The High School is thus relieved of a portion of the pupils who were utterly unfit to be members of an institution bearing such a name. Others remain who are but little better fitted, and simply because our school building is not large enough to furnish a sufficient number of rooms for a still further classification. We are more than ever impressed with the importance of reducing the studies of this school to a definite system. The effort, hitherto, has been in great measure abortive, mostly because of its mixed character. The better classification which has been effected, somewhat ob- viates the difficulty, and we trust that the immediate future will witness much greater success in this direction. It will require, at first, some degree of self-sacrifice on the part of the pupils, but we trust it may be seen to be a sacrifice which will prove greatly re- munerative in happiest results,
Many of the pupils in this school, have done themselves great credit. At the public examination the classes in mathematics showed that there had been a thorough and patient drill, and close applica- tion. In some of the other sciences, the monthly examination, which we highly commend, has tended to secure definite knowledge on the part of the studious, as appears from the papers written by them at the recitation seats, without access to their books. The mode of teaching grammar, is admirably adapted to excite a laudable am- bition, the fruits of which appear in the interest taken in this de- partment of study, usually dry ; or at the most, well enough if let alone. The method pursued, however, requires the constant vigi- lance of the teacher, and self restraint on the part of the class, or the exercise will run riot. And this leads us to remark that the or- der of the school is somewhat impaired by the presence of a few pupils who need to be brought under a more positive discipline. Without order a school is in session to very little purpose. Most of the pupils conduct themselves with the utmost propriety, and the teacher may feel sure that he will be sustained in any proper method of reducing disorderly elements to subjection. In his hands is the executive power, and it is his right to expect cheerful and prompt obedience on the part of all.

In placing the work of hearing recitations in the hands of ad- vanced pupils, a decided benefit accrues to them. It constitutes an inducement for them to be more thorough in their own studies ; it tends to fit them for future service as teachers : at the same time it requires the greatest care not to have it work to the disadvantage of the class reciting. Life, rapidity of thought, promptness of ut- terance, the ability to inspire with enthusiasm, are necessary quali- fications, no less than accurate knowledge ; and care should be exercised in appointing pupils to this sub-work, lest the exercise should drag, and the object of the recitation be lost.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
has been placed under the care of Mrs. Tolman, who is faithfully at work with her usually good success. Of specific results we can- not speak very fully, as this school has been in operation only a part of a term. It is a pleasure to look upon it, compact, orderly, studi- ons, and prompt.
The Primary School, at the Centre, was also left without a teach- er at the close of the last year, and special pains were taken, and with no little anxiety, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna- tion of Miss Packard. We secured the services of Miss E. Emma Grover, who came to us with the reputation of a successful teacher, and she has fully sustained that reputation. During the first two terms the number of children was so great as to render her labors very exhausting, but the change already described brought a de- cided relief. The little ones are well trained and faithfully taught.
THE SOUTH SCHOOL
has been highly favored with the continned instruction of Miss O. B. Young through the year. Her method is quiet, lady-like, and the visitor often hears from her lips, " Please," when addressing even the smallest child. It is a little matter ; but most of the duties of the position consist in little matters ; and any observer can see how widely different is the educating influence of such a course from one where the teacher uses coarse language, unrefined and nn- dignified words, calling her provoking scholar a stupid dunce, or giving him some other appropriate, it may be, but ill-timed epithet. This school deserves much praise. It yet stands first in reading, considering the age of the pupils ; and in none do we find the reci- tations given with such distinctness of utterance.
29
THE NORTH SCHOOL
was under the charge of their former teacher, Mrs. S. D. Austin, the first term of the present year, who, during the vacation which followed, sent in her resignation, to the regret of most of the pa- rents and their children. She is a teacher of great energy of char- · acter, who, while she did not succeed in securing in her pupils so much definite knowledge of their text books as was desirable, yet communicated not a little information upon subjects not usually brought to the notice of schools of this grade. This has ever been a prominent and laudable characteristic of her work while she has been among us ; and it is our earnest wish that all teachers might imitate her example in this respect.
