The  showing  for  the  year  is  very  satisfactory,  except  in  one 
particular.  The  increase  in  the  number  of  schools  and  pupils 
corresponds  with  the  natural  increase  of  population,  and  the 
increase  of  expenditure  corresponds  with  the  increase  in  the 
number  of  pupils.  But  the  average  daily  attendance  has  not 
increased.  This  is  partly  to  be  accounted  for  by  an  excep- 
tionally severe  winter,  which  made  the  country  roads  impassa- 
ble for  many  weeks,  and  by  the  prevalence  of  scarlet  fever 
and  diphtheria  in  some  sections.  Making  due  allowance  for 
these  hindrances,  taere  still  remains  a  considerable  residuum  of 
preventible  absenteeism,  against  which  the  most  vigorous 
eflforts  of  teachers  and  school  officers  should  be  directed.  It 
is  in  their  power  to  reclaim  many  of  those  whose  names  are 
on  the  roll,  but  who  are  so  seldom  in  the  school-room  as  to 
-derive  no  practical  benefit  from  the  liberality  of  the  state 
which  has  provided  them  with  the  means  of  instruction 

FREE  BOOKS. 

In  a  former  report  the  opinion  was  expressed  that  free 
schools  logically  implied  free  books.  There  is  no  reason  why, 
in  a  system  of  free  public  schools,  parents  should  be  called  on 
to  pay  for  anything  that  properly  belongs  to  the  equipment 
of  the  school-house — desks,  stoves,  pens,  ink,  or  books.  During 


State  Board  of  Ed%ication.

the  past  year  the  citj  of  Baltimore  has  taken  the  inevitable 
step  and  resolved  that  henceforth  the  odious  distinction  be- 
tween "pay  pupils"  and  "free  pupils"  shall  be  abolished. 
Among  the  many  advantages  which  will  follow  from  this 
change  in  the  right  direction  may  be  reckoned  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  school-going  children,  and  if  the  counties 
could  see  their  way  through  the  pecuniary  difficulties  which 
alone  prevent  their  following  the  example  of  the  city,  not 
only  would  the  number  of  pupils  be  increased,  but  the 
efficiency  of  the  schools  would  be  greatly  promoted.  None 
but  practical  teachers  know  the  difficulty  of  working  without 
the  proper  tools.  Classes  are  sometimes  disorganized  for 
weeks,  and  sometimes  are  not  org^ized  at  all,  owing  to  the 
delay  or  the  refusal  to  procure  the  necessary  text-books.  It 
is  reckoned  that  an  addition  of  three-fourths  of  a  cent  in  the 
hundred  dollars  to  the  state  tax  and  the  same  addition  to  the 
county  tax  would  be  sufficient  to  pay  for  this  most  desirable 
improvement. 

THE  SCHOOL  LAW.. 

No  changes  have  been  made  in  the  school  law  since  1874 ; 
not  that  no  improvements  could  be  suggested,  but  because  a. 
feeling  of  stability  and  permanence  was  worth  more  than  any 
trifling  change,  and  no  radical  changes  seemed  desirable.  If, 
however,  the  school  law  should  come  before  the  Legislature 
for  revision,  the  State  Board  would  offer  the  following  sug- 
gestions as  embodying  part  of  their  experience : 

1st.  Necessary  text-books  for  use  in  the  school-room  should 
be  supplied  without  charge. 

2nd.  The  state  school  tax  should  be  twelve  cents  on  the 
hundred  dollars,  and  the  minimum  county  tax  should  be  no 
less. 

3rd.  The  state  tax  should  be  distributed  to  the  several 
counties  in  proportion  to  the  average  enrolment  of  the  pupils, 
white  and  colored,  no  pupil  to  be  counted  who  has  not  made 
an  attendance  of  at  least  sixty  days  (or  120  half  days)  in  the 
year. 

4th.  The  few  remaining  -  ounty  academies  should  be  made 
a  part  of  the  public  school  system. 


10 


Annual  Report  of  the 


5tli.  There  should  be  but  one  school  district  trustee,  in 
place  of  three  under  the  present  law. 

6th.  Every  principal  of  a  public  school  should  be  required 
to  make  report  at  least  twice  a  month  by  postal  card  to  the 
examiner,  of  the  condition  of  his  school-as  regards  attendance, 
etc. 

Tth.  Legal  provision  should  be  made  for  ascertaining  accu- 
rately once  in  every  two  years,  in  the  city  of  Baltimore  and 
the  several  counties,  the  number  of  children  of  school-going 
age  (say  over  six  years  and  under  sixteen),  the  number  at- 
tending public  schools,  and  the  number  attending  private 
and  denominational  schools.

HIGH  SCHOOLS. 

A  revised  edition  of  the  by-laws  of  the  State  Board  w as- 
published  at  the  beginning  of  the  school  year.  The  princi- 
pal change  is  the  addition  of  three  sections  in  reference  to 
High  Schools.  The  school  law  having  omitted  to  give  any 
definition  of  "  High  School,"  it  became  necessary  to  state  ex- 
plicitly what  is  necessary  to  constitute  one.  The  former 
by-laws  divided  the  schedule  of  primary  instruction  into  six 
grades.    The  new  by-laws  provide  that — 

"  The  High  School  course  shall  begin  with  the  completion 
of  the  sixth  grade,  and  may  include  all  the  studies  required 
for  admission  into  the  Freshman  class  at  college.  No  school 
shall  be  classed  as  a  High  School  unless  it  contains  at  least 
three  grades  higher  than  the  sixth."

SECRETARY'S  REPORT, 


Keport  of  the  iecretarij  of  ttie  Board. 


It  is  not  difficult  to  estimate  quantitatively  the  amount  of 
instruction  given  in  the  state  during  the  past  year  by  the 
agency  of  the  public  school  system.  The  usual  tables  of  sta- 
tistics tell  us  with  reasonable  accuracy  how  many  schools 
were  open;  how  many  terms  they  continued  in  operation; 
how  many  names  were  inscribed  on  the  rolls,  and  the  number 
of  pupils  in  actual  daily  attendance.  In  plain  ligures  there 
were  170,393  different  pupils  enrolled  on  the  school  register, 
each  of  whom  attended  school,  on  the  average,  ninety-two- 
days.  If  the  attendance  of  one  pupil  for  one  day  be  taken  as 
the  unit,  the  quantity  of  instruction  given  will  be  represented 
by  15,676,156.  The  statement  of  quantity  is  easy,  precise,, 
and  sufficiently  accurate.  But  how  shall  the  quality  be  esti- 
mated ?  Where  are  the  instruments  for  this  kind  of  analysis  ? 
What  weights  and  measures  shall  we  use?  What  tests  and 
re-agents  shall  we  employ  ? 

The  statistical  tables  carry  us  but  one  step  in  this  inquiry 
and  then  leave  us.  They  tell  us  the  number  of  pupils  in 
each  grade  and  the  studies  belonging  to  the  several  grades ; 
they  can  tell  us  nothing  more.  A  more  minute  system  of 
book-keeping  might  let  us  know  how  many  pupils  were  pro- 
moted from  a  lower  to  a  higher  grade  during  the  year;  but 
even  this  additional  information  would  be  only  quantitative. 
The  means  for  a  qualitative  analysis  must  be  sought  else- 
where than  in  tabular  statements.  The  difficulty  of  the 
problem  is  increased  by  the  great  variety  of  objects  presented 
for  analysis.  It  is  as  if  a  sample  of  soil  from  every  county  in 
Maryland  were  sent  toache-aist  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining 
an  analysis  of  the  average  soil  of  the  state.  What  is  true  of 
one  county  is  not  true  of  another,  and  what  is  true  of  the 


■SO 


Annual  Report  of  the 


average  is  not  strictly  true  of  any  one  county.  Nay,  more ; 
what  is  true  of  one  part  of  a  county  is  not  true  of  another 
part.  The  same  holds  good  of  the  schools.  The  schools  of 
one  county  may  be  better  than  those  of  another ;  yet  in  every 
county  there  are  some  good  schools ;  some  not  good  enough, 
but  showing  signs  of  improvement,  and  some  good  for  nothing, 
but  to  give  a  poor  support  to  a  poor  teacher. 

The  great  educational  want — -not  of  this  state  alone,  but 
of  the  whole  country — is  the  lack  of  trained  teachers.  For 
a  long  time  it  was  assumed  that  anyone  who  knows  what  the 
school  law  requires  him  to  know  is  a  competent  teacher.  This 
fallacy  having  been  given  up,  another,  equally  deceptive,  has 
taken  its  place — \\\.2X  experience  will  supply  the  lack  of  training. 
If  it  did,  the  oldest  teachers  would  be  the  best,  which  is  con- 
trary to  fact.  No  amount  of  experience  in  doing  a  thing- 
wrong  will  enable  a  man  to  do  it  right.  Your  "  experienced 
teacher"  is  sometimes  the  slave  of  bad  habits,  which  he  is 
neither  able  nor  willing  to  give  up. 

The  work  of  educating  the  great  body  of  teachers  is  neces- 
sarily slow ;  and  with  the  means  now  at  command  it  cannot 
be  accomplished  effectually.  An  untrained  teacher  is  not 
worth  half  as  much  as  a  trained  teacher ;  and  yet  they  both 
receive  the  same  salary  even  in  counties  in  which  the  grade 
of  the  certificate  is  an  element  in  fixing  the  salaries.  Thus 
there  is  but  little  to  induce  those  who  are  aspiring  to  be 
teachers  to  spend  time  and  money  in  professional  preparation. 
If  they  made  teaching  their  life-work,  time  would  bring  a 
remedy.  "Natural  selection"  would  drive  out  the  inferior 
and  retain  the  better  class ;  but,  owing  principally  to  the  low 
salaries  received,  ratural  selection  acts  in  the  opposite  direc- 
tion. It  drives  out  men  who  have  energy  and  ambition,  and 
keeps  in  those  who  cannot  better  themselves.  While  the 
lawyer  and  the  physician,  like  the  carpenter  and  the  black-, 
smith,  seek  to  raise  themselves  in  their  respective  professions 
and  trades,  the  teacher  seeks  to  raise  himself  out  of  his  pro- 
fession. It  is  a  waste  of  words  to  ' state  a  well-known  evil 
without  suggesting  a  remedy.  The  natural  remedy  is  such  an 
increase  of  salaries  as  will  be  sufficient  to  make  teaching  ,de-

sirable  as  a  permanent  employment.  But  such  an  increase 
of  expenditure  is — for  the  present,  at  least — out  of  the  ques- 
tion; and,  even  if  it  could  be  obtained,  it  would  work  very 
slowly.  The  great  educational  problem  is  to  supply  this 
want  of  trained  teachers,  in  sufficient  numbers,  quickly  and 
cheaply. 

An  experience  of  sixteen  years  as  superintendent  of  schools 
in  this  state,  with  exceptional  facilities  for  observation  in 
other  states,  has  led  me  to  the  conclusion  that  the  agencies 
now  in  use — normal  schools,  state  and  county  institutes  and 
associations,  pedagogic  works,  and  educational  journals — have 
proved  entirely  inadequate  to  the  solution  of  the  problem. 
They  are  all  good,  so  far  as  they  go ;  but  they  do  not  go  far 
enough,  nor  fast  enough. 

Our  reliance,  I  think,  must  be  on  the  county  superinten- 
dency — not  as  it  exists  at  present  throughout  the  country,  but 
as  it  might  be  amended  and  extended. 

The  county  superintendency  in  Maryland  is,  theoretically 
and  practically,  on  a  better  footing  than  in  many  other 
states.  Theoretically,  the  county  superintendent,  or  examiner, 
as  we  call  him,  is  a  trained  teacher,  who  gives  his  whole  time 
to  the  duties  of  his  office.  Practically,  his  office  is  held  \ 
almost  for  life.  During  the  last  sixteen  years  the  number  of 
possible  removak  was  one  hundred  and  eighty-four.  The 
number  of  actual  removals  was  fourteen. 

It  was  estimated  many  years  ago  that  the  average  profes- 
sional life  of  a  public  school  teacher  iu  the  United  States  was 
but  three  years.  It  is  probable  that  it  does  not  exceed  five 
years  at  the  present  time.  It  is  not  possible  to  make  teach- 
ing one  of  the  life-professions  within  this  generation.  But  it 
is  possible  to  make  the  superintendency  a  life-business,  and  by 
that  means  to  secure  the  necessary  continuity  of  the  teacher's 
work.  The  school  is  what  the  teacher  makes  it.  This  has 
long  been  admitted.  But  that  the  teacher  is  what  the  super- 
intedent  makes  him,  or  permits  him  to  be,  has  not  been 
generally  acknowledged.  Nevertheless  experience  proves  that 
the  right  kind  of  superintendent  has  under  him  a  majority 
of  teachers  of  the  right  kind,  and  the  wrong  kind  of  super- 


32 


Annual  Report  of  the 


intendent  is  likely  to  have  in  his  train  many  teachers  of  the 
wrong  kind.    What  is  the  right  kind  of  superintendent  'i 

1.  He  must  give  his  v^hole  time,  during  business  hours,  at 
least,  to  the  supervision  of  the  schools  while  they  are  in  session :, 
and  he  must  receive  a  salary  in  proportion  to  his  services. 

