CHARLES MANSON, Town Clerk.
SCITUATE, Dec. 31, 1894.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee make this their annual report of the condition of the schools :-
Mr. Edwin H. Watson, who had been a super- intendent of the schools for five years, vacated the office in May, as the town at the March meeting had voted to discontinue the system of district super- intendency.
The Committee thinking a division of the work desirable decided upon the following plan : Language, and the sciences, were entrusted to Miss Skeele; geography, writing, and drawing, to Mr. Bailey; and to Mrs. Webb were assigned reading, arithmetic, and history. Upon the usual examinations of the scholars in these several branches, the Committee were pleased with the results which were very satisfactory. Marked improvement was seen in the study of language, which, too often neglegted, is one of the most important. Southworth's and Goddard's Language Lessons, a valuable text book, has been placed in the hands of the teachers, who find it to be a great help, and in the coming year will be used in the grammar schools.
In reading, the teachers can not be too careful in calling attention to the right pronunciation of words, to proper emphasis, and to distinct, clear, enunciation,
52
Reading requires as much study as other branches, and the more time bestowed by the pupils the better will they enter into the spirit of the composition, and understand the author's meaning. Supplementary reading helps in this direction. The advantages of this are many. It brings to the knowledge of the pupils the characteristics of the style of different au- thors, and makes him familiar with general literature. Selections from Longfellow and Hawthorne have been read with profit and interest in the grammar schools.
In the past very little attention has been given to drawing. Within a few years it has been appreciated as never before. It is now considered an efficient means of quickening the powers of observation, of bringing to the notice of the scholars the form and color of objects; in a word, of enhancing the concep- tion of the beautiful. Some of the specimens shown in our schools were very commendable, and disclose the fact that it only needs practice to develop a talent that otherwise would remain dormant.
Music has also occupied a part of the time in our schools. Miss Perry, a competent teacher, and em- ployed at a small salary, has done most excellent work, so that in the near future we shall have reason to be proud of the musical ability of some of our scholars, who seem to be very much interested in her methods of instruction. Musical charts have been bought at a less cost than books, and obviates putting the work upon the blackboard, Some of the benefits
53
derived from the study of music are well expressed by the late Prof. Tourjee, when he said, " Where music is taught in our public schools, the ribald songs dis- appear from our streets. It holds the highest rank as an aid to memory. The power of observation and ex- pression is heightened by it, and, as a mental disci- pline, is in no way inferior to the vaunted study of mathematics."
HIGH SCHOOL.
The High School still maintains its excellent repu- tation under the care of Mr. Mallory and Mrs. Neely. The entering class was larger than usual, in all twenty-eight pupils, which obliged the Committee to add some new seats to the school-room. Contribu- tions are constantly being made to the laboratory. Specimens of insects, minerals, and other objects, which are being collected, serve to make natural his- tory, geology and mineralogy very attractive sciences to the young minds. A fine piano, through the in- terest and zeal of the pupils, was bought last June by funds raised by various entertainments, and is nearly paid for. This enabled the Committee to purchase the organ from the High School Association, and place it in the East Grammar School. The graduating exercises were held in the new Town Hall. The seating capacity was equal to the demand, so that every one was made comfortable. The diplomas were presented to the graduates by Mr. Bailey, who ad-
54
dressed them in a very appropriate speech. The class presented the school with a fine engraving of Whittier, which is an ornament to the room.
The graduates were : Moses Low Brown, Jr., Wil- mot Merchant Brown, Estella Litchfield, Arthur Ed- win Litchfield, Herbert Davis Litchfield, Charles Ed- win Manson, Frederick Louis Pratt, Sara Frances Pratt, Edwina Lewis Seaverns.
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Bedell remains in the East Grammar School, and is a most satisfactory teacher. It would be diffi- cult to fill her place, if she were to leave. Her assis- tant, Miss Grace Neely, resigned to take a school at a higher salary in Saugus. Miss Mallory, a former assistant in the school, has taken her place. This school, for the first time, has been taught mineralogy and astronomy, and their acquaintance with these studies would be worthy of scholars of a higher grade. The West Grammar has had many changes. Miss Coye and Miss Gardner left in June. Miss Morse was engaged in September as Principal, and Miss Torrey as Assistant. They both resigned in Decem- ber, when Miss Tupper and Miss Grace Otis took their places. A school suffers from such frequent changes; the studies are interrupted, the scholars be- come indifferent, and do not make the progress they otherwise would. This school was planned for the accomodation of about fifty pupils, with one teacher,
55
and, as the school now numbers sixty-five pupils, which requires an assistant, and a recitation room, the present accomodations are inadequate, and additional room is needed.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
These schools are all doing well. They are exceed- ingly interested in nature study, and are learning les- sons of the trees, plants and animals which they never will forget, but which will add to their intelligence in after years. Moulding boards have been placed in these schools which helps the children in the study of geo- graphy. The number work is more rapid than formerly and the schools show progress in this study. Some changes have taken place in these schools. Miss Kate Skeele was appointed teacher of the South Street School in place of Miss Nellie Vinal, who resigned. Miss Josephine Ward, one of our High School graduates, and who had a year in the Quincy training school, was given the High Street School. We think the Town is to be congratulated that so much really good work is done by the teachers in our lower grade of schools.
SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The school-houses are in good repair. One or two will need to be painted on the outside this year. Be- sides the usual repairs, a new fence has been placed on the south and west side of the West Grammar school- house. The Highland Street required an unexpected
56
outlay of money to repair the injury caused by light- ning. Maps and charts are needed in all the schools, and they will be supplied as fast as the funds will allow. We would suggest that an appropriation be made for trees to be planted in front of the High School-house. Interest the pupils in beautifying the school-house and grounds, and make each one to feel that he has an individual interest in keeping them in the best of order. Soon the fruits of such a policy will be manifest in an increased interest in all school work.
The schools require patient and constant super- vision. The Committee mean to discharge their sev- eral and many duties with conscientious fidelity. Nothing human is perfect ; we can not expect perfec- tion of our schools. We must keep the standard high, and though we move slowly towards it, yet feel that the ideal is a source of constant stimulus and am- bition. With the co-operation of all interested, pupils, teachers, committee and parents, we shall from year to year elevate the standard of our schools and ac- complish better results in the education of the young of our Town.
