There is a growing tendency, quite well known, to throw more and more of the bringing up of the child upon the school and yet to require that the length of the school sessions and of the school year be of short duration. We ever need to be sane and sensible in what is asked of the schools, certainly all things cannot be done in a limited period of time. We shall probably never have schools continuing all the year round and so the school cannot assume the entire care and instruc- tion of the child. The home and the parent still have
182
much to do and always will in the rearing of the child. We are largely at fault in our conceptions as to educa- tion and training. One is being trained or educated nearly every minute of his childhood and of his man- hood save when he is asleep. The conditions of life are ever disciplining him. What training one receives in the school is but a beginning, a mere foundation for future acquirement, and should be so considered.
It is the business of the educator then to recognize all the facts connected with the proper instruction of the child and to so organize his school and so study the characteristics of his pupil and so deal with him that the most may be made of him. When this has been done the teacher has performed his duty, the school has best served its purposes, and the municipality has fulfilled its obligations to the child.
School Accommodations.
Our school accommodations this year have been the same as those of last year and for the present and also for some time to come they are sufficient or can be made so with a few changes. There have been taken for use, however, during the year the vacant room at the School street building, one of the vacant rooms at the Allen building, and a small room at the Gonic building, this small room at Gonic never having been counted as one of our vacant school rooms. This leaves the city with three extra rooms out of the five reported last year. One of these rooms is at East Rochester and the other two are at the Allen building. There are also two or three small rooms at the Gonic building aside from the one mentioned which can be used for small schools in case of necessity, and by building a new entrance, a room can be gained at Maple street.
183
The taking of the rooms mentioned for use has been due to the growth of the High school and to the increase in the number of schools in the grades.
From the fact that one of the vacant rooms at the Allen building has had to be taken for a school this year and that in all probability another will have to be taken in the near future. It is here recommended that the renovation of the Allen building in some degree should be taken into consideration. A beginning should be made the coming summer by putting three rooms on the upper floor into two thereby providing properly for the seventh grade, already moved from the High school building to the Allen building and for the eighth grade now at the High school building.
The entrance doors should also be cut down consid- erably and larger windows should be put in over them thereby lighting the halls much better than is now done. With a few changes like these the Allen build- ing can be made as thoroughly modern as any building that we have. During the present year the seventh grade at the Allen building has been working under some serious disadvantages in consequence of the room where it has been located not being of modern arrangement. Before opening schools next September this school should be furnished with a more suitable room.
In considering the matter of school accommodation I cannot help again calling attention to the two rooms at the School street building that need to be better warmed and ventilated. It is hoped that at no distant date a hot air shaft and a ventilating flue may be in- stalled that will put these two rooms on an equality with the other rooms of the building.
At the Gonic building, since it appears that we must hereafter run the fifth grade and the sixth grade
184
as separate schools, it seems to be best to make two of the small rooms into one for the accommodation of the entire fifth grade and it is here recommended that this be done at the next summer vacation. It can be very readily done by removing a short partition.
As soon as it can well be done new desks should be provided for a room at School street and also for the seventh grade at the Allen building.
Schools
In the annual report of last year it was stated that every school except the High school, above the fourth grade in the main part of the city, was a fifty pupil school and that something should be done to relieve this congestion. At the opening of the school year in September there was a considerable increase in some of the grades as well as in the High school. In conse- quence it was found necessary to separate the seventh and eighth grades at School street and also to make a division of the fifth and sixth grades at Gonic, there being sixty-eight pupils in these last named grades. These changes have caused the setting up of two new schools. The city, therefore, now has thirty-three schools in operation instead of the thirty-one of last year.
During the year now closing the schools have been made up much the same as in previous years. Since September the city has had twenty-four schools of single grade, seven of double grade and one of all grades. Three of the double grade schools are at East Roches- ter, three at Gonic, and one in the central part of the city.
There has been but two changes in the location of the schools during the year. In September it was found
185
that the High school must have more room, in conse- quence of this the seventh grade located in the High school building was placed in the Allen building in the fourth grade room and the fourth grade was given a room on the second floor, this arrangement being the best that could then be made.
The changes made at School street and at Gonic have been of great advantage to the schools affected, but the placing of the seventh grade in a room not suited to it in the Allen building has not benefitted that school. However with a better fitted room-and this can be had, all will be well with this school at the Allen building.
