ATHENS INTERMEDIATE
Has been under the instruction of the same teacher as last year, Miss Lizzie C. Pratt. The school has not been quite as large as usual. The best commendation the committee can bestow upon it are their; notes made from month to month, " little to criticize." The order has been excellent and the instruction very thorough, the teacher never leaving principles half understood, or advancing until what had been gone over was thoroughly comprehended.
ATHENS PRIMARY
Has been under the instruction of Miss Maria F. Burrell during the entire year. Her success has been marked. Although her school has
70
numbered during a part of the year over sixty scholars, the order of the school has been satisfactory, and the promptness, perfectness, and accuracy of the scholars in recitation, considering, their ages, remarkable.
WARD TWO. HIGH STREET GRAMMAR
Was placed under the instruction of Mr. M. W. D. Hurd, the office of principal of the other schools in the adjoining building being added to his duties. A thorough scholar, energetic teacher, efficient instruc- tor, he labored with a zeal worthy of good results. Yet he failed to arouse an equal interest in the scholars, and a want of sympathy was manifest between them. A change was deemed necessary for the welfare of the school, and the services of Mr. R. F. Curtis, of Cambridgeport, were secured in November to complete the term. Mr. Curtis could bring to his aid no experience in the impor- tant work assigned him : and yet, ambitious of success and untiring in his efforts, he has succeeded quite to the satisfaction of the com- mittee. A candid and impartial examination gave evidence that the scholars in general had well improved the advantages they had enjoyed.
MIDDLE STREET MIXED GRAMMAR
Was intrusted to the care of Miss Lizzie L. Howe, an experienced teacher.
The grade of this school renders it a somewhat difficult one to teach, requiring a large number of classes, so that the amount of time devoted to each class must necessarily be brief. The teacher has labored faithfully and earnestly, and a fair amount of progress has been the result. During the winter term there has been evidence of a disposition on the part of some of the larger boys to occasion the teacher as much annoyance as possible, and the order of the school was not at all times what the committee would desire.
HIGH, STREET INTERMEDIATE
Was taught through the spring term by Miss Augusta Raymond, the teacher of the previous year, who by her energetic and efficient management had secured perfect order, good recitations, and a love of study which it was pleasant to observe. It was therefore with much
.
71
regret, that we accepted her resignation. Miss M. W. Seymour, who had taught successfully in our public schools heretofore, was appointed her successor, and we can safely say that its previous good reputa- tion has been maintained. Miss Seymour has labored diligently and faithfully, and a good amount of progress has been the result.
PLEASANT STREET INTERMEDIATE
Deserves unqualified commendation. The teacher, Miss Ellen G. Parrott, is prompt and unsparing in labor, and conscientious in the discharge of her duties, and those who have known her faithfulness during her several years service in this arduous field, are not sur- prised at the excellent condition of the school. The various exer- cises at the examination elicited much commendation. They were spirited and correct, and every thing moved harmoniously as under the guidance of an experienced hand. We can safely say that Miss Parrott is one of our best teachers.
GRANT STREET PRIMARY
For the first year has been under the care of Miss Lavinia Totman, who has creditably held the position for several years past to the entire acceptance of the committee. There is little opportunity for display, but fidelity and a conscientious earnestness in the perform- ance of her appropriate work has secured for her a gratifying measure of success.
HIGH STREET PRIMARY
During the first part of the year was taught by Mrs. Sarah Parker, who manifested a marked degree of ability and interest in the welfare of the school. At the close of the spring term, Mrs. Parker resigned, and was succeeded by Mrs. Mary C. French, who has fully sustained her former reputation as one of our best teachers. The school has numbered over seventy pupils during the year, and consequently has demanded the exercise of tact, patience, and labor ; which qualifica- tions Mrs. French possesses in an unusual degrec.
PLEASANT STREET PRIMARY
Was placed under the charge of Miss Emma J. Fay, and con- tinued under her care until the middle of December, when she was transferred to the new Primary School on Commercial street. The appearance of the school at the monthly visitations of the com-
72
mittee was encouraging, the order was good and the recitations gen- erally correct, giving evidence of decided improvement, showing the fidelity and success of the teacher and the industry and acquisitions of the pupils. Since December 19th, the school has been under the care of Miss Lily M. Hodgdon, it being her first experience in teach- ing.
The order at the examination was not as good as the committee desire.
