Though there is, and always will be, ample opportunity to improve the condition of the schools, there has been good thorough work done, and much advancement during the year. Last Spring an exhibit of the work of the schools in this district, was sent to an exhibit of the schools of the State, held in Boston, under the auspices of the New England Conference of Educational Workers. The work of our schools received many commendations. A former teacher in two towns of this district, and now well known in the State as an educator, being particularly strong in its praise .- Information has also been received that we are entitled to a diploma for the excellency of our exhibits at the World's Fair.

While praise from these sources does not tell the whole story in regard to our schools, yet, coming from persons who are recognized by every one as competent judges, it does show that the work will bear more than favorable comparison with schools in other towns in most instances better equipped to do good work.
The real test of the value of school work lies in the thoroughness with which it prepares pupils to become true men and women whose lives will be a success in every sense of the word. Comparisons of the work of schools of different towns and cities, by means of these exhibits, are of great value in determining the beneficial effect on children in accomplishing the end for which these schools exist. Our schools have not been found behind in this.
But as in all towns, we are confronted with one fact. There is no certainty as to what line of business each child is to follow in future years. Were all to become farmers, to a certain extent the problem would be easier. So would it be were all to become lawyers or merchants. Still in each case there would be the necessity of developing as fully as possible, all the faculties ; moral and physical, as well as mental. This must be done in any event.
The first end in all education then is development of the child's powers. Of the different studies pursued in the schools, arithmetic holds the highest place in popular estimation. In the sense that a knowledge of this branch is absolutely essential, and that a lack of a certain proficiency in it leads to utter failure, this opinion is correct. But the belief that the study of arithmetic tends to develop mental power in a greater degree than other studies is open to question. To the great majority of pupils time spent on such parts of arithmetic as compound proportion, alligation,
11
equation of payments, partnership and true discount is lost. It can be more profitably spent on some other branch, the study of which will give better mental training.
The ability to read well, if considered as the power to get thought from the written or printed page, is of great importance. Such power is the key which unlocks the way to all other studies. In this sense a good reader will be a better student in other studies than a poor reader ; natural ability being the same. Elocutionary power is also valuable. Almost all reading outside of the school is silent reading, each individual reading to himself and for his sole benefit. We read to acquire information. He is the best reader who can relate most fully the substance of what he has read to himself. Reading is taught in the schools with this end as the principal one. The introduction of selections from the best authors has furnished the pupils with the best thought. They are then reading something which is elevating and ennobling and which furnishes them with really valuable ideas. The ordinary Reader, while containing some grand selections, too often contains much of little value, much beyond the pupil's comprehension, and sometimes that which is absolutely pernicious in its effect. Elocutionary drill is not neglected.
The progressive study of language, oral and written, with such technical grammar as is necessary from year to year, trains the pupil to express his thoughts properly and with greater fluency. For this reason oral spelling is of less value than written. A knowledge of spelling is needed only when it is necessary to write our thoughts. A person may be able to "spell down" a whole town and still be unable to write a page without making many mistakes. Teachers could furnish many instances to prove this.
12
.
Drawing, as a means of expression of thought is generally unappreciated. Its value is not apt to be overestimated. It is oftenest underrated. It is of much value as a means of mental training and discipline. In our schools, containing so many grades, it is not possible to give the time to this study that it deserves. Were the schools of the town consolidated in two buildings, and more closely graded, better work could be done in the more essential studies, as well as in this. The teacher would be able to give more attention to each individual pupil. Individual progress from grade to grade would be more rapid. In many instances the pupil would be able to complete the common school course in from one to two years sooner than under present conditions. It is hoped that this can be accomplished in the near future.
We believe that, in this scientific and business era, the mission of the schools of country towns, from the High School down, is to prepare pupils for their life work, and in some cases to enter scientific schools. Much more is demanded of the schools than formerly, that these ends may be thoroughly accomplished. We need not look back many years to note the changes in business methods. The progressive spirit of the age demands that the schools supply to their pupils whatever is necessary to their proper success. "Each year renders the teacher's task more intricate and exacting. Many of the ideas that were accounted good ten or twenty years ago are not held in the same estimation to day." The fundamental principles of education change slowly. Many of these are, however, being questioned. "New studies, as well as new methods, claim attention, and everywhere we observe a rearrangement of courses of study." It requires the most careful consideration, not only on the part of school committees and superintendents, but by
13
teachers, to sift the wheat from the chaff; to decide what is and what is not valuable to the child. We have no right to experiment on the children, unless we are sure that there is to be at least some mental discipline gained.
Activity, energy and enthusiasm are as necessary in a teacher, as knowledge, or the mere power to impart that knowledge. With ability to govern and power to instruct, must go such activity, energy and enthusiasm as shall infuse into the school these qualities. Pupils must be taught to think, and think with energy. They must be incited to enthusiasm for their work. Education is drawing out and developing the child's powers so that he will acquire knowl- edge and power for himself. The teacher should be con- stantly gaining in skill in his profession. He cannot sit at his desk and pour out questions from the text-book, but casting the book aside, while before the class he should lead each individual to draw the facts from the lesson by his own reasoning powers. This is no light task. It requires constant study and thought, constant progress, a readiness to learn from every source possible, and aptness and energy in utilizing his forces for the best good of the pupils under his care. This applies with equal force to all grades of schools.
As a body the teachers of the Town have shown a most commendable spirit. Their efficiency has been very much increased. In many instances the highest praise is due.
