By a joint vote of the Selectmen and the remain- ing members of the School Committee, the vacancy caused by his death was filled by the selection of Mr. C. F. Jacobs.
Our public schools aim to educate citizens, and to do this well they should not only impart knowledge, but should also afford discipline, that the Country may have
48
intelligent, self-supporting citizens, and at the same time citizens who have been trained to meet and overcome difficulties, and to maintain law and order.
Knowledge, as we have used it here, may be learning of facts or, on the other hand, may be training of the mind. The two should go together, but the latter is by far the more valuable. This principle is universally admitted by educators. Up to a certain age the time must be given almost wholly to gaining information in regard to facts and processes, but after that the object must be, not only to obtain information, but especially to so train the mind that the learner can say in answer to a question on many subjects : "I don't know the subject as a specialist ought to, but I know how to work out or look up the point." Now which has the wider information, one who has simply learned that Boston is in 42 degrees, 20 minutes, north latitude, and can always tell that fact at a moment's notice, but who can tell the latitude of no other place; or the one who can not tell that fact but can say : "Give me a map and I will tell you the latitude and longitude of a thousand places almost as rapidly as you can record them." One has memorized a fact, the other has memorized a principle and acquired the brain power that will tell him a thousand facts. What is true in this simple illustration is true in every subject taught in the public schools, in most subjects to a greater degree than in the above illustration, in a few not so noticeably.
The discipline of the schools calls forth habits of obedience, orderliness, industry, perseverence, deference,
49
etc. Deinhardt, a noted educator, said : "Obedience which is almost a lost art in home and government. is a greater intellectual acquirement, not to mention its moral value. than arithmetic or grammar ;" and recently in Chicago in the case of a fire in a school building in which there were eight hundred children, such was the discipline and habit of obedience that the teachers emptied the building in three minutes, and only one child was injured. This exception was a boy who attempted to break through a window.
Knowledge, if it is to be of great value, requires hard work in its attainment. Herein is that discipline which teaches industry and perseverence and many subjects with such a requirement should find a place in a school curriculum. This hard work of the schools best prepares the pupil for the career which is to follow his school life when each finds that he must labor if he would possess. When the demand for a practical education is analyzed we find generally that the claim is made that the training be such as will be directly useful in earning a living. In this we believe thoroughly, but we remember that whether a person's efforts through life be mental or bodily, other things being equal, he can demand and obtain the best remuneration who has the greatest brain power. A school cannot and should not train the child to be a farmer, or a doctor, or a mechanic, but it can and should insist upon such a training as will best lead to the making of a good citizen, a good law maker, one capable of enjoying what
7
50
is best in life, and one who will by his attainments promote his own welfare and that of the community in which he lives. Such an education we call practical, and we know that these desirable results are not visionary. Individual failures cannot refute this statement ; a comparison between the condition of those peoples who have enjoyed the advantage of free public schools and of those who have not, fully supports it.
In making their report for the year 1887-8 the Committee take pleasure in stating the fact that the district schools have been in session thirty eight weeks, and that the expenditure has been kept within the appropriation. The number of persons in town between the ages of five and fifteen years is two hundred and eighty-three ; the number of pupils enrolled in all the schools is three hundred and ten, and the average membership of the schools is two hundred and sixty-nine. The total expenditure, on account of schools, i. e., for teacher, care of rooms, fuel, repairs, books and supervision has been $3,976.11, and dividing this by the average membership, gives a cost to each pupil who has been a member of a school about $15.00.
The corps of teachers has remained the same with two exceptions.
In District No. 9, Miss L. H. Glass resigned to take a school in a neighboring town, and in the Fall the Committee fortunately secured as teacher Miss H. D. Symmes, who had had the advantage of a year's work in
51
in the Quincy Training School. In District No. 5, Miss Evalina Freeman taught a week only, and then the vacancy was filled by the election of Miss H. M. Chandler.
Our schools generally are doing good work, and perhaps the best evidence of this is that, with their previous record and condition, the work in them has proceded without interruption or upheaval. It is the quiet, constant work combined with unobstrusive . enthusiasm that brings about the lasting, healthy mental growth, just as it is the regular imperceptible growth of the body, rather than sudden fits and starts of growth, that is the characteristic of the strong, health child. Violent movements are necessary at times, but rather to change a policy or method, than to break up or diversify the routine of school work.
In those cases in which the work has not been wholly satisfactory to the teacher, to the Committee, or to the parents, we notice most obviously two causes-lack of system, and irregular attendance. The former depends upon the latter in so far as it is a fact that no system can be successful, or practicable, if pupils are very irregular in attendance. but further we refer to the fact that the teacher, in order to work successfully, must have clearly outlined in his, or her mind, the object to be attained, the ground to be covered, and the method to be followed in each subject, and must have in some shape a practical program of work to be completed in a specified time. Of course, it is impossible to systematize and outline the work as well and as thoroughly as it
52
would be done by a Superintendent, still whatever is possible in that direction will bring about better results, and the work itself of laying out a plan increases the efficiency and enthusiasm of the one laying it out.
In regard to the question of attendance we make the following extract from school law decisions. Judge Beck, in a recent decision, said : "It requires but little experience in the instruction of children and youth to convince any one that the only means which will assure progress in their studies is to secure their attendance, the application of the powers of their minds to the studies in which they are instructed. Unless the pupil's mind is open to receive instruction, vain will be the effort of the teacher to lead him forward in learning. This application of the mind in children is secured by interesting them in their studies. But this cannot be done if they are at school one day and at home the next, if a recitation is omitted or a lesson left unleared at the whim or convenience of parents. In order to interest a child he must be able to understand the subject in which he is instructed. If he has failed to prepare previous lessons he will not understand the one which the teacher explains to him. If he is required to do double duty, and prepare a previous lesson, omitted in order to make a visit or do an errand at home, with the lesson of the day, he will fail to master them and become discouraged. The inevitable consequence is that his interest flags and he is unable to apply the powers of his mind to the studies before him. The rule requiring constant and prompt attendance is for the good of the pupil, and to
a
t
re
53
secure the very objects the law had in view in estab- lishing public schools. It is therefore reasonable and proper.
