ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
For the Year Ending March, 1877.
The closing of another year suggests to your Committee the duty of submitting their annual report. As a town, we have cause for congratulation with the general progress of school work. If we should deal with particular cases, it would be easy to indicate faults, and opportunities for improvement. We have not yet reached the ideal of excellence ; and, while this is con- ceeded, we claim proficiency in many particulars, both on the part of teacher and pupil.
It is not proposed to single out instances of failure or success, for public attention, either on the part of teacher, scholar or school. For it is obvious that, without an understanding of the connecting circumstances, there might be unjust impressions formed that would produce injury rather than good. We prefer, to view results attained in their general aspects, with suggestions as they occur.
There is no danger that as citizens we shall place too high an estimate upon our common school system of education. To it, largely, we owe our position as a State and Nation, and our hope for the future is in the free and thorough diffusion of knowl- edge among the masses to which it aims. It should be admit- ted that their support is a large item of expense to every town. The amount appropriated in the State for the year ending April, 1875, was nearly $4,500,000, equal to a trifle less than $15 for each child between the ages of five and fifteen years. (The per centage in our own town, however, was less than $7). But the
18
cost of ignorance would be much greater. Even now the ex- penses of our penal and reformatory institutions in Massachu- setts, with the criminal courts, approximate to this amount. And when we remember that eighty per cent. of the crime in New England is committed by the seven per cent. who cannot read, it is clear that a failure to provide facilities for the educa- tion of the young would be even more expensive. But the edu- cation afforded by the public school has a higher purpose even than the restraint upon the criminal and vicious. It aims to enlighten the mind, to cultivate its powers, and to equip with the intelligence necessary for the successful prosecution of busi- ness and for the higher functions of citizenship.
In these times of financial distress, when taxes are burden- some, there is a general desire to reduce expenses, both public and private. Town and city expenditures are closely scanned, that they may be diminished to the lowest point possible. Un- questionably, a fair reduction in all departments is necessary. And if, in relation to schools, such a course does not subvert their best interests, it is wise and just. But there is a point beyond which it is not judicious to go, even under the guise of economy. We can ill afford, at this day, to cripple those inter- ests calculated to implant in the heart a common sense of hu- manity, self-respect, and the discipline of self-government.
The course of study in the public schools is mainly prepara- tory ; the foundation work, and hence of the first importance. But with the eagerness to reach something higher, the tendency is to neglect those branches that will give character and effect to all future attainments. Reading and spelling do not occupy the place they ought in public education. To be proficient in either, is an accomplishment that few possess. Pupils are apt to consider reading in the light of recreation, and if they have ascended from the Primer to the Sixth Reader, and been able to pronounce the words correctly, they consider their work accom- plished. Elocution, in its strictest sense, should not necessarily be sought, but rather the ability to grasp the meaning of the author, appropriate his ideas, and utter them with a clear, easy, and natural expression. Teachers seldom succeed in this branch of their work, when they fail to give reading its proper place as a study, and demand of each one under their charge as careful preparation in this as in any pursued.
19
Writing and spelling have a practical value, and are essential elements in the preparatory work. Proficiency in them can only be achieved by patient, well directed effort. Indeed, in the grouping of these three are found the foundation principles of all future acquirements. We have urged their importance in the schools, and it is our pleasure to state that, in some instances, teachers have taken the position with regard to them that they demand, and yet, improvement is in order.
The need of correct and efficient instruction in the elementary schools cannot be sufficiently emphasised. "As the twig is bent the tree is inclined," is a maxim as true here as elsewhere. If we would have the tree symmetrical in its maturity it must be carefully pruned and nurtured in its early growth ; and if we seek for our children the possession of a well-developed mind and character, we should be satisfied with nothing less than a careful and judicious training in childhood, both at home and in school. The opinion is often entertained that teachers of ordinary acquirements can direct the education of the child, and even that those entering the teacher's profession are sufficiently skilled for the work; but these are pernicious ideas. If we must have instructors of this class, let them be placed over those more mature, where there is at least a chance that their thought- lessness and inefficiency may be counteracted, and not be im- pressed indelibly on the minds of little children. To control and interest the child, is a great conquest To employ, profita- bly, the activities, both mental and physical, that otherwise would be wasted in mischief, requires tact ; and to supply, as in many instances is often necessary, the deficiencies of home in- struction, requires patient toil.
Teachers need your sympathy and co-operation. Show them, parents, by your frequent presence in the schools, that you are interested in their success, and it will not only tend to redouble their energy, but you will receive from so doing, a practical knowledge of the methods employed, and thus be able to judge by your own observation of the results attained. Criticisms would not be so often unreasonable if they were based on per- sonal acquaintance with the facts. The best endeavors of a teacher may be entirely neutralized, and failure in her work en- sue, simply by accepting for truth heresay reports, that may be the production of some one's imagination, and possibly exist only
20
there. Parents are not always aware of the assistance they can render in making our schools more successful. Nor do they realize the injury they may produce by thoughtless interference with teachers in school government. To be left undisciplined is a calamity to any school, and a serious injury to any child. It cannot be expected that any teacher will successfully govern and instruct those whose parents are indifferent in regard to their attendance and conduct. The interests of the school, family and individual are one ; and the parent, who by any means encour- ages his children in insubordination, is contributing to their ruin, and surely laying up sorrow for himself, besides lending that influence, which works like leaven in destroying the suc- cessful operation of the school.
