The Russell Sub-Grammar, which formerly existed in two divisions, is now a single School, under one teacher.


Mr. Bradford, an able teacher, has had charge of the Cutter Grammar, for the year, and has lately resigned.


Miss Eliza Simmons a most valuable and faithful teacher, who, for more than seven years taught in the Cutter Schools, has also resigned.


Miss L. A. Porter, of the Russell Sub-Grammar resigned at the close of the first term, after a year of most satisfactory service.


INTERMEDIATE AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS.


It has been difficult to pursue uniform grades in these Schools, but an approximation has been made. The large number of pupils in the Rus- sell District has rendered · necessary a sub-division, by which there is in that District an addition of two Schools. Still the counterpart of these may be found in the classes of the other Districts, where, for example, two classes appear in one School, which in the more populous District are

SCHOOL REPORT.


expanded into two Schools. This sub-division must be made from time to time, as the number of School children increases.


These Schools are in good condition in the three Districts.


There has been an unusual change of teachers during this year.


Sudden death deprived us of one of the best and most faithful of them, who at the hour of rest from her labor, entered upon the rest eternal.


Miss Gragg and Miss Maynard, her successor, have resigned from the . East Primary, and Miss French from the Cutter Primary. All these were teachers of marked merit.


The Committee have this year changed the terms, so that at present there are four instead of three terms, as formerly. This has been thought advisable, inasmuch as in the old Term of fifteen weeks, teachers and scholars became exhausted, often beyond the point of recuperation after such vacation as could be reasonably assigned. With the same number of School weeks arranged in shorter terms, it is believed that this trouble may be avoided. By this change, the Annual Examinations are postponed to the close of the Term which ends with April.


The Town has, from year to year, at the suggestion of the Committee, authorized the appointment of a Superintendent of Schools. This author- ity was granted as usual at the last annual meeting. The member of the present Committee, who had served as Superintendent for several years, did not care again to assume the duty, and no one occurring to the Com- mittee as the right person, to be selected for the office, it has not been filled. Still the Committee are clear that it is in every way important that the station should be occupied. The compensation hitherto has been small, amounting to the inadequate sum formerly paid to the Committee, and by them relinquishlied. The present Committee and undoubtedly future Committees would gladly waive all compensation, could they but secure the assistance of a competent Superintendent of Schools, It will be well for the Town to determine whether by some increase of the salary, some person may not be found fitted for the duty, whose services can be secured.


There is no system of School inspection in this Commonwealth which comes under the control of the State. The whole duty of inspection is


53


SCHOOL REPORT.


entrusted to local School Committees. These may be faithful or unfaith- ful. The chief trouble-as they are commonly made up mainly of men interested in education, indeed, but engaged in engrossing employments, is, that there can be no continued and daily oversight of Schools ; nor when difficulty arises can they always be ready to escape from other engage- ments and give attention to the wants of the Schools. They cannot for the same reason follow up changes and improvements in modes of instruc- tion, and watch the course of educational matters so as to secure for their Schools in season the benefit of the best current methods. As an ad- visory Board their services can be of great value, and with a Superin- tendent, the whole means of School inspection would be measurably com- plete. The subject of superintendence is submitted to the Town as wor- thy of consideration.


With confidence every year renewed and confirmed, that the Town will generously sustain its Public Schools, and promote their excellence, we commend to you again this great cause of Public Education.

We, the Subscribers, would here present a few facts, and offer a few suggestion in regard to Highways :


In the opening of Spring, owing to the numerous freshets, the highways, as well as townways, were very much washed, requir- ing a large amount of labor, and a large expenditure of money, to make them passable, and in many instances safe for public travel. Appleton Street, at its junction with Arlington Avenue, has been widened and graded, and the ascent made much easier, and a marked improvement in appearance at the connection with the Avenue. The street, leading from the Avenue past the resi- dence of Mrs. Mary E. Locke, called Mt. Vernon Street, (subject to a decision of the Town), has been raised and graded, making a much easier access to the lands on the hill. Adams and Mys- tic Streets have also been raised and graded to the Commissioners' line, in order to protect Adams Street from washing away, also, to meet the grade of Russell Park. All other streets where found necessary, have been graveled and put in good order. The Cul- vert through the Old Cemetery and across Pleasant Street has been taken up and enlarged, and a new one has been built from the centre depot across the avenue, the old one being insufficient to take the water. All other Culverts in town where found neces- sary have been taken up and enlarged, or cleaned out.


The Stone Crusher, ordered by the Town, has been located at the Gravel Pit, and is in successful operation, and in the opinion of your Board, will be a valuable piece of property for the Town.


It was deemed necessary to lay a permanant gutter from the descent above Water Street to the Centre Depot, and your Board after full deliberation and estimates, found that a Con-


13


EXPENDITURES.


crete could be laid down for less money than stone graving ; fur- thermore, it can be kept clean much easier and will be more du- rable. The Bridge on Medford Street over Mystic River was found to be very much decayed and unsafe for public travel, and a new one has been built, and one half the expense paid by the Town of Medford. The Bridge over Alewive Brook on Charles- town Street is very much decayed and will have to be rebuilt soon. Your Board met the Somerville Board early in the Spring, and after consultation concluded to delay the matter another year. We would recommend that when this bridge is rebuilt, it be widened, in order to make the street strait and of uniform width. Also, the grade be raised in order to lessen the ascent on either side.
