There is no force in the objection to this plan, that it makes more work for the teacher. Every good teacher is on the qui vive every minute of the session. If a single class is easier for her, she is not doing what is expected.
Schools with two classes, as experience shows, do quite as well as other schools with one. It is an exceedingly difficult task to thoroughly handle a class of forty or fifty pupils at once. Half that number can be kept in hand. In the Primary Schools the best results in many subjects-not in all-are se- cured by taking the pupils in sections of ten or twelve. The same practice may sometimes be adopted, profitably, in the Grammar Schools.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The present school was established in 1845. It was the suc- cessor of the Latin Grammar School of a much earlier day. There has been no time when the proposition to abolish the High School in this city has been seriously thought of. Such a proposition has been discussed of late years elsewhere, and it has found a feeble echo here. That discussion has led to a move in the legislature, two successive years, for the abolition
183
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
of these schools throughout the State. This movement has de- monstrated, as nothing else could, the strong hold which this class of schools has upon the people of the State. In a neigh- boring State the executive, for two or three years in his inaug- urals, berated high school education as robbery of the people. His words, from that exalted position, were signally abortive. They found no response except from the political shysters or niggardly rich men, who launched them, for political effect, in a time of great business depression ; its last feeble echo came from the Fustian Governor of Maine. No part of the common school system is more firmly established than its High Schools.
For the greatest efficiency, this school needs only permanency in its administration. Attention is again called to the fact that for sixteen years no principal has seen a class through the course. A radical change is demanded right here.
As exhibiting the democratic, the popular, character of the school, the statistics showing the occupation of the parents and their relative amount of wealth were published one year ago. Every class of our population is represented in that school, and in the same proportions as on Main Street.
The benefits of the school are by no means confined to those who graduate ; nor are they confined to the pupils in the school, for all the schools below feel its influence.
In a four years' course, and with so many pupils, it is to be expected that a considerable' number will drop out, from one cause or another, during the year. Within the year and a half ending January 1, 1880, one hundred and thirty-nine have so dropped out. The number of graduates is not included. The causes of leaving, so far as ascertained, are as follows :
To work -in callings as various as those of men -nearly all boys, 64
From ill health, weak eyes, &c. - mostly girls, 28 To enter other schools, 34

Old Father Time forever turns his glass, How swift the shining, golden sands do run. Four years, old Time his faithful work has done, Since first this pleasant home received our class.
And hoary Time will turn his glass for aye, Though now the hour has come for us to part: Though, fondly clinging every heart to heart. To-night, at last, we all must say, "good-bye."
O, fates, for us a happy future tell, As like the joyous past as e'er you may ! O, grant us friends as faithful, too, as they From whom, to-night, we take a fond farewell!

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The healthful influence of this institution upon our schools, both directly and indirectly, has been pointed out in former reports. That influence extends to all the schools of the county. It improves and grows with each advancing year. Though this is a state school, the city has a direct pecuniary interest in it. A large sum of money was appropriated by the city for its establishment.
PRACTICAL BENEVOLENCE.
One year ago the yellow fever raged in the South. The sympathies of the school children followed those of older people. A five-cent contribution was started in the schools, from which the sum of $241.25 was realized for the sufferers. In this good work some .4,825 children must have engaged. This circumstance is worthy of mention here; for it shows that the public schools tend to make not merely scholars, but public spirited men and women.
FOOD FOR REFLECTION.
Public schools were primarily established in this Common- wealth, "That learning may not be buried in the graves of our fathers." In the course of years the object came to be to prepare the young for the duties of citizenship in a free republic. Of necessity this preparation is not strictly defined. Unques- tionably it includes a fair amount of intelligence and the ability to read and write English with facility; and of necessity this cannot be secured to all, without provision for the higher education which so influences the lower. Of late, there is a strong tendency to hold the public schools responsible for every evil in society. The crime that prevails, is attributed to defective education. If a man is too indolent to prosper, the public schools are blamed. Even depression in business has been attributed to the want of industrial education in "our schools." The newspaper files show that at some time and by some persons, nearly every ill that flesh is heir to, from a badly
188
CITY DOCUMENT .- NO. 34.
cooked dinner to disease and death, has been laid at the door of public schools.
