have been occupied with their studies, and they have prized the privileges and opportunities of the School Room.
The High School in East Randolph, the Grammar School in Dist. No. 8 have been models of their kind. The same praise we can unhesitatingly award to others, both of the Intermediate and Primary grades.
We cannot say that our Schools have all been equally good. There have been some comparative failures. These however have been few, and may be traced to a diversity of causes-the inexperience of the teacher- a spirit of insubordination and disorder in the School- or to fault-finding and meddlesome persons in the dis- trict. The success of a teacher may depend in great measure on causes out side of the School House.
We would urge upon parents the importance of teaching their children to respect the office and author- ity of the teacher. A teacher represents in the School the parent. The same kind of reverence and submis- sion should be paid to a teacher as to a parent. Ques- tions that encourage the scholar to give his opinion of a teacher, or to express his likes and dislikes, are inju- rious to the character of the child and tend to hinder the teacher.
In order that our Schools may accomplish all that they are adapted to do, there must be co-operation of various kinds, on the part of the parents. Parents should visit the Schools. Such visits have a great ef- fect. Scholars are proud to have a parent present when they recite. They are aroused and stimulated. Our · teachers have expressed disappointment and regret that so few visit their Schools during the year. Parents should make themselves known to teachers and confer with them respecting their children. This would often
45
prevent trouble. In case of any serious difficulty an interview should be had at once with the teacher.
There are two great evils in most of our Schools. Tardiness and frequent absence. A tardy scholar loses the time that ought to be given to the study of a les- son ; he loses the lesson and gets behindhand and dis- couraged. The same is true in a greater degree of an absent scholar. The statistics previously given will 'show the great loss to our Schools in these respects.
Whole number of Scholars in our Schools, 1291.
Average number absent cach day, 288.
Average number absent each day from each School, 13.
Rank of Randolph in the State, in respect to average attendance upon Schools, 125.
It is evident that parents. lose by these absences pro- portionably the time and service of the teacher.
Regularity of attendance will tend to inspire in the breast of a child love for his School. Let him never stay at home and he will never want to stay at home. Send him faithfully to school and he will come to pre- fer during school hours the school house to any other place.
It is also of high importance to the young, irre- spective of school privileges, that they be trained to habits of promptitude and regularity.
The advantages of gradation in our school system manifest themselves more and more fully from year to year. Greater thoroughness in the first principles and elements of education is thus secured, and a basis laid for valuable progress in the higher studies. The studies of each grade should be fully mastered before the pupil advances to a higher one. Not infrequently scholars are anxious for promotion to the Grammar or High
48
School, when such promotion would be an injury rather than an advantage. In these schools the standard should be as high as practicable, and rigidly main- tained.
Sometimes in a school one study overbalances the rest. The teacher encountering difficulties in one branch will turn to another and give prominence to it to the neglect of others. We think that on the whole this evil has been avoided in our schools, and that a due proportion has been observed. We attach great im- portance to Reading and Geography. We attach still · greater importance to Arithmetic and Grammar. Thesc constitute the tests of a school. The Arithmetic classes and also those in higher mathematics in the High School have we think excelled.
Singing has been a very. attractive feature of our schools. We regard it as an important element in edu- cation-not only as an accomplishment, but in its influ- ence on the moral feelings of the children. It is an auxiliary to the teacher often in quieting a restless school, and promoting a healthy and cheerful spirit. We trust that all parents will encourage it, and that we shall soon find it in all our schools, as we were so much gratified to find it in some.
We cannot close our Report without calling the at- tention of the Town to the unsuitable character of the room in which the Primary School in Dist. No. 2 is held. It is not a fit place for a school. To continue the school in it will be to the disgrace of the Town. As a matter of economy it will be for the interest of the Town to enlarge the School House in that District. The annual rent paid for the room now used is greater than would be the interest on the sum needed to make the necessary addition.

We would earnestly urge upon the Town the nc- cessity of increasing the appropriation for the support of Schools.
A number of our best teachers have been in our schools, several years. Their experience and knowledge of the schools are of great value to the Town. Their wages are less than in former years and we shall lose them unless their pay be increased. By substituting in their places new or inexperienced teachers, our schools would sustain great loss.
We trust that the Town will consider this matter, as its importance demands.
The rank of Randolph, in the State, in respect to the comparative amount of money appropriated for Schools, is 143.
Do. in County, 18.
It was our intention to keep our expenditures within the appropriation of the Town. We were obliged how- ever to incur extra expense in establishing an additional School in Dist. No. 8-there being a larger number of scholars than could be accommodated in the Schools already existing there. The excess beyond this extra expense is not large.
