THE
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
OF SALEM, N. H.
The Superintending School Committee, for the year ending March 1854, would submit the following
REPORT.
It was with some reluctance that your Committee entered upon duties, involving so great responsibility, and especially in a place where he was so recently a stranger. Yet a desire to benefit the rising generation led him to waive other considerations, and enter upon a performance of the work.
Your Committee has attended to all the duties required by the Statute. He has examined all the teachers, visited all the schools, given teachers those suggestions, and directions which they seemed most to need, in order to their being in the highest degree useful as teachers in our schools.
There are a few definite points upon which your Committee would say a few words. And as we can have but little idea of a school without a house, he will commence with,
SCHOOL HOUSES .- Each of the ten districts in town is furnished with a school house with one exception. District No. 10, which is of somewhat recent origin, is destitute. But it is expected that during the present year they will erect a house, which will, to some extent, show both their wisdom and their ability.
The nine school houses we have in town, are of almost as many grades in point of excellence ; ranging from what we :nay regard a model School- house, down to those which seem to be passing through nearly the last stages of their existence.
Those in numbers 4, 6, and 8, are convenient and in good condition .- Those in Nos. 3, 5, 7 and 9, are old, too low, in rather a bad condition, and need to be remodeled, or new ones erected in their place. That in dis-
22
trict No 2 is ample for the acco.nmodation of that district for the present." That in district No. 1, is in some respect a comfortable bouse. Yet your Committee would suggest, that as the district is large, in numbers, as the school room is so low posted, making it almost impossible for the children or for the teacher to escape breathing impure air continually, into which good air is so soon changed in a school room where so many are assem- bled,-and as it is somewhat difficult to ventilate the house, it may be for the interest of the district, to sell their present house to be occupied for some other purpose, and build an house, which shall be larger, on a more modern plan, and in a more retired place where there can be fitted up & pleasant yard for the accommodation of the school.
A good, convenient, pleasant house, so constructed that it can be well ventilated, at the pleasure ef the teacher, has much more to do with the improvement of young minds, with the formation of their taste and charac- ter for after life, than very many suppose. Very much more might be said respecting school houses, but your Committee will simply add, that every school-house should have, without fail, suitable out-buildings connected with it for the accommodation of the school, that those delicate sensibilities which lie at the very foundation of virtue may be cultivated-not effaced.
TEACHERS. Your teachers, as a whole, have possessed respectable tal- ents, both natural and acquired ; and they have been, perhaps, as faithful and as successful as those generally are who are engaged in this responsi- ble and useful employment. The greatest failure which your Committee has found in visiting the schools, both in summer and in winter, has been a want of order. This has not been the case with all the schools ; yet with too many.
Schools without good order, whatever may be the intellectual qualifica- tions of their teachers, are worth but little, and do mors to encourage in- subordination, immorality and vice, than science and morality. We can - not feel too deebly the importance of securing good teachers for district schools ; for the impressions which they may make on the minds and hearts of our children can never be effaced.
BOOKS. Your Committee found in our schools two obstacles in the way of their greatest progress, and which should be removed : a too great variety of books, both for reading and for studying, and a want of adapta. tion of the book used, to the capacity and attainment of the scholar. In reading there will be but little advance where youth and children do not understand what they are reading about. Yet many were found reading in books far beyond their capacity and attainment to understand. Indeed, some of these books were not designed for common district schools, but for academies and higher schools. Only a partial change in books has been at- tempted. Webster's spelling-book, Wells's Grammar, and Mitchell's In- termediate and small Geographies, were recommended, to the exclusion of
23
all other's. There were probably five or six different kinds of Geogra phies in our schools, some of them so old as not to give the population of some of the large cities, within half a million. This being the case, an arrangement was made with the publishers of Mitchell's Geography, to send enough of the intermediate and small to furnish all the schools in town, at less than half the usual price, at the same time taking the old books as part pay in return. In this way all the schools have been fur- hished with one of the most approved Geographies of the day, with a sa- ting to the town of more than thirty dollars.
A similar arrangement might perhaps be made respecting some other books in use in our schools, to great advantage to the schools, and saving to the town.
PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEES. There are a few brief suggestions, which the Superintending Committee would respectfully make to those who are se- lected to employ teachers, &c. Get the very best teachers you can, whose Instructions and examples are worthy to be followed. In order to do this It is desirable that you begin to make inquiries for a teacher, both for sum- mer and winter. soon after you come into office.
This will not oblige you to engage at once, unless you choose, while it will give you an opportunity to make a good selection. Enjoin it upon the person you engage to teach, to apply immediately, or as soon as it can be done consistently, to the Superintending Committee, to be examined, and if found qualified, approbated, so that, if he or she is not found quali- fied, you may be relieved of all engagements, and ready to extend your inquiries, and not be obliged for want of time, to employ the first person who may please to call himself a School Teacher.
Two schools in town were not visited by the Superintending Committee at their close, because notice was not given. Your Committee would there- fore respectfully suggest that those who act as agents for the Districts, in employing teachers, be particular to notify the Superintending Committee, when the Schools will commence, and near their close, when they will close.
PARENTS .- Parents should feel both a general, and a personal interest in our School's. They have more invested there, than any where else And the gain, or loss will be the greatest. Your Committee has been happy to meet some of the parents at the examination of the Schools, and he would have been happy to have seen many more present.
He would recommend that all the Parents in each District, so far as they can, visit their School, Summer and Winter ; at its commencement, and at its close, and that they endeavor to become personally acquainted with the Teacher. Sustain him, or her, so far as that individual deserves to be sustained ; as they would wish Parents to do for a son or daughter of theirs, when among strangers.

The preceding Statistics will be found to be generally correct, though
in some few instances it was difficult to determine from the Register what
report to make. In closing, your Committee would express his warmest
sympathy with all who are laboring in various ways, to promote the inter-
ests of our District Schools. We cannot feel too deeply their importance,
families, as a community and as a Nation. for here under the influence of the Gospel is our hope as individuals, as
