The whole number of children in the town on May 1, 1874, between the ages of five and fifteen years, was 411. The whole number of scholars enrolled in the different schools of the town during the school year has been 380 ; average attendance, 319. This shows a loss of schooling equal to 61 scholars.
In making these statements, however, it ought to be borne in mind that the weather during the greater part of the winter term was exceptionally severe, and that there were many cases of sickness in nearly all of the schools. Had the same percentage of attendance been
51
maintained during the third term, as there was during the first and second terms, the average attendance would have exceeded that of former years. It is believed that a very marked improvement has been made in nearly all of the schools in regard to attendance, punctuality, disci - pline and study. The teachers are worthy of hearty commendation for the interest manifested in their arduous and frequently unappreciated labors, and the pupils are to be congratulated in the generally good deportment and progress in study which they have maintained during the year. In four of the districts, your Committee have been pleased to notice the interest taken by the parents and friends of the pupils, by frequently visiting the schools, and especially in being present at the examinations. It is a very significant fact, and to its due consideration your School Committee would call special attention, that those schools which have received the greatest countenance and support from parents, have been the most successful. On the other hand, those schools that parents seldom or never visit, that are never referred to but in a fault-finding spirit, whose teachers are criticised in the presence of the pupils, or in some public place of resort, are of all others the most difficult to manage, show the lowest average attendance, have the poorest record for punctuality, and make the least prog- ress in study.
Where there is occasion for adverse criticism upon the condition of a school, or the conduct of the teacher, if
52
parents and friends would frankly and kindly make sug- gestions to the teacher privately; or promptly call the attention of the School Committee to any faults that may exist, but refrain from discussing such things in the presence of the pupils, it would assuredly tend to the good order and success of all our schools.
The Grammar School has been under the charge of Miss Emily W. Sears during the past year, and has maintained its good name for deportment, studious habits and general excellence. Miss Sears is one of our most accomplished and efficient teachers, and the quiet, earnest work of the school-room is the best proof of her efficiency and success. The pupils are worthy of commendation for their industry, and general progress in study. It is the desire of the Committee, however, to see still greater advances made.

District No. 1, has been under the charge of Miss Sarah C. Goodspeed. It has always been a pleasure to the Committee to visit this school. There is always such an evident affection between teacher and pupils, and such an air of cheery earnestness, as well as good order pre- vailing, that visitors accept such as encouraging signs of a well kept school.

Neither tardy, nor absent, from school during two terms, -CARRIE L. DELANO. But for sickness she would have been named as the only scholar neither tardy nor absent during the year.

Bertie Goodspeed.
Number of scholars enrolled, 39; average attend- ance, 33.
District No. 2, has been under the charge of Miss D. Frances Glass. The increased accommodation and com- fort, arising from the building of a new and beautiful school-house in this district, tended to an increase in the number of scholars during the year. As many as sixty- two scholars have been present on some days, and the School Committee were under the necessity of putting in four additional desks. With the good discipline and teaching abilities of Miss Glass, together with the comfort and accommodation of the new school-house, this school has made evident improvement and given general satis- faction. The only thing specially to be deplored, in con- nection with this district, is the irregular attendance of the scholars. With all due allowance for the sickness, which prevailed during the winter, and for the severity of the weather, your Committee believe that no neces- sity has existed for such absenteeism as this and some other school districts exhibit.

District No. 3. During the first term of the school year, and also at the opening of the second term, this school was in no little distraction. Miss Alice A. Lanman who was in charge of the school during the first term, made every exertion to make it successful ; but although a very competent teacher she failed to maintain due disci- pline. But for the rudeness and ungallant conduct of a few older boys who ought rather to have prided then- selves in honoring and sustaining their teacher, the term might have been closed with very general satisfaction to all. The second term was opened under the charge of a
56
teacher who had been well recommended, but the first . week had scarcely elapsed when the Committee were compelled to close the school, and make arrangements for another teacher. Mr. A. L. McMillan was finally engaged, and he had charge of the school during the second and third terms.
Such was the satisfaction in the district with the state of the school at the close of the second term, that the Committee were urged to secure the services of Mr. McMillan for another term. This the Committee could not do with the funds at their disposal, but the citizens of the District generously raised an additional fund, and thus enabled the Committee to continue Mr. McMillan in the school during the third term. . From all that is known, very general satisfaction prevails in the District as to the progress made on the part of the scholars, and the improved discipline of the school.