Since the beginning of the Fall term, Mr. Arthur C. Boyden, of the Bridgewater Normal School, has given monthly lec- tures to the teachers on Nature Study and Language. These lectures have proved of great value. Miss Angie C. Damon has given gratuitous instruction in Swedish Gymnastics. Lectures on other branches of study will be arranged the coming year if possible.
14
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Committee for the courtesy and consideration which they have extended to me in my endeavors to improve the schools of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
E. H. WATSON, Superintendent of Schools.
PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
Through the courtesy of the School Committee I am per- mitted to make the following brief report of the work done in the Partridge Academy :
The time was when the principal aim of High school and Academy was to prepare its pupils for College or other advanced institutions; but with the present attractions of business life, it is only at rare intervals that any demand is made for a College preparatory course. Realizing that in most cases the Academy must conclude the school life of its pupils, the course has been planned to lay as broad and use- ful a foundation as possible for the after life to build upon.
A general knowledge of the sciences is deemed essential to a well-informed mind, and the teaching in this department is largely by experiment, with a view to lead the pupil to ob- serve and draw inferences for himself ; general principles and illustrations too complex for experiment, are sought in the text books.
In mathematics the changes that have been made are in the line of greatest benefit to the pupil ; in advanced arith- metic, instead of numerical puzzles, problems from actual business life are used, and it is hoped that in this way the pupils will get not only the mental training which any prob-
15
lems would give, but also familiarity with business methods. Geometry, to be of value, should be an exercise of the rea- son rather than the memory ; to secure this end, the text book is dispensed with entirely and the pupil is compelled to work out the truth by an application of his wits.
Assuming that a life of business would be the lot of some, and perhaps many of the Academy pupils, special attention has been given to book-keeping. With the younger class the text book has been followed for the sake of uniformity, until a degree of familiarity with business forms is acquired ; but with the senior class the text book is put aside, and as far as possible the work is identical with real business ; the pupils buy and sell with one another, write letters and tele- grams, make out bills and pay them when they become due, with either checks or cash, endorse and deposit checks in the bank, keep a bank balance and see that the cash on hand agrees with the cash balance every week, and in every re- spect carry on the business as it would actually be done, with the single exception that no goods are transferred. The success of the plan is attested, I think, by the fact that two of the class of '92 took positions in Boston as book-keepers without further training.
To supply what seemed a lack in the course, the authori- ties introduced the study of general history and also Ameri- can literature in the senior year, both very interesting and necessary.
In languages, the only requirement is one year of Latin, but I have, besides, a volunteer class in Cæsar, whose mem- bers are taking up this reading in addition to their regular work. This is an encouraging sign, not only because of the added training secured, but also because there are those who are willing to do work which they are not required to do.
16
Last year as an experiment, I began a simple course in manual training, with a volunteer class, out of school hours. The instruction I was able to give was very imperfect, but the results were so gratifying that I decided to take special lessons on the subject this year. Educators are recognizing the value of this kind of training, and that it has come to stay seems certain.
The class using the type-writer is making very satisfactory progress, and I can look forward with reasonable hope to a time when pupils will be able to take positions as type-wri- ters without outside instruction.
It is too early to say much as to the success of military drill so lately introduced, except that the interest shows no sign of flagging. At the same time that the boys are taking the drill, the girls have exercises in gymnastics. Referring to the drill, perhaps I cannot do better than call attention to the unqualified approval of military dr'll in schools given by Ex-President Harrison, in a recent number of the Century, in a response to a request for his opinion from the Grand Army of the Republic.
I cannot close this report without a grateful acknowledge- ment of the kindness and liberal spirit of the Trustees and Committee, supplying promptly and cheerfully whatever seemed necessary for advancing the interests of the school.
In conclusion, let me extend an invitation to the friends of the school to visit it freely, assuring them of a hearty welcome at any time.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS H. H. KNIGHT.

REPORT.
The Town officers of Duxbury herewith respectfully pre- sent their usual annual report for the year.
Through various causes the Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers of the Poor have not vacated their office at the Almshouse for one at Library Building, although a room has lately been prepared there (with exception of furniture) for their use. The present board has not strictly performed the seeming wish of the town as expressed at the last annual meeting in relation to an addition to the building at a cost not exceeding $1,500.00, which sum was appropriated. Their excuse for this is as follows : First, after issuing proposals, they found that it could not be erected, under plans present- ed, for that sum. Secondly, they considered that if that sum or more was to be expended for a Town office, the Town should have absolute control of the same, and not be subject to chance ejection therefrom, a chance however remote. Under this circumstance the Assessors did not carry into the last assessment but $500.00, which was considered abund- antly adequate to prepare the only available room and procure the necessary furniture.
Your Assessors, by vote of the Town, have had a copy of the valuation books printed in this year's Report ; also have added a map of the Town, showing the different streets, dividing lines of the several Districts, etc., which Mr. Lau- rence Bradford, with much painstaking and valuable time, generously prepared for printing without charge.
4
Your Overseers of the Poor, as will be seen in recommen- dations for appropriations, have reduced Support of Poor to $2,800.00. As there have been some drawing aid from this appropriation that should be given aid, if any, under Chap. 279, Acts of 1893, they have recommended an appropriation of $150.00 under this act. As the appropriation for Military aid exceeds the expense, they have recommended a reduction of this to $250.00. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Soule have continued in charge at the Almshouse the past year, with entire satis- faction to the Overseers.
Following is an account in detail of the different depart- ments of town service the past year.
