SCHOOL REPORT.


Among the mysteries of human experiences, during the year, has been the removal, by death, of the chairman of the school committee. Mrs. A. M. Bent was taken sick the 22d of July. The best medical skill could give no relief and on July 31 she ceased the activities of an exceedingly useful life. Mrs. Bent possessed natural abilities and acquired virtues which won for her the admiration of every person with whom she came in contact. Her great mind was full of plaus for improving the condition of our public schools. She greatly de- sired that the town might make more liberal appropriations so that the schools might be equal to any in the state, and at the time her illness came was carefully planning for the future, with the fullest confidence of her associates. By her death the schools and the town have sustained a great loss.


The vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. Bent was filled, accord- ing to law, by the election of Joseph Candlin.


The committee feels that there are two main qualifications for successful teaching : first, intellectual fitness ; second, power to secure good government. It was felt, at the beginning of the year, that it was very important to secure good order in the schools, as there can be no satisfactory results without it. Perfect discipline lies at the foundation of progress in the education given in our public schools. We trust that all parents, for the sake of proper advancement in the education of their children, will show their approval of all careful attention to secure this end. The new teachers had this matter thoroughly urged upon them and were charged to secure as perfect


76


discipline as possible. We think, at the present time, the discipline in most of our schools will compare very favorably with that of the schools of surrounding towns or cities.


The committee has been pleased to notice that the greater part of the teachers know what they are teaching without the necessity of always referring to the text book. By this method of teaching with- out books the impression is given to the pupil that the teacher is not presenting something from the books but from a well stored mind that is thoroughly acquainted with what is to be taught. Another advantage is that the teacher can have full supervision over the rest of the school while hearing the class recitations.


In the Cochituate school, at the commencement of the present school year, there were two of the grammar school graduates of 1889 entering upon an advanced course of high school studies, but through sickess and from other causes they have ceased to pursue the course. There are now eleven of last year's class, and two others who are pursuing high school studies. We wish they could remain and complete the entire course and thus have the town lay the foundation for a first-class high school.


The school committee, for several years, has felt that the schools were suffering greatly because of insufficient appropriations to advance the salaries of good teachers in order to prevent their removal to other towns for better remuneration.


When teachers come into our schools and prove first-class, some other town comes and offers them more pay and they leave us. The consequence is that there must be a frequent change of teachers, and very often the committee is obliged to employ teachers with no experience. These same teachers as soon as they become proficient are taken away by offers of increased wages.


The neighboring town of Weston pays some of its female teachers fifty dollars and others sixty a month. One of these teachers with fifty scholars has sixty dollars a month and an assistant teacher.


The committee asks careful attention of the town to the present condition of the school fund. It is utterly impossible longer to con- duct the schools, even on the present basis of payment, without a much larger appropriation. As a proof of this we here present a table of unexpended balances at the time of town meeting for the last six years :


77


1885,


$1,842 51


1888,


$1,184 17


1886,


1,760 73


1889,


1,064 78


1887,


1,478 62


1890,


717 57


From this table it will appear that the committee for some years has been obliged to spend considerably more than the amounts appropriated. It is supposed that the unexpended balance at the time of town meeting will pay ail bills for the spring term, as no money is placed in the town treasury till October. We therefore ask the attention of the town to the treasurer's report for 1890, pages 48-49. It will there be found that the expenses for the year, de- ducting $717.57 unexpended balance, were $5,816.43. Divide this amount by 37, the number of weeks the schools were in session, and you will find an expense of $157.20 a week. Allowing thirteen weeks for spring term, there ought to have been an unexpended balance of $2,043.60 instead of $717.57.


From the same report, for 1890, we find the following :


Total expense for year, . $5,816 43


INCOME.

. $5,100 00

State school fund,


164 28


Dog tax, .


192 94


Total income,


5,469 22


$347 21 Deficiency for the year,


This year the committee found it absolutely necessary to have another teacher in the Cochituate grammar school. This was caused by an increase of scholars, and to make it possible properly to grade the schools. This causes an additional expense of $360 a year. It is expected that the new system of heating will increase the expense by nearly one hundred dollars.


By turning to the treasurer's report for the present year, page 42, it will be found that the debtor's account is as follows :

$717 57

Deduct from this total the unexpended balance,

. $5,516 96


Amount expended since last town meeting is


. $6,020 07


Year's income, as above,


5,516 96


Deficiency for the year,


$503 11


There is now an unexpended balance of $214.46. The unex- pended balance, as before stated in this report, ought to be sufficient to pay the spring term, but it will only provide for a little more than one week towards the thirteen.


The bills of the coming year cannot possibly be met with a less appropriation than $6,000. To properly increase the unexpended balance it ought to be much more.


We are glad to be able to speak in the highest terms of the new system of heating and ventilation in the Cochituate school house and to find that it perfectly satisfies the teachers.


