REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
FOR THE YEAR ENDING FEBRUARY 15, 1895.
To the district and town of Chesterfield :
There have been fewer changes in teachers the past year than usual. In schools Nos. 1, 5 and 9, changes were unavoid- able. In No. 10 the same teacher has held place successfully the last two years. The three teachers in the eastern section of the district have taught from four to eight terms each in the same schools, including the last year, and not a complaint has been made to the board from either of the schools by parents, teachers or pupils, and we are fully satisfied that a much larger measure of progress has been attained than can be where changes are made from term to term in teachers and their methods of teaching.
We appreciate the fact that most of our teachers have exerted their best energies for the greatest advancement of their pupils, and that they have been more than ordinarily successful.
Much of the prosperity of a school depends upon the teacher's knowledge of the needs and capacity of the pupils, and the possession of ability to draw out and develop the ideas of the pupil concerning the studies taught; hence a teacher perfectly familiar with the trend of each scholar's mind, with an ever ready fund of questions to elucidate all the points of the lesson, will lay broad and deep the foundations of elemen- tary knowledge.
A few of our teachers have been veritable animated inter- rogation points with an encyclopedical attachment for explana- tions.
4
Parents, teachers, pupils, and the community in general, and the self constituted critic and fault-finder in particular, each in varying degree, are responsible for the success or failure of a school ; but where all these factors work harmoniously and duly appreciate their duties and responsibilities, success is assured.
Perfect attendance should be striven for and insisted upon by every parent and scholar. Order should be enforced by the teacher and backed by all the strength of parental author- ity. If parents will do their full duty, encourage their children to be prompt and punctual in doing what is required of them; if they will support the teacher in everything reasonable, a long stride will be made toward securing successful schools. Happily, such has generally been the case the past year, yet a little home effort might have prevented most of the tardy and absent marks that smirch the registers. The statistical tables and treasurer's report will give detailed information on many points, but are imperfect concerning school No. 5, as also the roll of honor, through the loss of the register before the completion of this report.
There were in town on the first day of April, 1894, according to the selectmen's enumeration, 155 children between the ages of five and fifteen years, 73 boys and 82 girls.
At the last annual meeting the sum of two hundred dollars was appropriated for the repair of school houses and furniture. From this appropriation the buildings in Nos. 9 and 10 have been furnished with blinds and painted, and repairs of a small amount in Nos. 7 and 13, in all involving the expenditure of $77.91, leaving a balance of $122.09 in the treasury for future use.
