REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
FRIENDS OF EDUCATION,-
The annual School Report is valuable as it shows the exact condition of the schools; for, taking that report as a basis, we may amend what is objectionable in them, or be encouraged to persevere in the way which experience pronounces fruitful in good results to the cause of learning.
Congratulating ourselves that we have found a way,-if not the best, yet by the sure test of practice seen to be good,-your Committee have no radical changes to advocate before the town, if we except one already brought to your notice-"the abolition of the School District system." Further on in our report, we hope to be able to do what we have failed to accomplish heretofore-to convince you that the best interest of the town require that the new and approved system of graded schools should take the place of the one now in use.
With this single exception, we are too well satisfied with the condition and results of the town schools to complain of them, or to ask you to amend your treat-
14
ment of the dear interests of education. It is more in our hearts to exhort you "to persevere in your way of well doing." It was certainly a great stride which we took in the right direction, when we voted, in addition to the five common schools, the High School. All the more meritorious, when not required by law, it was established because wisely seen to answer to the necessities of our advanced scholars. Nor does it benefit them alone. The scholars of the common schools now have an object of emulation never known to them before. It is, admission into the High School when qualified to do so. That this will afford a healthy stimulation in their studies there can be no reasonable doubt. Examples of this kind have come under the Committee's own observation, and met their approval, as we trust it will yours.
In our report of the different schools,-beginning with the HIGH, -from much careful examination of it, from time to time, we feel justified in saying, that it is true to its name, and is in no sense an additional district school, foisted at great expense on the town. It has enjoyed, during the first year of its existence, a high degree of prosperity, and met the reasonable expectations of its friends and the public. From the crude and confused condition of affairs incident to the opening of the school, the gathering together of scholars of various grades and attainments, with all the uncertainty of an untried experiment, and not a little honest opposition attending each step, the school appeared, at its recent examination, with all the grati- fying characteristics of a long established institution. There was a development of order and system in pro-
15
)
gress that promise largely for the benefit of those who may enjoy its advantage's in the future. True, it consisted of picked scholars-the best, but by no means all the best, in the common schools.
The primary examinations for admission proved a delicate and difficult task to your Committee. Some scholars living in the distant wards, whom the Com- mittee would have been glad to see present as candi- dates for admission, because of their excellent quali- fications, did not present themselves. Others did, whom we should have been glad to see yet longer in the lower schools. Some of these were approbated conditionally, in order to make up the requisite num- ber and relieve the CENTRE and FRANKLIN of their surplus.
For the most part, we have had no occasion to regret admitting those we did. The studiousness and general deportment of the pupils of the High School comported well with their new surroundings. They were given to understand, at the first, that self-gov- ernment was expected of them, and that their per- sonal demeanor should be graded to their advanced station. Some exceptions to these were noted, out- side of the school-room and not in school-hours, but few or none while the school was in session.
It was an orderly school to a marked degree. Equally marked for the mental characteristics of its scholars. In intelligence and good appearance it compared favorably with any school of its grade which has fallen under our observation. Teacher and scholars contributed to this state of things. Yet, we feel ourselves especially fortunate in the selection
16
of teacher. With less accomplishments and less ex- perience than we happily find united in the prin- cipal, MISS CHAPMAN, the result might have been far less gratifying.
Now fairly established,-with an excellent school- room at such moderate cost,-the bulk of the ex- pense being already shouldered, we hope that it may be cherished as one of our most valuable institutions for the time to come. Its establishment will be re- garded in the future, if not now, as an era that marked a true "revival of learning" in our town. Not without adding to the indebteness of the town, yet money well invested as the increase shows.
