REPORT OF THE SELECTIIE\,
The past year has been one of general prosperity and progress
for our town. Among the other cities and towns of the Com-
monwealth she still, in company with one or two others, stands
foremost in point of relative wealth. She is burdened with but a.
comparatively small debt. Considering the special large outlay
the past year, occasioned by the erection of the new library build-
ing and the purchase of the Titcombe estate, the rate of taxation
has been low. Even after providing for this exceptional outlay,
the toNvn debt has been reduced, and there is now, according to
the Treasurer's report, an unusually large balance in the treasury.
STREET LIGHTS.
During the past near tN%'elwe ncN%• lights (six gas and six naph-
tha) have been added to the number with which the town had
been previously provided. This makes the .whole number of
lights with tN•hich the town is at present supplied, two hundred
and seventeen, of which fifty-six are gas, and one hundred and
sixty-one naplitha. I3y ,in agreement made with the United States
Street Lighting Company, the naphtha lights there to be fur-
nished at the rate of twelve dollars each per annum. Oil
January I, 1883, the company abandoned its contract, and an
agreement was entered into with the Globe Gas Light Com-
pany, by which it was to furnish until the first of May next, the
same number of lights as the United States Street Lighting Com-
pany, at the rate of fifteen dollars each per annum. The Globe
Company has thus far given satisfaction, notwithstanding the dis-
advant<�iges under which it began its work. Petitions are now on
file for additional lights in different localities, which must be acted
upon by the next board. We are of the opinion that it will be
found advisable to add to the number N%•e already have, at least
ten or twelve new lights the coming year.
S REPORT OIL THE SELECTMEN.
SIDEWALKS.
ALKS.
Concrete sidewalks have been laid as follows, viz: On that
portion of the northerly side of Morse street, not heretofore con-
creted ; on the easterly side of Bigelow Avenue, from Mount
Auburn Street to Elton Avenue ; and on the westerly side of
Galen Street, from Boyd Street to the Newton line, the latter
being supplied with curbing. A portion of the cost of construct-
ing these sidewalks has been assessed on the abutters, as provided
by law, and a warrant for the collection of the same has been
placed in the hands of the Collector.
The Board was authorized by the town to transfer from the
contingent fund a sufficient sum to construct with curbing, a side-
-%valk on the west side of Galen Street, as far as the bridge, thus
making a continuous sidewalk on each side of the street, as far as
the Newton line. This we undertook to do, but found that owing
to the lateness of the season we could not secure the necessary
curbstones in time to enable us to complete the work before the
cold weather and frost were liable to set in. We concluded,
therefore, as a matter of prudence, that the construction of the
sidewalk northwardly from Boyd Street to the bridge, should be
deferred until the ensuing year.
E, W STREETS.
During the past year two new streets have been accepted, Gar-
field Street and Russell Avenue. Garfield Street,as accepted,ex-
tends from Mount Auburn Street to the northerly line of the premises
belonging to and occupied by the Rev. Arthur M. Knapp. Rus-
sell Avenue, as accepted, extends from Mount Auburn Street to
the northerly line of the homestead premises of William Russell,
Esq. Both of said streets are forty feet in width, and are well
constructed. A plan of each of said streets is on file in the office
of the Town Clerk.
BRIDGES J XD C li I,T'ERTS.
Our bridges are in good condition, and during the past year
occasioned but a small outlay. The Board is of the opinion that
RLPORT OF THE SELEc,rDrEx. 9
the only appropriation for the ensuing year «•ill be one to cover
merely ordinary repairs.
The culvert under California Street, through %vhich the over-
flow from Cook's Pond runs, has been extended northward
toward the river some twenty-four feet. The street at this
point has been widened and suitably graded. This extension of
the culvert and widening of the street, add greatly to the safety of
public travel thereon.
CEMETERY.
The Board have taken no action in the matter of repairing the
cemetery wall on Common Street, for the reason that after in-
vestigating the subject, we came to the conclusion that the appear-
ance of the cemetery would be improved, :ind the town saved
expense, if this wall were removed and a suitable fence or railing
erected in its place. The stone from the wall can be utilized for
other town purposes. We therefore recommend the removal of the
present wall, and the substitution of a fence or railing therefor.
POLICE.
We have had no occasion to change the good opinion we have
in the past entertained of our police. They are zealous in the
performance of their duty, and the success of their efforts is at-
tested by the good order which generally prevails,and the security
we enjoy in person and property. Our force has been in three or
four cases increased somewhat, owing to special circumstances
which, in our judgment, made an extra expenditure in this direc-
tion judicious. This accounts for the fact that the appropriation
for this department has been slightly overdrawn.
FIRE DE PAR THEXT.
The board congratulates the town that no fire of any import-
ance has occurred within our limits during the past year. The
Board would consider itself derelict in its duty if it failed to bear
testimony, based on personal investigation, to the efficiency of
our fire department, and to the able management of the officers
having charge of the same.
]tl REPORT OF THH' SELECT.NILN.
C'l.�1.L1l,S J Cial\ST TIIE TOWN.
A suit was brought against the town by William J. Caswell
last spring, to recover two thousand dollars for injuries he re-
ceived in i88o, on Arsenal Street, on account of an alleged defect
in the highway. Both parties, with their witnesses, attended
court three days waiting for the case to be tried. It was found at
the end of this time that we were liable to be compelled to wait
several days before securing a trial. To avoid additional expense
of such delay, and in view of tlxe uncertainty attending trials by
jury, particularly where towns or other corporations are parties,
the case, after negotiation, was finally settled, the town paying
two hundred dollars in full settlement of all claims against it.
The claims of Henry Russell and others, for balance due, prin-
cipally for labor performed by them on. the IIigh School annex,
which were referred to the Board with full power to act, have
been settled substantially in accordance with the recommendation
of the committee who had charge of the building of this structure.
N4- John Sullivan has made application to the board to fill up
the trench which was dug on his land by the town some two or
three years since, through its committee appointed to investigate
for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity and quality of the
water which could be obtained from this land. It is recommended
that the whole matter be referred to the next board, with frill
power to act.
LIQUOR LICEXSE.
The law requires the citizens of every town at their annual
meeting, to vote 11 Yes" or 61 No" upon this question : " Shall
licenses be granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors in this
town?"
At their last annual meeting, our citizens by a rote of 380 to
303, decided that such licenses should be granted. It remained,
therefore, for this board to carry out the sentiment of the town
thus expressed, and in doing so we were guided by two consid-
erations, viz : first, 'was the applicant a fit person to carry on the
REPORT OF TIIE SELECTMEN.
. ] ]
business ; and secondly, if a fit person, was he legsll_t.disqualified
from receiving a license?
Out of the whole number of applicants, twenty-six were li-
censed, the net sum paid into the town treasury as license fees
being about three thousand dollars.
The names of those licensed were given to the police officers,
who were instructed to use their best efforts in enforcing the law.
This, we believe, they have striven faithfully to do. It may be
said there have been violations of the liquor law where no pros-
ecutions for the same have followed ; if this be so, it must be
borne in mind that no evidence is so difficult to obtain as the
evidence necessary to secure conviction in these cases.
ARSENAL STR. ET.
In our last report attention was called to the condition of Ar-
senal Street, and the advisability of widening it to the width
fixed by the county- commissioners in their report dated July,
I875. At the annual meeting in March last, this board and
Messrs. Samuel Walker and Joshua C. Stone were appointed a
committee to consider the subject and report thereon.
Among other defects, the committee found that the bed of the
road was in bad condition ; that the street was of varying width,
at points not more thwi twenty-eight feet; that the street where
narrowest, generally was much higher than the adjoining land,
thereby forming abrupt and steep declivities along the line of the
street; that in some places the railing or fences were insufficient
and out of repair, and in other places there was actually no rail-
ing or fence at all, particularly at points where the street was
narrow- and bordered on the declivities spoken of, thus exposing
public travel to very great danger. and the town to the liability of
having to pay heavy damages on account of accidents. Li short,
it was clear that, until there was a reconstruction of the road,
public interests would suffer. and that certain contemplated im-
provements could not be made.
At a town meeting in April, this committee submitted a report
recommending the widening of the street to the uniform width of
12 REPORT or THE SEr.EXYMEN.
sixty-six feet throughout.its entire extent, as far as the marsh land
near the Brighton line. And at the same meeting the selectmen
were instructed to commence said widening, and the sum of five
thousand dollars was voted as an appropriation to cover so much
of the expense of widening and other costs of proper construc-
tion as would be incurred the current year. We have undertaken
to carry out the instructions of the meeting.
The street on Clay Hill has been lowered five feet; substan-
tially all that portion of it from a point a little west of Prospect
Street to the foot of Clay Hill, has been widened to the uniform
width of sixty-six feet; all necessary filling has been done ; the
bed of the road between these points has been thoroughly graded
and macadamized ; new mid safe railing has been erected along
the line of the street, on both sides where needed ; and on the line
of the Gilkey and Gavan estates stone Nvalls for a cosiderable dis-
tance have been built.
The material used for filling -was partly the gravel obtained
from lowering the street on Clay Hill, and partly the material
furnished by the Walker & Pratt Manufacturing Company raider
an arrangement made with the town in 1879. This arrangement
was entered into by the town in anticipation of this widening and
consequent filling which it saw must sooner or later be done. By
the terms of the agreement, this material was to be paid for when
an appropriation for the widening of the street was made, and it
cost no more than the mere carting of gravel from Clay Bill to
the place where filling Nvas done would have cost.
-We consider this improvement one of the best and most valua-
ble street improvements that have been made in the town for
years, and it reflects credit upon the skill and knowledge which
our Superintendent, who had charge of the matter, possesses in
this line of business.
I Iereafter a less outlay for repairs on Mt. Auburn Street will be
required as the larger part of the heavy teaming and much of the
carriage travel to Boston have been transferred from this street to
the shorter, more level, and better route which Arsenal Street
REPORT or THE SELECTMEN.
provides. The latter will not require a correspondingly increased
outlay as its bed is naturally harder and less susceptible to the or-
dinary process of wear. The width, straightness, length and
comparatively uniform grade and level of the street are features
which affect favorably in point value, appearance, and otherwise
the locality- through which it passes from one end to the other.
Add to this the probability- that ere long horse-cars will run on
this street to Boston, and we cannot but be impressed with the
real importance of this thoroughfare, when properly completed,
not only to the locality along its line but to the whole town.
In January last a suit in equity- was brought by Royal Gilkey,
Esq., to test the right of the town to set back his fences and build-
ings and establish the line of the street along his estate in con-
formity with the directions of the County Commissioners. This
suit is still pending, and counsel have been employed to represent
the town and attend to its interests in the matter. Further work
on that portion of the street bounding on Mr. Gilkey's estate has
been suspended to await the final decision of the Court upon those
questions which it will be called upon to settle in the above suit.
We recommend that all steps rendered necessary by future
events be taken to continue this work of widening and improve-
ment, until the order of the County Commissioners in their report
above alluded to shall be wholly complied with.

