The new catalogues were ready for delivery in th, spring, soon after the last annual report was issued Since the cataloguewent to print there have been adder about 120 volumes, of which quite a lame number . ar( public documents. Our thanks are due to Hon. E. A. Morse for continues supply of bound volumes of the Congressional Record, which are not free like most of the other Government publications, but Mr. Morse kindly furnishes them with- out expense to us. They contain full reports of all the proceedings and debates in Congress, and are very useful to any who wish to inform themselves on all sides of the various financial, tariff or other important questions which engage the attention of that body. The Reading Room table is supplied` with arper's Monthly, Cosmopolitan, Review of Reviews and the Scientific American. Ninety-one volumes have been re -bound, quite a num- ber replaced by new copies, and a few withdrawn that were worn out. The Librarian reports the total circulation for the year as 10,296; average on Saturdays, 153; on Tuesdays, 45 ; with an average classification, based on Saturday's circulation, as follows ® .Biography, 6 Juvenile, 31 ; Diction, 98; .Miscellaneous, 9'-.); History, 4 ; Poetry, 5. Cards have been issued to 146 new borrowers. There are, perhaps, some who do not understand that - the first figure in the number of a book indicates nits class. All books whose catalogue. number begins with 1 are Biographical; for instance, 10`75 is "The Life of Abraham Lincoln." Those beginning with 2 are classed as Ju ven- 1 71 3, Fiction; 4, Miscellaneous; 5, History; 6, Poetry; Terence Books. he Trustees recommend an apprQpriation of four ,ed ' dollars.

