It is in this field that the teacher works, and it is a work of the deepest and most important character. It is a work not to be entered upon as one decides to learn a trade or go to work in a store, but it demands the consecration and devotion to duty of the highest and noblest of callings.
It should never be a mere wage-earning occupation, and those who are engaged in it only as a matter of business, must fail of the highest success. So must all those who measure their results chiefly by the accumulation of facts in the minds of their pupils, or by their per cent. in the ex- aminations.
The good teacher makes the school a pleasant place, be- cause she is pleasant in looks, in manners, in speech and in disposition.
She makes it a pleasant place because she is continually thinking of the good, and happiness of her pupils, and de- vising means to develop the former and to increase the latter.
She doesn't need to tell her pupils this; they know it as the flower knows the sun and turns to it for light and warmth.
She doesn't irritate the pupils by being irritable and out of sorts, and consequently nearly all the days are sunny.
She does not make the pupils feel that her work is a bur- den, and that she would far rather be in other society.
She does't snub them because they are children, nor does she try to make them feel that they are not as good as "grown up folks," for she doesn't feel that way.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
There is a warm place in her heart for every one of them, and especially for those to whom the hearts of others per- haps may have grown cold.
Such a teacher will never make any pupil feel that she has a dislike to him and thus lose all influence for good over him, but she will make him feel his own mistakes and follies.
She will bear in mind the fact that many a rogue has a sensitive, tender heart, that harsh sarcasm pierces as with a knife and makes a wound that may never heal.
She will be extremely careful in making accusations of wrong-doing or wrong-speaking in cases about which there is any room for doubt, knowing that there is nothing that so rankles in a child's heart, as a sense of injustice, and of un- fair treatment.
The good teacher will ever be on the alert to seize on new methods of teaching, and fresh illustrations; her enthusiasm for her work will be a perennial spring, always bubbling up in a clear and steady stream, not subject to temporary stag- nation, nor sluggish in its flow.
The good teacher always remembers that "true education is the formation of character ; and character is the outcome of habits so firmly fixed that they have become second na- ture," that such habits are built up by persistent and patient effort, and most effectually by the subtle, pervading influence of a true and noble example.
Is the standard here set for the teacher too high ? We think not ; and we may consider our town fortunate that so many of our teachers have earnestly strived to reach it. Let them feel that their efforts and their labors are appreciated.
Let us give them the encouraging word and the helping hand, and by our words and deeds make them feel that we believe that their work is second to none in importance, or in its far-reaching influences.
The usual statistics of the schools are herewith submitted as a part of this report.
