NOTE .- $37.06 of the $64.33 paid by town of Randolph, for support P. Holbrook and family, $8.56 paid by town of Abington for supp Stephen G. Leavett, and $6.50 paid by town of Braintree for funeral e ses of Mrs. Daley's Child, making in all $52.12, was credited to supp poor in Alms House, on page 7, which should have been credited to su of poor out of Alms House, making the net expense of supporting the in the Alms House $115.46, instead of $63.34, which is $1268.43 than it cost last year.
We the undersigned, auditors of accounts of the town, for the year e Feb. 1, 1860, have endeavored faithfully to perform the duties ass us, and would say that we have received all the assistance from selectmen, town clerk, and treasurer, that it was possible for them to der. We have examined the books and accounts of the selectmer treasurer, and found them correctly kept with proper vouchers.
The committee visited the alms house, inspected the premises, and an appraisement of the personal property, everything in the house l remarkably clean and in good order, and the appearance of the age infirm inmates indicated that they were kindly treated and well cared f
We should judge that the superintendent and matron are well qu for, and have been faithful to their trust.
Improvements have been made on the farm the past year by pla fruit trees, carting gravel on to low land, by the superintendent an when not employed on the highway.
The selectmen are entitled to much praise, for the economical and judicious management of the alms-house establishment, and all oth partments over which they have had control. They looked well to t terests of the town.
The expense of repairing school houses is placed under the head o dental expenditures for schools, and for repairs on engine houses und head of expenditures for fire department, instead of under the head pairs on public buildings.

The town is indebted to the popular town clerk, Franklin Curtis, for most of the interesting statistics in the appendix, excepting the of persons now living in Quincy, 70 years of age and upwards, which w nished by Seth Adams, Esq.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF QUINCY,
MARCH 2, 1860.

BOSTON: WRIGHT & POTTER, PRINTERS, 4 SPRING LANE.
1860.
REPORT.
The School Committee respectfully submit the following Report :-
. Upon a comprehensive review of the past year, consid- erable progress appears. The general tendency has been to improvement. No School is poorer than it was in March last, and two or three of them at least are vastly improved. Many, and indeed most of the Schools were ex- cellent before, and as they have usually continued in the same hands, they have sustained their former reputation and position. The Committee consider that the Schools of Quincy are a source of congratulation and pride to the citi- zens. For this year, at least, there are few complaints to be made, few defects to note, and small improvements to suggest. In the Primary Schools there has not been much change during the year. The Second Primary School, in the South District, was found at the beginning of the year to have made no progress, and it was also disorderly and ill-regulated. No time was lost, and a new teacher was engaged. This School has regained much of its former discipline and proficiency. Miss Richards had much to overcome, but she has no reason to doubt her success. The last examination showed a very good school.
