Room, Hurlbut's block, 344 Main street. Officers-President, Miss I. C. De Velling ; just come to the city to reside, are cordially
1st vice president, Mrs. Homer Merriam ; 2d vice-president, Mrs. Josiah Hooker ; recording secretary, Mrs. A. M. Butter- field ; corresponding secretary, Mrs. S. D. Hollister ; chairman of committee on board- ing-house and employment, Mrs. Homer Merriam, 367 State street.
The object of this Association is the im- provement of the religious, intellectual, so- cial and temporal welfare of women in this city, especially of young women. To those who are supporting themselves here, away from their own homes, its open and free reading room and sociables afford pleasant recreation and rest. An opportunity is thus afforded them for making acquaintances and friends. Pastors and parents in other towns would help the work, by giving to their young women, coming to Springfield for employment, letters of introduction to this society. Assistance in finding suitable boarding-houses and employment is given, and also attention in sickness. A prayer- meeting is held every Tuesday by the ladies of the Association, in Winter at 3, and in Summer at 7 P. M. A sewing school meets at its rooms once a week, on Saturday after- noon. The object of this school is the in- struction of young girls in sewing. Ma- terials are furnished, and such garments as are made by the pupils are given them.
Applications for watchers for the sick should be made to either of the following- named : Mrs. J. F. Chapman, 30 Bliss street ; Miss Mary Morris, Maple street ; Mrs. R. E. Ladd, 716 Main street ; Miss Mary A. Fuller, 62 Auburn street ; Miss Roxana Chapin, Massasoit House ; Mrs. N. Cate, Walnut street.
Young Men's Christian Associ- ation.
Organized in 1864. Rooms at present in Hurlbut's block, 344 Main street ; open ev- ery week day and evening from 9 A. M. to 10 P. M .; free to all. The association con- templates during the present year opening larger and more attractive rooms and there- by enlarge their sphere of usefulness. The reading-room is supplied with the leading daily and weekly papers, secular and reli- gious, and the most popular magazines.
Strangers, and especially those who have
invited to visit the rooms. George F. Greene, at Packard's Clothing House, chair- man of the committee on visiting the sick, and D. B Montague, corner of Main and Bridge streets, chairman of the committee on boarding-houses and employment, will cheerfully render any service to all who may call for assistance.
Evening entertainments of a social or musical character, or both, are occasionally held at the rooms, and are always well at- tended.
A preaching service is held at the rooms every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, con- ducted by the pastors of the city. Prayer- meetings are held every Sunday at 6 P. M. for one hour; week-day meetings at 4.30 P. M. During the warm weather out-door meet- ings are held at the depot, Hampden Park, and other points in the city on Sabbath af- ternoons, conducted by the members of the association. A cordial welcome is extended to all who come in.
The officers of the Association are as fol- lows : President, Milton Bradley ; vice-pres- idents, D. B. Montague, D. F. Parker; sec- retary, W. B. Parker; treasurer, H. H. Bowman ; general secretary, Sumner J. Lincoln. Office hours, 11 to 12 A. M., and 1 to 3 P. M. at the rooms.
Homes for Friendless Women and Children.
The Home for Women at No. 62 Union street, and the Children's Home on Buck- ingham street, are under the direction of the same corporation, which was organized in 1865.
The present officers are : President, Mrs. William Rice; vice-presidents, Mrs. S. Merrick, Mrs. George Walker ; clerk, Mrs. Josiah Hooker; treasurer, Mrs. Heman Smith ; corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. R. Hixon; auditor, Mr. Charles Marsh. An- nual meeting the second Wednesday in Oc- tober.
For several years the Home in Union street was used for both women and chil- dren, but the number of inmates increased till there was not room to contain them, and the Children's Home was erected in 1871; since which time the house in Union street has been used for women only, or for mothers with infants.
The house on Union street was originally purchased for $5,000, and the cost of the building on Buckingham street was $16,000. All this amount was raised by the liberal subscriptions of the citizens of Springfield, aided somewhat by those of neighboring towns.
Since the occupation of the Children's Home, the number of inmates has largely increased. The greatest number at any one time was 45. The average number the past year has been about 30. The expense of sustaining the institution has been propor- tionately increased, but the citizens respond with corresponding generosity to the calls of the managers, for they are confident that a good work is well done in these institu- tions.
Application for admission may be made at the meetings of the managers on alter- nate Fridays, or at other times, to any of the officers of these institutions.
The Public Schools.
Superintendent, A. P. Stone. Office, City Hall ; office hours, 12 to 1 P. M., dur- ing school days, and from 10 to 12 on Sat- urdays.
There are 128 teachers employed in our public schools, and 12 in evening schools. The number of pupils in the day schools the past year was 5,448, and in evening schools, 404. The total value of school- houses and lots in the city is $532,000, and a large sum is expended annually for im- provements and repairs to keep the schools up to their present standard. Yet by com- mon consent, the money yields handsome returns, even according to a mere pecuniary view of the matter. For many people are induced to come here and settle, because of the attractive, well-furnished school-build- ings and neat yards, and especially because of the superior educational advantages the children may have here. There are no va- cant school-rooms, except in remote dis- tricts. From the north and south portions of the city, as well as from the center, there is a call for more room. It is certainly a healthful sign. There are also a few hun- dred pupils in private schools. But the in- struction given in our public schools is so thorough, and the training so excellent, that

the attendance is not likely to be diminished by any rival efforts.
Except on Worthington street, each of the large school-houses is occupied by a grammar school, divided into several grades, as the different attainments of the pupils require. Around this, in the smaller old school-houses, are the primary schools of the group. On Worthington and Central streets, the grammar school and primaries are in one building.
Children beginning in the primary school, in three years are prepared for the grammar school ; here they study five years, rising through successive grades to the High School, where, in four years more, they are fitted for college, or the seminary, and so well fitted that Yale, Harvard and the other colleges readily admit pupils from here, and sometimes into advanced classes.
There is one ungraded school, and to this the truant officers, by kind and judicious efforts, gather many children who would otherwise lose the advantages of education. The truant school is at the almshouse.
The training school on Union street, west of Main, is found of great advantage to in- experienced teachers, who receive a smaller salary, and are here qualified to fill respon- sible positions as vacancies occur.
In the High School, scientific subjects re- ceive more attention than formerly. Appa- ratus valued at $3,500 is provided for instruction in philosophy and chemistry ; and lectures, connected with these branches are given every Friday afternoon. There is also a free draughting school in which there are 157 pupils.

It has about 1,500 species, and upwards of 3,800 specimens of shells, classified by Dr. George A. Otis, formerly surgeon of the 27th Massachusetts Regi- ment; also 9,000 specimens of insects ; 1,000 specimens of stuffed birds ; 120 stuffed quadrupeds, including two enormous wildcats, killed in this county ; 115 species of fish and reptiles ; small cabinets of coral and crustacea ; an extensive mineralogical cabinet ; a large and very curious collection of fossils ; numerous Indian and foreign an- tiquities, and several flags and various other trophies captured from the Southern rebels by our home troops.
