EEPORT OF CITY MAESHAL
To His Honor the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the
City of Manchester :
Gentlemen : — In compliance with Sec. B of the Revised
Ordinance I herewith submit my second annual report of
the Police Department, for the year ending December 31 ^
1875.
The state of the city for the past year has been compara-
tively quiet. No serious crime has been committed within
our midst, while in some sections of our State crime has
prevailed to an alarming extent.
Although the number of arrests have been large, it is-
gratifying to be able to report that no extensive robberies-
or burglaries have occurred in our city.
A well-regulated Police force is one of the most import-
ant branches, and is the strong right arm in local civil gov-
ernment, and is a guarantee of the supremacy of the laws-
and the protection of life and property.
In some sections of our city the officers' beats extend
over one mile in distance, and it should not be a matter of
surprise that our officers, whose services are over so long a
route, are not at the place where crime is committed at
all times. Occasionally complaint is made that some theft
has been committed and no officer in sight. It is not often
that criminals are so bold as to commit crime in the sight
of an officer. Criminals usually take care to see that no
officer is near enough to interfere in their work.
14
Those who are loudest in complaining think not of the
constant services rendered night and day by our officers,
nor of the numerous instances when the officer is on hand
at the right time. Our officers are exposed to the frequent
and sudden changes of the weather, and their duties, at
times, are hazardous, and contending for the right with the
worst classes in the community they are constantly exposed
to danger, and oftentimes make many bitter enemies.
It will be seen by the following statement that less arrests
have been made during the past year than the year 1874.
The following is a report of the work done during the
year by the Police Force :
Number of males arrested
Number of females arrested
Total number of arrests
Number of lodgers .
Store doors found open .
The officers have given the fire alarm eight times
the year.
Number of arrests in 1874

EEPOET or SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the City Council of the City of 3Ianchester :
The Board of School Committee respectfully submit their
Report, as required by law, for the year ending December
SI, 1875. .
By an amendment to the city charter, passed by the
Legislature at the session of 1874, the School Board was
changed, both in respect to the number of its members,
and the length of their term of office. By that amend-
ment the city was divided into seven Wards instead
of eight, as before, and provision made for the election of
two members of the School Board from each Ward for the
first year, one for the term of one year, and the other for
the term of two years, and, thereafter, for the annual elec-
tion of one member from each Ward for the term of two
years. By this arrangement the School Board consists of
sixteen members, the Mayor and President of the Common
Council being members ex-officio, as before. To this Board,
thus constituted, is committed the most sacred and import-
ant interest of the city, the care of the public schools, and
the expenditure of the school money.
The receipts and expenditures for the year, with some
other items of public and general interest, will be found in
the following tables :

