CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 36.
Jaques was thanked for his donation of one hundred dollars to this fund.
The annual income is expended by the Chairman of the High School Committee and the Principal of the School; and the bills are approved by the Superintendent of Schools.
The influence of these books is not confined to a single class, as was that of the yearly medals; it extends to all classes, so long as the books are preserved. No unhealthy emulation is aroused by these books; and they cause no over-work of brilliant but sickly pupils, as the medals did. The surroundings of the school, the building and the rooms for library and apparatus, have all improved since Mr. Jaques wrote his letter; and the example of this donation of the eminent citizen whom Worcester has always delighted to honor, has been followed in at least one instance since, - in the library given to the New Worcester school.
IN GENERAL.
Among those future citizens whom the teacher has to guide, there is represented a variety in the degree of development; and it is not possible to predict, with certainty, what a child will be, from the character of his parents. The character of school population in general is heterogeneous; and for any rational being to suppose that the product of public-school training is to be uniformly, and without exception, good, is as absurd as to expect that any well regulated clock will strike twelve every time.
The diversity in the children to be taught and led, - and we find the same diversity in society ; - this diversity suggests the real business of schools. It is not at all to stuff, with a given quantity of facts, the youthful mind; it is not mainly for what children learn, that schools are useful; it is for the training, and for the ability to learn, -not for what is learned, -that a school does most good. The product of our schools should not be mere scholars, but good citizens ; and good citizens can not be trained by arithmetic, grammar and geography, only.
The teacher of broad culture and generous heart moulds his pupils, day by day, so far as he is able; but he is not the only
241
SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
force that affects them. Given, a boy of the street, or with vicious parents whose influence is constant, and no teacher can fully withstand it. Six hours a day, more or less regularly, for eight or ten months in a year, the teacher's influence is felt ; all the rest of the time he meets a counter-current. Is it remarkable that he is not, in every case, a saint ?
And, again, is the teacher always competent ? Do we always have thoroughly trained and mature persons for this most important calling, paid as the gravity of their duty requires, and looked up to as the builders of the State ? Do we not, some- times, get cheap teachers, and then keep nagging them because they do not achieve the impossible, and sweep away, at a breath, the adverse effects of generations of neglect and an ever-present tendency to barbarism ?
Though it is not possible, in a course of study, to mark out all which ought to be done in school, to develop character and produce good citizens, what is necessary to be done is always present in the mind of a competent teacher ; and towards this he always aims.
Let every teacher be master of his profession. Let him realize, in himself, the highest ideal of citizenship. Let him be a free man. Then will his pupils be likely to become such high-minded citizens and free men. " Let your boy be taught by your slave," said an old Greek, "and you will then have two slaves instead of one."
