esting events of the day. Very likely. The same may be said of men and women. It is astonishing to discover how many things there are which peo- ple do not know. This state of things, however, is neither peculiar to our schools, nor in so far as it exists in them can it properly be charged to a sys- tem hardly introduced. The fact is, that the oral teaching which the system compels, and the stated examinations, varied for the purpose, are designed to correct this very defect.


Several other points in the opinion, insufficient compensation, the need of rest, extra pay for extra work, the dressmaker question, etc., need not be noticed here as they do not relate particularly to the question under considera- tion, whatever weight there may be in them.


This subject has been dwelt upon thus at length that you may take occasion to observe the plan in your visits to the schools; for its practical working and the results which it will produce upon a fair trial, are the real test of its value ; and if not beneficial it must subside.


Only three of these examinations have thus far been held. Some defects in the course of study, and in the grading of our schools, have been exposed ; and some excellent work, by both teachers in handling their subjects, and pupils in writing their papers, have also been brought to notice. Up to this time the experiment has more than justified itself. How long it shall con- tinue, must be decided by future experience.


THE MUSICAL EXHIBITIONS.


These took place in High School Hall about the middle of June. The first afternoon was devoted to Grade III .; the second to Grades IV. and V. ; the third to Grades VI. and VII. ; the fourth to Grades VIII. and IX. The attendance was 750, 1,100, 800 and 750, respectively.


It is evidence of careful drill that so many children from op- posite quarters of the city, could sing together for the first time so harmoniously. The good order and quiet manners of so many children was not less attractive than the music, and elicited commendation from all present. Few adult audiences appear so well as did those children. Good singing and good scholarship could be inferred from their conduct. The strange thing about the exhibition was that only a few spectators were present. No music from Theodore Thomas's most perfect orchestra, has power to thrill one like the voices of these thousand children, each voice the centre of untold hopes.

VIENNA EXPOSITION.


In common with other cities of the country Worcester was invited to have her schools represented at Vienna. Owing to some delay in the notice, nearly all the towns and cities of the State were unable to exhibit their school system. Boston as the metropolis, Newton as the representative of the larger towns, and Worcester, of cities of the second class, sent samples to the exhibition. Ours consisted of a large printed Chart, showing statistics of population, valuation, school attendance, etc .; the grades and sub-grades of schools, topics of instruction for each grade, number of schools ; teachers, male and female, and their salaries ; pupils, male and female, and their average age for each grade; and facts about the other educational and benevolent institutions of the city :- A Photographic Album showing the exterior of twelve or fifteen school-houses, and their interior ar- rangement, and all the other institutions of learning about the city, including the Free Public Library and the Antiquarian Hall ; with these was a brief description of each :- And lastly eight volumes of catalogues and pamphlets relating to education in the city.


This representation was noticed in the following from Hon. John D. Philbrick, Commissioner for Massachusetts :-


" I am happy to inform you that on the 18th inst. the city of Worcester will appear in the list of honors published to the world, as worthy of the Diploma of Merit. This you have reason to be proud of, when you consider the fact, known to the Jury, and which I now make known to you, that many towns in Europe sent excellent scholars' work and other things for which they received no mention."


The volumes and the Chart have been presented to the Royal Museum of Educational apparatus, etc. at Vienna. Duplicates have also been furnished for the Department of Education at Washington, and the Free Public Library and Antiquarian Library of this city.


TEXT BOOKS.


We have long followed the wise policy of making few changes in books. With a good teacher the particular book is of less


86


CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 28.


importance than some would have us think. The best teacher hardly needs a book, and the poor teacher can hardly use one. The kind of teaching, not the kind of book, is the main thing. The following books have been adopted :- Mason's First, Second, Third and Fourth Music Readers ; Smith's Drawing Books with the Manual for each house ; for the High School Freeman's Out- line of History, Mrs. Fawcett's Political Economy, Alden's Governmental Instructor, Guyot's Physical Geography, and several French reading books ; Zell's Cyclopædia for East Wor- cester and Salem street ; Prang's Natural History Chromos and the Analytical Speller for several Primary Schools ; and for teachers' desks, Wentworth's Arithmetical Problems, Hagar's Arithmetic, Swinton's Language Lessons, Gow's Manual of Morals and Manners, Proceedings of the National Educational Association for 1872 ; Camp's Outline Maps have been authorized.