REPORT 'OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
'.I'he management of the Town Farm and Almshouse has been
highly satisfactory in every respect, and satisfactory Ave feel
assured, it will continue to be, so long as it is guided by the ex-
perience and good judgment of Mr. and Mrs. Boody. The
appearance of comfort and health, which is observable among
the inmates of the almshouse attests the care and attention Nrhich
these unfortunate persons constantly receive at the hands of the
superintendent of this institution and his %vile.
The death of Patrick Hughes is the only death occurring among
the inmates since January ISS2.
Mr. Geo. L. Noyes still fills the position of agent and almoner
of the Board. We can but repeat what we said in our last report
as to the ach°�uitages ��hick our town deri�es from this office.

In consequence of extra grants for Public Library, and to meet
other extraordinary outlays,a much larger sum was called for than
usual, thereby increasing our rate of taxation beyond what our
taxpayers have been accustomed to. The money has been raised
and paid into the treasury, dial perhaps no more favorable time
could have occurred to meet so large a draft upon our tax-payers.
We have not increased our town debt one dollar; but have, not--
withstanding the large expenditure, lessened the *debt to the
amount of almost six thousand dollars, so that our interest ac-
count wifl be smaller rather than larger the ensuing year.

There was an increase of valuation in real estate of $1 25,540,
caused by the erection of Ile"- buildings principly. In some in-
.stances where real estate on 'Main or other business streets justified
it, your Assessors advanced values ; but 'in no instance were
farming lands rated higher than the previous year.
The amount of personal property shows a decrease of$402,350,
owing in part, and largely to the working of the new lacy,
which exempted money secured by mortgages on real estate from
taxation as personal property.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
In presenting our annual report, we have but little to say in
regard to fires, as we have had bpt four fires and five alarms the
past year. We have laid but one line of hose ton fire for ten months,
and hope it will be a much longer time before we have to respond
again. If occasion requires, you will find the department on hand
and in fine condition. The steamer, hose carriage and IIook and
Ladder tract: have all been repainted and put in thorough repair.
The Selectmen saw tit to make a change•in the Board of Engi-
neers last year. J. A. York and Michael Carroll were appointed
in place of G. B• Moore, and Wm. E. Farwell, who had served on
the Board for seven years. The Department feels the loss of
Messrs. Moore and Farwell for they had rendered valuable service
to the town. The new members hope to make good the places of
the retired ones, if allowed the same opportunity for experience.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
We recommend for the use of the Department, $5,200.00 which
will include salaries, improvements, repairs, supplies, fuel and
gas. We also recommend a more complete system of fire alarm by
adding four more boxes, to be located as follows : one at the cor-
ner of Morse and Galen streets; one at the corner of Morse and
Watertown streets ; one at the corner of Lexington and Orchard
streets; and one at the corner of Walnut and 3fonnt Auburn streets.
IIOSE.
The hose in our Department is in good condition, with the ex-
34 REPORT OIL E\GI\EEItS OF DIRE DE-PA tT\IENT.
ception of the old leather hose which we hope to get throngh with
this year.
Loss by tire, $7,200. Insurance, S6,100.
We presume that a lame proportion of our citizens are not aware
of a private fire department which is connected with Hollingsworth
& Whitney Company's paper mill. They have, on their premis-
es, four hydrants which are capable of throwing eight powerful
streams in case of fire in their vicinity. They also have a well
organized company which they call out for practice once a week.
This department is under the command of Hiram blcGlaughlin, who
served so faithfully for ten years as engineer of Pequossette Steam
Fire Engine. We think it would be for the interest of the town, to
place four hundred feet of cotton hose in connection with the three
hundred already located there, to be used only in ease of fire.
ACI NOwLEDGE3lIi\TS.
The officers and members of the Department have our thanks for
their cordial support in time of peace, knowing that in case of war
they will be first to the front.
All of whicli is respectfully submitted.
C.W. BERRY,
J. A. YORK, Engineers.

THE ASUREWS REPORT.
In accordance With the custom of previous years, I herewith
present my annual report, closing February io, 1883.
For subject in detail, I would refer to the Auditor's report, who
has faithfully examined my accounts and vouchers for the same,
monthly. As a rule, all bills against the town should first be
presented to the Selectmen for their approval, and if found cor-
rect by the Auditor, ordered for payment. This has been the
universal custom, with one exception, this year. The purchase
of the Titcombe estate from Messrs. Flint, Walker and March,
which by a direct vote of the town (at a meeting held on Decem-
ber zz, 1882), the Town Treasurer was instructed to purchase
for the use of the inhabitants of the town, receive a deed of con-
veyance from them, and pay from the town treasury to them the
sum of $18,000, and interest from April 11, 1882, amounting to
$18,753• This was duly consummated on December 23, 1882,
those gentlemen giving a warranty deed of the premises.
The town debt has been reduced $5,795, as will appear by the
debt statement, and it will .i lso appear that the first of a series of
notes, negotiated in April, 1878, at Messrs. Brewster, Bassett &
Co.'s, matures on April 1, 1883, for which provision must be
made. I would also suggest, as heretofore, that a vote be passed
authorizing the Treasurer, under the direction of the Selectmen,
to borrow such sums of money as may be required to meet the
demands of persons holding over-duc paper,for in the event of a
stringent money market, such a contingency might arise,, and
there will have matured, prior to May 1, 1883, notes amounting
$13,000.
The sum of $io,000 was paid on the 29th of April, 1882, to
Mr. Thomas Gavan, for land on plain street, as a location for the
Free Public Library Building, and a warranty deed convcyitig

REPORT OF UILD1IN G COM31ITTEE ON FREE
PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING.
At the town meeting held on the evening of April 14,
1882, one of the votes of that meeting was, that there be a
committee for the purpose of erecting a Free Public Library
Building, upon land ordered to be purchased from Mr. Thomas
Gavan. The town, by vote, elected one member, and the
moderator appointed the following named gentlemen to complete
that committee : D. B. Flint, Charles J. Barry, Oliver Shaw,
George N. March, J. W. Coffin, Samuel Walker, Rev. R. P.
Stack, George F. Robinson, and H. C. Derby. Rev. R. P.
Stack and Mr. H. C. Derby declined service on the committee;
and Messrs. George K. Snow and Hiram Whitney were ap-
pointed. Mr. Charles J. Barry also resigned, and Mr. Joshua
kCoolidge was elected a member of the committee. The commit-
tee organized April 25th, by choosing Mr. D. B. Flint as chair-
man, and Mr. George K. Snow as secreta"3%
At a meeting of the committee July 26th, Messrs. G. R. & R.
G. Sliaw, and H. S. Hunnewell, were elected architects. July
29th, llr. D. B. Flint resigned as member of the committee, .
and the committee, hoping that Mr. Flint would not insist upon
his resignation, delayed the election of his successor. Mr. Charles
Brigham has been elected a member of the committee. The dis-
cussion of questions which always arise in the election of
architects, and deciding•upon the material for the construction of
E
public buildings, delayed beginning Avork until late in the season,
and only the foundations of the building have been put in, and
first floor laid. Work will be resumed as soon as the weather
permits. It is expected that the building will be ready for occu-
pancy before the close of the year. The reputation of the archi-
tects elected, gives promise of a building that shall not only
beautify the town. but will fully meet the requirements of the

patrons of the library. The building together ,vith its sur-
roundings completed, is not to exceed in cost $30,000. The
contractor for the building entire, is Mr. David Perkins, of
Boston. It was decided, after discussion of the matter, that it
was important to have a single responsible party as contractor for
finishing the whole structure. Mr. Perkins' contract for the en-
tire work is $26,543• AIr. Perkins' sub-contractors are :
Masonry—C. H. Dodge. -
Plaster—D. McIntosh.

Dese)-lption.
The plan of the Library is in the form of a cross, the south
end of which contains the entrance, vestibule, and stairs to the
0
basement.
The public enters immediately into the central, or Distributing
Room, where the desk for receiving and delivering books is
located. Directly behind the desk is the room containing the
bookcases, tivhich forms the north end of the cross. To the right
and left are the Reading Room and the Reference Library, which
form respectively the east and west awns of the cross. The
dimensions of the rooms are as follows:
Central, or Distributing Room, IS x 21.
Reading Room, IS x 21.
' Committee Room, IS x 21.
Library, o 34 x 48.
The Central Room opens into the three other rooms, with wide
arches to give the building a spacious character, and t6 enable
every part of the building to be easily within reach of the Li-
brarian's eye.

