charge of Mrs. Hattie A. Tilden ; fall term in care of Miss Grace F. Hatch. No. 7, Grammar and Primary Schools were taught by Miss Emily E. Sylvester and Charlotte E. Winslow.
APPROPRIATION AND MANNER OF EXPENDITURE.
Your Committee suggested in their last annual report to reduce the school appropriation of $2.900, which was voted the preceding year, to $2,750, for the support of schools the ensuing year. An appropriation of a like sum will be sufficient for the present year, if the same school system is adopted. The salaries of the teachers were as follows : -
Grammar grade for teachers of experience. $36 per month ; inex- perienced, $32 ; mixed, $28 and $26 ; primary, $24 and $22. It has been our rule to make a distinction of salaries in all grades, be- teen experienced and inexperienced teachers. The consolidated schools in Districts No. 2 and 5 wore exceptions to the other grades ; as we have stated, the schools in District No. 2 were combined in the spring, No. 5 in the fall. For the spring term the teacher received $:26 per month ; subsequently, at a meeting of the Com- mittee, it was deemed best to increase the salary to $40 per month. The character of the schools being more diversified, they necessa- rily demanded much care and labor. The expenditures for the care of rooms and fuel are tabulated in the last part of this report.
CONDITION OF SCHOOLS.
The close of the school year of 1886 finds the public schools of South Scituate in a condition believed to be not inferior to that of previous years, and with few exceptions have been under efficient management and made good improvement ; vet we do not regard them as having reached the highest standard of excellence. They are not what'we wish them to be. what it is believed they can le under a diff rent system. In all schools it is practicable that cach school shall be composed of scholars of nearly the same attain- ments. How shall this be accomplished? We answer, by sys- tematically grading (ur schools. In all cities and towns every effort has been made, and is being made, for more perfect grading and more systematic teaching. The subject demands a thorough consideration. It will awaken a spirit of earnestness and zeal. which will lead each pupil to strive for higher attainments. One great hindrance to the advancement of our schools at the present
41
time is the large number of classes to be heard daily, which makes it impossible to give them such thorough instruction as they need. As we do not intend in this report to criticise the general manage- ment of our schools, or of every branch which is taught, yet we have cause to complain of the reading in too many instances ; the rapid manner, the indistinct utterance, the careless pronunciation of words, have been very noticeable ; the position of scholars while reading, in too many instances, has not been correct.
We do not intend to be understood that all are poor readers ; on the contrary, there are some good readers, who read naturally and intelligibly. As an accomplishment alone, reading has strong claims to careful attention. It is of great importance that children should be trained from the start to clear and correct teaching. If nothing but the mere elements are taught. they should be taught accurately and well. All foundations should be well laid and the primary schools lie at the very foundation of our educational sys- tem. Our schools were benefited, we trust,¿byja visit from Mr. Martin, an agent of the State Board of Education. The time was spent in inquiring into the state of the schools, examining the pupils, seeing how the teachers did their work, and rendering val- uable assistance by question, by suggestion, and by kindly criti- cism ; he then appointed an afternoon for the purpose of meeting the committee and teachers. Nearly all availed themselves of the opportunity ; they secmed thoroughly in earnest to gain new ideas, to adopt any new method recommended, and bring it to the practi- cal test of the school-room. Such visits are productive of much good, and we hope to have more of them.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The school buildings in Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are in good condition. There should be repairs made in Districts Nos. 4 and 7, and we recommend that the school building in No. 7 be painted, and respectfully ask for an appropriation of $75 at the next annual meeting. At the last aunual meeting, an appropria- tion of $100 was made for painting the school buildings in Dis- triet No. 2. The work was done in an acceptable manner by Mr. T. A. Lawrence during the summer vacation. The cost of the work will be found in the selectmen's report.
To the citizens of South Scituate your committee submit the following for their careful consideration.
