C. M. BARTON, OSCAR BELDEN, Committee. CARRIE L. WARNER.
REPORT OF C. C. LEE,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS OF DEERFIELD, HATFIELD AND LEVERETT DISTRICT.
School Committee of Hatfield :
LADY AND GENTLEMEN .- On assuming the duties of superintendent of your schools last April, the members of your committee and all the teachers received me cordially, and manifested a desire to co-operate with me in advancing the efficiency and usefulness of the public schools ; although I have found the work no pastime, it has been much easier by reason of that sympathy and co-operation, which have continued unabated throughout the year.
I found your schools well organized and classified with an efficient corps of teachers, taking a high rank among the schools of the rural towns of the State, showing that your committee had not been unmindful in the past of the trust committed to their care. I brought to that service an expe- rience of twenty-six years in the public schools and acade- mies; and I fully realize the responsible position to wh our teachers are called.
Our schools represent so much, and their results are so far reaching, that earnest, faithful supervision should be
35
36
given to their every day work; and in these days of meth- ods, earnest progressive teachers are essential to the success of the schools.
The vocation of the teacher is not an easy one. Earnest patient work is all the time required; also a manifested zeal in behalf of the pupils.
A teacher must study constantly to grow professionally, and to meet the demands laid upon her.
It matters not that some persons engage in the work of teaching with little preparation, or that they devote but little time to careful study after entering upon their work ; the demands made upon those who assume these duties are exacting.
The personality of the teacher shapes in a great measure the life of the pupils, hence the schools require teachers of culture and of character.
The interests of the youth in our schools should be com- mitted to those who realize the responsibility of the sacred trust.
Our country towns have not the means to employ teach- ers who have the education, training and qualifications to meet all the foregoing requirements. And it becomes the work of the superintendent to make up these requirements as far as he may be able. And to that end I have devoted my every energy, and by precept and example have tried to instil in the minds of the youth in the public schools principles of morality and justice which shall tend to make them honored citizens in the years to come.
I have attended to the teachers' work in detail, assisted in arranging the course of study, suggested new and improved methods; advised in regard to discipline, and topics to be taught.
I have looked after the progress of individual pupils, helped the troubled ones, and encouraged the discouraged.
1
37
I have found it necessary to give a large number of teach- ing exercises during my inspection visits. These exercises have included methods in reading, spelling, arithmetic, geography, language and physiology.
In reading I have endeavored to correct the unnatural tone of voice and have pupils read as they talk, to give ex- pression to their reading as well as pronouncing the words.
I have made reading a specialty and have observed marked improvement in this most important branch of their education. To attain this end I have been particular in regard to their position in standing, holding their book, and that they understood thoroughly what they were reading.
Distinct articulation and enunciation have been secured in many of the schools.
I believe in both oral and written spelling. I have insist- ed on the recognition of syllables, because I believe a knowl- edge of them necessary to pronunciation, accent and enun- ciation.
I have given an outline of a special course in geography, and applied it to all the schools in my district, and those teachers who have followed it closely have achieved excel- lent results.
Much time has been wasted, I think, by trying to follow the language given in our school geographies; pursued in the way I have indicated in my special course much time is saved, especially in the lower grades.
They begin with distance first, then surface, location, form, size of the earth, divisions of land and water, then the study of the town, county, etc.
The pupils have drawn very accurate maps of the town, county and state.
The text books are all right if used properly, in the prepa- ration of the lessons in the higher grades.
During the fall and winter terms special attention has
38
been given to penmanship-correct position, good pen-holding and movement exercises. This branch requires constant attention and practice. Those teachers who have followed the rules closely have attained good results.
I have also arranged a system of monthly examinations, whereby all the pupils above the lower grades have had to pass a written examination at the close of each month, and from these examinations their scholarship has been obtained. It has proved an incentive to more thorough work. It has given the teachers much more work, but nearly all of them have taken it up kindly and cheerfully, and the scholarship of the pupils has been greatly improved. I have held fre- quent teachers' meetings during the school year, which have been very generally attended by the teachers and members of the school board, where topics pertaining to their work have been discussed, and where much instruction has been given that could not be given in the school room.
Agent G. T. Fletcher of the State Board of Education, held an Institute at South Deerfield, Oct. 15, at which all the teachers were present. He was assisted by several em- inent school workers, and the meeting was one of great val- ue and had a marked effect upon the schools.
Mr. Fletcher also spent one day with me, inspecting your schools, and assisted at a teachers' meeting in the evening, giving many valuable hints and suggestions.
I have tried to give due attention to all the branches of study. I have made 117 inspection visits during the year covered by this report, and seldom in visiting a school have I found nothing requiring immediate attention, no questions waiting for an answer, or no assistance needed.
It has been impressed upon the teachers that they were the custodians of the school buildings and school supplies, that the buildings were not abused or supplies wasted.
The average attendance has been good, yet in some in-
39
stances the irregular attendance has been a serious matter. Parents do not all realize in the same degree the harm done their children by allowing their absence from school exercis- es for work, business, or pleasure.
Sickness has interfered to some extent with the attend- ance during the winter term, especially in the schools at North Hatfield and West Hatfield, but on the whole the attendance has been good and progress satisfactory.
Frequent inspection may be a source of annoyance to an occasional teacher, and some pupils who dislike the presence of authority, yet constant care, intelligent oversight, guid- ance and supervision must tend to improve, elevate and enhance the value of the public schools.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the committee for the cordial support and co-operation that has been given me, in all my efforts, and to express my gratification with the spirit of earnestness and loyalty that has been shown by the teachers.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
CHAUNCEY C. LEE.
