The house at Quincy Point is quite large enough to accommo-
14
date the scholars of the district for the present. Yet the zens begin to compare it with the larger and more conven structures lately erected, and to feel the defects they did no closely observe before. Some of these certainly deserve at tion. The ventilation, especially in the lower rooms, is imperfect, and there are other difficulties. Should the ann tion of Braintree neck take place as proposed, it may have important bearing upon the relations of this district, so th does not appear advisable to recommend any action upon subject until that matter becomes definitively settled.
The house in the East District is somewhat out of repair, the interior presents no very attractive appearance. It is l enough for the present number of scholars, but the citizens a cipate early accessions to the residents from the impulse la given to business in their vicinity. The house is about twe years old, and is suffering from the exposed situation whic occupies. It may be necessary before a great while to cons the question whether the repairs to be made may not be gre than the value of the building would justify. This is the school that has no play-ground-and as the adjacent land I now be obtained at a reasonable rate, it might be advisabl secure a sufficient quantity to make a convenient yard. Committee are the more inclined to recommend this, that citizens of the district express a willingness to ornament ground thus obtained, by setting trees and improving its app ance, should the town be disposed to provide the enlargement
HIGH SCHOOL.
Something has been done the past year to improve the grou connected with this building; but much remains yet to Whilst the town has gone on constructing three other houses grading the adjacent grounds of each, it has suffered thi remain very much in the unfinished state in which it was lef the builders. This ought not to be. What pride can the pu
15
be expected to take in the preservation of the property, when they see that none is taken by their elders ? The terrace around the house remains in its rough state, and no trees have been planted as well for shelter as for shade. The mode of heating this building is also defective. The stoves in the large hall roast the scholars nearest to them, whilst the most distant are freezing. They have now been in use so long as to be so far burnt out that it will be necessary next autumn to incur a considerable expense to repair or replace them. The expediency of adopting some more general and effective apparatus of heating, which may be applied to all the rooms, as it is in the new school-houses, is deserving of consideration.
In closing what the Committee have to say upon the school- houses this year, they beg leave respectfully to remind the town of the extent of the property they now actually possess, of this kind, and of the very considerable sums it has cost them. A new duty thus arises of active and constant superintendence over this property, in order to guard it against injury and deterioration. Nor should the care be confined solely to this. It should be ex- tended to the beautifying and adorning the grounds about them, at least so far as to impress the children throughout the town with a feeling of pride in them sufficient to prevent thoughtless or wanton defacement. The duty of superintendence, the Com- mittee are aware, belongs to the Selectmen, and is most suitably performed by them. But by whomsoever performed, it should be vested in a single person, in order to be executed with a proper sense of responsibility. And frequent visits should be made to each place in order to check any tendency to abuse before it becomes habitual and serious. The care of the public property in Quincy should from this time become one of the most important labors required from the town officers.

CHILDREN OF MRS. GLOVER.
By an act passed at the last session of the Legislature it provided, " that children living remote from the public schoo the town in which they reside, may attend the public school an adjoining town, on such terms as the School Committee of adjoining towns may prescribe ; and School Committees are thorized to pay out of the appropriations of money raised for support of schools in aid of such children." Under the provis of this act the School Committee of Milton demanded compe tion for schooling several children of Mrs. Glover, who, w. residing within the town of Quincy, have for several ye attended their public schools. Upon investigation your Com tee have ascertained that five children from the family ab named, living in the extreme westerly part of the town, are situated that it would be unreasonable to expect them to att either of our schools. They have habitually attended one of schools in Milton during the past year. Considering, theref the demand a just one, the Committee agreed on twenty-five lars as a fair compensation, which sum has been paid them fi the money appropriated for the support of schools. Five child from Braintree have attended the schools in the South Dist of this town under similar circumstances ; and a claim for rer neration has been presented to the school committee of that to by whom it will doubtless be fairly met.
Your Committee proceed to give the financial accounts of year.

ESTIMATE FOR 1856.
The Committee having been instructed by the town to report what sum of money should be raised for the support of schools the ensuing year, beg to submit the following estimate.
The town, the last year, raised by tax the sum of $7,550, which, with the amount received from the State School Fund, and the income of the Coddington land, has been sufficient to carry all the schools through the year.
One school in the West District was not established until after the commencement of the year, and the teacher, being a new beginner, was engaged at a less price than has been paid the other teachers in town. As this teacher has been very successful, she will be entitled to receive hereafter as much as others of the same grade. The school in the North District is now in good 3
18
hands, but the teacher will not long remain with the present com- pensation.
To meet deficiencies in these Districts, we would recommend that the sum of $165 be added to the appropriation of last year. It is not supposed that the town expected the cost of making fires, cleaning school houses, &c., to be taken this year from the money raised for the support of schools, as the law authorizing this did not take effect until two months after the appropriation was made. To meet these bills the additional sum of $150 will be required, which will make the whole sum necessary to be raised $7,865.
In making this estimate, we have provided for no increase of salaries, except in the cases named ; yet the Committee would not disguise the fact, that the best teachers are not receiving as much as is paid in many of the neighboring towns, and they are therefore liable to be called away at any time, leaving their places to be filled by others of less experience.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
