THE TEACHERS.
For a town to have a carefully selected, well qualified and efficient corps of teachers is a great blessing. Such I know you have intended to employ, and as I have wit- nessed them in their work, I have been convinced that you were in the main very fortunate in securing those that rank high as to moral character, a love for teaching, cul- tured minds and aptness to instruct. It seems that their first object of working in the schoolroom, is not for money but to do good in awakening, enlightening and training young minds to think and advance, as fast as possible in gaining self-discipline and useful knowledge. Most of them have been quite free from the use of the text book in hear- ing classes, showing previous preparation, as should always be the case for class work. This is certainly to be commended and should be required of the teachers as a rule, for the teacher who is not prepared to ask and an- swer the leading questions of a lesson, is not fitted to teach it. What is most needed in class work is that live coals of thought should drop freely from the mind of the teacher. Moodiness or dullness on the part of the teach- er will not make young minds glow and sparkle with thought, any more than punkwood will fire a sand bank. Your teachers have not indulged to any extent in putting questions so as to imply their answers, nor in the pouring in process, which fills the pupil's mind more than full, causing much to run to waste. The instruction mostly
48
has been direct, thoughtful, earnest and very sure to leave a lasting impression to aid in building up character, which should be life's chief object.
In their discipline with a few exceptions they have manifested tact and judgment, and so have been able to sustain good order in their schools. It is a pleasure and satisfaction to be able to speak thus commendatory of your teachers. They have done an exalted work for the pupils that have been under their instruction the past year, giving assurance of better and better work so long as they shall re- main in your employ. They have always spoken as not fully satisfied with the present, being resolved upon mak- ing tomorrow better than today. Their example and walk before their scholars have been uplifting and worthy of imitation. I can but feel that all true parents will hold your teachers in kindly and grateful remembrance for the self-sacrificing help and instruction which they have given their children the past year.
THE SCHOLARS.
The hope of the future is in the rising generation. Let the school children of Troy be true to their natural inheri- tance and appreciation of the educational advantages prof- fered them, and they will be certain to render the future of their town more prosperous than ever in the past. Are we wont to realize that it is not farms, mills, stores and costly residences that give intrinsic value to a town, but Christian and cultured character? This being true, the home, the school, and the church are the important factors in rendering a town attractive and famous for producing good characters. The school serves an important adjunct in producing such a desired result. What picture is more thrilling than that of a schoolroom, filled with orderly and studious pupils, wholly devoted to study and class-work ? How the faces shine as minds grasp new thoughts! Each is treasuring up truths that will abide in the mind forever. The teacher is alive in stimulating the pupils onward and upward. All seem bound to pluck the highest and best
49
fruit on the tree of knowledge. Such a school promises the best reports of scholarship and deportment. Is it pos- sible to have all our public schools thus conditioned? We think so, if all the people will so live as to render it diffi- cult for the young in their midst to go wrong. As a rule the seeds of improper conduct in school are sown in the home, or in the by-ways outside of the school. Let it be enforced upon the young that they should no more think of disturbing the school than the church meeting, and only in extreme cases would it be done.
Now honored school board, I am not going to say that I have found such a perfected school in your town, but I am glad that some of yours are fast approaching such a state. The greater part of your pupils have appeared in the schoolroom to be disposed and desirous of helping make a first-class school, seeming to comprehend the fact that full as much depends upon the pupils, as the teacher, in making an excellent school.
A large number of the pupils have ranked well in schol- arship and deportment; and not a few have received dur- ing the year certificates of perfect attendance, and thus have caused their names to be placed upon the roll of honor.
We regret that two boys so lost their good sense and carried such a high hand in being determined to have their own way in doing mischief and disturbing the schools at- tended, that the school authorities were obliged to suspend them from school, until they shall come forward, asking to be restored and promising the very best behavior, so long as they shall continue in school. The time has fully come when we should realize that we have no moral right to let a bad boy, or girl, remain in school to the detriment of faithful students. Of course all pupils of school age should be in school, but the insubordinate that are in need of police discipline, should be put in an institution estab- lished to govern and reform wayward youths. Most of the students have held their grade, and several have been pro- moted in part, or in full, to a higher class, sustaining their advancement with credit to all concerned. As a whole I
T 7
50
can report the pupils under your charge, as having done excellently well, giving evidence of better results in the years to come.
PARENTS.