46 REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTLE.
The exterior is of brick, -%vitli Springfield stone trimmings, and
the basement is built of Roxbury stone.
The general character of the architecture corresponds to the
style known as the French Renaissance.
The south front, toward Main street, is capped by a stone pedi-
ment, which is supported by two pilasters at each end, and two
fluted composite columns in the centre. The frieze under the
pediment contains the name
In the easterly side of this wing is the vestibule, at a somewhat
lower level, which is approached by a flight of ten stone steps.
The Reading Room, in the easterly' Aving, contains a stone
round bay, with three -%vindows. In the corner, between the
Reference Library and the Main Library, a circular bay is built,
which serves for a private room for the Librarian.
The Library proper is divided into bays, by pilasters which
correspond in position with the bookcases in the interior. The
roof is of slate, and two chimnevs showing above it, indicate the
position of the fireplaces in the Reference Room and.Reading
Room.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
LATH HOUSE.
The Committee to whom you entrusted the responsibility- of
building the Bath house, have attended to that duty and respect-
fully submit their report.
We decided that the best spot to locate the Bath House was on
the South side of the river a short distance above the dam. A.
F. Baynes drew up a plan and specifications for the building that
met with our best approval and which we submitted to three of
our town contractors. J. T. Blaisdell being the lowest bidder
Avas awarded the contract to erect the building, and the manner
in which he performed his work is satisfactory to your Committee.
We appointed Daniel W. Towle keeper, and from reports fur-
nished the Committee we can say that the Bath House was well
cared for, largely patronized, and that no accidents occurred.
The Committee congratulate themselves that they were able to
keep within the appropriation, and the town upon securing a
Bath IIouse at a less cost than any town in this vicinity.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.
Gentlemen of the School Committee:—
In submitting to you and the Town the :knnual Report, atten-
tion is called to the Superintendent's Report for a statement of
the methods adopted, and progress made in the schools. As will
be seen by the account of expenditures, the appropriation made
at the last annual meeting for the support of schools, has not been
exceeded. The High School House has been repainted, and�new
porches have been constructed over two of the entrances to the
building. At the Lowell School, a new fence has been built,
and the grading finished. In the South School IIouse. some new
seats have been added.
After proper consideration of the matter, se%•eral changes of
teachers were made, to take eflcct at the beginning of the schools
in September last; and frour the reports of the Superintendent to
the committee, these changes are thought to be wise, both for
teachers and scholars. There has been one added to the number
of teachers ; Miss Florence Chandler, as assistant in the West
Grammar School ; and four teachers have been elected to fill va-
cancies occasioned by resignations. ,Miss Alice «'atts resigned
in April, 1882, to accept a position as teacher at a larger salary in
Cambridge. Miss Bertha L. Emerson was elected as teacher in
April. At the close of the schools in June last, Miss Gregory
resigned as teacher of drawing. hiss Emma McLaughlin was
elected to the position made vacant by the resignation of Miss
Gregory. Mr. II. B. Doland, at the beginning of the year in
September, succeeded Mr. `V. P. Hood,as Principal of the `Vest
Grammar School. llr. Ulmer Wentworth, a graduate of Har-
vard, of the class of '82, elected as second assistant iu the
• High School, succeeding bliss Goss, whose resignation t,),,k
eticct at the close of the term in December. In the retirement Of
(; school, ur .Yoxrr.
Miss Goss, the school has lost the services of an accomplished
teacher, and one whose resignation the committee were sorry to
be obliged to accept.
Additional school accommodation in the Centre District yet
demands the consideration of the town, and we can but repeat
the statement made in previous reports, that all the rooms are
crowded, and it seems impossible, in the present buildings, to
arrange for the increasing attendance the coming year.
A two years' trial of skilled supervision of the schools has
demonstrated its value, and, it is thought, must place the question
-of such supervision beyond a doubt. Although the efficiency
of a superintendency like our own, also motives of economy,
malte the grouping of towns sometimes desirable, yet we are of
the opinion, expressed in the report of last year, that such group-
ing of towns for the purpose of school superintendency, should
not be established by laNv.

