SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Members of the School Committee :
The work done in the schools has been similar to last year's, and the same care and interest shown by the teachers and pupils.
Changes among the teachers have occurred in the High school and in Nos. 3 and 6.
After a service of five years Mr. Blood resigned his posi- tion. His school work was thorough and satisfactory, as the number of pupils that have entered the Normal schools shows.
In a selection of a teacher to fill the vacancy, you were ex- ceedingly fortunate. Mr. Record is an experienced teacher, and the interest he has shown, since he entered upon his du- ties, indicates that the standard of the school will be main- tained.
At the end of the winter term Miss Lulu Tilden resigned her position in No. 6, and Mrs. Nellie Sparrell, at her own request, was transferred from No. 3 to this school.
Miss Mary Bailey taught the spring term in No. 3, but dur- ing the summer vacation sent in her resignation, having se- cured a position in another town. Miss Bessie Merritt was elected to the vacancy, which she has filled very acceptably. During the summer Miss Morton, teacher of drawing in the High school, resigned to accept a position in Chelsea, and Miss Jones, a Norwell girl and graduate of our High school, succeeded her. Miss Jones has charge of the drawing in the Whitman, Rockland and Hanover schools, and her work is very satisfactory.
Could the schools below the High school have the benefit
14
of a drawing teacher, more efficient results would be secured. One day a week would be sufficient, which would allow each school to be visited every two weeks.
Concerning drawing, a Massachusetts superintendent says : "Drawing should develop the child to see accurately, truly, and with insight, and the complementary part of this is the training of the hand to express the true image conceived in the brain. The right idea of proportions, accuracy of ex- pression in all things, freedom from exaggeration, and a clear perception of the right line of truth are some of the results. The practical advantage of drawing should not be lost sight of, and the work so shaped that all, whatever the occupation, will be thankful to have learned to draw in youth. There should be placed before the pupils copies of the standard works of art, casts, works of coloring of high order and copies of the best designs in architecture. The habit of see- ing good works of art cultivates the taste for that which is good, makes it possible to appreciate the beautiful, and gives greater enjoyment to life. Much good work could be done in this line by citizens and patrons of the schools in forming themselves into an organization to study school-room decor- ation and from time to time give pictures or statuary, and thereby help to develop that faculty in the children which is too little noticed."
The introduction of vertical writing into the schools has been productive of good results, and in the legibility of the writing there is marked improvement.
The gradual replacing of the old and worn-out blackboards with slate, and the changing of the double desks to the sin- gle desk and chair are two very important things that will be greatly appreciated by the teachers and pupils. The double seats and desks are objectionable in many ways, and they are fast giving way to the single desk and chair. Where the double desks are used the appearance of the school is not so pleasing ; it is not so orderly and quiet, for children will whisper and play when such excellent opportunities are afford- ed them ; the discipline of the school is more exacting ; com- plaints are frequent of one pupil taking the property of the
I5
other ; the self-reliance of the pupil is diminished by copying his work from his neighbor ; the health of the pupil may be impaired ; and the best results in writing and drawing cannot be obtained, for the desks are not of sufficient width to allow the pupil to assume a correct and comfortable position. A change in desks has already been made in two schools, and if one or two could be furnished each year the expense would hardly be noticeable.
READING.
One of the greatest aids of increasing the utility of the schools is supplementary reading. By it the pupil obtains a broader and more comprehensive knowledge of his respective studies.
It is now conceded by all educators that school instruction should be supplemented by reading matter for use by the pupils both in the school and in the home. Nearly all the publishing houses are issuing books which are intended to meet the needs of all children of school age; from those who have just mastered the primer to those who are about to finish the high school course. Some of the books supple- ment the ordinary school readers, as a means of teaching reading ; some re-enforce the instruction in geography, his- tory and natural science ; while others are specially designed to cultivate a taste for good literature.
By the addition of a few series each year, in a few years the schools would be quite well provided with supplementary reading.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
As the law regarding school attendance and the employ- ment of children has been materially changed, three princi- pal sections are here stated :- "Every child between seven and fourteen years of age shall attend some public day school in the town or city in which he resides during the en- tire time the public day schools are in session, subject to
16
such exceptions as are provided for in sections of this act. Every habitual absentee, that is, every child between seven and sixteen years of age, who may be found wandering about in the streets or public places of any town or city of the Com- monwealth, having no lawful occupation, habitually not at- tending school, and growing up in idleness and ignorance, upon complaint by a truant officer or any other person, and conviction thereof, may be committed, if a boy, at the discre- tion of the court, to a county truant school for a period not exceeding two years, or to the Lyman school for boys, unless such child is placed on probation as provided in section twenty-eight of this act.
"No child under fourteen years of age shall be employed in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment. No such child shall be employed in any work performed for wages or other compensation, to whomsoever payable, during the hours when the public schools of the town or city in which he resides are in session, nor be employed at any work be- fore the hour of six o'clock in the morning or after the hour of seven o'clock in the evening."
From the preceding sections it is seen, that children from seven to fourteen years of age are expected to attend school the entire school year, and that no child under fourteen can be employed in any work for wages while the schools are in session. Fortunately we have had no habitual truants dur- ing the past year. Once in a while the truant officer has been requested to look up a child, which he has done quick- ly and efficiently.

Superintendent of Schools.

To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
The Selectmen respectfully submit the Fiftieth Annual Report of the several departments as follows :
SCHOOLS.
The schools are now fully in charge of the School Com- mittee, as on request of that Board, the matter of drawing orders and the corresponding duty of keeping their accounts was given into their hands, as we are satisfied the law provides.
HIGHWAYS.
The town voted to divide the money raised for repairs ac- cording to the number of miles in each district. We accord- ingly had the roads measured and found fifty and six-tenths miles in the aggregate, and after paying a few general bills for repairs to machines and tools, the balance was divided as voted, and the number of miles and amount of money for each district is shown in the report of each Surveyor.
· UNION BRIDGE.
The necessary contracts for a new bridge have been let as follows :
Steel bridge and cylinder piers to Pittsburg Bridge Co., $5,100 00
Abutments to R. D. Shanahan, 1,300 00
One-half the above to be paid by the town of Marshfield.
Grading in Norwell to John W. Burns for 162 00
There will also be bills for a few new planks and for lighting, printing and surveying.
The County of Plymouth is to contribute toward the cost,
1,000 00
6
GAFFIELD PARK.
The report shows a small sum to the credit of the park, derived from trees blown down in the gale, and we think this sum should be used in improving the grounds at some time in the near future.
POOR DEPARTMENT.
The Overseers of the Poor show in their report a slight de- crease of cost, amounting to $83.44, and except for one case, that of Mrs. Edwin C. Litchfield and five children, now located in the town of Whitman, we would present a much bet- ter showing. But as we have been obliged to allow in this case $349.23, and as there are six in the family and none of them old enough to earn anything towards their support, and as three are of such age that we are not allowed to keep them at the almshouse if we should bring the family there, we have seen no way to care for them at any less cost to the town.
In the case of Gustavus Totman the charge for rent will not, we think, need to appear again as the allowance has been stopped.
We are trying to place Joseph S. Litchfield in a family as a boarder, at a saving to the town, and shall do so if we can obtain the consent of those in charge of the insane.
The almshouse has remained in charge of F. L. Smith and wife, and is in good condition, and calls forth only good re- ports from the State inspectors.
