HIGH SCHOOL.
The number of pupils in this school continues about the same as in our last report, notwithstanding the addi- tion of eleven new members from the lower schools at
4
50
our last annual examination in March. This class was admitted upon written examination, the questions hav- ing been prepared by Mr. Knowlton. Of all those examined, four or five only were rejected, upon full conviction that the lower schools would for a time con- tinue to be of more value to them than the High School. Doubtless in every instance where a pupil is refused admission to this school it is attended with disappoint- ment, not only to the pupil, but to the parents of the pupil, yet in the exercise of our judgment and duty to all concerned we must be prepared to say " No !" when that is the right word. It is a matter of regret that so few of the children in this town are permitted by their parents to qualify in the lower schools as they should and must before they can enter the High School, but with the too frequent interruptions in every term, the many absent days and lessons unlearned, the school work is as it were all honeycombed, and the pupil makes no substantial progress. The general condition of this school is quite satisfactory, though the average attendance for the last year is at a discount of four per cent. below that of the previous year. The stud- ies of Physics and Chemistry have maintained a promi- nent place in the general course of study, from a firm conviction of their practical utility in every day life, and their great value as discipline for the mind.
CENTRE SCHOOL.
Here we have demonstrated year after year the result of more constant attendance than in the other schools of the same grade. This is our banner school, as shown by the relative number graduated and enter- ing the High School. After making all due allowance
51
and having given credit to the excellent teacher, much is due to the steadfast and persistent purpose of the parents that their children shall be constant at school, to secure as far as possible the priceless advantages of education. Eight were sent up to the High School at the last annual examination in March, where they show by their devotion to their studies a proper apprecia- tion of their privileges.
SOUTH SCHOOL.
It has been the misfortune of this school in the last year to change teachers many times, four different ones having held the position of principal. Mr. Drake resigned in January to enter the Normal School at Bridgewater, and was succeeded by Mr. D. H. Whipple, who continued to teach very acceptably through the Spring term, when he resigned to fill a more lucrative position. Mr. Pattee was next employed for a few weeks, and was succeeded by the present teacher, Miss Lara. With the assistant teacher we have been more fortunate, Miss Grace Farrar having succeeded her sister Anna, who was transferred to the East School in January. Miss Farrar has been faithful and successful with her work through the year, although under great disadvantage from change of teachers and want of a suitable recitation room. The number of pupils in this school has fallen off from that of the year 1888 about fifteen per cent., three having been advanced to the High School; some have moved from town, and one has been sent to the Reform School in Lowell, for such discipline and instruction as could not be employed in our home schools.
52
EAST SCHOOL.
Alas ! what shall we say for this school ? What can we say, when we compare the attendance with that of the other schools? An average loss of nearly thirty days per capita, and of more than twenty days in excess of the loss in the Centre School ! Although we recognize sickness as largely inevitable and unavoida- ble among the causes of absence, yet the fearful waste of school days here shown is utterly unwarrantable. Such apparent disregard of school privileges is repre- hensible to the last degree. Moreover it is presented in a most mischievous and intangible form, one, two or three days in a week, so arranged as to break up all orderly classification in school and largely to elude correction by the truant officer. Excuses are required by the teacher, but, in many instances, written excuses cannot be obtained ; the most common one presented is, "I stayed at home to work." Can there be any necessity for a contrast so unfavorable with the other schools ? Parents of children in the East School, awake to your responsibility ; you are to determine the ques- tion whether you will have a good school or a poor one. The best teacher in the world cannot keep a good school with such irregular attendance.
NORTH SCHOOL.
It is with great satisfaction we view the improve- ment in this school. In our last report the attendance was below that of all the other schools, and we took occasion to point at it sharply with the purpose of arousing the parents of children attending this school
53
to a realization of their disregard of duty. The remark- able change from being the lowest in the list in our last report, to within a fraction of the highest in this, is evidence not only of a healthy awakening, but of a greatly improved school; great credit is due both to the teacher and parents for the change, which we earnestly hope will be maintained in the future.
Fortune has favored us through the year in the retention of all our teachers, excepting at the South School. The value of the service of a teacher to the pupil depends largely upon their mutual acquaintance, knowledge of and sympathy with each other. Until this basis of confidence is established, the pupil is . likely to be on the alert to discover the weak or vul- nerable points in the teacher, to the great disadvantage of both. So far as we are able to judge, the relation of our teachers to their pupils is of the most cordial nature, the pupils being often impressed that we are all working for their individual benefit. Corporal punish- ment is almost entirely abolished ; suspension from school and a reprimand from the Committee-man is an effectual substitute in most cases. We have had occa- sion within the year to inflict upon one pupil in the South School the extreme penalty for incorrigible dis- obedience and truancy, viz., confinement in the Reform School at Lowell. Painful as is this resort to us, an occasional reference to such a possibility greatly forti- fies the government of the school, and is followed by submission and obedience to the required rules, thus avoiding the necessity for corporal punishment.
