Wherever it could be done the roads were scraped to fill the ruts, the small stones removed and the water kept out of the road. In the fall quite a sum of money was expended in carting gravel on the road through the middle of the town, and later in the season the grade of Causeway Hill was reduced by cutting off the top and filling the hollow at the bottom of the hill. The piece of road near the railroad station was thoroughly graded early in the winter.
Lee's Bridge required some repairs which were attended to at an expense of $64.64, as will appear by the accompanying detail of expenses.
Early in the season we felt the need of some more efficient appliance for scraping the roads, and in the fall an agent for Pen- nock's patent road machine proposed to send us one on trial, which we assented to and have received and tried a little, and feel so far satisfied with as to recommend its purchase for the town.
This report includes the expenses to Feb. 1, 1882, which amount to $1,413.23, leaving a balance unexpended of $586.77. Since
14
this report was commenced the expense of breaking snow roads has been large enough to reduce the balance on hand very much. Our roads will need much done upon them the coming year, and we recommend a liberal appropriation for that purpose.
The guide-boards have not received any particular attention the past season, but we believe they are generally in good condition. Below will be found a statement of our expenditures.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF LINCOLN,
FOR THE
SCHOOL YEAR 1881-82.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The School Committee of the town of Lincoln sub- mit the following report of the condition of the Schools under their care for the School year 1881-2.
NORTH SCHOOL.
Teacher,-MISS LILLIE W. GALE.
Spring Term,-Whole number of pupils, 21; aver- age attendance, 18; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term,-Whole number, 23; average attend- ance, 20.6 ; length of term, 11 weeks.
Winter Term,-Whole number, 22; average attend- ance, 8 weeks, 18.
The School was put under the care of Miss Gale in the Spring, and was her first experience in teaching. At our visits we have always found the school-room neat and orderly, the pupils quiet and studious, and the teacher busily engaged in her duties. The school has moved on quietly during the year, and, so far as we know, without a murmer of complaint or ripple of disorder.
EAST SCHOOL.
Teachers,-MISS JENNY I. PEIRCE, MISS ALICE M. PEIRCE.
Spring Term,-Whole number of pupils, 17; aver- age attendance, 10} ; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term,-Whole number, 22; average attend- ance, 17.6 ; length of term, 92 weeks.
4
Winter Term,-Whole number, 23; average attend- ance, 8 weeks, 16.
The Spring and Fall terms were taught by Miss Jenny I. Peirce, who kept a quiet and orderly school. Soon after the Winter term commenced her health and courage failed her, and her sister took her place, and the school has been a satisfactory one. We have to record, however, that the school-room has been invaded several times during the night by some persons-ap- parently boys-who have carried off the clock and some smaller articles, and committed other petty acts of vandalism.
SOUTH SCHOOL.
Teachers,-MISS SARAH S. BAKER, MISS BERTHA M. HOWE.
Spring Term,-Whole number of pupils, 46; aver- age attendance, -; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term,-Whole number of pupils, 45; average attendance, 35.4; length of term, 11 weeks.
Winter Term,-Whole number of pupils, 54; aver- age attendance, 10 weeks, -.
Miss Baker taught the Spring term, displaying the same watchful care, energy and faithfulness which have characterized her labors from her first entrance as teacher. Near the close of the summer vacation she resigned her situation as teacher, and we were obliged to acquiesce in her decision. There is no law, custom or authority, which prevents any teacher, how- ever useful, from assuming the duties of that position which every young lady is permitted to have an honor- able ambition of attaining unto, and we hope she may be as successful in adorning the new position as the old.