A Piano Forte has been placed in the Thomas Street School ; and there are musical instruments in each Suburban School except Tatnuck, Adams Square, Leesville and Valley Falls. In these schools the board will pay $25.00 for this purpose if the school provide the rest. No instrument is to be removed to another building without the consent of the board.


OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.


As stated on a former occasion, no account of the public schools is complete without some allusion to the other institutions, so numerous in this city, by which these schools are supple- mented and public education advanced.


The Technical School furnishes advanced scientific education to pupils from the High School. It is now pretty well under- stood that thorough preparation is necessary for those who wish to enjoy the superior advantages of this school. Pupils in all the schools are therefore stimulated by what is to be done there.


The Holy Cross College, with its traditional curriculum and scholarly professors, has a similarly desirable influence upon those in our schools who aspire to enter it.


The State Normal School, to be opened in September, should


87


SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


awaken the ambition of all who propose to teach. Right teach- ing is a science to be learned, and for the quick and effective mastery of which both study and practice are required. The idea that mere learning makes a teacher, that one who has only studied any subject is competent to give instruction, that one who has learned something about Arithmetic is fully prepared to teach it, will never be wholly uprooted from the public mind, till a class of children grow up who have seen the practical dif- ference between teachers who know how, and those who do not know how to teach.


The Worcester Academy, now well endowed, well taught and well patronized, furnishes excellent facilities for learning the classics and for all sound secondary instruction, to pupils of both sexes, who from any cause can not pass through the public schools. It is patronized largely by other towns.


The Highland Military Academy, though receiving compara- tively few of its pupils from this city, aids our schools by the influence of its highly cultivated professors, and its example of thorough drill, both mental and military.


The Oread Collegiate Institute, a seminary of high character for young ladies, benefits us in a similar way.


Besides these, there are several private schools of various sorts. In the best of these, parents who wish a special kind of education for their children, or who wish to avoid the strictness and the regularity that Public Schools are obliged to adopt, may satisfy themselves. And even a poor private school indirectly does this good : that it pacifies those few parents who are not able to appreciate good discipline and good schools ; and it does something for its pupils.


The statute which requires every person having the care of children to send them to some public day school at least twenty weeks a year, excepts those who send their children to a private day school which is approved by the school committee. Each private school should therefore be required to obtain a certificate of approval from the committee ; otherwise those who patronize it do not comply with the law.


The Free Public Library is a school of the most valuable kind.


88


CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 28.


The present librarian has taken great pains to interest school children in reading those books that are within their comprehen- sion, and in furnishing books for the older pupils and for the teachers. As a perpetual school for men and women, for which all pupils in the public schools ought to be preparing, the library is to carry on the work which the schools begin.


The Library of the American Antiquarian Society is a sort of High School of similar character.


The Lyceum and Natural History Society is a sort of scien- tific school. Its cabinet of specimens from the animal, the vegetable, and the mineral kingdoms of nature are the books ; and I am glad that several teachers have taken their pupils to the rooms, in order to interest them in the study of natural objects. There is many a smart boy who does not take to books. Before this child is dubbed a dunce, let us see if here are not the books that he will like to read. Possibly we may discover in him an Agassiz. It will pay to fail in a thousand attempts, if we find him at the last.


The Mechanics Association is another school. By its lectures each year, by its apprentices' class in drawing, of which mention was made in the State Exhibition, and by its library, this society is doing for its members what the schools attempt for our citizens. Its classes in drawing were the first established in the city ; and few in the State began earlier.


The Worcester County Musical Association, whose annual meetings in this city in the month of October have become one of the most pleasing festivals of the year, is a school. The edu- cation of the public taste, so that the higher styles of music are better appreciated from year to year, is traceable to the efforts of this society even within the last half a dozen years; and the good influence of music in society, is no more to be questioned than the necessity for a knowledge of arithmetic.


To all these societies and institutions, and to several others of a similar character not specially named, we extend the right hand of fellowship as to co-workers in the same good cause.

FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE.


More than two-and-a-half centuries ago, the foundations of democratic institutions and free schools were laid within the bor ders of this commonwealth. The feeble colonies grew to a great nation ; and democracy spread itself from sea to sea. Then there came a contest, when free government was put on trial ; for within itself, the country contained elements hostile to its principles. The fight for existence is ended. The republic is firmly established.


