REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN, When in October last, the town so generously appropriated a large sum of money for the drainage of a portion of the southern district of the town known as Morse Field,we believed that such liberality would be received with some degree of appreciation, and that the oft-repeated effort on the part of a few disaffected persons to obtain a separation from us would be discontinued. It certain- ly-seemed as if all possibility of complaint by them of municipal grievances was fully obviated, and that the question of annexation of the whole, or a part, of that district to the city of Newton, must thereafter rest entirely upon such sentimental or social rea- sons as they could devise or induce their neighbors to believe. We regret, however, to have been forced again to meet the same unwarranted charges of official neglect that have been so often made before. Only sixteen resident property holders signed the petition, and its strength, as far as numbers and the valuation of property were concerned, was represented almost entirely by signatures of non- residents. It has always been our misfortune that the petitioners have gathered together all their forces ready for action before the town on its part has had an opportunity of even inquiring as to the real opinion of those whose signatures have been obtained against us, and we are confident that if petition and remonstrance were simply given to them for choice, unbiased by personal solicitation, the number of petitioners would have been very much decreased. That section of the town has been especially favored in recent years as regards its share of all municipal advantages. The char- acter of the schools is guaranteed by the high standing of its teachers. The streets are in better condition as a whole than in other 8 SELECT31EN 8 REPORT. corresponding portions of the town. Galen street, its principal thoroughfare, is thoroughly macadamized and is lighted by electric lights. Its share of police service is larger in proportion to its popula- tion and area that in the rest of the town, and now with a per- fected water supply, hydrant service, and the promise of a speedy completion of a better system of surface drainage and equal to any town in the State, it seems incredible that these efforts for dismembership of the town which have so repeatedly and signally failed, should continue to be a source of disturbance to us, and the significant cause of stagnation if not depreciation to property which otherwise would partake of the general pros- perity of the town. .Highway .Del)artmexit. The work in this department has been faithfully done under the superintendence of the Surveyor of Highways, and we believe lie has secured the favorable opinion of the citizens generally for promptness, energy, and devotion to his work. The result shows an economical use of the funds placed at his disposal, and in this respect he should be credited with the fact that out of his appro- priation,a considerable sum, amounting to about$400.00, was due for materials purchased last year. The amount of work accomplished and materials used, com- pares favorably with former years. Two suggestions contained in his report are particularly worthy of consideration : ist. Relating to the paving of gutters, which upon all streets of much incline, and we have a good many, should be done in the near future, as rapidly as a judicious use of monies granted for highway purposes will permit. Such a policy will unquestion- ably effect a very* great saving in the wear and tear of such streets, and in the time and expense required for their repair after the spring rains and the heavy showers of summer. zd. In regard to the more liberal use of water upon the mac- adamized Streets, the traffic upon these thoroughfares has grown SELMCT31EN)S REPORT. �) so great and the expense of keeping them in order so consider- able, that any suggestion for economy should be considered with- out prejudice, and we are of opinion that extending the service of watering will help materially to retard the wear of the street surface and to save in repairs more than would balance the out- lay. With this view, we suggest that the Highway Department ex- peed for watering streets a sum at least equal to what may be ob- tained by private subscription, which for the last season was about $goo.00. The great improvement thus to be gained in the appearance of the town. and the increased comfort of yourselves and the travel- ing and pleasure-seeking public, are to be considered. Thanks are due the Watertown Water Supply Company, by whose liberality, the water for street sprinkling was furnished free of charge the whole season. New Streets. Lincoln street from Auburn to Walnut street, has been accept- ed. A petition for acceptance of the street hitherto known as Bailey street, leading from Mt. Auburn street northerly, will be reported upon favorably. Mt. Auburn street, in front of the estate of C. D. Crawford, has been widened by the acquisition of a strip of land frorn him, averaging about four feet in width its entire length. ,Sidewalks. Concrete walks have been laid on the following streets: (Jar- net, Phillips. Riverside, Main, Franklin, Maple, Mt. Auburn, Otis, Washburn, and Pleasant; and repairs on Summer, Galen, Church. and Mt. Auburn. Arsenal ,Street 11"Idening. We have followed the same policy in treating with the owners of estates on Arsenal street, which was adopted in the case of Mr. Gilkey last year, and although the results have been slow of 10 SELECTME\'S RE-PORT. accomplishment, they have been obtained without incurrin:; the ill-will of the parties affected. The fences in front of Messrs. Emerson's, Berry's, and Mad- den's estates, have been moved back to the adopted line, as well as the stable belonging to Mr. Emerson, and the sidewalk and street put in order in front of their premises. The retaining wall on the line of the Gilkey estate, and its con- tinuance in front of the coal sheds of Pevear & Russell, on prop- erty of Fitchburg Railroad, has been built in :a thorough manner under contract with Mr. Geo. H. Sleeper, and upon it a substantial fence of plank and iron its whole length has been placed. The road has been filled in and sidewalk formed. The volume of filling, however, was so great that it was deemed advisable that ample time should be given for thorough settlement before mac- adamizing the street its entire width. We think it important that sufficient appropriation should be made to complete the wid- ening on the opposite side of the street this year, and also to fill the gap in the street opposite the Arsenal. The Arseptal Sheet BrEdge. The abutment of this bridge, which was reported last year to be in un unsafe condition, has been examined several times during the season, and it is our opinion that there has been no material change for the past three years at least. and inasmuch as a num- ber of citizens, encouraged by the resolution passed by the town at its recent meeting, have petitioned the national government for the dredging of Charles River, and are aided by the citizens of Newton directly interested, and a similar action on the part of the city government, it seems unnecessary that any immediate action should be taken for rebuilding the abutment, which might not be satisfactory in event of the deepening of the channel and the con- sequent modification required in the position of the draw upon that bridge. In other words, it would be better that if these changes are to come about, the widening of the channel. and re- building of the abutment, and the improvement of the approaches SELECTMEN'S REPORT. . 11 should be made at one and the same time. This argument also applies to the widening of that portion of the street across the marsh to the higher ground, which can be done when the bridge is closed for repairs. Police. There has been no change in the regular police force from last year. Five officers are employed (and the sixth has been peti- tioned for). The cost of these, including supply for their vaca- tions, is $4,737.50, and the service on the South Side of a special officer a day and a half or two days each week is about $200.00, besides the cost for extra service for holidays and special occasions. The State Cattle Commissioner (whose orders we are obliged to obey), required police service at the Union Market Cattle Yards several weeks early in the year, one-fifth of the expense•of which has to be borne by the town. The calls for police service are quite urgent during apart of the season to protect gardens, fields, and fruit, which the limited appropriation will not allow to much extent. The question of offering a reward for the detection of this species of crime is urged by those who suffer, and it might be wise to make a trial. if successful, much damage and aggravat- ing annoyance would be avoided to a worthy class of our citizens. The ' No License" vote at the March meeting indicated a de- cided gain over former years, and was expected to be followed by increased effort to suppress if possible the illegal sale of liquors. The special officers appointed were in the line of this effort, and all regular and special officers were expected to enforce the law with promptness and vigilance. The result of their doings in this regard is as follows: Searches for liquors. 20 No liquors found, I'- Complaints without search, 4 Convictions in Lower Court, I0 Fled from town, I Acquitted, I 12 SEI.ECTME 7S REPORT. Paid Fines, Convictions in Higher Court, .5 Sentenced to House of Correction. 4 Exceptions taken. i Acquitted. i Jury disagreed and second trial pending, i Though there may be some sly selling, yet the utmost vigi- lance is unable to detect a place of resort where liquors are kept or sold in the town. We are confident that no town or city ►within equal distance from Boston, and having such industries as are flourishing here, is more free from these violations of law than this. We congratulate the old and honored town upon the law-abid- ing character and disposition generally of its people, and with this spirit to mould its policy, its prosperity and growth will become permanent. There has been no unusual disturbance or aggravated crime during the year, many of the arrests for drunkenness having been from horse and steam cars arriving from Boston. Rather an un- usual number of minors have been arrested for petty stealing and breaking the peace, to which we call the special attention of par- ents and guardians, to exercise more care and vigilance in their restraining influence over their children and youth. Totten Hall. The Town Hall has been painted outside, and the rooms and cells of the lockup have been ►vhitewashed. The inside of the hall needs repainting and whitening. which would put the whole building in fair condition. The fact is apparent to all that the population has outgrown the capacity of the hall to convene the citizens at their town meetings, and for the various uses which require it. A more spacious and modern building would be a great improvement to the town as well as convenience to the people. %;ELECTMENIS REPORT. 13 Cemeteries. The cemeteries under the care of Mr. Alexander Gregg have suitable attention, and the sale of lots in the Common street bury- ing ground have for several years been more than sufficient to meet all current expenses. The receiving tomb is very inconve- nient in its entrance, and a change is very desirable, as the tomb is so situated that an entrance to it from the back would he nearly on grade, and so obviate the descent at the present or front entrance. It is recommended that an appropriation of$200.00 be made for such change, and the Selectmen for the ensuing year be author- ized to effect the same. ,Street Lighting. There has been some change in this department the present year. The price of gas lights has been reduced to $tj.00 each, instead of $17.75 ; the oil lights remaining the same, $io.jo. The contract in June was made with the Newton & Watertown Gas Company, with the privilege of discontinuing any of either kind at any time. A petition and application was made at the same time by the Newton Electric Light and Power Company for lighting streets, which resulted in putting up four Arc lights on Main and Mt. Auburn streets, also one on Church street near depot, paid by the railroad. These displaced nineteen gas lights at a cost of only $95 extra, and as they are lighted all night instead of till midnight, ;in(] are much superior to gas in all respects, the public seem well satisfied. There have also been two circuits of forty lights each of the Incandescent Electric Light put in, displacing sixty-eight oil and gas lights, and adding twelve new lights which had been petitioned for on various streets. These incandescent lights are furnished at the same price as gas lights, and without any expense to the town for any fixtures pertaining to them, while lamp-post and lantern cost from fifteen to twenty dollars each to the town, and the former are also superior in lighting capacity togas. As there is still application for more lights. we tllirtl< tliese may 14 SELECTMEN�8 REPORT. be extended with less cost, and with much improvement over either oil or gas. These petitions are from the outlying parts of the town, which are insufficiently lighted. There are now in use: Incandescent lights, So Arc lights, 5 Gas " 56 Oil " 119 We recommend a larger appropriation to meet these growing necessities. Bath Souse. The Bath House was open from June i till Sept. 15,and proved a source of convenience and healthfulness to: Men, 276 Boys and Youths, 5,175 A set of rules was adopted and posted there for the government of the house and bathers, which proved efficient in securing order and convenience to all who visited it. Mr. Charles Nye, a special officer, was appointed in charge, and performed his duties faithfully. An appropriation should be made for its maintenance. Sale of Torun Property. The gravel lot on Franklin street was sold at auction to Mr. David Flanders, for the sum of $750.00, a result which should commend itself sufficiently to ensure on your part a similar dis- posal of the lot on Pleasant street, which at present is no source of income, and is in our opinion in actual demand for building purposes. Seiverage. No particular action having been taken during the year by the State Board in charge of the subject of metropolitan sewerage, it has not been thought necessary to organize the committee which was appointed at the last March meeting. SELECTMEN'S REPORT. 15 A meeting of the State Commission, relative to the draining of the Charles River basin, was held early in the year, and an in- vitation having been sent to the town authorities, the members of the committee were duly notified, some of whom were present, since which no further action has been taken. We recommend that the same committee be continued. Town By-L(ttr s. We have thought it advisable to print again the By-Laws of the town, and to recommend their constant appearance in nature an- nual reports. Insufficient attention is paid by the citizens to their requirements, and consequently it frequently happens that they are unconsciously violated, thereby imposing unnecessary care upon the authorities. The neglect on the part of persons build- ing or about to build, to give proper notice or obtain permits, is notable, and streets or sidewalks are often improperly encum- bered with building materials, involving danger of accident. There are mail_. proper regulations in regard to building which are of sufficient importance to be embodied in our By-Laws, or perhaps might constitute a distinct building law. These, how- ever, at present may be limited, to such as atlect plumbing and drainage and protection against fire. iPater ,Sry)jdJ. There are at present 174 hydrants, an addition of two during the past year. Petitions for the extension of the main on Arsenal street,and of the Hall Rubber Company for a pipe on Bridge street, were re- ceived but not granted. We take pleasure in informing the citizens that the monthly re- ports of the State Analyist as to the quality of the water furnished by the company, show improvement rather than otherwise in its purity, and it is pronounced by the best experts to be without a superior in the State. In all probability, therefore, anxiety on this score need never influence the fair discussion in your minds of the true policy and 16 SE1,ECTMEN S REPORT. economy of the town in relation to this, its most important service. Clat�nN. The case of James Cavanagh, involving a claim for damages mentioned in last year's report, the circumstances connected with which were investigated to the best of our ability and reported upon in the last town meeting, has been entered in court, and under your instructions, the services of Mr. Goodrich, as attor- ney, have been retained. The defence of the town in the suit by T. P. Emerson and James Madden. for taking of land on Arsenal street, has also been placed in his hands. Salaries of Sch.00t Contntittee. For several years, dating as far back as the appointment of Su- perintendent, the salaries of the School Board have been one year in arrears, the appropriation of each year having been paid to the committee of the previous year. This matter should be adjusted, and we shall ask under the head of salaries for an appropriation sufficient for that purpose. Respectfully submitted. CIIARLES BRIGHAM, Selectmen EDWARD F. PORTER, of IiIRAM D. SKINNER, Watertown. BY-LAWS OF THE TOWN OF WATERTOWN. COMIIQNwEALTH OIL MASSACHUSETTS.

