The votes referred to are as follows :
Voted-That the result of the several general examinations of the pupils in the schools during the school year be made the basis for admission of pupils to the advanced schools.
Voted-That the standard of admission to the High School be raised to what would correspond to one year's additional study in the Grammar School.
Voted-That any member of the graduating class at the High School shall be excused from taking part in the public exhibi- tions, at the close of the school year, upon presenting a written request to that effect from his or her parent or guardian. Such excuse shall not be considered as any reason for withholding a
6
diploma from such pupil. This vote shall not be considered as in any way excusing the pupil from writing and handing to the Principal the composition required from each member of the graduating class.
Voted-That the " school year" hereafter close with the end of the Summer term, and that the present senior class of the High School graduate at that time in 1886.

NORTH INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.
During the past year, this school has been taught by two young ladies ; but, at the commencement of the pres- ent year, it was thought advisable to place the manage- ment of the school in the hands of a man. At the begin- ning of the present term, seventy-three scholars were waiting for admission, with proper accommodation for only forty-five. The school has for years been crowded, but never before has the number of applicants been en- tirely overwhelming. By placing desks on every avail- able foot of floor, fifty-six scholars were received ; but at a great sacrifice of the common conveniences of a good school-room. Those whom a lack of space excluded from their proper school were placed in the North Primary ; but, of course, with serious damage to the interests of that school.
As it seems impossible to do justice to the scholars of this district with the present accommodations, nothing remains but to ask for another school-room, in order that the people of the north part of the Town may receive that advantage from their schools to which they are entitled.
I would suggest, as the most economical plan of satis- fying the demands of the present emergency, the addi- tion of another school-room in the rear of the North Intermediate School-house, of sufficient size to accommo- date an independent school, or to serve as a recitation- room, in case it is thought best to employ an assistant teacher.

