GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
All the schools of this grade have had the services of the same teachers throughout the entire year, and all but one were in charge of the same teachers previously. At the close of the fall term in '83, Miss Martha W. Brooks resigned the charge of No. 5, and Miss Mary Sparrell was elected to fill the vacancy. With teachers so long tried, we need only refer you to what has been said in pre- vious reports concerning the progress of their schools, for it has been in the same general direction.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the close of the winter term all the schools were examined with oral questions, not only those found in the text-books, but also by questions bearing upon the subject under consideration which were not in the text-book, in order to test, in some degree, the pupil's ability to apply the knowledge gained from the book to the solution of numerous questions that may arise in his daily life. While we do not expect that such questions will be answered readily always, we were pleased to note frequently an apt apprecia- tion of the inquiry, and an evident application of mental power, which brought forth an intelligent, and, in the main, a correct answer.
In some of the schools, compositions, recitations, and singing were interspersed among the other exercises, much to the pleasure of the visitors, as well as to the profit of the pupils.
During our ordinary visitations also, we have endeavored to keep
46
acquainted with the progress of the schools, and feel that a great degree of interest is manifested in school work, and satisfactory progress is being made.
IRREGULAR ATTENDANCE.
And must this subject find a place in every report ? inquires the reader. Certainly it ought until it is reduced to the minimum. Irregularity manifests itself in two forms. One is the practice of entering or leaving school during the term. During the winter term the average number belonging was 94 per cent. of the number enrolled ; during the summer term, 90 per cent. ; during the fall term, 91 per cent. ; a loss of 6, 10, and 9 per cent. from this cause alone.
The other form is occasional absence while members of the school. From this cause the loss during the winter term was 17 per cent. ; summer term, 14 per cent. ; fall term, 10 per cent., mak- ing an actual loss upon the number enrolled of 22, 23, and 19 per cent. respectively. This indicates a loss of between 21 and 22 per cent. for the entire year, or over one-fifth. We do not think that the irregular attendance is worse the past year than in many pre- vious years. On the contrary, we think, considering the amount of sickness among children the past year, that the showing is above the average.
Can you wonder that classes become disorganized ? What a constant warfare must the teacher be engaged in to preserve even a semblance of organization; holding back the constant attendant and crowding forward the absentee, till one becomes dishearteued by constant repetition, and the other discouraged by lack of knowl- edge of what is so hastily passed over or omitted altogether. Parents, would you permit such irregularity in the performance of tasks that you require of your children, chiefly for your benefit ? Do you not often regret the neglected opportunities of your schooldays ? How can you then permit such irregularity and inattention to those things you know to be for their benefit, and for which they will hold you responsible in the future ?
GENERAL REMARKS.
Within the last few years, you have made liberal provision for your schools in the way of school buildings. They are ample to
47
accommodate the number of pupils likely to occupy them for sev- eral years. With an appropriation sufficient to defray the expense, and a corps of competent teachers, we see no reason why the schools should not prosper, if you take that degree of interest in them that their importance demands. We are apt to think that improvements in methods of teaching, improved text books, a more liberal provision for means of illustration, all conspire to make it less necessary for the child to attend school as many years as formerly. We forget that variety of knowledge and breadth of culture keep pace with advance in other respects. If we wish to keep our place in the progress toward a higher civilization, more time rather than less should be given to laying the foundations broad and firm. Give your children all the time you can to unfold and develop their mental and physical powers. Force them not to bear the stern realities of maturer life till, if possible, physical endurance and mental culture shall give promise of a life replete with health and abounding in happiness.
Respectfully submitted,
EBENEZER T. FOGG, EMILY T. JACOBS, FRANKLIN JACOBS.

THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS
OF
SOUTH SCITUATE,
For the Year 1886.
BOSTON : ALFRED MUDGE & SON, PRINTERS, No. 24 FRANKLIN STREET. 1887.
THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OF SOUTH SCITUATE,
FOR THE YEAR 1886.
REMOVING SNOW.
The selectmen have drawn orders on the treasury for $574.37, $210.07 of the same being paid on account of removing snow pre- vious to March last.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS, AND EXTRA REPAIRS.
By a vote of the town $1,700 was placed in the hands of the several surveyors, and $500 in the hands of the selectmen for extra repairs. The surveyors have expended in ordinary repairs since March last, $1,655.01 ; but on account of the severe freshet in Feb- ruary last, and since our last ro port, it became necessary, on account of the dangerous condition of our streets, to expend in the several districts, $352.68 ; and to add the amount paid later for repairs of Barstow's, Pine Street, and bridge near South Street, will make the cost to the town on account of the freshet, $522.66, Hanover having paid its full share of the expense for the repairs of the bridges between the two towns. There has also been expended, on account of repairs on Cedar Street, as by orders of the County Commis- sioners, and for the widening of a section of Summer Street, $102.52. $100 was appropriated for these improvements. Total amount ex- pended on roads, bridges, gravel, etc., $2,426.93.
TOWN HALL.
The town appropriated $500 for alterations or improvements in the Town Hall and lot. The lot has been graded, a line of fence built, a new well sunk, an outbuilding erected, and the gal- lery fitted into a supper-room, to which has been added a new
4
stove and furniture, and now it seems to be very convenient for the purpose for which it is intended. The cost for these improvements. including care of the hail, fuel, and lighting the same, is $481.96.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
The almshouse has continued the past year under the charge of C. IJ. Williston and wife, who have given good satisfaction. There are now eleven inmates in the house, one having §died during the year, namely, Mary Ford. The cost of support for the year has been $1,142.40, $169.12 less than last year.
The cost for partial support of outdoor poor the past year has been $1,605.98. By deducting $348.81, paid on account of poor belonging to other towns or the State, it will leave the net cost to this town. $1,257.17, compared with $1,676.97 paid in 1885.
In the suit brought against the city of Boston on account of bills paid for support of Alice V. Glover, the Superior Court at the last term gave judgment in favor of this town for our bill, with interest and costs.
In another suit brought against the town of Stoughton, for sup. port of and burial of Mary A. Talbot, the case was opened at the last term of court, and after an examination of the witnesses, Judge Brigham ordered the case sent to the Supreme Court, on a report of the existing facts.
Governor vote in South Scituate November last : Oliver Ames, ofEaston, 118 ; John F. Andrew, of Boston, 75 ; J. J. Lothrop, of Taunton, 14. Representative vote in the Third Plymouth District : George H. Bates, of South Scituate, 65 ; John J. Ford, of Scit- uate, 363 ; Roland Turner, of Scituate, 396.
About twenty-five years ago the towns of Scituate, Hanover, and South Scituate each appropriated a sum of money to defray the expense of transcribing a portion of the old records of the town of Scituate. The work was done under the super- vision of the late Perez Simmons, Esq., and the manuscript re- mained in his hands until his decease. During the past year this has been substantially bound, each town paying an equal share of the cost ; and at a meeting of the selectmen of the several towns, it was agreed that the books be retained at the office of the town clerk in this town. They are not allowed to be removed from the office, but to be kept there for examination and reference. These records are written up to within five years of the time when
5
this town was set off from Scituate, and we suggest the propriety of having copied and bound the few years now omitted, to make our own records complete.