12 5UPERINTENDE-NT'S REPORT.
Remarkably few changes have been made in our corps of teach-
ers during the past year. «'ith three exceptions, we close the
year with the same teachers with which we began it, although
there have been several transfers made in the lower grades. Fre-
quent changes of teachers are very disastrous to the best interests
of the school, and it is due in part, at least, to the few changes
which have occurred, that I am able to give so favorable a report
of the condition and progress of the schools. We have not essen-
tially changed the methods of teaching and discipline which I
Crave somewhat minutely in my last report; and yet it would be
unfair to assume that no changes have been mule during the past
yca r. It would be quite as wrong to assume that even greater
changes will not be made in the years to come. A comparison of
means and results is constantly going on among teachers. The
reading of educational books and periodicals, attendance upon
Teachers' Institutes and meetings, and the direct observation of
the work of others in the school-room, can but have a great influ-
ence upon teachers who are trying to improve. That many of
our teachers are catching the progressive spirit of the time, is
fully demonstrated by the improved methods which I see em-
ployed, and by the results which I see accomplished. But the
most successful teachers adinit that they have not yet reached the
limit of excellence. Indeed, such teachers frequently deplore
their inefficiency. This is hopeful, inasmuch as true information
must be preceded by a recognition of its necessity. But what
shall we say of those teachers who not only persist in following a
system of routine, but %%-ho fail to apprehend that there is either
another or a better wary. I shall speak in another connection of
the mischief done by poor teaching, and will therefore not refer
to it here, but pass at once to a consideration of some of the work
of the past year. What I shall say iptist necessarily be quite
general, as it could do no possible good to point out in this public
manner the particular and exceptional faults of certain schools.
Special criticism must be made, and, so far as I have thought it
useful, has been made to those who are directly responsible for
the faults.
st*r'rtrrX•1r1i.N;I)E.N-r''S REPORT.
Pri"Irli'y Schools.
I ann glad to be able to report the schools of this grade as in a
very satisfactory condition, notwithstanding the fact that the num-
ber of classes in four of the schools, and the large number of pu-
pils in all the others, prevents the best work being clone. More
than usual attention has been given of late to a cultivation of the
powers of observation by object lessons. Twice each day lessons
are given upon one or another of the following subjects: Plants,
place, animals, form, color, quality, human body, size, and
weight. These subjects are arranged according to a given sched-
ule, and suggestions and helps are given at the regular grade
meetings. Object lessons, properly given. lead the children not
only to think for themselves, but they also give material for
thought. These, indeed, are the chief characteristics of what is
called the "new departure " in primary education. In all of the
exercises of the best schools, children are taught to think, and
they are given something to think alu►ut. In reading, especially,
is the change most noticeable. Seyrral books are read. throu;;h
each year ; not mechanically, as when the reading was confined
to one book, but thoughtfully and I«•ith great interest. As a
natural consequence, good expression is nosy the talc, and the
lialting " school-room tones " of the past are the exception. The
matter read is frequently talked and written about, giving au
opportunity for the thought to take definite form ill the children'.,; _r
own words. The exercises in which the children pyrite an abstract
of what they read orally or silently, are very creditable. I have
found some of the written copies to be as good as the original :
while in all, there is an accuracy of spelling, punctuation and cap-
italization, and a clearness of style that Nvould put to shame the
efforts of many gro,.vn people, were they put to a similar test.
Much has been said of late by teachers and superintendents, as
to the best methods of teaching reading to beginners, and fi•e-
quently their opinions and testimony have been quite conflicting.
All are, I believe agreed that the old A B c method is unnatural
and unpractical, it being generally considered that it is better to
14 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
begin with the words as «-holes rather than -,vith their elements.
The only questions seem to be as to the length of time which
words and sentences should be taken before analysis is begun, and
whether script or print should first be presented to the child. The
method in use here may be called the "word script" method—by
which written words are first presented in sentences, and after-
wards the seperate elements are learned by analysis. I will enter
into no argument here in defence of our present practice of pre-
senting to a child a limited number of words before analysis is
begun. From thirty to fifty words are first learned in script sen-
tences before the book is taken, and I believe that this number is
fir preferable to several hundred, as is attempted in some places.
NVith regard to the other point, as to whether the should begin
with script or print, there may be some question. Good reasons
may be given for preferring either method. I have had, during
the past year, an excellent opportunity of comparing the working
of these two methods; as in the schools of one town over which I
have supervision, we begin with print, and in the schools of the
other, script is first taught. In May of this year, I gave a uni-
form test to the children wlio had attended school regularly seven
months, one year, and two years. The sentences given for read-
ing and writing contained words that all had had before, and the
words for spelling were selected f-oln their regular readers. I
examined each pupil separately, marking on a scale of ten. In
reading, I marked both the expression and fluency ; and in writ-
ing, the making of separate lettevs, and the writing of sentences.
My principal purpose in giving this examination was to ascertain, •
so far as I could, the comparative advantages of the two methods
of teaching reading to beginners, and to see what modification, if
any should be made in either method; but as the examination
proceeded, other points of interest were brought to my attention.
Without giving in detail the results of the examination, I will
note a few conclusions which I gathered from it, and which I
have confirmed by observation in the school-room :
i. Both methods—the word-phonetic and word-script—are
good and natural methods of teaching beginners to read.
SUPEKIxTLNnLXT's I2EPOKT.
2. Good teachers accomplish about as milch in a givers time
with one method as %vith the other.
3. With equal advantages, the writing of children at the end
of one year seems to be equally goad, whether they begin to
write .vhen they enter school. or wait three or four months before
they begin to Nvrite.
4. From six months to one year of time is lost by poor teach-
ing during the first two Fears—that is to say, the average of some
classes of pupils who have attended school but one year, is as
good as the average of others who have attended school one and
one-half or two years.
j. The poorer teachers are greatly assisted by the use of the
phonetic type.
The length of the Primar%- Course is three years. In .t few
schools, I have found pupils who had attended four and five years
before they could accomplish the regular work of the priniary
grade. When this is only occasional, or wlien it is due to irreg-
ularity of attendance, it is of course right, and to be expected ;
but when the larger number of a school are held two or three
years upon work which ought to be done in one or two, the sus-
picion is that some time is wasted in consequence of poor teach-
ing. I am glad to say that there are fe«• such cases at the present
time, and that the number is diminishing by proper treatment.
There are some children whose minds work slowly. and there are
others who seem to '° wake up " a year or two later than a ma- r
jority of children. These we must expect to retain in the Primary
schools longer than others ; and it would, therefore, be unwise
to demand of teachers a uniform standard in a given time. But
our course of study is so arranged as to meet the capacity of av-
erage children, and the find that the work laid out can he easily
accomplished by nearly all in the best schools. \What we really
desire to have the child possess before he leaves the Primary
school is (i) ability to read easily at sight any piece in an oi-di-
nary Second Reader: (2) ability to write a clear and Ic(ible hand ;
16 SUPERI\TENDENT'$ REPORT.
(3) ability to fi-ame his thoughts in simple, yet correct language,
both spoken and written ; (.I) ability to perform all separations
and combinations up to 144. . Add to these possessions which can
be measured, others mrhich cannot be measured, viz : well trained
senses in perceiving the qualities of objects, and an aroused curi-
osity for, and interest in, the world about him, and we, have the
child's 11 stock in trade," so to speak, as he enters upon the busi-
ness of the Grammar school.
Inte1•medi(lte «nd Gr(rmmm- Schools.
There is beginning to prevail a better understanding of the true
object of the t•eading exercise in school, and consequently better
methods are pursued. This, with the assistance of a good ground-
work -,i-hich is being laid ill the lower schools, and a greater in-
terest encouraged by the use of the Supplementary Readers, has
given this much abused I- study" a near start in the right direc-
tion.
In penmanship. there has been marked improvement in nearly
all of the Intermediate and in some of the Grammar schools.
Most of the teachers realize the great practical importance of this
branch, and so tier as they do, their pupils improve.
In language, also, the improvement is apparent; especially in
the direction of composition work. We have rigorously follo,%ved
up the course as outlined in my last report, and, as a consequence,
the pupils are becoming better able to write their thoughts upon
paper accurately all(] clearly. The papers which I have gathered
«vithin two months, abundantly testify to the good work which
has been done in this very important branch of study. The pu-
pils of the Grammar grade Nyere asked to read a story for. fire
minutes silently, for the purpose of transcribing as much of it in
their own words as they could in thirty minutes. The result in
many of the schools is very satisfactory, not only in spelling,
pen-manship, etc., but in the ability to catch the main points of the
story and to reproduce them with accuracy and originality.
SC%PER INTEND E\T'S REPORT. 17
Improved methods of teaching Geography are beginning to
show the results of greater interest, better ideas, and a saving of
time. history in being studied less and read more, is gradually
assuming its proper place in the school-room. These are some
of the encouraging features of our work. Less satisfactory are
the Arithmetic and Oral Instruction. Some of the schools are
most excellent in both of these departments, but in many of the
schools the time does not seem to be profitably spent. In work
that involves reasoning, and an exercise of the perceptive facul-
ties, there is wanting that interest and proficiency which properly
belong to it. From time to time I have given oral and written
examinations for the purpose of testing the originality and reason-
ing of pupils. Some of the tests have been uniform, and there-
fore afford opportunity for comparison of diflbrent schools. A
careful inspection of the results of these examinations, together
with what I have seen in the school-room, leads me to the conclu-
sion that the merely mechanical ability of the pupils far exceeds
their reasoning and thinking ability. It is fair to say, however,
that some of the schools, in all the tests I have given, and in all I
have seen of their daily work, are doing very satisfactory work.
In other schools—and I am obliged to say in the larger number—
there is not given enough training to encourage sell-directed
thought. It may be said that reasoning cannot be expected of
younger children. This is true, if by reasoning is meant a com-
plex process of generalization ; but on their own plane of thought
every child can reason, and it is this part of the teacher's work
which should, I believe, be more carefully attended to. Ignorance
of the needs and capacity of the child's mind has been hitherto
the chief cause of failure in this, as in other departments of teach-
ing. As a consequence, there has been neither a proper kind nor
amount of mental work given. The Arithmetic in present use
contains mental and written problems under each subject; but it
is found necessary to supply problems from other sources. As
the teachers themselves cannot give a sufficient number and vari-
ety of problems for practice and review, I recommend that several
18 SC'PISRIX'rE DE T'S REPORT.
a
kinds of arithmetics, both intellectual and written, be placed upon
the teacher's desk for reference. It is not expected that an in-
crease of reference books alone will strengthen the weak places.
Upon what the teachers do, or rather upon what they allow their
pupils to do, will depend the correction of faults to which I have
called attention.
Akin to the work of encouraging original thought in numbers,
is that of training the children to see, and investigate for them-
selves, facts and phenomena of the world about them. While
.objective teaching should constitute a part of every subject taught,
we have found it well to set apart a certain time in the week in
which the attention of pupils is directed solely to the study of
objects, with the view of training the children's powers of obser-
vation, and at the same time furnishing the necessary stimulus
and knowledge for a subsequent study of science. In the Inter-
mediate schools, object lessons in botany, mineralogy, and zo-
ology are pursued, building upon the knowledge acquired-in the
Primary schools. In the Grammar schools, something, it seems
to me, may be done in the objective study of physics and mechan-
ics—partly to prepare the pupils for their work in the High
school, but more to give those pupils whose school education
ceases with the Grammar school, a little knowledge of,and inter-
est in, mechanical pursuits. Thus far little, in comparison with
what we hope to do, has been done. Comparatively few teachers
have pursued methods and secured results in this wort: that are
satisfactory, even to themselves. They find that it demands a
teaching power and tact, which no other part of their work re-
quires. This consideration alone ought to give oral instruction a
prominent place in our course. It gives to teachers a more en-
lightened perception of their work, encouraging better methods
in all the subjects required to be taught. Experience has proven
that the direct Value of oral instruction depends much upon a
carefully laid out plan of work. I am now preparing such a
scheme as will be somewhat methodical, and at the same time
assist the teacher in the school room. This scheme, with the
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 19
books that are now being prepared upon the same subjects, will
give, I hope, a renewed interest in one of the most important
features of our work, a work which will gro,%%- in favor as time
goes on.

Under the head of Special Course, arc grouped those whose
studies are selected by parents,with reference to the health, tastes,
or expected vocation of their children, and the work of these
special students ranges in difficulty from an equivalent to the
work of the General Course to.about one-half of such amount.
It should be added that diplomas are not awarded to students of
this class.
The studies of the Two Years' Course, referred to above, are
English, Physiology, Physical Geography, Business Arithmetic,
and Algebra, for the first year, and English, Natural Philosophy,
English History, Double Entry Book-Keeping, and Geometry for
the second year. These studies are substantially the studies of
the first two years of the regular English Course.*'
The following report of the Principal contains valuable infor-
mation and suggestions:
�t The order in the High School throughout the year, has been in
the main as good as I Nvisli it, or try- to make it. The cheerful
*Since this report was written some changes in the course, recommended
by the Principal, have been adopted by the Board. The two courses, as

readiness of the pupils to conform to necessary regulations, is a
very noticeable and praiseworthy characteristic of the school.
The work attempted and accomplished in the school, seems to
me in.many particulars in advance of that of the year previous.
I am sure there has been greater earnestness. Effort has been
more sustained and better directed. There is, apparently, on the
part of nine-tenths of the pupils, a recognition of what the school
means and may be for them, and in this connection I must say,
that the example and influence of the first class has been ad-
mirable.
There is in the school a class of three, who have been fitted for
the preliminary examinations at Harvard, and it is the purpose of
two of these three to apply next June 1<n• the certificates granted
at such examinations.
In the instruction, the aim has been to be minute, accurate, and ,
practical ; to teach the pupils how, and on what lines to study ;
to lead them to think and to reason Avith reference to the facts and
principles submitted to them, and awaken and strengthen in them
an interest in intellectual pursttits.
Daring the past twcr years there has been on my part a sincere
desire to make the two years' course attractive and valuable to the
boys who are graduates from the Grammar Schools, and who may
not be able to give four years more to study. Hitherto, I have
personally taught nearly one-half of my time in the studies of this
course, and hereafter, in consequence of changes in my work—
made possible by the appointment of a liberally educated sub-
master—I shall give almost two-thirds of my instruction in studies
of this department.
It will be conceded, I think, by all conversant .witli the matter,
that the knowledge of English and Arithmetic, acquired ill the
Grammar Schools—anti they do all the work demanded of them—
is but an imperfect preparation for the needs of a business life ;
and hence it is a ground of sleep regret that so many boys leave
school altogether when they leave the Grammar Schools.
SUPERINTE DEN-t's nr•rox•i'. 21
I appeal to the parents of boys now in those schools, to con-
sider carefully the opportunities freely proffered in the two years'
course to their sons."
It will be seen from the above report that a considerable part of
the Principal's time is given to English studies—a fact which will
be appreciated by many who have feared that the best efforts of
the teachers are given to preparing pupils for college, or to those
studies which are of no practical Value. One of the strongest
objections that hai-e been raised against our High School system
is, that the High School favors and helps only the educated few,
and that the benefits of the school are largely enjoyed by those
who are to lead a literary or professional life. So far as this is
true, the objection against the High School is valid. It is to be
met only, I believe; by making the system more elastic, and the
instruction more thorough. Let the course of study be so far ex-
tended. and the system be made so elastic, as to enable every boy
and girl to receive instruction in two branches of study- that will
be directly helpful in the particular calling they desire to follow ;
and let the instruction be so thorough as to give them a solid
foundation, and we have settled the question as to whether the '
High School shall be supported at public expense. The greater
number of courses -,%•hick our present system recognizes, the in-
creased amount of elementary science, and greater attention to
experimental teaching, all look in the right direction. Our sys-
tem can be still further improved in the direction of thoroughness
by eliminating all but two or three of the sciences, and giving the
sciences that remain a larger place in the course. A thorough
knowledge of one .subject is far preferable. from any point of
view, to a superficial knowledge of many. By giving to Physics
and Chemistry the time that is now given to all of the sciences,
far better results would be obtained. Pupils would, I believe,
carry from the school to their work a better trained mind, and
more useful scientific knowledge than they do now, and it may be
that they would have a more modest estimate of their acquire-
vnents.

