SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF MENDON :--
The following report of the School Committee is respectfully submitted :--
The Committee organized March II, and assigned the gen- eral care of school property as follows :
West and Albeeville, Henry W. Gaskill; Center and North, Erwin A. Snow; South and East, Lyman Cook. Erwin A. Snow was re-appointed School Book Agent.
At a meeting of the District Committee in April, Mr. Sher- man was re-elected Superintendent of Schools. The condition of the schools has steadily improved under his supervision, and it is the sincere belief of your Committee that the schools are in better condition and are obtaining better results than at any time with- in the knowledge of your present Committee. The work that has brought about this result was begun, and much was accom- plished, under our former Superintendent.
Much to the regret of your Committee it has been found nec- essary to do something to stop the careless and rough usage of school books. In some cases a new book has been ren- dered worthless after being used but one term. This of course is needless. The books are purchased by the Town and loaned the pupils, and they are expected to take reasonable care of them, and if lost or damaged maliciously, or carelessly, should be paid for by the pupil to whom they are loaned.
They have, therefore, adopted the following rule :
That all books belonging to the Town, lost, or damaged, be- yond a resonable wear, shall be paid for by the pupil to whom they are loaned.
As it is the desire of the Committee to have as many local teachers as possible, and as it is also desirable that they should have some training before beginning to teach, we decided that any graduate of the High school desiring to teach may apply to the Committee for the privilege of training in our schools.
The East school has been closed during the year, and the children conveyed to the South.
This is an advantage to both schools, as it gives us one fair- sized school in place of two small ones. There were but six scholars in the East school at the time the change was made, and it is a difficult matter to do much with a school of six or eight scholars. It also enables us to give them the benefit of a much better teacher without any extra expense to the town.

During the year new blackboards have been put in the Pri- mary room, and partly in the South school house, some other repairs have also been made at the South ; this building is now in very good condition. The North school house has been thor- oughly repaired inside, with the exception of the blackboards, these we hope to put in some time in the near future. This building will then be in good condition. The buildings and fence at the Center need painting badly. This should be done this year.
We would respectfully refer you to the annexed report of the Superintendent on the condition and needs of the schools.
We would respectfully recommend the following appropria- tions for the ensuing year :-

