ANNUAL REPORT OF SCHOOLS.
As the By-Laws, adopted at fire last Annual Town meeting,
require the Annual Report of the School Committee to be printed
with other Town Reports, your Committee have made their report of
~he schools for the Spring and Autumn terms and the financial report
to the 1st of January.
The large sum of money appropriated annually for the support of
the schools et' the Town should be wisely and economically expended~
that the best results may be attained. It has been the earnest endeav-
or of your Committee to so expend the funds placed at their disposal.
It is not claimed that thc results have been all ghat could be
desired, yet we feel sure that the schools are generally in good work-
ing order, and that nearly all our teachers have performed their work
faithfully and with good results. A teacher's ~ask is a trying one at
the best; and every conscientious teacher, whose whole energy is
devoted to his work, has a right to expect and to receive the support
of the parents, of his pupils and the pubilc, as well as that of the
Committee.
The School Buildings
are all in a good state of repair, with the exception of that at the
Centre. This will, as usual, require repairs to a greater or less
extent, ~nd is constantly depreciating.
As a matter of comfort and economy, it is considered desirable to
discontinue the use of the ,"urn ces, and to place one good stove in
each room.
The increasing population of the lgfer~?imac distric~ will require the
orection of a primary sel~oo! bu ding in the near £atur~.
Ungraded Schools.
The teachers of these schools have few scholars, but many classes.
A greater variety of talent is required to teach an ungraded school
successfully than to teach either a grammar or primary school.
The teacher needs to be fitted to teach all grades of classes, and
most possess sufficient executive ability to have proper centrol of the
pupils during the hoots o£intermission. The oversight of the pupils
in the schoolyard is often the hardest par~; of the principal's task.
We believe that these schools are fortunate in having teachers who
are not only well-fitted for their work, but who take a deep interest in
the welfare of their schools.
Vocal Music.
For two years l~r. Butterworth has taught music in all our schools.
His report to the Committee confirms their own observations--that a
regular and systematic course of' instruction in this branch of educa-
tion should not be omitted t'rom the course of studie% especially in
the lower grades.
As time progresses we hope to attain nearly ~o that degree el' excel-
lence that we find in those schools where music has been taught for
many years. The ~/Iason 'National Music Readers and charts have
been introduced.
The charts are used in the primar5~ and intermediate grades.
The Second 5~fusic Reader is also used in the intermediate grades,
and the Intermediate Reader in the Grammar Schools.
In the ungraded schools, at first, considerable di~culty was experi-
enced in getting the scholars interested in the new work. Now the
singing exercise seems to be a pleasure~ and remarkable progress has
bees made in some of the schools. We add a short extract from the
Report of the Music Committee of Boston:
"Few studies, indeed, can claim to do as much towards advancing children in the
paths of peace, obedience and order, giving them preseut happiness, future occupa-
tion, and an always elevated enjoyment."
High School.
We believe that the IIigh School will compare favorably with any
in the State of the same grade.
At the beginning of the school year eleven scholars were admitted
to the school, eight coming from the 5~errimac, two from the Kimball
and one from the Pond schools.
Of these a few were well prepared; but we must say that the ma-
jority could have spent another year in the grammar school to good
advantage. The Committe~ i~l.t compsllgd to make the standard for
admission lower than they otherwise would have done, on account of
the small number ~pplying for admission.
The course of study as now followed is, in a school of this grade,
not the best than can be desired.
If childre~ ~re to be admitted to the school from lg to 14 years of
age, 3here should certainly be ~ four year~' course, and we would ad-
vise those who gee to have charge
change. Since the las~ report 8273.85 have been expended for ap-
paratus which has been needed for ~ long time.
This amount wa~ expended in accordance with the vote of the ~own
concerning the dog tax.
At tho close of ~he Spring term the following young ladies ~nd gen
tlern*n graduated with ~onor to themselves and to the school:
L~NN~ GatE,rEAr, O~VE k. R~A,
CHARLES E,
Merrlmac Schools.
At the close of the Winter term, ~liss Geergianna Bassett, who had
successfully managed the first primary division, Room :No. 8~ for more
than a year, resigned her position, owing to ill-health.
This division has since been under the care of ~iss Lizzie A,
kKelley~ who, although not having had previous experience in teach-
ing, has succeeded admirably in her work.
AUDITORS~ REPORT.
~VIiss A. lice ~;I. Pollard~ who had previously taught at the Kimball
school~ was transferred to the second division, at the beginning of the
Fall term; Miss Green assuming the position of principal at the
Union school.
The remaining divisions of this school have been under the care
of the same ei~icient teachers as during the previous year.
At the request of your Committee~ the ~eaehcrs of the ]fferrimac
School have reported to them ~ list of the subjects taught in their re-
spective divisions, adding such remarks and suggestions as seemed to
them appropriate.
Mr. Smith rema~ks~ that it has often seemed indispensable that
scholars should be promoted frem one division to another before they
had completed the work reqnlred where they were. This necessity
has arisen solely on account of numbers, pupils passing out of the
higher classes to work, }md swarms of little ones entering the prim-
ary grades, making ~he dispari[y of numbers, in the several rooms so
great as to work hardship to some teachers, if the numbers ~vere not
in some way and in some meaanre, equalized.
The following was tke course of study in the several divisions for
the year ending Juue~ 1883.
The same course is being pursued ~t thc present time with tlm ex-
ception of a change of two text books.

