THE ADVANCED GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
Under the instruction of Mrs. M. E. Wentworth, this school has performed its usual excellent service in fitting pu- pils for the High School. It receives scholars from all the higher schools in the outer Wards, and from the Grammar School, and gives them a thorough drill, extending through one and two years. Experience has shown the value of the instruction given, and proved the school to be a very import- ant link in our educational chain.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL-NO, I.
This is one of our most useful schools, and, under the care of its successful teacher-Miss Abbie S. Perkins-has enjoyed a prosperous year. It became necessary to transfer it from the old High School building, to the upper room in
1
87
the new. The transfer was made at the beginning of the winter term, and the present quarters have been found spa- cious, well fitted to the purposes of a school, and-save in the matter of reaching and leaving them-very agrecable.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOLS -NOS. II AND III,
taught respectively by Miss Sara L. Thomas and Miss Annie M. Warren, have made good progress, and well attest the faithfulness and skill of their teachers. The first of these schools was under the charge of Miss Ella M. Pinkham-a teacher highly estecmed by us-who, at the opening of the year, resigned. Miss Thomas was advanced to fill the vacancy, and though she encountered difficulty at the outset, she overcame it, and has met with her usual suc- cess. Her promotion led to a series of changes which met the wishes of many, in the reduction of expense, without se- riously impairing the efficiency of the schools.
THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
We have explained, in former reports, the plan pursued in this school; and reported the degree of success which might justly be claimed for it. We have never spoken of it as having passed beyond the experimental stage, nor do we now deem it to have done so. Fortunately, it involves no extra expense, and interrupts no system of instruction,- so that it may be continued or abolished, according as expe- rience shall show either its utility or inutility. In some re- spects, it has vindicated its usefulness. Six of our schools are now in charge of teachers who, having graduated at the High School, enjoyed, in addition, the advantages of the Training School ; and it is only fair to say that some of them have achieved very decided success, while as a whole, they are as successful as any equal number of recent graduates of the Normal School would probably be. There is, of course, a limit, beyond which it would not be wise to appoint teach- ers who had received no other training than that furnished
88
in a town like ours. The Trustees of colleges frequently judge it best to appoint professors educated at some other college than their own ; for they see an advantage in availing themselves of kinds of training in use beyond their own lim- its. The same fact should have weight with us. Indeed, we have, during the year, put the same idea in practice. Deeming it desirable to introduce into our primary schools a method of teaching somewhat allied to that employed in the Kindergarten system, and knowing that the graduates of the Training School had not enjoyed the peculiar instruction necessary, we felt justified in neglecting their claims, though thinking well of their general qualifications, and going else- where for a teacher. Still, if we can raise up competent teachers from among ourselves, there are manifest reasons why we should do so, and give a portion of our posts of in- struction to them. We have seen no disadvantages of the Training School, sufficient to demand its discontinuance, and know of no reason why it should not be still sustained, if there should be graduates of the High School desiring to en- joy its benefit. It has been, as heretofore, under the care of Miss Elenora Hutchinson, and during most of the year two young ladies have been connected with it, and a third has been associated with Miss M. J. Hersey, whose skill as a teacher by kindergarten methods led to her employment in the First Centre Primary School.
We forbear to speak of other schools, not because we lack the power to speak of most of them in terms of high com- mendation, but because we see no special reasons for doing so. They have been, as a whole, satisfactory in respect both to the order maintained, and the instruction imparted.
EXPENSES.
The reduction of appropriations for the support of the schools, made at the last annual meeting, led the Committee to fear that they would not be able to carry them through the year, without cutting down salaries to an extent that might be of serious detriment to the schools. They were, however,
89
agreeably disappointed. Until within a very few years, it has been held that the money from the State fund, amounting to between two and three hundred dollars, should pass directly into the hands of the School Committee. Three or four years ago, however, it was thought by the Selectmen that it should be paid into the Treasury of the town. The School Committee, though at the time doubting the correctness of the opinion, acquiesced in it. This year, the matter was brought up again, and, as the law is very clear upon the sub- ject, the money in question, together with that for the previ- ous year, was allowed to go into the hands of the Committee. This increased the amount of funds at our disposal. The resignation of two of our teachers, who were among those to whom the highest salaries were paid, enabled us to make va- rious changes in promoting and transferring teachers, which resulted in the saving of more than seven hundred dollars. We deem it proper to make these statements, inasmuch as we gave it as our opinion, at, the last annual meeting, that the sum voted would be insufficient. It would have been, but for the causes just specified. It should also be understood that, by the changes that have been made, expenses have been already reduced in the aggregate more than five per cent. .
