FRANCIS V. PIKE.
Mr. Pike, who had just entered upon his duties as a member of the school board, died January 25, 1893. The following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted at the meeting of the board, Jan- uary 30 :
Whereas, the place on the board so lately filled by the election of Mr. Francis V. Pike, has been made vacant by his death, there- fore
Resolved, that we lament the loss to our schools of one who would have taken so hearty an interest in them, one whose edu- cation in them, and whose loyalty to all the public affairs of his native city were promises of his zealous co-operation in the work to which our citizens had called him.
Resolved, that we think with pride of a young man who identified himself always with whatever was for the honor and good of Newburyport, and that to us his best monument is in the improvement and beauty with which his name is associated.
Resolved, that the secretary present a copy of these resolutions with our heartfelt sympathy to the family of our late associate.
GEORGE W. SNOW.
Dr. George W. Snow, who had served many years on the school board died May 20, 1893. At the regular meeting of the board on May 29, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
. Whereas, for the second time since the organization of this present board, a vacant place has been made by the death of a member, therefore
Resolved, that we, the members of the school board of the City of Newburyport, express our conviction that the schools of this city, in the death of Dr. George W. Snow, have lost a true friend, and we an honored and beloved associate. His long ex- perience as a member of the school committee ; his uprightness of character ; his good judgment and kindness of heart, eminently fitted him to give counsel in all questions where the interests of the children and the welfare of the schools were concerned.
Resolved, that we in common with the general public, deeply feel the removal of one so widely trusted and respected.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of our deceased brother.

ANNUAL REPORT.
Gentlemen of the School Committee :-
In obedience to your instructions and in conformity with the requirements of the Statutes, I respectfully submit the following report for the year 1893.
It will be found to contain the customary statistics in relation to the schools and school children of the city, the financial state- ment, a list of the present teachers and their salaries, with other information pertaining to this department.
While we have been very conservative here in our line of edu- cation and in school methods, we have reason to be proud of our schools and of a superior corps of teachers. The work that is done compares favorably in most respects with the same line of work elsewhere.
We have not yet introduced manual or industrial training into our course of study, though it is to be hoped that a way will yet be found by which our young people can receive the benefits of such instruction without calling too severely upon the public funds. There are many cities where private generosity has taken the initiative in this work. Believing, as I do, most heartily in work of the body as well as the mind, and that all people are not adapted to literary or scientific pursuits, I have no doubt that the time is near at hand when public education will do as much for one class as for the other. Your attention has before been called to the fact that we have no special teachers and I realize that without them there are some important branches in which the best results cannot be obtained. The objection to the em- ployment of such teachers is, of course, the additional expense.
S
ANNUAL REPORT
We have a corps of devoted teachers anxious that their pupils should excel. I would earnestly recommend that the teachers themselves should have a few lessons from experts in those branches usually taught in the schools by special teachers. This could be done at comparatively small cost, and I believe the results would well compensate for the outlay.
Respectfully, WILLIAM P. LUNT, Superintendent of Schools.
THE HIGH AND PUTNAM SCHOOLS.
HIGH SCHOOLS-E. C. Adams, A. M., Principal; F. H. Tarr, Sara A. Leonard, Mary T. Spalding, Alice G. Pierce, Bertha A. Atwater, Assis- tants.
PUTNAM SCHOOL-Mary R. Bond, Harriet Piper, Assistants.
The High and Putnam Schools have continued under the same general management as last year, though several changes have occurred in the corps of teachers, as was announced would be the case in our last report. Mr. F. H. Tarr was engaged as a teach- er of Natural Science, and Miss Bertha Atwater, and Miss Alice Goddard Pierce as general assistants. Mr. Tarr has succeeded well in his department, and under his direction the interest in the study of Natural Science has increased. We believe that this department accomplishes good results. The idea that laboratory work is mere play has wholly disappeared and pupils take hold of the work in a manly and thoughtful way. While we would not underestimate the value of other departments of study in the High School, we certainly feel that the effects of a good science course are very great, and that this course should be kept strong and in touch with the latest and best methods.
