organized in each September of recent years, have served a useful purpose, the usual examination for admission was held at the Coddington School building on Sept. 11. I am far from the expectation that all persons connected with these classes will become successful teachers. The usefulness of the class may in part consist in preserving the schools from the mis- directed efforts of those who might render good service in other fields of usefulness, but who were clearly not intended for teaching. I have continued to urge attendance at the Nor- mal School, upon the graduates of our High School, rather than an immediate entrance upon the work of the Training Class, and this for reasons set forth in an earlier report. I find, upon inquiry, that twenty-nine of our present corps of teachers re- ceived some part of their preparation in our own training class. The following named persons have been members of the last class : -
Jennette M. Billings.

TEACHERS.
Fifty-eight teachers - assistants not included - are now em- ployed in the schools ; an increase of five, since the beginning of the year. On a subsequent page may be found a complete statement of such changes as have occurred since our last re- port was issued. It will be observed that thirteen teachers have left the service of the town, four principals being included in the number. To my own mind, the happiest feature of the history of our schools for the past dozen years is the constant effort put forth by the school authorities to secure better teach-
31
ing ; the constant efforts of our instructors to become better teachers. Our teachers have been selected because of their fit- ness for the work which they were to undertake; not, as too often happens, because they were connected with a certain church, or because they moved in certain social circles, or be- cause they possessed influential friends. All other things being equal, we may readily admit that residents of Quincy should be preferred in the selection of teachers. We cannot, with safety to the schools, admit, however, that any person has a claim upon any position which may chance to be vacant. Rather let us believe that the position has something of a claim upon that person who is so well fitted for it as to render the most useful service. Our teachers are the immediate cause of the great good which the schools are all the time accomplishing. Their money compensation is no adequate return for the service which they render the town ; and I am always glad of an oppor- portunity to ask for them that generous public appreciation and encouragement which they fully deserve.
As I approached the preparation of this report, an inquiry very naturally arose as to its function. What purpose is a school report to serve? As its name indicates, it should set forth clearly such information as to the condition and needs of the schools, as time and circumstances demand. But should it not do more? The schools of a community will be found to answer quite exactly the ideals existing in such community as to what schools should be, and what they should accomplish. The heart of the public is most undeniably loyal to the cause of public-school education; but it is essential that the public mind should have right conceptions of what schools ought to be. Mr. A and Mr. B may be equally friendly to the school system of their town. Mr. A is satisfied with the schools as they are, because they come up to his conception of good schools ; Mr. B is dissatisfied, because he sees clearly how much better the schools might be made. Now, public opinion is not the opin- ion of the most intelligent and competent judges, but the united opinions of all the men and women of a community, rich and poor, wise and foolish, foreign and native born. This great power - public opinion -is always in need of guidance and enlightenment; and, if I do not err, our school reports fail of accomplishing their proper mission if they do not attempt some- thing of this work. But again, and even more directly, a given body of schools will be found to answer to the ideals of the men and women who teach in them. It has seemed to me, there- fore, that I might usefully conclude my own portion of this re- port with a very brief statement of some of the qualities which
32
should be found in the ideal teacher. Such a course may result in a slightly fuller public appreciation of the high qualities which a teacher should possess, a livelier sense of the importance of the work he undertakes, and the exercise of sympathy and helpfulness in the difficulties which attend his labors. It may also serve to direct the attention of teachers to those qualities which they should desire to possess, to those ends which they should aim to accomplish. and to the means by the employment of which their purposes are to be realized.
Let me begin by suggesting those qualities and excellences which are desirable for the teacher, when considered merely as an individual: viz., the possession of good health, a firm con- trol of temper, true refinement in manners, language, and dress, -all based on real moral worth ; love of children, and sturdy common sense. It is fortunate if the individual enters on the work of teaching from choice: he is then likely to be ambi- tious for success, and to prosecute his work with that enthusi- asm which is an almost certain assurance of it. Next, I would have him realize the dignity of the work he is undertaking, and the necessity of adequate and special preparation for it. This will include a thorough mastery of the subject matter which he proposes to teach ; a study of those principles which underlie right methods of teaching; the acquirement, of skill in the use of these methods; and the ability to control and manage a class. He will make a special study of the children themselves, and strive to obtain some adequate conception of what it is to edu- cate them. He will come to see that they have bodies to be cared for, minds to be developed, and moral natures to be trained. He will come to feel the force of these and many kin- dred truths : Faculty of any kind is developed and strengthened by judicious exercise ; Habit is the form which all true education takes. He will come to realize that it is pupils whom he teaches, and not subjects. He will regard the arithmetic, geography, and grammar. as the means which he is to employ in training his pupils. His school discipline will not be a hap-hazard matter ; but will be the outcome of a further study of principles, and an inquiry as to the motives by which children are influenced, and to which appeal may rightly be made. Although engaged in teaching. he will be all the time a learner, realizing that " the one thing he dreads most in his pupils, he should dread most in himself, - stagnation, acquiescence in routine. torpor of mind, indifference to knowledge. When his own soul loses the recep- tive faculty. ceases to give a joyous welcome to new truth, he will be sure he has lost the power of stimulating the mental activity of others, or of instructing them to any real purpose."
33
When we consider the difficulty and gravity of the task we are undertaking, the preparation of the best of us is inadequate enough. Our condition is hopeful, however, so long as we are aware of this, and not blind to it. Our schools will always be in need of teachers of such qualities and purposes as I have so very imperfectly indicated ; of teachers of such power and skill, as to obtain the best efforts of their pupils. I might multiply opinions of the greatest minds, as to the dignity of the teacher's work, but content myself with the following quaint expres- sion : -
" If I could relinquish the office of preacher, there is no office which I would more willingly have than that of schoolmaster. For I know that this work, next to the office of the preacher, is the most prof- itable, the greatest, and the best. Besides, I know not even which is the best ; for it is hard to make old dogs tame and old rogues up- right, at which task the preacher's office labors, and often labors in vain. But young trees be more easily trained and bent, howbeit some should break in the effort. Beloved ! count it one of the highest vir- tues upon earth, to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few and scarcely any do by their own."
In times past, schools have suffered beyond estimate, by the application of the poeta nascitur non fit doctrine to the teacher. In recent years, our own schools have been in good degree pre- served from the terrible consequences of such doctrine. With- out taking time to demonstrate its absurdity, as may so easily be done, I would remind you of the reply of the celebrated French oculist, when some one complimented his skill in oper- ating on the eye : "Yes," said he, " I may have some skill now ; but I spoiled a hatful of eyes in learning."
The usual information in regard to the expenditures for the year will be found on succeeding pages.
