The Russell Intermediate, it is enough to say, remains under the super- vision of Miss TURNER. Having won the confidence and respect of Committee and parents, she has continued to maintain the position she has always occupied as a faithful, energetic and successful teacher. Her pupils appreciating her worth, and entering heartily into her plans, have shown their determination to render themselves worthy of her care, and to maintain the good reputation which for some years past has belonged to this School. Progression without crowding, thoroughness without pe- dantry, and order without tyranny, have marked, and made this School worthy of the highest approbation of every honest lover of true learning.
The Cutter Intermediate School has been another year under the care of Miss ELIZA A. SIMMONS, and when we say that, we have sufficiently indicated the condition of the School. As a friend and teacher, Miss
50
REPORT OF THE
SIMMONS has succeeded finely in winning the affection and interest of her pupils, and all true friends of education, may feel gratified with the results obtained. The new and more convenient room, too, has had its good influence, and the Town may well feel satisfied to witness how good the effect has been to provide convenient and pleasant rooms for children to pursue their studies in. The increased order and neatness alone, repay in some good measure, the expense incurred, and when we add to these the greater happiness aud interest of the scholars, we have said all that is needful to convince every one of the judiciousness of the change made.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
The East Primary School, which has remained in the care of Miss L. M. CROSBY, has made great improvement both in behaviour and study, during the past year. Miss CROSBY brings to her task a mind and heart well fitted for the duties of hier position, and, judging from the success with which she has met, we should suppose that the children fully appre- ciated her good qualities, and loved hier method of government. We hope she may find in the sympathy and assistance of parents, all the en- couragement she deserves, and which we are desirous she should receive.
Russell Primary. Here, too, as in the Intermediate School of this District, the Committee consider themselves happy in retaining the ser- vices of a teacher so faithful to the interests of the School, and so capable to carry forward the introductory work of Education to successful issue. Thoughi during some three months, Miss CUTTER was obliged to absent herself from school, because of sickness, yet the year has been marked by good results, and the class about to be transferred to the Intermediate De- partment, is every way prepared to understand and enjoy the new studies upon which they are to enter. The happy faces of the children testify to the affection with which they regard their teacher, and the progress they have made bears witness to her fidelity in the performance of her duty.
The Cutter Primary has had the benefit of Miss LIZZIE SCHOULER'S instruction during the year just past, and has accomplished all that could be expected of it. It is always full, and during the year the Committee has had to push forward a class, to accommodate the increased demand for room, and have also added to the original number of seats.
The attendance here has been good, and the work done, every way satis- factory, and it is withi regret that the Committee part with one so suitable
51

and efficient as a teacher of children, as Miss SCHOULER, but the removal of her family to another State, renders it impossible for us to retain her. We trust she may meet with the success her abilities deserve.
Thus excellent in condition and management are our Schools. There are, however, one or two serious drawbacks upon the usefulness of the Schools, which the Committee think ought to be remedied. There are upon our School Registers too many marks for absences which seem to us unnecessary. Of course, absence from sickness is unavoidable, and cannot be condemned ; but absence from other than absolutely necessary causes, is not only injurious to the Schools, but is a wrong to the Town. Among the duties which parents owe as citizens, there are none more weighty than such as pertain to the right use of Town privileges. It is due to the Town that such progress should be made as it affords oppor- tunities for, and those who do not make full use of such privileges, are not doing what they ought for the good of the Town. And among these privileges none are more important than those which are afforded in our Schools, and they who from any but unavoidable causes, prevent these educational privileges from being enjoyed to their fullest extent, are not as good citizens as they might be, and are placing stumbling blocks in the way of the progress and future well being of the Town. We hope that this error of frequent and unnecessary absence, may be immediately corrected.
There is another fault which we feel it our duty to take notice of: It is one which breaks in upon School discipline and study through the tar- diness of the scholar, at the beginning of the session, and his dismissal before the close thereof. There is nothing more injurious to a child, than the habit of being tardy, and there is nothing more antagonistic to the discipline of a School. It is a habit wholly unnecessary, as our Schools commence late enough to allow the laziest person time to get through with the duties preliminary to the day's work, and it is only be- cause of loitering and neglect, that any are tardy. We hope parents will aid us in the correction of this habit, by impressing upon the minds of their children the necessity of promptness and punctuality. The fault of early dismissal may be properly assigned to parents. They ought to re- fuse to grant an excuse from school duties before the regular hour of dis- missal occurs. Such permission is subversive to good order, and teaches a child a lesson in shirking which is totally uncalled for, as we all learn that soon enough after we have finished our school course. We hope that
52 .
