THE SCHOOLS IN DETAIL.
District No. 1. During the year, the Intermediate and Primary departments were under the charge of Miss Emily W. Sears and Miss Marion J. Perry, respectively. Both teachers are beloved by their pupils, have the respect and confidence of the parents in the district, and they closed their respective schools with credit to them- selves and to the satisfaction of all concerned. The parents in this district show a commendable interest in the schools, and the results are seen in the cheerful earnestness of the pupils, and the hopefulness and success of the teachers

22; average attendance, 19. Intermediate department, 34 ; average attendance, 31. Number of scholars over fifteen years of age, 4.
District No. 2 was under the charge of Miss Amanda P. Ventress during the year. The school has maintained its growing reputation for good order ; the attainments of the scholars, and general prosperity. Miss Ventress as a faithful and efficient teacher has the affection of her pupils and the respect and esteem of the parents. Much credit is due to the citizens of this district for the manner in which they have aided the teacher and encouraged the scholars, by frequent visitations, and especially by their presence in large numbers at the different exami- nations.
Whole number of scholars, 48 ; average attendance, 42. Number of scholars over fifteen years of age, 6.
District No. 3 was under the care of Miss G. M. Pickernell, whose continued success has been very grat- ifying to the district and all concerned. The repairs and alterations made on the school-house, by the Select- men during the year, have made the exterior neat and attractive, while the interior is both cheerful and com- fortable. The thoroughness of the repairs made, together with the comfortable manner in which it has been furnished, make this school-house as good as a new one, and is one of those pleasing indications of the liberality of the Town towards our educational interests, to which reference has already been made. No school in Town
T
42
shows more marked improvement within a few years than this one. The interest of the parents, manifested so frequently. is worthy of all commendation.
Number of scholars, 33; average attendance, 27. Number of scholars over fifteen years of age, 2.
District No. 4. During the first term of the school year this school was under the charge of Miss Nannie M. Morse. During the second and third terms it was under the care of Miss Mary E. Chandler. Whatever might have been the reason, the school did not present as favorable an aspect at the close of the first term as the Committee desired. The teacher employed was evidently well qualified for her position, so far as educational training was concerned, and was also faithful and earnest. Perhaps " tact " for such a school was the one deficiency. Miss Chandler, considering her inexperience as a teacher, - being one of our youngest teachers, - succeeded admirably during the second and third terms.
It will be noticed that there is a considerable reduc- tion in the number attending this school, compared with a few years ago. Families removing from the district, and the promoting of older scholars to the Academy, explain the question as to the falling off in the school attendance.
Whole number of scholars, 22 ; average attendance, 17. Number of scholars over fifteen years of age, 1.
District No. 5. Miss D. Frances Glass had charge of this school during the entire year. The different exami-
43
nations were generally very creditable to the scholars, and showed that the teacher had worked faithfully. The examination in Drawing, considering the circumstances, was specially commendable, and reflected great credit on the ability of the teacher and the aptitude of the schol-
ars. If the parents and citizens generally, would visit the school more frequently, and attend the examinations in greater numbers, the result would doubtless be very beneficial. Several cases of sickness interfered with the attendance during the third term, and should be taken into consideration when comparing the average with that of other schools.
Whole number of scholars, 23 ; average attendance, 19.
District No. 6. This school was under the charge of Miss Mary D. Boylston during the year, and maintained its high reputation for good discipline, industry and punctuality. This is one of the best conducted schools in the Town. The Committee would mention with great approbation the respectful and gentlemanly conduct of the young men of this school towards their teacher, and their evident desire to make her instructions profitable alike to themselves and their fellow-pupils. Miss Boylston may well be proud of her scholars, and the scholars are evidently proud of their teacher.
Whole number of scholars, 31 ; average attendance, 27 ; number of scholars over fifteen years of age, 4.

District No. 7. Miss Sarah C. Goodspeed had charge of this school during the first and second terms. A few days before the opening of the third term she was sud- denly prostrated with severe illness, and another teacher had to be engaged. It was a matter of regret both to the Committee, and the District, that Miss Goodspeed was unable to continue her work, for she is one of our most popular teachers. During the time she has taught in this District she has won the affection of her pupils and the respect and esteem of their parents.
Mr. Charles H. Thomas, a graduate of the Partridge Academy, was engaged for the third term, and entered with considerable promise upon his duties, but in a few weeks he was taken sick, and another teacher had to be engaged. The services of Mrs. Ida Chandler, one of our most experienced and successful teachers, were secured, and she completed the term.
Whole number of scholars, 40 ; average attend- ance, 33.
District No. 8. This school was under the charge of Mrs. M. R. Crocker, a member of the School Committee, during the year. The cheerful, orderly appearance of the little ones who compose such a large proportion of this school, together with the attainments and good de- portment of the older scholars. are the best testimonies to its good condition and the success of its teacher. The only regret to be expressed in connection with this school is the smallness of the building and the lack of sufficient
45
accommodation. These difficulties may be removed at some future time, and the comfort as well as the health of the pupils be thereby promoted.
Whole number of scholars, 44 ; average attend- ance, 38.
District No. 9 was under the charge of Miss Mary E. Chandler during the first term. Miss Chandler having been appointed to No. 4, at the opening of the second term, Miss Lizzie B. Baker was then placed in charge, and she taught during the second and third terms. Con- sidering her youth and inexperience, Miss Baker suc- ceeded very well with this small but interesting school, and gave general satisfaction to all concerned. It is worthy of note that it is a pleasure to visit this school, as some of the scholars are among the most orderly and promising little ones in town.
Whole number of scholars, 13 ; average attendance, 11.
THE PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
Officially, the School Committee have no right to make any report concerning the Partridge Academy as such. The relations which the Academy sustains to the Town, however, and the fact that it is recognized as the High School of the Town, seem to make it proper that it should be particularly noticed in this report. The Academy has continued to be under the charge of Prof. E. W. Wright, who has been so long and favorably
46
known as an instructor. Miss E. S. Stetson continued her services during the year as Assistant. Her experi- ence and ability as a teacher have been of marked benefit to the pupils, and it is evident that both Princi- pal and Assistant have sought to make the educational advantages of the Academy of the highest value to all that attend.
The improvements which the Trustees have been making, so far as apparatus and works of reference are concerned, indicate their desire to render the institution as efficient as the means at their disposal will permit. In this connection it is due to Mr. Wright to say that he has expressed to the Committee his great anxiety that the parents should feel the necessity of impressing upon their children. by word and act, the paramount impor- tance of school and its duties. He deprecates everything in social life that unfits the pupils for the daily work of the school room or interferes with their home studies.
Whole number of pupils during the year-four terms : Boys, 17 ; girls, 26; total, 43. Average attendance, 91.72 per cent.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS.
Number of persons in Town on May 1, 1876, between the ages of five and fifteen years, 376.
Whole number of scholars enrolled in the different schools of the town, 353.
Average attendance during the year, 303.
47
There has been a decrease during the year of thirty persons between five and fifteen years of age.
There has been a decrease of forty-seven names on the school registers, as compared with last year.
For the year 1874-5 the average attendance showed a loss of schooling equal to sixty-one scholars. For 1875-6 the loss was equal to fifty-nine scholars. This year the loss has been equal to fifty scholars.
Number attending school under five years of age, 1 ; number over fifteen years, 42.
