Trusting that you have read the preceding pages, allow us to say a few words in regard to them. We know that you will say, " Have we got to hear the matter of attendance discussed this year?" Yes, by all means you have.
Just look at the miserable averages ! We OUGHT to be ashamed of them and we MUST be before they will be any better. Parents, do your children go to school every day that they possibly can ? Some of the excuses the children give their teachers are absurd. Children of eight or nine years, even of twelve years, saying, when asked why they haven't been to school for a week or two, " We had to work." Now you know and so do we all that there is
64
scarcely a parent in town who makes his children work enough for exercise and certainly not six children in town do work enough to keep them out of school two days in the year. And one very queer thing about this great bug-bear, " Work," it never in vaca- tion interferes with their play. During that time, these same children are seen at all hours of the day.
Now, we do not mean to be harsh or unjust, as we can call to mind several cases where it is actually necessary for the children to work to help support the family, but when we see a child kept at home to work, and by half-past ten be at the school-house so as to have the fun with the rest at recess, you will grant that it is provoking. Look at the record from District No. 4, 30 scholars enrolled, average attendance 22; District No. 5, 21 scholars en- rolled, average attendance 14. District No. 2, 23 scholars en- rolled, average attendance 18. Just suppose that at the begin- ning of the term you had heard 8 scholars say that they were not going to school this term, you would have notified the truant officer in less than a month, and would have done your best to put a stop to such proceedings. While instead of this you let YOUR child stay out a week here, and a day there, and three days at another time, and your neighbor did the same, making the total the same as if 8 scholars had stayed away THREE months.
And the tardiness. We contend that a child that is always late at school will be late in all he undertakes through life. In some districts there is very little of this, while in others there is too much by far; one scholar having 18 tardy marks, another 21, another 19, and others 9, 8, and 7. Now this ought not to be so. It is just as well to teach a child to be prompt, and to do what he has to do at the proper time, as it is to be always behind time. To be in .school at just nine o'clock, should be made as important as it is to be at the station when the train starts if we wish to go to Boston. One minute before an event is worth more many times than two hours after.
Another word or two about visiting our schools. We know that some people do not agree with us in thinking that it is a good plan to visit school. Now, WHY it is not, will remain a mystery.
We were delighted to see so many parents at the public exhibi-
65
tion, perhaps you all wait for that event instead of going into school during the year. Do you ? We do not want you to stay away from that next year, but we do want you to try to visit our schools while they are in session in our own school-rooms. If your child takes music lessons, you have to hear all the practicing necessary to learn the lessons given from week to week, but yet you can't visit schools to hear them practise geography, grammar and arithmetic, one half day in a term, all of which we will say from experience are many times more interesting than any music practice we ever heard, and in the majority of cases are of much more benefit to the child.
Our annual graduation held June 29, and our public exhibition held June 30, demonstrate to you more than any words of ours can do, the good work that is done in our schools, and the improvement that is made yearly. Last year, at our first exhibition, it was evident to every one that some schools gave a better exercise than did some others, but this year we heard from every tongue the same remark, ' They all did well, there is actually no choice." We shall take the liberty here to criticise ourselves for one thing, and that was, the extreme length of the exercises, and to say that we have already conceived a plan whereby they will be much shorter next year. During the year beside the Memorial Day and Columbus Day exercises, several of our schools have held other public exhibitions which have been quite well attended, and proved very enjoyable.
The examination for admission to the High School was held Wednesday, July 13, ten scholars taking the examination, and all passed it successfully. The highest average per cent obtained being 933.
Grammar. - Highest per cent obtained, 98. Lowest, 40.
Geography. - Highest per cent obtained, 95. Lowest, 52.
Arithmetic. - Highest per cent obtained, 100. Lowest, 69.
Spelling. - Highest per cent obtained, 95. Lowest, 50.
History. - Highest per cent obtained, 100. Lowest, 35.
Physiology. - Highest per cent obtained, 98. Lowest, 46.
We wish that some way could be provided by which all our scholars could enjoy the benefits of our High School. We know of
66
at least a dozen who are deprived the privilege of attending the school simply because it is utterly impossible to get there. Every parent in town helps to support the school, and he thinks, rightly enough, that he should be benefited by it ; but if his child cannot get to the school-house, he has hard work to see how the High School is of much use to him. Cannot something be done about this matter at the annual meeting? Other towns transport the scholars ; cannot we do the same?
An appropriation of $3,400 will be necessary for the coming year.
On behalf of the members of the High School, we wish to thank the Helping Hand Society, for its gift of eighteen dollars which has been placed in the bank as a fund toward obtaining a musical instrument for their school-room, also the Alumni of District No. 2, for their present of six dollars with which to purchase books of reference for use in the High School, one, "King's Handbook of the United States" has been bought and the remainder of the money will purchase another when a favorable opportunity pre- sents itself. Our thanks are also due to Mrs. J. C. Otis for her valuable assistance with the singing at our graduation exercises and to the friends who kindly lent us potted plants and robbed their gardens of the choicest blossoms, and to Mr. Ezekiel T. Vinal who decorated the hall with the national colors.
