REPORT
OF THE
School Committee.
In accordance with the vote of the town at its last annual meeting the committee, at the beginning of the year, ap- pointed one of its number to give "special attention to the schools." The purchase and distribution of books and sup- plies was also given to him, while the employment and dis- missal of teachers, the repairs of buildings, the purchase of fuel, etc., was retained for the committee as a whole.
The supervisor's report is as follows :--
Supervisor's Report.
The schools on the whole have been prosperous. We have been fortunate in having fewer changes in our corps of teachers than usual, but nearly all the teachers have been beginners or but a few terms removed from beginners, while none of the older ones on whom we have so much relied re-
(25)
4
26
main. These young teachers however have done good work, and their success is appreciated.
My associates on the committee have given me the fullest freedom in my work, and have treated me with uniform kindness.
The care of books and supplies and the very large share of the work assigned to the committee at large which has fallen to me, has limited more than I wished the time given to special school-room work.
The teachers have uniformly shown me kindness and cour- tesy, and suggestions have been received far more cordially than I could have anticipated.
I have made eighty-nine visits to the schools. These have been supplemented with a considerable number of brief calls made as opportunity offered. Conferences also out of school hours have given opportunity for suggestions which might otherwise have interrupted school work.
Five teachers' meetings have been held in which, besides general discussion, reading, early written arithmetic, lan- guage teaching, and elementary geography have been con- sidered.
A course in early written arithmetic has been prepared with the view to make the teaching more strictly inductive. In following it, principles and rules are withheld much longer than is usual, leaving the pupil to generalize for him- self, and to find his own solutions.
In language-teaching we have aimed to have the leading object, not the correction of errors of grammar, capitalization and punctuation, but the thought and its expression by the pupil.
Silent reading has been practiced somewhat during the past two terms. This consists in allowing pupils to read si- lently certain paragraphs, then to state in their own lan- guage the substance of what they have read. This reading is done at sight, the pupil not being allowed to prepare his
-
27
lesson. By this manner of reading, he is trained to extract the meaning from the printed page at sight, to hold it in mind, and to express it in ready English.
These results embrace by far the most useful objects of learning to read; still good oral reading is an accomplish- ment not to be despised, vocal training is also gained when it is well conducted, and above all it gives the teacher ready insight into her pupils' deficiencies and enables her to cor- rect his errors.
We have therefore retained the oral reading wholly in the first and second reader grades, and for fully half the time in those of the third and fourth.
RESPECTFULLY;
C. M. BARTON.
