We will here give a synopsis of each School separately.
In the North West School there has been no change of teachers. Mr. H. A. DEARBORN was retained in charge of the Grammar department to the satisfaction of your Committee. His course of instruction has resulted in producing some fine scholars in the higher branches, which are thor- oughly taught.
Miss M. C. HILL continues her laborious task in the Primary Depart- ment. She is well adapted to her work both by patience and sympathy with her pupils, and deserves the sympathy of the parents. Miss F. R. FESSENDEN was retained as an assistant.
The Grammar Department of the Centre School has had to pass through the ordeal of two new teachers, which is generally experimental. How- ever good a teacher may be, it takes time for him to become acquainted with his scholars, and they with him, so that mutual confidence and respect will exist between them. Mr. E. P. BATES was first elected. He continu- ed in charge of the school only about six months, discharging his duties very satisfactorily, when he resigned, to take charge of the Academy. The vacancy occurring near the close of a term, was promptly filled by the election of Mr. ALBERT PALMER, who proves to be an able and efficient teacher, energetic in his efforts to elevate the character of the school. - Here we have also some fine specimens of scholarship. The higher bran- ches, which properly belong to a High School, are here thoroughly taught. As an assistant, Miss HUNT was retained.
In the Primary Department, Miss C. C. TURNER still continues her laborious, yet delightful task in teaching "the young idea how to shoot " with an accuracy that hardly fails of the mark. Owing to the large num- ber of children of tender age in this school, an assistant was deemed necessary, and Miss E. F. BROWN was appointed, with satisfactory results The school is well taught, and prosperous.
Miss L. M. Hovr has continued in charge of the South East School. It is characterized by those qualities so essential to a well-taught school,

viz : promptness, method, and that whatever is taught is well taught. Some children were permitted to remain here, that more properly belonged to the Grammar School-not to their disadvantage, however. They will be removed next term.
Mr. ARTHUR P. SMITH was elected to take charge of the South Gram- mar School. He has proved himself to be a faithful teacher, and has dis- charged his duties to the satisfaction of the Committee and to the District.
Miss E. W. DOUGLASS was retained in the Primary School ; with more age and experience, she may make a good teacher.
As our Schools have just passed in review, it may be well to state, in connection, that we find, as a general thing, the girls are in advance of the boys. This will not apply to all the boys, for there are some good scholars among the latter. But taken as a whole, those that have had equal advan- tages of attending school during the year, the boys, in point of attainments and mental improvement, are too far in the rear of the girls - whatever may be the cause or causes of this, we will not stop here to inquire, but we do say it ought not so to be. We call upon parents to see that the fol lowing requirements are complied with on their part :
1st. All truancy is strictly forbidden, and will not be tolerated.
2d. All children are required to go to and from school in a quiet, orderly manner, without stopping at any store, or shop, except by permis- sion of teachers, parents or others having proper authority.
3d. Promptness at the hour of opening school required -all tardiness to be avoided as much as possible.
4th. Cleanliness and order in and about the school-house, out-build- ings, etc., to be maintained - all unnecessary noise about the same, also forbidden.
These regulations more particularly apply to the outside influence, and yet are essential to the order and government of the school inside, where correct deportment will ever be maintained.
In consequence of the division of the town, a portion of what was the South District, will naturally become connected with the Centre School, bringing with it some six or eight scholars. These, with what will be taken from the Primary Schools, will increase the Grammar School beyond its capacity for good accommodations-even in the main room. The Recitation rooms connected with both divisions of this school, are unfit for that pur - pose. Being originally made for clothes rooms merely, they are every way unsuitable for the purposes for which they have been used. Your Commit- tee are decided in their opinion, that better rooms should be provided.

