AUDITOR'S REPORT.
Town officers from whom bonds are required have given them, and the same are on file.
Vouchers are on file for all orders drawn on the Treasurer by the Selectmen, and the Treasurer's vouchers agree with all sums expended, and his various accounts are correct.
Books of the Water Commissioner and Treasurer of Sink- ing Fund, are accurate in all particulars.
Balances shown by reports from other departments, agree with Treasurer's balances, with the exception of a variation of one cent in Supt. of Highways Report, and one dollar and ninety-five cents in financial statement of School Report.
If it were possible to specify one department of the town's business as more important than another, it would seem as if that of the Collector of Taxes might stand first. The report of this department is submitted, as received from the Collector, which, in its totals, agrees with the Treasurer's books. Be- yond that it has been impossible to verify figures, as no books or vouchers (though requested) have been furnished, except a book which the Collector receives from the Assessors at the time taxes are levied on which are various marginal entries.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
One of the greatest glories of our national life is to be found in the public-school system. The bulwark of our nation's strength, in its superior citizenship, is in the com- pulsory and systematic education of our youth. In no land has there been a more rapid advance in civilization than in ours, and one of the greatest factors in this wonderful prog- ress is the public-schools system of our land. The crowning excellency of this method of instruction is that it is entirely secular, without any religious dictation. Dr. Mckenzie, of Cambridge, recently said : "In this country we have no great cathedrals, but we have big school-houses ; and big school-houses where characteristic men and women are formed are the grandest of all cathedrals." A good liberal education is a richer bestowment to any child than a large fortune in gold or property.
Let the child be well educated, then, with good health and a fair amount of push, life will be successful. Wayland, accord- ing to her wealth, has been quite as liberal in providing for the education of her children as other towns of the same size in the county.
WAYLAND CENTRE.
The retaining of a district school in Wayland Centre and the Rutter-district school has long since been a questionable policy with the committee. For some years it has been a troublesome problem how to gather these scholars in one building, and let thein have the advantage of a good system of grading. Centralization was strongly recommended by the committee in last year's report.
At a special town meeting held June 24, 1893, it was voted : "That R. T. Lombard, H. B. Braman, L. K. Lovell, Edward Carter, and S. M. Thomas be a committee, and in- structed to procure plans and specifications for a four-room school-building, to be heated by steam (or by any other sys-
80
tem which the committee may deem best), the whole expense not to exceed nine thousand dollars, and to report to the next annual town meeting."
In view of this decision, and in consideration of repairs necessary at the two district school-houses, the committee decided to make some changes in the high school building, so as to accommodate all the children except those from the North School. By removing stoves from the other buildings we were able to fix up the first floor and make two very comfortable rooms. By this method the upper room has been very much warmer. This change was not brought about without consulting the parents. In nearly every case there was a hearty approval of the plan, because there was a feeling that it would be greatly to the advantage of their children.
When this general consent was obtained and the plan was deemed a practicable one, the committee carefully considered the matter of principal. It was felt desirable, if possible, not only to have a competent teacher, but also one of experi- ence, who would thus be thoroughly fitted for the position, and one who would probably be willing to stay more than one year. We believe that a woman capable of doing, as efficiently, the same amount of work as a man should receive the same pay ; but as long as that is not the rule, we decided to take advantage of the prevailing custom, hoping by this means to avoid an annual and sometimes a semi-annual change. The committee therefore decided to employ an ex- perienced lady principal. Miss Taylor has proved to be very competent for the position. The disciplinary condition of the school has been very satisfactory. All the pupils, from the primary to the high-school students, have been carefully classified, and with the good corps of teachers under the principal's direction, the whole school, under this new departure, has had a very prosperous opening. The arrangement is now so good that when the new school-build- ing is ready for occupancy, everything will be in good order to bring the best possible results.
81
NORTH SCHOOL.
The children attending this school are scattered over such a wide territory, and are all of them such a great distance from the centre, that it was found impossible to make ar- rangements for their transportation to the central building, so the school has been conducted on the old district plan. Miss White, the present teacher, has been very enthusiastic and devoted to her work.
COCHITUATE SCHOOLS.
The same teachers that were employed at the writing of the last report held their positions till the close of the school year in June. The year closed with good results. There were five graduates from the grammar school. Quite a satisfactory per cent. of scholars from each room received promotion, and in very many cases there was good proof that the scholars had been very thorough in their work.