The Second Term was most fortunate in securing as a teacher, Miss Mary E. Mason. The change in the mode of discipline from the former term was so great that no one could enter the room and not be particularly impressed with it. The pupils were not long in learning that every word, although spoken with the greatest quiet- ness, meant just what it seemed to mean. Good order prevailed ; a marked improvement in the method of study and recitation soon appeared ; and the school continued to rise in every respect to the close of the term. But Miss Mason had a reputation abroad as well as at home, and in an evil day the committee from another town visited her school, and constrained her to take a position elsewhere that would enable her to work with a class of pupils more agreeable to her taste.
The present term, unfinished. is under the instruction of Mr. Al- bert E. Mason, who is doing what seems practicable in a school con- stituted as this is at this season of the year. Many of his pupils are doing what they can to render his work pleasant to himself and profitable to them. It would afford us great pleasure could we re- port the same of the entire school.
We are happy to see that drawing exercises are receiving some attention in our schools. Not many years ago if a piece of paper and pencil were found at the scholar's desk, and he engaged in por- traying a horse or a dog, a reprimand was given. The art of draw- ing was well enough in its proper place, but the public school was not such a place. But if it can be taught only in schools of technology most of our youth must remain ignorant of a branch
30
of study which is fast rising in importance. A writer in the Massachusetts Teacher says that "Popular education in practical art, at least in drawing, which constitutes its leading element, is an entirely feasible thing. The instruction required for this pur- pose can be successfully given by the regular teachers of the public schools ; indeed, if they are supplied with suitable books and other appliances, and if the pupils are examined in this as in other studies for promotion, it can be better given by them, with only their knowledge of the principles of teaching, than by expert draughts- men who are ignorant of the teacher's art." " American artisans are learning that the more artistic the work they can do, the better the wages they can command ; that, in truth, there is hardly any limit to such increase. They further find, in all varieties of build- ing construction, that a knowledge only sufficient to enable them to interpret the working-drawings placed in their hands will add one third to their daily wages."
In art manufactures, at the Universal Exhibition in London, in 1851, the United States stood at the bottom of the list, and England next to her. But England stimulated by this exposure of her true condition, at once took measures to change her position, in respect to this matter, among the nations ; and sixteen years later was declared to be among the first, while the United States yet brought up the rear. We pay duties on many kinds of goods manufactured abroad, as the result of our ignorance in this matter. The Legislature of Massachusetts passed a law in 1870 making instruction in draw- ing obligatory in all our public schools. We have had pleasing evi- dence of not a little latent talent in the art of drawing in quite a number of our pupils during the year, and can but express the wish that such might have opportunity of cultivating this talent in a much higher degree.
We would impress upon parents the importance of home govern- ment of such a character that their children will not be disposed to resist any reasonable government in the school-room. Probably the practise of saying to the child, " If you are punished at school, the punishment shall be repeated at home," is remembered but by few, and repeated by none. So let it be. With proper home discipline corporal punishment is very seldom required either at home or at school. If parents are suitably impressed with the undeniable fact that they are doing more than all others to form the character of
31
their children, a character which is to be more enduring than thought can reach, it will have the tendency to lead them to bring all possible good influences to bear upon their offspring while passing through the impressible years of childhood and youth. It is our earnest wish that this thought may be so entertained as to lead all, on whom rests the responsibility of educating the young, to mutual and hearty cooperation. And to this end we would urge upon pa- rents to suffer nothing but absolute necessity to keep their children from school a single day in term time, or to request the teacher to excuse them before their day's work is accomplished ; and still fur- ther, so to arrange home duties as to allow some uninterrupted time for evening study. This work of acquiring an education in the short time allotted to it in the great majority of cases, is no light matter ; and during this period should enlist the interest and tax the energies of all concerned. And we would urge upon parents the duty of obtaining such knowledge of the working of our public school system as only an occasional personal visit to the school can furnish them.
While we are happy to record our opinion that the schools have made a decided improvement in reading, and much progress in their studies during the year, we feel obliged to believe that there are many degrees in the scale through which they might yet rise ; that while the discipline of the schools is very fair, there is yet a lack of intellectual discipline which only patient industry and continuous training can overcome.
Some of the schools have been much reduced in numbers, at times, by the measles, which will account in great measure for the low aver- age of attendance. This remark applies with special emphasis to the third term of the Centre Primary.
As a reward to some and a stimulus to others, it has been thoughit proper to introduce here the names of such pupils as have been neither absent nor tardy and whether it be for one, two, or three terms.
