TOWN OF SOMERVILLE,
TOGETHER WITH A LIST OF THE
TAXES ASSESSED,
For the Year 1857-8.
BOSTON: WILLIAM WHITE, PRINTER, 4 SPRING LANE. 1858.
REPORT.
FELLOW-CITIZENS :- The School Committee present the following statements and "suggestions," as the Annual Report required by law, for 1857-8.
Accepting the trust with a single desire to discharge its duties successfully, the School Committee have attempted during the year to conduct the schools as economically as possible, and still meet the just demand for educational privileges. They have endeavored to avoid the two extremes of wasteful extravagance and petty meanness. No unusual repairs have been made, no salaries have been increased, and no more teachers have been employed than have been necessary. And for every dollar necessarily expended, the Committee have intended to get the money's worth in value -the true idea of economy.
In accordance with the vote of the town instructing the School Committee to choose a Superintendent of Schools, Rev. G. H. Emerson, a member of the Board, was chosen, at a salary of $300 a year, (including his services as Secre- tary of the School Committee, also,) and he has since per- formed the duties of the office. The appointment was for one year ; and the term of service will expire on the 15th day of May next.
The vote of the town relative to a new Primary School- house, near the Glass Factory, occasioned the Committee much perplexity. After much deliberation, it was finally determined, in lieu of purchasing land and erecting a new building, to secure the needful temporary accommodations by making an alteration, or enlargement, of the Prospect Hill School-house. This was done at an expense of $600. The
4
appropriation, which would not have sufficed for land and building, was $1,750. A saving of $1,150 in a year of heavy expenditures, by doing something which would need to be done at some other time, and postponing the erection of a school-house for a year or two, will probably command the general approval of tax-payers, at least.
The Prescott School-house, which was in progress at the commencement of the year, was completed under the direc- tion of the Building Committee, (Messrs. Bennett, Guild, Emerson, and Knight,) so as to be ready for occupancy in September last. It was dedicated with appropriate exer- cises. For neatness, comfort, convenience, adaptation to its object, and economy of construction, it is a model building ; and great credit is due to those who had charge of the con- struction. The amount expended, in the construction account, was about $14,600 ; a sum somewhat larger than the original and additional appropriations. But the positive instructions of the town to the School Committee to " build a brick school-house to accommodate five hundred pupils," left neither this nor the last Board any choice in the prem- ises. They have simply complied with these instructions, and confined the expenditures as nearly as practicable to essentials.
A pressing need for a more thorough codification of the " Regulations of the Public Schools" early engaged the attention of the Board. A new code was accordingly pre- pared, printed, and distributed to the schools. A few changes in the prescribed text-books seemed advisable, and were therefore carefully made, with probable advantage to the pupils. The age necessary for admission to school was fixed at five, instead of four years, for reasons obvious to all, and in accordance with the spirit of a new school-law of the State. (St. 1857, ch. 132.)
The whole number of persons between the ages of five and fifteen years, in Somerville, in May, 1857, was twelve hundred and sixty-two, an increase of sixty-four over the
5
previous year. The whole number of different pupils reg- istered in all the schools, during the half year ending Feb- ruary 27, 1858, was thirteen hundred and fifty-nine; the number of pupils belonging to the schools at the end of the term, was eleven hundred and fifty-two, and the average attendance was nine hundred and seventy-eight. The attend- ance was then seventy-seven per cent. of the whole number of school children, and seventy-two per cent. of the scholars registered, and only eighty-four per cent. of the closing number of pupils. As the schools included more pupils over fifteen years of age than attend private schools under that age, this low percentage, though higher than in former years, is not very creditable to our population. Somerville stands the seventh town in the State, in pro rata appropria- tion upon each child, and the third in percentage appropria- tion according to valuation ; but the one hundred and sixty- sixth in attendance ! One or more instances have recently come to the knowledge of the Committee, of the employment of school children by manufacturing companies, contrary to the provisions of the statutes, for which such companies are rendered legally liable.