Union Schools,
The large and increasing number of pupils attending this school
required the completion of another room for those of the middle
grade. This division is under .the care of Hiss Jessie F. Greene,
whose pupils are fitted for the first division of the Merrimac School.
The course of study in the primary department is similar to that of
the four primary grades of the Merrimac School.
Miss lq-eedham still manages this department to the entire satisfac-
tion of the Committee.
Centre Schools.
The past year has been a favorable one for these schools. There
have been no complaints on the part of' parents, teachers or scholars.
So far as thc Committee can judge, the teachers are efficient and
earnest, and good progress has been made.
Farnham School,
This school, although not holding its own in point of numbers, still
maintains its reputation as a very orderly and industrious school.
The pupils have a wide-awake manner of reciting; every word
being uttered distinctly.
The admirable manner in which the operations upon the blackboard
are explained, shows that thorough work is done in arithmetic.
Kimball School.
The first term of this school, was taught by Miss Alice Pollard,
now of the Merrimac School.
The closing examination was highly commended by the visitors
attending.
Miss Helen C. Sargent was appointed teacher for the Autumn
term. The fact that she had had but little experience in teaching,
and was unused to a school of this kind, was a disadvantage at the
start, but an amoun$ of impro¥~aent ia the school h~s b~ea show.q
~i~o~s~
which has satisfied tke Committee. The teacher has exerted a
good influence over the school, and we are pleased to notice a
growing interest in study on the part of the pupils.
Pond School.
Miss Hannah F. Carlctou, who had been teaching here f~r nearly
four years, was obliged to resign an accmmt of sickness near the
close of the first term. Miss Lizzie F. Ingalls has since filled the
position of teacher ia this school in a very acceptable manner. To
?;ake charge of the school so near the close of the term and prepare it
for the annual examination was no easy task, and great credit is due
t~ teacher and scholars for the good appearance of the sehoo[ on
examination day.
River School.
This school has been closed since the beginning of the Spring
term, the one remaining pupil attending the Pond schoeL

The condition of the apparatus belonging to the Fire Department
we would report very good; it has taken the Town quite a number of
years to buikl up this necessary adjunct to its own growth, and we
trust that in the matter of eqnipraents, which are, in our judgment,
of vital importance to render quick and efficient service in times of
need, will be granted. While it is not our wish to anticipate any
calamity, still we ~hink it wise to Prepare for such contingencies~, and
as it wili not require a very great outlay to place this department
among the best, we trust the subject will be given a careful consider-
ation. We would recommend that the Fire Department ma-¢ be
allowed an appropriation to meet its present needs, which are for
REPORT.
District No. 1, a p~ir of horses, to be stabled in the Steamer house,
to be worked by the Stxeet Department within a radius of ! mile from
said house.
We also recommend the building of another reservoir at the june-
tion of Main and Railroad streets.
We also recommend the purchase of 600 feet of hose, for the use of
Hand Engine, in District No. 2.

