Mr. Philbrick, Superintendent of Public Schools in Boston, wrote as follows on this subject : -
There is great need of a Superintendent in all such towns
46
as yours. As regards their salaries, they range from one to two thousand dollars a year. Another good idea of his is, that two neighboring towns unite in employing a Superin- tendent. We therefore recommend it as the best method of conducting your schools, leaving it with you to decide whether you are willing to pay the extra sum, or forego its advantages.
THE CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS
at the present time, is very encouraging, not that they have made any remarkable or extraordinary progress, but even if they have "held their own," it should be encouraging ; for this last year has been one of unparalleled sickness among the scholars. The schools, especially those in the outskirts of the town, were very slimly attended during the first term ; in fact, we were obliged to close one for a week or more during that term. Others closed several single days, on account of the small number present. We are glad to say that the attendance during the other two terms was consider- ably better. But the records and the vacant seats are very discouraging to teachers, scholars, and all interested. The division of the town so reduced the number of scholars in the old " No. 7" district, that we closed the school after the first term; and do now pass over the school-house to the town, giving, as our opinion, that there will be no present need of it, and recommending that it be sold.
We were ready before the examinations, to give it as our opinion, that the schools were in a very good condition. Since then, we would change it only to add, that they far surpassed our expectations, and reflected great credit on both teachers and scholars.
We feel no hesitancy in challenging comparison with any . schools of equal grade.
In closing this part of our report there is a subject which we wish to speak of, yet the difficulty of so touching it that
47
we shall offend none, yet call the close attention to it of those to whom it applies, has led us into putting it off until the last. It is a great and an increasing evil; one that we can scarcely remedy, and in which the parents themselves can be of far more efficient service. We allude to the conduct of the children in going to and coming from our schools. When, as has been the case during the past year, citizens are unable to send their children to school on account of the vulgar and profane talk which they hear, and the destruction of their clothes, there is need of some decided action on the part of the parents of these children. While a great deal of care and attention is due from the teachers in this direction, yet the ones too often at fault are the parents, who allow their children to grow up in this way, and if there is any remedy for this evil, in the discipline at home is the proper place to apply it.
Here, too, leaving this topic, we would call the attention of the people to the proposed change in the numbering of the houses. At present we have houses numbered one, eight, ten, three, five and six. The simple change which we pro- pose making is to call the central houses, now numbered eight, number two, and change number ten to number four, which will give us a uniformity in the numbering. We think there is no action necessary in regard to this, but if there is, we recommend the town's taking the necessary action.
There is also a needed change in some of the text-books, especially in the Readers, which have been in the schools so long that both teachers and scholars are heartily tired of them. And in case there is no Superintendent chosen for the next year, we would recommend a revision of the by-laws of the schools as a thing that is of great importance. The " rules and regulations " which were made and printed some time ago, are antiquated, and utterly unknown to the present generation of teachers.
THE SCHOOL-HOUSES
themselves were in excellent condition at the beginning of
48
the present year, both the inside and out looking pleasant and cheering. While calling your attention to the fact that good-looking school houses are almost the first thing which strangers notice, and from which they usually draw conclusions as to the town and its inhabitants, we would urge upon you the necessity of keeping them in good repair. And in the belief that you will show the same generous spirit in regard to your schools during the next year, as you have so nobly done in the past, we would recommend the appro- priation of a separate sum of three hundred dollars for the sole purpose of repairs. For general school purposes we advise the following appropriations : -
Teachers' salaries,
$6,200 00
Care of houses,
400 00
Fuel,
450 00
Incidentals,
500 00
Special repairs,
300 00
$7,850 00
All of these recommendations have been made from close and careful computation, and in our opinion are necessary.
