A SUGGESTION.
The next Superintending Committee may not have graded schools ; he may have graded studies. This is a necessity. I have found many instances of scholars, in the fifth and sixth readers, who have never studied grammar, and others, in the same readers, who should be in the third and fourth readers ; and other studies in the same proportion. The only remedy for this evil is to grade the studies. Do this, and your schools will have realized a long needed develop- ment and reform.
DISTRICT No. 1.
This District, in the Summer and Winter Terms, had two schools, primary and advanced departments.
22
PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.
In the Summer and Fall, this school was under the in- struction of Miss Sarah M. Moody, of Methuen, Mass. With no suitable place or furniture for a primary school, yet Miss Moody had a fair degree of prosperity.
ADVANCED DEPARTMENT.
The Summer and Fall Terms of this school were taught by Miss Annie L. French, of Kingston, N. H. Miss French conducted her school with more than usual ability, develop- ing it in all its branches most successfully. None of the schools have made better general progress than hers.
In the Winter Term both the departments were united, and under the instruction of Miss Josephine Bartley, of Reading, Mass. Miss Bartley had a great error to contend with, - the union of two schools. She has been untiring in her efforts to improve the school, but it was too large, and, unfortunately, out of proportion in the grade of its scholars for good discipline or any marked improvement If this District would enlarge its present school-house, or build another for its primary school, it would be a very profitable investment.
DISTRICT No 2.
Miss Laura J. Goodhue, of Salem, N. H., taught both terms, Summer and Fall, in this District, with good success. She went to her school with the desire to improve it, and the examination at the close of each term was sufficient guarantee that she had not labored in vain,
23
DISTRICT No. 3.
The Summer and Fall terms of this school were taught by Miss Abbie A. Johnson, of Hampstead, N. H. Miss John- son did all that a teacher could for her school, and succeeded well. Considering the grade of her scholars, the examina- tions were good. The District, I think, is fully satisfied.
DISTRICT No. 4.
This school, in its Summer and Fall terms, was favored with an experienced teacher, Miss Sophia Moulton, of Hamp- stead, N. H. Miss Moulton is gentle, firm, but never se- vere in the school-room. Her motto is win first, then elevate. She is a successful teacher, respected by scholars and parents.
The Winter Term was taught by Miss Annie S. Moulton, of Hampstead, N. H., and was one of the best schools of the Winter Terms. This teacher is thorough, decided, and a good disciplinarian. Her school was always orderly, and the recitations and examinations of the highest degree.
DISTRICT No. 5.
Miss Nellie F. Little, of Atkinson, N. H., has charge of this school. Miss Little has good ability, and, as a teacher is successful. The Summer Term of the school appeared well, though in the old house ; but the Winter Term which commences in the new house, it is hoped, will make greater proficiency, from its new surroundings and incentives. This school will not close for a few weeks, having waited for the completion of the new house.
DISTRICT No. 6.
The Summer and Fall Terms of this school were taught by Miss Ina S. Carleton, of Salem, N. H. This is a large
-
-
--
24
school, but Miss Carleton seemed prepared for the emer- gency, and went to her school determined to have a good one, and she succeeded. All feel satisfied, and I think there is no cause to feel otherwise.
The Winter Term of this school was under the instruction of Samuel G. Middleton, of Salem, N. H., a teacher of su- perior qualifications and ability. The examination of this school was very fine ; there has been no better one in the town. Mr. Middleton taught his scholars to think, a rare thing in a town school.
DISTRICT No. 7.
The Summer Term of this school was in charge of Miss Fannie E. Kelley, of Pelham, N. H., an earnest, faithful teacher, loving her work, and in all respects giving entire satisfaction. The examination was very good.
The Winter Term was taught by Miss Mary A. Crosby, - -, Maine, and in government was not quite satisfac-
tory, but the scholars made good progress in their studies.
DISTRICT No. 8.
This school in the Summer, was under the care of Miss Ella M. Pattee, of Suncook, N. H. I cannot say too much in commendation of this teacher. For government, tact in teaching both primary and advanced classes, and the general development of a school, I have not found an equal. Miss Pattee is fully appreciated in the district, and will be where- ever employed.
Ina S. Carleton, of Salem, N. H., taught the Winter Term, and was very successful. The examination, at the close of this term, has my unqualified approval ; it was thorough and progressive.
25
DISTRICT No. 9.
Miss Jennie A. Smith, of Salem, N. H., taught the Sum- mer Term of school. Miss Smith had not had any experi- ence in teaching before this term. She has many excellent qualifications for a teacher, and had a good degree of success.
The Winter Term was in charge of Amos E. Rollins, of Methuen, Mass. Mr. Rollins had a good school in all re- spects. The examination was one of the most interesting that I have attended, the teacher and pupils demonstrating clearly they were well posted in all branches of their studies. Mr. Rollins is well qualified for a higher position.
DISTRICT No. 10.
This school in both Summer and Fall Terms, was favored with Miss Hannah J. Bradley, of Haverhill, Mass., an experienced teacher, earnest, and most decidedly devoted to the school. The scholars made good progress, and appeared well at the examinations.
