It is scarcely necessary to rehearse the urgent reasons for a new building in the center of the town, in which nearly all of the school children of Mendon could be accommodated. These reasons already appeal to those best able and willing to under- stand and appreciate them, and would have little weight with those who are opposed to a new building because they do not wish the town to spend money on a schoolhouse. This real reason is sometimes covered by the argument, "What was good enough for my father and me is good enough now." Would these people advance the same argument against electric cars and advocate the springless carts and rough roads of our fathers? Would they return to the open fireplace as the
15
only means of heating, call in the doctor to bleed them and engage the parson to regale them with a two hours' sermon in a cold meeting house? Would they be willing to use only the tools and appliances in the shop, on the farm and in the home which our fathers used? In a word would they be willing to practise in the other departments of life what they preach for the schools? Our fathers did get along without many of the con- veniences and necessities of our modern life. It wasn't "good enough for them" but it was the best they could have. Where should we be to-day if they had not progressed and improved upon what they found? Are we living up to their standards?
All that is required in a plain, substantial building suitable for school purposes. Gentlemen, let us have it, and let us have it of our own free will without waiting for state compulsion in the matter.
It gives your Superintendent pleasure in closing to express his thanks for the very cordial spirit which has been shown him by the committee, the teachers, the pupils and the townspeople generally.
Respectfully submitted, E. E. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Schools.
BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM EDUCATIONAL LAWS.
1. All children between 7 and 14, unless sick, feeble-minded, at an approved private school, or otherwise instructed in branches required by law, to the satisfaction of the School Committee, must attend the public school during the entire time of each school year. Penalty to parent or guardian for failure in attendance for five days' session within any period of six months, $20.
2. No child under 14 can be employed "in any factory, workshop or mercantile establishment." "No such child shall be employed in any work performed for wages or other compensation" during the hours when the public school is in session nor before six o'clock in the morning or after seven in the evening.
3. No child under 16 can be employed in any factory, workshop, or mercantile establishment without a certificate from the Superintendent of Schools. He must present an employment ticket from the person who wishes to employ him, on applying for a certificate. The father, if living and a resident, must sign the certificate of age; if not, the mother ; if neither, the guardian.
4. Children between 14 and 16 must either attend school or be regularly employed.
5. Children must be vaccinated before attending school, but a cer- tificate from a regular physician, saying a child is an unfit subject for vaccination, allows attendance.
No child can attend school from a household in which there is a case of small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, or measles, or from a household
16
exposed to contagion from a household as aforesaid. Two weeks after the death, removal or recovery of the patient in a case of the first three mentioned, or three days after in a case of measles, the child may return on presentation of a certificate from the attending physician or from the board of health.

AN OUTLINE FOR THE STUDY OF GEOGRAPHY.

II. Distance: horizontal, vertical. Use a foot rule as a unit of measure. Have pupil measure, and estimate distances.
III. Forms of water : cloud, fog, mist, rain, dew, frost, snow, ice, hail. Talk of these things when they can be observed out-of-doors. Review often.
IV. A general review should be made at the end of the year.
SECOND YEAR.
I. Review the work of the previous year, going more carefully into "Forms of water."
1
22
II. Directions-semi-cardinal directions and points of the horizon. Locate at seat, upon a circumference. Estimate and measure horizontal and vertical distances.
III. Keep a simple daily weather record on the board. Have each pupil keep a copy on paper. [The geography should come under language and seat work.]
IV. A general review.
THIRD YEAR.
I. The Sand-table. Select some local bit of country. Two hills with valley between drained by a stream or pond would be good. Invite the class to visit the place with you if practicable. Then have the pupils mould a sand-map of the locality visited. Follow by maps of the same drawn at the seats upon paper. Repeat the above exercises with other parts of local geography. Teach the idea of a scale by having pupils draw a yardstick, then a blackboard, then a sand-map to a scale. Review directions and apply to maps.
II. Keep a weather record.
III. Geographical terms. Illustrated by the sand-table exercises outlined above, the following terms may be learned and intelligently used : hill, valley, plain, slope, spring, brook, river, lake, ocean, cape, peninsula, island, bay, strait, temperature, weather, rocks, stones, clay, sand, gravel, loam, soil. Do not have definitions committed. Illustrate also by pictures, and sketches by teacher, copied by pupil. The geog- raphy may alternate with other nature study. No text-book used this year.
IV. A review should occupy the first four weeks of the second half-year, and a general review of the year's work be taken in June.
FOURTH YEAR.
I. Review with sand-table the geographical terms studied last year. Draw a local map upon board and paper, and have pupil mould it upon the sand-table. Review the scale drawing and have the pupil study the scales of maps in the text-book, measuring distances with the ruler. Have the pupil mould a map of Massachusetts. Learn additional terms, as mountain, parts of a mountain, mountain range, mountain system, plateau, parts of a river, tributary, delta, river system, river basin. Illustrate with sand where practicable, with pictures with sketches and maps drawn by the pupil and with text-book maps.
II. The earth as a whole. [Each pupil should have a small globe and the teacher a large one. The pupil should record the facts learned in a note-book.]
1. The form of the earth.
2. The earth in space. Does it move and how? Compare with sun and moon.
3. The size of the earth. (a) compared with other heavenly bodies. (b) absolutely, circumference, radius.
4. The hemispheres, poles, equator, parallels, tropics, merid- ians. How numbered?
5. Continents and oceans. Named and recognized from globe first, then wall-map of the world, followed by quick drawings by the pupil to fix general outline and relative positions of land divisions. Proportion of land and water.
6. The world-ridge. Rough diagram by pupil.
7. The text-book. [The text-book may have been referred to
23
for pictures and maps, but not studied previous to this time.] The first thirty pages of the Frye Primary should be thoroughly studied, defini- tions committed. Questions on text written by teacher on board and written answers prepared by pupil. Oral recitations.
III. The work should be reviewed during the first four weeks of second half-year, and a general review of the entire year should be given in June.

Encourage originality of illustration. The teacher should make daily use of globe and wall-map.]
