REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The law imposes upon School Committees in this Com- monwealth the duty of making detailed reports of the condi- tion of the several public schools under their supervi- sion annually, and your Committee, in the discharge of that duty, feel that they have reason to congratulate the inhab- itants of the town upon the generally healthy condition of the schools in their municipality. While during the past year the schools have not escaped the friction inci- dent to such a system as ours, yet upon the whole they have prospered in an excellent degree, and the results have been gratifying and widely beneficial, fully attesting the wisdom and foresight of their founders and the liberality of their supporters.
The teachers have been zealous and laborious, appreciating their high commission ; they have wrought for the future, and verily their works shall follow them.
In consequence of an anticipated reduction in the amount of money to be raised for the support of schools prior to the last annual meeting, the committee then in office arranged a reduction in the salaries of teachers which it was found necessary to make at the fulfillment of that anticipation at the annual meeting. In examining the salaries paid to our teachers heretofore, the position held by them, the amount of work required, and the value of the services rendered, it was thought that they were in some instances disproportion- ate, and that a pro-rata or per cent. deduction would not adjust the differences and would be unfair in some respects ; so your Committee endeavored to take fairly into considera- tion all the elements which, in their judgment, should be considered in determining the salary to be paid each teacher, and fixed the same accordingly. In some instances this
75
seemed to work a very large reduction, and created a little friction, but on the whole was found very satisfactory, and the teachers yielded to the necessities of the times with com- mendable alacrity. But for some changes which subse- quently became necessary, and for expenditures for assistants, which were inevitable and entirely unforeseen, this reduction would have amounted to about ten per cent. of the gross sum paid for salaries. The abolition of the Training School, the consequent employment of another teacher, the necessity of an assistant in the Second Grammar and Second Primary for a portion of the year, and a slight increase in the salary paid to the teacher of one school, has reduced the amount hoped to be saved quite materially. The amount paid Training School scholars would nearly if not quite offset the expense of the extra teacher, and the other items referred to will show the reason for the slight expenditures over the estimate made by us, and the amount raised and appropriated by the town. It is to be sincerely hoped that no further reduction of salaries will be attempted, and if not the present year, very soon the town will be able to increase the compensation of her most valuable and valued servants.
