Gifts of books have been received from Mrs. Henry T. Bond, Mrs. Mary A. Parsons and magazines from the Lynnfield Centre Magazine Club, for all of which we extend hearty thanks and hope the coming year to see such contributions increased.
The Librarian reports 1,965 books loaned during the year, 204 persons being represented in the distribution. Of these books 1,555 were loaned in Lynnfield Centre and 410 in South Lynnfield.
The purchase of new books was delayed longer than usual, owing to the money from the Dog Tax not being received until the middle of February. This we know disappointed many of our readers, but

as the list of books recently added to our circulation is unusually good we think all will feel repaid for waiting.
The benefits of a Free Public Library are, no doubt, too well understood by people living so near such a literary centre as Boston, Massachusetts, to be dwelt upon at any length in this report. But we hope that those who have enjoyed its privileges in the past will endeavor to encourage an interest in the movement until we have the names of all our townspeople registered as constant patrons of the Lynnfield Public Library.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. .
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
During the past year several new studies have been introduced, and some changes were made in order to keep our schools in line with those of other towns, and if we are to keep them up to that standard, still other changes will have to be made. Studies that heretofore were not taken up until the High school was reached, are now taken in the seventh, eighth and ninth grade Grammar schools. The Advanced Grammar school in Wakefield is doing about the same work that is done the first year in many High schools, and our advice to those intending to enter the High school, is to attend this school one year before doing so.
Miss T. S. McCarthy, who had taught the Centre Grammar school for a long time, resigned early in the year to accept a more lucrative situation.
Miss Lund, an assistant in the Somersworth, N. H., High School, taught the balance of the term. During the spring term the school was in charge of Miss H. T. Griffin of Bridgton, Me. Miss Griffin was a teacher of considerable experience, and we understand she is now teaching in a neighboring town.
At the opening of the fall term, in September, Miss M. D. Brad- street took charge of the school and has met with good success, She is a good disciplinarian and thorough teacher; the attendance in this school has been better the last term than usual, consequently more and better work has been accomplished.
Miss M. W. Flannigan is still in charge of the Centre Primary school, and has been very successful in her work. Quite a large class was promoted to the Grammar school last September, so that the school is not quite as large as it was last year, but with the com- ing of warm weather the membership will increase and the attend- ance improve.
The South Primary school continues the "even tenor of its way"." with Miss H. M. Alden in charge. She is still the right teacher in
22
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
the right place, and may she continue there for years to come. Her pupils all work with a will and take an interest in their work that is surprising.
The South Grammar school has been particularly unfortunate in having so many changes in its teachers. Miss J. A. Griffin taught until the close of the spring term. Miss B. A. Morgan of Orange took charge of the school at the. beginning of the fall term and taught until early in January, when she resigned to accept a position in the Orange High school. Miss Morgan was doing good work and was well liked by both scholars and parents, and we were sorry to accept her resignation, especially so, in the middle of a term and at such short notice. The school was then taught by Miss Fox and Miss Dennis for about two weeks, when it was closed for a few days until Miss Goodrich, who now has charge of it, could accept the position. Miss Goodrich is a teacher of experience and ability and has promised to stay with us until the close of the spring term. This constant change of teachers has been very bad for the school, and has interfered with its progress ; but poor teachers we do not want and good ones we will keep as long as we can. Schools of this kind are but stepping stones to higher places, for successful teachers.
This town needs a superintendent of schools It has voted twice to unite with other towns for the purpose of employing one, but each time has been unable to. At the present time with the constant changes amd improvements'in educational matters and methods, it is difficult for any committee to keep the schools under their charge up with those of a town which has a superintendent skilled in his work and making that his business. Over three-fourths of the towns in this state employ superintendents, either alone or in connection with other towns.
As reported last year the town of Wakefield in 1894 increased the rate of tuition in its High school from twenty-six to forty dollars per year ; last year it was again increased to fifty dollars per year. There are now eight pupils from this town attending this school, one of whom graduates in June. There are some seven or eight pupils from this town attending the Advanced Grammar school in Wakefield, with the intention of entering its High school in September. We have kept informed as to the work done by those who entered last September, and find that it compares favorably with that done by
28
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
the Wakefield scholars. In the words of Mr. Howe, the principal, "The Lynnfield scholars are all right." The Wakefield High school stands very high and we are fortnnate in having such a school to take our pupils, but we felt that the rates of tuition were also very high, and we labored hard to secure a reduction but without success. This is a matter over which we have but little control. All we can do is to know that the pupil is qualified to enter, takes an interest in his work after entering, and approve the bill when presented.
We shall have to ask for the following appropriation for the ensu- ing year :
