ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF WILMINGTON,
FOR THE YEAR 1888.
-
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
In presenting this, our Annual Report, we think that we are warranted in saying that our district schools are, as a whole, in fully as good condition as we have ever known of their being, and their progress has been very satisfactory.
THE NORTH SCHOOL
Has been under the care of Miss Nettie M. Buck during the year, and she has not only maintained her former good record, but has excelled her former efforts for success. Although this school is not quite as large as for two or three years past, still there is no lack of interest. Fail- ures in recitations in this school are of rare occurrence. The singing forms a very pleasing part of the exercises, and, as conducted by Miss Buck, reflects credit on both teacher and scholars.
THE EAST SCHOOL
Has been under the care of. Miss Charlotte S. Buck dur- ing the entire year, and, as in all of her previous expe- rience as a teacher, every thing seems to move with almost mechanical punctuality and promptness. The Roll of Honor in this school has been remarkable for several years, and reflects credit on teacher, parents, and scholars. Singing in this school has also been a pleasing success.
46
THE WEST SCHOOL
Was, during the spring term, under the care of Miss Emily M. Buck. This was Miss Buck's first experience at teaching, and, although she took the school under rather unfavorable circumstances, yet she very soon ingratiated herself into the good-will of both parents and scholars, and success was forthwith achieved.
This school, during the spring term, had twenty-two scholars enrolled on the register, the most of whom lived in what was formerly the Centre District, and, as the Centre was overcrowded, the Committee requested all those living west of Church Street and South of the Old Mill brook to attend the West, thus relieving the crowded con- dition of the Centre and filling up the West to a profit- able number. Some of the parents at first thought it un- reasonable to oblige their children to walk a greater dis- tance than they had been accustomed to do, but on being told by the Committee that as soon as the new school building was ready for occupancy and a new school was formed from the first classes from all of the other schools, that there would be room in the Centre school, and then they could attend there, they gradually saw the reasona- bleness of the request and acted in accordance.
At the beginning of the fall term the Committee decided to close the school, as there were not more than four or five scholars who would be likely to attend were it in session. The Committee were aware of the dissatisfaction on the part of some of the residents of that district, but the Town's appropriation for the common schools was not sufficient to maintain five district schools and also to form a new school to be known as the grammar school. Thus their action in the premises seemed justifiable.
47
THE SOUTH SCHOOL
Was, during the spring term, under the care of Miss Winefred Emerson, of Reading. This was Miss Emerson's first experience at teaching, and, considering her age and the irregular attendance of her scholars she could not be expected to show so brilliant achievements as teachers of years of experience, yet her endeavors were crowned with satisfactory results. The fall and winter terms were taught by Miss Emily M. Buck, who was transferred from the West school. Miss Buck, although having had the experi- ence of only one term before taking this school, yet had very good success and possesses qualities requisite for a suc- cessful teacher.
THE CENTRE SCHOOL
Has been under the care of Miss Blan Alexander for the entire year, and the school shows the advantage of re- taining experienced teachers, when we find teacher and scholars working so harmoniously. Miss Alexander has the reins of government in her school well in hand, and every thing goes on with clock-like regularity. Although her first class of the spring term were transferred to the new school, still their places were filled at the beginning of the fall term, so that at the present time her school is about as large as ever. This school was transferred about the first of October to the new school building, which trans- fer was the occasion of joy and gladness on the part of teacher and scholars.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
When the town appropriated money to build a new school building, it was understood that a new departure was to be inaugurated, inasmuch as we were to resolve
48
our schools into a graded system as far as practicable, and the conditions of some of our schools were such that the sooner such a thing was begun the better. Conse- quently at the commencement of the fall term the first class of each of the district schools was taken, and a school formed in the new building, and is designated the Grammar School.
This school has been under the charge of Mr. O. T. Curtis, of North Woburn. Mr. Curtis was well recom- mended, especially on account of his musical and elocu- tionary qualifications.
His methods of instruction in some branches are novel, and his scholars displayed considerable proficiency, but in the matter of discipline we have been somewhat disap- pointed. Some scholars, whose deportment when in the district schools was most exemplary, showed that want of respect which is absolutely necessary for the mantenance of good discipline, and proved the adage that " Eternal vigilance is the price of success."
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
This school has been under the care of Mr. Frank Carter during the entire year. Mr. Carter has fully main- tained his former good record as instructor and disciplina- rian, and we are of the opinion that the standard of the school is growing higher and will, even now, compare favorably with the High schools of larger towns than ours.
SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The citizens of the town may congratulate themselves that the "New School Building," which has been the subject of considerable contention, is completed, and is
49
thoroughly built, and well lighted, and heated, and worthy to rank with any building of its size in this vicinity. At its completion your committee decided that an event so important to the educational interests of the town should be observed in an appropriate manner. They ac- cordingly invited Hon. John W. Dickinson, Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, to be with us on that day. He very kindly accepted the invitation, and, in company with one of your Committee, visited the South and Centre schools.
In the afternoon on the arrival of Mr. George A. Wal- ton, Agent of the State Board of Education, they met the teachers and pupils of all the schools in the new building. Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Walton, after listening to the singing by the school children, under the direction of Mr. Curtis, made short addresses, which were highly enjoyed by all present.
At half past seven o'clock, in response to a general invitation, the citizens filled the large hall to take part in the ceremonies. The exercises commenced with singing by our "Male Quartette"; reading of the Scriptures, by the Rev. Mr. Thurston; dedicatory prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Harmon ; delivery of the keys, by Mr. Richard L. Folkins, Chairman of the Building Committee, with appropriate re- marks, to the Chairman of the School Committee, who responded briefly, after which the audience listened atten- tively to very interesting addresses by Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Walton, who gave much good advice on educational matters and congratulated the citizens on the erection of so nice a building. Our visitors being obliged to return to Boston, the exercises closed at half past nine o' clock, much to the regret of many.

The North and East school-houses were painted during the summer vacation, by Mr. D. F. Perkins, and are standing testimonials in favor of our fellow-townsman.
The woodshed at the South district has been enlarged so as to hold wood enough to last the entire year.
APPROPRIATIONS.
For the maintenance of our several schools thirty-five weeks, we need for the High school, $800.00, and for the five district and one Grammar schools, $2000.00.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN AND OVERSEERS
OF THE POOR.
The Selectmen submit the following report for the financial year ending February 6, 1890 :
The first of February, 1889, the Town debt was $8,100.00 consisting of 10-year notes to the amount $7,500.00 at 4%, and call notes for $600.00 at 6%. The Treasurer cashed the call note $600.00, March, 1889. We have borrowed during the past year, in anticipation of taxes, $4,500.00 at 4%, and $2,000.00 at 34%, of which the Treasurer has taken up $5,000.00. Has also paid $825.00 on principal on the time notes ; making present indebted- ness $6,675.00 on the 10-year notes, and $1,500.00 tem- porary loan.
We have painted Town Hall inside and out, and made certain necessary repairs.
Of the appropriations under our charge we have been obliged to over-draw in some instances, arising from mis- understanding of the requirements at the last annual meeting. The amounts paid on principal of 10-year notes, with the interest, were obliged to come from general ex- penses, no special appropriations being made. All bills and claims of the School Dept., including books and sup- plies, have been paid upon town orders, issued by this office, properly approved by School Committee, created on their authority.
9
Highways. This department was divided up according to the custom of past years into 13 districts, with a surveyor for each, who were paid their respective accounts in full, upon town orders, they paying their own labor, material, &c. And we would recommend a change in this respect, and have bills of all departments paid solely from Treasury, on our orders, drawn from original vouchers, whereby the Town may hold her own vouchers and receipts. Roads and bridges were obliged to be included in the regular Highway appropriation, there being no special provision made for this account, and we have been obliged to spend considerable for two new bridges and several culverts, which were not included in our original estimates for the Depart- ment, they being found to be in very unsafe condition. Guide-posts have been maintained at the intersection of all streets where deemed necessary. New boards replaced for old ones when required and we report them in good condition.
Cemetery. Is in good order, with but few lots unsold, which shows the importance of acquiring more land at an early date. This department shows more real and substantial improvement the past few years than any. 'The committee have not only expended the appropriations most judi- ciously, but aided by personal contribution have been able to bring it up to its present condition, which reflects great credit upon them and the town. And it will compare favorably with the cemeteries of surrounding towns of much larger resources. Among other things the fence should be painted the coming year.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
Town Farm. This property is in good condition. We being fortunate in acquiring the services of a very efficient manager, who, aided by his wife, who has peculiar ability for the successful discharge of the oftentimes difficult duties of her position as matron-has been of good and
2
10
valuable service. At the commencement of the year it was found necessary to purchase quite a quantity of tools and material to properly carry on the farm. The stringent economy of the past few years tending to impoverish the property. And it will take the judicious outlay of a year or two more to bring it into proper working condition. Which outlay is by no means a direct expense, as it enhances the value of the property.
The whole number of inmates during the year were 4. Present number, 3.
