SELECTMEN'S REPORT.

In presenting to the town their annual report, the Select- men would state that they have endeavored to conduct the financial affairs of the town in an economical manner, in ac- cordance with the plainly expressed desire of the citizens at the annual appropriation meeting ; and although in some in- stances they have been compelled to overdraw certain appro- priations, in the main, it will be seen that the expenditures under their immediate control have come within the limits of the appropriations.

There was appropriated for highways, $4,000 ; expended, $3,527.32; balance unexpended, $472.68. For incidentals, $5,000; expended, $6,478.69; excess of expenditure, $1,478.- 69. It will be remembered that at the annual appropriation meeting the Selectmen asked for $7,000 for incidentals ; this amount was the result of careful estimates of known expend- itures to be incurred during the year. By referring to the incidental report, it will be seen that the six items of insur- ance, street lighting, rent of town offices, collector's salary, printing and gas amount to over $5,000 ; and the Selectmen being fully aware that the above items of expense must be provided for, felt fully justified in their request for $7,000. For poor, $3,500; expended, $2,564.32 ; balance unexpended, $935.68. Police, $1,500 ; expended, $1,468.60 ; balance unex- pended. $31.40. Total amount of above appropriations, $14,- 000; expended. $14,038.93.

highways.

The heavy rains in the early spring caused considerable damage to most of the hillside streets, and a large amount of

6

time and money was expended in putting them in repair before any permanent improvements were attempted. Dur- ing the past year, West street has been thoroughly rebuilt from the Boston line to its junction with Austin street, and will require but little attention for years to come. Fairmount avenue and River streets between the New York and New England and Boston and Providence railroads have been thoroughly rebuilt with screened gravel, and are in excellent condition, as is evident to all who use these thoroughfares ; the sidewalks also between the above-named points have been covered with fine gravel. Various other streets and sidewalks in the different sections of the town have been improved. A right of way having been given by the abuttors, the Select- men acting in concert with .the Board of Health, have con- structed a covered culvert under Green street, at a point near the Boston and Providence railroad depot, to convey into Mother brook the stagnant water which, after a heavy rain, accumulates on the low ground in the rear of said depot, and which, in the opinion of the Boards, was a fruitful source of disease, as well as a great inconvenience to the residents of that vicinity.

The bridges in town are believed to be in good condition. Fairmount avenue, Central Park avenue ; and River street bridge, above the Cotton mill (Readville District), have been replanked, and the abuttments of the bridge over Stony brook, near the Clarendon Hills station, have been repaired.

In regard to the highways, we would suggest that the gut- ters on several of the avenues on Fairmount be paved, as in this way only, can the said streets be kept in good con- dition. Central Park and Hyde Park avenues should be rebuilt during the coming year, as the heavy travel over these streets have worn them out. Had it not been for the con- tinued drouth in the summer, delaying the rebuilding of Fair- mount avenue and River street, this work would have been undertaken during the past season. The convenience of the travelling public requires that the town should take some action in regard to the construction of a covered culvert from

the corner of River and Webster streets, through Walter street to the river, as only in this way can the accumulation of surface water at this point be removed.

The guide boards throughout the town are in fair con- dition. " Old Sorrel " having died, after years of faithful service, the Selectmen have purchased a new horse to fill the vacancy.

STREET LAMPS.

During the past year, six street lamps have been added at private expense, and the total number now lighted by the town, including the handsome lantern on the town pump in Everett square, presented by F. A. Brown, Esq., the efficient agent of the New England Gas Light Company, is 133. The light furnished gives general satisfaction, and although occa- sional complaints have been received, upon investigation it ha6 usually been found that the fault was but temporary, and the company have been prompt to remedy the defect.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The resignation of the Fire Department early in the year compelled a reorganization, and this was effected through the co-operation of the retiring members, in a manner satisfactory to the Selectmen, and without imperilling the interests of the citizens. Unexpected expenditures on account of hose have obliged the department to exceed their appropriation ; but it was considered unwise by the joint boards to imperil the efficiency of the department for lack of working material. We are pleased to state that harmony prevails in the Depart- ment, and that the prompt response made to all calls upon it, and the earnest labors of its members is sufficient evidence of the interest taken by all connected with this branch of the public service.