The CENTRE SCHOOL has gone prosperously through the year under the superintendence of its well-tried and successful teacher, MISS EATON. We were not without apprehension, though largely mingled with hope, that this quiet, undemonstrative teacher, coming as she did from the small and orderly school in her native district, might not prove adequate to her new and more arduous position. But the event has proved that our hope was truer than our fears. She has been tried, like all her predecessors, and not found wanting. The scholars showed well at their several examinations. The firm discipline of the teacher, nót always administered without the use of the rod, to which the Committee recommended her, improved the appearance of the school; and this village school cannot, in our judgment, be governed by a female without some form of coercion, -and her effective way of teaching told well on the general scholarship. Some
17
hard cases of truancy, -- one boy being scored twenty- nine times for that offence,-but then we have no truant officers, as the law demands and as the best interests of our well-behaved children require, no less than the offenders. There is a powerful charm, when once under its influence, of "playing hookie," and when once a scholar is led away by it, others are likely to follow. Besides this vice of truancy, we have not less than twenty children of school age, who, through their own hostility to going to school or the apathy of their parents, enjoy none of the advantages of a public education. With our two hundred or so scholars, twenty is too large a percentage to grow up in ignorance and idleness, to become ere long, here or at some other place, the "dangerous or the pauper element of our civilization." It is sad to contemplate the possible fate of any child in our neighborhoods to be the prison or the poorhouse, through the want of suitable training for a prosperous and virtuous life. It behooves us "to apply the ounce of prevention" now, before the time when "the pound of cure" will prove necessary and perhaps ineffective.
MISS WHITTRIDGE has labored with a good degree of success during the school year in the FRANKLIN. Some interruption from sickness has occurred, but the school is prosperous nevertheless, and sustains, in the new generation of scholars, its old talent and prestige. We cannot, however, judge of this school as accurately as we would, as it is still in session and has not been tested by the final examination. That this, or the Centre School, should rate as high in talent and scholarship after the materials of the High School
.

€
were principally subtracted from them, it would not be just for us to expect or require at the present time. For all this, both schools have been benefitted by the transfer of a portion of their pupils. The younger and less advanced, who remain, enjoy more of the attention of their teachers than was possible before, while the older and more advanced are placed where canpursue the higher studies suited to them.
The summer term of the WEST POINT SCHOOL had a narrow escape of being a high success. The mental and acquired abilities of MISS PIERSON, were promising as the best, on examination, and on our first visit to the school, the promise of success seemed certain. Dealing faithfully and impartially with all parties- the teachers, the scholars and parents, - we must de- cide that so far as the teacher is concerned her inex- perience in her chosen vocation was the occasion, not the cause, of the school closing at the vacation. She made good use of her normal training, and was justly ambitious to push her correct theories of school training to the most satisfactory results. To this end, she required a speed and accuracy in recitations to which it seemed the pupils were not accustomed, nor altogether qualified. Your Committee cautioned the teacher not to "strain the bow" too tightly at the beginning, but she independently pursued her chosen path, which, under more fortunate circumstances, would have led her and her pupils to literary emi- nence. The result, however, was, the scholars ap- peared, first, discouraged, and secondly, disaffected. This disaffection naturally spread to the parents. An
C
19
)
innocent instrument of discipline, no larger than a lady's riding whip, was magnified outside into a bar- barous " rawhide," and complicated the difficulty. A " rock-maple ferrule," that would leave the hands in blisters, and, in an exigency, break the back of a refractory pupil, would have created no remark what- ever, for that is a time-honored instrument - the pedagogue's sceptre, his baton of office, and cudgel of discipline, of which we elders all have tasted, and what was good for us, we judge good to be used on our children,-and not an "odious cowskin," though of a straw's weight in cruel effectiveness to the "big ruler," marking the copy-books and the boys' backs in parallel lines, " to be seen and read of all men." Miss P. received of your Committee " clean papers," which unqualifiedly certified to her good character and com- petence to teach wherever her services may be require- ed, no less than our good will that she may succeed notwithstanding her first disappointment in her time- honored profession.
