SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Fellow Citizens :—
Among the last official acts devolving* upon your execu-
tive officers, is their report of the manner in which the
business of the town has been conducted during the past
year, with the present condition of the various departments
of the town. We herewith present you the reports of the
heads of those departments, inviting your careful consider-
ation of the same.
HIGHWAYS.
Before the appropriations were voted, the surveyors
of highways personally inspected every street in town,
making careful estimates, and recommended a somewhat
larger appropriation for highways than you saw fit to grant.
Owing to the small amount of money expended by our
immediate predecessors, the streets were not in as good
condition at the beginning of the present financial year as
they have been, heretofore consequently more money was
required. The funds at our command have been expended
where, in our judgment, it was most needed. Hyde Park
avenue, considering the large amount of travel it receives,
was found in better condition than expected, with the
exception of that part near Clarendon Hills, which required
one hundred loads of stone and between three and four hun-
dred loads of gravel, grading it up from two to four feet ;
it is now solid and permanent.
River street, taking the heaviest travel of all our streets, is
entitled to and should receive the best gravel dressing to be
had — unfortunately there is none accessible in that part of
the town — and our highway appropriation being so limited,
we did not feel warranted in taking gravel from the pit, the
long distance we would be obliged to cart it making it very
expensive. We therefore gave it a heavy dressing of coal
ashes from the paper mill to the Boston line • this, however,
proved very unsatisfactory, and we recommend that in
6
future nothing but the best gravel be placed on that street.
Much complaint having been made of the mud at corner
of Central avenue and West street, also West and Elm street,
iron pipe was laid across the avenue and street graded up
over it, since which time we have had no trouble. One
gutter in Everett square has been paved for a distance of
one hundred and sixty feet. Central Park avenue, near
Glover & Willcomb's, has long been in bad condition, par-
ticularly in the spring. This has been remedied, and it
now compares favorably with other streets in town. Charles
street having been neglected since its acceptance, received
attention, the easterly end being put in thorough repair.
Milton street has been gravelled nearly its entire length,
and a culvert built near estate of D. L. Davis, Esq. River
street near the Declham line has been gravelled, but nothing
of consequence done upon it in or near Everett Square, or
from the square to the paper mill. It should receive a good
coat of gravel the coming spring. The streets on Fair-
mount avenue are in fair condition, more or less work hav-
ing been done on most of them. Water street received a
good gravelling, of which it was much in need. Williams,
Dana, and ISeponset avenues received some attention ; the
glitter on Williams avenue being paved from the Blake
School to where it empties into the culvert, a distance of
some two hundred and fifty feet. Summit street was in
bad condition. This has been made good, and the gutter
paved from Mount Pleasant street to Williams avenue. A
culvert has been rebuilt on Beacon street, corner Milton
avenue. More or less work has been done on streets in
different sections of the town not enumerated above.
Our streets have in the past been favorably noticed by
strangers, and in order to keep them up to a high standard
more money must be expended than has been thought neces-
sary the past two years, as, with the revival of business,
they will be more used, and consequently more worn. The
present open winter is very hard upon them, and they are
badly rutted in many places.
The great difficulty in most parts of the town is the lack
of good gravel. Our only dependence has been the pit
near West street, and it is very expensive carting from this
to the extremes of the town, so much so that we considered
it economy to buy gravel instead of teaming from the pit.
At the beginning of the year this pit was so choked with
stone that it was necessary to employ a large force to re-
move them in order to get at the gravel. This alone cost
nearly two hundred dollars. The supply of gravel from
this source is very limited, considering the prospective
wants of the town ; and in this connection we would call
your attention to. the report of Committee on Happy Valley
property hereto annexed. From that report you will ob-
serve that the town purchased the estate after much delibera-
tion and many futile attempts to collect its|claim for taxes.
The Selectmen had the hill on the premises examined, and
found that it contained practically an inexhaustable supply
of gravel suitable for streets. This decided them to buy it,
and in so doing have been charged with establishing a bad
precedent. In answer to this, they have^only to say that
a town officer lacking the moral courage to perform an act
of vital importance to the town through fear of establishing
a precedent, is no more fit to hold office than he who would
use such a precedent to the town's disadvantage. "We trust
the purchase of this estate will meet your approval. We
would call your attention to the fact that the amount of pur-
chase money, twelve hundred dollars, was taken from the
appropriation for incidentals, thus reducing the balance of
the appropriation that amount.
The report cited above follows : —
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
Appointed Dec. 21. 1878, "with full powers to arrange and adjust
the amount to be paid to the town by Cyrus Brewer, trustee, or
those for whom he acted as trustee in taking a mortgage of
land at Happy Valley, (so called,) and thereupon to convey to
him or them the interest of the town in said land."
The Committee found the interest of the town in the above es-
tate to be $2191.28, of which sum $207.19 represented the taxes
for 1877 and '78, with accrued interest thereon ; the remainder,
$1984.09, represented the taxes of the years '72, '73, '74, '75, and
'76, ($1,235.02,) with accrued interest and costs, ($749,07,) and
was secured by five tax deeds, (aggregating $1,462.61,) — one for
each of the said years. An examination of these deeds satisfied
the Committee that the three oldest ones, representing the amount
of $1,516.14, were absolutely valueless from errors connected
with the sales as well as the defects in the deeds themselves ; they
however submitted the questions involved to John P. Healey,
City Solicitor of Boston, by whom the conclusions already reached
by the Committee were fully endorsed and sustained. This re-
duced the actual value of the town's claim to $467.95, exclusive
of the taxes lor '77 and '78, with which the Committee had noth-
ing to do. It is true that the taxes for the years represented by
the worthless deeds inight be re-levied ; but in that event all the
accrued interest and costs, ammounting to $611.12, would be lost,
and all just claims of excessive valuation fur those years would
be in order ; and it was claimed, not without reason, that the for-
mer valuation was excessive.
In the mean time the Committee had been constantly in nego-
tiation, and frequently in consultation with Asaph Churchill Esq.,
who represented the several parties interested in the Happy Valley
estate, and who was not ignorant of the faulty nature of a large
part of the town's claim ; by whom, at length, the sum of $800
was offered in full settlement of all the claims of the town. This
was agreed to by the Committee, and they congratulated them-
selves on so favorable an adjustment. But payment of said sum
was, for one reason and another postponed from time to time, until
at last it became necessary to close up the tax for 1877 by sale,
which was done, and the deed taken by the town.
After this it seemed probable that the only course left to the
town would be to take possession under its deeds, good and bad,
and await the suit which would follow. But at this juncture the
Selectmen became convinced of the value of the. propertj- to the
town as a gravel deposit, and, with the full concurrence of the
Committee, negogiated and effected a purchase of the same, in
which the sum of 1800 above agreed on, went in as part of the
purchase mone}7.
The title thus acquired by the town, merged in itself all the
other claims of the town on the propert}7, and, by thus removing
the subject-matter on which they were appointed to act, relieved
the Committee from further service.
Respectfully submitted.

BPwIDGES.
The several bridges in town have received attention. Cen-
tral Avenue bridge has been slightly repaired, as has
River Street bridge near the Cotton Mill. This bridge
ought to be entirely rebuilt next year. Bridge Street bridge
received necessary repairs ; it will have to be rebuilt at an
early day. Fairmouht Avenue Bridge has been newly
9
planked, and is in fair condition. The bridge at Clarendon
Hills has been replanked, and will need no more repairs for
some time.
SIDEWALKS.