It will be perceived that the appropriation for fuel is con-
siderably overdrawn. The explanation is this : the severe
and protracted cold weather of last winter made it neces-
sary to purchase, at an advanced price, something like a
hundred tons of coal in addition to that which had been
provided for the purpose, and to guard against a similar
contingency the large amount of four hundred tons was
purchased for the present season.
In all free, popular governments, it is universally conceded
that provision must be made for the general education
of the people ; for without this there can be no security
for the intelligent exercise of those powers with which the
law clothes every citizen, or for the wise administration of
public affairs, and, therefore, no safeguard for the perpe-
tuity of the government, and the preservation of civil and
religious liberty. Hence, there is no object for which the
people are more willing to be taxed, than for the mainten-
ance of the public schools. In this matter our own city
has always pursued a most wise and liberal policy. Ample
provision is yearly made for the education of all the chil-
25
dren, and most parents who have children of the proper
school age are glad to avail themselves of the privileges
thus afforded. Where this is wanting the law makes at-
tendance compulsory, either in the public or parochial
schools, for a portion of the year, at least. This appears
to be the settied policy of the State, as expressed in those
laws which provide ' that the advantages of a common-
school education shall be furnished to every child' in the
State. And in order that these advantages may actually
be made available to every child, every town and city is
empowered " to make such by-laws as shall compel the at-
tendance at school of all children between the ages of six
and sixteen years, who are habitual truants, or who do not
attend school, and are without any regular and lawful oc-
cupation." There are, unquestionably, many such children
in our city, and it is a matter of vital public importance
that they be placed in school, and not suffered to grow up
in ignorance and vice. The question arises, by what agency
can this best be done ? We respectfully suggest that
some suitable person should be appointed truant officer who
shall give his whole time to this service while the schools
are in session, — who shall be under the direction and con-
trol of the School Board, and shall be required to make a
daily report of his doings to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction. There is a manifest propriety in this, and we
believe the public sentiment demands it. In many cities,
where a different provision to regulate the evil of truancy
has been tried, it has proved a failure and has been aban-
doned. *
In order still further to secure to all children the ad-
vantages of our common school system, there is a law that,
" no child under fifteen years of age shall be employed in
any manufacturing establishment, unless he shall have at-
tended some public school or private day-school, where in-
struction was given by a teacher competent to instruct in
26
the branches taught in the common schools, at least twelve
weeks during the preceding year ; or, if under twelve years
of age, unless he shall have attended school as aforesaid
at least six months during the preceding year, if the schools
were in session for that length of time." The overseers
in the mills, and those having charge of other manufactur-
ing establishments in the city, have professed a readi-
ness to coopeuate with the School Board in enforcing a
compliance with the provisions of this law. There is rea-
son to fear, however, that many children are thus employed
without the proper certificate showing that the law has
been complied with. If a correct enumeration of children
between the ages of six and sixteen years had been made
last April, as required by the act of the Legislature, we
could tell approximately how many children in the city are
actually deprived of all schooling.
In order still further to insure the advantages of a com-
mon-school education to all children, the question is agitated
in several of the States, and in many towns and cities,,
whether free text-books should not be furnished to all chil-
dren in the public schools. In quite a number of places
the plan has already been successfully adopted, and there
are strong reasons to recommend its adoption generally.
Such books could be purchased in large quantities, directly
of the publishers, at the lowest wholesale prices, and, there-
fore, at prices but little more than half the retail cost.
Passing from one child to another, they could be made to
do service three or four times over. The books could be
charged directly to the teachers of the several schools, who
would finally return them to the Superintendent. Where
the plan has been adopted, it is said, the books are better
cared for than when owned by the scholars themselves, —
and that the cost to the public is not more than one-fourth
the usual amount paid for such books. It also removes the
inconvenience and delay, whicli often arise from the want
27
of books, and takes the burden from those who can ill af-
ford to purchase them and yet have too much pride of
character to accept of them as an act of charity. So far
as either the law or public policy is concerned, free text-
books could be supplied on the same ground, and for the
same reasons that school-houses, teachers, apparatus, &c.,
are now furnished.
But few ordinary repairs have been required during the
year. The extreme cold weather of last winter, however,
made it apparent that the arrangements for heating the
Franklin-street and Lincoln-street houses were entirely in-
adequate for the purpose. Several times it was found
necessary to dismiss those schools long before the regular
hour for closing them. And besides this, the furnaces in
those buildings were so out of repair that the escaping gas
rendered the air in the rooms occupied by the children
unfit to be breathed. These facts being brought to the at-
tention of the committee of the City Council on Lands
and Buildings it was decided, and wisely we think, to re-
place the worn-out furnaces with steam-heating apparatus.
Though the expense of putting in these improved furnaces
has been quite large, in the first instance, yet it is confi-
dently believed that no further considerable outlay of the
kind will be needed in these houses for many years.
And here we may be permitted to advert to a matter
which has been touched upon in former reports. We refer
to the singular fact that the greater part of the annual ap-
propriation for the repairs of school-houses is expended
under the direction of tlie Committee on Lands and Build-
ings, rather than under the direction of the School Com-
mittee. "We respectfully suggest to the City Council that
the whole of this appropriation for repairs be intrusted to
the School Board. There would seem to be great propriety
in this, as it must be admitted that the Board have special
opportunities for knowing what repairs are needed.
28
We desire, also, again to call the attention of the City
Council to the suggestions of former School Boards in re-
gard to the purchasing of new school-house lots, and the
enlarging of one or two now owned by the city. We would
refer you to the particular facts, touching this matter, that
were stated in last year's Report.
During the year 1874, John B. Clarke, Esq. offered to
members of the High school four prizes, amounting in all,
to forty dollars, — two to the young gentlemen for the best
declamations, and two to the young ladies for the best
reading. The same generous offer was made for the pres-
ent year and accepted by the School Board. These prizes
were competed for near the close of the Fall term in the
hall of the Ash-street school-house. The exercises were
very interesting and of a high order, reflecting great credit
upon the pupils of the High school, and upon those who
instructed them.
Realizing the importance of elocution or the art of read-
ing and speaking intelligently and forcibly, and desiring, as
far as possible, to promote this art in the public schools,
the School Board, near the close of the year, employed
Prof. Mark Bailey, of Yale College, to give a course of ten
lectures on elocution to our teachers in order that, through
them, all our schools might receive the advantages of the
best instruction that could be afforded in this important,
but often poorly taught, branch of education. The more
advanced pupils in the High school were also admitted to
these lectures.
Music has been taught in all the schools as heretofore.
In some of them a very good degree of proficiency has
been attained. We do not think it would be wise to dis-
continue the practice of employing an experienced teacher
in this department. As a source of amusement and recre-
ation, as a means of discipline and refinement, as tending
to promote good order and harmony of feeling and man-
29
ner, as well as of voice, it cannot be too highly recom-
mended.
In this connection we may speak of drawing. In some
of our schools this has been taught, more or less, for years.
But the subject is receiving attention now as never before.
In the best schools of the first nations of Europe it has
long held a prominent place. The results which those na-
tions have reached in decorative art, and the perfection to
which they have carried their manufactures, are due more
to their early practice in the various departments of draw-
ing, and to their art and industrial schools and schools of
design, than to all things else. Indeed, it would seem that
the time is not far in the future when the question of S'U-
premacy among nations is to be a question, not of armies
and of battles, but of art, industry and skilled labor. In
this country the foundation of this art-education must be
laid in our common schools, and must begin with drawing.
In the matter of high art, of refined taste, and of skilled
labor in its finer and more remunerative forms, we are im-
measurably behind many of the European nations. "Who-
ever," says Prof. C. B. Stetson, "attends the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia, will behold the results of such
(art) education, not only in France, but in other European
countries, where drawing is made the foundation of all
manufactures and of all art."
But in the United States the attention of educators is
being drawn more and more to this subject. In many
places a good beginning has been made. The first manu-
facturing city of New Hampshire cannot afford to be indif-
ferent to a matter so closely connected with her growth and
prosperity. Instead, therefore, of excluding drawing from
our schools, it should be given greater prominence from
year to year, for in that direction lie our highest material
interests. In a lecture on this subject, given by Prof. Wal-
ter Smith before the teachers of the Boston High Schools^
30
his closing words are as follows : " In ten years from the
Centennial of Independence the United States will take
rank as an art-producing nation, because the art education,
which is inevitable, will have then made good taste gene-
ral and skilled labor common, thus making it possible to
convert the boundless resources of the country into the re-
fined expression of industrial wealth." The exhibition of
drawings and paintings at our High School near the close
of the last term, every member furnishing one or more spe-
cimens, was very creditable to the school and gave prom-
ise of excellent work for the future.
The Training school is still doing good service. The
usual number of graduates from the High school have been
in attendance as sub-teachers without pay. As the term of
service here is six months, with daily practice in the actual
work of the school room, under the direction of experi-
■enced teachers, where the best methods of teaching and
governing are fully illustrated and explained, it will be seen
at once what an excellent preparation is here afforded to
such as desire to fit themselves for teaching.
The Evening schools have been in session three months,
commencing the first Monday in October, and closing on
the twenty-fourth of December. The whole number in at-
tendance upon these schools has been three hundred ; the
average number belonging, one hundred seventy-two ; and
the average attendance, one hundred seventeen. The school
in the old High school-house has been under the charge of
Mr. J. B. Mills, and that in 'Squog under the charge of
Mr, James E. Stone. These Evening schools are proving
a great blessing to those who cannot conveniently attend
the day schools. They are to be resumed and will continue
through the winter.
There has been an unusual number of changes in the
corps of teachers during the year. On the first day of Jan-
uary the resignation of Mr. Dame, master of the Lincoln-
31
street Grammar school, was reluctantly accepted, and Mr.
Sylvester Brown, who had charge of the Grammar school
in 'Squog was elected for one term in Mr. Dame's place.
In March, Mr. Dame signifying his willingness again to ac-
cept the position formerly held by him, was re-instated, and
Mr. Brown was transferred to the mastership of the Spring-
street Grammar school. This position he resigned Decem-
ber 31, to accept a similar one in Quincy, Mass., at an in-
creased salary and Mr. E. P. Sherburne of Portsmouth,
has been elected master of the Spring-street school. At
the beginning of the year Mr. Herbert W. Lull was made
Principal of the Intermediate school but at the commence-
ment of the fall term was chosen assistant teacher in the
High school and Mr. J. J.. Sullivan, a member of the
School Board, was made Principal of the Intermediate
school. During the summer vacation Miss Emma A. H.
Brown resigned her situation as teacher of the Amoskeag
Grammar school, a position which she had filled with great
acceptance to the people in that part of the city and to the
School Board. Miss Etta J. Carley was put in Miss Brown's
place. One, only, of our teachers has been removed by
death. Capt. Andrew M. Heath, who early in the year had
been placed at the head of the Piscataquog Grammar school,
died at his home in Epsom during the summer vacation.
Mr. William M. Stevens was elected to the place made va-
cant by the death of Mr. Heath,
It will be seen from this rapid sketch tliat there have
been many changes in our Grammar schools within the
year, and these changes have occurred just where they are
ordinarily most injurious. In four out of the six schools
of this grade there have been one or more changes of prin-
cipals. No one is to be blamed for this ; it is not a fault,
but it is a misfortune. We want good teachers, — the best
we can get, and then we want them permanent. Primary
school No. 7, in the Lincoln-street house, has been dis-
32
continued. The whole number of regular teachers in the
day schools, at the present time, is sixty-seven.
In July, Mr. Joseph G. Edgerly closed his services as
Superintendent of Public Instruction. He had held the
office continuously for eight years, and had devoted him-
self intelligently and faithfully to the discharge of its
duties. He had won the respect of the teachers, and the
confidence of the public. In no small degree it is owing
to his judicious management that our schools have im-
proved from year to year, until, confessedly, they rank
among the best in the country. Hon. Josiah G. Dearborn
was elected as Mr. Edgerly's successor. Mr. Dearborn had
been for many years successfully engaged in teaching, both
here and in the city of Boston, and has had many oppor-
tunities for observation. He knows the wants of the
schools, is familiar with the best methods of instruction,
and is earnestly devoting himself to the duties of his office.
A larger number has been in attendance upon our High
school than for any previous year. This fact indicates the
growing popularity of the school, and that more of our
citizens than ever before desire to avail themselves of the
opportunities here afforded for the thorough education of
their children. All the advantages of the best academies
are here furnished free to the youth of our city, thus en-
abling many parents to give their children a superior edu-
cation, who could hardly bear the expense of sending them
away from home for this purpose ; while others are enabled
to send their boys to college, because the burden of the
preparatory course falls so lightly upon them.
From the amount paid for tuition by those attending this
school, but having no legal residence in the city, the sum
of three hundred and fifty dollars has been appropriated
by the Board for the purchase of an excellent telescope,
and other apparatus needed for the work of the school.
33
Considerable inconvenience has heretofore been experi-
enced in this school from admitting pupils twice a year.
Hereafter scholars will be admitted from the Grammar
schools only at the beginning of the Fall term. In all
grades below the High school promotions will occur twice
a year, as usual.
On the whole, our schools have made good progress dur-
ing the year. Still, they are not perfect ; they are not all
they can be made to be in some respects^ and in some
schools there is yet much room for improvement. The
regularity in attendance, although fair, is not all that
€Ould be wished. We desire to call the attention of pa-
rents to this matter. The unnecessary absence of scholars
is not only an injury to themselves but a positive wrong to
the schools to which they belong. Wherever the evil ex-
ists let there be a prompt and an honest endeavor to correct
it. Parents need also to be continually upon their guard
never to allow themselves, through a natural but inconsid-
erate partiality for their children, to take sides against a
teacher. An injudicious or unjust criticism of a teacher
may, and often does, do an irreparable injury to the child.
Instead of fault-fiuding, therefore, let parents cooperate
with the teachers of their children in every possible way,
remembering that obedience to properly constituted author-
ity, whether at home or in the school, is the first as it is
the most important lesson a child can learn.
Our teachers, almost without exception, are conscien-
tiously and successfully devoting themselves to the work
of their high calling. It is no trifling thing to be the
teacher and guide of the young. The qualifications de-
manded for such a position are various in kind, and more
rare than is generally supposed. Something more than a
familiarity with the text-books in use or a thorough know-*
ledge of the studies pursued in any given school is requi-
site to make a successful teacher. There must be a thor-
34
ough knowledge of human nature, unwearied patience,
tact, invention, refined manners, a pure mind, and, over
all, enthusiasm, with the power to impart it to others. It
must also be borne in mind that the true end to be sought
in the early education of our youth is not so much the
storing the memory with isolated facts as the gaining of
ideas ; that it is not so much even the acquisition of know-
ledge as learning how knowledge is acquired ; tliat it has
more to do with things than with the names of things, and
is rather a process of growth from within than of cram-
ming from without ; that it is, in short, learning how to
think correctly and independently, how best to use one's
faculties when he leaves the school of his childhood and
youth and goes out, self-poised, into the great school of the
world. They are the best teachers who can best help their
pupils to such an education.
Through the wise liberality of our citizens our school-
houses at the present time afford ample accommodations
for all our schools. They are generally attractive in ap-
pearance, thoroughly built, conveniently arranged, and
well furnished. They are an ornament to the city and a
standing proof of the enterprise and public spirit of our
people.
At a meeting of the School Board, held December 10,
a special committee was appointed to consider the expedi-
ency of representing our schools at the Centennial Exhi-
bition and, if deemed advisable, to ask of the City Coun-
cil a moderate appropriation for this purpose. Many cities
as well as States are thus to be represented. It seems fit-
ting that the first city in New Hampshire should indicate,
with others, what she has done for the education of her
youth. With photographs and plans of some of our
best school-buildings, with a model of the Ash-street house,
— one of the most unique and best-planned houses tb be
found in the country, — carefully prepared and sufficiently
35
large to be easily understood ; with a description of our
school system and a brief history of the origin, growth,
and present condition of the city, and with such other
matters as could easily be represented, we could make a
respectable showing and should have no cause to blush
from a comparison with many cities much older and larger
than ours.
J. P. NEWELL, for the Committee.
Manchester, N. H., Jan. 17, 1876.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of Manchester :
Gentlemen: The position to which I was invited at the
beginning of the present school year was accepted with a
deep sense of the responsibilities it imposes. Though its
duties were in the direct line in which the most of my life-
work has thus far been done, though "having had such ac-
quaintance with your schools as several years' experience
at the head of one of them afforded, and an extended and
somewhat similar experience in a neighboring city, the du-
ties of this office appeared no slight task to me. The con-
fidence and cordiality with which you at first greeted me,
and have since uniformly extended, have most agreeably
opened the way for my work. You will readily pardon
thus much of personality in introducing to you my first
Eeport.
The prime and obvious duty upon entering the office was
to make a survey of the situation, to ascertain what was
being attempted and what accomplished in our schools.'
To examine into the programme of studies, to make the ac-
quaintance of the teachers, observe their methods of work-
ing, were some of the first things attended to with care.
In a system of schools so long established, so liberally sup-
ported by an enterprising community, so well cared for by
a succession of intelligent committees, it would be strange
if there was not found, on the whole, a superior state of
things. On the other hand, perfection in any system of
graded schools, adapted to meet widely varied wants, where
38
so much of the machinery necessarily tends in a mechani-
cal and routine direction, was not to be expected. Those
things which are constantly being done and perforce done
much in the s-ame way, for days and months and years, in-
evitably run into ruts and grooves. Hence, in such a sys-
tem, while excellencies may be numerous, defects cannot
be absent. And, again, to those who hold independent and
somewhat definite views upon education, based upon prac-
tical experience and observation, all things do not look
the same. In a word, our schools seem to be doing very
well, but not without their faults, and susceptible of im-
provement. To work towards keeping them doing well,
holding fast that which is good, is the first point in my
endeavor, and the second point is, to work carefully and
steadily to make them do still better. But it is not al-
ways the loudest and most talked-about reforms in schools,
more than in other things, that are the wisest. Evils af-
fecting social and civil organizations, where the feelings
and prejudices of the people are more or less engaged, are
usually better overcome by quiet and gradual processes than
by noisy demonstrations and radical revolutions. What-
ever improvement, if any, my efforts here may promote,
will not be marked by any attempted sudden overthrow of
existing plans, but wrought out, it maybe, by such still and
formative processes as will least disturb the present work-
ing and harmony of the schools. The disposition already
shown by the body of teachers indicates a ready and en-
tire willingness "upon their part to cooperate in any sug-
gestions or plans to raise the standard of teaching or
improve the general efficiency of the schools. The short
term of my service, thus far, renders it impracticable to pre-
sent here any summary account of the details needing at-
tention or any special notice of the different grades of
schools. But it seems proper that the occasion of this Re-
port should be availed of to offer to you a few such general
39
considerations as are uppermost in my mind and as will
indicate the scope and direction of my endeavor. These
will be given rather as hints and suggestions than elaborated
into any formal essay.
CONDITION OF OUR SCHOOLS.
From personal observation and knowledge of the condi-
tion of our schools I feel justified in saying that for the
past ten or fifteen years, at least, the schools of Manches-
ter have not only been equal, if not superior, to any others
in this State, but have ranked high as compared with any
in New England. Their efficiency has generally been marked
by a thoroughness in the elementary or fundamental
studies. But during this time there has been developed
in American schools a wider and more varied range in
the studies pursued by the lower departments and not a
few " new fangled notions" in methods of teaching, which
have not all yet received the approval of the best educators.
The same restless American ambition which marks all
our enterprises has not passed by our school system.
While, in one aspect, this is extremely commendable and
helpful to progress at the same time it introduces a grave
element of danger to its usefulness. There is such a thing
as attempting to do too much. All things which make up
a complete education cannot be accomplished by the public
schools, nor does it seem advisable for them constantly to
attempt new things. This straining to embrace all has al-
ready, to some extent, impaired their usefulness as ele-
mentary schools, and this tendency, if not restrained, will
shortly load them down to such a degree as to largely di-
vert them from their main aim. They will become super-
ficial and showy rather than thorough and substantial.
This tendency is not confined to any one locality but is
widespread if not universal, and although it may not
40
apply with especial force to the schools in this city, yet it
should be watched, shaped and directed. In the quaint re-
buke of the judge to the lawyer,who over-pressed his new con-
struction of the law, "that the Court was supposed to know
something," we have an illustration of the matter discussed.
In like manner may we not safely assume that wisdom was
not wholly born with the present generation. Some of the
old ways 'are still good. This should not be lost sight
of in grasping forward for the new. As an example at
hand take the matter of
PENMANSHIP AND COMPOSITION.
With all the mechanical rules which have been adopted
and the new systems introduced, it is very questionable
whether this art is any better if so well taught at the present
time as it formerly was. I have frequently seen letters,
written by elderly persons of average ability, who had no
advantages but a few months at the district school, which,
in point of plain, legible penmanship as well as correct
spelling, clear, easy composition and general elegance of
appearance, would, I fear, surpass the letters which the
average graduate of our schools of to-day could produce.
Good penmanship is certainly one of the fundamental and
most practical acquirements. Nothing learned at school can
be more so. And while good spelling can hardly be rated
as a great credit, poor spelling is surely intolerable.
And an ability to express one's self in clear, easily under-
stood language in writing may almost be reckoned as a
scholar's cardinal virtue.
Take the matter of
MORALS AND MANNERS.
Here we would make no invidious comparisons. But to
those who are acquainted with the tone of the schools of to-
41
day, in these particulars, as compared with even twenty-
five years ago, it cannot be doubtful _that progress has not
been made.
Is there anything taught in the schools from the long
list of elaborate text-books used that can be of such
paramount importance to the pupils, or the community, aa
an inculcation of the principles of virtue and its natural
accompaniment, respectful and gentle manners ? How
many statistical facts and ologies we could well dispense
with in exchange for these.
Though sin and ignorance are usually rated an insepara-
ble pair, virtue and intelligence are not always equally
bound together. Intelligence promotes virtue but does
not insure it, and that education which at all comes near
being perfect must be broadened, so as to include in it the
moral sentiments. Virtue and good morals should be
taught in all our schools.
Who has not met " a gentleman of the old school ?"
How significant is that phrase. A calm self-respect, a pol-
ished, easy dignity of manner, a regard for authority and
for superiors, a thoughtful preference for the wishes of
others, self-constraint, an entire unselfishness — who, that
has seen these qualities united and exemplified in man or
woman was not struck with the beauty that can attach to
behavior ?
Young America knows too little of this, but nothing is
more worth knowing. Shall not our schools do something
to bring back some of the old-fashioned virtues ?
The work of the schools divides itself, at once, into two
kinds.
1. Those things which must be taught and learned.
2. Those things which may be taught and learned.
It is a strict obligation that the first class of studies be
attended to and accomplished. The second-class of studiea
42
should receive only the time and attention which remains
over for them. As in the household we must have bread
and meat, — we can get along without carpets, and, possibly
without pianos. Reading, writing and arithmetic, — the
old three R's, — are indispensable, and if to these we add
some knowledge of geography and history, and general
practice in composition, we nearly cover the imperative
pa,rt of common school education. The other studies must
be secondary, — more or less special and occasional.
These considerations are naturally called up in compar-
ing the past and present of our schools, and they lead to a
notice of a few more topics.
DRAWING AND MUSIC
Are subjects which have lately received large attention in
the New England schools. The entire absence of them in
our schools a few years since made it necessary to emplia-
size their importance upon their first introduction. This,
we think, has given them a somewhat undue prominence.
We see no reason why their elements should not generally
be taught and carried as far as time and occasion permit.
But should not these subjects be limited?
The task of making all children artists and musicians
in the public schools is an impossible one. Nor can the
average child be brought to a great degree of proficiency.
A foundation can be laid, enough done to bring out the
tendencies and tastes of those specially endowed in this
direction, as well as to give all some training of the voice
and some facility in the use of the pencil. No word should
be said in disparagement of these beautiful arts. The
singing of simple and plain songs in school adds an indis-
pensable element of cheerfulness — a most useful recrea-
tion, improving the tone and spirit of all. Drawing, as it
educates the eye and hand, is as indispensable to the arti-
43
san as to the artist. The only caution needed is not to go
too far into the ornamental and fanciful. Those who
choose to follow these pleasant paths must pursue them
outside, and work out for themselves, as individuals, the
degrees of proficiency to which their talents and energies
entitle them. For in any well-arranged plan of common
schools those studies must be kept in their secondary
place, and not be permitted to crowd out or seriously hinder
the imperative studies.
HIGH SCHOOL AND ITS COURSE OF STUDY.
The old philosopher, when questioned what the youth
should be taught, replied, " What they will practice when
they become men." The girls did not then share the ben-
efits of the ancient education. We should amend the say-
ing now : " What will be useful to men and women.''^ We
do not think the world has outgrown the wisdom of this
reply yet. A system of public schools should provide the
greatest good for the greatest number. To be sure, there are
some differences of opinion as to what practical and use-
ful studies are — which are most so, and in what degree.
But in a general way it is not hard to draw the line be-
tween the useful and the ornamental. It is in the High
school that is encountered the greatest danger of sacrific-
ing the former to the latter. Not that studies and pur-
suits which are accomplishments should be ignored, but
they should not occupy a large place in the public school.
The High school is the crown of our New England sys-
tem of education. In its place, as a public school — sup-
ported by general taxation, and closely connected with
the Grammar schools — it should retain its common and
democratic character. It is not meant for an ornamen-
tal institution for fanciful work. It is the people's col-
lege, a place for sound, useful, practical instruction,
44
rather than for ambitious and high-sounding studies. A
thorough English course would seem to be its tirst legiti-
mate aim, embracing so wide a range of general knowledge
as to graduate tolerably well-informed men and women.
Scientific studies, upon judiciously chosen subjects, to the
extent of mastering the elements, and their application to
practical life, should be somewhat prominent.
On the question of languages, ancient and modern, there
is room for discussion. There is no question but a good
deal of time is spent upon these without adequate returns.
It is exceedingly doubtful what benefit it can be to give
the majority of girls and boys a smattering of Latin and
French, for hardly more can be accomplished, unless it be
thought fashionable and therefore indispensable. The
study of French, if the language could be mastered, would
be an acquisition to those who could afford to give it the
necessary time. The study of Latin and Greek, while use-
ful as a necessary preparation for college, to those who will
pursue them in a thorough and extended course, can hardly
be regarded as useful and popular studies. It is nothing
but a superficial knowledge of any of these languages that
the majority of High-school children ever obtain. Super-
ficial knowledge of anything is often worse than entire ig-
norance. It begets an unwarranted confidence and often a
ridiculous conceit, and is the source of every sort of error.
Superficial studies make superficial habits, and such habits
make like character. It was doubtless this the poet had
in mind when he pronounced " a little learning a danger-
ous thing." And here, again, enters the consideration,
are ornamental and fanciful studies, or those which are
not in the direct line of a plain, substantial education, such
as make the possessor a more va^luable member of the
community, to be pursued at the public expense? We
think they must be classed as luxuries rather than neces-
sities, and as such, should they not be paid for by those
45
who choose to enjoy them ? As an example in point, how
often is more than half the time of the principal of a High
school, numbering two or tliree hundred pupils, occupied
in the ancient languages, preparing five or six boys for
college ? A bare statement of the matter sufficiently in-
dicates its inequality and injustice, and suggests the in-
quiry whether some improvement would not be in order.
By any order of studies which is at all thorough, and
division of classes adapted to a moderately-large corps of
instructors, it would seem best that promotions to the
High school, and corresponding graduations, should occur
not oftener than annually. This is in accordance with a
nearly-universal custom based upon experience. This
leaves the whole year uninterrupted for the regular school
work, and seems the more convenient in every view.
In making these comments it should be clearly under-
stood that they are general and not meant to reflect upon
our High school. This school has been for many years
under the principalship of very able teachers, and stands
relatively very high, and is only open to such obvious criti-
cisms as hold against the system, wherever it exists.
TEACHERS.
The well-known couplet which pronounces that system
of government the best which is best administered, is an
epigrammatic statement of one side of the truth. But it
puts a just emphasis on the proper and efficient methods of
doing things which have been laid out and planned to be
done. In any school system administration holds an equally
important place. The best contrived and most promis-
ing plans, on paper, need brains, skill and energy to make
them successful in practice. The best machinery is often
that which is simplest. To work up an elaborate and com-
plex system, with vast details — to set it forth in many and
46
high-sounding words — launching it with a flourish, and ex-
pecting it to educate our children, is the vainest sort of ex-
pectation. Words are cheap and much talk is often a bore,
and high sounding discussion of theories diverts from the
main business in hand. The simplest and plainest terms
in which a scheme of schools can be defined, made clear and
intelligible, is the best. And when that is done, its suc-
cess will depend almost wholly upon the efficiency of the
teacher. They are the true motive power. Given an incom-
petent superintendent and an indifferent committee, and
good teachers and the schools are yet safe. The time-hon-
ored maxim, "as is the teacher so is the school," is the sum
of wisdom in this matter. Good teachers cannot produce
poor schools. It thus becomes of transcendent importance
always to secure the best qualified and most efficient teach-
ers ; not instructors, merely, but high-minded men and
women. Character begets like character, and the influ-
ence of one good teacher is incalculable. No considerations
of a mistaken economy, no claims of friendship, or demands
for local patronage or undue partiality for '.'home talent,"
should ever influence in the choice of inferior teachers.
Every mistake made in this quarter is vital and lowers the
tone of the whole body of teachers. It has been said that
a minister can always tell whether or not he has a call to
preach by finding out if the people have a call to come and
hear. Teaching requires genius of its kind no less than
preaching. A certain class are endowed for it by nature,
born "apt to teach." They possess tact, and what has been
called the "divine art of explanation." It is not all those
who know enough, or have been graduated and trained even,
or who are ambitious, or compelled to earn a livelihood, who
can expect to succeed as teachers. A winning disposition
that enlists the confidence and fixes the affections of the
pupils is much, but even this sometimes exists without
other substantial qualifications, and is itself, a quality so
47
popular, tliat it may detract attention from real defects.
If a hi^h standard is to be maintained, merit of candidates
alone must determine their selection. Let it be under-
stood that the best will always win the positions, wholly
regardless of circumstances, and then talented and well-qual-
ified candidates will not be wanting. Other things being
equal, — but they must be equal, — home talent may justly be
preferred. But if it is once understood that location is in
itself a qualification, and will be weighed, the moral force
of merit is completely broken down.
The importance of this subject justifies these remarks.
They are not intended as a criticism but a caution. The
tendency alluded to is so insidious, and so many and such
plausible arguments, well intended, lead so unconsciously
in this wrong direction, that it seemed wise to consider
where the direction itself leads. Valuable as is our owa
Training school to our young ladies and to the city, it
should be distinctly understood that its graduates hold na
pre-emption of rights to places in our schools, but must
prove themselve.s the equals, if not the superiors, of any in
the State who may be invited to compete for the positions.
It is, on the whole, with just pride that we can point to
a corps of faithful and well-qualified teachers in this city.
The liberal salaries paid, the desirableness of Manchester
as a place of residence, and its commanding position as
the first city in the State, combine to centre here the best
teaching talent. We are frequently called upon to con-
tribute of our stock to the flourishing cities of a neighbor-
ing State, who can offer higher prizes thaji we, but we
have generally been fortunate in keeping up a high stan-
dard by drawing from our original sources, — one of the
products of New Hampshire, — able men and women.
PRIMARY TEACHING.
The greatest teachers the world has produced have not
considered it beneath their dignity to teach little children.
48
This indicates the importance which the best minds have
attached to this period in education. The notion that any-
body can teach a Primary school has been exploded, and
it is here that we now seek to place the most skillful in-
structors. " Well begun is half done" applies with spe-
cial force in a child's education. The first steps are all
important. Here at the foundation how readily the course
of the stream is turned one way or another. How easily
first impressions are gained, — and how lasting their influ-
ence.
While in ordinary public Primary schools it has been
debated whether or not it is best to adopt, in all their full-
ness, the Kindergarten and object, method plans, of which
so much has been said and written, these discussions have
been fruitful of many useful hints and suggestions. The
live teacher will readily avail himself of these ideas as
means to interest the children and render the school rou-
tine less tedious. More progress has been made in meth-
ods of primary teaching in the past few years than in other
departments of teaching. But they all dralv more or less
on the resources and skill of the teacher. With poor
teachers they avail nothing, and had better not be at-
tempted by them.
The mention of improvement in methods leads us to
say that there is still too much mere
ROTE TEACHING.
The prejudice of old habits with those who have long
taught, the inability to do better of new candidates who
are minus the gift to teach, the somewhat rigid and com-
plicated machinery of a graded system, all tend to make
the work of teaching more or less mechanical. Memoriz-
ing lessons and reciting them by rote in answer to set
questions is not wholly gone out of use. The prime fault
49
with this method is, that it is not teaching at all, but a
poor and pernicious substitute for it. Some studies must
be memorized, it is true, but they need explanation and
illustration, to be thoroughly understood ; the thought
needs to be assimilated, that living ideas may be conveyed.
Words that should be freighted with ideas, are often as
empty as husks to the pupils who devour them. For in-
stance, how many dry details of geography and history
are compaitted to memory, as a lifeless mass of disconnect-
ed facts — which signify nothing. They are learned with-
out an intelligent, underlying purpose, learned for the day
and forgotten to-morrow. This blind exercise, pursued in
this aimless way, does not even strengthen the faculty of
memory. On the other hand, it is the chief stimulant to
the worst of all habits, — the habit of forgetting. So great
is this evil, that a re-action has set in from some quarters,
threatening the total disuse of text-books, or the use of
such only as cannot be used for rote processes. But the
better opinion seems to be, the right use of the right books,
going to neither extreme. But another thing, tending to
perpetuate this evil, is faulty methods of examination.
And in a system of graded schools no problem is so diffi-
cult to deal with as that of
EXAMINATIONS AND PROMOTIONS.
Much stress is laid upon examinations by many educa-
tors. They would have them ft-equent and constant, rigid
and severe. All schools, and classes, and pupils, must be
tested by a never-varying rule. From these, one would
think that a system of schools could be examined into a
state of perfection. In my opinion, nothing can more seri-
ously hinder and destroy all proper freedom in teaching,
or more constrain the individual development of the pu-
pils, and injure the healthy condition of school-work, gen-
4
50
erally, than this sort of examinations. They will extract
the principle of life and growth from any school, and de-
base it to the level of a machine or mill. To successfully
prepare examinations becomes the end of all the work
done, — teachers and pupils alike, if they would maintain
their standing, must think of nothing else.
It also introduces into the school a spirit of unrest and
anxiety, — a feverish condition which detracts from the ner-
vous energy and working-power of all concerned. It im-
plies a wholly wrong notion of the object and end of school-
life, and narrows its aim, where it should be broadened, —
working only for the result of to-morrow, instead of for the
whole of one's after life.
At a recent meeting of the American Health Association,
in Baltimore, a paper was read on the increase of nervous
diseases among school children, which pronounced, very
strongly, against unwise and undue stimulation in school
studies, — especially for girls. The sort of examination
above alluded to, would, doubtless, come under the ban in
this opinion just named.
But the right sort of examinations are certainly neces-
sary, and just as beneficial as the wrong sort are hurtful.
Nowhere in school-work is so much care and skill needed
as just here. They should generally be made by topics and
subjects, and not conformed to any book. They should not
be made too formal, — and not too frequent. They should
be framed and shaped, and given under such circum-
stances as to relieve the pupils from all embarrassment, as
far as possible, and enable them to do and show their best
work. And it should be understood that the pupils will
not alone be judged by the results of any single trial, but
that the term records — for the careful keeping of which, ac-
cording to a uniform standard, the teachers should be held
responsible — will enter largely into all questions of promo-
tion, or the reverse.
51
It ishardly too much to say^ that the method in which exam-
inations are conducted will determine the quality and amount
of work done in the schools.
As an indication of the difference in the two kinds of
teaching, it is a subject of common remark among wise ob-
servers, that those who pass the best examinations upon
entering a High school or a college, are nearly always out-
stripped and left behind in the course by those who have
had, as a preparation, less special drill or cramming, but
more broad and general instruction.
READING.
The first subject taught in the Primary school, and often
the last in the High school, is reading. Its range is wide.
Beginning with a mere acquaintance with the names of
words, so to speak, it ends with an ability to express
thoughts as set forth in words. From the lowest form it
reaches to the highest and most artistic. In one stage of
progress or another it engages no small share of the pupil's
school-hours. It is of the higher form that I would here say
a word. No one who has listened to fine readings, (and who
has not ?), but will confess to its wonderful power. It is
an art as much as that of music, and has a charm for all
who listen. While all cannot become artistic readers,
much can easily be done in this direction by intelligent
teaching, and all without giving any more time than is usu-
ally devoted to this branch. The liberality of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, John B. Clarke, Esq., in offering prizes for
the second time to the High school for excellence in elocu-
tion, is highly creditable, and indicates the importance
which the more thoughtful members of our community at-
tach to this branch of education. Nothing more betrays
true culture than the manner of using the voice in reading
and speaking. The gentle voice, which Shakspeare so
52
commends hi woman, indicates character. In this connec-
tion I may be permitted to quote from the last very able
Report of Superintendent Philbrick of Boston : "Through the
instrumentality of vocal training, applied to expressive
reading, a real culture is now very generally diffused among
the pupils of our schools. The culture is physical, intel-
lectual, moral and sesthetic, and it is altogether refining and
elevating. If you have taken an ignorant, rude boy, — a
veritable ' unlicked cub,' — and drilled him up to the read-
ing of a classic piece with expression, you have taken out
of him forever a great deal of his barbarism." But let not
the proper use of the voice begin or end with reading. Let
it pervade all conversation, all recitation, or vocal exer-
cise of whatever kind. It is said the Yankee is recognized
the world over by the tones of his voice ; that he speaks
through his nose and not through his mouth. Let the
training which our schools give correct all this, as they may,
in time, and in place of coarse, harsh, nasal tones, give our
children the clear, gentle, musical speech, so excellent and
so much prized. And here the teacher must be the living
force, teaching constantly by example.
Although this Report has already exceeded the length laid
out for it, there is one other topic about which a few words,
must be said.
HEALTH AND VENTILATION.
Good mental work cannot be accomplished without a
fair degree of bodily health. While so much is expected
of our schools, and every device invented to help them, it
should be seen to that no hindrance comes in their way.
All the conditions should be made the most favorable.
Much has been said upon preserving and maintaining the
health of school children. But as the chief desire is " a
sound mind in a sound body," and as the former depends-
53
for its condition upon the latter, why should not the aim
be not merely to preserve, but to improve the health and
strength of the body, as well as to discipline, enlarge and
inform the mind. But I fear that this is not only not con-
sidered, but that the negative duty of seeing that the body
receives no injury is too often neglected.
The four chief factors contributing to the sum of perfect
bodily health are, wholesome food, pure air, proper exer-
cise, and sufficient rest. In this matter our schools should
be held responsible for two things :
1. They should impart such elementary physiological
knowledge, suited to the different grades, as to render the
pupils well-informed on all the common and familiar prin-
ciples governing bodily health. They should see to it that
none of the mistakes made in this connection should have
the excuse of ignorance. Were this always faithfully done,
how much suffering and disease could readily be prevented.
And what, of all that is done in the schools, could be more
directly practical ?
2. It should be seen to that, so far as the exercises and
routine of the schools are concerned, none of these well-
known principles are violated or disregarded.
A few years ago gymnastics in school were the fashiona-
ble thing. This is very well as teaching a proper position
and carriage of the body, and as giving its different parts
due expansion and freedom. But hearty, out-door play, in
pure air, for general exercise, is worth more than all the
gymnastics ever invented.
In this age of science and its practical application to the
arts of life, there is still one problem which remains but
partially solved. How can rooms occupied by large num-
bers of persons for a considerable space of time, to whose
well-being fresh air is constantly necessary, be sufficiently
supplied with it ? Innumerable devices have been adopted
for the ventilation of school-rooms, but none of them ap-
pear yet to be uniformly successful.
54
A recent careful scientific investigation, under the di-
rection of the city Board of Health in Boston, of the actual
condition of the air in the average school-room of the city,
during the school-hours in the cold season, where the build-
ings are certainly as good as any in the country, disclosed
the fact that in many cases the air was far below the
proper standard of purity, and in none was it fully up to
the standard. The school-rooms in this city are probably
no better N^entilated, to say the least.
The able Report in which the results of this investiga-
tion are set forth in detail, is a most valuable contribution
to school hygiene, and well worthy our attention. It deals
with facts as determined by exact science, and not with
theories and speculations, and hence its authority must
stand unquestioned. In the rooms examined, it states that
there are a great variety of appliances for ventilation and
warming, and they included in their survey the oldest and
the most recently constructed school buildings. The re-
sult, on the whole, appears to show that no great benefit
was derived from the special ventilating appliances, and
the diiference between the older and more modern build-
ings was not such as would have been expected.
They say that the working of the ventilators is largely
subject to the conditions of the weather, and needs con-
stant and intelligent supervision. The doors and windows,
in nearly all instances, were largely depended upon,
for the su|)ply of pure air. In the warm season, therefore,
through these means, ventilation is -an easy problem ; it is
only when artificial heat becomes necessary, especially in
mid-winter, that it becomes so difficult a one. " The ques-
tion of temperature is intimately related to that of venti-
lation ; indeed, it is impossible, in this climate, to dis-
associate the two subjects. The atmosphere must not only
be pure, but measurably warm, as a condition requisite for
health, as well as comfort. The temperature which may
55
be regarded as a reasonable standard for the warmth of
school-rooms, must be fixed somewhat arbitrarily, and
measured by a reliable thermometer. It should range from
65° to 70° Fahrenheit, When the body is in a state of
rest it is impossible to work the brain to advantage in a
temperature much below 65°, and if it is much above 70°
it becomes depressing."
The rooms were often found too hot. It calls attention
to a practice probably not confined to Boston, namely, the
too sudden cooling off of over-heated rooms, hy widely operied
windotvs, and says, " If anything is worse than too much
heat it is a quick transition to the opposite extreme. In
such cases an inevitable wave of cold, outside air, sweeps
over the uncovered heads of the children, and a fresh ac-
cession of cases of bronchitis and pulmonary affections is
the result."
It instances a case observed, where, in a few minutes, in
this manner, the temperature of a room examined was
lowered 15°, at a very great risk to the health of the occu-
pants.
It has been said that a person needs a liberal education
and a special training in technology, to properly superintend
the warming of a modern city dwelling ,with all its applian-
ces for gas-lighting, water-supplying, drainage, heating and
ventilating. Certain it is, that a knowledge of many prin-
ciples, and the tact of practical experience, joined with an
ever-watchful care, are required to surround our school
children with such favoring conditions of health as will best
enable them to perform the mental tasks they are expected
to accomplish.
CONCLUSION.
As mentioned at the beginning, the topics here pre-
sented are rather touched upon than thoroughly discussed,
56
and there are still others that would bear naming. The
views thrown out are intended to show, in a general way,
how the field of labor appears to me, at my entrance
upon it. Though much has been accomplished for our
schools, much yet remains to be done. Though our sys-
tem is substantially sound and working well, only de-
voted and unremitting care will maintain the stand-
ard already attained. But with this alone we must not
be satisfied, — that standard should be advanced still high-
er. To this work, while occupying this office, holding it as
a trust from the people of this city, through you, their im-
mediate representatives, I shall devote my best energies.
Under your judicious direction, may my work be fruitful, to
some extent, of beneficial results.

