NOTE .- As this is the first time an attempt has been made to give an account of the shoe business in all its details, it may not be exactly correct, but probably approaches very near the actual sums. We recommend to the manufactur- ers to keep exact accounts of their business in all its partic- ulars, for their own interest, as well as for the purpose of making the succeeding numbers of the Directory more in- teresting.
SIZES OF SHOES .- As many persons do not know the " sizes " of shoes, we will take the liberty to inform them. A size is the length of one " barley corn," or one third of an inch. A size-stick is thus formed : Take a rule, or piece of wood, thirteen inches in length, and divide it into thirty-nine equal parts, of one third of an inch each. The first thirteen are left blank, and counted nothing. The second thirteen are called children's sizes. The third thirteen are called men's and women's sizes ; each marked from one to thirteen. Thus nine inches is a man's size No. 1. Ten inches is No. 4. Eleven inches is No. 7. Twelve inches is No. 10.

IF WE wish to make a few remarks on the propriety and importance of persons purchasing or selling land, having it measured, and the deed and title properly made and secured, by a competent surveyor. Many persons think that if they measure the land and write the deed themselves, they have saved a dollar; but probably more expense and property is wasted in lawsuits from this defect than from almost any other eause. Others employ some cheap surveyor, who un- derstands nothing of the variation or attraction of the com- pass, and who measures with a chain longer or shorter than the standard measure. Much of our business, both in and out of town, has been re-surveying these incorreet measure- ments, and renewing these imperfect deeds. In one instance we found a defeet of seven acres in a single farm, which made a difference of more than four thousand dollars to the proprietors. People cannot be too careful in securing their real estate. They are requested to remember that Alonzo Lewis makes surveying his business.

LYNN HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE.
The High School House, of whose external appearance the engraving on the next page is a good representation, was erected at a cost of about $7000. under the superintend- ence of a building committee appointed by the town, March 16, 1850. It was dedicated January 8, 1851. An appro- priate address was delivered by Rev. B. Sears, secretary of the Board of Education, and addresses were also made by Messrs. Hood, Shackford, and Jacob Batchelder, jr.
The house is warmed and ventilated in the best manner. It is thoroughly built; and though without any superfluous ornament, is in good taste, and provided with ample accom- modations. The main school room is about forty-six feet square and sixteen fect in height. The two recitation rooms are each twenty-two by twenty-five feet. These are furnished with settees, and the school room with Wales's patent desks and chairs. The whole cost of building, grading, fencing, seats, apparatus, &c. has been about $9,500. The appro- priation by a vote of the town for this object was $12,000.
The number of scholars admitted in 1849 was forty-seven ; in 1850, about the same number. At the examination for admission of scholars this year, (1851,) seventy-one candi- dates presented themselves, and forty-two were admitted. It is intended that there shall be, at this school, a three years' course of study. In order to enter, pupils are required to pass a good examination in the elementary studies pursued at the Grammar Schools. And those scholars who complete the prescribed three years' course of study, shall be entitled to receive a diploma, signed by the teachers and the school committee. At present there are seats provided for one hundred and twenty scholars.
For two years the school has maintained the highest repu- tation, and it is, undoubtedly, an institution of which our city may boast, as one of the best in the state. The school, when full, will be under the instruction of one principal and two assistants. The pupils receive the best instruction, without money and without price. They are removed from the annoying presence of smaller scholars; and, in the eom- modious rooms provided for them. they can prepare them- selves, by an extended course of mathematical, philosophical and elassical studies, for the responsibilities of active life.

The Business Cards displayed in this work exhibit a laudable spirit of enterprise, showing that Lynn is not exclusively a shoe-manufacturing city, though it takes the lead, in that respect, as exhibited on page 155. With such advantages in our midst, it will hardly be required of us to advise our citizens to patronize home industry, on which, in a great measure, must depend the growth and prosperity of our young city.

GEORGE WEBB MUDGE,
considering his reputation as a dry-goods man permanently established, deems it useless-or at least unnecessary-to advertise in the public prints ;- but announces very respect- fully to his friends and patrons, that

will be precisely the same as it has been the
PAST FOUR YEARS ;
referring with pleasure to the course pursued, as being one on which no improvement can be made.
In sustaining him in his endeavors to please, his friends will accept his sincere thanks; and trusting that a continuance of their favors will still be extended to him, he assures them that every reasonable exertion will be used to meet their views-being conscious that his knowledge of their wants will essentially aid him in catering for their tastes in the most gratifying manner.
