ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF LINCOLN,
FOR THE
SCHOOL YEAR 1885-86.
37
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee of the Town of Lincoln submit the following report of the condition of the Schools under their care for the school year 1885-'6.
NORTH SCHOOL.
Teachers, - MISS GEORGIANA H. WESTON, MISS LOTTIE M. NELSON.
Spring Term, - Whole number of pupils, 21; average attendance, 12+; length of term 10} weeks.
Fall Term, - Whole number of pupils, 18; average at- tendance, 9+; length of term, 9 weeks.
Winter Term,- Whole number of pupils, 22; average attendance, 18 ; for 9 weeks.
At the close of the Winter term Miss Gale, who has had the charge of the school for the last three years, relinquished it to assume new responsibilities in another sphere of life.
She was succeeded by Miss Georgiana H. Weston. Owing to great irregularity in attendance, and the illness of the teacher toward the close of the term, the results were rather unsatisfactory.
During the ninth week of the Fall term, Miss Weston re- signed her position. After several unsuccessful attempts to obtain a teacher of experience, we secured the services of Miss Lottie Nelson, who, though inexperienced, entered upon her duties with enthusiasm. An interest has been awakened in the studies, the discipline is good, and the pros- pects at present are very encouraging.
38
EAST SCHOOL.
Teacher, - MISS HELEN F. PIERCE.
Spring Term, -Whole number of pupils, 26; average attendance, 18 ; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term, - Whole number of pupils, 28 ; average at- tendance, 21; length of term, 15 weeks.
Winter Term, -Whole number of pupils, 24; average attendance, 22+; for 5 weeks.
Miss Pierce has continued her labors with the same fidel- ity, patience, and success as heretofore. The school has been inproving constantly under her care. We consider the district very fortunate to have retained her services so long.
SOUTH SCHOOL.
Teacher, - MISS MINNIE L. GOOLD.
Spring Term, - Whole number of pupils, 54; average attendance, 43; length of term, 12 weeks.
Fall Term, - Whole number of pupils, 53; average attendance, 43; length of term,. 15 weeks.
Winter Term. - Whole number of pupils, 46; average attendance, 38, for 4 weeks.
Miss Goold possesses ability, energy, and tact, which eminently fit her for the duties of her position. This school, always the largest in town, has kept up its average, although several have been removed to the High school. At our visits to this school, we have been gratified with the general cheerfulness and alacrity with which the pupils re- spond to the wishes of their teacher.
39
CENTRE PRIMARY SCHOOL.
Teacher, - MISS CARRIE B. CHAPIN.
Spring Term, - Whole number of pupils, 28; average attendance, 23+; length of term, 12 weeks.
Fall Term, - Whole number of pupils, 33; average attendance, 26+; length of term, 15 1-2 weeks.
Winter Term, - Whole number of pupils, 28; average attendance 25+, for 4 weeks.
This school has been under the same teacher as for sev- eral years past. What has been said of her in former reports, can be repeated to-day with emphasis. She is a truly progressive teacher, and the character of the school has been fully sustained.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Teachers, - MR. ISRAEL H. DE WOLFE, MR. JOHN E. BUTLER.
Spring Term, - Whole number of pupils, 18; average attendance 12+; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term, - Whole number of pupils, 30; average at- tendance, 22+; length of term, 15 1-2 weeks.
Winter Term, - Whole number of pupils, 30; average attendance, 23+, for 4 weeks.
The school was under the care of Mr. DeWolfe during the spring term. Quite a commendable degree of progress was shown at the closing examination, after which he re- signed.
40
At the opening of the fall term, we engaged the services of Mr. John E. Butler, a recent graduate of Amherst. Mr. Butler came to us with high recommendations of schol- arship and character, and has proved an efficient, energetic, and faithful teacher. He has had the same difficulties of classification that other teachers have complained of in for- mer years. The necessity of a system of graded schools becomes more and more evident, year by year.
We wish to express our appreciation of the long and faithful services of our former chairman, and our regret at his resignation. We have taken up his duties reluctantly, and attempted to perform them faithfully.
It became evident at the commencement of the school year, that some change was necessary in the South school ; either an assistant must be provided, or some scholars must be transferred to the High school. The latter plan was adopted as affording the greater good to all concerned, and as far as we know, has given satisfaction to all. Books have been furnished the pupils by the town, in accordance with the law, and we conclude, by the bills coming in, that every child in school has been provided with a new book. Books on Hygiene have been introduced the past year, in compliance with an Act of the Legislature.
We desire to impress upon parents as well as upon pupils the importance of regularity in attendance. It is a great hind - rance to sucess in several of our schools, especially the High school. It is impossible to make good progress with- out it. We would impress upon all, and especially the young, the importance of obtaining a good education. The best time to lay the foundation is in youth. If these golden opportunities are allowed to pass unimproved, the
41
time will soon come to many when it will be thought too late, as the active duties of life will demand their attention. This foundation is to be laid by thoroughness in all the studies to which they attend ..
We fear there is a lack of appreciation among some, of the priviliges afforded their children in the public schools. The object in view is not to prepare simply for the recitation or public examination, but to bring into practice the various powers of the mind, and acquire definite knowledge which will fit one for some useful sphere of life.
