New floors have been laid in the Merrimack buildiug, as recommended in our last report. The expense exceeded the estimated cost, as it was found necessary to repair the hallways and also the stairs leadhrg to the upper floor. The chairs in three of the lower rooms were so worn after nearly thirty years' use, that ;ve thought best to buy new ones. We purchased new furniture for one primary room and new chairs only for two other rooms. A few new desks will be the only expense necessary in these rooms for many years. New floors should be put int~ thc upper rooms as soon as practicable, and we recommend that a few of the Chandler adjustable chairs and desks be put in at the same time. These chairs and desks meet thc requirements or' proper seat- ing, as nearly as anything we have ever seen. We asked for money to buy new heating apparatus., for the Centre hnilding; but after more careful cxamina~, and taking into accotmt also the financial stress, and the fac~that the fnr- naces had just been thoroughly repaired, we tb~,ught best to defer tine matter until such time as new heatiug a~aratus would be absolutely necessary. i REPORT, SCHOOLS. Il Repairs on CUlSola of Centre building have always been iu order nearly every year sin. ce the building was erected, and never has it been repaired so as to prevent leaking. We asked Mr. George G. Adams, architect, to examine it ca[efUlly, andhe reports as follows: "1 find the cupola built of very light frame work where it is connected With the roof, which allows it to vibrate by wind pressure, and this greatly tends to cause a leaky roof. If it shonld be removed, leaving the top deck roof exactly as it now is, finished with a balustrade of wood about three feet high, the huilding would look quite as well as it does at the present time. If the cupola is not removed, it will be necessary in a very short time to have it thoroughly repaired. The base all m-onnd below the windows should be covered with tin. The cost of removal, the balustrade and roofiug repaired, would be about $~5o. The cost of repairing cupola and roofing would be about $2oo." We recommend the removal as suggested and ask for $~5o. The Pond school-house is not a suitable building to accom- modate the present nmnber of scholars. It will have to be'" ti~oroughly repaired and enlarged, and we ask for l~6oo for the' purpose. The rest of the schooJ buildings will need very little outlay, probably one hundred dollars, will put them in good repair. The boilers in the Merrimack, Bradstreetand High School buildings were inspected during the summer vacation and found to be in rather poor condition--due to the ignorance of the' Committee and janitors, to the fact that they should have been inspected by a competent person every year. Both heads of the boiler in the Merrimack building are badly corroded and eaten near the hand holes, otherwise it is all right. The Bradstreet boiler was found ill the same condition. The tubes in the High School boiler were badly corroded and pitted. SO~e new ones were inserted. The boiler will have to be re-tubed:~uring the summer. The jani~rs have been instructed to see, that in future, the boilers are'rmspected every )'ear, and then the cost of rkpairs will be trifling. NORTH ANDOVERo SCHOOL GROUNDS. The beautifying.and improving of the school yards, as sug- gested by the ~illage Improgement Society, has been encour- aged by the Committee, and small sums for the purchase of seeds and plants have been allowed. DRAWINg. Although we have had a teacher for this branch of school work, but a short-time, yet we can see good results, and we :agree with those best qualified to judge, that it is a vital part of education, essential to manual training, natural science, lan- guage uumber and geography, and of great service to all the other school studies. We hope in the future to see more free- hand drawing in the grammar grades and in the High School. KINDERGAI~TEN. By the generosity of Mrs. M. T. Stevens, Davis & Furber Machine Co., and a few others, a school of this kind was con- ducted at the Bradstreet building for several weeks. As no returns were made to the Committee, we can give no acconnt of attendance, etc. ~USi¢. To thr Sc/too/Ebmmittee :- The National Music Course that has been in use in our public schools since mnsic was first ifltrodnced as a branch of study, has, I think, given entire satisfaction in the primary a. nd gram- mar grades. We have not seen very desirable results from the above mentioned course, in intermediate grades. In these grades we needed a book with exercises and songs, not quite so difficult as those that were in nsc in the Second Music Readers and Charts of the National Course. I recommended the first three books of the "Public School Music Cours '~ Whitino"s), tonblished by D. C. Heath & Co., and the Commi~e~ decid~ to adopt them. They were put iflto the third yeas primary, and the ilrst and second intermediate grades, re. spee~vely, of the Merrimack School. Book t, was also introduced into the ANNUAL REPORT.