THEO. C. HURD, Clerk. REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH. The Board of Health of the town of Watertown submit the fol- lowing as their report for the year ending Jan- 31, 1888. viz. Hortali.ty Report. In Isso, Its 44 ISS1, 95 I882, 102 .. 1883, 102 1884, 108 1885, 139 1886, 100 1887, 103 Making proper allowance: for the yearly increase in population, on the same basis as that assumed in the report of last year's board of health, the town may well congratulate itself upon the marked decrease in the death rate during the years 1886 and 1887, as compared with the period covering the six preceding years. The average death rate for each of the six years prior to 1886 was about nineteen (i9) deaths to every thousand inhabitants, and for each of the last two years, fifteen (15) deaths to every thousand. Of the 103 who died during 1887, twenty-nine (29) were five years old or under, and fourteen (14) had passed the age of three score and ten, making sixty (6o) the number of those who died between the ages of 5 and 70. It may be somewhat interesting to compare with the above the death rate in New York, Brooklvn and some other cities as indi- cated by the following table: REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH. 27 Percentage or PLACE.

In pursuance of the provision of law requiring physicians to notify the Board of all cases of contagious disease which they may have in charge, there have been reported to us three (3) cases of typhoid fever, nine (9) cases of diphtheria, twenty-six (26) cases of scarlet fever and four (4) cases of cholera infantum. We are happy to be able to announce that the scarlet fever reported was of a comparatively mild form, as only two out of the twenty-six cases resulted fatally. Whenever the existence of a dangerous and contagious disease has become known to us, we have invaria- bly at once notified the School Committee and the trustees of the public library, and a united effort of the three boards, each acting within its own sphere of duty, has been made to prevent the spread of the disease outside of the immediate household, or lo- cality where it originated. The following table shows the months in which the diseases reported to us occurred and likewise their mo nthly number: ——DISEASE. � I u _ .`_7. _ �_• b4 t., I V 0 0 0 Typhoid Fever.... .... !

In the early part of the year swill and garbage were collected and carted off under an arrangement or contract, with a private individual. After a trial, which convinced the party who had undertAwn to do the work, that for the money paid him he could 30 REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH. not do it satisfactorily to the public, the contract was given up. The Board then recommended that the work be done by the town itself, under the direction and supervision of the Surveyor of Highways, which recommendation was adopted by the Select- men. The manner in which this official has performed the task thus imposed upon him has been characterized by thorough effi- ciency and, so far as the Board are able to learn, with universal satisfaction to all. The Surveyor of Highways clearly should continue to have charge of this matter. 1\ulsances. The following is an exhibit of the nature and number of nuisances investigated Privy vaults and cesspools that had become full, or over- flowing, 39 Open and defective privy vaults, 3 Swill and garbage thrown into vaults, z Defective cesspools, 4 Sinks without traps, 6 Filthy yards, 7 Filthy cellar, i Glanders, c Leaky cisterns, z In addition to the work involved in the foregoing, the Board have made fifty-eight inspection visits, issued five notices, investi- gated eight written complaints, and a large number of verbal complaints. Treadaraay B•►•ook. This brook, to the former as well as to the present Board, has been a source of constant annoyance. The owners of the prop- erty through which it runs have several times, in compliance with an order issued by us, cleaned it out. But the good thus accomplished has been only temporary. No sooner is this done than people begin again and continue to throw into it garbage and REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH. 31 obstructive rubbish of various kinds; the brook fills up, and at certain times the water is insufficient in point of fall and quantity to enable itself to escape readily, much less carry off the foreign substances that obstruct it. The result is that in places the brook becomes an open stagnant depository of filth. In view of the failure of the expedients heretofore adopted to remedy the diffi- cult-, the next Board will in all probability feel obliged to insist upon some radical measure not yet resorted to, such, possibly, as the deepening and covering of the brook, and the construction of a stone wall along its sides. G'harlerr RFver. As usual, offensive odors from the river in the centre of the vil- lage have been at times the `subject of complaint. The precise cause and origin of this difficulty have not as yet been definitely proven. The members of the present Board do not entirely agree on the subject; the members of last year's board did not agree. But whatever may be the real cause. the matter is one for the State Board of Health to take action on, rather than the local board. If the public are to be subjected to a constant periodical recurrence of these discomforting odors, unless some action be taken, it seems to us that a discussion by the people of the whole subject at a regularly called town meeting and an expression of the various opinions which prevail as to its cause, would be at- tended xvith good results. This course might fiu•nish light, which as individuals we may not now have, and would be likely to give to any movement, having for its object an abatement of the nuisance, a more intelligent basis. It is quite certain that what- ever else might be done. it would be necessary to deepen the channel of the stream from the dam to a point some distance below the bridge, and likewise to remove the existing obstructions, in the shape of vegetable growth and otherwise, which prevent a free flow of the river's water, and w1iich furnish lodgment for sub- stances that are subject to deem• and that, during the process of decav, emit odors. which are more or less offensive. 32 REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH. The Retuleriitg Factory. With feelings of sincere relief, we think that we can no%v safely state, that the nuisance in connection with the rendering factory belonging to Mr. Jennison on the south side of the river on New- ton territory just beyond the Watertown line will soon be abso- lutely abated. The stenches from this place had at times become insufferable and a cause of extreme discomfort, and in one or two cases, of sickness to some of our citizens. It will be remembered that the Board of Health for last year had a long and persistent struggle and devoted a great deal of time and personal labor in trying to suppress it. The factory being outside of the limits of Watertown, they had not the power of summary and direct action. They began by exerting the pressure of complaint and remon- strance directly upon the proprietor. This proved unavailing. They then appealed to the health authorities of Newton, wHo did possess the power of direct interference. This likewise proved unavailing. The next step taken by the local board was to bring the matter before the State Board of Health ; before whom, a full hearing was had, and a condition of things constituting a glaring nuisance abundantly proven. Upon the representation of Mr. Jennison, that by the adoption of a certain method he could so conduct his business that it would be unobjectionable to the pub- lic, the State Board suspended action until he should have had ample opportunity of showing, if possible,that this could be done. With the return of the warm season there came again, however, the familiar stenches of 1886, spoken of above, in the fullness of their offensiveness. The matter was again pressed by us before the State Board, who notified us that they had begun proper pro- ceedings for the suppression of the nuisance. We understand that the case is now pending in Court, and the result of the legal proceedings against Mr. Jennison will probably be, if it is not already the case, the absolute removal from our neighborhood of his business, or that portion of it which has been the cause of the trouble. We cannot dismiss the subject without expressing our appre- REPORT OF BOARD OF HEAI.TII. 33 ciation of the valuable services rendered both boards and the public by Mr. Fred Robbins, whose efforts in the matter have been untiring from the beginning to the present time. The Cle?-k of the Boat-d. Owing to our inability to secure th6 services as clerk of some one not a member of the Board, on account of the smallness of the compensation Nve felt justified in paying, Mr. Gregg was appointed clerk with the distinct understanding from the outstart, that as provided by- law, he should be paid for such services. He has, in the performance of the duties of this position, been prompt and efficient, in all respects giving complete satisfaction. Expeuses. McLauthlin &: Co., printing, $4 00 E. V.

