Report of the School Committee


FOR THE YEAR 1884.


In accordance with requirements, the School Commit- tee of the Town of Plymouth make their annual report.


FIRST. We have kept the regular expenses within the limits of the appropriations. The amount overdrawn is on account of "school books and supplies," purchased under the law passed by the Legislature of 1883-4, which obliges towns to furnish to children attending the public schools all books and supplies used in the school- room.


It is not for your Committee to question the wis- dom of this law ; but they wish to draw attention to the fact, that in asking for the additional money to be used for books and supplies-a large sum -- they are not acting on their own judgment, but under a State law which they are obliged to obey.


SECONDLY. The money appropriated by the Town for a new school-house has been used in the purchase of a lot near Mount Pleasant, and the erection of a building which accommodates, with abundant space and light, three schools-one Grammar School, one Second Grade


-


4


and one Third Grade School, which have all been trans- ferred from the High School-house to the new building. The land around the new school-house, now owned by the Town, furnishes what every school building should have, but which no other in the centre of the Town pos- sesses, namely, ample play-grounds. The cost of the land and building did not exceed the special appropria- tion, but an additional outlay of $800 was required for providing heating apparatus and extra masonry.


THIRDLY. On the resignation of Mr. Adams, Mr. Bur- ton accepted the position of Superintendent of Schools ; and his place, as Principal of the High School, was filled by the appointment of Mr. A. J. Eaton. The additional assistant in the High School, so long needed, has been secured, to the great gain of the school. Miss Emma F. Briggs, an experienced teacher, fills the place. One of the rooms in the High School building, left vacant by the removal of the Grammar School to the new building, is used as a recitation room for the new Assistant.


FOURTHLY. There has been thorough and successful work done by all our teachers, from the High School down ; and the Committee feel that the Town can be con- gratulated on having the services of a set of teachers of superior qualifications, and genuine devotion to their work.


FIFTHLY. The number of scholars in the Intermediate School in the northern part of the Town far exceeds the capacity of the school-room. There were seventy-two pupils there at [the beginning of the Fall term. The


5


Committee feel that there is an absolute necessity for an- other school-room, and they, therefore, recommend that an addition be made to the present building, and that an appropriation of $700 be made for the same. They recommend this as a much cheaper method than buying another lot and putting up a separate building.


SIXTHLY. The following votes have been recently passed by the Committee. They touch upon important points, and are the result of long and careful considera- tion on the part of the Committee. They will lead to some decided changes in the course of study in the vari- ous schools, aiming especially to secure to scholars who can only go through the Grammar Schools more ad- vanced studies than they could reach under the existing system. The changes will, of course, be attended with some difficulties, and at first with considerable additional labor to the Superintendent, but we are confident that the results will meet a recognized demand.
