Annual Report of the SCHOOL COMMITTEE
For the Year Ending March, 1879.
In the discharge of the duties assigned them, the Board of School Committee submit to the town their Annual Report.
It has been our aim during the year now closed, to confine our expenditures within the sum appropriated for schools; therefore, we have practised economy in every thing possible, consistent with the best interests of the schools and the future public good.
The No. of teachers employed, 10; No. retained throughout the year, 4. A very large percentage of our teachers have been home-made, graduates of Smith Academy. They have, taken as a whole, been very successful. No one has been a failure; yet, some have been more successful than others in discipline. We have employed some teachers from other towns, who have been equally rewarded with success. All have seemed to take a deep interest in their work of instruction, and, in the main, good dis- cipline has been the rule rather than the exception. Much in- terest has been taken in the preservation of the school property. We do not propose to single out any who have partially failed, nor those that achieved the greatest success, but make our criti- cisms and commendations in general terms; as more evil than good would naturally arise from personal allusion.
We have put our shoulders to the wheel, from time to time, with the teachers, and done all in our ability to correct all mis- takes and push forward the education of our pupils in good morals as well as in book knowledge; although, in many respects we feel that we have erred.
24
Many teachers are far more anxious how to govern than how to teach; forgetting that the great secret of good discipline, is good teaching. Often, the pupil who is the most troublesome when uninterested and careless, becomes a most earnest student when rightly directed and inspired by a true teacher. The teacher should lead, instead of drive; teach, instead of hear reci- tations; encourage originality of thought and method, instead of requiring the exact language and matter of the book. She should be the earnest friend of every pupil, rather than the stern, unyielding monarch. One original thought of the pupil is worth a score committed to memory from the book. This is a question that can not be too strongly emphasized, and one which is much overlooked by many who are teaching. If the pupil comes to the recitation with his or her lesson passably well committed to memory, it is thought to be enough, without in- vestigating the matter to see whether the pupil has any ideas of his or her own on the subject in question.
Considerable time has been taken up with reading and spelling during the year, and with much profit to the pupils. These branches are apt to be neglected by teachers and scholars, as many have a strong desire to get up higher on the ladder, little realizing the mistake that they have made, until it is, in many cases, too late to be remedied. These branches, and all others in the fundamental principles of the rudiments of education, can not be too thoroughly understood; hence the importance of em- ploying teachers thoroughly versed in their occupation. Yet something more is needed. The co-operation of the parents with the teacher is an important element. Unless the sympathy of parents is in harmony with the purpose of the teacher, the school is shorn of much success.
Judicious people do not frequently point the exceptional blem- ishes of an exceptionally excellent school to their neighbors, knowing what evil will result from "sowing tares among the wheat;" but discreet people strive to help mould and make a school,-not to mar it and discourage its teacher. There is no better way of showing your interest in the welfare of your child- ren, than by frequent visits to the school-room. It inspires the pupils to nobler and grander purposes of thought and action, and stimulates the teacher to adopt better methods of operation.
25
The most of our schools labor under great disadvantage, through the negligence of some of the parents to provide suffi- cient text books for their children. Some scholars, in cases of need, have been furnished at the expense of the town; yet others, who ought to come fully equipped, are but partially supplied; consequently, great annoyance to the teacher to borrow books for them, or devise some other plan to keep them, who have nothing to do, quiet.
We shall not receive the full benefit of the money expended for schools, until the town buys and owns all books used in our pub- lic schools; thereby giving all classes a free and equal chance for the improvement of the mind. Your committee sugest, that it would be wise economy for the town, to purchase at wholesale prices and supply all deficiencies as they occur; each book to be labeled with proper rules for protection and loaned to the pupil. Many towns in the State have adopted this plan with success.
An examination of some of our school registers, show at a glance, that the record of attendance for the year now closed, is below mediocrity; for which various reasons can be given: The summer and winter terms were unavoidably broken up by the in- visible hand of God, in prostration of teachers and scholars by sickness; but aside from sickness, we do not, as a town, approxi- mate to a good degree of punctuality in attendance. In the school year of 1876-7, of the 342 towns and cities in the state, we rank the 305th town in percentage of attendance; while 304 rank better, and only 37 are below us.
It does seem to your committee, that considerable absence and tardiness might be avoided if all parents were seeking for the highest good of their children, instead of the small pittance that they can earn at home. Indifference is sometimes met with, where parents do not, or can not, make their children go to school; and yet others send their children, as they suppose, to school, but they do not go there; but go to some pond where there is skating or some other recreation.
While we have brought these facts to your notice, we wish to remind you, that we have laws in our State for such cases, which should be made to bear upon them with all their force.
26
The Legislature of 1873, passed an act as follows :-
"Each city and town shall make all needful provisions and ar- rangements concerning habitual truants and children between the ages of seven and fifteen years who may be found wandering about in the streets or public places of such city or town, having no lawful occupation or business, not attending school, and growing up in ignorance; and shall also make such by-laws as shall be most conducive to the welfare of such children, and to the good of such city or town; and shall provide suitable places for the confinement, discipline and instruction of such children: provided, that said by-laws shall be approved by the Superior court or a Justice thereof, or by the Judge of probate of the county."
When we think of the pauperism, vice and crime, which igno- rance, is in a large degree accountable, it does seem to your com- mittee that the town should use all the means available to en- hance the value of our public schools; therefore, we shall present at the annual town meeting, a form of by-laws concerning truant children, to be acted upon by the town.

ANNUAL REPORTS
OF THE
SELECTMEN,
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
AND
LIBRARY COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF HATFIELD,
For the Year Ending March 1, 1880.
NORTHAMPTON, MASS. : STEAM PRESS OF GAZETTE PRINTING COMPANY, 1880.
Selectmen's Report.
The time has again arrived when it is the duty of the Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor to report to the voters of the town their doings, and how the appropria- tions of the town, for the past year, have been expended. It is our desire to report to you in a way that you may know where every dollar of your money has gone, so that each voter can see and approve or disapprove, as he likes. The appropriations made for the year were not quite large enough, in some accounts, to carry us through, so that we were obliged to exceed ; but taking the appro- priations as a whole we have not exceeded, as you will see by a careful examination of our report.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES.
One thousand dollars was appropriated for these ac- counts, seven hundred for highways and three hundred for bridges. We have expended for bridges, $462.19 ; highways, $874.15.
On a close examination of our bridges, we found eight or ten of them in bad condition, and we were obliged to replank eight, and partially replank several more. We have rebuilt abutments on two bridges on the Depot road, and have otherwise repaired them.
4
POOR.
This branch of town business requires a great deal of patience, and, as is well known, is the hardest and most unsatisfactory of all town business, but we have tried to labor faithfully, so that we might do justice both to the town and to the poor. We have aided forty different ones during the past year. We have paid for this account, $1,218.15 ; of this amount, $31.93 that we have paid for B. Perham, will come back to us from the State, as we find that he is a State pauper.
TOWN DEBT.
The indebtedness of the town amounts to John Pick- ering & Moseley's note of $2,000, due June 3d, 1880 ; and two notes held by the State Treasurer of $3,500 and $1,000, due April 11th, 1880, and August 20th, 1880; and outstanding bills to about $350. Total, $6,850.
To offset this, we find in the hands of the Treasurer, cash $1,035.25 ; a balance due on E. F. Billings' note of $41.53 ; due from State on poor account, $27.07; and State aid, $276.87, leaving a balance of $5,469.28 as the indebtedness of the town. Decreasing the indebtedness of the town, $1,650.80
