At the opening of the winter term, Miss Martha W. Brooks was again engaged to take charge of the school in District No. 1, from which position she had resigned on account of sickness. Our other schools continue under the charge of the same efficient teachers.
BUILDINGS.
During the summer vacation all the school-houses were thoroughly cleaned, and all, with the exception of District No. 4, were kalso- mined and whitewashed, and we think that now our school-rooms will compare very favorably with those of neighhoring towns.
We have taken the liberty to have the school-house in District No. 3 shingled, as it was leaking badly, and had never been shingled since it was built, more than thirty years ago.
At the last annual town meeting seventy-five dollars was appro- priated for painting the school-house in District No. 4. The work was thoroughly done in the summer, by Mr. T. A. Lawrence.

HIGH SCHOOL.
According to a vote of the town, a new High School was opened in September, at the school-house in District No. 2.
On July 12, the entrance examination was held. Thirty-one scholars presented themselves for examination, and 30 passed suc- cessfully, the average per cent required being 70. Several took the examinations afterwards, being unable to attend on that day, and were also successful.
Our school now numbers 32 scholars. We were very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Edward J. Cox, late of the Haver- hill High School, to take charge of our school, he bringing to his work a thorough knowledge of the subjects to be taught, and an excellent method of making them understood by others.
We have now two classes in the school, 18 scholars in the first class, who will graduate in three years, and 14 in the second, who take the entire course and graduate in four years. We feel that the town may well be proud of the High School, and that no voter, especially those who have children, will want it discontinued.
Although most of the scholars come from a distance, the attend- ance is much better than in the district schools, each one seeming to think it a pleasure rather than a duty to be present.
As an evidence of this fact the register shows a membership of 33, with an average attendance of 32, 16 not absent or tardy dur- ing the term.
THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
The Committee have prepared a course of study for these schools, so that although our schools are called mixed, they are in fact graded schools.
By this course of study the teacher can see just how much is re- quired for each year, and can thus divide the year's work into the work for each term, making a uniformity in the work of the schools such as we have never h'ad before. With the establishment of our High School, the scholars in the district schools seemed to take a fresh start, as they now have something to work FOR, and in no school
44
have we heard complaints of hard work or long lessons, but rather, " May we study at home so that we can go to the High School next year?" We wish to thank our teachers for the readiness with which they have entered into all our plans for benefiting the schools and for the kindly spirit with which they have received our criticisms.
PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF EDUCATION :
Have you visited the school in your district this term or this year? Have you visited the High School? In each teacher's register there is kept a record of visitors during the year, we see but very few of your names written therein. If we could only per- suade you to visit our schools, you would be better satisfied, your children would be pleased, and our teachers would be encouraged. Do not say, " What's the use for me to visit the schools ? I should n't. know anything about it if I did go ; I don't know anything about Latin, algebra, physics, drawing, or history." Just wait a min- ute before you decide so hastily, and allow us to differ from you a little. Perhaps you do not know much about these studies, but you can certainly tell whether the scholars recite well or not, and whether they seem interested in their studies, and if the general appearance of the school is good. Now, do you not see that you can visit schools, although you may not be an accomplished scholar, but just a friend of education, and one who has the interest of the schools at heart.
Never discuss what you consider a teacher's faults before your - children ; for, as surely as you do this, just so surely the school will be injured. Each child has an influence over his neighbor either for or against the teacher ; if he hears the teacher well spoken of at home, you may be sure he will do the same at school.
In many cases no fault would be found with the teacher if we stopped to consider how much a teacher has to bear. Fathers and mothers, do you not find it a difficult matter to govern even two children, and have everything go smoothly? Then how much sym- pathy ought we to have for the teachers, who have children to gov- ern from a dozen different families.
45
When we first attended school we were taught to " say our let- ters," and to " print." but now our children are taught to read and to write. It would surprise you to see the good writing done in our schools by scholars between the ages of five and seven years. These scholars are also taught some arithmetic and geography, and something of drawing and physiology, and all this during the first two years of school.
We have spoken more particularly of the primary work, for if the foundation is not well laid the whole school work is likely to be more or less a failure. Now that we have a course of study and our work laid out from day to day, you will readily see the neces- sity for constant attendance.
Let a scholar be kept away from school for one week for some trifling excuse, he not only injures himself, but keeps the whole class back while he is making up for lost time. Or, we will sup- pose he goes on with his class, then the first day come up questions the class has had while he was gone, he knows nothing about it, and the teacher has to lose valuable time in explaining what he should have known. Therefore, keep the children in school ; it is for only six hours out of twenty-four : certainly you can afford to give them one quarter of each day for such an important matter as education.

FORTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS OF NORWELL
FOR THE YEAR 1889.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
The same amount of money, namely, $2,500 was raised at the annual meeting in March last, and Henry Norwell, Esq., contrib- uted a like amount.
There has been expended for general repairs $4,657.23, leaving a balance of $342.77, which amount was placed to the credit of the River Street work; the cost of the same having exceeded the town's appropriation of $400.
EXTRA REPAIRS.
The town appropriated $1,200 for building the new section of road on Grove Street, and for widening the street from the junc- tion of Prospect and Grove Streets past the house of Daniel D. Sprague. The new section was let at auction to Alden Briggs to build, for $1,000 ; the labor being performed under the supervision of Jedediah Dwelly, Esq., who also furnished plans and specifi- cations for the work.
Mr. Briggs, we believe, faithfully performed his part of the con- tract and has been paid in full for the same.
A portion of the other work has been done by day labor, as the body of the report will show. The new road has, since January 1, been railed ; which expense does not appear in this report. An appropriation will be needed to complete the repairs, as ordered by the commissioners.
4
The repairs of the highway on River Street was let at auction to Mr. A. B. Chamberlain, at thirty cents per yard ; the estimated amount of material to be removed being 1,700 yards. The high embankment proved to be of very poor material for a road. Mr. Chamberlain, we believe, faithfully completed his contract ; but the road was yet in a very unfinished condition, and it was necessary to expend more money to make it safe and passable through the winter. We feel confident that in the improvements now made, by reducing the grade of the hill, widening the street, and intro- ducing sidewalks, the street has been remodelled in a manner that will meet the approval of the citizens of the town. The amount paid has been $490 on contract, and $301.81 on account of day labor, making $791.81 less $342.97 allowed from the highway appro- priation, leaves the amount $448.84. As this street is an impor- tant thoroughfare for other towns, we are to petition the county commissioners for an allowance from the county treasury on account of these improvements.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
The past year the almshouse has continued in charge of Mr. C. H. Williston and wife, and they have given good satisfaction. The number of inmates has averaged more than for previous years. By the report of the agent of the State Board of Lunacy and Charity (who has visited all the almshouses in the State) our house is reported as being " clean and tidy ; free from vermin ; the bedding good ; heated by a furnace ; and the drainage satisfactory."
The report is one that we ought to be proud of, after reading those of many other towns in the State.
The expense for support of " out-door poor " has been large, as will be seen. Sickness has caused quite a part of. The expense for medical attendance and nursing for George Stetson could not well be avoided ; even if he had been an inmate of the almshouse (which he very much objected to), the same expense would have occurred.
