ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWELL
FOR THE YEAR 1906
Report of the School Committee.
To the Citizens of Norwell :
With all the changes that have come to our schools the past year, we have been fortunate in one thing, and that is, that we have been able to keep our superintendent, Mr. C. A. Harris. Mr. Harris devotes himself unceasingly to his work and is always ready at any time to give advice and assistance to teachers or committee. Mr. Harris has made, in this town alone, the past year, over one hundred calls, beside keeping every school in supplies, hiring teachers, and doing a multitude of things necessary to keep the schools in running order.
TEACHERS.
Jan. 1, 1906, our teaching force was as follows :
High School, Principal, John E. DeMeyer ; First Assist- ant, Marion D. Ames ; Second Assistant, Maude A. Reed.
District No. 1, Grammar School, Eva F. McClellan. Primary school, Sarah F. Richardson.
District No. 5, Grammar school, Martha C. Scully. Primary school, Marion G. Merritt.
District No. 6, mixed school, Jeannette A. Dawson.
District No. 7, Primary school, Maria W. Tolman. Drawing teacher, A. Gertrude Jones.
72
Of these ten teachers, Dec, 31. 1906, but five remain with us. Mr. DeMeyer was the first to leave us, resign- ing May 1, to accept the position of Superintendent of Schools in Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury. We were very sorry to lose Mr. DeMeyer and with only eight weeks remaining before graduation, we were almost at a loss to know just what to do. But Mr. DeMeyer kindly volun- teered to come up from Scituate and assist the new prin- cipal in his work, especially with the graduating class, and after a hurried trip to Maine he secured for us the services of Mr. A. B. Lewis, a senior in Bates college for four weeks and Mr. C. P. Durell, an experienced teacher, for the remainder of the term. We were so much pleased with the work of Mr. Lewis during that short time that at a meeting of the committee, he was elected principal for the next year. The next to leave us was Miss Reed, who had been second assistant in the High school. Miss Reed felt that she was deserving of more pay, which we were not able to give, and so she left us. As her successor, we secured Miss Sarah M. Damon, a Radcliffe graduate.
During the summer vacation we received the resignation of Miss Sarah F. Richardson, who for some years had been a successful and dearly loved teacher in District No. 1, primary. As Miss Richardson contemplated entering the marriage state, we had nothing to say, except that we deeply regretted her departure. We succeeded in finding a successor to Miss Richardson in Miss Sarah E. Peterson, a graduate of Bridgewater Normal school, and although she came to us without experience, (except in the work of the Model school at Bridgewater) yet she has met with the best of success in a very large school. Upon the resigna- tion of Miss Dawson in District No. 6, we were fortunate enough to secure Miss Mary F. Kauffmann's services as a
73
substitute for the remainder of the year. Miss Kauffmann left us in June and accepted a much better position in Duxbury.
In September, Miss Eva S. Burns, a graduate of our own High school and the Hyannis Normal school, assumed charge of District No. 6 and her work thus far has been very satisfactory. The next to leave was Miss Mclellan from District No. 1 Grammar School, to accept a more lucrative position in Brockton. Then it was that we tried to reward Miss Scully, who had taught long and faithfully in District No. 5 by giving her this school in her own dis- trict. And then to find a teacher for No. 5 Grammar school became one of the most difficult tasks it has ever been our lot to undertake. For three weeks we tried in every way to find a suitable candidate, but in vain. When we mentioned 45 pupils, in three grades, at ten dollars per week, that was enough, not one could we get. After trying five agencies in Boston with no success, at the sixth, we at last obtained a substitute, (Miss H. S. Farwell) for two weeks, but then only by paying twelve dollars per week.
Year after year we lose the best of teachers because we are unable to advance the salaries we now pay. But this must not continue, we must pay better wages. It has been truly said that everything advances but wages. Look at the price of board, for instance, compared with that of twenty or even ten years ago ; a teacher then got first-class board for three dollars or at most three and one-half dollars per week, now board can be obtained at neither hotel nor private family at less than five dollars per week. People say, "We cannot afford to board a person for any less than five dollars at the present high prices for food," and that is right. And again, if a teacher worked every week in the year it would be a different matter, but instead, in our
74
common schools we have only thirty-eight weeks, at nine dollars per week for primary teachers making $342 for a year's work, or an average wage of $6.58 per week, just think of that ! It is claimed by eminent authorities, that it is only by employing teachers whose homes are in the town, that many of our country towns are able to obtain, in many instances, as good teachers as they do, and our town is no exception.
REPAIRS.
