and prized by all. One " colored gentle- man" puts upon his sign that his " white- washing " is " done scientifically."
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, including 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 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 col- lege, or the seminary, and so well fitted that Yale, Harvard and the other col- leges readily admit pupils from here, and sometimes into advanced classes.
There are two ungraded schools, and to these the truant officers, by kind and judicious efforts, gather many children who would otherwise lose the advant- ages of education.
The truant school is at the almshouse. Juvenile offenders, who might grow up a burden to society and a " curse to them- selves," are sent here. The teacher has given head, heart and hands to the in- struction of these boys, and the change wrought in their manners and morals is most gratifying. .
The training school on Union street, west of Main, is found of great advant- age to inexperienced teachers, who re- ceive a smaller salary, and are here qualified to fill responsible positions as vacancies occur.
The High School, too large for its building, still occupies a part of the City Hall. Scientific subjects receive more attention in this school than for- merly. Apparatus valued at $1,500 is provided for instruction in philosophy and chemistry ; and lectures, connected with these branches, are given every
Thursday afternoon, and part of the year also on Tuesday afternoons, which are open to the public. The new building, now in course of erection for this school, is described on a preceding page.
Six large school-houses have been built since 1865, and their aggregate cost is a little over $250,000. They are furnished with all the modern improve- ments, pleasantly situated and attractive. From the new one on Central street, may be seen some of the finest views in the city. Flowers grow within and without; the yards are well kept, and surrounded with neat fences. Of the good effect of these kindly influences upon the children, even the birds testify, for in the gate-post of one school-yard they have built their nest and reared their young unmolested.
