WILLIAM P. BEEDE, Treasurer.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE
TOWN OF HEBRON, FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1880.
DISTRICT No. 1.
SARAH A. HAWORTH, teacher. Length of term, 11 weeks. Wages per month, exclusive of board, $8.00 Whole number of scholars, 8 ; average attendance, 6. Miss Haworth had here her first experience in teaching ; pleasant to herself, and in a meas- ure profitable to the school.
DISTRICT NO. 2.
NETTIE A. HARDY, teacher. Length of term, 10 weeks. Wages per month, including board, $18.00. Whole number of scholars belonging in the district, 5; average attendance, 4. Miss Hardy's bearing in the school-room is dignified and adapt- ed to gain the respect of her pupils. It was apparent at the close of the term that her instruction had contributed to the advancement of those in attendance.
DISTRICT NO. 3.
CHARLOTTE E. DEARBORN, teacher. Length of term, 8 weeks. Whole number of scholars, 12; average attendance, 8. Miss Dearborn has the advantage of a protracted experience as a
14
teacher. The school appeared promising at the commencement, but was so reduced in numbers at the close it was difficult to de- cide as to the progress made.
DISTRICT NO. 4.
FRANK P. MORRILL, teacher. Length of term, 9 weeks. Wages per month, including board, $16.00. Whole number of scholars, 12 ; average attendance, 9. Mr. Morrill was interested in his work, and labored earnestly for the benefit of nis scholars ; and it is the opinion of your committee, that, all things considered, this school appeared to as good advantage as any in town.
DISTRICT NO. 5.
The summer term of 10 weeks was taught by LIZZIE B. BISHOP. Wages per month, including board, $19.00. Whole number of scholars, 25 ; average attendance, 18. This was Miss Bishop's first school, and her success was very encouraging. The winter term of 12 weeks was also taught by Lizzie B. Bishop. Wages per month, including board, $23.00. Whole number of scholars, 31 ; average attendance, 21. Miss Bishop carried into this term the same urbanity, and interest in her pupils, manifested in the summer term. The closing examination indicated a commend- able degree of progress.
Care has been taken to report no scholar twice. It is hoped that the practice of attending schools in contiguous districts will be continued. In reviewing the work of the year the impression forces itself upon my mind that there has not been sufficient thoroughness in teaching. There is generally to great a tend- ency to hurry pupils along faster than they can go understand- ingly. The divine method of teaching is worthy of attention from instructors of youth. "For precept must be upon pre- cept, precept upon precept ; line upon line, line upon line ; here a little and there a little." A pupil should understand a lesson before he passes to another. Teachers and parents often feel pride in the thought that children have gone through a book in so short a time ; when it would be to their advantage immediate-
15
ly to go through it again. It will be found in the end that thor- ougness, besides imparting choiceness of discipline to the mind, will be a saving of time.
Were it not so frequent and fruitless an exhortation, I should feel inclined to call the attention of parents to the importance of encouraging teachers and children by their occasional pres- ence in the school-room. They will then perceive what excel- lences are to be commended, and what evils to be corrected. It is frequently the case that persons who never enter the school -. room in term time, are forward to utter complaints, and public- ly make adverse criticisms, and thus exert an influence hostile to the school. Such conduct is deserving of rebuke. Let par- ents and others refrain from remarks derogatory to the teacher in presence of the children. Such remarks will diminish a child's respect for the teacher, and go far toward destroying the good results that might otherwise be secured.
Greater uniformity in text books in our schools is desirable. Only one school in town is supplied with outline maps, or books of reference. Could all be thus supplied it would be a step in the right direction. Money devoted to the education of our children, and their preparation for the duties of life, is cer- tainly well expended.
