Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the School Committee of the City of Boston, 1858-9 The gentlemen who drew up the Report of last year, referred to that of the preceding year, as having gone so thoroughly over the field of historical investigation, and discussed theories and general principles of educa tion with so much minuteness of detail, that little was left to them to present, in the way either of history or of Speculation. These gentlemen did not over-estimate the value of the Report alluded to. For a long time to come, it will be regarded as a standard Document, to which those ignorant of the history of our Schools may refer for information. The character and the length of that Report very much lightened the labors of the Committee of last year, and will produce the same effect on those of the Committee of this year.

The average cost per year for each pupil in the day schools was, for tuition, for all items, including school-houses and lots, care of build ings, school apparatus, etc., These figures show more plainly than any words can do the magnitude of the educational work of the city, and the responsibilities of the School Board. To provide suitably for the mental, and, so far as may be, for the moral training of nearly forty thousand children, is the great duty for the per'formance of which we are accountable to our fellow-citizens. The amount of money expended should not seem large, in consideration of the objects in view. Nor can it ever be smaller than at present. Not only the growth of the city, but the increase of general cul ture, and the demand for new branches and methods of instruction, forbid us to expect any diminution of our educational appliances, or of the expenditures to which they give rise.

The jury also especially com mended the Boston exhibit as bearing every indication of honest every-day work. Of the authorized subjects, several have been forced into the front rank of essentials by modern social conditions. This is true of sewing, cooking, physical training and elementary science. The same change in social conditions is responsible for the introduction of physical exercises into the schools. The limited Opportunities which the city affords for free play, and the small demands of modern home life upon the bodily activities of children, call for some counteracting efforts, and tentative beginnings have been made in various forms of school exercises. Thus the Boston school course is not a miscellaneous collection of subjects brought together by the chance efforts of enthusiasts, but a conscious and intelligent effort of the people to frame a course of elementary instruction and training adapted to the changed condi tions of social life.
