The Grammar Schools, in the Centre, South, West and Quincy Point Districts, have attained a high reputation for dis- cipline and progress, and they are well entitled to all the praise bestowed upon them. In three of the districts the teachers have labored long and earnestly, and the high position of the several schools are evidence of industry, efficiency and fidelity, of those to whose charge they have been committed. In the other district-the Centre-Mr. Upton commenced his labors a little more than a year ago. He came to the school well recommended as an experienced and thorough instructor, pos-
6
sessing high literary qualifications, and it is with great satisfac tion that your Committee state, that Mr. Upton has proved himself fully adequate to the discharge of his responsibl duties, and in all respects has justified their highest expectations
No better recommendation can be accorded to Mr. Morse than that he has devoted the past ten years of his life to instruc tion in this town, and through all the mutations of the Schoo Committees, he has been annually re-elected to the position o master of the Grammar School, and always receiving higl commendations in the several yearly reports to the town, as just tribute to his ability and success. His school being the largest in the town, the Committee thought proper, during portion of the past year, to employ, for a part of each day, al assistant, and they were fortunate in obtaining the services o Miss Bigelow, a pupil in Mr. Morse's school for several years She has been found well qualified and of great service as a assistant-teacher.
Mr. Dewing has been the Principal of the Grammar Schoo in the West District for eight consecutive years-a sufficien indication that, in the opinion of the several School Committees his method of instruction has been approved, and that hi efforts to instruct the pupils under his charge have met with decided success. During the long period of his residenc among us, he has continued a useful and popular teacher, an has a strong hold upon the respect and gratitude of those whos children are placed under his fostering care.
Mr. Murdock's school, at Quincy Point, is in a thriving an satisfactory condition. The examinations of the Committee i his department, during the past year, have been of the mos gratifying character, manifesting great progress in study, an excellent order and discipline. Mr. Murdock has been a teache in this town many years, and his qualifications in that characte are rarely excelled.
The school at Quincy Neck, averaging through the year daily attendance of about 35, and composed in part of pupil suited for an Intermediate School and in part for a Primar School, has been under the charge of Miss Baxter. It has eve been quiet and orderly, and has met with a good share o success.
7
The East District or Germantown School, has not been so satisfactory as the Committee could wish. Mr. Foster was employed here as instructor, till the commencement of the winter term. At that time the Committee found it lacking in discipline and order. Little interest was manifested by the scholars in their studies, and the attendance was irregular. The Committee would by no means do Mr. Foster injustice. No question can be raised as to his literary qualifications. In other schools, larger in numbers, he would doubtless prove himself a useful instructor. It was thought advisable, at the commencement of the winter term, to make a change, and the Reverend Mr. Rice, one of the School Committee, was induced to take charge of the school. His method of teaching, and the deep interest he took in the school and in the scholars, soon produced a favorable change, and the examination at the close of last month, satisfied the parents and friends of the pupils, that industry and close attention, on the part of the teacher, would remedy very much the defects which have hitherto existed in the school. Something, however, must be done by the parents, as without their aid the efforts of the teacher arc in vain. Let the parents see that the children attend school constantly, and that they be punctual at the commencement of each day's session. Mr. Rice was necessarily absent for a few days, during which time Miss Crane took charge of the school. From the reports which have come to the Committee, we infer that she is admirably fitted for a teacher.
It is with great satisfaction that the Committee allude to the North District School, under the charge of Mr. Forbush. Like the schools at Germantown and Quincy Neck, this is not a graded school, but is composed of pupils of all ages and all degrees of advancement. There now exists, and must always exist, unavoidable causes for irregular attendance. Some of the pupils reside about two miles from the school-house, who, in bad weather, especially in the winter season, cannot con- veniently be constant in their attendance. Yet notwithstanding this difficulty, Mr. Forbush has elevated the condition and char- acter of his school, in discipline, in thoroughness, and in progress, never before attained by any of his predecessors. During the three years that he has taught in this district, he has been very successful, and has enjoyed, to a large extent,
8
the confidence and support of the parents and friends of th pupils under his charge.
INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS.
There are four of this grade. That taught by Miss Ayer, the Willard School-that taught by Miss Holbrook, of th Adams School-that taught by Miss Bowditch, of the Quinc Point School-were all found to be in excellent condition, an the Committee can safely characterize them as good schools i the fullest acceptation of the term.
There has been some embarrassment in the government o the intermediate department of the Coddington School, durin the past year. Miss Moulton resigned after teaching a fe weeks, and was succeeded by Miss Brackett, who was oblige to contend with a few refractory boys, and they gave her grea uneasiness and trouble, and much impeded the prosperity the school. The Committee, upon visiting the school, addresse some plain admonitions to the pupils, upon the unsatisfactor condition of the school, and their remarks in connection wit the untiring efforts of Miss Brackett, produced a marke improvement in its appearance and character. In consequenc of a new relation in life assumed by Miss Brackett, her conne tion with the school was dissolved, but she left with the reputa tion of a faithful, well-qualified and energetic teacher.
At the commencement of the winter term Miss Spear suc ceeded Miss Brackett, and has continued to the present time The Committee are sorry to be obliged to make any remark tending to reflect upon the condition of any school, but it i their duty to make a detailed report of the true condition o the several public schools, to the town ; to bestow approbation where it is merited, and to point out, in a friendly manner such imperfections as come under their notice. In Miss Spear' school stricter discipline should be enforced, so that order- Heaven's first law-should be established as a vital step t success.
Miss Spear has good qualifications for a teacher. Educate in our High School, she held a high rank as a scholar, and with more energy and experience, we cannot doubt she will prove useful and accomplished teacher.
