ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF WILMINGTON,
FOR THE YEAR 1890-91.
42
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON.
Greeting :- Your School Committee submit the following report for your inspection and sanction, and hope it may meet with favorable criticism, crowned with your approval -moved as we are with a consciousness of having discharged the duties imposed upon us impartially and justly, and in all instances for the best for all concerned, as our judgment dictated-and with due consideration for the feelings and wishes of all interested, as far as practicable.
Two members were elected to the Board at the beginning of the municipal year, which, together with the meagre data and record handed down by our predecessors, made it quite a difficult task to rightly grasp the whole running of affairs at first. And being of a conservative turn of mind, it was the unanimous decision to interfere as little as possi- ble with the closing of the spring term, except when rank abuses were apparent which did not admit of delay. Con- sequently, the schools up to the ending of the spring term, June twentieth, as a whole, simply carried out, as nearly as may be, the plans mapped out by last year's Committee.
With the opening of the fall term, having our Superin- tendent elected, and well in the work, some changes were made, where found necessary. And your Committee in- structed the Superintendent to bring the District and lower grades up to a more uniform basis, than was heretofore apparent, thereby facilitating matters and bringing the gen-

eral schools into a more systematized condition. and that the higher grades take a thorough course in English Litera- ture. Rhetoric and those English Studies which are so essential to all of us, in the every day walks of life, which can only be accomplished in connection with the classical branches and Languages necessarily crowded into the High School Course, by thorough application and energy on the part of both Instructor and Schoiar, and let neither be neglected.
Finding that the last three weeks of the winter term for the High, Grammar and Sub-Grammar had not been provided for in the Outstanding Account, February 6, 1891, thereby reducing this year's appropriations-through the courtesy of the Selectmen it was all charged to that account. leaving to the current year her rightful appropriations to offset her legitimate liabilities. And it has been our aim and motive to keep within the legitimate bounds of the appropriations. and at the same time give your children the amount of schooling belonging to them, and not deteriorating the ser- vice. but rather doing what we can to improve it.
At the close of the spring term it was found we were maintaining the West School, with an average of eight scholars, and one of those a resident of Billerica, having no claim on us, at about the same expense as any of the District Schools. And as the average would be reduced to about five, by the promotion of three of the older scholars to the Grammar grade, it was considered most expedient to transfer the few remaining, to the Sub-Grammar and Primary, thereby doing away with the salary of one teacher, and attending expense of heating, maintenance and supplies, for the fall and winter terms. Out of courtesy your Com- mittee personally or through their Superintendent, called on the parents and guardians of all scholars attending the West School, and in a majority of cases they were agreeable to the change, and in no instance made persistent opposition to it, the distance being about the same for most of them.
This change with others referred to later on, gave an
44
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
opportunity to give forty weeks to all grades, right through the town, and keep within our appropriations ; and we feel safe in saying, giving full as good service and satisfaction.
TEACHIERS.
Upon mapping out our course for the balance of the school year, at our June meeting, reappointing teachers, etc., we found that the former Committee had been paying more than we could consistently be expected to do, for salaries in some instances, with what money had been appropriated, and deal honestly with our citizens, by giving forty weeks to the three higher grades in the High School building. So it was decided inasmuch as the present incumbent of the , High School, Mr. Frank Carter, was said to be especially dear to some of the parents and scholars, and the members of the this Board had nothing but kindly feelings toward him, pro- vided he wished to comply with the requirements asked of all teachers under our care, that we would give him good and sufficient time to accept a re-election at our hands, at a reduced salary for the fall and winter terms. After waiting several weeks for his final answer, he decided to decline the offer which left the position vacant, and being quite late in the season, would have left us in a difficult situation, had not fortune smiled upon us, and permitted us to get a young gentleman, Mr. Walter I. Weeks, highly recommended by his professors and teachers, who has proved a successful and able instructor, and been very favorably received by both parents and scholars.
The present Grammar School teacher, Mr. C. E. Corliss, who also assumed duties with the commencement of the fall term, has been very faithful with his department, and in the discharge of his general duties, and we all cheerfully accept all signs of improvement in this grade especially, it being one of the most important schools of the town, where- on depends, to a great extent, the success of the High School.
45
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITLEE.
The Sub-Grammar is presided over by Miss Blan Alex- ander, who impresses all with her faithful application to all duties imposed upon her.
The Primary .- Miss Helen H. Buck took charge of this room at beginning of spring term, and has shown great tact in the management of her special charge.
The East District teacher, Miss Charlotte S. Buck, con- tinues the even tenor of her ways, as well as her sister, Miss Nettie M. Buck in the North. Both are too well known in their distriets to call for criticism, and neither of them have lost any of their former reputation for good order and gen- eral ability in their respective spheres.
The South District .- Miss L. Maude Taylor assumed the duties of teacher with the spring term, and has been faithful in the discharge of the same. The attendance of this school through the winter months has been especially poor, making the work of the teacher all the more arduous and difficult, and progress of scholars all the more unsatisfactory to the parents and those interested in their welfare. This matter of attendance of scholars cannot be improved to any great extent until their parents and guardians realize the importance of the situation, and give the teachers the support and aid they are entitled to.
The West District School, closing with the spring term, was presided over by Miss Carrie M. Swain, who won the. respect of both parents and scholars, in the faithful discharge of her duties, and your Committee regretted being obliged to dis- turb the existing relations.
In our opinion the schools have made progress, in their general improvement, and hope the same to continue under the guidance of our efficient Superintendent, Mr. George M. Wadsworth, and consider this the only way for small towns to properly keep up the school standard.
And surely no way could be devised whereby we can get so much for so little expense, as under the special act, whereby our present Superintendent was elected. And
46
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
although the service could be greatly improved by joining a more compact district, thereby giving us more personal attention, we most earnestly advocate the present system, and advise its continuance as it is, until favorable oppor- tunity presents itself for a change to our advantage. It is undoubtedly a move in the right direction, and gives a super- vision and oversight over both teachers and schools which can but prove beneficial, and at the same time in no way reflect upon the efficiency of our teachers.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS.
Upon assuming the duties of this office, we made a general inspection tour of all the schools and found the buildings in good general repair, but the sanitary in a most neglected and unfit condition. During the summer months and later, we did what repairs we considered absolutely necessary, from what funds the Selectmen courteously allowed from the "Repairs of Public Buildings Appropriation," and the balance from general school funds. The sanitary condition of the High School building is not only unfit and improper, but so very unhealthful that we would consider it criminal neglect for any Committee not to bring it to the notice of the Town, and show the imperative necessity of having it remedied without further unnecessary delay. The coming year it will be necessary in a sanitary point of view to do some inside painting and white-washing, which with a few changes or repairs will put the District Schools in good con- dition for another year.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
In the matter of books and supplies, Mr. A. O. Buck was first appointed to look after this department, which was later transferred to the Superintendent, whose report we herewith respectfully submit.