FOURTH OF JULY.

The patriotic observance of the Centennial of American Independence by our citizens should not be allowed to pass

without mention in this report, the successful inception and carrying out of the celebration, are well known to every cit- izen ; and the permanent memorials in Everett square will long remain as reminders of that pleasant occasion. In this connection it is proper to add, that through the exertions of one of our citizens, the twenty-eighth day of October last was set apart as a general tree-planting day, and on that day there were set out on the streets and avenues of the town seven hundred shade trees.

TOWN HALL.

There has been received during the year from the Town Hall building, $729.00 ; less necessary expenses incurred, $313.15 ; net balance paid to Town Treasurer $415.85.

LICENSE LAW.

The Selectmen having carefully observed the working 'of the non-license plan during the previous year, were convinced that the best interests of the temperance cause would be served by the adoption of the law ; and have accordingly dur- ing the past year granted twelve licenses, of which five have been revoked for cause. The amount of money received from this source has been $1,700; less one-fourth of same paid into the State treasury, $425 ; leaving a balance of $1,275 paid into the Town treasury.

From carefully collected statistics in possession of the Board, it can be shown that a much smaller number of places for the sale of liquors are open in the town, than during the previous year, and while not claiming that this is wholly due to the course adopted, yet we are firmly of the opinion, that the law, although faulty in some respects, in view of the fact that no legislation in the past has been able to prevent the sale of liquors ; the present law is not wholly evil, and if aided by the hearty co-operation of the citizens, would tend to reduce to the minimum, the evils which flow from the un- restrained sale of intoxicating liquors.

9

In conclusion, the Selectmen would congratulate the cit- izens for the harmony which has prevailed in the various departments of the public service, and tender their hearty thanks for the support they have received from all classes of the citizens in carrying out the various plans of the Board.

Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

27 REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.

In submitting our report to the Town, we are able to say that the appropriation for the support of the poor, was ample to meet all expenditures and leave a surplus, as will be seen by the following statements :

The amount appropriated was $3,500, and we found to the credit of this department at the commencement of the year, $199.09 on account of coal purchased last year, making an aggregate of $3,699.09, of this sum there has been expended $2,763.41, leaving a balance of $935.68, which under our by- laws, goes into the sinking fund.

The amounts due from other towns, and the Common- wealth, on account of paupers aided by us, added to the amount paid for bills incurred in 1875, is sufficient to so reduce the sum expended, that the actual cost for the support of poor for the year will not exeeed $2,500. The Selectmen have employed quite a number of men during the year, (giving each a few days work on the streets,) who would in some cases have needed further aid from this department.

The Board of last year recommended " that the town pro- vide some suitable place for persons sick and destitute." As a matter of economy, we are of the opinion that some action should be taken in this matter as early as practicable. We are now boarding at considerable expense, at the Taunton Lunatic Asylum, four persons, and from a statement recently received from the Superintendent, we infer that they could be as well taken care of by a competent keeper of an alms- house as at that institution. We are also fully supporting others who have settlements in this town ; and we are liable, at any time, by the death of a parent, to have large families left to be provided for by the Overseers.

A large proportion of the persons to whom we have ren- dered aid have no settlement, but we did not feel it our duty, or deem it advisable to send families to the State Alms

28

House, when a comparatively small amount of assistance would relieve them. It is hoped that the laws of the Com- monwealth will be changed, so that Overseers may render temporary aid to worthy poor and be re-imbursed therefor, by the State.

TKAMPS.

