All errors or omissions noticed in the foregoing report of mar- riages, births, and deaths reported to the Town Clerk will be corrected.
Marriages of several parties, residents of this town, have not been returned to this office, which accounts for any deficiency in the record of marriages.

REPORTS
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND
Superintendent of Schools,
OF THE
TOWN OF WEYMOUTH,
For the Year 1874-5.
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
THE Annual Report of the School Committee of Weymouth, with the accompanying Report of the Superintendent of Schools, is here- with respectfully submitted.
The following extracts from the records of the Town Clerk are the authority by which the Committee have been governed in their man- agement of the schools during the year :---
Under the date of March 1, 1875, it was
Voted, To raise for the support of public schools the ensuing year the sum of twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars.
Voted, To instruct the School Committee to employ a Superin- tendent of Schools at a salary not exceeding eleven hundred dollars.
Voted, To authorize the School Committee to use the eleven hundred dollars raised for. the payment of a Superintendent of Schools to the increase of the salaries of female teachers, provided no superintend- ent is employed by this town for the ensuing year.
At a meeting of the citizens of the town, held in June, it was
Voted, To appropriate the further sum of four hundred dollars for the payment of a Superintendent of Schools.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The public schools throughout the town were kept, during the year 1875, forty-one weeks,- two weeks longer than in the preceding year. This increase in the number of weeks that the schools were taught occurred in consequence of the financial year not corresponding with the school year, which latter, according to the by-laws of the town, " commences on the first day of August, and closes on the last day of July of each year." During this school year the schools are invaria- bly taught forty weeks, but the arrangement of the terms is such that, reckoning from January to January, there may be a variation in either direction of one week from the normal length. As the cost of main- taining our schools per week is nearly $600, it readily appears to what
64
cause the excess of expenditure the past year over that of the year before is mainly due. It should also be borne in mind in this connec- tion that the municipal year of the town does not coincide with either the financial or the school year, and that the schools are taught after New Year's Day, two months before the annual meeting of the town is he d.
CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.
The first duty of the new Board, after its organization, was to in- quire into the general condition of the schools. It was found that under the direction of the Superintendent they were in active and harmonious operation, and requiring no special change in management. It was decided that the closing examination in the Primary De- partment should be conducted orally ; that the Intermediate and Grammar grades should be subjected to written examinations on ques- tions prepared by the Superintendent, and should also have oral examinations, which should be public, and that the High School examinations should be conducted publicly. Although the Com- mittee did not receive from Mr. Lewis any formal report at the close of the school year, yet they have reason to believe he will endorse the following statements concerning the schools up to that date (July 31).
The North High School remained under the charge of the same teachers as during the last year, and the closing examination showed the same careful, thorough work on the part of the teachers which has characterized the school in the past. There was a slight increase in the number of pupils over last year (1873-4), with the prospect of a much greater increase for the present year, which has since been verified. A class of eight graduated at the close of the summer term.
The South High School moved from the uncomfortable quarters which they so long occupied into the new building on Torrey Street at the beginning of the second term. For the remainder of the year an assistant was employed for a portion of the day. While the first term under the present principal was satisfactory, the second proved still more so. The discipline continued good and the classes showed commendable progress. The graduating class numbered three. With the class that entered at the beginning of the present year the school is larger than ever before.
All promotions in the Intermediate and Grammar grades were made to depend on the result of the written examinations held at the close of the summer term, some account being taken of the monthly examinations which were held during the year. These examinations
65
accomplished all that was expected of them, and they seem to furnish the best means of determining whether the pupil is prepared to ad- vance or not. There was a remarkable improvement in the character of the work done in these examinations over those of last year, both in the neatness of the work and in the correctness of the answers.
The discipline in the schools during the year was good. The teachers were remarkably successful in this respect. There were im- provements in the methods of instruction, but there still remained a tendency on the part of some to confine themselves to the text-book, and to make their work that of hearing recitations instead of giving instruction. Still, taken as a whole, the teachers labored faithfully and profitably, and the work of the different grades was well done.
