REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The committee have been well pleased with the success of the schools this year.
We highly appreciate the work of our superintendent. As stated in the superintendent's report which follows, the school buildings at the centre of the town are not in proper condition ; especially the building occupied by the primary school. The committee sincerely regret that they have not been able to make some different arrangement for the comfort of the children, and hope that something may be done in that direction during the coming year. The school census taken in September shows one hundred and twelve children in Lynnfield, fifty-three at the centre, and fifty-nine at the south part of the town.
We received nine hundred dollars from the State this year, which is twice as much as we usually have, or probably shall have again.
We recommend the following appropriations :-

REPORT OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Committee :-
My second report as Superintendent of Schools is herewith respectfully submitted.
All the schools have been continued with no change of teachers from last year, and the results have been very satisfac- tory. The work has been done intelligently, and in every instance the interest of the child has been the first consideration. If any cases have occurred where the pupil did not advance as rapidly as was expected, or if any other cause of dissatisfaction has arisen, I think the reason for the same has been beyond the teacher's power to remedy, and she could hardly be held responsi- ble for it. The best results cannot be realized unless there be a complete co-operation of home and school forces. While a good school can not exist without a good teacher, it is nevertheless true that a good teacher will not insure a good school under ad- verse circumstances. The authority of and respect for the teacher must be recognized alike by the pupils and parents, and parents are as largely responsible for good results at school as any one else. A child who is taught at home to respect his teacher and is sent to school impressed with the thought that he should do his best will almost invariably do good work and like his school. In nearly every instance I think these conditions have prevailed. I allude to these matters not to criticize but to emphasize their im- portance, and to urge a still greater thoughtfulness on the part of parents with regard to those things that concern a good school. Schools cost. money, and every influence that can possibly tend to their higher efficiency and thereby result in larger returns for money spent should be invoked in their behalf and in the interest of economy.
One matter in particular which seems to me to belong to home influence is the question of attendance. Pupils should be
27
REPORT OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
sent to school regularly and should be on time at each session ex- cept for very good reasons. A child is not expected to go to school in case of sickness, nor in very inclement weather, but a child who is well and strong and is going to school at all should feel that it is of the greatest importance to be present promptly at the opening of school. In active life a man to be successful must establish a record for unfailing regularity and promptness in keep- ing business engagements, and I know of no better training in this direction than to have this habit rigorously cultivated in con- nection with school work and attendance.
Improvements have recently been made at the South School House which will add greatly to the comfort of all concerned. A large furnace has been placed in the basement and hot air and ventilating flues built. The removal of the stoves leaves the rooms more attractive and with the present arrangement the dis- tribution of heat is much more uniform. Formerly those near the stove were kept uncomfortably warm in an attempt (some- times fruitless) to suitably warm the remote parts of the room. Formerly, too, the air often became foul and oppressive because of the entire lack of ventilation. Now the rooms are evenly warmed and the ventilation is as near perfect as is possible to make it.
The question of better school accommodations at the centre has been prominently before the town for the past year but noth- ing definite has been agreed upon. The grammar school is com- fortably housed in a room capable of being well heated and ventilated. The pupils' desks, however, are a relic of the past and should be replaced as soon as possible with single adjustable desks. This change would greatly promote the comfort of the pupils and insure better work in the school. It may not be wise to put new desks into the old building if a new one is soon to be erected, but unless such is to be the case the matter should be attended to. Even if new desks were now supplied they could be transferred to a new building if one was erected later.
The Centre Primary School is poorly housed and poorly furnished. The desks are unsuitable, the floor is in a very bad condition, the room is low, unsatisfactorily heated, and no
28
REPORT OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
adequate provision for ventilation. At a considerable expense the room could be materially improved, and perhaps made to meet all requirements. The expediency of such a change would be questionable. A new building of moderate cost to accom- modate both schools would be the most economical plan when looked at from a future point of view. This matter deserves the careful consideration of all those interested in the Centre schools.
I could not close my report without acknowledging, with deep appreciation, the good will and kindly co-operation of the teachers and the uniform courtesy of the school committee.
Respectfully submitted,
U. G. WHEELER,
Superintendent of Schools.
