In addition to the customary routine of municipal business, and the regular demands of established departments, your Selectmen have been required to give care and attention to various other subjects affecting the welfare of the town, some of which, it may be hoped, will soon cease to engross the time of its officers, or exhaust the patience of its citizens. Conspicuous among these, and the earliest to engage our attention, was the petition of a portion of the inhabitants living on the south side of the river for a D I V ISION, OF THE TOWN and the annexation of that portion to the city of Newton. Your interests were zealously defended before the committee by able counsel, and we should not be unmindful of the obligation due the chairman of the former Board of Selectmen, whose con- stant presence and advice was of great benefit and assistance. Very gratifying also was the daily attendance at the hearings of many of our leading citizens, showing marked contrast to the apathy of most of the petitioners. So complete a defeat as a unanimous rejection would, it might seem, have proved discouraging to future effbrts, yet it is to be regretted that a similar movement, much feebler in its following, will again demand our vigilance. Particular consideration has been given this year, as in the past, to that section of the town, to give to it the same advantages in all respects in the matter of roads and sidewalks, schools, police, etc., as to the centre of the town itself, and it is difficult to discover upon what grievances an argument for the further dis- turbance of the integrity of the town can be made. '8 SELECTMEN 7S REPORT. WATERTOWN !WATER SUPPLY COMPANY. This company having complied with the terms of its agreement (See Report of 1885, pages 13 to ig, inclusive), its four- teen miles of pipe having been laid and furnished with the requisite number of hydrants, the Board made a general inspec- tion in the spring, visiting the various parts of the town and test- ing at random a large number of hydrants. The results as to force and quantity of water were most gratifying and satisfactory, exceeding our expectations, in consideration of which the contract was declared accepted on the first day of April, 1885, from which time the indebtedness of the town for use of the hydrants is dated. There were at that time 135 hydrants. During the summer there were various applications for the extension of the pipes in different localities, and on the 23d of September, 1885, the Selectmen ordered the laying of about twjo miles of additional pipe, as follows: Through Howard street to Main street, and thence to Waltham line. On Russell avenue to line of Trask's estate. Through Walnut street to Arsenal street, and over a portion of the latter. Through School street to estate of Ralph Warner. Through Forest street, from Summer to Fayette street. These extensions will lead to the increase of hydrants at the rate of 10 to the mile, making 20 in all. When the above work, as ordered, shall have been completed and accepted, the annuA expense to the town for hydrant service, until further extension. will be as follows: Original agreement. $6.000 oo 20 additional hydrants, at $35 each. joo 00 Total, $6,700 00 The trenches where pipes had been laid, piled up as they were with the material excavated, were sources of considerable annoy- SELECTMEN REPORT. 9 once to vehicles and foot travel, and required much time to settle before being ready for leveling and grading. An agreement was made on the 25th day of June, 1885, be- tween the Water Company and Selectmen, by which, upon the payment of $i,000.00. the town would relieve the company fi-om the further necessity of putting the said wort: in order. (See Auditor's Report.) Of this sum the Superintendent of Streets leas expended $734.23- (See his Report.) It should be understood, however, that the payment of the above sum does not relieve the «'ater Company from the neces- sity of putting in perfect repair such streets as have been dis- turbed by them in the laying of additional pipes ordered by the town during the present season to the extent of about two miles. W.UITL'S 9.VE4 NUI: BRIDGE.. A contract was made with Thomas Gavin on the i 2th day of October, 1885, to build a bridge over the Fitchburg Railroad at White's avenue and grade the approaches thereto. This was done in conformity with the vote of the town in meeting the c jth .day of September, 1885. It was expected that with favorable conditions it would have been possible to get the foundations for both abutments in before winter, which would have assured its completion by this date, but the contractor upon this bridge, as well as the one on the crossing above, which is now being put in at the expense of the Fitchburg Railroad Company. has encountered much difficulty from water as Nvell as %weather. One abutnicnt has been finished ready for the superstructure, and the foundations of the opposite side are commenced. A con- siderable portion of the grading has been done. With favorable weather rapid progress should now be made, and it may reasonably be expected to be ready for the bridge early in April. . STREET DEPARTMENT. No new streets have been laid out this year. 10 SELECTMEN'S REPORT. An extension of Garfield street for a distance of about seven hundred feet was accepted in town meeting. There will be presented applications for the laying out of Forest street, and also of Riverside place ; also for the extension of Favette street to Forest street. The building of the great conduit through the entire length of the town for the city of Cambridge, and the laying of our own Water Company's pipes through more than sixteen miles of streets, have sadly demoralized their condition, and however good and well meaning the disposition of these corporations and their contractors, it is practically impossible that they should have been able to restore at once the complete integrity of such streets as were in prime condition at the time of disturbance. There has been no disposition on the part of the engineers of the city of Cambridge to neglect such renovation, and they expect in the spring to finish anything which may be left undone. C UL PERTS AND BRIDGES. The demand upon the appropriated funds of this department has been very slight, the past year, and called for no special expenditure beyond the ordinary requirements for repairs and maintenance. It is well, however, that the appropriation should not be dimin- ished, especially as at present writing the damage, if any, by the great storm and flood of the loth, i r th and r 2th instants cannot possibly be determined. Some injury has been done to the bridge under Watertown street, below Cook's pond, and it is not improbable that the larger bridges over the river have suffered some damage. Probably many culverts will need more or less repairs. r CLAIMS. There still remains, dragging its slow length along," the question of the Arsenal street litigation. SELECTME-'S REPORT. The final arguments have been made and the matter is awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. A settlement of the Blackington case has been effected by the payment on our part of$250- A claim for $5o has been filed by Mary Reardon for damages on account of injuries occasioned by tidling upon the ice on Cross street on the 2d of February, 1886. STREET LIGHTS. GHTS. No new posts have been added. The contract for lighting was granted to the Watertown and Newton Gas-Light Company. whose prices were as follows: too lamps lighted by gas at $17.75. 13.5 lamps lighted by oil at $10-50. This is a reduction of prices paid by this department last year Of 25 cents upon each gas lamp and and $t.jo on each oil lamp. SIDE TVf LKS. The most important work in this department has been the con- crete walk on Watertown street, from Fifth avenue to Galen street, for which the last year's appropriation was specially enlarged. Besides this there have been laid concrete walks on Garnet. Phillips. Parker and Fayette streets, and crossings on Phillips. Pleasant and Morse streets. The requirements of this department will undoubtedly be met by a smaller appropriation than last year. TO WIV HO USE. It was unexpectedly discovered that the roofing of the Town House was sadly in need of repairs, and a considerable expen- diture was found necessary to put it into good condition. Considerable money has been expended upon it, and we believe the roof now to be in excellent order, and not likely to require further repairs for some years to come. Nw 12 sLLrCTINIEN7S REPORT. The water and sanitary arrangements have been entirely ren- ovated, the Water Company's supply introduced, new water closets substituted for old ones, and a drinking fountain placed convenient to the dressing rooms of the Town Hall. POLICE. The appropriation for this department for the past year was in- sufficient, and while, by the strictest economy, and by curtailing as far as was deemed safe and judicious the strength of the force, it has not been materially overdrawn, yet it will be better policy to increase somewhat your allowance for this service. There have been periods of the year when we should have liked to have given more extended service in certain localities by the employment of another special officer, for which the neces- sary funds were lacking. That the town has enjoyed a year of unusual quiet, and that there have been few disturbances of the peace, and none of par- ticular consequence, has been a matter of common remark, and speaks well for the good conduct and efficiency of the force, both regular and special. An increase of appropriation, if made at all, should be such that there may be a regular officer on constant duty in the 1Etna Mills district, and to permit the extension of the Galen street special officer's service from one to two days in the year. METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE. On the 28th day of May, 1884, by resolve of the Legislature, a Commission was appointed to consider and report systems of drainage for the Mystic, Blackstone and Charles rivers, with a view to a comprehensive method of disposing of the sewage of the large and populous territory having its natural drainage into those rivers. The Commissioners have now reported the result of their inves- tigation, and have made very valuable recommendations, which, as far as they relate to the lower Charles river basin and our own -... �� SELECTMEN IS REPORT. 13 surroundings, are so excellent, it may well be hoped that they may meet the approval and sanction of the State. The principal features of this scheme are as follows: It is proposed to build a trunk line of sewer, located in the valley on the south side of the Charles river, from Waltham to, and connected with, the present Boston main at Huntington avenue- Into this are to be brought branch lines from each of the towns and cities on the route. The sewage would then be dis- posed of in the same manner as and together with the Boston sewage, i. c., by pumping into the ocean at Moon island. The course of the conduit through the town would be from the Waltham line down California street to Galen, thence by wav of Water street to the starch factory, and then along the river bank to the Brighton line. At Galen street a branch is to be built across the river, to take from the north part the sewage which will naturally grav- itate to this point. owing to the topography of the town. The expense of this undertaking, though very large, seems quite consistent with the great advantages to be derived from it, especially to ourselves, for it must be borne in mind that when- ever a system of local drainage in our town shall be carried into execution, w•e shall find it well nigh impossible to devise any other plan for the disposition of the sewage than the one here recommended, and it will be remembered that this scheme and its advantages were frilly anticipated in the report made by Mr. Crafts in tS]S. In the apportionment of cost of this system the engineers have divided the cost of construction among the cities and towns in pro- portion to their population, and the same as to the maintenance. There then remains to determine the amounts to be paid to Boston for the use of its main and outfall sewers, pumping stations and reservoir, and for the maintenance of these works and the cost of pumping. The cost of the sewer proper is set at $i,j6i,000; the yearly charge for maintenance at Sc a,000. The estimate for pumping, 14 SELECTMEN'S REPOII,T. based upon the probable number of gallons to be contributed to the whole system, is at the rate of$zo.00 for each million gallons.

