ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
Town of Scituate
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DEC. 31,
1 900
Scituate 5
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee of Scituate herewith submit their annual report :
The school census taken in September shows the follow- ing :
Number of boys between the ages of five and fifteen, 185
Number of girls between the ages of five and fifteen, 182
Total, 367
Number of boys between the ages of seven and fourteen, I27
Number of girls between the ages
of seven and fourteen, I30
Total. 257
The number of pupils enrolled in the schools during the year was 407. Of these two were under five years of age, 46 over fifteen, and 359 between five and fifteen. The whole number in the town between five and fifteen was 367. The average attendance was 358. The ratio of the attend- ance between five and fifteen is 92 per cent. The number reported as not absent for one term. IIO: not absent two terms, 35; not absent for the whole year. 9.
The law of 1898 requires that every child between seven and fourteen years of age shall attend school during the en- tire time the schools are in session. An examination of the registers indicates that the average attendance record com- pares favorably with that of last year. The absence of children from school not only causes loss of interest, and discouragement, but interferes with the progress of the
-4-
classes, and we hope that the parents will urge upon their children the necessity of being regular in their attendance. As an incentive to punctuality, we feel justified in mention- ing the names of those who have been most faithful in their attendance. See appendix to this report.
The attendance of the Hatherly school has been affected by the whooping cough which prevailed among the children attending it.
The membership of the grammar grades in the Hatherly school is larger than last year. Grades seven and eight number thirty-eight pupils. Grades five and six number forty-nine pupils. Additional seats will be required in these rooms next year. Miss Edith C. Holland, who had been principal of this school since, its opening in 1897, re- signed in November, for a more lucrative position in Brock- ton, and was succeeded by Mr. A. Leavitt Crosby of Hing- ham.
Miss Sara Tilden Bailey, teacher of drawing, on account of ill health, was obliged to give up her position for the win- ter months. Miss Annie Keene, of Cohasset, who is ex- perienced in the work, is acting as substitute.
The report of the School Committee last year called at- tention to the need of additional accommodations for the increasing number of children in the East Grammar school, and the necessity of a building with modern improvements, and better sanitary arrangements, suggesting a union build- ing for the accommodation of all the pupils in the east part of the town. Acting upon this suggestion, the town voted to erect such a building, and have raised the money. The building has been commenced on the lot donated by Mrs. Emeline S. Jenkins, of Boston, and we hope it will be ready for occupancy next September.
In the east part of the town only such repairs on the schoolhouses as were actually necessary have been made, an- ticipating the closing of the same next year. Should they
-5-
be in use, however, another year, considerable outlay on these buildings will be needed. The ordinary repairs have been made on the Hatherly school, and grounds improved. A new plank walk has been laid on the High school premises. The High street schoolhouse having been struck by lightning during the summer, caused an expense of $130 for repairs. The building now presents a very neat appearance.
We would earnestly call attention to the reports of the superintendent and special teachers, and hope they will be read carefully. as they give a more detailed account of the progress and condition of our schools.
The committee recommends that the town make the fol- lowing appropriations for the ensuing year :
Support of schools, $6,800 00
Conveyance of pupils, 1,200 00
Salary of superintendent. 250 00 Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the School Committee:
This report. the sixth of the present series, together with the reports of the teachers of music and drawing, are respect- fully submitted for your consideration.
The general work of the schools has in all respects been equal to that done during the preceding year.
The teachers as a class have attended to those things which are essential. They have been faithful in the discharge of their duties. They have accepted criticism in the same spirit in which it has been given. They have been zealous and enthusiastic in their work. They have accomplished much in the face of much that was against success. If there are any who feel that teachers in Scituate do not earn what they receive in compensation for their work, wear, and worry, let them take the place of any one of them for just one week.
I append to this report a table of statistics, which I trust will receive your careful perusal. It tells its own story as to the attendance in the several schools. No comment re- garding this subject is necessary from me.
By some, it is often said that our schools are costing too much; that the money annually expended by the town is not warranted by the results.
Think of this first as merely applying to the buildings, grounds, etc. It must be agreed that if we have good buildings we must pay for them, and to keep them good, we must pay for having them cared for. If they are not in good repair, we ought to make them so. If we want good
-12-
teachers, too, their salaries must be such as to persuade them to stay with us.
No man in any business enterprise would expect to suc- ceed without an outlay of money. A new floor, new chairs, a new coat of paint, a new fence, or the old one fixed up, the grading of the grounds, are all items of true economy in the support of schools.
A dollar, or two dollars, a week, added to the wages of a teacher who has proved herself to be the right one in the place, rather than allow her to go elsewhere is, it seems to me, an evidence of economy. New and improved text- books, and all the appliances which tend to make the work of the schools better, pleasanter, quicker and easier, if pro- vided, will surely pay in the end.
Referring above to textbooks, causes me to emphasize somewhat the condition of those in our schools. Some of the books now in use are excellent. Some are not so good.
Variety of textbooks may be made a source of evil in the schools. Provided that all the books are good, variety in any given school is an excellent thing, so far as we consider only that school. But when the consideration is for all the schools in town, then, it seems to me. the variety ought to be the same for each one.
