STATE OF THE SCHOOLS.
NORTH SCHOOL.
During the spring term, the North School was under the care of Miss C. A. BECKETT, and she suc- ceeded well. We should have been glad to have re- tained her services longer, but she felt it her duty to leave.
During the Fall and Winter terms, this, school was under the care of Miss E. L. MUNROE. She had had but little experience as a teacher, but she did well. The Winter term manifested, that, while the scholars were making commendable progress, she was improv- ing in the art of skilfully managing her school.
CENTRE PRIMARY.
This school appears well. Its good appearance reflects much credit upon both teacher and scholars. The teacher, Miss M. A. LAWLOR, has now completed her fifth year of consecutive service in this town, and the fourth year of service in this school.

CENTRE GRAMMAR.
This school has been under the tuition of Miss M. J. FISHER, a well qualified and successful teacher. This completes her second year of service in this school; and her efforts have been crowned with marked success.
SOUTH SCHOOL.
Miss M. A. PRIME was the teacher in this school during the Spring term. It was her first effort at teaching. She had a happy faculty of communicating instruction, but she lacked in discipline. While the new schoolhouse was being built, Miss Prime had an offer to teach elsewhere, and she accepted it.
Miss M. E. CLOUTMAN was their next teacher. She commenced as soon as the new house was ready. The Fall term was therefore necessarily a short term, only seven weeks.
The Winter term commenced under the instruc- tion of Miss Cloutman, and continued under her tui- tion eight weeks, when the school was suspended for a week.
During the latter part of the Winter term, the school was under the tuition of Miss S. M. DEANE. She was an experienced teacher, and taught with marked success. She was there but six weeks, but she did a good work.
The town built a new and commodious house for this school during the past summer, at an expense of $4,334.13. In consequence of the building not being finished in season, the Fall term did not commence till six weeks after the other schools; but the Winter term was continued fourteen weeks,-eight weeks un- der Miss Cloutman, and six weeks under Miss Deane.

· The average of attendance is higher this year than the last; but there is room for improvement. We wish the average attendance to be over 90 per cent. in each of our schools; and we can have it, if the pa- rents will do their duty. Parents are not aware how much the progress of their children depends upon their regularity and punctuality. The day of improve- ment is past with that pupil who thinks that school duties are less important than other duties. Teach your children to have " a time for everything," and " a place for everything," and see that they practise it; for without regular, prompt attendance, we have neither study nor progress. Now the duties of the
9
Carrie A. Hewes .
66

school constitute the business of the child, so long as he remains a member of the school; hence all other work should be made subservient to this. School du- ties, during term time, should take precedence of all others; and the parent should no more keep him away from school, during school hours, than he would from his place of business, if he were learning the trade of a carpenter, mason, or blacksmith, or was a clerk in a storc.
COMPARATIVE POSITION OF THE TOWN.
The following statistics must be interesting to all. They are derived from the Report of the Board of Education of 1870. The report for 1871 is not yet published.
In percentage of taxable property appropriated to Public Schools, the town stood, when compared with the other towns in the State, the 307th,-the year be- fore, the 304th. In the County, the town stood the 32d,-the year before, the 31st. In the amount of money appropriated to each scholar between five and fifteen, the town stood, in the State, the 156th,-the year before, the 141st. In the County, the town stood the 20th,-the year before, the 18th. In the ratio of attendance, the town stood, in the State, the 90th,-in the County, the 3d.
From the above it appears that, while the town is among those which appropriated the smallest percent- age of its taxable property to school purposes, the scholars are among those who have made the most constant use of the schools; for only two towns in the County have a higher ratio of attendance, and in the State, out of 335 towns, only 89 have a higher
10
ratio. Such conduct on the part of the scholars de- serves commendation; and it should stimulate the town to devise for them liberal things. And here we suggest that, as it is our duty and should be our aim, whenever new teachers are to be procured, to secure such only as are thoroughly fitted for their work, the town must furnish us with the means of obtaining such teachers, and of keeping them when obtained.
Never was parental influence more needed by the teacher than now. Children come home with com- plaints that the teacher has unjustly punished them, or given them too long a lesson. Now just as soon as the parent sees there is difficulty between the teacher and his children, he ought at once to look into the matter; for it is very indiscreet to decide, on the testimony of an angry child, that the teacher is wrong, and thus encourage the child in his insubordi- nation. The teacher in all probability is right, and needs your support. Go kindly, then, and see the teacher; for, in nine cases in ten, if not ninety-nine in a hundred, the teacher is right. Depend upon it, that well-behaved children are never abused. Go, then, and examine into the matter, and you will find that your child has done wrong and needed correction. It is miserably mean to go about the neighborhood and say the teacher is " partial," or "has no judgment," or " hates your child above ground;" or, "my child is not the worst in school;" or, that "somebody deserved punishment more." Why not squarely put the ques- tion, Is my child wrong? If, upon inquiry of the teacher, you find the child was, then stand by the teacher and sustain her to the end. The good of the school and the good of the community require it. Should the teacher be in the wrong, go to her kindly
11
and tell her so, and she will be happy to correct any mistake she may have made. Therefore stand by the teacher and sustain her.
In investigating a case of school discipline, the parent should never forget that the teacher sees things that are done from a different stand-point from what the child sees it; she therefore has advantages for forming a just judgment. There are faults committed by scholars which are more dangerous to good order, than an obstinate resistance to authority,-faults, the evils of which can be seen only from the teacher's stand-point,-faults, concerning which the offender would say to the teacher, "I wan't doing anything." How often, when answering the teacher, has the of- fender, by a peculiar tone of voice, convulsed the whole school with laughter; or, when going to his seat from the teacher's desk, by the contortions of his face, or by a peculiar gait in walking, how often has he caused the whole school to burst out in loud laugh- ter. And still he would say, "I wan't doing any- thing;" and the misguided parent would believe him, and feel that he was an abused child, and that the teacher did not love him because she punished him when he " wan't doing anything."
There are parents who will uphold their children in wrong-doing, and will take them from school sev- eral weeks before the close of the term, rather than they should acknowledge they have done wrong. Such parents not only injure the school, but they injure the reputation of the town by lowering the average of attendance, and thereby compelling the town to take a comparatively lower place among the towns of both the county and the state. But they injure their children more than all; for, while their children
12
are absent, the school is advancing in knowledge; and when they return to school, the progress of their classes must be impeded, or their children be put in lower classes.
We rejoice there are but few such parents among us; but while there are' any, the welfare of our schools, and the welfare of their children, require us to be outspoken upon this subject.
While your Committee solicit the continued inter- est of the people in the schools, we request a larger appropriation of school money for the coming year.
