Report of School Superintendent.


To the members of the School Committee:


A brief report appended to yours, of the work done in the schools the past year, may be of interest to the citizens, and, especially so, as this is the first year the schools have been under district supervision. By some, undoubtedly, it is regarded as an experiment, and a few may fail to see any advantage gained over the old regime. In many towns of the Commonwealth it has become an established and essential factor in the progress and prosperity of the schools. From the programme of the New England Superintendents' Asso- ciation last spring, it was seen that the schools of 231 towns and cities of Massachusetts were under skilled supervision. This is a good showing, and is evident proof that the system is superior to the old and has come to stay. It is not neces- sary in this report to enumerate the advantages to the schools from district supervision, as it is supposed they were stated previous to the town's voting to form such a union.


Our schools, however, form a most important department in the administration of our town affairs, and in the minds of the people, they naturally acquire a large share of interest, for they seem to become a part of the daily life of the people. They hear from them from day to day, and know more or less of the subjects of discussion and the general workings in them. It is of the highest importance that the schools should be good schools, and the influence of the teachers and the work done by them be the best.


I am satisfied that improvement has been made in the


78


schools the past year, but there is still room for greater im- provement. Good schools are not of mushroom growth, but are the production of years.


ATTENDANCE.


In some of the schools the attendance has been quite good, in others it might have been better. If parents took a deeper and more active interest in the schools and in the welfare and progress of their children, the attendance would be better.


Could they realize the importance of the pupil's presence at every recitation, a part, at least, of the absence would disappear. Even if the lessons are made up, the same amount of time cannot be given to them as was given in the class, and the pupils lose the aid the teacher gives in the recitation, which in many lessons is necessary for the proper understanding of the succeeding lesson. The labor involved in hearing these lost lessons is by no means slight, and the teacher's work is laborious enough without increasing the burden.


COURSE OF STUDY AND METHODS.


The course of study printed in the report of 1889 has not been followed to a great extent. Changes must necessarily occur, as new ideas and methods of instruction are introduced. It is desirable to revise the course the coming year, and, as soon as possible, a copy of the revision will be presented to to you for examination.


READING.


Particular attention has been paid to reading during the year, and the improvement made is quite satisfactory. It is often found that a school has its peculiar and charac- teristic tone in reading, which is noticeable through all the grades. To overcome this has been the aim of the teach-


79


er. Some have accomplished better results than others. After a pupil has once acquired an unnatural tone in reading, it is very difficult for him to overcome it. It is only by the constant practice and hard work of the teacher that the defect disappears. An educator says :


" From the commencement, learning to read should be made as little mechanical and as intelligible as pos- sible. The alphabet method is obsolete, or at least should be. The child is now taught to read by recognizing the words as signs or ideas, without giving any attention to the elements which compose these words. They learn to recog. nize the words by their forms in just the same way as they learn to recognize other objects. The teacher begins by talking to the children about some particular object which she holds in her hand ; as a bell, ball, top, etc. The object of the teacher is to get the children to talk freely, so she asks many questions ; such as, shape, size, color, uses, place, etc. If she has a picture of the object, she shows them that ; then she writes the word on the blackboard and says, this means the same as the picture, and we call it the word ball, bell, top, etc. If there is a chart in the room, she turns to that, and finding the word in several places, she calls upon one of of the pupils to point out the word, which is quickly done. Then another pupil is called to find a similar word, and so on." By this method children learn to read better and in much less time than under the old system.


Until within a few years comparatively little change was made in the reading books from what they were thirty and forty years ago. It is rightly said : "It is the only subject that has not kept pace with educational advancement. That the majority of reading books are wanting in interest, want- ing in beauty, and, too frequently, wanting in sense."


As the greater part of our information comes from reading, it is certainly essential that the greatest care should be exer- cised in making a selection of what should be read. The


80


object of the reading lesson is not only for the pupil to learn to read but to think ; that is, he should read intelligibly and intelligently. In some schools the reading book is put aside after the second reader, and classics for children are intro- duced. These have been graded to suit the age and ability of the pupil.