As already intimated, parents are responsible for the right education of their children. These are gifts entrusted to their keeping. This momentous work could be more readily done, could their children always remain at home; but this is impossible; therefore, to have them safe as they go into society, it is essential that all should be properly educated and trained; this makes a demand for the public school, which requires all the children in its vicinity to be in it, or in some other condition where an equivalent edu- cation can be obtained. Now this is looking to the welfare of the whole people, clearly showing us that, if we would have good and safe society in which to live, we must have the best of public schools. To do this, ample means must be raised for their support, comfortable and convenient buildings must be furnished, the best of teachers must be secured to instruct the children, and with all the rest, the schools should be carefully supervised and often visited by parents, to know just how they are being managed. Judgments concerning them should not be formed on mere hearsays, particularly from the pupils, for they may be prompted by self-interest, biased in their own favor and against those differing in opinion from themselves. No farmer thinks of turning away his stock to pasture for the summer without going, as often as once in two weeks, to salt them and ascertain their condition. No tradesman will fill a store with costly goods and place them in charge of clerks without frequently inspecting the account books and looking after his business. This is as it should be. Is there not a stronger reason, why parents should visit the schools which their children are attending, to ascertain just how and what they are doing? Then, if the school affairs are moving on successfully, encourage them; if not, then take proper steps to remedy the evils. This speak-
51
ing unkindly of schools and never going near them, is decidedly wrong, quite certain to retard their progress and greatly injure young minds. Disgruntled parents, who fret and scold about schools, but never go near them, are the greatest drawbacks we have to the cause of education.
I should judge that as many visits have been made to the schools of Troy during the last year as usual; still we do feel that all parents are under special obligation to visit their schools several times during each year for the sake of their children and their own benefit. The schools and the churches should draw the crowds, not the min- strel show, nor the circus.
BRIEFS.
Your supervisor has made during the year 147 visits to your schools; held three teachers' meetings; and three edu- cational meetings. Your school buildings are now in very good repair; but slight damage has been done to them during the year. With but one exception, when pupils have done injury to the buildings they have come right forward relating facts and wishing to make the damage good. This is to be highly commended, but those that play the shirk and deceive are to be censured as small and mean.
For the most part the text-books have been used with care. I have discovered in a few instances pages marked with pencilings and seen some pupils carelessly bending the covers of the books back so as to meet, which is almost certain to throw the body of the book from the binding. Now as these are loaned books, they deserve to be used with the utmost care; no unnecessary defacements can or should be tolerated. The pupil that keeps his desk and books clean and orderly, is forming a habit that will always be a friend and a recommend to himself.
The greatest hindrance to advancement in the schools of Troy, as well as in other towns, is occasioned by absences and tardinesses. These waste money and injure mind. When caused by sickness we have nothing to say. But for parents to keep their children at home, when it is
52
not absolutely demanded, is a sin. Whispering, the arch- fiend to our schools, still lingers somewhat in the schools of Troy. It is to be greatly desired that this enemy to highest culture should be trampled under foot, never to be revived.
A very few cases have been brought to our notice in which pupils have equivocated as to the truth and in- dulged somewhat in profanity. Let these great evils become active and they will soon ruin one for life. They never build up character, but always tear it down.
Your janitors have been faithful in their service, especially has this been the case with the one in charge of the village buildings. Evidently his aim, as truant officer and janitor, is to do faithfully his whole duty.
Troy is vexed like other towns with some pupils that work hard to play the truant, and their parents appear to help them on in the wrong; we do not know of any cure for this except a good dose of the law; and if they are unable to pay fines, they can pay the penalty by living on bread and water in close confinement for a while. This latter medicine has hitherto wrought remarkable cures. We hope that Troy will not be obliged to resort to this medicine.
The schools out of the village should have as many weeks of schooling as those in it. The school board would be glad to have it so. This is needed in order to keep the grades at the same par throughout the town. If the parents connected with these schools should not be united and deeply interested in sustaining them, it is plain that at no distant period they will so decrease in numbers and interest, as to be given up, and what pupils remain there will be required to attend school in the village. The school on East Hill, and the one in the Merrifield section have done remarkably well the past year and promise better things to come. ( It is hoped the West Hill school will be restored the ensuing spring, so as to have the rank of being a good school. )
53
CONCLUSION.
To you, the school board, permit me to express my most grateful thanks for the cooperation and support which you have given me in my responsible duties. I also wish to express gratefulness to the teachers, who have been truly respectful as I have visited their schools, advised and counseled with them, as to methods, measures and lines of work. It has likewise afforded me inexpressible pleasure, as I have met the scholars in their schools and out of them, for they have conducted themselves with the utmost propriety, giving repeated assurances in various ways that they were doing their best to outgrow them- selves in improving their minds, bodies and hearts.
As I have met parents and friends of education in your goodly town in a friendly, an official or public capacity, they have given me helpful and appreciative service, and thereby cheered me on my way in doing my best for the good of their children.
Lastly suffer me to urge you all to cherish your public schools, striving incessantly to make them better and bet- ter, and so on to the very best, and you will sooner or later receive the cheering plaudit, "Well done."
Respectfully submitted,
S. H. McCOLLESTER, Supervisor of Your Schools.
