and ready to do their part with enthusiasm and earnest- ness. The work will be planned and the teachers instructed, withoutexpense to the Town. by the State Director of Art. Mr. Henry T. Bailey. Drawing is now regarded as one of the fundimental branches of education, and the law requires that instruction in it shall be given in each town in the State.
Walter Smith, late State Director of Art, well said of drawing, -"No house was ever built, no steam engine ever constructed, no garden ever laid out, no ship ever planned, no tunnel ever bored, no machine ever put to- gether, without its aid. It lies at the basis of all industry as well as of all art."
High School.
At the beginning of the Spring term, the management and work of the High School, having been found unsatis- factory, exchange of masters was made ; Mr. J. F. Rich, of Belfast, Me., taking the place of Mr. M. H. Bowman ; while the competent assistant, Mrs. Slack, continued her work.
That the change was for the benefit of the school was shown by the marked improvement in discipline, both in and out of the school-room.
No cases of insubordination have been reported, and the pleasant relations apparently existing between master and pupils are to be commended. The air of cheerful- ness, good order, and hard work in the school-room

reflect much credit, upon the easy tact and good judg- ment by which such results are secured.
The work done by the several classes has been, on the whole, satisfactory, though in many cases, there is a lack of interest and of a proper appreciation of the benefits of a High School course. This lack may be explained in part, by the alarming array of absences which disfigure the record book. Parents should more fully realize the importance of punctual attendance, and teachers and Committee use their influence in securing it.
During the Summer vacation, the interior of the build- ing was thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and painted ; the desks smoothed and varnished ; the blackboards reno- vated. The room now presents a clean and wholesome appearance, which, with a little care, may serve until the Town is able to furnish its youth with more suitable accommodations.
The graduating exercises of the class of '88 were held in the Unitarian Church, June 22.
The auditorium was beautifully decorated by the pupils and friends of the school ; music was furnished by the Oxford Quartette of Boston ; the essays and declamations were well presented ;while the large and interested audience, completely filling the house, attested the strong hold which the High School has upon our townspeople.
The diplomas were presented by the Chairman of the School Committee, Mr. George W. Bailey, to the follow- ing graduates :

Grammar and Primary Schools.
At the close of the Spring term, the resignations of Miss Annie E. Chubuck of the Beach Street School and Miss Josie M. Litchfield of the Charles Street School were accepted by the Committee, they having chose other fields of work. Their places were filled by two graduates of our High School, -Misses Merritt and Sulli- vall.
The place of Miss Carrie W. Litchfield, of the Willow Street School, who has leave of absence on account of ill health, has been acceptably filled by Miss Mary Maynard of Hingham. The friends of the school earnestly hope that Miss Litchfield's health may soon allow her to return to her school duties.
Our present arrangement of school districts necessitates an outlay of money for which we are getting no fair equivalent.
The large territory covered by the Town includes ten primary schools, four of which number less than twenty pupils. There can be no live teaching, no enthusiasm. no class spirit, no healthy rivalry, no ambition, in an ungraded school of such small size. Consolidation has been successfully tried in nearly all the small towns of the State.
In the last report of the State Board of Education, the agent says, "There are still many, schools that ought to be abandoned, the few children being provided for else- where. The large number of such schools, in the sparsely populated portions of the State, show how strong are local attachments, and how tenaciously we cling to these signs of a former prosperity, appropriating our hard- earned money with a courage worthy of a better cause, and sacrificing our children with a blind superstition, to maintain institutions that have long outlived their use- fulness. All intelligent observation and experiences show that it is unwise to maintain small schools wher- ever it is possible to avoid it."
It has been suggested that children be kept five years in the primary grades rather than four, as at present ; but that would seem to be giving undue prominence to primary work, and would deprive some of the greater educational advantages of the grammar and high schools. It would also over-crowd the rooms in the more popu- lous portions of the Town.
The physical condition of our schools needs more attention. The children are contracting incorrect posi- tions and consequent ill health by sitting at badly con- structed desks ; by long standing in awkward attitudes ; by the carelessness of teachers in properly ventilating the school-rooms. Every window and door should be thrown wide open for five minutes at recess and at the close of each session. This will serve a double purpose ; the bad air will be expelled, and many headaches and ner-
9
vous attacks avoided ; and children will no longer be deprived of recesses or detained an unreasonable length of time after school.
In conclusion, we would express our satisfaction with the good progress the schools are making, while we would suggest that there are still greater heights to which they may attain.
