REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
FELLOW CITIZENS :
Your Committee recognizing the fact that they are the guardians of your dearest interest, and that as such they are responsible to you for the manner in which they execute their trust, deem it not less due to you than becoming to them that they make you at least an annual report, even though the statute did not require it.
When we compare our plans for the good of our schools with their execution, and our hopes with their realization, we are both gratified and disappointed ; gratified that much commendable work has been done, and disappointed that in any case and for any cause success has not been marked, -for at that we aimed.
Contrary to our hopes in the direction of consolidating some of our schools, we have supported schools in all our school houses, both summer and winter. In each, with one exception, the sessions conformed to minimum limit of the State Law, viz :- six months. The exception was No. 3 School, where an epidemic of measles in the summer term and a few cases of scarlatina in the winter, com- pelled us to reduce the number of weeks of school from twenty- four to twenty-two. This deficit of two weeks will be added to the next term, if circumstances favor.
Early in the year we caused to be placed in our school houses large wall maps, and we believe it is due largely to this fact that there has been an increased interest in the study of history and geography in our schools during the past year. The proficiency attained by some of the classes in these branches being all that could be expected, if not all that could be desired.
35
The work in arithmetic and writing, also, has been satisfactory, many classes in the former, evincing under examination, ability to perform practical work outside of the text book, and a knowledge of business forms alike creditable to themselves and their instructors.
The success in grammar and reading has not been so marked, there being an evident distaste in the minds of a majority of our pupils for the former, and in the latter a desire to use books unsuited to their capacity. It is a common thing to find classes using the fourth reader who are hardly competent to use the third.
Careful and competent supervision on the part of the Committee would do much to remedy this fault did your Committee feel warran- ted to spend so much time in the school room, but under our pres- ent system, or lack of it, much must be left to the discretion of the teachers, and it is just here that experience and sound judgment on their part go a long way in determining real progress in our schools.
Those parents who tell their children that there is no use in study- ing grammar, do very unwisely, and, in our opinion, are mainly re- sponsible for the distaste in the minds of the pupils just alluded to.
Can any one question the importance that our children be taught to speak, read and write the English Language correctly ?
The pupils who go out of our public schools, should not only be able to think clearly, but to understand the discourse of others and to express their own thoughts with purity and precision ; and to our mind no attainment in other branches can properly take the place of this.
In the report of last year your Committee expressed the opinion that a course of study, with suitable gradations. prepared especially to meet the needs of our common schools would be of advantage. So thoroughly convinced of the necessity of such a plan are we to- day that early in the coming year a move will be made in this direction.
It was a comparatively easy matter to prepare a course of study, but to select the one best adapted to the needs of small ungraded schools like ours requires intimate knowledge of the capabliities and actual attainments of the pupils, and such familiarity it has been our aim to acquire during the past year ..
36
It is a matter earnestly to he wished that we could give our child- ren better school advantages. Three terms of ten weeks each is none too much, and, it seems to us to be the least we ought to have, but this would necessitate nearly one-fourth additional expense under the present arrangement of supporting ten schools.
It is not difficult to understand how much the long vacations of three months each interfere with the habits of study and retard the progress of our pupils. Indeed it is a matter of wonder that so favorable a record can be made and as much interest developed as we often see.
But if we cannot have longer terms of school, and that is a matter that you, Fellow Citizens, in your wisdom must decide, allow us to suggest that both on the part of parents and pupils every effort be made to reap the full benefit of the opportunities we have.
It may seem to some a slight thing to keep a child out of school two weeks at the beginning of the term, to work, but he will not recover from it during the term, and the injury is not confined to him but affects the whole school as well. It is the intention of your Committee to see to it that every child in town, of school age, is in school during the whole of the school year. Will you aid us in this matter by having your children there ?
Again, we can supplement the work of our schools by providing suitable, entertaining and instructive reading during vacations, and we have a library, free to all, which if wisely used will afford such opportunity.
Once more, an entering into "society," so called, at an early age distracts many a boy or girl and entirely incapacitates them for solid intellectual work. Those great men whose "Lives 'remind us we can make our lives sublime," did not gather their philosophy at the village store, nor acquire their elegance of diction in the public street.
No, let us the rather put our boys and girls-and let us still call them boys and girls-en rapport with nature listening to her multi- frarious voices so calculated to instruct and develop the human mind and so elevating to the moral nature. Then, when the proper time arrives they will, without doubt, find their proper place in society and be able to hold that position to their own credit and to the honor of the Commonwealth.
