"The act of respiration and the emanations from the person, which, though insensibly, are constantly taking place, vitiate it to a serious extent. But all good air contains about four parts of carbonic acid gas to 10,000, which amount may be slightly increased by the admixture of human breath, without rendering it close and offensive. Suppose fifty children are confined in a school room twenty feet by thirty, and ten feet high. These children will spoil about one hundred and fifty feet of air in one minute, or nine thousand feet per hour, or twenty-seven thousand fcet in three hours, a usual half day's session. But the room holds only six thousand cubic feet of air, the whole of which these children would spoil in forty minutes. Does not this simple fact show the absolute necessity of ventilation ?"
Regarding the "standard of the best authorities," while they differ somewhat, as to the exact amount of fresh air necessary, it is agreed that a fair average is about ten thousand cubic feet per hour, or about thirty-three feet per minute. This is upon the basis of two hundred and fifty cubic feet of air space in the room to each scholar. If the room is small or overcrowded then the air must be changed much oftener than with the above conditions. Dr. J. G. Pinkham of Lynn, who made an extended report in the 19th annual report of the State Board of Health, on the ventila- tion of school rooms says :
" A reasonable estimate of the amount of fresh air required by the pupils of an ungraded school would be two thousand cubic feet each per hour. For a school room containing ten thousand
140
cubic feet of air-space, and accommodating forty-five pupils, this would mean that eighty thousand cubic feet of fresh air must be supplied each hour, or that the air of the room must be changed completely once in every seven and one-half minutes. The im- possibility of effecting such a result in cold weather, and of keeping the room warm at the same time, with the means of heating and ventilating in common use, must be apparent to any one ; and without regard to the temperature of the room, it would be difficult to effect it except by means of widely opened windows or doors, and a strong breeze blowing directly in. If air should enter at the rate of two hundred lineal feet per min- ute-a liberal estimate-the amount supplied would be ten thou- sand cubic feet per hour, - just one-eighth of what would be needed. * * * * and we still do not have enough to prevent the air of the room from becoming decidedly foul, and remaining so during a considerable portion of the time when the school is in session. But even this limited air supply involves a certain amount of danger. in cold weather from drafts and unequal heat- ing. The evil is not imaginary. It is extremely common for children who are compelled to sit near open windows in school rooms to complain of the draft, and to take cold from this cause."
We might quote indefinitely from equally reliable sources, and all would agree in essential points which are not theoretical simply, but which have been proved practical and sensible.
In January, 1889, an order was received by the committee from J. T. White, Inspector, and approved by Rufus Wade, Chief of the District Police, to improve the ventilation of the High School building, the old High and Grammar school buildings, and the Franklin street building, to the standard of the best authorities.
In consideration of the fact that the town were considering the erection of a new school building, which might relieve two of the buildings, the matter by consent of the state authorities was allowed to rest for the time, but now at the end of another year we find ourselves practically in the same condition as one year ago. It is hardly to be supposed that the state authorities will as readily acquiesce in another postponement.
The act under which the above order was issued, was passed March 20, 1888 and can be found in the Acts and Resolves of that year, Chap. 149.
This law impresses one as being extreme in its provisions. But
141
what does it require? Simply that public buildings including school houses, shall be kept clean and supplied with wholesome air, through some approved method of ventilation, and provided with suitable water closets.
This law cannot fail ultimately to result in great good to the pupils in our schools by directing public attention and the atten- tion of School Boards to a most important question, and one not well understood.
Chief Wade says in his annual report in regard to appliances : " It is no part of the duties of the Inspection Department of the District Police to designate what particular system or method of ventilation is most effective, and to insist upon the adoption of the selected scheme. The results which can be reached and de- termined after proper investigation are what we expect or require." Briefly stated they require the introduction to school rooms of a very much larger amount of pure air than formerly, and the removal of the foul air, and that this shall be done in such a manner as to keep the rooms of even temperature and free from drafts. Systems and appliances are left entirely to the discretion of School Boards.
In January, 1889, T. P. Perkins, civil engineer of Lynn, Mass., who had charge of the improvements in ventilation of some of the Lynn school buildings, was engaged by the Commit- tee to make estimates of the cost of ventilating the buildings mentioned, and the results were reported at the annual town meeting in April.
The town voted to refer the matter to the School Committee for investigation and to obtain plans and detailed estimates of the expense. The School Committee employed Mr. Perkins to make those estimates, and he has submitted two plans, one being essen- tially the same as that used successfully in some of the Lynn school buildings by jacketed stoves ; the other plan being to heat by furnaces.
In the High School building it is proposed to heat and ventilate the entire building below the third floor by means of one piece. This plan contemplates heating by steam ; a necessity long recog- nized by your committee, as the furnaces now in use are inade- quate even for present requirements, and it must be evident that with the supply of fresh air so largely increased, a corresponding increase of heating capacity is demanded.
142
The following estimates include the cost of heaters, steam apparatus for High School building, and the construction of the requisite ventilating chimney stacks and all connecting flues.
The estimates for the two systems are as follows :

