ELEVATING INFLUENCE ON OTHER GRADES.


Besides the value of the High School in furnishing to all classes of the community the best kind of training-so that those whose means would allow them to send their children to the best institutions, find it both agreeable and profitable, in a majority of

instances, to retain them at home; and others enjoy that which otherwise they could not possibly obtain-it has a most important use in its influence upon the lower grades. The character and tone of every school in the city is elevated by this, as a goal to which every pupil may aspire. This important consideration has been set forth at length in a former report and need not be repeated. To give it force


THE CONNECTION MUST BE INTIMATE.


If it comes to be understood that between the grammar school and the high school there is a broad hiatus, a chasm which one- half or even one-third of those who attempt it with the advice of their teachers, fail to pass, a smaller number will come to the verge each year, and fewer still will attempt to cross over In this way the school partially fails to accomplish its mission both in the training of those pupils and in drawing on others through the lower schools. This state of things is inevitable unless the teachers of each school are familiar with the work of the other. In order to render the connection close between this and the grammar schools, and the transit easy, the following rule for pro- motions was adopted and put in practice for the first time this year :-


CHAP. VII. SEC. 4. At the close of the school year there shall be an examination of the scholars of the ninth grade of the grammar schools in the studies of the year-that of each school to be conducted by the teacher of the same-under supervision of the Superintendent and one member of the High School Committee. The three acting together, or a majority of the same, shall sign and give a certificate of graduation to all scholars who pass a satis- factory examination. At the time of such examination, and, in special cases, at other times, scholars other than members of the ninth grade legally entitled to attend school in Worcester, may apply to be examined, and the Superin- tendent shall assign them for examination in all the studies of the grammar schools, to some one of the grammar masters, under the same supervision as aforesaid; and all such scholars passing a satisfactory examination shall receive a certificate of the fact, signed as aforesaid. Holders of either kind of certificates, and no others, shall be admitted to the High School; but applicants for admission to an advanced position in the High School shall · also be examined by the teachers of that school in the studies passed over by the class to which they apply to be admitted.

OBITUARY.


On the 25th of February, 1875, died SAMUEL V. STONE, Secretary of the School Board since January, 1866, and a member of the board for about twenty years. During this long period he was actively identified with the management of the schools, and especially with all their prudential affairs. He was distinguished for fidelity, integrity, impar- tiality and frankness in the discharge of his duties ; and at his death these excellencies were recognized in appropriate resolutions, and his funeral was attended by the board.


Of his associates in office, those who knew him intimately, most highly valued his substantial worth and his undeceptive friendship.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.


The most successful management of a system of schools requires that the various theories concerning the education of children, should be corrected by experience or tested by practice, before they are generally adopted. Many a plan has been invented for improving schools which appeared excellent until it was tried ; and then it failed. A careful study of the records of this board will disclose the fact that several experiments have been tried and abandoned periodically, of course at a great loss. Hence, in order that successive school boards may profit by the experience of their predecessors, it is necessary that the doings of each year should be fully recorded, and that the principles upon which the action was based should be explained.


History repeats itself in other places not less than in school boards ; and the history of schools from the first settlement of the town, if commonly understood, might be useful in many ways. Referring to the early days of the eighteenth century, Lincoln's History of Worcester contains the following :- "A fluc- tuating currency scarcely served for the supply of the necessaries of life. The planters of Worcester, feeling the burden of sus- taining elementary education without immediately realizing the resulting benefits, failed to give practical operation to the en- lightened views of the founders. In this respect they could have shown the example of elder and more wealthy neighbors in ex- tenuation of the negligence." Yielding to despondency, the friends of education allowed their short-sighted opponents to pre- vail ; and in December, 1726, a vote was passed on the question whether the school should be continued, that "ye Town will not have a School-it past in ye Negitive." The following year the town having been "presented" for neglecting the in- struction of youth, 16£. 88. was voted for the support of schools, and 2.£. 88. 6ª., more than one-eighth of that sum, was appropria- ted to defray the cost of the prosecution. This experience seems to have satisfied the inhabitants that the wisest and the most economical plan was to support the schools and to provide a "suitable person to be school master;" and they subsequently took care to comply with the law.


297


SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


A second unsuccessful attempt against the free public schools was directed against the High School, then known by the namne of Grammar School; and "In 1766 the representative at the General Court was instructed to endeavor 'that the law requiring a Latin Grammar School be repealed, and that not more than one such school should be kept in a county ;' and, in 1767, to use his exertions to relieve the people from the great burden of sup- porting so many schools of this description, 'whereby they are prevented from attaining such degree of English learning as is necessary to retain the freedom of any state.' "


At the present day, under a similar depression in business and a somewhat similar fluctuation of the currency, the descendants of those old economists who subjected the town to heavy costs, by their parsimony, have come to light. They attack the High School on a similar pretence ; if they would not abandon public schools as an unnecessary expense, they would so cripple them by insuffi- cient appropriations that "suitable persons" could not be em- ployed for teachers ; and this would amount to the same thing.


To guard against a niggardly policy respecting schools the his- tory of those schools may be useful ; to guard against extrava- gance it may be no less so.


As our forefathers built up a nation in the wilderness and laid the enduring foundations of a government one hundred years ago, and thus earned immortal fame ; so within the limits of this city, the people, one hundred and fifty years ago, inaugurated the custom of maintaining free schools, which has been continued without interruption to the present day ; and about fifty years ago there was a wonderful revival of interest in the subject, led on by such men as Sam'l M. Burnside, A. Bancroft, Levi Lin- coln, Otis Corbett, Jona. Going and Sam'l Jennison, and from this interest grew up our school system in its present form. This system was copied from no other ; it grew up out of the necessi- ties of the case and was directed by the inspiration of genius.


The American system of schools, as at present understood, had been introduced in no place, with the possible exceptions of Providence and Boston, earlier than in this town; and the men who gave it to the country are worthy of our gratitude in this centennial year, not less than the originators of our form

of government. To trace the growth of this system would be both interesting and useful. In an appendix to this report will be found the outline of that history.


It is again my pleasant duty, in closing, to thank you, ladies and gentlemen of this board, and the parents, teachers, and pupils of this city, for the support, the courtesy and kind con- sideration which has rendered it possible for me, even respecta- bly, to perform the delicate and difficult duties of this office.
