At the close of last year there remained on hand unexpended a balance of two hundred twenty-one and forty-five one-hundredths dollars.
The income during the present year has been six hundred dollars, which with two dollars additional, makes an aggregate of eight hundred twenty- three and forty-five one-hundredths dollars, from which five hundred eighty- three and fifty-three one-hundredths has been expended in the purchase of two hundred forty-three standard books for the Library, thus leaving on hand two hundred thirty-nine and ninety-four one-hundredths dollars, to be used as occasion may require, in additions to the library.
It should be stated in this connection, that the treasurer's accounts of re- ceipts and expenditures has been, at his request, annually examined, and cer- tificate of their correctness recorded.
Our indebtedness to Mr. Peabody for his generous donation will perhaps be more appreciated, when it is stated, that since the treasurer received the prin- cipal directly from Mr. Peabody, now more than eighteen years ago, the inter- est has more than exceeded the original gift, and that from this source alone four thousand seven hundred forty-seven volumes, many of which were of high cost, have been added to the Library.

THE BUILDING FUND.
TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY :
The city in accepting a deed of the spacious grounds with the commodious edifice thereon, which had been arranged for the use of the Public Library, as a perpetual testimony of their appreciation of the gift thereupon enact that the three trustees to whom was committed the expenditure of the money which had been subscribed for the object, should be, ex-officio, with their successors, permanent directors of the Library.
In excess of the amount required to carry out the views of the contributors to the fund for the contemplated object. five thousand dollars remained unex- pended, and this was deposited in the Institution for Savings, wherewith to make needed repairs to the building or improvements, and if possible without calling on the city for aid in so doing.
Notwithstanding the large drafts upon the fund for purposes of use or or- nament, and also a recent large expenditure for sanitary purposes, which was not originally contemplated, the principal of the fund remains intact, where it was originally placed.
This report is made to the directors in compliance with the terms of the conveyance, which was that an annual report of the condition of the fund should be made to them by the trustees of the fuud.

The reading room continues to be a popular resort for both sexes and for all classes. The order has been good almost without exception. A few additions have been made to the reference books, still there is a marked deficiency in that department. It is very desirable to have the new hand-books, Atlases and Encyclopædias, as they come out. These books are much consulted by the pu- pils in our schools, as well as by the readers of the periodicals, and it is very important to have them near at hand. All the desirable periodicals after do- ing service in the reading room are bound and placed in the library. The Todd fund has thus made an addition to it of sixty-one volumes the past year.

YEAR 1885.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The past year has been somewhat eventful for the High schools. The committee felt at the beginning of the year that the school was not altogether as sat- isfactory as it might be, and made a careful study of the matter to ascertain how its condition might be im- proved. They soon became convinced that one cause of trouble there was the lack of entire harmony be- tween the school board and the trustees of the Put- nam Free school. There had been for some years a growing feeling of dissatisfaction with the terms of consolidation, and discussion of this matter had seri- ously interfered with the proper and effective super- vision of the details of school management. The board felt that consolidation was not desirable or for the best interests of the school, unless it could be had on terms which should justly and fairly protect the city's interest. Consultation with the Trustees of the Putnam Fund developed the fact that there was no substantial disagreement as to what ought to be done. The differences between the two boards were either the result of misunderstanding, or in reference to cer- tain forms of expression in the contract. To make a contract for a term of years, which was considered es-
4
sential, and to put it in such form as to reduce the chance of future misunderstanding to a minimum, re- quired considerable care and thought on the part of both boards. The result of their labor is shown in the form of contract embodied in this report. The com- mittee feel that now we have our High schools on a footing which should insure for them the greatest measure of success. We are guaranteed a salary for the principal which should secure us first class ability in that position. And in addition to all other teach- ers necessary we have the assurance of the Trustees that any surplus income which they may have shall be devoted to the use of the school in such a way as shall be deemed most advantageous. We believe also that there is a much better understanding between the two boards, and that there will in the future be the most cordial cooperation between them.
Mr. Seeley resigned at the commencement of the Fall term, and after careful consideration of the claims of rival candidates for the position the board unani- mously elected, and the Trustees by a similar vote confirmed Mr. E. C. Adams as principal of the con- solidated school. As he assumed the duties of the po- sition so recently, it is too early to speak of his suc- cess. The board, however, have great confidence in him, and with reasonable cooperation of pupils and parents we hope soon to see our High school second to none in the State.

