NO~TU Axr)ovrn/, M_ass., Jx~. 16, 1906. The following report of the condition of the public schools of this town is respectfully submitted~ together with such recom~nenda- *ions as the experience gained during the past prompts me to suggest. The past year has witnessed considerahle growth in t, he school population. The number of residential buildings erected haslargely exceeded tha; of former years, and the outlook warrants us in lieving that there will be a sti~l greater growth ~he coming year, and that the ratio will he greater each year for several successive years mfiess some urseen obstacle should intervene to prevent. This growth i~ not fairly shown in the statistics which follow, ~s they cover thc period of time only between June 1904 and June 1905. The many new buildings now in precess of erection, to- gether with the rapid increase in manufacturing lines in town and in the immediate neighborhood~ point to the need of prompt action on your part to provide extra accommodations for more scholars. The following are the statistics usually given in school reports: STATISTIG5. Poi)ulation about 4500 No. of persons between 5 and 15 years of age~ Sept` 1905 884 No. of boys between 5 and 15 years of age, Sept. 1905 404 No. of girls between 5 and 15 years of age, Sept. 1905 430 No. of persons between 7 and 14 years of age, Sept. 1905 584 No. of boys between 7 and 14 years of age~ Sept. 1905 '281 NO. of girls bet~een 7 and ] 4 years of age, Sept. 1905 293 No. of pupils enrolled in public schools, 1904-5 888 No. of boys enrolled in public schools, 1904-5 424 No. of gMs enrolled in public schools, 1004-5 464 Total mempership registered, 1904-5 939 Average number belonging in public schools, 1904-;') 80S.Sl Average daily attendance in public schools, 1904-5 No. of pupils attending school between 7 and 14 years of age, per enrolhnent 1904-5 598 No. of pupils attending sohool over 15 years of age, 1904-5 74 No. of boys attending school over 15 years of age, i904-:' 32 .No. of gMs attending school over 15 years of age, 1904-5 42 Per cent of attendance for school year, 1904-5 94.5 Number of schools at present time, Jan. 1, 1905, 25 Number of school buildings at present tbne, Jan. 1, 190;5, 10 SGHOOL AGGOMMODATION$. Thc accommodations for educating the children of this town have usually been in advance of the growd~ of the school popula- tion. They are to day~ when thc whole town is considered. When, however, we consider that part of the town known as the Parish, we can not help wishing, on the score of economy, that the ex'ora space in onr district schools and at the Centre, could be transported ~o the partsh; for it is the Parish fl~at is growing and is going to The only vacant room in the Union Iteights building was oc- cupied last Spring. Any increase of pupils here can be provided for only by sending the upper grades to the Merrimack, unless it should be thought best to enlarge the former buiMing. Snch an arrangement would soon cmnpel an enlarge~nent of the Merrimack building. Tke Bradstreet building might be enlarged, but its prox- infity to the Merrinmck building is an objection. The Union Heights school was enlarged about two years ago, mainly to provide accommodations for that neighborhood and inci- dentally to relieve the Merrimack school, q'he Franklin school was built to accommodate a locality and not on account of any increase in number of pupils or lack of room elsewhere; for there is plenty of room at the Centre building. }'or these reasons a close observer '23 of the statistics will note a dispro]mr;lonai increase of the number of lhe school rooms as cmnpared with the nuinber of pupils. If ~he statistics cool4 be brough~ up *o date the difference would no~ 'pear as great. The increased average a~tendane~ in all ~he schools lausg also be taken leto consideration. This is a very encourag~g thing in the way of educational efilcieney. Tha~ ~he school population ks liable to increase very rapidly in the nex~ few yea~ must be appareut to everybody. The new Wood 51511 next. ~t process o~ erection just across the Lawrence line, gether wich ;he enlat'gemenC of the BrigbCwood Company's M~I. can nut help causing, a very rapid growth of ;he school population in ~he viciuity of ~he Union Heights' School. Unless all signs ~ail, the town will soon he obliged to face a ccm~iderable expenditure for new school buildings or additions ohl ones. The probable necessity appears so urgen~ ~ha* presem eoaditioas, it appears.~o me, demand your immediate attention. might be wise to look ahead flu' enough to suggest to the to~n the propriety of reserving the land now used as a sand hank for a large grammar school at some future day. GRADES. We have often heard the ~ernark made that a large per cent. of scholars drop out of school before the completion of the grammar grades. This may possibly have beeu the case before the enae~;ment of the law limiting the age of emnpalsory education to fora'teen years. I bare often wondered how such a statement could be true of any city or town in Massaehuse';ts at the present time, ami an in- ve. stigation o4~ the numbers in the different grades of our own schools, shows that it is :lot nme with tls and probably is not true with others. Hence, such a statement made in the iuterest of the completion of certain studies or the introduction of new ones, shotfld not be considered. The simple truth is every child is compelled by law to