DISTRICT No. 10.
Miss S. Lizzie Gordon has been employed in this school for two years, to the satisfaction of all the parents, and the great
22
gratification of the scholars. The school has appeared well whenever visited by the Committee, and commendable progress has been made in the studies pursued. The school-house has been greatly improved in its outside appearance by paint, the past year. A little inside adorning would not be out of place.
In closing this Report, a few practical suggestions may be profitably indulged in.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
With one honorable exception these are very far from what they should be. Some are but an " abomination of desolation standing where they ought not." In one district, we are happy to say, the recommendation of our predecessor has been complied with, and the school-house is now " out of the woods," and re- paired internally and externally. Another hundred dollars expend- ed upon this house would make it quite pleasant and attractive.
Of the ancient edifice situated in District No. 5, we have no disposition to speak disparagingly. Let it stand, with its boards flapping in the wind, its shingles blowing hither and thither, its surroundings so attractive and beautiful, consisting of the lumber and logs from the neighboring saw-mill, its perfect ventilation, its uncouth, uncomfortable seats, hewed and hacked by the fathers and grandfathers of the present generation of scholars, and to all appearance likely to serve for generations to come. It is not to be wondered, at, that in a district where so little taste is displayed in the erection and beautifying of private dwellings, there should be little interest in the style or condition of the school-liouse. But in No. 6, where so much enterprise and thrift is manifest on every hand, in that most beautiful section of our town, adorned by so many costly, and truly elegant structures for private residen- ces, where the churches, the stores, the cottages of the mechanics and farmers, and even the barns indicate genuine taste and refine- ment, we are surprised that a building, resembling more a jail than a school-house, entirely unfit for the purpose to which it is devoted, should be allowed to remain a foul blot upon the landscape, and the most unsightly structure in all the district. It is strange that such an attachment should exist for these relics of antiquity,
23
but so it is. The people of these districts have been faithfully admonished, until we fear, it only remains for us to say, " they are joined to their idols, let them alone."
In my report to the Board of Education of the State, I shall feel compelled to represent all the school-houses in town, with one exception, as " unfit for their purposes."
TEXT BOOKS.
An alarming evil prevails in all our schools, in the multiplicity of text books in use. We have felt the need of remedying this evil, but on attempting the task, found our progress stopped by the impossibility of deciding what books had been prescribed by previous Committees. Teachers had felt at liberty to place upon their registers, lists of books to suit themselves, or perhaps, such as the scholars brought to them. In revising the list we introduce no new author, but for the sake of uniformity must cut off some old ones. For the guidance of our successor and the information of parents, we insert the following list: Town's Progressive Readers ; Town's Progressive Speller ; Kerl's Grammar ; Green- leaf's Arithmetic : Guyot's Geography, and Payson, Dunton & Scribner's Writing Books. It is exceedingly desirable that only the above books be used in the various branches named.
BRANCHES TAUGHT.
There has been quite a general and thorough attention to Reading, Spelling and Arithmetic, in all our schools. But other branches have been sadly neglected. In a few schools Geogra- phy has been quite generally studied, but in most, little attention has been given to it. Every scholar should be required to study this useful branch. To the younger scholars oral instruction might be imparted so that all the scholars could be reported as studying Geography. Grammar is almost universally neglected, and when it is attended to, the study is too frequently made a burlesque. Scholars should be instructed and drilled in the cor- rect use of language. History should be studied in our schools. We cannot understand why this most interesting branch of study
24
should be so unpopular. We find that of the 269 scholars attend- ing school the past term, only six have studied History.
We are pleased to notice that the scholars generally attend to Writing. The books we have examined are nearly all creditable specimens of neatness and attempts to imitate a copy. But we find little attempt on the part of the teachers to instruct thorough- ly in this useful art. Children are allowed to select their own book, and nothing like system has been noticed in any school in town. Every teacher should be prepared to give instruction on the black-board. With Payson, Dunton & Scribner's beautiful writing-books, with such clear instructions and directions to teach- ers, it seems impossible but that all our children should become proficients in the use of the pen, if only teachers would do their duty.
PRUDENTIAL COMMITTEES.
Our intercourse with these committees has been very pleasant ; and yet a failure on their part to perform certain duties required by law, has caused us some embarrassment in the prosecution of our work. In a majority of instances we have not been informed of the commencement or close of school. In no case has that re- quirement of the law that the register shall be deposited with the Superintending Committee, been complied with. These com- mittees, we believe, have without exception been well qualified for their office. Due care has been exercised in the employment of teachers, the school-houses have been looked after and kept in repair as far as funds placed at their disposal would allow, and the teachers have been properly sustained and encouraged in their work.
With the accompanying statistical table, this report is closed.

REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
OF DISTRICT NO. 1,
IN THE TOWN OF SALEM.
PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.
First term Miss H. C. Webster of Derry, Teacher. This was Miss Webster's first term of teaching, but notwithstanding this she was very successful, and the school made rapid progress un- der her instruction.
The second term was under the instruction of Miss Marie Wheeler of New York. Miss Wheeler is a teacher of considera- ble experience, and a very able teacher. The order and discipline were very good indeed, and the school made very rapid progress under her instruction.
The third term commencing to-day, Feb. 27, is under the in- struction of Miss Webster, who taught the first term of this school. At this time we cannot tell the success of the school ; but with the experience the teacher has since her first term, we have no fears as to the result of this term.
ADVANCED DEPARTMENT.
The first term was commenced under the instruction of Miss Ida Mullen of Derry, a teacher of experience and ability, and commenced with every prospect of success ; but owing to sickness she was obliged to give up the school after teaching four weeks
21
It was then taken by Miss Webster after the close of the primary school, and carried through very successfully.
The second and third terms were also taught by Miss Webster, and were very successful. Order and discipline were well main- tained, and the schools made good progress. On the whole, your Committee believe we have been very fortunate in the selection of teachers, and that the schools have been as successful as could be expected, with the facilities we have for a graded school.
SUGGESTIONS.
The schools in this district have for the last four years been op- erated under the provisions of the Somersworth Act, and we be- lieve that for a district as large as this, it may be made very beneficial to the district ; but we do not believe that the district can receive all the benefits that the act was intended to confer.
With the present facilities for school room, the present school- house should be enlarged or another built, so that both schools may be in operation at the same time ; and your Committee would earnestly urge upon the district, the necessity of providing another school-room the coming Spring, believing that with another school room, and a small assessment every year above what is required by law, we could have two schools operated almost the entire year. and very much of the money that is paid annually for the educa- tion of our young men and women, might be saved, and a liberal common school education given to all who are disposed to take the benefits of the district school.
Your Committee are very glad to be able to say that a marked improvement has been made the past year in the interest taken by parents in the district, in the frequent visits made to the schools ; and they earnestly hope that they will be continued, believing that by seeing the parents interested in the schools, it will stimu- late the scholars to greater exertions in their respective studies, and result beneficially to the school.
