OF THE
SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
DISTRICT NO. 1.
Prudential Committee, Edward S. Woodbury.
Teachers : Summer, Miss H. J. Bradley ; Winter, Mr. Daniel Gage. Whole number of scholars : Summer, 75; Winter, 71 ..
Average attendance, 65; 66 60.
Length of school, weeks, 12; 11.
Wages of teachers, per month, " $21.00; "$37.00.
Appropriation : Town, $137.67 ; Literary, #19.38 ; Railroad, $27.40.
The experience of Miss Bradley as a teacher, and her familiarity with the members of this school as a former instructress, enabled her to open the school with the good will of her scholars. They manifested a desire to learn, by at once applying themselves to their work in good earnest. The cooperation of the scholars with the teacher, enabled her to conduct the school in such a manner, that at its close, it was plain to be seen that considerable improvement had been made in deportment and scholarship.
Mr. Gage, although a young teacher, succeeded remarkably well in maintaining good order through the winter term. This may be attribut- ed in a measure to his pleasant but decided way of enforcing his rules of order. By patience and perseverance he succeeded in interesting the scholars in their studies. At the end of the term the school passed a fair examination.
DISTRICT NO. 2.
Prudential Committee, Mr. J. P. Ball.
Teacher : Summer and Fall, Miss Mary S. Bartlett.

Appropriation : Town, $45.44 ; Literary, $6.40 ; Railroad, $27.40. This school was quite small, and the musquitos a great annoyance. Miss Bartlett manifested a great interest in her school, and took much pains to have each scholar make thorough work. The school appeared well when visited.
DISTRICT NO. 3. Prudential Committee, Albert T. Mirick.
Teacher : Summer and Fall, Miss H. M. Taylor.

This school was somewhat backward at the commencement of the summer term, especially in reading. Miss Taylor was disposed to be quite thorough in her work, and succeeded in having her reading classes and recitations make a good appearance at the close of the fall term. Fair order was another characteristic of the school.

Miss Cochran is a wide awake teacher, consequently her school was of the same character. Her style of teaching excited an interest in the school. Great zeal was manifested by most of the scholars to excel. Good progress was made in all of the classes. Speaking, and some other exercises, were practiced with good effect. The examination at the close was very satisfactory.
Mr. Warner took much pains to have the school sustain a high rank in scholarship and deportment. Under his tuition the school was a success. At the end of the term no signs of previous drilling for the examination
23
were manifest. Each scholar was ready to answer any question, which was a proof that the work had been thoroughly done. There are some excellent scholars in this district.

Miss Snell is a faithful teacher, and worked hard to have each scholar make good improvement. Notwithstanding there are some very back- ward scholars in this school, it appeared well at the close.
DISTRICT NO. 6.
Prudential Committee, Prescott C. Hall.
Teachers : Summer, Miss Harriet A. Woodbury ; Winter, Mr. Joseph Couch.
Whole number of scholars, Summer, 52; Winter, 62.

Appropriation : Town, $147.70 ; Literary, $20.80 ; Railroad, $27.40.
Miss Woodbury's qualities as a teacher are well known in this town, as she has been an acceptable teacher in a number of the districts. Suf- fice it to say, the school under her care did well. Before the term closed a number of her best scholars left to attend a select school opened in that community ; yet there were enough remaining to make the exercises in- teresting on the last day.
Mr. Couch has had considerable experience in teaching, and came to this school with the hope of being its successful teacher. The winter term was very large, and not being well classed, Mr. C. was obliged to labor very hard to accomplish all that he desired. Yet perseverance, with a large amount of patience, enabled him to conduct the school in such a manner, that at the close it was evident good progress had been made in all of the classes.

DISTRICT NO. 7.
Prudential Committee, Mr. John Webber.
Teachers : Summer, Miss Emma F. Emerson ; Winter, Mr. R. E. Har- mon, Miss H. A. Woodbury.

Length of school, weeks, 9; 66 12.
Wages of teachers, per month, " $15.00 ; " $30.00 and $26.00.
Miss Emerson commenced her school with a determination to succeed- and succeed she did. The school made a fine appearance on examina- tion day. This was Miss E's first experience in teaching. She bids fair to make one of the best of teachers.
Mr. Harmon was an inexperienced teacher, having never taught be- fore. Although not deficient in literary qualifications, he lacked for con- fidence-was timid. Some of the large scholars were disposeed to take advantage of this, which caused much embarrassment on the part of the teacher.
At the end of the second day of the third week, a little difficulty sprang up between him and one of the scholars. To avoid any more trouble he suddenly closed the school, and left without notifying your committee.
I am not able to make any report of his school, for he did not furnish me any account of it whatever. The prudential committee succeeded in obtaining the services of Miss H. A. Woodbury to finish out the term, which she did to the satisfaction of the whole district.
DISTRICT NO. 8. Prudential Committee, William Cluff.
Teacher : Summer and Winter, Sarah R. Wilson.
Whole number of scholars : Summer, 30; Winter, 37.

