CLASS SONG.
BY IRENE PHILLIPS. Swiftly o'er the waters gay, Down the sparkling river, Through the dark and light, our bark Speeds like arrow on its way, Loosened from the quiver. Sunny skies and fair winds tell Of no distant sad farewell. .
From the past come mem'ries sweet, Dreams of varied pleasure, Pilots' cheer in echoes dear, Songs that seem our hearts to greet In the old-time measure. Let their notes the music swell, As we sing our last farewell.
Nearing now life's broader sea, Each a new course chooses ; Forth we launch, with courage staunch, Asking that our Captain be He who none refuses. Mem'ry still of joys shall tell, Clust'ring round this last farewell.

CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 29.
From the Grammar Schools there were admitted to the High School in July, on their rank of 75 per cent., 64; on examina- tion in July, 50; recommended for reexamination in September, 32. Of these 18 were admitted at the latter examination. Be- sides these, a few pupils, who have from time to time during the year, moved into the city, have been admitted, on a special ex- amination, to the class for which they were fitted.
THE SEWING SCHOOL,
to which reference was made in the last report, closed in the month of May. It opened Dec. 6, 1873, with eight children and four teachers ; it closed with 117 children and 17 teachers. The number of different children in attendance was 147 ; pres- ent the last day 113. The garments made and donated to the little makers numbered 316. The cost of material was $113.04, all but $25.00 of which was contributed by benevolent persons. The teaching was voluntary and reflects great credit upon those who engaged in it. A similar school has been opened the pres- ent season.
THE COURSE OF STUDY
in the ninth and lower grades is in process of revision. In language especially, and in the other studies, an attempt has been made to secure a better knowledge of the subject and less of the mere text-book. For English grammar, we want a knowledge of the use and the power of the language ; for rules and routine, explanations of processes in arithmetic, a knowledge of the how and the why in computing by numbers ; in geogra- phy, less names of foreign and unfrequented coasts and rivers, less stereotyped answers to unvarying questions, and more knowledge of the earth; in history, less cramming of facts, real or supposed, and more comprehensive views of causes and their effects and the gradual growth and improvement, the real progress of the race. The modifications in this course of study
'85
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
have been made in part with the above aim, and in part to pro- duce uniformity as far as possible in schools of the same grade, so that each teacher may be able to test, each half-term, by a uniform written examination the relative progress of his class. It is now in the hands of the teachers and subject to revision. When completed it will take the place of the monthly assign- inent of work and, it is believed, accomplish the same results. In these assignments there appeared one serious drawback. In spite of all that could be said to the contrary, it seemed inevi- table that the pupils should become anxious about them ; and the teachers would in numerous instances spend many hours which ought to be devoted to rest, in figuring the results. To prevent this in future, it is proposed that no per cents shall be estimated of the results of the examinations, and no comparisons made, except in the case of scholars who need the stimulus which this showing might afford ; a class the last to be affected by the influence of this stimulus as ordinarily applied. If now it be asked what then is the benefit to be derived from the ex- amination ? the answer is first, the same as in any recitation but to a larger extent ; second, to affect the very class just referred to ; and third, to inform the teacher what the pupils are able to accomplish in this direction, and to inform the pupils them- selves ; and also to indicate in a general way, and that only, the relative standing of the schools, and to furnish the teacher a text in every study for the better instruction of each individual pupil.
CHANGE IN THE RULES.
The following sections have been added to the rules :
CHAP. V.
SEC. 5. For assistants in all grades below the High School, there shall be regular minimum, medium and maximum salaries of $500, $550 and $650 respectively. Teachers on trial shall be paid at the rate of $400 or $450 per annum, at the discretion of the Committee on Teachers. Graduates of the Worcester Training School or any of the Massachusetts State Normal Schools, and teachers who have had two or more years' successful experience in teach- ing in good schools, may begin with the regular salary, or they may be placed on trial at the discretion of the Committee on Teachers .*
* For maximum salary see Chap. III., Sec 4.
86
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 29.
SEC. 6. The salary of no teacher shall be raised from the minimum to the medium before he has served one year, and only upon the recommendation of the Committee on Teachers.
CHAP. III.
SEC. 4. THE COMMITTEE ON TEACHERS shall examine such candidates for places of teachers as are presented by the Superintendent or some member of the Board, and give certificates to those who are found qualified.
