college will always receive some accessions at the top, of a kind which entail peculiar labor and anxiety on the master. But the lower classes, recruited from those who enter the school to take its entire course, always the best conducted and most intelligent pupils, have suffered a serious shock.
" Nor is this the least to be wondered at when $150 is so much larger than the fee charged at the schools with which this Academy naturally competes. The Academies at Andover and Exeter and Williston Seminary at East Hampton charge, by joint agreement, sixty dollars a year. Thayer Academy charges seventy-five for non residents and thirty dollars for residents. But this last charge has never been enforced, it being preferred to drop from the rolls at once any resident pupil who does not fulfil the purposes of his education.
" But high charges inflict another injury on a school besides keeping away the sons of those who are not rich. It is in danger of becoming the exclusive resort of those whose parents have wealth and little else, and who expect in return for un- questioning payment to obtain for their sons all manner of indulgence and favor. It is offering a terrible temptation to a school-master, when he sees his numbers falling off, not to reject or send away any boy whom he knows to be sure pay, yet many of such boys bring with their full pockets a taste for indulgences, an aversion to study and an impatience of dicipline fatal to the well-being of a school. If, however, the charge is low enough to attract the sons of less wealthy parents, boys who feel that their life must be a life of work, a conscientious master need not hesitate to get rid of any unruly or idle or dull boy without regarding his parent's fortune.
" A school dependent, as Adams Academy is, on the fees of its pupils, must pay its expenses and give the master a proper income in return for a life's devotion. Granting that our forty- four boys all have their bills paid, we have sixty-six hundred dollars. The salaries of my four assistant teachers are five thousand one hundred dollars in all. It may be considered a a large teaching force ; but the necessary divisions and sub-
I26
divisions in such a complicated course as that desired by Harvard College of its candidates are undetermined by the numbers of the classes. I should employ no more teachers with a hundred boys.
ยท " Moreover, no special teacher is employed in elocution, in drawing-or in any modern language; nor is one dollar ex- pended on physical or' chemical apparatus. Nay, if I were to dismiss one of my teachers to-morrow, his annual salary divided up among his three colleagues would give but seventeen hun- dred dollars apiece-a poor compensation at the best for young men of exceptional talents and character, who feel every year more and more, that they are renouncing all chances of profes- sional or business success. Five thousand dollars being the lowest that teachers' salaries can be estimated at, the necessary advertising, printing, prize books, &c., cannot be brought much under one thousand dollars.
" These figures speak for themselves. The school cannot go on as it is. If such a statement seems abrupt in style or ungra- cious to those from whom I have received such underserved confidence, support and kindness, I can only say that it seems to me more truly courteous as well as more honorable to set things plainly before you. Raising the fee has evidently worked badly. We have lost more than we have gained. If the Acad- emy is to grow and to grow with the right kind of boys the fee should be restored to its original amount, or even lower, to seventy five or eighty dollars. But in that case the education of twenty-four boys free of charge is a source of expense for which there is no adequate provision, and how to meet it is the problem.
" Various methods have occurred to me and have been sug- gested by others. One is that the general provision of free tuition should be waived, but that a number of Adams scholar- ships, say ten, should be made out of the funds in the hands of the supervisors, to be assigned to that number of boys from Quincy, on examination or such other condition as the managers may determine.
" The immediate deficiency of the school as judged by the
127
demands of the hour is in physical and chemical science. A certain amount of training in experimental science is un- doubtedly good for almost all minds, and to some of indefinite profit. But to pursue it successfully demands some outlay for apparatus and laboratory. I respectfully submit to the supervisors the expediency of fitting up the top story of our smaller build- ing for a laboratory, where elementary physics and chemistry may be studied.
" The temper of the school in reference to study has been excellent, - cheerful, alert and diligent.
" Since I became a resident of Quincy I have regularly held prayers at the boarding house every night except Saturday, add- ing some very simple uncontroversial discourse on Sunday. I have also hired a piano, and the boys are well interested in sing- ing a few verses of a hymn every evening, my esteemed colleague, Mr. Preble, kindly furnishing the accompaniment. I make a point of visiting the boarding house at all hours of the day and evening, and having it distinctly understood that the master's authority exists as much there as anywhere in the school.
" The health of the boarding house has been excellent till the beginning of this year. Immediately on the return of the boys, the prevalent troubles of the throat caused by the very excep- tional season showed themselves at once. All cases, however, were immediately isolated ; and I cannot speak too highly of the devotion and good sense of our housekeeper, Miss Johns, by whose care the duration and risk of the sickness were clearly " diminished."
Thus far these observations are taken from the report of the Principal of the Academy. The Managers can do little more than to point the attention of the citizens to the unfor- tunate consequences of any attempts to make the scholars com- ing from the town itself free from all charges, and thus at the expense of the parents of those who come from abroad. This unworthy policy now threatens the continuance of the Academy itself. The alternative may be to shut it up again in the hands of the Supervisors until the funds annually accruing from the original grants are large enough to pay all charges for tuition.
I28
It should be well understood that from the time of the death of Dr. Dimmock, his successor has devoted himself to the ser- vice of the town in this Academy with great energy and devo- tion. We are constrained to add the word self-sacrifice, inas- much as his labors, we fear, thus far have been rather those of love than of profit to himself. Whatever services he has ren- dered have been rewarded rather by his self-consciousness of well-doing and his interest in the school than by any personal advantage. This it is plain ought not be, either for the credit of the Academy or the town. Neither can any continuance .of such service be expected from him on such terms. He has in- deed declared his willingness to try the experiment for another year in a most liberal manner ; but it will be of little use to ask or accept from him any permanent service unless we can secure to him the adoption of certain measures on which he may depend. To that end it has been agreed to reduce the fee for tuition to one hundred dollars, any higher rate being regarded as prohibitory to the reception of out-of-town scholars who have thus far contributed largely to its success.
Finally, the Managers are unanimous in opinion that the town must relinquish, at least for a season, its vote of exemption of contribution from all scholars of the town unless it is prepared to see the school closed at the beginning of the spring term. The Managers are fully convinced that they can obtain no com- petent principal upon terms nearly so favorable as those offered by Dr. Everett. They therefore earnestly recommend that they make one more effort to preserve it by repealing its former vote exempting all boys, sons of citizens of Quincy, from any charges whatever, and accepting, in lieu thereof, the application of so much of the next annual income in the hands of the Super- visors of the Adams Trust as may be derived from rents and profits accruing annually to that Trust, (after deducting the necessary charges,) towards defraying the expense of such Quincy boys attending the school as may by their parents or guardians be declared to need the assistance.
The adoption of this course seems to the Managers the only
I29
alternative to closing the Academy for at least one generation to come. They have accordingly caused a suitable article to be inserted in the Warrant, for the annual meeting of the town, to the end that the matter proposed may receive that degree of consideration and action which its grave importance may be deemed to demand.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
C. F. ADAMS, Chairman, J. P. QUINCY, PETER BUTLER, EDWARD NORTON, J. E. TIRRELL, C. H. PORTER, Secretary.