EEPOET OP THE BOAED OF HEALTH.
Your Board of Health have devoted much time in the
past year in looking after this department and the sani-
tary condition of the city.
I trust some improvement has been made in this direc-
tion.
SMALL-POX.
This loathsome disease made its appearance in our city
on the 24th of March, on Manchester Street, in a Canadian
family.
Your Board of Health acted promptly on its first discov-
ery by removing the entire family to the Pest-House. It
was thought advisable to vaccinate all of the school child-
ren in the Manchester-Street school that had not received
the same, this school being the place where the children
went that belong to the family we had removed to the Pest-
House.
Drs. Canney and Tremblay commenced the work, and
found attending at this school eighty-eight scholars that
were not protected from small-pox by recent vaccination.
The new building erected for this purpose in 1874 was
a place long needed to make patients comfortable with
this much-dreaded disease. From the 24th of March until
the 13th day of May twenty patients were treated for
small pox, three of which proved fatal.
64
In addition to this number fifteen persons, members of
various families where the disease was discovered, were
also carried to the hospital as a measure for the public
safety, to prevent contagion.
The comparatively small number of deaths is believed to
be due, in a great measure, to the admirable interior ar-
rangement of the hospital, such as ventilation, the frequent
change of bed-clothing, diet, and the cleanly condition of
the rooms.
Too much praise cannot be rendered to the matron, Miss
Judith Sherer, who has performed her duties in the most
faithful manner. Some repairs have been made the present
season to the buildings, rendered necessary from the hur-
ried manner of its construction.
It is deemed necessary by the Board of Health that a
small building should be erected, as soon as time will per-
mit, for the purpose of a wash-room, and also as a place
where the bed-clothing and infected clothing can be thor-
oughly cleansed, the means now in use for this purpose
within the hospital being entirely useless and inadequate.
We would say, in conclusion, that all of the cases of small-
pox have occurred in families that have recently come from
Canada.
A certain proportion of the foreign population are care-
less about vaccination, and when sick with small-pox con-
ceal, if possible, the nature of their disease. And to pre-
vent the spread of this'disease, we would urge every citizen
to see that all persons in his employ have the protection of
vaccination.
CATTLE DISEASE.
About the first of June parties by the name of Dillon
and McArtey commenced the sale of Texas cattle in
Manchester, also herding the same in Bakersville. Soon
65
after one of the citizens in that district, W. W. Baker, lost
one of his cows bj sickness tliat he was unable to account
for. In a few days another was reported dead, and sick-
ness continued until seven of the cows died in Bakersville.
Your Board of Health were satisfied that the disease origi-
nated from the Texas cattle, and immediately notified
Messrs. Dillon and McArtev not to import any more into
the city.
Your Board of Health invited Drs. How and French to
be present and assist in a post-mortem examination of one
of the cases. They were present and Dr. How has kindly
furnished me an article giving his views of the disease,
which I furnish in this Report as I received it from him.
D. A. SIMONS, ) Board
R. J. P. GOODWIN, V of
P. A. DEYINE, ) Health.
To the Board of Health of the City of Manchester :
Gentlemex : — Having been requested to consult with you in
reference to the cause of the disease destroying the cows of several
of our citizens in the Bakersville district, and to determine what
should be doue to prevent the spread of the malady, I respectfully
submit the folUowing :
I have not seen any of the cows during their sickness, but have
taken notes of the symptoms in all the cases from owners or eye-
witnesses. The symptoms in every case correspond to those of
what is known as splenic or Texas fever — a scourge which has not
hitherto appeared in this region, but which has, at times, committed
ravages among the cattle of the Middle and Western States.
The cows attacked were taken suddenly sick and grew rapidly
worse, showing signs of great prostration at the very first onset
of the disease, their drooping heads, staggering gait and difficult
breathing indicating some terribly-malignant blood-poison.
They died in from two to five days fi'om the first manifestation
of any sickness, and their owners and others were naturally suspi-
cious that the}^ had been poisoned by some malicious person.
In company with your Board I saw a 'post-mortem examination
of one of the worst cases. The blood was found to be disorijan-
ized, and the spleen, lungs, liver and kidneys deeply congested.
These are the appearances found after death from splenic fever.
This disease is peculiar in that its germs either do not attain
their full development in the Texas steer, or else the Texan is, by
climatic or some other agency, protected from them. The Texas
steer is supposed to obtain these germs from the dry grasses of the
South. They may remain latent in the system while he is feeding
on the plains of the West, and even when he comes to the Eastern
States he may apparently be in good health. But yet he is the
carrier of a deadly germ which, escaping by his breath or dis-
charges upon the grass, may be taken up by a Northern cow that
happens to graze along the same road, and undergo so rapid a de-
velopment in a few days in her system^ as to disorganize her
blood and destroy her life.
In its malignancy and in the changes it induces in the system
this blood-poison resembles that of some of the diseases of man,
such as black measles, black small-pox and malignant scarlet fever,
which destroy the blood and engorge the internal organs with it ;
but there is no infectious disease peculiar to man which exactly
resembles this in its mode of propagation, although it occurs to me
that it may be compared to the fungous disease known as the rust,
which attains one form of its development on the barberry bush
(and perhaps on some other plant), and the second and most
deadly one in the blight that destroys the growing wheat. The
rust has been destroyed by cutting down the barberry bushes, and
if we would save our stock from contagion we must have the
Texas cattle killed before they are brought here.
The frosts of the coming winter will kill all the germs of the dis-
ease that have been deposited here, and we shall see no more of it
until there is another importation from the West or South.

