Young Men's Christian Associa- tion.
Rooms, 211 Main street; open from 9 A. M. till 10 P. M., and free to all. Young men and strangers in the city are cordially invited to come in. The reading-room is large, well-lighted and comfortable, and supplied with some twenty-five of the leading daily and weekly papers and magazines. Short prayer-meetings are held at the rooms every week-day morning at 8 1-2 A. M., Thursday evening at 9 P. M., Saturday evening at 8 P. M., and Sunday eve- ning at 6 P. M. Social meeting, second Wednesday of each month. Annual meeting for election of officers, second Wednesday in November.
The Association was organized in 1864. Its members are from all the churches, and find many opportunities to do good. During the past year,
many ladies have joined, adding to the interest of the meetings, while they reach and benefit those of their sex who need aid, sympathy and counsel. There is a committee of five ladies and five gentlemen+ in each ward to visit the sick. There is also one on boarding- houses and employment, at the head of which are Mrs. J. F. Chapman (34 Pyn- chon street) for the ladies, and Charles S. Marsh (J. S. Marsh & Co.) for the gen- tlemen. Other committees are also raised, while all endeavor to promote Christian religion among the young men and women of the city. Out-door preaching has been found successful. Meetings were held in the Opera House during the winter, with sermons from different pastors. Prayer-meetings are maintained in outlying districts.
Young people coming to the city find that their subsequent standing and suc- cess are determined largely at the out- set, by their choice of good associates, care to improve leisure moments, and kind and helpful efforts for others in need.

Smith; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. J. R. Hixon; Auditor, Charles Marsh; Advisory Committee, Rev. S. G. Back- ingham, George Walker, D. H. Brigham, O. W. Wilcox, Charles Marsh, A. L. Soule. Applications for admission may be made at the Home on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, between 3 and 5 P. M.
This institution was established in 1865, to provide a temporary home for friendless and destitute women and children, and to give them employment and instruction, with the ultimate de- sign of providing for them a more per- manent situation, or of fitting them to maintain themselves.
Twenty-nine women and forty-three children have been received into the Home, for a longer or shorter period the past year, and a number were sadly turned away for want of room. The building is over-crowded, and funds are being raised for a new one on Magazine street, for the children, for which land has been given and a portion of the money subscribed. Of the children re- ceived last year, 22 came from Spring- field, 12 from other towns in Hampden County, 4 from Berkshire County, and 5 from Connecticut. One child was found at evening by the roadside, set- tling herself for the night on a little package of clothing, alone in the world, without father, mother, brother or sis- ter, and cast out by others because too young to attend behind a bar. During the past five years, 143 children have been received. It is believed, that an average of 100 annually ought to be provided for. Poor women who go out to work would gladly place their little ones here for safety during the day, and pay for the care of them.
The Public Schools.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS-E. A. Hubbard. Office, City Hall. Office hours, from 12 M. to 1 P. M. of each school day; Saturdays, from 10 to 11 A. M.
Strangers and citizens are alike inter- ested in our public schools. These well repay a personal visit, and are benefited by it. They indicate, too, the growth, intelligence and virtue of the city.
Ten years ago there were in Spring- field one evening and thirty-nine day schools; the pupils in them for the whole or a part of the year numbered 2,914, and the average attendance was 1,983. In May, 1870, there were ninety schools (as returned to the State), one hundred teachers, and 4,013 pupils in attendance. Ninety per cent. of all the children be- tween the ages of five and fifteen go to the public schools,-a larger proportion than ever before, and a better show than most other cities can make.
Most of the schools are arranged in groups as follows: North Main street group, including all north of the B. & A. Railroad; Elm street group, includ- ing all between Worthington and York streets, and between the river and Chest- nut and School streets; Worthington street group, including the streets near the depot, and from Chestnut street to the Armory, and from the B. & A. Rail- road to State street; Armory Hill group, including the Fifth Ward; Central street group, including Pine street and the Chapel; and Indian Orchard group. 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 pri- mary schools of the group. On Worth- ington street, the grammar school and primaries are in one building.
Children beginning in the primary school, in three years are prepared for the grammer 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 have readily admitted pupils from here, and sometimes into advanced classes.