attend school until he is fourteen years of age, and the only tMng that c~n prevent him from being enrolled in some school is death, home instruction or incompetency. The two latter constitute a factor so s~nall that it, can be ignored. Bearing in ~nind that in most primary schools tbe m~mber of proTnotim~s from the first to the second ga'adc seldom exceed fifty per cent, due mainly to irregnlar- ity of attendance, it will be fotml that where conditions are normal there can be no falling off in the nnmbers of the successive grades, except ~or the reas:,n f;rst ~4ven. or remo~al from town. The num- ber of pupils in the different grades of: ot~r own schools can he proximately stated to be as follows: First, 120; second, 96; thh'd, 8~; fourth, S0; fifth; 90; sixth, 80; seventh, 75; eighth, 48; ninth, The 3ecrease in the eighth ann ninth is doubtless due to the fact that a large nulnher of pupils reach the age of fourteen years at this time and leave school to go to work. LABOR C~ElkcFIFI~ATES. The nunfl~er of labor certificates issued this year is greatly in excess of last year. The nmnber is si×ty-five. Ifad these ehihlre~ remained in school it is prohahle that we should have experienced considerable difficulty in finding seats for them. In this coonection it may be well to consider the fact that after Jan. I of flfisyear all illiterates will be obliged to attend a day school until they are sixteen years old, and aixott~er probable fact that quite a la~e pe~ cent. of the population we are looking forward to is liable to be of this class. There is ~lso auother *hing to bear in mind and that is the possibility of the Legislature raising the age oi compulsory attendance at school to fifteen years. As the law now allows the mother to certify to the age of a child who desires a labor certificate, there is no reason why those seeking certificates should not apply for them at the Snpennten- nent's office at the regular office hours, These hours are, on school days~ from 8.30 to 9 a. m., and 3.30 to 4.15 p. in. on Tuesdays, and 3.30 to 4.15 p. m. on Thursdays. If mnployers will bear ~;his .in mini, ant so inform th~se ~no apply to ~hem for employ~nent, they will confer a favor on all concerned. The present office quarters oi the Superintendeut are rather difficult of access for the public, but very agreeahle to himself in many ways. The time is not far off, however~ when the public will demaud a location more easily ac- cessible. I/'iPI~OV£Mi~NTS AND I~HPAli~$. In the ]Mma'imack building we have provided new furnitnre for SUP IgRIN TEN IDgNq'~s REPOrT--SChOOLS. '25 Miss Sanborn's room, additional seats and desks in Mr. Boweu's room dud a new desk in Miss Keating's room. The damage occa- sioned hy thc striking of the bnihting by lightning last stun,ncr has been made good t,y the Insuram'e Company. In thc Union school we have furnished new slate blackboards for Mr. Htirtley's room and Miss Roache's rotan. At the Bradstreet school we have replaced severaI of the broken glass boards with slat~ ones, and provided *he principal with a new desk. The new Franklin school is just completed and opened, on ~he first day of the present month. The grading of the grounds at the Union sclnool has been com- pleted, and a new fm'nace has been placed in the Centre school to take the place of one worn our. At the Pond school the trustee the Foster Fund has presented the school with a fine set o~ maps n hich, with the large globe and reference books previously given by the same donor, make the school the hest equipped with working material of any distric~ school in town. This s~.'hool has jnst been connected with the ~own water system. A~ the River school necessa~T repairs have been made on the outbuildings, and repairs have aisc been made at the Kimball school. GHAN(iE$ 1N TEAGHHI~S. Miss Edna O. ,bpinney, assistant teacher in the High school, signed in Jnnc and Miss Annie L. Stevens was elected to fill her place. Miss (:ora R. Parsons of ;~he Mer~%mck school also resigned shortly after the ope~fing of the Spriug term, and Miss Bertha E. Holtham substituted until the Close of the school year, when Miss Gertrude A. Ilamlin was transfdrred from the Cch*re schooI to fill the vacancy. Her place at the Centt'e ~as filled by transferring Miss Nellie G. Meser;e from the Farnha~n school, and the Farnham school was supplied with a teacher by the election of Margaret A. Riding. Mr. Louis D. Cook~ principal of the Bradsta-eet school, re- signed during the summer vacation, and Miss Hannah C. Carleton, formerly of the Merrimack school was elected to fill his position. Her position at the Merrimack was filled by the election of Miss. Ruth B. Elliott. Miss Fannie I. Goodhue was transferred from the River school to the Franklin, and Miss Theresa E. Connelly elected teacher of the River school. THE JOHNSON HI(iH 5(~HOOL. Appearances indicate a good condition of things in this school both as regards ]nstrnction and discipline. I)uring the absence of Miss Sargent, the assistant prinoipal~ at the opening of the Fall term by reason of her trip abroad, it was thought best to employ a sub- stitute teacher that there might be ne break in tlxe work of the school. Miss Mabel L. Vinton was engaged and remained with us about a month, givi~g goo4 s~tisfactSon. Thc remarks made in ]as~; :,ears' report in relation to increased aceommod;~fions at this school will apply even wNh greater fo~:ee this year.

