 General Report. 
 
 To the Public: 
 
 As the publication of an Animal Catalogue is attended with no 
 little expense, and as the preparation of its contents is the result of 
 painstaking effort upon the part of tlie school officers, it is to be hoped 
 that the public generally, especially the patrons, will give the matter 
 set forth careful and earnest attention. In this Catalogue the Board 
 of Education have taken pains to lay before the public the exact 
 status of the schools. Nothing has been done for show. The aim of 
 the authorities is to make an actual report of the work done, so as to 
 enable the patrons to see how faithfully the great trust of managing 
 the schools has been carried out. 
 
 The system of "Hall Teaching," in vogue so many years, was dis- 
 carded at the beginning of the scholastic year. Instead of placing 
 the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades with those of the high 
 school in the large hall, they were placed in separate rooms, under the 
 care of Misses Craig and Shackelford, respectively. The very decided 
 improvement in the deportment of the pupils proves conclusively that 
 the change was wisely made. The order in these grades was as nearly 
 perfect as could be hoped by the most exacting critic. 
 
 Instead of asking the teachers of the first and third grades to 
 divide between them the work of the second grade, an additional 
 teachei will be employed for that work. When that has been done 
 there will be but one grade in each room below the high school. This 
 plan will enable each teacher to give her whole attention to one grade. 
 By devoting three-fifths of the time to recitation work and two-fifths 
 to individual instruction, much better results will be attained. As our 
 schools will then be graded according to the best and most modern 
 standard, pronounced the perfection of grading, our teachers will have 
 no excuse whatever for not doing the very best work. 
 
 In building a new music hall on the school grounds, we have done 
 away with the nuisance of compelling the school children to lose any 
 
14 DYEBSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
 
 time in going to aud from their music work. Wishing to avoid show 
 r>t' any kind, we have dispensed with ''public days." All days are 
 public 'lays in the sense that the schools are open to the inspection of 
 the patrons every day in the school year. 
 
 A careful inspection ot the course of study, as arranged for the 
 coming year, will readily convince the pations that it has been mate- 
 rially strengthened. Hereafter more attention will be paid to the 
 study of English. 
 
 Algebra is no longer a seventh grade study, while the study of 
 Latin will not be taken up until the pupil has reached the ninth or 
 junior grade. This ai-raugement will enable the teachers of the grades 
 to devote more time to the teaching of the common branches. In the 
 matter of promoting pupils, our teachers have acted conscientiously, 
 believing it to be wrong to promote a child to a higher grade before it 
 is prepared for the work of that grade. 
 
 By scrutinizing the list of non -promotions, the patrons can see 
 that the majority of those belonging to this list were quite irregular 
 in their attendance. Frequent absence is fatal to promotion. As the 
 course of study for the next year is decidedly stronger than that of 
 the year just closed, the pupils will have to put forth extra exertion if 
 they would earn promotion. When a system of schools like ours pro- 
 motes 66 2 3 per cent, of its enrollment it does remarkably well — to 
 promote a larger per cent, does uot argue well for the thoroughness of 
 the school . Instead of worrying the pupils and teachers with exam- 
 inations, we have given them all their time to prosecute their studies. 
 
 To earn promotion, a pupil below the high school must make an 
 average of 70 on a scale of 100 as perfect. High school pupils are 
 promoted when they make an average of 75 on a scale of 100 as per- 
 fect. These averages are based on the class standing for the entire 
 year. 
 
 As our schools have neither library nor philosophical apparatus, 
 our work in Science aud Literature is not what we wish it to be. 
 
 As the teachers were instructed at the beginning of the year to 
 keep in close touch with the parents, ve^y little corporal punishment 
 was inflicted, as it was found to be unnecessary. 
 
 All connected with the schools worked in perfect harmony. The 
 teachers rendered strict obedience to those in authority over them, 
 and were thereby fitted to exact like obedience of their pupils. The 
 best of feeling prevailed among the teachers. There was absolutely 
 
DYERSBTJRG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 15 
 
 no jarring or wrangling. All knew their duty and did tlieir best to do 
 well what was required of them. 
 