2.  That  his  supervision  may  be  profitable  he  must,  himself,, 
be  a  good  teacher.  If  not  a  practical  teacher  (which,  though 
desirable,  is  not  absolutely  essential),  he  must,  at  least,  be 
well-read  in  the  theory  of  the  profession.  It  is  not  so  im- 
portant that  he  should  be  able  to  do  school-work  himself  as- 
that  he  should  know  when  it  is  well  done  by  others.  Pesta- 
lozzi  was  but  a  poor  practical  teacher,  but  the  Pestalozzian 
ideas  are  overspreading  the  world. 

3.  He  should  be  independent  of  local  authorities  and  dis- 
connected from  local  politics.  A  superintendent  nominated 
and  elected  by  party  machinery,  and  liable  to  lose  his  place  at 
the  end  of  one  or  two  years,  works  under  serious  disad- 
vantages. If  he  proposes  to  remain  but  one  term  in  office  he- 
knows  that  he  can  accomplish  but  little  in  that  limited  time> 
and  he  is  not  apt  to  occupy  himself  with  laying  a  foundation 
that  another  may  build  thereon  ;  while  if  he  proposes  to  be 
re-elected  his  attention  is  distracted  between  the  care  of  the 
schools  and  the  anxieties  of  the  next  campaign. 

4.  This  implies  that  the  superintendent's  office  should  be 
made  as  secure  from  unnecessary  change  as  the  presi- 
dency of  a  college.  No  capable  man  will  accept  the  latter 
position  with  the  understanding  that  he  will  probably  be  dis- 
missed at  the  end  of  two  years.  There  may  be  reasons  for 
making  a  change  in  either  office;  but  the  reasons  should  be 
such  as  will  bear  irvestigation,  and  there  should  be  power  to- 
make  the  change  not  merely  at  the  end  of  a  specified  term,, 
but  at  any  time  for  due  cause. 

5.  The  superintendent,  being  a  trained  teacher  himself, 
theoretical  or  practical,  should  devote  a  large  part  of  his  time 
to  the  training  of  other  teachers.  He  should  not  simply 
observe  and  suggest  and  report ;  he  should  take  the  reins  in 
hand  when  necessary  and  drive.  That  which  has  been  incul- 
cated at  the  Teachers'  Institute  he  should  put  into  practical 


State  Board  of  Education.  33^ 

operation.  He  should  know  every  school  under  his  jurisdic- 
tion and  almost  every  scholar,  as  a  merchant  knows  every 
customer  on  his  books,  or  as  an  experienced  engine  driver 
knows  every  rail  upon  the  road. 

6.  This  implies,  further,  that  the  number  of  schools  to  be 
supervised  by  one  person  is  limited.  This  limit  will  depend' 
on  the  nature  of  the  schools,  and  of  the  territory.  A  city 
system  is  more  easily  supervised  than  the  schools  of  a  county 
The  schools  in  a  sparsely  settled  territory  will  need  a  greater 
number  of  superintendents  than  the  same  number  of  schools 
in  a  densely  populated  community.  Again,  the  number  will 
depend  largely  on  the  professional  character  of  the  schools 
the  best  schools  needing  the  smallest  amount  of  active  super- 
vision, though  they  need  the  appreciation  and  encourage- 
ment which  a  competent  superintendent  can  bestow. 

This  scheme  contemplates  the  creation  of  a  new  profession — 
that  of  superintendent  of  schools ;  and  it  may  be  asked  how 
is  the  needed  professional  training  to  be  obtained.  The 
answer  is,  at  the  normal  schools.  Had  one-fourth  of  the 
money  which  has  been  spent  during  the  last  twenty  years  ow 
the  training  of  common  school  teachers  been  devoted  to  the 
training  of  superintendents,  and  had  the  office  of  superin- 
tendent been  made  sufficiently  remunerative  and  reasonably 
permanent,  the  results  would  have  been  much  more  satis-- 
factory.  Money  has  been  invested  at  simple  interest,  when* 
it  might  have  been  earning  compound  interest.  For  example  r 
The  state  spends  $200  in  educating  a  teacher.  The  money 
is  well  spent,  for  this  teacher  does  more  work,  and  better 
work,  than  she  would  have  done  without  this  preliminarj 
training.  At  the  end  of  four  years  she  retires,  and  an  un- 
trained teacher  takes  her  place.  Her  work  is  ended.  If 
trained  and  well-qualified  superintendent  of  schools  had  been* 
sent  out  in  place  of  the  teacher,  at  the  end  of  four  years; 
there  would  have  been  fifty  schools  of  the  first  class,  instead 
of  one.  Statistics  show  that  it  has  been  impossible  hitherto,, 
and  reason  proves  that  it  will  be  impossible  for  a  century  to- 
come,  under  present  conditions,  to  place  a  well-trained  teacher 
in  every  school  in  the  country.  But  there  is  no  insuperable 
3

A7Uiual  Report  of  the 


difficulty  in  the  way  of  placing  a  well-trained  superintendent 
in  every  county,  and  in  every  town.  The  first  step  is  the 
only  costly  one.  It  is  for  the  people  to  determine  that  a  well- 
organized  system  of  superintendence  is  the  cheapest,  the 
quickest,  and  the  most  effectual  way  of  obtaining  a  constant 
supply  of  efficient  teachers.  The  means  of  professional  edu- 
cation, confessedly  inadequate  to  the  wants  of  the  great  army 
of  teachers,  is  amply  sufficient  for  the  officers.  The  Normal 
School  has  been  compared  to  the  West  Point  Academy.  Of 
what  avail  would  West  Point  be,  if  its  resources  were  applied 
to  the  instruction  of  private  soldiers?  We  have  in  this  coun- 
try the  material  for  a  grand  army  of  teachers,  if  we  would 
only  furnish  them  with  capable  officers.  Unfortunately,  in 
some  instances  the  privates  know  more  than  their  official 
superiors. 

G'RADED  SCHOOLS. 

It  is  tacitly  assumed  by  superintendents,  teachers  and  par- 
ents that  all  children  of  about  the  same  age  have  equal  or 
nearly  equal  mental  ability. 

It  is  also  tacitly  assumed  that  an  examination  is  a  fair  test 
of  the  progress  which  children  have  made  in  mental  develop- 
ment. 

Both  assumptions  are  unwarranted. 

So  far  from  children  being  nearly  equal  in  mental  power, 
they  differ  so  widely  that  it  is  difficult  to  strike  an  average 
that  will  not  manifestly  be  unfair  to  those  at  either  pole. 
We  have  many  instances  on  record  of  childen  of  five  years  or 
under  who  learned  the  alphabet  in  one  lesson.  We  have  also 
many  instances  of  children  of  the  same  age  who  went  to 
school  for  six  months  (say  one  hundred  days)  and  received 
two  lessons  a  day  on  the  alphabet  and  did  not  know  their  let- 
ters perfectly  at  the  end  of  that  time.  The  ratio  is  as  200  to 
one.  Give  two  boys  of  the  same  age  a  column  of  spelling  to 
learn  in  five  minutes;  one  boy  will  spell  twenty  words  cor- 
rectly, the  other  only  ten  ;  a  ratio  of  two  to  one.  (This  does 
not  mean  that  the  first  is  twice  as  capable  as  the  second,  but 
merely  that  the  second  needs  twice  the  time  of  the  first.) 


State  Board  of  Education.

It  may  be  said  that  these  apparent  differences  of  mental 
power  are  due  to  different  degrees  of  attention  and  industry. 
But  are  not  attention  and  perseverance  mental  powers  for  all 
practical  purposes  ?  True,  they  are  more  dependent  on  the 
will  than  memory  and  judgment  are.  But  does  not  will- 
power vary  as  widely  as  attention  or  memory  i  A  due  con- 
sideration of  the  facts  suggested  by  these  remarks  will  lead 
to  the  conclusion  that  any  system  which  requires  unequal 
forces  to  perform  equal  work  in  equal  times  rests  on  a  false 
foundation,  and  must  yield  unsatisfactory  results. 

But,  secondly,  it  is  not  true  that  an  examination  as  ordi- 
narily conducted  is  a  test  of  mental  growth. 

It  will  be  granted  at  the  outset  that  the  true  purpose 
of  intellectual  education  is  not  the  accumulation  of  knowl- 
edge, but  the  acquisition  of  power.  A  lad  studies  the 
theorems  of  geometry  not  for  the  sake  of  the  conclusions, 
which  could  all  be  learned  in  a  week,  but  for  the  sake 
of  the  mental  discipline  which  this  study  secures.  Sup- 
pose two  boys  to  have  equal  powers  of  reasoning,  but  very 
unequal  powers  of  memory ;  and  suppose  them  to  have 
devoted  eq^al  time  to  the  study.  They  have  evidently  de- 
rived equal  benefits.  But  at  an  examination  one  may  make 
100  per  cent,  and  pass  with  eclat ;  the  other  may  make  50 
per  cent,  and  be  rejected  and  disgraced.  An  examination 
ordinarily  tests  nothing  but  the  memory,  and  only  one  kind 
of  memory. 

What  then?  Shall  there  be  no  examinations,  no  promo- 
tion, no  classification  ?  Certainly  all  three  must  be  retained — 
examinations  for  the  sake  of  the  teacher,  that  he  may  know 
the  exact  position  of  the  pupil,  and  direct  his  course  accord- 
ingly (as  the  mariner  finds  his  latitude  and  longitude,  not 
w4th  the  idea  that  it  adds  to  the  motive  force  of  his  ship,  but 
that  he  may  steer  it  rightly).  Promotion  and  classification 
must  be  made  for  the  sake  of  the  pupil  and  the  system.  An 
ideal  method  would  study  the  individual  peculiarities  of  every 
pupil  and  adapt  the  curriculum  and  the  methods  to  such 
peculiarities.  Practical  common-school  education  in  the  so- 
called  graded  schools  cannot  deal  to  any  great  extent  with  the 


36 


Annual  Report  of  the 


individual,  but  only  with  the  class;  and  it  should  be  the  aiii> 
of  the  supervising  authorities  to  reduce  to  a  minimum  the 
evils  that  necessarily  follow  from  this  departure  from  the 
ideal.    How  shall  this  be  done  ? 

EXAMINATIONS. 

As  the  ordinary  examination  tests  only  the  memory, 
forms  of  examination  should  be  devised  which  shall  bring  the 
other  mental  powers  into  notice.  With  some  exceptions,  no 
question  should  he  asked  lohich  can  he  answered  in  the  exact 
words  of  the  text-hooJc.  The  compulsory  memorizing  of  defi- 
nitions in  arithmetic,  grammar,  and  geography  should  be 
given  up.  The  rules  of  arithmetic  and  grammar  should  be 
abandoned,  also,  as  compulsory  studies.  No  conscious  efibrt 
should  be  made  to  remember  long  descriptions  in  geography 
or  narratives  in  history.  If  the  subjects  named  are  properly 
taught,  enough  will  remain  in  the  mind  without  conscious 
memorizing;  and  it  will  remain  longer,  forming,  as  it  were 
a  part  of  the  mental  organism,  and  not  likely  to  be  swept 
away  as  so  much  rubbish  when  the  examination  day  is  over. 

MEMORY. 

Is  the  voluntary  memory  then  to  be  discarded  i  By  no 
means.  It  is  merely  to  be  kept  in  its  proper  place,  and  re- 
stricted to  its  proper  work.  Spelling  is,  in  our  language,  un- 
fortunately, a  province  which  the  memory  only  can  conquer, 
though  even  here  it  is  the  memory  of  the  eye  that  needs  to- 
be  exercised,  through  the  medium  of  books ;  not  the  memory 
of  the  ear  by  means  of  the  long  columns  of  the  spelling 
book.  Jn  arithmetic  the  multiplication  table  must  be 
memorized,  but  not  until  it  is  comprehended.  Many  other 
useful  tables  must  also  be  committed  to  memory.  A  few 
leading  formulas  in  algebra  and  trigonometry  are  also  indis- 
])en8able  to  students  of  these  subjects. 

In  every  department  of  learning  the  memory  may  profit- 
ably be  employed  as  a  labor-saving  and  time-saving  machine. 
We  must  learn  to  spell  all  the  words  that  we  are  likely  to 
use,  because  we  must  save  the  time  and  labor  that  would  be

lost  in  consulting  a  dictionary.  But  if  the  chances  are  that 
we  shall  employ  a  certain  word  but  once  in  a  lifetime,  it  is 
better  to  wait  for  the  occasion  and  refer  to  the  dictionary  than 
to  burden  our  memories  with  it,  more  especially  as  it  is  very 
likely  that  the  memory  may  fail  us  just  when  it  is  most 
wanted.  The  same  general  argument  applies  with  even  more 
force  to  thousands  of  statements  in  grammar,  history  and 
geography,  which  children  are  compelled  to  memorize,  to 
recite,  and  to  forget. 

Let  it  be  observed  here  that  the  memorizing  of  that  which 
is  allowed  to  be  speedily  forgotten  does  not  strengthen  the 
memory,  but  weakens  it.  The  practical  inference  is  that  the 
things  to  be  memorized  should  be  comparatively  few  in  num- 
ber, and  these  few  should  be  so  fixed  in  the  mind  by  repetition 
and  by  practical  use,  as  to  become  a  part  of  the  permanent  fur- 
niture of  the  mind. 

LITERATURE. 

