The schools, as a whole, throughout the Year have tained a fair degree of excellence, althnu�•h main_ they are in all respects satisfactm• a we cannot say that teachers are much su superior to Y to the Committee. Some changes that necessarilyta1;e others, but in the frequent r One reer, the different schools share boat aline new teacher is alwain thisorespectno ys in some xperiment, The degree an e Committee try to procure the best they can for'tbe moue at their command. At the beginning of y were made, occasionE'ae year several changes edni part by r transfer from one scesignationl. ar➢d in part by hool to another, Dr,4TRICT No At the close of the Spring terga llliss Cora Alger, whe has taught this school for several years witU good satisfaction to the Committee and to the peoplc of t lhe district, as we ke- ieve, resigned to accept a better positom. The Co then secured the services of Hiss mmittee Ciar;� A. Tisdale. It was found impossiUle to procure a boarding place for her is the district, and the only practicable way was for her to r I, at the Centre. This necessitated considerable expense in trans- 56 porting her to and from school. Under the circumstances the Committee deemed it proper for them to assume this expense, and to shorten the term enough to bring the total expenditure within the usual limit. At the beginning of the Winter term a boarding place was found near the school-bouse, and the ex- tra expense discontinued. Outline mans for the walls are much needed, and some other small school furnishings. There has. never been a well in connection with the school -house, and the Chldren have to trespass upon the patience and good nature of neighbors for water. it seems to the Committee that there should be means for procuring water on the grounds. DISTRICT No. 3. The former teacher, Miss Alice Renton, has been retained during the year. The Committee regret to announce that she has resigned to accept a better position elsewhere. The school. property is all in good repair. DISTRICT No. 3. Miss Nettie O. Could, who taught here very acceptably for several terms, yielded to stronger inducements than we Could offer and left us at the end of the Spring term. She was succeeded by Mrs. L. E. Comey, who is doing excellent work. We consider the district fortunate in retaining her for the. Coming year. This house having been so recently built is also in excel- lent condition. - DISTRICT No. 4. There has beef no change of teachers in this school dur- ing the year. The need of more room increases every year. These are often as many as seventy little ones crowded togeth- er in the First Primary room. This is twice as many as should 57 be given to one teacher. The other rooms are also Sev- ernl means of relief have suggested themselves. One method is to enlarge the present building. A second proposition is to build a nets house at the north end and divide the Still another suggestion iswhole school. , to build a secondem near tile aller building shall recee present one, and have a, Grammar department which ive scholars from all parts o£ the town, with the exception of No. 5, and serve as a Perhaps, for the High School. This plan commends itself quite department bly to the Committee it quite favora- > as would ensure a much better stand- ard of examination for entrance to the High School. The recent firee,nforned a delay of a week for temporary repairs, it beim* pal t for permanent best to wait until the Spring vacation repairs. The cellar is in a condition not be allowed to exist. It cothat should nsists of a pit dug Under the eastportion of the building, in'the bottom of which aro loca- ted the furnaces. There is no light whatever admitted except through a few crevices that nature has kindly furnished. It is small, inconvenient and unsafe. The cellar should be enlarged and windows put in. A few dollars judiciously . effect the change, expended will The attendance, particularly among the younger scholars, Las been somewhat irregular on account of whn ins and other children's diseases. The Intermediatep o cough closed several days last term b room was Bess, when a substitute was proo�redason of Miss Dean's sick - DISTRICT No. 5. Miss Hattie E. Perry was transferred in the Sing 1 prfrom No. G to the Primary in No. 5. Miss E. A Sargent, who came highly recommended, both as disoiplivariari and teacher, took oharge of the Grammar ronin. She found the school in bad condition, but soon brought it to excellent order. She, also, left in the summer, partly on account of ill -health, and partly because we were unable to pay her sufficient salary. She was succeeded by Miss Etta Coggeshall. Sickness of the teacher occasioned a week's delay during the winter. In the Primary room the seats are not sufficient in number _ to accommodate the pupils, and are, besides, badly worn and uncomfortable. They should be replaced with new ones. DISTRICT NO. G. Upon Miss Perry's transfer to No. 5 she was succeeded by Miss Abby Coggeshall. The scholars in this district enjoy the benefit of a fund which allows them several weeks more school than the other districts have. Some slight outlay on the build- ing will probably be required during the coming year. DISTRIcr No. 7. Miss Lizzie Blake, who has taught here for a number of terms past, has continued through the .year. We note quite an increase in the number of scholars over that of a year ago. DISTRICT No. 8. Miss Maria L. Aldrich came here in the Spring; no other change has been made during the year. If the town is to con- tinue three separate schools in the west part a new school house is needed. The seating capacity is large enough, but the building is old, the room is very small, and there are no proper means of ventilation. It must be injurious to the health of teacher and pupils to sit in this room. The same faults may he. found with No. 7, except that the building there is in better. repair. There is no well in connection with either school- house. .59 HIGII SCHOOL. The Spring term of the Iligh School opened in the new Town Hall bnildmg. Through the efforts of teacher and pu- pils a cabinet o,gan has been bought and placed In the school- room. Additional apparatus and books of reference are de- sirable and will doubtless come in time. There were six grad- uates in the class of last year. Thirty-fi admitted. ve candidates for admis- sion presented themselves for examination, of whom ten were CHANGE OF TEACHER. It is a fact vmy much to be regretted that our schools have to suffer from too frequent change of teachers. There is no doubt that a teacher can do better work the second year than the first, and the third year should show still further improve- ment. It takes time for the teacher to become acquainted with thepupils and to adapt himself to their peculiar charac- teristics; therefore the fewer changes there are, the better. There are numberless reasons for these changes; wl but one, -which is the most common of all, is that of salary, and the town can arrange to meet this satisfactorily if it wisheNo sn -'sooner do we obtain an uusually competent s. teacher s.that, it becomes known to oar neighbors and offers of schools as de- sirable as ours with higher salaries attached come pouring in. The teacher states the case to us, but we can do nothing. 'We are already paying all zve can with the appropriation we have. The result is the teacher resigns to go elsewhere and we are obliged to stand with hands tied and watch the departure. The only thing that prevents as from having more inexperien- ced teachers than we do is that we have some good teachers who are residents of this town, and are therefore willing to teach for a low salary rather than go away from home.

The only thing that prevents as from having more inexperien- ced teachers than we do is that we have some good teachers who are residents of this town, and are therefore willing to teach for a low salary rather than go away from home. We submit the question, °`Is it possible that the town of Mansfield will allow its schools to be used as a training ground by inex- perienced teachers in order that they may be fitted for our neighbors?" We believe not, and hope the time will come when, having obtained a desirable teacher, the question of sal- ary shall not prevent us from retaining him. Ll?SCTn OF SCHOOL YE&R. The schools in town, with the exception of No. 6 which has a fund, and the High School, are in session thirty.four weeks in a year. The best educators recommend a school year of about forty weeks. The nearer we approach this number, the better. We therefore earnestly advocate the addition of at least two weeks, and in order to accomplish this, the appro- priation for schools will have to be slightly increased to meet the,additional expense.
