REPORT
OF THE
JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON FINANCE.
The Joint Standing Committee on Finance, in compliance
with the provisions of the 13th Section of "An Ordinance es-
tablishing a system of accountability in the expenditures of the
City," requiring that they " shall, in the month of February,
prepare and lay before the City Council, a statement of all the
Receipts and Expenditures of the preceding financial year, giv-
ing in detail the amount of appropriations and expenditures for
each department, accompanied with a schedule of the property,
real and personal, belonging to the City, and the valuation
thereof, and the amount of the City Debt," — submit to the City
Council their Annual Report for the Financial year ending
January 31st, 1853.
The Committee are happy to show, that the expenditures of
the year have been less than for either of the two preceding
years, and much within the sum of appropriations, notwithstand-
ing the amounts necessarily expended in re-building bridges
destroyed by the freshet last spring, (one in district No. 2, two
in district No. 4, one in district No. 6, and one in district
No. 9,) and for other permanent improvements, such as Sewers,
Amoskeag Falls bridge, Gas Fixtures, &c.
It will be seen that the City debt has been somewhat reduced,
and that there is sufficient balance in the Treasury, with what
may be received from taxes remaining unpaid, to meet all prob-
able expenses, until new taxes shall be assessed.
We find that all bills which have been paid, have been approv-
ed by competent authority, and that the books and accounts of
the City Clerk, and Treasurer, have been faithfully and correct-
ly kept, and that all moneys due the City have been collected
or accounted for.
EXPENDITURES.
The expenditures for the year (including the payments on the
City Debt) charged to their several appropriations, have been

It has been tin- object of the overseers of the poor, the past
year, to commence permanent improvements of the tana rather
than to ;itc income; and to accomplish this they
have In ill ■ firsl place required the City Teams to be empl
when doI a the farm, in procuring the large quantities of ma-
nure from the Btreetsand vaults of the city. In doing this the farm has
not only been ^benefitted mucli more than the exp< oseof
the manure, but much expense has been saved th
ior performed principally by
those who have been - al to the house of correction.
We are of the opinion that the project which has been commenc-
ed, of keeping cows on the farm, will, when fully carried out to
stent of the facilities of the farm for so doing, prove a judi-
cious and profitable one.
There are large quantities of Land owned by the city which now
produce nothing of any value, that with very little expense can be
made good pasture land ; tenacres of which have been broken and
worked the past year. When these waste lands are brought into
a proper state of cultivation, and those which are new cultivated
properly manured, the farm may he a source of much profit to the
city.
The farm the past yearhas produced well, and given good prom-
isc of what it can he made to do under an improved state of cul-
tivation.
It will he seen that those sent to the House of Correction
outnumber the paupers at the farm. Arrangements have been
made the past year to keep the paupers separate from the con
lossible ; and to have the latter Lcepl al labor in all i
when practicable.
In former years the county have refused to pay to the cit]
full 8 expended tty paupers, hut the present year
overseers were determined that no expenditure should be made
that could not reasonably lie repaidby the county, and toinsisl up-
on the payment of the same in lull. They have b i SsfuJ,
91
and received from the county the full amount of expenditures by
the city, so far as they have been presented.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK SMYTH, Mayor,
Chairman cx-officio.

In Board of Aldermen, February 22, 1853 :
Read, accepted, and ordered to be printed :
GEORGE A. FRENCH, City Clerk.
In Common Council, February 22, 1853 :
Read, accepted, and ordered to be printed in concurrence :
ENOCH N. ABBOTT, Clerk.
"VALLEY" CEMETERY EEPURT.
To His .7; ' or, and the City Council of the City of
Manchester : —
Your committee do not deem it necessary to make an ex-
tended report, since the "Valley" Is so easy of access to the
public, and is a place of so much resort, that all may and most
do visit the same, and are therefore qualified to judge of the
general views and proceedings of your committee in relation
to the general management of the grounds.
No new arrangements in relation to the grounds have been
made, but much has been done by the proprietors of Lots to
beautify and ornament the same; many Lots have been in-
closed by Iron Fences — monuments erected, &c, which add
much to the beauty of the Valley.
The City Tomb commenced last year has been finished and
enclosed by an Iron Fence, and proves to be what your com-
mittee anticipated, viz : a source of profit, and to meet the
wants of the public — the rates being fixed so low that all may
avail themselves of the use thereof without being burdened, and
still meet the expenses of the same.
