REPORT ON THE SCHOOL.
It is our duty as Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund to offer advice concerning the action to be taken by the town of Quincy in regard to the school contemplated in the Deeds of Trust. By the requirement of the donor this must be "a school for the teaching of the Greek and Latin languages." He also suggests the teaching of the rudiments of Hebrew Grammar, "if thought desirable." It is evident that President Adams wished to endow his native town with what is commonly under- stood by a Classical School to fit boys for college.' In determin- ing what studies should be added to those required by the trust, our advice must be based upon the probable amount of funds, the modern methods of classical instruction, and the studies usually pursued at the public schools. Taking these things into consider- ation, we cannot think it desirable to attempt to give instruction in the sciences or modern languages at the Adams Academy. It should be a finishing school to receive boys of the age of four- teen and upwards, and impart, in a three years' course, a thorough knowledge of the classical and mathematical studies required for admission to the best American colleges. We believe that a school established upon this basis, and controlled by competent management, may acquire a high reputation, and supply a want that is widely felt. There has been of late years a difference of opinion concerning the value of Greek and Latin whether as men- tal discipline or in their intellectual results. But, considering the foolish ways in which these languages have been taught, and the amount of time that has been wasted over them, the fact that they have eminent defenders left is no slight proof of their inherent worth. We are persuaded that those best able to recognize the demands of a scientific and industrial age have a high appreciation of the value of classical studies when postponed to the last years of school attendance, and pursued under a teacher versed in .
40
modern methods of linguistic training. The instruction at present given in our High School forms a good preparation for a classical course, and should be supplemented by the Adams Academy for any who may desire it. We are advised by gentlemen prominently connected with education that a school of the character indicated would be appreciated at the present time, and, when its reputa- tion became established, would draw a valuable class of tax- payers to the town.
We therefore recommend that a Board of Managers be consti- tuted (of whom one third shall be chosen annually) to establish and govern the Adams Academy as a classical and mathematical school. And we recommend that it be opened as soon as a suitable teacher can be obtained with the funds available for that purpose, together with such fees from pupils as the managers con- sider it best to demand.
The following regulations are suggested, subject to such changes as the managers shall from time to time deem expedient : -
REGULATIONS.
I.
The title of the School shall be the Adams Academy of Quincy.
II.
The Academical Year shall be divided into terms corresponding with those of the Town Schools, and the course of study shall be limited to three years.
III.
The examination for admission to the Adams Academy shall be the same that is required for Harvard College, with the exception of the classical and mathematical studies pursued at the school.
IV.
In correspondence with the system of equivalents recently adopted at the examinations for Harvard College, studies in Solid Geometry, Logarithms, Plain Trigonometry, and Elementary Mechanics, shall be substituted for portions of the classical course, when the parents or guardians of pupils desire it.
41
V.
There shall be semi-annual examinations, conducted by the managers, and no pupil whose progress is unsatisfactory shall be allowed to remain at the school.
The following course of study is submitted to the consideration of the ministers, magistrates, lawyers, and physicians of Quincy, who, by the terms of the Trust, may advise any Board of Mana- gers the town shall appoint : -

AUDITORS' REPORT.
WE, the undersigned, Auditors of Accounts for the Town of Quincy for the year ending Feb. 1, 1872, have examined the accounts of the Treasurer, and find them correctly kept, and with proper vouchers for all moneys paid out.
Of the Selectmen's accounts we cannot speak so favorably, for though they show proper vouchers for all moneys drawn from the treasury, we find that the Chairman of the Board has been in the habit, through the year, of collecting bills due the town. A part of the money so collected he has at the close of the fiscal year paid to the Treasurer, including four hundred dollars for lots sold at the cemetery, but we have good reasons for believing that this is but about one-half the amount actually collected from that source, and there is still a considerable sum in addition due from him to the town, the amount of which we are unable to ascertain.
We have also examined the accounts and assets of the Wood- ward Fund, and, find them correct and in agreement with the schedule given in the report of the Treasurer of the Fund.
