ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE
TOWN OF SALEM.
The School Board having attended to the varied duties of their office during the past year would respectfully submit the fol- lowing report :
It has been a year of care and work on the part of the Board, and the teachers we believe have joined with us in earnest efforts to bring up the standard of our schools. There has been a wide spread interest in the cause of education in the town. Pleasure and success have crowned the labors of the year, and we think that it can be truthfully said that the interest of the community in the education of its children has been greater the past year than at any time during the last decade.
LENGTH OF SCHOOLS.
During the past twelve months we have maintained, as in the previous year, eleven schools. Each has been in session thirty- one weeks, divided into three terms. No. 1 has had thirty-three weeks because of the loss of two weeks last year on account of illness among the pupils. Where more than thirty-one weeks ap- pears in the report for any other school the funds to meet that ex- pense have been furnished in those districts by the Prudential Committee under the old school system, as will be seen by the treasurer's report.
28
TOWN REPORT.
SUCCESS OF SCHOOLS.
There has been commendable success in the study of the va- rious branches pursued. We believe there has been careful and accurate teaching, and all the schools have shown an excellent de- gree of advancement. It has been the aim of the Board to in- duce thoroughness in the different branches, rather than a super- ficial passing over of a large portion of the text-books. We be- lieve we have a goodly number of pupils in the various schools whose scholarship compares well with that of any other students of the same age. This success does not arise from any one cause, but is the result of several.
Under the new "town system" the town has generously raised more money than heretofore so that our children have en- joyed excellent facilities for education.
The Board of Education being perpetual, good teachers are more apt to be retained from year to year in the same school ;. This cannot fail to be a great advantage anywhere.
The co-operation of the parents with the teachers and with the Board, as has been manifested in visiting the schools, has also contributed much to the success of the schools during the year.
There can be no more substantial evidence of the interest felt in the cause of education than the large number of pupils that at the present time are sent at private expense to schools out of town. Eight are attending the Pinkerton Academy at Derry, eight the High School at Lawrence, and five the Methuen public schools.
It can be but a source of just pride in our schools that these pupils were considered well qualified for those higher schools, and that they continue to maintain an excellent rank in their respective classes.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of our schools has been very good, (with slight exceptions) and we feel under obligation to the parents who have so generally sustained the good order and thorough disci- pline of the school room. We regret however that there have been a very few instances where parents have failed to sustain the
29
TOWN REPORT.
teachers as they ought, and in one case the parents so objected to the discipline of the school that two of the pupils were suspended because of their misconduct. We would again call the attention of parents to the important part they are acting in relation to the welfare of our schools. . It is in their power to greatly help all our teachers by friendliness and sympathy and to manifest a spirit of co-operation with them in the work of the school-room. It is very easy to criticise, but it is far better to exercise a helpful feel- ing, and if all parents would seek opportunities to help the disci- pline and progress of the schools, greater prosperity would richly reward their endeavors.
School No. 10 was interrupted about. the middle of the win- ter term by the sickness of the teacher, and was closed over two weeks before another teacher could be secured ; however, the term will be finished by Miss Noon of Lawrence, but will not close in season to include that school in our tabular report.
We cannot close our report without calling particular atten- tion to a few schools where the co-operative work on the part of parents clearly manifests itself in the prompt and regular atten- dance of the pupils. as shown by the registers. The advance- ment made in school work has been very gratifying to the Board.
In School No. 8, the largest number of pupils registered is 14 ; there are five that have had perfect attendance during the year, and only four cases of tardiness.