EEPOET OF THE CHIEF ENGINEEE.
Engineer's Office, December 31, 1875.
jTo His Honor the Mayor, and Gentlemen of the City Councils:
Gentlemen : — In compliance with the City Ordinances
for the protection of the city of Manchester from fire, I
have the honor to herewith submit to your honorable body
the Annual Report of the condition and affairs of the Man-
-chester Fire Department for the year ending December 31,
1875, with a statement of its labors performed during the
year, and other matters relative to its efficiency. Tliis has
been a very unfortunate year for promptness in extinguish-
ing the fires which have occurred, on account, as you will
notice by the location of the fires, of most of them having
been in the outskirts of the city, where it has been very
■difficult to obtain water, and also requiring great exertion
on the part of the members and teams to get the apparatus
to the fire in season to accomplish anything in the way of
extinguishing the flames.
The effective force of the department consists of 119
officers and men, and 9 horses, which are divided as follows :
1 Chief Engineer ; 4 Assistant Enghieers.
4 Steam Fire Engines — 14 men each and 6 horses,
1 Hook and Ladder Truck — 30 men and 1 horse.
1 Horse Hose-Carriage — 15 men and 1 horse.
1 Four-Wheeled Hand Hose-Carriage — 12 men.
1 Supply Wa^on — 1 man and 1 horse. ,
68
2 Two-Wheeled Hose-Carriages, one of which is located at
P. C. Cheney & Co/s Paper-Mill, at Amoskeag, and the
other at Goffe's Falls. These carriages are manned hj
men employed at the works where they are located.
The department shows an increase of 10 men over the-
previous year, which is accounted for by the addition of the
Horse Hose-Carriage and increasing the company of No.
3 Engine to a full complement of men.
During the year just ended there have been 29 fires and
false alarms. Among the most destructive was the burning
of the Granite Flour Mill at Piscataquog, which was-
nearly all destroyed before the department could get to it,
owing to the distance which the apparatus had to be drawn.
Also, the fires at P. C. Cheney & Co.'s Paper Mill at Amos-
keag ; and the burning of Col. Waterman Smith's house on
the hill, where the department labored under great disad-
vantages, being obliged to force the water through 1800
feet of hose and up a very steep grade ; and others of a
lesser magnitude will be found in the list of fires annexed
hereto.
It is with pleasure that I am able to report that not a
member of tlie department has lost his life while in the
discharge of his duties as fireman, neither has any member
of the department been injured to any extent during the
year.