paratively small amount of Arithmetic and English with which
boys and girls leave the Grammar School, and he adds the excel-
lent suggestion that more boys should tale the extended course in
those branches which the High School offers them. In estimating
the work which ought to be done in the Grammar Schools, we
should not forget the immaturity of the pupils in those schools.
A boy of twelve or fourteen years of age I goes over," and we
think understands well the principles involved in mensuration and
business problems. But we are surprised and frequently morti-
fied at the evidences of poor training and scholarship which some
practical critic holds up to us. Now I am tar from excusing
much poor teaching and neglect of opportunities which are found
in the lower grades—but when pupils conie into the High School
or go directly into business, poorly prepared for the work that is
required of them, so1ge allowance should be made for want of
development and capacity. A boy in the Grammar School may
labor long and faithfully upon work which he easily acquires two
years later, and the charge of poor teaching is at once made.
There is another difficulty which is not always considered in esti-
mating the amount accomplished in school, and that is the differ-
ence in the capacity of pupils in the same class. Some pupils are
at least three years in advance of others of the same age in respect
to maturity of mind,.and yet the plan of study and size of classes
may require them to be taught together. To give that kind of
training which will not weaken the minds of some, nor unduly
stimulate those of others, is the daily problem of the teacher of
large classes. I frilly agree, therefore, with all that has been said
in urging graduates of the Grammar Schools to continue their
English studies in the High School, where greater maturity of
mind and smaller classes will enable them to do much more for
themselves than ever before.
So far as my observation goes, our High School stands well in
comparison with other schools iri the State of the same kind. In
some respects, I believe it to be superior to others, and yet if
there should be the same scrutiny of details here as is given in
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 23
the lower schools, there 'would doubtless be seen some things that
need correction, both in matter and method. Time has not per-
mitted the Principal to fully mature his plans. nor has it permitted
me to observe the methods employed, or to test the results ob-
tained in this school as I have in the loser grades. I have not,
therefore, criticised or interfered With existing methods, to any
great extent. As my plans become perfected in the loser schools,
I hope to know more of What is being done here, and to be better
able to offer suggestions. What I have seen thus far has been
commendable. Commercial Arithmetic and Book-Keeping are
most carefully taught by the Principal, and the results of the ex-
amination of pupils for college, show that good Work is being
done in Latin and Greek. I notice with pleasure, also, that Eng-
lish Literature and History are receiving better attention than is
found in many schools. In both of these departments, where the
Public Library does not meet the needs of the pupils, it would be
«ell to supply for the school a sufficient number of books for
reading as well as for reference.

The pupils of the High and Grammar Schools continue to
receive direct instruction from the teacher of drawing, the regu-
lar teachers being expected to teach in all the lower grades under
the direction of the special teacher. In some respects there might
24 SUPERIXTE\DEN-r's REPORT.
be a gain, if the plan adopted in the Intermediate and Primary
Schools were carried to some extent into the other schools. If
the regular teachers could teach dra,,ving a portion of the time,
the time and talents of the special teacher might be better utilized
in the direction and supervision of the work. Our present
arrangement however is not a bad one as the pupils in the higher
grades receive the direct benefit of the special teacher's skill. The
features of Miss McLauthlin's work that deserve special commen-
dation are a systematic plan and thoroughness. While pupils
may not with the plan she is pursuing appear to know so much of
drawing as if they were allowed to draw more from flat copy,
they will I believe get more of the benefits which the study is
designed to give.
The singing continues in charge of Mr. Iladley and is in a
very satisfactory condition.
The few criticisms that I have made above upon the condition
of the schools bear directly upon the character of the teaching that
is done. It is fitting therefore that I should say a fey Words upon
the
Luporfittice of Se,c m-hey Good Teccrhei-x.
The policy of the Board has been, and I trust it will continue,
to secure the best teachers that it is possible to sectere for the
money oflcred. The best business houses find it for their inter-
est to✓get and to keep the best assistance possible. And it has
not been found an economical arrangement to keep the salaries
too low. If this is true of business in general, much more must
it be trite of the schools where more depends upon the teacher
than all else combined. The now famous words of Emerson to
his daughter contain a truth -,yhich Nve may well heed : 14 I do
not care," says he, 14 what you may study. I only care to
know who is to be voitr teacher." It is not what to teach so much
as hou, that most concerns the well being of our schools. It is ,
comparatively easy to stand before a class of children and pour
into their minds information in regard to any subject and it is
easier still to hear -hat a child has learned from a book and cor-
m
`UPFRIXTENDEIXT'S REWORT. 5
rcct his mistakes : but such business is not teaching- in the best
sense of the term. The true teacher has not only to know the
subjects which lie teaches, but he must thoroughly understand the
working of the human mind. Ile must know the true order in
which the mind is developed and how the subjects shall be prop-
erly presented to make the children think for themselves. More
than this, the teacher must know and treat his pupils as individ-
ual litlman beings, each being; different from the other and need-
ing diflerent treatment. President Garfield once said upon this
point, 11 The trouble is teachers are chiefly concerned in studying
books, and not to know- the scholars to be taught ; are only stud~-
ing how to use the tools, to the neglect of the important qualifica-
tion of knowing the material on which they are to work." To
say that the graduates of our high School can do all this witliout
further preparation is unreasonable in the extreme. It may be
true that there are some possessed of such genius and tact as to
render special preparation unnecessary. 13tit to depend upon these
would be to depend upon a meager supple. There are few " born
teachers" and e 'en to these, preparation for the profession of
teaching can but he of advantage. It is claimed that a special
training school might be established in connection with our High
School. This would be far better than no preparation, but it is
plain to see that we with our limited means could do little in com-
parison with what is done at any one of our state Normal Schools
with its dozen or more professors. I may be in error but I believe
that Watertown is able and willing to recruit the ranks of her
teachers with not only trained but experienced teachers. The
occasional remark that I have heard of a contrary nature is my
onli• excuse for endeavoring to defend our present course.

llany of the criticisms of the schools seem•to be given without
much reflection. By some the public schools are held accounta-
ble for all the ills that flesh and mind are heir to. They are held
thus accountable not tl\V!1VS fi•om opposition or hostility, but
because it is both convenient and safe to do so. A father will be

