MANY OF OUR CHURCHES are associated with the others of their denomination in the county for Christian work and culture. The Westfield Baptist Association gathers in convention, the third Wednesday in Sep- tember each year, representatives of each church of that denomination in the county ; their total membership, as reported at the last convention, is 3,013; number of churches, 16 ; Sabbatlı-school scholars, 2,798, and 254 teachers. The Association will meet this year with the Baptist Church in Westfield, the 9th of September.

SPRINGFIELD CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, Express block, 12 Court street. Instruction given in vocal and instrumental music. M. C. Zuchtman, secretary; F. Zuchtman, di- rector.
Women's Christian Association.
Room, Hurlbut's block, 344 Main street. Officers-President, Miss I. C. De Velling ; vice-presidents, Mrs. Josiah Hooker, and Miss Elizabeth Warriner ; recording secre- tary and treasurer, Mrs. A. M. Butterfield ; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Frank Beebe ; chairman of committee on boarding house and employment, Mrs. O. D. Morse, 73 Vernon 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 weekly sociables afford pleasant recreation and rest. An opportu- nity 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 intro- duction to this society. Assistance in find- ing suitable boarding-houses and employ- ment is given, and also attention in sickness. Instruction in writing is given to classes, without charge. A prayer-meeting is held every Tuesday by the ladies of the Associa- tion, in Winter at 3, and in Summer at 7 P. M. A sewing school meets at its room once a week, on Saturday afternoon. The object of this school is the instruction of young girls in sewing. Materials are furnished, and such garments as are made by the pu- pils are given them.
Applications for watchers for the sick should be made to either of the following named: Mrs. J. T. Chapman, 34 Bliss street ; Miss Mary Morris, Maple street ; Mrs. R. E. Ladd, 716 Main street ; Mrs. Ammon Moore, 93 High street, Mrs. W. Watts, 41 Dwight street ; Mrs. R. Rice, 22 Holyoke street.
Young Men's Christian Associa- tion.
Rooms in Hurlbut's block, 344 Main street ; open every week-day and evening, and free to all. The reading-room is the best in the city for public use, and supplied with various leading daily and weekly pa- pers, secular and religious, and popular magazines.
Strangers and young people, and espec- ially those who have just come to the city to reside, are cordially invited to come in. Any service that can be rendered by the committees on boarding-houses and employ- ment, visiting the sick, etc., will be cheer- fully 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 committee of any strangers here who are sick and una- ble to procure watchers, etc., and they will be kindly cared for. Mr. D. B. Montague, corner of Main and Bridge streets, is chair- man of the committee on boarding-houses and employment.
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
47

hearty sympathy of the officers, and efforts to gratify it will be made in various ways. Prayer-meetings are held at tlie rooms on Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, for an hour; also every week-day at 412 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 have "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 aquaintance, 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 Company.
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, Mil- ton Bradley ; vice-presidents, D. B. Monta- gue and D. F. Parker ; secretary, W. B. Parker ; treasurer, H. H. Bowman ; superin- tendent, J. H. Foulds.
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 origi- nally 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 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.
The Public Schools.
Superintendent, A. P. Stone. Office, City Hall; office hours, 12 to 1 P. M., dur- ing school days.
There are 128 teachers employed in our public schools. The number of pupils in the day schools the past year was 5,238. Over $75,000 is annually paid by the city for public instruction. Every two years, also, a large new school-house is completed ; so that in the past seven years the sum ex- pended 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-fur- nished school-buildings and neat yards, and especially because of the superior educa-
48

tional advantages the children may have here. There are no vacant school-rooms, except in remote districts. 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 hundred pupils in pri- vate schools. But the instruction 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 children 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 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.
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 afternoon, which are open to the public.