Miss Atwater was already known in the High School as she had substituted many times during the previous year. The re- sults of her work were satisfactory. She is a natural student and a conscientious teacher. She brings her scholarly habits and en- thusiasm into the class room.
Miss Pierce, a graduate of Wellesley College, came to her work well equipped, and inspired with a professional spirit not often seen in an inexperienced teacher. Her work has been satisfac- tory from the beginning.
IO
ANNUAL REPORT
On the whole, we feel that we were fortunate in filling so sat- isfactorily the vacancies occurring in this school.
The work in all departments has been kept up to the standard that has been maintained for several years past. An exception- ally large number of pupils entered higher institutions of learn- ing with credit to themselves and to the school. Eight were ad- mitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, three to Harvard University, two to Wellesley College, and one to Smith. This fact alone might tell little of the character of the work done in the High school, were the statement of it not followed by the statement that all the pupils in the school receive the same kind of training as those who are planning to go to college, and when possible college classes are not separated from the others. In all this work the teachers try to lose sight of the fact that a part of their pupils are to take examinations for admission to some college or scientific institute, and aim to give them such instruction and training as will best fit a young man or woman to continue his studies, or to take up the work of life.
The graduation in June was of a high order. The essays were carefully prepared and distinctly spoken. The young ladies always find much difficulty in making themselves heard in City Hall, but this year they overcame it to a very large degree, if not entirely.
There were several prizes awarded this year besides the one for excellence in Civil Government. They were all offered by citizens interested in the school and in the progress of the young men of our city. The objects for which these prizes were given will appear in the announcement of the awards.
The Toppan Prize was awarded to Frederick L. Edmands by a committee consisting of O. B. Merrill, A. M., and Mr. Arthur L. Huse. The prize still continues to excite and increase the in- terest felt in this important branch of study.
A prize of $10 offered by William H. Swasey, Esq., for excellence in penmanship, was awarded to Edward A. Lunt of the third class. Honorable mention was made of George E. Creasey and Bertram D. Sumner. Messrs. Lawrence W. Piper and Percy L. Dame made this award.
II
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Mr. Swasey offers a like sum for the same object next year, to be given in two prizes, $6 and $4 each.
Two prizes of $3 and $2 respectively, were offered by Mr. Joseph Cartland for the best essays on "How Best to Pro- mote Temperance." These prizes were awarded by Rev. A. W. Hitchcock to Miss Ethel M. Howard of the second class and to F. L. Edmands of the Senior class.
Two other prizes of $5 and $2 each, were given for the best essays on "Newburyport." The successful contestants were Belle R. Keene and Arthur W. Huse, both of the second class. These prizes were awarded by Nathan N. Withington, Esq.
No bad effects were noticeable from the fact that pupils were contesting for these prizes, but on the contrary, the influence of . the healthy rivalry seemed good.
It should be stated that a prize of $10 worth of books has been offered to the member of the present senior class who shows the greatest proficiency in Mathematics. The donor of this prize wishes his name withheld for the present.
In closing we would say that we believe that our High school in connection with the Putnam Free school, forms an institution worthy of the confidence which the public repose in it. We feel sure that its record for the past few years justifies this confi- dence, and invites it for the future.

WORDS BY EDITH S. TODD.
As the bird on lofty pinion Heavenward lightly wings its flight, So our lives are hastening onward ; Soon the morn becomes the night.
Year by year, the spring returning, Brings its wealth of fragrant flowers, Which beneath the summer sunshine, Are transformed to fruitful bowers.

ANNUAL REPORT
So for years have we been lingering In the sunny spring of life ; Sterner duties now await us, We must gird us for the strife.
As we go to take our places 'Mid the busy, bustling throng, Let us bear with us our motto, "Fearing nothing but the wrong." Benediction.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.
