REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1860-61.
The prosperity of our public schools is so intimately connected with the prosperity of all the other institutions affecting society, that it invests them at once with a degree of importance seldom if ever over-estimated. Our schools should be viewed and re- garded by all, fairly and without prejudice, both as to what they are doing, and what they are expected to accomplish. In submitting, therefore, a detailed report of the condition and progress made in our schools for the year now closed, your Committee are aware of their inability to meet the difficulties which attach to such a subject, and at the same time to meet the variously conflicting opinions held by the people who are directly affected, and therefore in some way interested in whatever re- lates to our system of public school education. But however regarded, in whatever light viewed, the subject is one of vital importance to the entire community, whether we consider its relation to property and taxation simply, or to its extended use- fulness in affording protection and general security to all the great interests that pertain to men and society. Intelligence always commands respect, and is absolutely necessary for the common safety. Therefore if we as citizens having a common interest in a common safety are wise, we shall be willing to look well to the educational power and influence of our public schools, for from them are yearly coming forth those who must take their places on the active stage of life, whose influence is and must be felt in the public councils, and seen in the general enterprise
10
and thrift of the day, as surrounding circumstances and con- trolling influences shall determine. Such then being the fact, and the inevitable result, can we be indifferent. or unmindful of the course which should be taken and pursned in reference to our obligations in this matter, either as individuals or as mem- bers of the community ? It is quite true that there are very re- spectable and worthy persons among us who appear to feel well satisfied with the present condition and advantages which our schools afford, as though they were amply sufficient for all the practical demands of the age ; while there are others apparently equally worthy who regard them as doing much good, and as public institutions for the education of the young, worthy of support and general respect, but still sadly lacking in that most essential point - the proper drill and exercise of the mind, which is necessary for growth and strength. Now these differ- ing opinions will very likely lead to a more careful inspection, for indeed it is an important point, and indicates the necessity. of a careful examination, without personal feeling or prejudice ; and be it remembered it is the system which is relied on for the- mental culture of our children, who are soon not only to repre- sent us, but also themselves, in all the strength and power of their manhood, in the varied relations of active business.
The town at the last annual meeting appropriated $750 for the support of its schools for the year. The amount received from the State School Fund was $31.16, which was divided equally between the five School Districts comprising the whole town, making for cach district the sum of $156.23, which has been applied under direction of the Prudential Committee for each district, to the purpose for which it was raised.
Each of the schools has continued quietly through the usual. terms, with very little interruption. The good degree of har- mony and quietness that has characterized the preliminary arrangements for our schools, is worthy of special notc. There has been no misunderstanding to disturb the peaceful relations. necessary to make the schools efficient, pleasant and prosperous. For this and whatever else may have contributed to the general
11
prosperity and success of each particular school, the credit is largely due to the gentlemen who have served as Prudential Committee, not only for the generally wise and judicious selec- tion of teachers, but for their friendly and personal interest manifested toward the schools.
The persons who were selected and approved for the respon- sible position of teachers in our public schools, appeared well qualified for that service, and ardently desirous of rendering their labors beneficial to their pupils in the highest degree ; yet as might be expected, all were not alike successful. There are no two teachers precisely alike ; cach has his own peculiarities and must be allowed to proceed in his own peculiar way, or he will most assuredly fail of gaining the heart and mind of the child. And if we refrain from instituting a critical comparison of the different schools, and especially of discriminating between the different teachers, we hope it will be considered no disre- gard to usage or delinquency in duty, as it is a work often ren- dered very unsatisfactory if not positively injurious. We bear most honorable testimony to the fact that our teachers, as a body, both those of the Summer and those of the Winter, have labored with assiduity and most untiring zeal. The improve- ment has been as good as is commonly known to us. The progress made in Reading, Writing and Spelling, was quite perceptible, and pleasant to witness. These most important and fundamental branches of study are exceedingly liable to be neglected and passed over in too great haste. Most of the classes in Arithmetic, both written and mental, appeared well, - some of the scholars showed a good degree of accurate un- derstanding and proficiency. The other branches usually taught in our schools were attended to with varied success. Grammar, Geography, and History, seldom or never hold that place in. the mind of the scholar that their rank and importance de -- mand. It would be of great service if the teacher, at the close of a recitation and on assigning another lesson, should be able to give some familiar illustrations suited to the class, on cach topic, and. occasionally relate some pleasant and stirring anec ---
12
dotes, showing something of the practical utility of gaining a thorough knowledge of the subject, and thus awaken an interest in the study and arouse the energies of the mind.
