Besides in the High School, greater attention should be paid to the cultivation of the æsthetic faculties. Especial attention has been paid to Drawing the last year, and very respectable specimens of. progress were exhibited at the examination. This subject is be- ginning to engage attention as is evident from the School of De- sign recently established in this city, and liberally patronized.
The study of this and the kindred arts of Design not only re- fines and cultivates the taste, but is every year growing more necessary for the useful purposes to which it can be turned. The school should be supplied to some extent with models of art and specimens of ancient and modern skill. Music too should be more extensively cultivated.
The High School should from some source be provided with the means and instruments of a larger culture. It greatly needs more books of reference, encyclopedias, histories, works on Archæology and the Fine Arts, maps and models. No question of History Science, Philology or Taste should be asked in the school, which there should not be the means of answering. It would be well also could there be connected with the school collections of Botan- ical and Mineralogical specimens. It may not be right to raise

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
by taxation the means of endowing our High School with these things. Certainly it is not to be expected in these times of pecuni- ary embarrassment. A few years ago a gentleman of wealth in our city gave to this school a very valuable philosophical apparatus, not inferior to that of many of our colleges, and it may be others can be found to emulate his example.
Most certain it is that our High School where so many complete their education should be furnished with the means of a larger and broader culture. Standing as it does at the head of our noble sys- tem of Free Schools it should have an equipment worthy of its high position, one which shall fitly express our sense of the dignity and value of a liberal no less than a free education.
Respectfully submitted by the Committee.
