SCHOOL, REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
To the Citizens of Lynnfield :- The schools of this town have been successful in most of the conditions required to make good and profitable schools. The Wakefield course of study has been adopted and the schools graded as far as practicable, so as to conform to that course. The action of the towm in appropriating money to pay the tuition of scholars who wish to attend the High Schools in the adjoining towns, is, in the view of the Committee, a commendable step in the right direction, and ought to be continued. The stimu- lating effect of preparing for the High School is quite noticeable even when our scholars do not intend to take that course. Four of the Lynnfield scholars are attending the High School at Wakefield, and one at Peabody. The Secretary of the State Board of Education says he is glad to hear such things from towns too small to maintain a High School of their own.
When we look at results and compare the scholars in our schools with those in other towns where the schools are well graded, we find the comparison favorable to Lynnfield schools, and the average stand- ing and attainments of our scholars are good. Those who entered the High School at Wakefield are well marked. While we say this, we do not wish to convey the idea that the condition of our schools is all we could wish. Yet we do believe in life in the country for children and youth, and that an education is best begun in the schools of the country towns. The indisputable evidence of this statement is that many of the highest stations of trust, honor and emolument are held by those who began life in the country towns and schools.

SCHOOL REPORT.
The Centre School has continued under the instruction of Miss Ednah P. Hale, assisted by Miss Minnie Flannigan. Miss Hale had a long experience in teaching, and when she took charge of this school an immediate change for the better was noticeable The energy and efficiency of her management and teaching has not abated during the year. She was not satisfied with secular instruc- tion only, but taught her scholars by precept and example the highest and best things of life. We are justified in saying that the Centre School has never had a better teacher ; all who knew her were sorry to have her resign at the close of the year. Miss Flannigan has also been very successful as an assistant, and has kept her classes up to a high degree of excellence in their studies and deportment and has' been faithful in the performance of all her duties.
The South Grammar School had been in successful charge of Miss L. J. Peaslee for more than two years when she resigned in the mid- dle of the fall term to take a school in Everett, very much to the regret of parents, scholars and Committee. Miss Peaslee gave the best of services to this school while it was in her charge, and it was never in better condition than when she left it. Her good example and instruction in morals was an important part of her work.
Miss Lucy N. Roby was engaged as a substitute for a week, and was entirely successful in her school work. During the week Miss Susan L. Washburn, who had high recommendations, was engaged. She fully sustained her reputation and gave entire satisfaction in her services.
The South Primary school has been in the care of Mrs. H. B. Berry for nearly three years, and your Committee were satisfied that her efforts as heretofore have been untiring for the advancement of her school. By the request of the Committee Mrs. Berry procured some Kindergarten work, which seemed to interest the scholars and promote the welfare of the school.
On Fast Day the flag of our country was raised at the South school house The exercises, before a large audience, were in the Gram- mar school room. The handsome flag was the gift of Hon. Asa T. Newhall, Mayor of Lynn, who was a member of this school in former

years, and who made the formal presentation. After interesting exercises by the school, eloquent speeches were made by Judges Solon Bancroft of Reading, E. Augustus Upton of Wakefield, Hon. Asa 'T. Newhall, and Rev. Harry L. Brickett. Mr. Oscar I. Stowell of the School Committee presided.
A flag raising for the Centre school took place on Memorial Day in the church, a detachment of the Grand Army, Post 12, being present. After appropriate exercises by the pupils of the school, Rev. H. L. Brickett presented the flag in behalf of the citizens, and was accepted for the school by Mr. E. Parsons. Congratulatory remarks were then made by Deacon G. E. Herrick of the School Committee, after which a collation, given by the ladies, was served in the Town Hall.
