SCITUATE, January 12, 1887.


ANNUAL REPORT


- -- OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


1


-OF THE-


TOWN OF SCITUATE


FOR THE YEAR


1886.


PLYMOUTH : AVERY & DOTEN, BOOK AND JOB PRINTERS. 1887.


REPORT.


The School Committee of Scituate respectfully present the following as their annual report to the citizens of the Town :


We should be pleased, if we could say that our schools had reached our ideal : that there were no deficiencies in the teachers, no disorderly children, no lack of funds, and no need of criticising parental influence. It would be very pleasant and gratifying to us if we could truth- fully write such a report, but such a state of things does not exist at present.


As heretofore, we shall endeavor briefly to give you facts concerning the condition of the public schools in our Town.


At the last annual meeting, Mr. George W. Bailey was re-elected for one year, and while unable to give a large portion of his time to the schools, yet he has evinced a growing interest in the all-important subject of educa- tion, and has been a valued member of the Committee.


The first item of importance claiming our attention, was in regard to certain children coming to one of our schools from an adjoining town. Bills had been presented by the Committee, but the parents refused to pay them, so we expelled the scholars from the school.


4


The difficulty was soon adjusted, however, by the pay- ment of the bills by the aforesaid town, as appears in our Treasurer's report.


In April, the High School Assistant, Miss Mabel Stevens, received a call to another field of labor, at a salary of $600. We regretted exceedingly to have her leave, but we could say nothing, as we could hold out no inducement whatever, so far as an increase of pay was concerned.


Through the Teachers' Co-operative Association, we were fortunate to secure the services of an experienced teacher to complete the term-Miss Hattie F. Weeks. She soon won the affection and confidence of her pupils, and rendered efficient service.


In June, a class of three was graduated from the High School, consisting of Miss Ella G. Litchfield, Miss Agnes I. Merritt and Miss Edith E. Welch. During the early part of the senior year, the want of numbers seemed to lesson the ambition of the class, but as graduation drew near, they applied themselves to the work, and made a very commendable showing. The exercises were held in the Unitarian Church. The Hingham Philharmonic Orchestra furnished the music.


There were twenty-five scholars who took the examina- tion for promotion to the High School. Twenty-six from the Primary Schools took the examination to enter the East Grammar, and the same number to enter the West Grammar School.


At the opening of the schools in September, Miss Abbie J. Gannett, a native of Scituate and also a former


5


teacher, met the engagement made with her by the Committee at the time Miss Stevens left, and entered the High School as Assistant. Although she was not ex- perienced in this particular department of school work, yet she exhibited special qualifications for an excellent teacher. She also was tempted by the offer of $600 to go to Milford, to fill an easier position. In justice to Miss Gannett, we feel it a duty to say that, having once lost her health by overwork, and feeling at this time that the work was too great, she felt it her duty to accept the offer.


We were again without an Assistant. Such frequent changes in any school are a great detriment. We have obtained the services of Miss Bessie R. White, of Somer- ville, who was a graduate of the High School in that city, and later of Colby University of Maine. How long we shall be able to keep her. is a matter of great uncertainty, as the person qualified to fill this position will not remain here long for the price we now pay. We hope for the best, however, as she is doing her work to the satisfaction of both Committee and Principal.


We may well feel proud of our High School in its present condition, under the leadership of Mr. Murray, and we hope parents will use their influence to encourage pupils to remain and pursue their studies to the end. Let us graduate a full class in June. It can be done, it ought to be done. Another point right here. Parents, do not permit your sons to be absent on the last day of any term. It does not show proper respect to the teacher, after he has labored assidously to educate your


6


children, and who desires that the people shall know what progress they have made, invites the people to see "for themselves, and just then has no scholars to exhibit. Only eleven out of twenty-nine boys were present on the closing day of last term.


Our schools are generally doing well, and one thing we should be thankful for, is, that we have so many teachers of experience. Were it otherwise, it would be almost an imperative duty for the town to employ an educated, practical teacher for a Superintendent, for (to use the words of another), "I do not find that a novice in teaching, coming from the High School, has much knowledge of the philosophy of his work, or much skill in teaching elementary branches to young children," and as they thus come to the work without a Normal training, constant and almost daily supervision should be given, until they acquire the necessary knowledge and experi- ence. But we are fortunate in this respect, as nearly all of our teachers are veterans in the work, and the few who are not, are doing good work.


