ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1891.
41
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Inhabitants of Randolph :
At the close of another financial year, your Committee are reminded of their indebtedness to you for their annual report.
It will be apparent to every one that the work to be done in the department of education requires a great amount of patient labor. Being of the utmost importance, it should re- ceive the cordial and enthusiastic support of every individual in our town, more especially the parents of the children who are to be educated in our public schools. In order to ob- tain the very best results, the teachers should be sustained by the parent in every good and important regulation which is being introduced into our schools for the benefit of the pupils. We are well aware that the training of the young and tender mind in its first attempts in grasping little things and simple ideas in our primary department is a position of great responsibility. The teacher who occupies that place, and is day by day watching the youthful mind in its growth, should be aware of the responsible position in which she is placed, and should realize that the foundation of the pupil's education is to be laid in the primary department. Such teachers should be sustained by Committee and parents in every attempt in the right direction in the struggle to fit the pupil to advance to a higher grade in our schools. Parents do not at all times assist and encourage their children in their studies and in making the most of each and every day's work in school.
42
Parents do not appear to be sensible of the importance of children attending school punctually. If a child is detained at home a day, or even one half of the day, each week, he loses his place in his class. Can it be expected his class will wait for him, and thus all lose an equal amount of time ? Is the instructor expected to come to his assistance by giv- ing him an extra amount of time ? The teacher's time should be divided equally among the pupils. If a pupil is an habit- ual truant, he loses his place in his class, his lessons become more and more wearisome, his studies become distasteful, and he drops from school altogether, and manhood finds him in the world without an education.
During the long vacation the Committee decided to con- solidate the schools in the Prescott Primary and Prescott Grammar, there being seven schools in both buildings. By uniting the schools, we could dispense with one teacher. The Committee voted that the youngest teacher in service in town should be the one to be dismissed. Miss K. E. Kiley was dismissed, although she was highly recommended by the Committee. Miss S. J. McGaughey was elected to take charge of the vacated room.
DRAWING.
This branch of study is being taught by the teachers in their several rooms, as no special instructor in drawing has been employed this present school year.
MUSIC.
No teacher in this branch has been employed this year, yet music has been taught in all the schools in town, and singing is heard in every schoolroom.
PATRIOTISM.
The legislature of 1890 passed an act that hereafter in all
43
the public schools of the commonwealth the last session of school prior to Memorial Day should be devoted to exercises of a patriotic nature.
We are happy to inform the inhabitants of Randolph that the requirements of the law have been complied with.

The income of which is to pay for medals to the most de- serving graduates.
At the close of the school year the graduating exercises were held in Stetson Hall, Friday, June 26, 1891, and di- plomas were presented to the following : -
FOUR YEARS' COURSE.
Elizabeth Arnold Belcher. Cora Augusta Day.

The Turner medals were awarded to the valedictorian, Miss Amy Howard Wales, and the salutatorian, Miss Eliza- beth A. Belcher.
At the opening of the school year, September 8, 1891, there were enrolled 73 pupils, of whom 68 now remain in the school. The teachers remain the same as last year, Mr. Hugh J. Molloy, A.M., principal, and Miss May L. Knowlton, A.B., and Miss Isabel M. Breed, A.B., as as- sistants, and with such able instructors the high standard of the school has been sustained. During the year the building was painted on the outside, and connection made whereby the hall could be partly heated from the furnaces used to heat the schoolrooms, and the trustees have not ex- ceeded the appropriation for the same.
In order to maintain the school in its present condition, the trustees ask for the sum of $2200 and the bank tax which the school has received heretofore.
