.
The North Grammar school-house has been painted on the outside.
The Chiltonville Grammar school-house and out-houses have been painted, and a new cistern made and fixtures supplied to furnish the school with water. Hitherto, the water has been brought by the scholars from a considera- ble distance.
The Russell Mills school-house has been painted, and is now in excellent condition.
The Primary school-house near the Meeting-house, at Manomet Ponds, has been repaired and painted, and the Grammar school house painted inside.
All the valuable School-buildings of the Town are now well protected by paint from the action of the weath- er, and quite well furnished within. It has given me great pleasure to be able to make these improvements, because I think convenience and elegance are as much needed in our school-houses, as in our private dwellings accomplishing precisely the same objects, the comfort and refinement of the human beings within.
10
TEACHERS.
In order that the children of the Town should be properly educated, much more than comfortable and at- tractive buildings, are skilful teachers needed. I am always able to say that our teachers have all done hon- est work, according to the best of their ability, and some have attained distinguished success; but to say all had done skilful work and accomplished the best results, would not be true. Nor is this to be wondered at, or complained of, for the best talent must be attracted to - those towns that are able and willing to pay for it. All vacancies in our Primary and District schools must now, as in years past, be filled by young girls who have just graduated from the Grammar or High School, with- out any ability to perform satisfactorily the most rudi- mentary labor of the school-room. They must rely on their instincts, and those whose natural endowments are suited to their work eventually succeed, the others fail outright or continue to perform their duties without sat- isfactory results ; and it is very sad to think that the minds of our children must suffer, in order that young teachers, without any special training, may get the first experience and knowledge of their art. The services of young teachers, of good scholarship, graduates of some Normal School, and having the experience of two years in teaching, with a reputation won by actual success
11
cannot be obtained, usually, for less than four hundred dollars a year. There are only four ladies in the schools of this Town who receive as much as this; but if we could pay this salary to all the teachers of the lower grade schools, and the teachers procured that such a salary would bring, our schools could be transformed immediately, and results obtained which we never see now. The general increase in the salaries of teachers, and fixing the length of the school year at ten months for all the schools, will accomplish a great deal towards obtaining experienced and skilful teachers; but still it must be remembered that teachers of our schools of the lowest grades receive little more than is necessary to pay for respectable boarding, and that in a monetary point of view, they are not as well off as those who go into domestic service.
DRAWING.
I believe it would be a great public benefit, if some arrangement could be made by which this delightful and universally useful study could be introduced into our public schools. Our advancement in the industrial arts is so dependent on the general diffusion of skill in the various kinds of drawing, that it is wonderful that a gen- eral interest in it is yet to be created. In all coun- tries distinguished for mechanical skill and varied man- ufactures, the arts of design are in the highest state of advancement. As manufactures are the life of
12
our State, there is no part of the country where skill of eye and hand is more needed, or where it would be better rewarded. On leaving our High School, I observe that almost all boys find some difficulty in get- ting employment that suits them. They are unwilling to devote themselves to the lower forms of mechanical labor, and as their education has not especially fitted them for the higher, there seems to be nothing left but to cast themselves into the whirlpool of trade, as soon as an opportunity offers. If drawing were an establish- ed part of our course of public instruction, opportuni- ties would be given for the developement of talents which are now concealed, and which, if discovered, would indicate the way the possessor should take to arrive at fortune. The art is equally advantageous to girls and boys. The possession of skill in delineation would open many possibilities of employment to women which, without this skill, are not within their reach. To give the art of drawing that attention which the interest of the State demands, it will doubtless soon be rendered obligatory, either by law or custom, on all the towns of the Commonwealth, to make this art a part of the instruction given in public schools. In order to do this, instruction must first be given in all the Normal Schools, and from there it will be carried into every primary school in the State.
13
EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations have been conducted in the usual mannor, with the exception of a slight change in the method of making out the average for admission to the High School. £ It has been our custom to unite the number which each applicant had obtained in the Gram- mar School during the year with the number obtained at the examination, and divide the sum by two, and if this average reached sixty per cent. the scholar was admitted. At the last examination, however, the appli- cants were admitted on the merits of their examination alone. The consequence was an increase in the number of failures, which amounted to more than one-fourth of those seeking admission.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The character of our High School is, of course, a matter of general solicitude to the people of the Town. During the last year, more than an ordinary anxiety has been felt on account of the numerous changes which have occurred in the Principalship. The present incum- bent makes the fourth Principal of the High School in the past year. It is not to be doubted that these nu- merous changes, not confined to the last year, but ex- tended through a series of years, have seriously con- promised the scholarship of the school; for every new
PLYMOUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY
14
teacher must have new methods, and every new method must have its season of unpopularity and opposition, so that before any organization could get fairly to work, another had to take its place. Every effort has been made to avoid these ruinous changes, but without suc- cess. The trouble has been that we were not able to pay as high salaries to our teachers as others were willing to give ; and the highest bidders have always taken them. During the past ten years, every Principal of the High School, except one, doubled his salary by leaving us. This process must continue until we are able to pay the market price for the labor we want. So much difficul- ty was experienced in procuring a suitable teacher when Mr. G. W. Minns left us, that it was decided by the School Committee to unite the office of Superintendent with that of Principal of the High School, which ar- rangement has continued for some four months, with what success, it is left for those interested in the School to determine.
