mencement, to twenty-four at the close, of which four on- ly attended regularly during the session. These circum- stances, would necessarily prevent such progress as might otherwise have been expected. Yet enough has been evinced to convince all of the capability of the teacher.
J. A. ANDREWS.
New Worcester. The Primary School has enjoyed, through the year, the efficient and highly satisfactory dis- cipline and instruction of Miss Hester M. Deland, who has secured the confidence of parents and pupils, by her continued and faithful devotion to the interests of her charge.
The Mixed School has been most of the year under the care of Miss Wheelock, an accomplished and successful teacher, and has made improvement corresponding with its excellent advantages. After the resignation of Miss Wheelock, which occurred late in the autumn, it was thought advisable by the district, in view of the experi- ence of the preceding winter, to abandon the plan of a permanent school, under a female teacher, and to return to their former custom of employing a male teacher in the winter. The Board concurred in these views, and selected to the situation of teacher Mr. G. A. Jencks, the present incumbent, under whose direction the school is now making good progress. The number of pupils, however, in this school, is greater than the room was intended to accom- modate. The Committee, therefore, suggest the expedien- cy of establishing a school of an intermediate grade, and employing another female teacher during the year.
ELI THAYER.
The South Worcester School, under the charge of Miss E. Badger during the past year, has fully met the expecta-
1
34
tions of the Committee, and we have reason to believe, of the district, from the fact that they have expressed an al- most unanimous wish that their present teacher should have charge of the school another year. The greatest number of scholars upon the register, during the past year, has been 47, and the average number of daily atten- dance about 38. The Committee have no hesitancy in saying, that, from the general improvement of the pupils and management of the school, Miss Badger possesses the qualities of an excellent teacher .*
P. HOLMES, E. D. WETHERBEE.
Quinsigamond School. This district has not yet adopt- ed the permanent school plan-but is taught during the winter Term by a male, in summer by a female.
During the winter Term of four months, it was under the charge of Mr. Newell, and made an advancement alike commendable to teacher and pupils.
The material of this school is perhaps excelled by that of no other in the city, taken as a whole, combining an ambition to excel, with sentiments of respect and good or- der ; and hence, throughout the term, good discipline was maintained, without any resort to means, other than those. that appeal to the heart and understanding, and a profi- ciency in the studies was manifested that is seldom wit- nessed in a common school.
The Committee feel that the interest, taken by parents in this school, has contributed not a little to its success.
" We regret to add, that, since the above report was written, Miss Badger after a brief illness departed this life. She had won the esteem of parents and pupils at South Worcester, and they manifested their sympathy, by a full attendance at the funeral in Framingham. This is believed to be the first instance, for a long time at least, where a teacher has died in office. If " the good die young," let the survivors be prepared to follow.
35
During the summer Term, it was taught by Miss Mary H. Williams, who had taught the same two previous Terms, and commenced under the favorable auspice of having the acquaintance and confidence of the parents and scholars.
The school was continued 20 weeks, exclusive of a five weeks vacation in July and August, and in every respect, so far as was perceptible, fully answered the sanguine ex- pectations of the Committee. The school, at each visita- tion, appeared studious and orderly, while the confident yet modest correctness of the recitations, demonstrated that the school was excellently taught, as well as governed; and we trust proved to the teacher that her efforts, for the moral and intellectual advancement of her pupils, were duly appreciated and improved. The rare qualifications of this teacher, fit her for a school of much higher grade, and increased responsibilities. C. E. PRATT.
The Blithewood School has been very successful in its operations during the past year. Miss Mary A. Bigelow, who had taught this school for nearly three years, resigned at the close of the summer Term, and removed with her family to the State of Ohio, where she is now engaged in teaching. She carries with her the best wishes of her pu- pils and their parents to her new field of labor. Her place has been happily supplied by the election of Miss A. A. Mixer, under whose instruction, the school is making very satisfactory progress. The experience of another year enables us to reaffirm what was reported last year .- The teachers of this school have illustrated, in a happy manner, the superior benefits ensuing from permanent female teach- ers, especially to smaller scholars. J. F. BURBANK.
