REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee of Scituate offer this their annual report to the people of the town.
In April a joint committee of the three towns of Marsh- field, Duxbury and Scituate elected as Superintendent of Schools, under the new law, Frank W. Forest of Ports- mouth, N. H., a graduate of Bridgewater Normal School. Being near the close of the school year, his work was necessarily limited. At the beginning of the school year, in September, he was called to Bridgewater at a higher salary. The committee immediately secured the services of E. H. Watson, a graduate of Dartmouth College, and for the past five years Master of the High School and Superintendent of Schools at Beaver, Pa.
He entered upon the work with a thorough knowledge of the "new education " and its practical adaptation to primary, grammar and high school work.
A course of study has been adopted, teachers' meetings held, and a strong effort made to awaken a true interest and spirit of teaching among the teachers, as well as to instruct them in the best methods of class work.
The teachers have, in most cases, responded cordially and intelligently to the efforts made in their behalt.
4
At the end of the school year Mr. Rich, of the High School, was called to Bridgewater at a higher salary. Though regretting his loss, your Committee find that Lewis T. McKenney, of the Harwich High School and a graduate of Bates College, keeps the school at a high standard of efficiency.
Mrs. Neely, from the East Grammar School, works faithfully and well as an assistant.
Owing to the frequent change of teachers, the progress in the East Grammar School has not fully met our expec- tations this year, but under the present Principal, Frank A. Cattern, it is improving, and we hope will show better work another year.
The Egypt school-house having been pronounced by the Agent of the Board of Education as "unfit for school purposes," your Committee, during the summer vacation. had it thoroughly repaired and re-seated.
The North Main Street School-house, by the liberality of an unknown friend, (to whom we now tender the thanks of the rising generation) supplemented by the ready help of the parents and friends in the district, has also been fitted with new desks and chairs of the most approved pattern. .
The West Grammar School-house has been thoroughly painted, both outside and inside, and presents a very attractive appearance.
Your Committee would recommend the continuance of the office of Superintendent, an efficient Superintendent being the greatest factor in a progressive common school system.
5
We also recommend the looking forward in the near future to a new High School building, which is sorely needed at the present time.
We recommend that the Neck School, consisting of nine pupils, be furnished transportation to the North Main Street School.
We recommend that an appropriation be made to repair and re-seat the Grove Street and Greenbush school- houses.
Finally, we thank the people of Scituate for the confi- dence reposed in us, and assure them that we have en- deavored, in all cases, to act with an eye single to the cause of education and the advancement of the greatest of American ideas, the public school system.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. W. BAILEY, JULIA E. WEBB, School Committee. ELLA BATES,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF SCITUATE :
In accordance with instructions, your Superintendent herewith presents his First Annual Report for the year 1889-90.
Course of Study.
At the beginning of the Fall term, a course of study was prepared for the schools below the High School, com- prising a four year's primary and a three year's grammar course.
The usual course of study, for graded schools below the High Schools, consists of an eight or nine year plan, but it was thought that a seven year plan was, at present, more suitable to the schools of the town, than a longer one. As soon as practicable it should be lengthened. On this plan the schools have been graded and the teaching is now on a systematic basis.
If this course is carried out, with such improvements as may be necessary from time to time, there is no reason why your schools cannot finally be brought into as favor- able a condition as those of any other town.
The full effect of the improvements thus far made can- not be wholly appreciated at once. It is the history of
.
7
all attempts to improve the schools of any town that much must be done which will take a few years to de- velop.
For example, in the introduction of a complete course of instruction in language and grammar, the full effect cannot be shown until the pupils of the lowest class in the Primary Schools have at least entered the Grammar School and taken up the work. Some results may be seen in better form of expression and in more correct language.
The same progress is true of all the other branches taught.
In drawing, the work has been continued according to instructions given by Mr. Henry T. Bailey. Mr. Bailey has again resumed his lessons to the teachers.
The benefits of this study are so universally conceded, that it needs no defense here. No town, which keeps pace with the progress of the times, as this town is en- deavoring to do, would consent to omit it from the list of branches taught in its schools.
Music is taught to some extent, but not as systemati- cally as is contemplated it shall be in the near future. It cannot be expected that instruction in this branch will produce any remarkable singers. Still the study strength- ens and develops the chest and lungs, and gives a control of the voice which is a great aid in producing proper ex- pressions in reading. It also has a refining effect, culti- vates a love for good music and enables the pupils to read ordinary music.