INGRAHAM, Town Clerk. i REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR, The States proceed upon the assumption that every person will support himself. if he is able to do so. If a person is not able to support himself, our State laws require his kinsfolk within speci- fied limits to support him. In case there are no kinsfolk able to support him, the law makes it the duty of the town ; the town- ship, or the county in which he has a lawfiil residence to furnish such support as the case demands. States try to protect them- selves from the burden of pauper relief by fining persons for bring- ing paupers into the State and by sending persons fi-om the State %vho have not gained a legal residence. It is the policy of gov- ernment to have poor persons supported by the community where they were living when their disability arose, and where, consequently, all the facts in the case are best known. The help of the poor by the government seems to be a simple matter, but it is believed by those who have given the subject most attention, that there are few things which the government is called upon to do that involve greater difficulties. Methods of relief have been adopted which are believed to have been potent causes of disaster and ruin. A government cannot safely assume the support of persons who can be taught to sup- port themselves. 11 It is better for the government to use means which will, so far as possible, prevent poverty. Li the care of the poor. as in education and in road building, it is economy in the end for the government to adopt the most approved methods and to seek to know what is best before making lavish expendi- tures."— Our Governwent.—MACY. It has been well said that Americans should pay careful atten- tion to the government of cities. As population becomes more 50 REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR. dense it requires new and more perfect systems of government, for what proves by experience to be the best for the city can but be of interest and use to the town. << When we look for the best methods of school work we go to the city to find it. We study their system of road building to im- prove our own. Our cities furnish us with the best knowledge for the preservation of health ; if we would learn how to restrain and banish pauperism, the cities give us the best light we have." So important is this department deemed that the secretaries of the poor department in nearly all the cities in this State have formed an organization for the purpose of meeting and discussing those public questions that pertain to their departments. A few weeks ago the association invited the Hon. R. T. Paine to deliver au address before them. His subject was, " How to care for the Needy." He said: 11 There are two ways of caring for the poor; one, and the best way, is to help the poor to help themselves by assisting them to employment, advising them how to be provident, self-respecting and independent. The other way is to give them aid in money, which is a sure way to bring the recipients to again ask for aid until they become shiftless, indolent and sink into help- less pauperism." He advocated the abolishing of out door aid, confining munici- pal aid entirely to the almshouse and cited as instances of the working of this abolition the cities of Brooklyn and Philadelphia. In the former city outdoor aid was abolished nine years ago and for the last five years not a voice had been raised in favor of a re- turn to the old system. The law was also working well in Phila- delphia. In neither city had there been any perceptible increase in the demands tipon the almshouse or upon private institutions of charity by the abolition of outdoor aid. After the address the association discussed the ideas advanced by Mr. Paine. The prevailing sentiment was, that outdoor aid caused more harm than it did good by making the recipient im- provident, careless, indolent and non-self-respecting. In 11 Herrick's Town Officer." we find an elaborate opinion on REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF POOR. 51 this question, part of which we quote: " It has been too often decided to be now questioned, that the liability of towns to sup- port poor persons is founded upon and limited by statute and is not to be enlarged or modified by any supposed moral obligations" The statute referring to State poor says: - Except in cases of sick State poor, such aid (meaning outdoor aid,) shall not be furnished at any one time for a longer period than four weeks, or to a greater amount than one dollar for each person or five per week for each family." The statute quoted above applies to all State cases. It can readily be understood from this statute that outdoor aid as rendered by the State is not intended to be permanent aid, but only to be given at intervals and for short periods of time, to help persons through some difficulty until they could care for themselves again. Permanent aid as rendered by the State, and it is governed by statute law, comes but from one source, the State alsmshouse. To illustrate the peculiar workings of one case of outdoor aid in this town : There were three generations of people in one f• nlik, receiving aid from the town at the same time and each one thought it a necessity. This department, after a thorough investigation of the results of past expenditures and a careful consideration of its present needs, and having no hope of a legacy to any of its patrons during the present year, determined as early as last May to reduce the ex- penditures within the limits of the appropriation, if no event of an unusual nature occurred. This policy has been steadily pur- sued during the remainder of the year and the appropriation with its added reimbursements has been little if any exceeded, as can be seen by referring to the Auditor's report of this department. Mr. ,John Reed as superintendent and Mrs. Reed as matron of the almshouse, have performed the duties of that department faithfully and with the energy the various and difficult duties of the situation demand. They have been governed by that humani- ty which is so necessary to the position they occupy. This department is of the opinion that the Town Farm should 52 REPORT OF OVERSEMM-8 OF POOR. produce a larger revenue. The stock on the farm should be in- creased, as by that means the soil could he made more productive. There are teams and nearly all kinds of farming implements al- ready owned by the town. A ready market can always be had for all the farm can produce in excess of the wants of the house, and with the system at present adopted by Mr. Reed, it is believed that the income from this department will steadily increase. In this department there have been some unusual expenses during the year. A cow was purchased for which eighty dollars was paid ; eighteen dollars for repairing range in the kitchen and resetting kettle; forty-five dollars for repairing carriage ; forty dollars for building gates for the barn ; a new mowing machine was purchased for fifty dollars ; five hundred and sixty dollars was paid for board of truants during the year. Dr. Tower as town physician, has performed the trying duties of that position with his usual promptness and success. Mr. Geo. F. Robinson as Almoner, is quite familiar with this department, as he is serving his third term. Initiates of the Almshoitse f'or the Eidh-e Yem)-. Name. Age. Gerry Hager, jb years.

The houses that have been erected for the past two years have made pleasant homes for thriving, prosperous families that are a line addition to any community. We feel that the town has a right to look forward to a prosperous future. Few towns in the State can oHbr to a man seeking a home the advantages that this town can offer, with its fine commanding building sites, schools, churches and public library, and with its lows rate of taxation.

In conclusion, we may say that our tax at $I2.50 per $I,000 is as low as we can reasonably expect, and meet the wants of the 56 ASSESSORS' REPORT. town in a generous and liberal manner; but it would seem as if, with so small a debt, and consequently, light interest account, that rate would be sufficient to meet all reasonable demands that could be made upon our taxpayers.

MICHAEL CARROLL, 2ND. ` TREASURER'S REPORT, The past rear has been one of unusual stringency in the money market, and the loans made in anticipation of taxes, have de- manded a higher rate of interest than has been paid in previous years. The town financially stands well, and no doubt can be enter- tained that should a loan be required in the immediate future, one could be negotiated on as favorable terms as by any munici- pality in the Commonwealth. Annexed is a statement of the town debt as it existed at the close of the year, located as follows: In the Cambridgeport Sav- ings Bank, two notes of$5,000 each, maturing April i, MS. A note of$5600 bearing interest six fier cent. at the Lowell In- stitution for Savings, and due Oct. at, iSSS, and one of$5,000 at the Watertown Savings Bank at four per cent. interest, which they would like to retain on demand. It will thus be seen that the entire debt will mature during the year, for which, provision must be made at the annual meeting. The treasurer would sug- gest that the customary annual appropriation for the reduction of the town debt be $5,5oo, in order to cancel the note at the Low- ell Institution for Savings, and would also suggest, as in past years, that he be authorized, under the direction of the Selectmen, to borrow such sums in anticipation of taxes, as may be required to meet the current expenses. The Auditor has been faithful in his duty of making monthly examinations of the treasurer's accounts and vouchers, and in his report they will appear in detail. 64 TI11.:ASURER', HF.PORT.

To the Honorable board of Selectmen: GENTLEMEN,—By vote of the town at its last annual town meeting, the money appropriated for Highway purposes was to be expended under the direction of the Selectmen. I respectfully submit the following doings of this department from March I, 1887 to Jan. 31, 1888: The first spring work done was a general cleaning up of all the streets and a clearing out of the gutters. Early in May the crusher and everything connected with the same was put in first- class running order by the New England Machine Co. of Boston, and placed in charge of Mr. John Reed as engineer, and by his good judgment and prudent management the crusher was run about the same length of time as in past years, but without one cent of expense for repairs of any hind during the season. All the stone crushed was taken direct from the crusher to the place wanted for use, thereby saving quite an expense in handling the same. Before using the crushed stones I consulted with Mr. Geo. H. Sleeper in regard to placing the same where it was most needed, and my thanks are due him for much valuable information in regard to the wants of the several principal roadways in town, which information has been most willingly and freely given me when asked for. ' Crushed Stokes. Crushed stones have been placed on the streets as follows: Arsenal street, from Clay Hill to Taylor street, t,Soo feet long, 36 feet wide, 6 inches deep ; average. DIt. Auburn street, from Grove street to opposite Geo. Frazer's, 1,5oo feet long, 25 feet wide, 4 inches deep; average. REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGI1WAYS. 69 Water street, from Galen street to near Gas House, 670 feet long, 16 feet wide, 4 inches de6p; average. Market street, from junction of Arsenal, Zoo feet long, 22 feet wide, 4 inches deep ; average. Irving street, from Arsenal street to R. R. crossing, too feet long, 29 feet wide, io inches deep ; average. Seven hundred and ten two-horse loads of screened gravel was used to cover crushed stones. Catch Basins. Nine catch basins have been built and located as follows: Palfrey street, near Spring; Fayette street, corner of Pearl; Summer street, corner of Pearl; Summer street, corner of Church ; Mount Auburn street, nearly opposite Lincoln street; Washburn street, east side; Washburn street, west side ; Cuba street, oppo- site Tennv's house; Middle street, opposite Cuba street. There has been laid in connection with these basins, nearly t,000 feet of drain pipe; also 72 feet of io-inch iron pipe for driveways. About 150 feet of 6 and 8-inch chain pipe which has been laid for several years, was (rand to be entirely filled up. It has all been taken tip, cleaned out, and in some places replaced with io-inch pipe. • My experience this year in regard to drain pipe is, that it will be economy for the town to use to-inch pipe in place of the smaller sizes.

By your orders the care of watering streets was, after some de- lay,placed in this department,which commenced to water Mt.Au- burn street from R. R. crossing to top of Bailey Hill, and Galen street to Newton line from July 20 to October 15—forty-eight days in all. The last of September and a few days in October, it was very dry with high wind, consequently, these streets were R1,PORT OF SURVEYOR OF 1I1(*IIWAYS. 71 quite dusty ; but as all the money received from private subscrip- tion was spent and our teams. was busy in necessary work, I did not feel authorized to hire other teams to water these streets. In addition to what this department has watered, the fire depart- ment has as usual watered within the limits fixed by the Board of Engineers, in their usual prompt and satisfactory manner. In this connection, allow me to suggest the expediency of the town using more water on the following streets:—Main, Galen, Arsenal, Market and Mt. Auburn. As these streets are largely covered with crushed stones, and in dry or windy weather very much good material is blown off, it might be well for the town to consider the question of using more water on these streets than has been used in former years. Should the town decide to do this, an extra appropriation would be necessary. Should the town decide not to extend the watering of these streets, I see no reason why one watering cart could not be sold. We have now three watering carts, all in good condition, and use for only two. Paved (a atte)s. In addition to the usual work of this department there has been laid on Spring street 390 feet in length and 4 feet wide; Mt. Auburn street, 335 feet in length and 4 feet wide ; total of 775 feet of paved gutters. With stones selected from those at the crusher, the stones used for this purpose on Mt. Auburn street were of a larger size than ordinary paving stones, on account of the very heavy teaming over this street, which usually runs more or less on the edge of the gutter. I think the paving of gutters a very important part of the work of this department and that i,000 feet, more or less, should be' paved each year, the expense for the same to come out of the regular annual appropriation for this department, without extra expense to the town, the gutters being a part of the highway itself. 72 REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS. Bridges and C'idi-e►•ts. The Charles River bridges on Axsenal and Market streets have , both been re-planked. On examination it was found that the first, or bottom plank, .was badly decayed and very rotten ; so much so, that it was necessary to remove all the planking, which -was replaced with spruce plank tour inches thick and covered with a two-inch plank. The stone culvert across Market street and through land of John E. Cassidy was found to be nearly filled up. Near the outlet there was found only about six inches space to take the drainage from the stock yards, consequently that portion of land between the railroad and Market street is madly overflowed at times. The culvert is now in such condition that it will probably take away all the water coming to it. Swill. Ashc-.< fmd G(trbage. The collection of �-%% ill, aslics and garbage was taken from this department May tst and placed under contract and continued un- til August I2th, when it was again placed in this department. At that time it wagon and harness used by the contractor were pur- chased for the use of the town, it being much more convenient for the collection of swill than the tip cart, formerly used. I would respectfully suggest for the consideration of your Hon- orable Board, the propriety of the town using the swill instead of selling the same. I think the swill should be collected in July and August three times each week, twice each week being suf- ficient for the balance of the year. Iligh► ay Piojw)-ty. All the property in this department, consisting of five horses, carts, wagons, harnesses and all necessary working tools, will be found in good Condition ; the only addii iwi being a wagon and . harness used in the collection of swill.

