ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF LINCOLN,
FOR THE
SCHOOL-YEAR 1890-91.
Annual Report of the School Committee.
In accordance with custom and the statutes of this Commonwealth, the following Report of the School Committee is respectfully submitted to the citizens of Lincoln :
In accordance with the vote of the town, the Com- mittee entered into a union with Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Carlisle and Wilmergton, to engage a Super- intendent of Schools. The results of the present year's work are such that we think it advisable to continue this joint supervision, the absolute cost of which has been about $65.
During the year just closed, as in previous years, several changes have occurred among our teachers. Last spring Miss Anna H. Farrar, at her own request, was transferred from the East School to the South. Later, receiving a much better offer, we, with regret, accepted her resignation. To make good her loss Miss Edith A. Andrews was transferred from the North. In the fall Miss Grace Farrar, on account of sickness, was obliged to retire from teaching. At the Centre, Miss A. E. Weston substituted during Miss Carrie B. Chapin's illness.
At the beginning of the spring term, the new build- ing at the South was ready for occupancy, and now the pupils are well accommodated in modern school-rooms. And now, as the town has spent so much money on this building, we think a little more could be profitably employed in grading and concreting around the doors.

Report of Superintendent.
Gentlemen of the School Committee :
The First Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools is respectfully submitted.
As it is my first year, the work has of necessity been somewhat experimental. It was necessary to become acquainted with the teachers and pupils, also to learn the condition and needs of each school. These, having been somewhat ascertained, formed a common ground on which superintendent and teachers could meet.
Then the suggestions and hints which were given have not always been rightly interpreted and the work done in the way intended. As superintendent and teachers become more acquainted they understand each other better and work more in harmony.
Still another difficulty has arisen during the past year which has hindered very much the accomplishment of any regular plans. Several changes have occurred among the teachers, and some of the teachers have been obliged to temporarily cease teaching on account of sickness.
All these obstacles combined have rendered it impos- sible to do many things which had been planned. Yet some lines of work have been started which are expected to bring forth results in the future.
COURSE OF STUDY.
That the pupils who are to attend the High School can be equally qualified to do the work required there, a uniform course of study is necessary. Such a course
53
has been given to the teachers, not with the expecta- tion that it will be fully carried out, but that each teacher may have something definite before him and give each study its just proportion of time.
ATTENDANCE.
Courses of study and good teaching will avail noth- ing unless there is regularity of attendance on the part of the pupils. While in a certain measure a teacher's success may be estimated by the attendance of his pupils, yet there is a side to this question seldom con- sidered, which is, the duty of a parent to his child. The great business of all children is to attend school to lay the foundation of their future success. Punctu- ality and regularity are at the very basis of all success, and if the habit of attending punctually and regularly to his work is formed in childhood a great stride is taken towards success. These facts are presented for two reasons : first, that the parent may be led to see that by detaining a child at home or causing him to be late he is learning to become negligent, and by planning to send him to school regularly and in ample season he is learning to be prompt in attending to his work ; second, that parents may co-operate with the teachers and make their work more effective.
A very cursory review of the statistics at the end of this report will show that there is need of a very radical change in the attendance of the pupils. Some children are absent almost as much as they are present. While it may be necessary to sometimes detain a child at home, there is no reason why a child who intends to go to school should be late. Tardinesses should very seldom occur, yet there have been from one to one
54
hundred and two tardinesses in a single term. It is hoped these few words may lead parents to exercise greater care in this very important matter, also that teachers will pay more attention to it.
NEW PUPILS.
Children not having previously attended school, who commence to attend school at the opening of the win- ter term, are so few in number and irregular in attend- ance, it has been decided to admit them only during the first two weeks of the fall and spring terms. Ad- mittance is limited to the first two weeks, that the teacher may not be hindered in forming her classes, or the pupils retarded in their work.
DISCIPLINE.
The old maxim, " Order is heaven's first law," is as true today as it ever was. But the means by which that order is obtained have greatly changed in the past few years. The rod has been replaced by a far more potent instrument. The best teachers no longer think of discipline as the repression of evil, but make its aim the formation of a strong character. While even today, in times of trial, weak and unskilled teachers resort almost without exception to brute force, the skilled teacher, employing tact and forethought, pro- duces results of a much higher order.
While I think it would be unwise to place the power of administering corporal punishment beyond the reach of the teacher, yet I firmly believe its use should be reduced to a minimum. This can only be accomplished where the parent sustains the right relations toward the teacher ; and let me close my remarks on " Disci-
55
pline " with an appeal to parents to co-operate with the teachers, and render the influences which surround your children as effective as possible.
THE SCHOOL.
The school is an artificial environment thrown around children to assist in making them men and women. The day has passed for considering the school simply a place to give to children certain facts. Its object is far nobler than that. We no longer need teachers to sit behind a desk with book in hand and hear pupils answer questions printed in the book, or recite glibly what they may have committed to memory. Such a teacher must give place to one who realizes that she has in her hands the training of a citizen, the moulding of a character. From this standpoint it is difficult to estimate too highly the importance of the teacher's position. The success or failure in life of many chil- dren depend upon her ability, wisdom and honesty of purpose. This conclusion leads us directly to a neces- sity which will be considered under the following topic.
TRAINED TEACHERS.
As a protection to the public the State wisely requires of physicians a certificate of special prepara- tion for their work; why does it give to persons of every degree of maturity and ability, the opportunity to experiment with the minds of children without requiring the same guarantee of preparation ? Is a man's health of greater consequence than the future of his child ? A child's schooldays are too short and their results too important to be entrusted to an inex- perienced, untrained teacher: Good buildings, courses of study, apparatus and reference books are of great
56
assistance, but they will avail but little without that very necessary accompaniment, a good teacher. There- fore there is every reason to guard carefully the en- trance to the work. No consideration of race, religion, politics or social relations ought to bias the decision. Ability to teach and train children so that they shall become true men and women, able to make the most of themselves, is the only thing to be considered. The school is established for the children, and every decision relating to it should be made with reference to its effect upon them.
Before closing this report I would thank the teach- ers for the very cordial manner in which they have entered into my plans, and the Committee for the assistance which they have so readily and cheerfully extended to me.