A NEW GRADE.
An opinion prevails very generally that our scholars enter the High School at too early an age, when they cannot properly enter upon the broader culture which it is the purpose of this school to impart. Children enter our Primary Schools at the age of five, and remain there three years. Between these schools and the High School there are three grades-the Second Grade, Third Grade, and Grammar School -- which require, to complete their course of study, six years ; at the end of which time the scholar would be fourteen.
If all scholars were inflexibly required to remain in each school the estimated time, the movement from the entrance of the child into the Primary to his arrival at the High School would be so slow that more schools would be needed to accommodate the children of the Town, and the injustice of requiring scholars of unequal abilities to move at the same rate would be done. Ac- cording to present arrangement, however, the scholar spends one or two years in each grade, as his industry and talents determine ; and it is owing to this arrange- ment that very bright scholars get into the High School at a very early age-as early as eleven years.
In order to reduce the rapidity of movement through the various schools, to improve the scholarship of the Grammar Schools, and to increase the requirements for entrance to the High School, I suggest that another grade be inserted between the Third Grade and the Grammar School, to be called the Fourth Grade, and that all
11
scholars be required to pass through this grade in one year. In effect, this will have nearly the same result as adding another year to the time spent in the Grammar Schools, enabling those schools to do more advanced work than is now contained in their programme. In case this plan should be adopted, two very important and uni- versally practical studies, now pursued in the first year of the High School course, might be introduced into the Grammar Schools, thus satisfying the quite general de- mand for an increase of the work done in these schools.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The addition of another assistant teacher in the High School has given the long-desired opportunity of modify- ing and improving the course of study to such a degree that the wants of all, it is hoped, will, hereafter, be satis- fied. The number of hours devoted to each of the Eng- lish studies has been increased, and a new mathematical recitation has been added ; but the time given to foreign languages. ancient and modern, remains precisely the same. The number of elective studies has been in- creased, so that it is possible for a scholar of superior abilities to take up the three foreign languages and still carry on the absolutely necessary English branches. With these changes in the course of study, which are certainly in harmony with the expressed wishes of the Town, and with a very able corps of teachers devoted to the interests of the school, all reasonable expectations ought to be realized.
12
SCIENCE IN THE SCHOOLS.
An intelligent observer of our schools, who understood fully the importance of the knowledge comprehended un- der the term science, who saw clearly that it lies as the basis of all labor, and touches, more or less profoundly, all the vast interests of men, would undoubtedly be sur- prised to find how little provision has been made for ade- quate instruction in those things which it would be our highest interest to know.
Many reasons could be given for neglect of science in the public schools ; but it will be quite sufficient to mention only two : The public do not generally demand it ; and, consequently, but few teachers are properly qualified to teach it.
Whatever the difficulties, however, of introducing a course of science into all the schools may be, I suggest that the attempt be made without further delay ; although that attempt, under present conditions, must be a very humble one. Teachers, I doubt not, will soon catch the inspiration which a knowledge of science always gives, and a desire to impart it to others will interest the chil- dren under their charge ; and succeeding in this, they will always find it an easy task to lead them deeper into the love of Nature, which is constantly inviting their ob- servation, and is constantly rewarding them for every in- quiry made.
The books which would be needed to give the teachers the auxiliary information in entering upon such inquires and in imparting such instruction, are now to be had in
1
0
13
great abundance, in the form of science reading-books for schools, supplementary reading-books, and books of popular science.
At first, I would place science reading-books in the hands of the scholars, which would furnish all the know- ledge necessary to make the exercise an intelligent read- ing lesson. The range of thought and vocabulary of the class would rapidly enlarge, and their zeal would natur- ally encourage the teacher to make systematic prepara- tion for the reading lesson, by the diligent use of refer- ence books, which ought to be in readiness on her desk. Very soon, she would find that the exhibition to her class of natural objects illustrative of the reading lesson would be the most attractive method of imparting in- struction to her scholars, and of inducing them to bring to the lesson anything which their newly-awakened curi- osity may have discovered in their walks. If, now, a brief composition, descriptive of the objects and facts ob- served, with an attempt at discovering their laws, were required of the scholars, the best habits would be estab- lished, and the best powers of the mind called into action ; indeed, these exercises would contain the sum and substance of all disciplinary education.
In the Primaries, the reading should be confined, of course, to very simple matters, coming within the easy comprehension of children of a very tender age. The names of common plants, the different kinds of leaves, the varieties of stems, might be subjects of reading and object lessons. It should be understood, however, that the attention of the school is not to be confined to these
14
matters, but, that the teacher may direct the minds of the children to all natural objects which will interest very young persons.
In the Second Grade Schools the study of plants might be reviewed, and the scholars could now be carried far- ther in the knowledge of plants, and they might be in- troduced to a very elementary study of the structure of animals, their names, habits, general appearance, and anything peculiar or wonderful, which might be attrac- tive. The outlines of classification could be taught here.
In the Third Grades, as the scholars have attained some maturity of mind, the elements of physical nature would be proper subjects of instruction. Every thing taught should, as far as possible, be illustrated by experi- ment ; and, to do this, some simple apparatus, which need not be very expensive, would be necessary. The subjects to be brought before the school might be : The air, wind, pressure of the air, pumps, balloons, heated air, chimneys, draft and ventilation, water level, water in the air, clouds, snow, frost and ice, heat and cold, effects of heat, steam, light, color, and other topics belonging to this department of science, which would be comprehen- sible and interesting to scholars of this grade.
For the scholars of the Grammar Schools, a more ad- vanced range of subjects might be suitable, and the treat- ment of the matter brought before the school might be more scientifically exact. If the proposed year should be added to the time of preparation for the Grammar
15
School Grade, there would be no difficulty in increasing the course of study by the addition of the two branches above referred to-elementary physics and inventive geometry-which are, at present, commenced as soon as scholars enter the High School. This arrangement would increase the amount of practical training in these schools more than anything else that could be done for them ; for physical science, as all know, teaches everything we know about the action of the natural forces about us, upon a knowledge of which our well-being so much de- pends ; and the other teaches the methods of measuring all forms and distances however remote.
Previous to experience, it would not, perhaps, be pos- sible to know how much of this new work could be done under the altered conditions of the Grammar Schools. The following topics might, certainly, be treated with some degree of fulness, but with strict regard to the youthfulness of the scholars : Gravitation and pressure (weight, pump, barometer, pendulum); Cohesion (glue, paste, mortar, cement, etc.); Capillary attraction (lamp- wick, sap, sponge, sugar, etc.); Mechanical powers (lever, pulley, inclined plane, wedge and screw, friction); Heat (sun, combustion, steam, steam-engine, thermometer, clothing, cooking, etc.); Light (sources, reflection, looking- glass, refraction, spectacles, microscope, telescope); Elec- tricity (lightning, sealing-wax experiments, etc.); Magne- tism (mariner's compass, horseshoe magnet, telegraph).
In the department of Geometry the inventive faculty of the scholars would be constantly brought into action, as
16
the text-book would only form a basis of the exercises given, furnishing no demonstrations to be committed to memory by the learner, but requiring all proofs to be supplied by the one who professes to understand the question. This practice, which calls forth original thought on the part of the scholar, is the most attractive work that can be given to him in the school-room, providing he is not overwhelmed with too great difficulties.
From the commencement of this study the scholars are accustomed to a great variety of practical applications of all principles learned, so that, in the end, they realize that the work of the builder, the machinist, the surveyor, the navigator, is founded on principles which they have learned from the relations of points, lines, surfaces and solids in their little geometry.
The plan here briefly sketched for introducing oral, observation, and reading lessons assumes that teachers have made no special preparation for the work, and it also implies that they will endeavor to remove all obstacles by every means in their power ; but, especially, by making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the books which ought to be placed in their hands, to be used hereafter as aids in the instruction of their classes.
The time devoted to these science lessons need not be more than one hour a week.
This arrangement for the introduction of science teach- ing into the public schools would not satisfy the too exact-
17
ing demands of the scientist, but it might have the merit of being the best at our command, and might serve effici- ently in beginning to remove the dense ignorance of com- mon things which prevails, perhaps generally, in public schools.

-
We have trod thus far together. Pleasantly our road along ; Happy hours and weary moments Rise before us in a throng. And while mem'ries sweet steal o'er us, Hidden from our eager gaze,
Father Time, unbidden, warns us Of the parting of our ways.
Calls the bugle to life's campaign, Hear the tread of coming foe ! Each must firmly grasp his weapon, Each must lay some evil low. We must join the din of battle ; And with purpose grand and high, On our shields our motto graven, Fight the good fight till we die.
Shines the star of Hope before us, Beckoning with friendly light ; Let us follow its golden beams, Always striving for the right. Parts the mystic tie which binds us, But a word now breaks its spell ;
Farewell ! Oh, saddest word to speak : Teachers, friends, and mates, farewell !