Attest: CHARLES W. STONE, Secretary. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT, To the Jlllembers of the School Committee :— The custom of many years has made this month the fitting time to review the work done during the year, and to consider the needs for the future. While alive to the constant advancement in methods of teach- ing, and vigilant to discover and secure new educational improve- ments, we have held steadfastly to the old that has stood success- - fully the test of time. The condition of the schools is at present generally good,and in many respects excellent. Resign(diolis a2td Appolntntettts. There has been the average number of changes in our corps of teachers. The following teachers have resigned: Miss Susan Thacher and Miss X1innie Symonds, of the Parker school, _Miss Corinne Brainard, of the Spring school, Miss Ida Miner, substitute teacher, Miss E. H. McI,authlin, drawing teacher, Miss Alice Patten, of the High school, and Miss Fannie Carr, of the Grant. In selecting teachers to fill the vacancies caused by these resig- nations, the rule of the Board, that none but experienced teachers shall be employed, has been strictly conformed to. It has been difficult in many instances to find teachers qualified to continue the excellent work of the retiring teachers. There is no lack of ordi- nary teachers, but excellence is as rare in the teacher's profession as it is in other occupations. The increase that was made to the salaries last September, en- ables us to select our teachers from a higher grade of the profes- 6 CHAIRMAN IS REPORT. sion. With this additional sun we can secure what we want, and are no longer obliged to content ourselves with what we can get. The Parker Grammar school is at present being taught by Miss Bullard, a graduate of a normal school and a teacher of several years' experience. This school has been unfortunate in having had several teachers during the year, but it is now in very good condition, and is making rapid progress. Miss McDonough was transferred from the Francis to the Spring school. She is teaching this difficult school of eighty pupils in a manner that calls for the highest praise of the Com- mittee. Miss Wig in, also a graduate of a normal school, and a teacher of experience, succeeded Miss McDonough in the Francis school. This school is being taught to the entire satisfaction of the Com- mittee. Miss Herrick, teacher of drawing in the Salem Normal School, is in charge of the department of drawing. At her suggestion, and under her direction, drawing has been taught in all the schools by the regular teachers, who meet Miss Herrick once a month for instructions. It is expected that greater proficiency will be attained in the High and Grant school by having the first principles taught in the lower grade schools. Dr. Auton Marquardt, a native of Germany, and a graduate of a leading German University, has taken Miss Patten's place in the High School. His appointment offers to the pupils a rare oppor- tunity to study the languages. Miss Alice Winslow is substitute teacher, having succeeded Miss Ida Miner. High School. The increased demands for admission to Harvard,together with the increase in the number of studies consequent on the transver- sal of the Advanced Grammar to the High School, necessitates the employment of another assistant in the High School. CHAIIMA_NIS REPORT. Industrial Tralnittg School. I desire to call your careful consideration to that part of the Superintendent's report relating to Industrial Training. He rec- ommends the immediate establishment of such a school, and asks for a special appropriation for that purpose. It does not seem to me advisable to start at once a training school. That there is much in this subject that is commendable I do not doubt ; but it is exceedingly important that those subjects that form the very foundation of a man's education and character should not be jeopardized. Should it be found during the coming year that a certain num- ber of pupils can be taught some of the subjects included under the name Industrial Training, without in any way interfering with the regular branches that form as it were the skeleton of their intellectual being, it would be wise to try the experiment. Evening School. An evening school was opened in November in the Grant building. The attendance has been much larger than was antic- ipated. The eagerness shown by the pupils to avail themselves of the opportunity for self-improvement is extremely gratifying. Three nights in the week, after a hard day's work, men and women have gathered in the school-room to learn the rudiments of education, or to supplement the meager learning of their ne- glected youth. The Committee has done all in its power to make these hours profitable. Seven teachers have been employed in this school. Attention has been given chiefly to reading, writing, arithmetic, and book-keeping. Next year, it is proposed to add industrial drawing and other subjects. It is gratifying to be able to state that we have saved from our appropriation nearly enough to pay for the Evening school. JULIAN A. MEAD, Chairman. 8 REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.

If the years of his superintendence have been the 61 stepping- stones to better things"—and he thinks they have—the improve- ment has been due in large measure to the following; causes: (i.) The co-operation of Committees keenly alive to the inter- ests of the schools. (--.) The advance in salaries which has raised the average ex- cellence of the instruction. (3.) The increase in the school population which has opened the way to a better classification-and organization. (4-) The growing popular belief that shill in teaching, like skill in law or medicine, is essentially dependent on a special pro- fessional training, professional reading and professional expe- rience. The Acts of the Yeitr. The following are the most important acts of the year: (i.) The introduction of a ten minutes' recess into the after- ternoon sessions of the Grammar schools of the fourth, fifth and sixth grade. The numerous outings, formerly successive, are now simulta- neous, and the recess represents a saving of time through conden- sation of interruptions. (z.) The establishment of one session for the Grant school throughout the winter months. Like the High school, the Grant now opens at 8 a. in. and closes at i p. m. The new arrange- ment involves no loss of opportunity for study or instruction, 10 SUPERINTENDENT IS DEPORT. diminishes travel and exposure for all, and must be reckoned an especial advantage for those resident at a distance. (3.) The substitution of a "Fast Week " recess for the mid- winter vacation. The division of the school year into two terms of twenty weeks each, is retained because of its convenience in respect to promotions, changes of study, and examinations ; but the schools will hereafter be continuously in session from Septenn- ber to Jul_v, except for the interruptions of the above recess and the Christmas holidays. (4-) The collection of the School Reports from iS49 to iSS6, inclusive in two substantial volumes. These volumes contain a complete set of the printed Reports of the Committee, and consti- tute a valuable fragment of local educational history. Many of the Reports—not to be found among the school records—were kindly furnished by Mr. William P. Harris, from the stock of pamphlets preserved in his family. The extension of the grant of diplomas to graduates from the Grammar schools. The desire to win this reward of merit is an additional incen- tive to work, and a helpful influence to retain pupils to the end of the Grammar course. (6.) The abolition of the Advanced Grammar School. Dur- ing the two years of its continuance, the school was an experi- ment in the interests of practical education. It offered to all grad- uates of the Grammar schools an opportunity for the more complete mastery of the common subjects of study ; and, in the higher subjects of Industrial Drawing, Book-keeping by Double Entry, Surveying and Civil Government, it trained its pupils to business pursuits and intelligent citizenship. Further, the recom- mendations of last year evinced a willingness to enlarge its scope by the addition of a department of mechanic arts. But, good as the school unquestionably was, parents and guar- dians did not send their children to it in sufficient numbers to jus- tify its cost. There were but four graduates fi-om it last June. Careful inquiry established the fact that but four persons fitted for SUPLltr\TTEN'DE,XTIS REPORT. 11 its work would enter it in September. The two students who constituted the school at the date of its discontinuance, were transferred to the High School. (7.) The purchase of additions to former educational helps. Among these may be mentioned several sets of Supplementary Readers ; more sets of Dry and Liquid Measures; three Apple- ton's Reading Charts ; six additional sets of Prang's Geometrical Forms; Music Charts for five of the Primary schools; eight sets of Fractional Disks for the objective teaching of Fractions; ten wall-maps of Massachusetts; and, as a reference book for the teachers in each of the Primary, and Grammar schools, Prince's . Courses and Methods." (3.) An increase of compensation for most of the teachers in the six lowest grades. With every advance in salaries, your Committee has been able to put into your schools teachers of a better quality. But who- ever undertakes to provide this better quality, will speedily find •that grace, breeding, refinement, and all personal superiorities have a market value as educational influences. A lady teaches quite as effectively by what she is, as by what she says and does. It is herself, and what is best in herself, with which she quickens her pupils. Everywhere, good teaching is transfusion of spirit. (9.) The establishment of an Evening School. To discover the extent to which such a school was desired, the Committee in- vited those wishing its benefits to send in their names to the Sup- erintendent of Schools. More than ninety persons replied to this invitation. The school was opened early in November, and is still in progress. It has had seven teachers, an enrolment of one hundred and fifty pupils, and an average of about ninety. Its sessions are from half-past seven to nine, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Its employments are mainly the fundamen- tal studies of an English education, though Book-keeping consti- tutes one of the subjects of instruction. Pupils from the clay-schools are not permitted to attend this school. 12 SUPERINTENDENT'8 REPORT. The spirit of the school is admirable, and the aim of all, with hardly an exception, the largest possible self-improvement. No one of the other schools is doing a better educational work, and no one more than this deserves a place in the estimates for the annual appropriation. (io.) The introduction of Gerni:in :mmn- the studies of the High School. As long as this school continues to fit students for Harvard, it must teach whatever the University puts upon her list of prepara- tory studies. (I L.) The introduction of the study of Civics into the High School. In a government by the people, it seems the proper business of the State to train boys for the intelligent discharge of public duties. - To exercise the elective franchise wisely in town, state, and national aflilirs, requires vigilance and discernment; large grasp of principles and of facts; sound judgment and a scrupulous fidelity. The best education the High School can give, its best -discipline, its widest information, are none too great to meet these responsibilities." The Organization anal Gonditton of the Schools. (i.) The organization of the schools is substantially the same .as last year. The Advanced Grammar School has been discon- tinued; an Evening School has been established. These are the only changes. It is expected, however, that a Parochial school—to be founded next midsummer—will, by its withdrawals from your schools, close several of them. It is necessary to take this private school into account, partly with reference to the estimates for the annual appropriation, and partly with reference to the teachers whose numbers it will di- minish. With reference to the teachers, it is recommended—as in the SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT. 13 contraction of the force of a business house—that those be dropped who are of the least value to the schools. It will be necessary in September to put an additional Assistant into the High School. No graduate of this school within the last seven years has entered college,university, or the Institute of Tech- nology, without post-graduate help from the teachers. Misses. Fitz and Macurdy of the Harvard Annex, Misses Barker and Hartwell of Wellesley, Misses Chase and Dadmun of Boston University, and Adams and Sherman of the Institute of Technol- ogy, may all be mentioned in support of this statement. Special instruction has been needful—because impossible to be crowded into the regular course—in the sight-reading of Latin and Greek, in Latin and Greek composition, in advanced problem work in' Algebra and Geometry, and in experiments in Physics and Chem- istry. A place for German in the present year's scheme of study was found by uniting two Latin classes into one. This union will be impracticable after June next. Civics is now forced into a corner, and shorn of nine-tenths of its worth. If the new work introduced by the Committee during the cur- rent year and the neglected work of past years be arranged by subject and recitation, there will be needed (i.) For the Beginners in German, 4 Recitations per week. (z.) For the Advanced Class in German, 4 A. is '` (3.) For the Sight-reading of Latin and Greek,4 " 94 at (4.) For Latin and Greek Composition, 4 << 49 it (s.) For Experiments, in Physics and Chem- istry, 4 " " `c (6.) For the Class in Civics, 4 " is 66 (7.) For Advanced Problem Work in Algebra and Geometry, 4 as It is But seven subjects, taught for four recitation hours per week, constitute the present work of each of the regular teachers. It is accordingly recommended that in September, an additional teacher with a salary of$600 per annum be assigned to the High School. (2.) The Primary schools have been, without exception, in 14 SUPERINTENDENTIS REPORT. charge of the teachers of last year. Thero has been no interrup- tion of effort, interest, or success. Modeling in clay—formerly practiced in a few only of these schools—is now an employment in all. Paper folding and cutting arc employed as additional