Providence St. School. This is a new suburban school, located for the present in the Medical College. It has
36
been taught by Mrs. E. Coe, a teacher of long-tried ex- perience, who has given entire satisfaction to the friends of the school. The number of pupils has been unusually large. The limits of the school have been reduced at two several times, and the present average is over fifty pupils. The labors of instructing are too great for one teacher, and it will be necessary before long, either to provide an assistant teacher, or to establish a primary school. No teacher can do justice, in a mixed school of over fifty pu- pils, either to herself or to the scholars. The number of classes must always be large, as it is not possible to reduce them as in the graded schools, and the labors of the teach- ers are necessarily arduous. The studies embrace those of the grammar, secondary, and primary grades, and the salary of the teachers ought to compare with those of the graded schools. J. F. BURBANK.
Pond School. The winter Term of this school, was taught by Miss Smith, who gave perfect satisfaction to the District and Committee. Her resignation at the close of the Term, was much regretted by the parents and scholars. The summer Term was taught by Miss H. A. Bigelow, who seemed deficient in energy and government. The fall Term was kept by Miss Jenks who, by her persever- ance, completely subjected the school. The talent for gov- erning and thorough method of instruction was more plainly manifested by the prompt and interesting recitations of each scholar; and other evidences furnished satisfactory proof, that Miss Jenks ranks amongst our most faithful and competent teachers. WM. M. LAMB.
The school at Northville, District No. 12, has been un- der the instruction of Miss Martha W. Barnes, who had taught it with good success for two terms previous to the commencement of the present municipal year.
37
In consequence of business being resumed in two man- ufacturing establishments within the district, the school has been considerably enlarged, and rendered somewhat more difficult of management.
The examination, at the close of the last term, was quite creditable to both teacher and scholars; and the Committee are happy to report the school in a prosperous condition at the close of the present year. J. H. BROOKS.
Burncoat Plain District. Of the school for the Win- ter Term that your Committee found in operation at the commencement of the past year, they can say but little, as they knew nothing of the condition of the school at the commencement of the Term. At its close, it certainly gave but slight evidence of reaching that high standard of ex- cellence, so desirable to attain,-perhaps its chief point of merit lies in the forcible manner it illustrates-how little can be accomplished, by the best of teachers-when the only unity of ideas (of the parties in interest,) that appar- ently existed-was to be found in the unity formed by the numerical count of each person of the district-cer- tain it was, no two ever thought alike, long.
The Summer Term of twenty-two weeks, under Miss Sarah Brown, was highly creditable to her skill and faith- fulness as a teacher. It certainly was a striking proof of what may be accomplished under difficulties.
Chamberlain District .- This school was successfully taught for the Winter Term by Mr. Sylvanus Sears, and for the Summer Term by Miss Sarah More. It is now changed to a permanent School, and remains under the very satisfactory and successful instructions of Miss More. The school is small, but excels in its character many which are larger. N. T. BENT.

The Board wish to call attention to the subject of school houses, particularly in the southern section of the city. It will be seen, that, if a line drawn East and West through Front Street, be extended across the central part of the city, only two school houses, including that on the com- mon, are in the southern section; and most citizens are under the necessity of sending their children long distan- ces to attend the school to which they are assigned. Boys who attend the grammar school must go oftentimes a mile and a half, which is found very inconvenient and extreme- · ly unjust.
The prospective wants of the city will imperatively re- quire a new school edifice upon the city's lot on Sycamore street, capable of accommodating three or four hundred pupils, of the primary, secondary, and grammar grades. A similar building will also be needed, on Salem street, to accommodate that part of the city, and to receive the primary schools now taught in the brick school house on the Common ; so that the long-cherished plan of improv- ing the Common may be carried out, and the schools lo- cated in more convenient and retired positions. Smaller edifices will also be needed in the easterly suburbs, on Providence street ; and, in the westerly suburbs, on or near Newton street. Another building will by and by be needed for secondary and primary schools north and west of Wal- nut street. This would greatly accommodate the citizens residing upon the hill, west of Main street, and would prevent the frequent occurrence of accidents to the smaller pupils, from the crowd of business and rapid travelling on Main street, and the danger of passing up and down the steep and difficult westerly streets, in winter and wet weather.
It is a matter of great satisfaction to the Board, to know
39
that the schools are in a very prosperous state. The last annual examination, according to the testimony of numer- ous friends, was one of the most successful which has been held in the city. The suburban schools are improving in character and efficiency; and, it is believed, give general satisfaction to all concerned. It is worthy of special note, that, in no year, since the organization of the city, has there been so little occasion for discipline in the schools, -which shows the excellency of our system, and the wis- dom of adhering to the results of long-tried experience.
