The first end in all education then is developement of the child's powers. Of the different studies pursued in the schools, arithmetic holds the highest place in popular estimation. In the sense that a knowledge of this branch is absolutely essential, and that a lack of a certain proficiency
64
in it leads to utter failure, this opinion is correct. But the belief that the study of arithmetic tends to develope mental power in a greater degree than other studies is open to question. To the great majority of pupils time spent on such parts of arithmetic as compound proportion, alligation, equation of payments, partnership and true discount is lost. It can be more profitably spent on some other branch, the study of which will give better mental training.
The ability to read well, if considered as the power to get thought from the written or printed page, is of great importance. Such power is the key which unlocks the way to all other studies. In this sense a good reader will be a better student in other studies than a poor reader ; natural ability being the same. Elocutionary power is also valuable. Almost all reading outside of the school is silent reading, each individual reading to himself and for his sole benefit. We read to acquire information. He is the best reader who can relate most fully the substance of what he has read to himself. Reading is taught in the schools with this end as the principal one. The introduction of selections from the best authors has furnished the pupils with the best thought. They are then reading something which is elevating and ennobling and which furnishes them with really valuable ideas. The ordinary reader, while containing some grand selections, too often contains much of little value, much beyond the pupil's comprehension, and sometimes that which is absolutely pernicious in its effect. Elocutionary drill is not neglected.
The progressive study of language, oral and written, with such technical grammar as is necessary from year to year, trains the pupil to express his thoughts properly and with greater fluency. For this reason oral spelling is of less value than written. A knowledge of spelling is needed only
65
when it is necessary to write our thoughts. A person may be able to "spell down" a whole town and still be unable to write a page without making many mistakes. Teachers could furnish many instances to prove this.
Drawing, as a means of expression of thought is generally unappreciated. Its value is not apt to be overestimated. It is oftenest underrated. It is of much value as a means of mental training and discipline. In our schools, containing so many grades, it is not possible to give the time to this study that it deserves. Were the schools of the town consolidated in two buildings, and more closely graded, better work could be done in the more essential studies, as well as in this. The teacher would be able to give more attention to each individual pupil. Individual progress from grade to grade would be more rapid. In many instances the pupil would be able to complete the common school course in from one to two years sooner than under present conditions. It is hopde that this can be accomplished in the near future.
We believe that, in this scientific and business era, the mission of the schools of country towns, from the High School down, is to prepare pupils for their life work, and in some cases to enter scientific schools. Much more is demanded of the schools than formerly, that these ends may be thoroughly accomplished. We need not look back many years to note the changes in business methods. The progressive spirit of the age demands that the schools supply to their pnpils whatever is necessary to their proper success. "Each year renders the teacher's task more intricate and exacting. Many of the ideas that were accounted good ten or twenty years ago are not held in the same estimation to day." The fundamental principles of education change slowly. Many of these are, however, being questioned. 'New studies, as well as new methods, claim attention, and
5
66
everywhere we observe a rearrangement of courses of study." It requires the most careful consideration, not only on the part of school committees and superintendents, but by teachers, to sift the wheat from the chaff; to decide what is and what is not valuable to the child. We have no right to experiment on the children, unless we are sure that there is to be some right mental development gained.
Activity, energy and enthusiasm are as necessary in a teacher, as knowledge, or the mere power to impart that knowledge. With ability to govern and power to instruct, must go such activity, energy and enthusiasm as shall infuse into the school these qualities. Pupils must be taught to
think, and think with energy.
They must be incited to
enthusiasm for their work. Education is drawing out and developing the child's powers so that he will acquire knowl- edge and power for himself. The teacher should be con- stantly gaining in skill in his profession. He cannot sit at his desk and pour out questions from the text-book, but casting the book aside, while before the class he should lead each individual to draw the facts from the lesson by his own reasoning powers. This is no light task. It requires constant study and thought, constant progress, a readiness to learn from every source possible, and aptness and energy in utilizing his forces for the best good of the pupils under his care. This applies with equal force to all grades of schools.
As a body the teachers of the Town have shown a most commendable spirit. Their efficiency has been very much increased. In many instances the highest praise is due.
Since the beginning of the Fall term, Mr. Arthur C. Boyden, of the Bridgewater Normal School, has given monthly lec- tures to the teachers on Nature Study and Language. These lectures have proved of great value. Miss Angie C. Damon
67
has given gratuitous instruction in Swedish Gymnastics. Lectures on other branches will be arranged the coming year if possible. We have also been fortunate in having the ser- vices of Miss Bertha A. Perry as an instructor in music since the beginning of the Fall term. Miss Perry has received special training in teaching music in the public schools. Her work has proven the benefit of this study to the pupils. It is hoped that the position may be made permanent.
The citizens of the Town have good reason to be proud of the new High School Building. No town of the population and resources of Scituate, can boast of a better, in its adapt- ability to the use for which it was built. The Committee are to be commended for following the opposite of the usual rule in expending the greater part of the money on the inside, in the substantial equipment and practical arranging of the rooms, rather than expending it in building a struc- ture which would look fine on the outside, and not be suitable for the purposes for which it is intended. It is well planned, light, roomy and furnished with a system of heating and ventilation which, if properly cared for, will prove to be fully equal to what has been predicted for it.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Committee for the courtesy and consideration which they have extended to me in my endeavors to improve the schools of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
E. H. WATSON, Superintendent of Schools.
