SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
Our town has again done its part in paying the yearly installment of that " debt of education due from the present to future genera- tions." The law of Massachusetts makes the payment of this debt obligatory. Every town must have schools and every child between eight and fourteen years of age must go to school at least twenty weeks in a year. In the enforcement of this law the state makes only a reasonable demand on her citizens. The state shows increasing wisdom and watchfulness in providing that the schools shall be up to some standard of excellence and efficiency. It is not enough that children be brought together and taught something, somehow, in compliance with the peculiar idea or belief of any sect or community. The present age needs all its education, intelligence and wisdom to deal with the great questions before it, and there is great need that the youth and children in our schools be educated as thoroughly and completely as possible when we consider the great problems that are coming up before them to be solved by them. The problems of race, religion, suffrage and monopoly will require great sagacity and great statesmanship. To work, to watch and pray is the price of liberty, of safety, and improvement. But the word, "pray," opens a wide range of thought. The law requires that morality shall be taught in our schools and that the Bible shall be read. Might it not go further and require the ten commandments to be read and taught ? Would it infringe the rights or liberty of any one, if the children were taught that " Therefore of God is the beginning of wisdom?" If this is a Christian state or nation can we do nothing to perpetuate Christianity and a belief in God who has raised us up from the small beginning of a few prayerful men to so great a nation, so that we may continue to be "that nation whose God is the Lord " and a nation that He can continue to bless ?
During the past year our schools have kept up to a good standard of success and usefulness. As a measure of the standing and ad- vancement of the different classes, the Committee, with the help of
20
SCHOOL REPORT.
the teachers, have ascertained how they compare with the course of study laid out by the State Board of Education, which will be given in the report upon each school.
The Centre School in the spring term continued in charge of Miss M. J. Hammond. This was the last term of her second year in this school and she fully sustained its former excellence. The order was always good in school and the conduct of the scholars on the school ground was quiet and orderly. The pupils were thoroughly taught and had a good idea of what they studied. The Committee espec- ially noticed and commended the large amount of map drawing that was done by the classes in geography, and in no other way can so good a knowledge of geography be obtained and retained. The Committee felt that the school lost a good teacher when Miss Ham- mond resigned at the close of the term.
Miss L. H. Hobson took charge of the school in the fall term. She had large experience in teaching and her success in this school was all that could be desired during the term. At the Christmas vacation, in the winter term, Miss Hobson resigned to take charge of a graded school.
Miss E. P. Hale took charge of the school after the holiday vaca- tion. She has had a very successful experience in mixed schools and came with the best of recommendations which she has well sustained, being excellent in discipline, competent, thorough and energetic in teaching, and has the confidence of the scholars and their parents. During the few weeks of her teaching the school has been much improved and rapid progress has been made in the studies. She has also done a large amount of extra work in re-labelling and re-listing the text books. Outside the school-room by word and example she encourages her scholars to a life of better things.
Miss Minnie Flannigan has been employed as an assistant during the year. She has had charge of the primary classes and has been very successful in interesting and instructing them. She also has had charge of the singing in the whole school, and under her teaching nearly every scholar can read the notes in any key. The classes in this school are in advance of the state course of study in everything but analysis of sentences, while in some of the studies they are more than a year ahead of that course.
The South Grammar School has continued in charge of Miss L. J. Peaselee, this being her second year. The school is quite up to
2I
SCHOOL REPORT.
its previous good condition. Visitors to this school cannot fail to notice the industrious harmony throughout the school. There is also a very peaceful disposition among the scholars of this school when not in the immediate control of the teacher. The work that is being done in this school will always be seen in the lives of the scholars. The sixth and seventh year classes are up with the state course in reading, spelling, language and history. In arithmetic the state course requires that common and decimal fractions must be finished in the sixth year. That class in this school has finished compound numbers in addition to that. The seventh year class should finish compound numbers and percentage without the appli- cation. That class is more than a year ahead of that requirement.
The South Primary School has been in charge of Mrs. H. B. Berry. In this second year Mrs. Berry has made very noticeable improvement in order, neatness of room and in recitations and progress. A Temperance Band has been formed in this school. The Committee has had something of temperance work in all the schools, but this school has taken the lead in this much-needed work. An entertainment was given by this school and the proceeds were given by the scholars in deeds of charity. Mrs. Berry has the charge of the singing in the Grammar School, but on account of sickness, not so much has been done as is desirable.
The State Inspector of Public Buildings has inspected our school buildings and reports that the Centre School house needs a system of ventilation equal to that of the standard authorities for this class of school buildings. The Committee are liable to a fine for non- compliance.
In other respects the buildings are in very good order. Three large coal stoves have been purchased, and the comfort of these is much promoted thereby.
Respectfully submitted,
