REPORT
OF
THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
OF WEST CAMBRIDGE.
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1845 .. 6.
At an early period after our election as School Committee, the Rev. William Ware, who was Chairman of the Board, was prevented by ill health from rendering us any further as- sistance. Much to the regret of the other members, the whole service henceforth devolved upon two individuals. Happily, however for this limited number, there were no serious diffi- culties to be encountered, other than would naturally result from the loss of an estimable associate in office. A greater amount of time, of course was required of us severally in con- sequence of this change. Yet we have found it practicable to visit the Schools more regularly than we at first imagined.
22
Nor have we any hesitancy in expressing the following convic- tions.
Both departments of the Union School have fully sus- tained their former reputation, and have made indeed com- mendable advances. In several respects, important to all, there has been, we think, a degree of attainment greater than before. By the efforts of the Teachers, aided by contribu- tions from friends in the District, there has been considerable addition to the apparatus of the School-rooms. There is thus afforded increased facility for mathematical illustrations, and philosophical experiments, and by the aid of a series of outline maps, advantage essential to the study of Geography. These facilities, combined with zealous instruction, have tended to elevate the standard of attainment, which, we trust, is destined to rise more and more.
The Grammar School, and the Primary School, in the North West District, have both been successfully conducted During the year. Improvement is manifest in the mass of the pupils, indicating skill and unwearied industry on the part of the instructors. It would be easy to specify points of progress, apparent to all. But if nothing more can be said than relates to the culture of the voice, correct enunciation, &c. the contribu- ting to good reading, there would be much to commend in the condition of each department of this School. Yet it is by no means in regard to this alone, that the Committee have the gratifying evidence of improvement. They see it in the manners and mental development of the scholars, prom- ising much of benefit for the future. There has here also been some addition to the furniture of the school room, which it is
23
hoped, the people of the District will yet increase as oc casion hereafter shall seem to require.
In the South District, there is reason still to speak well of of the School. It has been under the care of the same Teachers as before, and has prospered in various respects very happily. There has been deserved attention paid to elementary instruction. Hence while there are specimens of good reading and recitation, with the several marks of ad- vancing scholarship, there are examples also of unusual pro- ficiency in the art of spelling. The studies of the upper de- partment, it is hardly necessary to say, have taken a wide range since the school has become annual, under the present arrangement. Friends in the District have done well in sup- plying their school rooms with certain timely appurtenances in the course of the year.
The School in the Wyman District is still small in numbers, though gradually increasing. In both the Summer and the Winter term, there have been more in attendance than afore- time. As in the several schools in Town, the same Teachers have been employed as in the year preceding, and with their wonted measure of success. It would doubtless give impulse to the character of this School to have an accession to the list of its pupils ; and on this account we are happy to see that new families are locating in the neighborhood. The school- house however is in a very undesirable condition, presenting nothing in itself attractive. It has done good service probably in its day, but that day seems to be nearly past. Were it not in- deed for the prospect of needing, at no distant period, a larger House in that thriving District, the Committee would feel justi- fied in recommending repairs. Yet as it is, they would hardly know where to begin, or where to end, except in some slight particulars of improvement, which will doubtless be effected without advice. Time, it is presumed, will ere long settle the difficulty, by such an increase of population as will prompt the
24
Town to erect in the neighborhood a convenient building for the education of its youth. Until then, it is hoped that the people of the District will send their children punctually to the place where good instruction is wont to be given.
In the public examinations of the several schools, the Com- mittee have been pleased to observe proofs of advancement in them all. This must have been obvious, they think, to the numerous friends who were in attendance. It is desirable ev- idently that this order of things should be maintained. A still higher standard of attainment may be reached, and will be reached, if there shall be, as is suitable, a concentration of effort in that direction. To moral culture, in particular, more attention can be bestowed, on the part of teachers and of pa- rents, to the great advantage of individuals and community. While our children are acquiring the rudiments of learning, let them be taught effectually those principles of goodness which are of more importance than anything else. Thus will there be a process of education, fitting them for life, and for immor -- tality.
All which is respectfully submitted.
