It may be of interest here to note the number of visitors in the various schools as recorded by the teachers during the year. This includes visits by the Committee : -

It is commented by teachers that a larger part of visitors are young people not parents. A teacher of a primary school remarks that during the three years that she has been teaching, but four parents have visited her school at other times than on examination days, and she has a daily attendance of twenty-three children from five to eleven years of age The value of visits by those interested in school-work cannot be over-estimated. Pupils are accustomed thereby to recitations to others than the teacher ; they are more careful in the framing of sentences if reciting to strangers, and are given an additional interest if it is known that visitors may call at any time and listen to their recitations.
The ages of pupils vary from five to sixteen. There are in attendance at the present time one under five, eighteen who are fifteen, and two who are sixteen years of age. The last annual report suggested the fact that there should be a larger attendance of pupils who are fifteen years of age and upwards. It has been argued that children know more at fifteen at the present time than we or our fathers did at a maturer age. Observation has not con-

vinced us that such is the fact in our town. Your Committee urge this point : that our youth be given as good opportunities for learn- ing as possible, and that they in turn may make best possible use of advantages afforded. Pupils leave our primary schools and enter the grammar grade at about ten or eleven years of age. Not many remain in school after they are fifteen. A pupil of good ability is of course prepared to enter a High School at fifteen years of age. Some of ours do. There are at the present time five attending Hanover Academy, one at the Hanover High School, and two at the Rockland High School. There are others in attendance at other institutions, but we are not informed of their number.
It should be remembered that though our schools are of primary and grammar grades, subjects are taught which properly belong to the High School. This is particularly true of the graded schools. Among such studies are Algebra, Geometry, Book-keeping, Phys - cal Geography, Natural Philosophy, and the more advanced study of grammatical analysis. The work properly belonging to the first year's course of a High School is done in some of our grammar schools. It is done, too, without loss to the grammar grade proper. But to receive the advantages of such studies, pupils must remain in school until they are fitted to pursue them. The teacher has much to do with the pupil. If the teacher be interested in school-work, has tact, is himself a student, and possesses a happy faculty of im- parting interest to the pupils, they remain in school much longer than under less favorable circumstances. Again, in an ungraded school the more advanced studies cannot of necessity be attended to so well as in graded. The diversity of ages does not permit of it. That these facts may be the more apparent, we present the follow- ing table : -

If, as has been shown, so much is dependent on the character and ability of the teacher, it becomes the duty of every incumbent of the teacher's office to look well to his or her own qualifications. Anticipate the pupil. Impart a spirit of inquiry after fact and principle. Let your character be the fit example for younger minds. Incompetency or the least indication of a lack of moral 'rectitude should awaken a spirit of dissatisfaction which should demand the prompt removal of such a teacher. But again, judg- ment should not be hastily reached. Nor should the parent express to the child a dislike for or distrust of the teacher. Satisfy your- self that a teacher is in error and communicate with him or those who employ him. But to return to the table. It appears that a graded grammar school offers to its pupils advantages superior to the ungraded, and that pupils become aware of the fact and remain in such a school to a maturer age than in the ungraded. It was shown in the last annual report that districts Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 have no graded school and enjoy inferior advantages to districts 1, 2, or 7. It was mentioned that one or two graded grammar schools located in a position easy of access to children of these districts would be of great advantage to the districts. The plan is again suggested for your consideration.
Teachers are requested to enforce the statute requiring vaccina- tion of all children attending school. The general prevalence of small-pox throughout the country demands that particular precau- tion be taken at this time.
The agency for school-books at West Scituate is transferred on this date to the store of Mr. Beverstock. The transfer is made in consideration of a petition for the agency by Mr. Bever- stock, in which he represents that he is a citizen paying taxes, whereas the former agent was not a resident or tax-payer of the town.
· Your Committee do not report perfection as existing in the schools during the year. Possibilities for improvement have sug- gested themselves which lead us to their adoption or to endeavors for their gradual introduction. The study of free-hand drawing has been introduced with success into some of our schools during the year. Teachers are always advised that a thorough understanding of principles is to be inculcated. We find room for improvement in reading in many of our schools. Pupils should understand
.
41
thoroughly the subject matter to be read, and should be taught to render as the speaker or writer would have done.
With the fact previously emphasized that the graded schools have superior advantages, it is unnecessary to state that in them the best results are attained. This is as true of primary as of grammar grades. Observation of the schools leads us to a deep interest in them and to renewed exertions for their further improve- ment.
We recommend an appropriation for the ensuing year of $2,800.00 for school purposes, and of $250.00 for repairs, $100.00 of which to be expended in re-seating the school-house at District No. 3. The universal co-operation and courtesy of teachers, parents, and pupils is acknowledged.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
TO THE VOTERS OF SOUTH SCITUATE : -
The Selectmen submit for your consideration the Thirty-third Annual Report of the financial condition of the town January I, ¥883.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
The town at its annual meeting in March last voted to raise $2,000 for the ordinary repairs of roads, which was apportioned among the several surveyors. The town also appropriated $200 to be placed in the hands of the Selectmen for extra repairs, and of this amount but very little has been used.
REPAIRS OF POND STREET.
The town appropriated for the rebuilding of this street $500. The work was placed in charge of Richard P. Briggs, who has nearly completed the repairs. There has been paid for labor and material $848.74 and it will cost about $50 more to complete the work. It will then be one of the best roads in town. As the street is not used to any great extent by citizens of this town, but by those residing in other towns in the county, we petitioned the County Commissioners to allow a part of the expense to be paid from the county treasury, and there has been allowed to the town $400 of the above cost.
WINTER STREET.
For the rebuilding of this street there was appropriated $500. There has been paid for labor and material $433.69, and it will need
4
an appropriation of at least $500 the present year to complete the necessary repairs as ordered by the Commissioners.
Some of the surveyors have cleared their roads of bushes, while others have given them but little attention. We believe that the work should be continued, or all that has been done in that direc- tion will be lost.
At the meeting in April last the Selectmen were instructed to make a report in print relative to the purchase of a road machine. They have not been able to see one in operation, yet they have seen persons who have used them in towns in this vicinity, who claim that they will save a large amount of labor, and work well. The cost is $150. It will be sent on trial, and if it does not give satisfaction, can be returned at the expense of the company. From what information we have been able to get, they seem to be coming into general use, as many who have them claim that a town can hardly afford to be without one. Should the town see fit to pur- chase one the coming spring, it would, we think, be well to place it in charge of some suitable person to use when and wherever it is necessary, as one person would soon learn to use it at its best advan- tage, and would do much better work than any one unacquainted with using it.
SUPPORT OF POOR OUTSIDE OF ALMSHOUSE.
There has been paid for partial support $1,710.45. Of this amount $714.00 was for assistance to those having a settlement in other towns.
SUPPORT OF POOR AT THE ALMSHOUSE.
The average number of inmates the past year has been fifteen and seven-eighths. A larger number than for many years. Five have been admitted, and five discharged. There have been three deaths, namely, Antoinette Williams, Siba Briggs, and Francis Birchmore.
Mr. Frank Goodwin and wife, who have had charge at the alms- house since April last, have conducted the affairs of the house and farm to the satisfaction of the Overseers, and, we trust, of the citi- zens of the town.
5
REPAIRS OF TOWN HALL.
The cost of repairs of the Town Hall have been $863.61. The work was placed in charge of Mr. F. H. Curtis. One coat of paint has been put upon the outside of the building. The hall now compares favorable with those in other towns. You will see by the agent's report, that the receipts since it was completed have exceeded those for the same time for many years.
