ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


OF THE


TOWN OF NORWELL


FOR THE YEAR 1903.


ROCKLAND : THE ROCKLAND STANDARD PUB. CO. PRINT.


1904.


Report of the School Committee.


To the Citizens of Norwell.


At the annual town meeting in March. 1903, Mr. George C. Turner was elected a member of the School Committee for a term of three years. The Committee organized with Mr. Loring, Chairman, and Mrs. Curtis, Secretary.


SUPERVISION.


We are more than pleased that we have been able to retain the services of our popular Superintendent, Mr. C. A. Record. At the meeting of the joint committee of the towns of Han- over, Hanson, and Norwell, on April 11. 1903, he was unan- imously re-elected and has served us, as heretofore, faithfully and well.


TEACHERS.


Miss Louise E. Ford, who had taught in our town for a number of years, resigned her position at the end of the fall term, and was succeeded by Miss Minnie G. Robbins, a grad- uate of our High school and of the Normal school at Framn- ingham. Her work has been very satisfactory.


To our great regret, Miss Adella F. Nichols, sent in her resignation at the end of the school year and has been suc- ceeded by Miss M. Abbie Packard of our town, a graduate of Hanover High school and the Quincy Training school. Miss Packard had been teaching the past year in Marshfield and her work with us has been of the best.


76


TRANSPORTATION.


As it was again the vote of the town to transport the pupils, the Committee gave the contracts to the following persons on routes and at prices named . Charles E. Brewster, from No. I to High School, $12 per week. Wm. T. Lapham, pupils from District No. 2 to District No. 5 and back to Higli School, $8.50 per week. James L. Litchfield, pupils from Nos. 4 and 6 to No. 5 Grammar School and back to No. 6 Primary School, $10 per week. Mrs. E. L. Loring, pupils from No. 3 to District No. 5 and High School. $10 per week. C. D. Barnard, No. 7 to High School, $8 per week.


We feel sure that the transportation system has come to stay, as by that means, every pupil living at any great dis- tance from the schoolhouse has no excuse for non-attendance, but is carried to and from school in comfortable conveyances. with careful drivers. But notwithstanding transportation and everything else that has been done for the pupils, the attendance in some of the schools is miserable. Cannot some- thing be done to make parents and guardians realize the importance of keeping the children in school ? Excuses are offered for non-attendance at school which would be consid- ered ridiculous by these same parents did anyone offer them


such excuses. We do not expect children to attend school if they are not able, but if they came every day when they were able, the attendance would be much better than noiv. We have arranged these transportation routes just the very best that we knew how, and in such a manner as to accommodate the greatest number of pupils. It is impossible, as you will readily understand, to pass everyone's house or to start at a time that will exactly meet everyone's approval. A large majority of the children who are transported are much better accommodated than when the district system was maintained. They attend school more regularly and do more and better work.


77


PUBLIC EVENTS OF THE - YEAR.


The annual Memorial Day exercises were held in the Unitarian church, as was the case last year, and were enjoyed very much by the large audience present.


Departing from our usual custom, the graduating exercises of the High school were held in the church at Assinippi, in- stead of at the Town hall, as heretofore. And, as it proved a very pleasant change, we shall continue the innovation, hold- ing the exercises next year in the church at Norwell Center.


By invitation of the Rev. E. H. Keens, the graduating class listened to an excellent and practical baccalaureate ser- mon on Sunday, June 14, to which also the other members . of the High school and friends were invited.


Other pleasant events of the year were the Christmas exer- cises which nearly every school held at the end of the fall term at which parents and friends are always welcome. We earnestly wish that more would avail themselves of these invitations. You have no idea how much it encourages both teacher and pupils to have an audience when they have worked hard to prepare the exercises.


We have now enrolled in our schools outside of the High school, 184 pupils and we employ eight teachers ; these pupils could be taught better by five teachers if they were in one building. Just look at the salaries that would be saved, be- sides fuel, janitor's wages and repairs. We pay now for trans- portation nearly enough to transport all the pupils in town if they all went to the same building. You say, "Oh, we can- not let our children go so far from home to attend school." Why not? The children are well cared for. Times have changed-we cannot with the present state of affairs in our town maintain schools in every district. Your children are better accommodated than you were.


Even in cities, children do not always attend the schools nearest them by any means, but have to walk fully as far and farther in many cases than do our children.


78


Our primary teachers, to whose charge the little ones are entrusted, are as careful of their health and welfare as are the mothers.


With the graded schools of the present time a teacher has more time to study the needs of each scholar than was for- merly the case when a teacher had an ungraded school of forty or more scholars, with classes in every study from kindergar- ten to High school work. In District No. I there are only thirty pupils in both schools, while in District No. 7 there are but twenty-nine. Cannot the townspeople see that some- thing must be done, and that at once. We cannot afford to hire four teachers when two could do this work and more beside if our schools were only in one central building.


Let us take counsel together at the annual meeting and try to decide what can be done for the best interests of the schools of our town. Let us not go backward but forward in the matter of educating our children. Build one good building, place all the schools therein. In the beginning it will be an expense, but in the end we shall find that we have inade a great advance in educational matters, and that our schools compare more than favorably with those of other towns of even larger size.


Respectfully submitted, BENJAMIN LORING, GEORGE C. TURNER, MARY E. CURTIS, School Committee of Norwell.
