ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDING
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF DUXBURY,
FOR THE YEAR
1871 -- 2.
PLYMOUTH: PLYMOUTH ROCK STEAM PRESS. 1872.

REPORT.
Fellow Citizens :
The Annual Report of your School Committee is here- with respectfully submitted.
Acting upon the principle that correct information is the best guarantee to success in an intelligent community, we herewith present to you some of the School Laws of Massachusetts, and most earnestly recommend them to your careful perusal and preservation. You will readily see what the duties of your School Committee are, with- out further comment.
We feel safe in saying that the schools have made commendable progress the past year. Much absence has been caused by sickness, from colds contracted in our dilapidated school-houses. The greatest drawback is non- attendance. If parents were satisfied that their children would be made comfortable at school, they would culti- vate in them the habit of more punctual attendance, and not allow so many excuses for staying away from school, a convincing proof of which we have at No. 4. Punctual attendance develops the faculty of concentration, which
4
is the secret of all. success. Whenever it becomes a part of a scholars early education to do whatever is under- taken in a faithful manner, a habit is formed of devoting all his time and energy to the matter in hand until its successful accomplishment. The beneficial influence of such a habit will be felt all through the future life. Many an enterprise has failed, simply for the want of personal attention at the proper time. Much subsequent effort is lost in consequence of the neglect of those to whom is committed the early training of children.
The school is no exception to the general rule, (except that such neglect is more damaging.) It puts the pupil back in his class ; perhaps some problem has been solved in his absence, the want of which will be severely felt a whole lifetime. The ambition is broken down. He feels that he has been neglected, while others were more fa- vored. Parents, will you think of this ? Our record is good under the circumstances, but our object is im- provement. Do better for the love of doing better, not by force of law. What many call luck is the result of mature deliberation, which does not appear to the careless observer. While luck lies in bed biding his time, science turns out and systematically makes his fortune. As one hour for work in the morning is worth two after the sun has passed meridian, so it is in the morning of our exis- tence. One year under good discipline in early life, is worth two at a later period.

The staunchest ship may be manned by the most able- bodied sailors, but without a good directing captain in command, the whole would end in total disaster. We feel that too much care cannot be taken in the selection . of good teachers. When good teachers have been se- cured, they should not be forced to leave on account of a small pecuniary consideration. We live in an age when
a good common school education is allowed to all, and the law will admit of no excuse except infirmity. With a desire for improvement, any degree of culture can be attained that the young mind is capable of receiving. It is not one or two qualifications alone that complete an cd- ucation. It requires a unison of many. Graceful reading and speaking are of the greatest importance. Those who in common conversation speak deliberately, distinctly and correctly, who make use of the best words to express themselves, and vary their voice according to the nature of the subject, will always please; while the thick, hasty speaker, that mumbles out a set of ill chosen words, with a dull monotony, will tire to no profit. It does not nec- essarily follow that one should become a polemic, but if he would be a serious, practical reasoner, good reading is a necessity.
Your committee are unanimous on this most important branch of your children's education. At their visitations, they have called the teachers attention to it. Good reading and speaking require a good knowledge of
2
6
grammar, in which some of our schools have made good progress, while in others it appears to have been ne- glected for some time. Solid reasoning and sound sense, without the graces and ornaments of language, will often fail to please or persuade. Even trifles elegantly ex- pressed, will be better received, than the best arguments vulgarly uttered. No branch has been neglected the past year, but a thoroughness in all has been urged.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL,
As heretofore, has been a decided success, and is de- serving of better accommodations, in a more central lo- cation. It is self regulating. Each individual member is held to the strictest account. If the teacher does not immediately appear at the proper time, the school is called to order by the pupils. They commence recita- tion, and if the teacher fails to come at all, they might go on with the work. Each scholar in the advanced classes is capable of taking charge of the lower classes. They do it with all the dignity of an experienced teacher. In their own class the teacher puts the first ques- tion indiscriminately to any one of the class. The pupil to whom the question is put after answering correctly, puts the next question in the same manner to any of the class, and thus they go through with the lesson, thereby learn- ing to propound, as well as answer a question. The
7
school is required to run of itself without noise or fric- tion. The slightest innovation is at once detected by a watchful eye.
Good Teachers are always in demand. It is not the one that can speak the most words in a given time, that is the best teacher. A person may be able to recite all the rules of music, yet not be able to sing. A successful teacher will combine with a good voice, and clear and distinct pronunciation, the happy faculty of conveying ideas with the fewest words possible, at the same time engaging the attention of the pupil in a manner that is pleasing. Such a teacher will make the scholar feel that nothing can be done without the closest attention and good order on every hand, and that success depends on individual effort. In fact, the whole may be ex- pressed in the one word, Tact.
""Tis education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined." 1
It is pleasing to note the marked improvement at No. 4. An accomplished teacher, and comfortable quarters, have been attended with the most gratifying results. The school has been revolutionized in less than a year. It has become intelligent and attentive, tidy and attractive, and has rapidly advanced in its studies. All this well repays for the outlay that has been made. The house has not been dedicated in consequence of the Town not accepting
8
it. The only reason for not accepting the house, appears to be in consequence of some of our tax-payers not being able to see the necessity of a decent school-house. The building is twenty-six by forty feet, with thirteen feet posts ; built in the most substantial manner ; a chimney with two flues from the foundation; one for smoke, the other for ventilation, in which are two registers, one near the ceiling, the other near the floor. Modern windows hung with weights top and bottom ; a hard pine floor of the best kind. The room is sheathed three feet high with chestnut, and furnished with desks and chairs for sixty pupils, with ample room for recitation platform, fur- nished with settees to seat a class of twenty scholars. There are ample blackboards, a modern desk for the use of the teacher, and three chairs for the accomodation of visitors. There are two entries seven feet square with an iron sink in each, and a pump in one that takes the purest water from a never failing spring, twelve feet below the surface of the ground. A small building twelve feet square, back of the house, furnishes ample accommoda- tions for storing a years' supply of fuel, and other neces- sary shelter. Outside; the house is finished in very plain modern style, painted and blinded. It stands back from the road about two hundred feet, with a level yard in front, of nearly an acre. Lot, underpinning, school- house, wood-house and furniture, all complete, at a rea- sonable expense.
9
The outlay no doubt looks large to a penurious person ; and when we take the fact into consideration, the best school-house the town owned, was sold three years ago for the sum of one hundred and thirty one dollars, there may be an appearance of extravagance. But it is only in appearance and not in fact, we have the satisfaction of knowing that the house will compare favorably with those in the surrounding towns, built at a higher cost for equal accommodations.

Names of scholars and the school in which they are registered. The names are given as they appear on the Record. There are cases where one scholar appears three terms in succession, and his name is spelled differ- ently each term. It is difficult to determine which is correct. We will see that this does not occur in future.
The names appear in the order of each scholar's at- tendance, preceded by the Roll of Honor of members who have not been absent one day during the year.
The days present, and the days absent, constitute the number of days each scholar was a member.
