To the Citizens of Norwell-


Owing to ill health I am obliged to resign from all town offices and ask to be released from my duties at the election of my successor.


Permit me to say that it is with feelings of regret that I sever my connections with associations that have always been of the most pleasant character.


Yours very respectfully, ALPHEUS THOMAS

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


OF THE


TOWN OF NORWELL


FOR THE YEAR 1908


School Report.


To the Citizens of Norwell:


In presenting to you our annual report, it may seem, that, year after year, we have the same criticisms to make, the same advice to give, but, if as a noted author has said, "Every day is a little life, and our whole life is but a day repeated," how can it be otherwise? And first we will speak of our School Buildings, which were repaired and cleaned during the long vacation. Dist. No. 5 school- house had to be shingled and the grounds graded a little, as much, in fact, as we thought we ought to afford. This building should be painted the coming year. Dist. No. 6 school-house should be painted inside, as, until we have that new school building which will accommodate all the pupils in this end of the town, this building will be in con- stant use. At Dist. No. 7 some minor repairs were made and at Dist. No. 1 it is not expected that much work will have to be done as we had to do quite a little work there this year.


The High School building should have the side walls painted or otherwise repaired as now they present a poor appearance, not what one might expect from a building used for a High School and Town Hall. The window sashes were in very bad shape but those have been paint- ed and put in good condition.


We were very sorry to lose our Superintendent, Mr. C. A. Harris, who left us in February to become Superintendent


90


in the Holliston district. He has been succeeded by Mr. James S. Hayes of Rockland, a teacher of long exper- ience and thoroughly familiar especially with the work of the common schools. Mr. Hayes is a graduate of the Bridgewater State Normal School, had taken a partial course at Harvard University, and had passed successfully the State Superintendent's examinations. Mr. Hayes' work has been very satisfactory. His visits are frequent and he is equally at home in a Primary, Grammar or High School.


Mr. A. B. Lewis, principal of our High School, left us at the close of the year and we secured the services of Mr. E. R. Bemis (formerly principal of the Medway High School) to take his place. As usual, we have had to change our assistants several times during the year. In January, 1908, when school began, Miss Bowen left us and Miss Prudence Curtiss of Hingham took her place; she stayed only two months and Miss Margaret Marshall of Rocklanp succeeded her. We are glad to state that Miss Marshall is with us now. Miss Edna Cullis, a most ex- cellent teacher, stayed only through the Spring term, resigning to accept a position in Adams, Mass. Miss Irene H. Fielding of Melrose, was engaged in Sep- tember as second assistant. On looking at the reports of other towns we find we are not alone in this matter, it seems that every country High School is but a training school and a good stepping stone to higher positions and better salaries in larger places. We have employed Mrs. Lillie C. Stoddard of North Scituate to give our High School pupils some instruction not really in music but in singing, paying for the same from the High School fund.


We wish it were possible to employ a teacher of music in our common schools; we have a drawing teacher, why not a music teacher? In every neighboring town music is taught in all the public schools and it is one of the requir- ments for admission to the State Normal schools.


91


Miss Gertrude Jones, who had taught drawing in town for a number of years, also resigned in June and we now employ Miss Bertha M. Tilden of Rockland, a student at the Normal Art School. Miss Tilden is doing very good work and the improvement in her department is very de- cided, as one teaher said, "She always has something new to give us." During the severe illness of Miss Varney, (No. 1 Primary) Miss Alice Griggs of this town, substitut- ed for her. Miss Varney being able to come back in Sept- ember, Miss Griggs was offered the position in No. 5 Grammar school, left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Neeley, but this she declined, having decided to enter another profession. We then hired Miss Nancy M. Buck- nam of Mattapan, a teacher of wide experience, for No. 5 and under her capable management the school is making good progress.


It was proposed that this year all the schools in town should unite for the Decoration Day exercises, but owing to an epidemic of whooping cough, Dist. No. 7 Primary was unable to be present.


All the other schools, however, came together and gave a very pleasing program which was much enjoyed by the large audience present. It is our earnest wish that these patriotic exercises may be continued and that our children shall be taught to revere the names of "Those who died that our country might live."


Our annual graduation has always been a pleasing affair and this year was no exception. The essays were well written and delivered, the music was of the best, while the appearance of the school as the pupils so slowly and gracefully took their places for the different numbers on the program, left nothing to be desired. It really seemed that those young people for that time at least, were thor- oughly imbued with the spirit of all that is best in educa- tion and that each deemed it a privilege and an honor to be called a pupil of the Norwell High School.


92


The dedication of the Lincoln tablet at the High School building on Nov. 20 was another pleasant and unusually interesting occasion.


The tablet is of bronze, on which is insribed Lincoln's famous speech at the dedication of the National cemetery at Gettysburgh and was obtained at a considerable cost, through the efforts of the Improvement League of the High School. All the essays and poems delivered on this occasion were original and certainly were deserving of much praise. We wish to thank Mrs. Thomas Gaffield of this town for her gift of two pictures, one of Washing- ton, the other of Sumner, which were unveiled at the same time.


We are very glad to say that the attendance the past year has been very much better than for several years as you may see by comparing the abstracts from the regist- ers. Yet it is not so good but that it might be better. Let each parent make an extra effort to keep his child in school every day. You will never regret it and the child will thank you for it in after years. We ought not to em- ploy a truant officer in our town, but we have had to do so several times, some parents forgetting the law which says that "Every child whose physical and mental condition is not such as to render his attendance impracticable, shall attend a public school and if he fails for five day sessions or ten half-day sessions within a period of six months, the parent or guardian shall upon complaint by a truant officer and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars." We would like to induce the par- ents and friends of our schools to visit them more often than they do. Why should you not do so? You would not employ a carpenter to build you a house, a man to plow your garden, a dressmaker or a milliner without going to consult them and see if things were going on as you would like to have them. But you will entrust your children, (your dearest possessions)


93


and their education to a teacher, whom actually in many cases you have not even seen. Not but what our teachers are to be trusted yet if they only knew and could be sure that they had your confidence, that you would uphold them in taking a course which they might consider right, and which the child often thinks to be wrong, how much better work could be done!


In the city of Boston, a society has been formed very re- cently for this very thing, that is, co-operation of parents and teachers.


If a parent has a grievance against a teacher, do not, we beg of you, mention it before your child, but go to the teacher and talk the matter over calmly, see if your child has stated the facts exactly, as they were, hear the teach- er's side of the story and we are very sure you will come away feeling that the teacher is trying to do the very best she knows for all concerned. Speak well of our teachers before your children and use your influence to have others do so. We have heard good, faithful teachers mocked and nick-named in public places (when children were present) by thoughtless people and we all know children always re- member such words.


In a recent issue of a popular magazine it is said that lack of respect and reverence are growing evils of the American people; let it not be so in this town, we can do much to prevent it. Let us, as loyal citizens of the town, form a co-operative society, working together with a will, not only to make our schools better but to make them best.


Respectfully submitted,

School Committee of Norwell.
