By means of this table a comparison of the schools can readily be made, and a large number of facts be learned.
It is a matter for rejoicing that so few under 5 years of age, and so many over 15, attended school.
Under 5, probably under 6, is too early an age for children to be confined to a school room. While on the other hand the nearer maturity one arrives, the more safely can he bear the labor of study. Moreover it's never too late to learn.
The average attendance in three schools was about the same,-viz. the South, the Centre Grammar and the Centre Primary.
week.

The per cent. attendance for the year was in the following order and excellence :- Centre Grammar 87, Centre Primary 86 2-3, North 76 2-3, South 74 2-3.
The winter term was longer than intended, on ac- count of the early occurrence of Thanksgiving.

It will be observed that, only two of these six teachers had taught in town when the year opened, viz. Miss Lawlor and Miss Smith, and only two re- tained their position through the year, viz. Miss Law- lor and Miss Andrews. The wages of teachers have been the same in the North and Centre Primary, and in the Centre Grammar and South, save that Miss Smith had an extra half dollar per week in the spring term, and a substitute was employed one week for $10 00 in the same school.
Miss Morgan had taught before she entered the North School. Her success in this school was good. She secured a better attendance and persistently plied her pupils in the elementary studies. Had she secured
7
greater enthusiasm in the school she would doubtless have felt greater encouragement to continue her labors there. She left for a position in a New Hampshire school at the close of the Fall term.
Miss Beckett succeeded Miss Morgan. She has shown herself a teacher worthy of high commenda- tion. Under her instruction and discipline the school has made rapid improvement, and she seems to be the right teacher in the right place.
Miss Lawlor is the senior teacher in town. She has successfully completed three years of consecutive service. Her school is always a pleasant place to vis- it, because of the evident happiness and improvement of the pupils, and the interest and untiring exertions of the teacher. Children are all glad to go there, and parents feel safe in committing them to the care of such a teacher.
Miss Andrews had taught in Peabody, before enter- ing the Centre Grammar School. She came to us highly recommended, and succeeded well in the Spring and Fall terms. The examination at the close of the Fall term showed good progress, and good discipline, and great satisfaction was expressed at the evident good condition of the school. But the Winter term was not wholly successful. The advanced classes in Mathematics and in Grammar were neglected, some of them not being called for recitation for days or weeks. When complaint reached the committee, a plan was sug- gested to the teacher, which she promised, but failed to carry out, as appeared at the close of the school.
The teacher was reported sick on the morning of the examination, and not likely to recover in time for
8
any examination of the school. The committee, there- fore, examined the school at the time regularly ap- pointed. Undoubtedly the school did not appear as well as it would under Miss Andrews's direction. The scholars however showed commendable familiarity with the small ground they had been over in the term. Miss Andrews excels in teaching History and Geog- raphy, and her government is good.
Miss Smith is well known as having taught suc- cessfully in the South School the preceding year. She left her position, greatly to the regret of the com- mittee and people, at the close of the spring term.
Miss George had had considerable experience as a teacher before engaging here. Her methods of in- struction are excellent. Your committee have admired the clearness of her explanations and her untiring per- sistency in drilling her pupils upon the elements. She took great pains with her classes in reading. The Fall term was generally successful, and so was the winter. There was however a growing spirit of disor- der, which injured the school, and almost spoiled it at one time. It is hoped that such an occurrence will suffice for a long time to come.
The wages of our teachers ought to be increased, and must be, if we would secure such as the interests of education among us demand.
IV. SCHOOL HOUSES.
The North School House has been painted, and a large share of the expense for repairs has been made upon it. It is now in good condition.
9
The Grammar School House at the Centre, has al- so been painted, and is in good repair. It is unfortu- nate that it was not built large enough for two schools. The Primary School has continued to occupy a room partitioned from the Town Hall. It is very comforta- ble, and will answer the purpose well, if the town can spare it. The South School House, though partially repaired a few years ago, is not so good as we could wish. As soon as the town can spare the funds it will be well to build a new school house there.
In the last report the committee expressed the de- termination to put into the South School House a new set of improved outline maps. The publishers of Cor- nell's geographies presented the town two sets of their wall maps. One of these was therefore put into that house, instead of those intended. This will explain the non-fulfilment of the whole suggestion in last year's Report.
The Massachusetts School Reports for last year have not yet been distributed. This will prevent a comparison of our schools with other schools in the County and State.
VI.
Before closing this Report your committee wish to make a few suggestions respecting our school inter- ests.
1st. All the branches of learning taught in our schools are important for the education of our schol- ars.
Indeed we wish that still further opportunities could be granted in town so that those who desire to pursue higher branches might be accommodated in our
10
schools. Perhaps many more would also be induced to continue their education, who cannot well afford the expense, or feel inadequate to the undertaking of going elsewhere. It has been the intention of the committee to furnish teachers qualified to give instruc- tion in all ordinary branches. In some of our schools Algebra and Geometry have been studied, and Draw- ing has received considerable attention. All branches called for except the languages have been taught.
