HERBERT C. WELLS, Treasurer.
AUDITOR'S REPORT.
I have examined the books of the Town officers. Those. re- quiring bonds have given them. The bonds have been approved by the proper officers, and are on file. The Selectmen hold the correct vouchers for all orders drawn on the Treasurer.
Each account of the Treasurer is correct, and the proper vouchers on file for all money expended.
Benjamin M. Folsom, Treasurer of the Town of Wayland, died Jan. 21, 1893. Had he known that he would not live to complete this financial year, he could not have left his books in a better condition for this year.
The books of the Water Commissioners and Treasurer of Sinking Fund agree in all particulars with the savings bank books, and the balances of the several officers agree with the Selectmen and Town Treasurer's books for the year ending Feb. 28, 1893, excepting the Lakeview Cemetery account.
Please to notice the deficit in the trial balance. The same has been on the books for four years. I would recommend its removal by vote of the town. Make a special appropriation to cover it, or pass it into the Contingent Fund.

For the second time, within three years, death has entered the School Board. This time it has taken one whose name has for many years appeared in the annual report of the School Committee. The present members of the committee and those who, in previous years, were associated with Mr. B. M. Fol- som in caring for the schools are a unit in regarding him as very faithful and conscientious in all his duties. His experi- ence in school matters rendered him very capable of forming correct judgments, and in giving his opinion he was always very gentlemanly in his manner. He was thoroughly inter- ested in the intellectual and moral training of the children of the town.
TEACHERS.
The committee have endeavored to make the very best pos- sible selection of teachers. Many who have visited the schools during the year have expressed themselves as well pleased with the work being done. We have at the present time two brothers as principals of our schools, both of them college graduates. They are doing excellent work, are superior in their discipline, and are very careful in keeping the pupils from doing injury to town property. All the schools are supplied with competent teachers, who are very faithful in the perform- ance of their duties and highly successful in preserving good order in their schools. In all cases where the pupils have ap- plied themselves to their studies there has been commendable progress.
In many cases there are great barriers to progress in the matter of reading, arising from the fact that the pupils, in their homes, do not hear or speak the English language. In such cases it is utterly impossible to get a clear enunciation of cer- tain letters. We recommend parents to have their children use the language of the school when they are at home. It will be a great benefit to the child and greatly help the teacher.
There is a great necessity for more interest on the part of parents and friends, in visiting the schools. The registers of the lower grades show that the parents visit the schools during
68
the first few years of their children's education and then, when they advance to the higher grades, these visits cease, as if they were no longer required. It is quite certain if all those inter- ested in our public schools would visit the higher grades, that it would prove an incentive to the pupils to be prepared all the time, and would be an inspiration to teachers in the execution of their duties.
One of our greatest difficulties is the retaining first-class teachers for any great length of time, because the surrounding towns and cities, when they need teachers, select our best and offer them larger salaries. This has been the case several times during the last two years. While we have been grateful that some have refused such inducements and remained with us, there are others who have slipped away from us on this account whom we would gladly have kept in their places. In some in- stances the schools have sustained a great loss, and certainly, from the standpoint of economy, it is a course which no busi- ness man would pursue in his own private enterprise.
It has come to be a matter of expectation that our principals will remain only one year. The salary the committee are able to give with the present appropriation from the town makes it utterly impossible to secure an experienced teacher for the posi- tion. It becomes necessary, therefore, every time there is a change, to take a young man who has just graduated from col- lege or from one of our normal schools, and give him his first experience in conducting a school. In case he finds out he is a born teacher (and such only ought to remain in the profession ), and also finds out he can succeed in government, one of the most important qualities of a teacher, he at once lays his plans to secure a more remunerative position.
Some persons make very unjust comparisons between the pay of teachers and persons who are engaged in manual toil. The latter can begin to receive wages when they are fifteen years old, with no expense at all for their education, while a person following a professional life must, after passing through the high school, spend several years pursuing higher studies in a college course, and then, if he intends to be fully prepared for successful teaching in these times, he must also spend a few
69
years in normal training. Thus, in most cases, he will be between twenty-five and thirty years old before he has any income, and usually finds himself with several hundred dollars debt.