Free schools have been sustained through all these years. From time to time the system has been modified to adapt it to constantly changing conditions. It has extended itself over the continent ; and has met with no opposition. There are forces hostile to these schools, such as the power of wealth, caste, and sectarian zeal. Like free government then, free public schools may expect a contest, not bloody indeed, but not less real, in which their permanency shall be fixed. To such a contest, inevi- table though it be, there can be but one issue. When this fight for existence comes, as it does for once, and once only to every institution that is worth saving, the friends of popular education must be prepared to array all their forces in the war of words, and, with a free republic, to wed forever and indissolubly, free public schools.


BEST RESULTS IMPONDERABLE.


In order to obtain facts about schools, so as to locate any evil tendency, statistics of attendance, age, regularity, etc., are re- quired ; and for the sake of stimulating the ambition of pupils, their scholarship is marked, and comparisons are made between different schools, and between individual scholars. In estimat- ing the real value of a school, however, these statistics alone are not reliable. Great emphasis is apt to be placed upon the par- ticular studies in which the test is to be applied, and if there is to be no examination in reading, for instance, that subject may be neglected. Moreover, a stimulus of this kind generally affects principally those who least need it, and very slightly


90


CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 28.


those who need it most. These statistics are valuable ; but in the attempt to make a good showing there is great danger that the scholars may suffer. In every school, some are at the foot of the class ; to get these out of the way will greatly raise the standard of scholarship; they are a drag on the class, it is always easy to say. Send them away, and there is still an infe- rior few; and before anything like perfect scholarship is at- tained, these must be sent down ; a still higher standard forces still others back, and so on as long as people will stand it. By such a process we may secure a splendid school ; but, gentle- men, what has become of the pupils? A large part have been crowded out, and the glib reciters of lessons, the intellectual meteors, not necessarily the best minds, remain. Now, that is the best school which does the best for each boy and makes the most of him. A dull scholar, one who can not easily perform the given task, has the same right to a good education that the quicker pupil has ; and he ought to receive more atten- tion. The teacher who aims at this, may suffer in his percentages but he does the best work ; and the results will be seen only in the future of the boy-too far off to parade at a public exami- nation. This faithful work on growing human characters, this careful study of each scholar, in the firm faith that there is in him a great capacity to be developed, accomplishes a good that cannot be estimated in "standing," or weighed by any fixed scale. And yet it is the kind of work we ought chiefly to do.


SHAM.


One most important thing for a child to learn is, that he should never attempt to act out another person. He is to make of himself, and do for himself, the best he can ; but nobody else is to be just like him, and he is not to be just like anybody else. Yet how common it is to see children act a part ! They have examples enough, for the bad practice is everywhere. Many who preach temperance drink wine; some advocates of woman's rights abuse their wives ; pious pretenders commit crimes and blind the eyes of good people by public prayers. They should have no examples in schools. But if anything is


91


SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


done for mere appearance, and if lessons, programmes and recitations are modified with reference to the display before visitors, children learn the lesson of show and sham, and grow up little hypocrites. They ought always to learn to be honest with themselves ; then we should see fewer attempts to palm off words in recitations instead of sense, and pupils would not so much fear to say " I do not know."


O, that the simplicity and truth of young children could stay with them, and never give place, as it so often does, to duplicity, pretence and sham ! Towards this the schools are laboring and should ever strive.


LASTLY.


Another year has gone, and with much that has been attempted and much accomplished, more is seen that needs to be done ; for good schools do not remain good unless they grow better. To their constant improvement let us address ourselves earnestly.


For the pleasant relations towards myself of every member of this board, for the earnest cooperation and support of teachers, and for the good spirit of children and parents, I have to thank you each, gentlemen, and them all.


Respectfully submitted.

CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 28.


The auditor's statement gives $1327 45 more than the foregoing, as the expenditures for the year. This is accounted for by the fact that that amount of bills were passed by this department and entered on our books as expenditures of 1872, but were not passed by the auditor until the last year, 1873.


The expenditure for fuel the past year has been unusually large, both on account of the severity of the last winter, and the continued cold weather in the Spring, requiring the additional purchase of $2,308.00 worth of fuel after the winter supply be- came exhausted, and also from the fact that twenty-five per cent. was added to the supply for this year.


The terms of the coal contract for this year were changed, requiring all the coal to be delivered previous to Sept. 1st, and the contract closed at that time. By this arrangement 20 cents per ton was deducted, but some of the coal bins had to be en- larged, especially the one at the High school.
