Five School Teachers Here Two Centuries in Service
Quintet Has Averaged 43 Years in Springfield Classrooms; Find Instruction Methods Have Changed But Not the Students .
By DOCIA KAREI.L.
FIVE teachers In Springfield's public schools have served for more than two centuries-216 years and a half. exactly-or an average of 43.3 years each ..
They are Miss Mary Kalley. prin- cipal at the Bissett school; Miss Nan- nia Tracy, principal at Phelps; Mra. Rebecca Conlon, principal at Camp- bell: Miss Cora B. Ott, vice principal at the Senior High school; and Miss Nettle Clark, 5A and 6B teacher at Campbell. Each has taught here for more than 40 years.
All but Miss Clark began thelr teaching at the old Central building which atood for many years where the Frisco bullding la now, Miss Clark began at the Campbell school, and Is still there. During the years she has taught all grades from second to seventh. She has spent one year each at Berry and Weaver, as prin- cipal, but she Is devoted to Campbeli school, and after each aojourn "abroad" has chosen to come back to her "home school." She has conals- tently refused principalships, because she prefers the more Intimate rela- tionship with her pupils which the classroom gives her.
+
1
40 YEARS A PRINCIPAL
+
Mrs. Conlon, too, is a long-time Campbellite, for she left her third grade class at old Central In º 1888. Just 40 years ago. to go to Campbell as principal.
Mlas Ott also began as a third-grade teacher at old Central, but has been teaching mathematics in the high school sluce 1889. four years before the new high school was built at the corner of Jefferson avenue And Central street in 1893. She always hus been a popular teacher, much admired and loved, and in 1924 she was made vice principal with special supervision of the girla, and head of the depart- ment of mathematics.
Miss Tracy left old Central In 1887 to go to Ballcy as principal, and In 1895 became principal of Phelps. where she still is.
"Miss Ma'y" Kelley began teaching a class of 107 second-graders in oid Central when she was only 17 years old, and just out of high school. The - average attendance in the class was ! 92 dally, and that was typical of the
large classes of the day.
1
BIGGER THE BETTER
The superintendent considered It Inefficient for one teacher to handle less than 80 pupils, and the larger classes were the better he was plensed Most of them ranred from 85 to 95 in average daily attendance.
After four yeara. Miss Kelley was made principal of old Central. And ; when the building was abandoned. ! became principal of the new McDaniel school. Two years ago she was made principal of Bissctt.
Miss Kelley believes that schools today are "Ob. a thousand percent better than they were 40 years ago!"" The biggest change, she sasa, la In the size of the classes, which have beru reduced more than half and fre- quently to a third of their former alze. Almost equally Important she secs the vastly better equipment of . today.
When abe began teaching. the sec- ond grade studies were only number work. writing, reading, and spelling. A few teachers taught singing. They
had no song books, and taught the songs by writing the worda on the blackboard and teaching the songs "by note" -- the teacher singing them firat, and the pupils after her.
+
SATURDAYS FOR DRAWING
+
Miss Kelley wanted to teach draw- Ing. and did. There were no special drawing materials, and the children used their alates, or drew on the blackboard. Because drawing was not A part of the course. Miss Kelley started a special Saturday class, which about 30 boys and girla attended voluntarily.
"Some of them had real talent. too," aha recalla, "but they had no ! chance to develop it, as children have today. Yet some of the drawings they made were just as good as children make today, with all thelr equipment and training."
Still another great Improvement. . Miss Kelley says, is the supervisory , system. which correlates the work of the different grades and the different ; schools.
1004
Most of the young teachers then had no professional training. and if l they could have had supervisors it - would have been invaluable. Miss Kelley reminisces.
CALLS ON ABSENTEES -
+
There were no attendance officers, and every evening she called personal- ly at the home of each child who had bern absent that day. The dis- trict was large, and she walked. "But It didn't take long." she says. In spite of the large classes, she always krev. every child ty name before the third day of the term ended.
Of course there was 1:0 P T. A tin- til years later, but parents had fcwer : outside interests and homes were more closely knit in interests, as Miss Kelley remembers it. It was customary for fathers and mothers to visit the schools frequently and informally. "sitting in" sometimes half a day or a day at a time. listen- ing to recitations and observing the work.
Once a month the pupils present - ed an all-day program, attended by
..
virtually all parents. Sometimes the morning was devoted to special re- view mecitations to show what the children . bad learned, sad the after- noon to speaking pieces, giving -dia- logs, singing, and, like entertainment. A variation was to alternate class recitations with the entertantment numbers throughout the whole day.
-
PUPILS BRING LANTERN
All entertainments were given dur- ing the day, because there were no lights in the school. But after Miss Kelley had been teaching four years she was given the eighth grade, and the organised a literary society in ber classes. This society met at night, and the youngsters and the teacher carried lanterns, which they set around the room for light."
But if conditions and waye have changed, children have not, Miss Kol- ley observes. The school does a great deal more for them today. she belleves and the home considersbly less, so that things are about even. -Forty years ago, she recalls, most homes ' had ' family worship; parents were at home evenings and kept their children . there; youngsters had dally assigned tasks, and. in general ro- ceived more home training and less Indulgence today.
Modern psychology and pedagogy Just about balance this lack of home training today, she says-the schools do in a measure what the homes do not-and the result is that the youngsters are about the same as ever.
+- 1
WHY BOYS ARE BAD
For more than 40 years of her 1005
+ -
teaching, until two years ago, Miss Kelley bad never whipped a child: and that was extremely unusual, for whipping was a common practice in the schools 40 years ago.
She has never found, she says, a "bad boy" to whom she could not appeal in some way besides punish- ment. Boys are "bad." she says, be- cause they get an Idea that nobody cares for them, and can be won by Interest and affection.
However, she has found a few youngsters during the past two years who are so used to being disciplined by whipping that "they don't under- stand anything else." she explains. When it is necessary. she turns them over her knee and spanks them in the good, old-fashioned way, and thinks they are the better for it.
But she does belleve that it is bet- ter for children to be spanked at home than at school, and she never - spanks & youngster if she can per- ¿ suade his mother to do It instead. She has agreements with some of the mothers in the district that they wul spank their children whenever the school reports that they need It.
"I have enjoyed every year of teaching. and I have loved my classes," she says. Teaching has been her one interest and her whole life. and her puplis have responded-to- day she is one of the most widely- loved women in Springfield.