There has been a rapid sale of Lots during the year ; 07 lots
having been sold and mostly paid for, the whole amount of
cash received during the year is as follows :
Sale of Lots 951
Wood sold 7 58
Use of Tomb 20 00
$979 12
There is now due for Lots sold
in 1849
" 1850

" 1851

l I L3
93
No appropriations were made for the benefit of the Valley
last year, yet the revenue arising from the sale of Lots, has
been ample to meet all the expenses accruing and pertaining
thereto, and your committee believe no appropriation will be
necessary the coming year, unless it should be thought neces-
sary to make some improvement on the Fence.
Your Committee would recommend the establishment of a
Xursery in connexion with the Valley, for the cultivation and
rearing of suitable Trees and shrubbery for the convenience
of all owners of Lots, for shade or ornaments, to be furnished
at a reasonable rate.
The New Cemetery not being wanted for immediate use and
being in a state of cultivation, was leased for the last year for
$20, and may be for the year to come ; at no distant day it will
be needed, as the valley is fast filling up and more room will
be called for.
Your Committee feel confident that the " Valley," so favor-
ably formed by Nature for a retreat, and made sacred by the
relics of many a loved one deposited in its bosom, (for who has
not dropped a tear over the resting place of friends departed)
will continue to be guarded with a watchful care, and preserv-
ed, as it well deserves to be, a peaceful and quiet resting-place
for generations yet to come.

CHIEF ENGINEER'S BEPOBT.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Manchester: —
The ordinance of the City "Relative to the Fire Depart-
ment," makes it my duty to report to you in the month of Feb-
ruary "the condition of all the Fire apparatus belongin
the City."
I do not conceive it necessary for me under this ordinance
to enter into any specific enumeration of such property, or to
state its value to you, but simply to state to y lition and
fitness for effective service.
All the Machines belonging to the City are in good working
condition, and well supplied with apparatus.
Nos. 4 and 5 ha1 i been fully repaired during the past year.
No. 1 should have some small ornamental repairs, and then
will in no whit be behind the others.
These machines, and all the others ordinarily acting with our
fire department, including the Hook and Ladder and Bose Com-
panie lied to them who are intelligent, ener-
getic, faithful and efficient.
They are resolute and determined, but obedient to discipline
and entirely submissive to authority.
The only strife among them Beems fco be, who shall best dis-
charge his duty, and render th< I most effectual ser-
vice at a fire.

The whole Fire Department is believed to be in sound work-
ing order. During the past year the Engineers have endeav-
ored to bring into it more system, and a better economy in re-
gard to supplies and repairs. They have to some extent suc-
ceeded ; and hope that more time will show still more success.
The firemen should be paid liberally ', but order, regularity,
exactness, and strict accountability should characterise the de-
partment.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE,
THE DISTRICTS.
Originally, or, at least, long before many of the pres
Ltanta of Ma r were resident- here, the town was
divided into four school districts, each of which, tl
embracing a large extent of territory aall in the number
of its scholars, and limited in the means of support!]
school. The first was call Falls District," and included
the portion of the town lying on the river north of the pr
location of G] reet. The "Meeting House Distri
embraced Hallsville, Bakersville, and the section of the town in
the vicinity of the city farm. The present districts, IS
and 9, constituted the " Calef District," and Nos. i and 5, and
a part of 3, composed the " Harvey District."
In 1810, the Falls District was divided " between Mr. Ra
and John Stark, 4th's." Various changes were made in the
other disl i m time to time, — of which it is not easy to find
a record, — until! appears to have been eight
districts in the town. This year, it was voted at the annual
i m to reorganize the school districts, and a committee was
appointed for that purpose. The following year their report
was accepted. Nine districts wer iade. In No. _' i-
now included Towlesville, with a section north of ii. which then
composed No. 6, while No. 6, as now constituted, belonged to
Nos. 7. 8, and '.'. With these exceptions, and perhaps a tew
other-; of less importance, the <i; -main unchanged.
We are not aware thai any alteration i< necessary in the
arrangement, unless it i; thought expedient to annex •• Wilson
Hill" in No. 7, io District No. -J.
97
NUMBER ONE.
This school is small, and destitute of that animation which
ensures advancement. The scholars are young and diffident,
and, in an examination before strangers, do not probably appear
so well as when questioned only by their teacher. This year
they have made good progress, and given us the pleasure of
reporting more favorably than former committees have done.
