" The committee have repeatedly visited and examined the several schools supported by the Town. They can remark, gen- erally, that the money so liberally granted ($1,900) by the Town for this object has been faithfully applied in the several wards ; but the committee, though with regret, must observe that there appears more or less defect in almost every school in Town. In some, a want of energy in the teacher seems to retard the progress of improvement. In some, certain contingencies, not within the control of the instructors, have operated to the pre- judice of the school. In others, a great deficiency in books, ink, quills and paper is apparent, and very detrimental to the general progress of the scholars; a great proportion of the children in some of the schools are wholly destitute of books, and those which they have are so various and different the instructors are unable to form them into classes. We find in this connection that Ward 6, Swampscott, received $125, her share of the above appropriation."
The second school-house was located near the present corner of Orient street and Orient court. The third was located on Orient street, the residence to-day of Wesley Marshall. This was the only school-house for several years in that part of the village. The fourth school-house was located on a part of the site of the present grammar school-house on Redington street, and when a new and larger building was demanded the old house was moved to Blaney's Beach, and the grammar school-house, which was the fifth built, approximately, where it now stands. The sixth was built on the "Farms" in 1858, on the land of the late John P. Palmer. The seventh was located on Pine street. After a few years the building was raised another story, to ac- commodate two schools instead of one. The eighth was located on Essex street in 1872. The ninth on Essex street in 1883, the present Essex street building. And now we come to the

[Feb. 21
crowning triumph of all, as we near the close of the nineteenth century, the building of the Phillips school-house in the year '93 and '94; dedicated Nov. 24, '94, an occasion long to be remembered.
Let us now compare the past with the present. One school- house in 1814, valued at $50, one teacher and thirty scholars. This was the beginning. School appropriation, $125.
To-day we have six school buildings, containing seventeen schools, valued at $82,000, twenty teachers and 695 scholars. School appropriation, $19,000.
It is hardly possible to realize the growth of our Town in less than a century. Can we expect as much at the close of the present one ?
We will now review the work of the past year.
High School.
The attendance in this school is certainly on the increase. We have at present 78 pupils, and accommodations for 79. We may be able to add a few more desks, but we are nearing the maximum.
Our principal and assistants are doing all in their power to interest and instruct their pupils, so that they will be well fitted for their life work. All they ask in return is appreciation by parents, and honest, earnest and faithful work by scholars.
We deeply regretted the resignation, at the close of the sum- mer term, of Mr. Charles A. Bean, who came so highly recom- mended, and whom we found deserved every recommendation. Mr. Bean resigned to enter the banking business, where very flattering inducements were offered. The best wishes of all fol- low him in his new business enterprise.
This vacancy was filled by the appointment of Miss Alice G. Coombs of Waltham, who has taught several years and has the best of recommendations. Her work is conscientiously and faithfully performed, and we believe she is winning the hearts of her pupils.
Many changes have taken place, especially in our primary grades.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

Primary Grades.
Miss Emily P. Ellis, teacher in the Redington Street School, retired at the close of the school year ; and Miss Edith Gardner, who has so faithfully and successfully served as teacher of the Beach School for the past six years, was selected to fill the vacancy. We are pleased to say that she is filling her new position in a very satisfactory manner.
The vacancy in the Beach School was filled by Miss Mary A. Phillips, who has made such good success in years past in kin- dergarten work. We feel confident that she will give satisfac- tion in her new field of labor. Miss Caro G. Graydon, teacher in the Pine Street II and III Grades was promoted to the new fourth grammar. Miss Bain, teacher of the I Grade, was selected to fill the vacancy. Miss Ida Bassett, a graduate of our High School and a student of Boston University for three years, was appointed to take Miss Bain's place. Her work is meeting the approval of the School Board. Another change was the separating of the grades in the Essex and Pine Street Primaries, Miss Bain taking the III Grade and Miss Machon the II. Formerly Miss Bain and Miss Machon had both II and III Grades. This change was well received by the parents, notwithstanding it obliged some of the children to walk a longer distance than formerly.
Grammar Grades.
We deeply regretted being obliged to disturb the Grand Army Post by taking their room in the Redington Street Building for our new fourth grade. But it was our last resort, the only avail- able room in Town. We were pleased that their old quarters in the Pine Street Building were vacant, and gladly gave them the privilege to occupy them. We thoroughly refitted and fur- nished the Redington street room and occupied it at the com- mencement of the fall term with our new fourth grade. This brings the two fourth grades in the Redington Street Building and saves the children who were formerly obliged to attend the Phillips .School a long walk. We refer to the children who