The work of the Grammar schools has co~lfinued on al)out the same lines as last year with the exception of the departmental work in the Merrimack school, which has been practically done away with. The singing in these schools is a noticeable feature, as is also the drawing. The latter branch, however, needs more time than is now given it by the drawing teacher.

While our district schools are growing s[naller every year the}~ have never been in a more sa6s£a.c;ory condition than now. We have never had more efficient teachers and less friction in the man- agement of these schools than during the last term. IN GENERAL. To sum up we can honestly claim that ail our schools are in a flourishing and satisfactory condition in spite of some weak spots that we are n~able to eradicate. This latter condition, however, is no different than is found dsewhere and must of necessity always e-~ist as long as human nature is fallible. We can strive for perfec- tion in public school work, but will never quite reach it until condi- tions are changed. We have paid especial &tten. tion to the essentials. We have not done some things that might be done to advantage,--things that are generally recognized elsewhere as. important bt'anches in the curriculum, but which do not seem to meet with favorable recogni- tion here. The propriety, not to say the necessity- of at least one of these grows more appat'en; each year. The steady change going on in the character of our school polculation poin;s to the propriety of accentuating certain lines of instruction in order to develop minds that are still in the dark in relation to American ideals---one of the most important feat~tres of public school work at the present ti~ne. The foundation o~ good citizenship rests in the home. The churches cannot attend to this matter except in a limited way. They have not the opportunity that we have. Some good work is being done in our town for the boys by the Boys club and the tablishment of a sewing class at ?he Centre. This latter organiza- tion, I am told, numbers over forty pupils who attend voluntarily and contribute each something for its support. This school is the result of the philanthropic efforts of certain ladles to do something for the girls. Such a school at this end of the town would be ap- preciated. [ a~n told that ()ne has been formed here at one of tbe churches at the Parish. I have appended the outlines of the course of study as now carried out. Of course this is nothing tnore than bare outline, but will serve to keep the schools in line and will ,neet the wants of the public. A more de;ailed course for the teachers' exclusive use is nearly completed. Assuring you of my apprecia- tion of the courteous trea.tment accorded me in my work, and thanking you for your hearty co-operation, I respectfully sub,nit this report. G~;o. E.

TI~EE ~ArARD EN'S 101 TREE WARDEN'S REPORT. 7'o t~,e Auditor of tim Town q! ~'orth Andovev: I herewith submit my sixth annual repm~ as Tree ~Varde% for the year ending Jan. 1, 1906. The yearly expense of protectiug our shade trees from the va- rious insect pests, has increased so much that it was thought advisa- ble to plaut less "trees than formerly, therefore only twenty-five trees have been planted the past seasou. The shade trees on our streets and public grounds have been l)rotected from insects. Bushes have been cut by ~he road sides, trees pruned and sprayed. A very small number of the Gypsy moth was found in the G. L. Davis and J. A. Wiley estates, but it is hoped that they were entirely destroyed. The work against the Browt~ tail moth is,'progressing, but is necessarily attended with considerable expense, as the whole town is thoroughly infested, and when we consider tbat there is almost one hundred miles of streets~ and shade trees on hoth sides throughout the whole town, it means a large amount of work.

