ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


OF THE


TOWN OF WILLIAMSBURG


FOR THE


YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1898


REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


For the Financial Year Ending March 7, 1898.


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


We herewith respectfully submit our annual report for the year ending March 7, 1898. It includes the report of the Superintendent of Schools, Music at Haydenville, and of the Truant Officer.


FINANCES.


It is impossible to make an exact estimate at the beginning of a year, of actual expenses for the year.


In the desire to economize, the tendency is to retain books after they have become unfit for use. This year the accu- mulated result of that tendency has made necessary a larger expenditure for books than usual.


The Geographies, both. Elementary and Grammar were in such a state of decay that it was impossible to use them any longer and they have been exchanged for new ones.


Among other extra expenses this year was the maintenance of one extra school at Haydenville. The Second Primary room has been condemned for school purposes, due to lack of light and improper ventilation, and with a membership of sixty your Committee deemed it best for the health and best


23


24


interest of pupils to separate this grade. A room and teacher was hired for the remainder of the school year. At the beginning of this school year, or fall term, by regrading our schools we did away with the extra room, yet we found it necessary to retain the extra teacher, as an assistant in the High, being obliged to put the Grammar grade into that room. The High school course at Williamsburg has been extended one year, as recommended by your committee last year and petitioned for by the citizens of that part of the town. This made necessary an assistant in this room and the fitting up of a recitation room. The expense of these few items is greater than the outstanding bills.


SEARSVILLE.


Your committee thought it economy and for the best interest of pupils to close this room for the winter and trans- fer the small number of pupils to the centre. This room will be reopened at the beginning of the Spring term.


RECOMMENDATIONS.


We find that our teachers leave us and go to other towns, not because of more pay per week but because of a greater number of weeks in the school year, and it is unanimous with the committee to ask the town to appropriate funds sufficient to maintain our schools for thirty-six weeks and we recommend the following appropriations :


Schools, Superintendent, Supplies,


$4,000 00


370 00


400 00


Repairs,


200 00


CONCLUSION.


While economy in all public work is a matter of vital importance and extravagance in the use of public money is always to be condemned, we believe the citizens of Williams-


25


burg are in favor of a progressive school management ; that you wish to hold us-the committee-to that standard and that we in turn should hold the Superintendent and teachers to the same standard and we ask you to cooperate with us in securing this result.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


To the School Committee of Williamsburg.


GENTLEMEN :- The annual report of the schools in the district and town for the past year is herewith presented for your consideration. The schools of the district, with very few exceptions, have been good and while no great changes have been made yet there has been a very desirable improve- ment in some directions. It is encouraging to note the in- creased desire of the pupils to obtain a more extended education than can be given them in the common schools. It requires constant vigilance on the part of superintendent and committee to insure that the work done shall be kept up to former standards and be made to improve whenever the conditions will admit of it. There is a certain point beyond which it is difficult to advance the standard in common schools, and this point is generally determined by the inter- est, generosity and intelligence of the public. The condi- tions necessary for securing the best results may be enume- rated briefly as follows-Skilled and faithful supervision. Employment of experienced and professionally trained teachers. Committees acquainted with the school system and in sympathy with the endeavors of the Commonwealth to improve it. Generous appropriations. Suitable buildings. Exercise of the utmost care in the selection of teachers. Con- fidence in the honesty and ability of school officers. The town complying most nearly with the above conditions will have the most successful schools, while to neglect any one of them may cause harm and a waste of money. It seems that a town in its provisions for the schools ought to pay attention


26


27


to the wishes of the State as expressed by its ablest and most experienced legislators and educators, and act in harmony with them, especially when we consider that it has donated $600,000 the past year for aid to poorer towns and in assisting the schools in other ways.


WILLIAMSBURG SCHOOLS.


As the town has wisely retained most of its former teachers the work in the schools, as a rule, has moved along uninter- ruptedly and the results are good. There have been several conditions that have interfered with the work as planned for the year and which have tended to make the general results somewhat less satisfactory than in years immediately preced- ing. These adverse conditions may be summarized thus -


Insufficient appropriations.