In view of what has been said. I wish it might be possible for your board to adopt certain textbooks as standards, and around these group as much of supplementary material as your appropriations will permit.
I would recommend the following list of textbooks, some of which are already in some of the schools :
Reading-The Baldwin Series.
Spelling-The American Word Book.
Grammar and Language-The Metcalf Series.
Arithmetic, Grades I to IV-Prince.
Arithmetic. Grades IV to IX-Milne, Wentworth, or Franklin.
-13-
Geography-Rand & McNally.
History-Montgomery Series. Writing-Natural.
Physiology-Blaisdell.
If we could equip all our schools with such of the above books as the individual cases demanded, and then could send to each some supplementary material, I am sure the results would be more satisfactory than they are at the present time. It is my sincere desire that the finances of another year will admit of some such arrangement as has been suggested.
The prospect in the near future, of a new building in the east part of the town, if ever realized, will render the condi- tions for excellent work as favorable as in any town of the size of Scituate in the State. With practically but three schools, the High, Hatherly and Jenkins schools, located as they will be, and good facilities for transportation, there will be no reason why the quality and quantity of work done should not be equal to the work in any town in Massachu- setts.
When those things, which are in sight, exist in fact, and we have but three large schools, would it not be proper for your board to seriously consider the matter of a ninth grade ? In many ways the work of the seventh and eight years is crowded. Some material which is better suited to the ninth grade is included in those years, while much that is desirable, previous to entering the High school, is left out altogether. Could what is left out, and what is put into the two upper years, which makes them overworked, be united in a ninth year, the work of the High school would go on without stopping to do the elementary work that must be done under the present conditions.
The routine work of the schools has gone on much as it has in preceding years.
Before closing this report, I wish to make special mention of one line of work in which there has been a very decided
-14-
improvement, that is in the penmanship of the pupils from the east part of the town, particularly in the East Grammar school. No set of examination papers, in the six years of my service, could begin to compare with those of December last, in legibility and neatness. The desire to make neat- looking papers in the regular work previous to the examina- tions, gave enthusiasm to the whole work of the term, in the case of the Grammar school. As a reward of merit, par- ticularly fine papers in any of the studies were hung up for inspection of visitors, in some conspicuous place in the room. The enthusiasm in this part of the work left its mark in other ways. The work was easier, more quickly performed, and nearer correct.
I wish, in closing, to express to you my thanks for your favor and support in the past, and my hope that I may merit a continuance of it in the future. I wish also to thank those teachers who have so loyally seconded my efforts to improve the schools of Scituate.
EDGAR L. WILLARD, Superintendent of Schools.
Scituate, Jan. 1, 1900.
REPORT ON MUSIC.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The teaching of music in the schools has been steadily progressing along the main lines through the graded schools. In the High school the progress is not so marked.
It is quite apparent that upon becoming qualified to enter the High school, the pupil jumps from the indignity of the love of singing and all knowledge of the rudiments, like a jack-in-the-box. to the glorious atmosphere of indifference.
-15-
If any parent feels that the pupils are missing advantages that should be theirs, he or she should cross-examine the pupil to find if the attempt has been all that it might be. The lessons have been assigned in accordance with the re- sponse from the pupils. Surely the supervisor can do no more than teach the lesson, depending upon the pupil to retain it.
The Grammar grades are doing excellent work, especially in the two-part music, showing an interest and pleasure which is very gratifying to their teachers. At the close of the school year some quite well-informed pupils passed on to the High school, and it was quite disappointing to find that they met with that same jack-in-the-box experience.
The Primary grades have the most drudgery in their work; nevertheless, they are interested and even excited with parts of it. Their work has been enlivened by songs and jingles, until they have quite a repertoire.
By becoming possessed of a complete set of Normal Music Course books, which correspond with the charts already in the schools, the supervisor has been able by loaning them to some of the desks, to devote the whole of the allotted half- hour to teaching.
In the oral work there is very little difference in the results in the schools of like grades, but in the reading at sight the school which is furnished with books shows a marked ad- vantage. They sing with readiness and precision which is due to a thorough practice in ever-changing studies.
We hope soon to take up a few new lines along with the old ones, that we may compare favorably with the work of other schools.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIE C. STODDARD.

REPORT ON DRAWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The aim in teaching drawing has been to choose such por- tions of the subject as are best adapted to meet the immediate needs of the pupil and to enlarge his horizon in regard to the best in art.
The course outlined in last year's report has been followed for the most part this year. The work of the pupils ex- hibited last June in the different schools perhaps tells the story of the year better than anything else can do, for it was certainly much better than that of previous years.
In October, on account of ill health, I resigned the work, but owing to the extreme kindness of the committee, a sub- stitute has been employed, and I shall go back to the work in the spring with the sincerest pleasure.
Of the work done since October I can make no definite report. Miss Annie Keene of Cohasset has been filling the position of drawing teacher. Miss Keene brings to the work large experience in teaching and thorough preparation for this particular subject. There has been no break in the course pursued, the interest has been sustained, and careful, thorough work has been done.
The same enthusiasm prevails among the scholars, and the same thoughtful spirit of work is shown by the teachers.
Respectfully,
SARA TILDEN BAILEY.
