SCHOOL REPORT.
Citizens of the Town of Duxbury-
The School Committee for the year 1898 would res- pectfully submit their annual report.
Our schools have been in session 37 weeks, and nothing has occurred to interrupt the regular work. There have been but few changes in our schools for the past year. Miss Annie L. Coffey resigned her position at Island Creek to ac- cept a much better one in Boston. She taught the Island Creek School very acceptably to the committee for a num- ber of years, and without doubt she will do good, efficient service in her new field of labor. Miss Susie S. Boylston, on account of ill health, asked for a year's leave of absence, which, in view of her long continued service, was granted. Miss Bertha M. Willey was appointed a substi- tute. Miss Grace D. Inman, for the same reason, was granted a leave of absence until Nov. 28. Miss Elizabeth Wadsworth took charge of the school until the return of Miss Inman. Miss Wadsworth has been appointed by the committee to do substitute work. At the close of the school year Mr. Thomas H. H. Knight resigned his position as Principal of the Partridge Academy to accept an appoint- ment in the English High School in Boston. By his resig- nation the academy has lost a successful teacher, and the town an honored and valued citizen. Mr. Herbert E. Walker, a native of the town and for several years a success- ful teacher, was elected to fill the vacancy. We feel con- fident that the high standard of the school will be fully maintained.
Some of our citizens think that natives of our town should be employed in preference to those elsewhere. Schools do not exist for the benefit of teachers. Our schools should have the best teachers that can be obtained with the salaries we pay, without regard to their place of residence. We would state, however, that at present only three teachers in our employ are non-residents.
As directed by our State laws, the School Committee
-4-
appointed the following persons as truant officers: Edwin W. Cook, William J. Turner, and the Superintendent. The number of cases to which their attention has been called has been very few. This speaks well for the town; and we hope that all persons will continue to interest themselves in hav- ing every child attend school promptly and constantly.
Soon after the commencement of the Fall term, Dr. John T. Prince, one of the agents of the Board of Educa- tion, visited several of our schools, and made brief examina- tions in the branches taught.
On the eve of Oct. 13 a public meeting was held in the Congregational Church, under direction of our superintend- ent. Practical and interesting addresses were given by J. W. MacDonald and John T. Prince, members of the State Board of Education, also by George A. Walton, formerly a member of that board, who, at one time, was employed as a teacher in this town. On the day following a Teachers' In- stitute was held at the Unitarian Church. Several members of the Board of Education were present. The exercises were of a very profitable character.
At a meeting of the joint board, held at Scituate, Henry Barstow was elected chairman and Miss Clara Skeele, secre- tary. Mr. Edgar Willard was unanimously elected super- intendent of schools for the district. Your committee are satisfied that much good has been accomplished since he has had the supervision of the schools, and we would recom- mend a continuance of the system.
All needed repairs have been made on our school houses during the year. They are in good condition, with the ex- ception of the house at the village, which has been com- mented upon in previous reports.
Your committee have not thought it best to reopen the High Street School, on account of the small number of chil- dren in that district, but we have continued paying tuition to the town of Pembroke, whereby the children have the benefit of an excellent school, at a very reasonable expense to the town.
At the annual meeting a committee of four were ap- pointed by the town to act in conjunction with the school committee to see what could be done in regard to the better accommodation of our public schools.

The town appointed Lawrence Bradford, Thomas H. H. Knight, Wendell Phillips, and Thaddeus Chandler. The committee met and organized, with Lawrence Bradford, chairman, and William J. Alden, Jr., secretary. No recom- mendations have been decided upon at the time of writing this report.
The grammar school has occupied the north room of Duxbury Hall during the past year. Memorial Day exer- cises were held in the upper hall, which were well attended by the friends of the school. We would extend our thanks to the ladies of the Unitarian Aid Society for the free use of the hall on that occasion; also for the co-operation and interest they have always taken in school work.
All of our schools have done good work during the past year. But citizens, please, remember that the teachers alone cannot make our schools successful. They must have the full co-operation of every parent. Work with the teacher, at home, and by your actions teach your children to honor and obey their teacher, and then results will be more satis- factory to all parties concerned.
Finally, the committee would urge parents to visit our schools more frequently, and by all means in their power to help the teachers in their school work.
Appended to this report will be found the reports of the principal of Partridge Academy and the Superintendent of Schools.
The committee would make the following recommend- ations for the ensuing year :-
Support of schools,
$4,000
School incidentals, 800
Repairs of school houses, 400
Salary of superintendent of schools, 250

PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
To the School Committee of Duxbury-
GENTLEMEN : In accordance with the custom of my predecessor, I submit the following report of Partridge Academy.
Few changes in the course of study or in the text-books have been made. The study of American authors has been taken in the middle year, thus leaving the study of British authors for the last year of the course. In connection with this change, Matthews' Introduction to American Literature has been adopted. The need of new text-books in English history being very apparent, Montgomery's text-book, in that subject, was introduced in place of the book that had been used so long. Shaler's First Book in Geology, for the senior class, and Williams' and Rogers' Book-keeping, for the middle class, have also been introduced.
The number of different subjects taught in the school makes it necessary that the daily sessions should be, at least, five hours, exclusive of the intermission, and it has been de- cided that the hours shall be from nine till half-past two, with an intermission of a half hour at noon.
The addition of a large stove to the schoolroom during the Christmas vacation has made it possible to have the schoolroom heated properly.
During recent years the school has received several presents from friends and former pupils. Among these may be mentioned portraits of Mr. Ritchie, the first prin- cipal, and the late Hambleton E. Smith, who took a deep interest in the school for many years. ] Besides these are the objects to illustrate natural history, which have been pres- sented by Capt. Walter Josselyn. More recently Miss Emma S. Stetson, formerly the assistant teacher, has pre- sented to the school an engraving, Shakespeare and His Friends, and Mr. Thomas H. H. Knight presented a clock at Christmas. These objects have been very acceptable to
