REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
OF THE
TOWN OF ATTLEBOROUGH,
For the Year ending February 28, 1881.
49
ANNUAL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
In all our labors, and especially in preparing our annual report to the town, we are painfully conscious of the great loss we have sustained in the death of our most worthy and beloved chairman. His work for and in the schools was in no degree remitted until he was prostrated by his last illness, and almost his last expressed thought was of them.
We have labored through another year under the old but not venerable "District system" modi- fied from the pure type in one particular.
One year ago the town was pleased to withhold from the Prudential Committees the authority to contract with teachers, and to vest it in this board. This step narrows and intensifies educational respon- sibility, as we fully appreciate.
In this fact there should be assurance of greater efficiency. For the spring term we ratified the contracts made with teachers by the Prudential Committees. For the fall term some changes were made in the salaries, so as in our judgment to ren- der them more nearly commensurate with the
50
ANNUAL REPORT.
labor, care and responsibility involved. More changes of teachers have been made during the year, doubtless, than would ensue in any succeeding year under the present system, for the reason that the services of several during the last year were unsatisfactory, yet their schools were not such fail- ures as would, we thought, justify their summary dismissal.
Many of our teachers are familiar with the latest and best thought upon educational themes, and are eager to know and do the best; but all are not comprised in this class. The average teacher will instruct little better than he or she was in- structed. A prerequisite for success in this pro- fession is natural executive ability and aptness to teach, a fact, the importance of which many in the profession, who are succeeding but indifferently, greatly underestimate.
The common need of all who bear a part in educational work is the study and test of methods. In no department of our schools do the results appear to us so meager and unsatisfactory as in the primary. This, to a large extent, is a common ex- perience everywhere, from the fact that it requires gifts of adaptation more rare, and fertility of resources more ample, to interest and properly instruct in this department than in any other. The old methods are fast coming to be generally re- garded not only as extremely unnatural and in the same degree tedious, but also very inefficient; but
5 1
ANNUAL REPORT.
as yet comparatively few are prepared to take the "new departure" confidently and successfully. At least twenty-five of our teachers are doing more or less of this primary work, instructing from two or three, in some of the mixed schools, to fifty and even more in the graded ones.
Under the proper system-the Municipal-our primary scholars would all be brought into ten or twelve schools and a less number would probably suffice were the town territorially smaller.
More than two years ago the question of enlarging the Grammar School course came up for discussion by the Committee, and was considered from time to time until early this year, when a decision was arrived at and the course was enlarged.
This action eliminates from the High School course studies which have been pursued there a considerable part of the first year, and of course ne- cessitates the revision of the High School curricu- lum for the ensuing year.
In our schools as a whole we believe there has been no recent year's work so honest, thorough and practical as that just closed; but they are not all that they should be, nor will they become so, however favorable may be all other conditions, until parents better realize and discharge the re- sponsibilities which rest upon them.
With the ordinary student, nothing can take the place of a ready sympathy and active co-opera-
52
ANNUAL REPORT.
tion of parent and teacher in securing a steady loyalty and a deep and abiding interest.
We insist that it is the imperative duty of parents to visit often and to become familiar with the schools in which their children are daily form- ing habits of thought and moods of feeling that will tell powerfully for weal or woe upon their whole lives. In no other way can parents form intelligent and just opinions relative to the schools, and wield a potent influence in elevating them. Any school board, however constituted, would pay great defference to the opinions of intelligent and candid parents, who were habitual visitors of the schools.
One of the great obstacles to better success in our schools, is irregular attendance; and we can but think, that for much of it, parents are directly responsible. We hope that the per cent of attend_ ance for the year in the different schools, will be carefully noted and compared, with the view of detecting, if possible, the real causes of the dis- crepancy.
The attendance during the Spring and Fall terms, was, we think, taking all things into consi- deration, quite creditable.
The very severe winter, and an unusual amount of sickness among the scholars, caused the attend- ance for the winter term, to be greatly reduced. The Fall term in district 20, (Hebronville) was cut short three weeks on account of the prevalence of scarlet fever among the pupils. Three schools
53
ANNUAL REPORT.
were closed from one to three weeks for a like reason during the winter term, and nearly all were considerably broken up. Last year we recom- mended that an appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars should be made for the district schools; hoping that with the additional thousand derived from the "dog fund" and from the State, they might be continued thirty-seven weeks. We have been disappointed. Our school year has been but thirty six weeks. In districts one, five and eighteen, a new school has been opened during the year, necessitating in each district, enlarged accommo- dations. District one has erected a new and very admirable building with the most approved appli- ances. District five has made a substantial addition to its building, nearly doubling its capacity. Dis- trict eighteen has utilized the academy building.
It is already evident that new schools must be opened during the ensuing year, and to support them thirty seven weeks, (less than the average school year throughout the State) will require, besides the "dog fund," sixteen thousand dollars; and we think the appropriation certainly should not fall short of that sum.
The schools in districts eighteen, fifteen and eleven, were continued one week upon local funds.
If we mistake not, the teachers and pupils in our High Schools, have wrought together in fuller sympathy and with an unwonted interest and ardor productive of unusual success.
54
ANNUAL REPORT.
Unfortunately, Mr. Tiffany, the principal of the East school, was compelled by illness, to sus- pend his labors during most of the winter term; yet, under the management of Miss Helen W. Metcalf, ably assisted by Miss Alice D. Graham, the school accomplished more than it was reason- able to expect
The appropriation for these schools was four thousand dollars; and with it we have been able to pay the back debts, continue them thirty-eight weeks (the term will close March 4th) and still have a surplus.
Let no one fail to note the attendance in these schools during the year and its significance.
We recommend that the appropriation for the High Schools, be. three thousand five hundred dollars.