Hydrants on west side, 40
Total, 271
77
These provide the thickly-settled part of the city with
an ample supply of water for any ordinary fire, and will be
sufficient for a long time to come. During the year the
water-pipes have been extended to Piscataquog, and sup-
ply a want that has long been felt in that section ; also,
through several parts of the city, as shown by the report
of the Water Commissioners ; and with all the extensions
hydrants have been placed where needed. But I would
recommend that there be a still further extension of
water-workSj so as to protect that portion of the city
known as Bakersville, as they are now practically without
water for fire purposes. Some two years ago there was a
reservoir commenced at Bakersville, but owing to some
difficulty with the land owners it never was completed. I
would also remind you of the necessity of furnishing some
supply of water to that section of the city at the north
end of Elm street, as at the present time there is no water
except what little runs into Ray Brook, which is very diffi-
cult of access and has but little in it most of the year.
And, gentlemen, I would especially call your attention
to the need of more hose for the department. I would re-
commend that at least 2,000 feet of leather-hose be bought
the next year, as at the present time neither the Pennacook
nor the Massabesic Hose Companies have spare hose enough
to make up a reel after wetting that which they go to a
fire with, and it is quite essential that the reels should be
at all times kept full, as it is impossible to tell when it
may all be needed.
I would also recommend that 2,000 feet of linen-hose be
purchased and kept in re.serve ; in case of a conflagration
it would doubly repay the outlay, iuid I tliink with the
present Water- Works in order this amount of hose would
be of more service to the city than any amount of help
which might reasonably be expected from outside, as most
of our hydrants will furnish good streams without the use
of an engine.
78
I would also recommend that the petition asking for
a hose-carriage, to be drawn by hand, and located at the
south end, near Elm street, be granted, as there is now a
very large amount? of combustible material in the various
work-shops in that section and, as I have before mentioned,
I think that more hose is what is needed— more than
anything else in the department. In two instances during
the year the department has used all of the hose carried
on the apparatus on this side of the river, and in one of
the above-mentioned all that is carried by No. 3 Engine of
Piscataquog, and most of the spare hose in the Houses.
And in this connection I would say, the city owns a light
four-wheeled hose-carriage, that is not in use, which would
answer every purpose for some time to come ; therefore, '
the expense could not be great by granting the petition.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department is in as good working or-
der as can be, but allow me in this connection to call your at-
tention to the Steam Fire Engine No. 1, which has been in
constant service for sixteen years and must necessarily be
drawing very near to the time when it will have to be thrown
out of service. This is the first Steam Fire Engine built by
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, and has been a
very faithful servant for the city. I think it is the oldest en-
gine in use in the country, and I would recommend that the
next year a new engine, of a smaller size, be bought and
placed in her house and she placed on the retired list as a re-
serve engine, to be used in case of any accident to either of
the other engines or in case of a large fire where more are
needed, as the amount to be realized from the sale would
be very small, and the time may come when it would pay
good interest to keep her as a reserve.
The new horse hose-carriage, which has been put into
79
service this year, has proved to be a very essential arm of
service to the department as it can be handled much
quicker and easier by a horse than by hand. And in this
connection, gentlemen, allow me to call your attention to
the propriety of putting another horse hose-carriage in the
place of No. 3 Engine of Piscataquog, as I think a hose-
carriage with a permanent horse would be far more effect-
ive, with the present system of hydrants, than an engine,
the horses kept at a distance ; and the horse might do the
street-work in a prescribed section without in any way in-
terfering with its efficiency. I suppose this proposition
will meet with opposition. Some may argue that the hy-
drants are not extended enough to do away with the en-
gine. One reason why I think a change would be benefi-
cial is that in almost all cases the engines from this side
can get to the fire over there as quick as that engine, and if
the fire is distant from the hydrant the hose carriage which
I recommend in connection with the engine from this side
would be of far more service tlian that engine without suf-
ficient hose to reach the fire, and a horse hose-carriage
will not require any additional number of men to the de-
partment.
During the year the Hook-and-Ladder Truck has been
arranged so as to be drawn by a horse, furnished by the
courtesy of His Honor the Mayor, which is something of an
improvement over being obliged to draw it by hand, as our
city at the present is altogether too extended to expect men
to draw the truck to a fire, at a distance, and be of much
service after getting there. As the old buildings have
been removed from the lot bought for that purpose, and as
I suppose it is the intention to build a new stable so as to
accommodate all of the horses needed for the department at
that place, I would recommend that the Hook-and-Ladder
Company ])e reduced from thirty to twenty men, and in so
doing I would abolish the fire-police, as I tliink the duty be-
80
longs to the Police Department, and I would recommend
that the City Marshal be instructed to detail a given number
of special police to guard the ropes at all fires where it is
necessary to have them run, and also to take charge of the
ruins and other property that may need care, until such time
as the owners can take possession of the same. And this
number of men which I propose to take from the Hook-and-
Ladder Company would be sufficient to man the new hose-
carriage which has been spoken of before.
And, gentlemen, I have recommended some radical
changes, and such as will probably call forth some extrava-
gant expressions, but as I have been connected with the
department the last year I can but think that hose and
hose-carriages are what is the most needed, and by mak-
ing the changes which I recommend you will not increase
the expense of membership, but will, on the other hand^
decrease, as the expense of a hose-carriage is not as much
as the expense of an engine.
BUILDINGS.
In regard to the buildings for the department that are lo-
cated on Vine Street, they are not what the most of us had
wished for. At the beginning of the year it looked as if
we might have a house to accomodate that part of the de-
partment located on Vine Street, but for reasons best
known to you the year has gone by without any progress
worthy of note. And, gentlemen, I think if you would
take it into consideration you would see the necessity of
immediately taking some steps towards covering land
bought by -the city last year. The tenements occupied by
the drivers are not what we should want to be obliged ta
live in, and the stables are almost unfit to keep horses in
for want of ventilation. And, lastly, in connection with the
old house, allow me to call your attention to the store-room
81
for coal which the engines use. It is located in the extreme
north-east corner of the cellar and the entrance to it in
the extreme south-east corner, and between the door and
store-room are stored all kinds of collections of the Street
Department. Once during the year we were obliged in
the night to move carts, plows and lime casks before the
fuel could be got at, and when it appeared we had a
large fire to contend with and the engines calling for fuel,
but by divine Providence, more than by the facilities, was
the fire stayed. I refer to the fire at the corner of Am-
herst and Vine Streets. I presume the most of you will
remember it, and I can but feel it my duty to impress upon
your honorable body the necessity of making some better
provisions for this very essential part of the service. It is
quite an easy matter to build a new school-house ; why not
try a new engine-house.
FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
The fire alarm telegraph continues to give entire satis-
faction as a very important arm of the service, but in con-
nection with the alarm I think we are apt to think it too
near perfect. We must remember that it is machinery,
and like all other, liable to get out of order ; and like a boy
with a new whistle, instead of keeping it secret he tells
everybody about it. I think, however, we ought to be satis-
fied with the working of it during the year. A new bell-
striker has been placed at the Ash-street school-house, also
one new box at the corner of Amherst and Belmont Streets.
THE firemen's RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
The association has been very fortunate during tlie year,
having been called upon but twice to pay a benefit, once
to Captain Jahies F. Pherson, of No. 2, who was injured
the previous year, as given in the last report, and once
6
82
to George H. Porter, of the Hook-and-Ladder Company,
which was caused by cutting his hand while on fire-duty
and causing him to be kept from work a few days. The
whole amount paid as above was $63.00 ; leaving in the
Merrimack River Savings Bank a surplus of $755.14.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I would most cordially extend to His
Honor, the Mayor, my thanks for the many personal kind-
nesses which he has shown me, and for the interest he has
at all times taken in the work of the department, and to the
City Councils and Committee of Fire Department, for the
promptness with which they have given the necessary aid
to maintain the efficiency of the department ; and to the
citizens, for the many kindnesses which they are ever will-
ing to extend to the firemen while in the discharge of their
duties. And more especially to the Police Department,
under the efficient management of the Marshal and Assist-
ant Marshal, for the prompt and effective service which
they have at all times given to the department.
The discipline of the department, I can safely say, was
never better than at the present time ; and to my Assistant
Engineers, the foremen of the different companies, and all
of the men in the department, I wish to express my thanks
for the prompt and faithful response to all duty, and the
strict obedience to all orders, and I trust that in the re-
maining short portion of my term of office as Chief En-
gineer, our city may be spared the visitation of the de-
vouring element.