CAMBRIDGE HORSE RAILROAD. In response to the almost unanimous petition of the citizens whose estates are located on the line of this railroad, the Select- men. after a hearing of the case, ordered—as permitted by statute—the horse railroad company to move the location of their tracks to the centre of Mount Auburn street, from the turn at Main street to a point at or near Walnut street. For various reasons the opportunity of doing this work before winter was lost. although the company «•ere fully prepared. It is no\v under- stood and agreed by them that they will. as soon as the weather will permit in the spring. enter upon the work and bring it rap- idly to a close, to the entire satisfaction of the town. CHARLES BRIGIIAM, ) Selectmen JULIUS R. HARTWELL, C of JAMES F. LYNCH. Waterlown. REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH, WATERTOWN, Mass., February, 1886. Mr. Charles Brigham, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. Dear Sir:—I have the honor to submit the following Report as Agent of the Watertown Board of Health. Respectfully, JULIAN A. MEAD, M. D. DR. MEAD'S REPORT. During the year 1884 the State Officials whose time is devoted to promulgating and enforcing the laws of health Were greatly exercised at the prospect of the appearance of cholera within the limits of our State. Circulars were sent to the authorities of the cities and towns, earnestly advising that each city and town should be put in a sanitary condition so that cholera could not obtain a foothold, should it elude the cordo?i sanitaire established to prevent its introduction. In compliance with advice from so high authority in all matters pertaining to health, and with the hope of securing a higher standard of public health, it was decided to make an house-to-house inspection with the object—as expressed in a circular issued at the time—of locating and removing con- , ditions of filth and dirt detrimental to the public health, and favorable to the propagation of cholera, and other contagious diseases. This inspection should have begun in May. and ended in June; but. owing to the delays incident to a new undertaking, the work did not begin until June. It was thought best on account of the limited time at our disposal, and the lack of an appropriation to t f 16 REPORT OF BOARD OF IIEALTII. meet the expense of the inspection, to turn our attention to such parts of the town as by location, or for other reasons, would be most likely to be benefited by an inspection. About one-half of the houses in the Town, including every house on the " South Side," were carefully inspected. There were found sixty-one overflowing stinking vaults; twenty-three cesspools in bad condition; twenty-seven untrapped waste pipes, and twenty-seven imperfect leaky soil,and sink pipes. In addiCon, the location of eight vaults—two being in the cellar and the oth- ers a few feet from the kitchen stove—was change(]. Ln not a few instances the waste water from the sink ran directly on the ground ; in all such cases, where a nuisance existed or threatened, a cesspool was built. Among the cases of bad plumbing that were found, two were dangerously imperfect. In both cases when the water closet handle was lifted, the nasty contents of the waste pipe from the water closet oozed up through the waste pipe of the bath tub, and were discharged into the bath tub. No wonder that a bad smell pervaded the houses, and that three per- sons (lied in one, and that sickness existed in the other. The inspection showed that, as a rule, the importance of havill cellars dry, clean and well ventilated is not appreciated. 'Many cellars contained decayed vegetable matter, and I recall two cel- lars that were used as henneries. Both branches of Treadaway brook have been, and still are, to a certain extent, used as a common sewer. This can be done with impunity when the water is high ; but during the warm months when little or no water runs, such practice becomes a menace to the public health. Both branches were thoroughly cleaned, and the worst sources of pollution were, to a certain ex- tent, abated. Since the introduction of water the use of many wells has been discontinued. Those that still remain in the thickly settled part of the Town are exposed each year to a greater risk of pol- lution, and their use should be discontinued as soon as possible. The plumbing in the Town Ball, that had been a source of in- IMPORT OF BOARD OF IIFALTII. 17 noyance, has been thoroughly overhauled, and is, at present, in a sanitary condition. The rule prohibiting the keeping of swine in the thickly settled part of the Town without a license was not enforced as it should be nest year. Wherever, however, a nuisance existed the swine were removed. An investigation, on the part of the School Committee, to ascer- tain if the l.k%v relating to vaccination had been complied with, disclosed the fact that about ten per cent. of the school children had never been vaccinated. About seventy children were vac- cinated at the expense of the town, as provided for in Chap. So, Sec- $3 of the Public Statutes. The health of the Town has been very good during the last six months. How much credit for so desirable a condition of health belongs to the work that forms the subject of this report cannot be definitely estimated ; that it contributed in no small degree will be admitted, I think, by the most sceptical. Certainly, those who are most conversant with the work done and left undone, will testify to the necessity for its continuance. The growth of your Board of Health has been retarded, and its usefulness impaired by a lack of financial support, obliged to subsist on the charity of other departments, it has failed to do all that it could have clone with a less precarious support. The usefulness of a board of health is not confined to abating nuisances. It lays claim to greater usefulness as a public educator by intelligently diffusing the laws of hygiene which,when known and obeyed, add greatly to the welfare and happiness of a com- munity. I earnestly recommend that a separate board of health be created at the next Annual Meeting. and that a sum.—say $350, be appropriated for its maintenance. Af REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

By amount paid for 131 trees, $131 00 k c << 11 12o protectors, 144 00 •• Highway Department, labor, 159 77 By amount paid for loam, 21 00 '° 4< sundry items, 16 65 balance Bills Rec.. $51.25 Cash, 71.65 I22 90 $595 32 The number of trees planted this year was 131 against 162 last year. The decrease was oaring partly to the enhanced cost of the trees to abuttors, and partly to the fact that the society was re- stricted to confining its operations to accepted streets. Larger and better trees being furnished this year, the cost per TOWN 131PROVEMENT SOCIETY�S REPORT. tree (including planting and protection), was $3.61 as against $2.871 last.year. This higher average cost was partly due also to the nature of the soil in which many of the trees were planted. The trees (planted and protected,) were furnished to abuttors at $1.75 each, an advance of twenty-five cents. In some portions -of the town, the residents have generally availed themselves of the Offer made by the Society, while in other sections scarcely any start has yet been made. Of the care and skill shown in the planting, there is ample evi- dence in the fact that last year only one, and this year two have died. Believing that the interest thus far awakened .%,ill continue to grow, the Society would recommend the usual appropriation Of $300 for the work of the coming season. Very respectfully- submitted.

SHIPPING. The value of shipping engaged in foreign trade owned by resi- dents of Watertown. is $66.708 IS The amount taxed to the owners, was 11530 00 Leaving as taxable to the State under present law, $65,178 IS The tax at our rate amounts to $814.72, which sum the State has allowed our treasurer in adjusting balances. There are 31 steam boilers of various capacity in operation in town. The value of property owned by the various religious societies in town exempt from taxation, is the same as last year, appraised at $98,7 20. In making our assessment for the current year, }'our assessors annticipated none of the bank and corporation tax, for the reasons, First, the money received from Cambridge on account of the Winchester estate paid the notes of the town that were payable the current year, thereby rendering it unnecessary to provide for payment of the town debt by taxation. Secondly, the order of the County Commissioners for constructing a bridge over White's avenue, which had been received by the town, but not in season to allow of assessing the snm by vote of the town the current year, � the assessors thought would require quite as large a sum as would be received from the State, and to avoid the necessity of borrowing money, we decided to leave the sum that would be ASSESSORS' HEPORT. 49 paid by the State untouched, until the town by its vote directed how it should be used, which the town did when the question came properly before them. In conclusion, allow us to congratulate the town upon the steady increase of building during the past year, showing unmis- takable evidence of prosperity and thrift, and also with our town debt reduced to so small a sum that the payment of interest or principal will cease to be a burden. May we not hope, that. while exercising ordinary prudence, all the reasonable grants of our town may be met without too large an increase in our rate of taxation. Respectfully submitted. Wi.t. H.

The boiler on the engine has been thoroti-h1v tested and found to be in excellent condition, standing a cold %%-atcr pressure of t6o pounds. This is remarka- ble, when we consider that it has been in service fourteen years. A Mayer relief valve has been placed on the engine, which we expect will be of great set-vice at a fire. The line of hose being !r' 54 REPORT OF ENGINEERS OF FIRM DEPAIIT\IENT. supplied with a shut-off nozzle, the pipemen may stop the stream at any time when the engine is running at full speed, the auto- matic action of the valve relieving the hose of the pressure to which it would otherwise be subjected. Our splice ladders being in a very bad condition. we deemed it • advisable and for the best interests of the town to purchase a fifty- foot Bangor Extension Ladder, thereby aflording us the means to reach any height from twenty-five to fifty feet. Hose. We have 4�50o feet of hose in service at present, having pur- chased 500 feet the past year. TVater for Fire Pui-poses. Scarcity of water has always been the one impediment to the success of the efforts of this Department. and now that an ahun- dant supply has been furnished us, we think that the citizens in general, as well as members of the Department, must feel truly grateful, and we trust we shall never have to stand by and see property destroyed for the want of water. We have 135 hydrants in service, and some of those lately ordered by the town but not yet accepted could be used in case of fire. Horses. We have five horses in the Department, all being in excellent condition. During the year one of the horses being unfit for our service was disposed of, and another one purchased to take his place. Ph-es (t)td Alarms. The Department has responded to eleven alarms for fires in• town, and three for fires in the Brighton district. Total losses, $29,515 ; insurance, $22,350, REPORT OF EX rINEERS OF FIRE DEPARTAIEN'T. Ja Fire l htmn Telegraph. There has been a box placed at the corner of Mount Auburn and School streets, as voted by the town, making eight boxes in all. We would recommend that a box be placed on Howard street. When afire occurs the bell is rung, but there is no means of notifying the members of the location of the fire; and when a fire is in progress, should another occur, the Department could not be notified unless a message be sent from the engine house. To avoid all this delay. we would recommend that a whistle con- nected with the fire alarm telegraph be placed on the Paper Mill, provided satisfactory arrangements can be made with the owners_ It could also be used as the school signal, as the School Committee: have adopted the practice of signaling, and at present have to use the private whistle at the mill. Receipts ttnd Expendlhtres. The receipts and expenditures of the past year have been as fol- lows: — Appropriation, $5.200 00 Receipts from all sources. 4a 78 $5,242 7s Salaries. $3.30 00 Hay, straw and grain. 534 02 Fuel and lights, 122 91 Shoeing horses, 107 SS Repairs, J49 2S Miscellaneous, 512 14 $5,19G 23 Balance. 46 55 $5,242 73 Recominendalloits. We recommend for the use of the Department for the coming year, $5,200. That will include salaries, repairs, supplies, fuel, i 56 REPORT OF ENGINEERS OF FIRE DEPA RYMENT. gas, and improvements. We Nvould renew our recommendation of last year for a hose house at the east end of the town. Aclritowled ge me ut s. In closing, we would extend our thanks to the members of the Department, and all persons who have aided us in maintaining the good reputation of the Watertown Fire Department. Respectfully submitted. JOI- N A. Y ORK, BRADFORD HOLBROOK, Engineers. MICHAEL CARROLI., TREASUHR'S REPORT. I herewith present my annual report to the town, as also a state- ment of the condition of its finances and the present debt, which during the past year, in accordance -,yith a rote passed `larch 9, iSS5, has been considerably reduced. The vote in substance was as follows: That the money to be received from the city of Cam- bridge, amounting to $15,000, in consideration of the transfer of the Winchester estate to said city, which amount was paid into the treasury March 24, ISS5, should be used towards paying off a portion of the town debt, viz.. note of $5,000 maturing April i, 1885, as also other matured notes amounting to $7,�00, making a reduction in total of $i=.-oo, as will appear from the annexed sheet comprising the debt. It was found necessary to borrow the sum of $io.000 in order to pay the January bills, as myell as the school teachers' salaries for January and February. This has not been required for some years previous, but was unavoidably necessary this year. though the outstanding taxes will more than cover this liability. A note Of $5,000 will Mature on April j, proximo, for paymentof which provision should be made. I would also suggest the propriety of making an appropriation sufficient to meet all further payments on the White's avenue bridge. now* under construction, $ ,Soo of which has been paid, but in the event of another payment hav- ing been called for. there would not have been funds in the treasury to have met the demand. I would also suggest that the Treasurer be authorized, under the direction of the Selectmen, to borrow in anticipation of taxes, such sums as may be necessary to meet the current expenses. There will expire during the ensuing year, Insurance Yolicies on the town property to the amount of $24,100. J� 08 TREASURER'S REPORT.

