of the community in regard to the education of children are so various that a greater simplification of the pro- gramme of studies is very difficult. Some prefer a strictly literary culture, including a knowledge of foreign languages, especially for girls, even expressing the desire that their daughters may pursue mathematical studies, only so far as to enable them "to make change in shop- ping." Others, who may have boys looking forward to mechanical and scientific employments, give the prefer- ence to studies of that nature, judging, very wisely, that excellence in these departments will conduce, most immediately, to their sons' future welfare. It is very pleasant to notice in this connection the high standing which several boys, who had their mathematical and scientific training in our High School, attained in the institution for which they were so well fitted, and their subsequent appointment to situations of profit and re- sponsibility.
With all these conflicting demands upon the instruction given in the High School, each of which should be equally respected, any plan for training the youth of the Town in one institution, managed in an economical way, must have some deficiencies ; must be wanting in unity. Economy demands that the number of teachers should be small ; the variety of studies to be taught calls for a larger supply of teaching power in order to carry on the work successfully. The interest of scholars is often dis- tracted by a variety of pursuits in attempting too much; so that persistency in work, so necessary to the accom-
107
plishment of satisfactory results, becomes almost imprac- ticable.
Six years ago the task of working out a plan of studies for the High School, with the hope of obviating the then existing difficulties, was imposed upon a sub-committee of three, by the School Board of this Town. One of these three was the Rev. Mr. Knapp, who has lately passed away. whose interest in this school especially, was so earnest and persevering, that he never ceased, while life remained, to plan and work for its welfare. This sub-committee addressed itself to the duty it had ac- cepted, and, after much thought, submitted the present programme of studies, which was adopted by the Board, and voted to be the future basis of the work of the High School.
Since its adoption, some improvement in important particulars is accomplished, and the school is at present under the control of a body of teachers, able, industrious and painstaking ; and under the favoring influence of the finest discipline, everything is done that can be done under the present conditions, to forward the physical, in- tellectual and moral welfare of those young people who are under the fostering care of this institution. So far as good health is concerned, the physical conditions are very unfavorable, as is well known to all, and it is not surprising that we hear so much of colds, contracted in a building, such as we are now compelled to use.
As some complaints of over-work were brought to the notice of the teachers of this school, it was very natur-
108
ally feared that some scholars, impelled by an enthusias- tic desire to excel, might occasionally over-step the bounds of moderation, which is a possibility, doubtless in all schools, and thus injure their health ; but it ought to be remembered, that in all such cases the responsibility belongs to the scholar and the parent, rather than the teacher. It is true, the teacher must always know when a scholar is doing more work than is consistent with good health, yet as this excess is caused by the tak- ing up by the pupil of too much of the strictly elective work of the school, and is sanctioned by the approval of parents, it is not easy for teachers to successfully inter- pose their authority. As these complaints have always seemed to proceed from sources that might give them a considerable weight, the Principal of the School was in- duced to make an appeal to the judgment of the parents.
In order to accomplish this, the following circular was addressed to the parents of the scholars. and one hundred and thirteen replies were received. The teachers were thus satisfied by the highest authority within their reach that the complaints were not well founded.
Circular.
PLYMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL. May 25, 1888. >
Wishing to work intelligently with the pupils of the High School, and feeling that health is of primary impor- tance, we respectfully ask parents and guardians to con- sider carefully the following questions, and to be so kind as to return candid answers to them on or before June 4.
109
In replying to Question IV, it should be remembered that late or irregular hours for retiring, improper food, the lack of daily out-door exercise, and the numerous de- mands of social life, contribute largely to the ill-health of our young people.
CARRIE E. SMALL, Principal.
I. How much time daily, on an average, does your child devote to study. out of school ? Answer: From one to two hours.
II. Is less work desirable ? Answer: No, 100; yes, 8; don't know, 2 ; no answer, 3.
III. Is more work desirable ? Answer: No, 99; yes, 6 ; don't know, 2 ; no answer, 3; left to teacher to de- cide. 3.
IV. Is there any evidence of over-work from study alone? Answer: No, 107; yes, 3; cannot tell, 3.
Geography.