But they do not yet rank above the average of scholars
having the advantages which they possess. They need
earnestness and more close application. The deportment of
the school has been unobjectionable.
The summer school was taught by Miss Julia A. Baker — the
winter, by John G. Lane. Both succeeded well, were satisfac-
tory to the committee, and, so far as our knowledge extends,
quite acceptable to the district.
NUMBER THREE.
The summer school was visited only once by the committee,
the school closing before its prescribed time, in consequence of
the illness of the teacher. Of the progress of the scholars
during the session, we cannot judge. The teacher, Miss E.
B. Stark, was not without experience in the school room ; she
was earnest in her instructions, and had the full confidence of
the scholars and of the parents. In her register, Miss Stark
says " the scholars have been orderly and attentive, obedient
and well disposed, and many of the parents are deeply interest-
ed in the welfare of the school."
Mr. G. W. I. Carpenter, the teacher in the winter session, was
enthusiastic and willing to engage in hard labor for the benefit
of those under his instruction. He made an effort to inspire
them with confidence, and to render them prompt and energet-
ic in whatever they were required to do. The school made
very commendable advancement in many of the studies pur-
7
98
sued. The committee noticed an improvement in enunciation,
and in Arithmetic and Geography. In reading, the lower
classes deserve more credit than the older scholars
NUMBER FOUR.
The summer school in this district was taught by Miss Har-
riet Burnham, a lady of experience in teaching, and admirably
qualified to manage and instruct children. The school was al-
ways quiet and orderly. At the final examination the scholars
did not appear so well as at other times.
The winter term was taught by Mr. J. W. Clark, a very suc-
cessful instructor. As his school, at the time of making the
report, has four weeks to continue, the committee have not yet
made their second examination of the scholars.
NUMBER FIVE.
The people in this district often said, during the summer,
" we have a good school," or " we arc satisfied with the school,"
and certainly the committee would not desire a i: ^ta-
ble teacher than Miss, Shattuck. She appeared to be accurate
in her instructions, and energetic in the performance of her
duties.
Mr. Wm. P. Merrill, a resident in the district, 'ted
for the winter term. lie has been strict in his discipline and
faithful in his teaching. We think the Bchool lias done well.
With one exception there has been nothing to disturb its har-
mony, and this ease was so managed as to produce no evil re-
sult. The scholars have generally been attentive, orderly and
obedient.
NUMBER SIX.
In this district are Letter scholars than can be found in any
other except Nos. 2 and 7. This year, however, they have not
made that advancement which we were led to expect. We
were unfortunate, both summer and winter, in the selection of
teachers. Miss Ayer was chosen for the summer term. She
did not have that control of the scholars, which it is necessary
for the teacher to have, in order to keep a good school. The
blame however, should not perhaps attach wholly to the teacher.
Mr. S. D. Hill commenced the winter session, but had had
no experience as a teacher, and proved inefficient in the man-
agement of the school. No formal complaint was made against
him ; indeed, so far as we know, a majority of the district would not
ask for his removal, and the teacher had the good will of the
scholars. But there was evidently a conviction that lie was not
benefitting the scholars, and at the close of the 6th week, he
resigned. His place was filled by the selection of James H .
Fowler, a fine scholar, but not always sufficiently prudent as a
teacher. The school appeared well when visited by the com-
mittee, and was very quiet and studious.
There was considerable dissatisfaction in the district,- and at
the close of the 5th week, the school was discontinued.
NUMBER SEVEN.
Miss Martha D. Gregg had charge of the school in this dis-
trict in the summer, and was very satisfactory to all interested.
The winter term was commenced under the instruction of Mr.
C. W. Levings, who failed in government, and consequently
was unsuccessful as a teacher. He resigned at the close of
the seventh week, and his place was filled by the choice of
J. E. Bennett, an experienced teacher, under whose manage-
ment the remaining six weeks passed away very quietly.
This school is larsre and more advanced than the other
100
schools in town, except the high school. Quite a number of the
scholars are pursuing the higher English branches. Here arc
some very fine readers.
A portion of the district, which has recently become popula-
ted, is so situated as not to receive any benefit from the school.
It will be necessary soon to take measures to remedy the
evil.
NUMBER EIGHT.