It is important to cultivate, in all our children, a true spirit of patriotism. One very pleasant feature of our spring term was the day given in commemoration of our fallen heroes. Each teacher provided a separate entertainment. There was an unusually large number of visitors, who went into every room, as it was arranged to have the exercises follow each other. The scholars did great credit to themselves and their teachers. This custom is becoming very widespread in our schools, and we esteem it a very wise one. Too much can- not be done to foster the true spirit of patriotism and espe- cially in the line of honorable remembrance of the brave men who gave their lives for the salvation of their country.
The committee, as usual, had to spend much time during vacation period in looking up new teachers. This year there were more than usual left for new fields. Only two came back at the opening of the school term in September, and one of them was soon taken sick and obliged to give up her school, so that, at the present time, we have only one
82
teacher in the building that was employed last year. In nearly every case the teachers who left us did so because of offers of larger salaries. Of course teachers are always ready to receive better pay, and we rejoice in the prosperity of teachers on this line ; but it makes a great deal of extra work for the committee and is usually harmful to schools. From this cause chiefly we have had twenty-six different teachers during the year.
At the beginning of the present school year it seemed as though there might not be any who desired to pursue high- school studies, so the committee tried to do without an assist- ant in the principal's room. But as soon as school opened several presented themselves, so that it was soon found to be altogether impracticable to do without an assistant, and after a little delay an excellent teacher was secured ; but sickness soon compelled her to leave her work. In a few days a teacher in every way thoroughly adapted for the position was found, who is still doing good service. The committee was very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Hefffon for the principalship in September. He has held the school in excellent condition, is doing faithful work, and the classes, under his immediate instruction, are making very commend- able progress.
Having only six rooms for nine grades besides students in high-school work, we found great difficulty in arranging them so as best to equalize the work of the teachers. The primary classes are always much larger than the higher grades. Because of this fact the scholars of the seventh, eighth, and ninth years' studies must all be in the principal's room. This, with a few high-school students, makes the room full, and, on account of having so many grades, makes the work heavy for two teachers.
As regards the present teachers in the building, we feel it is unnecessary to speak of them separately. We believe that they are all doing their work honestly, and are having admirable success. We would earnestly recommend the
83
parents to visit the schools where their children are, and see for themselves.
LOKERVILLE.
This building is still used as a primary school, principally for those who are not able to walk to the village. It is still in the hands of Mrs. Grace E. Loker, who is giving excellent satisfaction. There is quite an improvement here on all lines.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The committee has endeavored to make the course of study as perfect as possible, according to the means in their hands. It has long been felt very desirable to have better music-teaching in our schools; but the great difficulty has been that we were not able to employ a competent music- teacher. The matter being left with each teacher could not be perfectly carried on, as the instruction could not be sys- tematic. An effort is being made to remedy this trouble. The matter of drawing is also under very careful considera- tion. The committee is also making arrangements for prop- erly graded text-books on physiology.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
The committee finds that it requires very rigid economy (and sometimes it is a question if it be wise economy) in order to make the appropriation hold out. The time has certainly come when some text-books that are out of date must be replaced. The committee, as far as they had means, have commenced this work, and therefore feel that less money will not suffice. If business were better we should ask for more. The present appropriation only gives about one dollar for each scholar.
The expense of fuel at the present time is a serious con- sideration. Since the change in the Cochituate building, the coal bill has greatly increased. In order to bring the cost to the lowest possible figure, the committee asked for
84
bids, with the understanding that the coal was to be weighed on the town scales. Robinson & Jones offered for 25c. a ton less than others, and received the order.
APPROPRIATIONS.
We recommend for teachers' salaries, fuel, care of build- ings, and transportation of scholars, $5,700. For school supplies, $450.
For repairs and new seats, $200.

LIBRARY TRUSTEES' REPORT.
The Trustees of the Public Library herewith present their annual report for the year ending Feb. 28, 1894.
On the first of the present year the Library was inspected by the Trustees, and found in commendable condition, as far as the care and duties of the Librarian were concerned.
It has been difficult to warm the library room in the most inclement weather of the winter season for only one day in the week, after the rooms and the books. they contain have been thoroughly chilled through the remaining six days.
We have had the present wood-furnace put in complete re- pair to improve its heating capacity, and the result seems to be but a partial success.
Six years have elapsed since the fourth supplement to the library catalogue was printed, and another should be printed to give the readers the full benefit to be derived from the acces- sions to the library during that period.
This is a longer time than has elapsed between the issuing of either two of our previous consecutive supplements.
An appropriation for this object is necessary.
For details of our purchases, reference may be made to the Librarian's report and to the list printed in the town reports.
