I. STATEMENT OF WORK DONE IN THE SEVERAL SCHOOLS.
In most of the schools the work throughout the year has progressed pleasantly, and with slight interruptions. Con- sequently, gratifying results have attended the co-operative efforts of teachers and pupils.
The technical qualification of the several teachers has been good, and all but three have brought to their work the ex- perience of other years. Five of these served schools in town the previous year.
DISTRICT No. 1.

The spring and fall terms were taught by Miss Hattie M. Ellis, of North Andover, Mass. She was a conscientious and faithful teacher, and soon gained the confidence and
1
28
respect of all. Few teachers, if any, have tried harder to do their whole duty to those under their charge. Her aim was to do thorough work, and not simply to have the school appear well on examination days. If there was a lack of order, it was not due to indifference on her part. The most apparent lack in her administration consisted in her doing for her pupils the work they should have been made to do for themselves. Good results, however, were obtained.
The winter term is still in progress, and is taught by Miss Susan C. Eastman, of Henniker, N. H. Miss East- man has had an extensive and varied experience as a teacher. In her work thus far during the term, she has given the school an excellent drill in most of the studies pursued. The committee has been especially gratified with the thor- ough work done in intellectual arithmetic ; also in practical arithmetic. The teacher is well received by the people in the district. The examination took place Feb. 20, two weeks before the close of the term, and was very satisfac- tory. Those most personally interested in the school feel that a profitable year's work has been done.
DISTRICT No. 2.
The patrons of this school were fortunate in continuing the services of Miss Mary A. Haseltine, of Salem, whose work the previous year was a promise of success , this year. In this school are found some of the best readers in town, considering their age. A good degree of proficiency in other branches has been secured. These results were due, not alone to earnest work on the part of the teacher, but also to ready co-operation by parents and pupils. After closing the year, as they had supposed, it was found that money was due them, by which they were able to add a third term of six weeks.

DISTRICT No. 3.
Miss Anna C. Hemphill, of Derry, taught this school the entire year. She also made good use of her previous ac- quaintance with the families in the district, having taught here the year before. Miss Hemphill is one of the quietest of teachers, but is earnest and persevering, and has the ex- cellent faculty of inciting her pupils to co-operative action. Good results will invariably follow where the conditions are thus favorable.
The committee was not able to attend the examination at the close of the second term, having been taken suddenly ill.
DISTRICT No. 4.
This school had but one teacher throughout the year, Miss Mary D. Webster, of Chester, N. H. Miss Webster's qual- ifications are good ; and having had an experience of several terms as teacher, good results were expected. The first and second terms, especially, were very satisfactory.
No school in town has shown so thorough a drill in intel- lectual arithmetic as was evinced in this school. The com- mittee makes special mention of this fact, as this form of teaching a ready use of the principles of arithmetic is too generally neglected. The committee, not being able to attend the examination at the close of the second term, se- cured the services of Rev. H. H. Colburn, who was well pleased with the condition of the school.
Some irregularities deserve to be mentioned. Miss Web- ster commenced her school without first obtaining a certifi- cate of qualification from the Superintending Committee, which was a violation of the statute. She also closed her school without an examination, which was irregular, to say the least. The committee would urge that it is always best to conform to the law as nearly as possible.
30
DISTRICT No. 5.
The first term was taught by Miss Isabel D. Kelly, of Bradford, Mass. Miss Kelly came well recommended, and was fully qualified, in education, to teach the school. It was her first school, however, and some of the larger schol- ars, nearly or quite her equals in age, took advantage of this fact, and by impudent remarks sought to annoy the teacher and to damage her influence in the district. But, despite these discouraging features of her work, most of the classes made creditable progress in the studies pursued.
The winter term is taught by Mrs. Senie S. Mason, of Salem, and is progressing well at the time of this writing. Mrs. Mason also taught the fall term with excellent results. In this school, as in No. 7, Mrs. Mason is an acknowledged success.
DISTRICT No. 6.
(Primary.)
For two years Miss Emma F. Goodhue, of Derry, has had charge of this school. During this time she has proved herself well adapted to a school of this grade, although qualified, without doubt, to teach our most advanced schools. She is kind and patient, but generally firm in her government of the little ones, and has done her work with marked interest and success. It would probably be difficult to find another so well adapted as she to all the interests of this school.
DISTRICT No. 6, ( Grammar.)
Miss Georgia A. Brown, having taught this school the two terms immediately preceding, was engaged to teach the first term of this year. Miss Brown possesses many ex-
31
cellent qualifications as a teacher. These, with her experi- ence and success the previous year, should have insured excellent results. It was known that she preferred a posi- tion in a city school, and in a few weeks it was apparent that she did not wish to teach this school longer than to complete the then current term.