This class of persons are a subject of comment in every municipal register in the Commonwealth. The Chief of Po- lice reports to us that 1257 "tramps" have been lodged in the Station House during the year. The expense to the town for food, medicine and extra attendance, amounts to $59.22, and by a careful calculation as to cost per capita, it will be seen that no extra inducements are offered to this class of individuals to repeat their visits, (for refieshments at least.) It is stated, however, to the Board that no person need go away hungry. The lodging-rooms are comfortable, and very few complain as to their treatment.

The following is a detailed statement of expenditures, to- gether with the names of persons to whom aid has been ren- dered during the year :

32 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

It is with satisfaction that we are enabled to state, that during the past year, the town has been free from any epi- demic. Two cases of reported small-pox, upon investigation proved to be varioloid, and the usual precautions were taken, until all danger of contagion had passed..

The sanitary laws have been practically enforced, and several nuisances abated. The stagnant water which in times past has accumulated on the low ground in the rear of the Boston & Providence Railroad, had become a source of frequent complaint to the Board, by residents in that vicinity ; and as the public good seemed to require that this nuisance should be abated, the Board have constructed a covered cul- vert under Green street, through private lands, the owners having given to the town a right of way by which the water is conveyed to Mother Brook.

The Board would suggest that the town take some action to prevent the common practice of depositing in Neponset river, dead animals, and other waste matter, as besides being an offence to the eye, in warm weather, when the water is low, the rapid decay of animal and vegetable matter, in this exposed situation, is dangerous to the health of the commu- nity, and becomes a public nuisance.

ENGINEERS' REPORT.

At the close of this, the Centennial year, it gives us great pleasure to announce that the department is at present very well equipped and in an efficient condition. The past year has been marked by an unusually large number of fires, and we regret to say, many of them have been the work of incen- diaries. The demands upon the department have conse- quently been frequent, yet have been promptly met, and to the best of the ability of its members, with the facilities at their disposal. We believe that the firemen have been dili- gent and faithful in the discharge of their duties.

There is at present in the department 5,300 feet of hose, 1,600 feet of which is nearly worn out, and 300 feet has been condemned, leaving 3,400 feet of good serviceable hose, 1000 feet having been purchased during the past year.

We have investigated the merits of the Chemical Fire En^ gine, and have come to the conclusion that one of them would be of great service to this Town, particularly where there is an insufficient supply of water, or at the early stages of a fire. We would earnestly recommend the purchase of one, as we consider that it would prove to be money well in- vested.

We find that a number of our fires are caused by defec- tive flues, and would recommend a building law, similar to the laws now in force in other cities and towns.

In conclusion we would add that something should be done with regard to obtaining water from Stony Brook, near West street ; on Dana avenue, Fairmount District ; and also in Sunnyside District.

Yours very respectfully,

WM. U. FAIRBAIRN, L. A RUNNELLS.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

To the Board of Selectmen :

Gentlemen, The subjoined is my annual report for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1876, together with the criminal record. The whole number of arrests during the year was 117, for the following crimes : Larceny, 7 ; assault and bat- tery, 15 ; liquor nuisance, 5 ; single sale of liquor, 13 ; illegal keeping liquor, 12 ; keeping open shop on the Lords' day, 3 ; common drunkards, 7 ; simple drunkeness, 27 ; breaking and entering in the night, 1 ; vagrants, 13 ; juvenile offenders, 12 ; rescue of horse from pound, 1 ; cruelty to animals, 1. The number of houses entered is less than last year, and I would request all persons having knowledge of robberies to report the same as soon as possible at the police office, as early in- formation in such cases is of the utmost importance. The lock-up is in good condition having been put in thorough repair. The number of tramps supplied with food and lodg- ing during the year was 1257, being nearly four hundred more than last year. The decrease of intemperance in the town has been very noticeable during the year. I would suggest that a By-law be passed by the town which shall apply to the suppression of truancy which is becoming alarmingly preva- lent. The following is a schedule of the property belonging to and contained in the Station-house, to-wit : 17 pairs of blankets, 8 mattrasses, 8 pillows, 4 slop buckets, 6 quart pots, 7 pairs handcuffs, 3 pair toggles, 4 billies, 4 rattles, 2 lanterns.

Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES JACOBS,

Chief of Police.

REPORT

THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

H. M. Cable, Chairman. TV. H. H. Andrews, Secretary. E. M. Lancaster.

H. C. Chamberlain. TV. J. Corcoran. R. W. Husted.

REPORT.

At the close of the first century of our national existence, and upon entering the second, we may well pause for the mo- ment, to consider the mistakes and errors of the past, and how, in the future, we may be able to avoid and remedy them.

Our fathers planted the seeds of prosperity when they es- tablished the common school, as the foundation of this Republic.

Education here is free. All may come to the fountain of knowledge and partake, the poor as well as the rich, without any invidious distinction of cast or sect. Here, knowledge is power. The common schools are the conservators of Republican institutions.

Rome once had her Republic, but she had her standing armies to defend it. America has her Republic, but her common schools are her defense. The common school sys- tem lies at the foundation of that form of government, which is best fitted for the highest development of man. Let it be carefully preserved and improved. To this end, therefore, let none but wise and harmonious counsels prevail in the control and management of this most important element in our government. No community can afford to be partisan in the management of its public schools.

The School Committee, as public officers, are vested, by the statutes of this Commonwealth, with great discretionary powers in the establishment and management of schools. It is well that the community take a lively interest in the management of schools, but it is of the utmost importance that it be co-operative with the Committee rather than disor- ganizing, and such as to neutralize their efforts. School Committees cannot make the schools effective without the co-operation of good teachers and well-disposed parents.

82

SCHOOL EXPENSES.

At the beginning of the present year the Committee were met with an obstacle somewhat embarrassing. At the town meeting, in March, they asked for an appropriation of $20,000 for the salaries of teachers and janitors, and for fuel. This was refused; and only $15,000 were appropriated. This action, on the part of the town, was nearly unanimous, there being scarcely a remonstrance against it. The Committee, though not legally bound by the action of the town, in the matter of school expenses, nevertheless felt it to be their duty to pay respectful attention to the expressed will of the citi- zens, and have endeavored, in every way known to a just economy, to reduce the expenses, so far as possible, without lowering the standard of the schools, and thus, in some de- gree, lighten the already too heavy burden resting on the tax- payers. In this, the Committee feel that they have succeeded, with the encouragement of a large part of the community and the co-operation of the teachers in cheerfully submitting to a reduction of their salaries. The schools have never been in so good a condition as they are to-day. The town was never blessed with better and more efficient teachers than those now serving in the schools, many of them having been with us a number of years.

The Committee recognize the fact that the present pay of the teachers would, in ordinary times of prosperity, be con- siderably too low ; but they also recognize the fact that many citizens in the community, who are tax-payers, have felt the necessity, for the past few years, of exercising the most rigid economy, in their business and households, to meet their current expenses, and some of those who have been re- garded as well to do in this world's goods, have not been able to meet their assessments, in consequence of which their estates have been sold for the taxes, as the records of the town officials will amply attest.

By the laws of this Commonwealth, education for children between the ages of five and fifteen years , is compulsory.

83

Poverty is the greatest obstacle to the execution of this law ; in other words, another law comes into play, which counter- acts and, to a considerable extent, overrides it, which is the law of necessity. " Necessity knows no law." Many chil- dren are kept out of school from this cause alone. The parents feel that their children must work to enable the family to maintain existence. The community is poor. The whole country is sensibly feeling the hard times. Much of this financial depression is due to the extravagance in the government of our Municipal, State and National matters. For the past fifteen years, extravagance has been the rule and not the exception in public as well as in private affairs. Two years ago, this town, through its School Committee, began the work of economy in the matter of school expenses, and this year a further decrease of expenses has been ef- fected, and our example has been followed in many other towns throughout the State. It may be a serious question as to whether it should begin with the schools, but the answer is, better there than nowhere. All avocations for ob- taining a livelihood are necessarily interlinked in a civilized community, and the remuneration for labor, intellectual as well as merely physical, should be justly apportioned as nearly as may be, to the actual and necessary demands upon such avocations. Matters of detail will always accommodate themselves to the general rule, or in other words, " take care of themselves." It is a law of business, that the margin of profit decreases in proportion as the remuneration becomes certain. The merchant embarks his capital and takes the risk of its loss ; he has a right to expect a larger profit than the professional man or teacher, because he takes the greater risk. It is no advantage to teachers in the end, that their salaries should be so high as to tend to the impoverishment of the community, that is to pay them ; but they should always be as well paid as the community can afford. Never- theless, the good teacher will be apt to realize that his own pecuniary interest is, in a great measure, identical with the pecuniary ability of his paymaster.