 Duriug the entire year the Board of Education was not called on 
 to decide a single case of trouble. In fact, there was no trouble to be 
 settled. The teachers are proud of the fact that throughout the year 
 they have had the uniform and hearty support of the patrons, and at- 
 tribute their success to this happy state of affairs. Without such sup- 
 port on the. part of parents, the work of the teachers is materially 
 handicapped. Where teachers and parents work harmoniously the 
 best results must necessarily follow. The presumption is that both 
 parents and teachers have at heart the best interests of the children 
 attending school, and that to do satisfactory work there must be co- 
 operation. If, then, at any time of the coming year parents should 
 have any grievance growing out of the treatment of their children by 
 the teachers, the authorities request that they lodge their complaints 
 with the principal, and if they fail to receive satisfaction at his hands 
 to submit the matter in writing to the Board of Education. We 
 earnestly hope that the same understanding between patrons and 
 teachers will prevail during the coming year that existed during the 
 past year. 
 
 Read carefully the new school ordinance found on another page of 
 this Catalogue, and you will see what has been done by the city 
 authorities to improve our city schools. 
 
 With the full determination to make our schools better than they 
 were last year, this report is respectfully submitted.

 Methods of Instruction. 
 
 If there is anything connected with school work more to be abhorred 
 and condemned than all others, it is most assuredly a superficial method 
 of instruction. Not only is the mind of the learner not developed, 
 but the time — so valuable to him, and never to return — is more than 
 wasted. 
 
 If education is the healthful and harmonious development of the 
 powers and faculties of the mind, if certain studies can only be suc- 
 cessfully pursued at a given time and in a given order, the time wasted 
 by using a superficial method of instructoin can never be recalled, and 
 the enormity of the crime becomes at once apparent to every right- 
 thinking and honest person. Under the present management there is 
 no room for either a lazy teacher or pupil. Despising laziness in any 
 person, especially in a teacher or pupil, I have earnestly endeavored 
 to eradicate every vestige of superficiality and to make the work diffi- 
 cult and thorough. Being thoroughly convinced of the fact that 
 nothing is learned from easy lessons, I take pains to direct my teachers 
 to assign all work in such a way as to make pupils work. 
 
 Of course, when pupils are made to work, teachers must work also. 
 My teachers are directed to dispense with the text -books in the reci- 
 tation whenever the pupils are required to do so. I have no patience 
 whatever with the teacher that confines himself wholly to the text- 
 books; that cannot convince his pupils that he has thoroughly 
 mastered the subject under consideration, and that he knows more 
 about it than is to be found in the text-book. Whenever the teacher 
 is self-reliant, earnest and enthusiastic, the pupils will be found to be 
 the same, for there is nothing more contageous than these character- 
 istics of the successful and conscientious teacher. 
 
 I do not restrict the teachers to any particular method — to MY 
 me* hod — but I do expect them to be acquainted with modern and 
 approved methods, such as will, under the circumstances, best develop 
 
20 DYERSBTJRG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
 
 the mind of the learner. It is certainly safe for the teacher find the 
 principal to judge of the methods from the results, for whenever the 
 results are good the methods must be good also. 
 
 By working hard ; by studying and utilizing the best methods; by 
 being wide-awake, earnest and enthusiastic, the teacher can accom- 
 plish a good work, one of which she may have just cause to be proud. 
 By reading standard journals of education; by an interchange of 
 opinions on all subjects connected with school work, at teachers' meet- 
 ings and institutes, and by means of other helps, the teacher always 
 prepares ways and means that enable him to make each day's work 
 profitable and substantial. In short, our method is that method that 
 will best develop the powers of the minds and hearts of the children 
 entrusted to our care.

 Course of Study. 
 
 o— — 
 
 Tiie following course of study has been approved by the Board of 
 Education : 
 
 No course of study should be so arranged as to retard the advance- 
 ment of the active and industrious pupil, or to hurry forward with 
 undue rapidity the pupil of moderate capacity. Some pupils are 
 naturally brighter than others, while, on the other hand, some are 
 extremely indolent. This course of study has been prepared for the 
 active and industrious pupil, and the lazy pupil must either study to 
 enable him to advance, or remain in the same grade a second year. 
 A child should be sent to school every day, for what he loses in a day 
 is often not made up, if made up at all, in a week. His grade ad- 
 vances while he does not, and when the time for promotion comes he 
 finds himself far behind his gi-ade. Knowing that many courses of 
 study are prepared more for show than for anything else, I wish to 
 state that there is nothing in this course that wdl not be taught the 
 coining year. To complete this course requires eleven years — three in 
 the High School, and eight below the Hig.i School — certainly time 
 enough to enable a pupil to acquire a fair and practical education.