helps to clearer notions of form and greater skill of hand. Draw- ing from flat copy and from simple objects has largely occupied the time devoted to busy work." The experience of the year proves that the children find pleas- ure in variety of drawing-exercises; that they easily represent the third dimension; and that they are quite competent to use drawing as an instrument for the expression of thought. In the Grammar schools, instruction and training have been restricted to the essentials in the '1 Course of Study." There has been a vigorous attempt to raise the general average. The subject of Mental Arithmetic has been accorded a prominence un- known in recent years. Much attention has been given to back- ward pupils. Endeavor has been constant to make thinkers and investigators of all. The Public Library has been brought nearer than heretofore. One may judge of these schools from the quality of their teach- ers. The Superintendent of Schools finds it very difficult to secure worthy successors for those who retire. One may judge of these schools from the quality of their graduates.. The Principal of the High School considers the present Fourth class the best trained class ever admitted. The High School was founded in 1853. In the thirty-five years of its existence, it has expanded from a school with a single teacher to a school with ample employment for four, besides the instruction given in Music and Drawing. The last year begins a new epoch in its history. Hereafter, a classical education is only for those who prefer it. By a late in- crease in the number of studies and electives, a Four Years' Course may now be constructed from modern science, modern history. modern literature and modern languages. The school is in very close relationship with life. Its graduates SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 1a are much sought for business positions, and otters outnumber ac- ceptances. But preparations for business run parallel with preparations for more scholarly careers. Two of the recent graduates entered Boston University in June, and one entered Wellesley. Two be- gan in September to teach High schools. Three of the four grad- uates who entered your Training-school for Teachers one year ago, are already engaged in instruction in schools of their own. If the tree is to be judged by its fruits, in like manner let the school be valued which successfully prepares fot business, for teaching, for the Institute of Technology, for the different colleges of the neighborhood, and for the enjoyment of five great litera- tures. .Di2csic. What is good instruction in singing?" is the question Supt. Seaver of Boston asks himself in his Report for 1887, and here is his answer: 11 Certainly, something more is meant than teaching children by rote to sing songs; although this, if well done, and the songs are good, is a pleasant and inspiring exercise, always to be encour- aged. Something more is meant, too, than drilling children in chorus for public exhibitions : although good singing by a school on such occasions is much to be desired. Good instruction in singing includes careful training in the art of reading music from the notes; a training which, with most children, in the time allowed, should result in the ability to sing at sight, unaided by instrument or others' voices, simple pieces of music." Educators are more and more coming to the conclusion that the piano and teacher's voice—when used at other times than to give the key-note, or to help through a special difficulty—are positive hindrances to progress in musical development. They heighten effects, it is true, in the particular lesson, but at a 16 SUPERINTENDENT I S REPORT. sacrifice of the purpose of the lesson. This purpose is to train the child to think in music, not to accept musical thought poured into his ears. Accompaniments suggest from without what should be evolved from within, and reduce the self-activity of the child in singing to a minimum. Imitative singing and rote singing are not the results sought in school musical training. In vocal music, as everywhere else, it is what the child does for himself, and not what is done for him, that educates him. A piece of music assigned as an exercise for a school, is a lan- guage lesson to be read ; and it should be taught as other reading lessons in a language are. In teaching children to read English, nine-tentlis of the time is spent in training them—through much use of supplementary read- ers—to read at sight any book suited to their stage of develop- ment. The teacher who should keep children reading and re- reading a lesson till they could repeat it by heart, that is, by rote, would be discharged for incompetency. To know by rote," says Montaigne, 66 is not knowledge." A student's mastery of Latin is estimated by his ability to trans- late at sight a previously unread passage from Caesar or Cicero ; and all teaching in this language or any foreign language, con- stantly keeps in view as its fundamental aim this readiness of com- prehension. Now, music is a language; always to be thought of as such, studied as such, and taught as such. Whatever advance has been made in teaching it in the last few years—and the advance in some places has been wonderful—has sprung from the conviction that it should be taught as the other arts of expression are, and that successful methods in music must be the methods dictated by educational science and approved by experience in other subjects. A very large part of the time devoted to music teaching in the schools, should be spent in the sight singing of unfamiliar exercises. There should be a great number of these exercises, and their dif- S U PI:RI-_N'TE�TD EN*TIS REPORT. 17 ficulties should gradually increase. The pupils should sing these exercises generally without help of any sort,just as, without other than occasional help, they solve problems in Arithmetic, Algebra, -in(] Geometry. The teacher of music who plays or sings every exercise for her pupils before they attempt to sing it, (toes for them what the teacher of mathematics would do if he should solve every problem for his class in advance of any effort of theirs. The teacher of music who accompanies her pupils with voice or piano, does for them by this accompaniment what the teacher of mathe- matics would do if lie should suggest to his class at every point in the solution of a problem the principle to be used. What con- ceivable method of teaching mathematics could do more than this method to arrest development and emasculate: power? Your Superintendent of Schools does not think that a single series of music readers can Give a sufficient number of practice ex- ercises for the different grades. He would have supplementary readers in music as in English, and he recommends the purchase of one additional series for the use of the schools in the year to. come. Further, the special teaching in music now given is altogether insufficient. Counting the Grant Grammar as three schools—as it is for the purpose of adequate musical instruction—there are twenty-five schools to be taught, and some of them are more than two miles apart. The special teacher of music comes to the schools but one day in the week, and necessarily spends it considerable part of this day in travelling from school to school. Through no fault of his, and in spite of the fact that two schools are united for instruction—wherever possible—some of the schools are visited but once a fortnight, and some but once a month. There is to-day in a distant town, with whose schools your Superintendent of Schools is well acquainted, a lady teacher, whose work is of a high quality, and who teaches singing five days in the week for $600 a year. She would teach music for you, if asked. If she were your music teacher, she could teach is CPERINTE_\'DE\TIS REPORT. these twenty-five schools at the rate of five a day, giving to each of the lower grade schools two lessons per week of a half hour each, and to each of the higher grade schools, either two lessons a week of a half hour each, or one lesson of an hour in length, as after trial might seem most desirable. Such :ill arrangement of lessons, with the lessons in the subject now given by the regular teachers, would give to music in your schools the attention to which its value as an educational factor justly entitles it. It is accordingly recommended that in the provision for instruc- tion of the schools in music for the next year, this plan for an in- crease in the :unount of special teaching be adopted. Drawing. In the perfect days of June, " Every clod feels a stir of might. An instinct %vithiri it that reaches and towers. And, groping blindly upward for light, Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers." So, in the heart of the child, a thousand creative forces perpet- ually seek expression, and find in drawing if rightly taught—as in writing and speech—a channel through which to struggle into • form. In all instruction in this subject, it must be borne in mind that drawing is a language—to be taught with the same breadth of plan that English is, and with the same ultimate purpose. One teaches drawing, not so much for the beauty the child may call into being—though this is one result sought—as for the facility in pictorial expression to which he may be trained. A beautiful hand-writing is a good thing to have, but the ability to use writ- ing as an instrument with which to pour the invisible things of the spirit into paragraph or stanza, is incalculably better. Whether one is a penny-a-liner or a poet, grace of curve in one's penman- ship is of little consequence, but the power to express thought with the pen is of immense consequence. SUPERINTENDENT7S REPORT. 19 Until the average High School graduate can sketch the village blacksmith at his forge, with horse to shoe and idlers looking on, or a remembered or imagined street scene, as easily as lie can write of the upset of a sleighing party or the incidents of a town meeting, drawing will be inadequately taught. As an agency in education, drawing like music, is valuable just in proportion to the self-activity it evokes. The spiritless copy- ing of a printed copy is stupefying rather than developing. A Chinese fidelity in imitation m.ty hope soms d.ty for a Chinese success in art. Raphael, kept for thirteen years at reproduction of scroll, pattern, or represented projection, would hardly have left to posterity a famous picture. In bygone years, instruction in drawing has been for the most part confined to the -work outlined by the text-books. To the limited extent these books require, drawing has been faithfully, intelligently, and successfully taught. But the opinion is gaining foothold that these books, as a whole, are timid, and suggestive of a want of confidence in the artistic capacities of American children. Whether this opinion be, or be not, well founded, it is a fact that in thirteen years these children penetrate no farther than the vestibule of their subject. After a good deal of consultation Nvith the regular teachers— several of whom by inclination, training and experience, are qual- ified to become special teachers of drawing—it was decided to begin in September last in the Primary schools the practice of drawing from the object, and the use of drawing as an instrument of expression. Now, in your schools, from his first day in school, the child draws fi-om the object. The first objects are very simple, such, for example, as the surface of a book or slate, and within his abil- ity after a little practice to represent. When he can draw these first objects fairly well, a great number of other objects are suc- cessively attempted. As power grows, more difficult objects are presented. 20 SUPERINTENDENT IS REPORT. He is also trained to see and to show that a story can be told with the pencil. It is a long first step when lie can represent, however imperfectly, the cat pursuing the scampering rats. Very satisfactory results have been already reached in this way, though the plan of work and the gradation of difficulties in the object, and in the subjects of the practice sketches, have been left altogether to the regular teachers. The special teacher is at present engaged in the preparation of a Course in Drawing which shall introduce her personal instruc- tion into every one of the schools, and bring into use earlier and more numerously than before the successive numbers of the text- books. It is expected that before September next she will have pre- pared a properly graded succession of objects to be drawn,and of subjects for practice sketches, sufficient to occupy the grades dur- ing the four earliest years, and that later she will prepare a corres- ponding plan for the rest of the thirteen years. It is much to be desired that some one with a sufficient knowl- edge of children, of educational science, of the difficulties to be overcome and how to overcome them, should prepare for public use a book of training exercisesfor the pencil as an instrument of expression, similar in design and treatment to Mrs. Knox- Heath's "Elementary Lessons in Language." Said he, who was England's greatest teacher in these later years : 11 There is a subject little employed as a training subject for mind, which demands nicety of hand and eye, and introduces at once to strange discoveries in common things, that greatest point in true education. It is no concern of mine to glorify the artist's skill, but there is waiting to be used, whenever drawing is taught as a matter of mind, and not of hand, and is recog- nized as one of the first great exercise grounds of mind, A NEGLECTED WORLD OF TRUEST TEACI3ING." SCPERI\TE\DE\TIS REPORT. 