ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON, FOR THE YEAR 1889-90
The School Committee for the year 1889-90, respectfully submit the following report :
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMITTEE.
Chairman, Chas. W. Swain.
Secretary, Richard L. Folkins.
SUB-COMMITTEES.
Schools in High School Building, Mr. Carter. North and West Schools, Mr. Folkins. South and East Schools, Mr. Swain. Books and Supplies, Mr. Swain.
HIGH SCHOOL.
In Sept., 1887, the School Committee voted to graduate no class from the High School during the next two years. This step was taken because of the very low standing of the school compared with other schools of the same name.
Owing to the poor work done the previous year it took over one year to sift the school, put each pupil where he belonged and make a new departure which should lead to more satisfactory results in the future. The year thus spent proved of the utmost importance to the advancement of the school, and the work afterwards progressed to the satisfaction of every one.
54
At present we have a graded High School, and the outlook for the future of the school is very promising. The pupils are interested in the work as never before, the greater proportion of them striving for a high standing in the class, and no one at this time seems anxious to bring up the rear of the procession. The discipline is all that could be desired.
The introduction of Physical Exercise we believe to be a move in the right direction, and increases the pupils' interest in the school.
There are at present in the new building four schools, the number of pupils about 110.
The School Committee believe that the town was very fortunate in the time chosen to erect the new building, as it would have been impossible at the present time to accommodate all the pupils by the old arrangement.
The course of study in the High School embraces the following subject : Geometry, Rhetoric, Civil Govern- ment, Latin, French, Composition, Drawing, Algebra, Physics, Physiology, U. S. History, English History, Singing.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
At the commencement of the Spring term Miss Charlotte S. Buck was transferred from the East to the Grammar School, which she continued to teach during that term to the satisfaction of the committee. At the close of the term Miss Buck resigned on account of ill health, and Miss Sarah Hopkinson of Newton, was elected to fill the vacancy. Miss Hopkinson came to us highly recom- mended especially as teacher of drawing, and she has fully sustained her reputation.
SUB-GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
Miss Blan Alexander has charge of this school, which is the largest in town in point of members. It is needless for the Committee to say that Miss Alexander is doing excellent work as usual.
55
PRIMARY SCHOOL.
At the commencement of the Spring term the committee decided to form a fourth school in the building, which should be a Primary School. This school was opened the first week in April, with fourteen pupils. The number was increased to twenty-three before the close of the term, and now numbers twenty-nine. The school has been under the charge of Miss Emily M. Buck since its com- mencement ; Miss Buck was transferred from the South school where she has shown herself a strong teacher, and she continues to give satisfaction in her present position.
NORTH SCHOOL.
This school, still under the charge of Miss Nettie M. Buck, has pursued the even tenor of its way without a break or discord of any kind. One thing is always notice- able in this school, that is the promptness with which the pupils respond to any call from the teacher. This might well be copied by nearly all the schools in town. The pupils never appear listless and always have something to do. It could not well be otherwise where so much energy is displayed by the teacher.
SOUTH SCHOOL.
In April, 1889, Miss Carrie M. Swain was elected teacher of this school. This was her first experience as a teacher, and as in most cases, it is almost impossible to de- cide by the work of the first term whether the teacher will be a success or not, but whether from attending Teachers' Conventions, visiting other schools, or from her own inner consciousness, she certainly has, during the past term advanced ideas in the theory of teaching which some of the other teachers in town would do well to copy. The committee are well pleased with the work. They believe it is the worst school in the town as regards attendance, and if the pupils do not come to the school the teacher cannot improve them.
56
EAST SCHOOL.
This school has been taught the whole year by Miss Abbie Sheldon. This was Miss Sheldon's first experience in teaching. She took the school from the hands of one who stood high as an experienced teacher. To maintain that reputation would require the special effort of her successor. The seeming inability to fill the position, noticeable during the early part of the year, was largely the result of inexperience. The discipline, recitations and general advancement of the scholars show that Miss Sheldon has done a satisfactory year's work.
The school has maintained its usual reputation in its role of honor.
WEST SCHOOL.
The West School has been in charge of Miss Helen Buck during the year. Miss Buck took this school under very unfavorable circumstances. There had been no school in the district during the fall and winter terms of 1888 and 1889.
It is however to be commended for its good attendance, and we feel confident that good results will be apparent at the annual examination.
This school has increased in numbers yet there are many vacant seats.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
A Teachers' Institute under the direction of Hon. John W. Dickinson, Secretary of the State Board of Educa- tion, was held in the High School building, May 31st, commencing at 9 A. M. There was a good attendance of Teachers from Reading, North Reading, Burlington and Tewksbury.
The Exercises were mainly as follows : "Methods in Teaching," by Mr. Dickinson ; "History and Physiology," by Mr. Boyden ; "Industrial Drawing," by Mr. Bailey. Miss May Stone' of Chelsea, was present with two classes of pupils of Primary grade and gave an exercise in
.
57
reading, spelling and observation which was very interest- ing, and if properly applied would be of great help to teachers of the same grade.
TEXT BOOKS.
The committee have made some changes in text-books. Harper's New Readers having been introduced with the most satisfactory results.
Barnes' New Readers have also been adopted with equal satisfaction. Books of reference have been furnished the High School; the committee believing it to be for the best interests of our schools that they be supplied with all necessary aids in carrying on successfully the work of the school.
It will be necessary for the town to choose two mem- bers of the School Board. Mr. Carter having declined further service, and the term of Mr. Swain expiring.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The committee recommend the town raise and appro- priate the sum of $3,000 for the regular school expenses, and they also recommend that $250 be raised and appro- priated for the purchase of text-books and supplies.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES W. SWAIN, FRANK CARTER, RICHARD L. FOLKINS.