There is an ungraded school on State street, 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, and numbers over 25 pupils. No doubt the aged and infirm inmates are some- what annoyed by the boys, and it would seem that the city might afford another place for it. Juvenile offenders, who might grow up a burden to society and a " curse to themselves," are sent here. The teacher has given head, heart and hands to the instruction of these boys, and the change wrought in their man- ners and morals is most gratifying Superintendent Hubbard says of them, in his report: "No company of boys, more gentlemanly, more manly than these, is seen in our churches, our Sab- bath-schools, or on our streets."
A training school has also been estab- lished on West State street, and is found of great advantage to inexperienced teachers, who receive a smaller salary, and are here qualified to fill responsible positions as vacancies occur.
The High School is too large for its building, and takes a part of the City Hall lately occupied by the public library. Scientific subjects receive more attention in this school than formerly. Appara- tus valued at $1,500 is provided for in- struction in philosophy and chemistry; and lectures, connected with these branches, are given every Tuesday after- noon, which are open to the public.
The large school-houses of the city, with two exceptions, are new, and furn- ished with all the modern improvements. They are already well filled with pupils, and yet more room is wanted in some localities. No more gratifying evidence could be given of the growth of Spring- field. People turn to look at these buildings in passing, as signs of the condition of the schools within; and strangers are attracted here, by the bet- ter facilities afforded for educating their children. Expenditures for educational purposes, by the city, the last few years,
may have seemed large, but none will yield a better return. We have already stated, on page 19, the cost of each of the new school-houses; we give here engravings of them and also of two older ones, prepared expressly for the Directory. Below will also be found the location of the schools, number of pupils, and names of teachers and their salaries, the last being for the year be- ginning September, 1870.

Library and Museum of Natural History.
Located in new Library Building on East State street, above Chestnut. Of- ficers-President, John L. King; Vice- President, Daniel L. Harris; Clerk, William Rice; Treasurer, J. D. Safford; Directors, George Bliss, Chester W. Chapin, J. M. Thompson, George Walker, Charles Merriam, J. G. Holland, James Kirkham, E. W. Bond, John B. Steb- bins, Samuel Bowles; Auditors, Charles O. Chapin, R. F. Hawkins. Librarian, Rev. William Rice; salary, $1,250.
The new Library building has just been completed, costing, with the land, about $100,000. Its architecture is the modern adaptation of the gothic, preva- lent during the middle ages on the con- tinent of Europe, and in England now, and known as the "mediaval revival." The building stands 60 feet back from the sidewalk and 12 or 14 feet above the level of the street. It is 100 feet long and 65 wide. The materials are brick, with trimmings of richly cut and carved light freestone from the Amherst quarries of Ohio, the exterior of the basement being of Monson granite. Two flights of broad granite steps, ter- minating in an arched stone porch, lead to the entrance hall, on the first floor, 20 feet wide, extending across the entire building. On the right of this is a room for the Museum, 30 by 50 feet, a similar room on the left for a reading room, and beyond is the Librarian's room. Above the first floor is the . Library proper, with a clear, open space in the center, 60 feet long, 20 wide and nearly 50 high. A series of columns with con- necting arches surround this spaceway,
and from their capitals spring arched ribs, which meet under the roof above. From these columns radiate in every di- rection the alcoves and galleries of the Library. Each alcove is 17 feet high, and the galleries extend around the room. Light is admitted through large central sky-lights, 50 feet long, and also by windows in the alcoves: Two hot- air furnaces warm the building, and ven- tilation is effectually secured. George Hathorne of New York was the archi- tect. Amaziah Mayo of this city was the contractor for all above the water table; Richard Ponsonby put in the granite foundations; Dwelly & Stone dressed the stone steps, posts and trim- mings; Howe & Whittemore did the brick masonry.
The Library is now closed for cata- loguing the books, and will not be open for several months. When the work of cataloguing is completed, it will be open every day to the public.
The number of volumes, June, 1870, was 27,600, exclusive of unbound pam- phlets. The additions during the past year amount to about 1,100 volumes. The Directors intend to purchase all the new works of popular interest as they appear, and are also continually adding to the Library standard works of per- manent value in the various departments of literature, science and art. Sub- scriptions, $1 per annum, for which two volumes can be drawn at once, and ex- changed every day, at the library hours.
MUSEUM-Curators, R. B. Hildreth, C. A. Emery, C. W. Bennett, J. A. Allen, and Solomon Stebbins. The Museum is now closed for re-arrangement in the new Library building. This institution originated in 1860 with the Library As- sociation, and occupied two rooms in the City Hall. It has about 1,500 spe- cies and upwards of 3,600 specimens of shells, classified-by Dr. George A. Otis, ·formerly surgeon of the 27th Massachu- setts. Regiment; also 7,407 specimens of insects; 650 specimens of stuffed birds; 104 stuffed quadrupeds, including two enormous wildcats, killed in this county;

115 species of fish and reptiles; small cabinets of coral and crustacea; an ex- tensive mineralogical cabinet; a large and very curious collection of fossils; numerous Indian and foreign antiquities, and several flags and various other trophies captured from the Southern rebels by our home troops. Additions are frequently made by the generosity of our citizens. Donations for the Li- brary or Museum may be left with the Librarian, Rev. William Rice.
