Report of School Superintendent.
To the Committee of Wilbraham:
GENTLEMEN .- During the past year our schools have suffered few changes of teachers.
Miss Lula Spiller, a Salem Normal graduate, began the spring term in District No. 1, and has continued there throughout the year.
Miss Harris of Brooklyn, took charge of the Advanced school in North Wilbraham at the same time, but left us in January, for a graded school in Essex County.
Under her efficient management the classes were so well arranged in clearly defined grades that her work was easily taken up by Miss Albee, a worthy successor. We feel that the school has never been in a better condition than it is at present.
Shortly before the Thanksgiving recess Miss Merrick succumbed to the disease, which for a long time she had so bravely resisted. Mr. Robbins kindly consented to fill the vacancy for a few weeks hoping this absence would be only temporary. When it became evident that this was not the case, we secured the services of Miss Kelly, a suc- cessful teacher from Washington.
The respect and sympathy of the entire community are extended to Miss Merrick, with the hope that we may ere long again welcome her to her accustomed place.
During the winter the schools in Numbers 3, 4, and 8 have re- ceived instruction in music, under the direction of Miss Lillian Rus- sell, who has kindly given her services for two hours each week. By her pleasing manner and her familiarity with her subject, she at once excited the interest of the pupils and secured the confidence of the teachers. The results of her work have been highly satisfactory.
Important changes in text books have been made this year.
26
Frye's geographies have been introduced and Miss Hyde's language lessons and Whitney's grammar have taken the place of Southworth and Goddard's, formerly in use here.
During the spring term Mr. James Hall, recently appointed Assis- tant State Supervisor of Drawing, met the teachers of Wilbra- ham, Hampden, and Ludlow, and gave an interesting talk on " Drawing in Ungraded Schools." The Outline furnished by the State is now followed in all our schools and a generous supply of material has been furnished.
In January our teachers were addressed by Mr. Edson, whose visits here always incite enthusiasm and encourage renewed effort.
Other teachers' meetings conducted by your Superintendent have been held at intervals throughout the year.
By vote of the town, pupils are now admitted to the Academy when fitted for the first instead of the second year, as formerly. It often happens that a pupil whose interests would be better served in the Academy than in the district school, is not sufficiently advanced in his studies to warrant your Superintendent in certifying to his ability to enter upon high school work, and, though knowing that personally he would be benefitted by the instruction of special teachers and by the companionship of older students, she would not be justified in calling upon the town for tuition of such person. The rules by which she is governed in such, and in all cases, appear in the records kept by the Secretary of the School Board and are published with this report.
Recommendations for the coming year :
I. I believe that vertical penmanship should be taught next spring in the primary school in District No. 2, which is so isolated that the children are not likely to become members of any other classes in town. Here the experiment can be thoroughly tested. Many still prefer the slanting system, but no one can claim that it is easy or natural for any person to learn to hold his pen in the prescribed manner or to incline his letters to the proper slope, and it seems unwise to oblige pupils, who are with difficulty kept in school during the period required by law, to spend so much time in acquiring what they so soon forget.
The vertical hand commends itself, as being on account of its naturalness much more readily learned, far more legible, and, as physicians claim, more hygienic. President Eliot of Harvard
27
University says it is an enormous economy, more legible and con- venient, and in many offices vertical penmen are now given the preference.
If asked why it should not be tried in all our schools, my answer would be that it seems inexpedient to force it upon older pupils who have for years laboriously striven with the old style, and who, pre- sumably, have acquired some proficiency in it. If, after one term's trial it works well in one primary room, it may, I think, be intro- duced in the other, and later, to all classes composed entirely of little children.
II. As now arranged the advanced school at North Wilbraham consists of five grades, each requiring at least four lessons in a day. By combining classes and defrauding each child in every possible way we reduce the number of recitation periods to some- thing under twenty, but we have even then more than double the number allowed in well graded schools. Is it possible to do so much well? Is it not doubtful economy to continue in this way ?
One of two courses is in my opinion to be chosen :
1st. To forbid all transfers from the primary to the advanced room for at least one year, or until such time as the number of grades in the lower shall exceed the number in the higher school, thus materi- ally injuring the interests of the little children, or, secondly, to separate the advanced school into grammar and intermediate divisions and employ three teachers where there are now but two.
There are objections to this plan and its adoption would give rise to perplexing questions of accommodation, but I believe the results would be satisfactory and that in a school of so many grades and pupils such a division is necessary.
It is true that in former days a larger number of pupils used to be well instructed by one teacher. but the state did not then require what it now does and compliance with these demands is obligatory not optional.
This report is abbreviated to give room to the detailed course of study, which by your request, is now presented for publication. A few additions have this winter been made to the number work of the first four grades. All other parts have been tested in your schools and in the other towns of this district of supervision.