~ ROBERT ELLIOT,
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of 3]brth Andover :
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town, I have (he honor to
submit my report for thc year, ending December 31, 1883:
Under the By-Laws, a~ adopt:ed by t~e Town, the police force has
been increased and became a department by itself, which consists of
a Chief of Police and a force of 12 men, consisting of six appointed
men and six elected constables. The management of ~he entire force
has been nnder the direct supervision of the Chief of Police, and by
this means better discipline can be maintained, and the work and
care of the force can~ consequently, be more easily and better done.
This is, however, the first year of the present mode of management,
and from the results so far, it is evident ~hat it is a decided improve-
ment over the old order of things, as it existed previous to the year
1888; there was no organization and no management, each officer
acting independently, and often to a disadvantage, while now there
is a ~omplete organization working harmoniously together, and it is
safe to say by continuing the present me;hod of organization and
management, the force will become more efficient each year. Early
in June the Selectmen voted to pay the officers at the rate of 25 cents
per hour while, o~t duty, and in July voted to pay theal monthly. Thio
A~I)ITORS~ REPORT.
is a wise provision, as there is no re'ason why the men should be ob-
liged to wait until the end of the year for wages fairly earned.
The tables below will show the names of the force and the amount
of wages drawn by them:

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the .Boa~'d of Audftors of the Town of Azorth Andover :
The Board of Health herewith present their Annual Report:
There being no regular Board of Health elected by the town at its
last annum meeting, the Board of Selectmen became the Board of
Health under the laws of the Commonwealth, and have acted as such
during the year. Early in May, 1883, complaints were made to the
Board concerning the foul condition of a certain open drain running
from Water street across the land of Eben Sutton, near land of
Hannah 5IcCarty, to Hodge's B/fill Pond. The Board took the mat-
~er under advisement~ examined the premises, and found that it was
an open sewer, taking the drainage of tl~e Steamer Engine House, and
from the dwelling houses belonging to IIenry Keniston, John G.
Brown, Catharine Rcgan and Hannah l~fcCarty; that from the nature
of the drainage, and its exposure, noxious vapors were constantly'
rising, deleterious to the health of ~e community, and that it had
been so for several years, and consequently the Board adjudged the
same to be a nuisance. In order ~;o abate the nuisance it was found
necessary to cover the drain for some one hundred feet or more, as it
c~uld not be diverted, and this would involve an outlay of some sixty
or seventy dollars; and this must be done either by agreement by the
users of the drain, or abated by legal proceedings instituted by the
Board. It was also found ghat this was a private drain, put in by
most of the present users, with the consent of Mr. Sutton, some years
since, and that the town was a party to its use, from the fact that it
drained the Steamer House, and that being the case the town ought
to bear part of the expense, a~d finally arrangements were made
whereby tho Board were to proeeecl to cover the drain in a proper way
and one thirtl of eke expense ;o be borne- by ~he town and the balance
to be paid by the other users. 3gr. Sutton's consent was obtained, as
the following correspomienee will show, and the work was done by
the Board at an expens~ of
~'o~x~r AxvOV~R, l~[xss., JuLY 20th, 1888.
Gg.~'. E~a S~*~ox: Dear Sgr,--There is an open drain be-
tween your land and land of Hannah MeOarty, about opposite the
Eben Sutton S. P. Engine House, running quite near, if not on the
boumlary line between your land and that of Mrs. McCarty, running
into the Pond and draining the Engine House and also the property
of Mrs. McCarty, Henry Ifcniston, Michael Regan and J. G. Brown.
The Board df Health have made arrangements with the parties using
this drain to cover it, and ia this way to abate a nuisance, by laying
a twelve-inch drain pipe therein; the proposition being to lay the pipe,
where the drain now runs. IN'ow, as owner of thd land, would yon
have any objection to this being done ? I am told that you consented
to the drain being opened, but I deemed it best to consult you in the
matter.
I am very truly yours,
~N. P. FRYE~
&nd the £ollowirg reply was sent by ]%Ir. Sutton:
NOr~TU .A~owg, July 21, '83.
Dear Sir,--ln reply to your favor of the 20th, I would say I am
willing that the "Board of Healfl~" should cover the drain referred
k), provided it is willing to remove it~ should I ever desire. Such is
the arrangement I now have. Yours truly,
EnE~ SuPron.
BOARD OF HEALTH MATTER.

