SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
To the Citizens of Lynnfield : - The School Committee submit the following report :
The Centre School began the year under the instruction of Miss Sadie B. Chapman, but the number of scholars was found to be larger than one teacher could properly teach, and the school was divided into primary and grammar, Miss Chapman taking charge of the Grammar School. She was successful in teaching, but not so in discipline, yet the scholars made fair progress in their studies. The fall term commenced in charge of Miss Laura E. Horne, who had remarkable success in gaining the confidence of her scholars, in keeping good order, in imparting instruction and in having good reci- tations. This school was discontinued near the end of the term on account of sickness, and during the winter term was very much retarded by absence for the same reason.
The Centre Primary School began in charge of Miss Lillian F. Merrow, who was successful in interesting and teaching the scholars, and thereby made commendable progress during the term. The fall term of the Primary School commenced in charge of Miss Clara. M. Herrick, who worked with the zeal of a beginner, and with much patience and care succeeded in having a school that made satisfac- tory progress. After teaching one week in the winter term, the number of scholars was seen to be so small that this school was put with the Grammar School, with Miss Herrick as assistant. In three weeks, the number of primary scholars being somewhat larger, the school was again divided, Miss Herrick having charge of the Primary School as before.
The South Grammar School began the year under the instruction of Miss Emma Taylor. Miss Taylor had good order, good recitations, and consequently, a school that gave good satisfaction. Many of the examination papers at the end of the terin showed a high per cent. of correct answers. The fall term began in care of Miss Lucy Roby,
19
SCHOOL REPORT.
who had remarkable success in gaining the interest and good will of her scholars. and successfully taught them till she resigned at the end of the term. During the winter term the school was taught by Miss Miriam C. Smith, who came to this school with high recommenda- tions, which she sustained by keeping good order, and by persever- ance, gaining the respect and confidence of her scholars. She was successful in having a good school.
The South Primary School during the year has been taught by Miss Jennie Quinn. Miss Quinn has the tact to keep all the scholars at work, which helps to keep them in order. Most of the qualities that go towards making a good school have been found in this school throughout the year.
With few exceptions, we think our schools have been all that could reasonably be expected. They have been interrupted by sickness, and sometimes entirely broken up. There have been more changes in teachers than usual. These changes seemed unavoidable. While the teacher has more to do in making a good school than any other person, condition or circumstance, yet the encouragement of the parents and friends of the scholars is a great help. Teachers often feel discouraged in their work, and as though they were left alone without the sympathy or help of those who ought to be most inter- ested in the school. Some of our teachers have spoken of this ; also of how much children are kept out of school by their parents.
The desire to attend the High Schools of the adjoining towns seems to be increasing. More scholars are taking advantage of the town provision for tuition than in years before. This is a good indi- cation which it is desirable to encourage.
