ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
School Committee of the Town of Wilbraham
FOR 1882-1883.
GENTLEMEN :- We beg leave to submit to your earnest considerations the following as a partial Report for the year now closing :
Children in the Town, May 1, 1882, 5 to 15 years of age, 270 Children in the Town, May 1, 1882, 8 to 14 years of age, 196
Children of all ages in Schools during the year, 288
Average membership,
214
Average attendance, 189
These facts and those included in the Table at the end of this Report must not be supposed to furnish the history of ed- ucation in our Town for the year now closing. They furnish merely some of its materials, conditions and possibilities. In them you will not find what progress each child has made or what changes have taken place in his manners and morals. School accommodations, appropriation, scholars, teachers, may be called the bone, muscle and sinew of education, but are not to be mistaken for the life, which is education itself. These things, with others, have a formative influence for good or evil upon the plastic nature of the young child ; and no one can estimate how constant, how effective, and yet how subtle, is their operation. Now the part which a committee may play in this process is very general at best, and hence
9
20
quite unsatisfactory. They may systematize and give a di- rection, more or less sustained, to school affairs year after year. Such a system, meeting with hearty co-operation from parents, and finding teachers to practically apply it, ought to be expected to produce quite satisfactory educational results. As committees are constituted, however, it is but natural that their work should be wanting in perfect organization and breadth of scope ; that parents should feel that the education of their children has been entrusted to others who will see to it and be responsible for it ; while so far as the general run of teachers is concerned, in country schools at least, the condi- tions of the scholar's education seem to be fulfilled if the les- sons are mechanically gone over.
It is therefore seldom that we find these public factors of edu- cation operating at their best, while certain other influences are at work all the time and often insidiously and destructively. The good that a child learns at school may be counterbalanced by an evil that lurks at home ; the association with some fellow scholar in the recreation hour may undo the good influences of the school hour ; what little moral tone may be imparted to him in the school-room may be sapped and undermined by loafing habits contracted at grocery stores or other public . places, where, not through any evil in the place itself, not only moral strength is undermined but sometimes the worst sort of depravity is inspired. These constant and indirect in- fluences of education are almost beyond our control, quite be- yond our estimation. It is indeed a high responsibility to be called to disburse your educational fund, to superintend your school affairs ; but you must recollect, as parents and citizens, that you are not thereby relieved of the responsibility of add- ing your best efforts everywhere and always for the good of the rising generation.
For several years past, a number of children have been farmed out upon us from adjoining towns. We have watched the experiment pretty closely. Viewed from their standpoint those towns may regard this new arrangement as a marked suc-
21
cess. From our side we can see that it is fraught with evil effects, for coming into school districts whose accommodations were barely sufficient they have rendered them overcrowded, and what is worse, they have, by their disproportionately large numbers, lowered in some districts the standard of excellence very considerably. It might be well for the selectmen to dis- cover what relation we sustain to persons of this class and whether there is redress or relief.
We again call your attention to the state of school prop- erty in Districts No. 5 and No. 6. It demands immediate at- tention. These houses are not a protection against inclement weather, to say nothing of looks and convenience. We advise as urgent, that the Town raise this year at least $300 which may be devoted exclusively to repairs at one of these houses. By raising such a sum for two or three consecutive years our school-houses can be put in first-class condition.
Your committee have made upwards of eighty official visits during the year. Everything has gone on quietly, with no special wear or damage to school property and no discord wor- thy of mention.
Tardiness and occasional absence is the great blot against us ; in school No.5, alone, is the record nearly clean. This fault lies with the parents and teachers. The cases are mostly of such a sort that the truant officer ought not to be called in to settle them. The teachers ought to protect themselves and the reputation of their schools. Failing the attendance of the scholar and the co-operation of parents then the truant officer should be called upon. We have had little occasion to employ such officers during the two years past.
Our teaching corps has been quite permanent the past year. Six schools have retained their teachers through the year. This is a result at which we are aiming, for each change in teachers is really a hazardous experiment. Such changes some- times speedily undo the good work of months, but unfortu- nately they will come, and sometimes we have not the best of materials out of which to fill places that are of necessity made
22
vacant. To some of our teachers we would make two impor- tant suggestions-the need of more force and practical com- mon sense. A school-room should leave the impression of a busy place. To a casual visitor the impression of confusion is in some particulars better than one of mopish indolence and un- employed quietness. The busy hum that comes from applica- tion is preferable to a silence that tries to be proper and do nothing over much. A hive of bees leaves but the impress of disorder to him who sees them come and go ; only he who has opened the cells and gathered the sweets from year to year knows how to understand and prize the well organized and unremitting labor that has gathered the honey "from every opening flower." Throw yourselves with enthusiasm into the work of your schol- ars. Take recreation also with them. We have no sym- pathy with teaching during recess.
Our teachers are slavishly bound to their books also, when to depart from them would be a practical benefit to the scholar. In the scholar's daily life there occur practical problems in arithmetic, geography, grammar, reading, etc. And often he can solve these problems out of the book when he could not solve them in it. It is well that the door should open from the studies in the book to practical examples taken out of life. Such tests are of priceless value to the scholar and always in- teresting. There have been some examples of practical work during the year that have been very gratifying. In one school occasional extra reading exercises for the advanced scholars, out of magazines and newspapers ; in another excellent letters and compositions, on very simple subjects, it is true, but interesting to the scholar because they embraced descriptions of something about which he knew and had had recent enjoyment ; in an- other an excellent paper which went through several editions, every one looking neat, with each scholar's article written out in his own hand ; in another an array of original drawings by the small children, that would have done honor to a school of more ambitious pretensions ; in another excellent declamations and dialogues ; in still another free gymnastics. These are
1
23
some of the things that have been done and can be done, pro- vided we use good judgment and are not too ambitious.
We are gratified to state that there have been nearly 300 visits other than those made by the Committee. These present some curious incongruities. For instance, the smallest school in Town has had the largest amount of visitation. The two schools on the mountain have had eighty-four visitations, the two on West street only twenty-four. It is well that our at- tention should be called to these facts. They sometimes lead to interesting conclusions. There is likely to be less truancy, more faithful attendance on work, and better teaching in the schools that receive most visitation.
Having made some changes in text-books during the two years preceding, we did not think it expedient to burden you unduly, the present year. A change in the readers now in use is quite necessary. They have been read and re-read till they have no profit in them.
Gentlemen, increased numbers are making an increased de - mand upon us from year to year. It is not impossible that in some of our districts there may be a call for more room and a larger force of teachers.
