After this foundation is securely laid, the more advanced st of the High School may complete and adorn the whole. U the present system it is found necessary, in order to keep the ] School full, to reduce so far the standard of admission as to re it advisable to confine the entering class mainly to the compl and perfection of their Grammar School studies.
The remedy for this derangement must be looked for ir enlightened and persevering efforts of future Committees, must be a work of time.
The North District School continues to present a very sati tory appearance. The difficulties attending the care of a so are here increased by its comparatively small size, combined the great diversities of age and capacity among the pupils. Forbush has, however, never failed at examinations to afford p of continued effort and improvement.
The Committee have experienced much difficulty with the District School, and its present condition is unsatisfactory disorderly in the extreme. By reference to reports of former ( mittees, it may be perceived that this school has long been a so of much anxiety and trouble. The small number of pupils, their great disparity in age, seem to preclude all effective or zation, and shut out the salutary influences of a healthy emula Teachers placed in charge, seem to lose energy and hope, whil permanent improvement appears to reward their efforts. Woodbridge was succeeded by Mr. Badger, who, having trie vain to exert the desired influence over the school, has bee turn displaced by Miss Lucy Bradford ; but as no change for better appeared after a reasonable trial, she withdrew from situation, and the Committee have very recently appointed John Foster, with the hope that something may be done to a the impending disorganization of the school. They have g and will continue to give their best attention to it, and are entirely without hope, that another year may present a more ag able result.
The School in the Quincy Neck District, is also too small
9
mixed to compare advantageously with those which partake the advantages of thorough gradation, and the incitement to effort which increased numbers afford. Miss Burrill having resigned the charge of the school at the end of the summer term, it has since been under the care of Miss C. I. Baxter, whose faithful exertions for its improvement, have already produced a very marked change for the better, and upon whose continued zeal the Committee con- fidently rely.
And in this connection, and in view of the difficulty frequently experienced in the management of the larger and more unruly scholars, the Committee would again point out and urge the im- mense importance of a hearty and constant co-operation between teachers and parents in upholding and maintaining strict discipline.
Sensible people need not be reminded, that sympathy and encouragement afforded to the refractory by parents at home, render doubly arduous the labors of the teacher, and seriously injure the character of the scholar. It is quite apparent that any, even the slightest, conflict of authority, between the parent and the teacher, must be disastrous. That it is so practically, every day's experience very painfully proves. Partiality for one's chil- dren is necessary in a parent, and it is sometimes difficult to think, that the mortification or disgrace or punishment which a child has suffered, was deserved. In some cases, the system pursued by the teacher may be at variance with the sincere convictions of the pa- rent. In such instances, it is open for every one to use their efforts to amend the error, or right the wrong. This may be attempted either by professed hostility to both teacher and Committee, and loud complaints ; or by a quiet and friendly conference either with the teacher or the Committee, and a proper exposition of objections. From the former method much evil must result, and little or no satisfaction can probably accrue ; while by the latter course, good feeling is cultivated, the discipline of the school is maintained, the pupil is discouraged from perpetual complaints against the teacher, and an active co-operation is cultivated and strengthened. The same remarks will apply with undiminished force to the respective relations of the Committee with teachers and parents. A constant interchange of ideas, and suggestion of defects, would tend to improvement, and remove much discontent. Parents should arouse themselves to a conviction of the vast importance to the success of the schools, of a lively interest felt by them in school
2
10
matters ; and they are assured that neither time nor pains w. grudged by the Committee, which may aid to bring about a w active and efficient combination between parents, teachers and mittee, to promote the welfare and prosperity of the school pupils. Such a consummation is devoutly to be wished, and v present a most delightful contrast to the scene of active co between parent, teacher, pupil and Committee, which now infrequently disturbs the harmony which should prevail, and ously checks all satisfactory tendency to general improvement.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The High School is, for the larger portion of our citizen academy where the last finish is given to the useful, subst and plain English education which the Grammar School oug furnish to all who have faithfully improved their opportun They come here at a time when the disposition is plastic easily moulded, and they carry with them hence that tendency bias and fixedness of habit and association, which must inevi result in the production of either a worthy and useful or a w less citizen. It is therefore of the utmost importance tha influences here exerted, and the habits here acquired, shoul only of the most beneficial and salutary nature.
