SCHOOL REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF NORWELL :
At the annual town meeting in March, Miss Hattie R. Gardner was re-elected for a term of three years; but to the regret of all, she felt obliged to resign in December, 1889, and it being so near the close of the year and the annual meeting, her place has not been filled.
The officers of the board are the same as last year, viz., Mr. Samuel Tolman, chairman ; Mrs. Mary E. Curtis, secretary.
GENERAL REMARKS.
Although still keeping our school year of thirty-eight weeks, we have made a slight change in the matter of vacations by giving our scholars a week at Christmas, thus shortening the spring vaca- tion by one week.
We have now two primary schools in Districts 1 and 7 ; five mixed schools in Districts 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 ; two grammar schools in Districts 1 and 7, and a High School.
Our primary teachers receive $247 per year; mixed schools, $285 ; grammar schools, 8342 ; High School, $800.
Taking into consideration that our schools are very small (with few exceptions), we think that we pay fair salaries, although not as much as we would like to pay, for a school teacher never can be overpaid. An appropriation of $3,200 will be sufficient for the coming year.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
We have had to purchase few new books this year, except for our High School, as by our new system of keeping an account of them, we have changed from one school to another.
As you will readily see, our High School books must necessarily cost us considerable, as the studies there, after the first year, are
40
all different from the district schools ; but after next year, when the first class will graduate, we shall have all we need ; the books being handed down from one class to the other next lower. We must have some new and different reading books for our lower- grade schools. We have received the criticism that our scholars are poor readers ; we knew it, but what can be expected when they have to read the same pieces over and over again? You do not like to read yesterday's paper over again to-day, and to-morrow and the next day ; and another reason, a pupil learns so many more new words by reading in several books.
You say, "My child can't read a word outside of his reading book"; and why? The answer is, because he has had no practice except in that very reading book.
We know of a town in Massachusetts where the scholars have fifteen different reading books during the first year, and are never allowed to read the same piece twice, and as a result, they have the credit of being the best readers in the State.
We do not ask for as many as that, but can't we have at least six sets ?
TEACHERS.
We have heen most fortunate in keeping the same teachers we had last year through this year, with one exception. Miss Croning resigned in September, and Miss Marion G. Merritt, a Normal scholar and a resident of our town, was chosen as her successor, and giving good satisfaction during her first term, we were very glad to continue employing her.
Our teachers now are :-

We are sure that it would be hard to find a town in which all the teachers are as faithful and efficient as our own.
41
Any changes or suggestions that we have seen fit to make have been cheerfully and carefully followed, when in some cases much more outside work was occasioned thereby.
BUILDINGS.
During the summer vacation we had the school-room in District No. 4 kalsomined and whitewashed, as this was left out when the others were done the year before.
We will say right here, that our rooms have been kept very neat and clean, and on going into them. you can scarcely believe that the kalsomine has been on one year, or that the rooms receive a thorough cleaning but once during the year.
The schoolhouse in District No. 5 needs painting, and we would recommend an appropriation of $90 for the purpose.
OUR SCHOOLS.
Let us first take a look at the primary classes in our schools and see what the little folks are doing.
Just visit them for an hour, let them read for you, or write a little story, or explain an example so well that you are astonished, or read writing (as they call it) as quickly as you can yourself, and we are sure you will say, " I do not see how they can learn so much in so short a time."
When the lessons are over, then comes the " Busy Work," such as drawing from pictures on slates or blackboard, laying colored splints to form designs, tracing pictures through perforated cards, making words from letters, and many other "working plays" which teachers know so well ; surely it is no wonder that our little ones love their school and their teacher.
Then the scholars of the grammar grades are just as busy and just as happy, reciting well any lesson that you may wish to hear, and very anxious to let you know how far they have studied in each. They will show you a good-looking drawing book, or on the blackboard you may see some of their original designs put on in colored chalk, or a nice map ; and if some one pupil has a special talent for drawing ships, engines or any other object, he is allowed to exercise his talent, and you will often see a drawing that would do credit to older heads and hands.
42
How much better work these scholars accomplish, knowing, as they do, that when lessons are learned or recited, they can have something to do which seems to them almost like play, and still we know that it is teaching them all the while, training eyes to see correctly. and hands to move rapidly and skilfully.
