Report of the School Committee. .
The Statute of this Commonwealth makes the duty of the School Committee to report annually to the town the condition of its several schools, and make such sugges- tions as would, in their opinion, conduce to make them more efficient in completing the important purposes for which they were established.
The number of schools 7. The whole number of scholars, between the ages of five and fifteen years, as found in the town on the first day of May last, by the Assessors, was 147; between the ages of eight and four- teen years was 105. The whole number of scholars of all ages, in attendance in all of the schools, during the spring term, was 143; average attendance 111, those over fifteen years 4, and under five years of age 4. The whole num- ber of scholars of all ages, attending the schools during the fall term was 146, of which 5 were over fifteen years of age, and 5 under five years of age, the average atten- dance of fall term was 118. During the winter term 144 scholars were enrolled of all ages on the school registers, with an average attendanee of 112, of which 14 scholars were over fifteen and 5 under five years of age, the whole

ANNUAL REPORT.
number of scholars enrolled during the year was 158, average attendance 130.
Our schools as a whole have during the past years, been reasonably successful, our teachers have proved themselves efficient in, and competent for the work before them. It was our aim to secure and employ only such teachers' as had been trained in a professional school, or those whose experience in teaching had proved a success.
We regard only such teachers successful, in the best sense of the term, as train the mental and moral natures of the pupil in that way which best will accomplish the great ends for which the public schools were established, and they include that the teacher should be what he or she would have their pupils become. The success and usefulness of a teacher, depends vastly more upon what is known of the minds and natures of pupils in the school room, than upon what is known of books. Books are mainly the teacher's aid. Books made not a Franklin nor Dickens, but the wise use of the brain. Among the requisites for a teacher's success is a pleasant school-room, well arranged for comfort and convenience, and in addi- tion thereto, suitable text books for all grades of scholars composing the school. A teacher then having a commu- nicative tact or ability, aided by the united influence and sympathy of parents and committee, will rarely prove un- sucessful.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
The schools of the Commonwealth are State institu- tions. The State commands the schools to be supported. It requires the town authorities to provide the schools with competent teachers, and the teachers with suitable means for teaching ; and it also requires that every person
៛

*
ANNUAL REPORT.
having under his control a child between the ages of eight and fourteen shall annually cause such child to attend for at least twenty weeks some public school, and the attendance is required to be regular.
If . the parents and guardians of our children and youth properly appreciated the favorable circumstances which are set before them for the furtherance of the mental development and moral training of the children, we firmly believe that their duty would be seen and their responsibility felt, a better attendance secured, the schools thereby made more successful, and the great object of our school system secured. When we consider the num_ ber of pupils registered in our public schools, and their average attendance, a fact presents itself that there is culpability somewhere.
SCHOOL MORALS.
Under the provisions of the statute on this point, every school teacher's attention is called to the moral quality of the pupils' acts, and to guide them into and require of them a firm practice of every virtue. A rev- erence for parents and benefactors, the principles of justice, truth, sobriety and chastity should be instilled into the minds of the young during their school going days. "As the twig is bent the tree's inclined."
We regret, but we feel it our duty to make known in this our report, that in a few instances-we wish not to mention who nor where-profane and vulgar language has been practised. Our desire in the future is that all of our school scholars will be perfectly free from every practice, either in word or deed, tending to lower them in the estimation of teacher or schoolmate.
Our school children should be taught to respect
37
ANNUAL REPORT.
themselves, their parents, their teacher and their school. And as the teacher is the parent for the time being, it is expected that in school all legitimate instruction will be given. The system of manners as well as morals should hold an important place in the teachers' programme of school exercises.
SCHOOL STUDIES.
The branches taught in our schools-or rather at- tempted to be taught-are of such importance to the student that to be thorough is the only wise course to be pursued. A proper drill should be gone through with by the teacher until the subject matter or the lesson is un- derstood and perfectly fixed in the pupil's mind.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The school houses in our town exhibit clearly her ap- preciation of school education by the nicely looking and well arranged houses in which the teacher, parent and pupils can unite with pride to stimulate each the other in the very important work for which our school houses were erected. During the past year the school house in No. 4 has been enlarged and reseated at an expense of about $500.
At the last annual town meeting the town voted to erect a new school house in No. 2, thereby manifesting a munificent spirit in favor of our common school instruc- tion, which is of no small importance in this community.
Before concluding this report, it is befitting that we should pay a tribute of respect to our departed Chair- man, the Hon. Walter D. Nichols, who was for a long series of years a successful teacher of children and youth in our public schools, and as a member of our school board he for many years stood first. He was a man of
