During the past year the Tarkiln and Hall's Corner school-houses have been painted, and repairs such as whitewashing, tinting, etc., have been made in all the buildings. It will be noticed that the bills for repairs of school-houses have exceeded the appropriation, owing to the fact that bills, which should have been paid from the appropriation for the year 1887-8, were paid from the appropriation for the past year.
At the last annual Town Meeting the Committee asked for an appropriation to enable them to transport the pupils in the Ashdod District to some other district. A number of new pupils having increased the size of the school, and a decided improvement in attendance having been made in the Spring term, the Committee decided not to close the school.
During the past year an arrangement has been made with the County Commissioners of Berkshire County, by which the truant school at Becket can be used as a place for our truants. Some such arrangement was necessary in order that the Town might receive its share of the Massachusetts school fund.
The arrangement with the trustees of Patridge Acade- my, by which the Academy serves for a High School, has been continued. The first class to graduate from the new course of study, graduated last June. The number
5
of pupils from Duxbury is unusually large, and with pupils from out of town, the school numbered last Sep- tember, seventy. The next examination of applicants for admission will be held June 24, 1889, at 9 A. M., the requisites for admission being as follows : reading, spelling, geography of the United States and North Amer- ica, grammar as indicated by outlines in the hands of the teachers, with exercises to test the pupil's ability to use correct English in written language work, including dic- tation exercises, letter writing, easy compositions, &c.
At the last annual Town Meeting, the members of the School Committee were chosen a Committee to confer with neighboring towns in regard to the employment of a Superintendent of Schools, and in this report the Commit- tee would make a report of the matter thus especially entrusted to them.
An act to aid small towns to provide themselves with School Superintendents was at that time pending in the Legislature and was afterwards passed and approved. This act (Chap. 431 of the Acts of 1888) is as follows :
· Sec. 1. Any two or more towns, the valuation of each of which does not exceed two million five hundred thousand dollars, and the aggregate number of schools in all of which is not more than fifty nor less than thirty, may by vote of the several towns, unite for the purpose of the employment of a Superintendent of Schools under the provisions of this act.
Sec. 2. When such a union has been affected, the School Committees of the towns comprising the union shall form a joint Committee, and for the purposes of
6
this act said joint Committee shall be held to be the agents of each Town comprising the union. Said Com- mittee shall meet annually in joint convention in the month of April, at a day and place agreed upon by the Chairman of the Committees of the several towns com- prising the union, and shall organize by the choice of a Chairman and Secretary. They shall choose, by ballot, a Superintendent of Schools, determine the relative amount of service to be performed by him in each town ; fix his salary, and apportion the amount thereof to be paid by the several towns, and certify such amount to the Treasurer of each town.
Sec. 3. Whenever the Chairman and Secretary of sach joint Committee shall certify to the State Auditor, under oath, that a union has been effected as herein provided ; that the towns, in addition to an amount equal to the average of the total sum paid by the several towns for schools during the three years next preceding, unitedly have raised by taxation and appropriated a sum not less than seven hundred and fifty dollars for the support of a Superintendent of Schools, and that under the provisions of this act a Superintendent of Schools has been employed for one year, a warrant shall be drawn upon the Treasurer of the Commonwealth for the payment of one thousand dollars, one half of which amount shall be paid for the salary of such Super- intendent, and the remaining one half shall be appor- tioned and distributed on the basis of the average public school attendance of the towns forming such district for the year next preceding, which amount shall be
7
paid for the salaries of teachers employed in the public schools within such district.
Sec. 4. A sum not exceeding twelve thousand five hundred dollars shall be annually appropriated for the purposes of this act.
Sec. 5. The provisions of section forty-three of chapter forty-four of the Public Statutes respecting the service of School Committees without pay in towns wherein a Superintendent is appointed, shall not apply to towns uniting in the employment of a Superintendent under the provisions of this act.
Sec. 6. This act shall take effect upon its passage. (Approved May 29, 1888.)
After the passage of the above act the Committee de- cided to confer with the towns of Marshfield and Scituate, those towns from their valuation, number of schools, lo- cation, and similarity of schools, forming with Duxbury the best district for advantageous work that it seemed possible to form.
As a result of these conferences, Scituate has already voted unanimously to unite with Marshfield and Duxbury for the purpose of employing a Superintendent of Schools, having appropriated $250 of the amount necessary to be raised by the several towns, and while this report is in press Marshfield will have taken action in the matter. We are assured by a number of the citizens of Marshfield that the town will follow the lead of Scituate and the Committee earnestly recommended this town to take favorable action on the two articles referring to this mat- ter which have been placed in the warrant.
8
Among the many reasons which might be given for recommending the employment of a Superintendent, we give the following: 1. The testimony of those compe- tent to judge in the matter of the improvement that has followed the employment of efficient superintendents, as shown notably in the case of Quiney, Mass. 2. The suc- cessful working of the plan of uniting towns for the employment of a Superintendent of Schools, six districts having been formed under the law of 1870, which gave no state aid. 3. The conditions and needs of the schools of Duxbury, our schools, with the exception of the High School, incorporated as Patridge Academy, being un- graded with a very indefinite course of study. 4. The small expense attending such a trial.
In closing, the Committee would again urge the matter of the employment of a Superintendent of Schools under the plan recommended, and recommend the following appropriations for the ensuing year :
For-
Salary of Superintendent $250 00
Support of schools 3,000 00
Repairs of school-houses 250 00

Guide Boards.
The guide boards and posts throughout the Town are in very good condition, with the exception, perhaps, that a very few of the boards will need repainting and lettering in a year or two.
Our acknowledgements are due to the Duxbury Rural Society for placing boards in various places in Town directing to town localities.