reside in the upper part of the Town. We have also regraded the grammar schools in the Phillips Building - Miss Hutt and Miss Gould serving as teachers in the two fifths, Miss Fernald and Miss Knight in the two sixths. These changes are bringing good results, as the more single grades we have, better work can be done. We are glad to state that we have only three mixed grades at present, and thirteen schools with single grades. We can assure our citizens and parents that these schools are making rapid progress.
Improvements and Repairs.
It is almost impossible to estimate from year to year the amount that will be required to carry out improvements and make repairs on our school buildings, some things have to be done every year. The past has been no exception. We found upon exam- ination that the concrete walks in the Essex street school yard were in very bad condition, holes large enough to admit a child's foot were found in many parts of the walk, consequently we were obliged to lay new walks. We also made arrangements to heat the entries in the Essex street school-house, finding that they were too cold, also shellaced desks in both Essex and Pine street buildings. The most expensive work was refitting and furnishing the Redington street room formerly occupied by the Grand Army, but it certainly repaid us, as it makes a very pleasant school-room.
We have been somewhat annoyed in discovering leaks in the Phillips school-building, but we were not surprised as it stands, as we all know, where it takes the full force of the storm. We had it thoroughly examined by competent parties who recom- mended that it be repointed on the south side, also that double windows be put on the tower. Work of this sort is always . expensive, but it must be done if we wish to preserve our school property. We think we have at present a tight building as it shows at present no sign of leaking. The parties who did this work were both faithful and interested and anxious to have it prove a success.

Memorial Day.
Memorial Day was observed in Assembly Hall by an address . by Rev. W. B. Shumway, pastor of the Baptist church, also songs and declamations by the school children appropriate to the day. A very pleasing feature was the presentation of a flag to the Grand Army by a little girl at the close of her declamation. In the absence of the commander, Comrade Douglass received it with a few well-chosen remarks. There was a good attendance of parents and citizens. Members of the Grand Army occupied seats on the platform.
Music.
The work in music has been carried on in the same manner as indicated in my last report. The aim has always been to make our pupils good readers of music. It requires much time, patience and effort on the part of teachers and pupils to accom- plish this, but the results are gratifying. In all grades, reading music is required. Much individual work is done, and in the higher classes test lessons are given each month. Sight singing also forms a part of each lesson. The work in music grows more enjoyable each year, for there is no greater incentive to sing than ability to read music. Rhythm and quality of tone are also of great importance and receive their due share of atten- tion. I am able to report satisfactory progress in all of the schools and in some exceptional excellence. The separation of the primary grades has been of great benefit already, and each year the benefit will be more fully realized. As in the drawing, my thanks are due to Committee and teachers for unvarying kindness and helpfulness.
Respectfully,
ELIZABETH A. BILL.

Drawing.
Since my last report the work in this department has been steadily advancing. The aim has been as heretofore to open the eyes of the pupils to the beauties around them, and to cultivate the love of beautiful in both art and nature. Also to give skill to the hand to enable it to represent what the eye has seen. In the early part of the year out-door sketching was attempted with good results. Much attention has been given to object drawing in all grades, varying the lessons with original designs, drawing from life, historic ornaments and casts. In the lower grades original units have been drawn and arranged as borders, surface patterns and radial designs. Creditable work has been obtained. The use of charcoal as a medium for teaching light and shade has been successfully carried into the fifth grade. In the higher classes there has been great gain in ability to handle this medium. Color is always a delight. Many children who find little that is pleasing in black and white work respond at once to color, and grow more observing and mindful of the beauties of nature. Water colors are used in all of the schools, and in ability to use this medium there is gain to report. Neatness and care charac- terizes the work. While I can report good progress in the work of your schools, I also feel the need of earnest and constant effort that our results may be better and better each year. I take pleasure in once more thanking the committee for their uniform kindness and helpfulness, and the teachers for their earnest and faithful work which has contributed so much to the success that has been achieved.
Respectfully, ELIZABETH A. BILL.
In these days of progress the man who does not grow falls be- hind, and it is gratifying to know that so many of our teachers are doing work that tends to improve them professionally. Four

attended the summer school at Salem last summer; six have been attending the lectures of the Twentieth Century Club in Boston this winter; six are taking the course in Geology under Prof. Barton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and two are taking private lessons in drawing and painting. The teachers have held meetings for the discussion of their school work and its improvements, and have had a few lessons on birds and minerals, under charge of the Principal of the High School.
It is perhaps not generally known how many of the pupils of the High School are looking towards some higher institution of learning. Of the 74 pupils in school in January, 27, or 36 per cent., are planning to continue their studies in some higher school, normal, technical, scientific or classical, that is, " mean to go to college." Of the graduates for the last five years, 41 per cent. have gone to some higher school. The following table shows the number of graduates and the number that have gone to college or normal school from each class :
Class of 1896-8 graduates, 3 to college. Class of 1897-8 graduates, I to college. Class of 1898-8 graduates, 5 to college. Class of 1899-5 graduates, 3 to college. Class of 1900-7 graduates, 3 to college.
The present Senior Class of 1901, 10 graduates, 4 are planning for college. This will compare favorably with most high schools of the State.
