Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
At the Washington Street School, in the six rooms, there were 18 fewer enrolled, an average decrease of three to a room ; while at the Rogers School in eight rooms there were thirteen fewer, a decrease of about one and one-half pupils per room, re- ductions which in both cases were scarcely noticeable. During the fall term the number of pupils in all the rooms formerly occupied has been normal and reasonable, except in the case
101
of a much crowded third and fourth grade room at Oxford, which has had fifty pupils enrolled ; and the room at the Rogers School, two eighth grades were combined with an enrollment of fifty-five, in which case one of the teachers conducts the recitations of one division in the Assembly hall. At New Boston, however, the reduction in numbers, caused either by removal or attendance upon private schools, was greater than was antici- pated, and when the number dwindled to fourteen, and another position was made available for the teacher, the closing of this school for the balance of the school year, ending in June, or until there is a possibility of a larger enrollment scems inevita- ble. The difference between the cost of transporting the pres- ent number and the cost of maintaining the school is from four hundred to four hundred fifty dollars per year. The policy of maintaining a school at New Boston will, of course, depend largely upon whether or not there are sufficient children in this section to make a school of sufficient size to be maintained at a reasonable cost. With fifteen or twenty children in four or five different grades, there is no additional expense in trans- ferring these children except for car tickets, which would, in the case of twenty pupils be less than two hundred dollars, while the expense of the school is nearly six hundred dollars.
The small class entering the high school in September, together with the fact that the largest class in the history of the school-twenty-four-graduated in June, plus the losses from natural causes, makes the high school enrollment for the fall term slightly less than during the past year. The total en- rollment for the fall term in all the schools is 885, eighty-six fewer than during the past year, which is a decrease of approxi- mately three and one-half pupils per class.
From the present data and indications it will be possible, by some re-combinations of grades, unsatisfactory though it may be, to care for all the children from the north section in the Oxford building, and at the Old High School. Although but one (1) grade, the eighth, leaves the Rogers School, and two
102
(2) third grades are promoted from the Annex, it is reasona- bly certain that here also, by placing parts of two different grades in a room, four classes may be cared for in three rooms with three teachers, instead of being obliged to employ an ad- ditional teacher.
The heating and ventilating apparatus at the Rogers School which was ordered replaced by the State police, and for which the town appropriated three thousand dollars, was installed during the summer, by the firm of English & Flett, heating and ventilating engineers, for the contract price of $3,069.00, the lowest of the competitive bids. For the first time in a number of years has it been possible adequately to heat this building or to feel sure that the whole plant would not break down in the middle of the school year. It is possible to report that this new plant is working effectively and satisfactorily. It will be seen by the financial statement that the excess of the contract price over the appropriation ($69) was transferred to the cur- rent repair account.
The expenditure for ordinary repairs was largely augmented by the very serious and difficult task of locating and clearing the Rogers School sewer. This problem was serious because of the lack of any information as to the location or direction of the sewer as well as on account of its great depth, it being some seven or eight feet under ground, and terminating di- rectly under one of the street elms.
Since the last annual report the organization and previous plans and policies have been continued and developed along the same lines. The schools were fortunate in being able to begin the present year with only five new teachers, and only two have left thus far during the year.
Legislative acts of 1908 have made it incumbent upon towns and cities to undertake two new phases of work, one of which will involve no expense, and the second of which may or may not. First, through the universal attention which is being paid relative to the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis, the
103
state boards of health and of education have co-operated and agreed upon a plan which makes incumbent upon the schools of every town and city to teach something of the nature, causes and methods of preventing the spread of tuberculosis. This can easily be done without further expense; first, by arousing the interest of the teachers in this work by means of talks by the school inspector, through circulars and pamphlets issued by the state boards of health and education. This has been done in Fairhaven. Second, by teaching all the pupils, as a regular part of their course in physiology, the necessary facts and conditions relative to this subject.
The second act is relative to the commission on industrial education. The gist of the subject is found in Chapter 572, Section 4. "Any resident of Massachusetts may, with the approval of the commission on industrial education, attend an independent industrial school as provided for in this act, located in any city or town other than that in which he resides, provided there is no such school supported in whole or in part by the town or city in which he resides, upon payment by the city or town of his residence of such tuition fee as may be fixed by said commission ; and the commonwealth shall repay to any city or town one-half of all such payments." Already one pupil from Fairhaven has taken advantage of this legislation and is now attending the recently established industrial even- ing school in New Bedford.
