SCHOOL REPORT.


In accordance with the law of the Commonwealth, the School Com- mittee beg leave to present the following Report : -


It affords the School Committee great pleasure to be able to report that the Schools of the Town are in a very excellent condition. The generos- ity of the Town in furnishing such commodious and pleasant School Buildings, is meeting its fit reward. And the wisdom of the Town in the establishment and support of a High School, is already being shown in the increased interest and energy with which both teachers and scholars have taken hold of their allotted work.


The watchword in all the Schools, more especially for the latter part of the school year, has been "Excelsior," and the Committee can but feel gratified at the progress made in each and every department of School labor. And the Town, through the energy and interest thus happily de- veloped, is already receiving good return for its investments in behalf of the educational interests of the young. Nothing is more apparent than that the children are beginning to appreciate the liberality and wisdom of the Town, and future generations will reap ample reward from the good seed thus being sown in the minds and hearts of the children of to-day. This surety of good, if nothing else, should prompt us to a cheerful con- tinuance of that generous support, with which, for so many years, the measures of the School Committee have been favored. But to proceed in detail.


HIGH SCHOOL.


This School, which opened last December, with an unexpected number of pupils, has been under the charge of Mr. C. O. THOMPSON, assisted, during part of the Term, by Mrs. CARLETON. It gives us great pleasure to bear witness to the entire success which this new and much needed School has achieved. In one Term, and that a Term broken by reason of the ill health of Mr. THOMPSON, the School has made a long step for-


48


REPORT OF THE


ward. The quiet, judicious, and efficient method of teaching and govern- ment, adopted by the Principal, and the steady, persistent efforts of the pupils, render apparent the use and value of this School. Studies which could not be pursued to advantage elsewhere, have been very successfully prosecuted here, and already has a good foundation for future usefulness been laid, through the readiness of the pupils to receive and make use of the discipline and information which are here offered them. And when sufficient time shall have passed, to put into operation the whole course of study which has been marked out for this School, we think there will be manifest such a decided improvement in scholarship, and such added means of usefulness and honor, as will suffice to convince all thoughtful persons, of the great value, and necessity to the Town, of this School, which stands as the cap-sheaf of our system of Town Schools.


GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.


The Russell Grammar School continues under the charge of Mr. ALAN- SON PALMER, assisted by Miss E. A. WILLIAMS, and is doing well the work assigned it. Marked improvement is manifest in many branches, and in all there is apparent a faithfulness on the part of teachers and scholars, such as must result in great good. Without desiring to be in- vidious, the Committee take pleasure in commending Miss WILLIAMS' success in teaching Geography. Whatever the method is, that she has adopted, the very excellent examination of her classes testifies that her pupils have more than committed to memory the facts contained in the text book, and have photographed indelibly upon their minds the prominent features of geographical knowledge.


The introduction of the " Lewis Gymnastics," in this School, has had a good effect, by serving to break up the tiresome monotony of school life, and the time occupied by these is more than accounted for by the in -. creased cheerfulness and zeal with which they cannot fail to inspire the scholar. We hope the time will soon come, when all our Schools shall enjoy the benefit which may be derived from these simple, but interesting and useful exercises.


The Cutter Grammar School still remains under the charge of Mr. J. D. MARSTON, who has proved himself a capable and efficient teacher. Since September, 1864, he has been assisted by Miss MARY WARFIELD, who has done a wonderful work with those under her charge, evoking order and interest from confusion and indifference. This School, through the great and judicious improvement in school accommodations, has made

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.


rapid progress during the last year, in every thing pertaining to discipline and study. The removal of the first class to enter the High School, has permitted the other classes to assume their proper positions, and given them encouragement to study, such as they could not have had, had that class remained a year or two longer, as was formerly the custom. And here, if no where else, is marked the advantage gained through the com- pletion of our school course, by the addition of a High School.


Both teachers and scholars have new incentives to faithfulness, and cer- tainly have shown, during the last Term of the school year, how inciting it is to have some certain change in position and study, to look forward to. And the Committee can but be highly gratified with the result. In this School, too, the "Lewis Gymnastics " have been practised with good effect.


INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS.


The East Intermediate School during the past year has made very de- cided progress. Miss CADY has succeeded admirably in gaining the good will and interest of her pupils, and the consequence is, that the studies have been esteemed less a task than formerly, and the readiness and accu- racy with which the recitations are marked, is indicative of the fitness and efficiency of this teacher. The good order manifest here, is testimony that discipline carr be maintained here as elsewhere, and we trust the teacher may have the full cooperation of the parents in this District, in rendering this School equal in all respects to Schools of like grade elsewhere.


The Russell Intermediate, it is enough to say, remains under the super- vision of Miss TURNER. Having won the confidence and respect of Committee and parents, she has continued to maintain the position she has always occupied as a faithful, energetic and successful teacher. Her pupils appreciating her worth, and entering heartily into her plans, have shown their determination to render themselves worthy of her care, and to maintain the good reputation which for some years past has belonged to this School. Progression without crowding, thoroughness without pe- dantry, and order without tyranny, have marked, and made this School worthy of the highest approbation of every honest lover of true learning.


The Cutter Intermediate School has been another year under the care of Miss ELIZA A. SIMMONS, and when we say that, we have sufficiently indicated the condition of the School. As a friend and teacher, Miss


50


REPORT OF THE


SIMMONS has succeeded finely in winning the affection and interest of her pupils, and all true friends of education, may feel gratified with the results obtained. The new and more convenient room, too, has had its good influence, and the Town may well feel satisfied to witness how good the effect has been to provide convenient and pleasant rooms for children to pursue their studies in. The increased order and neatness alone, repay in some good measure, the expense incurred, and when we add to these the greater happiness aud interest of the scholars, we have said all that is needful to convince every one of the judiciousness of the change made.