INSTRUCTIONS TO KEY-HOLDERS AND CITIZENS.
1. Upon the discovery of a fire, notice should be imme-
diately communicated to the nearest alarm box, keys to
"which are in the hands of all regular police, also of the
persons designated by the card on each box.
2. Key-holders, upon the discovery or positive infor-
mation of a fire, will unlock the box, pull the hook down
•once as far as they can (without jerking), and then let
go. Shut the door and remove the key.
3. All persons giving fire-alarms are requested to re-
main by the box a moment and if no clicking is heard in
the box pull again ; if you still hear no clicking go to the
next nearest box and give the alarm from that.
4. Never signal for a fire seen at a distance. Never
touch the box except to give an alarm of fire. Be sure the
box is locked before leaving it. Give an alarm for no
<5ause other than an actual fire. Do not give an alarm for
a chimney fire.
5. Never let the keys go out of your possession unless
called for by the Chief Engineer. If you change your
residence or place of business where the keys are kept, re-
turn the key to the same ofiicer.
6. Owners and occupants of buildings are requested to
inform themselves of the location of the alarm boxes near
their property, also the places where the keys are kept.
Be sure the alarm is promptly and properly given.
7. Alarms will be sounded upon all the fire bells in the
city, and the number of a box will be given four times for an
alarm.
96
8. One stroke of the bells and gongs given by the En-
gineer in charge during a fire will be the signal to dis-
charge all companies remaining at their engine-houses.
Two strokes of the bells and gongs at a fire will be a sig-
nal for the department to limber up.
The Engineers reserve the right to give one stroke of
the bells at any time, and in case of testing the boxes each,
test will be preceded by one stroke of the bells.