1. It shall be the duty of this Committee to inspect the qualifications of any teacher, whose name shall first be placed on a record kept for the purpose, either upon their own motion, or at the request of the Visiting Committee, in respect to the following particulars :-
First. Successful experience as mentioned in Chap. V., Secs. 5 and 6.
Second. Scholarship and habits of reading, study and self-improvement.
Third. Ability to interest and instruct pupils.
Fourth. Executive tact; including capacity for disciplining a school, not only thoroughly but easily.
Fifth. Health.
2. This inspection shall continue through a period of six months, and the result shall be entered upon the records of this committee. A report shall also be made, signed by not less than four members of the committee, certify- ing that they have personally examined the school and the work of the teacher, twice at least during this time ; that he is superior in each of the qualifications specified above, and that they recommend him for the maximum salary estab- lished by Chap. V. This report shall be made at a regular meeting of the Board and placed on file. If a second report of similar character, and after like inspection, shall be made to the Board at least six months after the date of the first, the salary may be raised to the maximum. In special cases, on the recommendation of this committee, the maximum salary may be dated back not more than six months.
These changes were made in the belief that poor teachers are overpaid at any price ; that good teachers are not be paid enough ; and that the best service is no less valuable in one grade than in another. To stay in a Primary School is easier than to spend the time among older pupils, who are bolder in their practical rebuke of incompetency ; but to lead the youngest pupils in the best way, requires, if possible, more skill than to aid those who are better able to help themselves.
SELF REPORTING.
This practice for pupils, is open to grave objections. It inevitably leads to deception and fraud. At best it is only the
87
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
.
casting upon scholars of a duty that belongs to teachers - the business of knowing what goes on in the school room. The true secret of all discipline is, to keep children so cheerful, and so interested and occupied with study, as to leave no room for play.
The following action has never been rescinded ; its requirement should not, therefore, be disregarded :-
OFFICE OF SUP'T OF PUB. SCHOOLS, Worcester, Feb. 7, 1865.
In the School Board, April 5, 1864, it was voted: "That the practice of SELF-REPORTING as at present in use in our Public Schools be discontinued."
In the School Board, February 5, 1865, it was voted : " That the Superintend- ent be instructed to cause the above vote of the Board on SELF-REPORTING to be printed, and a copy of the same to be sent to every Teacher in the Public Schools in this City, instructing them that its terms must be strictly complied with."
NOBLE EXAMPLES.
Within the year two eminent citizens of Massachusetts have passed away, whose example-each unsurpassed in his sphere- is worthy to be held up for the admiration of the young : Charles Sumner, the incorruptible statesman, and Louis Agassiz, the untiring investigator and teacher.
On the 16th of March, between the hours of three and four in the afternoon, during the obsequies of Mr. Sumner in Bos- ton, the ordinary exercises of all our schools were suspended, and the time, or some portion of it, was spent by the teacher of each school in setting forth, according to the capacity of the pupils, the life and public services, and the noble character of the great Senator.
Later in the Spring, by permission of the School Board, at the suggestion of the Treasurer of the Teachers and Pupils' Fund for the Agassiz Memorial, the labors and the enthusiasm of this great naturalist and teacher were described to the chil- dren, and an interest in the objects that he loved and studied was awakened in them. Penny contributions, or very small sums, were received from a large number of pupils, amounting to $87.23. The High School, by an exhibition, raised $85.25 for the same purpose.
88
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 29.
The amount contributed throughout the country, previous to Dec. 12, 1874, was $9,192.74 ; and the number of contributors is estimated at 86,696. The number of contributors is more interesting than the amount contributed, for it in some degree indicates the extent of the influence of Agassiz. We are taught more by example than by precept; scholarship and in- tegrity are often - perhaps oftenest - developed by seeing, ad- miring and imitating these qualities in the great and the good. Teachers cannot too often refer children to such examples.
