Near the close of the summer term another exhibit of school work was made. It comprised penmanship, free hand and mechanical drawing, illustrations of form study in paper, clay, sticks, models, mat-weaving, nature study and language work. The exhibit was visited by a large number from our own and neighboring towns, and was highly commended by all.
An unusual number of changes have taken place in our teaching force during the year ; in most cases, caused by calls to more attractive positions. Mr. Arnold left the High school for a year's study in Germany ; Miss Goodrich, for a more de- sirable position ; Miss Oldham, who had done valuable service for six years, resigned in June to accept a position in a city school ; Miss Curtis, Miss Riley and Miss Taylor for like reason.
Miss Annie F. Morse, who for many years had done valua- ble service in our primary schools and was a teacher of excellent spirit, died during the summer.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
One of the disadvantages to which some of our schools are subjected is the frequent change [in teachers, especially when the change occurs during the school year. In and near the cities higher salaries are paid than we have been accustomed to pay here, and school authorities are constantly on the watch for the most desirable teachers. There is only one remedy for this interruption to the progress of our schools.
Another obstacle to most efficient work is the two large number of pupils in a room. With the relief afforded by the overflow school there are still five schools whose attendance has ranged from 50 to 67 pupils. This does not mean the number enrolled but the number in actual attendance during parts of the year. With so many pupils in a room the teacher labors under disadvantage even when a helper relieves of a part of the work. Individual attention is precluded.
In previous reports the pressing need of larger accommoda- tions for the village schools has been urged. The demand grows more urgent, and ought not longer to be delayed. The next appropriation made by the town for any special purpose should be to meet this growing demand.
In closing this report I wish to express the feeling of re- newed obligation to the teachers for the spirit of hearty co- operation and the faithful service that have characterized their work; and to each member of the committee for the consider- ation and courtesy extended throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
J. T. CLARKE, Superintendent.

The apparatus in service remains the same as last year, with the exception that we have added (2) two mechanical gongs-one 10 inch in No. 1 house, and one 14 inch at No. 2 house ; also added 600 feet of rubber lined hose, making a total of 2,950 feet of leather and 1,500 feet of rubber lined hose.
Electrician's Report.
Gentlemen :- In my report last year I recommended placing a Fire Alarm box at the corner of Everett and Park streets, and also one on the Flat. I would again recommend these boxes as the locality that would be covered by the boxes is now some distance from a box, and a fire in either section would get con-
155
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
siderable headway before an alarm could be given from the nearest box.
Over 1250 blows have been given on the Fire Alarm dur- ing the year, for alarms of fire, daily and weekly tests, no school signals, etc., and in all cases, has given a prompt and correct response to all demands from box and signal key.
There have been 17 alarms of fire and 2 general alarms.
Several of the alarms have been needless as the fire was all out before the alarm was given, and in one case the department was called out and the citizens gathered from all directions be- cause some one saw a red skirt fluttering in the wind near a building and sent in an alarm, thinking there was a fire.
Be sure in all cases that the services of the department are needed before giving an alarm, then "Pull hook down ONCE and let go." Do not touch the box again without orders.
The line has been broken or cut 5 times. but in each case promptly repaired.
Changes on the line are as follows :
1895.
May 16. Changed the Chief's tapper from Lensdale to the gold stock room in the American Optical Co's works.
June 10. Placed a 10 inch mechanical gong in No. 1 engine house.
June 14. Placed a 14 inch mechanical gong outside No. 2 engine house.
June 17. Placed tapper in Asst. Lamoureux's house.
July 2. Connected Chief Phipps' house with sub line circuit.
July 8. Placed tapper in Asst. Marble's house.
July 13. All boxes were inspected and painted.
Sept. 20. Removed main line tappers from Seavey's and Bowlen's barns, substituting bells from the sub circuit.
Received during the year 2 bbls. blue vitriol, 1-2 mile line wire, 62 zincs.
156
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
Supplies on hand March 1, 1896, 34 coppers, 25 zines, 50 lbs. copper chips, 25 lbs. old zines and 2-3 coil line wire.
Respectfully submitted, ANDREW F. HALL, Supt. Fire Alarm Telegraph.
Southbridge, Mass., March 1, 1896.
Water Supply.
We wish the people to bear in mind that there are two parts of the town which are almost wholly unprotected by a supply of water. One being Plimpton and Pleasant streets at Globe Village, and the other being Charlton road, which has increased greatly in valuation the last two years. Should a fire occur in either of the places, much valuable time would be lost in try- ing to get a supply of water.
We are most grateful for the two new hydrants placed this year; one in front of the late W. E. Alden's house on Main street, and one on South street opposite H. M. Fisk's house.
General Remarks.
The two steamers were under contract for new boilers, made by last year's board of engineers, which we have carried out, and both are in first class shape, with the exception that both will need new suctions, and the $200 they will cost is included in the $1,400 recommended to be appropriated for the coming year.
We recommend that the sum of $800 be raised to procure two hand hose carriages, and hose for the same, which would greatly reduce the time of getting a stream on the fire, in the centre of each village.
157
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
It may seem to the citizens of the town, in looking over our report, that the Fire Department has not been run as economi- cally as it might have been the past year. We would say that two bills contracted for, call for a special appropriation. One for repairing Steamer 2, which, when returned from Worcester with new boiler, was still out of repair; her pumps, valves and pistons were in bad shape. We at once had them repaired by Cole" Bros .. which necessitated the expenditure of nearly $100. Also, after looking over the de; artment hose, the first of the year, we found that, owing to the amount of leather hose not fit for service. if a large fire should occur, our need of enough suitable hose would cause a serious loss of time. We at once procured 600 feet of rubber-lined hose at an expense of $218.51.
We think that the addition of two new boxes to the fire alarm circuit would materially increase its efficiency, and recom- mend a box on the Flat and one at the corner of Everett and Park streets, and recommend an appropriation of $125 for the same.
The Steamer and Hose No. 1 have been painted this year. and the coming year the supply wagon should be painted and the two trucks varnished, which would make all of the appa- ratus in first-class condition.
We would recommend that the appropriation to meet the running expenses be $1,400, which includes $200 for the suc- tions.
In conclusion we would thank the Board of Engineers for their support during the year, also the members of each com- pany. We wish to commend the Electrician for his ready and efficient attentions to all demands made upon him during the year.
Respectfully submitted.