21 Maitual Trainhtg. All education should be a preparation for life. A common school education, in as many ways as possible, should be a prepara- tion for usefulness in life. Inyour Primary and Grammar schools, the employments are already of a very practical kind. Much is done, it is true, to teach the child the profitable use of a book, but more to teach him the profitable use of himself. He is taught to read, write, spell, sing, draw, keep accounts, think and express thought. Girls are also taught to sew. Even geog- raphy becomes a study of forms to be reproduced in contour, = relief, and mass of moulding sand. Everywhere eye, ear, tongue and finger are trained. Knowing leads to doing and to skill in doing. Equally true is it—and of vital importance to be understood to be true—that doing leads to kno, inb. Here one touches the subject of the educational value of work and of a training in work. A true education is at every point in its advance double-sided. On one side it is from the outer to the inner, is receptive and ac- quisitive, and is from first to last a series of in-leading intellectual processes. The schools for centuries havereckoned this the important side. Impression has outranked expression. On the other side, education is from the inner to the outer, is constructive and creative, seeks to embody in visible form the in- visible thought, and is a series of oul-leacting intellectual pro- cesses. Language has stamped this second side as the important side. If in its derivation education is other than oul-leading, the word is misleading. The world has pronounced the second side the important side. What it wants of a man above all else is productiveness. It wants loom and sewing-machine, locomotive and telephone, skill in artist and artizan, fertility in expedients, readiness of re- source, and capital of power and efficiency. The writers on education whose influence has been especially 22 SUPERINTENDENT 9 8 REPORT. far-reaching, have emphasized the importance of this second side. Comenius says: 11 Let those things that have to be done be I-earned by doing them." Locke demands that his pupil master one real handicraft. ''Rousseau says: " To know how to use one's fingers gives a superiority in every condition of life." Side by side with mental and moral training, Pestalozri earnest- ly pleaded for training in work and art. In his book, °' How Gertrude Teaches her Children," he com- plains « That what no father would fail to do for his son, what no master would fail to do for his apprentice, the government has - failed to do for its people. In regard to the training in skill which a man needs for the good management of his essential af- fairs, no European nation enjoys even a trace of government in- fluence•; there is no public training in skilfulness except for the slaughter of mankind." What he advocated he practised. He introduced into his school the carpenter's bench, the turning lathe, and other appli- ances helpful in•industrial training. Froebel says in his tt Education of Man," 11 Every child, boy, and youth, whatever his condition or position in life, should devote daily at least one hour or two hours to serious activity in the production of some definite external piece of work. Chil- dren and parents consider the activity of actual work so unimpor- tant that educational institutions should make it one of their most constant endeavors to dispel this delusion. It would'be a most wholesome arraragemend in schools to establish actual workifrg hours similar to the existi,ig surely hours; and it will surely conic to this." In fact, Froebel founded all the manual training schools that are or shall be, when he published his occupations for the Kin- dergarten and his plan for a school workshop. In this workshop, there were to be 11 The making of simple wooden kitchen uten- sils; the weaving and binding of mats for table and floor; basket- making and box-making; the preparation of autistic and geoniet- S PBRINTE\DENT 9S REPORT. 23 rical forms from paper, by folding, cutting, mounting, pricking, weaving, and interlacing; the use of pasteboard in the manufac- ture of stars, wheels, napkin-rings, card-baskets, and lamp- shades ; the whittling of boats, wind-mills, and water-wheels; the manufacture of chains and other articles from flexible wire ; and many other employments." It was the privilege of France to anticipate other countries in the establishment of a national system of schools, such as Pestal- ozzi and Froebel desired. In 1882, she enacted a law that in all her common schools, " boys and girls shall devote two or three hours a week to instruc- tion in manual work." In obedience to this law, hand training begins early, and con- tinues throughout six years. From seven to nine years of age, boys are trained in manual ex- ercises to develop skill of hand. 'They make baskets, cut from pasteboard the various geometrical figures, and model in clay solid geometrical forms and simple objects. From nine to eleven years of age, they are taught to manufac- ture pasteboard articles to be covered with glazed paper, to bend and plait iron wire, to construct utensils made from wire and wood—such as bird-cages, for example—to model architectural ornaments, and to use the commonest tools. From eleven to thirteen years of age, they are practised in drawing and modeling, in the use of wood-working tools—planes, saws, etc.—and in the use of the file and other tools for smooth- ing metal casts and working in iron. In this scheme of instruction, the chief consideration is the edu- cational value of work. The result sought !s not the thing drawn, naodele(t or manz factzzreil. Lnt the storage of skill ill the child. The educational worth of industrial instruction may be briefly summarized as follows: (I.) It awakens and trains powers and talents which would otherwise remain dormant and untrained. It is a fact that many tat- 94 3UPERTNTE.NYDE\T'S REPORT. ents, if not fostered at an early age, become arrested. Oncearrest- ed, it is very difficult for them again to be aroused, and still more difficult for them to be developed. The present school for study hardly awakens and trains the artistic talents at all. (z.) It sets in activity the greatest imaginable number of senses and powers, and secures knowledge which no other in- struction can secure. It is an educational experience much too lightly valued that the minds of many children only rise by prac- tical activity, and that the mind so aroused is of the stronger and more progressive kind. (3.) It gives a foundation for much theoretical instruction, and places the aim of such instruction intelligently before the children. (4-) It also serves as a test for much theoretical instruction. What appears to us to be proven and established does not of necessity appear proven and established to the child. His mind may not be sufficiently mature to comprehend a theoretical proof, or may reject it, or the theoretical proof may be difficult to pro- duce, and, therefore. the proof must be practically given. (j.) It secures knowledge and understanding much more easily and impressively, and consequently more lastingly than ordinary instruction can. That which is apprehended through many senses and powers gains admittance into the mind more quickly, and makes a deeper and more permanent impression. (G.) It teaches the child to value, observe, investigate, test, compare, and invent. He who will construct an object, whether after a model or a drawing, must take careful account of the important relations of the three dimensions; the working material must be chosen and tested in regard to size, color and quality ; the tools must be chosen and examined as to usefulness; and finally, in working, he must keep in mind the measure, and compare the form of the whole as well as of the individual parts. During the work, involuntary observations of the materials and tools will be made, and investigation and comparison '�yill be enn- ployed ; continually estimates, measurements and verifications are if necessary. SUPI:RINTENDFNT18 REPORT. 25 A complete scheme of industrial instruction for your schools would include for boys and girls alike, modeling in clay, drawing and such other forms of hand training as are adapted to general school-room practice. Also, in addition, for girls, the various kinds of needle-work, and the elements of cooking and household science. For boys, the use of the tools employed in the working of wood and metal. Sewing has alreadv been taught in your schools for two years with profitable results. The first year the subject was in charge of a lady perfectly competent to plan the work and to superintend all work under the plan. Her engagements did not permit her to assume the supervision for a second year. This last year the work has been planned and superintended by the regular teachers. There are difficulties in the present way of conducting the subject, and the subject is too intimately related to the future welfare of the girls not to be taught in the best way. The present teaching lacks concert of action and definiteness of plan ; parents some- times decline to furnish the necessary material ; and sometimes the articles sent to be used are not well-suited to the state of ad- vancement of the child. It is recommended that in September there be appointed a special teacher of sewing; that she be authorized to prepare a plan of work, such as has been approved by experience in communi- ties where the subject has long been taught; that she visit the Grammar schools of the three lowest grades and give instruction, as the teachers of music and drawing are wont to do; that in her discretion she furnish material to children unprovided with it, or provided with that which is unsuitable; and that the sum of$250 be appropriated to pay for instruction and material. It is also recommended that in September there be attached to the Grant Grammar School a manual training department. Though there are many reasons for the establishment of such a department, but three will be given. 0.) Because a knowledge of the use of the universal tools is a necessary part of every boy's preparation for life. What Hain 26 SUPE'RTNTENDENTIS DEPORT. I us has not seen the time when his usefulness and happi- ness were—or would have been—increased by his own personal skill in the use of the are, the hamster, the saw, the 61ane, the chisel, and the,file? The schools teach girls needle-work—and ought to do it— because women, whether wives or spinsters, universally need and practise this household accomplishment. On the same grounds of man's universal need to use tools, and of his universal actual use of tools in a skilful or unskilful way, the school training of boys in industrial processes finds abundant warrant. (z.) Because instruction in manual training keeps boys longer in school. Out of numerous proofs two must here suffice. The Superintendent of Schools of Toledo declares that manual training has increased the attendance in his school which gives it 11 folly ogre-third." The Superintendent of Schools of Omaha testifies, that of sev- enty-nine boys who began manual training in his school work- shop, sevent),:§je continued to the end of the course. (3.) 11 Because it will increase the bread-winning and home- making power of the boy who has his bread to win and his home to make. A successful dentist in New York attributes his professional suc- cess to the training he received as a boy in a general repair-shop. A noted surgeon says, that his ability to make his own tools was the foundation of his success. A graduate of a manual training school began work in a factory for turning corn-cob pipes and stems. In a few days he ranked with any of the fifty men in the shop. Soon he saw a possible improvement in the tools employed. Then with a new tool made by himself, he nearl}, doubled his producing power. A young fellow, trained in the theory and use of tools, hap- pened to pass a gang of workmen endeavoring to move an im- mense safe. The unwieldy mass had partly slipped from their grasp, and all etlorts to bring it again under control seemed to fail. The young fellow volunteered his help. In a few minutes SUPERINTENDENT S REPORT. 27 afterward, the safe was manageable. As the volunteer turned to go, a gentleman present offered him $3000 a year to superintend the moving of safes." But why multiply instances? Everybody is aware that the world rates and pays men, not for what they know, but for what they can do. There are but two noteworthy objections to the establishment of the annex proposed. The first is the cost. But the good things of life are apt to be costly. Your fine streets and sidewalks are costly ; your electric lights are costly ; the educational privileges you already offer are costly. In Patagonia there is no outlay for any of these things. The only question here to be raised is, Will the wider and more useful lives opened by this training in matters fundamentally important justify the cost of the training? The second objection is; that any addition to the present occu- pations of the school would impair its efficiency. But educational success does not altogether depend upon the length and number of recitations. Within twenty years Music and Drawing have been added to the list of school employments; and yet the children read better, spell better, and write better than they did twenty years ago. Improved methods are more than a counterpoise for increased burdens. Further, if thought necessary, some subject might be taught less fully than now, and the time for manual training thus secured. The writer's experience in counting-rooms long since convinced him that much of the school work in Arithmetic—though valuable for the intellectual discipline it gives—has little .business utility. Whatever provision is made for the :uinex proposed must be made by a special appropriation. Since 1875, there has gradually been organized in the schools of Jamestown, N. Y. a thoroughly graded course of industrial instruction. This course is inexpensive and capable of easy intro- 25 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. duction into the six lower grades of your schools,—or up to the level of the Grant Grammar. Many of its employments have already found their way into these grades of your schools, and the introduction of the rest, with such modifications as may seem advisable, will be but an expan- sion of existing and approved methods of hand training. If the Committee consent, a course based on the Jamestown experiences will. in September next, be tested in your schools. In the annual attempt to dismember Watertown, her police, her fire department, her streets, and her schools come into comparison with the like possessions of a border city. She has hitherto found—and it is hoped will long continue to find—security against assault in the excellence of her public works and of her public institutions. For a defence in which one may perpetually trust, it is not sufficient that the schools be well taught and pro- gressive ; they must be in the front of the educational advance. They must discover and adopt every improvement in text-book, apparatus, method. and organization. They must be quick to see any enlargement of their province. They must have teachers whose capacity, skill and success are things of proof instead of promise. They must look for example and inspiration to what is best in the country and the world, to intelligences like Thring and Arnold and Pestalozzi and F roebel. Respectfully submitted. GLO. R.