5
After some delay, her place was supplied by Miss Howe, who had received a two years' course of instruc- tion in the Normal School at Framingham, and who had been engaged a longer time than is usually allotted to pupils there, in the training school. She came highly recommended to us by the Principals of the school, bringing all the qualifications for the place a young lady can possess, except those that are gained in the school of experience. In the care and manage- ment of her school, she had all the trials and difficul- ties to encounter which young teachers usually have, and many others beside. In the first place she was homesick, and bravely contended with herself and overcame that. Then it is no easy task to succeed such a teacher as Miss Baker, who had long experience and thoroughly knew all her pupils, their attainments, dispositions, and capabilities, and their surroundings and home influences -easier, oftentimes, to succeed a poor than a good teacher. Then her methods were new, both to parents and pupils, and exposed her to unfair and unjust criticisms. With regard to her methods, we have only to say that they are the best the most distinguished and skilful educators of the age have been able to devise, and have been approved of and adopted wherever they have had a fair trial. Under all discouragements she was patient, persistent, cheerful and hopeful, and succeeded in satisfying the reasonable expectations of the Committee, and those parents who felt interest enough in the school to visit it, and acquaint themselves with the methods pursued, and results obtained. On the assembling of the school for the Winter term, there were more than 50 scholars in attendance, and the Committee thought best to pro-
6
vide an assistant teacher, and Miss Helen W. Kelly was employed.
After two prosperous weeks the hooping cough made W its appearance in the school, which in a few days emptied the school-room of a portion of its pupils, and turned it into a sort of hospital for the rest. Of all known epidemics there is none so utterly demoralizing to the usefulness of a school. The incessant cough- ings, and continual expectorations, are trying to the nerves of visitors even, and raise the inquiry how teachers and pupils who are not afflicted with the malady are able to endure it. Another disturbing in- fluence in the school has been the presence of a few unpromising specimens of Young America, who seem to entertain very inflated ideas of their own rights and importance, and to have little or no regard to the rights of others, and no respect for any authority, human or divine.
Still the teachers are patient, hopeful and persever- ing, and have strong faith in their ability to do good work, and we have noticed with pleasure the interest they take in their little pupils, and the place they are gaining in their affections. The cheerful greetings and affectionate good nights of the pupils fall sweetly on the ear, and the interest they take in calisthenics and music, and their improvement in reading, spelling, writing and good behavior, which are the essentials of education, are worthy of commendation.
CENTRE PRIMARY SCHOOL.
Teacher,-MISS CARRIE B. CHAPIN.
Spring Term,-Whole number of pupils, 35; aver- age attendance, 27.6; length of term, 11 weeks.
7
Fall Term,-Whole number of pupils, 31; average attendance, 24.5; length of term, 11 weeks.
Winter Term,-Whole number, 26+; average. at- tendance, 10 weeks, 22+.
Miss Chapin is the only teacher in our schools who has been in the service a year, and she has fully sus- tained her well-earned reputation of a faithful and successful teacher. The order and discipline of the school are creditable to her and her pupils, and worthy of especial commendation, and there has been a marked improvement in the appearance of the writ- ing books. Her methods of teaching arithmetic are similar to Normal methods, thorough and effective. English Grammar, that wofully neglected branch of education, receives more attention in her school than in the others, but not so much as it should receive. Spelling, English grammar, including the use of cap- ital letters, and rules of composition and chirography, enter largely into the construction of every letter one writes, whether longer or shorter,-of business or friendship - and if the education of the writer is de- fective in any of these branches, he sends a certificate thereof, under his own hand and seal to the receiver- sometimes to be preserved by the recipient to be exhibited to acquaintances, to provoke their laughter or criticism. Far better would it be for our pupils, if our teachers encouraged them to spend their time in thoroughly mastering those branches which are of daily use in daily life, than to spend it in the acquisi- tion of dead languages, which will be of no more use to nine-tenths of them in after life, than dead men's bones. It is enough that one man in a hundred is a good linguist, or skilful engineer or architect,-it is
8
enough that one man in five hundred attains a critical knowledge of Greek roots and accents and Hebrew characters, so that he can translate books in those languages for others to read, -it is enough that one man in five hundred thousand knows enough of math- ematics to construct logarithms, calculate eclipses, and explain the principles and variations of the differen- tial and integral calculus, -but it is important, all important, that every man and every woman, too, should be thoroughly instructed in the branches of common school education.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Teachers,-MR. ALFRED O. TOWER, MR. DANA P. DAME.
