SCHOOL REPORT.
The School Committee of the Town of Berkley respectfully submit the following as their Report for the past school year, 1879-80:
There have been seven separate schools sustained in town the past year, of seven and three-quarters months' duration each.
The whole number of scholars in town on the first day of May last, between the ages of 5 and 15 years, was 152, as returned to us by the Assessors of the town. Number between 8 and 14 years of age, 94.
The whole number of different scholars attending the Spring term was 153; Fall term, 145; Winter term, 147.
Whole number attending the Spring term between the ages of 5 and 15 years, 117; Fall term, 130; Winter term, 122.
Whole number attending school during the year under 5 years of age, 8; over 15 years, 25.
The total number of all ages enrolled on our school register is 171. The average number belonging is 131. The average attendance is 101. The per cent. of attendance, based on the average number belong- ing, is 77.

30
Comparing our per cent. of attendance with some other schools not in town, it seems to us too small, and that an effort should be made by the parents to raise our standard. Every parent should feel the deepest interest in his children, and is responsible in a great measure for their success and happiness in the future. And in what way can he more certainly cripple, dwarf and disqualify him for future prosper- ity and happiness than by neglecting his mental and moral culture? both of which are intended to be cultivated in our public schools.
In reviewing the school year just closed, we can do so with some degree of satisfaction, believing that some progress has been made in our public schools as a whole, and feeling sure that the money intrust- ed to us has not been wasted.
With the annexation of new territory to our town our cares and responsibilities have also increased, and although we had some apprehensions and felt some anxiety as to the result of the change in the management of the school, yet we believe there has been general satisfaction. Harmony and good-will seem to prevail, and a good degree of progress is apparent.
We are glad to see a growing interest manifested by the parents of children attending our public schools, and others who make frequent calls to see the schools when in session, and thus inform them- selves about their merits, encouraging the children by their presence to renewed efforts up the hill of knowledge. And especially do we commend the in-
31
terest which one worthy minister in town has mani- fested, by visiting all of our schools and speaking words of encouragement and cheer to both teachers and scholars.
During the past year we have painted two of our school-houses-Nos. 3 and 5-outside, at a cost of about $40.00, and have remodelled the inside of the Burt's Corner school-house, put in new floor and desks, new plastering, and hard-finish black-board, new window springs, and painted inside, and other repairs, at a cost of $201.75.
The school-house at the Common needs the same treatment that the Burt's Corner one has received the past year, and then five of our houses will be in fair condition for the use intended.
But what shall we say of Number Six? Last year your Committee recommended a new school-house there in the immediate future. That time has fully come, and your Committee hope the town will take immediate action in this matter, and have a suitable house ready for use at the commencement of our Winter school term.
The following table will show at a glance the at- tendance, average, and per cent. of each of our schools, with other interesting statistics carefully prepared, and submitted by your Committee.