After this untoward summer experience, it was won- derful to your Committee to behold with what elastici- ty the school rebounded from its depressed fortunes under the tuition of its former teacher, MISS JENKINS. Such perfect adaptation of person to the circumstances of teacher and pupils to each other, we have never seen save in this school. The same rapid proficiency as in by-gone days when she so happily presided over the educaion of the youth of West Village. The school was short, for Miss J. was paid ten dollars a week and she earned it, while the results seemed like the ac- cumulated labors of a whole year. The examination
20
gave us new faith in teachers and scholars, and in our educational system generally. Never has the school- room been so full of scholars, so quiet and orderly, and the school machinery worked so noiselessly and effec- tively. It is the choice of this teacher that she is in a rural school rather than a metropolitan.
" Going round with the sun," as sailors say, we next introduce the friends of popular education to the school on North Street. Here MIss EVANS of Wake- field effectively presided in both summer and winter terms. With a small but select company of pupils, some small and others "a head taller" than herself, she carved out a royal road to learning while making herself a general favorite. It is apprehended by the "knowing ones" in that quarter, "that if the district system is abolished so that the Superintending Com- mittee be empowered to contract with the teachers, that Miss E. will be taken from them down into the Centre !" No, gentlemen ; we are "willing to divide the good things" with you. Our patriotism is broad and not sectional. We have equal regard for the circumference with the centre.
We have tried our hand in managing the affairs of the High School with no help from Ward meetings or Prudential Committees, and have " made a clean job of it." You can still indicate your preferences as to teach- ers, taking care of school house, "board" and "wood," and have your preferences respected. It is something in favor of abrogating the district system that the Legislature has deemed it of such importance as to ap- ply a "mild correction" to recusant towns by witholding after a certain period a portion of their school money.
21
That period is now come. Let the "m oncy argument" prove effectual if ours does not. Let us not be the losers by holding obstinately to a system well enough once, but now effete and in opposition to progress. In the new blanks sent us to fill out and return to the Board of Education at the State House, we are re- quired to give answer to a question equivalent to this. " Is the school district system abolished?" To this we hope to give the affirmative answer. That, however, depends on the action of the citizens in this town meeting assembled. It is not that the Committee crave more work, responsibility or authority. “The power will still be vested in the people;" while by the new plan we are confident the general good will be promoted.
The last school to be noticed is that located on ELM STREET. The scholars in this quarter were necessarily debarred the benefits of the summer term, by the building of the new school house to take the place of the one destroyed by fire. A beautiful and commodi- ous edifice was at length finished, and the school began late in season under favorable auspices, MISS SLOCUM, of Wakefield, being chosen teacher. She soon resign- ed from sickness, and MISS GEORGE, from the same town, was secured in her place; and the school is still in operation. We are much pleased with the evident ability of the teacher and the application af the schol- ars. The patrons of learning in the East Ward, are justly commended for their sacrifices and devotion in providing this new school-house, which is an orna- ment to the street, and with no untoward accident must last for its useful purpose for generations to come.

We have deemed it necessary to change during the year the entire Arithmetical Series in our schools, for new and improved books, which act we trust will meet with your approbation. We have been asked by the scholars, " at what time the FLINT MEDAL will be ready for distribution to the meretorious in our schools," but having no information on the subject our- selves we refer enquirers to the Executor of the Flint Estate. It is not our place to question the wisdom of the doner of this medal; much less speak disparaging- ly of his benevolence for the schools of his town; but if any honorable arrangement could be made by which the money he left the schools for medals might be transferred into a permanent SCHOOL FUND, to be known by his name, in our judgment a greater good would be accomplished.
In the mean time, fellow workers in a great cause, let us not relax our efforts to forward nor lose our faith in our system of EDUCATION FOR ALL. In this as in nobler, spiritual attainments, results are slow in blossoming, and "in your patience possess ye your souls. "
" In Eastern climes, so modern travellers say, The porcelain cup is molded from the clay By a year's labor. Here, one is made each day. Princes seek the first, the second throw away. Ye plodding ones, ye slow of hand and mind, Be thankful for the lesson, patient and resigned !"
