REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
TO THE CITIZENS OF MENDON :- In order to comply with the ·expressed wish of the Town, I am obliged to prepare this report be- fore the North and Center schools are closed. All the schools ex- cept the North have. so far. continued through the different terms without more than the ordinary interruption.
The Spring term of the North school was shortened two weeks because of the teacher's siekness. The present term it was inter- rupted again for one week on account of diphtheria.
The number of weeks schooling in the common schools has been increased to thirty weeks.
The schools, with exception of the South, have been taught throughout the year by the same teachers.
It has been, and is, the desire of the superintendent to have the smallest number of classes possible, and uniform methods of teach- ing in all the schools. Two years ago the number of classes in the High school was seventeen ; last year eleven, and this year only eight. In the Grammar, although there was a large class from the Primary in the Fall and no scholars passed from the Grammar to the Iligh, there are but two grades. The same method has been ap- plied to the other schools, and the teachings of the Board of Educa - tion have been followed as closely as possible. The teachers have
26
done all they could to make the plan a success, and the free text books were a great help to gain the desired end.
In all the schools, especial attention has been given all through the year to Writing, and this winter term to Reading. The result. is a good general advance by all the schools in these two necessary acquirements.
No school has made a greater advance this year than has the Albeeville school, under Miss Dora Taft. Excellent work has been done in the Primary. The progress of the Grammar and North schools has been somewhat retarded by the frequency with which scholars have been dismissed. This is one of the worst things. teachers have to contend withi, for it is seldom that scholars in the common schools "make up" a.lesson, if they are excused before their class recites ; and unless they do so before the next recitation, the class is to a certain extent "held back." Yet in spite of this, the teachers in these schools have accomplished a good year's work.
The East school was taught by Miss Griffon of Princeton, an experienced teacher of superior ability, but one who would not use corporal punishment. Good work was done in this school. especi- ally in Reading and Writing ; but in the matter of government, the result shows that sometimes the best way out of a difficulty, for all concerned, is to resort to corporal punishment
In the West school, excellent work has been done, and, like the Albeeville school, it has, by persistent work on the part of the teacher, been brought up to a grade with the other schools men- tioned.
It is impossible to grade the South school with the others. It. requires, as it were, separate treatment. The best thing for the scholars and for the town would be to close it, if the scholars can be accommodated elsewhere without too much trouble.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The High School is taught this year by Mr. N. Currier of En- field, N. H., a graduate of Tuft's College. Under his charge the school is in a flourishing condition ; and whether scholars have been excused before school closed or not, they have almost invariably been well prepared with their lessons before the time for recitation. Scholars have taken at least three studies this year, as they did last. . The school committee consider themselves fortunate in hav- ing secured the services of Mr. Currier, and they and the parents generally are well pleased with his success as a teacher, and thor -- oughly appreciate his efforts to make the school a successful one.
FREE TEXT BOOKS.
Text books and supplies have been furnished the scholars free, as the law requires. It entails a great amount of work upon the. school committee, and extra work upon the teachers ; but the schools- are certainly in a better condition than they were under the old law. as every scholar is now provided with all books and supplies neces-
27
sary, thereby enabling the teacher to form the classes and begin her work the first day of each term, instead of waiting the pleasure of the parents in buying books and supplies for their children. Whether the law is a desirable one for the town or not, must be left for each citizen to decide for himself. The school committee had no choice in the matter. The state made the law, and the commit- tee had to abide by it. All books furnished the scholars, are in goad condition, and have been used as well or better than those owned by the scholars. Scholars could purchase the books used, at cost, if they wished ; but only two or three availed themselves of the privilege.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
A new woodhouse has been built and a well dug for the West school, and the school furniture newly varnished. The East house has been painted outside by the town and inside by the school. The South school house needs shingling badly, and the Primary and Grammar schoolrooms should be furnished with new stoves, as those now in use do not properly warm the rooms, although they consume a large quantity of fuel. The North school should have a well, as the scholars now have to depend entirely on the neighbors for their drinking water, and it may be economy in the end to pre- vent the continuance of this practice.
TEXT BOOKS.
The Franklin Writing series and the Eclectic Writing and Drawing series of books have been used this year, in preference to the Duplex Writing and Bartholomew's Drawing series. McGuf- fey's Speller takes the place of Harvey's two books by the same publishers, at about one-half the cost of Harvey's. The new Frank- lin Readers were used in preference to the old, when classes needed a new reader. White's Elementary Arithmetic takes the place of White's Primary and Intermediate Arithmetics. In the High school the Eclectic Physiology is used in place of Cutter's, being better adapted to the wants of the scholars and costing only one-half as much. There seems to be no need of a change in any of the text books now in use, unless it is the history. There are much better text books in the market than Scott's History, and a change might be made in these text books without much, if any, cost to the town.
