SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
The schools of this town are doing fairly well.
The Centre school, with Miss Theresa M. McCarthy as princi- pal and Miss Minnie Flannigan as assistant, is in good hands, and those teachers are doing good work. Miss McCarthy has taught this school now for two years, and we consider her a very supe- rior teacher. This is Miss Flannigan's second term of service in this school, and her present work is an improvement even upon her previous work, of which your former committees have spoken very highly.
The Centre school house is very poorly arranged for its present purpose. The room used for a recitation room for the primary scholars is a small, close, ill-ventilated room, and not at all suit- able for such use. The only remedy we can suggest is to divide the school, and utilize the old Town Hall for a schoolroom. It has been used for this purpose before, and at a small expense it could be arranged so as to make a very comfortable schoolroom.
The Centre school house needs painting, and we recommend that it be done the present year.
The South Grammar School in the hands of Miss Juliet A. Griffin who formerly taught the Centre Primary School, is doing well. She took the school at the beginning of the spring term, as Miss Newman who has taught there for two terms, was obliged to resign on account of ill health, Miss Newman was a good teacher, and we were sorry to lose her.
The South Primary School was unfortunate in losing the ser- vices of Miss Quinn, who resigned during the summer vacation. She had taught this school for over two years, and had endeared herself to both scholars and parents.
20
SCHOOL REPORT.
Miss S. M. Sidmon of Danvers was selected to take her place. Miss Sidmon came to this school fresh from the Salem Normal School, of which she is a graduate, and has taken hold of her work with a will and a determination to succeed in this her chosen work, and with increased experience will be a valuable teacher.
We recommend that if possible, this town unite with some other towns in the employment of a school superintendent. The larger part of the expense of such a union is paid by the State, and the amount that it would cost this town will be quite small. Eighty-five per cent. of the school children of this State are're- ceiving the benefit of skilled supervision. Are not the children in Lynnfield entitled to this privilege and benefit?
The time for questioning its benefit has gone by, and perhaps we are wasting your time in calling your attention to a few of them.
" This plan enables towns of low valuation and small popula- tion to obtain the skilled superintendence possessed by the more wealthy towns and cities."
" The Superintendent is a trained educator, and devotes all of his time and talents to the good of the schools."
" Teachers are directed in their work, courses of study are ar- ranged, and the scholars are better classified."
Schools are visited regularly, and progress noted.
Mr. McDonald, agent of the State Board of Education, is try- ing to arrange a district from the towns in this vicinity in which this town will be included. We hope that he will succeed in so doing, and that this town will vote to join such a district.
We have eleven scholars attending the High schools of Wake- field and Peabody at the expense of the town. It is hoped that these scholars will make the most of this advantage and privilege, and that in years to come, they will be not only a credit to them- selves, but to the town which has so liberally contributed toward their education.
We present herewith a list showing the amount paid by a num- ber of other towns for the support of their schools. In making up this list from the last published report of the State Board of Education, we have selected as nearly as possible towns of as near the population and valuation of Lynnfield as it was possible.

Of the 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts, 329 of them ap- propriated a larger percentage of their valuation for school pur- poses than Lynnfield, and twenty appropriated a smaller percent- age. Among those twenty towns are Nahant, Beverly, Man- chester and Brookline. Of the thirty-five towns and cities in Essex County, two towns appropriated a smaller percentage of their valuation for schools, and thirty-two of them a larger per- centage.
You can draw your own conclusion as to whether your schools have been conducted economically or extravagantly.
The schools are sadly in need of maps and charts, and many of the books have been in use for a long time, and are badly worn, and it will be necessary to replace many of them during the com- ing year.
There is one law which we have been very negligent in enforc- ing, which is, " The School Committee shall not allow a child, who has not been duly vaccinated, to be admitted to or connected with the public schools."
We trust you will give this matter the attention it deserves.
For the following year we suggest the following appropriation :
For tuition,
$300 00
For incidental school expenses, .
300 00
For schools,
1,200 00
All of which is respectfully submitted.