But there are many who seem not to esteem all the ordinary branches of a common school course. Every one admits that reading, spelling, and arithmetic, are important; but some do not appear to appreciate His- tory, Grammar, Geography, and the higher Mathemat- ics, and would think it of no consequence that they should study Physiology, Philosophy, etc. Saying nothing with respect to the latter, but confining our attention to the ordinary branches of common schools, we would remark the importance of a knowledge of history to every American citizen. Our nation has a history of which its citizens may well be proud, and he who studies it will not only gain for his direction the experience of the past, but will love his native land and probably become a loyal and useful citizen. Its facts also broaden and strengthen the mind, and fur- nish material for thought and incentives for action.
Geography also greatly expands the field of one's vision, and gives him a knowledge of things beyond his own immediate neighborhood. In its department of Mathematical Description and Physical Geography, there is a large and ever interesting fund of know- ledge, which cannot fail to interest and benefit the student. It is moreover indispensable to him who
11
would pursue the branches of Natural Science, or gain an intelligent idea of what is being done in these days, when railroads, steamboats, and telegraphs, are bring- ing the ends of the earth together, and filling our pub- lications with frequent reports from all nations.
But probably Grammar is neglected in our schools, especially by the boys, more than any other branch of study. And yet it is the branch which lies at the foun- dation of all successful study in other branches. Grammar is the study of language, and language is the instrument of all thought and all study. If one fails to understand or comprehend the meaning of lan- guage, he fails in the very first requisite for learning. The definitions, the explanations, the principles of ev- ry branch, he will fail to understand. He will be like one looking through a fog, and seeing all things in a haze; while a good understanding of language would bring things out of the fog and clear them from hazy indistinctness. Besides this an understanding of the principles of Grammar sufficient to correct one's own speech and writing is important for practical life. How many young men have failed of good positions in the employ of business men because of their un- couth ungrammatical speech, or the ungrammatical language of the letter by which they have made appli- cation for the position. They have doubtless thought that other causes have been at work, but this was the real cause. Let each of our scholars reflect upon the text "Thy speech bewrayeth thee."
The pleasure of reading is also greatly enhanced by grammatical knowledge and discipline. Literature, especially the literature of our own noble language, presents a wide and noble range for reading. He is
12
almost inexcusable in our day, who does not read some of the masters in our literature, and most certainly he deprives himself of a great amount of pleasure. But how shall he read understandingly and pleasantly, who fails to comprehend the language of the writer? His deficiency here, may account for his inability to enjoy what furnishes such delight to others.
Where it is possible, every scholar should pursue all the common school branches in their order.
2nd. Teachers may always be learners in the busi- ness of teaching.
There are few occupations in which one needs to be constantly studying methods of procedure so much as in teaching. Two persons may enter their school rooms punctually, and work equally hard while there, and yet one shall accomplish much and the other little. The reason is that the former gives herself to her oc- cupation not only in the school room, but also at suita- ble times outside of it, while the other does not; the former refreshes her memory of the matter to be taught that day, the other does not; the former con- siders how she may best explain and illustrate the sub- ject, the other does not; the former prepares herself for any questions that may be asked, and is ready on every point of the lessons, the other is neglectful; the former rigidly corrects her own language and does not allow an ungrammatical or coarse expression to fall from her lips, the other is careless; the former is lady- like in her deportment and careful to maintain the strictest integrity before her pupils, and is loved and trusted, the other attempts deceptions and uses arts, and loses all respect; the former is a good teacher, the other is not.
13
These are some of the causes of success or of fail- ure. Every teacher ought to make herself so conver- sant with the lessons for the day, that she can hear the. recitations without the book. She may not ask all the questions that are in the book; she may and ought to ask many that are not in it. Every teacher should so conduct her recitations as to make the scholars think; for themselves, and no teacher should pass a lesson till its principles are understood. She should be constant- ly giving information on the various subjects of study. In fine she should give herself to teaching. We have room only for these few suggestions in this place. We trust they may be thoughtfully considered by the teachers in our schools.
3d. At the last Town Meeting the chairman of the committee, in view of some dissatisfaction with respect to the place at which certain scholars should attend school, said substantially that he should let the matter settle itself. It is to be hoped that it has settled. He has neither said yes nor no, to applicants, but has giv- en his advice in some instances. The result seems to be that all residing on the Perkins Hill choose to come to the Centre. No others have come to these schools who were not in the original Centre District, save the son of Mr. McNeil, who for some terms had been al- lowed to come on account of the convenience of bring- ing him. It is now supposed that he is sufficiently large to accompany those residing in the same neigh- borhood with himself. It is thought that the choice which seems now to have been made will be accepted as a settlement of the question where scholars shall at- tend school.

Your committee would solicit the continued inter- est of the people in the schools. This Report is re- spectfully submitted.
