REPORT
OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF WEST CAMBRIDGE,
FOR 1854-5.
IN making up the Report of the School Committee for the past year, we shall aim to present to the inhabitants of the town as clear a statement as possible of the condition of the schools at the present time, and the progress that has been made. We shall endeavor to fill our report with what facts and statistics we have been able to gather, as evidence of the manner in which the Committee, and those placed in charge as teachers of your children, have fulfilled their several duties.
We are perfectly aware that it is unnecessary at this day, to plead the cause of education. It is equally unnecessary to press upon your attention the great utility of our public schools. These matters you all understand and appreciate. You are willing to tax yourselves largely and freely for the education of the young ; you are willing and desirous to make education free and open to all, without cost to the child so that the son or daughter of the poorest man in the commu- nity may derive as much benefit from our public schools as the children of the wealthiest tax-payer among you. All you ask is, that the money raised for the support of schools shall be judiciously and properly expended, so as to produce the best and largest results. You ask of your Committee to report to you the manner in which the schools have been con- ducted, and the profit derived from the generous provisions
25
made by the town. In the following pages, according to the best of our ability, we give you the desired information, bc- ginning with the
CENTRE DISTRICT.
At the commencement of last year, the charge of the Gram- mar School went into the hands of Mr. C. L. Washburn, a young man educated at one of our State Normal Schools for the profession of teaching. He came here with good recom- mendations as to character and success as a teacher, and your Committee believe they have not been disappointed in the choice made. When Mr. Washburn took the school, from a series of previous disasters and disappointments, it was in- a low and disordered condition. It had lost its confidence and courage. But we are happy to state that, through the skill, energy and industry of the present teacher, aided by a ready co-operation of his pupils, the school, in one short year, has risen, in many points of excellence, to a condition never enjoyed before.
Many sound and valuable improvements have been made. The Committee have been much gratified to witness the change that has taken place within the school-room in regard to order, promptitude and studious deportment. We wish we could speak as favorably of the out-door conduct of the members of this school. Complaints have reached us in regard to rude- ness on the part of the boys, while engaged in their sports and recreations around the building and in the streets. We are sorry for the reputation of the school to hear any such reports, and should not speak of them here, were it not with the hope of their immediate correction thereby. We regard the character as dearly as we do the reputation of the schol- ars; and are of the opinion that no intellectual brilliancy, or attainments of scholarship, can excuse or compensate for rudeness to strangers, or the invasion of others' rights. This is an unpleasant matter to allude to in a report to be made public, and we trust the occasion for it will not occur again.
The school has been well attended during the year, and an
26
unusual interest manifested in the various studies pursued. Especially has great attention been paid to Geography and Arithmetic. The teacher has aimed to instruct by giving the plain and comprehensible principles on which a thorough knowledge of the subjects in hand are founded. After a pupil knows the principle of a thing, he can easily understand the facts : he can understand a rule in Arithmetic after he sees the principle and the reason for it. The principles of map- drawing have been taught, and the scholars, who have given their attention to it, have made remarkable progress, giving us, at the examination, some fine specimens of outline maps drawn upon the blackboard. In other branches, such as His- tory, Philosophy, Physiology, Book-keeping, Grammar, Punc- tuation, fair progress has been made. In Mental Arithmetic, the smaller classes were somewhat deficient. In the reading there is also some deficiency as to style and manner. There is a stiff declamatory tone - a want of flexibility of voice, man- ifested in the older scholars, that ought to be abandoned. But in these respects we have witnessed some improvement for the past year. We have only to add that the school has been well and ably taught, and is now in a prosperous and satisfac- tory condition.
The Primary School in this district has been in charge of Miss L. C. Tucker, a teacher of such well known abilities and success, as to need no praise at our hands. Her school comprises the usual studies of the primary department. It is the duty of the teachers in this department, to take children upon their first entrance, and fit them for the next grade. They are transferred to the Grammar School by qualification and not by age or size. Our standard of qualification for the upper school comprises Mental Arithmetic, Elementary Geography, Reading and Spelling plain English, and other little, but necessary subjects found in the spelling book. When these are gone through with in a thorough manner, and the children are able to take more advanced studies and go on with them in classes, we deem them fitted for removal to the Grammar School. We make this statement here, because some, who never visit the schools, complain of our method of
27
transference from one to the other. We are aware that, in this school in particular, quite a number of children were sent up a year ago, too young, and at an unusual time. We think it was an injury to the scholars thus transferred; but it was done by a former member of the board, without the concur- rence of his associates.
The school for the past year has gone on pleasantly and prosperously, and notwithstanding it was suspended a short time in the winter, on account of sickness, and for a number of weeks was thin in attendance, it passed a creditable and satisfactory examination. The school is in good hands, is advancing rapidly, and the parents have reason to rejoice that their children are under the management of one who takes so much pains, not only to instruct them properly, but to culti- vate within them amiable feelings and gentle manners.
NORTH-WEST DISTRICT.
The Grammar School in this part of the town has been under the tuition of the present incumbent, Mr. Silas Peabody. During the time Mr. Peabody has had charge of this school, it has gone on increasing every term, and every year, in inter- est and character. The district has been very fortunate in retaining his services for so long a time. He devotes his time and energies wholly to his profession, and we see the stamp of his mind and force of character in the conduct and ability of his pupils. This school, for the year past, has maintained a high rank, embracing studies and exercises scarcely inferior to those found in High Schools and Academies. One cause of its prosperity is, that the scholars in this district have remained in school until they are old enough to appreci- ate the worth and advantages of education, and able to go beyond the mere preliminaries of the District School. For thorough culture 'and solid attainments, we believe there are no scholars in town, whether educated at private schools or in the city, that are in advance of those in this district. This school, in fact, embraces nearly all the studies and branches found in a High School. At the annual examination, there