MIDDLE STREET PRIMARY
Was taught the first part of the year by Miss Dora L. Benson, with a good degree of success. At the close of the summer term she re- signed, and Miss Selena S. Thomas was chosen her successor, it being her first experience in teaching.
The appearance of the school at the several visitations of the com- mittee was highly satisfactory, the order was excellent, the instruction thorough, and the scholars generally industrious.
COMMERCIAL STREET PRIMARY
Was established in December to relieve the crowded condition of the Primary Schools in that vicinity, and numbers about forty pupils. The new and spacious rooms which it occupies indicate a progressive spirit in the town to furnish ample facilities for the education of its youth.
WARD) THREE. BROAD STREET SCHOOLS.
These are two Grammar schools, composed of the most advanced scholars of Ward three, except the twenty-five who attend the High school at North Weymouth. The school taught by Mr. J. W. Armington, commenced with about fifty scholars, and the one taught by Miss A. A. Hays, with about forty scholars.
Much was expected of these schools, and we are happy to say that our expectations were reasonably well met, and that the schools are growing more and more deservedly popular in the public estima- tion, so far as we can judge. About the first of December, a teacher of one of the Intermediate schools on Mount Pleasant, was in- duced, by the offer of larger pecuniary compensation, to resign her position.
Miss Flint, of Quincy, a young lady of fine attainments, was
73
engaged to supply this vacancy ; but before she entered upon her work, it was thought best by the committee, after consultation with the principal of the Broad street schools, and a due consideration of the subject, to select a sufficient number from the Mount Pleasant and Perkins schools of the most advanced scholars to fill all the sittings in the Broad street schools, and to appoint Miss Flint assistant teacher in those schools. It was thought that this arrange- ment was worthy of a trial, inasmuch as it involved no extra expense, the number of separate schools being reduced by one in consequence ; although it has not been continued long enough to enable the com- mittee fully to estimate its value, yet they are favorably impressed with its workings, and recommend a continuance of the same till its results shall be better understood.
The department taught by Mr. J. W. Armington, is of high grade and a good school.
He has talent, culture and tact, with large experience as a teacher, and has spared neither time nor energy in his efforts to advance those under his charge and to make the instruction thorough.
The discipline of his school was uniformly good, though it was not always secured without resort to coercive measures. The exami- nation was very satisfactory to the committee, though there was too much hesitation, and apparent want of interest on the part of many of the scholars, to render it altogether so pleasing as it otherwise would have been. The classes in arithmetic and geography were especially good. The reading and spelling did not compare favor- ably with the other exercises of the school.
The school taught by Miss A. A. Hays was always found in good order, and earnestly at work when visited by the committee.
There was a persistent effort on her part to make thorough work, both in government and instruction. The closing examination was very pleasing and interesting, as the scholars, almost without excep- tion, were ready with correct answers, which they gave with that promptness, volume of voice and distinct. articulation, which real knowledge usually inspires.
In the latter part of the year the pupils, with the aid of their teacher, got up an exhibition, which continued two evenings, from which a profit of nearly seventy dollars was realized, to which were added the contributions of a few friends, making an aggregate of one hundred dollars, which was expended in the purchase of one of Messrs. Baker & Randall's excellent organs with five stops, for the use of the school.
An example worthy of imitation.
74
PERKINS SCHOOLS.
The Intermediate school was committed to the care of Mrs. M. A. Knapp, who taught during the summer and fall months with fair success for a beginner. At this time she was taken sick, and Miss Alice M. Richards was put into the school temporarily to supply dur- ing her illness, but Mrs. Knapp did not recover to resume her place, and Miss Richards continued in the school to its close.
She devoted herself earnestly to her work and succeeded in secur- ing good order ; but her want of experience and tact in teaching manifested itself in the appearance of the school, both in the want of ability, and in the lack of confidence on the part of the scholars to answer the questions proposed, and so the examination was compara- tively dull and lifeless, and not altogether satisfactory, though per- haps as nearly so as could reasonably be expected under the circum- stances.
The Primary school was taught by Miss A. A. Smith, the teacher of the previous year. She fully sustained her former reputation as a teacher, and the examination was highly satisfactory to the com- mittee.
MOUNT PLEASANT SCHOOLS.
The Grammar school formerly here, has been removed to Broad street, and the Intermediate schools made of the same rank with each other.
