their pupils. They have labored assiduously and with very gratifying results. It will sometimes happen that one of these schools will have a class of pupils of greater maturity of mind than the other, so that it is not easy for them to keep exactly abreast of each other. Owing to the fact that one locality is more thickly peopled than the other, the East Grammar will always be a larger school than the West Grammar. This difference has necessitated the employment of an assistant for a part of the time in the East Grammar.
A new text book in grammar has been introduced. The one previously in use, though an excellent book in its way, and valuable as a book of reference or for advanced pupils, was ill suited to our wants and needlessly cumber- some and expensive. The one adopted in its place has, so far, stood the test of practical use in the school room, and it is commended by its bervity and clearness, and its judicious combination of the theoretical and practical in method. Copies of this book have been supplied at a low rate for the use of all. They are the property of the Town, and are loaned to the pupils. This course was deemed advisable as an economic measure, and it may serve as an experiment as to the desirableness of a com- mon ownership of other text books. It would certainly be a relief to those whose posessions consist largely of
8
children, and who find the expense of books a hardship and a hindrance to the full enjoyment of free education.
THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
In some of these schools there was a good degree of promptitude and thoroughness, while in others it was evident that more ground had been passed over than had been diligently cultivated. It is of special importance that the work in these schools should be well done. There is no difficulty whatever in going far enough, the main trouble is to be well grounded. In almost every instance the pupils have gone beyond the assigned limits, but in many cases, while making undue haste to get on, they have lost their hold upon the elementary principles. The remedy for this is plain. It is to be found in the watchful care of the teacher, who should make sure by daily questions and constant reviews that the principles are well understood and retained. It is only by this incessant drill that the foundation work can be securely laid.
It is evident that our endeavors to make improve- ment in our schools must begin at the foundation. If these are well laid the effect will be seen in the entire structure. Might not some of this preliminary teaching be done more expeditiously ? Why should a child be
9
allowed to pass the four or five longest years of his life, and then be sent to school to be laboriously taught the letters of the alphabet ? Could he not learn as much as that even from his toys, and save such needless drudgery ?
GENERAL REMARKS.
The Committee are glad to know that something is being done in those branches sometimes called ornamental, but not, on that account, the less useful. Singing is practiced in several of the schools and it is desirable that it should be in all of them. Here and there has appeared a decided taste for drawing, and it is recommended that during the coming year this branch should receive more systematic attention. This art is particularly adapted to the instruction of young pupils. It calls into play the perceptive faculties and fosters a habit of minute and careful observation. . It invites attention to the Creator's works and opens to the mind a vast field of delightful occupation, not to speak of the practical application of this art to industrial purposes.
In conclusion, the Committee would bespeak for the teachers the appreciative sympathy and hearty co-oper- ation of the parents. The work of the teacher is only the delegated work of the parent. The parent may
2
10
avail himself of the assistance of others, but he ought not to forget that the work of instruction and training still belongs to him and that there is no escape from its obligations. It is of the first importance that those so closely allied as the parent and teacher should be in full accord, so that by unity of aim and effort the manners and morals, as well as the mental faculties, may be shaped to the pattern of good and useful and happy members of society. The teacher's work is peculiarly arduous, making large demands upon the nervous forces, and because it is so wearisome and wearing it is entitled to great consideration. The interest of the parent should not display itself in blind criticism, but rather in frequent and friendly visits to the school room, where enlightened views and kindly conferences may do much to help both parent and teacher in their common work.
For the Committee,
WM. B. GREENE, Secretary. JOSEPH O. COLE, Chairman. WM. P. ALLEN.