Didn't we used to get tired of studying from morning till night, and wish that such an institution as a school never had been thought of? How much happier would our school life have been if some variation had been brought into OUR work! It is surely very true that " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
And now come with us into our High School and see the bright faces of forty of our young people ; are you not proud of them and of the work which they are doing ?
They have now all arrived at an age where they begin to ap- preciate an education, and not to think that schools are places contrived by people for the torment of children.
We know you would enjoy hearing them recite even a lesson in chemistry, as we did one day ; and thinking as you do, no doubt, that it must be a very dull and rather useless study, imagine our surprise and pleasure when they began to talk of carbon in its dif- ferent forms, the diamond, its uses, and where found, plumbago or black lead, and the making of pencils, charcoal, soot, lamp-black, and other forms which we had seen and known all our lives and never thought we were studying chemistry.
And so it is with all the studies, each and every one is applied to the every-day life of the pupil as far as possible, and the very studies which you may term most useless of all are the ones which are doing them the most good.
In October, we began the use of deportment cards, to be made out by the teacher for each scholar every month, and then carried home to receive the parent's signature.
The scholars are marked daily in each recitation and at the end of the month receive written examinations, and from these two per cents the average is found.
We are delighted with the impetus which they seem to have given, not only to the work of the schools but to the matter of attendance ; by looking at the " abstract from the registers," you will notice that the highest percentage of attendance for the year was during the fall term.
43
TO THE FRIENDS OF OUR SCHOOLS :
Last year we tried to impress on your minds the importance of keeping the children in school, but it would almost seem as if our time was wasted. Just look at the miserable record of some of the districts ; now we know that there is no need of such looking registers. If appealing to the parents has no effect this year, we must and shall apply the strictest truant laws.
Parents, do you tell your children that without an education they can do nothing? Or, do you say (as we know of one boy in this town, age, eleven years, who told his teacher) that he " shouldn't come to school much this winter, it was too cold, and education didn't amount to anything" ? Such ideas never origi- nated in that child's own head, he heard older people express them first.
We know that there are people, not parents very often, who will say, "' I have done well enough and I never went to school but a short time ; I never went to a high school." Doesn't it seem strange that it never occurs to them that perhaps they could have done better, risen higher in the world, done what they have done much easier, if they had gone to school more?
Parents, you, and you only, are to blame for the non-attendance of your children ; if it so happens that a child cannot go to school in the morning, send him in the afternoon, he can't afford to lose a whole day ; if he can't go on Monday, do not keep him at home all the week, for then one twelfth of that term is gone.
' If you were digging for gold (where gold was plenty), do you suppose anything would keep you away from the mine?
Your child's education is HIS gold, his school is the mine; send him every day and be sure he will dig a good supply.
We are very happy to say that during this year there has been less faultfinding than for many a year before, and we hope that you are beginning to know that a teacher is not always in the wrong, and that a teacher's life is not all play and sunshine. We know very well that a teacher is in the school-room but six hours a day, but does her work and worry stop when the school-room door is shut at night? No, far from it, there is much to be done out of school hours, lessons are to be looked over, work to be cor- rected, many anxious thoughts has she, as to whether she has done the best thing for each one of those under her care, so don't envy
44
a teacher her position or the few dollars which she earns ; she de- serves all she gets and much more.
We have received a visit from Mr. Geo. H. Martin, agent of the Board of Education ; he, with your committee, visited every school in town, and at the close of his visits he gave an interesting and instructive talk to both committee and teachers, telling us of our faults in his kindly way and suggesting some remedy for each.
He visited our schools four years ago, and, on this last visit, noticing the improvements that had been made in our school sys- tem, he told us that the schools of our town had improved the most since his last visit of those of any town in Plymouth County. He spoke of the great advance that had been made by the estab- lishment of our High School, also of the good-looking school- rooms so well supplied with the materials for successful work.
Now, friends, we have not yet the best schools that can be had, so let us not stop advancing until we have reached the point where our friend of the Board of Education will say, "You have the very best schools in all Plymouth County."
Respectfully submitted,
MARY E. CURTIS. SAMUEL TOLMAN.