That some parents send their children to high schools of neighboring towns because the committee are obliged to secure new teachers every year, is not at all to the credit of the town, and, certainly, very much to the disadvantage of the pupils.
Within three years two principals have gone from our schools whom the committee would gladly have retained. They are now receiving $1,100 a year. Certainly a committee whom the town would elect would not be unwise and increase the salary if the man was unworthy ; but they certainly ought to be empowered with a provisional appropriation so that they could offer a very successful man an inducement to remain a second or third year. Some men would be a saving financially over some other men, even at $200 a year more, in protection to property, both inside and outside the school-house. Another reason why this should be a possibility is that a teacher who loves his work is worth a great deal more the second year than the first. One of the most frequent questions put to the school committee is, "Why didn't you keep that principal when you found him such a success ?" The answer, always the same, is, " Our money was not sufficient."
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
There is necessity for repairs on nearly every building. There is immediate demand for something to be done to the high-school building at Wayland. The State authorities gave orders a year ago for improvement in the method of heating and ventilating. The district school-houses require consider- able expenditure in whitewashing, painting, and repairing plaster and blackboards.
Some of them are dismal enough for a penal institution, instead of being made attractive as a place for intellectual train- ing. The grammar-school building at Cochituate ought to be painted without any further delay. To let it go any longer is
70
penny-wise and pound-foolish. The doors and blinds espe- cially are suffering for want of paint. Last year there was an appropriation of $200 for fences and school-house repairs. The committee found a great many more points where repairs were needed than they expected. If an appropriation for this purpose were made every year, then the floors, desks, doors, and other things could be repaired as soon as it seemed necessary, and thus considerable money could be saved.
GRADING AND CENTRALIZING.
All students of the methods of education in our public schools feel that from every consideration there is a demand that the district schools should be abolished. Every observer knows that far more successful results can be reached in a graded school. It is, therefore, a wiser outlay of money. The committee feels that at Wayland centre provision ought to be made for a building where a graded school could be estab- lished. It could easily be shown that from a financial stand- point the town would be better off in ten years. In all probability there will be better railroad facilities in a short time which will give a greater number of trains. Then the beautiful natural attractions, and such good accommodations for getting to Boston, are great inducements for families to come and settle in the town. This would decrease the taxes. At present the taxes are high. In addition to this the schools, as at present managed, do not furnish any incentive for people to come and settle in the town. To attract well-to-do people to a town for home-life it is absolutely necessary to have excellent school accommodation and a good system of teaching. There never was a period when it was so fitting to enter upon this improvement as the present time. Surrounding towns are having graded schools in the centres and conveying the children from the outlying districts. The four buildings in Wayland, two in the centre, and one each in the North and Rutter districts, all need to have considerable money spent upon them during the coming year, and without doubt the State Commissioners will soon compel large outlay of money,
71
which is certainly needed if the buildings are to be used for educational purposes. These expenses would go a great way towards putting up a new building with sufficient rooms for a properly graded school. This certainly seems the wisest course to adopt. There are a great many expenses arising from keep- ing these buildings in good order that few people think about. Almost every vacation there are some mischievous persons that commit depredations on the buildings in the North and Rutter districts that cause considerable expense which, if saved, would help to pay interest on any debt which a new school- house building might incur.
With the present number of scholars three teachers would be sufficient. There would thus be a saving of one teacher's salary and, of course, a saving in fuel and the care of this buildings. It would seem as though the saving on these lines would be nearly sufficient to pay for conveying the children to the centre.
Experience makes every generation debtor to its successor. Let us partly pay our debt by establishing for our children what now seems to be the best system of public education within our reach - centralized, well-graded schools with com- petent, well-paid teachers.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The committee has kept the expenses as close as possible and there is a larger balance in the fund for teachers and care of buildings ; but we feel that expenses may arise to require a greater outlay next year, so we recommend the same as last year, $5,700.
The committee, in last year's report, stated that the books in some of the schools were in such a mutilated condition that it would require a greater outlay. In addition to this, during summer vacation, the mice completely spoiled a good number of books, so that the expense for supplies has been very heavy. To keep up with absolutely necessary demands it will require an appropriation of $450.
There ought to be an appropriation of $200 for repairs, same as last year.
72
For appropriations on other matters presented in the report, the committee will leave it for recommendation by the finance committee appointed by the town.