Perhaps  the  least  objectionable  service  in  which  the  memory 
can  be  employed — outside  of  its  economic  use  as  a  saver  of 
labor — is  in  the  field  of  English  literature.  Beginning  at  an 
early  age  with  short  sentences  and  stanzas  adapted  to  the 
very  young,  the  child  may,  year  after  year,  store  his  mind 
with  some  of  the  choicest  gems  of  the  language.  Con- 
stant reviews  may  keep  them  green  in  his  memory,  and  in 
maturer  years  they  will  bloom  afresh  when  the  demand  is 
made.  The  stupidity  of  the  goody-good}^  books,  the  insipidi- 
ties of  the  weekly  novelettes,  the  monstrosities  of  sensational 
novels,  the  lurid  glare  of  vicious  romances,  will  have  no  at- 
tractions for  the  youth  whose  memory  is  filled  with  specimens 
of  the  best  and  purest  of  our  English  authors.  It  is  the 
empty  house  that  welcomes  the  bad  tenant. 

It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  our  knowledge  is  not  con- 
fined to  that  which  we  have  consciously  memorized.  On  the 
contrary,  far  the  largest  and  certainly  the  most  important 
part  of  our  intellectual  store  came  to  us,  we  know  not  how  ; 
and  while  the  results  of  our  school-boy  memorizing  have  van- 
ished as  the  early  cloud  and  the  morning  dew,  all  that  we 


3S 


A7mual  Report  of  the 


have  gained  by  doing  rather  than  by  saying  still  remains  with 
ns.  The  restriction  of  the  memory  of  school  children  to  its 
proper  functions,  and  the  more  energetic  employment  of  the 
reason  and  the  imagination,  will  cause  not  a  diminution  but 
an  increase  of  useful  knowledge. 

DIFFERENCES  IN  ABILITY. 

The  examination  should  also  make  due  allowance  for  differ- 
ences of  natural  talent  and  for  variations  in  external  circum- 
stances. Twelve  questions  might  be  selected,  so  that  six  of 
them  could  be  answered  by  all  but  the  very  dullest,  or  the  most 
careless,  in  the  class;  nine  by  the  average  of  the  class,  and 
twelve  by  only  the  very  best  students.  Those  who  answer 
one-half  of  the  questions  should  be  reported  as  having 
"  passed."  Promotion  should  be  the  rule ;  failure  the  rare 
exception.  The  examination  should  be  looked  forward  to  with 
pleasure,  and  not  with  dread.  The  man  in  perfect  health  doe& 
not  fear  to  have  the  physician  feel  his  pulse.  When  school- 
w^ork  has  been  done  regularly  and  honestly,  the  examination, 
if  properly  conducted,  will  simply  make  that  fact  known. 
In  former  years  the  rod  was  the  stimulus  which  every  child 
was  supposed  to  need.  In  these  days  examination  is  the 
stimulus.  Of  the  two,  the  rod  is  the  least  dangerous.  The 
only  proper  stimulus  for  young  pupils  is  good  teaching.  The 
unspoiled  mind  has  as  keen  an  appetite  and  as  good  diges- 
tion as  the  unspoiled  stomach,  different  in  different  indi- 
viduals, but  sufficient  in  every  case.  But  badly  selected  and 
badly  prepared  food,  bodily  or  mental,  will  ruin  the  best  of 
appetites. 

HOME  LESSONS. 

Beginners,  say  between  the  ages  of  six  and  ten,  should 
do  all  their  school-work  within  school  hours.  Home  lessons 
for  such  children  are  an  injury  to  the  home,  to  the  school,  to 
the  child  and  the  teacher.  To  the  home,  because  they  add  to 
the  already  over-burdened  mother  the  unnecessary  labor  of 
making  the  children  "get  their  lessons;  "  to  the  school,  be- 
cause so  much  time  is  occupied  in  hearing  recitations  that

none  is  left  for  teaching  ;  to  the  child,  because  the  pleasure  of 
receiving  instruction  is  neutralized  by  the  dread  of  "  missing 
his  lessons ;"  to  the  teacher,  because  he  is  made  the  slave  of  the 
text-book,  and  "  the  day  that  makes  a  man  a  slave  takes  half 
his  worth  away."  It  may  also  be  urged  against  the  tradi- 
tional home  lessons,  that  the  mental  strain  of  six  hours  work 
in  a  w^ell  regulated  school  is  as  much  as  the  ordinary  child  of 
ten  years  can  bear  without  serious  injury. 

IMPROVED  METHODS  OF  TEACHING. 

The  school  is  a  conservative  institution.  Customs  are 
handed  down  from  generation  to  generation,  and  are  regarded 
as  sacred  merely  because  they  are  old.  The  teacher  who 
would  introduce  any  new  thing  finds  himself  obstructed  by 
the  inertia  of  traditions,  as  vague,  but  at  the  same  time  as 
hard  to  get  rid  of,  as  the  superstitions  that  attribute  certain 
occult  virtues  to  the  rays  of  the  moon. 

When  the  Maryland  school  system  was  organized,  in  1855, 
the  methods  of  teaching  in  vogue  were  the  same  as  those  of 
Shenstone's  schoolmistress.  When  a  child  first  came  to  school 
he  was  made  to  learn  his  A,  B,  C's.  This  occupied  some 
weeks.  Then  he  spelled  his  a,  b,  abs,  and  his  b,  a,  ba's.  At  the 
end  of  a  year  he  could  spell  and  pronounce  as  far  as  "  baker." 
In  his  second  year  he  could  spell  and  read  in  some  easy  book, 
and  in  the  third  year  he  began  to  read  without  spelling. 

The  first  change  was  the  introduction  of  the  word 
method,  or,  as  the  English  call  it,  the  "  look  and  say  "  plan. 
The  principle  on  which  it  is  founded  is  that  it  is  easier  for  a 
child  to  remember  the  names  of  words  than  the  names  of 
letters,  and  that  from  a  limited  number  of  key  words  thus 
learned  a  very  great  number  of  other  words  can  be  formed  by 
various  combinations  of  the  key  words.  Then  came  the 
phonic  system,  which  differed  from  the  alphabetic  mainly  in 
that  it  substituted  the  powers  of  the  letters  for  their  names. 
If  our  language  were  phonetic,  or  nearly  phonetic,  this  method 
would  be  perfect.  Afterwards  there  came  a  glimpse  of  the 
truth  that  children  learn  by  doing  more  than  by  merely  look- 
ing and  saying,  and  they  were  required  to  print  on  slates  or 


40 


Aiuuial  Report  of  the 


on  the  blackboard  the  words  they  were  learning.  This  was  a 
wonderful  advance  on  the  A,  B,  C  plan ;  but  it  was  soon 
found  that  printing  is  a  slow  process,  both  for  teacher  and 
pupil,  and  it  was  found  possible  to  substitute  writing  of  the 
ordinary  style  for  it,  not  only  without  disadvantage  but  with 
positive  benefit.  Writing,  which  under  the  old  regime  was 
commenced  in  the  fourth  school  year,  is  now  made  the  very 
first  lesson,  and  reading  is  to  some  extent  merely  an  incident 
of  the  writing  lesson.  One  might  suppose  that  no  further 
improvement  is  possible ;  bat  when  the  old  ruts  are  once 
abandoned  it  is  hard  to  tell  where  the  triumphal  car  of 
progress  may  carry  us.  It  has  been  proposed  of  late  (and  it 
is  said  the  experiment  has  met  with  success)  to  make  both 
reading  and  writing  the  subordinate  incidents  of  a  scheme  of 
real  instruction.  The  teacher  presents  an  object  to  a  class 
of  children;  they  examine  it;  are  questioned  on  it;  their 
ideas  are  expressed  in  sentences;  these  sentences  are  written 
on  the  blackboard,  and  form  a  first  reading  lesson.  The 
formal  know^ledge  of  reading  and  writing  is  thus  made  a 
subordinate  element  in  a  scheme  of  real  instruction,  and  an 
acquaintance  with  things  takes  precedence  of  mere  verhal 
training. 

It  must  be  acknowledged  with  regret  that  there  are  schools 
still  in  our  state  which  have  not  advanced  beyond  the  old 
alphabetic  stage.  How  long  it  may  be  before  they  shall 
awake  from  their  slumbers  depends  more  on  the  county 
examiner  than  on  any  other  agency.  If  public  opinion  were 
aroused,  the  antediluvian  teacher  would  be  obliged  to  retire. 
But  who  will  arouse  public  opinion  i 

HA  LTIMOKE  CITY. 

After  a  period  of  comparative  repose  the  city  of  Baltimore 
has  taken  two  most  important  steps,  which  deserve  more  than 
a  passing  notice. 

FREE  IJOOKS. 

The  book  fee  has  been  abolished.  Public  opinion  demanded 
it,  and  the  City  Council  gracefully  yielded.    The  odious  dis- 


State  Board  of  Education. 


41 


tinction  between  "  pay  pupils  "  and  "  free  pupils  "  has  been 
obliterated.  Books  are  now  furnished  in  the  same  way  as 
desks,  black-boards,  and  pencils ;  and  the  schools  at  last  are 
really  free. 

MANUAL  TRAINING  SCHOOL. 

The  second  noteworthy'  step  was  the  establishment  of  the 
Manual  Training  School.  This  is  the  first  instance  of  a 
school  of  this  kind  and  grade  being  opened  and  conducted 
under  the  authority  and  control  of  the  public  school  authori- 
ties, and* its  history  and  progress  are  consequently  watched 
^ith  great  interest.  I  have  therefore  given  in  the  appendix 
to  this  report  the  full  and  interesting  account  of  the  school, 
kindly  furnished  by  the  director,  Dr.  Eichard  Grady. 

NIGHT  SCHOOL  FOR  MANUAL  TRAINING. 

There  are  man}  boys  in  need  of  such  training,  and  anxious 
to  get  it,  who  cannot  go  to  an  all-day  school.  For  their 
benefit,  and  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  have  not  reached  the 
standard  required  for  admission  to  the  day  school,  it  has  been 
suggested  that  a  number  of  night  schools  should  be  opened. 
The  cost  would  be  small,  for  the  "  plant "  would  be  inex- 
pensive, and  skilled  mechanics  could  be  procured  as  teachers 
at  night  at  a  moderate  salary.  These  schools  w^ould  bear 
such  a  relation  to  the  Manual  Training  School  as  the  grammar 
schools  bear  to  the  City  College.  For  the  first  year  work  in 
wood  only  need  be  taught.  In  the  second  year  the  funda- 
mental processes  in  iron  work  might  be  practiced.  No 
machinery  should  be  employed — nothing  but  hand  tools. 
Many  a  boy  would  be  kept  ofi"  the  streets  and  saved  from 
vice,  if  such  employment  were  within  his  reach.  The  peni- 
tentiary has  more  inmates  w^ho  can  read  and  write  than  good 
tradesmen. 

TRAINING-SCHOOL  FOR  TEACHERS. 

Still  another  step  needs  to  be  taken.  The  practice  of 
taking  young  girls  from  their  students'  desks  and  giving  into 
their  hands,  without  assistance  and  without  experience,  the 
<iharge  of  fifty  or  sixty  children,  cannot  be  long  continued 


42 


Annual  Beport  of  the 


without  serious  detriment  to  the  schools.  The  State  NormaP 
School  receives  every  year  its  full  quota  of  students  from  the 
city.  The  theory  of  teaching  is  carefully  taught  them,  but 
they  cannot  get  the  special  training  that  is  needed  in  the  city 
schools.  Besides,  not  more  than  15  per  cent,  of  the  city 
teachers  have  attended  the  State  Normal  School.  It  is  im- 
possible to  consider  this  subject  calmly  and  dispassionately 
without  coming  to  the  conclusion  that  it  is  the  duty  of  the 
Board  of  Public  School  Commissioners  to  provide  thorough, 
training  for  their  young  candidates  for  the  office  of»  teachers, 
and  to  apppoint  only  those  who  have  had  such  training.  A  cer. 
tain  term  of  probation  is  even  now  exacted,  but  in  practice  it- 
has  become  a  mere  form.  What  is  needed  is  not  probation, 
but  training. 

COLORED   NORMAL  SCHOOL. 

This  school  still  continues  its  good  work.  Since  its  origin-  " 
it  has  sent  out  over  two  hundred  teachers,  and  many  of  them 
have  done  good  work.  The  number  of  pupils  now  in  atten- 
dance is  182,  most  of  them  girls.  But  few  young  men  are  in 
training,  because  their  time  can  be  profitably  employed  else- 
where, and  they  are  unable  to  meet  the  expense  of  remaining 
at  school  long  enough  to  derive  much  benefit.  Many  of  the 
young  women  now  in  attendance  give  promise  of  becoming 
efficient  and  faithful  teachers. 

MARYLAND  INSTITUTE. 

The  Schools  of  Art  and  Design,  connected  with  the  Mary- 
land Institute,  have  enjoyed  another  year  of  prosperity,  so  far 
as  the  work  of  the  teacher^  and  the  students  is  concerned. 
It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  the  pecuniary  resources  of  the 
Institute  are  not  ecpial  to  the  task  it  has  assumed.  Unless 
the  liberality  of  the  city,  or  the  benevolence  of  private  citi- 
zens comes  to  the  rescue,  this  school  year  will  close  with  a 
heavy  indebtedness,  and  the  work  of  next  year  will  be  seri- 
ously injured. 

The  present  awakening  in  art  and  industry  has  been  very 
largely  owing  to  the  exertions  of  the  Maryland  Institute,  and 


State  Board  of  Education. 