These are not in as good condition as they should be, not
having received the attention they deserve, and are not
a credit to the town. We would respectfully recommend
that an appropriation be made each year for their exclusive
benefit.
STREET LIGHTS.
A contract was made with the Dedham & Hyde Park
Gas Co. to light our streets during the year, in which they
agreed to connect all lamps on the line of their mains, num-
bering about seventy, and light them with gas, using burn-
ers consuming not less than four cubic feet per hour. The
balance (eighty) to be lighted with gas generated from naph-
tha. The consideration was $1,900 per year, $400 less than
was paid last year for all naphtha. The first part of the
season the gas was unsatisfactory, for which discounts were
claimed and allowed. That being remedied, our attention
was given to the naphtha lamps, which were in a less satis-
factory condition than the gas. Claims were made and al-
lowed, but no improvement made in the light. Finally a
communication notifying the contractors that unless better
lights were furnished the contract would be annulled com-
mandecl attention, and but few complaints have since been
made ; yet the naphtha lights have not been what we had a
right to expect. Iron lamp posts have been substituted for
wooden ones between the depots, and allow us to suggest
that m the future none but iron be used. During the year
twelve new lamps have been put up by the citizens at pri-
vate expense, making- the total number at present 162.
■ STREET SIGNS.
These have not received the attention desired, the limited
amount of the appropiation for highways not permitting.
They are very much out of repair, the names on some being
entirely obliterated, and on many others very indistinct.
They should all be repainted where whole, and worthless
ones replaced by new. On Unaccepted streets we have put
up about eighty signs, "Private Way — Dangerous Pass-
ing" thus relieving the town of liability in case of accident
on those streets.
10
TAX DEEDS.
A committee was appointed by the town, April 7, 1879,
" with full powers to arrange, adjust and compromise any
and all doubtful or disputed tax titles held by the town, and
to execute and deliver all necessary deeds and releases."
That Committee has received propositions for the compro-
mise of tax deeds having a nominal value of $785.43, and in
view of their defective character, have settled the same very
advantageously to the town, a discount of $100.45 being al-
lowed on the face value.
The town now holds tax deeds to the amount of $1,044.14,
of which $809.45 has been acquired the present year, and is
considered unquestionably good. At our suggestion the
Town Treasurer has prepared a report showing our past
and present tax deed interests, to which the citizens are
referred for future information.
TOWN HALL BUILDING.
Very many of our citizens have been opposed to any effort
to lift this building from its obscurity, and place it on an
equal footing with other halls in town ; consequently the
present executive officers found it in bad condition and in ill
favor. They at once set about removing the difficulty.
The hall was thoroughly cleaned and painted, walls tinted,
&c, a reflector placed over the stage, and an elegant twelve-
light chandelier hung in the centre of the hall in place of
the old gas fixture, which was neither useful nor ornamental.
The ante-rooms were entirely remodeled, and several minor
improvements made. Subsequently you instructed the Se-
lectmen to procure new settees, and in accordance with those
instructions eighty settees of Morse's patent have been
bought, giving the hall a seating capacity of five hundred
and forty. And in this connection we desire to make an
explanation of the items, — $27 for chairs, and $85.81 for
shades. After the appropriation for settees was voted, we
found that we could buy them at a less price than was at
first given us, and as chairs and shades were needed, we
decided to pay for them from the unexpended balance of this
appropriation, rather than have it go into the sinking fund,
particularly as the chairs were practically a part of the seats
contemplated and the shades a necessary part of the hall
equipment. We trust this action will meet your approval.
Very recently the stage has been widened three feet, and
11
window shades put up. The expense of the improvements
lias been paid from the receipts of the hall, except as before
stated. At the commencement of the present financial year,
the Selectmen requested the Treasurer to open an account
with the Town Hall Building. They also placed the hall in
the charge of Mr. Joel F. Goodwin, under whose efficient
management it has been better patronized than ever before.
The expense of alterations and repairs has been large, and
therefore the account shows a very small balance covered
into the treasury ; but in its present good condition the town
stiould receive a fair income from it the ensuing year, and,
with the amount saved by occupying the lower floor for town
offices, the building will yield a fair interest on its value.

TOWN OFFICES.
By vote of the town, October 1st, 1879, the Selectmen
were authorized to fit up rooms in Town Hall building for
town offices. This they have done in a manner which they
trust will merit your approbation. The work has been done
in a thorough manner under the personal supervision of the
Selectmen, without any attempt at show, but with the sole
aim to have them convenient, pleasant and comfortable. A
fire proof vault has been built, 6x8 feet inside and 7 feet
high ; commencing in the cellar 12 inch walls were carried
to first floor, with an iron door to entrance from cellar ; the
first floor was covered with railroad iron and brick on top to
a depth of 12 inches, then a tier of brick laid on edge in
cement to form floor of vault. Walls above first floor are
eight inch brick, an air space of two inches, then a second
wall of eight inches, plastered on each side of air space.
The top is covered in same manner as first floor, with
an air space on top, same as in side wall ; above air
space is a second covering of railroad iron with brick above
to a depth of 12 inches. It is plastered two coats inside
and out. In its construction practical safe builders were
consulted, and we received the benefit of their experience.
From one firm we procured two double iron doors, with
steel lining and combination lock, in exchange for three old
safes owned by the town. These doors open from Treas-
12
urer's room, and are easily accessible from Town Clerk;
and Assessors' rooms. The Treasurer's safe has been placed
in the vault, and the space above and on either side fitted
with cases for the use of the several departments. This
vault is believed to be absolutely fire-proof and supplies a
long felt want, as there is ample room for the storage of
books, plans and other valuable papers which are constantly
accumulating, and in case of loss could not be replaced.
The plan of the rooms was the result of much care and
thought and we think will be found well adapted to their
intended use. They have been thoroughly repaired and
painted, walls tinted and shades put up.
Most of you are aware that in alterations of this kind
there are many things to be done that are not thought of in
the original estimate but are developed as the work pro-
gresses, one alteration suggesting another. This has proved
to be no exception as a great deal has been done which Avas
not contemplated. The vacant land on westerly side of
building has been graded and loam put on. The cellar
windows bricked up on the outside to prevent the earth from
rotting the woodwork ; a fence built across passage-way ;
coal-bin built, etc., etc. Some of the ceilings had to be
partty taken clown and all newly skimmed ; a water closet'
put in for use of town officers and others using the rooms ;
the force-pump in cellar repaired in order to supply water
for this and one in ante-room to main hall as well as for
steam boiler. The officers have moved into their several
rooms, and express themselves as well pleased with their new
quarters, and we think they will prove to be the most attrac-
tive as well as the most convenient rooms the town has
ever occupied.
STEAM HEATING.
By vote of the town, December 23d, 1879, the Selectmen
were instructed to procure steam heating apparatus for Town
Hall building. After receiving many proposals, we con-
tracted with Andrew G. Paul of Boston, for all material and
labor except setting boiler. This is of about seventeen horse-
power, warranted and insured for one year, and is connected
with all the offices, and corridor leading to the same, store
occupied by Mr. Miles, main hall and anterooms, also
Masonic Hall and ante-rooms. In the whole building there
are twenty radiators and one coil, making a total radiating
13
surface of 1044 square feet. At the present time of writing
the work has not been accepted and we therefore omit any
details.
