Many of the text books in use in the High school are those pur_ chased at the time when the free text-book law first went into operation, and are now unfit for use. That they have stood the use of seven years speaks much for the care of the pupils. With the greatest care, however, books wear out. In several cases new books must be supplied, and it would seem wise to make a change rather than to replace the old books with new ones of the same kind. This would be especially true in case of books on language and literature, for during the last five years the advance in books treating of these subjects has been very great.
The Toppan prize was awarded to William Ilsley of Oldtown, a member of the Putnam school. Mr. Henry Bailey Little and N. N. Jones, esq., acted as a committee of award.
It is a fact worthy of notice that there is an increasing number of young men and young women in the schools who are looking forward to an extended course of study in higher institutions of learning. Six young men passed successfully the preliminary examinations for entrance to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. One young lady took the preliminary for admission to the Harvard Annex. There are also several other young ladies who are preparing to enter college. This increased interest in higher education is especially credita ble to our own school.
At the close of the year Miss Sarah W. Pike resigned as assist- ant in the Putnam school. She was a thoroughly devoted and conscientious teacher, prompt and painstaking, and not more interested in the intellectual than in the moral development of her pupils. The results of her work were always good.

Class Hymn
WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH W. NEWHALL.
Like a ship with sails outspreading, Eager, waiting for the tide, All things hoping, nothing dreading, Stand we now life's sea beside. Proud and lofty our ambition, In the morning of our life ; Ours no thought of low condition, Ours no shrinking from the strife.
1 Some may hope to win their glory By their pen, a power strong ; Others hope to live in story For the sweetness of their song; Others still their thoughts are turning To their country's laws alone; Many more are fondly yearning For the pleasures of the home.
But whate'er may be our life task, Be it great or be it small, If we should in fortune's sun bask, Or should lose our little all, Upward still our eyes will ever Seek the towering heights sublime, And our feet will falter never, But still higher, higher climb.
Benediction.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
JAMES PARTON.
Mr. Parton, to whom this page is dedicated, died on October 17, 1891. He had been a member of the school board since Jan. 1, 1885, and was at the time of his death chairman of the High School committee. No man more sincerely loved and respected has ever been connected with the public affairs of this city. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the school board at their regular meeting, Oct. 26, 1891 :
Whereas, since our last meeting we have lost by death our friend and associate, Mr. James Parton, therefore
Resolved, that while, with this community, we lament the man of letters, the courteous gentleman, the generous, public-spirited citi- zen, we, the members of this board, wish to express our sense of a special loss.
Resolved, that by the death of Mr. Parton our schools lose an earnest and steadfast friend; one who held teaching to be the first of the professions, and who felt a personal interest in each teacher employed here ; one whose sympathies enabled him to see things from the standpoint of the smallest child, and, to do him justice, one whose sense of responsibility for the welfare of the children never failed.
Resolved, that we appreciate the fact that our friend's latest pub- lic effort was made in the interests of the schools, and that we are glad to remember the pleasant relations which we have always held to each other.
Resolved, that the secretary be instructed to transmit a copy of these resolutions to Mrs. Parton.
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
The past year may justly be considered as one of unusual suc- cess in grammar school work. It is almost certain that a class of pupils so well prepared had never before presented themselves for admission to the High school. The results of their examination did credit to the teachers who had so faithfully worked for them through the year.
Of fifty-one pupils who applied from Newburyport schools, all but two successfully passed the examination. The average rank attained was 89 per cent; the highest, probably, ever reached here. When it is remembered that the average required for admission is 75 per cent, that only two fell below that rank, and that the total average was 14 per cent above that required for admission, it will be seen that this result could have been secured only through intelligent and systematic effort. The examination was not considered easier than usual, but the papers handed in by the pupils were unusually good.
A generous rivalry among the teachers to secure the best results without over-study on the part of the scholars, and a knowledge of what other schools are doing in the same grades, have helped in this work.
It would be unjust, where all have done so well, to single out individual schools for commendation or criticism, though in each there are peculiarities of excellence. It is believed that there is in none of them that high pressure or excessive study out of school hours about which so much complaint has been made elsewhere. No amount of learning will compensate a child for loss of health, or for being deprived of his inalienable right to hours of recrea- tion, especially in the open air.