In regard to the coming year we have to say that, inasmuch as the depression in business continues, and reductions in salaries for all kinds of services are taking place, and there- fore it could not be deemed a hardship should the salaries of our teachers be still further reduced, we have thought it best to ask for a sum that will involve an additional reduction of about ten per cent. in the aggregate.
We recommend for the support of schools the coming year the following sums :
For Regular Expenses, $11,000
" Incidental "
1,000
The Committee, as composed at the commencement of the year, was soon changed, in respect to some of its members. The death of the lamented Henry D. Smith, Esq., and the resignation of Mr. Chaplin G. Tyler, led to the election by
90
the Selectmen and the Committee, of Mr. T. E. Balch and" Rev. Charles Keyser, D. D. The ill health and absence from town of the last named member, accounts for the absence of. his name from the Report, which is hereby
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF THE
BEEBE TOWN LIBRARY.
Education is a necessity of our being. Every one will have it of some kind, and in some degree. Where there is intellect it must enlarge, though not necessarily for good, for one may learn to lic, cheat and steal, without the knowledge derived from schools ; he may be an expert in the arts that make accomplished rogues, without the aid of books. Since, then, the faculties of the mind must be developed and cx- panded, provisions are made through the system of frec schools, to furnish, for all the youth of our land, a degree of instruction, at least of an intellectual nature. But, mere school knowledge is usually inadequate to fit them for all the duties to be met with in life's diversified journey. They need a wide and varied experience, which is provided for them in part, in the lives and writings of others, carefully prepared and placed upon the shelves of the Public Library. Inter- course with good authors adds lustre to the polish of schools. It opens new fields for thought and investigation, and allures to greater researches and higher attainments in knowledge.
But there are those in every community, whose early sur- roundings were less favorable for culture, or if the opportu- nities were presented, they were not improved. As time brings them in contact with the world, and as their judgment begins to mature, a feeling of need is experienced ; a desire to compensate in part, for the past, by laying hold of the op- portunities of the present. Nor are they without encourage- ment. Their efforts are aided by a collection of books which
94
contain every variety of help. In some branches of science they cannot obtain exact knowledge without the aid of the living teacher, but the taste may be improved, and an easy and correct style of conversation be acquired.
A careful reader of ordinary taste not only allows his feel- ings to be wrought upon while perusing a touching story, but he admires the language with which the thoughts in the narration are clothed, and in giving expression to his own thoughts, we may expect that he will employ an improved style of speech. In conversation we naturally make use of expressions with which we are most familiar, whether they be low and sordid, or pure and elevating ; so that students who spend their leisure with good authors, not only imbibe their sentiments, but their manner of holding and expressing them. In this way some are enabled to engage in intelligent conversation, with grammatical precision. Though they never have spent an hour in the study of English Grammar, they will converse more in accordance with grammatical rules, than others who have taken all the courses in the Com- mon Schools, High School and College.
The Library then is an educator, to whose instructions all have free access. Those who are wise and read for improve- ment and advancement in knowledge, will select and peruse such works as will yield the greatest amount of profit and in- crease their capacity for usefulness and happiness.
We may hope that many of the readers of the Beebe Li- brary will thus improve their golden opportunities, and be- come wiser and better for the privileges which the town has so liberally furnished.
Acting under the authority given by a vote of the town at the last annual meeting, the Trustees have exchanged 27 copies of the Town History with other Institutions and Mu- nicipalities.
Near the commencement of the present financial year, one of our number, Henry D. Smith, Esq., was suddenly re- moved from us by death. His familiarity with books, and his connection with book-publishers, made him a valuable mem- ber of the Board. His sympathy with the educational. in-
95
terests of the towr has been long apparent, as gifts to the Public Schools and other liberal acts bear ample testimony.
The special work of the Library during the year may be seen by consulting the Report of the Librarian.