The summer school in this district was of but little value to
the scholars. Though the teacher possessed many commenda-
ble qualities, she lacked the talent and energy requisite for the
school-room. The teacher selected for the winter term, was a
young man without experience, but possessing an active mind,
a good degree of ambition, and more than the ordinary share
of energy. The school has been quite small, but in point of
improvement will compare favorably with other schools. Miss
Rebecca Porter was the teacher for the summer term, and Mr
Wm. E. Moore, in the winter.
NUMBER NINE.
Here we found a most excellent summer school, full of anirna-
tion and earnestness. No teacher could be more devoted to
her work than Miss Webster. As an appreciation of her merit,
the committee were very glad to transfer her to a more laborious
field of labor in one of the primary schools in No. 2.
Mr. Giles succeeded very well in the winter school, the
scholars manifesting a good degree of improvement. The
people of the district, we think, were unanimous in their
expression of satisfaction with Mr. (iilcs.
101
NUMBER TWO.
In this district there are in operation twenty-four schools, in
which are employed at this time, thirty-two teachers, besides
the teacher of penmanship, and occasionally an instructor in
vocal music. We can only allude to these, without any extend-
ed remarks in regard to any school or teacher, except in the
higher grades.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
There are twelve primary schools in the district, one of
which was established the past term, to relieve the teachers of
the Spring street and Lowell street schools, which were crowd-
ed to excess.
It is in charge of Miss Julia A. Brown, who is creating
quite an interest among the scholars. The school contains
about fifty, mostly Irish and French children. They are as
quick and anxious to learn, and possess as much pride, as any
scholars in the district.
Park Street. There are two primary schools on this street,
taught by Miss Lane and Miss Scott. In the first, there has
been a marked improvement in the deportment of the scholars.
Miss Scott was elected to the place she occupies, at the com-
mencement of the summer term, and has not given the commitr
tee any reason to regret the appointment.
Merrimack Street. Miss Wier continues in the same
place as last year. Her school in many respects is not so
pleasant as others, and does not manifest that system which we
wish might exist, and which, perhaps, any teacher would find
it difficult to maintain in that school.
Manchester Street. Here are two primary schools —
102
Brown's and Miss Stevens's. These teachers have occu-
pied their places for two years, and as the children aim
appear cheerful and orderly, Ave sue no reason to find fault with
their management.
ycoRD Street. Miss Young was elected to this school
at the commencement of the summer term. The committee
then disliked to reduce the number of good scholars in the
school, as they were obliged to do in this election ; but
they -would now be much more reluctant to lose a good teacher
from the Concord street primary school.
Bridge Street. Miss Lane has had charge of this school
for so long a time, that she has fully established her authority,
and no boy or girl would sooner disregard her commands, than
those of the parent.
Lowell Street. Miss Eaton was placed in one of the
schools on Lowell street in June. She is an experienced teach-
ud succeeds well with the school. Miss Webster has been
in her school but a single term ; we have full confidence in her
success, having known her in another district.
Spring Street. Here are the two largest primary schools
in the city, under the care of MissBodwell and Miss Patterson.
Both schools appear neat and happy whenever the committee
look in upon them, and really are so at other times. These
teachers have been in the same rooms for several years.
The course of study in the primary schools is — ]■ . from
alphabet to the Primary School Reader — Geography^ Mitoh-
. to the fortieth lesson — Ar'Ulmuiic, Tower's, to the one
hundredth page, and the multiplication table.
MIDDLK SCHOOLS
These remain as they were reported last year in regard to
: number and location, bul have nearly all changed te
They occupy an important place in our system of schools.
108
It is in these that the first principles of study are inculcated —
that the foundation for future scholars should be laid. The
studies pursued in these schools arc — Arithmetic, through Tow-
er's, and Colburn's to the tenth section — Qeogr<xphy, Mitchell's
completed — History, Goodrich's to the fourth period, and
reading and spelling.
Park Street. This school was well managed by Miss
Richardson during the first three terms of the year, and quite
to our satisfaction by Miss Ayer, in Miss It.'s absence, the past
term. Miss i\.yer has kept th'e school under good discipline,
and applied herself faithfully to the work of teaching.
Merrimack Street. Miss Bunton succeeded Miss Fowler,
whom the committee were compelled to excuse because she had
other engagements. Miss B. is improving in her management,
and the past term her scholars have given a good account of
themselves. In arithmetic she has some fine pupils — in geog-
raphy the school is deficient.
Concord Street. Miss Hall, who had the charge of
this school for a long time, left it at the close of the fall term to
commence the duties of a domestic sphere. While under her
direction, it always had quick and attractive scholars, and gain-
ed the reputation of being one of the best schools of its class.
