REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
beauty usual to a school room. We have all enjoyed our new school house and are hoping to make it still more attractive, and the lower grades, in their plain houses are striving to improve their surroundings. But, except in a few cases where the teachers have taken pains to brighten the room with her own plants- the children's surroundings are still very plain.
In the High school the entering class has made good progress in object drawing and has painted some of their still-life groups in the natural colors. A few primary school children have posed very willingly as models for the work from life. The class has been much interested in plans of houses, copying some and originating others. In June we made some very good designs for stained glass windows which received much commendation from our friends at the exhibit.
Our charcoal work by the Sophomore class, has been more successful than usual, some dfficult groups being executed by members of the class, and some of our number have been especially successful in the light and shade from casts.
The teachers have been very helpful in many ways and I wish to thank them for their helpfulness and hearty co-operation as with our kind superinten- dent they have done much to make the work a suc- cess.
Respectfully, ANNA F. EAGER.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
SCHOOL SIGNALS.
The school signal has been given six times during the year, twice for one session, three times for no school in any grade and once for afternoon session. On Feb. 5th after a severe storm had cleared away before noon the signal was given at 12.30 for an afternoon session. Not more than half of the pupils responded. The sig- nals are as follows :-
SIGNALS.
Alarm at 8 a. m., one blow, no school for Primary grade.
Same signal repeated immediately, no school in any grade.
Alarmı at 11.30 a. m., one blow, one session.
Alarm at 12.30, one blow, afternoon session for all schools.
Special attention is called to a very brief summary of the laws relating to the administration of the schools. These will be found in the Appendix, and should be understood.
Our teachers have worked faithfully and intelli- gently, and, in the main, the schools have been well conducted. With each years added experience and with the liberal support of the town, it is reasonable to expect constant advancement in methods of instruc- tion and management and in the general efficiency of the schools.
I wish to record my hearty appreciation of the earnest devotion of the teachers to the best interests of the schools, and with thanks to the School Con-

M. E. ELLAM, '99.
A great crowd stood upon a hill, Attention fixed on high, Upon a trembling large balloon, Ascending in the sky.
Within the wondrous large balloon I sat in splendor, fine; And watched their progress tho' the world The class of '99.
My eyes first light upon Miss Hill, A girl so full of life, A belle of high society- She'd make a charming wife.
Then comes Mckinstry, whom you know Wrote splendid odes and poems. He writes them still, he's so stuck up You'd hardly ever know him.
Taylor comes next on my view, Our pride and our delight; He and his wife, in Washington, As senator, we sight.
Miss"Douty though has changed her name,
154
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Though not, indeed her letter, And as we gaze upon her face We know its for the better. In a little country school house With bright faces all around We see Miss Simpson seated, In silence so profound. Miss Underwood, whom we all know So dainty all her life, Has hardly changed an atom; She's a chemist's little wife.
In concert halls and grand salons Where music lovers throng, Miss Upham with her lovely voice Charms each one with her song. In apron trim and cap so neat, With cup and spoon in hand, With smile so sweet, before us Miss Toppin, nurse, doth stand.
The organ's pealed, the choir has sung The congregation's stood, And in the pulpit, near, we see Our one-time classmate Wood. In mossy dells near well built barns Miss Fallows stands in pride; A breeze blows up the whisper "She's soon te be a bride." With algebra and Latin books In scholar's cap and gown We see Miss Thompson, principal In a famous college town.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
What is this book of stories here All, bound in gold and blue; The author's name upon the page Miss Adams, whom we knew.
Within the city's busy din, No time for yearning sighs, We know it's Harold W. Clarke, He's busy, testing eyes.
A bearded busy-looking man, A civil engineer, And when he nearer comes we see It's our friend Charleton here.
With smiling children by her side, With proud look and so grand, We recognize Miss Litchfield, Best teacher in the land.
And one within a hospital Will quickly take her place, Miss Ellam, known as the head nurse; She's traveling now in space.
And now our good balloon descends, It comes down just in time; From out the past the echo comes Of the strains of "Auld Lang Syne."

It is also enacted that a child's certificate "shall not be approved unless satisfactory evidence is furnished by the last school census, the certificates of birth or baptism of such child, the regis- ter of birth, with a town or city clerk, or in some other manner, that such child is of age stated in the certificate."
Before a child under · sixteen can. be granted an age and schooling certificate, he must present to the person authorized to issue the same, an employment ticket, duly filled out and signed. The certificate is to be surrendered to the child when he leaves the em- ployer's service; but if not claimed within thirty days from the ending of his service, it is to be returned by the employer to the superintendent of schools.
"No minor who cannot read at sight and write simple sentences in the English language shall be en- ployed while a public evening school is maintained in the town or city in which he resides, unless he attends a day school or unless his teacher certifies each week that he is in regular attendance at such evening school."

"A failure to produce to a truant officer or an in- spector of factories any age and schooling certificate or list required by this act shall be prima facie evi- dence of the illega employment of any person whose age and schooling certificate is not produced, or whose name is not so listed."
A fine of not more than $50 for each offense is en- tailed upon both the child's employer and his parents when a child under sixteen is employed unlawfully. Any employer who continues a child's illegal employ- ment after notification is to be fined from $5 to $20 for cach day's offence.
Every town of 10,000 or more inhabitants must have an evening school, in which they teach industrial drawing both frechand and mechanical.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
The Library Committee report a highly prosperous year for the library. The increasing use of the library by all classes and the necessary expansion of the library leads the committee to ask for a slightly in- creased appropriation.
Miss Harriet H. Stanley tendered her resignation as librarian in September, going to the Brookline Public Library. Miss Stanley was a most efficient and capa- ble librarian, and the committee accepted her resigna- tion with regret. We were fortunate in engaging Miss Ella E. Miersch, a graduate of Vassar and the Albany Library School, as librarian. She is carrying forward the work of cataloging the library, begun by Miss Stanley, and generally performing the duties of libra- rian in a highly satisfactory manner, ably assisted by Miss Mabel Plimpton. The latter is now regular assis- tant.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
Two hundred and seventy-five new readers have registered since March 1, 1899. Twenty thousand and twenty-six volumes have been circulated for home use. The sections of the library that have been classi- fied all show an increase in circulation. The circula- tion of French books has decreased 3 1-2 per cent. This may be due to the fact that more of the French people are reading English books.
Four hundred and twenty-six volumes have been added, 17 have been removed, 51 volumes have been rebound. The Literary world, the Critic and Recrea- tion have been dropped from the periodical list and the Nation, the Bookman and the Builder's Weekly have been added to the list.
The 200 books included in the finding list for boys and girls have been placed together on shelves to which the children have access. The works on his- tory and biography have been classified and finding lists have been printed of both sections. The books
168
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
of science and education are now being classified and the books of literature are to be classified next.
The newspaper and reading-rooms have been open on Sundays from 2.30 to 6 p. m. since December 10, but the number of readers does not indicate a desire for Sunday opening.
A charge is no longer made for a new card when the old one is brought filled.
Exhibitions of pictures have been given through the Library art club of which the library continues to be a member.
It has been found inadvisable to permit children to visit the museum unless accompanied by an adult.
Through the Massachusetts library club, the library has received an analytical card catalogue of the special papers included in the Massachusetts public documents of 1897. These cards have been placed in the card catalogue.
Various statistics follow this report.