The undersigned herewith respectfully submits to the town his report of the Highway Department for the year ending Jan. 31, i S86:— The amount appropriated for Highways and Drainage was $io,000, to which should be added $2,i38.6j for labor performed for other departments and credited to the Highway Department. I would most earnestly call the attention of the citizens of the town to the three main avenues of travel. No ellbrt should be spared to keep them in as perfect condition as possible to accom- modate the increasing travel they are called upon to sustain. During the past year your Superintendent has used all the means at his disposal to accomplish this end, but has come short of what was needed. By referring to the report of last year, it will be seen that your Superintendent urged upon the town the necessity of increasing the appropriation, or of making special appropriations for por- tions of streets that, being badly worn, were beyond the ordinary means of the department. Such appropriation was asked for Arsenal street beyond Arlington street, but it was not granted. A small portion of this street near the bridge was stoned the past year, and the remainder, which should have been attended to at the same time, «-ill have to be repaired this year; and this, ill addition to the large amount of work that will be necessary upon this and other streets, some of which were supposed to be in con- dition to withstand the wear of several years. but which su8ered severely on account of the unusual weather about the first of the year. Therefore. with these conditions before us, I feel obliged to ask the citizens to increase the appropriation for the highways for the coming year. a 64 IMPORT Or SURVEYOR. OF HIGIIWA.YS. The portions of streets that need to be covered with crushed stone and the length of each section are as follows :On Arsenal street from the junction with Main street to Taylor street, about 375 feet; near the junction of Irving street, about 300 feet; east of Mr. Gilkey's mill, 500 feet ; from the crossing of the railroad into the Arsenal grounds to the Arsenal entrance, about Too feet; cast of Elm street, Zoo feet; from near Arlington street to the Stone Yard, about I,loo feet (this piece should be graded before being stoned) ; on Mount Auburn street from Wal- nut street to School street, 1,850 feet (this whole section is badly rutted and worn, but it is thought that one-half of it may do for it while longer) ; east of School street and near to Mr. rrazar's, a piece of about 300 feet; from Bigelow avenue to Arlington street, about Soo feet (this is one of the oldest pieces in town) ; on t,Iuin sheet from Arsenal street to the crossing at Otis Bro's, a very wide section, 300 feet; from the crossing to the Post Office, and on the north side of the car track to the Methodist church, 575 feet; fi-om Green street to Cuba street,about 300 feet (this hill should be cut down two or three feet, though not carried into this estimate) ; from Mr. Edward Bright's to the hill at Mr. William Robinson's, about i,600 feet (this section is badly worn and broken) ; fi-om the top of the hill at Mr. Robin- son's to the Drury place to meet the stone put on this year, is about Soo feet (this section was badly worn on the north side, and that side now has to take the travel on account of the water trench) ; and near the line is a section of 250 feet that should be underdraincd to make a good job; on Galen street from the Square to the centre span of the bridge, about 350 feet; and from Boyd street to the line, about aoo feet. The estimated ex- pense of doing this work is $14,000. This list has been carefully compiled, and while every portion mentioned is in absolute need of the work being done this year, • it will be seen that the above estimate calls for crushed stone alone of it larger amount than I have thought it best to ask the town to appropriate for the entire department. It is thought with REPORT OF SURVEYOR, OF HIGHWAYS. 65 some repairs a few of the sections can be carried over until another year, leaving a sufficient margin to pay the ordinary running ex- penses of the department, but none to use for graveling streets or cleaning gutters, or for drainage, though some could be used to good advantage for such purposes. In this list you will see no call is made for Market street, which was very generally repaired last year. or for Mount Auburn street between Walnut and Thin streets, where it is proposed to change the tracks of the Cambridge railroad to the centre of the street. If such change is made, an appropriation for that purpose will be necessary. The cit%- of Cambridge have laid their large water main through the town the past year. and while some portions of the trench are in good condition, there are others that will need considerable repairs. This will probably be remedied as fast as the work settles. There have been 3,400 tons of crushed stone placed upon the following streets: Market street in four places, viz.. near the Arsenal, on both sides of the hill, and west from Irving street; .arsenal street in two places,—from Taylor street to beyond Pat- ten street and near the bridge ; Main street in three places,—fi-om Cuba street to Myrtle street, near the entrance to the Bates estate, and by the Bangs estate. Gravel has been- placed upon portions of Arlington. Garfield, Jewett, Morse, Orchard, Pleasant, Prospect and NVatertown streets. Sit catch basins have been built as follows: Two on Pleasant street, two on Market street, one on Galen street, and one on Mount Auburn street. The town has received from the Water Supply Company the sum of $i.000 for the repairing of the trenches, and of this$734.23 has been expended. I would recommend that the appropriation for Highways and Drainage be $13,000, Respectfully submitted. C14ARLES F. JACKSON, ,Srrrvevor of Highways. TOWN GRANTS AND APPROPRIATIONS.

In School Committee, Voted, That the Superintendent's Re- port of this date be accepted and adopted as the Annual Report of the School Committee to the Town. Attest: CHARLES W. STONE. Secmtaly. S U PE RINTIN1N DE ST'S REPORT, - To the School Committee of Watedo:an:— GE\T1.EMr\,—In compliance with your request, the Superin- tendent herewith respectfully submits to you—and through you to the town—his third Annual Report. His previous Reports have been in large measure a statement of principles underlying modern education, and of the stand- point from which the educator views his work ; the present Re- port is almost exclusively- a record of the past year's progress, a body of recommendations as to future action, and the suggestion of a course of study for the six lowest grades. The year of which he is now to speak, has been a year of numerous changes. Rapid growth has compelled increase of accommodations, and enlarged accommodations have invited to ae-arrangement and a better classification. With improved facilities teachers and pupils have done more ,effective work. The general condition to-day is one of healthful activity and .development. Note«-of-thy _acts of the Yeal.. Among the :...V t: 4�;Meats of the t%velvemonth it is a pleasure to mention :0.) The change of the close of the school year from March to June. The nlidsuminer Vacation, with its protracted in- terruption of study, is a less serious disadvantage at the end of the year than in the progress of it. (z.) The abolition of the Intermediate grade. and the right- ful classification of the Intermediate schools as Grammar schools y f V SUPERINTE llEvr S REP(>RT. of the fourth, fifth and, sixth grade. The classification of the schools now corresponds to that in vogue in Boston, Cambridge, Waltham and a large majority of the neighboring, towns and cities. • (3.) The establishment of an .Advanced Grammar school. The purpose of this school is to give to such graduates of the Grammar schools as desire it, a year more of work in Business Arithmetic and English, a practical acquaintance ,vith Double Entry Book-keeping, and some knowledge of Physics and English History. (.}.) The gift of names—with a higher significance than the cardinal points suggest—to the several school buildings. " The Phillips school commemorates the Rev. George Phillips, the first clergyman settled in Watertown ; the Francis school, the Rev. Convers Francis, for many years pastor of the Unitarian church, and, in his later life, professor of pulpit eloquence in Harvard College; the Coolidge school, one of the old families of that part of the town ; the Parker school, the Rev. Theodore Parker, a teacher in the neighborhood prior to his celebrity as divine and philanthropist; the Spring school, a physician of note, once a resident of that district; the Bemis school, a well-known family of the vicinity; and the Grant school, the great soldier of the Civil War. (5.) The introduction of water into the several school build- ings. (6.) The reorganization of the schools in the West. At the- time of last year's Report, there were in the Spring building two. Primary and two Grammar schools. Their nine classes of pupils. were massed in four rooms, and were taught by five teachers.. The Grammar school of higher rank, containing all the pupils of four grades, was crowded into a single room of the second story, and was in charge of two teachers. The Assistant did her work *Phillips, formerly Iligh. Parker, formerly South. Francis, formerly Centre. Spring,formerly West. Coolidge, formerly East. Bemis, formerly:Etna Mills. Grant, the new school on the Park. ItEIPOHT. 7 in the basement iu the i,rtervals between the frequent pilgrimages of her pupils up rn-1 two flights of stairs. From the incon- veniences and hindr:, ce, ,f this arrangement, the establishment of the Grant sch,,,,l *111 September brought needed relief. The three highest classy:- k%vre transferred to this new•school, in which —in combination the corresponding classes from the Fran- cis school—they :i rt• rto m taught by three teachers in three dif- ferent rooms. 1'h(• I,v.sviiient of the Spring school was then furnished as a sch, -dr---sm. and. out of the six remaining classes, three Primary an(' t rammar schools were created; and these five schools now the five rooms. The fourth and fifth Grammargrades--tl„• --idygrades now united in one school— are taught by W--, le.wh,•rs in one good room and a recitation room of scanty dims The nine grade, --t i h, West are now taught by nine teachers in eight different -rh-oolh sins and one recitation room. A plan for the separation lof thy• toourth and fifth grade will be submitted in another place. (7.) The perimmcnt di6sion of the second story of the Fran- cis school into ms) t•nient schoolrooms, and the reunion of two unsatisfactory -nl theground floorof the Phillips school into one of the MO-1 Cho mill and commodious schoolrooms of the town. (S.) The reloc:,ii. i --f •ix of the Centre schools so as to trans- fer to three rooms -.t' il,c Francis school the Grammar pupils of the fourth. fifth and 4\m _•rade. and to bring together in the low- er story of the Phillip; : Fool the three Primary schools. By the old arrangement. tlit three Grammar glades—then on the first floor of the Phillip, •ch-,ol—had their recess at the same hour with the high scl: ���1. aml the yard was too small a playground for the four school B% the existing arrangement, the Primary schools—which h.,%a i%\ts recesses in the morning and at different times from the High -.•h-­1—have the grounds to themselves in their recesses. "I' :,r, no \v no interferences of school with 8 SUPERLNTEIDENT'S REPORT. school. and the need of watchfulness over the children at play is greatly diminished. (9.) The addition of the Grant building to former school accommodations. Upon its completion, this house was at once occupied by three schools: the Advanced Grammar school, the Primary school, previously in the Unitarian vestry, and a new Grammar school formed by the consolidation of the three highest classes from the Centre and the Vest. (io.) The employment of the Paper-mill whistle as a signal by which to notify teachers to close their schools on the afternoons of stormy days. This signal whistle is blown at half-past eleven o'clock ill the forenoon, and secures uniformity of dismissal in the place of the former annoying diversity. (i l.) The adoption of the rule that only skilled teachers shall be employed in the schools. (i--.) The employment of an additional teacher to act as sub- stitute whenever a substitute is needed, and to work at other times in the school which makes the severest demands upon the regu- lar teacher. (13.) The preparation of a course of study for the six lower classes. To the individual teacher, such a course becomes guide- book and sign-post, and a welcome addition to outfit ; white, among teachers who arc co-workers in a grade. it conduces to unity of etibrt and parallelism of advance. The course of study at the end of this Report has freely adopted helpful suggestions from other courses and from your own teachers; :ui(I is founded on a careful estimate of what may be—anti should be— accom- plished in the schools. (14.) The introduction of the study of Physiology into all the schools. Ill obedience to a recent law. systematic instruction in this science is now given for a hall' li ,ur a week to all children in the Primary and Grammar grades. Such a distribution of work continued throughout a nine years' course. gives one hundred and eight hours of attention to the study ; or. reckoning twenty min- utes as the ayeragc length of recitatiolis. this plan devotes to SUPEItI TE'N 1)EN T'N REPORT. 9 instruction in Physiology nearly as mueh time as is given to the daily exercises in Geography or Arithmetic during a period of three years. As results of this instruction, it is expected that there will be in the next generation a better observance of the laws of health, a %eider diffusion of effort after wholesome sanita- ry conditions, and a perceptible abatement of the evils springing from the abuse of•- narcotics and stimulants." Recommenflutiwts resimetiity the future. In May, 1882. there were in Watertown 882 children of school age. In May, 1885, there %•ere l.to4. Increase in number, 222. Here is an average annual increase of seventy-four pupils.—or a number sufficient for two schools of thirty-seven pupils each. The increase from Nlay, 1SS4 to May. 18S5, was seventy-seven. In all calculations respecting the schools. whether with reference to appropriations, or changes made or recommended, this rapidi- ty of increase must be borne in•mind. Arrangements satisfactory for this year may not—and probably %vill not—serve for next year. More teachers, more schools, more accommodations for schools, a better division of the year into terms, and a rearrange- ment of the boundary lines of attendance, have become desirable. But it is necessary to particularize :— (1.) To secure better instruction and more uniform results in Primary work, there should be it change in the interval between the dates for first admission to the schools. At present the au- thorized dates for first admission are April 1st and September ist. This arrangement divides the school j ear into two very unequal parts.