Permit us to congratulate you upon now being the owners
of a Town Hall building complete in all its arrangements,
admirably adapted to all the requirements of the town, con-
taining all needed improvements, easy of access, commod-
ious and attractive. The Hall is now, without question, the
most convenient of any in town for entertainments and
exhibitions. It is your property — will you give it your
patronage ?
BOARD OF HEALTH.
There have been no important duties required of this
Board during the past year as the town has been entirely
free from epidemics, their attention having been called to a
few simple cases of nuisances which have been easily dis-
posed of.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
We have nothing to add to the report of the Board of
Engineers except to corroborate their statement as to the
present efficient condition of the Department.
LICENSE.
It was well known previous to the election of the present
town officers, that a majority of the Board of Selectmen
were in favor of granting licenses for the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, contrary to what appears to be the sentiment of
the town; but honest in their convictions, they were gov-
erned by them, and the several applications were granted.
Early in March the Chief of Police reported twenty-seven
places where intoxicating liquors were being sold, as they
had been for a year past. Most of these were doing this
in direct violation of law, without let or hindrance.. Their
business was open and independent, and sales made at any
time, day or night, Sunday not excepted, and it mattered
not whether the purchaser was man, woman or child, drunk
or sober. This was the exact condition of the liquor busi-
ness when we came into office. These places were visited
by us, and the proprietors informed that they must either
close their places, procure a license, or suffer the conse-
quences. This summons was promptly heeded, with one
■exception. This place was closed, the proprietor leaving
town before his arrest could be effected.. Applications for
14
license were mad'e and granted, and the applicants informed
of the nature of the contract they were asssuming. They
were required to give satisfactory bonds to your treasurer
for the fulfilment of their contract.
The Treasurer was requested to accept no bonds except
such as were perfectly responsible, and from his well-known
careful business habits we were confident of their being ad-
equate. All parties were notified that any known violation
of the conditions of their license would rec eive the extreme
penalty of the law. With scarcely an ex eeption the busi-
ness has been conducted in an orderly and quiet manner,
with rarely a complaint from any source. A drunken per-
son on our streets has seldom been seen, and in almost every
instance of arrest for drunkenness it appeared from the
evidence given at the trial that the liquor was not purchased
in our town, In two instances only have parties been known
to sell without license. They were promptly arrested and
their places closed. During the year thirteen places have
been selling under a license against twenty-seven places
indiscriminately the year, previous.
In conclusion permit us to say that while having no
sympathy with or desire to encourage the traffic in intoxi-
cating liquors, our judgment compels us to believe Prohib-
ition to be practically impossible under our National laws,
and from our observation has the appearance of favoring ancl
increasing the business as was plainly demonstrated in 1878.
This subject received from us all the time and attention
we could possibly give it, and from the knowledge thus,
obtained, together with that obtained from other sources, we
fail to understand how any unprejudiced person cans but
believe a license law, uneter which the traffic m controlled;
and all violations thereof visited with severe penalties, is not
the most direct, if not the only source of protection from the
evils of intemperance.
Respectfully submitted.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
Engineer's Office, H. P. F. Department,
Hyde Park, Feb. 1, 1880.
To. the Honorable Board of Selectmen: —
Gentlemen : — It is with much satisfaction that we lay
before you this, our annual, report for the year 1879.
At the beginning of the year the town passed a vote,
whereby they voted to raise the pay of the members of this
department to forty-five ($45) dollars per annum. It
became very evident to us that we should be obliged to do
something to keep within the amount of the appropriation ;
therefore we have reorganized the department, by reducing
the number of members from sixty-three (63) to forty-five
(45.) In order to do so we were obliged to disband one
company, — viz., the Splicer Hose Company, — and- have
given each steamer company its own line of hose to handle.
That necessitated the purchase of a new hose-carriage ;
therefore we have exchanged the two old carriages, that
were attached to each steamer, for a new one-horse hose-
carriage, by paying three hundred and fifty dollars ($350)
for the exchange.
Both steamers have been thoroughly repaired, and are
now in excellent condition. The department is in first-class
working order, and we have no doubt, should the occasion
require, but that they will give good satisfaction to all ; and
we would take this opportunity to heartily thank each and
every member of the department for their gentlemanly
conduct, and hearty co-operation in the reorganization of
the department, and also to your honorable Board for your
assistance in the same.
For the thousand dollars that the town voted to the
department, at the last town meeting, for the purchase of
hose, we have placed in the department thirteen hundred
(1,300) feet of cotton hose, warranted to stand a pressure
of four hundred (400) pounds to the square inch, which we
are satisfied will give perfect satisfaction.
We have now in the department about five thousand
(5,000) feet of hose, of which three thousand (3,000) is of
first quality, two steamers, one hook and ladder carriage,
two hose carriages, all equipped and in good repair, and
hose as above described.
We would call your attention to the fact that there are
many places in the town where water cannot be obtained
for fire purposes ; namely : — Parts of Fairmount, Sunny-
side, and Clarendon Hills district.
You will find, connected with this report, a list of fires,
alarms, etc. : also, the officers and number of men to each
company.
Very respectfully,
W. W. HILTON,
Chief Engineer.
J. W. Bean,
C. L. Farnswoeth,
Assistant Engineers.

THE EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
HYDE PARK LIBRARY BOARD.
In presenting their report for the year ending January
31st, 1880, the Trustees have endeavored to incorporate
therein only such facts and information as will be of interest
to the general public, in the hope that its perusal will lead
our fellow citizens to become interested to a greater degree
in the Library and its success.
When the Library was opened to the public, March 4th ,
1874, it contained something less than 3,000 volumes.
Additions have been made from time to time, until at
present it numbers 5,600.
During the past year, 63 books have been added to the
Library, 41 by purchase and 22 by donation.
The donations have been as follows, viz :. —
Irish Wit and Humor, by M. A. Dykes. The Hyde Park
Directory, by Prescott Robinson. A package of 12 books,
by Mrs. H. W. Bidwell. Catalogue of the Beebe Town
Library, of Wakefield, from the Library. Three periodicals
have been contributed to the Reading Room. Appleton's
Journal, by Dr. Chas. Sturtevant. The Penn Monthly, and
several numbers of The Western, by Henry Giles, Esq.
The balance of donated books consists of Public Documents,
from the State House. The Norfolk County Gazette and
the Dedham Transcript have been furnished gratuitously, as
in former years, by the publishers.
The Library has also been the recipient of a donation of
$25.00 in cash, from Mr. David Perkins ; this was expended
in the purchase of new books.
54
The number of books given out for the year was 17,231,
an average of 70 books daily, and of this number, thanks to
the fidelity of the Librarian, Mrs. H. A. B. Thompson, not a
single volume has been lost. The book reported lost in the
last annual report has since been returned, so that, for the
space of two years, not a single book has been lost, a fact
which is alike creditable to the watchfulness of the Librarian
and the care of the patrons of the Library.
One serious drawback to the highest efficiency of our
Library is the want of a proper catalogue. This fact has
been mentioned in the last three reports of the Trustees*
Since the opening of the Library, nearly 3,000 books have
been added to it, a number greater than that appearing in
the original catalogue. These books are practically beyond
the reach of most of its patrons, as they are to be found only
in manuscript supplements at the Reading Room. As most
of those who use the Library prepare their lists of numbers
at home, it will be seen that the new books are not brought
to their notice, and so far as any practical benefit they derive
from them, might as well remain on the publishers' shelves.
Whether it would not be for the best interests of all con-
cerned to appropriate the necessary amount to print a new
catalogue, is a question which the Trustees ask the Town to
seriously consider.