REPORT OF THE
We cannot pass this subject of School accommodations without a few suggestions in relation to it ; and in doing so, we concur in the opinion of our predecessors, that the town should adopt some plan of grading our schools. There never has been, or ever will be, a time when this could have been or can be done so well as at the present time. Without going into the discussion of the subject here, we hesitate not to say that we can place our schools on no better basis, or adopt no better plan than this grad- ing system. By this system, your children, beginning with your smallest primary, pass from one department to another, each giving its appropriate course of training, and completing their school education, as most of them will at the highest department. Systematizing your common schools upon this plan, we think our educational advantages in them, and at the Academy, for those who prefer not to educate their children at a public school, must satisfy the reasonable demands of all our citizens as furnishing the means of educating your children within your own territorial limits.

We believe the teachers, generally, have labored industriously in their various departments to elevate the condition and character of our schools. For this. noble. object, physical, mental and moral energy has been brought to bear upon them. These are the primary elements of a well-regulated

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
school-and it is only by the inculcation of these we can expect to attain. those noble results contemplated by the founders of our system of Com- mon Schools. These schools stand with open doors, inviting all, and for -- bidding none, to enter and share alike its equal advantages. All meet. here on common ground. Here is no royal road to learning-no artificial distinction to aid the one, or retard the other. If intellectual distinction. and manly character be the object of emulation, it is alike to be obtained. by hard study and good conduct. Here, with few exceptions, our sons and. daughters are to be educated. They are here to be taught the elementary. principles of the language they are to speak, and to receive that course of. educational training that is to form the basis of their future investigations-, in pursuit of knowledge. And from these common schools are they to. graduate and go forth into the world to take the places of their fathers. and their mothers, and act their part in the grand drama of human life .- Soon will they be called upon to act for us and their succeeding genera -. tion-and the responsibility of that action rests mainly upon us- we can- not shake it off if we would, and we should not if we could.
Let the whole subject be met, and that right manfully. Our future. happiness as well as theirs is involved in our action. Whatever else may. receive the pruning knife of retrenchment and financial reform, may these. glorious institutions be spared. May we throw around them rather, every influence, every improvement, that will add convenience, character and dig: nity to these humble educational nurseries.
Educated every child must and will be. The process is going on every. day- in the home, in the street, in the school-in fact, every where, im- pressions are continually operating on the mind and heart, influencing in the right or wrong direction-whether we heed them or not they are doing their work-results are certain, if not for weal, they are for woe.
The course to be pursued by your Committee is, to institute a good, efficient, moral, mental, and, as far as can be, physical training ; and no system of education can be complete without embracing these. A sound mind, a noble and generous heart in a sound body, are to be taken as the ยท type of a good education. The whole man must be dignified, and ennobled ... The school must be a place to form the character, and prepare our chil -- dren for future usefulness in the various positions in which they will soon ! be called to act.
We have thus endeavored to present to you some of our ideas of the .: results of an education we wish to be obtained at our schools. And for. this purpose, we are willing to labor in bringing about a state of things that will produce these all-important. results .. And with this. end in view, we .;

shall, from time to time, make such alterations and regulations both in doors and out, and retaining only such teachers as the good of the schools may require.
Connected with every school, there is an outside and an inside influ- ence-united in the right direction, it forms a strong bond of union, which should encircle every school, and will become an element of usefulness and success, while no parent connected with the school can divert his influ- ence to an opposite direction without serious injury not only to his own children, but to many others. Let every parent see to it, then, as they desire the welfare of their children, and the prosperity of the school, that they throw no obstacles, or place any hindrances in the way, but that they remove every thing which has a tendency to disturb the harmony that should exist between all concerned in the prosperity of our schools.
We call on you, then, parents and friends, to aid and assist us. It is for the interest of your children as well as ours. The welfare of your posterity is concerned as well as ours, and if you desire to see your chil- dren growing up around you, nourished and watered by these purified fountains, like plants beside some perennial spring, expanding day by day, and developing that dignity of character, those sterling principles of virtue, that highly cultivated mind, that manly or womanly form which will prove a blessing to yourselves, to the community in which they live, and to our common country, which demands such to sustain and perpetuate the principles of her institutions - we say, if you desire all these, give your aid - lend your influence in sustaining and perfecting our Common Schools.
