This book is loaned to the pupil on the following con- ditions :
1. It is to be carefully used and not marked or defaced.
2. It is not to be taken from the school-room without the con- sent of the teacher.
3. If lost or injured it is to be paid for by the pupil using it.
Each book was numbered, and a record kept by the teacher in a blank book prepared for the purpose, of the cost of the book, the number, the name of the school, to whom loaned and the date.
These books are to be inspected every month, and those lost or unnecessarily injured, are to be reported to the Committee. ] In such cases we have required payment from the pupil to whom the book was charged. .
In most instances the loaned books have been used care- fully, and supplies furnished economically ; and, though the bills incurred may seem large to those who have given the subject but little thought, we believe nothing useless or unnecessary has been furnished ; and we think our first year will be our most expensive one if the care is given to the supplies that the subject demands.
Owing to the very small number of pupils of school ages, who lived near the North School-house, and the ex- pressed desire of some parents who have heretofore sent children to that school, it was deemed temporarily expe- dient to allow the North pupils to attend the Centre School.
The Centre School was under the instruction of Annie L. Davis for the entire school year, and it has, during the successive terms, been a source of pride and pleasure to your Committee. Miss Davis has shown tact and marked ability as a disciplinarian and teacher. The methodical system upon which her instruction was based, laid an excellent foundation in some of the classes for future work.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Her earnest endeavor to induce the pupils to grasp funda- mental principles was praiseworthy. They have mani- fested an unusual interest in their school-work and deserve commendation. In short, it may truly be said of Miss Davis, she has shown herself possessed of untiring energy, and has been devoted, high-toned, conscientious, success- ful. Moreover, the parents have been mindful of the in- terests of their precious children, and many visits during the school-year, to see how the work was carried on, have attested their sympathy.
When it seemed wise to divide the South School, the change was effected, not hastily, but with the full concur- rence of the parents and citizens interested. On receiving a petition from many parents in the District. your Chair- man called a public meeting, which all fathers, mothers, voters and taxpayers were cordially invited to attend. After an hour's careful review of reasons, favorable or otherwise, those present were invited to express approval or disapproval ; and, without one dissenting voice it was the expressed wish that the division of school be made.
Of the utility of this modification there seems to be no doubt. The full perfection of its fruit, at this time, it is too early to look for. It is far more important to consider how to make the most of its advantages and how to avoid the evils to which it is liable.
The South Grammar School continued under the charge of Leila S. Taylor till the close of the spring term ; and Miss Taylor's excellent discipline was maintained to the end. During the summer vacation, she honorably ten- dered her resignation and accepted a more lucrative posi- tion in Medway. The sympathy and kindest wishes of the Committee for her prosperity and success followed her to her new field of labor.
Minnie L. Farnsworth was appointed her successor, September I, and carried the school, both successfully and satisfactorily, to the close of the school-year. Miss Farns-

worth united great firmness with rare gentleness, and won the genuine love as well as the respect of her pupils. Full of sympathy for the disappointments as well as the successes of childhood, there was that mutual bond of harmony that should always exist in a school. Miss Farnsworth's ability to make all her school-work clear, and her industry, made her services of more than usual value. The general discipline has remained in the uni- formly excellent condition during the four years just clos- ing. We cannot pass over this point lightly. All honor to the boys and girls who did not forget to try to do RIGHT ; and to the teachers in charge of that room, who not only commanded respect for proper law but exacted obedience.
Alice C. Dockham was in charge of the South Primary School from the beginning of the school-year till October 24, when she left her school to accept a position as sub- stitute in Chelsea, with increased compensation. On October 28, your Committee received Miss Dockham's resignation, which was accepted with regret. It is always a misfortune to have successful school-work interrupted in the midst of a term and without the slightest note of warning.
Florence M. Ellis was employed as substitute till the close of the term; and it affords the special Committee on that School, pleasure to say, Miss Ellis' review of Miss Dockham's work was remarkably thorough and satisfactory.
During the winter term this school was in charge of Sarah E. Downing, of Lynnfield Centre.
In the South Schools, during the past four years, the teachers have reported nine hundred and five visits from parents and others ; and the Committee deem it but just to express to those parents their appreciation of the unusual interest and sympathy thus evinced in the every-day work of the schools, that could not fail to have a beneficial effect upon the children.
During the four years now closing, Emma L. Richard-

son has been neither absent nor tardy. Fred. A. Eaton, during the same period, has not been tardy and was absent but one-half day, when confined to his bed by illness. Clara M. Herrick of the Centre School was not absent dur- ing two successive terms and tardy but once.
Your Committee appreciate the foundation in music that Helen B. Munroe laid so thoroughly. Those who witnessed the results in both exhibition and examination expressed kind approval.
The introduction of music into our schools, in an econom- ical and judicious manner, has its bearing on the educated speech of our children, in its refining influence ; and, in its instruction, we find the little child its apt and willing learner of simple melodies. When the teacher is com- petent and careful in this exercise a great good is done. Variety is brought into the child's life. Something is accomplished in training the vocal organs, and there comes an improvement in the tones, that has much to do with refined and musical speech.
In behalf of our children we ask, " What is the object of our schools except to raise high-minded men and women, such as the wise and good of all ages describe ?"
Let our young friends look to it that they do not dis- appoint the expectations that their elders have a right to form, after the labors and sacrifices others have borne in their behalf.
Let them remember that saying of ancient wisdom, " that the gods have placed labor before excellence," and that those who would attain the latter, in any position in life, must comply with the inexorable condition laid down by the heavenly powers. If they would win, and keep what they have won, they must work for it. By work, we make the best part of life the more intense. By work, wisely directed and properly performed, we may double our capacities without exhausting our energies. Let us waste no time in sloth or enervating indulgence.

SCHOOL REPORT.
" Encircled by her heaven-bright band. On a rough steep doth Virtue stand, And he who hopes to win the goal, To manhood's height who would aspire .- Must spurn each sensual, low desire. Must never falter, never tire.
But on with sweat-drops of the soul."
We prolong our lives by filling them with new thoughts and precious truths. We enlarge our best enjoyments by studying those literary works in which the most illustrious men of former ages still speak to us. We add to our acquaintance by studying the works of such ; and we may know them almost as intimately as if we had met them in living form. We may lengthen our days, as it were, so as to include the ages in which lived the great and good of centuries.
We hope our pupils will all strive in the future to be wise and worthy by faithfully cultivating all their moral and intellectual powers.