Bnt even the rarest fitness for such a calling can not insure the best results, except one continues with unabated interest in the work undertaken, even to the last week and day and hour of the term of service.
The fall and winter terms were taught by Miss Alice H. Jenks, of Vermont. She possessed good qualifications, besides being an experienced teacher. She commenced her work as governess as well as teacher. The effect of these disciplinary measures was on the whole beneficial. The school soon settled down to earnest and successful work. The term closed with good results.
Her second term was even more successful than her first. The committee was detained from the last examination on account of sickness in his family, but Rev. J. D. Folsom kindly consented to take his place, and reported excellent work done. There was no " cut and dried " arrangement of topics for examination.
DISTRICT No. 7.
This is a small, but very pleasant school. Mrs. Senie S. Mason, of Salem, was teacher. Possibly she is a fixture in this district, though it has not yet been decided which has the stronger claim upon her services, this school or No. 5. She taught two terms in each during the year. She has done good work in this school, and merits, as she has re- ceived, the perfect confidence of every patron.
32
DISTRICT No. 8.
This school was taught each term by Miss Mary A. Tay- lor, of Salem. She has made an excellent record here, as in other schools where she has taught. Early in the fall term she was taken sick with typhoid fever, and for five weeks was detained from her work. Many feared that seri- ous effects might follow this interruption, and appear in the year's work to the disadvantage of the district. But on re- suming her duties, the teacher devoted herself earnestly to repairing all losses sustained by her absence. And prob- ably no school in town, of like grade, has closed the year with better results.
DISTRICT No. 9.
As reported last year, this school is the smallest of the eleven now supported by the town. But if thorough work entitles a school to our recognition and support, then this one rightly claims the hearty support of each of its patrons. Miss Carrie A. Smith, of Manchester, Mass. taught both terms, but did not allow the smallness of her charge to make her dilatory in duty. It was her first school, but was very successful.
DISTRICT No. 10.
Miss Clara J. Bond, of Derry, was teacher the entire year, and devoted herself earnestly to the needs of the pupils under her care., It was her first experience, how- ever, in teaching, and being new in the work it required a little time and a good deal of persevering effort to become mistress of the situation. She served the district faithfully and unselfishly ; and notwithstanding she encountered many hindrances which prevented the highest success, yet good results were obtained. The teacher should be encouraged to persevere in her calling.
33
II. TEXT BOOKS INTRODUCED.
Early in the year the committee introduced a new series of arithmetics, Bradbury's Eaton's series, to take the place of the stale editions of at least three different series, then used in the schools. His object was twofold : 1st., to fur- nish the patrons of our schools with a series of text books as good as the best. 2d, to facilitate the work of grading the classes studying this important science.
Later in the year, he introduced Prof. W. T. Smith's Elementary Physiology, for intermediate classes. This is a new work, prepared especially to meet the provisions of the new law requiring to be taught in all schools of suffi- cient grade, " Physiology and Hygiene, with special refer- ence to the effect of alcohol and narcotics upon the human system." The committee thought to let the introduction of a Temperance Physiology pass over to next year. But, in his correspondence with the Superintendent of Public In- struction, he was instructed as follows : " The Physiology is put into the schools by the Legislature, and is not affected by Sec. 12, of Chap. 89, G. S.", which relates to a change of text books by school committees and Boards of Education. Respecting the adaptation of this book to the needs of our schools, the committee received the following endorsement from the State Department : " There is no better book than Smith's for your schools."
III. RECOMMENDATIONS.
The committee would offer the following recommenda- tions :
1st. That the teachers and several Prudential Commit- tees observe with greater care the requirements of " General
34
Statutes, Chap. 89, Sections 6 and 16 (See School Register, first page of cover). .
. 2d. That conveniences be provided in the several school- rooms, for protecting the eyes of the pupils from the glare of the sun, without excluding needed light. Suitable roller- shades can be procured at a slight expense, to the incalcula- ble advantage of the pupils.
3d. That the patrons of our schools cooperate with the committee in any reasonable changes he may propose in school text books. The study of any book, to the greatest advantage of the learner, must become a pleasure. Too often, however, it becomes drudgery, through prejudice awakened by unreasonable objection on the part of parents and guardians.
4th. That the voters of Salem consider the propriety and need of electing a " Board of Education," consisting of three or five members, instead of committing to a single individual, however competent, the responsibility of direct- ing the educational interests of our town. In recommending this action, the committee firmly believes the change here. proposed to be necessary, in order to secure the highest degree of efficiency in the government and instruction of our children and youth while in school.
Respectfully submitted,
MILES N. REED,
Superintending Committee .
