Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the School Committee of the Town of Dedham, 1892-93 The number of pupils in the Fisher school is about one third of the number thirty years ago. In 1863 (the Fisher school being then District No. The whole number of scholars in summer was 28, and in winter 29, and the average attendance in summer was 23, and in winter 20. The children belonging to, and the number attending this school, have gradually diminished from year to year. For ten years last past the average daily attendance has been and last year it was There does not appear to be any reasonable probability that the number will be greater in the near future. The schoolhouse is old and difficult to warm in the winter. The seats and desks for the children occupy a small space in the centre of the floor, and are only in part occupied when all the scholars are present. The appearance of things in this school is discouraging, it might be said disheartening to both teacher and pupils. The number of scholars is so small that all that animation and enthusiasm and emulation which is usually found in a collective body of persons eu gaged in the same pursuit, is wanting. You may as reason ably expect to kindle a hte with one stick of wood as to rouse enthusiasm in a class composed of one boy. It is an imperative duty which the Committee owe to the children who attend this school to recommend that it be discontinued, and to allow these children to attend such other schools as may be most convenient for them. The committee therefore recommend that this school be discontinued at the close of the current school year.
