We briefly call your attention to some of the requisites of a suc- cessful school. In the first place, constancy of attendance is a prime essential of success to the individual pupil, and in a less de- gree of the whole school. Punctual attendance is a necessity ; the habit of punctuality formed in youth will be very apt to cling to one thorugh life. Show us a boy who went through his school life with tardy marks blackening his name in the register, and we will prophecy a man who will tell you he will pay the five dol- lars he owes you, to-morrow ; and pay it next week ; one who will agree to meet you at eight o'clock and come at noon the next day. We are convinced that the men whom we honor for the strict ful- fillment of their agreements in small as well as great things, men of whom we say their word is as good as their bond, were punctual in their school duties as well.
29
In making up the Roll of Honor, we were sorry to note that sev- eral failed to have their names enrolled, because of two or three tardy marks ; perhaps fifteen minutes absence from school was all that prevented. A loss of time small in itself, but the loss of en- couragement to strive for perfection, may lead to a carelessness next term which will result in a failure of the term's work for them.
We feel from a careful examination of the school registers for several years, that the teacher is, in many cases, largely respon- sible for failures in this matter. We call upon them to so interest themselves in their pupils and in their home life, that their influence inay be felt in a manner which will cause greater effort to be made to remedy this evil. We think there are but few cases in which par- ents would fail to co-operate with the teachers, they are only wait- ing for the teachers to make the advances. We know that in many cases the parents, by the same attention to the education of their children that they give to their health, and-shall we say it-dress ; could not only cause them to be punctual but constant in their. atten- dance. We recommend the effort.
We take this public opportunity to censure the feeling, which seems to exist on the part of some parents and teachers, that if a child comes to school and answers to his name at roll-call, and perhaps stays a few minutes and reads, he can go home and do a half-day's work, and yet keep a clear register. As it is impossible for any one to be in two places at the same time, we believe this course to be untruthful and dishonest. If you must have the work of your child at home, and we believe there are very few cases where the need is absolute, be honest and keep him there, and not make the pretence of sending him to school, when practically he does not go.
We believe our teachers have all been faithful in their duty, so far as they have been able to understand it, the past year. some schools have been more successful than others; but it is useless for us, in this place, to point out the mistakes or weaknesses of any teacher. The lessons they have to learn must be acquired in the hard school of experience. If any of our teachers think that they know all there is to know about teaching, we have no farther use for them. But we think that we have no teachers of that class. As a class they are eager and anxious to improve. With the limi. ted means at their command, with the limited material with which they have to work, they are quietly and earnestly doing their best.
30
At the annual town meeting you will be asked to consider the question of the possibility of permanently lessening the number of our schools. In order to save time, and that some definite plan may be before you ; we would respectfully present the following :
1st. That schools Nos 6 and 7 be united and that one of the school houses be moved, to some site on the west side of West Rutland village, to be used for the united schools.
2d. That No. 3 be united with No. 2.
3d. That No. 4 to be united with the centre and No. 2, as most convenient.
4th. That No. 9 be united with the centre and No. 8, as most convenient.
5th. That the unnecessary houses be sold, in order that the con- centration may be regarded as final.
The expense for books has been large ; it is probable that the rea- son for this is, that many who last year brought their own books to school have this year neglected to do so, and consequently a large proportion of the pupils in our schools have required a full equip- ment.
In brief, we make the following recommendations. 1st, That a graded school be established at the Centre. 2d, That there be five outside schools. 3d, That the sum of $1400.00 be raised for their support.