Miss TVoodworth, who succeeded well in a primary, had a
severe task to govern this school, when she first undertook it.
The deportment is not yet quite what we would like to have it.
Bridge Street. This school is unfortunate in having had
several teachers during the year. Miss Jackson succeeded
Miss May in the summer, but at the expiration of the term
was obliged to resign on account of ill health. Miss Shattuck
was elected in her place, but was almost immediately transfer-
reel to the high school. She was succeeded by Miss Baker,
who has not met with that success which we were led to expect,
from her experience in other schools. The school is not so for-
ward as most of the others of this grade.
Spring Street. Mrs. Brooks has the school which was
under the control of Miss Plumer last year. It is in a pros-
104
porous condition, and commends itself and its teacher to a favor-
able notice.
Miss Brown is the only middle school teacher who has been
in her place for more than a year. Her school ranks among
the best of that class.
TOWLESVILLE SCHOOL.
Miss Eaton still continues at TTowlesville, and performs faith-
fully the work which many male teachers could not do as well.
The school is large and in some respects difficult to manage. It
seems almost necessary that there should be two schools in that
vicinity, of different grades. It would be an advantage to the
scholar, and much easier for the teacher. The labor is now so
great that it is difficult to find a teacher.
FALLS SCHOOL.
Miss Ingalls continues here — has a small, quiet school, gives
thorough instruction, and preserves good order. " Her works
praise her."
INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.
This school was established in the winter term of last year to
meet a want which has for a Long time existed in cm- system of
schools. It affords advantages to a class of scholars who can
attend but a few months in a year, and wish to pursue different
branches of study from those prescribed for the other sohools.
It is also adapted,to a class of scholars that come in from the
country, who in some studies are amply qualified to enter the
grammar school or even the high school, but are deficient in
105
others. Here is the place to make up this deficiency. This
year, the committee made it exceedingly serviceable in another
particular. Quite a number of large boys were members of
the primary and middle schools, whom a female teacher found
it hard to manage. These were removed to the intermediate,
where they found more stern discipline in government and in-
struction, which has been of much value to them. The school
is one of the most important in our whole system, and in its
government is not excelled. It is under the direction of Mr.
Charles Aldrich, an indefatigable teacher, assisted by Miss
Matilda Abbott.
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
The South Grammar School. This school has for seven
years, from its first commencement, been in charge of A. M.
Caverly, who now resigns. The committee, and the parents
who send to the school, part with Mr. Caverly reluctantly. He
has been a faithful and thorough instructor. He is always the
same — possesses no eccentricities of character, and attempts
nothing for mere show. The whole number of pupils who have
been under his instruction within the period named, is about
fifteen hundred — of this number one hundred and sixteen have
entered the high school — 240 have gone from the school to the
mills and other places of labor ; and seven, to the knowledge of
the principal, and possibly more than that number, have died.
The school has suffered the past year from the irregularity
of its assistants, both of whom have been absent more or less,
in consequence of ill health. To compensate for this loss and
to afford facilities to a class of scholars who attend only in the
winter, a third assistant,— -Mrs. Hill, formerly Miss Fowler, teach-
er of the middle school on Merrimack street, — was employed
for the past term. The regular assistants were Miss B. B. Shep-
herd and Miss Clara J. Straw.
We copy several paragraphs from a communication made by
10G
Mr. Caverly to the committee in relation to the school. It is
applicable in many respects to the origin of the North Gram-
mar £ - the schools generally in the city, i they
existed a few years ago.
" When I entered this school seven years ago, I found in at-
tendance fourteen scholars. But the teachers of the various
He schools were soon directed by the committee to send to
this a certain proportion of their cumber. This brought togeth-
er about fifty from those schools ; some good, and many
whose habits and dispositions made them any thing but desirable
materials to work upon. The first year we did not have suita-
ble accommodations, but in that limited time occupied four
different rooms, neither of which was fitted for the purpose it
was made to serve. But an appropriation was early made — the
present building erected and completed at the commencement
of the second year, since which time we have been permanent-
ly and pleasantly located. The first two years there were many
obstacles in the way of success, which could not be easily re-
moved. At that time, there was a great influx of population,
and some families apparently thought but little of schools, or of
the education of their children. The result was that many
scholars were very irregular in their attendance, and truancy
was of almost daily occurrence. Another obstacle but lit cl
formidable, grew out of the want of a regular, prescribed course
of study. Many scholars claimed the privilege of studying
any branch to which their fancy might lead, regardless of pre-
requisite qualifications; and in some instances the parents inter-
fered, and it seemed almost necessary to yield to their wis
against the dictates of reason. But the attention of the i
mittce was early called to this subject, and a remedy provided,
in the adoption of a uniform course of study, and the division
of the school into a regular grade of classes.