Considerable effort has been made during the last year to improve our methods of teaching this all-impor- tant branch which has reference to a knowledge of the earth's surface and what it produces. The results hither- to obtained have been far from satisfactory, although a reasonable proportion of the hours allotted to school work has been devoted to this study, and teachers have not been wanting in industry and zeal ; but after all their exertions, they feel that their time has not been well spent. and that they will hardly satisfy the expectations of those interested in their work. The extent and

variety of the knowledge required of scholars between the ages of eight and fourteen years is very often dis- couraging to those who have to instruct them. The routine methods of handling the subjects of this depart- ment of education very generally practised in schools is the principal cause of the want of success. Under this treatment, the mental activity of the scholar is not aroused, few of his faculties are exercised, but, in the course of time, by the stupefying process of repetition, he becomes qualified to make quite a respectable figure in a formal examination in which the questions are strictly confined to the matter contained in the text-book. The amount of geographical knowledge obtained in this way is very small, and the quality must be poor, if we can rely on the confessions of those who have laid aside their text books for a year or two. It is not intended by these strictures to imply that our teachers are not intelli- gent and industrious in the performance of their duties ; on the contrary, this part of the work of education is, doubtless, as well done in our schools as elsewhere; the method here described is chronic and almost universal. The mode of written examination generally practiced is partly to be blamed in this matter. When teachers are urged to a more liberal treatment of the subject, they reply that they are hedged in by limitations which do not encourage, to say the least, such liberal treatment, but rather invite the old routine ; that is, a rigid adher- ance to the text-book, and a repetition of tasks until the scholars are so familiar with that portion of the text-
111
book under review, that they can pass their examination with certainty, and secure the desired promotion.
The experiment now being made will, it is hoped, bring about a change in teaching geography in our schools which will prove highly favorable to the intel- lectual development of the scholar. A series of topics has been arranged in the order of their relation to each other, forming an outline of the science to suit the amount of time which can be appropriated to this study in our schools. At the beginning of a term, the teachers of a grade are called together, and after the usual dis- cussion of the work of the coming term. the topics are agreed upon, and the teachers requested to give out the subject of their lessons to the scholars a day or two before the time for recitation, so that the children can have ample opportunity to consult the reference books of all kinds. in addition to their text-books, which, indeed. will be used, hereafter, only as reference books always at hand.
This method of treating this very important branch of school-work will, at the outset, call on the scholar for some original attempts, and by degrees, must train him in the use of books for the investigation of any subject which may engage his attention. Of course, these efforts will be very crude at first, but with judicious help and encouragement from the teacher, he' will soon acquire confidence and skill, and will, finally, receive a benefit from this kind of work which will aid him in all the studies of the school-room. It is confidently believed
IS

e
lo t,
le rt.
:
112
that the teachers, also, will be benefited by the change in the method of geographical instruction, for they will not have their work prescribed for them in the text-book ;. only a few general topics will be supplied, and all the details will have to be worked out according to their own judgment. To do this well, much thought must be put into the work ; books must be consulted on all the subjects handled; questions from inquisitive scholars must be answered, and everything done that belongs to an original treatment of the topics which form the basis of the lesson.
Drawing.
An attempt has been made during the last year to in- troduce into the schools more uniformity of system in the practice of drawing among the various teachers, and with considerable success. The attainments have been very fair, and both teachers and scholars deserve great credit for the care and the skill displayed in the specimens of their work in drawing, as well as for the neatness of their penmanship in the well prepared compositions that have come monthly for examination to the Superinten- dent. But it is highly desirable that a professional teacher of drawing should be employed to give instruc- tion at stated intervals to the teachers, so that they may skilfully and confidently lead their pupils onward in this eminently useful art. Its practical bearing is so self- evident that it is thought nothing further need be said to secure attention to this important object,
113
Music.
