The vacancy in the South school was filled by the election of Miss Sylvia E. Prescott, of Natick. Although having limited experience, she is accomplishing good results and possesses quali- ties which make the successful teacher.
In the matter of attendance this school improves, though it may do better ; as has been said before, the teacher alone cannot bring about the best results ; the parents must do their part by their own interested efforts. For parental aid which has been noticeable in

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
many instances throughout the town, the Committee are grateful.
Regret was universally felt at the - resignation of Mr. W. I. Weeks, of the High school, he having been a most acceptable and able principal. Notice of the same coming too late to secure a permanent teacher for the opening week, a substitute was placed in the school until such could be decided upon. After consider- ing the merits of a large number of applicants, the Committee selected Mr. Walter W. Rowe, of Winchester, under whose man- agement the school is doing good, faithtul work, and is entirely worthy of the cordial support heretofore granted it by the town.
Mr. Rowe being a musician of considerable ability, instruction in music has been given by him twice a week to the pupils of the Grammar and High schools, thus supplying a need felt in that direction.
The teachers of longer experience with us need only a word of commendation from the Committee; their continued excellent standing is a true witness of the faithful work done by each.
The public exercises at the close of the spring term were very gratifying to parents and Committee ; in most instances the prompt answers and bright faces of the children told the hearty sympathy existing between teacher and scholar.
The resignation of our efficient Superintendent, Mr. George M. Wadsworth, was received in September. To lose him just at the time when his skilful work of the past year was proving itself and showing so plainly the helpfulness of the Supervisor, was a keen disappointment, since any change in the office at this juncture must be hurtful to the schools. Mr. Wadsworth, however, carried with him to his new position, the good will and well wishes of all those with whom he had been associated in his work here.
Mr. L. T. McKenney was unanimously elected by the Superin- tendency to fill this vacancy ; his labors thus far have been satis- factory, though time must be given him before fair judgment can be pronounced.
The schools we believe were never in such excellent condition, though equally good results are not obtained in all, nor could this reasonably be expected. A uniform plan of work is evident and good results cannot fail to continue. Just here the Committee would again urge more frequent visits from the parents ; let a per-

sonal inspection, at least once a term, assure the teachers of your cheerful interest ; thus inspiring them with new impetus to better results. While the exercises at the close of the year are interest- ing and should be attended, they are not always a true test of the every day work.
The graduating exercises of the High school took place on Thursday evening, June 25, and were well attended. The essays given showed thoughtful preparation, and were of unusual merit. The graduating class numbered four members : Ernest C. Beale, S. Bessie Cole, Annie I. Poore, Harry A. Preble. The diplomas were presented in a few well-chosen words by the Superintendent, Mr. George M. Wadsworth.
FLAGS.
During the early part of the school year, flags were secured through the joint exertions of the teachers and pupils, for three of the school buildings, namely, the Centre, North and East. This is evidence of a patriotic sentiment which, it is hoped may long be cherished. Appropriate exercises were observed in the different schools on the raising of the flags.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The Report of last year contained mention of the then poor sanitary condition of our High school building. This we are glad to state has been remedied by the erection, during the summer vacation, of a suitable outside building. The school-house has been well preserved, as may also be said of the District schools ; the latter are in need of inside cleansing in the way of painting and white-washing, which we hope may be done without unnecessary delay.
The schools throughout the town have been in session forty weeks during the year.
Whole number of children in the town May 1, 1891, between the ages of 5 and 15 years, 213.
Whole number of children in the town May 1, 1891, between the ages of S and 14 years, 114.
Owing to the limited number of children in the West District, this school building has been closed during the past year, the

