In the third story there is a large assembly room with two ante-rooms.
There are speaking tubes and electric bells in all class rooms connecting with the principal's room, and an electric call bell for the janitor.
In each class room there is a glass front bookcase. There is plenty of blackboard space in all the rooms.
In the hall of the first floor is a drinking fountain where the pupils may drink direct from a small stream, thereby avoiding disease germs that might lurk in cups if used by all.
The architect was Mr. H. K. Wheeler and it is a source of congratulation that the expenses have been kept within a few hundred dollars of the original estimate.
The school has every modern convenience that is practica- ble and is, without question, one of the finest in the county.
At the meeting of the School Board in October, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted : - As an expression of our deep appreciation we extend a vote of thanks to the City Improvement Society, the Daughters of the American Revolution and to the Woman's Club for their generous gifts to the Jackman school, also to Miss Ethel Parton for her great interest in beautifying the rooms, thereby affording much pleasure and profit to the children. We feel that she and all contributors have been public benefactors.

ANNUAL REPORT
Windsor Castle
Historic residence of the English sovereign, and identified with many important events and personages.
" Long shalt thou flourish, Windsor ! bodying forth Chivalric times, and long shall live around Thy Castle the old oaks of British birth, Whose gnarled roots, tenacious and profound, As with a lion's talons grip the ground, But should thy towers in ivied ruin rot, There's one, thine inmate once, whose strain renowned Would interdict thy name to be forgot ; For Chaucer loved thy bowers and trode this very spot - Chaucer, our Helicon's first fountain-stream, Our morning star of song - that led the way To welcome the long-after coming beam Of Spenser's light, and Shakespeare's perfect day." - THOMAS CAMPBELL.
The Fighting Temeraire Towed to Her Last Berth . J. M. W. Turner (b. 1775d. 1851)
"Of all pictures of subjects not visibly involving human pain, this is, I believe, the most pathetic that ever was painted. The utmost pensiveness which can be given to a landscape depends on adjuncts of ruin ; but no ruin was ever so affecting as this gliding of the vessel to her grave. A ruin cannot be so, for whatever memories may be connected with it, and whatever witness it may have borne to the glory and courage of men, it never seems to have offered itself to their danger, and associated itself with their acts, as a ship of bat- tle can. And this particular ship, crowned in the Trafalgar hour of trial with chief victory - prevailing over the fatal vessel that had given Nelson death - surely, if anything with- out a soul ever deserved honour or affection, we owed them here." -JOHN RUSKIN.
The Temeraire, ninety-eight guns, was launched Septem- ber 2, 1798. At Trafalgar, commanded by Captain Harvey, she followed the flagship Victory into action. Her maintop- mast, the head of her mizzenmast, her foreyard, her star- board cathead and bumpkin and her fore and main topsail

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
yards were shot away ; her fore and mainmasts so wounded as to render them unfit to carry sail; and her bowsprit shot through in several places. Her rigging was cut to pieces, the head of her rudder taken off by a shot, eight feet of her lower deck stove in, and the whole of her quarter-galleries on both sides carried away. Forty-six of her men were killed and seventy-six wounded. - Turner saw her on her way to be broken up at Deptford in 1838.
Man With the Fur Cap Rembrandt van Rijn (b 1506d. 1669)
Sometimes called a portrait of John III Sobieski, King of Poland, but more probably a fancy study, of which it has been suggested that the artist, whom it resembles, was him- self the original.
Madonna of the Grand Duke Raphael Sanzio (b. 1483d. 1520)
"Around the mighty master came The marvels which his pencil wrought, Those miracles of power whose fame Is wide as human thought. There drooped thy more than mortal face O Mother, beautiful and mild, Enfolding in one dear embrace Thy Savior and thy child."
- JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

NEWBURYPORT SCHOOLS
-
The rearrangement made necessary by the completion of the new building, for the Jackman school has caused several noticeable changes in our schools. Formerly the schools of Newburyport were of two kinds-boys' schools and girls' schools. The sexes were separated in primary, grammar and high schools.
With the consolidation of the Female high, the Brown high and the Putnam schools the high school became a mixed school. The other schools have by degrees in the course of years also become mixed schools. In October 1901, the only schools which remain as relics of the system of separating the sexes were the Jackman, for boys only, and the Temple Street for girls alone. We now have none but mixed schools, that is none in which the sexes are separated.
The removal of the Johnson and Bromfield grammar schools to the new Jackman building made changes in other respects. It lessened the number of separate grammar schools and the number of grammar school principals. There are now but five grammar schools. There are three main grammar schools, the Jackman, the Kelley, and the Currier.
45
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
In the new Jackman school building there are eight school rooms two of which are occupied by primary grades. The re- maining six are grammar rooms. The Kelley has five gram- mar rooms on the second floor, the four rooms on the lower floor are occupied by the primary grades of the training school. In the Currier school there are four rooms all of which are occupied by grammar pupils. One of the rooms of the Moultonville school is also a grammar room. There are a few grammar pupils in the Storey Avenue school, but this is not distinctly a grammar school.
In all there are sixteen grammar school rooms and twenty- three primary rooms, with one room, that in the Storey Ave- nue school, which has both primary and grammar grades. Below State street there are six grammar rooms, all in the new Jackman school, and nine primary rooms, two of which are in the Jackman. Above State street there are ten gram- mar rooms and fourteen primary, one of which is in the Con- gress street ward room.
Formerly a large proportion of our schools had more than one grade to a room. Some of them had two, some three and a few had even more than that number. Previous to the re- arrangement of the schools below State street, caused by the removal of other schools to the new building, there were only two rooms with a single grade, viz : - the first grade in the ward room and the lower room in the Johnson school. The principals of the Johnson and the Bromfield schools had each three grades. At the present time there are below State street only two rooms with more than one grade, these are the mixed room in the Jackman and Temple Street schools.
46
ANNUAL REPORT
In the whole city there are now forty rooms below the High school. Thirty-two of these have but one grade, four have two grades and four have more than two grades.
TRUANT OFFICER'S REPORT
Gentlemen of the School Committee: -
I have the honor to submit my annual report for the year ending June 22, 1901.
The conditions for the past year have been about the same as in previous years. In visiting the several manufactories I find generally a willingness to comply with the requirements of the law.
Most of the cases of truancy which occur in our schools are caused by the indifference or neglect of parents. It might be of benefit to bring a few cases before the court, and enforce the law which makes any parent liable to a fine where a child is kept from school ten half days within a peri- od of six months.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT G. ALLEN,
Truant Officer.