4a 


it  would  be  cause  for  profound  sorrow  if  the  great  work  now 
going  forward  should  be  interrupted  or  impeded.  There  are 
now  attending  the  several  schools  618  students — 219  in  the 
day  school,  including  88  in  the  Saturday  class,  and  369  in  the 
night  school.  In  the  day  school  5S  are  regular  students,  who 
propose  taking  a  full  course  of  three  years ;  71  are  in  the  ele- 
mentary class,  and  the  remainder  are  studying  charcoal  draw- 
ing, painting  in  oil  and  water  colors,  and  modelling.  In  the 
night  school  153  students  are  in  the  free-hand  division,  132  in 
the  mechanical,  and  84  in  the  architectural  class.  One  cannot 
for  a  moment  imagine  that  these  schools,  the  pride  and  the 
ornament  of  our  city,  shall  be  permitted  to  suffer  for  want  of" 
funds. 

.TOHNS  HOPKINS  CNIVERSITY. 

After  a  series  of  tentative  stages  the  University  has  taken  a 
definite,  and  within  certain  limits,  permanent  form.  The 
undergraduate  curriculum  has  been  fully  developed,  and  the 
college  is  recognized  as  part  of  the  University.  The  several 
courses,  now  explicitly  set  forth,  afford  abundant  room  for 
choice,  and,  yet  secure  to  the  student  who  selects  any  one  of" 
them  the  means  of  education  at  once  harmonious  and  varied. 

During  the  academic  year  which  closed  on  the  first  of  Sep- 
tember, 1884,  the  academic  staff  included  forty-nine  teachers; 
and  two  hundred  and  fortj^-nine  students  were  enrolled,  of 
whom  one  hundred  and  twenty-three  were  residents  of  Mary- 
land, and  one  hundred  and  eleven  came  from  twenty-nine 
other  states  of  the  union,  and  fifteen  from  foreign  countries. 
One  hundred  and  fifty-nine  of  these  students  were  graduates 
of  other  institutions,  and  came  from  seventy-live  colleges  and 
universities,  fifty-three  were  candidates  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts,  and  thirty-seven  were  special  students. 

The  steady  increase  in  the  number  enrolled  yearly  since 
the  university  was  opened  in  the  autumn  of  1876,  is  shown  by 
the  following  figures  :  1st  year,  89  ;  2nd,  104  ;  3rd,  1 23  ;  4th, 
159;  5th,  176;  6th,  175  ;  7th,  204;  8th,  l49.  The  total  for 
eight  years  is  648  students,  of  whom  329  were  from  Maryland 
(including  263  from  Baltimore),  and  319  from  forty-two  other 


44 


Anmial  Rfjjort  of  the 


states  and  countries.  Of  this  number  395  persons  pursued 
<;ourses  as  graduate  students,  and  253  as  collegiate  students. 
For  the  ninth  academic  year,  commencing  October,  1884,  the 
number  enrolled  is  274. 

Since  degrees  were  first  conferred,  in  1878,  seventy-nine 
persons  have  attained  the  Baccalaureate  degree,  and  fifty- 
four  have  been  promoted  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Phi- 
losophy. 

The  two  new  laboratories,  one  for  chemistry  and  one  for 
biology,  which  were  completed  in  1883,  have  proved  entirely 
satisfactory. 

The  chemical  laboratory  covers  an  area  of  about  fifty  by 
one  hundred  feet  and  has  three  full  stories  and  a  basement. 
It  will  conveniently  accommodate  about  ninety  working  stu- 
<ients. 

The  biological  laboratory  is  eighty-four  by  fifty-two  feet  in 
external  measurement,  and  consists  of  three  stories  and  a 
basement.  It  contains  a  lecture  room  with  seats  for  sixty;  a 
general  laboratory  with  accommodations  for  about  fifty  work- 
ing students;  a  library  ;  smaller  laboratories  for  different  re- 
searches ;  large  wor'k  rooms,  etc.,  with  every  convenience  for 
the  various  branches  of  scientific  studies  pursued  therein.  A 
-gymnasium  has  been  built  and  fitted  up  with  a  good  selection 
from  the  Sargent  apparatus.  Bath  rooms  and  a  ball  court 
iire  adjacent  to  the  principal  room. 

Besides  the  university  circulars  and  annual  reports,  there 
are  five  important  publications  issued  under  its  auspices, 
namely :  The  American  Journal  of  Mathematics,  American 
■Ohemical  Journal,  American  Journal  of  Philology,  Studies 
from  the  Biological  Laboratory,  and  Studies  in  Historical  and 
Political  Science. 

The  library  has  continued  to  grow  rapidly,  and  now  num- 
bers over  24,C00  bound  volumes,  and  500  periodicals  are  reg- 
ularly received  in  its  reading-room. 

The  mineralogical  cabinet,  also,  has  been  greatly  increased 
by  the  purchase  of  collections  and  by  the  presentation  of 
^specimens. 

The  Chesapeake  Zoological   Laboratory  was  opened  at

Hampton,  Va.,  during  the  suninier  of  1884 — its  seventh 
annual  session. 

Considerable  attention  has  been  given  of  late  to  the  details^ 
of  collegiate  instruction.  Seven  courses  of  study  have  been 
arranged,  each  of  which  is  believed  to  be  good  for  a  certain 
class  of  minds;  each  of  which  contains  indispensable  studies  ; 
each  of  which  combines  mathematics  and  physical  science 
with  languages,  literature,  philosophy  and  history. 

In  determining  what  course  to  follow,  the  student  has  the- 
counsel  of  a  member  of  the  board  as  his  adviser,  and  he  is 
not  allowed  to  change  from  one  course  to  another  without 
very  special  reasons,  approved  by  the  entire  board.  All  the 
courses  lead  to  the  same  degree,  that  of  Bachelor  of  Arts^ 
which  can  usually  be  gained  three  years  after  the  matricula- 
tion is  completed,  (-rood  students  are  allowed  one  year  for 
completing  the  courses  required  for  matriculation,  and  thus 
the  time  devoted  to  the  college  courses  corresponds  with  that 
which  is  usual  in  American  colleges.  The  desire  is  to  receive 
scholars  about  the  age  of  sixteen,  and  to  graduate  them  about 
twenty  years  of  age,  so  that  one,  two  or  three  years  of  non- 
professional university  studies  may  be  pursued  by  recent 
graduates,  looking  forward  in  many  cases  to  the  second  de- 
gree of  Master  of  Arts  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  and  in 
other  cases  to  special  proficiency  in  certain  branches  of  study. 

STATE  COLLEGES. 

The  state  appropriation  has  been  withdrawn  from  the 
Agricultural  College,  and  the  usual  grant  to  St.  John's  ha& 
been  greatly  reduced.  Nevertheless  these  institutions  have 
maintained  thejr  organization,  and  are  probably  at  the  present 
time  more  deserving  of  state  support  than  they  ever  were 
before.  The  other  colleges  receiving  state  aid — the  Western 
Maryland  College,  Washington  College,  the  Baltimore  Female 
College  and  Frederick  College,  are  pursuing  the  even  tenor  of 
their  way. 

The  state  undertook  to  assist  these  institutions,  and  most 
of  the  academies,  under  circumstances  entirely  different  from 


46     A7i7iual  Report  of  the  State  Board  of  Education, 

those  by  which  we  are  now  surrounded.  It  would  be  a  meas- 
ure of  wise  economy  to  adapt  the  state  patronage  to  these 
<iircumstances.  No  such  measure  is  possible  during  the  ex- 
citement and  hurry  of  a  legislative  session  without  much 
previous  preparation.  The  whole  ground  should  be  carefully 
surveyed  before  any  alterations  are  proposed.  If  an  act  were 
passed  by  the  General  Assembly  authorizing  the  Governor  to 
appoint  a  commission  to  report  on  this  subject,  the  information 
could  be  procured  on  which  the  next  General  Assembly  there - 
-after  could  act  intelligently. 

TEACH P]RS'  INSTITUTES   AND  ASSOCIATTONS. 

Teachers'  institutes  were  held  in  several  counties  during 
the  year,  and  were  well  attended.  Almost  every  county  has 
a  county  teachers'  association,  which  meets  regularly  and 
does  excellent  service.  The  State  Teachers'  Association  met 
at  Ocean  City  in  July.  The  attendance  was  good,  and  the 
exercises  were  full  of  interest.  The  next  meeting  of  the 
association  will  be  held  at  Deer  Park  on  the  7th  of  July,  and 
the  three  following  days. 

IN  MEMOKIAM. 

One  of  the  most  active  members  of  the  association  at  Ocean 
City  was  Charles  G.  Edwards,  assistant  superintendent  of 
schools  for  the  city  of  Baltimore.  On  the  third  day  of  the 
meeting  he  was  taken  suddenly  and  seriously  sick,  and  three 
months  afterwards  (October  12,  1884)  he  died.  By  his  death 
the  city  lost  a  faithful  officer,  whose  worth  was  just  beginning 
to  be  appreciated ;  the  state  lost  a  prudent  counsellor,  the 
^.ountry  lost  a  rising  leader  of  the  educational  forces,  and  the 
\vriter  lost  a  constant,  faithful,  loving  friend.

Nulli  flebilior  quam"  mild.

THOMAS  G.  McCULLOH,  President.  H.  G  WEIMER,  Secretar^^ 


Profeufsor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir:  We  herewith  transmit  to  you  the  Annual 
Report  of  the  Public  Schools  of  Allegany  county  for  the- 
year  ending  September  30,  1884. 

Yisitation — The  work  of  visiting  schools  was  commenced  as- 
soon  as  I  entered  upon  the  duties  of  my  office — January  1,1884. 
The  following  plan  was  adopted  in  this  department  of  my  work  r 
I  carefully  note  the  condition  of  the  grounds  and  buildings,  tha 
kind  of  furniture,  the  amount  of  apparatus,  the  classification^ 
the  grading,  the  course  of  study,  the  character  of  the  work 
performed,  examine  classes,  and  render  assistance,  make  sug- 
gestions, give  advice,  &c.,  whenever  I  deem  it  proper  to  do  so. 

School  Trustees — No  class  of  persons  sustain  a  more  re- 
sponsible  relation  to  our  educational  interests  than  do  school 
trustees.  If  the  schools  are  well  equipped,  skilfully  managed^ 
in  a  prosperous  condition,  with  a  hearty  educational  senti- 
ment pervading  the  school  district,  these  officers  are  chief  in- 
struments in  securing  such  results.  If  the  school-houses  and 
furniture  are  in  a  dilapidated  condition,  the  school  poorly 
taught,  the  school  trustees  are  in  a  m*easure  responsible  for 
such  state  of  affairs.  The  faithful  discharge  of  duty  as  a 
school  trustee  requires  the  sacrifice  of  time  and  effort,  for 
which  no  remuneration  is  provided  in  the  way  of  salary- 
Without  stopping  to  argue  whether  this  is  as  it  should  be  or 
not,  suffice  it  to  say  that  the  person  who  performs  his  duty  in 
this  capacity  will  not  lose  his  reward. 

Progress — In  general,  I  may  say  that  the  progress  made- 
in  the  school  affairs  of  the  county  has  been  very  fair  and  en- 
couraging, and  that  the  pubhc  schools  are  steadily  improvin^c 
in  worth,  and  constantly  advancing  in  popular  favor. 


-54 


Annual  Meport  of  the 


The  debt  of  the  board  appears  to  have  increased  $1,453.58 
-during  the  past  year.  This  is  accounted  for  in  part  bj  the 
payment  of  floating  indebtedness  of  the  former  board, 
amounting  to  $700.45,  which  existed  prior  to  October  1, 1883, 
but  did  not  appear  in  last  year's  report.  The  debt  is  there- 
fore really  increased  $753.13,  which  is  fully  accounted  for  by 
the  expenses  required  for  teachers'  salaries,  &c.,  incidental  to 
the  increased  attendance  of  pupils,  there  having  been  171 
jnore  than  the  previous  year. 

Yery  respectfully, 

H.  G.  WEIMER, 

Secretary.

BALTIMORE  COUNTY. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell: 

The  Annual  Report  of  the  Schools  of  Baltimore  county  is 
herewith  respectfully  submitted. 

Altliouorh  the  Board  has  changed  its  entire  personnelle  since 
our  last  report,  the  good  work  still  goes  on,  both  the  enroll- 
ment and  attendance  of  pupils  being  larger  than  in  any 
former  year.  The  gentlemen  composing  the  new  Board  are 
all  progressive  in  their  ideas,  and  thoroughly  imbued  with  the 
importance  of  public  education.  There  can  be  no  hindrance 
to  the  continued  success  of  the  schools  under  their  adminis- 
tration, unless  it  arise  from  the  financial  embarrassment  which 
they  found  existing  when  they  came  into  office.  This  was 
caused  in  part  by  new  buildings  erected  in  former  years,  abso- 
lutely required  and  demanded  by  the  patrons  and  the  con- 
tinuous growth  of  the  system,  without  any  proportionate 
increase  in  the  county  levy.  Since  1879,  $85,000  has  been 
uniformly  levied  for  the  schools  each  year,  with  the  exception 
of  the  present,  when  it  was  raised  to  $100,000.  For  the  same 
time  the  average  yearly  increase  in  pupils  enrolled  has  been 
300,  adding  about  $5,000  annually  to  the  ordinary  expenses, 
without  including  building,  repairs,  or  furniture,  for  which 
no  provision  has  been  made,  although  the  taxable  basis  has 
been  advanced  in  round  numbers  from  $57,000,000  to 
^61,000,000,  and  the  population  of  the  county  is  rapidly 
growing. 