OUR BUILDINGS.
The school-house in District No. 5 has received the much- needed coat of paint and is now a "thing of beauty," instead of the dirty looking building of one year ago.
The yard in District No. 6 has been graded, very much improv- ing the appearance of that building. We have had a platform for the teacher's desk put into the school-house in District No. 3, and the stove moved nearer the centre of the room, making it more convenient and easier to heat. We think that there are no large repairs needed this year so shall not have to ask for an extra appropriation. The minor repairs will be made in vacation as usual.

We have had more changes during this year in our corps of teachers than for several years before. Mr. Burke, on resigning in February, was succeeded by Mr. Edward P. Kelly, of Auburndale, a Harvard graduate, and an experienced teacher. Under his untir- ing efforts the school has made rapid progress. Feeling, at the close of the year in June, that he should be unable to take charge of the school the next year, owing to the amount of work required, unless he had an assistant, we, unwilling to lose so popular a teacher, secured the services of Miss Dora A. Gardner, who has proved herself a valuable helper. Miss Dill, of District No. 1 Grammar School, who resigned in June to accept a position at her home in Rockland, was succeeded by Miss Etta Holt, of Andover. In September, when school began, we were very much pained to learn of the illness of Mrs. Stowell, who has taught very success- fully the primary grade in District No. 1 for several years. We therefore obtained the services of Miss Rebecca C. Brooks, as a substitute, for seven weeks; Mrs. Stowell then being unable to continue her work, has been succeeded by Miss Grace H. Jacobs.
Miss Emma M. Gardner, resigning in September to accept a position in New Hampshire, has been succeeded by Miss Sarah B. Jacobs, a teacher whose work in this town and in Hanover, is most favorably known.
Miss Alice S. Graham, of District No. 4, although a stranger to us when she began her work in January last, proved herself, dur- ing her two terms' work, a successful teacher, gaining many friends both in school and out. The school which she left in June in such good condition has been taught the past term by Miss E. Josephine
68
Curtiss, one of our own High School graduates, and afterward a member of the Newton Training School. Miss Curtiss' work being very successful, she still continues in her position.
In District No. 6, during the severe illness of Miss Ford's mother, we employed Miss Annie Greene as a substitute, Miss Green being another of our graduates, and was then, as she is now, a member of the Quincy Training School. Through the kind- ness of the principal of the Quincy school, we secured her services for five and one half weeks.
Mrs. Buttrick, of District No. 7 Grammar School, who was called away for a few weeks by illness in her family, had for a substitute her daughter, Miss Bertha Buttrick.
All schools retaining the same teachers for a number of terms improve faster than those unfortunate enough to lose the teacher every other term, so we always try to secure a teacher whose home is in town, as being more likely to stay with us than a stranger would be.
Let us, parents, teachers, committee, remembering that, " The children of today are the men of tomorrow," do all that lies in our power to instil such habits during their school days as will help to make them the honorable men and women we wish them to become, a credit to our good old town.

FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS OF NORWELL,
FOR THE YEAR 1893.
To the Citizens of Norwell :-
We submit for your consideration the Forty-Fourth An- nual Report of the Officers of the Town, trusting that the management of its various departments will meet your approval.
REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
The system of Road Commissioners for this town having been abolished at our annual meeting in March last, the Selectmen appointed Henry Norwell as Superintendent of Streets. The work has been done under the supervision of Richard P. Briggs and Emanuel P. Joseph.
The town appropriated $2,500, and the usual contribution of a like sum was received from Henry Norwell, Esq., mak- ing a total of $5,000. There has been expended, including the new work on Main Street, $5,179.39. The County has allowed $175 for regrading Jones' Hill on Main Street, which would leave the net expense to the Town during the past year for highway expenditures, $5,004.39.
As voted by the Town, the Selectmen petitioned the Hon- orable County Commissioners to view Main and Central
6
Streets between the residences of Charles W. Tilden and Geo. Briggs' heirs, and widen straighten and grade as in their judgment seemed necessary. The view has been made and the Commissioners have submitted a plan for the considera- tion of the town at the annual meeting in March next.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
Mr. C. F. Atkinson and wife assumed charge of the Alms- house April 1, and seem to be giving good satisfaction. The expense for supporting the house during the past year has been $1,280.58, the lowest for several years. There are at present seven inmates in the house.
There has been paid for support of Out-door Poor, $1,718.28. Included in this amount is $219.32 paid the city of Quincy for aid rendered Charles D. Mann and family from 1888 to 1890. With this deducted, the net cost to the town during the year for aid rendered is $1,498.96, a slight decrease from last year. For soldiers' relief the expense to the town the past year has been $242.47, as compared with $393.62 in 1892.
