THE ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
The school year has been, in the main, one of har- mony and quiet progress in the schools. It is an ad- vantage to have the same teacher for successive terms, so long as the teacher is successful and thoroughly in- terested in the school. A majority of the schools have had this advantage the past year ; others have had the same teacher for two terms; and in some cases the teacher had previously taught the same school, or others in the town. Credit is due to the teachers for earnest and faithful endeavors, and for good work accomplished. Suggestions made further on with reference to particu- lar schools may be applicable in a less degree to others, and should be noted by all.
Some of the school-rooms have not been sufficiently cared for by the Committee. Smoke is a nuisance in the school-room : worn out and tottering stove-pipe is unsightly and dangerous. Broken panes of glass, and broken fastenings of blinds, and inefficacious door- catches, are annoyances for whose long continuance there can be no excuse.
The number of school-children in the town, between the ages of five and fifteen years, as reported by the selectmen, is 222: boys, 110, girls, 112. Of such 224 are enrolled as attending school. The whole number of scholars thus enrolled is 274.
24
DISTRICT NO. 1.
Miss Mary E. Noyes of Derry,-teacher last year-con- tinued in charge of this school during the first term. On the part of both teacher and pupils the interest in their work appeared to be less than during the preced- ing year. In the closing examination, little girls did finely : older scholars did well in part. Mr. Charles H. Bates, of Davenport, Mass., was secured for the second and third terms. He came well recommended, and has done excellent work, much improving the school. He has the faculty of securing the good-will of his pupils, and stimulating their interest in their studies. The thorough and efficiently conducted examination at the close of the fall term, with quick movements, and prompt, distinct, and generally correct, answers on the part of the pupils, gave much satisfaction. Good spec- imens of book-keeping, written spelling, and written solutions of mathematical problems, as well as of pen- manship, were on exhibition. The large class in spel- ling had been drilled on 500 words with good result. The reading was characterized by improved strength of voice, and, in general, good expression. The winter term is in successful progress at the writing of this re- port. The school-room has been much improved in ap- pearance, funds for the purpose having been raised by an entertainment.
DISTRICT NO. 2.
Miss Mary E. Eaton, of No. Haverhill, Mass., taught both terms of this pleasant little school. It was her first school ; but she taught with gentleness and fidelity, and good improvement was made. The progress of little girls in reading, and in the use of figures, was specially noted.
25
DISTRICT NO. 3.
Miss Emma B. Gordon, who taught the preceding fall term, was employed for the first term of this year. She did faithful work, and good progress was secured. In the examination in Arithmetic, the pupils were usu- ally prompt and accurate in definitions and tables ; some of them less so in practical working. For the second term, Miss Anna C. Hemphill, of Derry, was teacher. The order was good, and the management. Classes in Algebra, Arithmetic, and other branches did very well. In the examination the method of putting questions was not always the best. There was some want of promptness and distinctness in answering. This term was prolonged two weeks by funds raised by an entertainment given by the school. Increased en- thusiasm and determination to accomplish the most possible, are needed in this school. Is it necessary that there should be so many absences of pupils ?
DISTRICT NO. 4.
The first term had an unfortunate beginning. The teacher first engaged lacked some qualifications essen- tial to success, and left at the end of the first week without conferring with the Superintendent or the Pru- dential Committee. She received no wages but board, and no account is made of this week in the statistical tables. After another week, Miss Mary A. Taylor took the school,-her first,-and carried it on successfully through the year. Good order was maintained, and good work done. At the close of the third term, the spelling of all the classes was good, and the recitations in Geography and in mental and written Arithmetic. One class was presented for examination in the whole of Greenleaf's Common School Arithmetic, and two- scholars in the last forty-nine pages of the National
26
Arithmetic. The pupils need to learn to explain clearly and effectively their work upon the blackboard, without questions ; and some need to acquire a distinct enun- ciation and louder tone ; and, in reading, the power and habit of making better cadences. Commendation must be given for constancy and 'punctuality in attendance. Lizzie E. Goodhue, now about nine years old, whose home is nearly a mile and a half from the school, has been absent only one-half day in three years. Others have done nobly besides those named in the " Roll of Honor."

