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,

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 : —

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.

The Town Clerk requests information of any omission or error
in the above tables, in order that the registration may be as com-
plete as possible.
Eespectfully submitted,
HENRY B. TERRY, Town Clerk.
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.
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.]
