In the other two Primary Schools in this District, there has been no change in teachers. Miss Veazie seemed at one time to be less energetic than formerly, but nothing of the kind is now apparent. After a short check her school soon rallied, and at the last examination was as good as ever. Miss Foster has done well all through the year, and is entitled to commendation. Her school is diligent and
4
orderly. The Washington School, of this grade, has be in some respects unfortunate. A change was made in management, and Miss Thomas was installed as teach She has been industrious and careful, and her success undoubted. Epidemic sickness has, however, caused a gre irregularity in the attendance, which interferes with r progress. The Willard Schools are better than ever. system of gradation in the Primary School pupils has be introduced. Formerly, there were two Primary Scho here. During the past year they were found insufficient contain properly the large number of children which flock to them, and a third school was established. The Comm tee took advantage of the opportunity and arranged t scholars in classes according to their various ages a acquirements. The most advanced were all placed togeth in the first Primary School, under the care of Miss Ne comb. Miss Beal received an equal number of those ne in proficiency, while Miss Thayer, who was placed at head of the third school, took charge of those that remain who were just entering school. The theory of this char was, that by a thorough classification, the labor of t teacher would be lessened, and the progress of the child increased. Those most fitted to go on together would placed side by side, and the elder would no longer impeded by the younger. The teacher has fewer class and can give much more time to each. This theory h been fully sustained by experience. Nothing can be mo gratifying than the result of the experiment. All thr schools are excellent, and they have steadily improved sin the new plan was introduced. Miss Newcomb and M Beal have schools to show which need fear neither comp ison nor criticism. Miss Thayer has a position demandi peculiar qualities of amiability, firmness and patience. S has fully justified the anticipations of the Committee. It desirable that some permanent provision should be ma for a room for this school, and there can be no questi
5
that the best interests of the school requires that it should be near or within the Willard school-house. The advan- tages of complete classification outweigh considerations of convenience in location. In the Coddington Schools there is nothing to criticise. Miss Dodge is as successful as ever, and never could show a better record than now, while not less praise is due to Miss Underwood, whose method and manner with children is peculiarly happy. It is therefore clear, that by these schools an admirable foundation for future acquirement is insured. This would be useless if not carefully built upon. The Intermediate School must take the child from the Primary and fit it for the Grammar School. In Quincy there are four Intermediate Schools. The Washington School has suffered many drawbacks. Frequent change in teachers has been unavoidable, and the usual consequences have followed. It is now in the charge of Mr. Baxter, and he seems to be making up the time lost. It is confidently hoped that he will restore the school to its former high position. Miss Holbrook is active and ener- getic, and her school steadily improves. The progress of her scholars in mental arithmetic is quite remarkable. Miss Ayer, at the Willard School, did not satisfy the requirements of the Committee. Her school was ordinary, and did not improve. She was therefore discharged, and Miss Beal was installed in her place. Miss Beal is a very peculiarly good teacher, and she has wrought a marvellous alteration in the school. It is now more than good, and if not the best, it is certainly unsurpassed. Miss Gannett came into the Coddington School in the spring. She had been very successful in the Washington School, and she has so continued. Her school was much disorganized and very disorderly when she came to it, but it is now doing admira- bly. She is laborious, persevering and conscientious, and the results of her work are very manifest in her pupils. Three at least of these schools are in all respects satisfac- tory specimens of their grade, and their present condition
6
leaves little to desire. From the Intermediate the step direct to the Grammar School, in which many of our citiz receive the last schooling which they ever enjoy. It is the utmost consequence that these schools should be go A failure here would destroy the results of early car training. The four Grammar Schools in Quincy are v satisfactory. They show, generally, careful and faith effort in the teacher. It is needless to examine their rious merits at length. They have, with one except remained in the charge of the teachers who have heretof conducted them, and there is no marked alteration to repo What has been said of them in former years may be repea now. They are, as they have been for some years, go schools. Mr. Upton left the Coddington School at beginning of the year, and his place was taken by Mr. F bush. Mr. Upton was a most admirable teacher, and loss is to be deplored. His successor seemed at one ti to fail to maintain the standard of the school, but lately has regularly and steadily improved, and at the last ex inations it was impossible to detect any inferiority to others.
It would seem that these schools should advance further. They should send scholars enough, well educa in the common Grammar School studies, each year to High School, to keep every seat in it full. This has been the case of late. Whether this is not in some deg owing to the action of parents in retaining their children the Grammar Schools, or discouraging a tendency to ap for admission at the High School, may well be doubt The Committee would earnestly remonstrate against suc course, if it has in any case been pursued. It is m desirable that the scholars should be sent in as fast as th are prepared. Delay at the Grammar School is unfair teacher, pupil, and the children generally. The teach must give his time to these advanced pupils to the part exclusion of all the others. The pupil must re-tread form
7
steps, or if carried forward must enter upon studies not properly belonging to the school. Each scholar in the town has a claim to a place in the Grammar School as soon as he is competent, and it is not just that the time and room due to him should be unprofitably occupied by one who belongs in a different grade of school. Mr. Morse's school is far too large at present, and he is unable to do it justice without an assistant. The Committee propose to relieve him and the Intermediate School, which is also overcrowded, by removing a portion of both to the upper room in the old stone school-house.