—one of three months and the other of seven months. The work of the periods is essentially the same. as promotions are made at the opening; of the spring and autumn terms : and in consequence, the April children are either advanced in Septem- ber with insufficient preparation. or held for the whole year with- out promotion. In either case a serious injustice is done them. The dates for first admission should be September 1st and Feh- ruart• lst. —thus dividing; the year. with reference to such ad- missions. into two equal periods of fire months each. -../ 10 SUPER IN'1'1:N DENT IS I11:NONT. The best arrangement for all the schools would be to divide the year into two terms of twenty weeks each,—as is already the custom in manN. places,—allowing a week's recess at Christmas, a week of vacation between the two terms. and ten weeks of va- cation in midsummer. (z.) There should be a new Prian:u•y school of the second grade established next April in the vacant room of the Francis. school. The children then seeking first admission will compel transfers enough from the Grant Primary and the Phillips Prima- ries to justify the organization of such a .school. (3.) In consequence of the growth of the Primary department in the Parker school. there should be an early division of this de- partment into two schools. Iiut there are at present in the build- ing no accommodations for another school. The' Committee can, of course, reconstruct the upper story so as to give room for two. schools, but a better plan, entailing; no outlay for reconstruction, and recommended by tar-reaching educational advantages, would be (t) to transfer to the Grant school the entire upper department of the Parker school.—uniting its three classes with the cor- responding classes of the Grant school ; and (a) to distribute the six remaining classes through the three rooms of the Parker build- ing in schools of two classes each. This plan will give to the pupils who remain in the Parker, building a large addition to the help no%y received from teachers, and to the pupils who are transferred, nearly three times the at- tention they now receive. (4.) There should be a complete abolition of the existing dis- trict lines. These lines had a valid claim tier observance as long as the property-owners within them were taxed to build the school-houses of the districts: but. in the widely difibrent condi- tions of education to-day, they have lost their reason for existence ; :and, like other institutions out of which the life has vanished, they oftentimes obtrude themselves as hindrances to possible im- provement. If they were abolished, children would no doubt in a large majority of cases, attend the same schools as at present;. SU.PERIN .. I.(.,.CT S REPORT. 11 but the Committee would feel :it liberty at the opening of a term to apportion pupils among the schools more equally than they now apportion them. A comparison of the numbers in the Spring Primaries with the numbers in tk �.c)itesponding Grant anal Phillips Primaries brings into prominence the following ditl'cr- euccs:— Spring No- 3, 28. Grant No. 3, 62. Phillips No. 3, $8. .. .. 2. .}1. .. 2, 55- These differences make the \\Ork Of thL' IL-ACI►crs needlessly un- equal, and u►►tiworably affect the qu ►litY (d► IL' Work in the larger schools. Further, in the constitution of the Grant Grammar r school,— undeniably the wisest act of the year,—the Committee found the district lines an obstacle and disregarded them ; in the establish- ment of another Primary school at the Centre in the spring, it will be necessary again to disregard them; and, in the event of the incorporation of the three highest classes of the Parker Gram- mar with the corresponding classes of the Grant Grammar, it will be needful for the third time in a year to disregard them. Finally, the boundaries suitable for pupils of one grade arc not necessarily—nor usually—satisfactory forpupils of another grade. Excepting from the application of the rule such distant schools as the Bemis, Lowell and Coolidge, the boundaries of attendance should be changed from time to time so as to secure a general equality of numbers in all schools of the same grade. (j.) There is at present in the basement of the Spring build- ing, a Primary school of the second grade. This basement is in part under ground, and said to be damp in wet weather; neces- sity. however. compels its use. A different room for this school would better its sanitary conditions. Again, the Grammar school of highest rank in the same build- ing is now a school of two grades. If the classes which will con- stitute this school next September should then number the same 12 SUPERIITE\DEN'T'S RMPOR,r. as at present, there would be in the liigher class thirty-five, and in the lower, thirty-six pupils. The school-room has but sixty-three seats for these seventy-one demands. It is recommended that this school be reorganized as two schools.—partly to provide for the inevitable overflow, and party for the educational benefits certain to follow such change in organization. To accommodate this new Grammar school and the basement school, there should be before next September, either by recon- struction of the main building. or by the addition of a wing on the south side, it provision of two new schoolrooms. Within a few months, fifteen dwelling-houses have been erected in it single quarter of the Centre district. Before the coming year ends, an excess of pupils over existing accommodations is foreseen for the Grammar schools of the Francis building. If the enlargement of the capacity of the Spring school be made as suggested, and the boundaries of attendance for the pupils of its schools be carried somewhat farther to the east than the present limits, it is certain that the question of an additional schoolhouse for the Centre will be less early discussed. (6.) For the number of pupils taught. the cost of the Cool- idge schools is great, and the cost of the school highest in rink especially so. In fact. $Soo is now paid for the education of less than twenty-fire pupils. As long its the building in which these schools are taught occupies its present site, this excessive outlay is likely to continue. The schoolhouse should be moved to some spot much nearer the village, and sufficiently near to accommo- date in its schools the children resident in the eastern part of the Village. The cost per child ill the Coolidge schools -vvould thus he ma- terially lessened, it whole department of your school accolilllloda- tions largely increased in usefulness. and the impending overflow of the Centre schools somewhat longer deferred. SUPERL\'TE`'DENT'S REPORT. 13 The Pilnuu-y Schools. There are now eleven of these. Their changes of place have been elsewhere shown ; there have been but two changes affect- ing their organization. The upper Primary in the «Vest was, until last September, an overcrowded school of two grades. After the removal of the higher Grammar classes to the Grant school, separation became possible, and a new Primary school of the second grade was established. The Lowell Primary has hitherto been associated with a Gram- mar department of three classes. The most advanced of these classes was transferred in September to the Francis school. The transfer was from every- point of view a benefit to the Primary school. Of the eleven Primaries, the Lowell is still a mixed school ; the Bemis, Parker, and Coolidge are respectively schools of three grades; the remaining seven are schools of a single grade. As a whole, they are better housed, better accommodated, and better classified than ever before. It is, perhaps, superfluous to add that they are better taught. But a constant danger menaces them. They are altogether too near cities with superintendents keen-eyed for excellence. New- ton covets your teachers more than she does your territory. With- in the year she has striven—ineffectually it is pleasant to record —to secure two of your Primary teachers. More fortunate Som- erville has captured two, and Cambridge one. Here are tempta- tions for five out of eleven in a single twelvemonth. I-low can Watertown avert this danger? Only through in- crease of the teacher's compensation. Like other professional folk, teachers find the call of duty loud- est where salaries are largest. But the increase in compensation need not impoverish the giver. The prices paid by your neighbors are not far in advance of your own. The experience of the last three years convinces your Superin- 14 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. tendent of Schools that in the six lowest grades—with the excep- tion of three schools—a salary of$450 for the first year and $500 for subsequent years will secure and preserve to you, teachers of the quality you habitually lose. The three Primary teachers of lowest grade at the Centre and the West should receive a max- imum of $J5o a year. Watertown needs to revise her standard as respects the com- parative importance of her teachers. In the six lowest grades, in schools of a single class or of two classes, the teachers of begin- ners and of the fourth Grammar grade, outrank their fellow- workers. Grammar teachers of the fourth grade •'stand fairly over on the text-book side of the transition fi-om oral to text-boot: instruction, and especially teach how to study and how to use books, and thus start their pupils on the self-helping career books open to man." You do justice to these teachers because you make them Principals in the buildings in which they teach, and add a suitable compensation for the responsibility ; but the three Prima- ry teachers. whose work calls for the subtlest intellectual resource and the deepest sympathetic insight, and makes the mostexhaust- ing drains on the springs of life, are not yet properly estimated or sufficiently recompensed. On this topic the superintendent of the Providence schools says The teacher of the child, during his first year in school, should be one of peculiar fitness for a delicate and important work, and should be paid a salary corresp5ond4pxg to the specially impor- tant work she has to do." To get the best in Primary education—and the best only is good enough for Watertown—there must be other things besides a good room, a good teacher, and abundance of crayons and blackboard surface. You recognize this in your provision of pegs, splints, numeral frames and supplementary reading. You should have in addition for each Primary class in which they would be helpful. an Appleton's Reading-Chart, materials with which to teach color. a box of geometrical forms, tov money %yith which to teach the value of real money, a clock-dial from which SUPERDM'E\iViv c CS REPORT. 1:) to teach time, graduated card-sticks with which to teach Long Measure, weights anti scale .with which to teach Ayoidupois Weight, measures with .which to teach Dry and Liquid Jleasure, and blocks with which to teach solid figures and develop con- structiveness. In the estimate for the appropriation, it is hoped $too will be set apart for the purchase of such apparatus. The G)wmm a)- ,Schools. These schools now include six grades,—from the fourth to the ninth inclusive. Reckoning the two Grammar classes in the Lowell as one school, the Grant as a second, and the Advanced Grammar as a third, there are now twelve of these schools in the charge of thirteen teachers. At the East and South, the year has been like former years, but at the Centre and the West, the ad- vance in classification. in accommodations, and in facilities for satisfactory work, has exceeded all the advances for the past twenty years. For the West. the reconstruction has more than doubled resources and opportunities. This is much to say ; since. with every improvement in the external conditions under which the work of the schools is clone. the quality of the work improves. Benefit has already begun to flow in broad streams, and it may be expected to flow in broader channels, and .with strengthening currents for the next seven years. The children in the present second grade will have com- pleted the Grammar school course before the high- water mark can be seen and known. But the things clone are felt to be but a pledge and a forerunner of the things to he attempted. The goal of to-day is no hitch- ing-post for to-morrow. There are three improvements additional to those elsewhere recommended .which might .well signalize the coming year. (t.) An increase in the apparatus belonging to the Grammal- schools. There should he a Bett's Folding Globe in each ot• HIL' eleven rooms in %which Geography is taught. and a replacement in part of old wall maps hw more modern ones. One hundred 16 SUPERNTE\DENT'$ REPORT. dollars of the general appropriation should be applied to this use. (2.) A more rapid introduction of supplementary books. During the past year there have been purchased for the use of the lower Grammar grades, in sets of twenty-five each, 61 Feathers and Fur" of the Natural History series, the simplified " Swiss Family Robinson," ,Esop's Fables," and "Stories of Our Country." But what are these among so many? The multitude cannot adequately be fed on so small a number of loaves. That there may be funds for the purchase of additional sup- plementary reading, the,Superintendent asks, either in the gen- eral appropriation or in a special one, the sum of $ioo; and he asks it, first, on economic grounds. You have a noble Public Library, generously sustained by an- nual appropriations. Yet, out of its growing treasures, not one book in four is frequently sought, because the perception of the good in them and the happiness that flows from them is at pres- ent limited to the few. If it is sound policy—and it is—to spend $2,000 a year to fill this library with books, is it not in the circumstances even wiser policy to spend $ioo a year to train readers for them, and thus secure for them that breadth and fre- quency of use which alone can realize the aim in their purchase? The problem at your Library is no longer how to provide books for the readers, but readers for the books. Through the schools only is a satisfactory solution of this problem possible. Wisdom will grasp at all available helps. Again, the appropriation is solicited on educational grounds. The supplementary reading you already have has clone much to improve the reading of the schools. Every teacher will testify to its benefits. But its greatest benefit springs from the love of books it habitually inspires. The child reads his supplementary books for the innocent pleasure he finds in them. They give his mind an "outing." He does not know—and probably would not care if lie did know—that with slow influence they cultivate his imagination, refine his taste, and widen his outlook upon life. It is a clear case of "unconscious tuition." But the taste for Sti PERWTENDEN TIS REPORT. 