ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
chool ommitter
OF THE
TOWN OF SOUTH SCITUATE, January Ist, 1880.
REPORT.
In the discharge of the duties devolving upon them. the School Committee respectfully present to the Town their annual report for the year ending January 1st, 1880 :
The winter term of the schools, in session at the time of the last report, continued without change of instruction to its close, with results in the main satisfactory.
In the spring and subsequently, the Committee have been frequently met by the necessity of changing the location of. or employing new teachers, eleven changes in the corps of instructors having been made. To be able to say that all these changes have been productive of the best results is too much to hope. We can only say that we have used our best judgment in selecting such teachers as we could obtain, our object being to maintain the standing of our schools and improve them as much as possible.
In Districts Nos. 5 and 6, owing to the number of large scholars, and the expressed desire of many of the parents, male teachers have been employed for the winter term. We find that there is a growing desire among the people of this section, that the advantages of
38
a school for the larger scholars ought to be accorded them. How it can be done with economy, unless some of the schools are united, your Committee are unable to see, and such union will probably be met by the usual objection of the great distance some children would have to travel. Whether anything can be devised for the benefit of the Eastern Ward, in this regard, we leave for the consideration of the Town.
In District No. 7 the schools have been united for the present term. It would seem from the number of children, between five and fifteen years of age in this district, that two schools might be well filled.
We have noticed cases of quite frequent absence of some of the larger scholars, and falling off of the average attendance. Much of this is accounted for by the stringency of the times, many parents feeling that they need the assistance of their children whenever they can find them employment. We hope that the present brighter outlook will operate favorably, -that such cases will become more rare, and the average attendance be kept fully up to the standard of former years. We cannot urge too strongly the oft repeated call of committees for more constant attendance.
Last year, among the General Suggestions, we took occasion to speak of the variety of courses of study pursued by the different schools, and by the different scholars in those schools who ought apparently to be in the same grade ; also, the natural result of either idle- ness on the one hand or imperfect lessons on the other.
39
As a remedy. we suggested that some uniform system should be adopted, with a course of study so arranged that all the recognized elementary studies of our com- mon schools should have an appropriate place, and that each pupil should be required to pursue the said course, unless specially excused, when their mental condition or power, or some other circumstance, made such a course advisable.
Your Committee have endeavored to prepare a course of study for our schools, to meet the spirit of those suggestions and to take the place of the promiscuous system, or, rather, lack of system, heretofore prevalent. We are aware that we have not provided a place for all the subjects that the law requires our teachers to be prepared to teach, thinking that those omitted might be left as optional studies for those scholars whose mental ability is such that the course presented will not occupy all their time, or that they might be presented to the whole school in the form of general exercises.
It is yet too early to speak of results ; for, although our teachers have heartily co-operated with us in its introduction, yet the higher classes cannot immediately conform strictly to the course, and a proper gradation can only be reached by persistent effort, and a lapse of time sufficient for the growth of the lower classes into the system.
We herewith present an outline of the course, and bespeak the generous co-operation of the parents in our efforts to make it a success, believing that it will effect a much needed improvement in our schools.
40

Algebra and geometry may be pursued during the second and first grades by those pupils desiring so to do.
There may also be what might be termed an Advanced Grade, where pupils desirous of so doing may pursue the subjects already mentioned. to a greater extent than has been provided for, or such other subjects as they may select, from those allowed by state laws to be taught in the common schools. For the present such cases may perhaps be as well left to a mutual arrange- ment between teacher and pupil.
We have not thought it necessary to more than out- line the latter part of the course, leaving it for the teacher to gather the general plan and scope of the work to be performed from the remark introduced in the earlier part. Indeed, what observations are made are not to be considered in the light of directions, but as general results which we desire the. teacher to obtain by individual methods.
