REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
MELROSE, 1858.
YOUR Committee deem it advisable to submit a somewhat minute Report, speaking particularly of the SCHOOL PROPERTY, SCHOOLS, PUPILS and TEACHERS.
SCHOOL PROPERTY.
The school property consists of the school-houses, the lots they stand on, the school furniture and apparatus, and the fuel on hand.
The school-houses are six in number ; two are one story buildings, and four of two stories. Of the one story houses, that on Upham street falls but little short of being a model of its kind. The other, that at the Highlands, in some respects, is less happily constructed, and yet it is a good school-house.
The largest of the two story buildings is the Central ; the lower story of it is occupied by the First Grammar School, which it fully accommodates ; the High School occupies the upper story, and is well accommodated, except in recitation room. There is no recitation room proper in the building ; that used as such, was designed for a clothes room ; it may be made to answer for the present, although it is too small, badly shaped, illy ventilated, and too near the main room. The other three of the two story buildings are on Green, Lynde and Vinton streets. That on Vinton street is occupied by the
1
.
2
Second Grammar School and a Primary School. The other two are finished on the ground floor only, and each is occupied by a Primary School.
The buildings as a whole are excellent ; judiciously plan- ned, well built, and in good condition. In the course of an- other year some of them will need painting ; but at present no appropriation will be required, except what will repair those slight damages which occur from term to term, and which it is economy to attend to promptly.
The houses are all well located ; each accommodates the district for which it was built ; they are pleasantly situated, and none is inconvenienced by noise from without, except the Highland, which is some troubled by the proximity of the passing trains.
We have two more schools than we have legitimate school rooms. The Foster Street Primary occupies a portion of the vestry of the Congregationalist Church. The room will an- swer for a season, although it is a poor one for school purposes. The Main Street Primary occupies the Engine Hall. The room is a good one ; and while the town can devote it to its present use, none better need be sought.
All the school-house lots are of generous size, most of them are graded and dry, they are well fenced, and need but the addition of shade and ornamental trees, to render them equal to the best.
The school Furniture is nearly all of modern approved styles, firm and durable. It has been selected with careful reference to the size of the pupils, their comfort and health. This is as it should be, for badly constructed school furniture has an inevitable tendency to deform the bodies, sour the dis- positions, and impede the progress of those who are doomed to use it.
Most of the school rooms are furnished with a fair amount of teaching apparatus ; more could be advantageously used, but at present can be dispensed with. Some articles will be procured without calling upon the town.
3
The bill for Fuel during the past year will be greater than the actual consumption warrants. The unusual severity of the winter of 1856-7 exhausted the store at so early a date, that the Committee were obliged to procure an extra supply last spring. This extra really belongs to the expenses of the · year before.
Many repairs and wants, which had been for some time accumulating, and which had become urgent, together with those consequent upon the opening of two new schools, all of which the committee thought it best to meet promptly, rather than push forward to their successors, have tended to make the contingent expenses greater than they otherwise would have been. Being now cleared up, the contingent outlay for the future may be reduced to the minimum standard.
The entire value of the school property belonging to the town, is variously estimated, by different gentlemen, at from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars. With this outlay the town has met the wants of its ten schools ; and while it can be said truthfully that the schools have been well provided for, it is plain that the town has practised a vigilant economy.
None of the school property is insured ; whether it is de- sirable that it should be, the committee would not undertake to determine, as they suppose the insuring of town property does not come within the province of their duties.
SCHOOLS.
We have ten Schools ; seven of them are Primary, two of them Grammar, and one a High School. The Primary Schools are designated by their localities, and called respec- tively the Highland, Green Street, Upham Street, Lynde Street, Vinton Street, Foster Street aad Main Street Prima- ries. The Highland is to some extent a mixed school, having had scholars most of the year who were fully qualified to enter a Grammar School. Their presence has acted unfa-
4
vorably upon the school, distracting the attention of the teacher among too many classes, and preventing that thorough training of the younger pupils, which is very desirable. The evil is less now than formerly, and yet, although the committee have been earnest in their efforts to abate it, some of the parents continue unwilling to send their children to more distant and more appropriate schools. This is unfortunate, as it induces, on the part of the advanced scholars, habits of mental indo- lence, directly impedes the progress of the younger pupils, and so affects the standing of the school, and thus the reputation of the teacher, that we must urge the friends in that vicinity to unite in reducing the evil as much as possible.
During the past year this school has not progressed as was desirable. There has been a lack of studiousness, and a want of interest on the part of the pupils, which have greatly para- lyzed the efforts of the teacher. It is a difficulty which has been steadily increasing, and which demands active treatment. Miss Churchill took charge of the school at the commence- ment of the fall term. She has succeeded better than her predecessor, and yet the committee feel that a very much greater improvement is highly desirable.
The Green Street is strictly a Primary School ; all its pupils are of the rank, and all of them have given exclusive attention to those elementary principles, which belong to the lower grade of our schools. Within this, its appropriate sphere, it has done remarkably well, especially so since it has been under the care of Miss Coburn. It is equal to the best of our schools in order and quietness, and in direct attention to those points which come within its specific department.
The Upham Street is another mixed school, and has begun to suffer severely from the same evil which so injures the Highland school. During most of the past year it has suffered to a greater extent, as it has been attended by pupils, some of whom ought to have been in the Grammar, and others in the High School. These pupils have been repeatedly urged to attend those schools, where they would find equals to emulate,
5
and books and methods adapted to their wants, and yet the evil seems to be increasing-the last term being worse than any preceding one. The younger pupils, who by right should have received the exclusive care of the teacher, were deprived of a very large share of it, and hence have made but little comparative progress, nor do the committee look for a better state of things, until the teacher is released from the necessity of keeping a primary, a grammar and a high school all in one. We would not be understood as impeaching the capacity of the teacher ; she has done well, considering the difficulties she has had to encounter, and so far as the committee is informed, has the entire confidence of the district.