17 books, as developed and strengthened by such reading leads uni- formly to the perusal of the best books. The road stretches up- ward. Unabashed and with no sense of inferiority, the child ascends into the presence of genius. He breathes the atmosphere of thought, and of pure thought. Imperceptibly, and through lapse of years, books transfigure him ; and the reading begun by the boy as recreation ends with the man in re-creation. (3.) A first step in Industrial Education. It has long been the aim of your teachers to train the eye to see and the Band to do. Every study has done good service as an instrument with which to sharpen observation, but Writing and Drawing have hitherto been the main reliance in eHbrts to increase skill of hand. This skill so enlarges the usefulness of its possessor, and so con- duces to worldly success and happiness that there is already a widespread—and fast-spreading—desire that the schools should, at the least, teach the art of sewing to girls and the use of tools to boys. Sewing is now taught in the schools of Newton, Provi- dence. New York city and elsewhere. The Superintendent recommends its introduction into your schools with the opening of the spring term. It is assumed that the present teachers in the grades where sew- ing would be taught could carry the girls ••from the simple ° over CP and over' to the more difficult work of stitching, gathering, darn- ing and button-hole making." An experienced teacher of sewing should be employed to give your teachers a course of lessons on the economic preparation and use of material, the order in which the several processes should be taught, and the best way to teach them so that they may be performed with neatness, thoroughness and despatch. The cost of such a course of lessons would be slight, and the children —as in the Newton schools—could furnish their own material. If it should be thought advisable to begin the instruction of boys in the use of tools, the basement of the Grant school could be finished and fitted up as a work-room, and the janitor of the building would be a competent instructor in the use of wood- '. 18 SUPERINTENDENT)S R1+:1'ORT. working tools and the tools of the machine-shop, which every man, whatever his vocation, has often the need to use. On the subject of such an education for a farmer's boy.Dr. Wood- ward of the St. Louis Manual Training School says in substance : Will it be of value to him to know how to repair a window, to solder a leaky pan, to hang a door, to mend his plough or har- row, to connect the links of a broken chain, to supply a missing bolt or nut to his mowing machine, or to keep in order a wind- mill, or a farm wagon? " Says Superintendent Seaver, of Boston: •• The workshop method of instruction is of great educational value, for it brings the learner face to face with the facts of nature. His mind in- creases in knowledge by direct personal experience with forms of matter and manifestations of force." And says Gen. «'alker: ti There is now no place in our schools—or only a very uncomfortable one—for those boys who are strong in perception, apt in manipulation, and correct in the interpretation of phenomena, but who are not good at memoriz- ng or rehearsing the opinions and statements of others. And yet it not infrequently happens that the boy who is regarded as dull because he cannot master an .artificial sti-stem of grammatical analysis, and isn't worth a cent for giving a list of the kings of England, has at better pair of eyes, as better pair of hands, a bet- ter judgment. and, even by the standards of the merchant, the manufacturer and the railroad president, a better head than his master." The A(lmnce(l, (;rw m m(a r School. This school, an outline of whose plan has been previously given, is intended to meet a demand hitherto imperfectly met by the Two fears' Course" in the High school. As its purpose becomes better understood. the school will doubtless increase in numbers and usefulness. 1t is now taught by three of the teach- ers of the Grant Grammar as an annex to that school, and, in the spirit of its students and the quality of' its work, there is found a SUPERINTENDENT 78 REPORT. 19 sufficient justification for its establishment. The first diplomas to graduates of this school will be awarded ai the close of the year in June. The High School,. The success of this school is the success of all the teachers and all the schools. and, whenever manifested in any conspicuous way, is a cause of honest pride to all. and worthy of honorable mention. During; the past year, one of its recent graduates has been ad- mitted to Wellesley, and one to the Institute of Technology ; in both instances without conditions. Another has satisfactorily entered the Sophomore class of Boston College, a fourth is to be Memorial Orator of his class in the "class-day" exercises at Princeton. while a fifth took the first prize for Greek scholarship in the Senior class of Di-mvii University. and is the second bn•ad- uate of your school to yin this distinction in the last two years. It will be seen, if one consults that part of the general course of study found at the end of this Report,—and it is equally true of the part as yet unpublished,—that, for all the years preceding admission to the High school, much stress is laid on the educative value of 'Natural and Physical science. 14 But the attractiveness of these studies must not be allowed to blind us to the need, when it comes to forming a course for the matures mind. of more abstract and complex subjects. The law of intellectual development seems to he analagous to a certain familiar lacy of physical growth in lower organisms. The very lowest, the vegetable, is able to nourish itself on the crude inor- ganic elements of nature; the higher. the animal, can only be nourished on matter already organized by life." Somewhat so it is apparently with the growth of intellect: while the simpler faculties, such as we share with other animals, are able to get their frill development from the sights and sounds of nature. the deeper feelings and the higher intellectual processes can be best nourished on the outcome of the human spirit." 20 SUPERINTENDENT I S REPORT. Hence, in High schools, studies are valuable in the proportion they bring the student into communication and sympathy with the thoughts and aspirations of the race. It cannot be too strong- ly emphasized that man more than all things else influences man. It is desirable to know facts, first, because they are generally useful, and, second, because they illustrate truths and oftentimes lead minds of comprehensive grasp to the discovery of other truths; but science, with its facts and utilities, dwindles as an educative force in the presence of history, philosophy, language and poetry, which in varying degrees reveal and explain man to himself; and, out of their stores of creative energy, plant in brains before unfertilized, the seeds of power. It is hard to make hobby-riders understand this in a limited space, or, indeed, in any space ; but an illustration may help where an argument would fail. For educative effects, who would put the Physiography" of Huxley before the Paradise Lost" of Milton, or the experi- ments of Tyndall and Faraday before the dramas of Shakespeare? Trartsfw-s and ChaitUes of Teachers, and Additions to the Force. Since the date of the last Report, there have been two additions to the ranks of your teachers. In September last, Miss Ellen M. Burns, a graduate of your High school, was elected teacher of the new Primary in the West. As assistant without compensa- tion, she had already taught the children for several months, while they were a part of another school, and had exhibited such apti- tude and fidelity in work, and had acquired such a knowledge of the children and their condition as to give her a deserved preference over other applicants. At their regular meeting in January, the Committee voted to employ a supernumerary teacher to act as substitute or co-worker until a vacancy occurs, and to hold any vacant position until the Committee have had time deliberately and with adequate visita- tion of candidates to fill such vacancy ; but to give to the super- numerary* the first vacant position suited to her training and ex- perience. SUPERINTE\DENV8 DEPORT. 21 As the selection of a new teacher is so important an act, the Committee feel that its fitness should be in no way imperilled by the necessity of haste. In conformity to the above vote, Miss Alice J. Parsons, of Clin- ton, for five years the teacher of a school to which other teachers resorted for inspiration and example, was engaged as supernumera- ry,and is now an associate in the instruction of the Spring Grain- mar of highest grade. The first resignation of the year came about March i st, from Miss Alice I. Norcross, who, by a twelve years' experience in your schools, had acquired a very high order of merit in work. She left your town for a larger salary in .mother commu- nity. Miss E. T. Packard, temporarily in charge of the Low- ell school, and who had won an excellent reputation in the Warren schools, was appointed to fill the vacant position, and the school to-day is in an admirable state of efficiency. Miss Anna W. Packard, a teacher of several years' successful experience in 'Westminster and elsewhere, was then put in charge of the Low- ell school. where she is doing satisfactory work. In June, hiss Eleanor S. Green, who had been in charge of the sixth Centre Grammar, was induced to abandon teaching altogether. Miss Mary J. McDonough, a graduate of your High school and of the Boston -Normal. was transferred from the Coolidge school in which she had gained valuable experience, to fill the vacancy. In her new field, she fulfil• the promise of her earlier work, and easily holds a place among the better half of your teachers. In the readjustments made desirable by the reconstruction in midsummer, Miss Chandler was transferred to the Parker Grain- mar of the lower grades. Miss Ruth IIoward, to the Sixth Spring Grammar, Miss Williams, to the Coolidge Grammar of the lower grades, and Miss Johnson, to the Parker Primar v. Miss Mary E. Madden. a graduate of your I-Iigh school, Nvlio had shown ability in substitute teaching, and had Houle the methods of some 22 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. of your best teachers her subjects of study for a year, was ap- pointed to the Coolidge Primary, where she is now successfully at work. Also in the midsummer vacation, Miss Maria H. Macurdy, the thorough and discriminating teacher of Centre Primary No. left her charge for a better paid position in Som- erville. Miss Lilian M. Stratton, an experienced teacher from the Leominster schools, was chosen to fill Miss Macurdy's place, and is at present teaching the school acceptably to the Commit- tee. In November, XIiss Bertha L. Emerson,a very superior teacher of little children, relinquished the lowest -Spring Primary for larger compensation elsewhere. Miss Viola L. Poole, a graduate of the Bridgewater Normal, and an experienced Primary teacher of Holbrook, was elected to succeed Miss Emerson. and is now teaching the school in the most approved ways. Miss Frances Hawkes, for several years a satisfactory teacher of the Bemis school, unexpectedly resigned her place during the Christmas recess to take a position with a much larger salary in Cambridge. Miss 1Vlargaret L. Sullivan, of the Framingham Normal, was elected successor to Miss Hawkes, and, though as yet in charge of the school but for a few weeks, has communi- cated to her visitors of the Committee and to the Superintendent a favorable impression respecting her methods, her purposes and her power. Of the five teachers lost to the schools in the past year, Miss Norcross, Miss Macurd• and Miss Emerson could have been retained by salaries commensurate to their worth. They were of your best, and of the best anywhere; and it takes years of training to carry even a fine capacity for educational service to their condition of excellence. If Watertown will engage in the exportation of teachers, let her in a wise self-interest begin at the other end of the scale. Respectfully submitted. GEORGE R. DWELLEY, Snf9erinfendenf of Schools.

The following programme represents in essential particulars an outline of the work as now done in the first six grades. The subjects, Busy Work. Writing.. Physical Exercises, Man- ners and Morals, are dropped at the close of the course of study for the Primary schools, as the scope of the instruction in these subjects seems sufficiently outlined. Teachers in the higher grades should test lower-grade work carefully. and, as far as pos- sible, correct defects and supply omissions. On promotion of a class, an abstract of the work done should be given to the teacher IM into whose school the class advances. Yri m m-y Schoots.—Fl rst Year. READING AND SPELLING. —Use blackboard, chart and Read- ers. Present first the idea, using objects, pictures, actions ; then the spoken word ; finally, the written or printed word on the blackboard or chart. Write on the blackboard, columns of words as learned, whether in script or print, adding new words as soon as learned , from these words form sentences, both oral and writ- ten, and teach pupils to read the written sentences ; use and require conversational tones ; teach carefully the sounds of every letter, and the spelling by sound of words already learned ; en- courage children to write original sentences on their slates. The I word-script" method preferred in teaching reading till two or three hundred words can be read at sight. For the three hundred words to be taught in the first five months, see vocabulary. as arranged for the successive months. in Bent's — Ilints on Lan- guage."

LANGUAGE. —Incidentally, or in special exercises, talk with pupils about familiar things, as pets, toys, pictures, objects in schoolroom ; encourage ti•eedonl in conversation, but insist on correct forms of speech ; tell and read stories, and lead pupils to reproduce what they can remember; in all possible ways strive to- enlarge their ideas and their vocabulary, and to improve their language. Teach use of capitals as far as you have occasion to use them, periods uul question-marks. Require pupils to write sentences from dictation, and later, to write original sentences about objects. For its helpfulness, refer often to the teachers' edition of '° Elementary Lessons in English," by Mrs. Knox. Poetry suited to the grade should be learned and recited. See Lambert's Memory Gems." WRITING.—Teach as early as possible and with careful atten- tion to formation, the thirteen short letters ; teach them in the- following order: t, it, w, n, m, v, x, o, a, e, c, r and s. Teach also the capitals A and I. Later, teach the remaining small let- ters. Teach pupils to write the letters separately and combined in short words. The :above wort: is necessary to enable pupils. to write from dictation or in expression of their own thoughts. Teach analytically, and with the greatest care and patience, the five letters: i, u, w, n and in. As this is foundation work, do not advance to u till i can be perfectly formed. Require the use of long pencils, and attend carefully to pencil-holding. Teach 'pupils to write their own names. For methods of instruction, see Payson, Dunton. and Scribner's 1, Handbook of Penman- ship." \vMBER. —Use objects constantly. as blocks, splints, fingers, motions, numeral frames; also, slates and blackboards. Teach COURSE OF STUDY. 27 children to reckon accurately and rapidly: teach counting by ob- jects. presenting in groups the numbers named ; develop the idea of numbers from one to ten, teaching but one number at a time.