This legislation introduces that topic which has been so enthusiastically and variously discussed in Massachusetts and the nation during the last two or three years, relative to the so-called industrial education, but concerning which there is probably as little agreement as may be expected because of the various points of view of the opposing forces. It is agreed by everyone that the final purpose of all education, whether it be in the home, in the school, or in the shop, is first, to develop the ability to get a living; and second, to prepare children to do their share in carrying on the work of the world. As
104
parents we naturally think of the first aim. The second is the view point of the employer who wants salesmen, bookkeepers, factory workers, building laborers and agricultural laborers. A careful student of both sides of this problem points out that the immediate purpose of the public schools has never been directed towards the final ends of education, and has pointed out that the schools of New England were not founded nor have they been maintained to fit directly for getting a living, nor have they had in mind the various forms of business and technical trades. The following paragraphs written by Secre- tary Martin summarize the general aims of the public schools in the past years in this country :
"Their function has been a broader and more fundamental one. The people have reasoned that underneath all forms of productive labor there must be a foundation of general intelligence such as schools properly taught and administered might furnish. They thought that special intelligence and special skill must have appropriate soil to grow in, and that they must be rooted deep in trained powers of mind, powers of observation and of thought, of analysis and reasoning, and that the studying and discipline of schools tended to supply and enrich this soil."
"They believed . . . that opportunities for acquiring knowledge should be offered; that the knowledge should be varied in form, dealing with the world of things and the world of men, so that the young might acquire breadth of view, that their horizons of thought might be extended, so that they might be able to bring to the solutions of the problems of their own daily life a wisdom drawn from knowledge wider than their own experience could supply."
For two centuries and more this has been the end and purpose of public schools, and this doctrine is condensed by Horace Mann in an address on the "Effect of Education on the Worldly Functions or Estates of Men," in which he affirms that
105
"Intelligence is the great money maker, not by extortion but by production."
The results of free public education in New England and in the states which have imitated New England have been far reaching and influential, not only in developing men and women, but through them in making the material and industrial progress of the country great. The present agitation for industrial education arises from the fact that the training in domestic economy, in craftsmanship and in agriculture, and in mechanical pursuits which was obtained in the recent past either in the home, on the farm, or under the apprentice system, is no longer obtainable in the same manner. Hence we have the increasing demand for the public either through its present school system or through independent industrial schools, to provide opportunities for developing skill and knowledge in a variety of technical and mechanical, domestic and agricultural trades which in their various forms may come under the general term industrial training. While it is true that this field of training is bound to be shifted upon the public through definite- ly organized courses either in connection with the present school system or on an independent basis, there seems to be danger that in the extreme enthusiasm of the exponents of the so-called industrial education we may be carried away from that type of education which has by reason of its breadth and wide- ness of outlook aimed at the broader development of men and women who were not only able to make their own immediate living, but also able to promote and develop great industries, and dream the dreams that have made for the wonderful advancement of this country, and lay the solid foundation so firmly that this country has been enabled to withstand not only the shocks of revolution, but go steadily and safely through financial, industrial and social crises. There seems to us to be a tendency on the part of some of the advocates of industrial education to decry and belittle the past type of education and its results in order to make more clear, more emphatic, the very
106
just demands of this newer type of education which must more and more be done through some organized public effort and support.
Industrial education is the latest panacea held out as a remedy for many of the difficulties presented in our social, industrial, as well as intellectual life, but the fact remains that too many are trying to achieve and mount to the heights of success and power by means of external aids furnished at public expense rather than by patient preparation and personal effort and toil, developing the powers within which will be sure to enable the man not only to go alone, but to tackle and solve the tough problem wherever he may meet it.
In other words, it seems unfair to hold out commercial courses, manual training, domestic science, or general industrial courses as an open door to success, or a way of escape for those pupils who, while ambitious for the prizes of success, are unwilling to give the same kind of effort that has ever been the foundation of success, and which is typified in its highest form in the experience of Lincoln in civic life, and of Edison in the field of science. As soon as these newer phases of education may be thought through and the air cleared, it is inevitable that the aims and purposes of public school education must be made to do more than promote the general intelligence of the youth, but must be responsible for a large part of the technical and industrial skill of those who are preparing for life ; and perhaps what is of more importance just at present in our urban life, stimulate a deeper knowledge and sense of civic obligation and morality.