The government of the schools has generally been judicious and eminently mild. No interference from the Committee has been called for, or required. It has seemed to the Committee, whenever they have visited the schools, both on the working days and at the closing examinations, that (with a single ex- ception) the relation of teacher and pupils was pleasant, and such as to evince a commendable regard to the rights and du- ties of each, and therefore respectful to both. Of course we do not claim that perfect order reigned ; it is not to be expected that all scholars will, at all times, conform with exact military precision in every thing and every particular. Such a course or state of things in schools composed of young children espe- cially, is not desirable, as it does not conduce either to the physical comfort and health of the scholars, or to their highest intellectual improvement. Discretion and prudence are essential qualities to the proper management of a District School. It requires the possession and exercise of many rare and valuable qualities which cannot be seen until they are brought out by trial and experience. We are pleased, therefore, when our fond and high hopes in regard to the teachers of our schools are not disappointed ; but if they fail in their work we all are not only disappointed, but there is a public loss.
For the Summer and also for the Winter terms, we are happy to state that two well tried and experienced teachers were retained - MISS BRIGHAM and MISS BRIDGES - whose previous 'reputation and success require no praise at our hands. They having continued their labors in the same schools for several successive terms with great fidelity, will long be remembered by their friends and pupils as judicious and conscientious teachers. The others had little or no previous experience in teaching. MISS GOWING, as was expected, succeeded well, was happy in her arrangements and general plans, and quite at home in her school. The Winter term was an improvement on the first,
13
showing the fact that she too can improve by experience, and no doubt may become eminent as a good teacher. The MISSES GEORGE were enthusiastic and diligent ; they aimed to be thor- ough in their teaching, and to accomplish much for their schol- ars. Unfortunately they did not receive the confidence and meet with the co-operation of the people to the extent that they were fairly entitled to expect, - unfounded prejudice cannot be casily removed in a single term, and ought never to be allowed to detract from the just merits of any teacher. MR. RICHARDSON was diligent and devoted to his work ; he took special pains with his classes in Reading, the effect of which was quite visible at the closing examination ; and in many other respects we consider him well deserving. MISS RICHARDSON, although quite young and without experience in teaching, gave much promise of being able to gain the good will of her scholars, and thus have a pleasant and prosperous school. Her success was the most perceptible with the younger portion of her scholars.
We are favorably impressed with the idea of employing female teachers generally for the Winter as well as the Summer school, and would suggest the propriety and urgent necessity of employing those who have judgment, matured by some practical trial and experience, especially for the more difficult and impor- tant term of a Winter school.

Average ages of all the scholars in the Winter school is but a small frac- tion from 11 years. The length of the South School was increased in conse- quence of a balance remaining from the appropriation of last year.
.14
By a comparison of the above table with the returns of last year, in the same particulars, it will be seen that the whole number of scholars in all the schools has increased in the Winter term twenty-one ; while in the Summer term it has decreased eleven, showing a singular irregularity.
The average attendance numbers very nearly the same as last year, and is quite too small. There can be no good reason as- signed for so large a per cent of absentees, five-eighths of all the scholars only in regular attendance. Besides this, the school registers contain another very decidedly unfortunate feature ; tardiness of scholars seems to be a great characteristic of the schools. In one school for both terms, are noted three hundred and seventy-six cases of tardiness. Now any one may see that such a state of things must occasion great loss to the tardy scholar, and serious interruption to the school itself. We call the careful attention of parents to these facts. This incon- stancy and tardiness in their children (if not absolutely unavoid- able) is carly laying the foundation and forming "habits which may seriously interfere with their success in business through life. Habits of punctuality should be carly regarded and main- tained. When and how can parents do better for their chil- dren than to insist upon a constant and punctual attendance on the school, and thus not only save them from indolence and evils incident to no occupation, but. secure for them all the improve- ment which our schools, maintained for the benefit of all, are suited to afford ? If our schools are not just what we could wish, yet they are our schools, and really constitute the source to which the children and youth of the town must repair if they would gain a knowledge of the rudiments and principles neces- sary to constitute a respectable emanmon education. . And if any here fail in this one point, who does not: see that such an one must always be a great. loser, and the public. thereby suffer. loss ?
For the honor of the schools we can confidently state that there are in each of them some scholars who have made very commendable improvement by diligence and close application vof. their minds to study. They are therefore, as such, known. as
15
ornaments to the school, and will be known as ornaments to society. But need we state that this number is quite too small ? .It is rather discouraging to notice how many of the older schol- ars are disinclined to give their minds to any thing like system- atic study. Here is one great difficulty ; and it is one for which the teacher is not always responsible. It is of no prac- tical use to charge every thing wrong upon the teacher. He may desire to implant high and worthy motives of action, and speak of the value of knowledge to an individual, and his rela- tions to a large community, and yet fail to arouse or call forth a single generous and noble effort. And all this failure on account of the indifference which surrounds him at home and in the neighborhood.
Now what is wanted and greatly needed, is a strong and healthy public sentiment on this subject. The public must be willing to do what is obviously necessary to give efficiency to its own institutions, in order to secure the highest interests of the people. Will any object to this ? If not, we invite the people of Wilmington to look back for a series of years and see what has been the influence coming down to us through our schools and other agencies of power that produced the state of things we now behold. After a careful and intelligent survey of the whole field, we are confident that the people will be ready to unite in all proper efforts for the elevation and improvement of our schools.