84

This action, by the Committee, of reducing the salaries, was taken upon mature deliberation and under a solemn sense of duty, and in view of the capabilities and fidelity ex- hibited on the part of all the teachers, nothing but such sense of duty, under all the circumstances, could have induced the Committee to make this reduction. In this connection, David A. Wells of Connecticut, who possesses one of the keenest minds that have undertaken to deal with the subject of finance, in the course of his lecture on the " Causes and remedies of the present financial and industrial depression," delivered before the Lowell Institute, December 6, 1876, says, " there has got to be a complete and radical change in the entire fiscal policy of this nation, acceded to either volun- tarily and intelligently, or forced upon us through further hard and costly experiences. First and present there has got to be a great and speedy reduction in all public expendi- tures — Federal, State and Municipal. The public hand can no longer with safety take, through direct or indirect taxa- tion, from the private pocket so large a proportion of individ- ual earnings, as for the last ten years it has done, and even now continues to do ; and the individual can no longer with safety to himself counsel or encourage the nation as a whole or as communities, to undertake to carry out in a few years all the improvements which other and older nations' have taken generations to effect."

From the year 1865, the close of the war, to 1872, the country appeared to be in a very prosperous condition. Peo- ple grew rich for the time on inflated value. In 1872, the ebb tide of our misfortunes came on, being accelerated by great disasters, and especially, in this part of the country, by the great Boston fire, which occurred November 9th, of that year. Depression in value then set in and has con- tinued until property, which before constituted the wealth of the owner, has shrunk away to such a degree as to fender him poor in proportion to the amount possessed by him ; but neither the mortgages or taxes shrank or abated a tittle, but on the other hand, grew larger and more burdensome. The

85

above are some of the more potent reasons which actuated the Committee in making the reduction referred to in this report.

STATISTICAL.

In the first year of our corporate existence as a town, viz., 1868, the Committee fixed the pay of the female teachers at $400 for the Primary, and $500 for the Intermediate, and that of the Masters of the Readville and Central $1200 to $1500, per annum. In the same year, the Committee voted that the salaries of the teachers of the Primary and Intermediate schools be the same, to wit. : $400 for the first, #450 for the second, and $500 for the third year.

In 1870, the salaries of the Grammar Masters were fixed at $1200 per year.

In 1 87 1, $100 per annum, were added to the salaries of the female teachers, making them $500, $550 and $600 per an- num. At the same time, the salaries of the Masters were again fixed at $1200, $1300 and $1400 per annum.

In 1872, this was increased by $200, making their salaries $1600 per annum.

In 1875, the salaries of the Masters were again changed, and fixed at $1000 for the first, $1 100 for the second and $1200 for the third year of service ; and the salaries of the female teachers were at the same time reduced ten per cent., leaving them at $450, $495 and $540 per annum.

The salaries of the teachers of the High School during the several years past, have ranged as follows : In 1871, that of the Principal was $1700, increased in 1872 to $1900 per annum ; that of the assistant, in 1871, was fixed at $700, and of the second assistant, in 1872, at $600 per annum, in- creased, in 1873, to $750 and $650 per annum. In 1875, the salaries were reduced to $1600 for the Principal, and $675, each, for the two assistants.