pupils attending the schools in the centre of the town. As new families have moved into the district and the number of children of the school age is now greater, it may seem advisable to the Committee to reopen the building the coming year, or else pro- vide some means for conveying the children to the Centre schools. Should this be done, and the same number of weeks' session be continued, more money will be needed.
The Committee recommend that the town raise and appropriate the sum of $3,000 for regular school expenses, and an additional $300 for school supplies ; also $200 for salary of school superin- tendent.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF WILMINGTON :
I herewith submit my first report, the same being the second an- nual report of the Superintendent of schools under the district sys- tem of school supervision.
As I have been in charge of the schools only about four months, I can neither give a detailed statement of the work done during the year, nor. draw a fair comparison between this, and the previous year's work. But, judging from the work since the opening of the fall term, I am sure that commendable progress has been made through the whole year. The teachers are zealous and loyal to their profes- sion, and ambitious to keep in line with the spirit of progress that marks the methods of the new education. Good results are sure to follow.
COURSE OF STUDY.
For the teacher to succeed in securing the best results, she must know definitely what is expected to be taught, and understand clearly how to teach it. To this end I have outlined a course of study which has been submitted to, and approved by, the committee giving quite specific directions to teachers, thus making the course appear more elaborate than it is. But I am sure it embraces no more ground than can be covered thoroughly and well in schools as well graded as ours are at present.
I wish to call attention to some of the subjects in the course of study.
READING.
The reading constitutes a connected course, with the Davis Readers as a drill series and the Normal Readers, with other sup-
53
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
plementary reading, to give information on plants, animals and birds, and leads up in the last year of the grammar grade to "Masterpieces of American Literature," thus laying a foundation for the study of American and English literature in the high school ; while the "Story of Our Continent" and "Star-land " supplement the physical and astronomical geograpy of the text book and lead easily to elementary words in geology and astronomy in the high school.
Thus, it will be seen that, while the reading course aims to make the pupil a good reader, it has also a definite purpose at the end, furnishes a valuable fund of information, and cultivates a taste for good reading. When carried out. I believe something of the idea of Dr. McAllister may be realized, who says : "More can be got out of it that tends to cultivate the minds of the pupils than any other in the course. It has a moral power, and a refining power, and an elevating influence that can be found nowhere else."
NATURE STUDY.
It is not the object of this part of the course to make scientists of the pupils, but to open their eyes to the beauties aud wonders about them : not so much to teach them what is found within the covers of text books as to teach them to read the great book of Nature that lies open everywhere before them ; and as another has said : "To give pupils, who are walking through the ordinary school curriculum by faith, some opportunity to walk by sight, to give them some op- portunity to get information at first-hand, while they are compelled to get so much at second-hand."
This part of the course is not original with me, but has been taken from that used in the Andover schools, with slight changes. As evidence that such a course is not impracticable, I quote from the school report of that town the following : "It has been proved that a knowledge of botany, mineralogy and zoology can be successfully taught in the elementary school."
DRAWING.
Drawing has been made one of the regular subjects in the course. The Prang system has been introduced and so arranged that there will be regular, progressive work for pupils in every year in school, thus training the taste and the hand as well as the eye.
54

FLAGS ON SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The beautiful idea of raising the Stars and Stripes on our schools is both wise and patriotic, and may be made an impressive object lesson in history. To this end I would suggest that the flag be raised on the following days and that the pupils' attention be always called to the event commemorated.
This will not prevent the flag being raised on other days at the option of the teacher.

REFERENCE BOOKS.
One of the most important lessons, is to teach pupils to acquire information for themselves by consulting reference books. Of course this cannot be done unless there are reference books accessible to the pupils. Our school building at the Centre, where there are four schools, ought to be furnished with a good cyclopedia. It would be found to be very useful, especially for the grammar, and high school pupils, and perhaps not less valuable to the teachers. No more profitable investment could be made, and I trust that this serious deficiency in our school appliances will receive early attention.
55
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
CONCLUSION.
Considering the present condition of our schools, supplied as they are, with the most essential element of success, faithful and efficient teachers ; managed by an active, and progressive Committee, and supported by a generous public, we may reasonably entertain high hopes for the future.
I wish to express my high appreciation of the enthusiastic efforts of the teachers, and the hearty good will with which they have co-operated with me in my work. I desire to express to the Com- mittee my hearty thanks for the generous attention they have given to all my suggestions, and for their confidence and assistance.
Respectfully Submitted,
