SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOLS.
The CENTRE SCHOOL was in charge of Miss Annie. L. Davis during the spring term, and was kept up to the same degree of excellence which characterized her teaching through the previous two years in which she had taught the school. Early in the summer vacation Miss Davis tendered her resignation, which was received with very much regret.
At the commencement of the fall term, Miss J. S. Smiley, who had taught a year in the South Primary School with the best of success was promoted to take charge of the Centre School, but after a little more than one term preferred to return to the position offered her in the South Primary School, which, on account of sickness, was with- out a teacher.
Miss Laura H. Pickering taught nine weeks of the winter term with a very good degree of success ; but the attendance was much broken on account of sickness. -
The SOUTH GRAMMAR SCHOOL was taught by Miss M. L. Farns- worth in the spring term with the same' success that had previously marked her connection with the school. In the summer vacation the Committee were sorry to receive her resignation.
Miss Sadie Newhall was employed to take charge of the school, and through the fall and winter terms has worked hard and success- fully in the school which has steadily improved under her care.
Miss J. S. Smiley taught the South Primary School in the spring and winter terms, and continued to keep up the same interest in her pupils that she did in her previous care of the school. Miss Smiley has an excellent faculty of teaching. Her scholars are always busy and quiet about their work.
Miss Annie B. Stevens taught this school in the fall and three weeks of the winter term. This was her first experience in teaching, but she soon won the confidence and love of her scholars, and taught them successfully until sickness compelled her to resign.
Your Committee are glad to say that the schools in this town have been reasonably successful and satisfactory. An unusual amount of sickness has very much interrupted all the schools through the winter term and there have been more changes in teachers than we com- monly have had. It is an unavoidable but discouraging part of a School Committee's work to employ teachers that have been success-

ful in one school, and find them unsuccessful in other schools. The children of the North District have been carried to the Centre School, thus giving them better school privileges than they would have had if a school had been opened in their own district, which would have been of necessity quite small.
In order that we may see how schools average in quality, we make this extract from the report of one of the State School Agents. "Of the teaching in one hundred and fifty-two rooms about equally divid- ed between graded and ungraded schools, I found thirty-seven to be good and very good, sixty-four fair, and fifty-one poor and very poor. The common faults in poor schools consists of using signs and sourc- es of knowledge instead of the things themselves ; of substituting memorized analysis and explanations for reasoning ; of telling in place of teaching ; and of doing for the pupils what they should do for themselves."
MORAL INSTRUCTION.
It is undeniably true that the moral tone of our schools has been greatly improved within the past few years, and that the means of discipline are less severe than formerly. Yet it is true that more may be done to carry out the provisions of the Statutes relating to moral instruction, and that the methods of discipline can be greatly im- proved. In all school work, moral and intellectual, the parents have always an important part to perform. If they are careless in regard to attendance or conduct, an evil is committed that is very hard to overcome.
