REPORT OF

SUPERVISORofSCHOOLS.T o t h e C it iz e n s o f S c a r b o r o :

T he following report of the schools of the town for the year 1S90-91 is respectfully submitted.

A m ount of Money raised for Common Schools, - $2000.00“ “ “ - “ H igh School, - - 500.00‘‘ ‘ “ “ “ T ext Books, - 350.00“ “ received from State, - 995.84T he whole number of scholars in the Tow n is 533.O ur schools have generally been harmonious the past y e a r ;

not one instance of serious difficulty between teacher and pupils had occurred.

To be harmonious is one thing, to be profitable is another. In order to have a profitable term , the teachers must have an interest in their work, must gain the love and respect of their pupils. In order to have such teachers, parents must uphold their authority, must be ready to co-operate w ith them in every effort for a punctu­al, orderly, hardw orking school.

O ur Agents have generally been men interested in school affairs ; their wisdom in the selection of teachers has contributed much to the success which has attended our schools during the year. Too great care cannot be used in selecting those who are to be, not instructors only, but continual examples before the young. While pupils are obtaining an education, they are equally active in forming a character for life.

T he w inter terms were more profitable than the summer, j found w here the teacher failed to make their school profitable the agents did all in their power to secure the services of other teachers.

2 9

I have lo designate that the summer terms in Districts No. 4^(1 .mil 1 1 were not satisfactory.

I have observed more of mere lesson hearing than I |, |.r ,I ll seems that teachers ought to take interest enough in ill, n w m l to be sufficiently well acquainted with the subject 11 ml I el nl Hie lesson they hear to dispense partially w ith the use o f 1I1. ii I bunk during recitation, and be able to ask some questions in.I u ' 1 five answers w ithout both teacher and pupils using the ■... 1.1 . found in the book. There is too little teaching in the dm 1 linn nf Intelligent thought.

I would suggest to the teachers in general, the adoption of a 1111111 systematic mode of conducting classes in w riting ; there

In mill be three exercises at least every week in this departm ent, tin- teachers devoting their attention to it during the allotted time.I would here recommend that the Supervisor be given authority I., pi l ie base the writing books.

In .11 ilhmetic there should be more tim e and attention given In .iii.ily Ii, al reasoning. I f scholars are taught to think and reason In 1 1 linn rives, they will be ready when they are called upon to do ms lliiu;; that requires a little independent thought.

I look ll upon myself to insist in a drill in Colburn’s intellect-II 11 ,11 il hmrlie. I appeal to the parents to see that their children . ni il i 1 it ie in the work begun and it w ill be a step never to be re­el el led.

When we abolish the district, adopt the town system, make p a changes in teachers, then the public schools of Scarboro will 1.111I. among the first and not until then.

Our school houses are in a deplorable condition as regards \ ci 11 i hi I ion, with the exception of two whose condition allows a pie 1 il iIul circulation of air. Parents who would daily feed their children with food filled with filthy and poisonous substances would lie regarded as extremely cruel and inhum an, but none theI........... id and inhuman is it to confine children six hours daily in"in m I.....I rooms where the only attem pt at ventilation is lowering1 lew inches the upper sash of the windows, or through an opens

mg hi I lie ceiling, both inefficient, because utterly w rong in prin- ■ i pie, lo ,a\ nothing of the danger from sudden cold draughts

3 0

attendant on the former method. W ith th irty or forty pupils con - fined w ithin one of our small school rooms on a cold day, w ith closed doors and windows, with an atmosphere largely deprived of its oxygen, w hat wonder is it that violent headaches prevail among the more delicate, lessons are poorly learned, that the teacher becomes im patient and irritable, and that everything seems unsatisfactory and disagreeable.

T he presence of the parents occasionally in the school is re­quisite to the best progress of their children.; while we may appropriate money and procure the services of the best teachers, the highest results cannot be obtained w ithout the individual attention of the parents.

F R E E H IG H S C H O O L .This school of two term s: Fall and w inter, was under the

charge B. E . C lark, who proved himself an efficient teacher. Accurate scholarship characterizes all his teachings, while some of the higher branches of learning was taught in this school attention was given to those most useful. T he pupils have show n a constant interest and have pursued their studies w ith a mat ked industry. Let us keep pace w ith our adjoining towns and < out In ue the H igh School; such a school is needed in town ; il would enable our young men to qualify themselves for the i m| >m1 .oil positions they will be called to fill. F it them to fill oul |>l.i< ■ w ith a thorough practical education, and it will ever he to Ihema source of wealth, prosperity and happiness I would ...........mend an appropriation for its continuance at least a\ I.n o ,r, that of last year.