 Dyersburg. 
 
 © 
 
 Dyersburg is the county seat of Dyer county, and is a city of about 
 4500 inhabitants. It is on the Illinois Central Railroad, midway be- 
 tween Memphis and Paducah, and at the head of steamboat navigation 
 on the Forked Deer River. Dyersburg is the most prosperous and 
 thrifty city of its size in the State of Tennessee, and possibly in the 
 South. From the bustling, busy appeai'unce of men and things in 
 this town one would think it a Western town, and no city of our 
 Western country has more rapidly and surely progressed in all that 
 goes to make a live city than has Dyersburg. She has had no mush- 
 room growth, and she has never attempted to get on a boom. Her 
 natural advantages, her location in the center of the richest agricul- 
 tural county in the State, and her proximity to an inexhaustible tim- 
 ber belt of both hard and soft woods, her railroads and river facilities, 
 and the natural energy and pluck of her pi'Ogressive citizenship, have 
 in the last quarter of a century transformed her from a hamlet of the 
 ordinary Southern type to the very front rank of the smaller cities of 
 the State and of the South. 
 
 There are also many beautiful homes to be found in the city, and 
 the visitors to our town, upon driving around the streets and suburbs, 
 will find many attractive and lovely residences surrounded with beau- 
 tiful lawns and richly embowered in pleasant shade. Home life in 
 Dyersburg is as lovely as business life is prosperous, and Dyersburg 
 grows more prosperous every year. 
 
34 DYERSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
 
 The People 
 
 Are typical Southerners, with some additions of Northern energy and 
 industry, and all elements work together harmoniously and success- 
 fully in the upbuilding of the best interests of the town. As a class, 
 our people are temperate, moral, industrious, progressive and wide 
 awake, and at the same time generous, courteous and hospitable. All 
 who have ever visited Dyersburg have fallen in love with her people. 
 
 Health. 
 
 The health of Dyeisburg is exceptionally good, and the place is 
 singularly free from epidemics and contagious diseases. In fact the city 
 has never had au epidemic. Mild forms of chills and fever were com- 
 mon in the early settlement of the county, but within the past six or 
 eight years, since the great forests have been cleared away in the 
 county, and much of the low lauds drained and put in cultivation, 
 even chills and mild forms of sickness are almost unknown. 
 
 Churches. 
 
 In the rapid strides of the city in material wealth and growth, the 
 citizens have not neglected their religious interests and duties. All 
 the orthodox denominations are well represented in Dyersburg, and 
 the beautiful and attractive temples of worship scattered over the city 
 might well entitle Dyersburg to be called the "City of Beautiful 
 Churches. Prominent aud able ministers preach the Word and ex- 
 pound the faith from the sacred desk every Sabbath, and the Sunday 
 Schools are maintained by every congregation. 
 
 The Schools. 
 
 A complete system of city schools has been inaugurated and put 
 in successful operation by the present progressive and up-to-date city 
 administration of Dyersburg. The system is managed by a board of 
 education, which elects a city superintendent of schools and the 
 
DYERSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 35 
 
 Teachers in the city schools. Ample funds are provided for the giving 
 to every pupil in the city limits a complete secondary education free 
 of charge, and arrangements are made for the reception of pupils 
 from beyond the district lines at very low rates, dependent upon the 
 advancement of the pupil. The teachers are chosen with sole regard to 
 their ability and successful work with the children. Our aim is to secure 
 the best teachers and do the best work. There will be no aim a ! display 
 or superficial work, I ut only to do faithful and conscientious work, stim- 
 ulate the mental activities of the pupils, inspire in them the love of 
 study and the spirit of investigation, and to train them up in the way 
 they should go. 
 