A course of study in grammar schools should be such that if
14
ANNUAL REPORT
schooling ends there, as it does in many instances, the pupils will have acquired the essential elements for a successful career. They should have education enough to perform the duties of practical life intelligently and creditably. They should be able to perform ordinary problems that arise in common or business life quickly and correctly ; able to write in good English, legibly and rapidly. With a knowledge of the practical working of republican institutions, and of the duties and privileges of American citizens added, there will be little to hinder them from rising as far as ambition may desire.
With all of the above, or as a foundation for all, they should possess good health and good character. The course of study in our schools aims at these ends, and with intelligent and capable teachers will go far towards attaining them. The prime essen- tials of health and character are hereditary, and cannot be sup- plied. But they can be modified ; and no one can tell the vicious propensities that through school habits and associations have given place to other and better tendencies. In regard to health, there is great danger of forgetting the body in praiseworthy efforts to train the mind. Girls need particular attention in this respect, as, unfortunately, they seldom share the invigorating out-door plays of their brothers.
When the children begin to lean upon their desks, or when they have been studying long, a good, brisk exercise should be given, after which it will be found that they naturally take better posi- tions. Parents would be repaid if they should visit the schools often and hear some of their children's work. In many school- rooms in the city quite wonderful results are obtained in rapid reckoning, both oral and on the slates. It is quite a common inci- dent to have the teacher give out seven or eight numbers, of three figures each. to be added on the slates, and to see half the chil- dren on their feet, with the work done, inside of thirty seconds from the time the first number was read. In mental combinations the unpracticed grown person would find it quite difficult to keep up with the children. These and many other things show that our teachers are striving with all their ability to keep their schools abreast of the times,

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
The work in the primary schools has been slowly changing its character for several years. Improved methods of teaching in other places, reading of educational journals, the influence of the training school, and the modifications in the course of study, have all contributed to this result. It is gratifying to find that some of our older teachers, who have had many years' experience in teaching, are among the first to welcome changes which are of real value.
The primary teacher has many difficulties to contend with No- where is better exemplified the old proverb of the first step that costs. Irregular attendance is more frequent here than in the higher grades. Children at this age are less able to endure severe weather, and much more susceptible to contagious diseases than those a few years older.
The school committee have recently made one regulation, which has long been needed, fixing the times of admission to the lowest class. Hereafter children will be admitted to this grade only during the first two weeks of the term beginning in Septem- ber, and during the first week of each of the terms beginning in January and April. This is a step of great importance Parents, who are not familiar with school work, will hardly be able to real- ize how much injury and loss are caused by having children, who are unable to enter existing classes, come in at any time through the year, taking up the teacher's time and obliging her to have
24
ANNUAL REPORT
numerous little classes, thus hindering the progress of those who entered school at the proper time.
The agent of the State Board of Education, on his recent visit, spoke in favorable terms of our schools, particularly of the lan- guage work of the primary grades. This was due in a great degree to the fact that the teachers had given special attention to the weak points, that experience had shown to be common here and elsewhere.
In one of the rooms he visited, he gave sentences for the chil- dren to write upon their slates, each sentence containing several very probable errors in spelling, punctuation and capitals. There were, in the whole room of about thirty pupils, not over seven mis- takes in all, and all but two or three pupils were correct in every respect. While this was a case of exceptional excellence, yet the work of the schools generally was, in this particular, unexpectedly good.
The grade meetings have been enlivened several times by the presence of classes brought in from the schools. This has proved very interesting and valuable, and cannot fail to produce marked results. Classes in reading from the Johnson and training schools, two classes in number work from the training school, and one in Swedish gymnastics from the Temple street school, were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by both teachers and children.
The systematic grading of the work required in the primary and grammar grades enables the teachers to have fixed aims in each branch The course of study printed in the last annual report of the Board was perhaps the most important step yet taken for the improvement of the schools. While it may be some time before all receive its full benefits, good results are already apparent in many schools. The details in every study and in every grade are given, and particular stress is laid upon those points in which classes have frequently been found defective.