Inadequate and unsuitable


school rooms. Prevalence of sickness. The starting of the


button manufactory. While the town has generally re- sponded quite willingly to the requests of the committee for appropriations, yet there is so large a number who oppose any increase of taxation for the aid of schools so strongly that the committee often feel compelled not only to exercise the most rigid economy but also to deny the schools many things needed, and do not feel a perfect freedom in present- ing estimates. During the past year the committee have ex- pended the funds carefully and wisely and yet were com- pelled to shorten the year, greatly to the detriment of the pupils, especially in the higher grades, because of lack of - money. The final examinations were omitted and it is very doubtful whether the year's course can possibly be completed in the high schools. The reasons for this condition of affairs will be fully stated in the report of the committee. They appear in part to be that the failure of the town to furnish necessary room at Haydenville, by its action in rescinding a vote to do so, compelled the crowding of some rooms to an extent that made it impossible for the teachers to do the work in a satisfactory manner thus making an assistant a necessity. The demand for an additional grade in the


28


Williamsburg High School seemed to warrant the adding another year to the course, especially as quite a class was promised, this was done and an assistant hired chiefly on -this account, but the class numbered but four and that for only a portion of the time. It was also ascertained that the books were not in a good condition, many being absolutely worthless, and that a large supply must be bought at once. While the purchase and distribution of books and supplies were personally supervised by the superintendent, he was able by his acquaintance with the absolute needs of the schools, the change in numbers and the carelessness or care- fulness of the teachers in the use of supplies to reduce the outlay to the minimum and often to a smaller amount than was well for the school. Books were transferred from place to place, discarded ones made to take the place of more modern ones needed and others patched, pasted, and repaired until the limit was reached. When the committee thought best to oversee this part of the work they simply did what any committee would do under like circumstances - bought the supplies needed and gave the schools proper and suffic- ient amounts, not being expected to resort to the many ex- pedients formerly used.


It is very difficult to convince some that the proper way to judge of the needs of a school is not by its number of pupils alone, therefore when better conveniences are requested or more room, the reply is "Why don't you place some of the scholars in Miss A's room, there are but few there and the teacher doesn't have much to do ? " If it is of any account to have a graded system of schools then the grades must be kept intact, sufficient and suitable rooms and teachers pro- vided, and the work thoroughly completed before the class is promoted. It is not the different numbers of pupils in given classes that makes the difference in the work of teachers, for one of a few must have exactly the same work done for it as one much larger. It will always happen in our schools that the number attending the lower grades will be greatly in excess of that in the higher, and this should be considered in adjusting classes to rooms. In Haydenville,


.


29


in particular, the committee were forced to divide classes and advance grades greatly to their detriment, and it would be manifestly unjust to require the same results from the school officers that are obtained in other more fortunate towns, while they are hampered by such conditions as exist. The separation of the grades in the primary schools has proved a wise move, and we have had no better work than has been done in these schools. The opening of the button shop at Williamsburg village immediately withdrew many pupils who should be in the high school at Haydenville and two grammar grades were placed in the room. Mr. Smith willingly undertook the new duties, though engaged to do specifically high school work and has given us a very success- ful and profitable school. The other grades have done well considering the circumstances. The Williamsburg village schools have been crowded in the lower grades and as we are trying to maintain the grades and do eleven years' work with three teachers and an assistant, it is evident to any one who understands the requirements that it is difficult to fulfil them all. The Primary School was suddenly increased by the entering of a considerable number of State children, and with forty-eight pupils and four grades no teacher could manage and instruct it properly, therefore an assistant was hired for half the time, Miss Rising being transferred from the High School for that purpose. It should be remembered in this connection that the number of State children added to our schools has greatly increased the outlay for books and supplies. The out schools have been good and some have increased in attendance, notably so in the case of Nash street school The attendance at Searsville became so small and irregular, being but five and a half for the fall term, that it was thought best to close it for the winter and transport th . scholars to the village, thus saving expense and giving them the advantage of graded work, but the attendance at the village is now so large as to make the opening of the Searsville school necessary, when, of course, all scholars be- 1 nging there will be expected to attend it. The teaching of music has been continued in the Haydenville schools