The sums expended for music in the schools in the year 1868 was $67.47; in 1869, $200 ; increased in 1872 to $1000

86

and further increased, in 1873, to $1100 ; reduced in 1875 to #630, and in 1876 to $250. ,

During the present school year the salaries were reduced and fixed viz.: For the female teachers in the Grammar Schools at $400 for the first, $425 for the second and $450 for the third and subsequent years of service. That of the Principal of High School, at $1500 ; the two assistants, $600 for the first and $500 for the second assistants. The salaries of the Masters were allowed to remain as fixed in 1875, the Committee believing that it would be doing a decided in- justice to make any further reduction in their pay, taking into consideration the character and ability of those teachers and the expense of living.

When the town was incorporated, in 1868, there were eleven schools within what are the prescribed limits of the town, four in the territory formerly of Dedham, five in that of Dorchester, and four in that of Milton. The first School Committee of the town were elected May 1, 1868, and organized the next day. The current expenses of the schools, number of school children, average attendance and average cost per scholar, from year to year, from that time to the present, are given in tables to follow :

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Serious mistakes have been made in the erection and loca- tion of our school buildings, entailing a great expense in maintaining our schools which otherwise would have been unnecessary. The Damon was built in 1870; the Grew and Blake in 1871, and the Greenwood in 1872, at a total cost, exclusive of furniture, &c, of about $125,000. These build- ings are capable of accommodating about 2000 scholars. The High School building is not included in the above state- ment. There are still unoccupied in all these buildings eleven rooms capable of seating six hundred pupils. It would have been wiser to have built better and less exten- sive buildings. The Greenwood building poorly accommo-

87

dates a large part of its patrons from its out of the way loca- tion.

HEATING.

Great difficulty has been experienced in heating the build- ings during the cold weather, and especially has this been true of the Damon and Greenwood Districts, thereby caus- ing the town great expense for fuel and heating apparatus. The expense of repairing and replacing heating apparatus in these two buildings the past year has exceeded the sum of $500, owing principally to the necessity of keeping up strong fires, and even running the furnaces to the full extent has not produced a sufficient amount of heat for the health of teachers and scholars, in consequence of which, frequent dismissals in the coldest of the weather have occurred.

REPAIRS.

The buildings on the High School grounds were found to be fast deterioating in value, never having been painted since their construction. Proposals for painting them were invited and received by the Committee. The contract was awarded to Smith & Son, of Hyde Park, for $197, all labor and ma- terials, of best quality, to be furnished by them, and was per- formed to the satisfaction of the Committee. The expendi- ture was wise and economical.

This, together with the extraordinary expense of heating apparatus above referred to and bills laid over from previous and paid the current year, will account satisfactorily, as we hope, to the town, for the excess of expenditure over the ap- propriations for school incidentals.

GRADED SYSTEM. N

It was strongly urged upon the Committee to abolish the present graded system and establish a different one, so as to enlarge the schools and dispense with teachers, thus making

a saving of their salaries ; but the Committee could not see their way clear to make radical changes of this nature. The breaking up the gradations and promotions would be likely to effect an injury, for which the saving of expense could not compensate.

REGULATIONS AND COURSE OF STUDY.

These have been modified and, as the Committee believe, better adapted for the use of the schools. The essential elements of the old are retained in the new regulations and course of study. The modification consists principally in eliminating a great quantity of redundant and superfluous matter in the " Direction," and in a more simplified form of arrangement of the studies to be pursued.

A more radical change has been made in the High School course, both in matter and arrangement, the aim of the Com- mittee, throughout, being to place, at the disposal of the pupil in the simplest manner, the means of acquiescing and fixing in the mind fundamental principles of knowledge which, after leaving the school of instruction, will serve as an unerring guide in the acquirement of a liberal and useful education.

The present is an age eminently utilitarian and may aptly be styled the " Iron Age." Although the heart should never be neglected, yet the head should receive a fair proportion of training and discipline. The aim of our public schools should be, by all means, to make our children useful to themselves and capable of making their own way in the world, as well as ornamental in society.