9
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
Of this class of schools there are eight. Believing them to be more important than any other grade of schools, they have attracted much interest from the Committee, whose examina- tions of them have been as thorough as perhaps at any former period. Those under the charge of the Misses Beale, New- comb, Foster, Veazie, Underwood, and Dodge, have maintained that high reputation through the year spoken of by the Com- mittee in their last annual report. It would be invidious to single one out of these schools for the bestowment of special approbation. They have continued through the year to hold the highest rank, and are entitled to great praise.
Miss Bartlett took charge of the Primary School in the High School building in April last. She fitted for a teacher at the Bridgewater Normal School, and brought with her good testi- monials. During the summer term the order and discipline of the school was not such as the Committee desired. There was a lack of interest and decorum in the pupils, which marred the prosperity of the school. The Committee, hoping that a little more experience would enable the teacher to bring her pupils under her control, continued her in office, and they feel pleased to say that the school has very much improved, and they believe, that with a little more experience and energetic action on the part of the teacher, she cannot fail to bring her school to a par with those previously alluded to. The last examination was very creditable, and the order and discipline of the school was much improved. Miss Bartlett is faithful and assiduous, and is worthy of encouragement.
The Primary School at Quincy Point was under the charge of Miss Packard the past year until December, when she retired. The change was made with much regret by the Com- mittee, as Miss Packard has many warm friends in the district, who urged her continuance very warmly as a teacher in the school. Besides, she has many qualifications for a teacher, and bears also an excellent character.
The gentleman on the Committee who had the special super- vision of the school affairs of that district was not satisfied with the condition of the school, and believed it his duty to urge a change, as in his opinion a new teacher would give better satis-
2
10
faction, and that the pupils would make more rapid progre in their studies, and the Committee with much reluctand acquiesced.
Miss Gannett, of Dorchester, succeeded Miss Packard, an her perfect success in the management of the school has been source of much satisfaction to the Committee. A few yea since she taught in the same district, and her excellence as teacher was so universally acknowledged, that the parents the children in that district were readily reconciled to tl change. The examinations in all the schools have been ver satisfactory.
In regard to the several branches of education taught in a grades, from the Primary to the Grammar Schools, the Cor mittee have found a marked improvement. In reading, tl pronunciation has been clear and distinct, proper regard beir paid to the inflections of the voice, and the great rule, " read well is to read naturally," has been adhered to an enforced by the teacher. In some schools declamation has bee practiced, which has an unfailing tendency to make god readers.
Some recitations of the grammar classes were of a superi order, showing thoroughiness in the elementary principles. Tl exercises in mental and written arithmetic in the schools when these branches are taught, conducted on the principle of ana ysis, were exceedingly satisfactory. In fractions the schoo were found prompt and proficient. The penmanship w good, and the writing books were generally neat, althoug there was not so much improvement in that brancli, as tl Committee could wish. The most prominent mark of progre in the schools was spelling, for which teachers and pupils a entitled to much commendation. As the most certain eviden of a defective education is inaccuracy in spelling, the Commi tee trust that the most constant efforts of the teachers will devoted to this branch. It is peculiarly the province of tl Primary and Intermediate Schools to teach spelling, for if ne lected in those schools, it is difficult-almost impossible remedy the defect by any subsequent training or attention.
The discipline of the schools, with some slight exception has been good, and the moral deportment unexceptionabl Notwithstanding the number of pupils has exceeded thirtee
11
hundred, yet in no instance has there been cause of complaint against them, and the town of Quincy can point to her young scholars with hope, with pleasure, and with pride.
HIGH SCHOOL.
At the commencement of the school year the High School was under the charge of Mr. I. N. Beals, as Principal, and Miss Burgess, as Assistant. At the close of the first term it was deemed indispensable by the Committee that the Principal should be dismissed, and such dismission was accordingly made. At the close of the summer vacation the Assistant sent in her resignation, and it was accepted. The Committee then caused notice to be inserted in the public press that a teacher was wanted in our High School, and many applications were received, from which we selected Mr. Samuel A. Duncan, a graduate of Dartmouth College-a scholar of excellent repute in all the branches required to be taught in our High School. The Committee were fortunate in securing the services of Miss Dow as an Assistant, whose reputation as a scholar is rarely excelled. In this selection the Committee feel particularly gratified, as Miss Dow has long been a resident in the town, and a part of her education has been acquired in our public schools. It was natural that some fears should have been entertained by the Committee lest the new teachers might not meet with that success which was so ardently desired. A few weeks only had elapsed when such fears were entirely dissipated, and to-day the citizens of Quincy may regard the High School as an insti- tution of unqualified success. The closing examination evinced a high order of merit, and from the accuracy and promptitude of the recitations the Committee can have no doubt that teach- ers and pupils have been earnestly and diligently engaged in placing the school in its present elevated condition.
During the past season a new and beautiful school-house has been erected at Quincy Point, at a cost of about $8,000. In size, convenience and comfort it has no superior, if it does not excel any in the town. The citizens have built within a few years five school edifices, at a cost of nearly forty thousand dollars-monuments of their love of learning, liberality and public spirit in the cause of education. We then have good school-houses and good teachers, and it is for the wisdom of the
12
town to say whether we shall have good school committee These are the requisites to encourage that mighty system whic. step by step, has made Massachusetts in honor, probity, intell · gence and intellectual power, the foremost State in this might Union. It has already made her name honored throughout th civilized world. That system of popular education, inaugu rated by our Pilgrim Fathers amid darkness, and sorrow, an trouble, and toil-prosecuted by their descendants with willin hearts and open hands, has placed Massachusetts on the prou eminence upon which she stands. Learning is the best inherit ance we can bestow upon our children. See to it then, peopl of Quincy, that in your hands, this high reputation that we now enjoy shall not be shaken ; that our proud position shall neve be destroyed or endangered.
