REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1873-4.
Citizens of Wilmington.
In obedience to the law of the Commonwealth, requiring the School Committee to make an Annual Report of the progress and condition of the Public Schools under their charge, we submit the following :
The appointment of teachers was at the first a subject claiming careful consideration by the Committe, as it always has been and must continue to be identified with the success or failure of any particular school. Yet we are not insensi- ble to the fact, that influences outside of the school room are sometimes allowed to hinder or retard the influence of the best of teachers in their work for the good of the scholar.
And now the school year being closed, your Committee feel most confident that they were fortunate in the employ- ment of teachers. There have been no changes in any of the schools, excepting the west, but the same teachers as last year were retained through this entire school year. And this course we think has been attended with marked bene- ficial results to the cause for which schools are established and maintained. The teacher who has the advantage of a pre- vious acquaintance of the circumstances and peculiarities of cach scholar, can more readily bring the results of past experience to bear at once, in an easy and proper manner, to correct and avoid whatever is wrong in tendency, and therefore hindering the timid and bewildered scholar from entering upon the exercise and work of real, profitable and advancing study. And just here, is seen the true merit and worth of the teacher, whose skill and general adaptation to 4
26
the work, can secure the interest and attention of the child to school exercises, and thus gaining for him the ready ability to apply the natural faculties of his mind to a given point, and that in the direction of true healthful mental progress. When this is gained, a very valuable and import- ant point is secured, the ability to study, to learn, to investigate.
And when followed up closely term after term by the same judicions and faithful teacher, who justly shares in the triumphs of honorable success, with the consciousness of having advanced his pupils in the line of manly, honorable and scholarly attainments.
But. whenever and wherever this success, in some good de- gree, is not attained, it is apparent at a single glance, that the school fails,-and fails more disastrously than we are accus- tomed to imagine. The effect upon the child who attends the school opened for its benefit, and yet is not favorably interested in its exercises and appointments, will not long remain indifferent ; but soon will feel a positive aversion to just what is required of him for his own improvement and best good, And in all his course thus, improvement is not his aim, but following out his inclinations and feelings, prefeis present indolent case, rather than submit to a course of mental application and study.
And here, to do, or not to do, is the question for parents and teachers, for the friends of education and good order to consider, as you regard the present good, and future welfare of the child. Is it not, indeed, very apparent that the child who through and by his carly methods of thought and feel- ing, by his desire to evade doing what should be done to acquire useful knowledge and mental strength, habits are here being formed which, if not carly corrected, will be like- ly, yca, surely, to follow on, and on, and finally to cripple the energies of manhood to all noble and good enterprises, and prove a disturbing clement to society.
We by no means wish to imply but what there is a large majority of all the scholars in our schools who are honest,
- 27
studious, and even enthusiastic, and we have noticed with peculiar satisfaction, the decorous manner and evident dili- gence with which many of the scholars have applied them- selves, and it meets our warmest approbation. It is a high compliment to teachers, to the parents of such scholars, and affords evidence of the estimate in which school privileges are held. We wish to see this number greatly increased. It is every way desirable that it should be ; so that the edu- cating force and power of our schools may be as widely extended as possible.
And for this purpose, we say avoid unnecessary changes in teachers; those who have shown capacity to teach,-to manage,-directing all the affairs of the school with discre- tion, should be retained.
And then, the obligation is binding upon the parents to cheerfully sustain the teacher, by a hearty sympathy and co-operation in all the general and difficult work of helping on in every thing that pertains to the improvement and suc- cess of the school. There should not be that wide latitude that too frequently exists between the authority of the parent, the home influence, and the school. For the real interests are identical, and should be so regarded, and if this is admit- ted, then the necessity follows that parents must insist that their children regularly and promptly attend school, Let this always be accompanied with suitable encouragement to the child, and proper motives applied, and the result will prove highly beneficial to the child, the family, and the com- munity.

The moral sentiment and tone which our schools impart to the youth of the town, we are free to say, must ever be regarded as an element not to be overlooked or lightly esteemed, in all the period and course of education. It is absolutely needed. And we are therefore glad to be able to state that there is much in the impartation of instruction through our schools, that point to the side of virtue and sound morality. It is greatly to be desired that this much should be increased, and be attended with such influences as will firmly establish in the mind just principles of right, and shield all our children from the low courses of vice and crime.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The improved condition of School Houses, as compared with what previously existed, is now a noticeable and cheer- ing fact.
The Centre School House having been during the last season subjected to a general course of repairs, and sup- plied with new and improved seats and furniture through- out, which makes the school-room present a cheerful and inviting appearance, and was enjoyed by teacher and schol- ars in a profitable and happy manner ; in short, we are con- fident that the improvement of the school-room contributed directly to the success and improvement of the school.
29
And now we wish to tender our thanks and acknowledg- ments to the scholars of this school, and others, where pleas- ant school-rooms are enjoyed and have been furnished with new and convenient furniture, for your considerate careful- ness in its complete preservation. Carefulness is a virtue. Continue to exercise and practice it in all things, and you will not be wanting in the confidence and esteem of your fellows.
The East School House is now in that condition when some important repairs are absolutely needed, not only for the preservation of the building, but also for the comfort and health of the scholars. And as this matter will come up at the next annual meeting of the town, we trust, there -. fore, and expect, that the town will exercise its judgment with fairness, and meet the case in a worthy and creditable manner.
The High School was first opened September 1871, and has been continued in the hands of the same able and energetic teacher, with evident increasing interest and efficiency. The salutary and elevating influence of this school is being felt in all parts of the town. This is attested by the activity and general interest of the scholars who are connected with it, and by diffusing a healthful stimulus through all the other schools of the town; and also by improving the tone of public sentiment respecting the general subject of education as connected with schools. And now we feel, we think, that this school is doing a work most nobly and thoroughly for these scholars, which, were it not for this school, would have been largely left undone, to the serious detriment of these youth, and entailing thereby sad loss to the commu- nity. And now let this newly aroused activity in the pur- suit of knowledge and culture be continued, with right motives of heart and mind, unabated by these scholars through the entire period of their youth, so that we all may be cheered by anticipating what their manhood may become in its relations with the world of mankind.
In closing we would recommend that the town make such appropriations of money as will sustain the schools and carry
30
forward the cause of education, knowing that it is the cause of the town, and by it the town is directly affected in its prosperity or failure. It is important to duly consider this whole matter in all its vital relations to society, and so act under a keen sense of individual obligation and duty, as that the result of our action shall not be a reproach to us in the future.
It is thought necessary now, that a more systematic course of study should be adopted in this school than was found practical in its carlier stages, and therefore the School Committee, after consultation, have decided to adopt sub- stantially the following as a three years course of study.
FIRST YEAR.