Willing to hear the schools which he helps support soundly abused
as the cause of his children's duIIIICSS of intellect when lie would
resent with righteous indignation the possible truth that his chil-
dren have inherited their inclination to mental sluggishness. Again
we may imagine how much more agreeable it must be for a phy-
sician to tickle the Vanity of parents by assuring them that their
children's fondness for study has been the cause of weakened or
diseased bodies than to tell them that the trouble is directly trace-
able to the children's habits and manner of living. While we
admit that there is much thoughtless criticism of the public schools,
we should not close our eyes to the fact that they are not perfect
and that our usefulness as guardians of the schools depends, in
part at least, upon our willingness to see the faults which really
exist and seeing them to set about the wort: of reform. Let us
look for a moment at some of the more common criticisms and
see if they are justly applied to the schools of Watertown. We
frequently hear it said that there are too many studies pursued in
the schools, and that there is too much forcing or 11 cramming"
of the pupils. These are faults which are likely to exist and per-
haps more likely to exist where the schools are held in highest
favor. Teachers and school officers have I think yielded too
much to the popular but mistaken notion that education is a matter
of the memory only and that the greater the variet3- and quantity
we give children the greater the good accomplished. There can
be no greater mistake than this ; for while it is true that informa-
tion or facts are useful and even necessary to a good education, it
is also true that when the facts are given in such number and vari-
ety as not to be properly arranged or.when they are given without
reference to an orderly exercise of the mental faculties, there is
positive injury clone in lessening the mind's originality and force,
and in giving the child a distaste for learning.
The number of studies taught is determined in part by the laws
of the State, and in part by the makers of the course of study,
who are by law the School Committee. The branches of study
for the lower grades, determined by law, are as follows: 11 Or-
thography, reading, writing, English grammar. geography. arith-
SUPER INTI:ADEN'TS REIORT. 2/
metic, drawing, history of the United States, and good behavior,"
and the branches which the School Committee may, at their dis-
cretion, introduce, are algebra, vocal music, agriculture, sewing,
physiology and hygiene. Of these discretionary studies, only
vocal music is pursued in the schools lower than the High School.
Which of the studies now pursued shall be eliminated from our
present course? The " three R's" should, of course, hold their
time-honored place -It the head of the list. Language, or gram-
mar. in which the child is taught a correct and ready use of the
mother tongue, is quite essential, and should be continued.
Spelling must be taught as a separate branch as long as our lan-
guage continues as unphonetic as it is now, and as long as one's
education is gauged as it too often is by his proficiency in this
department of learning. The remaining branches in the lower
schools are geography, history, dranying, and singing. The list
of studies, when presented together, is quite formidable ;- but
when we consider that drawing and singing require no prepara-
tion on the part of the pupils, and tlrat some of the other branches
occupy but a small 'portion of the time, the objection to them is
greatly lessened, while their use will be conceded by all. But in
retaining all of the branches of study that are now contained in
our course of study, the difficulties are not so great as would at
first appear. Frequently a single recitation combines exercise in
three or four different studies. For instance, when a book of
travels is read aloud by the pupils, followed by written abstracts
of what has been read, there are taught geography, reading, pen-
manship, language, and spellinb five distinct studies, and yet no
one will deny the value of such an exercise. I have spoken of
the number of studies pursued in the High School, in another
connection, and therefore will not refer to it here, more than to
say that the possible errors of a single grade should not be at-
tributed to the entire system.
In defending ourselves from the other part of the charge referred
to above—that of too much forcing—our case is not so clear.
But even here, we can sad- with truth, that tyith all the precau-
tions we take, mistakes in this direction must be exceptional, and
28 Sl'I'IiI{1X'1'li\llb:\T'5 I27.I'UI2'1'.
proceed from the mistaken judgment of inefficient teachers.
rather than from a fault of the system. Nor am I vyilling to
place the hlacne upon teachers in all cases where appearances
seem to indicate that ill health is caused by over-study. The
ambition of parents to have their children "get on" rapidly, may
have something to do with the failing health of our pupils,when,
indeed, it is not caused by the habits of pupils out of school, for
which parents are directly responsible. The precautions taken in
our schools to guard against disease of body and mind-caused by
over-work, are many, and in some respects unusual. In the first
place, teachers are constantly reminded that the health of children
is of paramount importance, and in all cases where a pupil is not
doing well the work of his grade, to advise the parents not to
have him do more work unless his health permits. The arrange-
ment of programmes in most schools allows so much time for
study in school that it is rarely necessary to have children study
out of school during the first six years of their school life, and
not more than half an hour a.clay, on the average, after that time,
till they reach the High School. The retention of pupils after
school and at recess, is discouraged. Special examinations for
promotion, which induce overwork and excitement, are discon-
tinued, except for special cases ; and the daily marking system—a
system which encourages " cramming- more than all else—is
abolished in all of the schools below the High. In short, the
teacher is encouraged to treat his pupils as beings possessed of
souls and bodies as well as minds, and there are no conditions of
our school system of which I am aware, that will prevent him.
from exercising the greatest care of them all. The only obstacles
in the way of a perfect adjustment of the Nyork to the strength of
the children, are the long intervals bet,.vccn the classes and the
size of the schools. If accommodations were greater in the
Centre District, there could be arranged a classification which
would enable pupils to be promoted semi-annually instead of
annually. The advantage of such classification, by -%yhich bright
pupils will not have to wait for the dull, and dull pupils will not
be unduly forced, is apparent to all. Ili the large number of
SUPERIXTLNDE\T'S REPORT. 9
pupils assigned to one teacher, the particular needs and weak-
nesses of individual pupils may be overlooked. If such are known
to the parent, he should at once confer with the teacher or myself,
and have them attended to. Every request that comes to us in
the interest of the pupil's health, is at once heeded, even though
it involves some disturbance.
Although much that is said in criticism of the public schools is
unfounded, we cannot deny the charge that there are still weak
places in our system—nor should we be led into the error of sup-
posing that the weak places can be made strong in a single month
or year. Before particular faults can be eradicated, they must be
seen as faults. It is not necessary or well, to lay bare to others
all that we who are so near the schools can see that is faulty, and
yet we may show our willingness not only to see but to correct
existing faults. I venture, in this connection, to speak of the
want of self-dependence which is manifest among the children of
our schools. It comes, it seems to me, from too much assistance-
from both teachers and parents. It is so tempting to tell the child
i what lie ought to ascertain for himself! And we none of us
have come to a realizing sense of the fact that the more we pour
into the child's mind, the less real knowledge he is likely to have.
It is the quality, rather than the quantity. that we most desire.
It is true that we are doing far less than formerly, and far less
than is done in other places, in obliging the teachers to go over
too much ground, and in giving too little attention to proper
methods of teaching. But we must show to teachers that we are '
in earnest when we say "Make the children think more ; make
them more eager to know." Assuming that this report will reach
the eyes of some of the parents, allow me to point out one possi-
ble source of weakness. A lesson in arithmetic is given out con-
sisting of problems. They are carried home, and at once the
accumulated wisdom of the entire household is brought to the
assistance of the child. The 11 rule" is pointed out, the mistakes
-ire corrected, and information is given to such an eNtent that
frequently, although the child may have a perfect lesson the next
day, that particular lesson has been of no more advantage to the
30 svPLRix•rr:xnHxT's RE-PORT.
child than so much mechanical drill in addition or division. I
sometimes hear the complaint from a parent, " I have'to do what
the teacher ought to do." And sometimes it is said, "The
teacher does not show my child enough." \o-, Ave must all
work together in this matter. We who arrange the course of
.study should require less in quantity to be done. The teachers
should lead the children to think more for themselves, and the
parents should be content to have their children appear to know
no more than they really do. It is doubtless true that there are
.some teachers who, through indifference, carelessness, or want of
tact, neglect to give their pupils some needed assistance ; but
parents may sometimes err in supposing that the want of expla-
nation by the teacher is always due to inefficiency or neglect.
A'Vlien a teacher says to his class, "I will not explain this further
to you now, for I want you to think and reason it out for your-
selves," there may be, and generally is, an honest purpose behind
the words; and when one of the class comes home at night and
seeks the assistance which the teacher would not give, it would be
well for the parent to realize fully the principle upon «•hick the �.
teacher acts, that weakness of mind,want of originality and men-
tal laziness come from too much telling and explanation.
There are occasional complaints of discipline, but I believe
that the causes of them are gradually disappearing. The three
;great principles by which we are guided, viz: Self-government,
:strict justice to all, and plenty of pleasant, useful employment,
are having a perceptible effect upon the schools. As I spoke in
my last report of the importance of this kind of discipline, and
;gave full details of carr}ping it out, I will not allude to it here.
It may not be out of place, however, to say a word in this con-
nection, upon the subject of corporal punishment. While such
punishment is still allowed in the schools, it is restricted and dis-
couraged in every possible way. In the first place, teachers are
-constantly reminded that good behavior is to be sought as an end,
and not merely as a means ; and, consequently, their effbrts are
directed toward preventing the causes of disorder and punish-
ment. Much attention is given to making the punishment natur-

ally follow the offence, rather than as has been too common, re-
sort to blows for every serious and even trivial offence. When
pupils continue to be troublesome, blanks are filled out by the
teacher and sent to parents, so as to get their co6peration and
support, and in the most serious cases pupils are suspended from
school. Every time a teacher inflicts corporal punishment, the
following questions have to be answered in writing and sent to
me :
i. Li what manner was the pupil punished:
a. What was the offence?
3. What was his general character?
4. What do you know of the home influences surrounding hiiu?
5. NVIiat other means have you employed for his reform?
6. Were his parents chily notified of his conduct before you
resorted to corporal punishment? What was the response?
7. Has lie ever been referral to the Principal or Superinten-
dent?
S. What Nvas the result of the punishment?
` With such preventives and precautions there can be no great
or extensive abuse of the power to punish corporeally -,vhicli is
given to teachers. In a majority of the schools there have been no
cases reported during the year. It may be asked whether it may
not be abolished altogether. As long as the influences of the
street are what they are, as long as parental authority is enforced
in the manner it is, and as long as teachers are limited in teaching-
tact and governing power so tong must the flower to punish cor-
poreally be given to the teacher. The experience of other places
where the experiment of abolishing corporal punishment has been
tried, fully supports this statement; and yet I fully trust and
believe that within a few years no teacher of our schools will ever
exercise the right to whip a pupil. But it will come if at all with
better ideas of teaching and government and a fuller co6peration
of parents with teachers, rather than from any prohibitory enact-
ment or rule. I do not mean to say that a rule of the Board could
not stop corporal punishment in the schools; but if the right to

