SCIENCE.


The subject of the introduction of more science into pur schools was discussed in the report of last year, but


17


little has been actually done, simply because the teachers have not had the means to work with. If our teachers were trained scientists, they would need little more than the order to begin the work ; but it is not discreditable to our teachers that they are not trained scientists, for even if they are graduates of the Normal Schools, or Colleges, they have found but little in those institutions that would make them acquainted with the elementary facts of modern science, and would give them such a knowl- edge of its principles and methods as would enable them, independent of class books, to impart to young children, in attractive manner such knowledge of the workings of nature around them as they can comprehend. This power implies a great deal. It implies that the teachers themselves have acquired habits of obser- vation and thought sufficient to lead the minds of children to notice those relations which, in their untrained grasp of facts, they will naturally fail to see. Now, there are already as many studies in the schools as the time allowed to teachers and scholars will permit, and if anything new is attempted, it can only be substituted for something else. A change can be made in the reading department. Instead of the common class book for miscellaneous reading we can substitute, in part, class books in science, which can now be had in abundance and variety, suitable for all grades of schools, from the Primary to the High School. These books will serve to give the needed help to teachers, who can use them according to their best judgment as reading lessons, After the reading lesson, conversation


18


should follow, which would explain difficulties, increase the interest and give the inspiration that would drive the scholars, on the first opportunity, to the fields, the woods and the waters ; to the wharves, the machine shops and the factories, to bring home trophies which the teachers, in many instances, must again explain. After this, a little essay, summing up the scholar's experience, will put his observations in order, and impress the subject on his mind. In order to meet these exigencies, reference books ought to be furnished, sufficient to supply all the demands of the school, and to tide over the difficulties which must, at first, exist there. The work of the Primary Schools will be limited, of course, to the simplest facts, used, for the most part, to cultivate the perceptive faculties of the children, especi- ally the sense of sight ; for they must begin early, if,.in the course of a long life, they are to learn to see. Throughout the different grades of schools, the skilful teacher would, of course, adapt the instruction to the expanding powers of the scholar.


If this course of reading were pursued in our schools, beginning with the Primary and ending in the Grammar schools, it would change the character of the instruction given there. Instead of the excessive mechanical drill, to which an unreasonable importance is attached, we should have more freedom and variety of movement, more that would attract and arouse the scholar, and develop in him, from his earliest years, the habit of original investi- gation. The self-activity which this treatment would bring about, would be of more value than any knowledge


19


acquired in the common course of instruction, for it would cultivate the reasoning powers of the pupil so as to enable him to deal successfully with the daily questions of common life.


In conclusion, a cordial invitation is offered to all who are interested in the schools of the Town. to visit them and examine for themselves. Any such attention would be very pleasing to the teachers, encouraging to the scholars, and, it is confidently believed, gratifying to the visitors themselves.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES BURTON, Superintendent.

Payments have been made during the year on account of Duxbury & Cohasset Railroad Loan, of $1,500, making the funded debt $116,000 against #117,500 last year. There has also been paid, on temporary indebtedness, the sum of $1,200, making the reduction in funded and temporary indebtednes $2,700 the past year.


The over drafts, including the sums expended for new reser- voir, and Chiltonville water extension, are $5,561.73 in excess of last year, which is in part offset by the following items of credit, viz. : payment on account of loans as above stated, $2,700 gain in Bank and Corporation taxes, and miscellaneous receipts in excess of revenue covered into the treasury, $1,740.83, leaving a balance of $1,120.90, which represents the increase of the debt for the year.


There has been added to the Water Scrip Sinking Fund during the year from net income from Water Works in 1885, the sum of $1,000, balance of premium on Water Loan, $317.50, and income from the fund, $210.20, which added to the fund of last year, makes its present value, Dec. 31, 1886, $5,398.68. There will be available for the fund an additional sum of $2,50C, net income from Water Works the past year, which, with the increased market value of the securities, give assurance that the fund will amply provide for meeting the loan on account of Pumping Station, due in 1890.


Authority was given the Selectmen, at the meeting authoriz- ing the Water Commissioners to construct a new reservoir, to provide for the expenditure by a loan, limited within a period of 10 years. As the work is not completed, and further addi- tions to the Works are contemplated, it has been deemed advisable to await the action of the Town, when a new loan can be authorized, which shall distribute the payments both in time and amount, so as not to increase existing obligations, and become burdensome to the Town, as the loan as at present authorized is likely to do.


10


The whole amount assessed for taxes in 1886 was $70,600, against $71,526.06 in 1885, with an increased valuation of $372,875, of which $179,200 was in real, and $193,675 in per- sonal property, reducing the rate from $14.00 in 1885 to $12.80 in 1886. The present rate is not likely to be maintained with the increased appropriations to be provided for at the annual meeting.


There has been expended during the year for Indigent aid to soldiers, the sum of $1,129.64. The amount due from the State will leave a deficiency of $564.82 to be provided for.

The gross expenditure for roads and bridges, the past year, has been $11,193.29, against $10,019.23 last year, and less the work on new roads and earnings of the teams in other depart- ments, is $9,228.42 against $8,109.01 in 1885. The difference being principally in the item of labor, the Town having voted to increase the pay of its laborers to $2.00 per day, which went into effect on the 1st of April.


