SCHOOL REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF NORWELL :
At the annual town meeting, held March 5, Mr. Samuel Tolman, Miss Hattie R. Gardner, Mrs. Mary E. Curtis, were chosen School Committee ; Mr. Tolman's term being for three years, Mrs. Cur- tis's, two years, and Miss Gardner's, one year.
The first meeting of the new Committee was held March 15, and the officers chosen were, Mr. Tolman, chairman, and Mrs. Curtis, secretary.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The length of.the school year is thirty-eight weeks, divided as follows : winter and spring terms, each thirteen weeks, and fall term of twelve weeks. We have lowered the wages of the teachers in some of the mixed schools, and raised the wages of others who had been doing the same work, and in some cases much more, for less money ; especially did we feel that the primary teachers were und r-paid, they having the largest schools in town and receiving the least pay.
An appropriation of $3.200 will be sufficient for the coming year.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
It does not seem to be quite understood that all the books, slates, paper, pencils, in fact everything that a pupil needs, are furnished him free of cost, and that it is no small matter to keep enough on hand for 200 pupils, an I to see that they have what they need, and at the time when they need it, so it was thought best to have all the school-books and supplies kept by one member of the Commit- tee (instead of each member keeping a few, as heretofore), that member to keep all the schools supplied, and we find the arrange- ment has been a good one, both for Committee and teachers.
42
During the vacation your Committee visited every school-house and stamped and numbered all the books. A record of them was then taken, so that we know just how many books of each kind there are in town, and just what school they are in, and if at any time a teacher calls for a number of books, and we do not have them on hand, we can get them from some school having extra copies, and thus save the expense of new ones.
TEACHERS.
Some changes have been made in our corps of teachers, and we now have ten teachers, nine of whom are our own townspeople.
Miss Mabelle K. Remick was engaged to succeed Miss Paulding in District No. 5, but taught only one term, and Miss Nina B. Croning was engaged to teach the fall term, and, meeting with good success, she still continues in her position. At the opening of the spring term, Miss Grace F. Hatch was transferred to District No. 3 from District No. 4, where she has taught ever since, giving good satisfaction. Miss Carrie M. Ford was engaged to fill the vacancy in District No. 4, where she is still teaching.