supe)•risio'n.
The statutes of the State define only in a general way the duties
of a Superintendent of Schools. They simply say that 11 he shall
have the care and supervision of the public schools" under the
direction and control of the School Committee. In the absence of
more definite provisions and in view of the fact that the office in
Watertown has scarcely passed beyond the experimental stage, it
may be well to consider briefly the Superintendent's duties and
obligations.
Manifestly the terms — care and supervisor" ina), take a wide
latitude and may embrace widely different duties which belong in
different circumstances. Iiut there are some duties which belong
to Supeivision as performed by a Superintendent in no way con-
flicting with the duties of the School Committee or teachers. If
there are few schools, the duties which I shall attempt to de-
fine should be performed directly by the Superintendent; if
many, some of these duties will have to be delegated to others. In
a general way we may say that the Superintendent's duties are
advisory and executive. As an adviser he has to act directly with
the School Committee and with the teachers. In regard to what
should he advise the School Committee? First and most impor-
tant 'of all, he should advise in regard to the qualifications and
appointment of teachers. If the Superintendent is held respon-
sible for results, he should have a voice in selecting those who
are to carry out his plans; and if he is at all fitted for the posi-
tion lie holds, he should clearly understand the qualifications
necessary for a good teacher. As the schools are largely what the
teachers make them, there is no more important or difficult task
in the conduct of our schools than that of selecting proper teach-
ers. Besides advising the Committee in regard to teachers, the
Superintendent should give information concerning the condition
of the school buildings and also concerning the books and appara-
tus needed to secure the best results. Then there should fre-
St:YEIt[\rHXDE\T'S REPORT. 33
quently be given to the Board a detailed report of the objects he
has in vic%v and the means employed to secure them. As an
adviser of the teachers he should not only lay before them his plans
and purposes, but he should indicate theoretically and practically
]low they may be carried out; what errors should be avoided in
discipline and instruction and what methods will best accomplish
the ends desired. In all this he must not only have reasons for
his criticisms and advice but lie should give those reasons at all
times, always respecting the intelligence and feelings of others.
Nowhere is arbitrary dictation and the forcing; of particular meth-
ods more improper than in the school-room. We especially desire
to encourage originality and individuality in pupils and the same
z
qualities in teachers must be respected.
Such in brief are my ideas of the general duties of a Superin-
tendent of Schools. To be more explicit I am obliged to give
somewhat in detail my own practice not because I believe it to be
a model of excellence but because such practice best represents my
present views of the particular duties of the office I hold. I will
first speak of those duties which bring me in direct contact with
the schools and teachers. The course of study is taken as a basis
of work ; but it is found well to supplement it by suggestions in
regard to methods and by some topical details which cannot be
given in a brief course. These are generally given at a meeting
of the teachers of each grade held every month. At these meet-
i))gs I read the notes taken in my inspection of the schools during
the previous month and answer questions concerning the instruc-
tion and discipline of the schools. The teachers compare notes in
regard to methods pursued and progress made in each branch and
also in regard to what they have seen in other schools. Time is
generally had at these meetings to discuss some one or more
branches of study, especially in regard to correct methods of
teaching.
Most of the time in which the schools are in session I ani visit-
ing schools. These visits assume a threefold character: (I) teach-
ing (z) examination (3) inspection. Whenever a teacher or any
number of teachers find it difficult to carry out any theory of teach-
34 yt•r1:K1a TENllENT's REIPORT.
ing 1 have advanced, it is but right that they should request me to
illustrate it with a class of children, and this request if time per-
mits, I have no right to refuse even though the illustration be
never so clumsy. Such failures in practice are a capital check
upon visionary and poorly considered theories. The examinations
which I give are sometimes oral and sometimes written, testing
the amount of thought awakened as well as of information acquir-
ed, and also indicating to the teacher in a general way the direc-
tion which the work may take. Examinatio ns for promotion so
generally considered a part of the Supervisor's work, I purposely
avoid as I do not think a pupil's ability- to go into a higher class
ought to be determined by a single examination, and as such exam-
inations in my opinion tend to restrict the teacher within too nar-
row limits, making him to some extent a slave to the text-book.
By inspection the teacher's work in the school-room is seen. I
make such criticisms and suggestions as I believe to be helpful,
sometimes writing them in a note-book placed in each teacher's
desk for that purpose. Lately I have found it useful to take one
week for a single subject or set of subjects. For instance: one
week I give special attention to Arithmetic ; another to Reading,
Geography and IIistory ; a third to Language,Spelling and Writ-
ing; and a fourth to miscellaneous subjects such as drawing, oral
instruction, memory work, etc. By this method I am better able
to compare results accomplished in the diHcrent schools and
grades, and to direct the work accordingly. ,
There are other and miscellaneous duties which I am called
upon to perform, such as hearing and investigating complaints of
parents, and attending to cases of discipline reported to me by
teachers.
In giving this brief outline of my duties, I trust I shall not be
misunderstood as trying to magnify their importance. I give
them for the sole purpose of allowing those who may take the
trouble to read this report, an opportunity of judging NN-liether the
service is a profitable one.

TRUSTEES' REPORT,
In a reviewal of the history of the internal a$airs of the Li-
brary for its fifteenth year, the trustees find nothing remarkable to
report upon. The same energy and active interest in its care and
preservation has been evinced by the librarian in(] his assistants,
as in previous years. As the number of books increases year by
year, their labors in their care and distribution have proportionally
increased, and as the circulation has been much greater the past
year, and a larger number of books than usual has required new
covers, owing to the careless handling of takers, the labor in this
direction has been sensibly increased. In this latter connection,
it is eminently proper to acknowledge the valuable gift fi-o n the
Hollingsworth & Whitney Company, of two large rolls of paper
for covers. The generosity of this newly formed corporation in
this instance, is only equalled by that of their predecessors in
business, tvho were ever ready to keep the library supplied Nvith
this useful article without cost to the town.
The accessions for the year by purchase and gift, aggregate 98o
volumes ; 311 of which number were from Mrs. Lucy W. Tit-
combe, who has always taken a lively interest in the prosperity of
our library, manifested by her fi-equent contributions of books
and money, which she has generously bestowed.
There have been no contributions of money for the purchase of
books during the year, which we regret to report.
The trustees have continued the policy inaugurated some years
since, of having the periodicals and pamphlets placed in it bound
form upon the shelves. This course makes them more accessible
to readers, and tends to their preservation. A large number of
periodicals will be ready to be placed in. the binder's hands so
soon as odd numbers and volumes can be found to complete the
sets. This is found to be a difficult labol, and it often require
months to obtain them, and then at a high cost.
f
The report of the librarian contains full details of the nuuiage-
ment for the past year, and upon reference to Appendix No. I,
the rapid growth of the library is observable.
In our last report we narrated the action of the board in ob-
taining subscriptions towards the erection of a fire-proof building;
for the library. As everything pertaining to this matter should
be put in a form for historical record, we give a resume of the
work done since then. In that report we stated that the subscrip-
tions ,made Nvere intended for the purchase of land belonging to
the First Parish, as a site for the building, but as so much oppo-
sition was shown to that selection, the consent of the subscribers
was obtained to cover ally other location that Nwould be satisfactory
to the town. At this juncture, one of our prominent citizens
came forward with the offer of a large sum of money if the
building -vas placed on Main street. This proposal being satis-
factory to a majority of the people. it was finally decided at the
town meeting in April, to instruct the selectmen to purchase on
behalf of the town, the lot of land on Main street ov,-ned by Air.
Thomas Gavaii, for the use of the Free Public Library, and to
accept from individuals who had subscribed for this purpose, cer-
tain sums of money sufficient to reimburse the treasurer for the
amount so advanced. At the above named April meeting an ap-
propriation was made, as is well known, of the sum of twenty
thousand dollars for the completion of the building. This action
encouraged and stimulated the board in procuring further sub-
scriptions, the result of which was highly satisfactory. At the
above named meeting it was voted that the moderator be eni-
powered to appoint a building committee, to consist of nine
citizens, to which lie was appointed as an additional member.
This committee, after holding a number of protracted meetings,
has made a contract -svith TMr. David Perkins for the erection of
the building, but which does not provide for the grading of the
land. It has also engaged the services of a well known firm of
architects to supervise the work. A report of this committee
swill, without doubt, b%,published with this, giving an opportunit-
to our citizens to learn the progress which has been made, aiid
TRUSTEES'' REPORT. i
all other matters pertaining to it. It may be Nyell to state that
this committee has kept a record of its proceedings which, by a
vote of the trustees, will be incorporated with the regular pro-
ceedings of this board in the record book of the library.
Having thus given a detailed statement of the action thus far
taken, the trustees cannot refrain from giving expression to their
gratification at the prompt and enthusiastic manner in which their
appeal for a new building has been met, and the generous re-
sponses of its fi•iends and the town in giving the proper aid to its
consummation.
For the first time since the formation of the library, there will
be no special report from the treasurer of the board, as the town
voted at its annual meeting in 1881, that all bills incurred for the
expenses of the library, should be approved by the auditor, for
payment by the town treasurer. It Nvas found to be necessary to
make the usual report last year, as there was a large sum left over
from the previous year, for the completion of the catalogue.
The sales of catalogues the past year have been unusually small,
notwithstanding the fact announced in the report of the librarian
last year, that the old catalogue was comparatively worthless,owing
to the changes made in the alcoves previous to the publication of '
the new one. The continued use of the old one is as embarrass-
ing to the takers of books, as to the librarians, under this condition
of things, and as the prices fixed for the new ones are considered
to be very low, and the expense to eacli purchaser small, it is
hoped for the convenience of all parties'that there will be a greater
demand for them the coming year.
It is estimated that the sum of sixteen hundred dollars, in addi-
tion to the dog tax, will be required for the ordinary expenses for
the ensuing year.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
To the Trustees:—
:—For the fifteenth time I have the pleasure of
presenting to you my annual report of the continued prosperity `
of the institution under your charge.
It will be seen by Appendix I,that a larger number of volumes
has been added to the library during the year r8S2, than for either
of the six preceding years; indeed larger than for any year except
1874 and 1375, since the first purchases were made in iS6S and
1869. Of these, three hundred and ninety-six volumes have been
given, three hundred and eleven volumes by one individual,
namely, Airs. Lucy W. Titcombe. Quite a large number of
pamphlets (2230 have been bound, and thus one hundred and
seventy-five valuable, well bound volumes have been placed on
our shelves.
Notwithstanding this inroad on our store of pamphlets, it
makes hardly any appreciable diminution in their numbers, which
are so constantly increasing by gift and annual purchase, mainly for
the reading-room tables, that the entire number is still above ten
thousand. Constantly are we making cftbrts to complete sets of
our more valuable periodicals for binding, several having been
bought down to date, during the past year. Poole's Index to Pe-
riodical Literature has been published within a few weeks, and
will prove a valuable aid to all students looking for articles
published in any of the periodicals which we possess, and
and will make the completion of our imperfect sets still more de-
sirable. A few more volumes during the past year have been
withdrawn, as having been worn out.
The number of volumes which have received new paper covers
this last year, exceeds that of any previous year. This has
seemed necessary from perhaps a growing carelessness on the
part of some of our readers. Books are sometimes returned in