work, took charge March 1, 1875.
Previous to this time the work had been under the
charge of Col. Fanning, the former engineer.
Herewith is presented a compiled statement of the ele-
vation of the water in Massabesic Lake this present year,
as compared with the height in former years.

CANAL.
The water was drawn out of the canal June 6, and the
sides and bottom were found to be in better condition than
was anticipated. The portion that was out of water, owing
to the action of frost, was somewhat ragged, but has since
been sloped.
Loam has been carted on to the south side and grass-seed
sown, but in order to get the bank well grassed over it
should be top-dressed and put in good order.
The north slope on the north bank washed out in a few
places, which have been filled in again. This side of the
103
canal should be loamed and grassed, and a stone wall built
next to the pasture.
There has been a ditch dug and rubbled from the end of
the canal to the new highway, and a good fence wall built
on the line. A sewer or culvert is needed, from the
highway to the brook, and this should be built next sum-
mer.
The penstock is in good condition and has needed no re-
pairs.
PUMPING STATION.
This has been under the charge of C. C. Cole, who also
has had the immediate charge of the canal, dam, reservoir,
and the lands adjoining, which belong to the city.
New wheels were put in the first of June, and while the
work was being done the city was supplied mostly from the
Amdskeag Company's reservoir, who run their pumps for
the city two weeks. The wheels were tested by Col. Sam-
uel Webber, and herewith is presented a statement of the
tests made :
104
Dynamometrical tests made on a Jonval Turbine, working under higli pressure ;
also, measurements of actual delivery of water from two sets of pumps propelled by-
said Turbine, constructed for the city of Manchester, N. H., by the Geyelin depart-
ment of the firm of R. D. Wood & Co., Philadelphia.

The 'past year the city has pumped for the Amoskeag
Company till the first day of October, except two weeks in
June.
On the first of September the gate to the Company's res-
ervoir was closed, and the water pumped directly into their
pipe through the month of September. October 1st the
Company began to run their pumps, and the water was
shut off from their pipe. A considerable quantity of water
was wasted in the months of Noveml^er and December on
account of the leaks on the extensions.
The following table shows the amount pumped each
month :

THE SUPPLY AND FORCE MAIN.
These are now in good condition ; the most trouble has
been had with that part of the force main which was laid
through the Dickey swamp, and if it should again need re-
107
pairing it will be necessary to lay over about one hundred
feet with cast-iron pipe.
The building of Cohas Avenue will be a great advantage
in taking care of this part of the pipe, making it easier to
get at, besides draining the wet places.
RESERVOIR.
The reservoir remains in good condition. There ought
to be a fence built to keep cattle off of the banks, and the
grounds about should be graded and properly laid down to
grass.
The city has built the street south of the reservoir ; the
one on the east side will probably be built during the year.
DISTRIBUTION PIPES.
The pipes that were laid previous to this year appear to
be in good condition at the present time.
There have been, during the past season, one hundred
leaks, including those in the main line, which have been
repaired under the direction of John Conway, Mr. Norman's
agent. Except in a very few instances frost or some
defective service pipe was the cause.
About two hundred feet of pipe on Concord street, above
Maple, will have to be laid over, on account of cutting dowu
the grade of the street.
Nearly five and one-quarter miles of pipe have been laid
the past year, at the expense of 142,057.22.
The contract for the work was given to George H. Nor-
man, he being the lowest bidder, and work was commenced
the first of A\igust.
The substance of the contract was that he should lay the
pipe in " 'Squog," including the cast-iron main from Elm
across the river, for the sum of -126,500, the city to find
gates and hydrants.
108
Other extensions by the foot were to be made at the fol-
lowing prices :

Under his contract the extensions on Elm, Yalley, Wil-
low, Wilson and Auburn streets were laid.
It was thought best to extend the pipes on Laurel, Mer-
rimack, Hanover and Button streets, and they were laid by
the Jersey City Pipe Co., under another contract.
There have been many leaks on the new-laid pipe, chiefly
confined to the 10, 12 and 14 inch, owing to the pipe being
coated with coal-tar varnish before being coated with ce-
ment. When it was not coated we have had but few leaks.
Coating the wrought-iron on cement-lined pipes is a new
experiment, and is an improvement, for in case the cement
should get cracked by frost or otherwise, it prevents rust.
It should, however, be left off at the ends, for it prevents
tlie cement from adhering to the iron strongly enough at
the joints.
On the cast-iron there have been two bursts and four joint
leaks.

HYDRANTS.
On account of the severe cold weather' last winter it rCj
quired constant care and labor to keep them from freezing.
They were thawed out by the city fire steamer during the
coldest weather, and other times by hot irons. Thawing by
steam had a tendency to injure the leather valve in the
Boston hydrant, and we have had to put new valves into all
those that had been frozen. There have been set the past
season fifty-five hydrants, forty in Piscataquog and fifteen
on the city side of the river, all of which are the Boston.
113
Machine Co. but ten ; these are what is called the Perkins
hydrant, made in Holyoke, Mass.. This kind of a hydrant
was so well recommended by other cities where they had
been tried, that it was thought best to put in ten that we
might judge for ourselves.
The large Boston machine hydrant that was set on Gran-
ite street, corner Canal, operated insufficiently, and it was
taken out and another of the usual pattern put in its place .
One on the corner of Pine and Amherst was moved on ac-
count of its beina: too far in the street.

