In conclusion, let me say, no one can honestly claim to be exempt from the obligation of feeling and acting upon the subject of education. All must feel a deep interest in the rising generation. They will soon take the places of their parents, and wield the destinies of the country. Educated or ignorant, society must soon receive them to its bosom, and enjoy the blessings, or suffer the evils they may confer or inflict upon it. If it be the desire of our hearts that our children be intelligent, virtuous and happy, that in fine, they fulfil the great ends of their creation as rational beings, made in the image of God, and destined to immortality, I beseech you to carefully and prayerfully attend to their education, and as one means to so great an end, sustain, cherish, look after and watch over, our COMMON SCHOOLS.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD JAMES, Superintendent.
Scituate, Jan. 29, 1872.

BY-LAWS.
By-Laws for securing the regular attendance at the Schools of truant children, and of such other children as are growing up in ignorance and idleness.
1. Any child between the ages of seven and sixteen, who, while a member of any School, shall absent him- self or herself from School without the consent of his or her teacher, or parent, or guardian, shall be deemed a truant.
2. If any child between the ages of seven and sixteen who is a habitual truant, and does not attend School, and has no regular employment, but is growing up in igno- rance and idleness, persist in truency, or non-attendance at School, after having been required to attend regularly, by the School Committee or Truant Officer, such child shall forfeit and pay to the town of Scituate, a fine of not less than five, nor more than twenty dollars, according to the discretion of the Justice or Court having jurisdiction of the case ; or be committed to any such institution of instruction, or House of Reformation, as the Justice, or Court may determine, according to Sect. 6th, Chap. 42 of the General Statutes.
.3. It shall be the duty of every truant officer to enquire diligently concerning all persons between the
6.2
ages aforesaid, who seem to be idle or vagrant, or who, whether employed or unemployed appear to be growing up in ignorance, and to enter a complaint against any one found unlawfullp absent from school or violating any of these by-laws.
4. The town shall annually choose three truant officers, whose duty it shall be to make complaint in case of violation of these by-laws, for the purpose of carrying into execution the provisions thereof, who shall receive such compensation for their services as the selectmen shall determine.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
TO THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
,
, OF THE
TOWN OF SCITUATE,
FOR THE
YEAR 1872-3.
BOSTON : J. FRANK. FARMER, PRINTER, 18 EXCHANGE STREET. 1873.
)
REPORT.
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE : - Coming among you a stranger, we were unexpectedly called to assume the super- intendence of the public schools. We accepted the position and went to work.
The change of system from mixed to graded schools, in- augurated at your last annual meeting, made extra work for your Superintendent, and perhaps caused some inconven- iences on the part of the pupils and parents, yet, on the whole, we congratulate you on the success of the plan, and hail the year 1872 as marking a new era in the schools of the town of Scituate.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
Early in the year the teachers of the Primary Schools were notified that pupils to be admitted to the Grammar Schools must pass a satisfactory examination in Reading, Spelling, Geography (Introduction), Colburn's Arithmetic (to Section X), and Written Arithmetic (to Reduction).
We do not think it expedient to teach History, Grammar, or Writing with pen and ink, in our Primary Schools.
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
Teachers of the Grammar Schools were instructed to arrange their pupils into three classes, according to schol- arship. A course of study was prescribed, and four daily recitations were required of each pupil. Grammar, History, Geography and Writing, together with Reading and Spelling, re made a specialty in these schools.
a
4
HIGH SCHOOL.
The design of the High School is to take the scholars who have spent three or four years at the Grammar Schools, and give them instruction in Higher Mathematics, Analysis, Rhetoric, Physiology, Natural Philosophy and Latin.
The necessity of this school is seen at once. The Gram- mar Schools cannot do this work; to send to out-of-town schools is too expensive for most parents ; graduates from the Grammar Schools must have such a school as this, or be deprived altogether of the advantages of further instruction.
The first class, at the close of the year, contained four members, viz. : Emma T. Manson, Sarah R. Damon, Susie C. Young, and Ella B. Clapp. We recommend that where inexperienced teachers are employed, preference be given to graduates of our High School.
Heretofore pupils have come to this school when they had a mind to, stayed as long as they pleased, and left when they got ready. The present system of gradation and ex- amination will change this for the better, and raise the standard of the school.
EXAMINATIONS.
At the recent examinations there were thirty candidates presented for admission to the Grammar Schools; twenty of these passed and received certificates of promotion, viz. : -
At Charles Street. - Harry F. Vinal, Nellie J. Brown.
At Beach Street. - Henrietta Litchfield, Addie W. Mott.