"The important results arising from the use of these classics as reading books," says a writer, "are the training of taste and the imagination. The training of taste provides a constant source of satisfaction and innocent pleasure. The taste for good books can always be gratified, a gratification giving not only the deepest pleasure, but bringing the reader directly in the range of the greatest influence. A pupil whose taste is trained to the enjoyment of Ivanhoe and Tom Brown at Rugby, will not read cheap news-stand litera- ture. This fact alone is sufficient reason why children should read good books."


Many school boards, in order to cultivate a taste for good reading, have introduced into their schools many of these classics as supplementary reading. By following a pre- scribed course, the pupils as they pass through the schools will read a number of good books, and know something about them. I would recommend their introduction into our schools the coming year, as they cost no more than the ordi- mary reading book.


GEOGRAPHY.


In the studying of geography, the first three years should include talks on form, place, position, common animals, plants and minerals. The object of these lessons is to impart such knowledge as will make the study of geography inter- esting, intelligible and profitable. The fourth year, local geography is taught ; that is, the geography of the town. During the year this has been taught in all the grades, so the pupils have got a good geographical knowledge of their own town, at least.


81


The following topics were given to the teachers early in the spring term : Position in the county and state, boun- daries, length and width, villages. hills, valleys, brooks, ponds, rivers (source and mouth ), population, schools, churches, stores, public buildings, halls, streets. railroads, climate, seasons, soil. manufactured articles, vegetable pro- ductions. These were written upon the black-board. or on large sheets of paper hung upon the walls-the writing legible in all parts of the room. As no printed maps of the town could be had, it was drawn upon the board, and. as the topics were recited they were marked upon the map. In In all the higher grades, geography is taught topically. The topics for continent, country and state were given to the teachers at a teachers' meeting, and these, like the topics of the town, were written either upon the board or paper.


It is more profitable, and certainly more interesting for the pupil, to know what we get from China and how it is pre- pared, the customs of the people, the great wall, and what our country sends there, than to be able to name all its capes, bays and lakes. The majority of the so-called map questions in the geographies are of no importance whatever. and valuable time is lost in teaching them.


ARITHMETIC.


In the lower grades, the teaching of numbers is far differ- ent from the old-time method. Instead of drilling year after year upon the dry and meaningless tables, the pupils get their ideas of numbers by means of visible objects ; such as splints, blocks, shoe-pegs, horse-chestnuts, etc. Placing these objects in their hands, they learn rapidly the various combinations of numbers. The four fundamental principles, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, are taught at the same time, and also the fractional parts of a number. It is just as easy for the pupil, when he knows that two and two are four, to learn that four less two is two, that


82


two times two are four, that four divided by two is two, and that one half of four is two. From such instruction the pupil soon becomes familiar with the fractional parts, which, under the old method, were not reached until the fifth or sixth grade. In the arithmetic for the higher grades there is a large amount of useless matter that should be left out ; such as banking, insurance, custom house business, commission, etc. The pupils when they enter the High School should be able to read and write numbers rapidly, to add long columns of figures, to subtract, multiply and divide large numbers quickly and accurately, to understand thoroughly common and decimal fractions, to know weights and measures, and have a good knowledge of measurements (as carpeting, plastering, measuring wood, capacity of cisterns, etc.), to understand a few cases of percentage, and compute simple interest. The boy that is well grounded in the above principles on leaving school, will have enough knowledge of arithmetic for any business or profession he may choose to follow.


WRITING AND DRAWING.


An examination of the drawing and copy books will show very good work, but there is large room for improvement. A definite amount to be done each day is required, and the same length of time is given in all the schools for completing it. This arrangement produces uniformity, and at the close of the year the same amount of work will be done in all the schools.


TEACHERS' MEETINGS.


The object of these meetings is to help the teachers do better work in the school room. That they have been highly successful is clearly evident from the work done the past year. At these meetings the best methods of teaching are introduced and explained. The teachers are directed in their work. The subjects taught are taken up grade by


83


grade, and suggestions and explanations given as to the most effectual way of presenting them to the class. The work for written tests is planned, and the schools do the required work in a given time. The teachers become better acquaint- ed with one another, and a knowledge of how and what each teacher is doing creates a spirit of enthusiasm and stimulates them to do better work.