The schools `kept pace with this increase. east 'year the ber enrolled was 746, and this year for the same )d the number is 787. Unfortunately, this )d covers only the spring and fall terms, as the year begins in April, and the registers from h these- facts are taken begin the enrollment at ►egi.nning of the spring terns. The last printed rt of the State Board of Education, which is now and, giving the returns for the year 1593-94, the whole number enrolled for that year as 707. L this it will be readily seen that when the 6 returns are made next spring, with 787 at present and those who enter our schools for the first time during the coming term, the number will be greatly increased. With 787 names upon the enrollment sheets, and .691 reported at the close of the fall term, there must have been a loss of 96 pupils from. our schools during these few months. It simply shows what a floating - population there is even in a small town, and what disadvantages many children are forced to encounter; in getting their education. As they go from us into other communities, they may go into sclj�:ools with dif- ferent grading, using books with which they are not familiar, and losing some valuable time in getting used to their new surroundings. We meet with the same difficulty in receiving pupils from other towns. In. some subjects they are farther advanced than our-- grades, ur -grades, in others they are behind ; some subjects that they have taken we have not, and the reverse is also, true. Even bright pupils are so handicapped that they have to lose one of two terms, and perhaps a year, before they become adjusted to our arrange- ments. It has been a pleasure during the year to promote from a lower grade to a higher some pupils who were behind in, one or more subjects, thus preventing as much loss as possible. The number of different teachers employed during the year shows an improvement over last year, and this improvement would have been more manifest had we r 7 more successful in securing the right teacher for Williams School during the fall term. The ters that were selected came to us with a success- .sperience and guarantees ofgood scholarship, hey dict not prove the right combination for us_ tintil nearly the close of the term were we suc- al in securing just what was wanted. With this J in good condition, and the High School with ,w principal working harmoniously and success - the year closes with a strong corps of teachers, he ,prospect of a prosperous year before us, if services can be retained. am well aware of the fact that it is impossible to �achers who never make mistakes and who can everybody. They are human, and have their but one has more charity for faults if they A too serious and a positive detriment to the 1, especially when he tries to get some one to fill places. While first-class teachers are willing to a graded schools, it is a most difficult thing to rch teachers to take a mixed school of many and keep it year after year. Ambitious young ,rs are willing to take up with whatever offers to experience which may be gained, but when Kperience is secured they seek a more congenial anda;re successful in getting it. may not be out of place to give a little of the .ence of ' the past year in securing a teacher for graded 'school - There were three candidates position at the opening of the term. It was r i £F (I 10 N£E necessary to inquire into their: fitness for the position and before the needed information was secured twt of them had succeeded in getting positions else, where. The third was taken, but after a few week she resigned, and another was secured. Within twc days after eiagaging her she found a position in Hyde Park, and resigned her engagement with us. A lady of three years experience in Maine, a college gradu- ate, teaching a mixed school for $6 a week was next jt{[!Ifii'ii promised, but she failed to put in an appearance, Being obliged to secure a teacher on short notice, five different agencies in Boston were visited, and carMi - dates near by the city were visited personally, but only one was found willing to undertake thework of an ungraded school. Not always is the case so difficult as this, but it is often likely to be, and, we bespeak the most cordial co-operation of parents and citizens € li;C,�ii`itl to help the 'teachers, who are denying themselves many of the privileges to which they have been 4 i 3 I�l�l accustomed In order thatthey may be of use in the S places to which they have been called. The sur- roundings are pleasant for you, for it is your home, but to a stranger they may be far different, and any thin which you can do to help .will be most rate g p g fully appreciated by those who have the care ands responsibility offurnishing a good school foryour' EYCtE(,E,i j children. Most gratefully at this time do we acknowled e - the evident interest in the schools by those parents � who could not conscientiously y sustain the m e teacher, but a I l� sulted freely with the officials of- the schools, and ted with patience until something better could be .Ight about. We consider this vastly better for all �Ierned than to take every statement that is made, rout hearing both sides of the question and acting 1rdingly. DRA WING. We have had the services of Miss Blaisdell for entire year, and the results, as shown upon the s of the Superintendent's office, were never more factory. We cordially invite an inspection of i by all who are interested, and at this time invite to inspect what may be put upon exhibition at close of this year, as well as the work which is ned' in the various school -rooms. In some schools will see mounted work, which is constantly ged as new and betters produced, and to those aro able to follow this change from month to h there is great encouragement. Like every- ; else which we can do well, we like to do it, and �ew ability to do creates new interest, so we are ng for even better results in the future. Begin - with the fall term a new departure was made the plan of last year in discarding books and ing'from natural objects, which we believe to be at step forward. ollowing is the report of the Supervisor of .ing 10 TO THE SUPERINTE\DENT -Dear Sir, --At your request I present to you my An- nual Report. The work of drawing is gradually advanc- ing, and the different grades are now doing work more suited to them than they were last year at this time. In June the drawing books were completed, and we had, be- side the work contained in these, many drawings on the manilla paper. At the close of the summer term, in ac- cordance with the wishes of the committee, some of the work was placed on the walls of the office in the Central school. Owing to the very small space 'very little work was shown, giving only a limited idea of our attempts for the ten months. ' If an exhibition is desired this' y ear, I would suggest that some larger room might be `secured, and a few standards provided upon which to place the drawings. The work in the two lowest grades has been almost identical with that of last year. We have taken' the twelve solids, endeavoring to study them carefully, and we have our stick -laying paper -folding, and color work. In teaching the youngest pupils, I have found that it was difficult for them to express their thoughts clearly, and that the imagination seemed cramped. I have been try- 21 ing to overcome these difficulties, keeping in view that « art is an expression and awakening of individual thought." In September of this year, blank drawing paper was substituted for the drawing books in all grades beginning with the third. The teachers have been furnished pro- grams adapted to their several grades. These programs have been made 'with reference to the three subjects Construction, the science and art of making diagrams or working drawings which give the facts of objects, and i' 1 from which objects may be constructed; Representation,` the science and art of 'delineating or representing objects as they appear -to the eye; Decoration, the science and art of producing beauty in ornament. The work, in comparison with that of last year, has improved, but in some cases I feel we may do much better. I have tried to devise some plan by which I could give more time to the larger schools, but my pres- ent plan of visiting each room and school once in two weeks seems to be the best one I can form, my time in Mansfield being limited. In the highest grammar room we are now ready for more advanced work than we have been doing, and I propose soon to give some geometric work, using the compass and rule. The High School work shows an improvement over that of last year, . and the pupils seem to grasp the subject more readily than they did. The principal deficiency is in representative drawing, and to overcome this we must t draw, draw, draw." I have found the teachers' meetings helpful; and sin- cerely hope the teachers themselves have derived some benefit from them. In our monthly meetings we have been over the regular work planned, trying to understand what we are presenting to the pupils, and to see the work crom an artistic standpoint. If we can realize that the aim and end of all education s the development of the individual creative ability, we will strive to develop this creative ability in an artistic Iirection. 16 The constructive and creative faculty is I or less in us all, else why have we this hand`: Are is uses exhausted in putting on our clothes, carrying bod to our mouth, grasping another hand, bearing arms n war time, or being doubled up into a fist, --this wonder- 12 ful nand, which from the world's foundation and crude substance makes its own tools, directs the most delicate instruments of science, and rules the heaviest machines? There is a clumsy managing or else a beautiful art in every human band. To do is more than to know." Respectfully yours, HARRIET BLAISDELL, Supervisor of Drawing. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Jan. 3, 1896. IIIGTH SCHOOL. We regret that the High School has had the attention of so many directed toward it during the pest year, because of the unenviable circumstances which have been connected with it We regret that the principal = who had devoted so much of her best energy to building up the school who brought an ability and enthusiasm to her work which it has been my good pleasure rarely to meet -- should close her labors so abruptly, and under such trying conditions. We regret that the class, which had shown such marked ability to learn, and among whom such pleasant relations existed, 'should have had anything to mar the closing days of their; school life. But as so much has been said already, let us now draw the thick veil of forgetfulness over the past, and,. with a forgiving_ spirit, determine that the kindly hand of Time shall_ l eal all differences, and ' the sad' 13 lerience ministerto the future good of all con= zed. The High School in September entered upon a r era in its history. A new principal, to fill the incy' caused by the resignation of Miss Briggs, placed in charge —a man who puts his best its into his school work, and who In his short among us, has interested his pupils along. many s which will bring most. excellent results ,when •ied to completion. Coming to us from a school chick he had tried his plans,.he' entered upon no eriment the result of which' would be doubtful. We commend most heartily the spirit with which has been received by the pupils, and the evident gess which has been made in these few weeks.. attendance, has been good. ' Very' few have ppea`out of the school, and this feature is worthy more than a passing notice' when compared with iy high schools. The standing of our school has 11 appreciated by the Town .of Norton, as we have gilled 'many of their pupils who seek an education and what is furnished by their public schools. We do not have the 'privilege of welcoming so iy visitors as we wish to see. We do not- expect ie able to satisfy all, but intelligent criticism can ie only from personal observation, and this we e.

