Miss Nettie Buck taught the South School the fall and winter terms, with a good degree of success. There was a great falling off in the attendance in the South and West schools the winter term. We believe this non-attendance was partly on account of the weather, but mainly the indifference manifested by the parents. We do not propose to waste words upon this subject, as enough has been written in the past ; but will only say, that if parents choose to uphold their children in resisting whole- some authority and throw away the benefits of our public schools, they will one day reap as they sow. The attendance in the East School is worthy of special mention. There were thirteen names registered during the winter term, with an av-
32
erage attendance of (12.5) twelve and five tenths. Mr. C. H. Scholefield taught the High School the spring term. He labored faithfully for the best good of his pupils, and tried to instill those principles which lead to true manhood and noble woman- hood ; yet there were a few boys who seemed alike insensible to reproof or entreaty, and consequently retarded the pros- perity of the school.
The closing examination gave good evidence of thorough instruction in many of the branches taught.
The graduation exercises took place in the evening, June 23, 1887, and were interesting and enjoyahle. Following are the names of those who graduated : -
FRANCENE A. BUCK.
FLORENCE E. FOLKINS
MATTIE A. GILLISPIE.
EMMA A. MURRAY.
SARAH P. GOWING.
CARRIE M. SWAIN.
G. ARTHUR SIDELINKER.
CHARLES HAMLIN.
ALDICE G. EAMES.
HORACE S. BUCK.
JOSEPH DOUCETTE.
Mr. Frank Carter, of this town, taught the fall term, and is teaching the winter term (not completed at the time of writing this report). Born to command, he finds no difficulty in the matter of discipline, prompt in action and thorough in instruc- tion, ever willing to help those who help themselves, he does not spare the sluggard or the truant. Miss Carrie M. Swain rendered valuable assistance in teaching the grammar and writ -. ing classes in this school during the fall term. As there has been some change in the course of study in the High School, there will be no class to graduate the coming year. We had hoped in this report to be able to congratulate the town upon the completion of its new High School building, but that is still in the unfathomed abyss of possibility. We have urged its claims ever since the High School was established, and will close by saying, as we did in the report of 1872, that we hope our town's people will lay aside all party spirit, and unite in supporting such measures as will tend to build us up as a people, that Wilmington, fair in her natural proportions,.
33
may take her place in the front rank with sister towns in whatever tends to promote education, morality, and true prosperity.