GATES.
The gates that were out of order have been repaired ;
these frequently show leaks caused by turning out the stuff-
ing box in opening. More than half of these have been
packed over and are now in good condition.
Two have been taken out of the kind made by the Chap-
man Valve Company and replaced by others. The spin-
dles were small and broke in trying them. The gates set
this year are of the Ludlow Pattern ; the number set has
been 49, as shown by the table.
SERVICE PIPES.
The extreme temperature of last winter caused the frost
io go down to the depth of over five feet in many places,
•consequently many service pipes froze, and the expense to
the city in thawing them out was 1685.68.
Those that have been laid this past season were put un-
der the cellar wall in all places where it was possible to do so,
and pains was taken to lay all services at least five feet deep.
The contract with J. Q. A. Sargent, for laying the ser-
vice pipes, was continued till the first of January, 1876.
Tiie number of applications for water, to date, has been
ten hundred and eighty-three, (1083.)
Nine hundred and ninety (990) service pipes have been
laid to December :25, 1875, of diameters, number of size,
and length, as follows :

ANNUAL REPORT
CITY LIBRARY
THE YEAR 1875.
TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
TRUSTEES OF THE CITY LIBRARY.
To the City Council of the City of Manchester :
The Trustees of the City Library herewith submit their
twenty-second annual report, to which is appended the
report of the Treasurer of the Board, showing the expend-
itures made for books and periodicals ; and also the report
of the Librarian, which shows the operations of the library
■during the past year, and its present condition.
From the latter report it appears that the circulation of
■books from the library has very considerably increased, the
whole number taken out being forty-four thousand two
hundred and seventy-five ; the library having been open
for that purpose during two hundred and ninety-three days.
At the commencement of the year the library contained
■eighteen thousand six hundred and twelve volumes of books
and pamphlets. Five hundred and forty-five volumes have
been added during the year, of which, four hundred and
forty have been purchased, fifteen are donations, and ninety
are bound volumes of periodicals that have been received
during the year.
The number of periodicals regularly received has been
«ixty-six.
The total number of books, pamphlets and maps now in
the library, is nineteen thousand one hundred and fifty-
132
seven. A part of these have been laid aside as unfit for
circulation, on account of defects arising from long use.
These so laid aside will be replaced as rapidly as dupli-
cates can be procured.
Accompanying the report of the Librarian, is a list of
the donations made to the library, and a similar list of the
fitles of the books purchased, which the Trustees recom-
mend be printed as part of this report.
The expenditures made for books appear by the Treas-
urer's accounts to have been nine hundred and eighty-eight
dollars and twenty-six cents, and for periodicals one hun-
dred and eighty-six dollars and twenty cents, leaving un-
. expended a balance of twenty-one hundred and ninety-
three dollars and eighty-seven cents, applicable to the pur-
chase of books and subscription for periodicals. The
larger part of this sum will be required to pay for the pur-
chase of books, to be made about the commencement of
the year, and the remainder for such purchases as may be
made from time to time during the year.
The expenses incident to the support of the library have
been fifteen hundred and seventy-seven dollars and ninety
cents, and are in brief as follows :

quired during the ensuing year.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees :
The following is a statement of the workings of the Li-
brary for the year 1875, and of its present condition.
The year now closing shows a larger circulation than for
any previous year since our organization. This record will
be gratifying to the officers of the Library, and to the pub-
lic generally, as it thus proves that our institution is appre-
ciated, and if the privileges here offered are made use of,
beneficial results will certainly follow as a matter of course.
The books are well cared for, and but few cases are noted
where willful mutilation seems to have been intended.
Quite a number of instances are noticed of the detention
of books beyond the time allowed by the regulations, hav-
ing the appearance of but little regard for the- same, but
in the main, our rules have been complied with. The losses
from year to year are comparatively nothing. There are
always a few that cannot be found at each examination, but
in most cases are accounted for after re-opening.
The accessions have not been as large as usual, rather
below the average. This is owing to fewer donations re-
ceived, as the number purchased from the funds is the
same as for last year.
The number of new accounts opened will compare favor-
ably with previous years, being about the average. A large
136
number of old accounts have been opened, of which no
record is kept. Within the past eight weeks five have been
renewed which had not been in use for nearly fifteen years.
The usual interest for reading in the rooms, for books of
reference, and for the periodicals, is well maintained. I
think the demands for works on art, on mechanics, on
the sciences, and perhaps on other important branches, are
rather on the increase. If statistics of our workings could
be kept, they would be of great interest.
The following is a record of the work for the year, with
some comparison with past years :

There are some changes in our management which should
be made, as they would be productive of more usefulness.
One is a quiet condition of the rooms. Since the reading-
room was discontinued several years since, ordinary conver-
sation has been indulged in by those present as though the
rooms were intended, in part, for this purpose. This is very
annoying to those who come here to read, to say nothing of
us who do the work. Under these circumstances our rooms
seem to invite those who do not care to come for any real
usefulness, but simply to while away an hour as best they
may. If this condition of things were done away with, and
all who visit us were required to observe strictly our rules
in this respect, we should be patronized still more, and be
138
the means of doing more good. This change can be easily
made by allowing proper assistance for the issuing of books.
Under the present arrangement it cannot be done to anj
degree of completeness.
Another improvement would be, a record of statistics of
the workings of the library. At present, owing to other
duties which must first claim attention, but little can be
done in this respect.
The Library has reached that magnitude where one per-
son should not be expected to perform all the duties re-
quired for its management. The labors have increased
considerably since removing to the Library building, even^
and with a larger fund to draw from, by at least one-third,
for the purchase of books, the work in this department
alone must necessarily increase in the same ratio.
In order that the rooms may be in suitable condition for
use, they should be swept often and properly heated. This
latter requires two fires, and close attention is necessary to
keep them in order. Then come the regular duties of the
Library, comprising the delivery of over forty thousand vol-
umes annually, the covering of at least five thousand, keep-
ing the accounts with borrowers, a general oversight of the
rooms, which can be but imperfectly attended to, especially
during the evening sessions, the shelving, cataloguing, cov-
ering and numbering of each and every volume received as
an accession, together with many other duties absolutely
necessary to be promptly attended to, shows that the duties
are by no means unimportant. Much that would be useful
to the officers and to the public generally, as regards the
management aud general information, must be unattained.
It is earnestly lioped that the Board will take this subject
into consideration, and authorize the changes suggested,
and any other improvements which in their judgment may
be deemed advisable.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. MARSHALL, Librarian.

EEPOET OF COMMITTEE ON CEMETEEIES.
To His Honor the Mayor and City Council of the City of
Manchester :
Gentlemen : — The annual report of the Committee on
Cemeteries is most respectfully submitted for your consid-
■eration, as follows:
THE VALLEY.
The Sub-Committee on the Valley Cemetery, early in
the spring, saw the importance of extending the stone ma-
:sonry on Auburn street to the corner of Pine, a distance of
•312 feet. A survey, plan and specifications were made by
Oeorge W. Stevens, Esq., and the contract was awarded to
L. B. Bodwell & Son, who completed the job in a very sat-
isfactory manner at an expense of fl,200.
Late in the season, at the suggestion of the Committee,
the City Council made a further appropriation, by the trans-
fer of the necessary funds, to finish the iron fence along the
•entire north end of the lot.
The work was done in a substantial manner by A. H.
Lowell, and the whole north line now presents an appear-
ance creditable to the city.
It is to be hoped that the work will meet the approbation
of the people, and that the fence may be extended from
year to year, until the grounds shall be fully closed in.
164
The receipts and expenditures for the Valley have been
as follows :

R. M. SHIRLEY, ^ Suh-Com.
PINE GROVE.
The Committee on Pine Grove Cemetery have employed
Mr. William C. Chase to care for the grounds and perform
the labor necessary in keeping lots and walks in order.
About one hundred lots have been laid out, and graded
with suitable walks and borders. Sixty-six have been sold
the past year, bringing to the treasury over seventeen hun-
dred dollars. Six lots have been bargained for and the
deeds are in the hands of the treasurer awaiting payment,
leaving a sufficient number for any probable demand before
more can be graded another season.
All lots sold since last May have been at a uniform price
of 10 cents per foot.
The increase of expenses in the care of the grounds, in-
cident to the enlargement of the improved portions, will
suggest the possible necessity of a still further advance in
165
the price, if the permanent improvements begun shall be
carried forward from the income from the Cemetery without
appropriations from the city. About seventy-five ever-
greens have been planted in various parts of the grounds
at suitable points, and all are flourishing. The committee
has also encouraged the planting af evergreens and suit-
able deciduous trees, by lot owners, that may in time su-
persede the pines which are fatal to all attempts at embel-
lishment of lots beneath them.
The iron fence erected three years since, upon the west-
erly side of the grounds, has been remodeled and reset. It
has been changed by the addition of a short paling extend-
ing from the lower rail to some more than half the height
to the upper rail, thus filling the space more closely, and
making a better protection to the grounds.
In resetting, the fence has been run in a straight line
from the north-west corner toward the gateway, instead of
on an outward curve as formerly, and upon grades suited
to the surface of the ground, thus throwing into the high-
way a few thousand feet of land, giving space for an am-
ple side-walk, which we trust will meet the approval of the
public.
About two hundred feet of new fence of the same pat-
tern has also been erected upon the northerly line, and the
committee trust that their work will meet the approval of
our successors, so that as they have funds in hand, the work
may be continued year by year, until the grounds shall be
•entirely inclosed.
The water introduced three years since has been of great
use the past season, giving an abundant supply at four dif-
ferent points within the grounds.
The condition of the portion used as common ground is
unsatisfactory, and your committee proposed to improve it
by such grading as might be best, and the setting of suit-
.able markers for the graves thereon.
166
For that purpose, they contracted for five hundred mar-
ble slabs of uniform size, to be properly numbered ; but
the lateness of the season has prevented the commence-
ment of the work, and vrhat is done in the future will come-
under the supervision of our successors.
The details of receipts and expenditures will be found in
the treasurer's report.