CHANGE OF TEACHERS.


The only changes that have occurred are in Nos. 3 and 4. Miss Fuller, at the close of the summer term, sent in her resignation, and Miss Elliot was elected to fill the vacancy. No. 4 has been very unfortunate, having had four teachers during the year, and the result of this change is clearly seen in the work of the school. It is earnestly hoped the school will be more fortunate the coming year and regain the rank and position it should have among the other schools.


SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.


Whenever the work in the schools can be made more effectual, it should be done, though the expense be a little more, for good schools are the pride of a town. The room used for a primary school in No. 7 is too small and incon- venient. The school numbers twenty-nine pupils-too many to be placed in so small a room. The teacher has but few facilities for doing the work which is necessary and required in the lower grades. The building should be enlarged. If it is necessary to lay the matter before the town to be acted upon at the annual town meeting, I hope it will be done. The other school buildings are in very good condition, and but little repairing will be necessary. During the summer vacation they should be thoroughly cleaned and the black- boards given a good coating of the preparation.

HIGH SCHOOL.


This school is in an excellent condition. Under the effi- cient management and instruction of Mr. Blood and his assistant, the classes have performed very satisfactory work. The scholars are attentive to their studies, and the order of the school is all that could be desired.


It is to be regretted that the teaching of Chemistry and Physics cannot be made more interesting and instructive by the use of experiments, but the smallness of the recitation room prevents this. Mr. Blood suggests a plan for enlarg- ing the room, which is worth your consideration, and I would advise consultation with him about it.


The many visits made to the schools (155 from April to February ) have given me sufficient opportunity of observing the teachers' work, and the efforts made to improve them- selves and advance their schools. The cheerfulness and promptness they have shown in receiving and carrying out my suggestions, and the friendly feeling existing between them and their pupils, is worthy of commendation. I would urge the parents to visit the schools, and judge for them- selves whether the work was thoroughly and satisfactorily done. Their appearance in the schools will be welcomed by the teachers, and it will lend an additional incitement to the pupils to do better work.


Respectfully submitted,


A. J. CURTIS, Supt. of Schools.

FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


TOWN OFFICERS OF NORWELL,


FOR THE YEAR 1895.


To the Citizens of Norwell :-


We submit for your inspection the forty-sixth annual re- port of the receipts and expenditures of the town for the year 1895, and trust that a perusal of the same will prove satis- factory.


As ordered by the Honorable County Commissioners the work on Main street has been completed the past year in a very satisfactory manner. Upon petition to the County Commissioners an allowance of four hundred dollars was made by the County towards aiding the town for the im- provements made on the street which they considered was ben- eficial to some extent to the citizens of neighboring towns.


The expense for the support of poor the past year does not exceed the record in that department of late years. At the commencement of the Superintendent's year, April 1, we secured the services of Mr. George B. Rolf and wife to take charge of the Almshouse, they have so far as our knowledge goes, performed the duties faithfully and well, neatness and improvements are discernible both in and out of the house. Many of the items inserted in the almshouse expen-


6


ses are for articles and improvements made, which were nec- essary for the comfort and convenience of the house, and only apparently are expenses of the past year. One inmate has died during the year, namely : Andrew Turner. There are at present 4 inmates.


The expense to the Town for support of poor outside the Almshouse was $1,449.63 and for Soldiers' relief $152.50, making a total of $1,602.13, as against $1,771.62 in 1894.


With a gradual shrinkage in our National Bank and Cor- poration Tax, receipts and a less Town valuation, we should use economy in making appropriations for the coming year, if we are to retain our present tax rate.


We have received the following communication from Thomas Gaffield, Esq., and will ask the town to act on the same at the annual meeting.


NORWELL, August 28, 1895.


To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell :-


Gentlemen : I have purchased the land lying between River street, Forest avenue and Forest street, and desire to present it to the Town of Norwell for a Children's Park, with the condition that the wood shall be forever preserved and the grounds maintained in good condition for the use of the children of the Town for a picnic and playground. I will send a deed whenever you notify me that my proposition is agreeable to your Board and the people of the Town.


Yours truly, THOMAS GAFFIELD.