8
Physical Culture.
" While the brain is being trained the body must not be neglected."
In accordance with this maxium a plan of simple calis- thenic exercises has been introduced in all the schools. No complicated system is used. Only such simple move. ments and exercises are employed as will tend to develop the whole body.
School Property.
The general condition of the school-houses is a credit to the town.
The new seats in the North Main Street and Charles Street Schools are a great improvement. The action of the Committee in this respect is highly commendable.
· As soon as it is possible and in accordance with strict economy this change should be made in all the schools. The old-fashioned, straight-backed seats are injurious to the spines of pupils and tend to make them round-shoul- dered and narrow-chested.
The ventilation in the recitation room of the High School is bad to say the least. The large classes that are obliged to occupy the room, for at least half an hour at a time, cannot do so without breathing the air over a num- ber of times. This is decidedly injurious to the health of both teachers and students. The matter should receive immediate attention.
Some of the black-boards in the several schools need repairing, notably the one in the Central Street School. It is of very little use as it is now.
9
The Grove Street School is without maps of any kind. Nothing serves so much to aid the progress of a school as a reasonable supply of such general helps.
At the beginning of the year it was found that many of the books, which had been in use since the free text book law was passed (since 1884), were in such bad con- dition that it was absolutely necessary to replace them. This the committee did, necessarily incurring an extra expense. This does not occur often, and it is expected that the teachers will, in the future, exercise due watch- fulness in this matter and diminish the expenses in- this direction. Books are as much a part of the school property as anything else, and if pupils unnecessarily in- jure them they should expect to pay for them.
Attendance.
Taking into consideration the prevalence of an epidemic this winter, the attendance for the year has been good.
In almost every instance the parents have co-operated heartily with the teachers in this matter. Their efforts have been fully appreciated. The result is very satisfac- tory, as a glance at the Roll of Honor will show.
Children who are absent from their classes, even for a short time, will necessarily fall behind their grade in the school. Regular attendance is, therefore, absolutely essential.
Teachers.
As a whole, the teachers are working with praiseworthy zeal. Meetings have been held, at which methods were discussed and the general welfare of the schools considered.
10
Your Superintendent wishes to express his thanks to them for their hearty co-operation.
Real success in teaching can be attained only by active, energetic work, and by keeping up with the demands of the present spirit of progress.
Every one is not fitted naturally for the profession of teaching, and great care must be exercised in the selec- tion of teachers. .
It is undoubtedly the best policy, financially and other- wise, to employ as teachers, as much home talent as pos- sible. Special training, however, is absolutely necessary.
In order to provide for this, a Course in the Theory and Practice of Teaching has been established in the High School. Members of the graduating class, who intend to teach, are eligible to this course. Instruction in Psychol- ogy and in the Principles of Teaching will be pursued under the instruction of the Principal. The Superintend- ent will give lectures, from time to time, on the methods of teaching the several branches.
He will also give members of this class opportunities of seeing these methods used in the schools. They will also be expected to give class recitations themselves, under his guidance, or that of a competent teacher. Those who show a special aptness for the work, will be recommended as candidates for positions, whenever vacancies occur. .
Statistics.
Attention is called to the Statistical Table herewith presented. It will be seen that there are some schools whose membership is very small. In such schools the
11
classes are very small, and the rivalry and enthusiasm is greatly diminished in consequence. Wherever it can be done, without too great inconvenience to those attending, it would be much better to consolidate with other dis- tricts. There are four such schools. It is earnestly hoped that this matter will receive practical attention.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWIN H. WATSON, Superintendent.
Truant Officers' Report.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF SCITUATE :--
As a Truant Officer, I would respectfully report that I have attended to all cases coming to my knowledge.
HOSEA D. NOTT, Truant Officer. NORTH SCITUATE, Dec. 27, 1889.
SCITUATE, January 27, 1890.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF SCITUATE :-
Having been appointed Truant Officer by the School Committee to fill the unexpired term of Henry Young, I have attended to that duty whenever notified by teachers of any truancy. In most cases, whenever I have asked the parents to give me a proper reason why their children (the supposed truants were not at school) their answer was, they kept them at home because they needed their services ; consequently no truants were returned to school by me.
