Mr. Hirsch informs us that he had the misfortune to lose the best cow within the past year; that the horse by reason of age and infirmities is unable to do what is re- quired to be done. Your Board are of the opinion that it would be economy to purchase a suitable young horse to wear out on the farm, and use the old one to assist in performing the summer's work.
The only inmates receiving care at the Farm during the year were John Westgate and Bradford Macomber both appear in good spirits and evidently contented. Darius Sanford is receiving $1. per week; the Simmons family $10. per month, and Fred French is still at Taun- ton Lunatic Hospital. Charles Norcut and family have received aid to the amount of some $11 this winter to date.

FELLOW CITIZENS:
During the past year our schools have been in charge of an able and efficient corps of teachers, as good, if not better, than we have ever secured before ; and, as far as our observa- tion has extended, to the common advancement of the pupils under their care and to the general satisfaction of parents and the public.
Some schools have made better progress than others, as may always be expected ; but after taking into consideration our scattered population and the small number of pupils attending some of the schools, all should be satisfied with their earnest endeavors.
Your Committee regard with gratification the increasing interest manifested by parents and others by their visits to the school's, thereby becoming accustomed to the teachers' ways and manners of teaching, and by co-operating with, greatly assisting and encouraging them in their manifold cares and duties.
In looking over the registers we are pleased to observe that in some schools the pupils strive to be present at the opening of the exercises, and as one pupil tries to avoid a black mark, he, by his example, encourages another, un- til great good is attained. It is found that two-thirds of the average attendance for the year have been punctual at the beginning of the sessions. This, after taking into considera- tion the distance traveled and the tender years of some, is to be commended, but we trust it may be even better in the future.

Five pupils from an adjoining town have attended our school at Myricks most of the year, pursuant to an agree- ment with the Committees of the several towns, by which the sum of $33 is to be placed to the credit of our town.
As a town we may be congratulated on possessing such pleasant, convenient school buildings, and all in first-class condition, which will challenge comparison with any town in the state in almost any respect, and trust that our pride in that direction is but the index to a greater interest in the cause of education throughout our town. One suggestion perhaps might add to the beauty of the surroundings, viz : That shade and ornamental trees be placed around such of the schoolhouses as the grounds will admit of ; and as the Legislature has seen fit to set apart a day for planting trees, would recommend that a small sum be appropriated and expended as the town may direct for placing trees around our schoolhouses on that day the ensuing year.