There is a very good vacant room there, which is now fitted to receive the new school. The expense will be small and the advantage great-indeed such a step has become inevitable. It is heartily recommended that the school be immediately organized. The same advantage will accrue that has been seen in the Primary Schools in the Willard School. Improved classification will insure increased progress. Mention has been made already of the drawback to a flattering result of the year at the High School. The great difficulty is that the school is not full. Instead of forty it should contain seventy pupils. There are two permanent teachers engaged at a much greater expense than those in any other school in the town, and yet they have hardly more than half as many pupils as some of the Grammar Schools. This should not be so, as the true interests of all require that this excellent school should be constantly filled with diligent graduates from the Grammar Schools, who may there enjoy the increased facilities for learning which it is the end of its institution to afford. Those who have been so fortunate as to attend here during the past year, have secured valuable results. The exami- nations have been very good, and the care of the teachers, and the diligence of the scholars have appeared in the recitations. A Philosophical Apparatus is very much needed in the school, and its purchase is recommended.
8
There are three Mixed Schools in the town, which, fro circumstances of situation, are not included in the sy tem of gradation which is established in all those whic have been already noticed. These schools seldom atta the same excellence as the graded schools, and they ar more difficult to manage. Miss Baxter, at the Neck, a though apparently faithful and anxious to do well, has no been able to make her school all that is wished. Conscio of this, she has desired to resign the place and her reque has been granted.
The North School, which had been for a long time unde the care of Mr. Forbush, was given to Mr. Sumner whe Mr. Forbush was transferred to the Coddington Schoo The change has been unattended by any unfavorable result and the school still retains its good character and position
Germantown has often been a prolific source of vexation t former committees. The school there has been curious] bad. From a frequent change of incompetent teachers, suc a state of things had grown up, as to render hopeful antic pation of improvement out of the question. But at las Miss Crane undertook the apparently hopeless task of re formation. Her success has been wonderful and mos gratifying. She has now a well ordered, cheerful, diligen and proficient school, where once disorder and confusio reigned. Here has been the most marked improvemen which we have to note.
Great difficulty is found with the present situation of th school-house at Germantown, in consequence of the impos sibility of finding fresh water in the land on which it stands Nor is the house itself at all equal to those allowed in othe parts of the town. Justice to all, and the interest of th schools require a new and improved building, and the Com mittee recommend its immediate erection. The population is not large, and no great expense will be incurred, whil the lot of land offered to the town as a gift by Mr. R. B Forbes for the purpose, will save further outlay for a situa
9
tion, will give a more convenient position, and insure a supply of good water. These considerations are suffi- ciently weighty to secure a candid and favorable considera- tion of the proposition.
The Committee have thus, as briefly as possible, reviewed the situation and progress of the schools placed in their charge during the year which now closes. They have no reason to regret the results of their superintendence. That much remains to be done, they will not affect to deny, but that much has been effected they claim with equal con- fidence. In many cases the attendance may seem unequal and irregular, and while it must be frankly confessed there is still much to be desired in this respect, yet it should be carefully borne in mind that the prevailing complaints have been such as to keep many children at home, and even in some cases to render it desirable entirely to close the school for a time. Measles and whooping-cough have pre- vailed excessively, and few children have escaped.
The Committee have now discharged the last duty of the year which their office imposes upon them, and it is with great gladness that they are enabled to give so good an account of so many schools. Of the twenty-one schools in this town, not one is bad. Many are so good that no seri- ous defects are perceptible, and a few cannot be carefully inspected without a feeling of genuine joy and surprise.
With a hearty wish that the school year upon which we are now entering may be crowned by as prosperous results as the year which now expires, the Committee would re- spectfully submit this Report.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
The amount appropriated by the Town for the support o the Schools during the year was :- . $8,600 00
By Tax, raised by the Town,
Proceeds from State Fund, 275 00
Coddington Fund,
75 00
Town of Braintree, 13 35 - -$8,963 3. The expenditures for the year ending April 1, 1860, are estimated at or near .$9,100 0 Of this amount, the new. School in the West Dis- trict should probably be charged with $125 0 which was not provided for in the last appropria- tion ; and it will be seen that there has been a small excess of expenditure amounting to about $140 0
ESTIMATE FOR 1860.
The Committee are required to report an estimate o the sum of money which in their judgment should be appro priated by the Town from their Tax for the support of th Schools for the year ending April 1, 1861.
After careful examination of the whole subject, and i consideration of the new Primary School established in the West District, and the new Intermediate School which i required in the South District, as well as other contingen cies, the Committee consider that the amount of $9,000 is both adequate and moderate, and they recommend tha this money be raised by the Town by a Tax.