As is usual in the summer vacation all the schoolhouses and outbuildings were thoroughly cleaned, stoves and fun- nels put in order and everything put in readiness for the opening of schools. In District No. 1 the outbuildings had to be enlarged, the fact being made necessary by the great increase in the number of pupils. The building received also a new coat of paint on the outside and the primary room was greatly improved by being treated to new Mur- esco on the walls and paint on the woodwork.
Some more work should be done on the halls of this building the coming year, but the expense of this will be met out of the regular appropriation. The primary room in District No. 5 and the halls also, received a fresh coat of paint and are much improved thereby. The schoolhouse in No. 5 should be painted on the outside during the summer as it stands very much in need of it at present. Something should be done about providing a suitable heating plant for our High School building. We now have to keep four fires and then the building is not warm. One day quite re- cently, a steady cold day with no wind blowing, at nine o'clock the thermometer registered just 32 degrees. No room of that temperature is a suitable place in which to
75
hold a session of school. Last summer vacation, a reputable firm of plumbers offered to put a furnace into the building and guaranteed to heat if for a very low figure, (about $300). Cannot some action be taken to have this done ; it will be a wise outlay of money to our minds.
OUR SCHOOLS.
Let us consider for a little, a few of the most important questions in regard to the schools of our town. First of all is the old and ever recurring question of attendance. Have you, fathers and mothers, sent your children to school every day that you possibly could do so, the past year ?
If so, why do we have to employ truant officers and why are there so many absent marks on the registers? In our town there is absolutely no excuse for a child to remain away from school while in good health. Our children are among the favored ones of this country, all, almost with exception, enjoying comfortable homes with kind parents to care for them, good schools, the benefits of a Public Library, churches and Sunday Schools, free to all, and really knowing nothing of the poverty and sorrow of many of the children of our cities. Will you oblige us by exam- ining the abstract from the registers? Why, in nearly every case it is not so good as last year, can you not help to raise the per cent. of attendance for next year? The comfortable barges provided for the transportation of our pupils make "going to school" seem easy when compared with the distances walked by many in years past. Parents you have something to think of right here! No superin- tendent, or barge driver can make your child behave on the barge ; it is you alone who are responsible for the be- havior of the children. Tell your child when he starts out
76
in the morning, to behave himself and see that he does. When he comes home at night with tales of how other children behaved, find out if he did just right himself, it takes two to make a quarrel we have always heard. No good driver having the care of a pair of horses, oftentimes with the roads in bad condition, can be turning around too often to see what is going on behind him. You would not allow your child to make a disturbance on an electric or steam car, and why should he do so on any other public conveyance ? Your committee have had, several times, to deny some child the privilege of riding, but have you upheld us ? If each parent will just agree to make his child behave during the coming year, the system will be greatly benefited.
Even the health of children is watched over by the legisla- ture of our state. Last winter a law wsa passed, whereby an eye and ear test has to be made at least once a year by the teacher and a notice of any defect in either case is sent the parent. In our town alone several cases of defective sight have been found and a very few of defective hearing. And still another law which reads thus, "Whenever a child shows symptoms of smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, chick- enpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria or influenza, tonsilitis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies or trachoma, he shall be sent home immediately, or as soon as safe and proper conveyance can be found, and the board of health shall at once be notified," this law being designed to prevent the spread of contagious diseases which have so often caused the closing of our schools. Last year, if you remember, we asked you to reserve your criticisms of the teacher until the children were out of hearing, and in a recent issue of a pop- ular magazine, we saw an article by one of the most popular writers of children's stories, in which she says, "Have you
77
ever reflected that after your children enter on their school days, they spend more time with the teacher than with you ? The teacher impresses their minds with her ideas and shows them her ideals. They have studied their profession and bring to it courage, faith and enthusiasm. The teacher is usually very much loved by her pupils. When they dislike her, treat her with disrespect or suspicion, there is a fault somewhere, and ordinarily that fault lurks in the home atti- tude." Is not this all true ? Your looks or even the tones of your voice let the children know how you feel toward the teacher. Make the teacher your friend, visit your children in their school rooms, interest yourself in their lessons, let them understand that at present nothing but their education is to be first and foremost, that without an education they would indeed be unfitted to battle with life and its prob- lems. While so much is being done by both State and town for the children's benefit, let us try to teach them to appreciate it, and in after years to bring honor and not dis- honor on the name of our town. "Let the school help you, and on your part help the school."
Respectfully Submitted,
BENJAMIN LORING, GEORGE C. TURNER, MARY E. CURTIS, School Committee of Norwell.