For the last two years the Library has been nearly crip-
pled, so far as the purchase of new books has been con-
cerned. When the Savings Bank panic occurred, the entire
Library Fund, amounting to about $4,000, was deposited in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank, and for two years no income
has been derived from that source. The ten per cent»
dividends paid by the Bank have been drawn* as fast as they
became payable, and invested in Government Bonds, until
at the present time $i,700 is thus invested, about equally
divided between the four and four and one-half per cent.
Bonds, This, at an average of four and one-qnarter per
cent., gives us an income of only $72.25 from that source,
55
which constitutes all the income available for the use of the
Board, only about enough to pay the yearly subscriptions
for the magazines and periodicals constantly on file at the
Reading Room. The balance of the Fund remaining in the
Savings Bank may, and probably will, pay an income for
the coming year, so that the prospect of our ability to secure
new books is rather better than it has been at any time dur-
ing the past two years. The Library Fund itself has suffered
a reduction of $438.27, by the scaling of the Savings Bank
deposit twelve and one-half per cent., which became neces-
sary in ordei\to avoid a greater loss. It has been the policy
of the Trustees thus far to keep the Fund at $4,000, but
owing to this unavoidable loss, we find it reduced on the 31st
day of January to $3,583.58. Allowing that this entire
amount pays an income of four per cent, the coming year,
we shall have only $143.34 to expend in increasing the
Library, while, as already stated, one-half of that amount
will be required to pay the subscription list alone. That
some means should be devised by which the Library shelves
can be kept supplied with the publications of the day to a
greater extent than is possible with our present limited
means, is apparent to both the Trustees and the public. How
it shall be done is the question.
The statement of the Treasurer of the Trustees will be
found accompanying this Report.
Another point deserving attention is the fact that with
each succeeding year the wear upon our Library is becoming
more apparent. This is particularly the case in the depart-
ments of juvenile literature and fiction. The number of
books to be rebound is constantly on the increase, and at no
distant day quite a sum must be expended to replace books
which can no longer be kept in circulation ; quite a number
of books have already been withdrawn, being so much worn
as to be unfit for further service. To the extent of their
56
ability, the Board are on the alert to overcome these diffi-
culties, but with the means at their hands, it is simply im-
possible to surmount them wholly. Like the Israelites of
old, we have not yet learned the art of making bricks with-
out straw.
Much to the regret of the Trustees, and we will say,
without fear of dispute, of the Town also, oiir beloved asso-
ciate, Theodore D. Weld, has felt called upon to resign his
membership of the Board of Trustees. For the period of
nine years, as a member first of the Library Committee ,
and afterwards of the Board of Trustees, he has been inti-
mately connected with the working of the Library. He was
the first and only chairman of our Board, and has discharged
the duties of the position with a fidelity worthy of emulation.
Since the organization of this body, on the 15th of July,
1872, up to the meeting at which his resignation was pre-
sented, he has never missed a single meeting, and by his
untiring interest in all things pertaining to the affairs of the
Library, has done more than any other person to place it in
the position it holds to-day, an honor alike to itself and the
town. To Mr. Weld, more than to any other one man, the
citizens owe the existence of their Library. It was with re-
gret that his associates accepted the resignation, which his
advancing years and a multiplicity of other cares and en-
gagements forced him to present, and we congratulate him
and the town upon the success which has attended his labors
in connection with the Hyde Park Free Public Library.
Attached to this Report will be found Mr. Weld's letter
of resignation, and the reply in behalf of the Board, by our
fellow member, Mr. Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
In closing this Report, the Trustees have to suggest that
the Town appropriate not less than $1,100 as the amount
absolutely necessary for the expenses of the Library the
coming year. The renewal of policies of insurance, which
57
expire in February, renders it necessary that we should ask
for a larger amount than we have called for the last two
years. Should it be deemed advisable to cause the catalogue,
so much needed, to be printed, a still larger amount will be
required.
In behalf of the Board of Trustees,
E. S. HATHAWAY,
Secretary.
MR. WELD'S LETTER OF RESIGNATION.
Hyde Park, January 1st, 1880.
To the Hyde Park Library Board : —
Gentlemen, — I hereby resign my chairmanship and membership
of our Library Board. Having, as its chairman for the last nine
years, attended all its monthly and other meetings, I find now that
I can do it no longer. As other responsibilities, which I cannot
lay aside, so tax my time as to leave me no alternative, I accept
the necessity and resign.
Regarding membership in the Board as a sacred trust, I cannot
retain it, unless I perform the duties it presupposes and enjoins.
Rejoicing with you in the great good already done, by our Free
Public Library, and in the assurance that, as the years go on, it
will bless more and more each generation coming aft«r us here, I
am, dear friends, in all heartiness,
Affectionately and faithfully yours,
Theodore D. Weld.
MR. COBB'S REPLY.
Hyde Park Public Library, Trustees' Room,
Feb. 2d, 1880.
Theodore D. Weld : —
Dear Sir, — At the last stated meeting of our Board, a letter
was received from you, tendering your resignation of membership
of the Board of Trustees of Hyde Park Public Library. The
earnest and emphatic manner of your communication left us no
58
alternative save that of acceptance. It was felt, however, that we
could not suffer you thus to leave us, without tendering to you, in
return, an expression of our feelings on the occasion. The emo-
tion was spontaneous and unanimous, and the writer of this was
directed to perform that fraternal duty.
He well remembers that evening, in the years now long agone,
when the first committee appointed b}r the town to consider the
matter of a " Free Public Library," held its first meeting at the
dwelling of our late lamented fellow townsman, Alanson Hawley ;
and he remembers, also, that you presented the draft of a plan of
establishment, drawn by j^our own hand, which was adopted.
And, sir, we believe we trench upon the claim of no other person
when we say that, from that time to the present, you have been
the prime mover and the guiding spirit in the establishment and
successful conducting of the beneficent work.
Dear brother, we sorrow in this parting. The vacant chair at
the head of our Board, which you have filled since our organization,
is not a pleasant object of contemplation. We can easily fill it
with a presiding officer ; but we cannot duplicate the old familiar
face, nor can we feel, ever again, that the father of our cherished
institution is in his proper place, — to guide and direct.
Nevertheless, you have well rounded out the measure of your
work, and you leave your post with the heartfelt satisfaction of
having met every need, and performed every duty, promptly and
effectively. In short, in all your relations with Hyde Park Public
Library, most emphatically have 3^011 kept the faith.
And now, permit us, in view of this severance of official rela-
tions, to extend to you our sincere love and esteem. That God
may bless you, now and evermore, is our earnest prayer.
In behalf of the Board,
Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
Committee.

REPORT OP SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
FOR SCHOOL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 3l8T, 1879.
To the Citizens of Hyde Park : —
The School Committee of this Town respectfully submit
the following as their annual report : —
ORGANIZATION OF COMMITTEES.
For conveniency and efficiency Sub-Committees were or-
ganized at the first meeting of the year, viz. : —
.: Rev. F. C. Williams, R. W. Husted, H. H. Smith, High
School; Andrew Washburn, Edmund Davis, Blake School;
Edmund Davis, H. H. Smith, Damon School; C. G. Chick,
A. Washburn, Grew School; R. W. Husted, C. G. Chick,
Greenwood School ; Rev. F. C. Williams, Everett Primary
School.
Each sub-committee has special charge of the school desig-
nated, and their reports presented herewith are founded
upon careful personal examinations.
