ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
CITY OF NEWBURYPORT
FOR THE YEAR
1883.
CITY OF NEWBURYPORT

NEWBURYPORT: M. C. TEEL & SON, PRINTERS, 4 MERRIMAC STREET. 1884.
REPORT.
In accordance with Chapter 40, Section 6, of the General Statutes, the School Committee herewith offer their annual report.
The city is to be congratulated that so little matter requiring statement or comment has occurred in our schools during the year. No serious complaint from parents, pupils, or teachers, has come to the notice of the board. The committee on public property have been prompt to the call of the school committee in making all needed repairs and alterations in the school buildings for the comfort and convenience of teachers and pupils, and notwithstanding the large number of pupils who left the public schools at the beginning of the year to enter the Parochial school, the member- ship of our schools is still, with one or two exceptions, sufficient for the best interests of all who participate in the educational advantages there furnished.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
We are happy to say of all these schools that the committee are pleased with their present management,
4
and that both principals and assistants are doing good and thorough work.
It is believed that the teachers are generally success- ful in inspiring the pupils with enthusiasm in their studies, and efficient discipline is maintained.
These schools are the most important in the com- monwealth. For here the rudiments of knowledge are acquired, and the youthful mind receives its first im- pulse and direction. Much that is learned later in life is forgotten, but what is here learned is likely to be permanent, and the characters here formed may be permanent.