30


under the direction of Mrs. Buck and the account of prog- ress and results will be found in her report. The vertical system of penmanship has been introduced in the primary grades and the children appear to be doing well with it. Teachers' meetings have been held regularly with good attendance and much profit. The district meeting held at Williamsburg was a success, the addresses given by Messrs. Edson and Sargent, Agents of the State Board, were ex- tremely interesting and helpful while the exhibit of work compared favorably with the previous exhibits at these meet- ings. Especial credit is due the ladies of the Benevolent Society for the splendid dinner furnished at so cheap a rate to those attending the meeting. The wand drill and march- ing by the pupils of the Williamsburg High School under the direction of Principal Rowell was a novel feature of the day and called forth praise from all present.


The attendance upon the Williamsburg High School has decreased somewhat during the last of the year, several having left the school for various reasons. The instruction given through the year has been excellent. A class of thirteen graduated from the two years' course, under Princi- pal Rowell, in June ; five from the Latin-English course and eight from the English. A class of seven graduated from the full Latin-English course of the Haydenville High School, under Principal Smith. The excellent character of the teaching in the latter school and the fine discipline man- ifest are evidences of the wisdom shown in retaining the former instructor. As the number of pupils pursuing the High School course at Haydenville is small, and as there is plenty of room in the Williamsburg house, it would be a good arrangement if they could be placed with the same grades in Williamsburg. If it could be done and the united schools, placed under such a teacher as Mr. Smith, and the entire Haydenville house utilized for the lower grades in so much need of room, it would be an arrangement beneficial to all concerned. It should be clearly understood by the citizens that while there have been some unsatisfactory con- ditions existing during the year, yet full value has been


31


received for every dollar expended, and there is very little criticism of the quality of the work. It is hoped that the estimates for school expenses for the coming year submitted by the school board may be accepted and the amount voted. The increased amount requested for books and supplies is greatly needed and, if secured, will be less than one dollar for each pupil.


Your Superintendent in this report has endeavored to give an idea of the difficulties under which the school officers labor in an attempt to maintain a profitable system of graded schools, and to indicate their condition and needs without hesitation, feeling sure that the citizens will not fail to respond when these matters are fully understood. Employed by both State and town to oversee the schools, he intends to have the best interests of them at heart and to clearly recommend what is for their good without prejudice or fear of criticism. In closing he wishes to thank the members of the committee for their support and assistance and the citizens of the town for the courtesy, aid and encouragement shown and given.


Respectfully submitted, E. W. GOODHUE, Superintendent.

VOCAL MUSIC REPORT.


This is the second year in which vocal music has been taught in the Haydenville schools. The work has been more satisfactory in results with the progress of time as the cum- ulative effect of the past year's training becomes manifest in the work of this year. Increased facility especially in the sight reading of music is evident through all the grades. The separation of the primary grades between the Purring- ton and the Maple St. Primary Schools has been of decided help in the teaching of music in these grades.


As before the Supervisor of music gives one lesson a week in each of the rooms and the pupils are drilled in the lessons daily by their respective teachers.


The vocal lessons are esteemed as a helpful means of rec- reation in the school life but the educational value of the music is the chief end of the course. Music is one of the most highly educational of the disciplines. It develops deeply the emotional, the sympathetic, and the intellectual nature. The patriotic songs taught the children thus early in their lives will be a means of ever nourishing love of country. The religious songs cultivate the moral and spirit= ual nature without sectarian bias. The miscellaneous songs enliven the sympathies and enrich the mind in many and varied aspects.


The music used throughout the course while often simple and always melodic is thoroughly classical and will inculcate a taste for the best class of music.


For the cordial co-operation of the various teachers, the Supervisor of music would express her grateful thanks. The sympathy and attention of parents will be of great assistance in enlisting and holding the interest of the pupils.