For the first thr | roportion of the accessions
to the school was made up of those who had received no in-
iction in the lower schools, but had just come to the city : and
among this number were a few whose want of early training.
107
rendered them a source of as much annoyance to the school, as
they will hereafter be to the community. But for the past four
years, nearly all who have entered the grammar schools have
gone through the course of study in the middle schools ; and
these have usually exhibited moral and intellectual traits, which
have reflected great credit upon the teachers of those schools.''
Nortii Grammar School. This school is generally larger
than that at the south part of the district, and except in recita-
tion rooms has accommodations for a larger number of pupils. It
possesses an unusual degree of ambition, and has in most of the
studies been well instructed. It has its defects, but they are
so few compared with its merits, that we will find no fault with it.
The school was opened in December of 1848, under the su-
perintendence of Mr. Moses T. Brown, the present principal,
assisted by Miss Allison and Miss Bliss. The former is still
connected with the school. At the commencement of the
summer term, Miss A. M. Hunt was chosen in the place of Miss
Bliss. Mr. Brown is regarded as one of the best of teachers,
while few schools can be more favored with good assistants.
The full account of the obstacles to be overcome, which we
have given in connection with the report of the other grammar
school, is so applicable to this school, though perhaps not to so
great an extent as in the other case, that we do not extend our
report farther.
The course of study in these schools is — Arithmetic, Col-
burn's, completed, Leach and Swan's, to Involution— GeograpTiy,
completed — History, Goodrich's completed, and Worcester's —
Grammar — Green's 1st and 2d Parts, — Physiology, Cutter's.
Particular attention is paid to reading and spelling. Rhetorical
exercises are recpiired.
108
HIGH SCHOOL.
Previous to 1846, this school had only the rank of a gram-
mar school. That year, by order of the district, it was con-
stituted a high school, and provided "with teachers to give
instruction in the ancient and modern languages, and in all the
higher branches of English studies pursued in academies. The
first principal was John W. Ray, who continued in that capaci-
ty until 1849, when he was succeeded by Amos Hadlcy, who
at the expiration of his second year, was succeeded by the
present principal, John. P. Newell. The school has usually
had two female assistants. Miss Lydia G. Bailey, Miss Ann
E. Riddle, Miss Elizabeth Allison, Miss S. E. Green, Miss
Julia A. Knowlton, each assisted one or more terms. In 1848,
Miss Caroline C. Johnson was elected, and continued in the
school until 1852. Miss Esther P. Straw served for nearly
the same length of time. The present assistants arc Miss
Emily P. Shattuck, and Miss Abby H. Dennett.
In the studies to which the classes have attended, there has
been a very marked improvement. On an examination and at
their usual recitations, the scholars give their answers with-
out hesitation, and with much accuracy. The last examination
afforded most convincing proof of the proper mental discipline
in each department. There is in the school much active talent
— many brilliant scholars, who are as thoroughly instructed,
and who appear to be as familiar with the studies which they
have pursued, as those of their age in any of the academies in
the State.
The defects in the school are a want of close application by
some members, and a disposition on the part of others to a lax-
ness of discipline — an impatience of restraint. For this the
teacher may not be responsible. The fault does not originate
altogether with the scholar; it frequently lies further hack — it
may be found at home. It has often been the case that parents
have taken their children from the school when they have been
reproved or punished there. This is a serious injury to any
109
school, and we trust will not long be suffered in the city. The
committee have advised the teachers to adopt a more strict
regime, and to reprimand all departures from correct deport-
ment.
It is quite evident that a regular course of study for the
high school should be adopted, and that an effort should be
made to elevate the standard of scholarship. Our plan would
be to prescribe a course for three years study — that there
should be only one term in the year when ordinarily scholars
should enter from our grammar schools — that classes should be
formed at that time, and that pupils desiring to enter at any
other time, should be qualified to go into the classes already
existing. This would make less classes, save much labor, and
perhaps enable us to dispense with one assistant.
WRITING, MUSIC, &c.
