The progress of our schools has as a whole been quite sat- · isfactory. The school in the North District was discontinued during the spring term by unanimous vote of the committee, and in accordance with recommendation of the previous com- mittee. The average had been less than ten scholars, and it seemed reasonable that a difference should be made on that account. The school commenced in the fall term under the charge of Mrs. E. P. Coney, and has made rapid progress.
The resignation of Miss S. F. Bryant, after three year's con- tinuous service in the Centre Grammar School, left a vacancy which was filled by Miss S. R. Carter, who came with a well- established reputation, and has labored hard in the school, which showed much improvement in the fall term. But her efforts in the winter term were partially paralyzed by influen- ces which a teacher could never control. Notwithstanding this, there was great improvement in the recitations.
The Centre Primary School, under the charge of Miss M. A. Lawlor, who has completed her ninth year of service in this school, sustains its former excellent reputation.
A vacancy in the South School, caused by the resignation of Miss E. L. Munroe at the close of the summer term, was filled by Miss M. J. Copeland, under whose charge the school has steadily improved.
By unanimous vote of the Committee, with the approval of all the teachers, the Franklin Readers were introduced in place of Sargent's Readers, which have been so long used in this town. The Franklin Readers are used in most of the neighboring towns, and are in many respects better than Sar- gent's. In addition to its instructive reading lessons, it has a biographical and critical notice of each author, thus con- taining a compendium of literature which the scholars will never have a better opportunity to learn, and probably many of them never would learn were it not thus presented.
While it has been said that the schools as a whole were doing well, it is to be regretted that in too many instances, a mistaken sympathy with the children, or want of discipline
8
at home, has wrought insubordination in school, which, how- ever much of an evil it is, does not cease there, but is only the first growth of that mischievous and sometimes lawless behavior which at other times afflicts the community.
It is gratifying to know that Massachusetts was foremost in all that pertains to the practical education of her children, at the late Centennial Exhibition.
As early as 1642, the laws of Massachusetts Colony pro- vided that " Forasmuch as the good Education of Children is of Singular behoofe and benefit to any Commonwealth, and whereas many Parents and Masters are too indulgent and negligent of their duty in that kind ;
"It is ordered that the chosen men for managing the pruden- tials of every Town, in the several Precincts and quarters where they dwell, shall have a vigilant eye over, their neigh- bors, to see, First that none of them shall suffer so much Barbarism in any of their families, as not to endeavor to teach by themselves or others their Children and Apprentices, so much learning as may enable them to read perfectly the English tongue and a knowledge of the Capital Laws, upon penalty of twenty shillings for each neglect therein."
The present law makes it the duty of committees and tru- ant officers to discover and inquire into all cases of neglect of duty by parents and guardians, and deal with them according to the requirements of law.
" The general school committee of a city or town have power, under the laws of this Commonwealth, in order to maintain the purity and discipline of the public schools, to exclude therefrom a child whom they deem to be of a licen- tious and immoral character, although such character is not manifested by any acts of licentiousness or immorality within the school. 8 Cush. 160.
" The school committee has authority, not subject to revis- ion if exercised in good faith, to exclude a pupil from a pub- lic school for misconduct which injures its discipline and man-
9
agement ; and the expulsion of such a pupil from the school by a part of the committee, unanimously ratified afterward by a full committee, is not an irregularity in the exercise of authority, which gives the pupil a right of action against the town." 105 Mass. 475.
