Absences occur from various causes, e. g., sickness, stormy weather, visiting, working at home or elsewhere, improper clothing, truancy, and other causes to trivial to mention. Only one cause is a really satisfactory excuse, viz., sickness.
The law reads that a child shall attend school the "entire time." This does not mean part of the time however large. Of course occasional cases of tardiness and dismissals are inevitable, but they should not reach the chronic stage.
It is not generally known that if a pupil "whose physical condition is not such as to render his attendance at school harmful or impracticable," fails to attend school "for five day sessions or ten half-day sessions within any period of six months," the parent or guardian is liable to a fine of $20. Severe in some cases perhaps, but the policy of the state is attendance during the "entire time."
During the first month of this school year (19 days,) there were in the town of Norwell alone, 478 half-day absences.
If the parents would realize what a boom it would be to our school system, if the absences were reduced to the minimum, and would co-operate with us in effecting the same, better results would, of necessity, follow.
Again, it is not generally known that a note from the parent asking to have a pupil excused for tardiness or
90
dismissed, does not suffice. A written excuse or request for dismissal should contain the reason why such request is made. In other words, the school authorities have a right to know just what a pupil is doing during school hours.
TEXT BOOKS AND MAPS.
The text books in the town, for the most part, are excellent. Still several hundred dollars could be spent at once without the slightest chance of charging your committee with extrav- agance. Some new books should be introduced ; others that have done good service and that are now coverless, torn and unclean, should be discarded. Publishers are glad to allow something for this dilapidated material, so these books are not a total loss.
Classical maps, which are emphatically indispensible to the comprehensive study of latin and ancient history, should be purchased for use in the High school. I have observed sev- eral books in use here that are very much out of date.
Nothing could do more for your High school pupils than to furnish them with the above mentioned supplies, thus making the training received by Norwell pupils at the hands of an efficient corps of teachers, doubly desirable.
Dr. Frank A. Hill, secretary of the board of education from 1894-1903, said : "Making children use worn and unclean books is as bad as making them wear soiled and ragged clothes. It saves a few dollars, no doubt, to squeeze another year's use out of overworked text books ; but what about the pupils loss of interest in such books ? What about his offended aesthetic sense ? What about the germs of disease, even, that extreme carelessness here begets ? There are losses here, realized and threatened, beside which the money saving, looks paltry and mean."
All the new books should be covered to insure greater cleanliness, healthfulness aud longer wear. This can be done for about one-third of a cent per book.
91
COURSE OF STUDY.
Although a definite course of study has been pursued heretofore, there is none now used in printed form. This seriously handicaps a teacher, especially one with little or no experience. A course in history for all grades below the High school has been distributed to the teachers ; also a partial course in geography. Other outlines are to follow.
EDUCATIONAL PERIODICALS.
I suggest that a small sum of money be used for subscrip- tions to leading educational periodicals for the benefit of the teachers; these to be circulated according to some fixed plan, and then bound and placed on file. This would help to broaden the views of all, and ought to increase professional spirit and teaching. The requisite amount of money could be taken from the Massachusetts School Fund and not from the town appropriation.
In conclusion I wish to thank the teachers .and committee for their loyalty and support.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES A. HARRIS.