At High Street. - Martha E. Litchfield, Harry E. Damon, Susan G. Hayden.
At Grove Street. - Emma Fitts.
At Main Street. - School not in session.
At Central Street. - Elvira S. Damon, Hannah C. Wade, Isabel M. Damon, Albert Brown, George T. Otis, Charlie Andrews.
5
At South Street. - Ella M. Fernald.
At Common Street. - None.
At Willow Street. - Lizzie Murphy, Mary Hughes.
At Brook Street. - Gorham L. Damon, Andrew O. Water- man, Ben. R. Turner.
There are some fifteen more candidates to be examined at the opening of the spring term ; allowing that the same per- centage are promoted, that is two out of three, we shall have thirty additional scholars for our Grammar Schools. Eight or ten of these will naturally attend at Armory Hall, the others elsewhere.
Conihasset Hall school presented ten candidates for the High School ; Armory Hall presented twenty candidates. These were subjected to the fairest, yet severest test of schol- arship known, a written examination. At a meeting of the School Board, held before the examination, it was voted to require seventy-five per cent. correct answers ; at a subse- quent meeting, in consideration of this method of exami- nation being new to the scholars, it was voted to reduce the standard to sixty per cent. On that basis, six out of ten were promoted at Conihasset Hall, and ten out of twenty at Armory Hall.
The following are the names of those at Conihasset Hall, who have received certificates of promotion : -
Hattie A. Mott,
Lucy N. Brown,
Annie L. Marsh,
Lucy J. Brown, William Elliot, Lizzie L. Merritt.

REVIEW OF SCHOOLS.
BROOK STREET.
This is a first-class school. Miss Lizzie J. Vinal is an excellent teacher of youth. We hope she will long remain upon our board of teachers.
COMMON STREET.
The spring and fall terms were taught by Mrs. Annie E. Manson, an accomplished and successful teacher.
The winter term was taught by Miss Lizzie Merritt. It was no easy task to follow Mrs. Manson, and, as we feared would be the case, the standard of the school was not fully sustained.
WILLOW STREET.
This school has had three different teachers this year. The first term Miss Amy F. Allen had very good success. We should like to have retained her through the year. The fall term Miss Mary J. Bowditch was engaged to teach the school. Willow-street School is rather difficult to manage, and Miss Bowditch was hardly equal to the emergency.
The winter term was taught by Miss Alice P. Farrow. This was Miss Farrow's first school, yet she met with very good success. The same determination and endeavor that Miss Farrow showed at this school will make her an able teacher.
SOUTH STREET.
The first two terms were taught by Miss Mary F. Clapp, with good success. Miss Clapp was anxious to retain the school, but was forced to resign on account of her health. Miss Anna M. Young was engaged to teach the winter term. Miss Young was recently a member of our High School.
.
7
Good order and quiet demeanor characterized this school; if anything, it was too still. With experience, Miss Young will become a first-class teacher.
CENTRAL STREET.
This school was taught through the year by Miss Evange- line B. Jones. This is a difficult school. Miss Jones was evidently anxious to succeed, yet the order of the school was not what it should be. The only hope for Central street is to take out the grammar scholars and send them elsewhere.
GROVE STREET.
Miss Josie A. Vinal was very successful during the spring and fall terms ; we regret that we lose her from the board of teachers.
The winter term was taught by Miss Abbie C. Vinal, with fair success. Miss Vinal, however, and several other of our young teachers would be greatly benefited by one or more year's attendance at some good normal school.
HIGH STREET.
This school has been under the tuition of Miss Harriet R. Ellms. She has had very good success, and we hope she will be retained.
MAIN STREET.
Miss Emily S. Lee is an excellent educator. This, how- ever, is a mixed school. The result is, Miss Lee is over- worked, and is obliged to close her school at the end of the ninth week of the winter term. Take out eight or ten grammar scholars from this school, and you will relieve the teacher, and give the little folks that remain much better advantages.
8
CHARLES STREET.
The first two terms were taught by Miss Lizzie Merritt, with very good success. Miss Mary J. Bowditch was en- gaged to teach the winter term, and succeeded very well indeed.
BEACH STREET
was taught the first two terms by Miss C. F. Litchfield. 'If Beach street had twice as many scholars, it would be better for the school and for the teacher.
The winter term, Miss Edith E. Stoddard was engaged to teach the school. Miss Stoddard lacks confidence in herself ; experience will help her in this respect, and we hope will make her an able teacher.
CONIHASSET HALL.
There are some smart scholars at this school, and Miss Deborah M. Hatch is a teacher of experience and ability. We hope this school will be located in a more central position, and that Miss Hatch will be retained as its teacher.
