At the close of the school year in June, Mary L. Howard resigned her position as teacher of No. 6 school, to accept a more lucrative position at Medford, and Miss Hannah F.
38
Hoye of the Quincy training school was appointed to fill the vacancy, and has given good satisfaction.
During the year the committee have secured many books at exchange rat 's, and the expense to the town reduced, as we believe it a wise policy where books are badly worn to ex- change them for later editions where it can be done advan- tageously.
The committee have also introduced into the schools the Normal System of music, and secured the services of Prof. Meisner to instruct the teachers and pupils in the new system, which is not so complicated as the old National System and more easily understood by both teachers and pupils, and part of the expense of instruction was borne by the teachers, and we can truthfully say, that as good results will be secured in this study as are secured in others.
There has been the usual amount of sickness to interfere with school attendance, especially during the last term of school which closed March 8, but it was confined mostly to the smaller children ; still there are parents who are contin- ually urged by the committee and teachers to send their chil- dren regularly to school, as a pupil cannot be absent for a single day without serious loss to himself and damage to the school. Scholars who stay out of school often without suffi- cient cause are generally dull and fall behind in their classes, and the parents of those children wonder why they failed of promotion.
The parents share does not consist simply in providing the necessary means for carrying on the schools, but rather in extending to the teachers the aid and sympathy which comes from actually knowing of the work to be done in the schools, and intelligent criticism based upon actual knowledge, will always be hailed with delight by a good teacher, but indis- criminate fault-finding and lack of interest, all tend to repress the best efforts of those having direct charge of the schools.
39
By the enumeration under the charge of the committee as required by the statutes, there were in the town on May 1, 1888 six hundred and thirty children between five and fifteen years of age, a decrease of twenty-two from the census of 1887, and the annexed table will give the attendance in each school. The committee have introduced water into the Pres- cott, North Grammar and No. 1 school buildings at a cost of $212.26, and this year the committee ask for an appropriation of $150 to introduce it into other school buildings.
The Prescott school house needs shingling and other small repairs and we ask for a special appropriation of $500 for the same, and $200 for repairs on No. 6 school-house.

APPENDIX.
LAWS RELATIVE TO SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE.
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF 1888. [CHAPTER 348.]
AN ACT in relation to the employment of children. Be it enacted, etc., as follows :
SECTION 1. No child under thirteen years of age shall be employed at any time in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment. No such child shall be employed in any indoor work, performed for wages or other compensation, to whomso- ever payable, during the hours when the public schools of the city or town in which he resides are in session, or shall be em- ployed in any manner during such hours unless during the year next preceding such employment he has attended school for at least twenty weeks as required by law.
SEC. 2. No child under fourteen years of age shall be em- ployed in any manner before the hour of six o'clock in the morn- ing or after the hour of seven o'clock in the evening. No such child shall be employed in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment, except during the vacation of the public schools in the city or town where he resides, unless the person or cor- poration employing him procures and keeps on file a certificate and employment ticket for such child as prescribed by section four of this act, and no such child shall be employed in any indoor work, performed for wages or other compensation to whomsoever payable, during the hours when the public schools of such city or town are in session, unless as aforesaid, or shall be employed in any manner during such hours unless during the
50
year next preceding such employment he has attended school for at least twenty weeks as required by law ; and such employ- ment shall not continue in any case beyond the time when such certificate expires. The chief of the district police, with the approval of the governor, shall have authority to designate any kind or kinds of employment in factories, workshops or mer- cantile establishments as injurious to the health of children under fourteen years of age employed therein, and after one week's written notice from the said chief to the employer or his superintendent, overseer or other agent of such designation no such child shall be employed in any such kind or kinds of em- ployment in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment.
SEC. 3. No child under sixteen years of age shall be em- ployed in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment unless the person or corporation employing him procures and keeps on file the certificate required in the case of such child by the following section, and also keeps on file a full and complete list of such children employed therein.
SEC. 4. The certificate of a child under fourteen years of age shall not be signed until he presents to the person author- ized to sign the same an employment ticket, as hereinafter pre- scribed, duly filled out and signed. The certificate and the employment ticket shall be separately printed, and shall be in the following forms respectively, and the blanks therein shall be filled out and signed as indicated by the words in brackets : -
EMPLOYMENT TICKET, LAW OF 1888.
When [name of child], height [feet and inches], complexion [fair or dark ], hair [color], presents a certificate duly signed, I intend to employ [him or her]. [Signature of in- tending employer or agent.]
[Town or city and state.]
51
AGE AND SCHOOLING CERTIFICATE, LAW OF 1888.
This certifies that I am the [father, mother or guardian] of [name of child], and that [he or, she] was born at [name of town or city ], in the county of [name of county, if known], and state [or country ] of [name], on the [day and year of birth], and is now [number of years and months], old.
[Signature of father, mother or guardian. ]
[Town or city and date. ]
Then personally appeared before me the above-named [name of person signing] and made oath that the foregoing certificate by [him or her] signed is true to the best of [his or her] knowledge and belief. I hereby approve the foregoing certifi- cate of [name of child], height [feet and inches], complexion [fair or dark ], hair [color], having no sufficient reason to doubt that [he or she] is of the age therein certified.
[Signature of person authorized to sign, with official character or authority. ]
[Town or city and date. ]
In case the age of the child is under fourteen, the certificate shall continue as follows, after the word " certified ": - And I hereby certify that [he or she] can read at sight, and can write legibly, simple sentences in the English language, and that [he or she ] has attended the [name] public [or private] day school according to law for [number of weeks, which must be at least twenty] weeks during the year next preceding this date, and that the last twenty weeks of such attendance began [date]. This certificate expires [date, one year later than above date].