We have reason for honest pride in the possession of such am- ple facilities for home education. The school buildings are in the main, pleasant, commodious, and conveniently situated, so as to be accessible to all. Additions have been made to the apparatus from year to year, as available funds would allow, and there is still room for more. The necessity yet remains for a careful and wise supervison, and a selection of teachers who have a love for their work ; and something more, an ability to develop the faculties of pupils under their charge. The choice of teachers is not always an easy task. Your committee have aimed to lay aside all personal preferences and prejudices in the discharge of this duty, and yet, we agree that we have some- times erred. The test of superior education or scholarship is not always safe, neither are the recommendations of others always reliable. The only safe means of discrimination is by trial.
There is a noticeable ambition on the part of most scholars to finish the elementary branches of the Public Schools as early as possible, with a view of entering the Academy. So far as this tends to inspire zeal and arouse a determination to thoroughly master their work, it is commendable. But if, on the other hand, it tends to a superficial knowledge of the rudiments of education, it is pernicious, and should be corrected. Crowding children will never be successful, and the study of the higher branches will hardly supply the necessity for a complete mastery of the fundamental principles of education. If these are con- quered, the facilities afforded by the Academy for a higher edu-
21
cation will more certainly accomplish the desired object. We record with pleasure our appreciation of the results already attained in this institution, and, with its present thorough and skillful management, it is destined to fulfill our most sanguine expectations as an auxilliary to our Public Schools in furnishing that discipline of mind, practical knowledge, and social and moral development necessary for the proper discharge of the responsibilities of life.
Your Committee have, in the discharge of their duties during the year now closed, endeavored to confine themselves in their expenditures to the sum appropriated for their use, and a perusal of the financial statement accompanying this report will give you the needed information upon this point.

REPORTS
OF
THE SELECTMEN
AND
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF HATFIELD,
For the Year Ending March 1, 1878.
HATFIELD, MASS .: POWER PRESS OF ECONOMICAL PRINTING CO. 1878.
=
L
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The appropriations made by the town for the year, ending March 1, 1878, amount in the aggregate to $7,843.09. The State Tax was $1,065.00, and the County Tax, $1,810. 74.
The Selectmen and Treasurer were instructed to refund the town debt, where the rate of interest exceeded 6 per cent. We have paid one note in the Hampshire County Savings Bank of $1,300.00, and one note in the Northampton Institution for Sav- ings of $1,975. We have made a loan of John Pickering & Mosely of $2,000 for one year; rate of interest, 434 per cent. We have also made the first payment of $1,000 to Richardson, Hill & Co .; the second payment of $2,000 on Richardson, Hill & Co.'s note comes due April 29, 1878; and the $2,000 note held by John Pickering & Mosely, comes due in June, 1878.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES.
Fourteen hundred dollars ($1400) was appropriated for this service.
We have expended for Highways and Bridges $1,225.22. We found two of the bridges on the Swamp road in bad condition, and we were obliged to relay the walls on both, at an expense of about $125, We thought best to lay the walls in cement, think- ing it would be economy for the town. We have also built a foot walk near the Hill Bridge, expense $70.
The wall on one of the dry bridges on the old Depot road has gone down, and it will be necessary to relay it: and one bridge near David Powers' will have to be rebuilt.
4
POOR.
We have expended for Poor $874.50. Rolly Wells came to us the 25th of July, and we have boarded him ever since at an ex- pense of $2.50 per week. David D. Gardner applied to us for help, Jan. 31, 1878, in very feeble condition, and has been under medical treatment ever since. Mrs. Sarah Williams came to us for help, Dec. 3d, 1877, and we have provided for her, and have charged same to the State, as we find that she is a State pauper. Geo. Hathaway was sent to the State Reform School the first of April last, and we have paid $1. per week for his support. Our tramp bill has not been as large as some years, being but $53.85; and of this sum, $19.00 was paid in the month of March, 1877.
We have settled with Mr. J. E. Doane in full, for all taxes placed in his hands for collection, for the year 1877. He has performed the duties of Collector with such promptness and abil- ity, that we consider it worthy of note; it being something so very unusual, for a Collector to settle in full, before the annual town meeting. Our Treasurer, Mr. Roswell Billings, has also performed his duties with ability and promptness.
The amount of uncollected taxes for the year 1875 and 1876, placed in our hands for collection, was $1,541.33 and interest; the amount collected on the face of the taxes was $1,339.33; interest on same, $84.13, being a loss of $202.
The indebtedness of the town has been reduced $2,275, leaving the present liabilities: outstanding bills to about $600, and notes amounting to $6,500; total, $7,100. To offset this, we find in the hands of the Treasurer, cash, $1,705.73, and balance due on E. F. Billing's note of $52.02, leaving a balance of $5,342.25 as the indebtedness of the town.
