REPORT OF THE
best, and the able Report of the Secretary of the Board of Education for the present year, discusses it as a leading topic, and commends it for uni- versal adoption.
The purpose of the system is to include in one School only that class of children, to whom, from their years and condition of mental advancement, a uniform mode of government and instruction will apply. If the range of age be too great, the teacher is embarrassed by the variety of disci- pline required, and if the studies be too numerous, his faculties are over- tasked and diffused. His best success is secured by concentrating his attention upon pupils and branches that do not distract by conflict or incongruity.
But if the Schools in this Town are partially within this system, they nevertheless suffer wherever the grading is not introduced. This may be seen in the Grammar Schools. In these, there has been a long struggle for a monopoly of the teachers' attention, which has ended where it ought to end, in favor of those who are properly Grammar pupils. The conse- quence has been, that the older children have found their claims unanswer- ed, their position incompatible, and of course their interest in study declin- ing. Some of them have resorted to private Schools; others, and by far the majority, have quitted School altogether. The number of pupils in the Schools, over fifteen years of age, is very small, and the Committee cannot say that the older class of Grammar pupils has been distinguished by any superiority of deportment or application to study.
These important facts being known to the Committee, it is their clear duty to present them, and to suggest the best possible remedy. This is easily done. The Town must complete its series of Schools. It must establish a High School, in which, in the language of the Report already quoted, there shall be separation of "the large scholars from the small, in different apartments, and under teachers with different literary acquire- ments." The Committee have no hesitancy in pressing this necessity upon the Town, and make no apology for over urgency. In former Reports, they have shown to what results the requirements of our School system must logically lead. It is time that the question was disposed of by direct discussion and action. If the Town be in carnest in the fulfilment of its duties towards the rising generation, then what is now to be said will have its proper weight.
The laws of the Commonwealth require that every Town containing five hundred families or houscholders, shall maintain a High School of a de- signated grade. Any smaller Town may maintain such a school. One hundred and one Towns in the State have complied with this law. Twenty-
51
SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
two Towns, estimated from the number of inhabitants, to be within the requirements of the law, have not complied. In Middlesex County, every Town liable, has its High School. Of twenty-five Towns in this County, having High Schools, five have voluntarily established them, not being liable under the law. West Cambridge stands the twelfth among the Cities and Towns of this County, in the valuation of estates. It is the fifty-first Town in the County in the proportion of its School appro- priation to its valuation. There is but one other Town in the State with a valuation equal to that of West Cambridge, that has not a High School.
Now it is the long settled policy of the State, to compel each Town to maintain the best School, that its means can provide ; and general laws have been enacted, by which the number of families is made the measure . of ability. This Town, and one or two others are anomalous in their posi- tion. They have the wealth of large and the population of small Towns. They are not within the letter, but certainly are within the intent of the law. If this Town choose for the present to avoid its duty, it may do so, without the fear of the law before its eyes.
This being the condition of things, what shall be the action of the Town. If it do not wish to complete its series, it can have its fair, mediocre, re- spectable Schools, with the disadvantages of an imperfect system ; or, at a cost not considerable in proportion to its means, it can by establishing a High School, put life, harmony, and improvement into the entire chain. As the Town now is, this can be done, not through compulsion, but by gen- erous, intelligent choice.
The one great objection will be urged against the introduction of a High School, -the argument to the purse. The Committee do not, by the remotest implication, hint the charge of parsimony upon the Town. It is not the lack of liberality, but the inappreciation of an important interest and duty, that the Committee hold most in fear. The Town will be com- pelled, this year, to expend large sums on School-houses. But this expense is temporary, and being met, is disposed of for years. Then, again, all public burdens are increasing, and their weight will press heavier and heavier. But the education of our children is a primary duty, and its cost must be provided for, whatever other charge may come with it. Be- sides, no small portion of these extraordinary burdens have been dis- tributed along the years to come, to be upheld and discharged by those who are to succeed us on the stage of active life. Is it right to impose the load, and by deficient education diminish the power of bearing it. But the Town would not be assuming an unusual liability in providing for

REPORT OF THE
a High School ; the increased appropriation would not even then carry it into the first half of Middlesex Towns in the table of proportionate ex- penditure. Indeed, in 1840, the Town appropriated double the proportion it now expends, -and it is to be feared that the Schools have not kept pace with the increase of property.
After all, it is property that must support public education ; and most properly so, for it thus provides for its own preservation. Measurably, the poor of this generation will be the rich of the next, and so with the converse. Property must educate those who are to have it in charge, to protect or to administer it. Public education has, therefore, for its main- tenance, in some manner, a right of eminent domain over property, and the cost which the latter pays, is the lightest police or war tax, for it goes farthest in securing peace and public and private rights. It is no boon, this support of public education ; it is the discharge of a duty which, neglected, would involve the community in a myriad of woes. If flagrant war consumes our substance, yet war is not perpetual, and the generation we are now educating, are to set up the prostrate columns of good govern- ment, and to secure to our land as it issues from its trial of conflict and disorder, the blessings of lasting peace. Not the least place, then, in a wise economy, in meeting the claims of present duty, should be filled by a generous provision for the thorough education of those with whom, by and by, the sacred and permanent interests of society will rest.
