NORTH VILLAGE-DISTRICT NO. 4.
As there has been some trouble in this school during the past year, it may be proper for the committee to specially refer to the matter of discipline. This is the first thing needful for any effi- ciency or progress, whether a school is large or small. Every other advantage-a competent teacher, a good school house, the best of text books, and the most approved school furniture-is of but little service unless the teacher has order. "Order," some one has said, "is heaven's first law ;" and it should be the last as well as the first in the school room. Perhaps the committee is strenuous in regard
24
to this thing ; but, to his mind, obedience is the greatest excellency in a pupil-it is before scholarship.
These remarks are made in view of the fact that the refractory course of some of the larger pupils, during the Summer term, was a serious obstacle in the way of the complete success of the school. Had it been in charge of an ordinary teacher, it would have proved a failure ; but the patience, devotion and experience of Miss Gordon secured far better results than were expected. The examination, at the close, evinced proficiency on the part of some of the scholars in all the studies, especially reading.
Miss Gordon deserves credit for her management of the school under the trying circumstances in which she was placed. After she left, or at the commencement of the Winter term, Miss Cowdry kept two weeks, but left because she could not preserve order. She was succeeded by Miss Winkley, who taught one week more, but was taken sick at the end of that time, and resigned. The Pruden- tial Committee then employed Mr. E. G. Perham, a veteran teacher, who soon reduced the school to order, and finished the term with credit to himself and satisfaction to the district.
DISTRICT NO. 9.
For two years after the new and commodious school house was built, this school exhibited a degree of excellence which satisfied every reasonable demand; but, for several terms past, it has rather fallen short of the mark. Yet it should not be understood that it does not compare favorably with several others in town. It does ; but, at the same time, there has not been that advancement which might have been expected. These failures-if failures they should be called-are not attributable any more to the teachers than the scholars ; perhaps, not so much. The teachers, in the main, have been competent, especially in a literary point of view, and have labored sincerely and earnestly for the improvement of their pupils ; but there has been a manifest lack of order, which has arisen more from habit, perhaps, than from anything else.
DISTRICT NO. 5.
The success of this school has been about the average of past years. A good teacher was employed, who taught both terms, and gave general satisfaction. She seemed to have an aptness for teach- ing under difficulties, and it was her tact and faithfulness that fur- nished a pretty fair school without any particular thanks being due to the school room. At the examination, late in the Fall, few were
25
present ; and, as the weather was quite cool, and the wind whistled through sundry panes of broken glass, it was rather uncomfortable, and but little enthusiasm was manifested; still, the exercises were creditable to all.
DISTRICT No. 7.
This school, though not so large as some in town, has generally been considered a model school, and ranked high in point of order and scholarship; but this year it can hardly be spoken of as such. The teachers were both young and inexperienced, and, as many of the scholars are considerably far advanced in their studies, the demands they necessarily made were greater than those teaching for the first time are usually called to fulfill, and they found them- selves unequal to the task. "This is spoken particularly of the sum- mer term although it applies somewhat to the winter. During this term also, there has not been that sympathy existing between the teachers and some of the pupils that is desirable, but in the opinion of the committee he has done the best that he could under the cir- cumstances. All then that necd be said is this : while there might have been more improvement in order, the recitations show that a part of the scholars have tried to sustain the former high reputation of the school.
DISTRICT NO. 8.
It gives the committee pleasure to bear witness to the success which has attended the labors of the teacher in this school. It was longer than usual, and consequently more ground was gone over in the studies. This, added to the quiet, judicious and efficient method of teaching pursued, made the school-room pleasant to the scholars as well as to visitors.
DISTRICTS NOS. 2, 3, AND 10.
These districts are all small, and as the schools in them are of about the same class, they are grouped together in this report. That in No. 2 was taught by Miss Greenough, but as my predecessor only visited it when it commenced, and was not notified of the time when it closed, he can not tell much about it. Of No. 3 more, however,
26
can be said. In this district pains were taken to have a good school. Miss Gordon, the teacher, seemed to have an appreciation of her duties and sought to perform them in a faithful manner. In No. 10, taught by Miss George, who is elsewhere spoken of, it was the same. In short both these schools appeared as well if not better than usual, and gave general satisfaction to all who attended the examinations.
This ends the narrative of the state of our public schools. In closing, the committee would say that no general remarks or sug- gestions will be made, and with the annexed statistical table this report is respectfully submitted.
