INCLUDING THE
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS,
AND THE
COURSE OF STUDY,
1891.
BOSTON: ALFRED MUDGE & SON, PRINTERS, NO. 24 FRANKLIN STREET. 1892.
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Weymouth :
Your School Committee, in accordance with the requirements of the Statutes of the Commonwealth, herewith submit for your con- sideration their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1891. As in past years it has been our aim to increase the efficiency of our schools, and we believe that something has been accomplished toward this end during the past year. We feel confident that a careful examination of our schools will show a degree of excellence in which our citizens may justly take pride.
We wish to call special attention to the course of study recently adopted by your committee and printed in this report. We believe that it will greatly facilitate and improve the instruction in our schools, by giving the teachers a comprehensive view of the work that is expected of them.
The sum appropriated at the annual town meeting for the sup- port of schools was as follows : --
From April 1, 1891 to April 1, 1892
$37,200 00
For salary of Superintendent of Schools .
1,800 00
To liquidate deficit for last year

Total .
$39,536 70
Leaving a balance for the support of schools from Jan. 1, 1892, to April 1, 1892, of $10,048 70
At the beginning of the year the school committee felt that the most rigid economy should be exercised in all departments of the school work. The superintendent of schools has used every effort to carry out the wishes of the committee, and we refer with satisfaction to our financial statement, which, we believe, will convince the readers that everything has been done that could be done to bring the expenditures within the appro- priation.
It is with pleasure that the committee call your attention to the able, economical and common sense manner which has characterized the work of Mr. I. M. Norcross, Superintendent of Schools. He has fulfilled the duty of superintendent to the satisfaction of every member of the committee. The standard of excellence which has been maintained is sufficient evidence of his unwearied and careful administration. For a more complete outline of his work we refer to his interesting report, which, with special reports appended thereto, will place before you in detail the work of the schools during the year.
CHANGES OF TEACHERS.
So long as cities and other large towns can offer better induce- ments to teachers than we can, and so long as young men are seeking the best young ladies in town to make them wives, our corps of teachers will continue to be drawn upon largely. Since
5
the last annual report was presented there have been fifteen with- drawals, twelve transfers, fifteen appointments and two deaths. Although this is an unusually large number of changes, it fre- quently happens year after year that we lose between one-sixth and one-fifth of our entire teaching force. It can easily be seen, there- fore, that to maintain the general excellence of our schools the aim must be, whenever a vacancy occurs, to find the best teacher that can be secured for that particular place. The list of changes is as. follows :

EVENING SCHOOL.
Chapter 174 of the acts of 1883 provides : -
1. Every town and city having ten thousand or more inhabi- tants shall establish and maintain, in addition to the schools required by law to be maintained therein, evening schools for the instruction of persons over twelve years of age in orthography, reading, writ- ing, geography, arithmetic, drawing, the history of the United States, and good behavior. Such other branches of learning may be taught in such schools as the school committee of the town shall deem expedient.
2. The school committee of such towns shall have the same superintendence over such evening schools as they have over other schools, and may determine the term or terms of time in each year, and the hours of the evening during which such schools shall be kept, and may make such regulations as to attendance at such schools as they may deem expedient.
