The year past has been a prosperous one with the library, both in its use by the people and in its material growth.
136 new books have been added for circulation. About 50 of these were given by friends of the library.
The proceeds of an entertainment given in the town hall for the benefit of the library, furnished about 50 volumes more.
2,492 books have been loaned during the year, 196 people being represented in this distribution.
The books have been systematically arranged in a new catalogue, which is a great convenience, the first printed being merely a list in order of purchase.
The Trustees wish to return hearty thanks to Hon. Elihu B. Hayes and Mrs. Anna Cabot Lodge for the books given by them ; also to Miss Lydia A. Very, Mrs. Henry F. Bond, Mrs. M. A. Sargent, Mrs. Wm. H. Stevens, J. K. Bancroft, W. J. Monroe, Harry Monroe and B. T. Brown for magazines and books contributed.

SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL REPORT.
We desire to express our gratification at the cordial manner in which our efforts for the improvement of the schools have been seconded by the people of this town. Exceptions have been met with, of course, but those exceptions have been so presented, in con- trast to our general experience, as to exhibit their authors in so nar- row minded and selfish a light as to make us more keenly appre- ciate the public spirit and good will of the majority.
The Centre school was taught during the spring term by Miss Theresa McCarthy as principal and Miss Mary W. Flannagan as assistant. The Committee decided to divide the school so that the primary department might have a comfortable room. For many reasons it would be better to have the schools in one, with an assist -. ant, but there are no accommodations for such a school, conse- quently we were obliged to divide it.
The old Town Hall has been painted inside and whitened, and at a comparatively small expense makes a very pleasant school room.
Many of the books have been changed this year so that our pupils might use the same books that the corresponding classes use in Wakefield.
The Grammar school has been supplied with a new set of maps, which was very much needed.
Miss McCarthy and Miss Flannagan have done faithful, conscien- tious work, and it is only to be regretted that more of the parents do not visit our schools and thereby encourage and strengthen both teachers and pupils.
The South Grammar school has been particularly unfortunate. the past year. Miss J. A. Griffin, who had taught this school for over a
20

-
year, resigned during the summer vacation. Miss Howland took charge of the school at the opening of the school in September, and taught until the Thanksgiving recess, when it was thought advisable to make a change. Miss Wilson, of New Hampshire, then taught the school for one week, when she was obliged to resign on account of ill health. The school was then closed for one week, when we re- engaged Miss Griffin, who now has charge of the school.
No school can make good progress when the teachers are con- stantly changing. If this school has not done as well as we desired, it has done as well as could be expected, considering all the circum- stances.
The South Primary school has made good progress the past year. At the close of the spring term Miss Sidmore, who has taught this school one year, resigned. We were very fortunate in securing Miss H. M. Alden to take her place. Miss Alden has had charge of the school since the opening of the fall term in September, and is the right teacher in the right place. She is interested in her work and keeps fully up with the times. The children are fond of her and do- ing well in their studies.
Many of the books in these schools have also been changed. The old books were very badly worn and soiled and we decided to replace them with others new and different, and we are pleased at the result.
An act of the legislature, passed in 1894, provides that any town in which a High school is not maintained shall pay the tuition of any of its qualified children who may attend the High school of another town or city.
During the past year the town of Wakefield increased the rate of tuition in the High school from twenty-six dollars to forty dollars per year. We shall also be obliged to pay the town of Peabody at the same rate. There are now four children from this town attending in Peabody and three in Wakefield, and there are quite a number who intend entering in September.
As anticipated, the expenditure for books, maps, repairing the old town hall and purchase of new stove for same, has been quite large, but the schools are now all of them well supplied with books, which will last some time, and if the inside of the old town hall goes with- out painting in the future as long as it has in the past, this generation will not be called upon to renew it.