For  the  past  two  years  the  entire  expenses  of  the  spring 
term  have  been  met  by  borrowing  the  necessary  amount  from 


76 


Annual  Report  of  the 


the  bank  and  paying  the  notes  as  they  became  due  from  the' 
levy  of  the  next  year.  The  County  Commissioners'  fiscal 
year  ends  on  the  30th  day  of  May,  and  the  School  Board's 
the  3Cth  of  September,  one  month  after  the  schools  have 
commenced  operations  for  a  new  year.  This  conflict  of  dates 
makes  it  difficult  to  determine  the  real  financial  condition  of 
the  schools  at  any  given  time ;  but,  as  near  as  we  can  approx^ 
imate,  the  present  indebtedness  is  something  over  $36,00:  >. 
The  policy  of  temporarily  bridging  over  by  borrowing  may 
answer  for  a  short  time,  but  this  debt,  like  the  school-boy's 
lump  of  snow,  will  continue  to  enlarge  the  farther  it  is 
pushed,  and  may  at  last  become  unmanageable.  The  time 
for  a  trial  balance  has  arrived,  and  unless  the  people  signify  a 
willingness  to  make  good  this  deficit  in  the  next  tax  levy,  the 
schools  may  be  sadly  crippled  +br  years  to  come.  If  the  defi- 
ciency is  not  made  good  by  taxation,  it  can  be  supplied  in 
only  one  of  two  other  ways — by  closing  the  schools,  or  by  re- 
ducing teachers'  salaries,  either  of  which  would,  in  our  opin- 
ion, seriously  interfere  with  the  efficiency  of  the  school  system- 
Should  it  come  to  a  choice  of  evils,  it  would  do  the  least  in- 
jury to  close  the  schools  for  the  summer  term.  Fewer  pupils 
are  then  enrolled,  and  the  majority  of  those  attending  school 
are  the  younger  children,  who  can  best  afford  to  lose  the  time 
from  their  books.  All  interested  would  sufter  alike,  and  this- 
plan  would  at  least  have  the  advantage  of  being  honest.  By 
awakening  public  criticism,  it  would  be  the  surest  safeguard 
against  the  recurrence  of  any  similar  disaster.  On  the  other 
hand,  to  reduce  salaries  to  get  out  of  the  difficulty  would  be 
worse  than  repudiati^^n.  The  teachers  are  in  no  way  respon- 
sible for  the  creation  of  this  indebtedness.  It  was  incurred 
at  the  urgent  solicitation  of  the  tax-payer  for  building  and 
equipping  new  houses  to  accommodate  his  children,  and  every 
district  in  the  county  bears  witness  that  he  has  received  full 
equivalent  for  the  money  thus  expended.  The  teachers  con- 
tracted to  do  a  certain  work  at  a  stipulated  price,  and,  with 
few  exceptions,  this  work  has  been  done  conscientiously  and 
satisfactorily.  There  would  be  as  much  injustice  in  curtailing 
their  salaries  to  make  up  this  deficiency  as  there  would  be  ta 


State  Board  of  Educatioii.

demand  a  proportion  of  the  salaries  of  all  other  county 
officials  for  the  same  purpose. 

Nor  is  this  the  first  time  the  School  Board  has  been  in- 
volved in  pecuniary  difficulties.  In  the  spring  term  of  1875 
a  similar  condition  of  affairs  existed,  and  the  Board,  from 
overbuilding,  was  carrying  an  indebtedness  of  $30,C0().  An 
order  was  adopted,  notifying  the  teachers  that  unless  this 
amount  was  included  in  the  levy  to  be  made  on  or  before  the 
1st  day  of  May,  the  schools  would  be  closed  for  the  remain- 
der of  the  summer  term.  The  County  Commissioners  de- 
clining to  render  any  assistance  beyond  the  usual  levy,  the 
question  was  submitted  to  the  people,  and  public  interest  was 
intense.  Committees  of  representative  men  from  the  most 
wealthy  and  populous  school  districts  in  the  county  appeared 
in  person  before  that  Board,  and,  besides,  a  petition  was  pre- 
sented with  1,700  signatures  of  tax -payers,  asking  for  a  suffi- 
cient levy,  not  only  to  pay  the  existing  debt,  but  for  the 
proper  maintenance  of  the  schools  as  well.  In  spite  of  the 
fault-finding  of  a  few  chronic  grumblers,  through  the  press 
and  elsewhere,  the  will  of  the  people  was  respected.  The 
levy  was  raised  from  fourteen  to  eighteen  cents,  the  debt 
<iancelled,  and  the  prosperity  of  the  schools  secured.  As  all 
the  members  of  the  present  Board  of  County  Commissioners 
are  known  to  be  friendly  to  the  cause  of  public  education, 
and  as  one  of  them  is  proud  to  be  numbered  among  the  peti- 
tioners of  1875,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  when  his  colleagues 
fully  understand  the  exigency  of  the  present  case,  they  will 
not  be  slow  to  come  to  the  rescue  of  the  schools  and  the  re- 
lief of  the  present  School  Board. 

The  following  table  gives  the  total  cost  of  the  schools,  and 
the  cost  of  each  pupil,  based  on  the  average  enrollment  from 
the  time  the  present  system  went  into  operation  down  to  1884. 
Items  directly  controlled  by  the  Board  at  all  times — such  as 
building,  repairs  and  furniture — are  deducted  from  the  total 
cost  to  get  the  actual  minimum  running  expenses  for  any  one 
year,  and  this  amount  divided  by  the  average  number  of 
pupils  enrolled  will  give  the  cost  per  pupil :

The  average  annual  cost  per  pupil  for  these  sixteen  years  is 
$15.29,  and  the  average  increase  of  pupils  is  nearly  300. 
Assuming  this  number  for  the  increase  next  year  (and  it  will 
be  very  much  greater),  there  will  be  an  enrollment  of  10,200 
pupils  to  provide  for  in  the  levy  to  be  made  on  or  before  the 
1st  day  of  May,  1885,  besides  the  deficiency  of  $36,000.  It  does 
not  require  much  mathematical  calculation  to  determine  that, 
without  building,  repairs,  or  furniture,  the  ordinary  running 
expenses  of  the  schools  for  the  ensuing  year  will  aggregate 
$155,958.  All  the  revenue  the  Board  has,  apart  from  the 
county  levy,  is  $61,900  a  year,  received  from  the  following 
sources:  State  school  tax,  $36,000;  state  appropriation  to 
colored  schools,  $4,400 ;  free  school  fund,  $3,300 ;  academic 
fund,^$l,200,  and  book  fees,  $17,000,  leaving  a  fraction  over 
$94,000  for  the  County  Commissioners  to  provide  fbr  by 
county  taxation.  It  would  be  poor  economy  to  let  the 
property  of  the  county  run  down  for  the  lack  of  a  few  dollars 
spent  for  repairs  at  the  right  time,  and  new  pupils  must  be

provided  with  suitable  accominodations.  To  allow  $6,000  for 
these  two  items  would  be  a  small  sum,  and  this  would  make 
the  amount  to  be  levied  next  year  for  the  minimum  expenses 
of  the  schools  $100,000,  which  is  a  little  over  16|  cents  on 
the  hundred  dollars. 

The  natural  growth  of  the  system,  requiring  more  children 
to  be  educated,  more  school-houses  and  furniture  every  suc- 
ceeding year,  has  made  a  proportionate  increase  in  the  cost 
unavoidable.  It  is  absurd  to  expect  any  board  to  operate  the 
schools  for  the  same  amount  of  money  as  was  sufficient  five  or 
ten  years  ago.  At  last  it  has  come  to  the  question  of  more 
money  or  less  schooling,  and  we  have  sufficient  faith  in  the 
intelligence  and  common  sense  of  the  people  of  this  county 
to  believe  that  they  are  in  favor  of  continuing  their  schools, 
and  are  willing  to  pay  to  keep  them  up  to  their  present  high 
standing.  If  retrenchment  is  to  be  the  watchword,  they 
would  prefer  it  to  begin  with  some  of  the  luxuries  for  which 
the  whole  county  is  taxed,  and  the  masses  receive  very  little 
benefit. 

We  have  endeavored  to  give  a  brief,  but  fair  and  impartial 
statement  of  the  financial  condition  and  the  needs  of  the 
schools,  and  we  now  leave  this  important  interest  in  the  hands 
of  those  who  hold  the  purse-strings  of  the  county,  trusting 
that  they  will  give  it  the  careful  consideration  which  the 
importance  of  the  subject  and  the  best  interest  of  the  county 
demand.

JOHN  F.  DAWSON,  President.  JAMES  SWANN,  Secretary/. 


Denton,  November  14,  1884. 

Professor  M.  A.  JVewelL 

Dear  Sir  :  We  herein  send  you  our  Annual  Keport  of  tlie 
Public  Schools  of  this  (Caroline)  county  for  the  scholastic 
year  ended  June  30,  1884,  and  the  fiscal  year  ended  Sep- 
tember 30,  1884. 

We  were  compelled  to  close  our  schools  after  having  kept 
them  open  but  three  terms — first,  because  the  County  Com- 
missioners did  not  levy  as  much  as  they  were  asked  to  levy 
for  schools,  and  secondly,  because  the  present  Board  of 
County  Commissioners  would  pay  but  half  the  levy. 

We  lost  one  house  by  fire,  but  received  the  insurance  and 
built  another. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

JAMES  SWANN, 

Secretary.

Annual  Rejport  of  the 


CARROLL  COUNTY. 


I  transmit  herewith  the  Report  of  the  Public  Schools  of 
Carroll  county  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  September  39, 1884. 
I  think  no  further  explanation  of  its  contents  is  required  than 
what  follows.  The  item  of  "  office  expenses  "  is  larger  than 
usual,  owing  to  the  cost  of  fitting  up  new  offices,  which  were 
set  apart  for  the  use  of  the  Board  in  the  extensions  to  the 
court-house.  That  of  "  printing  and  advertising  "  is  swelled 
beyond  the  usual  figures  b}'  reason  of  new  regulations,  re- 
quiring many  new  forms  and  additional  notices  to  persons  in- 
terested

Annual  Report  of  the 


CECIL  COUNTY. 


F.  S.  EVERIST,  President  JOHN  SQUIER,  Secretary, 


ProfeBSor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir:  In  our  Report  of  the  condition  of  Public 
Schools  of  the  county,  we  have  nothing  of  special  interest  to 
communicate,  except  that  in  the  falling  off  of  the  state 
appropriations  we  have  been  much  embarrassed  in  our 
finances. 

As  the  distribution  of  the  funds  of  the  state  to  the  white 
and  colored  schools,  as  now  arranged,  operates  unjustly  to  our 
county,  and  some  of  the  other  counties  of  the  state,  we 
would  respectfully  ask  the  State  Board  of  Education  to  take 
measures  to  have  a  more  equal  distribution  of  these  funds. 
Some  counties  are  receiving  from  the  state  one-third  more 
per  pupil  than  others,  and  we  think  this  a  just  cause  of  com- 
plaint; and  we  hope  you  will  call  the  attention  of  the  next 
legislature  to  this  subject. 

Very  respectfully. 

JOHN  SQUIER, 

SeGreta7'y.

CHARLES  COUNTY. 


Port  Tobacco,  October  30,  1884. 
Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir  :  I  herewith  respectfully  forward  to  you  the 
Annual  Keport  of  the  Charles  County  Public  Schools  for  the 
scholastic  year  ending  June  30,  1884,  and  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  of  same  year.  I  have  nothing  to  pre- 
sent to  your  consideration  outside  of  the  statistical  report, 
save  the  irregularity  in  the  amount  of  the  quarterly  distribu- 
tion of  the  state  school  tax.  I  have  been  a  chronic  complain- 
ant on  this  matter,  because  I  suffer,  year  after  year,  the  many 
ills  occasioned  by  these  irregularities.  The  Comptroller,  I  am 
sure,  distributes  all  funds  that  come  into  his  hands  promptly, 
and  as  the  law  directs.  The  fault  seems  to  lie  in  the  state 
collectors,  who  fail  to  collect  and  turn  over  promptly  to  the 
Comptroller  the  state  taxes.  I  would  be  pleased  to  see  the 
State  Board  of  Education  take  this  matter  in  hand  and  press 
upon  the  legislature  of  our  state  the  almost  absolute  neces- 
sity of  placing  the  school  tax  upon  some  firm  and  unvarying 
basis  of  distribution  With  regards,  I  remain, 
Yery  truly,  yours, 

A.  W.  NEALE, 

Secretary.

would  seem  that  a  review  of  that  work,  with  the  object  of 
recalling  mistakes  and  errors,  with  brief  suggestions  of  im- 
provement, might  be  of  advantage,  and  would,  at  least,  vary 
the  character  of  the  usual    accompanying  remarks." 

My  long  connection  with  the  schools  ©f  this  county,  extend- 
ing over  nearly  e^'ghteen  years,  satisfies  me — 

1.  That  it  is  better  to  increase  the  number  of  school  districts 
slowly.  In  a  few  years  the  most  inviting  calls  for  new  schools 
in  the  rural  districts  prove  to  be  delusive,  in  consequence  of 
removals,  <Szq. 

2.  That  small,  cheap,  temporary  houses  are  generally  the 
most  expensive.  When  a  school  is  demanded,  build  a  good 
one,  somewhat  larger  than  the  immediate  demands  would 
seem  to  call  for. 

8.  Always  build  suitable  out-buildings.  Nothing  can  be 
more  demoralizing  for  children  than  deprivation  of  these 
necessary  buildings. 

4.  A  school-house  cannot  well  have  too  much  blackboard 
surface.  Less  than  100  square  feet  is  simply  getting  on  with- 
out these  necessary  adjuncts  to  good  schools. 

