FORSTER SCHOOL-HOUSE .- In the summer of 1881, two school- rooms were constructed in the hall of this building. During the present year, the remaining portion of the hall has been divided into two school-rooms. The building now contains twelve school- rooms, all of which are occupied by schools.
This building was dedicated April 13, 1867, and first occupied by schools, five in number, on the second day of May following. The steam-boiler which had been in use ever since the house was dedicated, was displaced by a new one during the summer vaca- tion, and the entire heating apparatus was thoroughly renovated.
The first Forster school-house was completed and occupied by schools, three in number, early in the year 1855. It was burnt February 18, 1866.
HIGH SCHOOL-HOUSE .- For the convenience of the High School, the partitions in the third story of this building, have been re- moved and two school-rooms, each thirty by thirty-one feet, have been constructed, leaving a hall sixty-three by sixty-four feet. This change, which does not mar the beauty of the hall or materi- ally diminish its capacity, will, probably, render the accommoda- tions of the building equal to the wants of the school for several years to come.
PRESCOTT SCHOOL-HOUSE .- The steam-boiler in this building has been in use sixteen years. The safety of the schools that will occupy the building, will require the substitution of a new boiler for the old one, sometime during the coming year. This building was dedicated June 16, 1868, and first occupied by schools, eight in number, on the 20th day of the same month.
HIGHLAND SCHOOL-HOUSE .- By order of the Board of Health, this building was vacated, for sanitary considerations, on Tues- day, December 11, and will not be occupied again until after

the Christmas vacation. The schools which have occupied this building, have been subjected to several interruptions during the year, in consequence of defective means of heating and ventilation.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS.
EAST SOMERVILLE AND PROSPECT HILL DISTRICTS .- All the school-rooms in East Somerville district are occupied by schools. One room is hired for school use. In Prospect Hill district there are only two vacant school-rooms; one in the Bennett school-house, which will be required for the accommodation of children in its immediate neighborhood, early in the coming spring, and one in the Webster school-house. All of the occupied

rooms in the district are full ; those in the L. V. Bell school-house are crowded. Large accessions will be made to the ninth class in this building, when pupils of that grade are admitted in April next.
In each of these two districts there are many dwelling-houses just completed, or in process of construction, which will be occu- pied in a few months.
Present emergencies, and the necessities of the immediate future, seem to demand that measures be adopted at an early day, to furnish additional and permanent school accommodations in these two districts.
WEST SOMERVILLE DISTRICT .- All the school-rooms in this district are occupied except one room in the Lincoln school-house. The principal's room in the Highland school-house contains fifty- nine pupils, thirty-nine of whom are members of the second class. The ninth class contains sixty-three pupils, all in one room. Large numbers will be added to this class in the coming spring.
Two additional school-rooms will be required in this district next year ; one in April for the sixth class, and one in September for the second class.
CEDAR STREET SCHOOL-HOUSE .- This building is insufficient to accommodate the primary-school children who live in its immediate neighborhood. £ The crowded condition of the schools which occupy the building was relieved temporarily, in September, by sending a portion of the seventh class to the schools of that grade in the Forster and the Highland school-houses. Those buildings cannot afford further relief ; hence, when the usual accessions are made to the ninth class, in April next, an additional school-room in the neighborhood of the Cedar street school-house will be a necessity.