The interest in music still prevails in the schools gen- erally, and in some the success is quite remarkable. This success, in special instances, demonstrates the fact that it is not at all necessary that the permanent teacher of the school need be an adept in music, but may be de- ficient in the ordinary appreciation of sounds, and still, by industry and enthusiasm in urging the school in the daily practice of the lesson assigned by the special teacher of music, results may be attained which are really surprising. Experience thus shows that the want of musical training on the part of the permanent teachers is no bar to the most gratifying success, if only those teachers have the mastery of their scholars and keep them alive to their work.
After a recent special review of all the music work in the schools, there seems to be ample reason to expect a wide-spread diffusion of practice and skill in this most useful and attractive art.
Evening School.
During the last year no public Evening School has been maintained in our Town, which has caused consid- erable inconvenience. There are many young people among us, whose educational advantages have been limi- ted, on account of their having been obliged to leave school earlier than they otherwise would, in order to earn a livelihood, and whose daily employments forbid them to use any other time than the evening to pursue
114
further the study of the common branches of school education. These would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by an Evening School for practice and improvement in these studies.
The law of our State that prohibits admission to our manufactories of workers under twenty-one years of age. who cannot read and write the English language, ex- cludes quite a large number of foreigners, who are now admitted only under pledge to obtain private instruction. This, in most cases, is a very difficult condition, liable to misuse, and often causes serious inconvenience to all con- cerned. These various considerations would seem to render it morally obligatory upon the Town to maintain an Evening School, where not only our own youth who need it, but the foreigners among us, may receive such instruction as will be not simply a benefit to them, but will advance the business interests of the Town and the prosperity of the community.
The sum of money appropriated last year for this pur- pose, was inadequate to the measure proposed, and it is to be hoped that the Town will this year take this matter into serious consideration in making the appropriations for educational needs.
Changes of Teachers.
The vacancy in the Long Pond School, caused by the death of Miss Nellie F. Pierce, is filled by Miss Nellie B. Holmes, of Manomet Ponds.
The school, at Ellisville, is this year taught by Miss
115
Emma Leadbetter, of Weston, in place of Miss Addic H. Blackmer, resigned.
Some changes of place were caused by the resignation of Miss Lucy May Harlow, and the appointment, conse- quently, of a new teacher. Miss Mary F. Klingenhagen was elected, and assigned to the North Sub-Primary School, formerly taught by Miss Myra C. Holmes.
The vacancy in the Mt. Pleasant School, caused by the resignation of Mr. S. S. Crocker, is filled by Mr. John W. Herrick, of Bridgewater.
Miss Harriet L. Merrow, teacher of Physics and Chem- istry in the High School resigned her situation at the close of the Spring term, and her place was supplied by Miss Emma F. Eames, of Reading.
In Memoriam.
We regret to have to record. this year. the death of one of our most earnest and faithful teachers, Miss Nellie Florence Pierce. She graduted from our High School, February 5, 1878. While there she was noted for sound scholarship, and by her unvarying amiability and devo- tion to her school duties she gained the esteem and respect of her class-mates and teachers. After her grad- uation from the High School, she took the school at Long Pond, which she taught for three years with much success, and highly to the satisfaction of the community. Her cherished desire was to make teaching a profession, and with this end in view, in order to advance herself in the knowledge of the principles of the art, she took a two-
116
years' course at Bridgewater Normal School, entering February, 1885, and graduating January, 1887. She then returned to Plymouth; and as soon as a vacancy occurred in her old school at Long Pond, she was asked to fill it. which she did much to the gratification of the people there, who, as well as the children, were warmly attached to her. She returned to her school there in October, 1887, and left it, June, 1888, when failing health com- pelled her to resign. She died January 5, 1889.
We can only touch here upon the most prominent characteristics of her whose life, so full of promise of usefulness, has so early closed. She was mild and affec- tionate in disposition, gentle and unassuming in manner, but those who knew her well, both as a scholar and teacher, recognized in her character, the sterling quali- ties of solidity, clearness, precision and perseverance, which combined to render her so efficient and successful in her chosen vocation. Her death brings a great loss to the community in which she moved, for the influence of a truly conscientious teacher is inestimable; and the memory of her virtues will long remain with those who knew and loved her.
With renewed thanks to the Committee for the kind- ness and co-operation received, this report is respecfully submitted.
