day would be surprised at the amount of good effected in them. In many of them a whole session is spent and not a single act of disorder is witnessed, and in effecting all this the responsibility does not rest with the teachers alone. The wisest and most faithful administration of the schools on the part of the teachers and Committee, will not of itself secure to them the highest success. Parents should encourage by precept and example the highest forms of human excellence, and the teachers of the public schools should co-operate with them (as it is made their duty by the laws of the State), thereby securing the prevalence of " the principles of piety, justice, and sacred regard to truth, love to their coun- try, humanity and universal benevolence, sobriety, in- dustry and frugality, chastity, moderation and temper- ance, and those other virtues which are the ornament of human society, and the basis upon which a republi- can constitution is founded."-General Statutes, chap- ter 23, section 7.
The greatest hindrance to the progress of some schools is inconstancy of attendance. Of the 1276 children in town on the first day of May last, as certified by the Assessors, only 1196 are enrolled on the school registers, including those attending Stetson High School, leaving 80 scholars to be educated elsewhere or not educated at all. The inconstancy of attendance is to be deprecated, whether regarded in a pecuniary, intellectual or moral point of view. It has during the last year involved an absolute loss to the town of nearly 1.16 of the amount appropriated for the support of schools, for it costs no more to instruct the whole than it does a part. It also retards the progress of those pupils who are regular and faithful attendants, as it conflicts with
39
all efforts at systematic instruction. The scholar who is irregular in his attendance evinces the same irregu- larity in the prosecution of his studies, and this will be likely to follow him into other relations of life.
Several of the cities and towns have availed them- selves of an Act, chapter 207, laws of 1862.
AN ACT concerning Truant Children and Absentees from School.
Be it enacted, &c., as follows :
SECT. 1. Each city and town shall make all need- ful provisions and arrangements concerning habitual truants, and also concerning children wandering about in the streets or puplic places of any city or town, having no lawful occupation or business, not attending school, and growing up in ignorance, between the ages of seven and sixteen years ; and shall also make all such by-laws respecting such children as shall be deemed most conducive to their welfare and the good order of such city or town ; and there shall be annexed to such by-laws suitable penalties not exceeding twenty dollars, for any one breach : provided, that said by-laws shall be approved by the superior court sitting in any county in the Commonwealth.
SECT. 2. Any minor convicted of being an habitual truant, or any child convicted of wandering about in the streets or public places of any city or town, having no lawful occupation or business, not attending school, and growing up in ignorance, between the ages of seven and sixteen years, may, at the discretion of the justice or court having jurisdiction of the case, instead of the fine mentioned in the first section, be committed to any such institution of instruction, house of reforma- tion, or suitable situation provided for the purpose, under the authority of the first section, for such time, not exceeding two years, as such justice or court may determine. [Approved April 30, 1862.]

In consequence of the high prices ruling, in every department of business, it has been necessary to in- crease the wages of teachers or be deprived of their services or induct those into office who were less com- petent, to teach, but believing the town would sanction the former course, the Committee have retained the services of some of our best teachers by so doing. Under the appropriation of last year many teachers have received but little more than enough to pay for their board. It must be obvious to all that such a state of things cannot long exist. It was supposed the money appropriated at the last annual meeting would be sufficient, but prices have steadily advanced, while the appropriation remained the same for the year. Fuel cost more than twice as much as it did the previ- ous year. In order to have each school taught thirty- eight weeks the present year it will be necessary to raise $6800, exclusive of fuel and care of rooms, which sum is but $800 more than was raised in 1861 and '62, that is allowing the same number of schools to exist. If suitable room accommodations could be obtained in District No. 8, an additional school might be organized to very great advantage, which would still increase the expenses.
Having thus briefly presented some points con- nected with our public school system, the committee will only add the expression of their confident belief that upon this great and beneficent system of free pub- lic instruction, of which our own public schools form an important part, alone can we rely for the sucessful de- velopment and growth of this Republic. We cannot fail to recognize in our free public schools that solid foun-
41
dation upon which alone a State can be erected secure against any and every storm that may assail it. Almost with the first settlement of New England, was the common school established, and it has been transmitted · to us as a noble inheritance. May we transmit it to our posterity, unimpaired, as one of our richest legacies.
We close with an extract from the concluding por- tion of the report of the Secretary of the Board of Ed- ucation, made more than twenty years since, and which is as appropriate at the present time as it was at that period :
" Surely, never were the circumstances of a nation's birth so propitious to all that is pure in motive, and great in achievement, and redundant in the means of universal happiness. Never before was a land so con- secrated to knowledge and virtue. Never were children and children's children so dedicated to God and to hu- manity, as in those forest-solitudes,-that temple of the wide earth and the overarching heavens, girt around with the terrors of ocean and wilderness, afar from the pomp of cathedral and court, in the presence only of the conscious spirits of the creatures who made and of the Creator who accepted their vows,-we, their de- scendants, were devoted to the cause of human free- dom, to duty, to justice, to charity, to intelligence, to religion, by those holy men. The contemplation of these historic events brings more humiliation than pride. It demands of us whether we have retained our vantage-ground. It forces upon the conscience the solemn question, whether we have been faithful to duty. Stewards of a more precious treasure than was ever before committed to mortal hands, are we prepared to exhibit our lives and our history as the record of our stewardship ? Have we prevented the growth of vice and pauperism amongst us, by seeking out every aban- doned child within our borders, as the good shepherd seeks after the lambs lost from his flock ; and by train-
i
e
1-
S r
42
ing all to habits of industry, frugality, temperance, and an exemplary life ? Have we remembered that, if every citizen has a right to vote when he becomes a man, then the right of every child to that degree of knowl- edge which shall qualify him to vote, is a thousand times as strong ? Have the more fortunate classes amongst us,-the men of greater wealth, of superior knowledge, of more commanding influence, - have they periodically arrested their own onward march of improvement, and sounded the trumpet, and sent back guides and succors to bring up the rear of society ?
" The experience of the ages that are past, the hopes of the ages that are yet to come, unite their voices in an appeal to us,-they implore us to think more of the character of our people than of its num- bers ; to look upon our vast natural resources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride, but as means to be Dis converted by the refining alchemy of education into mental and spiritual treasures ; they supplicate us to Dis seek for whatever complacency or self-satisfaction we are disposed to indulge, not in the extent of our territo- ry, or in the products of our soil, but in the expan- Di sion and perpetuation of the means of human happiness ; they beseech us to exchange the luxuries of sense for the joys of charity, and thus give to the world the example of a nation whose wisdom increases with its prosperity, and whose virtues are equal to its power. For these ends, they enjoin upon us a more earnest, a more universal, a more religious devotion of our exertions and resources, to the culture of the youth- ful mind and heart of the nation. Their gathered Di voices assert the eternal truth, that, IN A REPUBLIC, IGNO RANCE IS A CRIME; AND THAT PRIVATE IMMORALITY IS NOT LESS AN OPPROBRIUM TO THE STATE THAN IT IS GUILT IN THE PERPETRATOR.
