ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
OF THE
TOWN OF SALEM, NEW HAMPSHIRE,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1869.
DISTRICT No. 1.
The Schools in District No. 1 were regulated according to the Somersworth act. They were not therefore under the supervision of the Superintending Committee of the town, but in the hands of a committee of five citizens, residing in the district, who were chosen by a District School Meeting.
The following is their report: When the schools opened in the spring the committee graded the scholars according to their profi- ciency in the studies. The advanced school met in the school house, and a second room was hired for the accommodation of the primary school.
Miss Belle Moulton, of Hampstead, taught the primary depart- ment during the year. The first term was kept at some disadvan- tage. The room was the best to be had, but it was inconvenient and ill adapted to the wants of the school. After a reasonable vacation in the summer it was deemed expedient that this school should hold its second term during the fall time, because then the children would not have to travel through the cold and snow to reach their school, and at this time the school could occupy the
23
school house with its superior accommodations, and save the rent of the other room to the school's advantage. The school was a success, and it illustrated the correctness of the idea advanced by former committees, that there should be a strictly primary school in this district.
The advanced school was taught by Miss Susan E. Sawyer, of Georgetown, Mass. She taught well and kept excellent order. L. Everett Fogg was teacher in the winter. Having taught the school during two winters he knew the ground and commenced teaching immediately, without using a week to become acquainted and get organized. This term was short, being only eight weeks in length ; this militated against the high degree of success that was hoped for and expected by many. But during the time used harmony prevailed and the school made marked improvement. The old Grammars were ruled out by your committee and Quackenboss's series introduced. Greenleaf's Arithmetic was also superceded by Appleton's. We regard these changes as a movement in the right direction, and would call the attention of the parents to the fact that the Geographies are out of date and should give place to Guyot's series at the opening of the Spring term.
Some improvements are necded in this district immediately, to advance the cause of education among us. The school house is in every respect the great stone of stumbling. With two schools on our hands we must have two school rooms or there will be just cause for complaint. Very few people will be satisfied with the way the the schools are divided, the length of the terms, or the way their money is expended. With two school rooms both schools can be in session at the same time, and we would thus avoid all " quick- sands and shoals."
The question should be agitated until the people are fully aroused to meet the demand by appropriating money and appointing a com- mittee to use it in adding another story to the present building.
Suggestions should be made to the parents on compelling their children to attend school, and on keeping them there until the close of the term. But we forbear, by adding, will the parents of chil- dren that attend school in District No. 1, be kind and just enough to their children to visit the schools more frequently and study the wants of the scholars, become interested and active supporters of education among the young. It will be an efficient means for en- riching them in the rudiments of knowledge.
JOHN R. WHEELER, THEODORE L. FLOOD, JAMES AYER.

DISTRICT No. 2.
This is a Primary school, and small in numbers; it was taught both summer and winter by Miss Margie L. Bradley, of Haverhill, Mass. The schoolhouse is badly located, the surroundings are cheerless, and present but few encouragements to diligence in study. The people should seek a more convenient and attractive location ; it would yield a sufficient reward in the pleasure it would afford the children, teachers and parents.
DISTRICT No. 3.
The Summer term was taught by Miss Annie S. Moulton, of Hampstead, and the Winter term by Miss Addie A. Austin, of Ayer's Village, Mass. The last being the longest of the two terms it had a decided advantage. When a school is in good running condition the last two weeks will be more fruitful than the first three. The habits of study are formed, an insight to the studies is secured, the teacher and scholars are acquainted, and everything combines to give a school momentum, when if the term is short it ends. Longer terms are greatly needed that the children may gather the rich harvest within their reach.
DISTRICT No. 4.
This school in North Salem opened under unpromising circum- stances. The active school men in the district bad been discouraged with the unsatisfactory order and conduct of the school during several of the last terms. Miss Laura A. Knight, of Atkinson was secured as teacher for the Summer term. She had the vantage ground of a large experience in the school room, and passed through the term so well that it was said by one of the oldest, most experienced and wisest citizens of the district that it had been the best school kept in the village for three years. The prudential committee very wisely secured the same teacher for the Winter term. The school was now tested during a term of sixteen weeks, and sustained its character well, closing with a satisfactory exam- ination.
DISTRICT No. 5.
This school is composed of scholars who are all very young, and we wondered several times where the larger boys and girls were. Miss Eliza Woodbury taught in the summer, and Miss Julia M.
25
Wright, of N. Y., in the winter. Both were experienced teachers and the school prospered under their care. While attending the closing examination for the year we were caught in a rain storm, which proved that the old school house is not water-proof, hence we speak from experience when we say that for the good name of the district and the town, there should be a new school house in district No. 5 immediately.
DISTRICT No. 6.