ARMORY HALL.
This school has been taught during the year by Miss Sarah L. Young. It is nothing more than fair to say that, for num- bers, regular attendance, and good discipline, Armory Hall school leads all the schools in the town. We but echo the sentiment of the committee, the parents, and the public generally, when we say that Miss Young is pre-eminently successful both in government and in imparting instruction.
TOWN HALL.
The first term was taught by Mr. Frank T: Vinal. Mr. Vinal has had considerable experience in schools. He was quite popular with his scholars.
9
Mr. A. J. McGown taught the fall and winter terms. Mr. McGown is an experienced and able instructor. He believes in good order, and knows how to sustain it. We hope that, if a liberal advance of salary will have any influ- ence, he will be retained in this school.
This " review," Gentlemen of the Committee, you re- quested me to make. It is necessarily brief, but to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is fair and just.

RECAPITULATION.
According to the tabular returns, the whole number at the High School has been fifty; subtract the number in the first class (four), and add the number promoted (sixteen), and we have a High School of sixty-two members. The number for the year at Armory Hall has been fifty-four; subtract the number promoted from (ten), and add the number pro- moted to (ten), and it will number fifty-four, the same as last year.
The largest number enrolled at Conihasset Hall last year was forty; subtract those promoted from (ten), and add those promoted to (twenty), and locate the school where all can attend, and you have a school of fifty members.
The whole number for the year in the ten primary schools is, three hundred and twenty; subtract thirty promoted to the Grammar Schools, and add fifty, the estimated number of new pupils, and we have three hundred and forty Primary scholars, an average of thirty-four to each school.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We recommend you to increase the pay of such successful teachers in the Primary Schools as remain in town the second year. We also suggest that you consider the question, whether the school year cannot be so arranged as to exclude the months July and August, and January and February.
MUSIC.
We recommend singing in all the schools, and hope that, before long, the town will furnish instruments of music for. the High and Grammar Schools.
14
DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
Reading of the Bible is required by law. Offering of prayer in our public schools is supported by general custom, not only in the State of Massachusetts, but is the general practice in schools of every grade throughout the civilized world. We hope this matter will be left to the good sense of the teachers.
VISITING SCHOOLS.
If parents would manifest their interest in the schools by frequent visits upon the same, we think the influence upon both teachers and scholars would be most salutary. Let the mothers take their needle-work and spend the afternoon in the school-room, listening to the ordinary recitations of the day. Let the fathers, instead of loafing at the grocery store, go into the school, and thus show their children that they have an interest in their welfare.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say, I fear we do not, any of us, sufficiently appreciate the importance of general education. No republican government is possible unless the masses are educated. Self-government requires intelligent citizens. Among ignorant and degraded people, the only form of government possible is a despotism ; but among an enlightened people, despotism is impossible. God never made a man capable of holding despotic sway over an edu- cated and Christian nation.
Bibles and spelling-books are a more efficient safeguard of our liberties than arsenals, forts, and ships of war. A good army of teachers, competent and faithful, is a better guaran- ty of freedom than an army of soldiers.
15
Our country, stretching from ocean to ocean, and placed in a latitude known as the " belt of power," opens her doors to all nations of the earth ; the rich and the great do not care to come, but the oppressed and the down-trodden look upon the land of the stars and stripes as the poor man's paradise. We bid them welcome; we say to them, "COME ! we have air enough for you to breathe, bread enough for you to eat, work enough for you to do, and, thank God, freedom enough for you to enjoy." Let them come; they will people our land, develop our resources, and become to us a source of prosperity and power, provided they become naturalized.
But it is not in the power of the law or the politician to make citizens; they can make voters and tools, but the AMER- ICAN CITIZEN is the man who has intelligence enough to appreciate our free institutions, and manliness enough to love them. Such citizens can only be made through the agency of the schools.
It is not to be expected that those parents who do not know the benefits of education will be very desirous of se- curing the advantages of the schools for their children. Facts show that instead of sending them to school, they allow them to idle about the streets, or set them at work in shops and factories.
Now the country, looking to its own welfare in the wel- fare of the individual citizen, must supply the defect of a portion of the parents, and not only furnish suitable schools, but require attendance upon them.
Educationists and statesmen all over the land are waking up to this necessity, and the sovereign people must soon inaugurate such a policy, or bid a long farewell to freedom and the hope of republican government.
You, gentlemen of the committee, are deeply interested in this work of education, and we are persuaded that the people
16
of the town will afford you all the means necessary to carry on the schools, with economy to be sure, but with eminent success.
Respectfully submitted.