As a consequence, it has been proposed at one time or another within the past few years. to attach to the public schools almost every kind of training that men need in the various walks of life. Gardening, farming, printing, trades of all kinds, sewing, knitting, cooking, dressmaking, housekeeping, and what not,-as a sort of "annex " to the public schools-all have their advocates.
It is time to recognize the fact that specific duties belong to these schools ; and that not everything can be expected of them. Divine Providence has assigned to man the period of about three score years and ten, for development and activity. It is useless to attempt to accomplish all this "between the ages of five and fifteen." Intellectual training being the main purpose of the schools, they incidentally accomplish a great deal more- in morals and manners, in industry and habits of self-control, and in all that goes to make up the good citizen. But for the main purpose only can the schools be held accountable. Other agencies principally control those other important interests. The family is an institution older and more potent in its sphere than the school could be or should be. Where its influence is positive and good, the interference of the school might even be resented. The church is an institution of powerful influence. Society as it exists has an influence upon the children in school which can not be ignored, and which can be but partially corrected, when it is bad. The press is another mighty power which moulds society and influences schools. Public schools, valuable as they are, can never assume the functions of Omnipotence, nor can they be held to so grave a responsibility.
They do not and they should not pretend to fully prepare boys and girls for active business ; they assume only to aid them the better to help themselves. A High school training, among other things, helps a boy to enter college and professional life, if he has the energy and the ability to advance so far; but it can give no assurance of success. If a hard-working parent vainly imagines that such a training will enable his child to get a living without work, and the boy having no talent acts upon
189
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
this assumption, failure will follow. No law can prevent people from making such a mistake; they must learn from experience and observation, as they learn to avoid other follies.
Too much is expected of schools and of school children. There is no limit to what children under fourteen years of age do not know. A scholarly man after twenty years of pro- fessional life forgets the boy he was at fifteen. The prosperous business man, after thirty years, forgets the short steps of early days, not having been through a High school or a college, he thinks that those superior advantages should place the graduate on a par with himself. Nothing of the sort is done or attempted.
There is a pernicious tendency at present, to eliminate from the schools everything that is hard or disagreeable. Too much study is said to be the cause of more sickness than all other causes combined. Nine-tenths of the sickness attributed to school, might probably be traced to other causes with equal certainty, to say the least. Oral teaching, if carried on by a spirited teacher, is always interesting. The product of such teaching in the minds of the children - the precipitate, so to speak-is often wanting. It may be carried so far as to relieve the child from all effort. Let the road to knowledge be so smoothed and polished that children can glide over it without any exertion on their part, and we produce a generation of namby-pamby, wishy-washy imbeciles, or at best, feeble minds and timid spirits, fit for translation to some genial sphere, per- haps, but not prepared to battle with the world.
Not the least valuable aim of school should be to develop intellectual fibre ; to throw the pupil on his own resources; to impress upon him the necessity for labor ; and to open up to him the satisfaction there is in acquiring for himself. Nothing valuable comes to any of us without work. All that we get in any other way is stolen-by whatever name we call it.
Time is a factor in education. It is impossible to accomplish in a given time at one period of the child's life, what can easily be done later.
The mind needs time for its development. The school age has been steadily diminished. There was a time when boys were boys till they were twenty-one. They left school at that
190
CITY DOCUMENT .- NO. 34.
age, and before that time they only attended school a part of the year, giving opportunity for their minds to assimilate that which they acquired. The majority of children now leave school at the age of fifteen. They are not sufficiently mature to appre- hend the principles which they are taught. They have not time to assimilate what they get. This state of things seems unavoidable-it inheres in the century. How best to adapt the schools to the necessities of the case, and among the adverse influences to secure the best results for each and for all-this is the problem that confronts the school committee. Its solution is not so easy as those unfamiliar with the difficulties may imagine. The tyro and the educational tramp has a ready nostrum for every evil. The experienced are more modest in announcing infallible cures.
