IV. COMPARATIVE POSITION OF THE TOWN.
It is well to know how we stand in comparison with other towns in respect of educational facilities, and the improvement that is made of them. The following statistics, derived from the report of the Board of Education for 1868, are therefore presented. In the amount of money appropriated to each scholar between five and fifteen, the town stood in the state, the 101st; in the county, the 12th. In percentage of taxable property appropriated to the support of public schools, the town stood in the state, the 309th; in the county, the 32d.
In the average attendance of its scholars, the town stood in the state the 69th ; in the county, the 6th.
5
From this we see that the scholars made commenda- ble use of the means afforded them, though their rela- tive position, in the state and county, was not as good as the previous year. We see also, that in proportion to the wealth of the town, it stood almost the lowest both in the state and in the county, in the relative amount of its appropriation. ' Were there any com- plaint in town on the score of school taxation, this ex- hibit would show, that it was wholly unreasonable. Since that time, the town has cheerfully appropriated a much larger sum, and doubtless the report of the year 1870, will show our relative position much higher.
When scholars make so good use of the money ap- propriated for their instruction, the town may feel en- couraged to deal liberally with them.

Miss Swinnerton had had but little experience as a
6
teacher when she undertook the North School. She soon showed, however, that she is fully competent to teach. She is careful in drilling her scholars in the rudiments, and spared no pains to make her school a success. If there has been any failure in that school, it has resulted rather from inattendance and outward influence, than from any want of effort on the part of the teacher.
Miss Lawlor is well known as a successful teacher in the mixed school in the Centre. When the school was divided at the beginning of this year, she chose, on account of her health, to teach the primary depart- ment. Here she has succeeded to the full satisfaction of the Committee.
Mrs. Peabody taught the Grammar School through the Spring term. Much to the regret of the Com- mittee, she resigned her position at the close of that term. She aroused an enthusiasm among her scholars seldom seen in our schools.
Miss Delano succeeded Mrs. Peabody in the Gram- mar School. She had had considerable experience as a teacher, when she came to this position. Her meth- ods of instruction and of securing order, are excellent. She has brought the power of music. to her aid to a considerable degree in her school.
Miss Smith has taught through the year in the South School. Evidently the school room is not a strange place to her. She has gained the good will of her scholars, the confidence of the people, and the approval of the Committee.

SOUTH.
A comparison of the various schools can readily be made by means of this. table. It will be seen that only one scholar under five has attended at any time in the year. It is hoped that none under that age will attend. Every child needs the first five years at least, to acquire physical development sufficient to attend school; and its mind is sufficiently engaged in learn- ing the names of objects about it, and in acquiring such knowledge as its every day life presents aside from books.
8
The per cent. of attendance has been very good in most of the schools every term. When it falls below seventy-five per cent. it is bad. The low per cent. is found this year in the same school as in previous years, and doubtless this bad attendance upon school, ac- counts for much of the want of success in that school. Let parents think of these things.
On account of the prevalence of scarlet fever in the centre and north parts of the town in the winter, the schools at the centre were suspended three weeks, and the north school closed at the end of the ninth week. It is intended that the terms of the next year shall be lengthened in the North school, so that they shall compensate for this loss. The small number reported in the Centre primary school, resulted from the same cause.
In accordance with a suggestion in the last report, the committee divided the Centre school, establishing a grammar and a primary school. The grammar school has occupied the school house. As there was no proper room for the primary school in the school house, a room was partitioned off from the Town Hall for its use. School furniture was put into this room, and the school has been well. accommodated.
In this manner, the scholars in the Centre have had good advantages, and they have well improved them. Never have your committee seen so good advance- ment in this school as during the past year.
The South school has done nobly under the instruc- tion of Miss Smith. As a reward for the good use of the means there enjoyed, the school committee intend
9
to furnish the school house with a set of wall maps, of the latest and best production.
This report is, at this point, brought to a close by sudden and dreadful sickness in the family of the Chairman of the Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
M. B. BOARDMAN, GEO. L. HAWKES, JEREMIAH CONEY.
School Committee.
