1886 Annual Town Report
OF TI~E TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, AS PRESENTED BY THE AI. DIrOR,S, FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING JANUARY 6, t886. AND TILE REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE. TEIIRT Y-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, FOR THE YEAR t885. 1886. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. To the Citizens qf the Town of ~rorth A~dover : The School Committee herewith respectfully submit their report of the public schools for the year ~885. By the provision of the Public Statutes of tl~e Commonwealth. it is required that "the School Committee shall annually make a detailed report of the condition of the several public schools, which report shall contain such statements and suggestions in relation to the schools as the Committee may deem necessary or proper'to promote the interests thereof." It is also provided that--"In every town there shall be kept a sufficient numl~er of schools for the instruction of all the chil- dren who may legally attend public school therein, in ortho- graphy, reading, writing, English grammar, geography, arith- metic, drawing, the history of the United States, and go~)d behavior. Algebra, vocal music, agriculture, se~viug, physiology, and hygiene shall be taught, by lectures or otherwise, in all the public schools in which the School Committee deem it expe- dient.'' Of the branches that are permitted to be taught, algebra is taught in the High school, vocal music in all the schools, and physiology and hygiene have been added to the mandatory studies. A sewing school has been opened at Stevens Hall through the kindness of. a number of ladies, where instruction is given to a large class of pupils. ~¢IIOOL HIGH SCHOOL. This school under its present management is in a satisfactory condition. The teachers have labored faithfully for the welfare e[ the school, and the pupils have aided them in striv%ng to make tho year's work a credit to themselves an..d to the town. Of the twenty applicants for admission, nineteen passed the required examination and were admitted; several of these, how- ever, have not availed themselves of the privileges of the school. MERRIMACK SCHOOL, Usually there are a large nnmber of pupils that present them- selves for the first time at the beginning of the Spring term, · and the Spring of ~885 was no exception. In anticipation of this increase, the Committee were fortunate in securing accom- modations in the small vestry of the Methodist church,--the society very kindly leasing it for that purpose,--and thh'ty-four pupils wh~ had been to school only a few weeks or ~ot at all, were placed there in charge of Miss Henrietta Hatch. In the Fall, this school was organized into a permanent school attended by the youngest children livin§ north of the Merrimack build- ing,*and it so remains. In September, at the opening of the term, it was found necessary to provide a school room to relieve rooms 4 and 5~ and pupils were taken from these rooms and placed in the large vestry of the church which was also leased t~or that purpose, and Miss Tucker, assistant in room No. ~, }vas appo[n~ced to this charge. The vacancy caused by Miss Card's leave of absence was filled by the appointment of Miss Bessie M. Shepard, and Miss Annie E. Sanborn was appointed to the place made vacant by the transfer of Miss Tucker. There are now ten schools in the Merrimack district, two of which ~ill be trans[erred to the Bradstreet school-house as soon as that building is ready for occupancy. SC}{OO L I~F~POI{T. 5 These schools sustain their excellent reputation in all those respects which characterize good schools everywhere. This is due to the fact that the teachers are determined to obtai'n the best results p~ssible, and are most faithful in their work. _All branches of the course of study have received attention and with satisfactory results. Reading, mention of which was made last year, has greatly improved, and the excellence iu language and composition deserves special mention and is very gratifying. UNION SCHOOLS. These schools have been fortunate in having no change of & teachers for several years. Miss Greene anal Miss Needham are too well known to need any commendation of ours. One has only to visit' these schools, to see that the pupils are kept busy, and that the teachers are successful in maintaining good ~rcler ~vith the least possible friction. CENTRE SCHOOLS. Both these schools have had a change of teachers since the last report. Miss Helen C. Sargeat,~who had taught the Kimball school for a year and a half, was transferred to Centre No. I, to succeed Mr. Pollard~ who resigned to resume his studies. Miss Waters at th~ close of the Spring term retired from the pro- fession, and Miss Martha P. Palmer, a teacher of experience, was appointed her successor.~ Both these teachers have worked earnestly for the interest of their schools, and so far as known, have given general satisfaction to the community as well as to the Committee. V^RN mx~ SCt~0OC. Miss Hannah F. Carleton has had Charge of this school during the entire year. Good order prevails in the school, and the work moves on so systematically and thoroughly, that nothing but success can result. Teacher, pupils and parents seem to be in perfect harmony. One pupil from this school passed a very satisfactory ex- amination for admission to the High school last July. KIMBALL SCHOOL. Miss Mary A. Berry, whose services for a long time proved so acceptable in the Farnham school was appointed to suc- ceed Miss Sargent. This change was not detrimental to the school; as is sometimes the case, as Miss Berry's acquaintance with the parents and pupils, and her experience in teaching en- abled her to take the work from Miss Sargent, and carry it on successfully. The school is in every respect in a satisfactory condition. ro~ A~ mvE~t SCHOOLS. If all the pupils in these two districts were put together they would not make a fair sized ,}chool. Yet it became necessary during the Summer. to keep open both schools because the pupils of either district could not conveniently