While the general deportment has greatly improved, through the influence and orderly discipline of the princi- pal of the Everett School, we have been obliged to sus- pend three boys from one school for immoral conduct. They have since been readmitted, on conditions, and by promised reformation. The language of the Statute is : " The School Committee of a city or town have power under the laws of this Commonwealth, in order to main- tain the purity and discipline of the public schools, to exclude therefrom a child whom they deem to be of a . licentious and immoral character"; the intention of which is, that committees have power to protect the schools from the presence of any one whose influence would be injuri- ous to the whole.
During the past year some boys, in another district, were guilty of cutting down some ornamental trees in the school yard ; others, of the same school presumably, were guilty of besmearing the doors and steps of the building with filth. Complaints of these offences were laid before
117
the Selectmen, and they promptly offered a reward of $25.00 for the detection of the offenders, publishing the following statute as covering the case : Public Statutes, Chapter 203, Section 78, " Whoever willfully and ma- liciously destroys, defaces, mars, or injures a schoolhouse or other building used for purposes of education, or an outbuilding, fence, well, or furniture, apparatus, or other property belonging to, or connected with, such school- house, shall be punished by fine not exceeding five hun- dred dollars, or by imprisonment in the jail, not exceeding one year." This includes shade trees, lawns, or any property belonging to the schoolhouse and grounds.
The law requires that all children should be vac- cinated before admission to the public schools.
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL ROOM.
This, doubtless, is an unwelcome announcement to the tax payers ; but if the children are born they must be provided for. The school population is rapidly in- creasing. By the recent census, Norwood has nearly doubled during the past decade, having, at the present time, a population of very nearly four thousand. We have over six hundred pupils enrolled. Every school room but one has all its seats filled, and many have more than they can accommodate. There is what the lumber men call a "jam " in the C and D grades, also in the A grade. Mr. O'Brien has more scholars than the law allows for one teacher.
The needed relief might be obtained by the addition of an ell to the North School building, containing two rooms suitable for primary and intermediate grades. This, for the time being, would relieve the pressure in C and D grades in the Everett, and also afford space for an additional primary. We are graduating from too many schools into
118
the Everett building. The A and B grammar schools are overcrowded. The Committee cannot do justice to the teachers, nor the teachers to their pupils, under such crowded accommodations. If the town should cease to grow, we need another primary and another grammar school to accommodate the numbers we already have. The Committee, therefore, urgently recommend the addition of two rooms to the North building during the present season, to be ready for occupancy next September. This could be done for $3,000.00, and is the most economical arrangement that could be devised. It would bring relief to the inter- mediate grades, and allow us to place A and B in the Everett School, on the same grade, with a class in each room, one working on seven year and the other on eight year work.
Another thought of the Committee was, that a school- house should be built on Walpole Street for the accommo- dation of the increasing number of children in the Ellis neighborhood. But, not desiring to ask for both in one year, they are willing to leave it to the town to decide, through a suitable building committee, which would afford the greatest relief to the center schools.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The new building was dedicated, with proper cere- monies, May 22, and immediately occupied by the school, thoroughly glad of its new and commodious quarters. There were forty-three scholars on the roll at the time, and the number has remained about the same.
At the close of the year, July 2, two young ladies, Misses Foreman and Fay, were graduated, and given full diplomas. There are at the present time five in the grad- uating class. It is hoped that they will remain and be
119
prepared for the honors which the school authorities will be pleased to bestow at the end of the year.
The streets to the new building have been in a wretched condition, but we are pleased to record that they are soon to be remedied. The opening of the new building seems to have awakened a generous publie interest in the cause of education on the part of many of our citizens. A new piano, books, book-cases, chemical, electrical, and philo- sophical apparatus, have been given to the school by private citizens, to the amount of about $1,000.00. These timely gifts have been duly acknowledged by the School Com- mittce, and we take this method to thank them publicly for their kindly generosity to our infant High School.
CONCLUSION.
The public schools are means to an end. In them- selves they are fecble and imperfect institutions ; but they are instruments to great and noble results. They are helps to the use of our faculties in the mastery of the problems of life. Self government, self support, good cit- izenship, good eharaeter, depend largely upon the aid given by our public schools in calling ont what is within us. The people are sovereign ; they erect and maintain the State ; they control its industries, form and administer its government, manage its finances, control its intellectual and religious institutions. To do all this satisfactorily to themselves, they need education,-need to know how. The public schools in part supply this need; hence they are precious to every American heart. Their enemies are the enemies of liberty and true manhood. Let us make our schools as much better as we possibly can, and never sur- render them to the hands of those who eount ignorance a virtue and knowledge a deviee of Satan.

During the past year two American flags have been raised over two of our schoolhouses, under the leadership of Mr. M. J. O'Brien and Miss Viola F. Littlefield. The money was obtained by the scholars, and the flags were raised and dedieated by suitable public ceremonies. Patriotism and the duties of good citizenship are taught in the publie sehools, as also good manners and good morals. No dogmatic religion of any kind is taught, either orally or by book; but truthfulness, honesty, purity of speech and conduct, are inculcated on all suitable ocea- sions, every teacher being expected to take an interest in the growth of the heart qualities of their pupils, and to obey the Statute of the Commonwealth upon this in- portant subject.