5.  The  use  of  maps,  globes,  organs,  easy  calisthenics,  and 
simple  drawing  lessons  cannot  be  undertaken  too  early.  They 
draw  pupils  to  the  schools,  and  make  them  happier,  wiser  and 
better. 

6.  Double  desks,  or,  better,  single  ones,  should  be  found  in 
every  school. 

7.  Kecess  time  should  be  arranged  so  that  the  sexes  shall 
not  be  out  of  school  at  the  same  time.

Annual  Report  of  the 


8.  The  more  time  the  examiner  can  give  to  the  examina- 
tion of  the  schools,  and  interesting  the  people  in  their  own 
schools,  the  more  valuable  his  services  will  become. 

9.  Not  more  than  one  district  school  trustee  should  be 
appointed  for  each  school.  One  may  do  some  good ;  three 
rarely  do  anything.  If  teachers'  probate  of  their  accounts  is 
required,  the  trustee  could  administer  the  oath. 

10.  Free  books  in  free  schools  everywhere. 

11.  That  the  state  school  tax  should  be  increased. 

12.  That  the  county  school  levies  ought  not  to  be  reduced. 

13.  That  in  any  connection  of  the  public  school  system 
with  the  academies,  the  real  control  of  the  academies  should 
be  in  the  county  school  board.  It  is  better  to  have  one  head 
to  such  arrangements  than  two.  One  poor  general  can  com- 
mand an  army  better  than  two  good  ones. 

14.  Postal  card  weekly  or  bi-weekly  reports  from  teachers, 
showing  daily  attendance,  weekly  average,  &c.,  are  most 
useful. 

15.  That  it  is  better  to  follow  the  school  law  and  by-laws 
closely.  Exceptions  always  lead  to  trouble.  Any  action  in 
regard  to  trustees,  teachers,  schools,  &c  ,  should  be  based 
upon  the  letter  and  spirit  of  the  law. 

16.  Although  the  Normal  School  cannot  possibly  supply 
the  demand  for  tea'^hers  throughout  the  state,  yet  its  influence 
for  good  is  acknowledged. wherever  one  or  more  of  its  pupils 
^re  employed.  They  always  do  good  by  example.  In  time 
the  little  leaven  will  leaven  the  whole  lump.

FREDERICK  COUNTY. 


Frederick,  November  12,  1884. 

The  Annual  Report  of  the  public  school  work  for  the  year 
ending  September  30,  1884,  does  not  reflect  much  credit  on 
Frederick  county. 

Our  schools  were  not  opened  until  the  1st  day  of  Novem- 
ber, and  closed  on  the  15th  day  of  April,  giving  but  five  and 
a-half  months  during  the  scholastic  year  ending  June  30, 
1884.  This,  and  the  prevalence  of  measles  throughout  the 
county,  will  account  for  the  heavy  falling  off  in  the  enroll- 
ment and  average  attendance. 

By  using  the  receipts  from  the  county  and  state  in  October 
to  reduce  the  heavy  debt  resting  upon  the  Board  at  the  close 
of  the  last  fiscal  year,  we  were  enabled  to  open  our  schools 
promptly  on  the  1st  day  of  September  this  year. 

We  are  pleased  to  state  that  the  County  Commissioners 
have  been  led  to  realize  the  importance  of  an  increase  in  the 
appropriation  from  the  county,  to  meet  the  constantly  in- 
creasing demands  for  more  and  better  school  facilities. 

As  an  evidence  of  this,  they  have  increased  the  levy  for 
public  school  purposes  2|  cents  on  the  hundred  dollars, 
making  it  12^  cents,  instead  of  10,  as  heretofore.  Although 
this  is  not  sufficient,  it  gives  us  great  encouragement,  and  we 
promise  a  good  showing  for  the  present  scholastic  year. 

Respectfully, 

D.  T.  LAKIN, 

Secretary.

Annual  Report  of  the 


GAERETT  COUNTY. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir  :  The  nineteenth  Annual  Report  of  the  Public 
Schools  of  Garrett  county  is  herewith  respectfully  submitted. 

During  the  year,  besides  running  the  schools  the  usual 
length  of  time,  an  indebtedness  of  $:?0,000  has  been  paid. 

The  report  shows  that  disbursements  have  been  made  for 
building  school-houses,  and  no  new  school-houses  are  re- 
ported. This  will  be  readily  understood  when  it  is  stated 
that  the  houses  were  unfinished  at  the  close  of  the  scholastic 
jear,  and  cannot  be  reported  until  next  year.

HARFOKD  COUNTY. 


ARTHUR  VOSBURY,  President.       NOBLE  L.  MITCHELL,  Secretary. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Bklaik,  October  28,  1884. 

Dear  Sir:  The  ADnual  Report  of  the  Public  Schools  of 
Harford  county  is  respectfully  submitted.  The  school  year 
just  closed  has  been  a  very  successful  one.  For  the  first  time, 
under  the  present  public  school  system,  our  schools  were  kept 
open  for  four  full  terms,  and  by  reference  to  the  within  re- 
port, you  will  find  that  the  enrollment  and  attendance  far 
exceed  last  year's.  We  can,  we  think,  safely  say  that  our 
schools  are  steadily  improving,  and  the  wwk  done  is  becom- 
ing more  thorough  and  effective  each  year.  The  difiiculties 
which  have  obstructed  our  progress  in  the  past  are  gradually 
becoming  less,  and  we  hope  in  the  near  future  to  have  sur- 
mounted them  all,  and  know  them  only  as  things  wdiich  were. 

Our  appropriation  from  the  county  was  16  cents  on  the 
hundred  dollars,  which  was  in  excess  of  the  state  appropria- 
tion several  thousand  dollars.  If  the  amount  of  money  re- 
<ieived  from  the  state  would  equal  that  received  from  the 
county,  we  w^ould  be  enabled  to  increase  the  salaries,  which 
would  induce  our  teachers  to  remain  with  us,  and  other  good 
teachers  to  come. 

Yours,  very  truly, 

NOBLE  L.  MITCHELL, 
Secretary

Professor  M.  A.  Newell  : 

The  tables  contain  about  all  the  information  we  have  to 
communicate. 

One  new  school  district  has  been  laid  out  in  the  Second 
Election  district  of  our  county,  in  which  a  neat,  comfortable 
and  convenient  school  building  has  been  erected.  A  school 
was  opened  September  1,  with  twentj-live  pupils. 

Our  county  Teachers^' Association  met  regularly  during  the 
four  terms  of  the  school  year,  and  is  regarded  by  the  teachers 
as  a  valuable  aid  to  their  school  work.

MONTGOMERY  OOUjSTTT. 


A.  B,  DAVIS,  Present.  S.  R.  WHITE,  Secretary, 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir  :  In  submitting  the  annual  report  for  Mont- 
gomery County,  your  attention  is  called  to  the  following,  viz : 
The  schools  were  open  nine  and  one-tenth  months,  on  a  cash 
basis,  the  collectors  paid  up  promptly.  Five  new  houses 
erected  and  furnished.  Two  annual  visits  made  by  the  ex- 
aminer, and  within  the  past  four  years  about  §5,000  worth 
of  new  text-books  placed  in  the  hands  of  pupils  at  a  cost,  all 
told,  for  freight,  8100,  thus  bringing  about  a  uniformity  of 
books  in  the  county  of  the  latest  and  most  improved  books, 
involving,  however,  much  labor  in  handling  about  40,030 
volumes  on  the  part  of  the  secretary. 

In  several  localities  diseases,  incident  to  children,  inter- 
rupted the  attendance;  still  it  will  compare  favorably  with 
the  past.  We  have  ninety-three  schools,  with  few  exceptions, 
good  houses,  furniture  and  out-buildings,  and  the  general 
interest  of  the  people  in  education  seems  to  be  improving 
from  year  to  year.  Yery  truly. 

S.  K.  WHITE.

B.  F.  DUVALL,  President  CHARLES  F.  BILLOPP,  Secretary 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir  :  We  herewith  sand  our  Annual  Report  for  the 
fiscal  year  ending  September  30,  1884.  You  will  find  that 
the  schools  were  kept  open  ten  months,  and  that  the  number 
of  pupils  reported  on  the  rolls  is  larger  than  ever  before. 
The  average  attendance  has  also  increased  considerably.  We 
have  built  and  furnished  one  new  school-house,  and  almost 
completed  two  others.  The  people  of  the  county  seem  to 
take  more  interest  in  the  schools  than  heretofore,  and  we  hope 
to  receive  a  larger  appropriation  from  the  county  for  next 
year. 

CHA.RLES  F.  BILLOPP,

Annual  Report  of  the  State  Board  of  Education.  237 


QUEEN  ANNE  COUNTY. 


Centreville,  October  16,  1884. 

Professor  M.  A.  Newell, 

Dear  Sir:  I  am  glad  to  be  able  to  say  in  this  my  annual 
report  that  we  are  not  going  back.  We  feel  the  want  of 
money  to  improve  our  school-houses  and  to  make  them  com- 
fortable. We  greatly  need  a  few  more  houses,  and  our  people 
are  anxiously  asking  for  them :  but  our  county  authorities,  in 
view  of  the  many  claims  upon  them,  do  not  feel  justified  in 
making  a  larger  levy  than  they  have  made.  They  gave  us 
two  thousand  dollars  more  than  the  levy  of  any  former  year, 
and  we  expect  to  keep  our  schools  open  for  ten  months,  but 
we  cannot  build  houses  that  are  needed.  All  the  money  we 
get  is  consumed  in  paying  necessary  expenses,  exclusive  of 
building.  When  our  school  system  was  inaugurated  we 
received  from  the  county  the  same  amount  to  maintain  forty- 
six  schools  that  we  have  received  for  years,  and  from  the 
state  tax  a  much  larger  amount  than  we  receive  now  to  main- 
tain fifty-nine.  It  is  not  generally  known  that  the  hundred 
thousand  dollars  paid  to  colored  schools  comes  out  of  the  tax 
levied  exclusively  for  white  schools,  and  that  all  the  counties 
in  the  state  are  sufierers  by  this  injustice — our  county  to  the 
sum  of  nearly  four  thousand  dollars,  as  we  receive  that  much 
less  than  when  the  money  to  support  colored  schools  was  paid 
out  of  the  general  treasury.  I  think  if  the  people  of  the  state 
knew  that  the  public  schools  hold  a  judgment  against  the 
state  for  nearly  six  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  taxes  paid 
by  themselves  into  the  state  treasury  exclusively  for  public 
school  purposes,  and  otherwise  unjustly  used  for  other  pur- 
poses by  a  former  comptroller  (not  the  last  one),  they  would 
demand  of  their  rulers  the  passage  of  a  law  to  pay  this  ju«t 
and  honest  debt.     There  is  one  building  going  on  in  our 


238 


Annual  Mejport  of  the 


<30unty,  but  not  by  the  School  Board,  as  the  board  is  utterly 
unable  financially,  to  do  it.  It  is  an  addition  to  the  graded 
school  building  at  Church  Hill,  which  is  being  put  up  by  the 
liberality  of  some  public-spirited  gentlemen,  who  are  furnish- 
ing the  money  and  giving  their  time  and  attention  to  secure 
for  their  fellow-citizens  a  handsome  and  comfortable  house — 
when  the  School  Board  is  entirely  unable  to  do  it — upon  the 
promise  made  by  the  Levy  Court  to  reimburse  them  by  a 
future  levy.  If  they  had  not  done  this,  some  fifty  children 
or  more  would  have  been  turned  out,  and  deprived  of  school 
privileges.  They  deserve  and  receive  the  thanks  of  the  com- 
munity. 

I  hope  you  will  find  my  figiTres  correct,  and  will  have  no 
trouble  with  them,  I  do  not  like  long  communications,  and 
do  not  expect  or  desire  this  to  be  printed,  and  write  it  upon 
the  impulse  of  the  moment  without  any  particular  object  in 
view.  Hoping  you  may  have  a  pleasant  and  prosperous  year, 
I  remain. 

Very  truly,  your  friend, 

JAMES  W.  THOMPSON.

BERRY  T.  J.  B.  JONES,  President.  W.  H.  DASHIELL,  Secretary. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir:  I  send  you  herewith  our  report  for  the  year 
ending  September  30,  1884.  With  but  few  exceptions,  it  ex- 
plains itself.  I  call  your  attention  to  the  number  of  teachers, 
which  for  this  year  is  smaller  than  for  1683.  This  is  due  to 
the  closing  of  several  schools  for  re-building.  In  the  state- 
ment of  receipts  and  expenditures,  the  amount  for  teachers' 
salaries  appears  to  be  larger  than  it  should  be.  This  amount 
includes  unpaid  balances  of  last  year. 

Our  funds  have  enabled  us  to  keep  our  schools  open  for 
eight  months  only.  During  that  time  good  work  has  been 
done,  but  the  teachers  are  impeded  in  their  work  by  lack  of 
suitable  school  equipments,  which  want  we  are  now  endeavor- 
ing to  remedy.  We  are  working  to  raise  the  standard  of  our 
teachers  by  thorough  exarninations,  and  frequent  visits  to  the 
schools. 

Since  the  beginning  of  1884  we  have  been  trying  the  cash 
system  of  payments,  and  have  found  it  a  decided  improve- 
ment over  our  old  plan.  We  have  also  made  improvements 
in  the  matter  of  our  incidental  expenses. 

