OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF MANSFIELD
FOR THE
SCHOOL YEAR 1879-80.

REPORT.
In compliance with the law of this Commonwealth,
we present to the Town our Annual Report, refer-
ring briefly to the work that has been done in our
Schools the past year, and making such suggestions
as seem to us to be needed for better work in the
future.
Schools have been kept in the several districts 3`>,
weeks, during the year, by the exercise, of the strict-
est economy in every department of expenditure.
And in some instances, this forced economy has de-
prived teachers of a fair
rendered. compensation for. services
INCREASE OF
SCFIOOL YEAR.
We therefore recommend, an increase ofappropria-
tion, to that extent, at least, as will enable us to con-
tinue our schools 34 weeks in the year, in each dis-
triet, and pay teachers who have proved themselves
thoroughly competent for the work of the school-
room, such salary as will keep them and their services
in our Scbocl,;. And in this connection; we would
also recommend, that the Scho)l Comr ;tree.. :) Soma
40
committee chosen for the express purpose, be author-
ized to fix the salary of the teachers in the several
districts, thereby making their pay more equal, and in
Proportion to the responsibilities of their position and
the labor required of them.
The Superintendent of our schools in his report
of last year, called our attention to the "methods of
teaching," and justly criticized and condemned the
Prevailing system of memorizing the text-books: Sub-
stituting words, and rules for ideas and principles,
making the mind of the scholar a limber-room
than a work-shop. rather
The Committee were, and are in the fullest sympa-
thy with the views expressed in that report. We feel,
in common with many other citizens of this town and
elsewhere, that the results of our school training are
not what we have a right to expect from the large
expenditure of time, money and labor f
poses. or school pur
Charles F. Adams, Jr., of Quincy, in a paper pre_
pared for the teachers of that town, May 19, 1876,
in speaking of this matter, says that "Arithmetic,
Grammar, Spelling, Geography, and History were
taught; as if to be able to answer the questions in the
text-books was the great end of all education. It was
instruction through a perpetual system of Conlin-
drums.
"The result was that the scholars acquired with im-
mense difficulty something whichthey forgot with
equal ease; and, when they left our grammar schools
41
lhey had what people are pleased to call the rudiments
Mf education, and yet, not one in twenty of them could
ait down and write an ordinary letter, in a legible
Viand; with ideas clearly expressed, and words cor.
_Mctly spelled."
And all this in Quincy, a town second to none in
The 'State, for money and ` facilities for educational
Purposes.
Qumcv schools were not an exception—but rather
a small company in a vast army recruited from' all
Parts of the State—put through the same drill, and
discharged in the same crippled condition, to join the
invalid corps for life.
It becomes our duty to seek for the cause of these
failures, and when found, to remove them as far as
Possible. This has been our earnest 'effort. To it
we have given our time and most earnest attention.. �
TF,ACHERS': INSTITUTES AND MEETINGS.
We have attended Teachers' Institutes and conven-
tions ; held teachers' meetings in town, and examined
different methods adopted by our most successful
teachers; trying their work by the test of results,'
and we
follows : sum up the conclusions arrived at, briefly, as
-
® We have had too much memorizing, and too little
thought. Too much text -book work and too little
leaching in our schools.
"V' sought to cram the mind of the scholar rather
93san draw out of it.
42
The end of common school work is not to fill the
mind of the child with a certain quantity of facts, but
rather to give them that culture and help that will
prepare them for the far greater work of educating
themselves.
For these reasons, and others not mentioned, we
recognize the good test -book as a great helperim
school work, but never to take the place and do the
work of a live teacher.
The teacher's work is to stimulate the child -mind
into healthy and natural activity, by bringing objects
and topics before them in such a way as shall help
them to see, understand, talk and think about them;
thus lead them to work for . themselves, and in doing
this work, gain strength of thought for more difficult
work, and open a field for the scholar for future
study and investigation, so extended, that we should
not attempt to fix boundaries.
We have endeavored to conduct our schools the
past year, on the plan outlined above, and with
the very general co-operation of the teachers, we
think something has been done in the right direction,
which shows good present results, and promises
much good for the future.
We do not forget that Mansfield is a conservative
town, and that we share, in a measure, in that time-
honored characteristic ; and therefore shall not urge
any change in our School system, only so far as the
successful results following steps already taken, may
seem to warrant.

TETT BOOPS
During the year the test books in grammar
have been partially changed at an expense of
$36.49to the town 'for the introduction for the
first or primary books of a series that promises
great advantages over the old single books in
use, inasmuch as the definitions are clear and con-
cise in the first book, disposing with a vast
amount of profound discussion, very profitable .and
interesting to the matured comprehension and cul-
tivated taste of older scholars, but entirely above the
understanding of the beginner, while by a judicious use
Of the second book the definitions and rules already
learned may be indelibly fixed in the mind of the
Pupil by a practical use of those principles in the
construction of sentences, the discussion of good au-
thors, and the writing of compositions, thus improving
the scholar's power of language, which has been most
lamentably neglected in some; yes most of our
schools.
In this
the maps connection your committee would mention
and other school furniture provided for the
several schools during the year, at a cost of $64.20,
which also has been a public
provides that the School Committee eniav : nse se a cehe r-
tain i
tain portion of the school fund each year to furnish
books of reference and such other school apparatus
as. they may deem necessary. We found some of the
school -rooms entirely destitute of maps; globes, or'any
other helps for school work exo pting a''dictionary ;
44
and found some of them had never been furnished
anything of the sort; we therefore deemed it our duty
to provide each school -room thus destitute, with out-
line maps, globes, and a set of blocks for younger
Pupils, and have done so, as follows: maps and globes
for Districts Nos. 2, S, 7 and Intermediate of
No. 4; globes for Nos. 3, 6 and Second Prim-
ary in No. 4; and blocks for each mixed and
primary school in town. We have kept in mind the
conservative element previously spoken of, and have
been very cautious in staking changes of books and
in other outlays of money; and while looking to the
best good of the schools, have remembered that our
means were limited.
CHANGING TEACHERS
We are of the opinion that the progress of some
of our schools has been greatly retarded by changing
teachers; perhaps it has been unavoidable, but the
injury to the school has been the same. When teacher
and scholars have become acquainted, have their work
laid out and well begun, a change is always attended
with a loss of time, when another teacher equally
qualified is obtained; while, if one less capable is em-
ployed, the loss to the school is great every way, and
cannot be regained. But if, as it sometimes happens,
one of those teachers can be secured who is willing
to study his pupils and can understand their true
Position in their studies, so that they can take them
M
45
on from their present standpoint, the benefit derived
from such an one will more than compensate for the
losses of a' change,
It has been fully demonstrated, this year, that a
teacher, to be successful, must be a good disciplinarian,
cyder being one of the indispensable requisites to'a
profitable school. Yet that teacher who goes to the
school -room only to "keep order" and see that the
words of the book are well learned, as has been
already referred to, is not more than half a teacher
at most; for we think, as a general rule, if teachers
would study to present the subjects taught in a more
attractive manner, try to bring each'topic within
the understanding of the pupil, strive to become
thoroughly imbued themselves with their work, that
pupils must be interested ; and whenever this is the
case, one of the greatest helps to good order is already
secured.