The final aims are to upbuild character, to make good citizens, and to secure a faithful recognition of all obligations. DRAWING.—In accordance with scheme of work for first year of Primary schools, as shown in Prang's 11 Teachers' Manual for Primary Grades." PHYSICAL EXERCISES. —At least three times a clay, and when- ever children become weary and listless. Ventilate the room during such exercises, take constant care of the health of pupils, and teach them how to take care of themselves. FINAL SUGGESTIONS.—No exercise of this grade should con- tinue for more than fifteen minutes. Present every thing possible to the senses; at this stage the eye is all-appropriating. What- ever has to be done is learned bj, doing it. PrhivarU Schools.—Secoitd 3'ear. READING AND SPELLING.—Finish Franklin Second Reader, and the first half of eight supplementary Readers of the second grade. Teach correct position for reading, and the proper man- ner of holding a book. By blackboard exercises, teach all the new words in the lesson from the Franklin Reader before the class reads the lesson. Also, teach the class how to spell the new words, and—whenever necessary—their meaning. Encourage the children to repeat in their own words what they recollect of the story from the Reader. In the supplementary work, teach the meaning of all difficult words, and use persistently and per- petually for the recognition of new words the spelling-by-sound" method. Give careful attention to articulation ; insist upon the exact reproduction of the words of the book,—such insistence helps to quick and accurate perception,—and require fluency and naturalness of expression. Spell new words orally, both by sound and letter, and dictate sentences containing them to be written by the class. Teach the ordinary sounds of the vowels—four for a, etc.—the sounds of the consonants, and of the consonant combinations representing i COURSE OF STUDY. 29 simple sounds.

Use as helps in language work, Bent's -Hints on Language," Powell's How to Talk,"and " Elementary Lessons in English," by Mrs. Knox. Have a weekly exercise in recitations of poetry appropriate to the grade. WRITING.—With pencils, practise on paper ruled in five spaces to show height of medium letters, of stem letters, and the limits of upper and lower loops. Teach how to form the capital letters. Teach analytically, and with special care and accuracy, v, x, o. a. e, A, R, _lI T, F. Use for guidance in all practice writing, Payson, Dunton and Scribner's LL Handbook of Pen- manship." NUAIIIER.—Review previous work. Write and read numbers by Arabic method to too; by Roman method to L. Drill on combinations and separations to 5o. Teach fi•actions objectively from 1 to 1-lo.

For illustration of what such a lesson should be. see the — Five Min- ute Lesson upon the Cow" in •- Quincy Methods." DRAWING —Teach second-year work as outlined in Yrang's Teachers' Manual for Primary Grades." PIIYSICAI. ExERClsFs.—Same as prescribed for lower grade. FINAL SUGGESTIONS. —Cultivate habits of observation, experi- ment and inquiry. Next in value to keen sense-perceptions is .I vivid imagination. To develop this faculty, tell the children such fairy stories as 11 Jack and the Bean-Stalk," 61 Cinderella," etc., and read to them poems like '1 The Babes in the Wood." In all the teaching, train the children to think, and to express thoughts clearly and definitely, whether with tongue or pencil. Z'rinta-y Schools.—ThI,M Yeas-. READING AND Si'ELLING. —Finish Franklin Advanced Second Reader, and the last half of eight supplementary Second Readers. Be very careful to secure distinct articulation, correct pronuncia- tion, the easy grasp of the thought, and naturalness in expression. Through much practice in silent reading, train the class to see words as groups. Children in this grade should be able to coin- / r COURSE ON` STUDY. 31 prebend three or more words at a glance. Rapidity in silent ' reacting is as desirable as speed in -,in express train. With pencils, spell from dictation the new words of the Read- ers, the names of common objects, of the days of the week and of the months, and any sentences the teacher may select. Com- plete the third-year work of Parker's — Spelling Chart." By means of a stiflicient number of examples, lead the class to discover some of the simple rulesof spelling. Teach the children to put correctly into sentences words that sound alike, but are spelled differently. LANGUAGE.—Teach different forms of sentences; as, for example, statements, questions and commands. Teach the usual marks of punctuation, including the hyphen, apostrophe, quotation marks and contractions, the common abbreviations, and how to arrange thought in paragraphs. For guidance, refer often to Bent's <L Hints on Language,"Powell's — I-Iow to Write," and •4 Elementary Lessons in English," by Mrs. Knox. At the close of this year, pupils should have the ability easily, clearly and correctly- to express their thoughts on the lessons they read. and on the objects, actions and pictures they see, and to write in proper form an original and well-worded letter. Recitations of poetry, as in previous grades. `111TI\G. —Practise much with pencils on paper ruled as for the second grade. Teach with constant reference to Payson, Dunton and Scribner's Handhook of Penmanship." NUMBER. —Teach how to add figures in groups, ho%v to con- struct multiplication and division tables, how to read and %vritc .Arabic numbers to millions, and the Roman numerals to M. and teach all combinations and separations fi-om jo to 144. Train in accurate and rapidity. Teach common fi-actions objectively to twelfths.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, The constant prosperity of the Public Library is the natural consequence of the constant support it has received. Like the forest tree, given the proper and seasonable influences, its growth is inevitable. And it has no exemption from the same law in the opposite direction, viz., that neglect and deprivation lead as cer- tainly to deal`* and extinction. The advantages and benefits to be gained from the ideal public library that have been so fully set forth as inducements to its formation and continued support, have been as fillly confirmed by actual experience, and the statements have become truisms that are«-eakened by too frequent repetition. It is assumed that out- own is a fair representation of the peculiar qualities that constitute the ideal fi-ee public library. The organization of the Library included the plans and meth- ods to be pursued in its management, and were embodied in its by-laws; which, with the revision that has been since trade,con- stitute the principal routine of its aflairs. The character of the books to be added, the number of volumes, and the frequency of such additions are left with the discretion of the Board of Trustees. This is the specially important part of its business, as the quality of the books determines the character of the Library. It is believed that an examination of annual catalogues will show a uniformity of character in all its additions from the beginning. The general practice and custom that has been followed in other libraries with the precedents already established in our own, and the popular demand, have undoubtedly been the determining influcnces in making the selections. The main purpose of the Library is to furnish hooks to be car- 6 TRUSTEES REPORT. rigid away and read elsewhere. It intends no inducements to draw readers away from the family circle. On the contrary, its best claim to public esteem is its ability to contribute to the attrac- tions and enjoyments of this time-honored place. Since the Li- brary was formed there has always been a reading room provided where those books that were not allowed outside circulation could be used, and where the general reading of any books in the Li- brary might be followed if so desired. This arrangement still ex- ists with a wider choice of reading matter, with a variety of ref- erence books within reach and without call, and with accommo- dations well adapted to make the place inviting and attractive to those readers, who, for the time being, may be deprived of the privileges of a quiet home. The Library has received from Mr. B. T. Foley, now a. resident of the town, the gift of a finely sculptured medallion, the work of the late Miss Margaret Foley, a sister of the donor. Also, a gift from Miss Emma Dana, of a collection of stuffed birds; and one from Mr. Solon F. Whitney, of a collection of minerals, for ,which suitable cases have been provided and placed in the read- ing rooms. Contributions of this kind are always acceptable, not only for purposes of decoration, but may become useful as illus- trative aids in the several branches of reading or study to which they severally belong. A continuance of similar favors is solicited. The management of the daily affairs of the Library in the be- ;;inning was fortunately placed in competent and devoted hands; which same good fortune has continued until the present time. The present librarian took part in the preliminary movement for the formation of the Library, arranged and catalogued for use the first and every succeeding invoice of books that have been placed upon its shelves up to the present time. The present assistant librarians also have during several years rendered intelligent and efictive service, which has been and still is, duly appreciated, and for which they are entitled to the continued regard and esteem in which they have been held by the patrons and friends of the Library. TRUSTEES REPORT. 7 The Library has a history of nearly a score of years, during which it has been gathering the wisdom and knowledge that have been recorded, and have been within reach of its somewhat lim- ited means. Its object has been a still wider distribution of the wealth it has collected. But the means of diffitsion still have been limited, no enforcement being admissible. And however desirable it may seem to increase its patronage, the only in- ducements are its own attractions. If the Library is to be, what it has been called. a supplement to the schools, its young readers- -it least. must have the corresponding; habits and inclinations of scholars with the pursuit of knowledge as the objective point. The report of the Librarian is annexed as heretofore, contain- ing the statistics of the library for the year, with such recom- mendations to the Board of Trustees as seemed to him advisable. A statement is also appended of the library account in the gross, the items of which may be found in the Auditor's Report. The extra appropriation made at the last annual town meeting for the purposes of furniture, water fixtures, etc., has been sufficient for the completion of those objects. For the ensuing year, your board respectfully ask for the general purposes of the library the same amount as granted last year, with in addition of fifty dol- lars to the amount for fuel, Viz. :For general purposes. $2,500 00 Fuel, 200 00 $a.700 00 and dog tax.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 7o the Trustees:— Gentlemen,—In accordance with the requirement of Article IX of the rules and regulations of the library, I have prepared .and now place in your hands the customary annual report, the eighteenth I have had the honor to make. In some respects this year is the best year the library has seen. As will be seen by Appendix I, the circulation has steadily increased for a few years, while at the same time it has gradually changed to more solid reading. 13%. Appendix II, it will be seen that the percentage -of fiction and juveniles is smaller than it has ever been be- before, and consequently the proportion of reading for informa- tion is larger. The school teachers have, with scarcely an exception, accepted your offer of additional privileges by the use -of a teachers' card. They have begun to make a perceptible change in the character of children's reading and will, with the encouragement of the parents and school authorities, he enabled to exert a more decided influence on the reading of the young whose minds are now reaching out in all directions for whatever of life and interest they may find. If you further extend the privilege of a pupils' card to our teachers, you will grant a privilege which many of our teachers will use to the advantage of the children under their care. The .teachers' card is issued to all teachers of public or private classes, entitling each teacher to take out six books: such books as he may find for his advantage in preparing his mind for his work, or to give him needed illustrations in presenting any subject to his pupils. The prcpilr' carol would also be issued to teachers, but would entitle him to call for ten or a dozen hooks for the use .of his pupils, such books as lie would like them to read in pre- paring themselves more fully on some topic of the lesson. 10 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. To illustrate : Suppose the teacher is teaching geography, and the subject of the lesson is Africa. He has, of course, excel- lent globes and the latest large wall maps in the school room. He has an encyclopedia, and the revised edition of a good gazetteer. The pupil has a good outline map in his text-book,which he draws on paper and on the board until he can reproduce it from memory, showing that lie has in his mind an outlineof the country which he is considering,which he can compare with the other countries of which he has learned. The teacher wishes some of the larger books of travel and discovery which contain illustrations of points he wishes to fix in the minds of his class. These he takes from the library for a few days on his leachers' card. But now he wishes the members of his class to do a little work for themselves. He wishes them to go beyond the text-book ; to begin to use books, 11 the tools of the mind," for themselves that they may early learn their use and become free and independent workers and thinkers. He knows the subject is large and the resources of the library ample for his purpose. He sets each member of his class at work to look up some interesting point in the geography of this vast and almost unknown continent. They will not remember less of the main points fin• having an interest kindled in some single subsidiary topic. IIe therefore sends one or two of his larger boys with a basket and his hu; lc' card to the library for a dozen books. If the number is not large enough, he will probably find pupils who have the use of parent's cards. which may supplement the number. To one he gives some older work on geography from which he will report to the class after a few days' preparation how little was known fifty or a hun- dred years ago with regard to this continent. Perhaps one will find and be able to show to the class some of the ancient snaps, for comparison with the later. To another, he will give the travels. of Mungo Park, whose zeal and daring in obtaining some little- knowledge of the Niger, will be impressed on the class. One will tell with Stanley, 11 How I found Livingstone." One will en- ter somewhat into the spirit of the •• Missionary travels and LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 11 researches of Livingstone in South Africa." while another will follow Jules Verne in his wild