It would seem that the quality of the schools can be judged in no better way than by the product which they turn out, though there is a marked tendency these days to measure the efficiency of schools by considering simply the methods employed in handling pupils and subjects. The elementary schools of Rochester, judged by what the pupils educated in them can do, occupy a place well up in the scale when compared with those of
other places. Pupils going out from the Rochester · schools to places of employment certainly have shown good ability to get along in the world, so to speak, and those who go on from the grades to the High school succeed as well in the High school as do pupils going forward to High school work elsewhere. The follow- ing figures from the state report go to show this. By the state report, in Rochester last June 64 per cent. of the pupils who entered the High school four years ago completed this High school work and graduated from the school, in Keene 66 per cent., in Dover 63 per cent., in Manchester 62 per cent., in Somersworth 61 per cent., in Nashua 59 per cent., in Laconia 56 per cent., in Berlin 51 per cent., in Concord 48 per cent., in
186
Portsmouth 43 per cent., and in Franklin 34 per cent. From these figures it is seen that Rochester is surpassed by but one city in the state in the percentage of grad- uates from the High school based on the number in the class at the time of entering the school. Of course there are other things that may affect these percent- ages aside from the preparation received in the gradu- ates but about as many of these are found in one school as in another and so these figures may be taken as a fair basis of comparison. In addition to these figures referring in a way to the elementary schools as well as to the High school, there are some things referring to the High school alone that may be said. At the present time there are twenty-five of the graduates of the Rochester High school in the different colleges, seven in the normal schools, six in different business colleges and two on the waiting lists of colleges, saying nothing of the graduates in the offices of the business houses and professional men of this and other cities. All this it seems is a showing that answers well the question as to the quality of the schools of the city.
Teachers
During the year the teaching force has undergone several changes. Early in the year Miss Bessie Little gave up her position in the second grade at the Allen building and Miss Lillian Foss and Miss Bessie Allen re- signed at the close of school work in June. Each of these teachers gave up her place to become the head of a home. In the High school Miss Springfield, Miss Wilson, Miss Nancy Foss and Mr. Martin left us at the end of the school year; Miss Springfield to take up post- graduate work at college, Miss Foss to be married, and Miss Wilson and Mr. Martin to take other posi-
187
tions. The places thus vacated were filled before the opening of the schools in September by a choice of the teachers hereinafter named. Miss Edith P. Foss of Strafford was secured to fill the place of Miss Little, Miss Lyda M. Lattie of Portland, Me., was chosen as principal at East Rochester, and Miss Alice M. Corson of our own city was given the place of Miss Bessie Allen in the first grade at School street. In the High school Miss A. Carmen Taylor of Kennebunk, Me., was chosen as teacher of Latin taking over the Latin of Miss Springfield and that of Miss Townsend. Miss Cynthia L. Knowles of Corinna, Me., was selected as teacher of German in place of Miss Springfield and History in place of Miss Wilson. Mr. John R. King of Providence, R. I., was elected to take up the Commer- cial branches taught by Mr. Martin, and Miss Eunice L. Hammett of Somerville, Mass., was given the place of Miss Nancy Foss as teacher of Stenography and Typewriting. In addition to the teaching force in the High school in consequence of the growth of this school another teacher, Miss Ina F. Babbitt, was secured to take up the English from Miss Wilson and some other work which would otherwise have fallen to the lot of Mrs. Allen. All of the teachers thus secured are school people of experience and come to us with high recommenda- tions. They have taken up the work assigned them with earnestness and enthusiasm and are working faith- fully and intelligently and are succeeding well.
What has been said as to the earnestness, enthus- iasm, faithfulness and so on of the new teachers may also be said of the old. We may feel assured then that our city still has a corps of instructors in its schools serving us all as loyally for the smaller salaries paid as any body of teachers are doing in any other city of the same or even much larger size.
188
In securing the new teachers in the High school at- tention was given to the matter of department instruc- tors and the good effects of so doing are already ap- parent.
Some of what has been said with reference to teachers has already been said in substance in the re- port of the High School Principal, but whatever has been said before will bear repetition here.
Salaries
We have the salary problem ever present with us in hiring teachers. By reason of the higher cost of living to live upon his or her income from teaching alone is now a serious matter. Often some other em- ployment during vacations is necessary in order to gain the wherewithal to meet the necessary expenses of life. Our scale of salaries was adopted some years ago and it may be necessary to rearrange this at no distant date. I believe it to be the desire of our city that the salaries of its teachers be as liberal as possible. We have paid $1,133.11 more in salaries this year than last but not all of this is a gain for the teachers, some of it represents the salaries of the extra teachers employed since last September but, be that as it may, the fact that there is more going for salaries is a comfort to those who are doing the teaching.