One great impediment in the way of steady progress in our schools is the frequent absence of scholars. It breaks into the studies and makes the work of teachers difficult and often unsatisfactory to both parents and teachers. In one school of thirty scholars the records of five weeks show that there were only three that had neither been tardy nor absent. We would urge upon parents the necessity of securing regular attendance in order to help the progress of the schools.


In conclusion we suggest to parents that it would be helpful to teachers to have more frequent visitation. At the present time there are very few visits made except on closing days.


In consideration of the fact that for several years the expenses have been more than the income, we recommend an appropriation of $6,000 for teachers' salaries, care of school houses and fuel ; and $600 for text books and supplies.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE


ON Heating and Ventilating Cochituate Grammar School Building.


In entering upon the work committed to them your committee early began to realize that it was an undertaking that belonged to others of larger experience, but with the intelligent advice and generosity of the voters they have done the work, considering the situation they found the building in and obstacles to overcome, so as to get the best results for the outlay. After examining several plans they adopted one that gives perfect satisfaction to the state inspectors and your, committee, as the following tests will show.


The building is divided on each floor in the centre by a partition, making six school rooms all having the same floor space, each con- taining an average of 1,338 cubic feet of air space with seats for fifty pupils. A forty-horse power improved tubular boiler has been placed in the cellar, supplying steam to six indirect radiators encased with galvanized iron, each containing 120 square feet of surface. From these heating chambers, which are located in the first story, are taken six rectangular galvanized iron pipes 32×20 inches, 30x20 inches, and 28x20 inches, to the first, second and third floors respec- tively, discharging into the rooms at a point eight feet above the


81


floor. The heating chambers are supplied with mixing dampers, and connected by pulleys and chains to each room so as to be operated by the teacher. Two cold air chambers in the basement supply freslı air through openings 42x44 inches. From these chambers large galvanized iron pipes connect with the heating chambers. The two recitation rooms are supplied with warm air by means of an indirect radiator incased in the same manner as the others, containing 48 and 72 square feet of surface respectively and supplied with cold air pipes and mixing dampers. In addition to the above, two direct radiators are placed in each of the six school rooms to supplement the indirect radiators in very cold weather if found necessary. Direct radiators are also placed in all the cloak rooms, entries and stair cases, so that the entire building is well warmed. As a means of removing the vitiated air from the rooms, a brick shaft having an eight-inch wall has been constructed, the inside dimensions of which are 5 feet, 8 inches, by 5 feet, 4 inches, and 61 feet high, from each of the six school rooms, and clustered about this stack are round galvanized pipes of 272 inches, 29 inches, and 314 inches, for the first, second, and third floors respectively. These lead to the cellar and there connect with the shaft at its base. In the shaft is a small furnace to heat the air, and thus cause a circulation in the rooms. The exhaust flues from the recitation rooms are 18x20 inches in diameter from the second and third floors respectively. A test of the rooms made by inspector J. H. L. Coon, showed the following results : The outer air being at 40º F. On the third floor there was a supply of 1,500 cubic feet of air per minute at a temperature of 82 ° F., and an exhaust of 1,700 cubic feet with a temperature at the outlet of 68 º F. On the second floor there was a supply of 1,850 cubic feet per minute at a temperature of 80 º F., and an ex- haust of over 1,900 cubic feet at a temperature of 68 º F., while the temperature of the room was 70º F. A smoke test of these rooms showed that the circulation was excellent. The first floor on first test did not show as satisfactory results, and the inspector ordered a change in the location of the pipes. After this was done the results were as satisfactory as either floor above. The committee have tested the temperature of the rooms a number of times during the winter with the outside air 10º F., and at zero, and found the temperature inside at 70º F., and rising at 7.30 in the morning.


82


From careful observation we feel warranted in asserting that the heating and ventilating will compare favorably with any building under the same conditions, and better than many others in towns that have expended larger sums of money.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


The Selectmen submit the following : -


At the beginning of our term of office, a claim was pending against the town, in which the claimant, Thos. L. Hynes, claimed one hundred dollars ($100) damage for injury to a horse, caused by defective highway. This claim was settled at a cost of fifty dollars ($50) which we thought for the interest of the town.


The appropriation for special police has not been drawn upon very heavily, as will be seen by turning to the Treasurer's report. We would recommend the sum of three hundred dollars ($300) for the same purpose the present year.


The appropriation for incidentals was overdrawn one hundred and forty dollars and twenty cents ($140.20).


The Lakeview Cemetery appropriation was also overdrawn six- ty-three cents (.63).


We recommend that the sum of one hundred and forty dollars and eighty-three cents ($140.83) be appropriated in addition to the regular appropriation, to cover these overdraws.


It will be necessary to transfer one thousand four hundred and fifty dollars ($1,450) from water account to interest account.


We recommend that the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) be appropriated for raising the road between the house of J. W. Par- menter and the Abel Glezen place, to be expended by the Superin- tendent of Streets.


We also recommend the following appropriations for the ensu- ing year.