We cannot too often or too earnestly present to our fellow citizens the mischief wrought in our schools by absenteeism. In the language of an able educator,
54
" Nothing connected with schools reveals the character and value of their work more fully than the school register. To the expert in such matters the law of cause and effect is not more invariable, than the rule that poor attendance means poor school - poor school, poor attendance."
At the Centre school-house some needed repairs and refurnishing have received attention. In the upper room new seats and desks have been substituted for old ones, the floors in both rooms and entries have been oiled, and the blackboards dressed over. The expense for repairs in the other houses has been small.
Your Committee would state that a recent invi- tation has been extended to the town of Lincoln to unite with the towns of Bedford and Billerica, in form- ing a school district, as provided in Chapter 431 of the Acts of the Legislature of 1888, for the employment jointly with the aforesaid towns of a Superintendent of Schools, and having duly considered the proposition, would respectfully advise that the town of Lincoln accept and adopt the same.

- SAMUEL HARTWELL, EDWARD C. FOSTER, GEO. F. HARRINGTON,
Selectmen of Lincoln.
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN, ASSESSORS, AND OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
To the Inhabitants of Lincoln :
The new school-house in the south part of Lincoln, which was partially completed at time of our last report to the town, has been finished, the grounds have been graded, and a fence on two sides of the lot has been built ; there remains to be built a fence on the earterly side of the lot. When the expense of said fence shall have been paid, the entire cost of the house and surround- ings appertinent thereto will amount to about eight thousand dollars.
The matter of exchange of deeds with Mr. Ogden Codman, as desired by him, of a portion of the school-house lot for other land adjacent thereto, which was delegated to the Selectmen by the town, was by them placed in the hands of Messrs. Storey, Thorn- dike & Hoar, attorneys at law, with instructions to make the proper deeds, exchange them with Mr. Codman, and have them recorded. It is expected the deeds will soon be exchanged and the matter settled.
The legacy left to the town by the late George Grosvenor Tar- bell of five thousand dollars, to be invested, the income of which shall be expended for the purchase of books for its town library, has been received by the Town and paid to the Treasurer of the Trust Fund Commissioners for investment.
The Selectmen have purchased the law books reported to have been missing from sets belonging to the Town, and have placed them in the library building.
ASSESSORS' REPORT.
The Assessors report that at their regular assessment they found Personal Property to the amount of $890,603, and Real Estate to the amount of $649,085, on which they levied a tax of $8.40 per $1,000. Subsequently reports came to the Assessors.
9
that the estate of the late George F. Bemis, as filed in the pro- bate office, amounted in round numbers to some four hundred thousand dollars more than it had been previously assessed. Some of our citizens thought that this additional amount should be taxed, and even more, as some of the stock was valued by the appraisers at $16 per share, whereas it was claimed to be worth $40 per share.
In view of the fact that the estate owed some $225,000 in debts, and that Mr. Bemis had by will given $50,000 to the Town, it was not in harmony with the wishes or judgment of the Assessors to include the last two items in the amount to be taxed ; they how- ever yielded to the desires of others, and assessed an additional tax on said estate amounting to $3,715.97. The Assessors were soon asked by the executor of the estate to abate a very large portion of the tax. After consultation with the executor and by themselves, the Assessors decided to take legal advice, and as a result of said advice abated $692.54 of said tax. Owing to a technical point of law, wherein the assessment and the law may be at variance, and to other reasons not mentioned, the Assessors are informed that the tax remaining unabated will not be paid in full, unless secured through lawful intervention.
We are also informed by the executor that he is willing to pay a portion of the additional tax assessed rather than have any trouble, although he is legally advised that he need not pay any portion of it.
OVERSEERS OF POOR.
As Overseers of the Poor we have received notice that Mrs. Mary Ann Souza was committed to Worcester Lunatic Hospital by the State Board of Lunacy and Charity, from Boston, October 25th, 1890. The town supported Mrs. Souza at the Danvers Lunatic Hospital some years since, after which she was taken out and cared for by friends ; she is now an expense to the town.
Charles Tyler has been discharged from the Truant School at Lowell, and the town is therefore released from his support. Others remain as at time of our last report.
10
Whole number of paupers at present supported byfthe town are four, three at Worcester Hospitals, and one at Mr. Daniel H. Sherman's.
Under chapter 279, Acts of 1889, State and Military Aid has been granted to Thomas Lynagh for the winter, commencing with October, 1890, of eight dollars per month, by the Commissioners of State and Military Aid, which is being paid each month by the town of Lincoln, one-half of which will be returned by the State by December of the year following that in which the money is paid.