attend the other on account of the distance, The teacher's task in either of these schools would be much pleasanter could she have a few more pupils. The Pond school is' somewhat more advanced than the River, yet with the exception of one or two pupils. both these Schools might be called primary. Miss Pollard of the Pond having secured a more remunera- tive position resigned in May last, and Miss Helen E. Roache has filled the vacancy very acceptably. The River school, which had been closed since April I883, was opened in April last with Miss Nellie H. Farmer as teacher. SCHOOL 1D~PORT, This school seemed so much more like a family than a school that it was always a pleasure to visit it. Miss Farmer resigned at the close of the Spring term, and Miss Alice McKone was appointed for the Fall term. Mv,s~c. This branch of instruction has received more attention for a few years than formerly, and is in charge of Mr. Edward Butterworth. A few minutes is devoted to this study daily, is much enjoyed by the pupils and serves as a recreation. Much progress has been made nnder Mr. Butterworth's earnest efforts. We are sure the citizens appreciate the pursuance of this branch of study and would regret its discontinuance. TEXT--nOOKS. In addition to the text-books furnished the schools last year, nearly I225 books have been distributed since January Ist, [885. Of this number, ncarly thirty per cent. were sent to the High school, forty per cent. to the Merrimack school, and the remainder, or thirty per cent. were distributed among the other schools. The schools have also been furnished with nearly five hundred writing-books and as many drawing-books, Most of the books loaned to the pupils are in good condition, the greatest wear coming among, the smaller books in the primary divisions. The only changes made in text-books have been the introduction of Avery's Cbemistry at the High school in place of Youmans's, and Scudder's History of the United States has been substituted for Barnes's iu the Grammar schools. AFTERNOON SESSIONS. Since the first of November the experiment of having a two hours' session iu the afternoon has been tried, and found to be a 8 sen OOI. REPOI~T - change pleasant to both teachers and pupils, and .so far as knewn' satisfactory to parents. DISMISSION FROM SCHOOL SES,SlONS. This (o~mo[ absence from school seems to be on the increase. It is a fxct, ttmt, in one of the schools in town containing ]ess than thirty-five pupils, there were one hundred and five dis- missions in eleven weeks. One has only to perform a very simple problem to see that in the course of a year, there would be several thousand, should the pupils in all the other schools in town "get dismissed" in like proportion. This is a serious evil in the work of our schools, and parents are most earnestly requested by the Committee, to ask for such dismissions for ~he~r children as infrequently as possible. The School Registers show many marks of absence, but we are pleased to report they do not arise from truancy. The Truant officers, Messrs. Roundy and Trombly report twenty- four absences investigated, thirteen of which were cases of truancy. Your committee are on the whole well satisfied with the con- dition of the schools. There is not much to criticise, but we would suggest to the individual teachers, that they make most diligent effort to cultivate the powers of thought and observation in their pupils; that they stimulate them to independent and original work, and that the text-books be used principally only as a guide. In this way, we believe that the best results c~;n be obtained. We beg also to express the old wish that the parents would visit the schools more £requently, and co-operate with the teach- ers as far as possible in their work. SCHOOL REPORT. In addition to the Rules and Regulations adopted May 29 ~884, the Committee add the ~ollowing: Teachers shall inflict corporal punishment only in cases where mild means have failed to secure good order. But when re- sorted to, a record must be made and kept for examination~ stating also the cause of punishment.

At another meeting called for thc purpose, the C~mmittee were instructed W build a school-house on land of General Sut~n, fronting on Main street, adjoining land of A. P. Etlis. It was thought a~ first best to have a buildiug for four rooms, com- pleting the lower ones. and leaving the second story to be finished at some future time, Plrms for s,ch a buildiug submitted by Geo. G. Adams, were accepted, the contract for the mr~son work being lc; to 3:~mes l)orman for $699.00. and for ~hc building to P. P. Daw for $4.~17.16. After fm'ther eo,sidem~tion it was (]ecid~(U~tb complete the building, as the work could be done umch cheap6r under one contract, and from thc fact that the two upper rooms would soon be required for schools, 5Ir. Daw agreeing to complete ~e work for ~2347. The Work has been performed iu a most thorough manner, under thc supervision of the architect. Your Committee, with an idea to economy in the future, decided to heat the building by s~am, and have given great attention to ven~il~t~on~ h~ving always in mind thoroughness of work, convcnience of ~rrangements and structural durabiliSy.

Both ste~mer and hose carriage ~re ~tted wit~ hanging lmrnegses. W~ reoommenfl that ~he house be r~ised ~ighteen inches, a collar put under the same, the lg~-ing of. a new flom'~ and the putting a coat of paint on tho out- side. Also that the 0oohioh~wiek hand ~ngine be p~t in thorough r~pair, ~h~reby saving a larger exp~use later on. We suggest that all the old~ second-hand proper~y belonging to the Fire Department, such as the Merrimack engine, big hose can'iage, hooks~ ladders gnd trucks, be sold; the proceeds to be used iu providing a suitable hook mud ladder truck with apparatus for the protection of proparty. Tha~ five hundred feet of spare hose be bought for the steamer in case of break,ge. Tlmt ~ pair of horses be purchased to draw the steamer to fires, being kept at the engine house, a matter of economy~ since they can be used to work on the highways in summer, and to clear the streets of snow in wintcr.