had order by children. and sonletinics by people Nvilose appear-
ance would lead one to expect more careful treatment. I have
suggested a special fine as a charge for covers, in a fey cases where
readers were manifestly in fault for want of proper care.
At the annual examination of the library, soon after the first of
January, 73i volumes Avere not found on the shelves. These
were afterwards all accounted for except one. Also one volume
charged to a young man who has disappeared from town during
the past year, has not yet been obtained.
Several volumes have been replaced by persons Nvho had ac-
cidentally injured or lost them.
The extent of the circulation for the last year is greater than
since 1879, Nvllen it was about one thousand volumes more, and
has been exceeded only twice besides, namely, in 1876, and in
1877. In the best year we have ever had, the circulation averaged
only eight or nine volumes daily,more than during the year just
ended. As to the character of the circulation, eve can say that
the proportion of the more substantial works is improving. 13y
changes in arrangement, all the more popular books for children
have been put together in alcove 2, with works of fiction, even
though they be intended to introduce the child to the interesting
facts of science, or to awaken a love in his mind for history, or
the other useful branches of our literature. With this arrange-
ment, the proportion of volumes taken from this alcove has been
only 65 per cent. You understand better than the majority of our
people, what means are taken to advertise every new work of fic-
tion, or every book the sale of which can be forced up among
the tens of thousands, while books of far greater Value, which
are not intended to amuse or startle by their thrilling incidents,
arc left to make their way as they may. Books of a higher class
of literary merit, or books which are produced to meet the wants
of minds already awake with interest in every- subject of human
weal, are necessarily limited in their circulation to those prepared
for' them. There are many which are fitted to awaken in their
readers wholesome feelings, and longings for real progress. The
few must lead, the m:uly must follow. The works of real thinkers

and workers are accessible if sought for. The library should
furnish such, should seek to give all that is best ill science, I wish
I might add something of the best in art. Thus we might hope
11�to enlist the young as workers in the grand and earnest and up-
ward movement of the age which. while it demands higher and
fuller personal instruction and endownlent, will by calling for
greater personal sacrifices lift the whole future of society upon a
higher plane of thought and life.
It is no mean work in which the library is engaged. Our
efforts may be misunderstood, our selections may not be the
wisest. The short sightedness or narrow selfish interests of the
busy many may keep them from the best things, old habits may
prove too strong in chaining their minds to the regular routine of
ordinary life, but all this will be improved as we go on. All wish
for their children .vho «ill come after them the means and the
opportunities for that furnishing of the mind. that kindling of the
spirit which comes from accquaintance and companionship with
the best minds.
You have been very careful in the selection of books, but the
taste of the great mass of our readers does not keep pace with the
material which you put upon the shelves. What can we do to
show people how great enjoyment, what valuable and entertaining
instruction, then' leave uncalled for. While our circulation is
large for a toNvli of the size of ours. in comparison with other towns
and cities. we know that the library is used by not every family
NVh() \VOLlld profit by it, nor is the best book the one most sought
for. :\t the last examination of the library in January of this
year. it seemed almost sad that so large a proportion of the best
books were resting quietly on the shelves instead of being in the
hands of those who might profit so nn►ch by their use.
With better means to show our books. with more space and �
more time to devote to this work, I can see hoxv in many ways
we might be of more real service to this comunity in making the
library more sueful. Scholars do not need special help after
catalogues have been prepared and the books have been well
arranged, for they can find any of the contents of the library at

their pleasure ; but one funiliar Nvith the library may be of great
service to those who are seeking for information and are not yet
familiar with the best mines or reins of the sought for materials.
You may assure our readers that it ought to be and we hope to
show that it is the greatest pleasure of m}- assistants and myself
to give personal assistance in this direction to all %vho call for or
need it.
We have looked forward with longing eyes for several years to
the possession of a proper building for the use of this library.
Will you allow me, through you, to thank all those who, in answer
to appeals either personal,or made through these annual reports or
in other ways, have responded so generously, so nobly, that if out-
library is not soon provided with a buil(ling that may be pointed
to as a model of convenience for all the business of a public
library, arranged and adorned in simple and good taste, it will
not be their fault nor the fault-of the publie sentiment of this com-
munity. The eyes of a multitude hungry for the advantages of
huCh in institution are daily upon the builders, other communities
-Vvatching and aiding the growth of public libraries are watching
our builders, and we hope to see within the coming year the work
completed. We have the advantage of all done so far in this
kind of building. May the result prove that those who direct our
builders arc like Longfellow's liaster ship builder.
"For his heart was in his work, and the heart
Uiveth grace unto every Art."
And unlike the lofty and showy and misshapen and ill adapted
structures which have in the past too often been put up, with no
reference to the use to which th( v are to be put, may ours prove

AW
REPORT OF 11'I1L LIBRARIAN.
Much is being done to help the young form good habits of
reading and to direct them to helpful books. Mr. John T.
Prince, who, besides f"Ifrlling the duties of superintendent of
schools, both in this town. and in Walth<un, serves on the board
of trustees for the Free Public Library of Waltham; has been
instumental in preparing a catalogue of considerable extent for
the children of Waltham. This catalogue contains the titles and
numbers of such of the books of their library as in his opinion.
and also in the opinion of several critics Nyhonl he has consulted,
may be used with safety and Nvith profit by the children of t11e
public schools. This is an earliest and an honest attempt to meet
the difficulties which beset this subject. We have an opporhlnity
to try whether this mode of operation is helpfill or not, and at
small expense of money or labor. I have suggested that the
teachers of our schools be furnished with these catalogues, also
that several copies be furnished to the library to be prepared for
our use by writing opposite the titles the numbers which the cor-
responding books bear on our shelves, so that any book called for
from this catalogue can at once be found. It would he well also
if the parents were furnished with copies which would help their
to .help their children in the choice of books. If all interested
should unite their efforts to lead children to read books in which •
they would be greatly interested, and also by which they will be
greatly benefited, people would begin to see what a power for
good a public library might be in a community.
You may say that this would involve labor, thoughtfulness on
the part of both parents and teachers ; that it -,yould call for a
larger knowledge of books than most people possess ; that it
would call for the expenditure of considerable time to keep up
with the constantly increasing issue of new books. I will allow
that no teacher could hope to satisfy the demands of her forty pu-
pils by a few minutes search through a catalogue of books which
she had never read, that an occasional afternoon or evening
among the books at the library would be better; but, of course,
all must understand that the combined labors are needed of those

and those whose business it is to kno« the pupils, direct their
studies, and watch the effects upon the Furious pupils who look
to them for guidance.
The lists of childrens books which I understand -,were a few
years ago posted in the different schools, copies of which have
certianly hung in the library within the reach of all, .contained
titles of several hundred excellent books. We were at consider-
able trouble and expense to obtain many of these books which
were not formerly on our shelves. It will be remembered that
we have spoken very hopefully of the good that would result from
the selection of so valuable books by our pupils. The attention
c of teachers was called to them by the School Committee in public
reports read by all the parents who would from their 'interest in
their children desire to have them take advantage of these great
helps. But from some cause or other the plan has not produced,
so far as we call see, any very marked results. My assistants are
not aware that there has been any appreciable increase in the de-
mand for those books, except it be in the class of fiction. The
smaller children have found here a mine of good stories which
they can enjoy. It is true that hardly sufficient time has elapsed to
enable us to see just what the effects may be. We must allow that
it takes time for any considerable number of people so preoccupied
as are ours in this busy age, to find their help and their enjoyment
in books that are new or to lead their children thereto. These con-
siderations or others that these may suggest, may account for the
small degree of success in this experiment and lead to more earnest
or more wisely directed efforts in the future on the part of all who
have influence with the young- I do not wish to say too much on
this subject, but would it not be wise for those in authority and in
places of supposed influence to see whether under this exhila-
rating air of freedom the young may seek to avoid the things ad-
vised and seek the things forbidden, so that an expurgated cata-
logue may become a catalogue neglected.
Are our Sunday School teachers sufficiently awake to the
importance of supplying the minds of the young with the best
mental food ! Are they all doing what they can to lead the
REPORT OIL TILE LIBRARIAN. 15
young to the best books. We have heard of one Sunday school
superintendent who prepared for his pupils lists of books in the
public library -which would help in the preparation of Sunday
school lessons. We should be glad to make an appointment with
any -superintendent to sliow- him and his .teachers a large table
full of books bearing on the geography, history, or antiquities of
Bible lands, or Bible dictionaries or commentaries on the text of
the Bible, fi-om which any might select something of use or inter-
est. There is much furnisl.ed to the young which if not actually
pernicious, is vapid, characterless, and destructive of valuable
time. The young are robbed of their precious moments by worth-
less trash.
What is the remedy? Some of the best minds of this age are
at work producing wholesome books of the best duality. There
never has been a time when so good and sQ attractive books have
been produced. And well is it, for there is need. We have in
our own community the active agent of a society whose lofty and
beneficent purpose alone can ennoble the handling of the vilest of
the vile. Ask him what is prepared for the minds of our chil-
dren. See what forces are brought to bear to increase the sale by
making more attractive the literature that festers xvith the ills of
the unnamable regions below.
The public library supported for the public good and directed
and managed for the public good, ought to have the hearty co-op-
eration of every well wisher of his kind. The invigorating and
wholesome freedom of every true and healthful book like the clear
air from our hills and mountains burns up the useless waste of
our crowded life, and as the one dissipates the lifeless air in
which pestilence may lurk, so the other rouses to that healthy ae-
tivity of mind and heart that leave no open door for broods of
unnumbered ills.
With this or that appliance, or without, to aid us in the noble
purpose which alone gives us life, let all unite to make the en-
trance of this institution into its new building the present year the
beginning of a new era of helpful activity. ' May the building be
a model of all that is of use in arranging and displ.1ving properly

what Nve may obtain of the varied resources of our best literature
and that which expresses the spirit of our highest art. Then with
the united efforts of all right minded people, with sonic sacrifice
of individual interests and personal peculiarities, we may in this
town begin to make the public library what Horace Mann saw it
capable of becoming, the people's university.
All of which is most respectfinlly submitted,
SOILON F. WHITNEY, Librarian.
