WORDS BY IRVILLE F. DAVIDSON, MUSIC BY CLARA G. NEWTON.
As restless mortals love to roam, And seek afar some foreign land, Yet in their hearts the love of home Half holds them to their native strand ; So is our school-life left behind, And on we press with eager eye, Yet there are fixed within each mind Fair memories of the days gone by.
With feelings of regret we part, Although the future beckons on ; Alluringly she tempts each heart With prizes rich for vict'ries won ; So wavering here we stand to-night, Prepared to step the threshold o'er, Yet dreading time's resistless might, Which must behind us close the door.
As exiles in a foreign clime Recall the joys of years gone by, So shall we in life's autumn time, Turn backward oft a wistful eye, And look to this our parting hour, When hopes are high and prospects bright, And though the storms of life may lower, 'Twill o'er us shed a ray of light.

III. REPORT OF SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL.
To MR. I. M. NORCROSS, Superintendent of Schools :
I have the honor to submit the following report of the condition of the South High School, together with such suggestions for the improvement of it as are deemed essential.
My duties as principal began on the eleventh day of September.
The total enrolment for the first day was fifty-nine, since that time we have lost one pupil and gained one.
The course of study arranged by the committee is adapted for a thorough preparation for any college. The great difficulty is in the fact that those who are going to college do not make up their minds until near the completion of their course, and then take up the college course, when too late, making it nec- essary, perhaps, to spend another year in preparing. As the college course is the one in which the pupil receives the greatest good, it would be wise for all those, who think that there may be a possibility of going to some higher institu- tion of learning, to select this course.
The chemical laboratory has been entirely renovated since the term opened. A new metal top table has been provided, with sections for individual work. A complete supply of chemicals, and apparatus used in performing the one hundred experiments outlined in the manual have also been furnished. The pupil is held responsible for whatever breakage may occur while he is experimenting. In this way he is taught to be careful and painstaking, thereby achieving far better results in the work done. The interest taken in the study of chemistry by the pupil has been very gratifying, and I trust that the physical laboratory will receive the careful attention of the School Board, by another year.
No school can be successful and progressive if there is irregularity of attend- ance. Too many are apt to remain away from school on a slight pretext. This unnecessary absence should not be permitted by the parent or tolerated by the teacher. It not only lowers the standing of the school but keeps the pupil behind in his work.
I wish to impress upon the parents that no teacher can get the best results without their co-operation and sympathy.
The per cent of attendance has been, for the past four months, above ninety- nine.
Whatever progress has been made in this direction is due to the earnest en- deavor of the pupils as well as the instructors.
There is also an increased interest in the studies, and in advancing in scholar- ship, which naturally results in a quiet and thoughtful bearing in the school_ room, and in careful and orderly work.
As the pupil passes from the studies of the Grammar School, for the most part elementary, to the scientific studies of the High School, the language he employs is no longer confined to single ideas and simple sentences. The variety of studies and the general use of logical definitions occasions mental activity, and results in the development of the intellect. This development is perhaps best aided by suclı studies as Algebra, Geometry, Latin, Greek, etc. Probably none of these will be used by him after graduation, but the mental capacity and the power of reasoning being increased and enlarged by such studies, make him better able to enter upon the occupations of practical life.
36
If the High School graduate has faithfully performed the work during the course, he will have the knowledge and the mental discipline necessary for whatever line of work he may wish to pursue.
I find the course of study, while excellent for a school of three or four teach- ers, makes it exceedingly difficult for two teachers. The recitations are neces- sarily short and the work crowded.
I have to thank the committee and the superintendent for their hearty co-operation in being willing to help me in all needed improvements for the further advancement of the school.
Never in the history of the country have children had such opportunities for acquiring an education as those of to-day.
" The highest praise that can be given a school is that it develops strength of ' character in its pupils. This is a product that no examination will declare, that no system of marking will measure. It is shown'only by the lives of its pupils."
ALBERT E. KINGSBURY,
Principal.

BERTHA F. CUSHING.
We are pausing on the threshold, Waiting ready for the strife, Waiting till we shall be ushered To the battle ranks of life : Waiting for the bugle, ringing Through the crowded ranks its call, And the order, " Forward ! " bringing Strife and conflict for us all.
We will seek no earthly treasure, No unworthy, selfish aim ; Not for glory, not for pleasure, Not to reach the heights of fame. Ours a life of self-denial, Willing any cross to take, Fighting foes, enduring trial, Ever for our Master's sake.

IV. REPORT OF WARD IV. EVENING SCHOOL.
To MR. I. M. NORCROSS, Superintendent of Schools :
As Principal of the Pratt Evening School I respectfully submit the following report: -
The school opened Oct. 23, 1893, with a membership of thirty-five, and was continued for nine weeks of three two-hour sessions each.
The greatest number present upon any evening was twenty-six. The average attendance was eighteen.
38
The pupils' ages ranged from sixteen to forty-nine, by far the larger proportion being under twenty-five.
The course of study included penmanship, arithmetic, language, geography, reading, spelling, civil government and the study of commercial law and busi- ness forms, in all of which work the chief endeavor was to impart practical instruction.
A large percentage of the membership was composed of young ladies and gentlemen who had completed the entire day school course, and who thus sought to round out their proficiency in the practical English branches, a fact that it is pleasing to note as giving a character to these schools that may prove helpful to those whom pride may have heretofore deterred from securing these advantages.
The greatest difficulty thus far encountered in the evening school work is irregularity of attendance, - an obstacle difficult to surmount when we consider the inclement season during which the sessions occur, coupled with the fact that most of the pupils come to their evening tasks already wearied with the occupations of the day.
Nevertheless, it is believed that by following a few of the hints suggested by experience, this difficulty can be largely overcome, and the beneficial results from these evening sessions greatly enhanced.
Yours respectfully, GEORGE C. TORREY.

VIII. BOOKS FOR COLLATERAL READING.
For reading in connection with the school work the following ist of books is recommended. Those with figures at'the right are now in Tufts Library ; others, I have no doubt, will be added as soon as there is a general call for them. No attempt at grading has been made, and it is hoped that teachers and parents will assist the children in the selection of books best adapted to their needs.
A list of pedagogical books is given herewith for the use of the teachers.