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF MENDON :-
The second annual report of the District Superintendent of Schools, and the fifth in the series of Superintendent's reports, is hereby presented.
The general condition of the school buildings is good. That the many details of repairs and improvements have been so well attended to, is due to the care and energy of the committee. The average attendance upon the sessions of the schools has been about the same as that of last year. The East and South schools joined into one school, show a gain in the matter of regular at- tendance. Last year 566 half days' absence were recorded against these schools; this year 504 is the limit, and there has been a better record in the matter of punctuality. The statistics of 1894-95 presented a total of 371 tardy marks, while this year that footing has been reduced to 333, a decrease of 38, which, though small, is in the right direction. The number of dismissals is too great. Habits of punctuality and regular attendance are well worth the effort sometimes necessary to form them. Parents and teachers may feel that they are laying a foundation for future success, when they insist upon a strict observance of these rules. In connection with this matter I would invite the attention of all to the appended list of the names of those who, by their regular attendance and punctuality, have earned this honor. One pupil, Master Frederick A. Snow, is deserving of especial mention.
During the year just past, there have been some changes which we believe are improvements. There has also been much earnest work on the general lines indicated in the last report.
One important change in text books has been made. The old Appleton Geography has been superseded by the Frye Geogra- phy. The discarded books were well worn, and it became a question of replacing them from the same series, or ex- changing them for a more recent publication. Copies of Fiske's United States History and of an Arithmetic by Prince have been provided. Apparatus for the teaching of physics, and a few books for general use, have been furnished the High School.
Among the things taught in our schools, letter-writing and mental arithmetic are given prominence. In the first, the sub- stance as well as the form is emphasized, thus giving drill in the correct expression of thought; in the second, various methods
II
are followed-appealing to the ear by oral examples, and to the eye from the written problem. Quick mechanical work to give facility and careful analysis to ascertain the why, are required. Careful outlines to guide in the study of geography and history have been prepared.
Geography requires a wide treatment, wholly different from the old question and answer method, and teachers are now pre- paring themselves to give this important subject its proper pre- sentation. The earth, as the home of man, is what the child is to be trained to observe and love, and we begin with the little fellow in his first year at school by adding to the knowledge he already possesses and by training him to observe more closely the world of nature around him, and leading him to imagine the wider world which lies beyond his vision.
It is proposed to change the teaching in the lower grades from the slant to the vertical style of penmanship. This will re- duce the perplexities of the teacher, as the vertical script is much simpler and more natural for the child. There are no poor writ- ers in the vertical script. The upright, front position required is not detrimental to health, nor does it interfere with symmetri- cal growth.
The whole-souled teaching of the history of our beloved land will do much towards awakening an interest in the welfare of its government and the perpetuity of its noble institutions. This should be followed by the civil government, political economy, general history and English literature of the High School pro- gram. Would not such a training foster love of country and tend to develop that crowning product of the public school-the good citizen? But whatever the facilities or equipment a school may have at its disposal, all are of no avail if the teacher be incompe- tent. The most direct way to increase the power and efficiency of the schools is by improving the teaching.
I think it is true that the town has at present some excellent teachers. They are marked by ability, education and experience, and the faithful work they are doing, in drilling their pupils upon the essentials of the "three R's," is only exceeded in value by the habits of industry, thoughtfulness and courtesy which the children are acquiring. The example of such teachers is an inspiration towards the formation of strong character.
Teachers' meetings have been held monthly. At these meet- ings the teachers and the superintendent study and discuss prin- ciples of education, and the superintendent advises and directs in regard to school work. A teachers' institute including the teach- ers of the three towns comprising the district, was held in Hope- dale, May 22 and another in Mendon, Nov. 7. The programs consisted of papers and exercises from the teachers and of ad- dresses from several leading educators. These meetings are open
I2
to any one, and parents and friends of education are cordially invited to attend any or all of them.
The High School year has been again extended to include thirty-six weeks. This gives time to do more for the pupils, and the course has been modified to accord with the changed time. An outline of the course of study is appended. A large class is fitting, in the various schools, to enter the High School next September. The membership for the coming year will probably be double that for the past year.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
A report of the schools which did not frankly state the needs of the schools would be incomplete.
First : I would recommend a larger appropriation to enable the committee, without reducing the salaries of our teachers, to extend the general school year from thirty-two to thirty-six weeks. It would be better if the children were in school a part of the time now included in the long vacation following the winter term. A good teacher for a short year is preferable to a poor teacher for a long year, and as good teachers can rarely be obtain- ed, and never kept, at low wages, it is necessary with the present resources at their command for the committee to continue the short school year.
Second : I would recommend that the policy of the com- mittee in gradually supplying slate boards for the schools be con- tinued, and that the West school and Grammar school be next in order.
Third : The greatest need of the Mendon schools at present is a suitable building at the center. It is not necessary for me to say that the present building was never designed for school pur- poses, and is entirely unfitted for school use. The primary room is the most unfortunate. It is dark, small, draughty and so impos- sible to ventilate that the air is always impure.
Those who have attended or taught the High school, realize the endless annoyance and vexation attendant upon the use of the room for other than school purposes. The constant packing and unpacking of books and apparatus, and the impossibility of suita- ble seats and desks, render the work more difficult than it should be, to say nothing of the associations of the room with every passing show.
I recommend that the town build a four-room school build- ing in the center of the town.
Respectfully submitted, ELMER E. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Schools.

In addition to the above named teachers, Miss Katherine E. Evans taught the North school two terms and substituted for Miss Dudley in the Primary during the winter term. Miss Ger- trude F. Brown substituted for Miss Dudley during the fall term. The fall term of the High school was begun by Miss Eulalia B. Gardner, but, to the regret of all, failing health obliged her to relinquish her work early in the term.