This was the largest school in town. The scholars ranged from A B C classes up to those in the highest branches taught in any of our schools. This of course, made the duties of the teacher ardu- ous. Miss Araminta D. Richardson, of Pelham, taught the Summer term, and Henry A. Fulsom, a student in Dartmouth College, the Winter term. They were both experienced in teaching and had taught this school before with success. The school house was struck with lightning on the night of February 3d, and so damaged as to be unfit for use. The school was continued in the vestry of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, where at this writing it is still in progress, giving promise of being a good term throughout.
A two story schoolhouse should now be built in the village, and the school graded, for with the present number and variety of scholars, no teacher can do them justice; some must be slighted, perhaps all; but by grading the school each scholar may receive his just due. Here is an opportunity for this district to make a great blunder, or to make a much needed improvement that will be a blessing alike to old and young.
DISTRICT NO. 7.
The teachers of this school were, in the summer, Miss Susan C. Smith of Salem; in the winter, Miss L. G. Mitchell of Haverhill, Mass. We were pleased with the record this school made for itself, though we are satisfied that it does not rank as high among the schools of the town, as it did in former years ; it may be said that it is one of the best schools in the list, but it is no longer the best. No's 1, 4, 6, and 9 are with it in the race, and the future will reveal which will take the lead. The school is a good size, composed of promising scholars, and has been faithfully taught throughout the year.
26
DISTRICT No. 8.
The prudential committee of this district got hold of a capital idea, and used it, viz. : Get a good teacher and keep her through the year. Miss Kate F. Cleaveland of Lebanon, was the teacher both summer and winter. The school is large, and there is a good variety of classes ; if there is much of an increase in the number of scholars in years to come, the district will feel the same need of another school room that is felt in No.'s 1, 6, and others.
DISTRICT NO. 9.
This school had the advantage of a good schoolhouse, long terms, and good teachers. Miss E. Jennie Worthen, of Methuen, Mass., taught the first, and Miss Mary T. Currier, of Manchester, the second term. At the last examination we witnessed quite a " per- formance," an exhibition and examination mixed. It reflected credit on all concerned, but we doubt the propriety of holding ex- hibitions during school hours. If a school has them, they should not interfere with its regular course of studies, and especially with the examination.
The parents in this district take the prize for visiting their school. Some twenty or more parents and friends were in attendance on the closing examination, giving it the appearance of a " literary field day."
DISTRICT No. 10.
This was a primary school, and small in numbers ; it was taught by Miss Annie E. George of Hampstead. She was popular among her scholars, and attained a good degree of success.
TEACHERS AND MONEY.
In concluding this report I submit the following thoughts, sug- gested by the year's experience in your service as committee. The teachers are changed too frequently. No two persons teach exactly alike ; habits of thought and ideas of propriety in imparting instruc- tion differ widely in different men. A new teacher employed in the same school every term tends to confuse and embarrass the schol- ars. A slight difference in the style of teachers is a mountainous difficulty for a child's mind, and in trying to harmonize an apparent inconsistency or difference the child forms the habit of suspicion,
27
and looks suspiciously upon the instructions of the best teachers. In our larger towns and cities good teachers are secured, and when possible they are retained in their positions. They understand their scholars, -their capacity and resources. The school may change, but the teacher, if good and successful, remains. A rest- less spirit among the people, that offers objections to teachers, and asks for a new one every term, ought to be frowned out of sight. The school meetings should pass resolutions instructing their Pru- dential Committees to employ the same teacher as long as he is successful and can be had. But this alone would not be a perfect remedy ; the office of teacher must be remunerative, and as nearly a permanent position as possible. If it lacks these features, we will be subjected to dependence upon an extemporized militia movement for the education of our children. To accomplish this there must be more money raised. Without money all our plans are failures ; money makes the schools go,-without it they stop. The town raised for schools during the year, ten hundred and sixty . four dollars and eighty cents, -dog tax included .* This was divided among eleven schools, and when apportioned to the average attendance of scholars, it was three dollars and thirty-three cents per scholar. This was just about half enough ; it should be doub- led, and the town should appropriate the money. It would yield a rich produce of knowledge in the community five or ten years hence, and give the town a valuable degree of prestige. The present Literary and Railroad revenue of the town is paralyzing the spirit of the people on this subject. They don't pay enough to feel an interest in the cause. The town raises as much money per poll for highways as it does for schooling. The man who keeps a dog pays a higher tax on him than he does school tax for his child. These things ought not so to be. The lovers of education, the men of wealth and public spirit, with the parents of children, ought to ask persistently from year to year, until the sums of money so much needed are raised. Good schools will call good families into a community, and hold valuable families already settled, while poor schools will bar from a town those families that love education and progress, and perhaps compel men valuable to community to take their families elsewhere to secure better advantages. Let more money for the schools be the watchword from this time on.
With the following statistical table the report is concluded.