In general, our schools have been unusually successful
during the year. Teachers have been faithful and devoted ;
pupils have made creditable progress ; parents have visited
the schools in larger numbers than during previous years.
The number of pupils in the different schools has consider-
ably increased.
We believe the schools of Hyde Park compare favorably
with those of any town in this vicinity.
It has been the policy of the Committee to make as few
changes of teachers as possible. We believe one old teacher
worth two new ones of the same capacity.
Several changes have been forced upon us by resignations
of teachers. Some have found more lucrative situations.
We are unfortunately near Boston, and are not in a situation
to compete with that city in salaries paid. Some have
entered domestic life.
In one case, with sorrow we record that death has called a
teacher, one who was a model of kindness, and gentleness,
90
and painstaking devotion, to The Teacher, whose disciple she
was. For about eleven years Miss S. S. Lancaster had taught
in this town. Her very life was given to her chosen work.
Even in her last illness she never lost her interest in her
school, nor her love for her pupils,
VOCAL MUSIC.
Last year the services of a special teacher in this depart-
ment were dispensed with. On the whole, this was a notice-
able loss, although some masters were able to do creditable
work in this department in their own schools. This year
the Committee secured the services of Mr. H. J. Whitte-
more, at a very moderate compensation, and find the good
results fully justify the expense incurred.
REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
At the commencement of the year the Committee very un-
willingly reduced somewhat the salaries of all the teachers,
as the only means to save over-running the appropriations
made by the town for school purposes.
NEW SCHOOLS.
It was expected that the increase of population, caused by
a revival of business, would make it necessary to open
another school in the Damon district. This expectation has
been realized, and in addition, the crowded state of the Grew
school forced the Committee to require a more careful ob-
servance of district lines between the Grew and Damon dis-
tricts. The remonstrances of the people against being
forced to send their children across the railroad, where there
was no legal crossing, and where fences rendered passing
almost impossible, led the Committee to add another school in
the Grew building, for the accommodation of pupils whose
residence for the most part is within the Damon limits.
It is to be hoped that a safe and convenient crossing over
the railroad will soon be established in the vicinity of the
Damon school ; and also that steps will be taken to secure a
safe fence upon both sides of the dam and bridge at the .cot-
ton mill. It is true that this is not a town way, but it is also
true that the situation is such that it will be used daily by a
large number of children, and that it should be made safe
for them.
TEMPERANCE TEXT-BOOKS .
The Committee have examined with care a number of
text-books upon Temperance, and settled upon Richardson's
Manual as the most suitable for introduction into the schools.
This book was then submitted to Dr. I. EL Bowditch for his
examination. The Dr. reported strongly in favor of
Dr. Richardson's general scientific accuracy, but claimed
that certain statements in the book were somewhat over-
drawn, and others given as settled where scientists are still
in doubt. A part of the Committee favored putting the
book into the hands of the pupils for class recitations ; but
the vote finally prevailed to adopt Richardson's Manual as a
text-book to be placed in the hands of the teachers for use
in oral lessons upon temperance.
PUNISHMENTS.
Recent events have called attention of parents and others
to the modes of corporal punishment allowed in the public
schools. The following extract is from the *' Rules and
Regulations" furnished each teacher, for guidance in this
important matter, and all are required to follow the rule,
both in letter and spirit ; —
xxxh. " All teachers shall aim at such discipline in their
schools as would be exercised by a kind, judicious parent in
his family, avoiding corporal punishment in all cases where
good order can be preserved by milder measures. Corporal
punishment shall be inflicted only after the nature of the of-
fence has been fully explained to the scholar; and shall be
restricted to blows on the hand with a rattan ; but if any
pupil refuses to submit to this, some other proper punish-
ment may be used."
AMUSEMENTS.
It is a great pity that our play grounds are so small, and
a greater pity that they are in such bad condition. Some of
them are so covered with loose, sharp stones that any child
who falls down is almost certain to be cut or badly scratched.
The wear and tear of shoes must be something fearful.
What shall be done ? The incidental appropriation is not
sufficient to remedy the difficulty, and we see no way with-
out a special appropriation for grading the school yards and
covering them with fine, binding gravel.
92
A good chance for a run or for a game of ball is probably
the best gymnasium for a public school. It is much safer
for a large number of children than the machines and appli-
ances of the ordinary gymnasium. Another point in favor
of a good play ground is that where apparatus is used, two
or three only, who chance to be expert, exercise, and the
rest stand still and look on.
VACCINATION.
The utility of vaccination has of late been questioned in
some quarters. Our laws require it as a pre-requisite of ad-
mission to the public schools, and it has been a matter of
considerable interest to ascertain whether the opposition to
it was well founded. If vaccination does not protect from
disease, but rather entails frightful ills upon its victims, the
fact ought to be known.
The report of Dr. James B. Taylor, Inspector of Vaccina-
tion, city of New York, seems to answer satisfactorily and
authoritatively all suspicions and anxiety. This report
covers careful aucl systematic observation of 126,000 cases of
vaccination, and fully establishes the following points ; —
1. That in no easy is disease of any kind transmitted
when proper care is exercised in selecting vaccine matter.
2. That vaccination is absolute protection against .small-
pox when the primary vaccine vessicle is of proper size and
character, and has run its proper and normal course, and
also when re-vaccination is performed at proper intervals,
viz., within five years after the primary, and again soon after
puberty in those who are vaccinated in infancy ; and at least
one vaccination in those whose first vaccination was after
maturity.
THOEOUGHNESS.
We feel that the pupils of our schools pass through them
and go out into the world knowing a little, and but a little,
of a large number of branches of study. How can we ex-
cuse our present extended course of study, and the compar-
atively little time devoted to each branch?
Scholars, that is, learned men, are not made in schools of
any grade. 'What school taught Erricson mechanics, or
Agassiz geology, or Edison electricity? Real men are
always self-made. What, then, ought the school to accom-
plish ? Principally this : reveal the pupil to himself, show
93
him his possibilities, give him such a general view of the
world's knowledge that he may ascertain his own aptitudes
and tastes, and in what line his success lies, and stimulate
him to effort in that direction. And, so, we must look for
thoroughness, not so much in the schools, as in the results of
personal individual labor in some direction hinted at, or
pointed out, in the school course.
GROWTH.
In a conversation with a famous breeder of horses, some
time ago, the writer was struck with some opinions ex-
pressed, and especially with the zeal and positiveness with
which he urged them. Said he : " Do everything for the
first three years to make the colt grow; give him the best
care and the best food, and let him exercise freely, but
without special restraint ; give him a chance to make the
most of himself, and help him to do so, before you require
service or begin to train him, and the chances are you will
have something worth training when the right time comes."
This man spoke the truth, and it is equally true that one-
half the annoyance and disappointment in school work comes
from requiring service too early. We pick unripe fruit and
complain that it is not sweet, and then in our disappointment
wre branch-prune and root-prune the tree until the chances
are that both the tree and its fruit are permanently injured.
Growth is the first duty of childhood, and education ought
not to interfere with it. But it does, especially where our
school system is supposed to be most perfectly carried out.
The " infant phenomenon " is quite common in the city ; but
pupils of eighteen years of age, in the country, stand head
and shoulders above city pupils of that age, and the differ-
ence increases with increasing years. The city system pro-
duces early precocity and middle-aged mediocrity, and
injures most the fine, but delicate, organizations that need
only strength, to be of some real and positive value to the
race.
Already the forcing 'system of education tells against us
in our popular characteristics. To outsiders we appear
more sectarian than religious. In learning, we are finical.
