I. The development of the reasoning faculties.
2. The habit of accurate and rapid calculation.
135
To attain the first , -
a. All teaching must be objective.
b. Objective study comprehends either fixing the attention up- on objects directly or concentrating the mind upon mental pictures of objects (percepts).
c. Seeing the relations of things is reasoning ; it follows then that without the actual presence of the things, or the impres- sions in the mind produced by the things, reasoning is impos- sible.
d. The words of a problem must represent to the mind things and their relations with sufficient clearness, or the problem can- not be properly solved.
e. Pupils should be led repeatedly to fix their attention upon the thing or process to be defined, and then be re- quired to tell what they see. The rule should be deduced from the process and the principle from facts in the same way. When a rule or definition is understood it may be changed to the best form by suggestion and correction, and then learned verbatim.
f. The habit of thoroughly understanding a problem before any attempt is made to perform it is made, must be seduously cultivated at the outset, and steadfastly adhered to throughout the course.
g. Telling pupils that which good teaching would lead them to discover for themselves, deprives them of opportunities for mental activity.
lı. That which is practical (practised in common life), should be constantly used in teaching when it comes within the range of the course, -as the use of money, weights, measures, and measurements, judging distance, keeping ordinary accounts, writing bills, notes, receipts, &c.
a. The habit of accurate and rapid calculation is attained by repeated drills, proceeding from the easiest step to the next higher one, mastering one thing at a time, and keeping all previous acquirements in constant practice.
b. Use in calculating, as in the solution of problems, the fewest possible words and the briefest formulas, reading, for example,
·
I 36
4 + 7 as 11, 6 × 8 as 48, just as h-o-r-s-e is pronounced without spelling.
c. Teach all that is alike in process together or in immediate succession, the more difficult following the less ; thus addition of decimals and compound numbers is substantially one process, and if so taught will afford a wider range from which to draw examples.
READING BOOKS .*
In my last Report, I set forth the advantages of the purchase of all reading-books by the town. Five hundred dollars were appropriated and expended for that purpose by your recom- mendation and approval. I am convinced that the experiment has been completely successful. The town pays for most of the books only eight per cent. more than half of the retail price, and many of them have been bought for much less. Eighty-five of Guyot's " Introduction to Geography " (an excellent book) were bought for ten cents apiece-eleven per cent. of the retail price. The books are nicely covered and carefully kept, so that twenty per cent. of the original cost will cover the wear and tear of the books yearly. I recommend an appropriation this year to fully complete the plan in all the schools, and then a yearly expenditure of two hundred dollars will be ample to keep the schools fully supplied with good reading, a sum that has been heretofore nearly if not quite expended yearly for books for indigent children. Economical as this new departure is in sav- ing money, and in relieving parents from the great burden of buy- ing books that are to them comparatively worthless when once read ; yet the rapid progress in learning to read, the cultivation of a love for good literature, and the broader knowledge acquired by carefully reading useful and interesting books, present in a still higher sense the true economy of the plan. Heretofore, the great mass of children did not learn to read well, and to love reading in school; most of them acquired such a scanty and meagre vocabulary that only useless, trashy books came within their men- tal horizon. The few who did really learn to read acquired the

art at home by the same plan that is now so successfully being tried in school ; they were plentifully supplied with interesting reading matter by their parents. Reading the same little book over and over again for a whole year, and sometimes two years, is a stupid plan, and it only cultivates stupidity. Intellectual action ceases after the words of a sentence are once learned, and every teacher knows how quickly pupils will learn a selec- tion by heart when learning is not a task. The children have from the beginning to the end of their school course plenty of fresh, interesting and profitable reading, embracing the best periodicals, reading-books, stories, histories, geographies and scientific works. Of course the real benefit to the pupils of so much reading depends largely upon the skill, insight and mental activity of the teacher. Opposed to the old plan of constant repetition, is that of too superficial reading under the new. Teachers are instructed to lead their pupils to take in all they can from their reading ; that all the real benefit of any selection should be seen and appropriated. One result can be stated with confidence, that reading in school is a source of continual pleasure. I find, to my surprise, that most classes prefer his- tories and readable geographies to the choicest stories in the "St. Nicholas." The present method of teaching language and the often recurring written examinations necessitates the use of a large amount of stationery. The town has furnished paper for my personal examinations ; ink is also supplied. I recommend that the town furnish paper to a limited amount for all the schools, and pencils for the primary grades. These can be bought, like the books, for nearly half the sum paid for them by parents. The paper will be in much better condition for use than the small parcels rolled up and stuffed into the children's pockets.
Seventy-six pupils graduated from the Grammar Schools at the close of the Spring Term, and received a handsome diploma from your hands. A still larger number will probably graduate next June. Fifty-seven of this number have entered the High School, for which a new course of study * has been prepared,

giving great prominence to English studies, and making Latin and French optional. The Third Class have unanimously, and I think wisely, chosen the English course. The increase in num- ber, and the changes in the studies, render the appointment of a second assistant necessary. Nine young ladies * received in- struction in the theory and practice of primary teaching in the Training Class during the Fall Term. They were all very in- dustrious and zealous in their work, and in my opinion most of them will make good primary teachers. Eleven members of this and former training classes have taught or are now teaching in the Quincy schools.
I cannot close this brief Report, Gentlemen of the School Committee, without expressing my sincere gratitude for the hearty, cordial support, the careful and timely criticism, the generous encouragement, that you have ever given me and my fellow-teachers.
