REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
⑈
TOWN OF FAIRHAVEN,
For the Year 1872-3.
00:0-100
NEW BEDFORD : E. ANTHONY & SONS, PRINTERS. 1873.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The questions which are yearly and almost daily asked by the community concerning the public schools, and which the school committee is expected to answer, are, What is the condition of these schools ; are they making satisfactory advancement, and is their condition better than last year, or in preceding years? If in replying to these questions we are compelled to say the schools do not exhibit any very marked improvement, and have not made great advances over previous years, we would not imply that there is blame lying at the door of delinquents some- where. This is not necessarily so, and the explanation is not difficult. We have about the same school-room ac- commodations, the same appliances for conducting the schools, and in many of them the same teachers who have been employed in them for a number of years ; and with the average capacity of the children coming in them not much above nor much below that of their predecessors, we cannot expect much else than average results, and we have not much else to report. But if we have not moved the standard of excellence very far in advance of its posi- tion in previous years, we have done what we could to prevent any retrogression.
The educational system of the state is the product of a prolonged and slow growth ; its foundations were laid far back in the early colonial times ; its architects built with great labor, patience, and infinite skill, and the structure was only brought to its present state of completeness by the reorganizing hand of Horace Mann. The methods of teaching grew up with the system, and the system doubt-
4
less is in part an outgrowth of the methods of teaching. Perhaps the very force set in motion by the machinery of the present school system may find its limit, and a point be reached verging upon immobility, where further advance is not so much to be looked for as the holding on with a steady and firm grasp to what has already been attained. If there be such a point, we do not think a very near ap- proach to it has been made in our schools, and the goal of perfectibility, still far removed, remains the aim of our best efforts.
We are glad to say we believe some efforts not wholly unsuccessful have been made in the right direction, and they have been made by the teachers. We should omit the pleasantest part of our duty in making our annual report, if we failed to speak in terms of praise of the patient labor, the conscientious, self-denying devotion to duty of our teachers. All, indeed, have not been equally efficient and earnest, nor worked with the same success ; but we may say nearly all have done well, and whatever good results we have to record are the fruits of their labors.
Omitting deserved mention of other studies, we wish particularly to allude to the subject of Mental Arithmetic, which has received more general attention for the past year or two than formerly. In some of the schools the proficiency shown by the pupils has been surprising. Problems the most intricate, involving not only exercises in the simple rules of arithmetic, but complicated opera- tions in fractions and analysis, are wrought out with per- fect accuracy, and the rapidity with which the operation is performed showing such familiarity and mastery of the process, that it seems done almost without conscious effort on the part of the pupil. It seems not to be the result of laborious and distinct efforts of the memory and intellect, but to be little less than automatic. The effect upon the
5
unfamiliar listener is puzzling, if not bewildering. The operation may not inaptly be compared to the rapid and unconscious movement of the fingers of the skilled musi- cian over the keys of the pianoforte, producing little else than a confused and unintelligible noise to the untaught listener, but yielding music of sweetest harmony to the cultivated ear. The purely intellectual management of arithmetical questions so intricate and perplexing, can only result from patient labor and prolonged practice on the part of the pupil, aided by the perseverance and skill of the instructor. But the result, setting aside the value as a means of mental discipline, is not dearly bought, for the acquirement cannot fail to be of inestimable worth in the practical affairs of life. The knowledge of a process so thoroughly built up in the memory becomes scarcely less than a part of the memory itself, and will be lost only with a failure of that faculty. Such ready reckoners are sought for by the merchant, the banker, and the business man, and the acquisition is such as will go far towards fitting them to become business men themselves.
The chief necessary requisites for good schools are, - capable and efficient superintendents, well qualified and faithful teachers, punctual and regular attendance of pu- pils, commodious and attractive school-rooms, well warmed in winter, well lighted and well ventilated at all seasons, supplied with maps and globes, and whatever apparatus is needed for the illustration of subjects taught in the school. To meet these requisites all classes have something to do. While the main duties belong to the school authorities, parents must cooperate by requiring prompt and regular attendance of children, and the citizens by supplying proper school-houses and furniture.
Here we desire to ask attention to the repairs needed in and about some of the school-houses. The High school-house requires painting. The house at the corner
6
of Rotch and Spring streets needs roof repaired, to be painted, fences and buildings adjoining to be whitewashed or painted, and the wall on Rotch street to be rebuilt or removed, and the wooden fence to be continued to Spring street. The Grammar school on Centre street ought to be reseated. The new school-house in New Boston should be completed by being painted and furnished with blinds. The school-house in Naskatucket (No. 5) is not worth the expense of repairs ; it is too small for the accommodation of the scholars attending school there; the lot on which it stands has not a margin beyond the walls of the house of six feet, and the building is in such a dilapidated con- dition that better judges than we are pronounce it a use- less waste to attempt to put it in order. We hope when the subject comes before the town meeting the case will be considered on its merits, and we do not doubt a vote for a lot and a new school-house will be given.
We wish also to refer to the anomalous case of the Pease school, - a school for the public, sustained in great part by private munificence. Ever since the legatees be- came possessed of the fund donated by Mr. Pease for the benefit of this school, the school committee have annually appropriated about one hundred dollars, which, with the income of the endowment fund, gives to the school about $450 per year, -a much larger sum than any other school in town of like character receives; a sum sufficient to maintain a good school of Grammar school grade nine or ten months in the year. To many of the inhabitants of that neighborhood or district this has not been satisfactory, and we have thought it advisable to insert here a copy of the item in the will of the late Mr. Pease, in which he gives $5000 for the school in the Pease school-house. .
ITEM. - After the decease of my said wife, or when she ceases to be my widow, I give to my said executors during their lives or the life of the survivors, and after their decease (or should they decline
7
the trust) to the selectmen of said Fairhaven, in trust, and to their successors in office forever, five thousand dollars, the income of which to be appropriated for the purpose of supporting a school in school district No. 19, in said Fairhaven, called the Pease district; this sum is in addition to a lot of land and school-house thereon, which I have already given said district.
It will be observed that the selectmen are the guardians of this fund; they are required to maintain a school in the Pease school-house ; the income of the fund can never be diverted to any other purpose, nor in case the select- men fail to use the money as directed could any legal heirs make claim to it. And without doubt, should the select- men fail to maintain the school themselves or through their agents, upon application to the proper court an order would be issued compelling them to fulfil their trust. Here is a school-house of ample dimensions to accommo- date a school of forty children ; money enough, with the usual appropriation from the town, to furnish a good teacher for the school. We believe it would be better for all concerned that the children naturally belonging to that school, who are now scattered among other schools, to be returned there, and a thoroughly competent teacher kept in charge. A fund designed for so beneficent a purpose should not be wasted on a score or so of children, while others who might share its benefits occupy seats in schools already overcrowded, where the room and attention of the teacher more properly belongs to others. There exists no occasion for annual district meetings, or for the appointment of committees of inquiry as to the rights of the district or other parties. The matter is placed exclu- sively in the hands of the selectmen forever.
The appropriations and expenditures for the year will be seen by reference to the following tables.