During the past year several changes have taken place in the corps of grammar school teachers. At the Kelley school, Mr. L. G. Smith, principal for the last four years, resigned his po- sition to enter upon another calling. Mr. Smith was in every respect a gentleman, and during his stay here made many friends who will regret his departure. Mr. Irving H. Johnson was transferred from the school on Wesley street to the position made vacant by Mr. Smith's resignation. Miss Henriette E. De Rochemont, who had taught for one year in the seventh grade of the Kelley school, also resigned herposition at the close of the school year, and Miss Mabel B. Sanborn was transferred from the principalship of the Moultonville school to the seventh grade in the Kelley.
Miss Emily A. Hale, assistant in the boys' school on Forrester street, where she had been doing efficient work, gave up her po- sition, and Miss Inez G. Hulbert was appointed in her place.
Miss Nellie G. Stone, of Connecticut, has taken charge of the Wesley street school from which Mr. Johnson was transferred, and Miss Helen S. Merrill has been appointed principal of the Moultonville school.
Notwithstanding these changes, our grammar schools are doing excellent work and we are fortunate in having been able to retain for many years the services of experienced and devoted teachers. Every year's service has only added to the ability they can bring to the discharge of their duties. A faithful and expe- rienced teacher finds his influence and his reputation steadily gaining from year to year. The estimation in which he is held by former pupils now arrived at maturity is a power for him

ANNUAL REPORT
with the children of to-day, and contributes largely to his effi- ciency, while the new teacher, however great his ability. must build his reputation with all eyes fixed upon him, ready to criti- cise or question trifles which would have passed unnoticed with his predecessor.
While much has been said upon the necessity of correct methods at the beginning of the child's education, and upon the greater im- portance of primary teaching, the influence of the training in grammar schools appears to have attracted less attention. As the child develops and approaches nearer to maturity, impres- sions though not made in such plastic material are more perma- nent and control in a much greater degree the coming man or woman. The pressure must be stronger but the impression will be more durable.
Though the methods of teaching in grammar schools have been greatly modified, the changes have been less radical than in the primary grades. Much of the harder, dogged work of former days is still done. Perhaps it would be well to introduce more of the attractive and interesting methods of the primary schools into our grammar school work-but not too much-and some of the harder, uninteresting work of the grammar schools into the primary grades-but not too 'much of that either-so that the changes of methods when the pupil enters the grammar school should not be too sudden.
Our teachers in the grammar schools are deeply interested in the work they are called upon to do, and are always striving for better results in their teaching. Whatever improvement can be made in methods of instruction or in school management they are anxious to adopt, but it is not always easy to carry out in practice unfamiliar methods even when they are acknowledged to be improvements. It is not improbable that in the near future, it may be necessary to fill the places of quite a number of gram- mar school teachers, who have done excellent work in our schools for many years. The training school for primary teachers has accomplished all that was expected, and has done much towards modifying and improving the primary schools. It is able to furnish us with primary teachers. We now need somewhere to
I7
SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
look for teachers trained to the best methods of grammar school work.
No duty that the school committee is called upon to perform is so important as that of supplying suitable teachers for our schools. All other conditions combined, are as nothing com- pared with the teacher. A poor teacher, with the best books. the best course of study and the best superintendence, would hardly be worth having, as compared with the good teacher with the worst of all other conditions.
Vacancies are sometimes filled by promotion of teachers. This is well when the teachers are particularly adapted to vacant positions, but the welfare of the schools is first to be considered. Far better reward the teacher, who is doing excellent work where she is, by increasing her salary, than promote her to a position for which she is unfitted, to the injury of the school and of herself.
The system of drawing recently introduced has so far proved better adapted to the proper development of pupils in manual skill, than any previously tried here. It is very interesting, both to scholars and teachers, and well adapted to form a connecting link between kindergarten methods and a system of manual training, should such a system be eventually introduced. But to obtain really good results a special teacher is needed for that branch of work. The same may be said,of physical exercises in schools. If our schools are in any way inferior to those of other cities, it is in those branches where special teachers are em- ployed elsewhere. Too much of our education has consisted in the cultivation and development of the purely mental faculties. while little or no proper attention has been given to the training of the body.
