ABSENTEEISM.
Among the many impediments to the success of our common schools, none is greater than irregularity of attendance, and of this we have much to complain. We are aware that in many cases this is unavoidable, the circumstances of parents render- ing them to some extent dependent on the services of their chil- dren for at least a portion of the year. While we deeply regret that this state of facts so largely exists in a flourishing town like ours, we can but feel that if parents would give this matter the attention its importance merits, and, practising a healthy and rigid self-denial, see that their children are in the school-room when not absolutely needed, our school rolls and classes would show a decided advance. This is a duty that parents and guardians owe not only to their children and wards, but to the classes of their several
2 QS
18
schools. While these things are permitted to exist, it is next to impossible to perfect and carry out, for any considerable length of time, either a perfect gradation of schools, or a proper classifica- tion and apportionment of studies.
In no respect are parents more unreasonable than to suppose that their children can continue to occupy a fair and creditable standing in their classes and their schools, when absent for a con- siderable portion of the time.
It is absolute injustice to allow such scholars to clog the progress of our classes, and no less injustice to the pupil to allow him to plod on with a class he is poorly fitted to follow, even with un- equal steps. Looking at the matter in the light its magnitude deserves, your Committee have generally instructed their teachers that such scholars must remain in the classes for which they are fitted, and that those scholars who voluntarily absent themselves from school, even with the consent of parents, must be content to occupy the place they make for themselves.
In view of the increase of this evil in our schools, and having an earnest desire to check its further growth, we desire that the town, at the annual March meeting, may avail themselves of all the judicious provisions of the Statutes of the State concerning truant. children and absentees from school, and we hope that all the true friends of our common schools will see that such necessary by-laws are passed, and suitable officers chosen to carry the same into effect.
RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Your Committee have deemed it inexpedient to publish the Rules and Regulations of the Board, as no material changes have been made in the same since their publication in the last Report.
DISTURBANCE OF SCHOOLS.
Considerable complaint has been made by our teachers regard- ing the disturbance of their schools by those having no connection with the same, and also by the untimely visitation of parents who come with complaints of real or fancied wrongs done to their chil- dren, and vent their indignation, in the ears of the scholars, in lan- guage neither elegant nor complimentary to the teacher. This can- not be tolerated. Nothing is more detrimental to a teacher's influ- ence and authority. If a scholar has been wronged, or the parents
:
19
think themselves aggrieved, we would have them talk the matter over coolly and calmly with the teacher, in private, and if they are not met with a proper feeling on the part of such teacher, the Committee are always ready to investigate such matters, from whatever source complaints may come. But intrusions of the char- acter alluded to, do no good, but much harm, and if persisted in, we shall feel it to be an official duty to pass such offenders over to the custody of the authorities.
FINANCIAL.
Most of the teachers have recently petitioned the Board for a increase of their several salaries. We have deemed it inexpedienn to act upon such petitions, so near the annual meeting, but feel it our duty to refer the matter to the town for its direct action. Ap- pended to this Report, and made a part hereof, you will find the table of " Estimated Expenses of Schools," by which it will ap- pear that, estimating salaries on the basis of last year (exclusive of appropriation for Evening Schools), we shall need $15,875.00 for the ensuing year. If the town shall indicate by its action, its willingness to pay its teachers, or any class of them, increased wages, then, as a necessary consequence, we shall require a cor- respondingly increased appropriation.
GENERAL REMARKS.
While we are able to report the general progress in our schools for the past year as fully equal to that of any former year, we feel constrained to say, that they have not yet attained that standard of perfection of which they are capable, and which, in our judg- ment, they ought to attain. We do not mean by this to imply any incompetency or dereliction from duty on the part of our teachers ; or any general lack of interest on the part of parents in the education of their children. We believe that we are favored with a corps of competent and faithful teachers, who are thoroughly devoted to their work; that the parents in general feel a deep interest in the education of their children ; and that with such a corps of teachers thus devoted, with parents thus interested, the children themselves will be emulous to excel. But yet from some cause, or perhaps combination of causes, we fall below that educa-
20
tional standard which we ought to establish and maintain. We have endeavored by careful investigation to ascertain those causes, and, as far as possible, to provide a remedy for them. As the result of that investigation, we find that our present comparatively imperfect standard is attributable to various causes, some of which it is at present, perhaps, impossible wholly to remove ; others may, and should be, removed at once. Among the more promi- nent of these causes, we beg leave to mention the following : -
First : The locations and distances of many of the pupils in reference to the schools they are required to attend. Second : The want of suitable and sufficient accommodations to perfect the system of gradations in our several schools. Third : The irregu- larity and inconstancy of attendance of many of the pupils during the school terms. Fourth : the want of proper classification and apportionment of the work assigned, and to be performed in each grade of school : and of the specific order in which that work should be accomplished. Fifth : the disposition and practice on the part of some, at least, of the teachers in the lower depart- ments, to encroach upon what more appropriately belongs to the next higher department. And (may we be permitted to add), Sixth : Too little freedom from text-books, on the part of teach- ers. The first two of these causes it is of course, impossible, at present, at least, wholly to remove. For the continued existence of the remaining causes, we are all more or less responsible, and these should be removed at once. But how removed? Parents, remove the third cause, and we guarantee we will use our best endeavors to remedy the remaining ones.
We have during the past year discussed frequently the subject of classification of studies with reference to a complete programme and specific apportionment of the work to be performed in each term by all the various departments of our schools. In this mat- ter we have called to our aid, and obtained the opinions of nearly all the teachers in town, and we are happy to say that most, if not all of them, have cheerfully responded to the call, and, as far as possible, have co-operated with us in the undertaking. In the discussion of this subject we were, of necessity, led to form a com- parison of the relative attainments of the different schools of the same nominal grade throughout the town ; and to our surprise we found no two alike! Although, for this reason, we have not yet
21
been able to perfect the programme above referred to, the discus- sion of the subject with the several teachers has been attended with this happy result ; we found, in our recent examination, that like classes had approximated nearer each other in their attainments than heretofore, and that by this discussion a very laudable emula- tion had been awakened among the teachers themselves.
The discussion of this subject also developed the fact that this disparity of attainments is mainly attributable to the first three causes above named.
Now, parents, if you are not prepared to remedy the first two, you can, at least, remove the third ; the removal of which, together with the continued co-operation of all the teachers, will soon enable us to attain a very near approximation, at least, to the desired end. We beg leave, in this connection, to make mention of another great, and we fear, growing evil, in our midst ; and that is, the removal of your children from school at too early an age, before they have completed the prescribed course, and in many instances before that course is half completed. This is more frequently the case with boys than girls. This, in connection with the repeated absences above noted, is decidedly wrong. At least, it should never be permitted, except under circumstances of the greatest necessity. To remove your sons from school at the age of ten, twelve, or even fourteen years, to engage in the active pursuits of life, is one of the greatest injuries you can inflict upon them. Their habits are not yet formed. Remember that while they are yet children, they will be educated somewhere and somehow ; if not in the school-room, then in the public streets. The one fits them for honorable man- hood ; the other tends to make them indifferent, if not decidedly bad citizens.
In conclusion, we would urge upon our citizens a yet more ear- nest personal attention to the cause of common schools. Be not content with cheerfully voting the appropriations needful for their maintenance and support, and then leaving the responsibility with teachers and committee. You have an individual duty to perform other than those lierein before suggested. Give to your schools a rigid personal inspection, and you will find that as your Interest increases, that of your children will grow correspondingly stronger
22
and deeper, and your schools will move steadily onward and up- ward, with a fairer and nobler record.