Since December, we have sustained but two Intermediate schools in this building, having reorganized the schools so as to fill the Broad street school to its full capacity, and transferring a teacher of one of the former schools as assistant in the latter. By these changes the Primary schools enjoy much better accommodations in the larger rooms, and all the schools of this Ward are graded with more system. At the same time these changes have involved such disadvantages to the remaining Intermediate schools, as to render the examination in January hardly a fair test of what has been accomplished by the teacher and pupils. It is also to be regretted, that a want of complete harmony among the present teachers in this building, has somewhat interfered with the welfare of the schools.
Number One was taught by Mrs. Hannah E. Miller, until Decem- ber, when, upon her removal to the West, Miss E. A. Bosworth, a Normal school graduate, was appointed to the position. This teacher
75
has succeeded as well as we could reasonably expect, and her con- scientious enthusiasm in her work gives hope of a more satisfactory career for this school in the future.
Number Two was taught by Miss Adelaide A. Keeler, till Decem- ber, when she resigned to accept a position in one of the schools of Cambridge, and Miss Mary Flint was appointed in her place, who was immediately transferred to the position of assistant in the Broad street school. These schools being regraded, school Number Three has now become Number Two, and has been taught during the year by Miss Amy M. Adlington, formerly a teacher in the Primary de- partment. The examination of this school and of Number One, took place upon a very stormy day, when many of the pupils were absent ; therefore, while neither of these schools can be reported of the first order, the combination of misfortunes renders any severe judgment premature. The instruction of this school has been intelligent, while the discipline has seemed defective.
The First Primary has been taught by Miss A. M. Baker. The examination presented a very unequal standard of scholarship. The discipline has been good and the method of instruction with tact, while there has been wanting something of that affectionate relation between teacher and pupils which is so important in schools of this grade.
Number Two Primary has been taught by Miss Lizzie Foy, and is peculiar in being the school of the lowest average in ages of any in the town. The average is 5.75 years. This is a pleasant school, and the teacher performs her duties acceptably.
WARD FOUR.
PRATT GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
This school was taught by Mr. Henry J. Clarke, a person well adapted for the business of teaching. He gave his undivided atten- tion to his school, regarding the welfare of the pupils committed to his care of vital importance. He quietly, but in a determined manner governed and taught this school with marked ability. While most of the classes appeared well, those in Geography and Written Arith- metic were particularly good.
MAIN STREET SCHOOL.
The Grammar department was instructed during the Summer term by Miss Minnie Goodnow, a Normal school graduate, but whose best recommendation before the committee was her fine scholarship.
76
Could she have governed the school well, her success would have been certain. In this respect, however, she signally failed, and conse- quently all her efforts at teaching, however otherwise well directed, - and we believe she endeavored faithfully to perform her duties, - were fruitless. It is due Miss Goodnow to state that she did not solicit the situation, having applied for another which she was better qualified to fill.
Mr. C. W. Fearing took charge of the school at the commence- ment of the fall term. The duties of the situation, as well as its difficulties, were new to him. The school needed thorough discipline. Perhaps it was too much to expect of a beginner to accomplish so much work as was needed here. But means were not at the disposal of the committee to secure what was especially wanted - the services of an experienced male teacher. Mr. Fearing worked bard inside and outside of the school-room in behalf of his school, and manifest- ed an unusual interest in the duties of his situation. He was, how -. ever, finally compelled by sickness to leave the school, and give place to a successor who assumed temporary charge. At the regular visits of the committee during the year, this school has not been in a satisfactory condition, and the examination was not well sustained.
MAIN STREET SCHOOL, INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT.
Miss L. L. Cushing, teacher. Better school accommodations have given to this well-tried teacher for the first time a purely graded school. While by this arrangement the number of classes has been diminished, she has been able to devote more time.to those recitations which properly belong to schools of this grade. The school has been well governed and well drilled. Perfection has been the aim of the teacher, and although she may not have attained it, yet she has succeeded in elevating her school to a high standard of excellence. The exercises in Intellectual arithmetic were particularly commend- able, and more than usual attention was paid to reading and spelling.
PRATT PRIMARY SCHOOL
was continued under the care of Miss Ann Lois White, very much to the satisfaction of the committee she has fully realized the expec- tations which was warranted, by the experience of two preceding years. The best of relations evidently existed between teacher and pupils, while a proper degree of dignity was preserved. Good improve- ment was made in the various branches of study taught in this grade of schools, while promptness in recitations and good order, were among its prominent features.