A special appropriation of $600 was made at the annual meeting, to improve the drainage at the junction of High with Summer Street and Willard Place. It was found necessary to effectually provide for the surface water, to carry it under the main street from the foot of High Street, by laying an 18-inch pipe from that point, through Willard Place to the brook below, and connect it with under pipes to receive the surface water from Summer Street above that point. It has so far proved effective, and with the change of grade and removal of the rough pavement on Willard Place, has removed all cause of


12


complaint and proved satisfactory to those living near and passing over that locality. The cost of the improvement was $606, slightly exceeding the appropriation.


There has been expended for permanent improvement of sidewalks, $1,127.87, of which $174.25 was for repairs on con- crete walks, the balance being for new work.


The general repairs on roads, in other respects, has not varied materially from the previous year, but with the addition of new roads and increased cost of labor, an appropriation of $8,000, in addition to the balance standing to the credit of the account, and the further sum of $1,000 for permanent improvement of the sidewalks is recommended.

Of the above expenditure on account of new roads, the sum of $1,267.67 has been expended for the construction of Whiting Street, $439.47 for the construction of Nelson Street, $168.77 for working the road at Cedarville, and $35.50 for surveys and outstanding bills on Court Street widening, in all, $1,911.41, creating a deficiency of $208.41, as shown in the account.


13


The working of Nelson Street and road at Cedarville were ordered by the County Commissioners, the latter being a county way, the former a town way, involving a cost for land damages disproportionate to the benefit to the Town.


An order of notice has been served on the Town by the County Commissioners, for the widening of Main Street, which assesses upon the Town as its proportion of the cost, the sum of eight thousand dollars, the same to be paid into the County Treasury, on or before June 1, of the present year, which will largely increase the appropriations in this department, unless otherwise provided for by the Town. There remains of un- finished work in this department, the working of Bartlett Street, and the widening lately made by the Commissioners at the junction of South and Pleasant Streets, for which an approp- riation of $400 will be needed.


A petition and survey, for the laying out of a town way from Summer to Stafford Street, has been presented to the Select- men, upon which a hearing has been granted, and the proposed route carefully looked over, to judge of its feasibility and probable costs.


The Selectmen find that the cost for land damages and con- struction will probable equal, if not exceed, $5,000.00, that the demand for, and convenience of, public travel between the points named, would not justify such an expenditure by the Town, that the road would not make available land to any extent suitable for building purposes, it would also be an ex- pensive road to maintain, owing to the grade and character of the soil.


There is already a good and sufficient way accessible to most of the population living in that vicinity, which would not be materially improved in case the road petitioned for was built, to relieve the parties living on the line of the road, who at present, may suffer some inconvenince in case of snow, and from making occasional repairs on the bridge over the stream


14


of the Robinson Iron Co., the Selectmen recommenned that the repairs and removal of snow be borne by the Town, and such repairs made on the present way, as will accommdate the demands of travel over it.


An appropriation of $8,400 to include the amount needed to provide for the estimated expenditures, is submitted.

The income from Water Works the past year, less the amount received for labor and materials supplied to the Plymouth Cordage Co., is $14,771.42, against $14,670.30 in 1885, showing an apparent gain for the year in receipts of $101.12. The expenditures for the same time have been $12,123.40, against $13,563.03, a difference in expenditure of $1,439.63 and includ-


ing balance of last year, after payment of $1,000 to trustees of Water Scrip Sinking fund, viz .: $125.09, there remains a balance to the credit of the Works for the year of $2,773.11 as appears in the statement, which under a vote of the Town will be applied to the sinking fund. The funding of the loan effecting a saving in interest charges of $1,400 annually, accounts in part for the increased net income from the Works. Of the loan

due in 1885, $2,000 of the bonds are still outstanding, on which coupons for 2 years' interest are unpaid, as the funds for the payment remain in the treasury until called for, they do not, as would otherwise appear, count as a part of the water debt.


There has been expended during the year for extensions, the sum of $1,080.55, which has been charged in the general expenses, and in estimating what credit should be given to the Works, this sum should be added to the net income. With the addition to the Works now in progress and contemplated, the expenses will be increased, and it is difficult to estimate with any certainty, while extensions are included in expenses, what income can be relied upon as a basis to provide for a sinking fund or retirement of new loans. Reference to the report of the Commissioners and Superintendent will give the detailed operations for the year.

The action of the Town at its Annual Meeting in appropriat- ing an additional sum for street lights, was understood by the Selectmen as indicating a desire on the part of the Town, to test the system of lighting the streets by electricity. Arrangements were accordingly entered into with the Plymouth Electric Light Co., to furnish 7 electric lights, to be located in the most travelled parts of the Town, at a cost of 40 cents per night, to burn 300 nights in the year, and to be

kept lighted from dark until 12 P. M., at a cost for the year of $120.00 each. This number has displaced 14 gas lights, costing $284.00. There are now 40 street lights burning gas, and 21 burning either oil or illuminating gas, in addition to the 7 electric lights, the cost of the present system, including gas supplied the Town House, will cost about $2,000 annually. The electric light having been in operation since May 20, the public have had an opportunity to form a comparison of the merits of the two systems, and determine by their action the method to be adopted for the present year.


In case the present system is continued, an appropriation of $1,750 will be required.