Miss L. E. Harris, of Windham, who had previously taught this school, was employed for both terms, with satisfaction. In the examinations at the end of the terms, the recitations evidenced thorough drilling, in general, though there were occasional failures. As in some of the other schools, there was a nice little class in primary Arithmetic. An easier modulation and bet- ter tone are desirable on the part of some of the scholars in reading.
DISTRICT NO 6 .- PRIMARY.
The teacher of the first term, Mrs. Helen J. Bunnell, of Henniker, worked hard, gave thorough instruction, and good progress was made. Miss Mary W. East- man, a teacher of much experience in the schools of Troy, N. Y., took charge of the school at the beginning of the second term, and continued through the year. She has qualities specially fitting her for this depart- ment, winning the confidence of the children and mak- ing them happy. The examinations showed good work and much improvement in the branches pursued.
It is difficult to keep in good order so large a number
27
of little children as are found in this school. Still it may be hoped that more may be effected in this direc- tion another year.
DISTRICT NO. 6 .- GRAMMAR.
This school was fortunate in having one teacher for the whole year-Miss Susan C. Eastman, of Henniker. Good order was maintained, and thorough instruction given. Special exercises in elocution were practiced, much improvement in reading was secured, and good progress was made in other branches. Some fine work in book-keeping was done, and the writing of compo- sitions was attended to with good results. It was pleasing to see a large and well-trained class in mental Arithmetic. Three classes were specially drilled in fractions, the last term, and bore good tests of profi- ciency in that part of Arithmetic. It is not necessary to mention other recitations, which showed fidelity on the part of both teacher and pupils.
The school money of this district was sufficient for only two or three weeks of the winter term. About fifty dollars have been contributed by individuals in the district for lengthening the schools, and a larger sum has been raised by entertainents, through the efficiency of Miss S. C. Eastman, who has also given a week's teaching.
DISTRICT NO. 7.
This school had, for the first term, the same teacher as for the corresponding term of the preceding year, Mrs. Della Kimball. Reviews had not been entered upon when the second visit was made, near the close of the term. A part of the recitations and black-board work was good ; but a more vigorous management, with con- stant reviewing would have secured still better results.

The fall term was taught by Mrs. Senie S. Mason, the teacher in Dis rict No. 8 during the former year. The school was well managed, excepting perhaps a lack of sufficient review drilling, and good work was done ; but sickness in the district prevented the constant attendance of several pupils a part of the term.
DISTRICT NO. 8.
Miss Harriet E. Crosby, of Methuen, a recent gradu- ate of the High School, taught this school both terms. It was a good school, orderly, well-conducted in general, with good results. Miss Crosby possesses the qualities of a good teacher. There were few absences of mem- bers the second term. It was unfortunate that the summer term was prolonged till August, while the fall term did not begin till October.
DISTRICT NO. 9.
This school, taught both summer and winter by Miss M. Edna Haseltine, of Ayers Village, Mass., was found in good order at every visit, and well managed ; and the examinations were in general, very satisfactory. Some of the scholars did finely. Miss Haseltine is a good teacher, and in this school she worked faithfully, under some disadvantages. The smallness of the number of scholars is a disadvantage; and another is the failure of some of the parents to co-operate wisely with the teacher.
DISTRICT NO. 10.
Miss Emma F. Goodhue, who had taught other schools in the town with success, was secured as teacher for both terms of this school. The improvement in reading and spelling was gratifying, and good work was
29
done in other branches. The final examination resem- bled in vigor, promptness and correctness that referred to in No. 1.
The roll of honor and table of statistics of the schools are appended.
Respectfully submitted, GEO. A. PERKINS.