REPORT OF THE
parents will carefully consider the ill effects arising from this plan of dis- missal before the close of school, and refuse to grant their children the excuse necessary.
The Committee take great pleasure in recording a Gift to the High School, from CYRUS H. CUTTER, Esq., of the sum of eighty-seven dol- lars, being the value of his share in the Cotting Academy. At his re- quest, this is to be expended in adding to the Chemical Apparatus of the School, and is a peculiarly acceptable gift. We hope there are others, ready to follow his example in contributing to the usefulness of this School. There is now within its walls, a Cabinet of Minerals belonging to Dr. J. C. HARRIS, which can be bought for a merely nominal sum, but which would add materially to the means of instruction of the School. There might be made also additions to the Philosophical Apparatus, with- out over-crowding the sphere of Philosophical Education. We hope nothing will be left undone to help in rendering this School deserving of its position as the crowning School of our system, and to render it worthy to be called a High School. And we commend this and all our Schools to the care and protection of our citizens.
For the Committee,
W. E. GIBBS, Secretary.

TRUANCY.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Middlesex, ss. At the Superior Court, begun and holden at Concord, within and for the County of Middlesex, on the first Monday of June, being the sixth day of said month, Anno Domini, 1864 :
The Inhabitants of the Town of West Cambridge present to this Court the following code of By-Laws, for adjudication and approval, to wit :
"BY-LAWS
Adopted by the Town of West Cambridge, at a legal meeting, held May 25th, 1863.
SCHOOLS. SECTION 1. If any scholar in either of the public Schools of this town shall be guilty of disorderly conduct in School, it shall be the duty of the teacher to report the case to the School Committee of the Town, and if, after having been admonished by one or more of said Com- mittee, such disorderly conduct shall be persisted in, said Committee may suspend any such disorderly scholar from attending any town School, until they shall receive satisfactory assurance of the future good conduct of the offender.
TRUANCY. SECT. 1. Every habitual truant, and every child be- tween the ages of seven and sixteen years, wandering about in the streets or public places of the town, having no lawful occupation or business, not attending School, and growing up in ignorance, shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by fine not exceeding five dollars for the first offence, and for each subsequent offence by fine not exceeding ten dollars. In case of a second or other subsequent conviction, the Court, or Justice having jurisdiction of the offence, instead of imposing fine as above provided, may order such offender to be committed to any such Institution of Instruction, House of Reformation, or suitable situation, (if any there be,) provided for the purpose, under the provisions of the General Statutes, Chapter 42, Section 4, for such time, not exceeding two years, as such Justice or Court may determine.
56
BY-LAWS.
SECT. 2. In case of the truancy of any child between the ages of seven and sixteen years, the treatment of the first offence shall be left to the discretion of the teacher of the School of which such truant is a member, whose duty it shall be to confer thereupon with the parent or guardian of such scholar ; the second offence, by the same scholar, shall be reported by the teacher to the School Committee, and also to one of the Truant Offi- cers, whose duty it shall be to call upon the parent or guardian of such scholar, and endeavor to obtain satisfactory assurance against a repetition of the offence, and, if he shall fail to receive such assurances, he shall proceed as in case of a third truancy. In case of a third truaney, or any subsequent truancy by the same scholar, it shall be the duty of the teacher to give notice thereof to the School Committee, and to one of the Truant Officers, and thereupon such officer shall make complaint against such truant, as a habitual truant, before some Trial Justice of the county, or other Court having jurisdiction of such offenee. But if the parent or guardian of such truant, or of any person against whom complaint may have been made under the preceding seetion, shall, before judgment upon such complaint, give to the School Committee such assurances, or pledges, as shall be entirely satisfactory to them, that such offence shall not be re- peated, they may, in their discretion, dircet the proceedings on such com- plaint to be suspended and continued for a period not exceeding three months ; and if, within the time of such suspension, there be no repetition of the offence, they may direct such complaint to be discharged, and all further proceedings thereon to be forever stayed.
SECT. 3. The Town shall, in each year, at its annual meeting, eleet three officers, under the provisions of the General Statutes, Chapter 42, Section 5, who shall be known as Truant Officers, whose duty it shall be, in addition to their services prescribed by law and by the preceding see- tion, to aid the School Committee, by all lawful means, in suppressing truancy, and enforcing the laws in relation to the attendance of children at School."
The foregoing By-Laws, being seen and understood by the Court, are on this twenty-seventh day of June, instant, approved.
In testimony that the foregoing is a true copy of record, I hereto set my hand, and affix the seal of said Court, on this thirteenth day of July, Anno Domini, 1864.
