SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
-
In accordance with precedent duty and law, the School Committee has the honor to present its annual report to the citizens of Lynnfield.
The common school system of Massachusetts has been so long established, and its benefits so fully appreciated by all classes of people, that it is needless to mention its importance,-almost as well discuss the importance of the air we breathe. So long has it been established, so many reports made and so much written on the subject that it is nearly impossible to say anything new about schools or education. But we think that in reminding people of a truth already known as important, a service may sometimes be done as in telling them something they have not known before.
We believe in the common schools of our state, scattered as they are through city and country, that they are second only in importance to that religion which originated and sustains them, and which we believe will sustain and perpetuate them in spite of all opposition by sectarian opponents. And we digress so far as to say that when the Roman Catholic Church has champions for the common schools of Massachusetts, so strong and so firmly believing in them and so zeal- ous for their welfare and the education of children, that they will introduce into our legislature a bill for the provision of free text books in the public schools, there is little danger to our school system even from that source.
While we fully recognize the importance of the elaborate supervis- ion, the complicated system and machine-like work of the graded schools of the city, we just as firmly believe in the semi-graded or ungraded schools of the country, with all their defects and disadvan- tages, which are many and great, and the children who attend a good country school are immeasurably better 'off than those who attend the city schools,-for what can measure the moral and healthful in- fluence of the country school as compared with the city.
22
SCHOOL REPORT.
If their progress in country schools is slower, that slowness is often in their favor. They have sounder minds in sounder bodies, and develope into a better educated manhood and womanhood. This may be mainly due to the fact that their education is more practical. They see more of the things they study about. That practical educa- tion which the city tries so hard to obtain, the country has continually in its hands, and it is the fault of country parents, teachers and chil- dren if they fail to make good use of those object lessons before them.
If you think we are a little strong on country schools we can assure you that we are confirmed in these views by some of the highest edu- cational authority in the state. Moreover, we are strong in these views as they apply to the schools of Lynnfield, because we want you to be strong with us, so that by united strength we may make them better than they are; that we so improve all the advantages we have, that comparison with the schools of any place shall be favorable to our schools. We are strong on country schools because of the tendency to decry and berate then, to say and feel that because they are ungraded country schools they are almost useless for the purpose for which they are maintained. Remember that the greatest intel- lects of the nation, Washington, Webster, Lincoln, Grant and Gar- field, began their education in ungraded country schools, and when we include a large part of the successful business, educational and professional men and women of our own time, there is little reason to berate them.
Let the citizens of Lynnfield be as loyal to their town and schools as was Flora McIvor who so loved her country that she would tole- rate and love no one who had not an equal love for it. Be so loyal to the schools that you will never hinder their work or retard their progress by decrying them in the presence of children until you have made a strong effort to improve them. Let the parents see that their children are punctual and constant in attendance.
Let them be more careful to sustain the committee and teachers in their decisions, until, if wrong. they are changed.
In regard to the particular condition of our own schools we would say that, although defective on many accounts and far from ideal or practical perfection, they have been successful in most of those things which pertain to good schools. We refer again to State authority in saying that they are "pretty well up." With the excep-
23
SCHOOL REPORT.
tion of the Centre School the teachers have heen continuous in ser- vice from one to three years. In this we are fortunate as it avoids the patch work which is inevitable in a frequent change of teachers. Miss Lura H. Pickering had charge of the Centre School three weeks at the beginning of the year, and was doing a good work, when she was called to a larger and more lucrative position by the Superin- tendent of Portsmouth schools, who had been her Superintendent in another town in Massachusetts .. She was succeeded by Miss Ida A. Nutter who successfully carried the school through the spring term. During the summer vacation the Committee were sorry to receive her resignation. She had received an offer and accepted a position in one of the schools of Quincy. Miss Mattie Hammond took charge of this school at the commencement of the fall term. Miss H. had the very desirable qualification of experience in mixed schools, and has taught this school to the satisfaction of the Committee, parents and scholars, and it is not too much to say that this school, in charge of Miss H., has been a decided success.
The singing in this school is remarkably good at the present time, and has been very much improved by instruction from Miss Jennie Flanagan, whose service in this has been gratuitous, except so far as during one term she was paid by the teacher.
In this school by advice of the Committee, the plan has been tried of having no recess, but of allowing the scholars to leave the room for a few minutes, one at a time in regular order. By doing this the school avoids the confusion and all attendant boisterous and disord- erly evils of a recess in the middle of a school session. The time thus gained is taken off at the close of the session.
The South Grammar School has been taught by Miss Sadie New- hall during the year. Miss N. always has an orderly school, has the confidence of her pupils and appears to the Committee to be faithful in the discharge of her duties in the school room. She has given a great deal of oral instruction which is one fashion of modern teaching.
The penmanship in this school has had much attention and attracted the notice of the Committee and friends at the close of the school. We would be glad to have noticed more progress in some of the studies. This may be accounted for, however, by the irregular attendance, mostly, we believe, on account of sickness.
24
SCHOOL REPORT.
The no-recess plan has been tried in this school, and we are much inclined to like it.in both schools.where it has been tried. -
The South Primary School has continued under the instruction of Miss Jennie Smiley. This is her third year in this school, and she has fully sustained her former success and reputation. The penmanship of these "little men and women" as in the past, continues to be very good, and the same .may be said of their general deportment. The seating capacity of this school room has at times been fully tested.
A little more of the Kindergarten System might be profitably intro- duced in this school.
In conclusion,we congratulate the parents of Lynnfield upon the good condition of our schools. during the past year, that no wast- ing sickness or contagious disease has interfered with their progress, and that the children and youth of our town are so free from the saloon influence and so many of the evils that so tempt and corrupt the children and youth of many other towns.
The Committee acknowledge the favor and help of two visits from State Agents ; one in April, from Mr. John Prince, and one in Janu- ary from Mr. N. W. Edson, both of whom especially commended the good appearance of our school buildings, both inside and outside. They also favorably noticed many good things in the schools, and some things they criticised.
For future work we think more of morality should be taught, that children should be taught to do a thing because it is right, or not to do a thing because it is not right. Morality is one of the things es- pecially required by law to be taught in our public schools.
A good work might be done by Committee, teachers and perhaps with the promised help of one of the State Agents in defining as far as can be in ungraded or semi-graded schools a course of study for each school year. This would serve as a help and guide to teachers and scholars in many ways.
We are glad to notice that so many of the scholars from Lynn- field are attending the High School of Wakefield, and that more will be fitted for that school and we hope some for the Peabody High School, at the close of the spring term. While our town is not obliged to be at the expense of maintaining a High School, it seems but an act of justice to the youth of Lynnfield that the town pay the tuition of those who wish to attend the High Schools of Wakefield or

Peabody. The expense would be slight compared with the cost of keeping a High School. With this free tuition added to what we already have, our school privileges would be so good that the growth and prosperity of Lynnfield and the education and intelligence of her people would be promoted.
