REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
CHANGE OF HOLIDAY.
A petition having been presented to this Board by a major- ity of the teachers, seconded by a large number of parents, for a weekly holiday Saturday, instead of the half-days Wednesday and Saturday, and that a three months' trial be given, as an experiment, it was granted after due considera- tion. At the expiration of three months the parents were asked to vote upon it, and one hundred and ninety-four voted for no school Saturday, to one hundred and sixty-seven for the half-holidays ; the rest had no choice. Most teachers agree that more and better work can be accomplished in one whole day than in the two half-days ; while it is urged, on the other hand, that the little children need the half-day in the middle of the week ; but of the four primaries three went for no school Saturday by a large majority. The committee have no choice in the matter.
SCHOOL-WORK.
Justice to our teachers requires us to express our approval of their year's work, and of their readiness to adopt the improved methods of imparting knowledge. Some observa- ble deficiencies would doubtless have been remedied under more able supervision. Circumstances have enabled us to devote a large amount of time to the interests of the school ; yet the help of a good superintendent, who knew how to carry out reforms, which we have not ventured to attempt, would have awakened fresh interest in both teachers and pupils, and contributed greatly to their advancement.3
The schools are now so well graded, and in such good con- dition, that a more systematic arrangement of their work seems feasible, which, without destroying the individuality of the teacher, or attempting to " run the machine in grooves," shall help each teacher to do her best work in her own way.
13
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
This work, requiring considerable time and thought, with a revision of the school regulations, would probably have been completed this year but for the frequent changes in this Board. We commend them to the favorable notice of our successors.
The interest in the matter of education is so great at the present time, and so thoroughly is it being discussed through- out the Commonwealth, that while the views and criticisms of our most thoughtful educators crowd the daily papers, any general remarks here upon the subject would be superfluous.
In discharging the duties that have devolved upon us, though our action may sometimes have been adversely criticised (perhaps justly so), our aim has been so to expend the funds entrusted to our charge as shall prove, in the end, to have been the best economy ; as the ultimate purpose of whatever has been done or attempted, has been to improve the efficiency of the schools.

THE REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
LYNN: PRESS OF LEWIS & WINSHIP, 230 UNION STREET. 1884.
AUDITORS' REPORT.
THE Auditors having completed their duties beg leave to present the results to the Town.
We are compelled to repeat our former recommendations of the need of the utmost economy in all Departments. The attention of the Town has been par- ticularly called to the cost of supporting the Poor; that portion of last year's Report having been recommitted to us and also considered by a Special Com- mittee whose Report has been laid before you. We do not fully agree with the recommendations of their Report, as an immediate sale of the Farm might not be made at a satisfactory price, but we certainly feel that the amount of wood and milk business done at the Farm should be greatly reduced. We believe great efforts have already been made the past year to reduce the expenditures for outside poor and without doing any injustice to those deserving assistance.
Another department where there is an equally good opportunity for reduction of expenses is on our Highways. A great deal of patching is done without sys- tem, and at a cost that cannot be estimated, as most of the Surveyors render no itemized account, so that it is impossible to tell how much work has been done on any particular street or the price per day or number of days employed.
While all work may have been done with great economy and faithfulness, it is impossible to verify it by any accounts rendered. We believe that to allow so great an expenditure without a proper opportunity to know how and where the money has been spent is injudicious and unbusinesslike. In addition to the amount spent by the Surveyors under the appropriation, various allowances have been made by the Selectmen for extra jobs and various bills, for gravel, bridge work and fencing, so that if the entire expenditure on account of Highways was under one head, it would make a larger sum than the Town would feel we could afford to appropriate, and a larger sum than a judicious board would need to keep our roads in good order.
We therefore recommend the placing our Highways under the charge of a Board of Road Commissioners who shall be responsible for all expenditures in that department.
But we believe the Finances of the Town suffer more from the manner in which our Taxes remain uncollected than from any other source, aud we call at- tention to the list of Abatements. Nearly Twelve Hundred Dollars reckoned among the assets of the Town one year ago have been abated. We are aware in some cases an immediate payment of tax would be a hardship, but as Taxes are presumed to assess upon all their share of the public burdens, they must be collected in order that the expenses may be met. While our Sinking Fund has grown to $14,700 from $6,570, since 1880 our Deficiency has decreased but $3,760, and we thercfore are forced to conclude that our Taxes must be more closely collected or a greater amount raised by taxation.
The labors of the Auditors have been increased, from the fact that the Finan- cial year closes in February, and the several officers do not have proper time to compare and balance accounts before our examination. We suggest that the By- Laws be so changed that the Financial year end in December, and ample time will then be given to balance accounts and distribute Reports in season for an early Town Meeting.
The Estimates for the coming year herewith submitted, meet with cur approva'