There still lingers in the minds of many, an aversion to the introduction of teaching the elements of natural science. Prof. Agassiz said, years ago, " that we could not have scientific men in this country. for the reason that the foundations for scientific research were not laid in the elementary schools. These elements are especially adapted to train the mind through the powers of observa- tion, and so to fit it to pursue all studies by a scientific method." We believe the recent introduction of the elementary physiology will tell upon the physical con-


7


dition of the generations to come. The introduction of industrial drawing (which is really required by statute) into our schools in its elementary form, would be some- thing of far-reaching and practical value. The child is first taught Observation, including all that pertains to knowledge of form; 2d, Expression ; 3d, Invention or Design, including all new arrangements of form, &c. How often drawing would be serviceable in illustrating other studies, Geometry, Philosophy, &c.


Since the great mass of humanity are "to eat bread by the sweat of their face," how necessary it is that they should be so thoroughly equipped in childhood, that they may come to the task with intelligent and even scientific knowledge.


There are several things we wish to lay before you for . your consideration, concerning our school-buildings. They are now all painted on the outside, and will not need any outlay in that direction for some time.


The first of which we will speak, is our High School building. The time has not come for the Committee to ask for a new school-building, but we think better accommodations should be given for a recitation room. As it now is, twenty-two pupils, beside the teacher, are crowded into a room 10 x 113 feet, and only 83 feet high. Think of this, and remember there is a stove in addition. How are they to have any ventilation what- ever, without opening the window or door? then the scholars nearest the opening feel the draft and those nearest the stove feel too much heat. This room gives


8


about 422 cubic feet of air to each scholar, while health demands 250 feet.


Our recommendation is, to close the present front entrance and remove all the partitions, separating the present small rooms, and let the present room, entry and Selectmen's room all into one recitation-room, which will then allow the use of the blackboard during the recita- tions, and give a little better ventilation. For a main entrance to the hall or school-room, make a two story addition, on the east side of the building, with vestibule on first floor, and Town Officers' room on the second. The expense would not be burdensome, but the con- venience would be great, and the health of teachers and pupils would not be jeopardized, as it now is under the present arrangements.


It will be remembered that, acting under Article 21 at the last Annual Meeting, the Town voted to move the Common Street Primary School building to some point near the Third Cliff, and that a joint Committee, consisting of the Selectmen and School Committee, were appointed to locate and move said building.


After due consideration of the matter and at the second meeting of said joint Committee, it was voted, That, as the Committee could not agree as to the location of the Common Street School-house, that we report to the Town in March next for further instructions. Voted, That the Chairman of the School Committee present the report to the Town.


In order, therefore, for the Town to act understand- ingly, we anticipate that report by laying before you


1


-


9


some facts. There are now within the two districts (Brook Street and Common Street), and also including the children on the southerly end of the Third Cliff, sixty primary children, showing that if the buildings could be properly located, they could all be comfortably accommodated, only thirty scholars to each school. Had the Committee located the Common Street School-house in Mr. Cumming's field, as some suggested, the scholars in the westerly part of the district would have been about as far away as the Cliff children are now, and with so large a number of houses west of that location, which may in the near future, be filled with children, it seemed as though we might soon have to build a new house on the Common.


The Brook Street School-house, placed at a point not far from the corner of Kent and Ridge Hill Streets, dividing the districts the other way. i. e., north and south, would, in many respects, be preferable to the other plan. But this we could not do under the vote of the Town.


One word in regard to the building of a new school- house on or near the Third Cliff. It seems to us that with only sixty primary scholars within this territory. such an outlay-which is not simply the first cost of the building, but the constant expense of running an extra school-is too much to be asked.


In view of all these facts, we reiterate what we have said before, that for the present, the cheapest, the most equitable plan is to furnish conveyance to those on the southerly end of the Third Cliff. The attendance at the


10


South Street School was never so punctual and constant as during the experimental period of last year, and has not been since. The scholars male a marked progress as a result of their uniform attendance.


That the Town should do something is very evident. It is a good sign when parents want their children to be educated, and the Town in its corporate capacity, should do all it possibly can to give both rich and poor the advantages of a common school education ; but still it will not do to move a school-house as often as population changes


In 1884 the largest enrolment at the Beach Street School was thirty-five scholars. This Winter (only two years later) the membership is only eleven. Will any one say that this school-house should be at once moved or abandoned because so few attend ? In 1877 North Main Street School had forty-four enrolled ; in 1882, five years later, it had only twenty-six, now there are thirty-five.


By these statistics we can see that no rash policy should be pursued in changing the boundaries of dis- tricts, or in changing the location of school-houses.


We hope the Town will deliberately and dispassionately discuss this question, and arrive at a definite conclusion, and the Committee will endeavor to carry out the wishes of the Town.


Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. BAILEY, ) JULIA E. WEBB, Committee. GEORGE W. BAILEY, SCITUATE, January 17, 1887.