The Lynde Street is our largest Primary School, and in some respects as difficult to conduct as any we have. It is high praise to say that the teacher has been able to thoroughly control it, and to secure a very commendable rate of progress.
The Vinton Street Primary has been under the care of Miss Reed during the whole of the past year, and is to be commended for order and general studiousness.
The Foster Street Primary was found to be so large at the commencement of the year, that it was thought advisable to withdraw a portion of the pupils and form a new school. Since this was done the school has rapidly improved. The order is good, and the scholars are prompt and studious.
The Main Street Primary is composed of the pupils with- drawn from Foster Street. Since its commencement it has been in the care of Miss L. A. Norris, and has steadily ad- vanced. During the last term the progress was especially commendable.
The First Grammar School occupies the lower story of the High School building. During the year 1856-7 it was much too large, and the committee of that year proceeded to estab- lish a Second Grammar School. By this step the difficulty was entirely removed. The largest number belonging to the school during the past year was forty-five ; the average atten- dance thirty-five. The committee were confident from the
6
first, that the school, being thus relieved, would rapidly im- prove. These expectations were not realized. There were many things to commend, but the general standing and pro- gress of the school were not what our Grammar Schools ought to manifest. They ought, considering the thorough grading upon which they are established, and the complete and simple classification of which they are easily susceptible, and con- sidering the position they occupy as links between our prima- ries and our High School, to take rank with the very best schools of the kind to be found in any similar town.
The Second Grammar School, occupying the upper story of Vinton Street house, commenced with the first term of the year. During the first three terms it was under the care of Miss Fuller, and is largely indebted to her for its superior standing. During the winter term Miss P. A. Norris had the care of the school, and gave full evidence of being a superior teacher. The school is among the best of its kind, although there is still room for improvement.
The High School is gradually rising to the position, and attaining the influence, which belong to a school of its grade. The longer the pupils are permitted to remain in it, the more thorough they will become, and the more numerously academic branches may be introduced. By encouragement from the parents and citizens generally, it may be gradually advanced, until it ultimately becomes adequate to impart a sound practi- cal education, and is made the best preparatory school for those who wish to enter our universities. There is no good reason why the pupils should leave this school so early as they do. With scarcely an exception, they might remain two or three years longer without exhausting its facilities. As evi- dence of what may be accomplished in the school, we would call attention to the two classes which are now pursuing Latin, one of which will compare favorably with any class of its age we have ever known.
During the past year this school has done well, in some respects very well ; in others it needs decided improvement.
7
The masters have never progressed as rapidly, or gone as thoroughly as could be desired, and it is not rendered suffi- ciently difficult for laggards to get through the routine. The school occupies an important position, and absorbs a large share of the appropriation. It should be required to accom- plish a proportional amount of good. And while we can say with emphasis that it has done well during the past year, we hope it will accomplish still more during the year to come.
As a whole, the schools are praiseworthy ; we hope how- ever another year will show a marked improvement in them all. It has been the aim of the committee to secure three grades of the schools, so that the children may obtain a thorough training upon rudiments in the Primary schools, be passed into the Grammar schools, and there rendered expert and accurate in the common branches, and then in the High school complete a thorough academic education. We hope the citizens will unite with future committees to continue this arrangement ; as we are confident that when it is once com- pleted and the town begins to reap its valuable results, none will wish to relapse into former methods.
PUPILS.
There were in the town, on the first day of May last, four hundred and ninety-one persons of school age; that is, be- tween the ages of five and fifteen. Of these, four hundred and forty have been in the schools some portion of the year; many of them but a small portion. There have been in attendance, however, twenty-seven who were over fifteen, and thirty-six who were under five, and these, united to the others, swell the whole number of different pupils, in all the schools, during the year, to five hundred and three. This is an average of different scholars during the year to each school of fifty-three. The average number to a school in the whole State, even counting in the large cities, with which the town ought not to be com-
8
pared, is not forty-five ; leaving out the cities, the average to a school is less than thirty-six. To reduce the number in each of our schools to the average number in the other towns of the State, would require Melrose to support fourteen instead of ten schools. These facts are stated that the citizens may see that we certainly have no more schools than we need.
It may be asked with reason if we have schools enough. We should not have, had not a thorough system of grading been introduced, by which large classes are attainable. This system, which should never be relinquished or relaxed, is that by which the schools in our leading cities are carried to such a state of perfection.
But even with this system, it is thought best, by those most experienced, not to commit more than forty, at the outside fifty pupils to the care of one teacher. Boston has nearly fifty- five. Salem has forty-eight. Melrose, having eleven teach- ers-one assistant in the High School-averages forty-four to each teacher. The average in the State is forty ; omitting the larger cities, and it is but thirty-four.
Although our schools average about forty-four scholars, as the whole number attending during the year, yet it must be borne in mind that they are by no means all of the same size. The smallest school we have is that at the Highland, the whole number in which, during the past year, was thirty-six. The largest school is the High School,-it had seventy-eight different scholars during the year. Our two Grammar Schools have been small ; some of the Primaries are quite crowded,- one had fifty-three, two others fifty-five each, and another sixty-two.
Our schools are very much troubled by irregularity of at- tendance. An average of one quarter of the pupils belonging to our schools have been absent during the past year. It is to be expected that some will be absent, but twenty-five per cent. is far too many. To be sure it is a little better than it was. Last year there were absent over twenty-seven per cent., which made us for punctuality the thirtieth town in