42
It has been our earnest desire to make a change in our school system, and we cannot forbear to express the conviction, which is growing stronger from year to year, that the best interests of the town demand a High School. We are not by law obliged to main- tain one ; but let it be the free action of a liberal people. The elevating influence of such a school will be felt in all parts of the town. It will give a stimulus to every other school. It will awaken a feeling of energy and ambition among our pupils which no other system can create. Is it to elevate a school to keep the greater part from rising? But remove from the schools the advanced classes, and place them with others of similar attainments in a school by themselves, and both those that remain and those that are removed will be greatly benefited, and in this way the schools will be elevated. It is our ambition to have as good schools as can be found elsewhere ; could we make them the best, we should think it our duty to do so. The accommodations for a High School are very good. The school buildings in Districts Nos. 1, 2, 5, and 7 have ample room, and are conveniently located. For instance : let the school be taught for one year in No. 7, transport the ad- vanced scholars from the other districts to this school at the town's expense ; the following year in No. 5 ; and so continue until all have equal advantages.
We sincerely hope that the friends of education will be deeply interested in this matter. Let us have a High School at home, and not be under the necessity of sending our children to Rock- land, Hingham, and Hanover to be educated. Let us arouse up, and have a realizing sense of the responsibilities we are under to the generation that is growing up. Because a few out of the whole have the means of educating their children, shall that be our reason for decrying a High School? There are just as many scholars now as in the past, who will gladly avail themselves of an opportunity for a higher education, if it is placed within their reach. Let us all exert our best influence by giving to the question our cheerful, earnest, and united support, as a good education is the best legacy which we can leave our children.
Respectfully submitted,

BOSTON : ALFRED MUDGE & SON, PRINTERS, NO. 24 FRANKLIN STREET. 1888.
THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OF SOUTH SCITUATE,
FOR THE YEAR 1887.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
By a vote of the town, $2,000 was raised to be placed in the hands of the surveyors for ordinary repairs, and $500 in the hands of the selectmen for extra repairs ; of this sum, $117.08 bas been allowed to the surveyors for extra labor in their districts.
EXTRA REPAIRS.
The freshet in January last washed away a portion of the bridge on Pine Street, and also overflowing and causing a wash-out on Central Street, near Mill Brook, but the road has, we think, now been raised sufficiently to prevent another such occurrence.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
The almshouse has continued the past year under the charge of C. H. Williston and wife, and we believe those under their charge can have no cause for complaint. They are supplied with good food and comfortable clothing, and, without doubt, have a better home than many of our out-door poor.
There has been paid for full and partial support to out-door poor, including those at Taunton Hospital and Bridgewater Asylum, $1,840.39. There is due from towns and the State for aid fur- nished, $322.90. By deducting amount paid in settlement with Weymouth, on account of Frank N. Stoddard and family, for aid in 1884, it will leave the cost, $1,410.72. We have allowed and paid to town treasurer, from the income of the Otis and Coffiu
4
funds, on account of worthy poor, $126, leaving net cost to the town, $1,284.72.
An order of notice has been received from the county commis- sioners relative to the widening of Grove Street, as by petition of Daniel D. Sprague and others, and the subject will be laid before you at the annual meeting in March next.
GUIDE-BOARDS.
The selectmen, in accordance with the vote of the town, and in compliance to the law, have caused new posts and boards to be erected throughout the town Many of the old boards were found to be wilfully and maliciously destroyed, and unfit for use. By Sect. 76, Ch. 203, of the Public Statutes, "Whoever wilfully or maliciously destroys, mars, or defaces a guide-board or sign- board shall be punished by imprisonment in the j'ail. not exceeding six months, or by fine, not exceeding fifty dollars."
UNION BRIDGE.
By an examination of the bridge, made by the selectmen of this town and Marshfield, it was considered to be unsafe for public travel. Many of the piles were found to be of little support, and the bridge gradually sinking down, and it was decided to immedi- ately cause necessary repairs to be made. The old piles were al- lowed to remain, and about twenty new ones driven to a solid foundation and properly secured, together with such other repairs as seemed necessary to make it safe through the winter. A small amount more expended there in the spring will complete the neces- sary repairs for the present. This bridge has been built not far from ninety years, and some of the old piles were found to be nearly as good as when first placed there. There will probably need to be a new top in a few years, as it is now nearly twenty years since the present one was built.
