ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWELL
FOR THE YEAR 1913
MARY E. CURTIS. School Committee of this town. 1888-1893. 1902-1913. LOVER OF YOUNG PEOPLE. An Efficient Educator. Faithful and Devoted Guardian of the Health, Morals and Scholarship of Norwell's Boys and Girls.
Tributes to Mary E. Curtis
MARY E. CURTIS.
It seems somehow to re-open the wound of separation which came to us last March to write in any way in ap- preciation of Mrs. Curtis. But as no adequate tribute to her has been placed upon permanent record we must at- tempt at this time the almost impossible task of describing the master-workman that she was. She threw herself heart, soul and body into the work of the schools, and her capacity for attending to details, as well as the larger problems was so great that she created a standard of public service that few will be able to measure up to as they take their turn in solving the school problems of our town. The impression made by her strong nature upon the minds and natures of the many hundreds of boys and girls who had the good fortune to be in school during her term of office was for progress. industry and decency. How many boys and girls have been brought face to face with their short-comings and weaknesses when standing before that searching eye of hers which seemed to reach the depths of their failings, and make them resolve. "never to have to face Mrs. Curtis again!" She was one of the School Committee while I was in the High School, and my colleague, warm-hearted friend. and sympathetic comrade for ten years in school work. and I never saw the situation. incipient riot or open rebellion which she could not handle as soon as she ar- rived on the scene. My own feelings as a boy in the High
94
School, when she gave us a good, old-fashioned talking to, must I believe, be typical of what all scholars coming under her influence, must have felt in some measure. Why. I felt like a very worm of the dust, as if I had sinned against Heaven, and in her sight, and had disgraced the Town of Norwell. I know that a healthy spirit of repentance and new resolve was born that day in guilty hearts.
I never saw the time all through my service as com- mittee when she neglected an important school duty. I know that she neglected to give herself sufficient rest many times but neglect school matters, never. She may have expressed her weariness with the grind and the friction of fretty details which the public knows not of. but I honestly believe that she would have worked twice as hard if she could have found the strength, for the upbuilding of our school system.
Her very strength made her sometimes seem unbending. Strong natures are that way. She made enemies, but few remained such long.
In her last years, stricken though she was, her work was. perhaps, more vital and far-reaching than in her days of greater health. Her achievement in 1911 in taking charge of the music at the High School. after it had fallen into a hopeless "slough of despond." was a marvel of success showing again her marked talent for organizing and leader- ship. In June 1912, she appeared before the State Board of Education at a special hearing in regard to our High School, and conducted the case for the Town of Norwell with convincing forcefulness. She was successful. of course, success was assured from the start for any cause which she earnestly espoused.
Something went out of Norwell's life, that day of last
95
Spring, something that we can never replace, save as we remember Mary E. Curtis and her fine qualities, and carry on her work.
GEORGE C. TURNER.
A TRIBUTE TO MRS. MARY E. CURTIS.
It seems but fitting at this time, that as senior member of the School Board, and as such have worked with her for a longer period than the other members, should add a few words of praise for the good and conscientious work done by my departed colleague Mrs. Mary E. Curtis. There are none who can appreciate the good work she accomplished in our schools so well as those who worked with her. She gave of the best she had and expected the best of others. One who was never discouraged. always looking on the bright side of everything, never complaining no matter what came upon her but would say " I suppose it is for the best." She was one who had an encouraging word for everyone no matter what her own troubles at that time might be. One whom the children loved and honored, to whom they could go with their troubles and sorrows and receive words of comfort and cheer. One whom the teachers honored and revered for they knew that she had their in- terest at heart and would assist and help them by giving of the best she had. No one could know her without feeling just a little better, her life was an inspiration, her memory a benediction.
BENJAMIN LORING.
Report of the School Committee of Norwell for the Year 1913
To the citizens of the Town of Norwell :
Some changes have been made in our corps of teachers during the past year, and although we were sorry to have to make so many changes, we were fortunate to secure good teachers to fill the vacancies.
Mr. Page, Miss Tolman, Miss Merritt, Miss Adams, Miss Towle and Miss Williams are continuing their work faithfully, and we feel that good progress is being made in all branches of their school work.
Miss Lynch and Miss Bernau, our new assistants at the High School, are both interested in the work and in the wel- fare of the school. Miss Drew at Dist. No. I. Grammar, is doing very good work, as is Mr. Osborne who is now in command at Dist. No. 5. Grammar. Mrs. Eldridge has had charge of the Drawing and is making the work very interesting. especially at the High School.
The school at Dist. Nos. 5 and 6 were closed for two weeks in the spring term on account of a few cases of scarlet fever, but the rooms were thoroughly fumigated at Dist. No. 5. and the disease was finally checked. In cases of sickness, of course, there is an excuse for absence, but that should be the only excuse. Every parent should make a special effort to send his children to school regularly, as
97
a child soon loses his interest who is allowed to be absent a day or two every week, and it is such hard work to try and keep up with the class work. Then if the child is not promoted at the end of the year, should it be the teacher's fault ?
It would be appreciated if the parents and friends would visit the schools during the coming year, and by so doing, show an interest in our schools, in our children, and in the teacher as well. Each teacher needs the encouragement of the parents in order to do his best work. Do not rely upon what others say as to whether our schools are carried on successfully or not, but see for yourself. It is often times the people who have no children in school, who especially delight in criticising what is being done.
We have tried to make our school rooms attractive and pleasant by providing curtains, whitening and painting walks and oiling floors. A number of slate boards from the unused room at Dist. No. 7 were moved to Dist. No. 6. making a great improvement in the general appearance of the room.
Shingling at Dist. No. I, and newly cording all the win- dows at the High School building have been expensive, but such needed repairs have to be made. The painting of Dist. No. 6 was another added expense, but a very reason- abe one, in the way in which we were able to have the work done.
Fire escape at Dist. Nos. I and 5, which are now under construction, were ordered by the State Inspector, and we were unable to put the matter off longer.
98
We hereby submit the following financial statement, and trust it will meet with the approval of those who have in- trusted the care of this work to us.
Yours respectfully,
BENJAMIN LORING, Chairman. CARRIE M. FORD. Secretary. GEORGE C. TURNER.
