SCHOOL REPORT.

T o w n - o f W a t e r v i l l e , March, I88fki

S i n c e t h e e s t a b l i s h m e n t of t h e g r a d e d s y s t e m , t h e r e h a s^ ' *been from vcar to year no very marked change in the condi­

tion of the schools. The Superintending School Committee have indeed' been very far from thinking them so perfect as to need no further improvement, and they have steadily labored to make them more efficient, and more worthy of the confi­dence and the just pride of their fellow-citizens) nor have their efforts been without a gratifying measure of success. Experience shows, that in order to secure the best results in educational work, there is always occasion for wise vigilance on the part of committees, of teachers, and of all concerned';

i since in schools, as often in other things, there is sometimes a tendency to rest satisfied with what has been attained, and this, if not carefully guarded againsfi may easily lea#d to retro­gression.

CHANGE OF TEACHERS.At the close of the last school year, four teachers resigned

their places, three in the village, and one in an outside district. They were Mr. F. F. Lvford, the First Assistant in the High School; Miss Ada B. Stevens and Miss Lema C* Goodell, bothof the South Primary School and Miss Della A. Morse of

> * '

the school in the Webb District. At the same time, Miss Ella Maxwell, of the North Primary School, was granted leave of

absence for one term- The place of Mr. Lyford, a highly val­ued teacher in the High School, was filled by transferring to it Miss Minnie L. Smith, one of the teachers in the Oak Street Primary School; and Miss Georgia A. Farrington was elected to the place long so well filled by Miss Stevens in the South P r im a ry School. Miss Carrie N. Foster, who had previously taught in the Neck District, was.put in charge of Miss Farring­ton's school, which was now removed from Temple Street to a building hired for the purpose on Front Street.

In order to fill the vacancies, caused by these resignations and transfers, in the most satisfactory manner, and with entire fair­ness to the numerous applicants for employment in the schools,the Committee deemed it wise to invite them all to furnish such

/ •*t •

evidence of their fitness and comparative merits, as might be gained by a competitive examination. On the day appointed for this purpose, of which seasonable notice was given through the public press, seventeen young women appeared in theHigh School room, and spent several hours in making writtenanswers to lists of questions in the studies, in which the law re­quires that they should be examined* Of this number eleven were found sufficiently qualified jto receive certificates, and five of them have been employed in our schools, three in the village and two in the rural districts ; the Committee, in this case, giving the preference to those who were highest in rank, though they would by no means follow this rule strictly, in cases where other considerations were entitled to weigh with them.

The new teachers thus introduced are Miss Georgia A. Wells of the South Primary School, Miss Kate H. Burleigh of the Oak Street Primary, Miss Jokie Balentine (employed a short time in the North Primary in the absence of Miss MaxweTl), Miss Helen L. Jewett of the school in the Webb District, and Miss Addie Davis of the school on the Neck.

iOwing to the burning of the school-house on the West Water- ville road (the Penny District), there was no school in that part of the town during the fall term ; but the Committee succeeded in hiring a suitable room in the house of Mrs. Josiah Morrill,

and a school is now in session there, taught by Miss Belle 'Turner. As this is one of the old Union Districts, and the children in it of school age are few, and those of them living in Waterville can without any great inconvenience attend other schools, the Committee do not think it necessary to advise the rebuilding of a school-house on or near the site of the one that

O

was destroyed. It is well known that the burnt house was of very little value, and hardly in a fit condition for school purposes.

With the exceptions here noted, the teachers in the different ■ schools are the same as they were last year. The new teachers,

and those put in new places, as well as all the others, can be said to be doing their work with commendable faithfulness, and if not with equal, yet with generally quite satisfactory success.

READING. ‘Among the things taught in the schools, especially the lower

grades,—the primary and to some extent the intermediate,— the Committee attach a special value to reading. Indeed, they do not allow this branch of instruction to be lost sight of in the Grammar Schools nor even in the High School. But many chil­dren never reach these grades ; and a large portion of them are deprived of the benefit of any suitable reading matter in their homes. Hence if they do not learn to read with tolerable ease and correctness in the lower schools, they will not generally ac­quire this ability in their after life, and they will thus fail of the knowledge, enjoyment, and moral advantage which reading is

-4Cable to bring. The taste for reading, especially for good read­ing, is of inestimable worth. Anyone who can read is in a con­dition to supply by himself defects in his education, which would otherwise hardly admit of remedy. In order that more time

'and attention may be given to this important branch of school work, the Committee have already, to a small extent, provided supplementary reading exercises, outside of the regular books;■and they may think it worth while to do more in this direction.

*

O R A L T E A C H I N G .

There must be text-books in the schools, and the teachers as a rule, must assign lessons from them. Yet there is often too much use of text-books, and too much dependence on them.- They need to be often supplemented by oral teaching, and oral teaching may sometimes wisely displace them altogether. The Committee deem this to be true in the case of English Grammar as taught to young pupils in the intermediate schools. The

« . inumerous technical definitions in the books make it a dry and repulsive study, which most children fail to understand. A skil­ful teacher would know how, by means of familiar oral exercises with the aid of a blackboard, to lead the pupils along to a knowl­edge of the different parts of speech, and of the relations of the principal elements of the sentence to each other. An exercise of a quarter of an hour could thus be made to awaken the inter­est and hold the attention of a class, and give more real knowl-

iedge than is gained in quadruple t^e time, as commonly .de-/ / ' * ' voted to the study, in first learning and then reciting an assignedlesson. Older pupils will of course need some text-book.

The best educators are calling for the introduction of object- lessons into schools, as a means of training and strengthening the powers of exact observation and of precise and accurate ex- pression. The instruction thus required must, for the most part, be given orally, or not at all.

S C H O O L A C C O M M O D A T I O N , E l 'C .

The Committee have to repeat the statement, made more than once in previous reports, that there is a lack of provision in the town for the children required to-attend, or for those actually attending the various schools. The room on Front Street, hired the past year of the Lockwood Company for one of the primary schools, is not well suited for the purpose, as it is accessible only by an outside staircase, and cannot be comfortably warmed in the coldest weather. They venture to recommend that theBrown School-house on Mill Street be sold, if possible, or taken

• * ♦

down, since it is old, and in need, it longer used, of expensive repairs, and that a new two-story building be put up on the spot. This would cost the town less than to buy a new lot and erect the necessary building thereon. But in .some way, it -is hoped

• that the town will not longer delay to take action on this matter.As the evening school last )ear, though not a failure, was not.

attended with great success, and was not in any considerable de­gree found to be necessary, as most of the pupils resorting to it might have had even better advantages in the regular schools, where they properly belonged, the Committee have not thought *it desirable to repeat the experiment of such a school the present season. Indeed they have failed to discover that an evening school has been called for in any quarter, or by any of our citizens.

The evil of truancy still exists to some extent. The Committee*think, however, that there has been less of it the past year than

in previous years.y
