REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Melrose :
The school board of Melrose presents the following re- port :
The condition of the schools and such matters as pertain to their superintendence are fully set forth in the report of the superintendent to the board.
Our purpose is to make report on the business which has devolved upon the board, viz: the expenditure of the appropriation for schools, including the repairs and con- dition of the schoolhouses, and the needful outlay therefor during 1899.
The amount of the appropriation for the support of schools, in March, 1898, with the added balance of 1897-'98, together with sundry receipts, made a sum available for the schools during 1898, of $76,569.89. Of this sum there has been expended $71,547.20, leaving a balance to the credit of the school department, December 31, 1898, of $5,022.69. The desire of the committee has been to expend all that was necessary for the best efficiency and accommodation of our schools and of the teachers connected therewith, but not to expend the school funds because a generous amount was within the control of the board. No necessary de- mands for expenditure in the interest of our schools have
288
SCHOOL REPORT.
been refused, and no bills within the knowledge of the board, which were incurred in 1898, have been left unpaid.
The board, through its committee on repairs, did not accomplish all it planned and hoped to do; but what was done was a permanent betterment to several buildings. Nearly all of the schoolhouses are supplied with suitable closets, and are connected with the Metropolitan sewer. The principal exception is the Joseph Warren schoolhouse, which should be thus connected during the next summer vacation, and the necessary addition made to the building for the placing of closets. Repairs were made on the Ripley schoolhouse, and the cellar floor cemented ; on the Converse, by placing a cellar under a part of the build- ing, putting in new closets and adding to the heating apparatus ; on the Winthrop, which was also provided with new closets, new supply water pipes, etc .; the house was reshingled and the sewer connection was made; at the Whittier, the out-building was remodelled within, improved closets placed, heating apparatus added to, new water pipes for supply laid and the sewer connection made.
The old Franklin street building was remodelled on the front, the roof was reshingled, the room papered and painted, a bowl set and minor repairs made for the accom- modation of a kindergarten school, which was located there to avoid the crossing of railroad tracks by the little children on their way to and from school. The new buildings have necessitated some changes, additions and repairs, and the steam pipes of the Lincoln and high school buildings have been covered with magnesia-asbestos, as a measure of econ- omy. The steam pipes in the Washington schoolhouse should have the same treatment the present year.
The high school was removed from the Lincoln school- house, and was successfully installed in the new building in September last. With increased accommodations there
289
SCHOOL REPORT.
came enlarged opportunities, of which the committee has taken all advantage possible. The departmental method has been introduced, and its results are very satisfactory. The chemical and physical departments, conducted by Dr. Shaw, called for a large outlay for supplies and apparatus, which were cheerfully procured. These departments have made great progress over previous years.
The business, or commercial department, conducted by Mr. Greene, located in rooms especially prepared and furnished for the accommodation of the commercial class, has already achieved a commendable success. The com- mercial desks were made in accordance with original draw- ings by Mr. Greene, and every approved appliance which could add to the efficiency of the department was cheerfully procured.
The furnishings in the building-desks, chairs, curtains, tables, etc.,-were procured only after patient and careful investigation. The rugs, curtains, fixtures and some of the movable furniture were selected and ordered by a sub- committee, consisting of the ladies on the board. The furnishings, so complete and appropriate, the supplies so abundant, the opportunities for progressive and satisfactory work, were all made possible by the generous appropriation of the town for the support of the public schools. The high school, in its present location, with its excellent accommodations, enlarged curriculum of studies and faith- ful teachers, is a credit to Melrose. he judgment, earnest purpose and enthusiasm of the principal, Mr. F. H. Beede, in conducting the school, are worthy of much commenda- tion.
The members of the board sincerely regretted the sudden decease of Mr. B. F. Robinson, who for several years occu- pied the office of superintendent of schools in Melrose. After careful investigation, Mr. F. H. Nickerson was unani-
290
SCHOOL REPORT.
mously elected to fill the vacancy. Though Mr. Nickerson has held the position of superintendent but a few months in Melrose, yet good results of his work are already apparent. The committee is reassured that the selection of Mr. Nick- erson, as superintendent, was a wise one and that through his good judgment and efficient labor the usefulness of our schools will be greatly increased.
The sub-committee on repairs report that, during the present year, it will be necessary to paint the Winthrop schoolhouse, inside and outside; the rooms in the Gooch schoolhouse should be retinted ; the Converse reshingled ; the Whittier painted ; the Warren furnished with modern closets and connected with the sewer; besides the usual minor repairs in other buildings.
Respectfully submitted,
OLIVER A. ROBERTS, Chairman of the School Board.
Approved and adopted by the board, Feb. 7, 1899.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Committee of Melrose :
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to present for your consideration the following report of the public schools of Melrose for the year ending December 31, 1898. This report is the ninth in the series of annual reports by the superintendent of schools, and the first to be submitted by the present incumbent of the office.
Inasmuch as I have been connected with your schools for a portion of the year only, I am unable to report as fully as I should be glad to do under other circumstances. Had it been possible in the time at my disposal to collate the necessary data, I should have presented considerable statis- tical information that might have been interesting and profitable as showing the development of the school system in your community. As it is, I can simply present the fol- lowing statistics :
