ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee make an exception, this year, to the usual custom of presenting the Report of the Superintendent of Schools as the Annual Report of the Board; and, in accordance with a vote passed at the December meeting, respectfully present the following as the Annual Report for the year 1888.
The School Committee, by the City Charter, is entrusted with · the care and management of the Public Schools.
The City Council, appreciating the importance of this trust, have appropriated one third of the entire tax levy for its main- tenance, and they are justified in expecting results equally gener- ous and correspondingly satisfactory.
As a report of the management of this trust, we take pride in presenting the present condition of the schools throughout the city, with the hope that the citizens will not only read the printed reports of theories and tabulated facts, but will visit the schools, and, from personal knowledge, be able to advise and co-operate with the Committee in their improvement.
All the departments of our growing city are in the midst of .. important changes. The spirit of the age, that demands such improvements as the electric light, the police signal system, and improved convenience for travel and communication for the city, is equally exacting in the line of school work. Methods, mate- rial, and conditions are the subjects of constant thought and trial, with a view to better results by a wise and more economical expenditure of the valuable time and energy of school life.
The old is constantly called upon to give way for the new. To many the old is precious from association and experience. Con- servatism and economy, with the teachers as well as among the citizens, hold tenaciously to old methods and material, that have served their own purpose so well, and listen with incredulity to any plans that suggest change, even for improvement.