Yery  respectfully, 

W.  H.  DASHIELL, 

Secretary,

Annual  Report  of  the 


ST.  MARY  COUNTY. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sik:  Do  not  believe  much  can  be  said  in  addition  to 
what  can  be  found  in  my  report  of  last  year,  or  that  there 
are  any  new  facts  that  should  claim  the  attention  of  the 
State  Board. 

An  examination  of  the  statistical  part  of  the  report  dis- 
closes an  increased  enrollment  of  nearly  three  hundred  and 
an  increased  average  attendance  of  over  one  hundred.  The 
board,  at  its  meeting  February  5th,  1884,  passed  an  order 
awarding  three  prizes  to  the  white  pupils  of  the  public 
schools  of  the  county,  and  three  to  the  colored  pupils,  who 
should  furnish,  by  the  last  of  the  school  year,  the  three  best 
original  essays  on  subjects  to  be  selected  by  the  Examiner. 
The  subjects  selected  were  "  Thought,"  "  History,"  and 
"  What  Would  Inure  to  the  Benefit  of  St.  Mary?"  At  each 
school  these  subjects  were  fully  discussed  and  outlines  given, 
requirements  to  prevent  imposition  being  formulated  and  fully 
explained  to  the  pupils. 

The  result,  while  much  was  accomplished,  was  not  so  grati- 
fying as  might  be  expected  ;  still  many  essays  were  handed  in, 
which,  not  only  die"  credit  to  pupils,  but  were  a  strong  argu- 
ment in  favor  of  our  system  of  public  education.  Some  of 
these  essays  were  published  in  one  of  our  county  papers  and 
in  one  of  the  Charles  county  papers,  and  have,  it  is  believed, 
had  a  stimulating  efl'ect  upon  our  public  school  children. 

Our  financial  showing  would  have  been  better  but  for  the 
falling  off  of  the  quarterly  installments  from  the  state;  still 
we  have  cancelled  an  indebtedness  of  $2050.98,  and  shall  be 
able  to  run  our  schools  upon  a  cash  basis  for  nine  and  a  half 
months,  unless  for  some  unexpected  and  unaccountable  failure 
in  some  of  the  funds  usually  collectible  for  the  schools  of  onr 
county.  Very  respectfully, 

FRANK  N.  HOLMES, 

Secretary^  d;c.

Annual  liepori  of  the  State  Board  of  Education.  279 


WxVSHIXGTON  COUNTY. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir:  I  submit  herewith  the  annual  report  of  the 
Public  Schools  of  Washington  County  for  the  fiscal  year 
ending  September  30,  1884.  During  the  past  year  a  new 
school  board  has  been  appointed  by  tlie  court,  and  tlie  mem- 
bers have  entered  upon  their  duties  with  an  energy  and  spirit 
which  promise  good  results  for  the  future. 

The  efforts  of  the  new  board  were  first  directed  to  secure 
the  passage  of  an  act  by  the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland 
authorizing  the  County  Commissioners  of  Washington  County 
to  issue  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $13,000  lo  liquidate  the  in- 
debtedness of  the  school  board.  The  bonds  were  accordingly 
placed  at  four  per  cent,  and  the  proceeds  turned  over  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  School  Board,  who  has  at  this  writing  paid 
off  the  debt  of  the  board  in  full. 

The  board  was  enabled  also  to  secure  an  addition  of  $5,800 
to  the  local  levy  for  the  current  year,  of  which  sum  $1,800 
were  appropriated  for  new  houses. 

Eight  new  buildings  were  placed  under  contract,  and  all 
are  nearly  completed.  Five  additional  schools  have  been 
opened,  and  extensive  repairs,  amounting  to  between  $2,500 
and  $3,000,  have  been  made. 

The  schools  which  I  have  visited  since  September  1st,  1884, 
show  an  excellent  attendance,  and  we  may  very  reasonably 
anticipate  an  increased  attendance  for  the  year. 

Our  High  School  maintains  its  reputation  for  good  work, 
and  is  now  taxed  to  its  utmost  capacity,  and  nearly  all  our 
graded  schools  are  measuring  fully  up  to  the  standard  of  work 
and  usefulness  w^hich  we  have  constantly  aimed  to  establish 
for  them.  Eespectfully  submitted, 

P.  A.  WITHER, 
Secretary.

Annual  Rejport  of  ike 


WrCOMICO  COUNTY. 


Professor  M.  A.  Newell. 

Dear  Sir:  I  send  you  herewith  the  Annual  Report  of  the 
Public  Schools  of  Wicomico  county.  I  know  of  nothing  that 
calls  for  special  attention.  Our  schools  are  in  about  the  same 
condition  that  they  were  twelve  months  ago.  I  am  not  pre- 
pared to  say  that  there  has  been  any  decided  change  in  the 
work.  The  Board  is  making  an  effort,  and  with  some  degree 
of  success,  to  get  better  houses  and  more  comforts  generally^ 
for  the  pupils.  Our  county  has  kindly  responded  to  our  calls 
for  aid  for  this  purpose  by  levying  an  additional  $1,000  for 
building  school-houses.  This  will  meet  our  demands.  We 
think  a  sentiment  in  favor  of  greater  facilities  for  education 
is  growing  with  our  people.  As  usual,  our  schools  were  open 
1\  months.  We  are  not  making  an  effort  to  run  them  longer 
than  this,  believing  that  there  are,  pro  rata,  better  results 
than  there  would  be  for  a  longer  time. 

It  will  be  seen  by  examining  the  "summary"  page  that 
we  do  not  report  as  many  school-houses  this  year  as  last.  It 
has  been  a  custom  heretofore  to  report  houses  long  used  for 
school  purposes,  but  rented.  We  now  report  those  actually 
owned  by  the  Board. 

THOS.  PEERY, 

Secretary.

Training  School,  I  have  the  honor  to  transmit  to  you  the 
following : 

HISTORICAL  SKETCH. 

April  23,  1883,  Messrs.  Joshua  Plaskitt,  James  W.  Bowers 
and  John  F.  Hancock  were  appointed  a  committee  on  indus- 
trial education.  To  the  committee  were  added  the  President 
of  the  Board  of  School  Commissioners  and  the  Superintendent 
and  the  Assistant  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction. 

September  28,  1883,  the  undersigned  prepared  for  the  Bal- 
timore Sun  a  resume  of  the  information  submitted  to  the 
Committee,  giving  the  gist  of  the  opinions  and  arguments  de- 
veloped and  the  suggestions  and  recommendations  offered 
in  relation  to  the  establishment  of  the  proposed  manual 
training  school. 

October  20,  1883,  the  City  Council,  at  the  instance  of  John 
B.  Wentz,  Esq.,  directed  the  Board  of  Commissioners  of  Pub- 
lic Schools  to  establish  a  school  for  manual  training. 

December  20,  18^3,  the  writer  was  commissioned  by  the 
President  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners  of  Public  Schools 
to  visit  St.  Louis  and  Chicago  and  inspect  the  manual  train- 
ing schools  in  those  cities.  He  submitted  a  report  on  his 
return,  which  was  published  in  the  Baltimore  Sun,  Januarys 
1884.

January  14,  18S4,  a  prospectus  of  the  school  was  published. 
Recognizing  the  success  of  the  school  in  St.  Louis,  under  Dr. 
Woodward,  the  circular  provided  for  the  establishment  of  a 
school  on  fhe  same  plan. 

January  31,  1884-,  on  motion  of  Mr.  Joshua  Plaskitt,  the 
General  Assembly  of  Maryland  repealed  the  Act  passed  in 
1868,  entitled  "Public  Education,"  and  enacted  a  section  in 
lieu  thereof  that  "  the  Mayor  and  City  Council  of  Baltimore 
shall  have  full  power  and  authority  to  establish  in  said  city  a 
system  of  free  public  schools  which  shall  include  a  school  or 
schools  for  manual  or  industrial  training." 

February  4,  1884,  Prof.  Calvin  M.  Woodward,  Dean  of  the 
Polytechnic  School  and  Director  of  the  Manual  Training 
School  of  Washington  University,  St.  Louis,  delivered  an 
address,  at  Johns  Hopkins  University,  on  "  The  Fruits  of 
Manual  Training."  President  D.  C.  Gilman  had  given  the 
use  of  Hopkins  Hall  to  the  Committee  on  Manual  Training 
School,  who  had  issued  some  five  hundred  invitations.  John 
T.  Morris,  Esq.,  President  of  the  School  Board,  presided. 

THE  WORK  OF  THE  SCHOOL. 

March  3,  1884,  the  school  passed  "out  of  the  stage  of 
prospectus  into  the  stage  of  existence."  Our  Baltimore 
Manual  Training  School  is  the  first  instance  where  a  school 
entirely  devoted  to  manual  training  has  been  organized  on 
the  same  plan  and  grade  as  part  of  any  public  school  system. 
It  represents  the  last  and  boldest  step  that  has  been  taken  to 
relieve  public  education  from  the  accusation  that  it  is  "  un- 
practical," and  its  inception  marks  an  era  in  the  educational 
history  of  Baltimore. 

That  there  was  a  real  demand  for  a  manual  training  school 
in  Baltimore  is  abundantly  shown  by  the  fact  that  hundreds 
of  boys  have  sought  admission.  Although  it  was  intended 
"  not  to  have  a  class  of  more  than  forty  or  fifty  pupils  at 
first,"  so  numerous  were  the  applications  for  admission  that 
the  month  of  March  closed  with  (■>2  students  on  roll,  April 
with  80,  June  with  100,  and  September  with  150.

It  will  be  remembered  that  boys  fourteen  years  of  age, 
members  of  the  City  College  or  pupils  in  the  first  grade  of  a 
grammar  or  of  a  "public"  school,  were  to  be  admitted  with- 
out examination.  One  hundred  and  twenty-five  out  of  the 
hundred  and  fifty  students  in  attendance  when  the  school 
closed  in  December  had  brought  certificates  signed  by  the 
principal  of  the  Baltimore  City  College  or  the  principal  of  a 
male  grammar  school,  or  the  principal  of  a  "public"  school. 

The  course  of  study  proposed  for  the  first  year — being 
subject  to  whatever  changes  experience  might  dictate — was 
enlarged  by  the  addition  of  geometry  and  physics  to  the 
theoretical  studies  (arithmetic,  algebra,  English  history, 
physical  geography,  physiology  and  drawing)  to  provide  for 
the  students  who  carr,e  from  the  first,  second  and  third-year 
classes  of  the  City  College.  To  the  shop-work  (carpentry 
and  joinery)  were  added  vise-work,  forging,  wood-turning  and 
soldering,  instruction  in  which  continued  to  July  3rd  ox{\\. 
In  the  absence  of  any  rules  or  regulations,  the  administration 
of  the  school  was  exercised  through  orders  and  instructions 
received  from  the  committee  or  its  chairman. 

On  the  afternoon  of  June  12tli  there  was  the  first  exhibi- 
tion of  drawings  made  and  shop-work  done  during  the  pre- 
vious three  months.  The  "Training  School  Press"  printed 
the  invitations  and  programmes.  State  and  city  officials, 
parents  and  invited  guests  filled  the  hall.  The  programme 
consisted  of  tw^o  parts,  as  follows :  Part  I.  participated  in  by 
the  students  only,  and  Part  II.  by  the  President  of  the  School 
Board,  by  the  gentleman  who  framed  the  ordinance  establish- 
ing the  school,  and  by  those  whose  sons  w^ere  then  enrolled 
as  students  of  the  school  and  had  tested  its  usefulness.

In  September  the  school  numbered  150  students,  whose 
average  age  is  15  years  6  months.  They  were  formed  into 
three  classes,  each  containing  fifty.  The  school  session  (9  A. 
M.  to  21  P.  M.)  was  divided  into  three  equal  periods  of  1\ 
hours  each — not  counting  from  12  M.  to  1  P.  M.  A  class, 
when  it  went  into  the  shops  for  instruction,  was  separated 
into  two  equal  sections — 25  students  going  to  the  wood- 
working department  and  25  to  the  metal  department — each 
section  being  under  the  care  of  a  special  teacher.  The 
theoretical  studies  (arithmetic,  algebra,  geometry,  English 
history,  physics,  physiology,  geography  and  drawing)  were 
taught  to  classes  of  fifty. 

September  1,  the  mechanic  art  courses  in  carpentry, 
joinery  and  vise-work  in  use  in  the  School  of  Mechanic  Arts, 
Boston,  were  adopted.  Their  spirit  and  method  have  been 
faithfully  adhered  to,  so  that  instruction  in  the  shops  has  not 
been  left  to  accident  or  caprice.  Mr.  Dugent,  instructor  in 
the  metal  department,  thus  writes  :  "  The  method  of  teach- 
ing is  to  name  and  describe  the  various  tools,  and  give  prac- 
tical instruction  in  the  use  of  them.  The  system  upon  which 
we  work  is  arranged  so  that  the  students  at  the  vises  liave 
each  a  piece  of  metal  to  work  into  a  certain  form.  Each 
form  is  a  lesson,  and  when  one  is  completed  another  is  given. 
I  am  perfectly  satisfied  with  tiie  present  system.  The  advan- 
tage of  the  above  system  is  that  it  enables  the  instructor  to 
compare  the  progress  of  the  diff'erent  pupils  so  as  to  form  an 
average."  Mr.  Onion,  instructor  in  the  wood-working  depart- 
ment, briefly  reports  as  follows  :  Five  per  cent,  of  material 
is  spoiled" — "lessons  are  given  in  the  use  of  wood- working 
tools" — "school  work  is  comparatively  better  than  outside 
work" — "method  of  teaching  is  (1)  by  class  instruction,  (2) 
by  individual  instruction" — "1  am  satisfied  with  the  present 
system  of  instruction." 