In polities, we are quibblers and impractical. In general, we
are sharp rather than strong, keen rather than broad. We
need more stock, even if at some expense of polish.
Our children go to school at too early an age ;■ they are
confined too long in the school room, and mind and body-
alike suffer.
The following, from the medical authority of the State-
Board of Education, is in point, and' its recommendations
contrast strongly with the hours required in this and sur-
rounding towns : " Below the age of 12 years, 4 hours are:
probably sufficient ; below 10 years, 3 or 3 1-2 ; below 7'
year&, 2 1-2 or S. In regard to children under 10 years of
age, my opinion is. strongly in favor of this restriction..
The arrangement by which these young pupils are kept in
school the same number of hours as those of the age of 17 is
absurd from every point of view, except one. That one is,,
however, the one taken by a majority of parents, who con-
sider that they pay to have their children taken- out of their-
way for a given number of hours, and are annoyed by their
presence at home. Every attempt to cut down, the hours of*
attendance for yamig children will be met by prejudices;
based upon this belief."
We must do something' in New England to build up our
boys and girls into stronger men and women. The men of
the West already out-average us some inches in height, and
are also getting a reputation for broader mental powers, as
well as stronger arms and. tougher sinews. More and more
we must look to the schools to counteract the defects in
parents. Children belong to the public more than to their
parents. The public must stand ready to make the most of"
its inheritance.
On behalf of the Committee,

BLAKE SCHOOL .
Tour Committee beg leave to submit the following report
upon the Blake School for the past year. We are glad to
announce a manifest improvement in discipline and general
work over the preceding year, and to call attention to the fact,,
that, whereas in 1878 the Blake stood lowest in rank, based
95
upon the annual examination, in 1879 it stood second, and
first, averaging the annual with the bi-monthly examination
for the year.
We congratulate the several teachers, and especially Mr.
Howard, the principal, upon a result so satisfactory, and
wish it understood that the Committee fully appreciate the
skillful, patient labor which has contributed to it. We find
in the principal a teacher identified with his school, and en-
tirely devoted to its welfare, working at all times fully up to
his strength, and frequently a little beyond it, and exhibit-
ing an unusual degree of personal interest in each pupil in
his care.
In the Seventh and Eighth classes Miss Howe is a model
teacher. Her method of instruction and her discipline are
alike excellent, and the results of her work entirely satisfac-
tory.
The Ninth class has just lost, in Miss Howard, a very
popular teacher, and the place has been filled by Miss Tilton,
who gives good promise of ultimate success.
In the Tenth class Miss Eddy, who is serving her first
year, shows many sterling qualities, and already succeeds
admirably, and gives many hints of greater possibilities.
The Eleventh class is well taught and governed by Miss
Hammond, and her classes come up to the next grade better
fitted than the average. With a little more enthusiasm this
might be made a model room.
Miss Perry is as kind and patient and motherly with her
little flock as a primary teacher ought to be. She shows a
good degree of ingenuity, also, to secure progress without
weariness, and a readiness to adopt new plans and ideas,
and to seize opportunities for instruction. These are, we
think, characteristics of a good primary school teacher.
In this school a trial has been made for a part of the year
of half-day sessions, with very satisfactory results. The
little ones made better progress than when attending the
full day. The attendance was better, with less tardiness,
and the pupils evidently enjoyed the three hours spent in
the school-room.
We have introduced, with excellent success, into this
grade, a play table with blocks and splints and dissected
pictures and similar appliances. The same idea has also
been carried into the other grades, by putting in, as seemed
advisable, multiplication blocks, dissected maps, suitable
96
magazines for sight reading, etc. We wish the means at
our command would allow still further experiments in this
direction.

DAMON SCHOOL.
When we entered upon our first official acquaintance with
this school, we were struck by the evidence which it pre-
sented of the absence of supervision. The registers showed
that a visitor, either committee-man or parent, was a very
unusual innovation ; the startled and apprehensive look of
the scholars, suddenly taking the place of an apathetic, list-
less demeanor, when a caller entered, gave ocular proof that
they were seldom subjected to such surprises ; while the de-
lapidated appearance of the building, its manifest need of
repair, and its many defects, internal and external, all testi-
fied to the absence of those having authority to remedy these
things.
That this had caused deterioration in the schools was no
matter of surprise. The ablest teachers, the most studious
scholars, cannot do so well when they know that their work
is unnoticed. The most conscientious will relax a little
when the pressure of public observation is removed. The
spirit of emulation is weakened if no one is ever present to
make comparisons and commend excellence. Without hints
and suggestions from outside sources routine becomes fixed ;
the wheels ruu in one rut ; a desirable method, or practice,
or exercise, is by degrees dropped and lost, and an undesir-
able one is as imperceptibly substituted, and languor and
dawdling will take the place of the alert, brisk, wide-awake
deportment which we expect to see in the young, and
which is certainly requisite to a decent improvement of edu-
cational advantages.
Though they were not universal, all these appearances
were to be seen at our first visits ; now we look in vain for
them ; and though it has cost much additional effort by
teachers, much time from the Committee, and called many
dollars from the treasury, the improvement manifest will pay
97
amply for much greater sacrifices. In our opinion, no
school can boast better teachers than the Damon, or point to
better results of the year's work. We are decidedly satis-
fied Avith the progress made in knowledge and in orderly
deportment, and with the present comparative standing of
the school ; and we shall confidently expect yet greater ex-
cellence during the coming year. We know that many of
the pupils here are unfitted by home life and training to take
full advantage of the facilities provided for them; also, that
the necessity, on the part of many, of leaving school and
earning money as soon as their ages will permit, is a serious
obstacle to the attainment of the best results ; and the ex-
tent to which these disadvantages have been neutralized by
the earnest and intelligent work of the teachers is the best
proof of their fitness for their respective positions.
In repairing the defects of the building, and its appurten-
ances, we have been obliged to make considerable outlays,
but these will result in future savings. Grading about the
building has saved the foundation from further destruction ;
a very thorough painting has not only beautified the struc-
ture, but protected it from damage by the elements ; exten-
sion of the ventilators through the roof (they having been
originally built only to the attic floor,) has so modified the
currents of air through the rooms as to render them fresh
and healthy, and so much more easily and economically
heated that two furnaces now do effectively what three here-
tofore failed to accomplish ; and in many minor respects im-
provements have been made which have added greatly to the
comfort and health of the schalars and to the efficiency of
the schools. We hope that hereafter more of the parents
and friends of the pupils will visit the school, and see for
themselves the advantages given to the children, the care
and kindness bestowed on them, and the benefits which they
derive from it all.
One large item of expense of this school is the books, etc.,
furnished by the town for poor scholars. It exceeds that of
all the other schools together. In many cases, doubtless,
the parents are able to make provision, but are unwilling to
do so. In such cases, the Committee must furnish what is
wanting, or see the scholars sit idle. The only remedy
lies with the Assessors, who may assess the cost of supplies
so furnished to the father or guardian, in all cases where
they deem him able to pay for them, and the same may be
98
collected as other taxes are. We understand that this has
not been done for several years, which, if the fact be so, will
account for the constantly increasing number of those who
neglect or refuse to provide books for their children.
Taking up now the several grades in detail, we will com-
mence with the Twelfth Class, which was under the care of
Miss M. E. Clarke till the latter part of May, when she was
promoted to the vacancy made in the High School by the
retirement of Miss Lord. She had won the hearts of the
little ones while with them., and it was with great reluctance
that we consented to lose her services in this place ; but her
loss has been fully restored by her successor, Miss Alice B.