For 33oard of. HealtA.
The total expense to tho Town being the sum of $19.56, or one-
third of the total amount.
The Board also report that it is absolutely necessary that some
better system of sewerage be adopted to drain Main street from the
Methodist church to Sutton street, as now the way is constantly
washing out, and the abutters have no proper way for house drainage.
The attention of the Board has been called to several of these house
drains on Main street, between the points indicated, and in one
instance it caused an improvement to be made, but it is difficult for
any of the abutters living in that vicinity to- properly drain their
houses, unless a better syste~n of sewerage be adopted.
All of which is respectfully submitte~l,

AUDITOR$~ REPORT.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The committee appointed at the last annual Town Meeting to re-
port at the next annual meeting upon the expediency of procuring ~
suitable building for a Town Library, respectfully submit the follow-
ing as their report:
Your committee regret that Gen. Sutton resigned his position as
manager of the Library, having learned of the action of the town in
relation to the ownership thereof, thus placing its care in the hands of
the Selectmen, and settling the vexed question of its ownership.
3Ir. Sutton has worked earnestly for the success of the library in
the past, and great praise is due him for his untiring efforts in its
behalf.
In considering the future care of the Library, your committee would
suggest that a board of Six Trustees be chosen, by ballot,--two of
whom shall serve for one, two and three years respectively from
the time of the annual Town Meetings and that annually, hereafter,
there be chosen two, to serve for three years,--to whom all matters in
relation to .the management of the Library shall be referred in the
future; and that any vacancy occurring on said board may be filled
by the remaining members, the person so chosen to serve until the
next annual meeting tbr the choice of town officers.
THE B UILDI*N~,
now in use for the Library was built for an engine house, and, although
the property of the town, is placed on land belonging to Mr. Sutton;
and considering its condition, construction and location, is, in' the
opinion of your committee, entirely unsuited for the purposes of a
library.
The town has expended the sum of $6,808.09 for the purchase of
books and for the maintenance of the libr~y during the past seven
years,
The number of volumes now in the Library' is something over 6000,
which are valued by the Auditors at $4,,500.00. To supply its dq-
rounds in this respect would require au annual appropriation of 2.500.
Your committee would also submit as their opinion, that the pres-
ent needs and fl]ture requirements of thc Library demand the erection
of a substantial fire-proof building.
There are ~everal desirable locations for such a building and the
cost of land, building, grading, etc., would probably be from $10,000
to $15~000.
E. W'. GREENE,
For the Committee.
TUCKER CASE.
To the inhabitants of the Town of ~orth Andover :
The committee to whom was referred at the last annual meeting, the
matter of reimbursement to Geo. W. Tucker, of the costs and ex-
penses in his suit with J. $. Downing, with instructions to "adjust the
matter legally and justly." Report:
That they find it is very doubtful if any money can be legally ap-
propriated by the town to reimburse 31'r. Tucker, therefore no action
has been taken.

AUDITOI~S~ ]~EPORTo 79
To the ;[nhabltants of the Town of 27orth Andover :
In accordance with lhe by-laws of the town, which went into .effect
last spring, the t~oard of Auditors preseut to you for acceptance the
foregoing, as a detailed report of their findings~ for the financial year
ending Jan. 2nd~ 1884:
We have examined, with care, the various accom~ts of the several
town officers, and/1nd them to have been correctly kel~, with proper
and satisfactory vouchers on file, £or all pa~'ments made~ and have
verified the amount of cash in the Treasurer's hands. Owing to a
misunderstanding, one item of $15.00 for labor, and an item
for freight, which appear as parts of two items in the sdhoo] depart-
ment, wars paid throngh mistake, but the money has been refunded
to the Treasury, end will appear to the credit of the town in the next
report. Ahhough not expressly required by the by. laws, yet the
Auditors thought it proper to make a detailed appraisal of the town
property~ believing (hat the town would justify them in so doing~ and
they would recommend lhat such an amendment be made to the by-
laws as shall require a detailed appraisal by the Auditors, every year,
so that the town may be furnished with a complete schedule of both
real and personal proper~y, and its annual valuation, which might
serve as a reasonable safeguard to the town, and of sufficient im-
portance to warrant the expense incurred. The Auditors have intend-
ed to appraise all the available assets of the town at a fair valuation,
and they trust their efforts may be acceptable to the town.
The Auditors unani~nously ard urgently recommend the approp~qa.
tion of a sufl]cient sum et' money to build an addition to the alms-
house, which is greatly needed tbr the reasonable comfort and safety
et' the inmates; also an appropriation to ihrnish the rooms in the
main house in a suitable manner.
We commend the Board of Selectmen for many valuable improve-
ments made during the year.
80 AuI)rToR$~ REPORT.
Mr. Jacob Farnham and wife, in their duties at the Farm, have
given great satisfaction to those under their chxrge, and the interests
of the town have been carefully and faithfully attended to.
The Board unanimously recommend the retention of l~Ir. Farnham
upon the farm another year if possible.
The foregoing report with these appended suggestions we present
to the town as the Auditors' Report, and ask for its acceptance.
Respectfully submitted,
