The Committee would respectfully call the attention of the town to the condition of the school house in this district. It is very much out of repair, and should be attended to as soon as possible. The question of mov- ing the school house to a more eligible location, has been discussed by the citizens of the district, and will doubtless be presented for action at next town meeting.
Number enrolled, 36 ; average attendance, 28.

District No. 4. This school has not been as large during the past year as formerly. Some of the more advanced scholars entered the Academy during the year, which of course reduced the school in numbers. But even this does not seem to explain the falling off in atten- dance compared with former years. During the second and third terms, the school was under the charge of Miss M. F. Marston, a teacher of much ability, so far as cul- ture and earnest labor are concerned, but whose lack of one of the great secrets of success in teaching, viz : the art to govern, detracted from her otherwise excellent work. The school was not in as satisfactory a state at the close of the third term as the Committee would desire.
Number enrolled, 33 ; average attendance, 26.
District No. 5. During the first, second and third terms, this school was under the care of Miss Marston, Miss A. L. Weeks, and Miss D. Frances Glass, respec- tively. The second term of the school was by no means as satisfactory as could be desired. The teacher was in- dustrious, and anxious for the success of her pupils, but unfortunately her severity was such as to neutralize her efforts, and even to call for the interference and rebuke of the Committee. In order to main- tain good discipline in all the schools, the Committee have, in several instances, gone to the utmost that propri- ety would demand in sustaining teachers, but a due re- gard fór the rights of children-for children have rights-
57
have constrained the Committee to rebuke, emphatically, undue severity in corporal punishment. A bunch of birches on the teacher's desk, or within convenient reach, is not usually the sign of a successful teacher, neither is sarcasm or continual faultfinding the best method of secur- ing obedience and good feeling in the school room.
The school was under the charge of Miss D. Frances Glass during the third term; and showed a marked im- provement, both in general deportment and attainment. The examination was creditable to teacher and scholars.
Number enrolled, 27 ; average attendance, 22.
District No. 6. By vote of the town, the school house in this district was repaired and furnished with new desks. It is now one of the most comfortable and pleas- ant school houses in town. The school itself has main- tained its deservedly high reputation for good order and genuine progress in study. It is very gratifying to the School Committee, to be able to speak in high terms of the ability of Miss Boylston as a teacher, and also to con- gratulate the scholars on their good deportment and in- dustry. The scholars deserve commendation, also, for their care of the school house, and their efforts to beau- tify its grounds with plants and flowers, as well as their efforts to promote their own good by regular attendance.
Number enrolled, 31; average attendance, 27. Num- ber of scholars over 15 years of age, 7.

District No. 7 has been under the care of Miss Sarah C. Goodspeed. The chronic difficulty with this school is irregularity of attendance. However efficient a teacher may be, and however anxious to secure the success of her school, her best efforts will be greatly neutralized by the irregular attendance of the scholars. Miss Good speed continued and closed her school year to the satis- faction of the district and approbation of the Committee.
Number enrolled, 45 ; average attendance, 39.
District No. 8 was under the charge of Mrs. Mary R. Crocker during the year, or so much of it as the school was in session. About the middle of the third term, diphtheria and other forms of disease prevailed to such an extent that not one half of the scholars were able to attend school. During the seventh week, such were the serious results of several cases of illness, and the alarm that prevailed, that the Committee felt it to be a duty to close the school for the time being. It was expected to re-open in a few weeks, but as time passed and there were still some cases of sickness occurring, it was deemed bet- ter to defer opening till about the usual time of the Spring term, especially as the time could be made up by making longer terms during the more pleasant seasons of the year.
59
Mrs. Crocker and her school, mostly of little folks, as usual earned the warmest commendations for success, from all interested in the welfare of the school.
Number enrolled, 52 ; average attendance, 44.
District No. 9. This school is very small, yet so far as real work is concerned, will bear a favorable compari- son with some larger ones. During the first term it was under the charge of Miss Ida F. Bailey, and during the second and third terms under the charge of Miss Mary E. Chandler. Both teachers are young and comparatively inexperienced, but they succeeded, with perhaps one ex- ception, in giving general satisfaction.
Number enrolled, 8 ; average attendance, 7.
THE PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
The Partridge Academy, as such, does not properly come within the limits of this report. The arrangements, however, which have been made for several years past with the Trustees, by which the Partridge Academy has been recognized and used as the High School of the town, make it proper to refer to it as such.
While the charter of the institution and the laws governing the School Committee seem to conflict, and
60
render the relation of the Committee to the Trustees somewhat anomalous, yet in no case have the Trustees refused to comply with the wishes of the Committee in any'of those matters over which the Committee had any proper control.
It is gratifying to be able to report a higher average degree of attainment on the part of scholars seeking admission to the Academy. According to the report made by Prof. Wright, the scholars sent to the Academy from the different schools of the town, during the past one or two years, "have been in every way better prepared than four or five years ago."
It is also gratifying to be able to add that the Acad- emy is reported to be in a prosperous condition ; that Prof. Wright, aided by his efficient Assistant, Miss E. Stetson, is laboring successfully to secure that degree of efficiency which its founder had in view, and that the Trustees are adding to the Philosophical Apparatus as the means at their disposal will permit. The Apparatus, which has been in use for some time, has been repaired, and some additions made to it during the past year. Perhaps it will not be considered an impropriety should it be suggested that the Trustees can indulge in a large liberality in this direction without going beyond the re- quirements of such an institution as the Academy ought to be, and doubtless will be, in years to come.
Number in attendance during the year, 50 ; average attendance during the year, 934 per cent.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS.
Number of persons in town on May 1, 1875, between the ages of five and fifteen years, 406.
Whole number of scholars enrolled in the different schools of the town during the year. 406.
Average attendance during the year, 341.
While there was a decrease of five in the number of persons in town. between five and fifteen years of age, as compared with last year, there was an increase of twenty- one names on the school registers this year. Last year the average attendance showed a loss of schooling equal to sixty-one scholars. This year the loss is equal to fifty- nine scholars.
Number attending school under five years of age, 2 ; number over fifteen years, 41.