The operations in the use and management of the Public Li- brary during the past year, have been identical with its entire history. It has received its accustomed support, and responded to whatever calls that were made upon it. Its daily allhirs have been in charge of the same persons as heretofore and they are en- titled to renewed commendation for the intelligent and faithful manner in which their numerous duties have been performed. The character and quality of its books designate the character and quality of the library; and for which, neither its founders nor any board of trustees are entirely answerable. To furnish whatever book-room " called for" has been the good-natured policy in public libraries generally, and the same was adopted in ours by special vote in its earlier years. These " calls" have been based upon tastes and habits in reading, which existed very nearly in their present bent and strength a long time before the existence of tree public libraries. Here lies the power " behind the throne" of the board of trustees that is answerable for much that is placed, willingly or unwillingly, upon the li- brary shelves. Two general classes of books, in greater or less proportions of number and sway,—one of them is called fiction, the other includes everything else. The latter class constitutes by far the larger part of the stock; the former has the larger num- ber of << calls" at the delivery desks of public libraries yet heard from. The annual record of the delivery of books in our own library has always shown a majority on the side of fiction. This has been deci casing somewhat in late years, probably on account of a dearth of new supplies ; as a smaller proportion of these titles 4 'rItC STEESI REPORT. will be found in the more recent annual catalogues. The still large percentage of this class of reading is maintained only by a resort to the antiquated specimens that have been slumbering in dust these many years; some of these that were supposed to be entirely dead, turned out to be only in a state of suspended ani- mation. To many readers who have recently CG become of age," they have reappeared in their original freshness and vigor. The use of the public library was mainly intended to be made at home; and that is undoubtedly the place where reading and study can be pursued with more pleasure and profit than in any place of public resort that can be provided. Yet a reading-room in connection with the public library is necessary for the use of those,books that arc not permitted to be carried away; which department we have always had and still have; and for its special use, a sum equal to one-fourth of the annual expenditure for books has been applied to the subscription for periodicals. And its accommodations are ample for a larger patronage than it has yet received. A considerable collection of books has been purchased from the library of the late Rev. Convers Francis, a former minister of the First Parish, so-called. He was always, while in town, the chairman of the general School Committee, and a devoted friend to its educational interests. The memory of a late townsman of such scholarly habits and such an example of the results of dili- gent and profitable reading, is worthy of this present reminder. The library has been presented with his portrait and has also been made the custodian of a large collection of his sermons in the original manuscripts, as delivered to the people of his charge fifty years ago. A peculiarity in the construction of the coping of the walls of the library building has made necessary some repairs and requires further protection from the same liability in future. The projec- tion of the eaves is foruned by blocks of freestone ; the mortar, or cement falling out of the joints between these blocks admits water and endangers the wall by the action of frost. The remedy pro- TRUSTEES REPORT. 5 posed by experts is a continuous sheet of lead or copper, soldered to the gutter and bent over the edge of the coping. A communication has been received from Mr. Charles Pratt of Brooklyn, -N. Y., through a correspondence with Mr. S. F. Whitney, -%N'itli the proposal of a donation to the town, the income of which, to be used in a specified manner in aid of an addr.'lional reading-room department, to be fitted up and furnished in the basement of the library building by the town ; the proposed fund to be applied solely to the furnishing of reading-matter and to be known as the " Asa Pratt Fund." This has been considered by the trustees, and not being in agreement as to its acceptance, refer the subject without recommendation, to the consideration of the town at the annual meeting in March, at which time and place the original proposition will be presented. The statistics of the library will be found in frill, as heretofore, in the annexed report of the Librarian. The sum of$25oo and the dog fax is proposed for the usual purposes of the library. including fuel. Statement of Aniounts Received and 1.'xpended by the Trus- tees for the Year 2887.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. To the Trustees :— GENTLEMEN,—In accordance with the requirements of Article ninth of the rules and regulations of this library, it becomes my duty, as it is my pleasure, to lay before you my twentieth annual report. It is pleasant to record the fact that the library has been used to a greater extent the past year than in any other year since it was established, and this to one less familiar with the work of the library in the town, its capability for usefulness, and the possi- bility of far greater and more widely extended usefulness would be a sufficient reward for many years of interesting labor. Can you not arouse the town to a bit of enthusiasm this year in making a little extra effort to show what such an institution as this should be in this community? That the circulation is larger than ever before is no reason for relaxed effort in calling for support, both moral and material. Standing behind the desk,one is very often obliged to meet enquiries for new books with a negative, to answer the call for special works with the reply, for example, of the obliging salesman with scanty stock, 'I I am sorry to say we are not yet able to place the desired work before you." i6 We have many good standard works, and much good reading, but the particularwork you ask for is not yet on the shelves." I have never before felt the need of more money in the library so keenly as during the past year. Of course we cannot have all books which are called for, not all new bnoks even, but most people are reasonable and easily satisfied. If the town could do with a little less for roads, for schools, for police, or for some other department, one feels like saying, or at any rate grant a little more LIBRARIANS REPORT. 7 for the purchase of books, they would be laying up treasures which, like the farmer's investments in good seed,they might expect to re- ceive again with increase. The number of books added the past year is larger than for many years, thanks to friends of the library who have given nearly half of them. In Appendix III. will be found the names of do- nors with the number of volumes or pamphlets presented by them,-516 volumes and 14--3 pamphlets. These considerable gifts justify the wisdom of the town in erecting this special build- ing for the library, and we may confidently expect to receive other gifts from those who would like to have their fellow-men enjoy what they have enjoyed and have no further use for, or who are desirous of having their names and memory connected with an institution the benefit and permanence of which is now so well assured. Of the books purchased, nearly half (7-78 volumes) were from the library of Dr. Francis. It seemed a great pity that the appropriation available for books was so small that not a larger portion of this very valuable library could be obtained. It seemed very desirable that many of the volumes collected and used in this town by so thorough a scholar, should have found a resting-place here and have been able to continue their usefulness where so much needed. Of the remaining volumes some valuable books (53 volumes) were purchased at auction at very low prices, and some (Ioi volumes) in great and constant demand, popular works of fiction and of general literature, were purchased at small cost, being duplicates of another library. You have placed duplicate sets of several writers in new and excellent editions on the shelves, to the delight of many readers. Among these I may mention those charming historical works of C. C. Coffin, the suggestive stories of Miss Alcott, also the admirable works of Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, and an elegant set of George Eliot, for whose works there is now a greatly increased demand. When I have men- tioned these it will be seen that there is small margin left, in the 610 volumes purchased, for miscellaneous works. I wish you had L IBRARIAN'9 REWOIZT. a supply of funds to enable you to take advantage of the opportu- nities that sometimes otter in the breaking up and sale of valuable libraries, as well as to keep the library well supplied with all new works which it is for the interest of publishers to so thoroughly advertise and for critics to so praise that they are well known by most of our readers. There is a time in the history of ,almost ev- ery popular book when the attention of the public is I'ull upon it, when if it is of real worth it would be best to put it into circu- lation. Something has been done to continue and extend the use of the library among the pupils of the public schools. If your librarian or some person who has been through with the scope of studies of the schools and has some knowledge of the books that would supplement the text-books, or the work of the teachers, could be always within call, a far greater amount of good would be done in this direction. I think the town could well afford to keep a skillful teacher in such a position of usefulness. It %vill be better understood in the future. There are several clubs pursuing lines•of study, in particular di- rections in town which have made special use of the library and to whom special privileges have been accorded where it could be done without interfering with the regular administration of the library. To any students having special need of books not in con- stant demand, aid has always been given when requested. The library- is constantly increasing its service to such. It should be the purpose of the public library, it seems to some of the best educators in this country and in England where such enthusiastic attention is being given to public libraries, to give special facilities to all students making systematic study of any subject affecting the general welfare, and it is getting to be more and more common to provide for such not only regular lines of the best books, but special facilities for their examination and use in separate rooms or on separate tables where the work may be pursued in quiet from day to day. Unfortunately for this purpose our rooms are all thrown together. Whcn one first enters our LIBRARIAN S REPORT. 9 front door he may be pleased to see the entire area of space before him in almost unobstructed vision. The farthest corner of the book room, however, from the peculiar construction of its ceiling, echoes every word spoken, as for instance at the desk, where in- quiries must he made and answered. The planning of the interior one feels was made rather with reference to the eye than to the ear. If it were possible to obtain by partitions or other means, separ- ate rooms, say one for your own use for your meetings, which might be used at other times by students and for special works, and others for different classes from the schools, or of mechanics or business men interested for a time in special topics, it would be a very great gain. The united States Board of Education has recently published a remarkable paper by Prof. Adams of the Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore, showing how, not only at the universities so called, but in the people's universities scat- tered all over the land, the public libraries, the study of history may be encouraged in. a more rational, interesting and eiiective manner by furnishing to students special rornns with tables and cases for the temporary use of the particular books required for a while from the main library. We have only one room. A word spoken in an ordinary tone in any part of it, may be heard in any other part. In my report of last year, I said, I cannot help feeling that the library is not doing for the large class of our people less accus- tomed to the use of books, the work it might and ought to do. If it is not thought best for the town to incur the expense necessar}, I wish some generous and able friend of the well being of our com- munity, could see it in his heart to give money, by will or other- wise. to establish in the basement where there is ample unused space, a reading-room that would prove attractive to all business or working men, as it might, with its store of native and foreign illustrative trades journals quid periodicals, of which there are many published in this country and abroad Such a reading-room as they have in some places which we might mention. which 10 L11MARIAN'S REPORT. proves useful in itself, and which leads to the reading of books from the library above, seems to me the thing most needed to ex- tend the usefulness of this institution to a larger number of the citizens of this town, to the ones who now seldom use it at all." What was said then, and similar things said since, almost in despair of seeing it quickly realized, I am happy to say has found a place in the heart of a former son of this town, who, as you know,offers to bear more than half of the expense of fitting up such a reading-room. Mr. Charles Pratt, of Brooklyn, New York, offers to establish a fund of five thousand dollars ($5,000), in memory of his father, Mr. Asa Pratt, the income of which shall forever supply such a reading-room or reading-rooms with such material, if the town will only make the changes necessary to make such unused room available for such purpose. I hope the town will be wise and generous enough to itself to meet this offer half way and appropriate a like amount—though a much smaller amount might be sufficient for immediate needs—to provide a good entrance from the front, plenty of light—there is already provision for heat for this room—and other smaller rooms which can be used for purposes already mentioned. One small room for patent office reports and another for gov- ernment documents could be used for consultation of these works, and at times for other similar studies. Space which will soon be greatly needed on the floor of the book-room can thus be ob- tained, and the necessity of erecting balconies with another tier of shelves can be postponed a few years longer. If there are any other sons of this town who, with good fortune abroad, have not forgotten their old affection for the home of their childhood, who are willing to establish other funds for any pur- pose within the scope and legitimate beneficient work of our library, I hope they will have God-speed and a hearty welcome. We could use now to very great advantage what the town hardly feels able to provide at once, one, two, three, or even five thousand dollars, for inrnrediate fiurchase of books of refer- ence. One may say, why not name a larger sum since there is LIBRARIANS REPORT. 