IN CLOSING
this hasty and imperfect report, it seems to me fitting to refer again to the constantly changing conditions of the society and the age in which we live; conditions by which not only schools but all other human institutions are compelled to undergo fre- quent modifications, in order to adapt themselves to the present. We sometimes meet with those who would apply the same measure to the conduct and the progress of a school-boy in the Worcester of to-day, which they made use of fifty years ago. We who are engaged in training the youth of this city, have before us, however, a very different problem from that which was presented to the Bancrofts, the Burnsides, the Fosters and the Goings, fifty years ago. Then, that first locomotive whose com- ing and going was announced by the little bell in the tower, and whose trips were delayed by a slight fall of snow, had not come into the Foster street station from Boston. The boy of that day listened to the stage horn instead of the steam whistle. There was for him less bustle, less stir and busy hum of machinery - no daily papers thick as leaves in Vallombrosa, no nervous click of the telegraph, the symbol of a restless, pulsating life. He had more leisure, more time for thought ; he could study individual men more ; he saw masses of men less. The great forces of nature had net then been harnessed so much as they now have, to move in smoothly gliding courses or with noisy ponderous wheels, and s em almost instinct with life and thought. A man was less like a machine, and a machine less
89
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
like a man. It is true that human nature was the same then as now; truth, no doubt, is unchanging through all the years ; and the power of steam and electricity are the same as when Abra- ham baked his unleavened bread in front of his tent, or the Egyptian, on the Banks of the Nile, wondered at the lightning, thousands of years before.
But we have a very different conception of the steam and the lightning from that of these ancient men; truth, though un- changing, is viewed with different eyes as age by age augments the experience of the race, and thus it lives in perpetual youth ; and human nature develops into different forms and exhibits itself in different phases under the changed conditions of mod- ern life. Whether this busy, tecming life, this hurry and bustle, is a real improvement upon the past, is not a question of prac- tical concern ; for the nineteenth century is here for better or for worse, and it will not go back.
More than the half of human knowledge and human skill, seen in this last quarter of the century, was wholly unknown and had not been thought of in the first quarter. How this changed condition affects the higher institutions of learning is seen in the excellent address of Rev. Dr. Peabody, before the National Educational Association at Detroit. He says :
"Fifty years ago the curriculum of a liberal education could be easily de- fined. The branches embraced in it were few, and were nearly or quite the same in all our higher seminaries of learning ; and the only difference between different colleges was that of more or less in the same departments. The man who graduated with fair standing in his class, was conscious of no glaring deficiencies, easily passed in all circles as a highly educated man, and could readily bring himself into gearing with any post-graduate course of study he might elect.
The case is now very different. It is not too much to say that the amount of study that comes within the scope of the under-graduate curriculum has been quadrupled. The French and the German are essential parts even of a good school education. Physics and the natural sciences have so grown that each department claims of the mere novice more. time and labor than they all demanded half a century ago. Philosophy in all departments, if it has gained no added certainty in its conclusions, has covered a largely extended territory with theories that have their important place in intellectual history and in their influence on current opinion. The Latin and the Greek claim of those who would be proficients or teachers a very large amount of minute analyti- cal study ; for he is now but a mere smatterer who is not learned in roots and
13
90
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 29.
norms, Sanscrit derivations and Pan-Aryan analogies, no breath of which stirred the still waters in the class-room of the last generation In fine, there is no department in which one can be deemed a proficient in the sense in which every respectable graduate half a century ago was regarded as a pro- ficient, without an amount of study and discipline necessarily occupying a period of time beyond all proportion exceeding its former place in the college course. Meanwhile, there are various post-graduate courses of study and modes of life on which one enters at a disadvantage, unless he has had some special collegiate preparation. Now it is the higher mathematics, now chem- istry, now political history or science, now physiology, not infrequently one or more of the modern languages, in which one needs to be peculiarly well versed in order to fall into line with those whose preparation has been pursued outside of college walls."
The same causes, it cannot be doubted, affect all grades of our schools. In a brief school-time, which year by year grows shorter ; in the midst of a hurry of business, a hurry of men and a hurry of everything, which day by day becomes more intense ; with the almost limitless horizon of knowledge and of thought constantly extending itself in all directions; and with a con- stantly rising standard of general intelligence and education
which every one must reach who does not wish to occupy a position relatively lower-these are some of the conditions under which the education of to-day must be carried on; and how to modify from time to time, and organize our schools so that they may accomplish for each pupil the best that is possible for him, is a problem, ladies and gentlemen, fit to task the wisest thought.
For the uniform courtesy extended to me by each of you, and for the co-operation of teachers in every respect, as well as for the moral support received from citizens generally in the endeavor to discharge my official duty, I desire to return hearty thanks.