At the commencement of the summer term, Miss Wilson opened her school with pleasing prospects. She gained the love of her scholars, and, without the least discord, brought her school to a successful termination.
Having had so pleasant a term during the summer, Miss Wilson came tto this school again as its teacher, hoping to have equally as pleasant a term. A number of large boys, old enough to be called young gentle- men, attended this term, who seemed to be destitute of sufficient respect
25 .
for a young female teacher, to observe the rules of order. This caused the teacher much unpleasantness. It is a disgrace to any young man to willfully make a disturbance in school, especially if the teacher is a female.
Miss W. is a faithful instructress-has been an acceptable teacher in the past. This school did as well under her tuition as could be expected, under the circumstances.
DISTRICT NO. 9.

Length of school, weeks,

Wages of teacher per month, " $17.00.
Appropriation : Town, $85.60; Literary, $12.05 ; Railroad, $27.40.
Having taught this school the previous year, to the satisfaction of all, Miss R. came to her school this term with the prestige of success. It is enough to say that good order and good lessons resulted in a good school.
Owing to the bad condition of the school house, the prudential com- mittee did not think it prudent to have a winter school. The district was not in favor of making repairs sufficient to make the house comfortable, for they contemplated the erection of a new house. I presume the money appropriated for the winter term will be expended for educational pur- poses after the new school house has been built. It certainly ought not to be until then.
-
Your committee has been informed that the district has appointed a building committee. If so, it is his opinion that it is high time for the committee to be discharging their duty, if the district design to have a summer school in their new house.
DISTRICT NO. 10.
Prudential Committee,-Obadiah Dustin.
Teachers : Summer, Miss Mary A. Gordon, Miss L. E. Bradley.
Whole number of scholars, Summer, 22.

Miss Gordon had a very pleasant, orderly school. The scholars took quite an interest in their work, and made considerable advancement, especially in grammar.
26
Icannot make a full report of the winter term, as it is now in session. I judge, from what I have seen of the school this term, that it is doing well under Miss Bradley's tuition, and of course, at the close, will bear a good examination.

GENERAL REMARKS.
Your committee congratulate the prudential committees that they have been so fortunate in obtaining good teachers. With one exception they have all proved themselves to be worthy of the name of faithful teachers. The work accomplished in our schools during the past year has made the final result as good as we expected. The most of our schools stand higher to-day in scholarship and deportment than they have for some time.
The progress in our schools seems to be necessary, in order to keep up with the times. The time has arrived in our national existence that intelligent, faithful teachers, and good schools, are needed among us, so that our children may be properly educated. If the people will see to it that good and well furnished school houses are provided, and competent teachers employed to teach in them ; if parents will see to it that their children are provided with the right kind of school books, and also that they are sent to school regularly, and in good season; if the scholars themselves will be particular in observing the rules of order, and in care- fully studying their school books, with the determination of becoming masters of them, then we shall have good schools-schools that will be up to the times.
The town of Salem has ten districts. Each district, with three excep- tions, has a good school house. Districts 5 and 9 need new houses. School house No. 8 needs remodeling inside; new and convenient seats to take the place of the uncouth benches now in use.
Something might be said to voters about what kind of men to elect to the office of prudential committee; also to said committees, what kind of teachers to employ. Much might be said to parents about taking a gen- eral interest in this great enterprise ; but as these important matters have been thoroughly discussed by former committees, we deem it unnecessary to enter into a detailed discussiou of them for the present.

29
There have been during the year 2450 instances of tardiness. The largest number of tardy marks made during any one term was in the winter term of district No. 1, which was 861. The smallest number was in the winter term of district number 5, being only 8.
It is the opinion of your committee that this number is much larger than need be; in fact, in nine cases out of ten, tardiness is unnecessary. If the parents will only see to it that their children are sent to school in good season, with strict orders not to loiter by the way, but to go directly to school, this great evil will be almost done away with. In some districts a few individuals get more than their share of tardy marks. For instance : in the winter term of district 1, one scholar attended 51} days, and was tardy only 53 times. Another attended 34} days, and was tardy 30 times. Another attended 50} days; tardy 32 times. Many of the scholars in this and other districts are faulty in this respect. Will the parents consider well this matter, and act accordingly ?
The schools in districts number 1 and 6, owing to the increase of popu- lation in the villages where they are located, have become altogether too large for one teacher to manage with that success they otherwise could. It is the conviction of your committee that if these two schools were each divided into Primary and Grammar departments, and two teachers em- ployed instead of one, the beneficial results beyond what they now are would be sufficient to compensate in part if not wholly for the extra ex- pense of employing a second teacher.
