Superintendent's Report.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND CITIZENS OF NORWELL
I herewith submit for your consideration my third annual report.
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
In addition to the regular reading lessons at school, pupils should read at home interesting, instructive and profitable books suggested by the teachers. At school the teacher should strive to secure good oral reading to be sure, but this does not involve a training in elocution. Elocutionary read- ing is an accomplishment, perhaps, but what persons need most is an extensive reading course that will have a broaden- ing effect. Elocutionary reading may be very superficial and shallow in its scope, whereas well-directed extensive reading is unquestionably broadening. To read well and to acquire the habit of reading are by no means identical, and the latter is by far to be prized.
At home this reading for the most part is silent reading, and this being the kind in which almost all persons exclu- sively participate, should be encouraged to the utmost. In order to stimulate this reading books for supplementary reading at home might at intervals be purchased. The moral value of reading books that arouse the sympathies and result in right action is inestimable.
106
TEACHERS' MEETING.
One teachers' meeting was held in each town during the fall term. Subjects of the following nature were treated : Health of the pupil ; care of school property ; tidiness of room ; pupils' failings ; facts about the school register ; teachers' mistakes ; suggestions for the the teacher's profes- sional growth ; morals and manners; pedagogy, including five formal steps, methods of testing knowledge, methods of calling on pupils, methods of instruction ; numerous miscel- laneous suggestions. An opportunity was given for discus- sion.
SIGHT AND HEARING TESTS.
The sight and hearing tests have been made by the teachers with the following results :
Number of pupils enrolled 245
Number defective in eyesight 37
Number defective in hearing 12
Number of parents or guardians notified 46
FAULTY CURRICULA.
Courses of studies in many rural towns need revision. Much that is taught does not interest the pupil nor meet the demand of the times. We are devoting too much time to some subjects, and neglecting others that are of as much, if not more, value. For example, let us speak of two subjects that need, like an unruly boy, a judicious shaking up. It is almost farcical to spend our time on certain parts of arith- metic that are purely technical and conventional, add equally absurd to squander time on grammar as a purely technical subject. They both lack interest, and can be supplanted by something more utilitarian. By this I mean that to be well grounded in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
107
fractions, tables of money, weights and measures, percent- age and simple interest suffices for the majority ; and to spend much time on involution, evolution, metric system, partial payments, ratio and proportion, and intricate and complicated puzzles in other parts of arithmetic is to deprive the boy or girl from acquiring something else of more inter- est and value.
Again, the value of grammar that requires the daily pars- ing of every word in the sentence, and the daily use of dia- grams is much overestimated.
A popular delusion is, however, that if the course is to be enriched it must come within the scope of the High school.
To be sure we do need more modern ideas infused into our High school curricula of to-day. We must grant that pu- pils are pursuing the traditional trend, regardless of interest or commercial value of the subjects prescribed. If is much easier to go along the line of least resistance than otherwise. Pupils of High school age should have the opportunity to pursue courses that are of practical and vocational value as well as disciplinary and cultural. Discipline and power can be acquired, however, without the study of some of our tra- ditional subjects, e. g., Greek and Latin. Greek should be forever relegated to the college, and Latin elected by only the few that can profit thereby. Too many almost waste their time by attempting to acquire a knowledge of these dead languages with no particular end in view. It is not that they have not gained anything by the study of the sub- ject, but that they could have acquired considerably more had they spent their time on something else of more interest. A few pupils might profitably pursue the study of the classics, but I am speaking of the majority.
The schools are for all. To meet the needs of the major- ity does not suffice, and since we shall have pupils anxious to receive a classical training, we cannot wholly and perman- ently eradicate it from the course. We don't want to if there is a demand for it.
108
On the other hand, if the schools are for all, then we must have courses for those who do not care for some of the branches prescribed. I am hinting at the courses in man- ual training, vocational and industrial work. That these be placed in the curricula of today is a popular demand. Those parents whose boys and girls wish to pursue the above-men- tioned courses have as much claim upon the townspeople for the maintenance of such courses as the others have for a course that is prescribed. They pay taxes which support in part the course that is given. As I have said the schools to meet the needs of the times are for all. Therefore a de- mand to meet the requirements of those desiring a business course or any other reasonable course is just.
