ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF LINCOLN,
FOR THE
SCHOOL-YEAR
1892 - 93.
Superintendent's Report.
To the School Committee of Lincoln :
GENTLEMEN :- The third annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is presented.
Notwithstanding the work of the year has been characterized by many changes among the teachers, the schools have improved in many ways, and are now on a much better working basis than they were a year ago. The changes, however, have not been as numerous as last year, although but two of the six teachers who were in the schools January 1, 1892, remained in their positions throughout the year, and one of these' has now resigned. The High School has had three principals, one teacher has been transferred, and one has been added to the force as indicated in the table of statistics following this report.
The numerous changes in teachers, however, have resulted in improvement, so that our schools are now, without expection, supplied with excellent teachers, teachers whom it will be wise policy to retain, even at increased expense.
WORK OF THE SCHOOLS.
The teachers readily entered upon the course of studies printed in last year's report, and the pupils are now fairly settled into the grades of work outlined for them. Although some of the lines of study are innovations, they are certainly leading in the right direction.
60
Drawing, with clay modeling in the primary grades, has been introduced and is being successfully con- ducted in all the schools below the High.
The plant study has been successful beyond my expectations. It was not expected that more than a beginning in this line would be made the first season, but the little folks, last spring and fall, did all the work outlined for them, and the third and fourth grades, in most cases, not only did their own grade work, but made up that of the previous years, so that they will go on next spring with the advance work, with that of the previous years made up to grade.
This work is interesting both to teachers and pupils. Not only does it give the pupil a knowledge of the things studied, but it furnishes him something to look at, something to talk about, and something to think about, and thus cultivates his powers of observa- tion, comparison, reason, and expression. It is the object, and, I believe will prove to be the result, of the new work introduced into the course of studies, and of the methods of conducting all the work, to develop the four faculties, which President Eliot says should be the fundamental object of all education to develop, viz .: " to observe correctly, to record accu- rately the results of observation, to collate facts, and draw just inferences therefrom, and to express clearly and forcibly logical thought."