TRUANCY.

i This is a subject upon which there has been much and fre- quent legislation by the General Court of this Common- wealth. The State law makes it obligatory upon cities and towns to enact by-laws concerning habitual truants, children not attending school and growing up in ignorance, with pen-

89

alties, under certain limits, for the violation thereof. Hyde Park has not complied with this requirement, and there is no law authorizing the arrest or punishment of this class of children. The State statutes are so numerous and confusing as to afford a reasonable excuse for not having complied with this law ; but after a careful examination of these statutes, the Committee are of the opinion that the town has power to enact by-laws with penalties, on conviction, of fine not exceeding twenty dollars or committal to such Teforma- tory institution as the town in such by-laws shall assign. The statutes also provide that the town may assign, for that purpose, any institution provided therefor by the County Commissioners, or with the assent of the Board of State Charities, the State Primary School at Monson, and the County Commissioners are obliged to provide a place on united request of three towns of the county, for the confine- ment and instruction of such children. The County Com- missioners have never provided any place for the confinement of such children. It is not practicable for Hyde Park to unite with two other towns, if indeed that can be done, which is very doubtful. The Committee have requested the Board of State Charities for leave to assign the school at Monson, but this has been refused. They have also made a like request of the authorities in control of other institutions of the kind, but have been refused in every case. It is evident that the town cannot comply with this portion of the statute because there is nothing which it can assign for the purpose men- tioned in the statute ; but the Committee are of the opinion that the power to fine, provided by the general statutes, has not been taken away from the towns by any subsequent legis- lation. They have accordingly prepared a code of by-laws upon this subject, which, they believe, will serve the purpose intended thereby, and they recommend them for adoption by the town at the earliest practicable moment.

MUSIC.

The usefulness of this branch of education is established, and the only question before the Committee, the present year, was whether a teacher should be employed specially for the purpose. It was believed, that to employ the whole time of a teacher in that department would involve too heavy an expenditure of money than the need would warrant. The town has always employed a music teacher, more or less, in every year since its organization. An arrangement was made with Mr. H. J. Whittemore, of this town, who has had charge of this branch for the past five years, to devote one day in each week, in the schools, during the year for the sum of $250. This arrangement Mr. Whittemore has faithfully carried out, not only giving the time agreed upon, but one- half day each week, additional, which seemed to be requisite to do justice to all of the schools.

The usefulness of vocal music has never been overrated. In no degree does it interfere with the regular studies in the schools. On the contrary, the schools are better for it. It is a healthful exercise, produces cheerfulness, and invigorates and stimulates to activity. It brings lustre to the eye and cheerfulness to the heart.

EVENING SCHOOLS.

Evening schools were established, by a vote of the town, in 1874, the sum of $225 being expended therefor during that year. The expenditure for this purpose was increased in 1875 to $406, and the present year it has amounted to $396,63. Two schools were opened in October last and closed in Janu- ary the present year, one in the Grew and the other in the Damon School buildings, being kept thirteen weeks, five evenings in a week, and attended by 102 different scholars, 21 being the average attendance. About three-fifths of the number attending were males, and two-fifths females, varying

91

in ages from twelve to twenty-six years. The branches taught are reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic and algebra. The schools are open to all persons except those under the age of twelve years, and those attending day schools, and the pupils are required to supply themselves with necessary books.

CLEANLINESS.

Rule 14 of the School Regulations provides that every pupil shall be cleanly in person and dress, with clothes prop- erly repaired. The Committee urge upon parents the impor- tance of the observance of this rule, and enjoin a strict care in relation thereto, on the part of the teachers, that it be complied with. The observance of this rule will cost the parent nothing except a little extra exertion, which will am- ply repay the expenditure. Children of poor parents are not expected to be richly dressed ; but it is expected and insisted upon, that they shall be clean and supplied with a sufficient amount of clothing to protect them from the weather, while attending school.]