Streets In (Jeneral. The general appropriation for the street depal'nnent has been devoted principally to general repairs in the outlying districts and to repairs iu the vicinity of Ge village, where it has seemed most nec- essary to make them. Macadamizing. As early in the season as it was mest economical and practica' ble to attend to this line of work, Marblehead street was macadam' izod frown Boston & Maine railroad to Middlesex street; the cost of this work amounting to $1,~81.fl~. Later, Pond street was macadamized fi'om a point east of Brad- ford street to a point 5200 feet west of ~hat street. Mr. George E. Kunhard~ and Mr. Richard Russell, as was announced at ~he annual meeting~ contributed a sum equal to about 30 per cent. of the out- lay made for macadamizing, the amount paid by them being $1,015.37. Pond Street Improvement. Pond street~ as most of our citizens know who havehad occasion to travel said stmeh w~ s.in bad condition. In order to obtain the best results in a proposed line of improventdnt, the engineer found that considerable grading would be necessary, and this feature of con- struction, when carried into effect~ added materially to the cost. Miss Freueh generously ftu'nished nmch material for filling, which 108 NORTH ANDOVER. saved the town considerable expense in carrying out the work pre- liminary to macada~nizing this street. The "Plats" were widened by constructing a bank wall and extending the bridge culvert '20 feet on the northerly side, at a cost of $1,392.00. The street is now 45 feet wide at this point, where it was formerly narrow and dangerous. The remainder of the street, where the work of im- provement has been going on, varies from 40 to 45 feet in width, which is a ~naterial increase in the width of the street. At a special town meeting there was appropriated for Pond Street Improvement $2,500.00. The County Cmnmissioners award- ed $1,000.00 more. It has been necessary to use the whole of these amounts and to exercise rigid economy to bring this street into the condition in which it now exists. The reconstructed and improved condition of this street I trust will prove a credit to our Troy Street. This street was accepted at the last annual town meeting and ~150.00 was appropriated for its improvement. Thc loam was re- moved and subsequently grading was done to the extent of 8130.55 Johnson Street Culvert. For the purpose of rendering the drainage of this street more complete $500.00 was appropriated at a special town meeting. In carrying into effect the purpose of this appropriation, the old cul- vert was removed and a 24-inch iron pipe put in its place. Sidewalks. The appropriation for the above purpose enabled your Surveyor to add consk]erably to the exten~ and development of our sidewalks. In various places concrete walks were laid to the extent of 1645 square yards at a cost of 40 cents per yard. At other places they were laid to the extent of 274 square yards at a cost o~ $1.00 per yard. - Other walks were surfaced with cinders and crushed stone dust. Third, Merrimack and Cleveland streets were put in a finished con- dition by concreting, and a portion of Water street was resurfaced in the same manner. Sewers. 109 The succes~fut and prompt handling of the unusual snow fall of last winter was necessarily attended with considerable expense. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM GILE, ~NonTn A.w~)owm, Mass., Jan. 22, 1906. Hi,qA~way Sueveyor. There has been no new construction of sewers or surface drains under the supervision of your Surveyor of Highway during the past year; however, thc sewers which were previously constructed have been inspected and flushed and a few minor repairs made which have been cha,'g~l to the street department. 110 7~o Mr. A. ~B. ]~zn,son, ~[ow~ :lud;itor: D~ sr~: Herewith submitted is the repo~ of the Highway Surveyor for the finandM year ending Dee. g~, 1905.

That we have a larger balance than usu:ti is due to the fact that our autumn order of books was delayed so that fha payment did not come before January 1st. Last year we reported to you a gain in circnlation of books, and again this year we report a still better patronage than in 1904. The uumber of books issued this year is 6t;4 more than in 1904. In that year thc largest number issued in any month was 1102 and the smallest 788; this year the larges~; is 1'291 and the smallest 788. In t904 the largest number issued in one day was 145, and this year i~ is 175; the smallest nurober was 60, and this year it is 63. We are pleased to note this steady gain and we hope that yet more people will avail themselves of the opportunities offered by our library. It is the wish of the Trustees to make the library as useful as possible to the people, and if at any time books on any subject of interest are not found on our shelves, we shall be glad to have the titles of the books desired given either to the Librarian or to the Trustees. The pictures sent by the Librm'y Art Chlb have again this year been interesting and instructive. In our Reading Room are to be fonnd the above-mentioned mag~ines and papers, and we bespeak for it a yet more general patronage. This room ~ open Wednesdays and Saturdays, except legal holidays, ~rom two o'clock in the Mternoon until nine o'clock in the evening, and other evenings, except legal holidays and Sun- days, from seven o'clock unt~ nme o'clock. The library is open for tim delivet~ of books Wednesdays and Saturdays, except legM holi- days, from ~wo o'clock in the afternoon until nine o'dock in t~e eveniug. Respectfully submi;ted~ CHARLES P.
