We decided, after careful consideration, to adopt the Barnes Geographies in place of the Harper's series which we are now using, and these new books will be used for the first time in January, 1892, when the winter term begins.
And right here is a matter of which we must speak, and that is, the poor books in use in our schools. We cannot help it, books will wear out ; but we must have an appropriation sufficient to re-
47
place these poor books with new ones. Especially do we notice the poor arithmetics and readers (books that are the most used) ; you would not allow your children to use such dirty, ragged books at home. A child studies so much better with a good, clean book. Give him an old torn one, he is at once discouraged ; he doesn't care if he does tear it a little more, or lose a leaf or two, while with a new one almost every child will take pride in keeping it neat and clean.
You think, we suppose, that school books do not cost much, nor do they, if we only bought enough for half a dozen children, but when you buy enough for two hundred, it takes a good deal of money. Then, beside books, we have to furnish slate and lead pencils, rubber and blackboard erasers, examination, drawing and practice papers, drawing books and spelling blanks, pens and pen holders, chalk, ink and slates.
It is certainly true that education is free ; we have often thought if it cost people more, they would prize it accordingly. A few years ago we purchased for our schools, language charts, which have been very much used and appreciated alike by pupils and teachers. This year, we have purchased for each a complete chart, embracing reading, phonics, drawing, writing, arithmetic, United States history, United States civil government, physiology, and hygiene (with special reference to the effects of alcohol and tobacco on the system), and a set of maps, including a map of the United States, showing the new States, also a map of each conti- nent (we had not a map of North America in town), giving the coun- tries, with their area, population, government, capital and largest city, and we are happy to say that the verdict from each teacher is, " the children are delighted with it."
OUR TEACHERS.
Although retaining a majority of the teachers of last year, we have been obliged from several reasons to part with a number of faithful ones. Miss Martha W. Brooks, resigning by reason of ill health from the grammar school, District No. 1, has been suc- ceeded by Miss Florence M. Dill. Miss Dora A. Gardner, feeling that she was needed at home, resigned, and Miss Emma M. Gardner
48
a Bridgewater graduate, has taken her place. Miss Carrie M. Ford, who resigned from District No. 4, was succeeded by Miss Mattie F. Smith of Acton, who, on teaching two terms, also resigned to accept a position at her home, and her successor is Miss Alice S. Graham of Manchester, Mass., a graduate of Salem Normal School. Miss Nellie M. Hatch, who resigned in September, to accept a permanent position as housekeeper for a newly married couple, has been succeeded by Miss Carrie M. Ford. To our teachers one and all, we give the praise of " tried and true," and " always faithful."
An appropriation of $3,200 will be sufficient for the coming year.
To the friends of our children and of education :
Wednesday, July 1, 1891, was a proud day in Norwell; and why, do you ask ? Because the first class graduated from our newly established High School. Who could look on those young, happy faces and not feel proud, not only of them but of your generosity in giving them such opportunities to acquire the education which they had ?
And on Thursday, July 2, did you attend the union exhibition of all the schools? If not, do come next year, as we intend to make it an annual affair. In the upper hall we had an exhibition of the writing, drawing and map-drawing work which is done, having one sample of writing and one of drawing from every scholar in town, even from the youngest ones in the primary grade.
Each school was allowed twenty minutes, during which each gave a class exercise on some subject which had been assigned them, and the remainder of the time was spent as the teacher directed in singing, speaking, or gymnastics.
By holding these yearly public exhibitions, we make great gain in several directions. Our teachers have a chance to see what other schools and teachers are doing, our scholars gain a confi- dence in themselves that can be acquired in no other way, and the parents and friends will make an effort to come to the Town Hall
49
to see hear and the children perform, while no amount of per- suasion on our part can induce them to visit the school rooms.
The daily attendance has been a little better this year than heretofore, and would have been better still had it not been for the prevalence of la grippe and measles.
During the last term we tried a new plan, that of giving to the school having the largest number of scholars not absent during the term, an extra holiday in the term following and of giving that school the name " Banner School." The honor has first been won by Grammar School, District No. 7, Mrs. Buttrick teacher. that having eight scholars who were not absent out of a total fifteen.
