service that can be rendered by the commit- tees on boarding-houses and employment, visiting the sick, etc., will be cheerfully done. George S. Greene, at Packard's clothing house, is chairman of committee on visiting the sick. All physicians in the city have been invited to notify the commit- tee of any strangers here who are sick and unable to procure watchers, etc., and they will be kindly cared for. Dr. S. B. Bar- tholomew, 387 Main street, is chairman of the committee on boarding-houses and em- ployment.
Evening entertainments are occasionally held at the rooms, usually on alternate Wednesday evenings. The desire for social enjoyment, so natural in the young, has the hearty sympathy of the officers, and efforts to gratify it will be made in various ways. Prayer meetings are held at the rooms on Sunday evenings at 6 o'clock, for one hour ; also every week-day at 414 P. M.
Young people coming to the city find that their subsequent standing and success are determined largely at the outset, by their choice of good associates, care to improve leisure moments, and kind and helpful ef- forts for others in need.
The central and pleasant rooms are much frequented. Social gatherings here lave " full houses." Some of our best singers and glee clubs add the charm of their pres- ence and voices ; and there are select read- ings and other exercises of a lively or hu- morous character. Addresses are also de- livered occasionally here, by eminent speak- ers from abroad and by prominent citizens. Perhaps there is no better means of access to the social circles of our best people, than by meeting them and making acquaintance, in these rooms and in the churches.
Lay preaching, under the auspices of the Association, in various parts of the city, has been well attended. Meetings are held every Sunday afternoon at the railroad de- pot, and were continued seven months last year, in that place. In the winter a room near by is occupied, its free use being given by the Boston & Albany Railroad Com- pany.
Parents and pastors in other places do well to acquaint themselves with this insti- tution, and communicate with its officers when sons and daughters and friends come here to reside. Organized in 1864. Most
of the churches of the city are represented in the board of directors. President, Geo. C. Andrews ; vice-presidents, H. W. Hallett and O. D. Morse ; secretary, L. F. Pease.
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 P. Geer: clerk, Mrs. N. A. Leonard; treasurer, Mrs. He- man Smith ; corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. R. Hixon.
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 origi- nally purchased for $5,000, and the cost of the building in 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 been constantly increasing, till the present av- erage is nearly 45. The expense of sus- taining the institution has been proportion- ately 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 in- stitutions.
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.

There are 120 teachers employed in our public schools. The number of pupils in the day schools the past year was 4,055 ; in the evening school, 85; and in the draughting school, 140,-making a total of 4,280, and 710 more than in 1866. Over $75,000 is annually paid by the city for pub- lic instruction. Every two years, also, a large new school-house is completed ; so that in the past seven years the sum expend- ed for school buildings, if we include the new High school-house, is nearly $400,000. Yet by common 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-buildings and neat yards, and espe- cially because of the superior educational ad- vantages the children may have here. There are no vacant school-rooms, except in remote districts. From the north and south por- tions 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. The attendance last year, at one time, was 93.6 of all the chil. dren of school age in the city.
Except on Worthington street, each of the large school-houses is occupied by a gram- mar school, divided into several grades, as the different attainments of the pupils re- quire. Around this, in the smaller old school-houses, are the primary schools of the 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 gram- mar school ; here they study five years, ris- ing 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.
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 instruc- tion of these boys, and the change wrought in their manners and morals is oftentimes most gratifying.
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. Ap- paratus valued at $1,500 is provided for in- struction 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 superintendent, Mr. Stone, en- ters upon his public duties here with the be- ginning of the fall term. He comes from the charge of a very successful High School at Portland, Me., and was formerly Agent of our State Board of Education. His sal- ary will be $3,500.

The Museum occupies the first floor, and above is the Library pro- per. Light is admitted through sky-lights in the roof, fifty feet long, and through win- dows in the alcoves, as well. The building is warmed by two hot-air furnaces, and well ventilated.

The Museum is now rearranged in the new Library building, and is open to the public on Wednesday after- noons from 3 to 5. This institution origi- nated in 1860 with the Library Association, and occupied two rooms in the City Hall. It has about 1,500 species, and upwards of 3,800 specimens of shells, classified by Dr. Geo. A. Otis, formerly surgeon of the 27th Massachusetts Regiment ; also 9,000 speci- mens of insects; 900 specimens of stuffed birds ; 120 stuffed quadrupeds, including two enormous wildcats, killed in this county ; 115 species of fish and reptiles ; small cabi- nets of coral and crustacea; an extensive mineralogical cabinet; a large and very cu- rious collection of fossils; numerous Indian and foreign antiquities, and several flags and various other trophies captured from the Southern rebels by our home troops.
