GRADE MEETINGS.
The grade meetings of teachers at the superintendent's office have been well attended, and as they are held for the purpose of consultation and advice, the results have been exceedingly ben- eficial to the schools.
Formerly the teachers were allowed to dismiss their schools once each month at 3 p. m. instead of 4, to attend these meet- ings. The meetings of the different grades were held on different days, so that the subjects discussed would be of interest to all teachers present.
The plan of holding the meetings by grades is still continued but the meetings are held after the regular school hours instead of dismissing earlier. This was preferred by the teachers them- selves, so that the work of the afternoon need not be inter- rupted.
At these meetings teachers of corresponding grades compare notes and talk over the amount that has been or that may be ac- complished in the different branches, how the difficulties are best overcome, and what is the best way to present the subject to the pupil. Sometimes a class that is doing excellent work is brought to the grade meeting and a practical illustration given. This is very useful to those present and very much enjoyed by the children.
SIGNAL FOR NO SESSION.
In June last the following plan was adopted for the primary and grammar schools :
Two strokes of fire alarm at 8:15 a. m., no forenoon session. Two strokes of fire alarm at 1 :15 p. m., no afternoon session.
44
ANNUAL REPORT
When the gong sounds at 8:15 and does not sound at 1 : 15. there will be the usual afternoon session.
In the high school, owing to the fact that there are many pupils from out of town who could not hear the signal, and that the others come from all parts of the city, the holding of the afternoon session is left to the judgment of the principal of the school.
There are few duties of the superintendent more puzzling than the determining whether the signal shall be given or not. It must be sounded exactly at 8 :15 and 1 : 15 or not at all. The weather that may be suitable for older children in the grammar schools is sometimes too inclement for the younger children of the primary grades.
Some parents are willing to have their children face the severest weather and think it beneficial, while others would hardly like to have them venture out even in slight storms. Consequently it is quite difficult to draw the line at just the requisite severity of weather to justify giving the signal, es- pecially as no prophet's mantle has yet descended upon the superintendent.
TRUANT OFFICER.
During the past year the truant officer has rendered efficient service to the schools. In addition to looking up scholars whose absence is suspicious, and returning to school children who are staying without the consent of their parents, he also visits the various manufactories to see that the provisions of the law in regard to the employment of children are faithfully en- forced. Under the present complicated statutes, which are in sad need of revision, this is not a very easy task.
In fact in none of the duties devolving upon him is the work as simple as it appears. When a case of truancy
45
SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
occurs, frequently something else is amiss, sometimes the child does not have clothing suitable to wear and is ashamed to appear in the school room; sometimes the real trouble is with the parents, who do not work in harmony. Fre- quently the mother shields the child in wrong-doing, while the father is kept in ignorance. Sometimes it is the father who allows the child to be absent when it is not necessary. In such cases much tact is required to induce the parents to do their own duty.
The truant officer has also exerted himself to obtain shoes and clothing for children who could not otherwise have attended school. Charitable individuals have kindly assisted him in pro- viding garments for many of these destitute pupils. The present winter is likely to find more than the usual number of children insufficiently clad, or unable to attend school on account of the lack of suitable shoes. Shoes are more difficult to get than second · hand clothing, as money is usually required to purchase new ones.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
The location of the different school districts was given in the Annual Report for 1892.
In determining these districts, the capacity of each school had to be considered, also the probable number of pupils and their proximity to the various schools. On the whole the limits seem to have been as justly and fairly located as was possible, when each year was likely to show considerable variation in the number of pupils for any given room.
By one of the rules of the School Board, pupils cannot be allowed to attend school out of their districts, without a vote of the Board. At the opening of the schools some rooms were found crowded beyond their capacity. Transfers were made to other schools, after careful consideration of the residences of all the pupils. Such transfers usually cause dissatisfaction, no matter how fairly they may be conducted.
46
ANNUAL REPORT
TUITION OF NON-RESIDENT PUPILS.
For many years past pupils from other towns attending our primary and grammar schools have been required to pay the merely nominal sum of twelve dollars per annum.
As this was much less than the actual cost per scholar for the children living in this city, the School Board decided this fall to advance the price for non-residents so that they would be re- quired to pay more nearly the price which our own citizens pay-at least not less.
The fee for non-resident pupils as given below is very much less than is usually charged in other cities, being for primary grades $15 per annum, for grammar grades $24 per annum, for children attending wholly in the High school $48.
TRUANT OFFICER'S REPORT.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :
I have the honor to submit my annual report for the school year ending July 1, 1893. This report does not vary much from that of the previous year.
Your attention is called to the fact that for most of the absences from school, parents are responsible. In addition to the large number of cases where children are allowed to remain away from school unnecessarily, there are many others who having obtained certificates allowing them to work and then failing to obtain work, are allowed to remain at home or loiter about the streets. Parents should co-operate with the truant officer and return such children to school.
TRUANCY.
During the year there have been many troublesome cases of truancy, and many cases where parents are indifferent as to
47
SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
whether their children attend school or not. Two cases were brought before the court, reprimanded and placed on probation. A wholesome effect would be produced if one or two of the worst cases were sent to the Truant school at Lawrence.
INSPECTION OF FACTORIES.
Authorized by the School Board to visit all factories and workshops, I have faithfully performed that part of my duty by visiting them once or twice a month. Where children have been found working without certificates I have caused their discharge. I am pleased to say however, that the manufacturers and foremen generally comply with the law, and co-operate with the truant officer in its enforcement.
The duties of the truant officer are numerous and sometimes annoying and perplexing. To keep children without proper parental control or where parents are at work in the factories, in regular attendance at school is not an easy task.
The following tables give an outline of the year's work.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT G. ALLEN, Truant officer.
