School Committee.
To the People of Belmont :-
I take this opportunity to sincerely thank the citizens for the support given me at the town election, March, 1885, and can cheer- fully say that I never experienced a more enjoyable year in my life. I am very fond of children, so that no work could have been more pleasant. As I am interested in reading, I have given the schools selections to read during the year which I think have been of bene- tit to them ; shall not mention any in particular, except the primary at the village, as this was composed of small children. Some of the others ranked nearly the same, and nearly all did very nicely. As I partially assumed the charge of the reading it necessitated my making three visits to the schools each term, which I was able to de with the exception of two schools, which I will report in their order. I did not take this course entertaining the idea that reading was se much more important than the other studies, but from the fact of its having been neglected in the past. I simply insert this by way of explanation to the parents, as the schools thoroughly understand my motive in this. At this time I also thank teachers and scholars for the courtesy and respect with which I have been received, and in severing my connection with the office I can truly say that I have exercised my best judgment in every respect, and my mistakes I hope will be forgiven, for in the same measure that I have charity for others I beg it for myself.
DISTRICT No. 1-Ladd Hill-Summer term of eight weeks, taught by Miss Carrie A. Smith of Laconia, was successful in every respect. We made three visits to the school and noticed a marked improvement at each. There seemed to be a spirit of love existing between teacher and scholars, which is the secret of success in the school-room. Fall term of fourteen weeks, taught by Miss Leora L. Foster, was also a success. We feel the money in this district well expended. This school is easily governed, judging from the three visits made by me, and owing to the respect shown by the
- 16 -
scholars, we not only know they were properly trained at school, but at home as well.
DIS. No. 2-Union District-Summer term of eight weeks, taught by Miss Leora L. Foster. Perhaps this may be considered a hard school to govern, but Miss Foster bravely overcame every obstacle and think she had reason to be satisfied. Fall term of nine weeks, taught by Mr. Asa E. Gile. Owing to a misunderstanding we were not able to visit this school but once, but we understand with one or two instances it was a success. learning this from Mr. Gile, who is a good teacher, judging from our first visit and by reputation.
DIs. No. 3-Jamestown-Summer term of nine weeks, taught by Miss JJ. Etta Woodard. Miss Woodard is a very fine teacher. Good progress was made : the school was profitable. Fall term of sixteen weeks, taught by Miss Mabel A. Sanborn. This was her first school. She is a very thorough scholar, but for lack of experi- ence. which only comes with the roll of time, the first half of the school perhaps did not make the progress it otherwise would. We made four visits and at each it was evident that there was a growing interest, so that at its close we felt satisfied.
DIS. No. 4-South Road-Summer term of six weeks, taught by Miss M. Winnie Judkins. Miss Judkins is a quiet, but impress- ive teacher. Knowing her from a child, we feel that a school under her instruction will have her best judgment in all respects. Good progress was made during the term. Fall term of eight weeks. taught by Miss Ella C. Gilman. The school was very successful. considering it being small. We think it next to an impossibility to create a proper amount of interest with four or five scholars. We were well satisfied with the school.
Dis. No. 5 (village)-Grammar-Summer term of ten weeks, fall term of eight weeks, winter term of nine weeks, taught by Miss Louisa A. Eaton, were all nearly perfeet in every respect. We hesitate at this point simply for lack of words to express the lofty ideas we have of Miss Eaton. She was my instructor from my youth up while in the district school, and as I thoroughly believed her to be the best teacher I ever knew then, I am thoroughly con- vinced of the fact now. It is useless for me to say more. as the people who know her are as well aware as myself that no teacher has had such grand success in the grammar school as has Miss Eaton. May we have the good fortune to secure her in the future.
DIs. No. 5 (village)-Primary-Summer term of ten weeks.
- 17 -
fall term of seven weeks. winter term of nine weeks, taught by Miss Amy W. Cushing. This was Miss Cushing's first experience as a teacher, having left the grammar school the term previous. This being a difficult school, owing to there being from forty to fifty little ones, some little doubt was expressed as to her success. We made several visits during the year, and were very favorably im- pressed at the first, only to be more and more so as the year ad- vanced. No one realizes the anxiety and care that must be exer- cised to keep order and interest so many children until they have experienced it themselves, and in these respects we think no teacher could have done better had they had years of experience. and in no school have we seen more love of scholars for teacher exhibited than in this. Miss Cushing being an elocutionist spared no pains with the children in this line, and at the examination it was sur- prising how those little people read. The two schools in the village were both a grand success, and we feel indebted to the prudential committee, Mr. Thomas R. Cushing, for his services and good judgment in securing two so fine teachers.
DIs. No. 6 .- Summer term of seven weeks, taught by Miss Nellie C.Gile. Considering this being her first school she did well; we think she was a good scholar, and tried to do the best she could ; the school was small and that is almost fatal to its advancement.
Fall term of ten weeks, taught by Miss Addie F. Gile. She met with very good success ; as we were in from time to time we could see improvement made, which was encouraging. Miss Gile was a very fine lady. which is a great factor in the school room.
DIs. No. 7 .- Summer term of seven weeks, and fall term of ten weeks, taught by Miss Olive A. Bennett, were two very successful terms. Miss Bennett has taught several schools in this district and has had a favorable result. She is much loved by the scholars. She is very quiet in school, but seems to have a silent power which has its effect with children. Marked improvement was made during the year.
DIs. No. 8 -- Summer term of eight weeks taught by Miss Lillie A. Busiel. Good order prevailed and fair advancement was made in the studies.
Fall term of eleven weeks taught by Miss Mattie M. Bean. This was Miss Bean's first school, having graduated from the Laco- nia high school in the spring, but her success was remarkable. Her heart was in the work, and her words did not return to her void for her comman @ never failed to be obeyed. She is a thorough
- 18 -
scholar and did her best to make her scholars so. She is destined to become a fine teacher. The school was very satisfactory.
DIs. No. 9 .- North Province Road-Summer term of five weeks and fall term of seven weeks, taught by Miss Emma M. Britton. These were two fine schools. Miss Britton is a very talented lady and has the right idea of managing and teaching scholars ; fine progress was made in every respect. She seemed to realize her responsibility and was faithful to her charge.
DIs. No. 10 .- South Province Road .- Fall term of twelve weeks, taught by Miss Josephine Chapman, this was her first ex- perience. and although the school was small fair progress was made.
DIs. No. 11 .- Farrarville .- Summer term of six weeks, taught by Miss Emma S. Page, this was the smallest school in town, it being shorter than expected did not have a fair examination, but considering the number she did very well.
Respectfully submitted. J. M. SARGENT. Supt. School Com.