CONTRACT WITH TRUSTEES OF THE PUTNAM FREE SCHOOL.
Articles of agreement made and concluded this ninth day of October, A. D. 1885, by and between the Trustees of the Putnam Free School and the City of Newburyport.
Whereas it is desirable to continue the union of the Putnam Free, Brown High, and Female High schools substantially as it has heretofore existed, and with the idea that it shall be a permanent arrangement, it is agreed as follows between the said Trustees of the one part, and said city of the other part :
The said Trustees agree to furnish accommodations for the term of ten years for the Brown High and Female High schools of the city in the school building of said Trustees; which schools are to be administered jointly with the school of said Trustees upon a plan of co-operation to be adopted by the Trustees and the school committee ; the Trustees to furnish fuel, janitor, etc., and to make all repairs.
And in consideration of the premises the City of Newburyport agrees to pay to said Trustees the sum of five hundred dollars per annum for the term of ten years, payable in equal semi-annual payments of two hundred and fifty dollars each, on the first day of March and September.
And it is further agreed that in case of fire or other casualty it shall be op- tional with said Trustees whether to rebuild or not; but in case they rebuild said payments are to continue until the end of the term; otherwise said pay- ments are to cease.
In testimony whereof the City of Newburyport, by its committee on Public Property, thereunto duly authorized by an order of the City Council passed on the 5th day of October, A. D. 1885, and the Trustees of the Putnam Free school by their President and Treasurer, hereunto duly authorized by a vote passed by said Trustees, at a meeting of their Board holden on the 23d day of September, 1885, have hereunto set their hands and seals the day and year first above written.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS BELOW STATESTREET.
The Grammar schools below State street have main- tained their excellent standing during the past year. All the schools have increased in numbers, and that under Miss Coffin is more than full. It has been pro- posed by the committee to tear down the partitions in the Jackman and Bromfield street schools and place the entire schools under the direct discipline of the masters. This plan, however, cannot be carried out until the next long vacation, should it then still meet with the approval of the committee. The only change in the corps of instruction is the return of Master Lunt to the Jackman school, in place of Mr. Averill, a prom- ising young man, whose early decease the board were called upon to mourn in sympathy with a large circle of friends to whom he had become endeared. There are several matters of minor repairs which should be attended to in these schools by the committee on pub- lic property, and particularly the Johnson Grammar school should be provided with more modern desks.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS ABOVE STATE STREET.
During the past year the Grammar schools above State street have pursued the even tenor of their way, yielding a fair average of good results. The teach- ers have been prompt and attentive to their duties, and the pupils have profited by their labors. It would be easy to suggest ways in which the schools could be improved, but all improvements inviting increased expense are of necessity postponed until the finances of the city are in better condition. For the amount now expended we are getting all that could be reason- ably expected.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS ABOVE STATE STREET.
There are eight primary schools above State street, excluding those in the Kelley building, but including the schools at the Plains and Moultonville, which are Mixed, Primary and Grammar. The attendance in these schools the past year has been good.
During the whole of the first, second, and a part of the third terms of the school year Miss Whitmore's place in the Congress street Boys' Primary was sup- plied by Miss L. H. Cheever, the assistant, Miss Whitmore being kept at home by reason of ill health. Miss Whitmore resumed her position in May last.
The first of March last Miss Flora Pettigrew of the Ashland street Primary, 2nd Division, was obliged to retire by reason of ill health. Her place was supplied during the remainder of the year by Miss Clara A. Bliss as substitute.
Miss Pettigrew has resumed her position with the commencement of this school year.
Miss Carrie M. Bayley resigned as teacher of the Girls' Sub-Primary school on Kent street, in October, and her school was consolidated with the Boys' Sub-
11
Primary, and four teachers only are now employed in the schools on Kent common.
