This is not only an incentive to the pupils themselves, but it also brings the power of public opinion to bear upon delinquents.
ELEMENTARY GRADES.
Some idea of the importance of a good elementary education may be obtained by a glance at the comparative membership in the different grades of the public schools. Taking the numbers belonging to the several grades in December, 1893, we find as follows :
First grade, lowest primary . .244
Second grade. 214
Third grade. 200
Fourth grade .. 193
Fifth grade, lowest grammar. 176
Sixth grade 163
54
ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Seventh grade. 145
Eighth grade. 99
Ninth grade. 78
Fourth class, lowest high school. 57
Third class 41
Second class 29
First class 29
To be just it would be better to take the second year of the primary course as a basis of comparison, rather than the first, as quite a number of the first came in the latter part of the previous school year and were left over.
Taking the number of members of the second grade as 100 per cent. we find the following result :
Second year . 100 per cent
Third year . 932 per cent
Fourth year. 90 per cent
Fifth year. 82 per cent
Sixth vear. 78 per cent
Seventh year
68 per cent
Eighth year
46 per cent
Ninth year 36 per cent
First year of high school 27 per cent
Second year
193 per cent
Third year. 132 per cent
Fourth year. . 13} per cent
This shows that of those who enter the primary schools about nine out of ten complete the primary course, and about eight out of ten enter the grammar school, while of those enter- ing the primary schools about one in three completes the gram- mar course, and about one in four enters the high school. Of those entering the primary about one in eight completes the whole course in the high school. Of those entering the grammar school about one in three enters the high school and one in six com- pletes the whole course of that school.
It is shown thus that three out of four of our public school children never go beyond the grammar school.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
This view should not allow us to under-rate the value or im- portance of higher school work, but it should lead to an earnest consideration of our duties towards those pupils whose school ed- ucation is completed so early.
Do they lose instruction of any kind that they are capable of receiving, or that they will in future need for their own benefit or for the benefit of the state of which they will soon be active members ? Or, are there any obstacles to successful work in the lower schools ?

TRUANT OFFICER'S REPORT.
NEWBURYPORT, MASS., DEC. 29, 1894.
To the School Committee :
GENTLEMEN : - I herewith submit my annual report for the school year ending June 30, 1894 :
Inspection of factories and work shops: I have visited all of the manufactories at least once a month, examined certificates, and caused those children to be discharged who were not entitled to work. The foremen of the various factories and work shops have co-operated with the truant officer in the enforcement of the law with good results, consequently this year will compare favor- ably with previous years. As compared with previous years, truancy during the past year has been considerably diminished. The attendance of children at school has not been quite up to the standard of former years, owing to unnecessary absenteeism, on account of negligence of parents and guardians.
I most respectfully recommend to the school committee the prosecution of those families who do not comply with the law of 1894 relating to school attendance of children. The accompany- ing table of statistics will show the work done for the year.
Truant Officer's Report for the Year Ending June 30, 1894.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS HON. ORRIN J. GURNEY, DELIVERED JANUARY 7. 1895.
Gentlemen of the City Council:
It becomes my privilege to be the first, among the long list of honored mayors of this good old city, who has been permitted to deliver a fourth consecu- tive inaugural address, and as I realize the full extent of this unusual honor that has been conferred upon me, I am unable to find suitable language in which to express my feelings of gratitude to the citizens of Newburyport. I can only say that I fully appreciate this kind mark of their esteem and from my heart thank them for their confidence.