"In another veiw it is required by the best interests of all the pupils of the schools. Irregular attendance of pupils not only retards their own progress, but interferes with the progress of those pupils who may be regular and prompt. The whole class may be annoyed and hindered by the imperfect recitations of one who has failed to prepare his lessons on account of absence. The class must endure and suffer the blunders, promptings and reproofs of the irregular pupil, all resulting from failure to prepare lessons which should have been studied when the child's time was occupied by the direction of the parent in work or visiting."
When we admit all of the evils given in this extract as consequent upon irregular attendance, it seems as though no cause but a necessary one should be allowed to impose hardships upon the pupil or work to the detriment of the school.
SCHOOL REPAIRS.
New stoves have been purchased for the schools in Districts Nos. 2 and 3, and the stove from No. 3, having been repaired, was transferred to No. 9. The ground about the building in No. 1 has been graded so that the water is turned away from the foundation. Although these and other repairs and supplies have not taken all of the sum ($250) appropriated therefor, we would recommend a similar appropriation for the ensuing year,
54
as two school-houses should be painted before another Winter.
TEXT BOOKS.
Under the provisions of the free text book . law the Committee have expended for books and supplies used in school work $324.59. This includes what has been furnished to the High School pupils in the Academy.
In the Ashdod district there are now only fourteen children of school age. If these attended school with regularity, the number is too small for the best work, still, under such circumstances there would probably be no question of change. But both the membership and the attendance are very poor, and on that account the district is not getting a fair return for the money ex- pended. Those who are now of school age live quite near together and therefore no change will be particularly difficult. The Committee believe it their duty therefore, to recommend the transportation of the children of this district to some other school, knowing that then a school would be formed of the best size for good work, and that the expense would be no greater, probably less, than now ; and believing that such an arrangement would secure better attendance and tend to arouse enthusiasm in study. Other towns do this when it is found that such a plan will advance the interests of the schools, and we hope that it will be tried here. The building in Ashdod will remain, and can be re-opened if the number of pupils in the district increases, or if for any other reason hereafter it shall seem best to do so.

Knowing that any decided improvement in country schools must be brought about by combination of schools, as recommended above, and through supervision by a trained Superintendent, your Committee has during the year discussed the plan of recommending a union with Marshfield for the purpose of employing a Superinten- dent.
Within the last few years many towns throughout the State have taken this step, and invariably the schools have at once begun to improve. The Superintendent has one general plan for all of the schools and this developes those which are out of the line of progress. He is the principal, as it were, who lays out the work with a definite end in view, and prescribes and illustrates the methods to be used. He applies tests to the work done and knows at any time the point each class has reached, so that there are no steps backward. His whole time is given to the work of superintendence, his training, and reading, make him a specialist in education, while his work and intercourse outside of the school- room make him a practical business man.
A bill is now before the Legislature providing for the union of two or more towns for the purpose of employ- ing a Superintendent and for the payment of a part of the salary by the State ; and, although this may not pass this year, such unions are now permitted and recom- mended, and it is to be hoped that the people of this Town, if there be an article in the warrant which will enable them to do so, will take the first step in this direction.
56
THE PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
This has been the first year under the four years' course, and so far as can be judged from one year's trial, we consider it a decided improvement. When we read over the list of subjects required to be taught in schools of this grade, we can but congratulate both the teachers and the pupils on this extension of time.
The conditions for entrance remain the same, with one exception, and in that study, English Grammar, the grade has not been changed but the character of the pre- paratory work has been changed. The object has been to so arrange the requirements that those who do not enter the Academy may spend their time on the mnost practical part of Grammar, instead of being trained almost ex- clusively in technical Grammar, and that those who enter the Academy may have made considerable progress in language work.
There are now in the High School fifty-one Duxbury pupils, and in view of that fact every improvement carried out by the Trustees is of especial interest to the townspeople. During the last year the Trustees, besides re-papering, re-painting and re-curtaining the rooms and purchasing a new stove, have repaired and enlarged the physical apparatus, spent fifty dollars in chemical ap- paratus, bought an expensive anatomical chart, and a small collection of geological specimens. Mr. Laurence Bradford has added many specimens to the latter collec- tion, besides donating a few natural history specimens.
57
The next examination for entrance to the High School will take place at the Academy, Monday, June 25, 1888, at 9 A. M. The requirements for admission in Arith- metic, Geography, Reading, and Spelling are the same as heretofore ; but in Grammar the examination will test the applicant's ability to use correct English in written language work, including letter-writing, easy compositions, and dictation exercises, and will test his knowledge of the parts of speech and their use in easy sentences. At the end of this report we give the course of study, as adopted by the Trustees and Committee, and the statistics for all of the schools.
In making this report we have remembered that it is for parents and for those who support the schools that this town report is issued, and that these have the right to expect from those whom they have selected to super- vise the schools, the clearest information, together with the best recommendations that experience and observa- tion can suggest. Such suggestions may help those who do not and cannot give their attention directly to school- work, and yet are directly interested in such work to so shape their policy in the bestowal both of material and of moral support as to raise the standard of the common schools, which every Republican government, and every part of such a government, must consider its first care.