imaginings in his " Ad- ventures in the land of the Behemoth." One will follow Stanlev •• Through the dark Continent" to the Sources of the Nile." One with Du Chaillu. will visit 1, The Country of the Dwarfs ;" another will describe with him 4•Wild Life under the Equator." The children themselves will be surprised at the amount of interest they find in their wort: ; they will be surprised at the amount of new information the diflbrent members of the class can contribute on the given subject. The judicious teacher will not allow his class to attempt to pour out the whole contents of the library on this subject in one recita- -tion ; but, choosing the sub-topics wisely. studying both the char- acter of his pupil and knowing the author to whosework he sends the learner, and using the same skill in this exercise that he displays in his ordinary work. he will, giving each proper time, get his pupils, not only to reading to some profit, but more, to writing. —which must go with all good reading,—and by the stimulus which one pupil can best give another, will finally bring about a result both in the acquisition of know ledge and the power of expression by word of mouth and by the pen, and also in help to his pupils to the independent use of books, which for most of the uses of life will prove a yen• great gain, and of which neither he or they could have before had any adequate idea. This subject taken almost at random will serve as an illustra- tion of the manner in which the teacher may use the pn jSr.'Ls' card if you see fit to grant its issue. It will also help the less experi- enced teachers to understand in what spirit and for what purpose you are asked to grant the privilege. The teachers' card has for the most part been used wisely. You would not expect us to give out on this, six of the latest and most popular novels for the amusement of a teacher or a teacher's friends: but if a teacher, who must be her own best judge in the matter, should desire a novel for rest or inspiration, the librarians would put no impedi- ment in her way. We at the library can see both by the records 12 LIBR_ TILA '5 REPORT. which we keep, and daily in the reading rooms, that a change is going on for the better that promises more for the future. The young-will find, of course, that it is much easier to ask questions than to answer them, and so may sometimes be discouraged by not finding as full answers as they would like; but by perscvcr- ance they will find treasures of interesting knowledge wl•,en they have found the proper keys and have learned how to use them. I have given this subject considerable space in this report, feeling that it may be of use in making the library of more use to the public. The regular work of the library has gone on as usual. It is not necessary to repeat many things still pertinent which have been given in former annual reports. The reading rooms have been furnished with cases, the cases filled with minerals and books, which, judging from their use, have already proved of interest and value. You have directed the location and display in part of the beautiful collection of birds donated to the library this year by Miss Emilia Dana. Promises of other minerals and objects of natural history have been made, and doubtless some of our citizens will feel prompted when they see what use is made of them, to bestow other works of art or specimens in natural history. The number of books purchased this year now closed is larger than it has been for several years, and this, with the necessary relocation of many books makes our supplementary catalogue much larger than for several years. Of course, this all indicates a large amount of work done in the library. In this connection. allow me to express my appreciation of the valuable assistance which I have received from both of mti• assist- ants during the year, both while I have been present and while I was absent for several months last summer in Europe. Of course, the work of preparing books for circulation accumulated during the summer, but 1 hope you are satisfied with the amount done during these last few months; though I hardly think you even are aware of the amount of labor that professional librarians would find it profitable to perform for the libr:n y. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 13 More time could be profitably spent in the examination of books presented for purchase, in preparing and revising catalogues and special lists, in classifying and preparing our large store of pam- phlets for use. in personal help to users of books. The annual purchases, if wisely made. should not be counted as so much expense, but as the investment of so much capital where it will pay the town large dividends in it brighter atmosphere, in purer streams of thought. in more wholesome habitations and habili- ments of mental and moral growth, a treasury of historic lore, of scientific truth, which by its usefulness to our people will make residence in town more desirable, notions of separation from the town less effective, both now and for the future. The plan of placing cases of reference books in the reading room has been tried for a short time. I think it will be found that this can be done safely and with great advantage to our read- ers. I would recommend as an extension of this work, that you ask it special appropriation of five hundred or a thousand dollars bevond the usual appropriations. for the purchase of additional encyclopedias. dictionaries. and other large and somewhat expens- ive works of reference which might he for constant use in the reading rooms. I have selected titles of works of great value which I have seen in use in some of the large libraries which I had the pleasure of visiting during the last summer, many of which would he of very great use to our students and readers. Perhaps I cannot show in any better way my appreciation of your kindness in granting me leave of absence for several months last summer for my trip to Europe, than in attempting to give you some little account of the libraries visited, and the im- pressions which these visits have made on me as to what is possi- ble or desirable in a library like ours. I was absent from the third of June to the twenty-fourth of September. The first library visited was the Liverpool Free Public Library, which, like most libraries in Great Britain. is associated with a museum and art gallery. Here is a library with over a hundred thousand volumes (t 15,700), which has, like the LIBRARIAN)S REPORT. British Museum, a large circular receding room which is lighted in the evening by electricity. This reading room is planned for work, for study and for writing, and has proved of very great use to the city, being now perhaps the most successful of all the public libraries, and so is Nvorthy of attention; although with American travelers, with all the great art galleries and museums of Europe before them, it is not customary to spend much time here. This library was established only as long ago as 185a, by special act of Parliament, yet it is now under what is known as the Public Libraries Acts, which, although begun in 1S55 and 1866, were not put into their present form till I871 and 1877• Although there are many large private and semi-public libraries in Great Britain which claim an age of one or two hundred years. yet, fe%v of the Free Public Libraries like this of Liverpool ante- date the foundation of our library in this little town more than a few years, most of them having-been started long since ours. In iS6o, Sir William Brown had erected the present large buildings on one of the finest squares of the city, but it was not till Mo that the great reading room was opened. This library has an extensive printed catalogue, and, like our Boston library, issues more than a million volumes a year. Under the Libraries Acts, each municipality is allowed to levy a tax for the support of its public library—a tax of a penny on a pound rental. Un- der this act, according to a very able article in the new edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, only ninety-six rate-supported libraries have been established, ten of them being in Scotland, and one in Ireland. And vet we shall find that in this matter the English Lion is getting aroused. NVe may with pride say at this present writing and say truly, that Massachusetts alone has established a fear larger number of Free Public Libraries in the last twenty years than the whole British empire, that she allows her people now to raise as much money as they please for their support, although she began by limiting the amount to the small sum of half a dollar for each voter. But whether this compara- tively larger growth in this country continues, depends upon f I LIBRARIAN IS REPORT. 15 whether Nve shall rest in what is already accomplished, or whether we, by renewed efforts emulate the newly kindled inter- est shown throughout England. Liverpool, though far in ad- vance of most European cities in this respect, has something to learn of American libraries in the means of bringing her read- ers into intimate relations with her treasures. In some large libraries, especially on the continent, as we would see by even a hasty visit, the art of the librarian would seem to be to protect the library from the approach of the too curious or too covetous public. The ancient town of Chester, which is and should be visited by every American student of English history quite early in his tour,—it is but a few miles from Liverpool,—has within its well preserved ancient walls many of the oldest and a fe%v of the newest resources of our common civilization. To say nothing of its ancient castle and the city itself a fortified camp, the stronghold of ancient Roman order and Roman power against the wild and bar- barian dwellers of the mountainous regions around, or its ancient Norman cathedral and ruined churches which represent the pomp and power of the earlier church, we find in one of its narro'%v streets an active and well selected library of over io,000 volumes arranged upon its shelves after the somewhat new and peculiar mode of one of Boston's,—I might say the world's, —best cata- loguers and librarians. One is rather startled in going in from the inspection of such ancient streets and buildings with their timbered gables and high covered walks to see the latest Boston notions and improvements adopted in the administration of its Free Public Library. At Eton Hall, the splendid and most elaborate private residence of the Duke of Westminster, situated in a beautiful park of ten square miles on the hanks of the winding river Dee, not faraway from Chester, there is a fine library of over io,000 volumes. What one sees of it is in the large and beautiful south wing. with its lofty ceiling, where the oak cases around the room are filled with fine editions of the most modern books. halt of which are represented on our own shelves by copies less 16 LIBRARIANtS REPORT. imposing in appearance. Among the elegant and costly vol- umes I noticed, were Gould's Birds of Great Britain, Europe, Australia and Asia, thirty-five large folios; Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, which our young students are learning to prize ; and the incomplete set of the new edition of the Encyclo- pedia Brittannica, which I hope you will he able to put into our reading room,though it be in stout and less elegant binding. Vol- umes of our American poets and other writers were not wanting, showing the good senseof the nobleduke,with all means at hand, in drawing for use and entertainment very liberally from this side of the world of modern letters as well as from all other countries; although, I doubt not, he had many rare manuscripts and ancient volumes laid away in less conspicuous places. I would have lingered longer in this interesting collection had I not found that the rest of the party were almost out of sight down the long vaulted corridor lined with its suits of armor and of arms, its ele- gant store of antique and modern works of art. and flanked by the princely suites of rooms no\\• new and not yet formally opened by the reception given to the friends of the noble family a month later. In Glasgow, as I found at Edinburgh and most of tine largest British cities, there is no Free Public Library, though several very fine public libraries, notably the Mitchell Library, with its more than 55,000 volumes, and Sterling's and Glasgow Public Library, and the Atli enamill. These are not yet incorporated under the Libraries Acts, and so arc, in a measure, private libra- ries, not supported by taxation, not governed by public officers, though for the use of the public, either without fees or by payment of a small annual fee. It may he interesting to stop a moment to look at this young giant yet in its swaddling clothes, and follow the efficient and polite librarian. IN-Ir. Barret. through the low rooms crowded almost to suflbcation though they be, with books, and readers, and bright ideas. I-Ie tells its that this library was founded by a bequest of Mr. Stephen Mitchell, from whom it takes its name, LMRARI N18 REPORT. 17 of$350.000 in 1877,—almost ten years after our library started,— and that last year almost a half million volumes were handed out to readers. These books, as we see, are read in the reading rooms, crowded with tables in number, though not in form, like our large school rooms, where we can see by their garb, their hands and their intelligent faces, are both young and old of every class in life, notably from among mechanics and tradespeople. The librarian tells you, that although the presence of some direct- ing; spirit is at present necessary, that lie is more and more con- vinced of the safety and wisdom of throwing open to all who will come, the best thoughts of all ages, the best books of the teeming press of this steam-driven age. He gives us the best advice, the minutest instructions, for instance, in regard to the binding of these well-worn books. becomes almost pathetic in telling us how mau-y had gone away disappointed from not being able to find seats, who found the crowded condition of the rooms an insuperable hin- drance to their receiving wished-for benefit from the Library." These rooms are occupied not only in the evening, but in the earlier parts of the day. In passing, we may remark for our own encouragement, that although 50.000 volumes in the largest city of Scotland, each volume given out on an average nearly ten times,—no volumes are allowed to be token away from the rooms.