 The course of study in the city Schools of Dyei'sburg embraces all 
 the subjects required to be taught in the secondary schools of the 
 State, and other high school branches have been added besides. 
 There are eleven grades in the curriculum, and the average child will 
 do the work of one grade each year, so that it is estimated that a child 
 started in the city schools at six years of age will graduate at eighteen 
 if average work is done. Upon completion of the course of study 
 here, the graduate is fullv equipped to enter the Sophomore class of 
 any college or university. The graduates of our schools have demon- 
 strated the soundness and thoroughness of their training by the suc- 
 cess they have met with upon entering the more advanced institutions 
 of learning after finishing their studies here. We do not claim to be 
 either a college or a university, or to be able to give so complete an 
 education as these institutions of learning, and our aim is simply to 
 build a solid foundation for a splendid superstructure, and we do not 
 pretend to do more than we are able to do and do thoi'oughly . The motto 
 of the school is, "To be, rather than to seem to be," and it is the i-esolve 
 of our school authorities that "What we do, we shall do well." 
 
 The public school building of Dyersbnrg is a large and commodi" 
 ous structure capable of seatiug upwards of four hundred pupils. It 
 is two-story without including the basement, in which the heating 
 
36 DYERSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
 
 and ventilating apparatus is located. It is the intention of the board 
 at an early date to place the Ruttan system of warming: and ventilat- 
 ing the building in operation. Besides the main building there is a 
 one-story brick "annex," in which about two hundred pupils of the 
 primary grades are taught, and a two-room brich music room, where 
 vocal and instrumental music are taught. The buildings are situated 
 upon a hill rising in the center of the town and overlooking the city, 
 and they are embowered in a grove of beeck and oak, aud at the foot 
 of the hills springs of clear water gush forth and add much to the 
 attractiveness of "Science Hill." It is an ideal place for a school, 
 and all the surroundings are quite as conducive to study. 
 
 For any further information, address John N. Parker, President of 
 the Board; J. C. Doyle, Secretary; or D. B. Johnston, City Superin- 
 tendent.

 pal of Schools. 
 
DYERSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS 45 
 
 Rule 45. It shall be the duty of the Janitor to sweep and dust 
 daily the rooms and halls of the school building; to wash the floors, 
 windows and woodwork of the rooms and halls twice a year (during 
 the winter and summer vacations) ; to keep the walks in and around 
 the school premises free from ice and snow during the winter months. 
 
 Rule 4G. To examine daily into the condition of the outbuildings 
 
 and sidewalks, and to keep the same in good condition. To report to 
 the Principal any needed repairs or injury done to any school property, 
 ami during vacations to make such improvements on the building and 
 grounds as the Hoard of Education may direct. 
 
 RULE 47. To have the rooms sufficiently warmed (70 degrees 
 Fahrenheit) for school purposes by S:30 A.M. at all seasons when fires 
 are needed. 
 
 Rule 48. To remain about the building or grounds unless ex- 
 cused by the Principal. 
 
 Rule 49. To ring the bell at such time and in such manner as 
 directed by the Principal. To attend to all ordinary repairs, to keep 
 the clocks in running order and to regulate them whenever required. 
 
 Rule 50. Any person acting as Janitor on failing to comply fully 
 with any and all of the foregoing terms, conditions and requirements 
 shall be liable to dismissal at any time by the Board of Education. 
 
 DIVISION VI.— Who May Attend School. 
 
 Rule 51. As a general rule the residence of parents is the resi- 
 dence of their children. Boarding children in a district does not, of 
 itself, entitle them to the benefits of the free schools in said district. 
 The mere temporary residence of a fa lily in a district, solely to enjoy 
 the benefits of the free schools and with the intention of removal as 
 soon as that purpose is accomplished, does not entitle the children to 
 the privileges of said school. The removal of a portion of a family 
 from the legal domicile to another district, in order to send to the free 
 schools thereof, does not confer the right to do so. As a general rule 
 the residence of their parents is the residence of employees; hence 
 the privilege of the free schools in another district is not acquired by 
 placing children temporarily at service in that district. This includes 
 those who are placed in families to attend school and to do chore work 
 for their board.