1Y no limit to books. I have become accustomed to look at small sums, and think how much good could be done even by these. The library in its usefulness is a plant of slow growth, depending upon the material furnished for its nutriment it is true, but still a growth. If I have not already shown my faith in the value and my hope for the permanency of this instiution, by the service of my best hours for the best twenty years of my life, no words I can write now will have weight. But I cannot see how any one can more appropriately leave a monument to the memory of his family or himself than by erecting here a fiend, which, from the very nature of the case, must excite feelings of gratitude in the hearts of those benefitted by it through all coming time. The library has received from Mr. Wm. P. Harris a very val- uable addition to its set of Watertown public documents. The same gentleman has put the town under obligation also in giving to the library a chair. in a fine state of preservation, from the old church that stood in the old churchyard, now the Common Street Cemetery. There may be other valuable mementoes of the past in the possession of families now living within the ancient terri- torial limits, or in distant parts of the country, which their pos- sessors would be willing to contribute if a suitable place can be prepared for them in our building. Some one—I have not been able to find who—has sent to the library a pair of ancient brass candlesticks, which doubtless have a history. Will the donor please add the history, which would give them special significance. Mr. David B. Flint, always our friend and benefactor, now a resident of Boston, has given an engraving, beautifully framed, with portraits of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. A fine portrait of Dr. Francis, painted by Alexander, given by his heirs, has been received from Mr. John Allyn, and hung on the walls. Two ancient legal documents have been given by Mr. C. F. Fitz. The Hollingsworth and Whitney Com- pany has continued to send the library our supply of covering paper during the past year, as for several previous years. 12 LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. During the past rear, over nine hundred volumes have been re- bound, at a cost of a little over two hundred dollars. It would be well to continue this work of rebinding many of our books, which by constant use for five, ten, and even twenty years, have come to need such attention. Provision will need to be made this year for the binding also of the pamphlets, which have accumulated during the past two years. These pamphlets in sets, especially in bindings which preserve and make them easily accessible,are becoming more and more valuable. The products of the pens and brains of the best men of the age are often found thus pub- lished. There are frequent calls for the volumes of several val- uable reviews and magazines of which we have not yet complete files. I hope a special eflbrt will he made this year to complete a few of these sets, as well as to bind up some of•our miscellaneous pamphlets of which we have quite a store. It is for those who vote the funds to say whether works of cur- rent literature are furnished in sufficient amount and with sufficient promptness. This is a matter that requires no expert knowledge. It is simply a question of demand and finds for supply. While it is always pleasant to be able to hand out the book whose praise is in every paper and magazine, and on every lip, it pleases the librarian more, perhaps, to bring out forgotten lore, to pile up before the reader unexpected treasures of knowledge on some particular subject of inquiry, or to lead the curious to some old inexhaustible mine whence came the material from which much that has been written since has been wrought. The usual annual examination of the library has been made this year without closing for the purpose, although this is a work of greater and greater difficulty. Over 1,200 volumes were found not in their places. These were all charged as in the hands of readers, or were undergoing repairs, or were found displaced, ex- cept one volume,—less than one-third of one hundreth of one per cent. of the volumes circulated. A volume not found last year and one not found the year before, have come to light and have been restored to the library. Quite a number of volumes are I.I BR ARL•1NT'S REPORT. 13 worn out, and should either be replaced or discarded from the library. I have already called your attention to some leaks which have appeared in the roof, which will require attention soon. Another more serious one has just appeared as we go to press. The present supplement is the seventh since the last catalogue was published, which will oblige readers to look through eight alphabets before they can determine that any particular work is not in the library. Come provision for a card catalogue for pub- lic use, or for consolidating the supplements, or perhaps the cata- logue and supplements, should be arr:utged for soon. This must necessarily involve considerable labor and expense and can be best managed by taking plenty of time for it. If a card catalogue should be prepared for public use in the reading-room, lists of classes of books most called for might be, printed for home use. The character of the circulation as shown by statistics kept with great care is not very different from that given last year, Of the whole number issued, 34,251 volumes, 6,2o3 were juveniles, or about eighteen per cent. of the whole number, and t 2,6S4 vol- umes fiction, or thirty-seven per cent. of the whole number. Thus, the classes of fiction and juveniles together are only about fifty-five per cent. of the whole. If we should exclude from this computation the volumes used in the building, we should find these two classes together about sixty-one per cent. of those taken away for home reading. Of course the classes of books of travels and geography, bi- ography and history, science, art, poetry and general literature are correspondingly increased.* The history.of the library is all within the memory of all active citizens ; but perhaps few realize how large a factor the reading here encouraged and made possible if not originated, has been in the education of many just entering upon the busy walks of life. *Juveniles, .20I : Fiction, .410; Geography and Travel, .07; Art and Gen.

It is to such as these that the library must look for its justification and support. In the hands of these and their immediate associ- ates I would willingly trust its welfare. To these I would appeal to pay the common debt of gratitude for blessings received, by ever speaking the word that shall show their estimate of its value and thus to stimulate others to its support and use through the ever-fluting present. If none such can be found to justify its ex- pense and care, then no arguments of its supporters can long avail. Gentlemen, with a feeling that the library will long continue to exist and exert its beneficent influence when we shall have closed our connection with it, and in spite of our little mistakes, and thanking you for continued courtesy during these many years, this report is Most respectfully submitted. SOLON F. WHITNEY. Librai-iaii. APPENDIX I, I have been directed by vote of the Trustees to recite in brief the history of an oilbr to the town, alike creditable to the place of his birth and to his own desire—in memory of his father—to be of use to those who begin life where he began his. In November of last fall, Mr. Charles Pratt called at the library with Mr. H. W. Otis, bought a catalogue of an attendant, re- ceived copies of the last two reports of the library, and asked many questions about the administration, use, extent and charac- ter of the collection, the building, the rcading-rooms, etc. The next day the librarian returned the call at Mr. Otis' house and was very cordially received. After some conversation in regard to the great work which Mr. Pratt had undertaken in the city in which he resides, for the education of the poorer classes of the community, especially of those fitting to d.) the work of the future, the librarian reminded him of a clause in his last report LIBRARIANS REPORT. 15 showing an opportunity-to do a good work in the same direction in his native town. The idea was like good seed fallen into good ground. It was pleasantly entertained. The only question seemed to be whether such a work would be appreciated ; whether the town would be willing to shoe- its appreciation of in eflort for its improvement in this direction. The librarian showed him, that although the town had always moved with great caution and prudence, it had generally responded to all efl'orts so far, by appropriating from public funds raised by taxation in amount equal to that given by private benefaction. After considerable correspondence on the subject in which Mr. Pratt has shown interest in his native town and especially interest in the establishing of in additional reading-room which should be useful to the working men,—which should. furnish material for thought both to interest and INSTRUCT,-has finally decided to oflcr the town a fund of five thousand dollars, the interest of which may supply such a room with current literature of the kind desirable for such purpose for the next fifty years and leave the capital nearly doubled for the following fifty years, and so on as long as it can be well managed, with the simple condition that the town shall fit up such room or rooms with an inviting entrance from the street, and provide for the lighting and care of the same. At Mr. Pratt's request, a paper is being drawn by a legal gen- tleman of this town to express exactly the conditions of the gift, which will be laid before the town at the proper time. In the basement there is nearly as much available space as on the floor above. The larger part of this roorn is already partly finished in a manner suitable for this purpose. The origii4al archi- tects of the building and an eminent architect resident in town, whose judgment few would call in question, pronounce the plan feasible and in harmony with the rest of the building and that the cost of such changes would probably fall considerably within the sum proposed to be given by M r. Pratt. In making arrangement for this Reading Room it will be easy, 16 LIBRARIAN'S Itt.PORT. by the introduction of a few brick partitions, to obtain several small rooms very greatly needed for Patent Office reports and their proper consultation, with tables for drawing, and for Gov- ernment Documents and tables for their consultation. It would be quite in harmony with the spirit and intention of the benefaction, and also with the administration of this new part of the library in making more useful in this direction the art treasures of the library above, to offi:r some facilities for the formation of classes in industrial and mechanical drawing by furnishing at such time as not to interfere much with regular li- brary hours, room for the work and opportunity for that instruc- tion for which there has already been expressed a great desire and for which we have several young men already fitted as teachers by study and practice in a neighboring city. The proposed Reading Room, especially with the accompany- ing study or reference rooms attached, would give needed accom- modation for books already beginning to crowd our large upper book room , would relieve the tables of our present reading rooms from the more popular periodicals, and so leave to students now constantly increasing in number, greater facility to quietly pursue their investigations or their reading; and would, without doubt, if we can judge from the experience of other libraries, prove to be an of9en ri'oor through which would come a constant- ly increasing stream of readers from the ranks of those who have not yet formed the habit of learning much from the printed page. As the library supplements and supports, enforces and illus- trates the teaching of the public schools, and carries on its work through all the succeeding years of busy life, thus making the large appropriations for their support doubly effective, so would this new Reading Room specially illustrate and continue the work of theeveningschools,and with the additional rooms, might enable teachers and those who wish special aid in practical directions, to come together for a few of the evening hours to the great improve- ment in the product of more intelligent labor, to the great advan- tage of the whole town. LIBR.ARLAN18 REPORT. 17 In view of these facts, can there be Any doubt in the mind of any one as to the wisdom of the town in Appropriating a like sum of money to make the needed changes in the building and in im- proving or introducing and, similar needed changes to make the building better able to carry out the work contemplated by the intent and spirit of this proposed private gift SOLON F.