White, who still continues im charge of the school, and
whose fitness for the position is unmistakable. Under her
care the advancement of these youngest of our scholars is
marked and most gratifying. This room was so overfilled
at the beginning of the Fall term that it became necessary
to relieve it, as well as Miss Crosby's room, by opening
a n'ew school, which was done in October, this, as the
Eleventh Class was put under the charge of Miss Alice E.
Ga«'e. Miss Gage had previous experience as a teacher,
and, as her testimonials showed, a favorable one. The
examination which she passed here was excellent ; conse-
quently, in selecting her for this place, the Committee did
so with high anticipations. It is enough to say that these
have been fully realized. Her class is in fine condition, and
its discipline and progress all that could be expected.
The Tenth Class has had the benefit during the whole
year of the experience and care of Miss S. A. Crosby, who
has in past years, in the same place, demonstrated her
capacity as a teacher. The condition of the school is good,
and it has in some respects made noticeable progress.
Miss J. E. Donovan, who has been in charge of the Ninth
Class, is one of the most painstaking and successful teachers
in our schools. She is fully up to the times in her methods
of instruction, is prompt, energetic and thorough; and her
earnest efforts are repaid by the interest displayed by her
pupils, and their rapid progress.
The Eighth and Seventh Classes, which are in the care of
Miss Lizzie D. Bunker, constitute, probably, the most
trying and wearisome school in the building, simply because
the scholars in them have reached the ages when they are
most trying, restless, captious and impatient of restraint.
99
Therefore, Miss Bunker has been subjected to a severe test
here. Our observations lead us to the belief that she has
put in an amount of labor and effort which, in a more favor-
able spot, would have secured golden results. As it is, they
have been by no means fruitless ; her school has made fully
average progress, and in deportment shows decided improve-
ment. It has been tilled to its utmost capacity all the time,
and during a portion of the year was over-crowded. This
led the Committee, at the beginning of the Fall term, to
draw off from the Seventh Class a number of its more prom-
ising members, and to make of them an advanced Seventh
Class, which, with the Sixth and Fifth Classes, has been
under the immediate care of the Principal, Mr. E. W. Gross.
This has, of course, largely increased Mr. Cross' labors, but
it has resulted most favorably to the scholars themselves,
and to the appearance and efficiency of the school. All these
classes are doing remarkably well, and exhibited an ac-
quaintance with the course which they have gone over, an
interest and attention while at recitation, and a diligence
when at study, which prove a conscientious, intelligent and
thorough training in the school-room. It is an especial mis-
fortune here, in this school, that many of its most promising
members are obliged to leave prematurely to engage in work ;
yet we think it will bear favorable comparison with other
schools of the same grade, here or elsewhere. Mr. Cross'
ability as a teacher is of a high order, and has been, doubt-
less, fully proven during his previous years of service in our
town. We think the past year has, however, been more to
his satisfaction, as well as that of parents and of the Com-
mittee, than any former one.

EVERETT PRIMARY.
The Everett Primary School continues to be an excellent
one, and the Committee anticipate a steady improvement in
the future, under the faithful direction of Miss M. E*
Rogers.
100
The School Is now well situated m the High School-
Building, and it has been much aided by the frequent visits-
of the parents and friends of the children.
The improvement in singing is very gratifying,
FRANCIS C.WILLIAMS,
Local Committee r-
GEEENWOOD SCHOOL.
The Committee are glad to speak in terms of commenda-
tion as to the general appearance of the various classes, and.
the results of the year's work, at this school. In penman-
ship and reading, which have received special attention,,
marked progress is apparent in all the grades. A daily drill
in physical culture has been introduced, and the importance
of a correct position and carriage of the body insisted upon
with good results. There have been but few cases of cor-
poral punishment during the year.
The school is fortunate in being under the supervision of
Mr. J. L. Curtis, a teacher who unites to training and ex-
perience those natural endowments which eminently qualify
him for the exercise of his profession, and without which no
amount of application can secure the highest success. The
Fifth and Sixth classes are under his immediate instruction*.
From the first-named a well-prepared class entered the High
School in September. By a series of carefully considered
addresses on miscellaneous topics, on Friday afternoons, an
attempt has been made to stimulate the ambition of his pupils,
and to impress upon them lessons which shall have a whole-
some influence upon their future lives. A good piano ha&
been introduced into this room in place of the inferior instru-
ment which has been long in use, and the change must have
a marked effect in the promotion of, musical culture in the
school.
The Seventh and Eighth classes are under the charge of
Miss Lucy S. Currier? a zealous and energetic teacher, who
has been connected with the school since it was first opened.
The large number of pupils in this room has demanded her
utmost care and attention, and but little opportunity has been
afforded for trying new methods. Improvement in writing,,
already alluded to, is particularly noticeable in this room.
101
Class Nine, and the upper division of class Ten, are in charge
<of Miss Harriet J. Folsom, whose earnest devotion to her
work has been attended with good results. In the study of
geography, this teacher has made use of a large tray of wet
sand, by the aid of which she has been able to impart to her
pupils tolerably correct ideas respecting the forms of land
and water, which have passed under consideration. Light
reading from various periodicals has been practised, dictation
exercises in writing given, and letter writing and short com-
positions have received attention.
Miss Mary E. Libhy, who has charge of the lower section
of the Tenth, and the entire Eleventh class, has now an en-
viable rank as a primary teacher. She possesses in a re-
markable degree those qualities which are required to fix the
attention and arouse the enthusiasm of young children- Pic-
ture cards to talk and write about have been introduced in
her room, and some very creditable compositions have been
produced, as a result.
Miss Carrie E. Walker, who had taught the Twelfth class
with great acceptance during the year, resigned her position
at its close, and her place has been tilled by Miss Adams, a
graduate of our High School, and of the State Normal School
at Salem, and whose subsequent record, as a teacher, gives
promise of excellent success.
The building of a suitable fence, and the grading of the
grounds around this school house are improvements greatly
needed; and it is hoped that the town will make an appro-
priation for these purposes at an early day.

Brainard, Leila E. Perry and Florence E. Leadbeater, As-
sistants.
The renewed business prosperity of our town has served
to add largely to the number of pupils attending this school,
1C2
the. registers now showing an increase of nearly one hundred
during the past year. This large increase has affected all
grades, and added much to the care and labor of the master,.
Mr. F. H. Dean ; hut being a systematic worker and a fine
disciplinarian, he lias the school as a whole, in fine working
order.
As the teacher of the Fifth and Sixth classes, Mr. Deans
strives for practical results and aims to instruct his pupils-
not only to know, but also to give them the reasons why
they should know, and the application of their knowledge in
the affairs of life.
The work of Miss Emerson in the Seventh class is of a
high order. The ease with which, she controls hex school
and the interest shown by her scholars in recitation call for
special mention.
Miss Dunbar, in the Eig'hth class, shows zeal in her posi-
tion, and the promptness with which this class does its work
indicates that the pupils receive careful instruction.
The Ninth class is now in charge of Miss Morey, who.
succeeded Miss Smith. Miss Morey is an active and onthus-
iastic teacher ; she brings to her position the wisdom of ex-
perience, and her school is making good progress.
The Tenth class is to be commended for interest in recita-
tion and study. The distinctness of utterance in reading
and reciting is very marked. Miss Alexander is deserving-
of much credit for her care in this respect, as well as for her
discipline.
