SCHOOL REPORT.


TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :


The vacancy on the School Board, occasioned by the re- moval of Geo. L. Crosman to another State, was a matter of sincere regret.


The vacant position was unanimously tendered to Mr. F. E. Ingalls, whose acceptance of the same is a cause for con- gratulation, as it secures uninterrupted harmony of purpose and action. It is further an occasion of felicity that during the period covered by the present report, there has not been a single break in our excellent corps of teachers. In a very important sense, as has been well said, the "teacher is the school." The securing a competent Board of Instructors, whose work is an inborn passion, rather than an external compulsion, is a great point gained. Competent and pro- gressive teachers, who can be trusted to do more than law or contract requires, in their delight to advance their pupils' and the community's interests, and a community which can be relied upon to give those teachers a liberal and every way ungrudging support-these conditions constitute the ideal public school system. We have reason to believe that com- mittee and teachers are working earnestly and harmoniously to this end. We also believe that their efforts are understood and appreciated by many of our good citizens.


The continued wise and helpful oversight of all the schools by Mr. G. P. Balch, the principal, secures unity and strength from the lowest to the highest grade, and thus has largely contributed to that efficiency which has been recognized by so good an authority as Mr. Martin, of Lynn, the State Agent, who has pronounced the Swampscott Public Schools


1 50


SCHOOL REPORT.

to be among the first in Essex county, and from whom we are pleased to receive the following note :


"I was much pleased with the condition in which I found the Swampscott schools on my recent visit. The work throughout seems well planned and most of it well done. The teachers are intelligent and earnest and the spirit of all the schools is excellent. The results fully justify the policy of the commit- tee in employing only teachers with training or experience, paying them good salaries, and entrusting the work of superintending to a skilled person."


There is encouragement in the fact that the High School has had, during the past year, the largest average member- ship of any time for several years.


MUSIC AND DRAWING.


These branches are still under the charge of an expert, in the person of Miss Elizabeth A. Bill, who fully sustains the reputation upon which she was employed, and we are glad to note the interest which parents take, and the profit which pupils receive. For the progress of the pupils in this depart- ment much credit is due the several teachers, who have faithfully labored with Miss Bill.


FINANCES AND SUPPLIES.


While Swampscott Schools are taking high rank, it is gratifying to know that there are but five towns in Essex county, and but eighteen towns or cities in the State of Massachusetts, that pay a smaller per cent. on their property valuation, for the support of their public schools, than our own town, and the amount paid per capita for the education of our. children is less than in several other towns, both smaller and larger than our own, a statement which we make on the authority of the last report of the State Board of Education. The aim of your committee has been to provide the best possi- ble equipment for our public schools at the least possible sum.


On the one hand we are sensitive about the expenditure of the public funds without substantial returns, while on the other we do not regard it as true economy to withhold any valuable supplies for the sake of curtailing expenses. In the employment of teachers, even, it must be remembered that


151


SCHOOL REPORT.


there is a market price, which must inevitably regulate the amount of salaries paid.


In addition to the supplies which are in demand from year to year, the following new supplies were purchased in 1890:


Copies.


Davis' First Reader. 18


Second 18


66 Third 66 25


Monroe's Second Reader. 24


Franklin's “ 66


24


In the Grammar Schools Lippincott's Readers, which are going out of use entirely, were exchanged for the following :


Copies.


Monroe's Fourth Reader. 48


66 Fifth


46


Davis' Fourth 66


48


Among the supplies which are necessary to the better prosecution of our work is a physical and chemical apparatus, a standard cyclopædia, together with other books which are valuable as reference books for teachers and high school scholars.


IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS.


It is quite within bounds to say that our school buildings were never in better condition than at the present time. A supply of new and more comfortable seats in several rooms, and the readjustment of old ones in other rooms, is one of the decided improvements of the past year. The seating capacity of some of our rooms is now nearly exhausted, and by our increasing population of school age, another problem con- fronts us in the near future. At the Grammar School build- ing the heating and light and ventilation in several of the rooms has been greatly improved during the year, at consid- erable cost. Grading, fencing, concreting, painting and tinting are also among the repairs which have been made at various buildings.


The Beach School House requires re-shingling, and should


1 52


SCHOOL REPORT.


also be provided with a furnace as soon as practicable, while a water supply is a convenience greatly in demand at the Essex street school.


DISCIPLINE AND MORALS.


Were the statutes of the commonwealth enforced to the full extent, our discipline would likely be even more rigorous than it now is.


Parents in some cases have been kindly notified of statutes which it is the duty of the committee to enforce but in every case where it is possible love has taken the place of law, and we are pleased to observe that the spirit of insubordination on the part of pupils or parents is the rare exception.


We solicit an increased co-operation on the part of parents in the matter of promptness and regularity of attendance.


In several grades there has been a discouraging amount of tardiness as a glance at our table of school statistics will show. Any thing above an average of two tardy marks for each scholar is considered a bad record, and yet the table re- ferred to shows an average of 7 and 9 in certain instances.


The number of cases of truancy has been more frequent than is to our credit, and the use of cigarettes, and the violations of the law of moralpurity are not unknown, though we note some improvement over last year in these re- spects.


Not only the statutes but the moral sense of the community demand the complete suppression of these vices.


We are greatly indebted to Mr. C. W. Birtwell, and Miss E. S. Tobey of Boston for private lectures given to the boys and girls respectively, and which were beneficial in lifting the moral tone of the scholars.


The introduction of deportment cards which are being extensively used throughout the country have proved valuable adjuncts as conservators of good discipline.


PROMOTIONS.


By a rule adopted early this year, pupils who rank 85 per cent. in the regular written and oral work will be promoted


153


SCHOOL REPORT.


without final written examinations in all the schools. This is in accordance with advanced ideas of the best educational authorities, and relieves school life of a large amount of mental and physical strain. Final examinations will be re- quired of all who fall below this standard. Scholars must repeat the year unless they shall attain at least 663 per cent. in each study. Twenty days of absence during the year will prevent promotion and preclude the possibility of making up arrears in studies, except in special cases, for good and suffi- cient reasons, and then only by majority vote of the School Committee.


ONE SESSION.


The committee have, on account of public sentiment, re- sumed the one session plan on stormy days.


The signals for one session will be sounded at the discretion of the principal at 7.45 for intermission in the morning, and at 11.30 for the same in the afternoon. When opportunity affords, the signal for intermission will be given to the various schools by special messenger.
