REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Board respectfully submits its Annual Report for the year ending March 15, 1884 :-
Since the close of the trial at Plymouth in June, your Board have had a quiet time in comparison with the two years imme- diately preceding. No contagious diseases have been reported, and with but trifling exceptions, no complaints made.
STANDARD FERTILIZER COMPANY.
In June last, the appeal of the Standard Fertilizer Company from the order of the State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, to cease and desist from further carrying on its trade and business in the Town of Duxbury, came up for trial before a jury in the Superior Court at Plymouth. Eminent counsel appeared for both parties, and the trial lasted nearly a week. Most strenuous efforts were made by the State Board and its counsel to sustain the order ; but the jury, after inspecting the premises, and an impartial charge by Judge Blodgett, annulled the order in full, and thus sustained entirely the action of the Town Board.
The result of the trial is peculiarly gratifying, for it was universally felt that the State Board was unnecessarily arbi- trary and unreasonable both in its order to the Company and in its treatment of our Board, the Selectmen and the citizens at large. The Town Board of Health, with full sense of its responsibility, acting under the laws of the Commonwealth,
51
took prompt action upon the complaint of the Summer visitors, caused the sources of offence to be at once removed, and build- ings to be erected for storing the crude material, and from that time exercised constant supervision over the business.
The complaining parties, impatient and suspicious, while these measures were going on for their benefit, without await- ing the result or giving credit to this Board for honesty of pur- pose, presented their petition to the State Board, and succeeded in interesting its sympathy to the extent that it ignored the local Board and the citizens, and regardless of the injury it would cause the Town, the suffering to many of its inhabitants, and the loss to a company which had been invited to plant its works within our limits so short a time before, proceeded to pass its order to close up a business which during the whole of the preceding season had not been offensive.
That town boards of health have jurisdiction over offensive trades within their respective towns we still assert. That they will always act in concert with the State Board whenever they believe that the greater strength of that Board should be exer- cised, there is no doubt. But that it is unwise for the State Board to attempt to distress a local board acting with honest purpose, or a business obeying the orders of such, the verdict of the Jury has maintained.
We trust that no more unpleasant relations will arise between the two boards, and that each will prove of great benefit to the public. If the Standard Fertilizer Company will continue its business, exercising the same caution as during the past season, no citizen or visitor need complain.

ANNUAL REPORT
-OF THE-
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
-OF THE-
TOWN OF DUXBURY
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR, 1883-4.
As the financial year draws to a close, it becomes the duty of the Committee to whom were entrusted the care and direction of the Public Schools, to make a report of their condition, with such statements and suggestions concerning them as would seem proper, to promote their best interest.
The whole number of persons in the Town between five and fifteen years of age on the first day of May, 1883, as returned by the Assessors, was 339. The whole num- ber of different scholars of all ages in the Public Schools of the Town was 348. The number between eight and fourteen was 191. Number over fifteen, 49. Number under five, 5.
54
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The school-houses of our town, with one exception. to be hereafter noted, are in excellent condition. and will compare favorably with any in the County. During the past year your Committee have caused to be built at the Mill Brook School House a cistern of abundant capacity, placed a substantial pump in one of the entrys, so that now pure water is no longer a scarcity. The School House at Island Creek has been papered and painted inside, and now compares favorably with our other houses.
The exception before noted, is the Village Hall School House, formerly known as number one. The foundation of the building is sadly out of repair, and will require immediate attention, as also will the grading of the grounds, unless the Town see fit to accept the offer of one of our citizens looking to the
PROPOSED REMOVAL OF SCHOOL HOUSE No. 1.
Mr. Henry Bartlett makes the following proposition to the Town, which will be submitted to the voters for their action at the Annual Town Meeting, April 7th. Mr. Bartlett offers to give the southerly half of the Tur- ner pasture, so-called, situated between the estate of the late Peleg Cook and Mr. Andrew Stetson's shop, running back three hundred feet or more, and move the aforesaid school-house on to said lot, free of expense to the Town, provided the Town will give him a deed of the land where the house is now located, Mr. Bartlett owns the
0