77
WASHINGTON STREET PRIMARY SCHOOL.
This is a new school, established at the commencement of the pres- ent school year. This school was given in charge of Miss Carrie E. Spilsted, it being her first experience. Her success, however, has been all that we could reasonably ask. The order of the school has been good, and the pupils have made very commendable progress in the various studies usually taught in our Primary schools. Miss Spilsted is a lady well adapted for the business in which she is engaged.
MAIN STREET PRIMARY DEPARTMENT,
Mrs. L. T. Cushing, instructor. This school is made up of the pupils of the Primary school of last year, which was taught by the same teacher, and of the primary pupils belonging to the school taught by Miss L. L. Cushing. Mrs. Cushing preserves good order and governs mildly. The school-room has always presented a tidy appearance, and the movement of the classes has been quiet and systematic. The general progress of the school in their studies has been good, and that of some of the alphabetical pupils has been very marked. Not so much attention has been paid to correct pronunci- ation in spelling, and to the details of mental operations in arithmetic as is considered desirable. Yet improvement has been made in these respects since the attention of the teacher was called to them.
WARD FIVE.
CENTRAL STREET SCHOOL,
Lucius Brown, principal. The Grammar Department has been . taught during the year by Mr. Brown, the principal of the school, a gentleman eminently qualified for the position by excellent scholar- ship, - especially in mathematics, - and by large and successful experience in teaching. High hopes were therefore entertained of the success of the school.
No little difficulty was early experienced in bringing it into an effective state of discipline, and in enforcing habits of study. This was, however, gradually but successfully accomplished. General har- mony and good order have prevailed in the school-rooom. The classification was judicious, and the method of imparting instruction clear and accurate. Commendable progress has been made in the several branches taught, particularly in arithmetic, - the first class having advanced from interest to mensuration, and reviewed from
78
fractions to the same point. The instruction in analysis and gram- mar has been very critical, and not altogether confined to the text- books. At the examination, the recitations were generally of a high order of merit, but there was noticeable a want of promptness and animation, which detracted somewhat from the otherwise gratifying condition of the school. It is with much regret that we report the resignation of Mr. Brown, he having obtained other and more re- munerative employment.
CENTRAL STREET UPPER INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT.
Miss A. R. Rogers has continued her connection with the school this, her second year. Always lady-like in her deportment, yet firm in her discipline, she succeeded in gaining the good-will and the co- operation of her pupils. Whenever visited by the committee, this school has been in an orderly condition, and the recitations were generally well recited and prompt. One noticeable feature was a large and in- teresting class of girls, who quite surpassed the boys in profi- ciency in their studies. Much pains has been taken in drilling the classes in mental arithmetic, and the geography and spelling were specially meritorious.
CENTRAL STREET LOWER INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT,
Mrs. M. A. Morrill, teacher. This is a large school, and deserves special mention on account of its high average attendance. With a tact peculiarly her own, Mrs. Morrill entices her pupils into the school room, and infuses into them an enthusiasm in their studies, which is as commendable as it is rare and surprising. The government is excellent, and much work has been done in a satisfactory manner. This school. still preserves its reputation as one of the best of its class.
UNION STREET SCHOOL,
Miss E. L. White, teacher. This is the largest of our " mixed" schools, and is one of the best of any grade. Kind, yet firm, and energetic in her government of the school, Miss White gains the affections of her pupils without losing their obedience. At the reg- ular visits of the committee, good order, promptness of recitation, and an atmosphere of harmony and cheerfulness have been prominent characteristics of the school. A fine class of girls is qualified to
79
enter the grammar school next year. The final examination was well sustained.
POND SREET SCHOOL.
Miss E. J. White has continued in charge of this school another year. Like most schools of its grade, it is a small school, numbering only twenty-nine scholars. Its average age is low -72 years. There are, however, twenty-one classes ; a fact which shows that there is much work for the teacher to do. This has been acceptably done by Miss White, who has devoted herself faithfully to the interests of the school. Good progress has been made in the various studies, but most marked in geography and arithmetic. The spelling of this school was also very fair.