While the second system is the most expensive to introduce, there is a very large saving in fuel and labor over the jacketed stove system.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The sub-committee on prudential affairs have the general care and oversight of the school buildings for the purpose of keeping them in repair and the grounds and fences around them. The expenses con- nected with this department have not increased for several years, the appropriation for the past four being $1300, and for three years previous to the last four $2700, $2000 and $1500 respectively. Some of the yards require grading against the concrete walks, and new fences should be built around a portion of Academy Hill. Many of the land owners adjoining the Hill, if not all, claim that the town should pay all of the expense incurred in building the fences, but the committee do not understand that any different principle applies in this case than is generally applied when abutters build division fences between their adjoining lands, each being required to pay his propor- tional part of the cost.
All of the school buildings, except the High and Hamilton, should be painted for their general appearance and protection from the weather. A special appropriation should be made by the town this year for this purpose, and it would be a wise, practical measure for
143
the town to appropriate yearly a certain amount of money to be used at the discretion of the committee in painting the school buildings which most require it. This course of action would remove the necessity of making a large appropriation at any given time for this purpose, and keep the buildings in a better condition for the future than they have been in the past.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Our report presents the record of the usual characteristics con- cerning our schools which have appeared iu former reports.
Harmony, which is so essential to secure the desired purpose for which our schools were established and are maintained, has prevailed between the school authorities, teachers, parents and scholars. Teachers have applied themselves with fidelity and zeal to their work, the scholars have generally been faithful and diligent in their studies, and parents, if not accepting, have not complained of the results attained by the schools as unsatisfactory. Under these favor- ing circumstances, the progress of the several schools in their line of work has been constant and progressive, and their present condition merits public approval.

This is one of the most important grades in our common school system and should receive that support from the public, care and attention from the school authorities, as will secure and retain that class of teachers who are especially qualified by natural and acquired abilities to manage and discipline young children when commencing their school life. It is desirable to have the services of competent teachers in every grade of schools, and more especially in this grade, for it has been truly said, "The teacher of a Primary School sweetens or embitters the waters at the foundation."
At the commencement of the fall term more scholars entered the Hamilton Intermediate School than the room would accommodate, consequently several pupils were transferred to the West Primary, classifying that school into two Intermediate and two Primary grades. Increasing the number of scholars and classes required an increase in the teaching force, and Miss M. A. Currier was appointed assistant teacher. Both instructors are obliged to conduct their school exercises in the main school room, having no other place, which on account of the disturbance necessarily produced in the school by this joint action, seriously interferes and prevents the teachers and scholars from realizing the best results from their labors. -- Miss A. E. Tucker, assisted by Miss H. Horton, instructed the Centre 2nd Primary until the close of the Summer term, when Miss Tucker resigned in consequence of ill health. At the commence- ment of the fall term Miss Carrie L. Mason was appointed principal and Mrs. Florence Allen assistant teacher.
145
Miss E. F. Emerson, teacher in Centre Primary No. 1, after four years of successful service in our primary schools, resigned, to fill a similar situation in Malden for a larger compensation than she received from this town, and Miss Clara P. Riggs, a teacher of excellent attainments for the position, was appointed, and has had charge of the school since Sept. 10th, 1889.

This is one grade in advance of the Primary and divided into three divisions, known as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Intermediate schools or classes.
The Ist, 2nd and 3rd Centre Intermediate Schools contain only one division while the Franklin and Hamilton schools of this grade contain two divisions, because the number of scholars belonging to any one division living within the limits of the two last mentioned school districts, are not sufficient to furnish pupils enough to make a school of suitable size. Schools of this grade are in a successful condition, and the scholars are learning "the cardinal lessons of punctuality, promptness, cleanliness, silence, industry, self-control, attention and application." Miss Lucy E. Evans, teacher of the Centre 2nd Intermediate School, after six years of faithful and effi-
148
cient services, resigned her position in Sept., to accept an appoint- ment as instructor in a school at Arlington, and Miss E. R. Sanborn was transferred from Woodville school to the vacant situation.

This grade is arranged into four divisions, known as the Advanced, First, Second and Third Grammar schools or classes. The Green- wood, Franklin and West schools each contain the Third Gram- mar and one or more divisions of the Intermediate grade, for the same cause which makes it a necessity to have different grades in some of the Intermediate schools. The general efficiency and suc- cess of the Grammar schools during the year is the combined result of duties well and faithfully performed by the teachers, and the degree of interest manifested by the scholars in their school work. Only two changes of teachers have occurred during the year in this department of our schools. Miss Mattie E. Bruce, who taught the Centre Ist Grammar until the close of the summer term, resigned, and Miss L. F. Ingram, formerly a teacher in our schools, but who had been absent for one year, at her personal request for rest and study, was appointed to fill the vacant situation. Miss C. P. Riggs, assistant teacher in the Advanced Grammar school, having accepted the teacher's position in the Centre Ist Primary, Miss Alice S. Apple- ton of Marblehead, a lady of excellent teaching qualifications, received the appointment to the assistant's position vacated by Miss Riggs.