The school has continued, during the year, under the char Mr. Beals as Principal, and Miss Burgess as Assistant. Unde direction it has fully sustained and largely augmented its pre high character for discipline, thoroughness of instruction, anxious endeavor to improve. The willing, striving spirit w seems to animate the scholars not less than the teacher, is a gratifying feature in this school and a sure presage of success. is with great pleasure that the Committee read in Mr. B report, that, " the school at present is, almost without excep composed of industrious and faithful students. In respect to est studiousness, in correct manners and in its uniform moral it is believed this school would compare favorably with any grade."
The examinations have been invariably excellent, and the ( mittee have heard recitations in Algebra and Natural Philos and listened to exercises in Reading and Elocution which the not hesitate to say will compare advantageously with those of other country town in the Commonwealth. The recitation
11
Latin and Greek have also been of the highest character. Both Principal and Assistant have labored faithfully, earnestly and zeal- ously to make it worthy of its position, and their efforts have not been in vain. The habits of fixed attention, application, quick- ness of thought, accuracy of knowledge and exactness of state- ment, which the original and admirable methods of Mr. Beals tend to impress upon his pupils, are invaluable, and fairly entitle the school to a place in the very front rank.
Indeed, the only subject of solicitude here, is, that a laudable effort to exalt the standard of the school, may, by running into excess, present the spectacle of a fine and elaborately ornamented superstructure resting upon an infirm and deficient foundation. It is useless to attempt higher and more abstruse branches of study, until the roots of a good plain, English education have been struck wide and deep into the soil.
Undoubtedly-as has been said in the remarks upon Grammar Schools-by the best and most proper division of labor, all this should have been thoroughly done before leaving the Grammar School. But in the present relations of necessities to accommoda- tions, which it is our province to handle in such a manner as, upon the whole, may seem most advisable, such an arrangement appears to be, just now, very difficult, if not quite impracticable. Such being the case, the Committee find themselves in the singular posi- tion of retarding, rather than encouraging the advance of the school, and enforcing the propriety of careful review, rather than rapid progress.
The Committee which preceded us, appear to have apprehended that Mr. Beals inclined to allow too great application and too severe devotion to their studies, on the part of his pupils. Great care has been taken, during the past year, that the health and spirits of the scholars should in no case, which could be foreseen or pro- vided for, suffer from over-exertion. The instructions of the Com- mittee, indeed, were explicit ; to reduce the tasks to such a point as would require no more study out of school hours, than might be cheerfully given, without undue fatigue by pupils of average capacity. As far as known, the course of study prescribed in accordance with this direction has not exceeded these limits. Deli- cate and susceptible organizations may sometimes anxiously over- task themselves, and against this it is almost impossible to guard. The assistance and information of parents, upon this very important
12
subject, would be of great service to the Committee in endeavors to graduate the burden to the strength and dispositi the pupil. Learning obtained at the price of an injured con tution, can neither tend to the happiness of the individual, subserve the true interests of society.
And the Committee would refer, with the most hearty app tion, to the remarks upon this very important point, regarding proper amount of study to be required in this school, w are contained in the last Report of the School Committee. A: the same time they would recommend them anew to the se attention of both parents and teachers.
But it is not to over-study alone, that much of the ill-health o young people is due. The grand defect, in our system of educa consists in the utter absence of all attempt to cultivate physical h and development. The mind only is anxiously wrought, whil nerves may fail, the muscles dwindle and the lungs decay, fr mere neglect of the plainest laws of nature. Perhaps any reg system of exercise and healthful out-of-door amusement ma impracticable as matters are now arranged. But parents shou warned, that nothing can be more dangerons than the confine of scholars, for many hours every day, in a close and heated sc room, unless an abundance of pure, fresh air and active exerci taken with it as an antidote. Young boys and girls will romp play naturally enough, but the bane of the High School co in the sedentary habits of the pupils. Parents are earn advised to insist upon their children taking a much greater am of active exercise, in the open air, than they now do. This vital importance. The Committee feel confident that if this re mendation is complied with, most of the ill effects of close app tion will cease. Hard study and ruddy health will go han hand, and we shall no longer be called upon to deplore indica of premature weakness, disease and death, among the most am and promising of our youth.
In conclusion, the Committee would again call attention t exceedingly rough and unfinished state of the yard around High School-house, and urge the manifest propriety of some in diate action towards its improvement. They would also re mend a discontinuance of the present inefficient and inconver method of warming the house with stoves, and that a furna substituted as in the other new school-houses.
13
And, at the same time, it may not seem out of place to call atten- tion to the want of philosophical instruments for the use of the school. These are highly necessary for the successful prosecution of the useful and important study of Natural Philosophy, and the purchase of the most indispensable of them, if they may be pro- cured for a reasonable amount, is warmly recommended.