During the year, Mr. P. F. Gerrish has been employed to give
instruction in penmanship in the three higher schools. He has
worked for the benefit of the scholars unceasingly and as a teach-
er receives the approbation of the committee. His style is plain
and easy to be obtained.
Vocal music has been introduced into the upper class of
schools during the year, with much profit to the scholars.
Aside from the knowledge of music which they may obtain,
the exercise serves as a recreation, and gives them new zeal in
applying their minds to whatever is required of them. Mr.
John H. Willard has been employed to give lessons twice a
week in the High School and in each of the Grammar Schools.
During the year lectures have been given to some extent,
by the teachers in these schools, on various subjects connected
with the branches pursued.
110
READING, &c.
In district No. 2, there is generally much attention paid to
reading, and in these schools may be found many very excellent
readers. In all the other districts, except No. 7, there are
scarcely any who read well, and it is painful for a nervous man
to sit for half an hour in some of the school rooms, while a
class is attempting to give some idea of ki Ilicnzi's address to
the Romans," or some other spirited piece.
Most of the schools are deficient in a knowledge of orthogra-
phy. They need to make the spelling-book more familiar, and
in reading, to observe more closely the orthography of words.
There is another fault which we must notice — a desire in the
scholars to go over too rapidly the lessons assigned. In many
branches there is a serious want of thorough knowledg
INCREASING INTEREST.
There has been the past year an increasing desire on the part
of children to attend school. Especially is this true of the
children of foreigners, and augurs well for that class which is
becoming so important an element in our population.
There has been less truancy than formerly, although it is still
one of the greatest evils with which we have to contend. !
who are not under proper restraint at home, go to school with
the notion that they can follow their own inclinations, and if
they find anything more alluring than the school room, immedi-
ately go in pursuit of it. It often occurs that a wayward
for a whole week, before the teacher can ascertain the
a, and before noticeof the factcan reach the parents.
Former bees, the Justice el* tin- Police Court, the
Mayor and the legal voters of School District No 2, have fre-
quently had this evil under consideration, and at the
sion of the Legislature, upon the petition of the authoritii
Manchester nod Port mouth, a law was passed giving the city
Ill
government power to legislate in regard to truants and such
children as are found growing up in idleness and -without employ-
ment. The design of the law is to urge all to attend the schools
now open to them, but in case of neglect or refusal so to do, to
subject them to punishment.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The increased desire to attend school and the fact that our
population is increasing, indicate that there must soon be more
school room provided. It is not, we know, a welcome subject
to the tax payers, but necessity will soon enforce attention to
the erection of school houses, or increased provision for the
police and the almshouse. In district No. 2, there are now
150 scholars attending public schools under the direction of the
committee, in rooms rented for the purpose, and we have no
doubt but that there are 300 children in the district more than
can be well accommodated in the present school rooms.
The house at Towlesville is not large enough to accommo-
date the scholars in that neighborhood. District No. 3 is poor-
ly provided with a school house, and has not even a pretence
for a shed or any outbuilding. No. 4 has a very good house,
which has the fault of high seats. No. 3 has an uncomforta-
ble house, and the other districts have nothing very flattering
by way of school buildings.
According to a vote of the district, the high school building
has been ventilated, and is now much more comfortable for those
who occupy it. The committee did not deem it expedient to
carry out the vote in full and ventilate the grammar school hous-
es the present year. We hope it will be done hereafter.
We will here suggest that the three brick houses in No. 2,
arc not insured. We hope the district will consider this mat-
ter at the next annual meeting.
112
APPROPRIATIONS.
We hope our city council will sec the necessity of making
greater appropriations for schools the coming year. More than
the amount appropriated this year has been expended . Ten thou-
sand dollars may seem a great sum for the support of schools,
but it can be expended in no manner so profitably as in educa-
ting the young.
A SUPERINTENDExNT.
The committee close their report by recommending the ap-
pointment of a Superintendent of Schools, for the city. The
services of one intelligent and judicious man in watching the
interests of the schools — one who can make this his business —
would do more for the advancement of education than has here-
tofore been done by any single agency. We will not attempt
to prescribe the duties of such an officer, nor arc we prepared
to say that the committee should be dispensed with, but we
feel confident that a well qualified superintendent, having an
opportunity to become familiar with the character and attain-
ments of the scholars, would be able to make suggestions, and
devise plans of improvement, which would be of the utmost im-
portance in our schools.
