REPORT.
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF
WEST CAMBRIDGE.
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1853 - 51.
The worthy Chairman of this Committee, the Rev. Jo- seph Banvard, exchanged his residence for New York seve- ral months ago, leaving extra labor on the hands of those who have remained. It is to some of us matter of regret that we are thus deprived of his judicious observations. But as necessity is laid upon us, we would briefly express our convictions as they occur in the review of the year, in con- nexion with simple statements of fact.
EAST DISTRICT.
This School has remained under the care of Miss Robin- son, of whose success in the same honorable mention was made in last year's Report. We are not aware of any res- pect in which she is deserving of less credit at the present
2
time than then. Rather do we believe that her course has been progressive, carrying her pupils onward in the ele- ments of good learning. If all will aim to have this the constant order of things in that neighborhood, what an eligi- ble position will the school yet attain !
SOUTH DISTRICT.
Both the Schools in this District show the advantage of retaining good teachers in office. We do not hesitate to speak of Miss, Douglass and.Mr. Frost in these commenda- tory terms. They have well sustained their former reputa- tion, and stand high in the esteem of parents and children, as well as of the Committee. The Primary School is a scene of order, and quietness, and industry, which we love to witness. The patient, gentle, yet effective tone and man- ner of the Teacher, controlling as by magic those restless little minds, and inspiring them with the love of study, is what we cannot but appreciate. Thoroughness too is here quite apparent rendering the topics of instruction intelligible. So may it ever be; and long may the school be equally prosperous.
The Grammar School also is characterized by the same general qualities as have distinguished it for successive years. Perhaps the pupils are removed from the School at an earli- er age than heretofore, and that in some cases may detract from the appearance exhibited at an examination ; but the course of instruction is believed to be efficient. It does seem a pity that so much should be lost by the smallness of the School in summer time; yet as the teacher is there, ready to do service in his responsible office, we cannot impute the blame to him. Certainly the Winter term shows him com- petent to manage a large number as well as less ; and it is preferable doubtless to himself to have the number so large as to inspire interest and animation. Let him have the attendance
of as many of his scholars as may be practicable during the year.
NORTH WEST DISTRICT.
The Primary School in this district has been doing well, though it has experienced a change of teachers. Miss Fox resigned her charge in the month of November, and was succeeded by Miss Adeline M. Foster, who has made thus far a very favorable impression. Her skill in imparting in- terest to the exercises of the school-room is somewhat pecu- liar. It reveals itself in various expedients to secure atten- tion, and activity, rather than in resort to stern and impatient compulsory processes. The result has been that the children have improved in learning and good behavior ; their parents have been pleased with this state of progress ; and the Com- mittee have the pleasure of according to it their general commendation.
The Grammar School has been favored. still with the suc- cessful instruction and management of Mr .. Peabody. His course which had an auspicious commencement, has contin- ued to be progressive and prosperous. As a teacher of prin .. ciples, we think he excels. This is apparent in the several recitations, where there is room to show the reasons of things. A mere statement of facts or results, is not all which he requires, but an explanation of the process by which certain truths are reached. Any one visiting the School can see that it is a work of mind and not a mere utterance of words. There is- withal a general culture, mental and moral, not excepting manners, which is deemed very commendable .. A. continu- ance of the older scholars in this school a while longer is very desirable on several accounts, but especially for the sake of their advancement beyond the ordinary point off Grammar-school education.
4
CENTRE DISTRICT.
Both of the schools in this District have suffered in the course of the year certain serious disadvantages. The ne- cessity of exchanging teachers is attended with some una- voidable injuries. This has been so in recent instances. Miss Tucker, the popular teacher of the Primary School, saw fit in the Autumn to resign. The Committee had pre- viously voted her an increase of salary, as much as they supposed their means would allow; but there were reasons why she preferred to leave, and such as we could not con- sistently disapprove. In the circumstances, it was not easy at once to supply the vacancy to universal satisfaction. Af- ter considerable inquiry, however, a Teacher was employed who had abundant testimonials of experience and success. Miss Furber took the School, and was soon after joined by Miss Proctor as assistant, Miss Russell having vacated the place to go elsewhere. There is no lack of evidence that these teachers have applied themselves to their appropriate duties with skill, and diligence, and commendable energy. But there was one respect in which it was impracticable to give the School its former prominence. A large number of its best scholars, earlier in fact than ever before, had been promoted to the Grammar School before the com- mencement of the Winter term. This was an unprecedent- ed measure, and left the lower School, of course, in a very different state. Nor was it possible to overcome this differ- ence during the remainder of the year. Still we believe that the young children there have been well instructed, and have made good improvement, as their families can per- ceive.
The Grammar School has experienced some advantages and reverses. In the course of the season, the interior of the School-room was reconstructed, and supplied with new desks, and in other respects rendered eligible and conveni-
.
5
ent. Mr. Webster, while retaining his popularity here, was invited to take charge of the High School in Watertown, which appointment he saw fit to accept. This was in the midst of a term, which rendered it difficult at once to se- cure an acceptable successor. Two individuals severally supplied the place a week or more each, until the School was for a time suspended. Mr. J. W. Healy, a man of liberal education and experience, was finally appointed teacher, and has labored earnestly to restore the good order, and advancement of the School. Considering the condition in which he found things at the outset, and especially schol- ars so unusually young for that department, and a portion of them but poorly qualified for it at best, we think he has done something for a single term, which has been servicea- ble to the common cause, and particularly to the obedient and studious. If sufficient co-operation had been afforded him from all the families represented in his School, there would have been undoubtedly greater success.