District No. 4, was under the charge of Miss Louisa J. Sampson during the first term, but her health having failed, Mrs. I. F. Chandler had charge during the second and third terms. This school has always been considered one of the best schools in town, and it has maintained its good reputation during the year just closed. Mrs. Chan- dler is one of our most efficient and successful teachers. She is at once the teacher and friend of her scholars, and succeeds admirably in infusing into their young minds her own enthusiastic and industrious spirit.

This school deserves commendation for the good order generally maintained, the attention and industry of the pupils, and the progress they have made during the year. It was a matter of regret that Miss Goodspeed was compelled to close her school, one week before the end of the term, on account of ill-health.

District No. 6, was under the charge of Miss Mary D. Boylston during the first and third terms, and under that of Miss Mary C. Goodspeed during the second term. Taking the circumstances of the school into considera- tion, the severity of the winter, the prevalent sickness, and the dilapidated condition of the school-room, the record of this school during the year is of a very praise- worthy character, and reflects credit both upon teachers
·
and scholars. In speaking of this school it is very gratify- . ing to the School Committee to speak in high terms of the ability of Miss Boylston as a teacher, and the success which has attended her during the many terms she has taught in this district.

District No. 7, was under the charge of Miss Isabella G. Weston. In regard to the attainments of those scholars who were punctual in their attendance, and the efficiency of Miss Weston as an accomplished and thorough teacher, the Committee desire to speak in very favorable terms. But of the school as a whole, the Committee are not well satisfied. The irregular attendance and large per-
60
centage of absenteeism are too glaring for the Committee to pass without notice. These faults are neither smaller nor greater than they have been for several years past. The remedy lies very largely, if not altogether, in the hands of parents and guardians ; and the School Commit- tee would respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon their attention the necessity of a hearty and intelligent co-op- eration with the teachers in the effort to promote regular and punctual attendance, and secure the general excel- lency of this school.

District No. 8, was under the charge of Miss Mary C. Goodspeed during the first term of the school year. Of Miss Goodspeed's abilities as a teacher, as exemplified in
61
this school, as well as in others of the town, the Commit- tee would speak in very favorable terms. But for her feeble health, on acconnt of which she has been frequently unable to bear the strain and exactions of the school-room, her success as a teacher would have been still greater. During the second and third terms, the school was under the charge of Mrs. M. R. Crocker, one of our old and deservedly popular teachers. Considering the tender age of the majority of the scholars, the severity of the winter, and the prevalent sickness, no school in town has a better record for regularity of attendance and general proficiency. The discipline of love, combined with the enthusiasm of teaching, has been well exem- plified on the part of the teacher, and she has been well sustained and encouraged by parents and guardians.

THE PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
It does not fall within the province of the School Committee, to report officially concerning the Partridge Academy, as such. The arrangements, however, entered into between the Trustees of the Academy and the School Committee on the 11th of April, 1874, by which the Academy has been recognized and used as the High School of the town, bring it properly within the limits
63
of this report. The Academy has been under the instruction of Mr. Edmund W. Wright, a gentleman of acknowledged ability and efficiency as a teacher. The School Committee have been much gratified with the thoroughness of Mr. Wright's method of instruction, espec- ially in reading and mathematical studies, and the zeal with which he seeks to elevate the standard of education. It is gratifying also, to be able to state that studies in Natural Philosophy and Physiology have been resumed, and are prosecuted with increasing interest. It is believed, if the Trustees will only adopt a liberal policy in securing phil- osophical apparatus, and other requisites to thorough instruction, the Partridge Academy may occupy a posi- tion second to no other similar institution in the State. At the last meeting of the Trustees, Miss Emma B. Stetson was elected Assistant in the Academy, and she will devote her time during the whole of each session to the work of instruction. The results of such an arrange- ment must be of the highest importance to those attend- ing the Academy, because of the increased facilities for a thorough education. In connection with the subject of the Academy being used as the High School of the town, it is worthy of suggestion whether the School Com- mittee should not hereafter insist upon more thorough preparation on the part of scholars seeking to be pro- moted from the Grammar School to the High School.
Number of scholars attending Academy, 49 : average attendance for the year, 934 per cent.