July 15, the examination for admission to the High School was held, sixteen scholars passed the test successfully, eight securing over 80 per cent and two over ninety.
Parents, do you realize what opportunities are offered your children in our High School? Do you try to impress on them that such a chance as is now offered them comes but once in a lifetime? How many times have we heard the wish expressed by those now grown to young manhood and womanhood. "If we could have had such a High School when were we young how much better educated we now should be "? Send your children to the High School as well as to those below it; they may object a little now, but in after years they will thank you for it.
We were very much pleased to receive, last November, a visit from Mr. Martin. His time being so limited he was unable to visit all the schools but instead gave to teachers and committee one of his practical talks which we all enjoy so much, receiving many new ideas in " the work which lies nearest us."
We have heard it said that in these country towns, where the people, as a general thing, are not rich in worldly goods, the best legacy we can leave our children is A GOOD EDUCATION. Without an education a child is poor, very poor ; with one, he is rich with wealth which none can take away.
Therefore see to it that your children get this education, which in reality costs you very little but may be to them a fortune.
Mr. Martin told us that our schools improve every year, so let
50
us work together in the future as in the past to make them better still, for in the education of our children lies the safety of our State.
Respectfully submitted, MARY E. CURTIS, for the School Committee.

FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS OF NORWELL,
FOR THE YEAR 1892.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
The usual appropriation of $2,500 was made by the town, and there was received from Henry Norwell, Esq., the same amount. The town also by vote added the unexpended balance of 1891, which made a total of $5,202.45, to be used for repairs of high- ways, construction and repairs of sidewalks.
There has been expended for this purpose $5,058.20.
Acting under the vote of the town the Selectmen petitioned the Hon. County Commissioners to view Main Street, from a point near the house of Joshua D. Bailey to a point near the house of E. T. Vinal, and widen, straighten, and grade as in their judgment seemed necessary. The commissioners after viewing the premises determined that the public necessity and common convenience require that the prayer of the petitioners be granted.
An order of notice has been received from the commissioners accompanied with specifications and plan, ordering the inhabitants of the town to cause said work to be completed, and accepted by the County Commissioners before the first day of October, A. D. 1893.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
For the second year the Almshouse has continued in charge of Mr. Orlando H. Lake and wife, and their management has been entirely satisfactory to the Board of Overseers of the Poor, and so far as known, to town people generally. The expenses for maintaining the house are somewhat less than usual, there are now
6
eight inmates in the house one having died during the year, namely, Mary Granderson.
There has been paid for support of poor outside the Almshouse $1,599.48, of this amount $1,055.68 was on account of hospital, medical, and burial expenses. The bills for medical attendance have appeared to us large in some cases and we think good results would follow if the town by vote instructed its overseers of the poor to furnish all necessary medical attendance. This method is adopted in all cities and many towns in our State and none are known to suffer in consequence.
CEMETERY.
At the annual meeting in March last, the town instructed the Selectmen to purchase the Jacobs lot of land fronting on Washing- ington Street in this town, containing nineteen acres, for the pur- pose of a cemetery, limiting the price to be paid for the same at $350. After several interviews with the attorney having the property in charge in an endeavor to obtain it at the lowest possi- ble figure, we were finally obliged to pay the full amount allowed by the town to secure the property. When the cemetery land was bought and realizing the rude condition it was then in for burial purposes, we had inserted in the town warrant calling a meeting for May 7th, the following article : Will the town lay out a portion of its cemetery land into burial lots ? On this article it was voted to refer the matter to the Selectmen to act for the interests of the town. Believing it for the interests of the town that this cemetery should be properly laid out at the beginning in a convenient and systematic manner, and for that purpose employed the services of Mr. H. L. House to draw a plan of a portion of the land, and locate drives, burial lots, etc., on the same. Adopting this plan, we have expended for labor to carry out its details, $438.26, an itemized statement of which is to be found on page 29 of this report. The cemetery is still in an unfinished state and will require further expense before it can be utilized for burial pur- poses, many parties are anxious to purchase lots when ready, and in this manner the town will be refunded in part for the expense incurred.