All  the  students  will  pass  successively  in  the  first  year 
(froin  September  1,  188 J,  to  July  3,  1885)  through  the  wood- 
working and  metal  shops.  The  75  students  who  have  been 
under  instruction  in  carpentry  and  joinery  will,  on  February 
10,  1885,  after  having  spent  half  of  the  scholastic  year  in  the 


20 


Appendix. 


wood-working  department,  take  the  places  of  the  75  who  up 
to  that  time  will  have  been  pursuing  the  course  in  vise-work. 

The  lessons  completed  in  the  wood-working  department 
are  as  follows : 

1.  Mitered  Frame. 

2.  Single  open  Mortise  and  Tenon. 

3.  Double  open  Mortise  and  Tenon. 

4.  Through  Mortise  and  Tenon. 

5.  Line  Mortise  and  Tenon. 

6.  Single  open  Mortise  and  Tenon  with  Mitre  Joint. 

7.  Double  open  Mortise  and  Tenon  with  Square  and 
Mitre  Joint. 

8.  Through  Mortise  and  Tenon  for  Rabbeted  Frame. 

9.  Through  Mortise  and  Tenon  for  Double  Rabbeted 
Frame. 

10.  Brace  Joint  with  Mortise  and  Tenon. 

11.  Blind  Mortise  and  Tenon  with  Post. 

12.  Dowel  Joint. 

The  lessons  completed  in  the  Metal  Department  are  as 
follows  (vise-work  only,  chipping  and  filing) : 

1.  Rectangular  Block. 

2.  Rectangular  Block  with  Champered  Edges. 

3.  Octagon. 

4.  Slot  Joint  (half  finished). 

Small  classes  have  also  used  the  printing  press,  the  papyro- 
graph  and  the  type-writer. 

Past  Assistant  Engineer  Ford  thus  reports  his  work : 

Weekly  recitations  in  Geometry,  Trigonometry  and  Men- 
suration have  been  heard,  and  lectures  given  in  Physics,  and 
daily  practice  in  drawing  in  periods  varying  from  45  to  90 
minutes  each,  to  all  students. 

The  students  in  A  class  have  completed  the  first  book  of 
Geometry,  those  in  B  class  are  well  advanced  in  the  first 
book,  and  those  in  C  class  are  just  commencing  the  theorems. 
In  Trigonometry  the  students  of  A  class  are  studying  the 
functions  of  the  arc,  and  those  of  B  and  C  classes  are  finish- 
ing logarithms. 

In  Mensuration  the  students  of  A,  B  and  C  classes  are

studying  the  theory  ol'  ^lensnratioii  the  notes  of  Has- 

Avell  and  Tantwine. 

"  In  Physics  the  students  of  A,  B  and  C  classes  have 
advanced  as  far  as  the  Composition  and  Resolution  of  Forces, 
from  notes  of  Avery  and  Ganot.  Experiments  with  the 
instruments  belonging  to  the  school  have  been  made  when 
practicable.  Without  a  laboratory  and  additional  instru- 
ments, thece  experiments  are  necessarily  not  so  complete  as 
is  desirable.  Nearly  all  the  necessary  instruments  could  be 
made  by  the  advanced  students  in  the  school,  and  as  they  are 
of  high  cost  it  is  recommended  that  they  be  so  made. 

"  The  students  have  all  been  instructed  in  the  use  of  the 
scale  and  ordinary  drawing  instruments,  except  in  the  use  of 
the  pen.  The  drawing  has  been  of  geometrical  forms,  joints, 
beams  and  trusses,  besides  working  drawings  for  the  shops. 
These  have  been  sketched  on  a  black-board,  explained,  the 
names  and  fitting  of  the  different  parts  noted,  the  sizes  given, 
and  all  necessary  calculations  made,  and  a  scale  to  which  to 
work  noted,  when  the  work  is  executed  to  a  scale  on  paper. 
It  is  proposed  to  continue  this  system  to  include  form  and 
strength  of  materials  and  architectural  and  mechanical  con- 
structions. In  other  words,  the  method  is  that  of  the  best 
draughting  rooms. 

"A  sub  class  of  the  more  advanced  students  of  A  class  has 
made  drawings  of  the  difierent  floors  of  the  building  occu- 
pied by  this  school,  showing  the  present  arrangement  of  tools 
and  machinery  and  the  arrangement  of  the  class  rooms." 

The  Director  has  given  instruction  in  English  language 
and  literature,  history,  physiology,  industrial  geography  and 
map-drawing,  higher  arithmetic  and  algebra.  The  habit  of 
diagramming,  picturing  and  tabulating  has  been  taught,  and 
practically  ours  has  been  a  "  school  without  text-books."  It 
is  not  proposed  to  follow  so  closely  such  a  method  of  instruc- 
tion, but  it  is  believed  that  the  teacher  who  makes  a  free  use 
of  such  teaching  is  the  one  from  whom  the  scholars  get  their 
most  helpful  items  of  knowledge,  and  to  whom  they  give  in 
the  end  their  warmest  aftcction.  The  late  assistant  superin- 
tendent, whose  son  is  a  student  in  the  school,  thus  wrote  of 
he  method  of  instruction  :

Appendix. 


*'  On  returning  iip-stairs  we  passed  through  a  room  where 
the  printino;  press  was  at  work,  and  several  boys  were  em- 
ployed in  setting  the  type  for  some  printing  matter  to  be  used 
in  the  school.  In  the  next  room  the  rest  of  the  boys  were 
engaged  in  the  study  of  History.  The  novel  and  interesting 
way  in  which  this  study  is  taught  awakened  the  longing  to 
have  studied  the  annals  of  our  country's  glories  in  a  like 
manner.  Not  merely  the  dry  facts  of  some  by-gone  event 
were  here  given.  Geography  and  History,  '  now  and  forever, 
one  and  inseparable,'  were  not  rudely  torn  asunder  to  be 
studied  in  a  broken,  fragmentary  way.  The  mutual  depend- 
ence they  have  upon  one  another  was  recognized,  and  by 
their  union  one  of  the  most  interesting  studies  formed  that 
ever  delighted  boyish  hearts.  The  topic  for  the  day  happened 
to  be  the  late  civil  war.  On  one  of  the  black  boards  was  a 
map  of  the  theatre  of  war..  The  solid  North,  the  solid 
South,  and  Maryland,  Missouri  and  Kentucky,  which,  though 
sympathizing  with  the  South,  joined  the  North,  were  eoch 
designated  by  a  different  color.  West  Virginia,  as  separating 
from  the  mother  state,  was  also  specially  marked.  The  boys 
copied  this  map,  and  while  doing  so  studied  the  products  of 
the  states,  the  contour  of  their  surfaces,  their  climate  and 
soil.  Next  came  the  state  of  society  existing  in  each,  with 
the  prevailing  political  parties,  the  relation  each  section  bore 
to  the  National  Government  and  to  foreign  countries,  until 
finally  the  causes  of  the  war  stood  forth  in  bold  relief,  and 
each  one  saw  and  understood  how  inevitable  was  the  conflict, 
and  that,  no  matter  how  long  postponed,  there  was  only  one 
way  of  settling  the  differences  in  opinion  caused  by  centuries 
of  different  educaticn  and  experience.  Here  biography,  the 
history  of  individual  lives,  stepped  in  and  joined  her  charms 
to  those  of  her  sister  studies.  The  boys,  with  ready  sympa- 
thy, followed  the  lives  of  prominent  commanders  on  either 
side,  and  identified  their  heroes,  as  far  as  possible,  with  the 
places  in  which  some  noble  daring  action  of  theirs  gleamed 
forth  in  proof  of  their  greatness.  Finally  came  the  end  of 
the  long  struggle  and  its  result,  with  the  entire  change  in 
life  and  customs  occasioned  thereby.  Thus  the  Kevolutionary 
war,  the  war  with  England  in  1S12,  the  Mexican  conflict,  and 


Appendix, 


23 


tlie  Franco-German  war  of  1S70,  have  been  studied,  and 
surelj  the  boys  will  remember  more  definitely  the  many  vic- 
tories due  to  American  valor  by  being  brought  face  to  face 
with  them  in  this  way  than  by  poring  for  months  over  musty 
volumes  of  dry  facts,  and  the  situation  of  towns  and  rivers  is 
certainly  more  indelibly  engraven  on  their  memory  by  asso- 
ciating it  with  the  actions  through  which  it  grew  famous. 

"  Physiolog}^,  too,  that  study  all-important  to  man,  is  taught 
by  means  of  drawings,  which  the  boys  are  required  to  make, 
sometimes  enlarging  a  small  wood  cut  into  a  chart  two  or 
three  feet  long.  The  structure  of  bones,  the  position  of  the 
muscles,  the  distribution  of  the  nerves  and  the  circulation  of 
the  blood,  all  the  various  movements  and  functions  of  the 
organs  of  the  body,  are  thus  explained  to  them.  They  arc 
taught  in  this  practical  way  how  wonderful  is  this  outer  gar- 
ment of  our  soul,  Avhile  at  the  same  time  they  gain  great 
proficiency  in  ihe  use  of  that  '  universal  language  of  the 
world,'  in  which  the  Indian  of  the  Western  prairies  may  con- 
verse with  the  highly  cultured  sage  of  England  or  France, 
though  neither  understands  what  the  other  speaks  ;  by  which 
the  man  of  science  may  explain  to  the  simplest  and  humblest 
peasant  the  most  complicated  and  abstruse  problems;  but 
without  which  he  will  continually  be  troubled  to  make  him- 
self understood,  though  he  use  the  finest  figures  of  language 
and  the  clearest  logic. 

"Surely  all  who  have  accompanied  ns  will  agree  that  the 
motto  of  the  school,  '  The  cunning  hand  and  cultured  brain,' 
as  there  developed,  is  the  thing  to  be  sought  after  by  all  who 
expect  to  keep  up  in  the  race  of  humanity  on  the  road  of 
life,  and  that  unless  these  two  are  taken  equal  account  of  hs 
all  educators,  evil  results  are  bound  to  follow  and  make  them- 
selves felt  in  the  progress  of  the  community." 

Discipline.  The  greatest  care  has  been  taken  to  foster  a 
spirit  of  manliness  and  truthfulness  and  a  high  sense  of  duty 
among  the  students,  and  the  discipline  has  been  administered 
by  an  appeal  to  these  feelings.  In  every  instance  where 
school  property  has  been  injured  or  destroyed  by  the  students 
they  have  replaced  the  same.  It  has  also  been  considered  of 
the  first  importance  to  act  in  harmony  with  the  parents. 


Appendix. 


The  faculty  has  ruled  upon  doubtful  points  of  discipline  as 
they  arose,  and  this  scrupulous  procedure,  while  giving  pre- 
cedents for  the  future,  has  insured  precision  and  consistency. 

Visitors.  His  Excellency,  the  Governor  of  Maryland  ;  his 
honor,  the  Mayor  of  Baltimore;  officers  of  educational  insti- 
tutions tliroughout  the  country;  army  and  navy  officers; 
state  and  city  officials;  and  others  have  visited  the  school. 

Excursions.  In  aid  of  the  practical  studies  of  the  school, 
and  as  a  means  of  familiarizing  the  students  with  the  actual 
details  of  work  as  is  done  in  the  School  of  Industrial  Science, 
Boston,  and  similar  schools;  the  students,  with  their  teachers, 
made  Saturday  visits  of  inspection  to — the  Pump  House  in 
Druid  Hill  Park;  the  Ice-Boat  "  Latrobe ;"  the  shops  of  the 
B.  &  O.  H.  K.  at  Mount  Clare;  Loch  Raven,  Maryland  Cen- 
tral B.  B.;  Navy  Yard,  Washington ;  J.  F.  W.  Dorman's 
Printing  Press  Factory  ;  John  Byan  &  Co.'s  Type  Foundry  ; 
E.  L.  Tunio  &  Co.'s  Pianing  Mill ;  Smith  &  Wick's  Can  Fac- 
tory;  Isaac  A.  Shepherd  &  Co.'s  Iron  Foundry;  Otto  Duker 
ife  Co.'s  Lumber  Manufactory;  Naval  Academy,  Annapolis; 
Union  Bridge  and  Penmar,  Western  Md.  R.  B.;  Poole  ^ 
Hunt's  Iron  Foundry ;  Wm.  E.  Hooper  &  Co.'s  Cotton  Fac- 
tory ;  Brush  Electric  Light  Works;  Wm.  E.  Woodall  &  Co.'s 
Ship  Yard.  Reports  of  the  visits  were  handed  in,  which 
included  descriptions  and  diagrams  of  the  objects  seen. 

CONCLUSION. 

In  the  foregoing,  the  effort  has  been  to  give  clear  and  sim- 
ple statements  which  tell  their  own  story.  The  success  of  the 
enterprise  has  been  beyond  expectation,  and  it  cannot  be  de- 
nied that  the  school  has  been  a  praiseworthy  experiment. 

Mr.  Wm.  Dngent  and  Mr.  Jas.  H.  W.  Onion,  instructors, 
liave  been  associated  with  me  from  the  day  the  school  opened, 
and  Past  Assistant  Engineer  John  D.  Ford,  IT.  S.  Navy, 
entered  on  duty  March  17th.  These  gentlemen  have  exerted 
all  their  ability,  all  their  energy,  all  their  skill,  all  their  re- 
sources of  whatever  kind,  in  broad,  hearty  eflbrts  to  make 
the  school  a  success.