RANDOLPH STREET SCHOOL,
Miss A. C. Orcutt, teacher. This is a quiet and unassuming school. Although numerically the smallest in town, the labor of teaching it is by no means correspondingly light. Being of the grade of " mixed schools," it embraces scholars ranging in their ages from five to fifteen years, and in their studies, from the alphabet to analysis. The number of classes is necessarily large, being almost as great as the number of pupils. At the several visits of the committee the school has made a creditable appearance, and the examination showed that a good degree of proficiency in the studies had been acquired.
In some instances, there seemed to be wanting a correct knowledge of principles - e. g. in arithmetic, - and the reading was not alto- gether satisfactory.
CENTRAL STREET PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.
Miss L. L. Whitman has continued in charge of this department of the school throughout the year, it being the third of her connection with it. It has been characterized by good order, neatness and gen- eral promptness in recitation. The teacher has always manifested a strong attachment for her little pupils, and taken a deep interest in their personal welfare, which kindly feelings have been fully recipro- cated by the children. This is also a large school, the whole number of scholars during the fall and winter term being 71, and the average attendance 60g. This high average attendance speaks all the more highly of the school, when it is considered that the average age of the scholars is only 63 years. No little labor on the
80
part of the teacher is required to manage so many small pupils ; but the task has been faithfully and nobly done.
The exhibition of the school at its close was highly satisfactory.
THE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL.
With the same principal as last year, Mr. G. W. Shaw, we have found it necessary, on account of the large number of scholars and increased number of classes, to place an assistant in this school. The services of Miss Martha A. Smith have therefore been secured, whose thorough scholarship evinced at her examination, led us to anticipate, in some measure, the decidedly educating influence exerted upon her classes during the year. The teachers having more time to devote to the recitations, have thus been enabled to give more critical instruction, and the classes have appeared to much better advantage than in previous years.
In the classics there has been noticeable improvement in the careful attention to derivation, composition, force and meaning of particles, syntactical relations and historical references. This improvement was especially evident in the examination of the higher Latin and lower Greek classes. The principal has infused into the school a love for the sciences far beyond our expectations, and the classes in chemistry, astronomy and geology, in comprehension of those sub- jects, would put to blush some college graduates. More ground has been gone over in the higher English branches than is consistent witlı thoroughness, and the classes in history and physical geography did not reach the high standard of the other classes. The algebra and geometry classes have done a good year's work in these branches ; but the examination was so hurried as to be hardly a test of their proficiency. If any criticism is especially called for, it is in matters of discipline. The order of the school has not been satisfactory. We appreciate the better discipline of a self-governed school, but to make each scholar a rule unto himself will do best, after some con- siderable tuition under a quick eye, a firm hand and a decided word ; and as many of the pupils have been strangers to this part of the voluntary system, we desire to see it exercised in the recitation room and general school-room. A class of four, graduates of last year, 'have been carried through a post-graduate course, and are particu- larly to be commended for being exceptions to the rule of the majority of pupils, who estimate the prescribed course as already too extended. We would encourage this class of students by raising the standard of our High schools, so that the class admitted on the
81
present requirements should continue a year longer in the Grammar schools, and have the four years in the High school give a more com- plete basis for an education.
THE SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL
Has been continued under the instruction of Mr. F. B. Gamwell. This school has sustained its high reputation, and is to be commend- ed for the good appearance at the examination. There is no class in Greek, and the advanced Latin class numbers only one student. The lower Latin is a good class, and promises a larger number of graduates in the full course, than any class of recent years. In the retention of mental philosophy for the highest class, a wise course has been taken. The classes in mental and natural philosophy acquitted themselves with great credit.
In most of the higher English branches a good degree of profi- ciency has been attained, and in geometry and algebra the examina- tion was very satisfactory. The lower English branches, with the excep- tion of analysis, were hardly up to the true standard. Perhaps in both our High schools we have erred in putting physical geog-
raphy in the course before the other sciences. And the poor appearance of the classes in this study, may be on account of the ignorance of the scientific principles of philosophy and geology on which it is based. In both our High schools the standard of admit- tance is not as high as it should be, in order that the pupils may reap the full benefit of the advanced instruction.
We can speak in the highest terms of the discipline of this school. If any criticism is to be made, it may be expressed in the distinction between instruction and education, etymologically considered. The instruction seems efficient, but the education hardly corresponds to it. In other words, the teacher does the work and understands thoroughly all the subjects, while the examinations do not manifest such clear understanding on the part of the pupils, as the definite instruction in the recitation would lead one to expect.
Both of our High schools will compare favorably with schools of this grade in other towns.