= 0 t
a
55
land bordering on said school-house lot, and contemplates extensive improvements thereon which will materially increase the taxable property of the Town ; and as the new location is more valuable, and also a decided im- provement over the old, and of sufficient size for a suit- able play ground for the scholars, your Committee are unanimous in the opinion that it will be for the interest of the Town to accept the offer, and would respectfully ask its adoption.
APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR.
Your Committee would respectfully ask for an increase of one hundred and fifty dollars in the appro- priations for support of schools for the ensuing year, making the total amount asked for twenty-eight hundred dollars, instead of twenty-six hundred and fifty last year. This your Committee would urge as a real necessity, made so by the increase of amount paid to the Trustees of Partridge Academy from one hundred and fifty dollars to three hundred dollars, for which sum the Town enjoys all the privileges of an excellent High School, at the same time satisfying the requirements of the Public Statutes at a merely nominal expense. It will be seen that the sum left for the support of the nine other schools of the Town will be twenty-five hundred dollars, which sum was annually appropriated for many years, before any thing was paid to the Academy.
56
OUR TEACHERS.
In the judgment of your Board, the teachers of our public schools have, during the year now closed, per- formed their duties with fidelity and success. Some of them have been in our service for a long time, and both themselves and their labors are well known to those among whom they have served. It is impossible for a Committee to make, in a general report, a discriminating and just statement of the course and achievements of all the teachers employed. We have witnessed many things worthy of special commendation ; some things have passed under our notice which would justifiy criticism ; but, in the opinion of the Committee, the proper place for either is within the domain of the school in which the occasion for them has transpired.
It should be borne in mind by parents and the public generally, that the daily task of a school teacher is extra- ordinary, and one of the most difficult ever committed to a human being. Every parent that has been put to the test knows that the management of one child, or more, is often extremely perplexing and exhausting. What, then, must be the forbearance, the patience, the wisdom, the tact, the fortitude, and fidelity of a teacher who, without the advantage of parental relations and instincts, manages, with fair success, for six hours a day, from twenty to fifty scholars, having as many different constitutions, tastes, habits and dispositions, and all sorts of home training, and some of them no home training at all ? Before we pronounce upon the nature of their
T
C t SO S a
e t
f fr an
of sp
me
th
57
work, or condemn their errors and defects, let us con- sider the natural difficulties and trials which they must inevitably meet. In case a teacher seems to fail, before deciding that the failure is real and absolute, it will be wise to inquire if it is not incidental and partial, such as is liable to occur in the experience of any one teaching the same pupils.
But while we utter this word in behalf of our teach- ers, the Committee feel bound to urge THEM to remember that they are the servants of the public, and have be- come so voluntarily. The schools are not for them, but they are for the schools. The children do not come to school for their sake, but they come for the children's sake. It is not to be expected that the children will use and expend themselves for the teachers, but the teachers for the children. "The pupils may get weary, languid, fretful, impatient, and break over the rules of propriety and good order ; their teachers, meanwhile. should re- main uniformly patterns of all virtue and loveliness. This is, indeed, a severe task ; but it"has been self- imposed; and it had better be deliberately abandoned than trifled with or bunglingly executed.
In the judgment of the Board there is room: for a Higher degree of devotion and enthusiasm among some of our teachers. An increase of professional ardor and spirit, in some instances, is VERY much needed. Their schools need a new inspiration that shall thrill the ele- ments there at work with quicker life, and move them more forcefully and in better harmony with. the move- ments of the outside world,
58
PUBLIC ENTHUSIASM.
This, in the opinion of your Committee, is one of the great necessities of our schools. We are proud of our system of free schools. Their importance is universally admitted, and their excellence generally acknowledged. The expenditures in behalf of these institutions are very seldom complained of. Yet this enthusiasm falls short of the schools themselves.
The mass of our people know little or nothing about the structure and mangement of the schools, the studies and exercises pursued, the successes and failures experienced. They seldom visit the schools to look 'encouragingly on the teachers and pupils, and enquire after their welfare and utter words of good cheer. Very infrequently do parents communicate with teachers to whom their own children are entrusted, concerning their constitutional peculiarities and habits, and the progress they are making in their studies. Is it a won- der then that teachers fail to become enthusiastic, and pursue their work as a dull routine ? Is it surprising that pupils dislike school. and long for the day when they shall escape from it ? The schools demand the ardent devo- tion and fostering care of the whole community. It is not enough to push them into the arms of the School Committee, and the teachers whom they may appoint. They must have a large place in the public heart ; be- come the objects of general care, solicitude and interest. The children must be made to feel that these things and pursuits are of high importance and great value, The

Committee are confident that such a tide of popular enthusiasm in favor of our schools would tend to remedy many evils now existing, and would steadily carry for- ward the work of education to yet nobler results and grander achievements.