- SCHOOLS. I3 Bradstreet and Union Schools, together with the first series of Charts. It gives me pleasure to say, that since we began using the Whiting books, they have given entire satisfaction. The pupils already take great interest in mastering the difficulties in time and notation. In nearly all of the schools in town, we are realizing good results in music. I wish to thank the teachers for the co-operation they have given me. all of which I heartily appreciate. Respectfully submitted, ' EDWARD BUTTERWORTH. TEACHERS. The following changes iu the corps of~teachers were made during the year [893: Miss Mary A. Mahouey of the Kimball School, Miss Carrie B. Dean of the Farnham School, and Miss Jean Gillan of Mer- rimack, No. 8, resigned; and Miss B. Letitia Wilcox was ap- pointed to the Kimball, Miss Jean U. Piddington to the Farn- ham, but inter transferredto Merrimack No. 8, and Miss E. Maud Randall was appointed to the Farnham. We will state that in future, teachers intending to leave their schools for any cause, except sickness, must give two weeks notice, and the Committee will also give the same time to any teacher whose services they no longer require. All om' teachers will consider that they are under this con- tract from this date. Four of our best teachers during the year were offered better positions elsewhere. Two of them we retained at a slight increase of salary', as circumstances were in our favor, and we did not think it good economy to !~ke a change at present. We will ag~iu call the a[tention of our teachers to thc neces- sity of keepi, ng strict watch of the ventilation of the rooms. school rooms are badly ventilated, or rather not ventilated Otlr ~:lt at all, and only by extra care can the air be kept in a fairly 14 NORTH ANDOVER, decent condition. "A school room of 5° pupils wonld throw off in the form of cutaneous and pubnonary exhalations in one month, of five hours each day, 750 lbs., which contains much putrescible matter, and in rooms deficient in ventilation is pre- cipitated, and gives in i~s decay the peculiar odor of badly veutilated rooms." The air space that should be allowed for each child should be at least 6oo cubic feet, and the air should be changed several times an hour. ATTENDANCE. The average attendance in all the schools has been very satis- factor),. We think most parents and pupils realize the importance of constant attendance. Truancy and tardiness are the twin evils of most schools. There has been a marked improvement in this respect over former years. Last year 370 cases were investigated by the Truaut Officer; this )'ear, 267 cases. Last year there were 75 eases of truancy at the Merrimac and Bradstreet Schools this year, only 55 cases. Dismissious that have in the past occasioned much trouble and disturbance have been very much lessened--nearly abol- ished-by changing the school hours. The village schools begin at 8.30, and the noon intermissiou at SUPERVISION. Your Committee believe that we should have a Superintend- ent of Schools. We suggest that the School Committee be given attthority to secure a Superintendent, the expense not to exceed two hun- dred dollars more than is now paid to the Committee. The Committee would be an advisory board without pay, except the Secretary, who should be paid for her services. This can be satisfactorily done by secnring the services of t~'Superintend- ent of one of the neighboring towns, who can devote part of his time to our schools. There is a demand and great need for better methods, whicl~ can only be attained by constant snpervision. ANNUAL REPORT. SCHOOLS. I5 We have teachers who have never had the training that is now required of those who reach our best schools. A superintendent can be of great service ro such and of course a great benefit to the schools. It is true, as was stated ~n one of our daily papers a few days · since, that the goal of the vast majority of public school pupils is not college but business and practical life. The schools should be shaped to their needs, rather than to those of the few who are to go further. We do not want anyone as a supervisor who has a hobby to ride, but one who will work quietl}: and carefully. Finally, we can sa5, that the work in our schools has been done, in the main, faithfully and satisfactorily. We know that our reachers desire to do the best work possible. They need help and advice. 16 NORTH ANDOVER. ROLL OF HONOR Pupils who have not been Absent or Tardy.