Every avail- able place for 'seating has been occupied, and the, crowded condition of the school has render 6d the - most effective work very diff=icult.

The heating and ventilation of both thisand the f Briggs School are of necessity very detective. The - Williams School building g has a much better frame, and could be made much more attractive by repairing and reseating. By retaining this building, and secur- ing some central' location which would 'accommodate most of those who now attend the Balcom School and_ all of those who attend the Briggs, would not the I� health of the pupils and the efficiency of the schools. be greatly increased? We are not making these sumo bbestions as a matter I� of economy in money, for just as many teachers would be required as at present, but the grading could be so p much improved, and teachers of ability would find a �I� 16 17 position in a combined school so much more agree- b HISTO RIC DA YS. .able.

When we read in other reports of the new things introduced --such as cooking, sewing, kindergarten, manual training, military instruction, short -hand and typewriting, the enriching of the grammar school -course with algebra, geometry, Latin and modern languages —we. feel that thereis great room for enlargement. Many of these things seem utterly beyond our reach. Some of them might possibly be added with profit but with our present teaching force, which calls for all of our appropriation, some things which we now do must be omitted in order to make room for them. A great . cry is made in these -days against teaching so much arithmetic. `Ve put in as much time as ` any schools, and have as average .good teachers in this subject as any schools, and yet I have been chagrined at the meagre results produced .,on giving an examination prepared by a. superinten- ,dent in the western part of the State for his schools. We have discarded the non-essential subjects found in the arithmetics ; we have tried to teach one good method where there were many, so as not to confuse the pupil; our teachers have provided an almost end- -less variety of work taken from many sources„ outside 4 the text -book, and we find results such as to lead us to believe that we cannot yet give up any of the time allotted to arithmetic. We have made improve- ments in our spelling -books, in our histories and in your reading material during the past year, but in the 20 latter there is still large ro Especially is this truein the ul reading has, been wholly confin tory and geography outside books.

Were all the teachers required to make these reports, I am sure they would gladly perform the labor, and a fair trial might convince us all of its benefits. IN CONCLUSION. I desire to express my thanks to you for all the, kindnesses shown me during the past year, and in, like manner to thank the teachers for their hearty co-operation with me, and for their unselfish and_ painstaking efforts which they have put forth. ]dew, excepting those in close contact with these teachers,. know of the hours that they give to their schools beyond those required by the letter- of their engage- ment; and i how' many are the calls upon their nervous energy such as is required' in no other calling.

To have good and thorough `Fork done in our schools is the purpose which has actuated the Com- duringthe year.

These diplomas 43 only certified to the rank and scholarship, but also to an honorable rank in deportment. The pupils referred to, because of their non-com- pliance with the rules of the school and defiant remarks made by there in the school -room, were not entitled to receive a certificate of good behavior. The same penalty was enforced in the case of a pupil who was guilty of gross profanity. In respect to the imputation against us on reli- gious grounds, we would say that we were conscien- tiously free from any sectarian bias, and acted in the platter with honest impartiality. We had only feel- iugs of tender sorrow for those Nvho engaged ir. this revolt. The responsibility for the injury to our schools by the public commotion at that time rests entirely upon those who upheld and controlled the actions of these PUP ils-, in their disobedience and defiance of lawful authority. We firmly believe that it was not a true reg and for the welfare of the children or the public good which so resisted and assailed the School Com- mittee. We further believe that such proceedings were not sanctioned by the thoughtful, law-abiding eitizerns of our town. We are also impressed with the conviction that' in the future wiser counsels will prevail, and a' faithful effort in the discharge of public duty Will be better appreciated. J)Uring the year several earnest appeals have been made to the Committee setting forth the importance 44 �I effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and narcotics on the human system should be fully carried out. °i Temperance should be taught to the children in our schools, as should all the great ethical principles which underlie their `yell -being, and. give order to their lives. The Committee have done all in their power to enforce the reoalar attendance of all children who ! ought to be in school The two Randall children, who were committed to the State Board of Lunacy I and Charity, is the only case where . `ve have found any disposition to defy the law. Tn conclusion, we wish to express our gratitude AW to the many friends who have used their influence to help the school officers in their efforts to makeR the school work a success. WILLIAM H.
