This school remained under the tuition of Miss Emily S. Brown, its previous teacher, during the winter term, and the ex- amination at its close showed commendable progress. Miss Anna Tolman was appointed her successor, and entered upon her labors with enthusiasm, and soon won the confidence and affection of her pupils. The school was managed with tact and
45
ability, and made rapid improvement. Reading should receive special attention in this school, and more life and energy in recitation would add greatly to its general appearance.

During another year this school has been favored with the services of Miss Martha W. Brooks, one of our best and most successful teachers. Intense life and activity characterize the school. Due attention has been given to each scholar and each study, nothing apparently being overlooked or neglected, and the pleasantest relations exist between parents, pupils and teacher.
We record with sadness the death of two members of this school, one, a little boy of five summers, the other, a young lady of more than usual promise, talented, amiable, and greatly be- loved by all who knew her.

DISTRICT NO. 6.
This school during the winter and spring continued in charge of Miss Mary L. Ells, who had been its instructor most of the time for several years, and who conducted it acceptably to the Committee and the people generally. Miss Sarah Gardner (who had taught several years successfully in an adjoining town) was engaged for the fall term. She commenced her labors with energy and ability, but got badly poisoned, which so affected her eyes, she was obliged to relinquish her position after teachlı- ing eight weeks. The Committee made earnest but ineffectual efforts to obtain a suitable teacher to finish the term. We mean, however, that the children of this District shall enjoy equal advantages with others, and intend to prolong the present term.

The winter term of this school was taught by Miss Susie A. Oakman. Mutual good feeling prevailed. The teacher en- deavored to do her best, but suffered greatly from poor health. In the spring Miss Deborah N. Hatch was employed, and com- menced her work with over fifty pupils, but in a few weeks an alarming sickness began to prevail; two bright, interesting children were suddenly removed by death, and the school sadly interrupted. The fall term was a highly successful one, and Miss Hatch is deserving of great credit. Under her manage- ment the school rapidly improved in all respects, and now ranks among the best in town.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the town of South Scituate present for the consideration of the Town, the Twenty-Seventh Annual Report for the year ending January 1, 1877.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
There has been expended the past year for extra and ordi- nary repairs, $2,368.77, it being $334.83 less than last year. The repairs on Grove street are not yet completed, the work being in charge of Pyam Jacobs, who is to receive $200 for the same when completed.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
The house in District 1 has been enlarged at an expense of $1,114.94 including furniture. It has now two good rooms of sufficient size for the accommodation of the children in that district.
The new school house in District 2 is not yet complete but will be ready for use in the coming spring. The building is 432x28 feet, two stories, and will accommodate about one hundred scholars.
TOWN HALL AND HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
The amounts paid on the above have been $627.76. There should be deducted from this amount $101.19 for sale of un- derpinning stone and brick. We believe that all bills con- tracted on the same have been paid, unless the contractor should present one which as yet he has failed to do.
4
SUPPORT OF POOR.
The cost for support of the poor out of almshouse the past year has been $1,700.21. There has been received and is due from State and towns, for allowance, $703.47, making a total cost to the town of $996.74, or $86.03 less than the cost to the town for eleven months in 1875. The questions of settlement of paupers between this town and the towns of Hanover and Pembroke have been amicably settled.
The cost for support of poor in the almshouse has been $1,455.21. We have, however, the past year, purchased an extra amount of bedding and furniture and also a new cook- ing range, and a part of the expense should be deducted from cost of support of inmates the present year. There has also been furnished meals and lodgings to 478 tramps, at a probable cost of $125. They are allowed crackers, molasses and cheap coffee. They are placed in the prison house, un- der lock and key ; a fire is furnished them, also blankets and straw for bedding. They have usually behaved well, although some of them are disposed to find fault with our mode of treatment. The largest number on any one night was 16.
The prison house was damaged by fire on Sunday evening, December 24th, and had it not been for the timely assistance of those living in that vicinity the building must have been destroyed. The cause was probably a defective flue, and to those who rallied at the alarm and fought the flames which threatened to destroy a large amount of property, are worthy of at least, the thanks of the town. The building was dam- aged to the amount of about $50. The expense of repairs, however, will not appear in this report.
By courtesy of George G. Dyer, Esq., executor of the will of Thomas Coffin, late of Plymouth, we have been furnished a copy of that portion of Mr. Coffin's will that relates to this Town, which is as follows :
"I give to the town of South Scituate in said Common- wealth, the sum of Two Thousand Dollars, in Trust ; never- theless to expend so much of the net income as in the judg- ment of the Selectmen shall be necessary for the proper care
5
of my family lot in the Cemetery in said town, and the bal- ance of said income, after said expenditure, to be applied in aid of the needy poor of said town, not resident in the Alms- house, according to the judgment of the Overseers of the Poor."
The question of paying an assessment of one per cent. on 418 shares of stock subscribed by this town to the capital stock of the Plymouth County Rail Road Company, was by vote of the town referred to Messrs. Harris & Tucker for their opinion.
They have reported to us their opinion in the case, and have also cited decisions of the Supreme Court which coin- cide with their opinion, "That the town is not liable to pay any assessment on the shares of said stock."
