REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


OF THE


TOWN OF WEST CAMBRIDGE,


FOR THE YEAR 1857-8.

BOSTON : PRESS OF W. & E. HOWE, 39 MERCHANTS ROW. 1858.


REPORT.


The Committee proceed, as required by law, to give a detailed account of the condition of the Schools.


EAST DISTRICT.


This School has been taught, the last year, by Miss L. M. Hoytt.


Largest number of scholars any term, 60


Smallest 66 66 45


Average attendance, 36


Notwithstanding the difficulties attending the man- agement of a mixed school, made up as this school is of Primary School and Grammar School scholars, there is found here a thorough system of instruction and dis- cipline which it is very gratifying to witness. The school-room is spacious and well ventilated, and pleas- antly situated. The register shows the names of a large number of parents who have visited the school during the year. There seems to be a co-operation of parents and pupils with teacher and committee. - While this state of things continues, the school must prosper.


CENTRE DISTRICT.


The upper School in this District has been taught the last year by Mr. J. W. Willis, assisted by Miss Sarah M. Hunt.


Largest number of scholars any term, 90

This is not strictly a Grammar School. Many of the studies pursued here properly belong in a school of a higher grade. These branches of study cannot be pursued to the best advantage in a school of this character and size, without occupying an undue pro- portion of the teachers' attention. The result of the examination confirms this view. For while the reci- tations of the proper Grammar School classes were very creditable to the pupils and the teachers, and quite satisfactory to the Committee, the more ad- vanced classes did not do as well as could be desired. We would except from this remark the class in Physi- cal Geography, which recited with readiness and con- fidence, evincing a general mastery of the subject.


The Primary School in this District continues under the charge of its former faithful and efficient teacher, Miss C. C. Turner.

This School passed an excellent examination, show- ing the result of thorough instruction and good disci- pline. It is a large school, and suffers much from the low and ill ventilated apartments it occupies. This is always a discouragement to an earnest teacher, and a damper to the pupils' interest. Many parents have visited this school during the year, showing an interest in it, which it is hoped will manifest itself in securing an airy and comfortable room for the school at an early date.

NORTH WEST DISTRICT.


The upper School in this District has been under the instruction of Mr. H. A. Dearborn, the last year.


Largest number of scholars any term, 56


Smallest 66 66 51


Average attendance, 40


There has been a very satisfactory progress in this School during the year. The school shows marks of thorough training. The recitations of the first classes were excellent. The lower classes seemed not to have received quite their proper share of attention. This state of things is due to the defective classifica- tion of our schools. It is impossible for one teacher to do justice to so great a variety of studies as is pur- sued in this school. There are very few names of parents among the visitors to this school. The present prosperity of the school would be much increased by frequent visits from the parents of the district.


The Primary School in this District has been under the instruction of its former teacher, Miss M. C. Hill, assisted the first two terms by Miss A. L. Russell, and the last, by Miss F. R. Fessenden.

We are happy to repeat the commendations of this School made by former Committees. We are surpris- ed at the progress made by the children in their studies, when we consider the unfavorable circumstances in which they are placed. This is the largest school in town, and is crowded into a room in which it is utterly

impossible for the children to get the amount of air necessary for their health, without opening the win- dows and causing a very unsafe exposure. Several children have been removed from this school, because their health was suffering from the impure atmosphere of the room to such an extent as to alarm the parents. The atmosphere in this room when heated by a stove, and breathed over and over again by eighty or ninety children, is exceedingly offensive and unwholesome. We are satisfied that, if the parents would visit the school often enough to ascertain the dangers to which they are subjecting their children, by sending them here, this great obstacle to the usefulness of the school, would soon be removed.


. SOUTH DISTRICT.


The upper School in this District was for the first two terins of the year under the charge of Mr. A. R. Bullard; the last term, it was taught by Mr. G. S. Newcomb.


Largest number of scholars any term, 40

This School has suffered for several years the evils consequent upon a frequent change of teachers. At the examination made by the Committee, in the Au- tumn, the school appeared very well. At the public examination this Spring, there were so few scholars present, that we were unable to form a just opinion of the condition of the school. This school, under a good teacher, with the co-operation of the parents, must take a high rank among our schools.

The Primary School in this District has been taught by Miss Ellen W. Douglass.

This School has been broken in upon considerably by sickness the last part of the year. This examina- tion of the small number present, at the close of the term, gave satisfaction to the parents present, and to the Committee.


The law which requires the Committee to make a detailed report of the Public Schools, also requires us to make such statements and suggestions in relation to such schools as we shall deem necessary or proper to promote the interest thereof. In accordance with this requirement, the Committee would call the attention of the citizens, and especially of parents, to our Pri- mary School-rooms. We have one school of ninety scholars, and another of a hundred, in rooms quite in- adequate to their accommodation. These rooms are uncomfortable and unhealthy. According to the lowest estimate ever made of the quantity of air necessary for an individual, these rooms do not afford enough for a much smaller number of children than is daily found in them. Any system of education is perfect just so far as it produces a unity and symmetry in the devel- opement of all the powers. Now in these rooms the physical developement is not only neglected, but the seeds of weakness and disease are sown. Children may there secure a certain amount of intellectual de- velopement, but the proper balance of powers is de- stroyed, for nothing is more strictly true than that "a
