The Point School House has been painted the past year, both roof as well as sides, and is now in thorough repair, and is an ornament as well as a credit to the Town.
51
Both the Mill Brook and the Nook School Houses need painting, and your Committee hope to be able to do so the coming season.
The "Duxbury Rural Society " has caused to be planted, in front of several of the school-houses, shade trees, for which your Committee desire to thank them in behalf of the Town, and it will be our endeavor to so protect them that they may continue to grow and furnish abundant shade for generations to come.
FREE TEXT BOOKS.
The following act was passed by the last Legislature, and took effect August 1st, 1884 :
An Act to Provide for the Furnishing of Free Text Books and School Supplies to the Pupils of the Public Schools.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows :
SECTION 1. The School Committee of every city and town shall purchase, at the expense of such city or town, text books and other school supplies used in the Public Schools; and said text books and supplies shall be loaned to the pupils of said Public Schools free of charge, subject to such rules and regulations as to the care and custody as the School Committee may prescribe.
SECT. 2. Pupils supplied with text books at the time of the passage of this act shall not be supplied with similar books by the Committee, until needed.
SECT. 3. This act shall take effect upon the first day of August, 1884.
Approved March 22, 1884.
In order to comply with the provisions of the fore- going act, your Committee have expended for text books and supplies of all kinds. including everything used in the High School, the sum of $753.48. Some of these books and supplies have not been issued, but the greater part of them are in the different schools. But
52
few books will need to be purchased the coming year, so that the expense will be small. mostly for supplies. Every book before being issued had a label pasted in the same, saying that it was the property of the Town of Duxbury and must be carefully used.
There is a wide difference of opinion as to the merits of this act. Your Committee forbear to express their opinion at this time, contenting themselves with carrying out its provisions as economically as possible, at the same time furnishing everything actually needed.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Your Committee desire to express their entire satis- faction with this school, as at present conducted by its very efficient Principal, Mr. C. F. Jacobs ; also, to thank the Trustees of Partridge Academy for their courteous treatment and ready compliance with any suggestions your Committee have seen fit to offer, and we trust our citizens will appreciate this school, which is to all intents and purposes the High School of the Town, (a full statement of all facts having been made to the Secretary of the State Board of Education, and received his sanction,) so that today we are enjoying the privileges of this really first class school for the mere nominal sum of $300, with the cost of text books and supplies in addition. If this Town were not so fortunate as to have this Academy to unite with, we should be obliged, under the present law, to support in full a High School, the expense of which, for teachers'
53
salaries alone, would be $1,400 a year, to say nothing about that of finding a suitable building for the same.
The following are the names of those who were graduated from this school the past year :
Ex-SENIORS.
Mattie C. Alden, Emma A. Harris.
SENIORS.
Helen F. Nickerson, Deborah F. Tower,
Horace T. Fogg,

Class motto : " Vincit Omnia Veritas."
The next examination for admission to the junior class of the High School takes place at Academy Hall, on Monday, June 29th, 1885, at nine o'clock, A. M.
The candidates must have attained the age of twelve years, and must pass a satisfactory examination in Reading, Writing, Spelling, Arithmetic (through Decimal Fractions.) the Geography of North America, English Grammar, including Parsing and Analysis of Simple Prose Sentences.
The school will commence the new year August 31st, 1885.

Calendar yes: 1885

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the Town of Duxbury herewith respectfully submit their annual report for the year ending March 15, 1886, and the financial condition of the Town at that date, annexed to which will be found Assessor's statistics, report of Overseers of the Poor, Treasurer's statement of receipts and expenditures, and a detailed account of the expenses of the different depart- ments of the town service for the past year.
NEW ROADS.
On the road from Crooked Lane to Marshfield line ordered by County Commissioners and to be worked to their acceptance, the Selectmen employed the builder, George Bradford, to con- struct a sidewalk with suitable drains on a portion, for the principal purpose of preventing the flooding of the premises adjoining, thus accounting for the excess of his bill, above the amount agreed upon on the order of the Commissioners, the road was accepted by the Commissioners, and by statement of their chairman, the work exceeded the specifications.
On the road from John Boylon's to Mrs. Porter's, work has been commenced and can be continued, if thought desirable, under repairs of highway.
On petition, the Selectmen have laid out a road from Cut Island to Pine Point, which will be laid before the Town, at the annual meeting, the property owners and taxpayers in that section desiring a passable road, have first tried this expedient
4
to obtain one. This road, through absence of suitable material on a portion of the road as laid out, would cost rather more than the average, but probably much less than under the laying out of the County Commissioners.
The appropriations for the department of incidental expenses has been drawn upon to an unusual extent the past year, repairs of almshouse, town hall, payment of bridge building, damage to horse and carriage, etc.
In regard to the item of school books, in justice to the School Committee would state, that out of the amount paid for school supplies $692.61 ; $357.40 were for bills of 1884. As the Town will not be under the expense above mentioned the coming year, we have recommended to draw from the incidental fund $1,000, for repairs of highways, and $1,000 for payment of railroad note due April 21, 1890.
