SCHOOL REPORT.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
THE duty which you have entrusted to us, of managing the educational interests of the Town, and which involves the presenting to you, annually, a report of the condition of the School Department and its requirements, has once more arrived, and it is with pleasure that we can truthfully say, our Schools were never in a better condition than they are at the present time.
We have, during the past year, been forced by resig- nations, to make several changes in teachers; and it is well known a change of teachers always affects a school more or less detrimentally. But owing to the fortunate selections of successors to MISSES MOTT, COLCORD and GALE, we are happy to say the Schools have not suffered nearly as much as we had anticipated. To those who have left us for a broader field of labor, we cheerfully render our heartfelt thanks for their service while with us, and our best wishes for their future welfare. We feel too much praise cannot be allotted to a teacher who exhausts the best years and energies of life in the irksome, yet laud- able pursuit of imparting knowledge to the young, and moulding and developing their future career.
It behooves the citizens of our Town in the future, as in the past, to take their places in the front ranks in educa- tional matters. A poor man's house may be destroyed by
4
SCHOOL REPORT.
fire, and by energy and hard work he can make a new home for his family, but if he neglects to provide for the education of his child, no future exertion on his part can repair the loss.
Your Committee, and no doubt many citizens, have watched with just pride the business success of the boys who have graduated from our Schools, and who are now taking leading places among the best business men of our State.
A pupil graduating from our High School, under its present able management, is well qualified to grapple suc- cessfully with a business life.
A well established school system will give the Town, even if reckoned on a financial basis, far better returns than any other expenditure of money. Such being the facts, do not cripple your School Department by trying to see how small an appropriation will answer the letter of the law. Let us continue the education of our children, and their wisdom will be the best legacy we can leave our posterity.
Many families have moved into Town, and consequently many new scholars have been added to our Schools. Our First and Second Grammar Schools are doing nicely under the leadership of Miss A. M. MOTT and Miss E. J. HAD- LEY. One thing seems inevitable, and that is, that help must be had in the two Schools above mentioned, in the shape of more room, and consequently another teacher. There are about sixty scholars in each room, seats are all full, and no more room for seats. The teachers have been taxed to their utmost in and out of school, and we feel that they should be relieved, in order that they may give more time to individual scholars, who need their especial' care. This matter, we think, we can arrange the coming year with but little expense outside of the salary of another teacher. Our Schools will compare favorably with those of any town of our size in the State.

SCHOOL REPORT.
SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
This department has received close attention, and the small amount of sickness we have had during the year may be partially due to the strict precautions used by teachers and Committee.
TRUANCY.
There has been but very little trouble on account of truancy. The police officers (the same that performed the duty last year) have looked after this matter sharply. They report only six cases during the year.
VACCINATION.
This matter has caused some comment by several of our citizens. It not being optional with the School Committee, we have been obliged to conform to the State law.
HEATING APPARATUS.
Your Committee feel that a burden has been lifted from their minds, by the placing of a new boiler in the Gram- mar School Building. We do not feel that we can use too much caution as regards the safety in life and limb of our scholars, and we did not feel that we were perfectly secure with the old boiler.
SCHOOL PROPERTY.
During the past year the Beach School Building has been painted two coats, the fence repaired and white- washed, and the inside of the building renovated. The Essex Street School Building has been painted, the inside cleaned, and the roof repaired. The Grammar and Pine Street School Buildings have been painted on the outside where most needed. Alterations in the entries of the Grammar School Building have been made, which prove to be useful, both as regards convenience and the safety of

scholars in coming in and going out of the building. The inside of all the school buildings have been cleaned where- ever needed. All the desks and other furniture at the Pine Street, Grammar, High and Beach Schools, have been cleaned, stained and varnished two coats.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
We have found it desirable to change the School Dis- trict lines, so as to somewhat relieve the Pine Street Schools, and give the Beach Schools a larger number of scholars.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
Your Committee have purchased and dispensed all sup- plies with economy for the Town, and convenience to the teachers and scholars.