—sho,.vs a whole- some and most promising seed-sowing for the future. it need not discourage us with our 15.700 volumes for our little town of 6000 people who read each volume on the average twice in the year. As we pass through the reading rooms, we note what Mr. Bar- ret says as to the most useful of the three or four hundred periodi- cals which we see on the tables. Here near the stairway is the " Poet's corner." of which we had heard sometime before, — A library of the poetry of Scotland." which has probably the largest collection of editiolis of Burns and Scott to be found anywhere in the world. During the last two years this collection has been vastly augmented h%- contributions of private collectors and by pur- chases from payments Of five pound subscribers. A good hint to 1� LIBRARIAN 7S REPORT. some of the more able of our friends to help make our library rich in all that pertains to our peculiar locality. Edinburgh, the Athens,—it would not do to say of this com- paratively ancient city the Boston, —of the north, has her many larger and many smaller collections of books, but as yet, no Free Public Library. We may by the courtesy of the principal libra- rian wander through the rather dark and dingy moms of the Advocate's Library where are stored in good order nearly 300,000 volumes and 300o manuscripts; we may gaze at the valuable old books that have inspired many a long white-wigged barrister, perhaps many a pale-faced scholar, in years gone by, to make this city the home of literature as well as 11 the nurse of arms," but we shall learn little here as to the management of a more modern institution, except to see more exactly why it is and how it is that the largest and best encyclopa,dia of our language, the oldest and best critical review, and hundreds of the hest books of our language could find here their origin and early support. Here was the birthplace and for many years the home of him who sang,— " O, Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood." At Scott's later home, his own chosen Abbotsford, we may still see with a great array of arms and armor, and other me- mentoes of the past history of his country, in his own library, 11 the materials with which the national poet and novelist stored his mind before he began his public career, and also very striking indications both of the zeal with which he watched the progress of literary enterprise down to the close of his life and of the homage paid to his genius and celebrity by his contemporaries."* Here we may see the volumes whose study enabled him to elabo- rate those poems and tales which will be the admiration of all *Lockhart's introduction to a Catalogue of the Library at Abbotsford,published in 1838. LIBRARIAN S REPORT. 19 ages, and dull indeed must be the man who does not draw from the titles even of this varied collection a useful lesson. Time would fail to speak of the large libraries that have started since ours, or are starting up now, mostly in manufactur- ing towns through England. Within a few weeks the Prince of Wales was present at the opening of a large new library build- ing in Birmingham. The Manchester Free Public Library is one of the largest and most successful in the kingdom, but after look- ing through these institutions that are springing up everywhere with a freshness of life in that old and custom-bound land that will put us on our mettle to keep ahead of, we mat• for the pres- ent console ourselves with the tribute of Archdeacon Farrar, \N-ho says: 11 In regard to your libraries, I have been pleased to see the great improvements that you have over those in England. For instance, the classified catalogue that enables me to find a book in any department so quickly. ' " These great advan- tages should make America a nation of scholars." In view of the experiment in our library of putting reference books into cases in the reading room where they may be freely consulted by our readers, it may be well to look into the reading room of the British Museum. There in a circular room two hundred feet in diameter, lighted from above by sunlight in the daytime and by electricity in the evening, are arranged in order like the spokes of a wheel, tables for about three hundred read- ers. In the centre of the room on a raised platform are some of the librarians and their helpers, surrounded in two concentric double circles the folio volumes in which are written or pasted the titles of books, —not the more modern card catalogue,—and on the outside of which room, on the walls, are arranged by sub- jects, over 2o,000 volumes of reference books most likely to be called for. Beyond this wall are arranged in a continuation of the circular building the million and a half volumes of the library itself. The convenience of the room with its store of valua- ble reference books, and the valuable assistance of its courteous superintendent and librarians is in some measure a compensation 20 LIBRARIAN IS REPORT. for the sad need of a good catalogue. But this, like the Biblio- thcque Nationale at Paris,with its no one knows how many million volumes, must remain practically sealed to the mass of readers except in the few directions in which its large and hard-worked corps of assistants have been able to adequately catalogue its con- tents. For the salve of comparison, I may say that they have been at worlc for two or three years printing a catalogue to re- place this in manuscript, and that from the fact that they have been able during the last year to print thirty folio volumes, it is hoped by the continued support of the treasury, and the increased facility gained in the progress of the work, they will be able to complete the printed catalogue by the year igoo. The most available general collection of books for the public in London, is that of the corporation of the city at the Guildhall. Here, with a museum in the basement that will show you from the bed of the Thames and other sources, monuments and uten- sils of every description, of every age, clown from the Roman occupancy and even earlier, and with many other antiquities in every part of the building which carry us back to times when America .vas as yet an unknown land, you will find this modern contrivance, a card catalogue, constructed and arranged substan- tially from the same model as ours by one of the present librari- ans, Mr. Charles Welch, who has contributed to our library journals some papers of value. In view of the fact that it has been suggested that a card catalogue placed in the reading room, accessible to the public, might possi- bly take the place of our formal printed catalogue with its many sup- plements,—we now have five, thus making it necessary to look through six alphabets before we can say that we have not a cer- tain desired volume in the library.—it may be well to quote from the oliposite ends of the earth the wail:end the plea of the Melbourne Argus in regard to their library :—CARD CATALOGUES FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES. —The 'Mel- bourne Library is a vast granary of facts and information. The stores and materials which it contains ought to be easily get-at-a- LIBRARIAN IS REPORT. 21 ble. If some of them remain hidden to file reader because of the difficulty of unearthing them, much of the value of the institution is lost. - In front of great collections of books the ayerare visitor or student is dazed and somewhat cowed, and generally ends by reading what he can find. not what he has come to look for. It requires resolution and perseverance to get on terms with a big library. and the expenditure of time involved is more than a busy man can allbrd. It occurred to some evenly of the human race to invent catalogues of the ordinary type. The true bibliophile soon acquires a profound distrust and suspicion of these works. They area fruitful source of cerebral irritation, headache and bilious- ness. 11 If catalogues are printed in ordinary boot: form, they rapidly get out of date. New and costly editions have to he constantly brought out. The British 'Iuscum catalogue, :is far as it has been carried, is a series of portfolio-like tomes. Cards with fresh titles are constantly being pasted on to its unwieldy leaves. The effect is uninviting. The numerous editions of the catalogue at the Guildhall Free Library, which belongs to the Corporation of London, are an example of a thoroughly useless and mislead- ing catalogue." The writer would say the same of our printed catalogue with its five supplements. < I mention that library," the writer continues, -`because it is there the card catalogue SYS- tem has been introduced and may be examined. It is a thorough success, has quite superseded the old system, and it seems to me it might well he adopted in our great library here." Here follows a minute description of the card catalogue system. with wood cuts representing the foam of case, drawers, cards and other devices essentially the same as those we adopted when the library was being collected and catalogued in the old High school building, almost twenty years ago, —the admirable system of the late Dr. Abbott, of Harvard College, whose forms much simplified are now followed by nearly all the libraries in the country. The on- ly point with us is whether this shall be adopted as the form of cata- logue for popular use, in place of printed catalogues, and if so, to begin to prepare it that it may be ready without undue waste of time or expense in a few years when the edition of our present cata- logue shall be exhausted. The annual expense of printed cata- logues would be saved. The card catalogue would always repre- sent all the titles of books ready for circulation, arranged like words in a dictionary under one alphabet. The one placed in the 22 LIBRARIAN 7S REPORT. reading room for popular use should have the cards secured in place by wires or rods running through each drawer. The addi- tional %vriting to be done to make this in addition to the official catalogue kept as now as a check upon the other, would not very greatly increase the work of cataloguing-which involves,often, as all librarians know, considerable research. It is simply a question of the greater convenience for thorough reference of all who use the library for study or comparison. The first cost would not be as great as a new printed catalogue, a luxury %vhich few libraries can often afford. This should here as in Boston be supplemented from time to time with printed class lists of the classes of books most called for; as for instance, juveniles, fic- tion, history and biography, or science and art. It is a quite interesting fact that the only rate supported Tree Public Library in London, lendingUbrai:y,—the others require books to be read mostly on the premises,—is that of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, at Westminster. IIere within the groundsof the old Abbey,a library almost as large as ours is daily administered in rather contracted quarters, with fewer mod- ern improvements, but in much the same spirit as ours in this little village. Let us not boast, however, for while we are resting on out, present meagre attainments all England will be fairly ablaze with the new educational spirit that will make our present libra- ries and schools especially seem mere rush-lights in the dark. I might speak of the National Library of Holland at the Hague, with its more than 2oo.000 volumes; of the Bibliothcque Royale de Belgique at Brussels, with its more than 400,000 volumes and 30,000 valuable manuscripts, which has a tine card catalogue, though not so frill as the one at the Boston Athenaeum, or the Boston Public Library; or of the libraries in the German cities along the Rhine, particularly that of Strasbourg, where near the magnificent cathedral whose towers are visible for miles before any other sign of the city appears, is a library of a half million volumes,—how easily said,—most thoroughly and systematically classified, the books being marked by a combination of capital LIBRARLA\'S Ri+:PORT. 23 and small letters with Roman and Arabic numerals denoting classes and sub-classes. here is a system maturing in blissful ignorance of the lively discussion going on in this country over improved systems which must eventually- supersede all simply numerical or decimal fixed local system like the one we are now using. Time would fail me to speak of libraries visited in Switzerland, in Italy, or in France. We cannot hope to show copies of the first printed books with their hand-made illuminated titles and headings so perfect as works of art in comparison with our more rapidly printed and consequently cheaper books, as they shoes-in the treasure room of the National Library at Florence, or such elabo- rate and artistic cases as entirely conceal the books and manu- scripts of the Vatican Library. We obtained many valuable suggestions• especially in regard to useful books, in many of these libraries, especially in the reading room of that largest of all libra- ries, the National Library of Paris, and also at the smaller and peculiarly arranged University Library (Bibliothi que de la Sor- bonne). where the various classes of books (about 125-000 Vol- umes) are arranged. whether originally from necessity or by desibn. I did not learn, in smaller rooms each containing the books on a certain subject and each furnished with an elaborate card catalogue, generally on a table in the centre, where it can be consulted by the student. In this ancient library I was allowed to take a printed table dated 1846.—forty years old,—in which classes and sub-classes of books are designated by letters of the alphabet which,' as books are arranged by subject, also denote their place in the shelving. When our library is re-catalogued we may also find it advantageous to introduce a system of marl- ing or numbering which will more readily accommodate itself to the wants of a growing library. In closing, allow me, in addition to my recommendation of an extra eflbrt to enlarge this year the stock of reference books for the reading room. to call your attention to the condition of mane of our books which need rebinding. We have generallly purchased 74 LIBRARI.A.\'S RLPOR'1'. books in cloth bindings, and for many books this is quite sufficient, but other books xyhich you would desire to retain permanently on the shelves of the library are coming to pieces and are worthy of more substantial bindings. For such. this would be a matter of economy. It would be well also this year to bind up our regular series of periodicals. Some volumes of miscellaneous pamphlets can be put in more manageable form by binding. The trustees need a separate room where their deliberations can be conducted in a less public place than the reacting room or a corner of the book room. We have no tipper story. There are two plans for such a room quite feasible. One to add a small room to the building opposite to the catalogue room, the other to finish off a roam in the large basement. I hope whatever you may be able to do or not do in regard to this roon;, that you will be able to construct a wall in the basement so as to prevent the escape of ashes and dust in such quantities from the furnace into the reading and book rooms. What I said in last year's report in regard to a newspaper reading room for the use of all, in the basement, I would like to repeat with emphasis. until some private citizen or the town seeing this opportunity for doing so good a work will furnish the necessary finds. In view of what I have seen elsewhere. I have only praise for a the generous public spirit shown in this town in all it has done for its library, but in view of w•ha►t is done in some few places and especially in view of what it is Possible to do Cot-tic best interests of the town by this agency. I hope you will be sustained in your extremest eflbrts to make this institution more and more w•orthv of the full acquaintance and hearh, support of all on-people. May they ever regard it as an efficient and trustworthy agency in the: work of education. All of which is most respectfully submitted. SOLO\ F. WHITNEY.
