COMPARATIVE POSITION OF THE TOWN.
In the abstract of School Returns of the State Board of Education for the 342 towns in the State, and the 35 towns in the County, this town stands as follows : -
In amount of money raised for the education of each child between the ages of 5 and 15, for the years 1875, '76, '77, respectively, -
In the State, 67-77-214. . In the County, 9-11-27.
In average attendance for the same years, -
In the State, 121-156-69. In the County, 9-11-5.
In percentage of taxable property appropriated to the
27
support of schools in 1877, this town is among the most favored, standing 323, with a percentage of .001, 82, or $1.82 per $1,000.
In the County this town stands 32, only 3 other towns having a lower percentage.
The average wages of female teachers in the County of Essex for 1877, was $37.70 per month. Average in Lynn- field $35.00, in Danvers $35.00, in Saugus $36.63.
The highest average wages of female teachers in the County was $60.00, the lowest $24.77 per month.
The average length of schools in the County in 1877, was 38 weeks. This town had 38 weeks in 1876, and 36 in 1877.
By this brief comparison it will be seen that while Lynnfield stands high in State and County in these impor- tant things, it is a very small burden for each one to carry .
That in which towns are most likely to fail, and which statistics do not at present show, is in a misimprovement of school privileges. In this respect our schools for the closing year have been particularly fortunate as compared with some years in the past. Still, there is room for im- provement. More interest in the schools by the parents, and more thorough co-operation with the teachers, would do a great deal to help the children and youth of our town.
A pertinent question suggested by recent facts, is the enforcement of the truant laws.
Very few changes in teachers have been made in our schools during the year. .
The North School, in charge of Mrs. E. P. Coney, has done noble work for the past year.
The Centre Primary was taught in the spring term by Miss M. A. Lawlor, who has had the successful charge of this school for ten years.
28
The Centre Grammar School was taught in the spring term by Miss S. R. Carter, but the average was too small for a separate school.
At the commencement of the fall term, the Centre Pri- mary and Grammar Schools were joined, with Miss Law- lor as principal, and Miss H. B. Danforth assistant, in charge of the Grammar Department. This arrangement was quite successful, and both departments have done well. Especial improvement was made in the Grammar Department.
The South School, in charge of Miss Mary Copeland, has continued to improve during the year. On account of the size of the school and number of classes in the winter term, there seemed to be too much work for one teacher. Accordingly Miss M. L. Moulton was employed as assist- ant for 9 weeks.
Harper's Geography was introduced into the schools by unanimous vote of the committee, and the approval of the teachers. This seemed a much needed change, as Cor- nell's have been used many years in the schools, and were quite out of date.
Coal stoves were put into the Centre and North School Houses ; greater comfort at much less cost being thus obtained.
The Mass. School Laws, Chap. 47, Sect. 1, provide that -
" The School Committee shall direct what books shall be used in the public schools, and shall prescribe, as far as practicable, a course of studies and exercises to be pur- sued in said schools."
The Secretary of the State Board of Education, says : -
" I desire again to invite the attention of School Com- mittees to the duty laid upon them in the last clause of this Section. I have more than once expressed the opinion that the duty here prescribed, if judiciously performed, is of far greater moment than that of prescribing the text-
29
books to be used. The studies are often chosen according to the tastes or whims of the pupils or parents. Classes are unduly multiplied, the time and strength of the teacher are exhausted, with little profit to the pupils, and less sat- isfaction to herself, in a ceaseless round of recitations and exercises, which such a lack of system necessitates."
CHAP. 47, SECT. 2. In any town or city in this Com- monwealth, a change may be made in the school books used in the public schools, by a vote of two-thirds of the whole School Committee thereof, at a meeting of said com- mittee, notice of such intended change having been given at a previous meeting of said Committee.
SECT. 3. If any change is made, as provided in Section 2 of this Act, each pupil then belonging to said public schools, and requiring the substituted book, shall be fur- nished with the same by the School Committee at the ex- pense of said town or city.
· The School Committee desire to thank the parents of this town for their co-operation with teachers and commit- tee, and their interest in the schools. Let us not be sat- isfied with what we have attained, but strive for better methods and greater excellence.
That our schools have been so prosperous and harmo- nious, and that contagious diseases have not been more fatal to schools or scholars, let us thank that over-ruling Providence " without whose notice not even a sparrow falls to the ground." We have His assurance that one of these little children is " of more value than many spar- rows." May they early learn that " virtue's ways are pleasantness, and all her paths are peace."