I do not say that we can have a multitude of courses given at our High schools. We can't. But we are just as much under the obligation to those tax payers whose children wish other courses.
My point is this : If it is not advisable and expedient to install additional courses in our High school, the alternative is to pay the tuition of all those who wish to profit by a course more suitable and desirable in other schools where such instruction is given, provided such schools are ap- proved by the school committee. Anything else, it seems to me is unjust.
Although I have voiced my opinion in favor of other courses for girls and boys of High school age, yet I believe that to place this work in the High school and neglect need- ed manuel instruction throughout the lower grades is abso- lutely wrong and unfair. Should this be done, we would be depriving many who cannot go to the High school from the very training they need-even more than those who be- come High school graduates.
Pupils are obliged by law to attend school until they at- tain the age of 14. Up to that point, then, is the very time that we should train them in a very elementary way at first, but nevertheless train them in some manual or vocational
109
work, preferably the former. If we consider this work proper only as a culmination of High school work, it is, as it were, shingling the house before laying the foundation.
The work then ought to be placed in your grades below the High school. If we can afford to place it in all the schools, it is well. If, however, this cannot be done, the place to begin is at the bottom of the educational ladder.
I have unbounded confidence in and sympathy for the boy or girl who cannot enjoy High school privileges. He is the one to be helped first. The others from the very fact that they have had several more years more schooling should be all the more capable and prepared to shift for themselves if circumstances compel.
In the primary and grammar schools we should have paper-folding, card board construction, elementary and ad- vanced knife work, weaving sewing, elementary woodwork, courses in elementary agriculture, etc.
The drift and gist of my argument is briefly this: Our courses need revision by the elimination of some subjects and the substitution of others. A business course in the High school is all right, but if the town can't afford to give corre- sponding courses in the lower grades at the same time, the place to begin is in the lower grades in order to ensure the instruction of all before attaining the age of fourteen.
SUGGESTION.
At the Ridge Hill primary school we have an enrolment of 47, far too many for one teacher. In fact this number is too large for even a school of the upper grades, therefore, much more so for a school made up of children of the first four grades. Something should be done at once in order to get the desired results. This school ought to be divided by giving the first two grades to one teacher and grades three and four to another. This arrangement would not only be admirable, but effective. Better work would necessarily be the resultant.
IIŐ
Since there isn't the requisite room in the building unless the upper room be also used for a primary school, the build- ing at Ridge Hill should be devoted exclusively to the first four grades, with the first two down stairs, and the third and fourth up stairs.
The question that naturally follows is-Where are we going to put the pupils of the grammar school? To this I reply that since the conveyance of the pupils is the policy of the town, why not carry it one step further and thereby make an almost ideal condition.
The grammar school pupils, who now occupy the upper room of the Ridge Hill building may be transported, to No. 2. now closed, and at the same time transport the grammar school pupils at No. 5 to No. 2, putting grades five and six on one floor and seven and eight on the other. The result would be that each teacher will have two grades instead of four, and again material advance will be made. Somewhat more inconvenient to some, perhaps, but the pupils will be the gainers. By the adoption of this plan so much more work could be done by both grammar teachers and pupils; then pupils could enter the High school directly from the eighth year, thereby doing away with the ninth grade, and thus affording an opportunity to enlarge the scope of the High school.
The next question that arises is: Are we going to leave No. 5 upper room vacant? By no means. The whole build- ing will then be used for the primary scholars, grades one and two on one floor, and grades three and four on the other. Each school will be rather small to be sure, but No. 6 may be permanently closed, and the pupils here who are members of the first four grades may be properly distributed at No. 5.
What have we gained by these steps. Much. We have all the schools mentioned made up of only two grades, an excel- lent and great improvement. Before this we had four grades .
per teacher. Each pupil would then get twice as much time from the teacher as under the present arrangement.
III
Your schools ought to be equal to any in the state by that classification. Isn't it worth considering ? We are not try- ing to lessen the work of the teacher merely, but are trying to make conditions such that the pupils will be the gainers.
The number of teachers would remain the same, one building opened, another closed.
In conclusion I wish to extend to the teachers and com- mittee my profound appreciation for their suggestions, loyalty and support, and to the citizens for their co-operation in every phase of school work.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES A. HARRIS.
