SCHOOL REPORT.


SCHOOLS.


The CENTRE SCHOOL has been in charge of Miss A. L. Davis, dur- ing the past year, which was her second year in this school, and she has fully sustained the high reputation she gained in her first year and carried the school successfully through the year, with the same tact and ability to govern, to instruct and to inspire, and we think we know whereof we speak, when we say that two years of better work have almost never been done in this school.


The work that has been accomplished, and the instruction given outside of the text books in a supplementary way has been great, and will influence the minds of these scholars through life, and this has been done in face of obstacles that were quite discouraging, and a severe trial to the patience and endurance of the teacher.


The SOUTH GRAMMAR SCHOOL has been under the instruction of Miss M. L. Farnsworth. This is the second year Miss F. has been in this school, and she also has won and sustained an enviable reputa- tion as a successful teacher. Her means of disipline are so mild, that they appear not to exist, yet so effective that every scholar in school is made unconsciously to do just what the teacher requires. Miss F. has been indefatigable in her labor in this school, and we are glad to say, that her labor has been appreciated by scholars and parents. We judge this school upon its own merits, work and standing, and we feel justified in saying, that a great deal of supplementary work has been well done in this school during the past year, and much instruction has been given in useful and practical knowledge that will mould the character of the pupils for happy and useful lives.


The SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL has been most unfortunate in a fre- quent change of teachers. Miss H. L. Davis had charge of this school for the first two weeks of the year, and appeared to be doing quite well, but was obliged to leave on account of sickness. The school was then under the charge of Miss A. C. Jones, for seven and one-half weeks and was doing well, when Scarlet fever broke up the school for the term. The fall term commenced with Miss K. B. McHugh who was a good teacher, but at the end of two weeks she was taken sick and obliged to leave the school After a short interval of time the services of the present teacher, Miss J. S. Smiley, were engaged. Miss S is well adapted and qualified for her work, and has the entire con- fidence of her pupils, and has by the mildest methods succeeded in keeping good order, and of keeping the little folks busy and interest-

SCHOOL REPORT.


ed in what they are doing, and of having so pleasing and interesting a way of instruction as to give entire satisfaction to the Committee, and we believe to the parents


In addition and conclusion it may be truthfully said, that we have live teachers in all the schools, who are wide awake to secure the best of the modern methods in teaching, and who deserve to be sustained in their work by parents, pupils and Committee, and well supplied with all they need to work with We also feel that it is not too much to say that in an acquaintance and experience of many years in the schools of this town with the exception of the interruption in the Pri- mary School there has not been one more successful than the year just closed


As compared with the thirty-four other towns in Essex Co., Lynn- field stands fifth in the average attendance of her scholars ; and also by the State Report but four cities and three towns in the County paid more to their female teachers, than Lynnfield has paid in the past year.


SCHOOLS AND METHODS.


In schools, and methods of teaching them, there is a wide scope for judgment, theory and practice. Pope says,


"For forms of government let fools contest, That's best administered is best."


We believe that a great deal of this may be applied to schools, and that, as the Secretary of our State Board of Education says, "Teachers should be left as far as possible to work in their own meth- ods and ways, subject to the supervision and consent of the Commit- tee." Any system, method, or teacher that attempts to instruct by pouring into the mind of the pupil, fails in its object and falls far short of the true design of teaching the pupils to use their own fac- ulties. It is impossible that children learn to write by having the writing done for them, and alike impossible that they learn anything in a way to do them any good by the pouring-in system. Let the object be presented and the pupil required to learn about it with as little showing as possible. Who will judge between the drawing-out and the pouring-in system and not give judgment in favor of the former. In this connection your Committee would recommend to have carried out the suggestions of the Secretary of the Board of Education, "That there be provided a few measures of length and


28


SCHOOL REPORT.


capacity, blocks, maps and plans, (inexpensive) as shall bring the pupils in contact with some of the things they have to learn about.


We also learn, from the State Report, that some towns no larger than our own employ a School Superintendent in addition to the School Committee. By a bill now pending in. the Legislature this subject may be decided for all towns by the State


Of writers, and what there is written upon Education, there is no want or lack ; indeed, it seems as though if all were published that has been written or may be written, "The world would scarcely con- tain the books that would be made." .And yet the truth remains that very many of our most useful and successful, and of our great and learned men, had the poorest chances to get their education.


Very much may be summed up in these words :- Work, earnest work ; work by the Parents, work by the Committee, work by the Teachers, work by the Scholars. When these all work together intel- ligently there can be no failure in school work to produce good results.


Before closing this report your Committee deem it but an act of justice to give a tribute of respect to the memory of Rev. Jacob Hood, who has so lately passed from among us He was much known in Essex County as Master Hood. So long and so faithful a teacher, and so zealous a friend and promoter of education and relig- ion, that a fitting epitaph for him would be "He taught boys to read."


For many years he was a member of the School Committee of this town, and, though at an age when most men think it necessary to re- tire from the active duties of life, his mind was still vigorous for the work he loved so well.


He was ever faithful to duty in town, school and church affairs In his death we feel we have lost a Father, and a bright 'example in all these things None knew him but to love and respect him, and "even his failings leaned to virtue's side "


Even in the last days of his life he was still active in such literary work as he could do, and when at 94 years of age he so calmly and peacefully fell asleep "and was not, for God took him," we feel that he awoke in those mansions not made with hands, that are prepared for him, and all who, like him, are faithful to the end.
