To the Committee on High School: -
In reviewing the work of the High and Putnam schools during the year just past, several changes in the teaching force are to be noted. Last June Miss Helen A. Ward re- signed to accept a position in Baltimore, Md., and her posi- tion was filled by Miss Edith M. Brown, of Leicester Academy, Leicester, Mass. In November, after a connection with the school of over six years, Mr. Berry resigned to ac- cept a position in the Hopkinson School of Boston. Mr. Berry had made for himself a strong place in the school and his loss is greatly regretted. Mr. Dana C. Wills, a graduate of Columbia and the Teachers' College, has been elected sub- master and will begin his work in January.
The business course is now fully established. Mr. Frank A. Page, a graduate of Brown University, took charge of this department in September. The work of the first and second years includes commercial arithmetic, book-keeping and com-

mercial law ; the junior and senior years stenography and typewriting.
The new course of study in force all last year is proving to be very satisfactory. The increased interest in their work on the part of the pupils is quite marked while the percentage of failures has been greatly reduced.
The general spirit of the school in regard to athletics is to be highly commended. The rule of the Athletic Association requiring every contestant to be in good standing in his school work has been enforced by the association. It is especially noteworthy that only one pupil has been debarred from football by the enforcement of this rule, and he only for one month.
The graduating class numbered 37. The school board con- ferred 23 diplomas and the Putnam trustees 14. From this class four have entered the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, one Dartmouth College, three the Salem Normal School and four the training school. One has been accepted at Mount Holyoke but will not enter until another year. Four have returned to the High school for graduate work in- tending to enter college later.
The Toppan prize, given for the best examination paper in civil government, was awarded to Edward Hale Bartlett, the committee on award being Principal George W. Brown and Rev. S. C. Beane, D. D.
At the opening of school in September 55 were admitted to the High and 23 to the Putnam school. There are at pres- ent in the school 177 High and 72 Putnam pupils.
Respectfully yours,
WALTER E. ANDREWS.

ANNUAL REPORT
The following agreement between the School Committee and the Trustees of the Putnam Free School was made May 20, 1901.
Whereas, the Putnam free school and the city high schools have for several years been administered conjointly, it is now agreed by and be- tween the trustees of the Putnam Free school and the school committee of the city of Newburyport, as follows, viz :
First. The three schools shall be placed under the charge of one teacher. and be called the principal, with such assistants as the school committee and trustees shall appoint.
Second. The school committee shall appoint, with the approval of the trustees, the principal of the united schools. Said committee shall also ap- point such assistants in addition to those appointed by the trustees as may be needed.
Third. The trustees shall appoint, with the approval of the school committee, two female assistant teachers, and fix and pay their salaries.
Fourth. The school committee shall pay the salaries of all the teachers appointed by them.
They shall fix the standard of admission which shall be such as the trustees can substantially adopt, and shall be fixed and communicated to the trustees before the examination shall take place.
They shall prescribe the course of study to be pursued, which, so far as it relates to the Putnam school, the trustees will accept.
The vacation in the three schools shall occur at the same time, and the examinations of those applying for admission to the three schools shall be held at the same time and be regulated by the same rules. It being un- derstood that the trustees are not to be responsible for any of the expense of teaching the dead languages.

will be continued in their positions only upon the condition that they per- form their duties in a manner satisfactory to said committee.
Eighth. Teachers appointed by the trustees shall be removed upon written request signed by eight members of the school committee, provid- ing said request shall state a legal cause for the dismissal of said teachers.
Ninth. The three schools shall be under the control of the principal who shall be responsible to the school committee and trustees for the faithful performance of his duty.
Tenth. The school shall be under the general charge of the school committee and trustees as heretofore, but in the immediate charge of a joint sub-committee on union of schools, consisting of five members of the school board and two members of the trustees, either of whom, when una- ble to attend may appoint any other trustee to serve temporarily in his place.
Eleventh. Upon all matters connected with the management of the united schools not specifically provided for herein the trustees shall act in the capacity of an advisory board. It shall at all times be in order for them to communicate to the school committee such suggestions in regard. to the conduct of the school or any of the teachers employed therein as they may deem advisable. Such communications may be made orally or in writing and shall be made either through the members of the joint sub- committee, or by a special committee of the trustees appointed for that purpose. The school committee pledges itself to give due consideration to such communications from the trustees.
