We think that from the system of studies which we have attempted to make the same for children of equal ages and abilities throughout the different schools, our schools have derived considerable benefit, and we expect that by following this system they will, after some time, have about the same studies for similar classes of scholars.
Our annual Spring examinations have been carried on as nearly as possible in the course laid out for them last year : and, in comparing the results, we are satisfied that this method of written examinations is the best, and that there has been a marked improvement in answers them- selves and in the manner of writing the answers.
The following are the questions given out, -

The highest average obtained was 963, and the lowest 73.
And while upon this subject we would call the attention of the people to the necessity of in some way connecting the School Committee with the Trustees of the High School. There are many common points of interest be- tween the two, as will readily appear to every one ; and to us it seems that our examinations in the Grammar Schools should be made to correspond with that for en- trance into the High School.
It is of course a matter which lies wholly within the control of the voters, and we would simply suggest that there seems to be a need of something of the kind.
The whole number of children in town on the 1st of last May, was about 875. Of these, the largest number upon the School Registers at any one time was 753; and the average attendance of this last number was 77.6. There were employed in the schools during the year, twenty different teachers; and the schools in aggregate, kept one hundred and fifty-two months and ten days, - an average length to each school of nine months and ten days.
The number of children attending under five years of age, was thirteen ; and over fifteen years the number was fifteen. The cost to the town of each scholar attending was nearly $10.19.
We have been enabled to make all needed repairs, and still to keep within our appropriation : having a surplus, after reckoning the money from the State and the private funds, of about eight hundred dollars.
We would thank the voters of the town for the willing_ ness and promptness with which they complied, at the last annual meeting, with our application for an increased ap- propriation.
34
For the ensuing year we would recommend that the town make the following appropriations, -
For teaching,
$6,000.00
" fuel, 400.00
" care of rooms, 400.00
" incidental expenses, 850.00

The school for a little more than two years has been under the care and management of Mr. F. M. Tyler, as principal, and Miss Helen L. Webster, as assistant.
Notwithstanding there has been an unusual amount of sickness during the latter part of the school year, which has somewhat reduced the average attendance as com- pared with that of last year, still, that kind of discipline, intellectual culture, and refinement which is so essential and indispensable to the development of a school of a high standard, has been effectually introduced during the past year, and if continued, cannot fail to prove very beneficial to the community.
Monthly written examinations have been required of the pupils throughout the year, and their desired effect upon the school in point of thorough discipline has been fully realized.
To accord more fully with the original design of the school, as well as to meet the wishes of many citizens, the younger classes of the school have received instruc- tion in the principles of book-keeping.
Your Trustees cannot but again allude to the fact of parents and the friends of education, hesitating and neglecting to encourage the pupils of this school by fre- quently visiting them. But few persons, on this account, are capable of accurately judging of the merits of the school, or of marking the progress that has been made.
It is with much regret that here we must announce the resignation of the assistant teacher. Miss Webster has not only skillfully and faithfully performed her duties as
40
a teacher, but also has secured the respect of all who have been so fortunate as to make her acquaintance.
Of the credit which is due these teachers for the able and efficient manner in which they have conducted this school during the past year, it will not be necessary to comment further. In this report it is not so much the intention of your Trustees to remark upon the commendable proficiency which the pupils of the school have made in the various branches in which they have been instructed, as to place before the citizens of this community the present aspect of the financial requisition for the ensuing year.
In reference to the future prosperity of the school, there is much which requires the careful consideration and deliberate action of the town. In order to keep the school under its present discipline, it will be extremely necessary to retain the services of a competent female assistant. This cannot be done with the usual sum appro- priated by the town, unless the town assumes the expense of insuring and repairing Stetson Hall : and here, perhaps, it may be necessary for your Trustees to remind you that the expense of insuring and keeping Stetson Hall in re- pair is much greater than it was before its enlargement, or when the rate of insurance was less than at the present time.
At the last annual meeting of the town it was voted to assist in defraying the expenses of this school by raising the sum of five hundred dollars, of which two hundred dollars was directed by the same meeting to be appropri- ated for repairs upon the roof of Stetson Hall, thus leaving a balance of three hundred dollars only, to be used in de- fraying the expenses of the school. The income received for rent of Stetson Hall during the current year has been one hundred dollars less than last year. The ensuing year the resources for defraying the expenses of the school are to be still further reduced by being deprived of the rent
41
of the bank-room which has heretofore yielded the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars. On the 1st of April next three policies of insurance are to be renewed, which will require a sum of two hundred and twenty-five dollars.
In consequence of the small appropriation made by the town, your Trustees have been unable to meet the ex- penses of the past year by about two hundred and fifty dollars (bills to this amount still remaining unpaid) ; and. it is earnestly desired by your Trustees that the town will favorably consider their request, and cheerfully and readily make such an appropriation for the ensuing year as will sufficiently meet all the necessary expenses of repairing, insurance, and approximating the standard of an excellent High School.
In regard to the commencement of the ensuing school year, notice will be given elsewhere.