In the Eleventh class, the utmost harmony seems to pre-
vail between teacher and scholars. Miss Brainard has the-
interest of her class at heart, and is doing good work.
Miss Perry, in the Twelfth class shows much tact in her
control of small children, and develops rare adaptation for
the work of this grade. She was elected to fill the vacancy
eaused by the death of Miss Lancaster, who for a long time-
faithfully taught this class ..
The Tenth and Eleventh classes registering about seventy
scholars each at the close of the autumn term , the full com-
mittee decided it best to open a new school for divisions of"
each of these grades. This was accomplished with small in-
cidental expense, as fortunately the town had enough unused
furniture stored at the Damon school to nearly furnish
the room in this building formerly used for an evening
school,, but until now unused for other purposes * Miss
103
Florence E. Leadbeater, of this town, has been placed in
charge of the school thus opened, and is doing satisfactory
work.
Drawing and penmanship have received much care during
the past year. Reading has been carefully taught, and the
rank of the pupils is good in all branches through the various
grades. Cleanliness of the rooms and the efforts to decorate
and render the same cheerful and attractive throughout this
building call for special notice, as steps in the right direction.
WANTS.
This building being now fully utilized and the number of
pupils steadily increasing, will render the subject of a safe
and convenient approach to the Damon School of pressing-
importance. By providing a passage across the B. & P.
Railroad at or near White's crossing, and making proper
expenditures on Readville street, many scholars who for
safety now attend the Grew would be as well or better
accommodated at the Damon School. Had these avenues of
approach to the Damon School been seasonably provided,
the opening of the new school here would have been avoided.
Another matter which demands the attention of the town
is the condition of the yard and play-grounds connected with
this school ; the surface being of coarse gravel and stones is
the cause of frequent injury to the children, and is highly
destructive to their clothing. A coating of loam or similar
substance would be a great improvement and one which
would be much appreciated by all directly interested in this
school. We ask the early attention of the town to this
matter.

HIGH SCHOOL.
The High School continues to be under the care of Mr.
John F. Elliot, who is an accurate scholar, courteous and
gentlemanly in his deportment, an excellent, faithful in-
structor, and a good disciplinarian. The school has made
one important change during the year. Miss F. E. Lord
suddenly resigned her position, as assistant teacher, to act
as substitute in a Boston Public school ; unci though this loss
caused temporary harm to the High School, yet, the commit-
tee was powerless to retain her very valuable services. Miss
M. C. Clark who held the certificate of excellent scholarship
from the Boston Board of Supervisors, and who had shown
herself particularly energetic and successful in the Damon
school, was appointed in the place left vacant by-Miss Lord,
and she is proving herself well fitted for the position. Miss
M. M. Coleman is a very efficient assistant, and her classes
show steady improvement from term to term. Thus the
Principal is ably and harmoniously sustained by the assistant
teachers. This is an important feature of the school. For,
while the Principal is the head, and is to exert his personal
influence on each pupil of every class, and is to know the
progress of every scholar in the school, yet, it is necessary
that entire sympathy and active cooperation between himself
and his assistants, in discipline and methods of study, be
maintained.
The High School has at present two hindrances to its per-
fect success, of which the parents of the pupils are more or
less aware. One difficulty lies in the poor preparation of the
scholars admitted from the Grammar schools. These pupils
are often too young (the average is between fourteen and
fifteen years of age), and too ignorant, to go on with advan-
tage in the High School course as now laid down. This is
due to the shortness of the time given to the Grammar schools.
Why that time was arranged to be briefer by one year than
the time required for the Grammar course in other towns, it
is not important now to ask. But, plainly, another year
and a more extended coure of preliminary study is neces-
sary, both for those who enter the High School and for those
who do not. There are many pupils whose education will
end with the Grammar School course, and who would con-
tinue for another year, if the course were lengthened. On
the other hand, a more thorough preparation in the element-
ary branches is essential to High School success. Other-
wise the higher mathematical work is marred by blunders in
arithmetic, the translations from the Latin and Greek, are
rendered into ungrammatical, misspelled and almost illegible
English, and accuracy in the use both of the foreign lan-
jmao-es and of the mother tongue is lost.
105
The other hindrance to a satisfactory condition of the High
School is the number and variety of the studies gone over.
It is hardly possible for the average scholar profitably to
pursue the course as now laid down. Too often he has failed
fairly to complete one study when the time has come for the
next ; and he must drop his incomplete work, and take up the
next thing in the appointed order, otherwise he has no place
in his class. The teacher has the alternative of putting the
scholar back a whole year, (which is objectionable), or of
pushing him forward as best he may. Thoroughness, in at-
tainment and in habit, does not come in that way. Earnest-
ness in the pursuit of knowledge, and hearty, healthy enthu-
siasm in study (instead of a mere effort to pass an examina-
tion) are impossible. The knowledge gained is superficial,
the little interest excited is transient. This applies to our
average boys and girls. The exceptional cases will take care
of themselves. The school is not so much for the splendid
exceptions as for the ordinary, the careless, and the dull.
They are to be trained to habits of mental discipline. We
are to interest them, to animate them, to bring out capaci-
ties which will, if rightly encouraged and guided, be more
useful to the community, in the long run, than the more pre-
cocious minds.
These difficulties are in the High School system. They
are not peculiar to our town. A bill has been presented
this session to the Legislature, by the member from Milton,
aiming to relieve High Schools by allowing towns to send
advanced pupils to Academies, under certain, proper re-
strictions. The trouble is generally felt. An experienced
friend of our Public Schools gives his published opinion,
that "a High School in which the education and true interests
of ninety per cent, of the boys and girls in attendance are
neglected, in order that ten per cent, of the boys may be
prepared to pass a College examination in Greek, is a thor-
oughly unrepublican institution." He describes the average
school, and he points to a dangerous tendency from which
all suffer more or less. Is the High School the proper place
to teach Latin and Greek, and to fit boys for college ? Some
of our best educators say distinctly and decidedly, No. As ,
the standard of college admission now is, the work of fitting
four or five boys is in itself enough for any teacher. He
cannot do justice to all. If the preparation is conducted in
close connection with a larjre number of other studies and of
106
other pupils, the care of the few must absorb a very large
proportion of the teacher's time and attention. In our own
case, it may be feasible to send the Latin and Greek scholars
(certainly in the last year) into the Boston Latin School,
and thus, to lift the weight and end the present confusion of
our school. Let it furnish a complete course of the higher
English branches and of the modern languages. Let the
classical training be supplied, (if the town should supply it. )
where it can be done to the best advantage of those pupils
seeking it, and without depriving the large number of other
scholars of their proportion of instruction. This would not,
of necessity, add to the expense, but would rather be an
economical plan for the town, while it would be better for
the few boys sent to Boston, and vastly better, as well as
more just and fair, to the rest of the school. For though
two assistants would then be desirable, yet, with an amend-
ed Grammar School course, and with consequently better
preparation of the scholars admitted to the High School ;
and with the Greek and Latin taken off, the school would
be more efficient with but one assistant than it can be with
two under the present system. The High School is an im-
portant and expensive part of our school system, expensive
in money and in the time of the pupils. A very general
conviction is, that its results are not in proportion to its
cost. It is to be hoped, that during the coming year some
judicious changes in the Grammar and High School arrange-
ments may benefit them both, and may enable the High
School to become all that the teachers, the committee and
the parents of its pupils desire it to be.