Spring Term,-Whole number of pupils, 25; aver- age attendance, 20.3; length of term, 11 weeks.
Fall Term,-Whole number, 21; average attend- ance, 17; length of term, 11 weeks.
Winter Term,-Whole number, 23; average attend- ance, 6 weeks, 20.3.
The Spring term was taught by Mr. Tower with the same fidelity and success that distinguished the two previous terms, and we were happy when he accepted our invitation to resume his labors in the Fall. When September came the teacher returned, but the first class left,-and the evil was four fold. In the first place, take away from any school six of its brightest ornaments-their example, influence and inspiration- and the character of the school is inevitably lowered. In this case, there was the added injury that some
9
others left who would have remained if the six had not left. In the next place, it had a depressing influence on the teacher. If the pupils left to enter the Univer- sity, or some institution like the Normal schools, where special instruction is given for some particular profes- sion, the feeling might have been different; but as most of those that left went to similar schools in other places, it probably awakened a suspicion in his sensi- tive mind that we were somehow dissatisfied with him, and he was discouraged by their leaving, and gladly obeyed the call to " go up higher." . Now the fact that a boy, trained in our High School, with no other means whatever of preparation for college than what is afford- ed by it,-with no other appliances of learning than is found in the home of the average New England farmer, -performing all the while a large amount of manual labor, and thereby often necessarily detained from school,-was able to enter Harvard University without conditions, speaks volumes in praise of the school and the teachers. No better results in teaching have been anywhere attained, and no stronger evidence could be produced of the value of a school, and the ability of the teachers. And, lastly, the exodus of the pupils endangered the existence of the school. When the High School was established, it was argued that certain individuals in town were paying as much for the edu- cation of half a dozen pupils out of the town, as it would cost to maintain a High School in town; and it was urged that it would be better to spend the money in town, where all the children could have the benefit of a High School, and be under parental care and super- vision, than to send the pupils and money out of town where their health and morals might suffer. These
10
were considered sound and valid arguments, and they prevailed. If they were unsound or weak, the founda- tion of the High School is unsound, and its existence imperilled.
When Mr. Tower left, his place was supplied without the interruption of a day by Mr. Dame, who brought to the duties of the position, qualifications and abilities similar to those of his predecessors, and the school seemed to suffer little by the change; but in six weeks he, too, had a "louder call," and we felt constrained to release him from his engagement. Thus, in less than three years, three teachers have left our High School,-one to assume a Professorship in one of the best endowed institutions in the State, and the other two to be Principals of High Schools in other places, where they receive double the compensation they received here, and where they have hundreds of pupils and corps of teachers under their care.
After Mr. Dame left, Mr. Stratton assumed the care of the school, with the interruption of a day only. He seems to be a gentleman well qualified for the place, and appears to be doing good work.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The Selectmen herewith submit a detailed report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the town for the municipal year, for which they have drawn orders on the Treasurer. They are for the usual expenditures of the year, and on account of the suits by and against the town.
The suits brought by the town against Mr. Chapin were to re- cover the balance of the unpaid taxes of the year 1875. The suits were pending at the writing of our last report, and were, soon after, decided against the town.
Immediately after a decision was reached in those cases, Messrs. Samuel H. Pierce and James L. Chapin commenced suits against the town to recover pay for their services as Water Commissioners, Mr. Chapin claiming also about twenty dollars for expenses in- curred on account of the Water Works before May 18, 1876, the day the water works were ordered to be stopped. As the town and its committees had never objected to paying them for their services as Water Commissioners, that we are aware of, we con- sented to the settlement of those suits, the town paying no costs thereon.