[Signature of the person authorized to sign, with official character or authority. ]
If attendance has been at a private school, also signature of a teacher of such school, followed by words, - certifying to school attendance.
[Town or city, and date. ]
In case a child cannot read and write as above stated, the
52
following may be substituted for the clause beginning "and I hereby certify," through to and including the word "language :" " and I hereby certify that [he or she] is a regular attendant at the [name] public evening school ; " but in such case the cer- tificate shall only continue in force for as long a time as attend- ance of such child at such evening school is endorsed weekly during the session of such evening school, not exceeding the length of the public school year, minus twenty weeks, in place of attendance at day school, as now provided by law, with a statement from a teacher thereof, certifying that his attendance continues regular. If attendance has been at a half-time school, forty weeks of such attendance must be certified to, instead of twenty. The foregoing certificate must be filled out in dupli - cate, and one copy thereof shall be kept on file by the school committee. Any explanatory matter may be printed with such certificate, in the discretion of the school committee or superin- tendent of schools.
SEC. 5. In cities and towns having a superintendent of schools, said certificate shall be signed only by such superin- tendent, or by some person authorized by him in writing ; in other cities and towns it shall be signed by some member or members of the school committee authorized by vote thereof : provided, however, that no member of a school committee, or other person authorized as aforesaid, shall have authority to sign such certificate for any child then in, or about to enter, his own employment, or the employment of a firm of which he is a member, or of a corporation of which he is an officer or employee. The person signing the certificate shall have authority to admin- ister the oath provided for therein, but no fee shall be charged therefor ; such oath may also be administered by any justice of the peace.
SEC. 6. The certificate as to the birthplace and age of a child shall be signed by his father, if living and a resident of the same city or town ; if not, by his mother ; or if his mother
.
53
is not living, or if living is not a resident of the same city or town, by his guardian. If a child has no father, mother or guardian living in the same city or town, his own signature to the certificate may be accepted by the person authorized to ap- prove the same.
SEC. 7. No child who has been continuously a resident of a city or town since reaching the age of thirteen years, shall be entitled to receive a certificate that he has reached the age of fourteen, unless or until he has attended school according to law in such city or town for at least twenty weeks since reach- ing the age of thirteen, unless exempted by law from such attendance. Before signing the approval of the certificate of age of a child, the person authorized to sign the same shall refer to the last school census, taken under the provisions of section three of chapter forty-six of the Public Statutes; and if the name of such child is found thereon, and there is a material difference between his age as given therein and as given by his parent or guardian in the certificate, allowing for lapse of time, or if such child plainly appears to be ,of materially less age than that so given, then such certificate shall not be signed until a copy of the certificate of birth or of baptism of such child, or a copy of the register of its birth with a town or city clerk, has been produced, or other satisfactory evidence furnished that such child is of the age stated in the certificate.
SEC. 8. The truant officers may, when so authorized and required by vote of the school committee, visit the factories, workshops and mercantile establishments in their several cities . and towns, and ascertain whether any children under the age of fourteen are employed therein, contrary to the provisions of this act ; and they shall report any cases of such illegal employ- ment to the school committee and to the chief of the district police, or the inspector of factories for the district. The in- spectors of factories and the truant officers, when authorized as aforesaid, may demand the names of all children under sixteen
54
years of age employed in such factories, workshops and mercan- tile establishments ; and may require that the certificates and lists of such children, provided for in this act, shall be produced for their inspection. Such truant officers shall inquire into the employment, otherwise than in such factories, workshops and mercantile establishments, of children under the age of fourteen years, during the hours when the public schools are in session, and may require that the aforesaid certificates of all children under sixteen shall be produced for their inspection ; and any such officer, or any inspector of factories, may bring a prosecu- tion against a person or corporation employing any such child, otherwise than as aforesaid, during the hours when the public schools are in session, contrary to the provisions of this act, if such employment still continues one week, after written notice from such officer or inspector that such prosecution will be brought, or if more than one such written notice, whether relat- ing to the same child or to any other child, has been given to such employer by a truant officer or inspector of factories, at any time within one year.
SEC. 9. Every parent or guardian of a child under four- teen years of age who permits any employment of such child contrary to the provisions of this act, and every owner, super- intendent or overseer of any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment who employs or permits to be employed therein any child contrary to the provisions of this act, and any other person who employs any child contrary to the provisions of this act, shall for every such offence forfeit not less than twenty nor more than fifty dollars, for the use of the public schools of the city or town. Every parent, guardian or person author- ized to sign the certificate prescribed by section four of this act, who certifies to any materially false statement therein, shall be punished by fine not exceeding fifty dollars, or by imprison- ment not exceeding thirty days, or by both such fine and im- prisonment. A failure to produce to a truant officer or in-
55
spector of factories the certificate required by the provisions of this act shall be prima facie evidence of the illegal employ- ment of the child whose certificate is not produced.
SEC. 10. The expressions " factory " and " workshop " used in this act shall have the meanings defined for them respec- tively by chapter one hundred and three of the acts of the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven.
SEC. 11. Within one month of the passage of this act the chief of the district police shall cause a printed copy thereof to be transmitted to the school committee of every city and town in the Commonwealth.
SEC. 12.

THE TURNER FUND.
City of Minneapolis Bond $1,000 00 .
The financial account annexed gives a full exhibit of all the receipts and expenditures for the year ending March 1, 1889.
During the year the school-rooms have been painted and re- pairs made where needed, and the building should be painted outside, and the hall also is very much in need of painting, and we trust that the town will appropriate money for the same, and we have made an estimate of the probable cost. For painting the building outside and the hall, six hundred dollars. For frescoing hall, six hundred dollars. The build- ing has not been painted since 1879 and should be painted as soon as possible.