Zo the School Board of North Andover: I am pleased to hand you herewith a resume of the work done in Johnson High School during the past twelve mouths. From Jannary until June, I893, we continued, as the school year had opened, with an average membership of twenty-eight 'pupils, whose attcndaucc throughout the year is to be com- mended considering the distance of the school from the homes of some and tho number o] inclemeut days in the winter and spring. On one or two of the most stormy days, Mter advice from the Board, no record of attendance was made, and those present were dismissed at an early hour. On other than such days the attendance was very good. I am sure that this matter of constant attendance and punctuality cannot be too often or' too strongly brought to thc parents' attention: An insistance upon prompt aud constant attention to school duties 'is Of prime importance, although at first thought it appears to have little influence upon the habits.of the pupil. During the first-six months the scholarship of the school ap-' poured to have a somewhat iow average, and the advance made' seemed slow and difficult. I am certain that this is in part to be accounted for by the fact that. pupils :from t~vo of the four classes were disarranged and displaced in the prescribed course of study, thereby .losing their interest in their o~vn class and consequently in their studies, and finally causing delay and dis- couragement to the others, who ..were regularly f611owing the course. The subtle influence of an unclassified pupil who leaves 24 N oR'rll ANDO ~¢ER. the course becau's'e of inability to maintain the required per cent. in certain branches is hardly perceptible when exerted for a short time, but when continued ~luring a long period becomes most pernicious. To correct and prevent this when once begun is a task that assumes proportions almost if not quite insur- mountable as the evil is allowed to continue and increase. Its prevention is to be found only in the total eradication of every chance and possibility of a departure from the specified courses of instruction. To allow a pupil to drop any study or to diverge from the courses as prescribed is a thrust at the organization of the school, for which those who pernfit the disorder are amenable. It was to anticipate this disorder as well as for other reasons that a modified and enlarged course of study was urged, and finally submitted to the Board at the dose of the spring term of r893. At the e~d of the school year in June the following five were graduated and received diplomas: Mabel F. Fuller, Mary E. Geaney, M. Alicia Keegan, Harry Lynch, Mabel S. Robinson. These had completed the regular course of four years, and had maintained a very satisfactory standard of scholarship and de- portment. The Fall term opened on the 5th day of September with twenty-eight members in the entering class, and a total school membership of forty-three. The increased number was natur- ally a cause of gratulation, and especially so since we were to enter this year upon the new courses of study as finally adopted by the Board. In addition to these pleasing advances several new text books were adopted in place of others less suited to the needs of the school. These changes have been found to be most advantag- eous. With' the. increased attendance, enlarged course of studies~ andmew text books, the indications were for a year of prosper- ity; and I may add that thus far the work has prokressed quite satisfactorily. The course of studies now pursued is given below in full. comparison of this with the previous course will at once show ANNUAL REPORT.--scno()LS. 25 a change from one course to two parallel courses, uniform dur- ing thc first year, but ar the end of that time separating into an English and a Latin course. In the former. History, Mathe- matics, and Science are substituted for the Latin of the latter. thereby supplying a good preparation for those who propose to carry their studies further in some technical rather than a clas- sical school or in college. The courses as laid out are, of course, open to criticism, and should be amended as the needs of the school require. The number of tardinesses and dismissals has been propor- tionally greate~ this fall than during the spring. In every case I have desired the pupil to bring a written excuse from home ~n order that the necess~tv of the absence might be attested. Johnson High School has always rightly enjoyed its reputa- tion as that of a wcll-ecluipped, welbsustained and organized school. Its graduates are recognized by the higher schools which they enter as well prepared, and they conduct themselves with credit to the school as well as to themselves. The distinc- tion is one to be zealously guarded by those who have the school in charge as it should be hy the entire town. It should be a common care to both teachers and townspeople The-teachers should feel that they are assured the hearty co-operation of the townspeople, and should be encouraged by personal visits paid the school by parents and friends. I would take this opportun- ity to extend a hearty invitation, and to urge that as many as find it possible should be present and listen to our recitations as often as it is in their ability to do so. This, I believe, should not be left for a convenient season or day, but I think an effort should be made in order that by this means both teachers and scholars ma)' be impressed by a general interest in their work, There are four matters which I would bring most prominently to the attention of the School Board. Thefirst is the absolute ne- cessity of denying every pupil in the school the privilege of drop- ping one or more studies orof substitutingone studyfor another. Previous to the adoption of the present two courses many pupils have desired for insufficient reasons to omit some one study, usually Latin. This, of course necessitated their taking' another NORTH AN n0VEi¢. study in its place, and then followed continued disorder not only to themselves but to the others in the class and school. This will always result in every case when ~ deviation is allowed. Heretofore, with the one course of study, this divergence could be condoned whereas now with the two courses (and the present nnmber of teachers) substitutions and omissions should not be '~olorated nor allowed since the pupil now has a choice of courses, .although that choice is confined to two. This brings me to the :second point which i desire to nrge. I strong]yrecommcnd the -ad(lit[on ora third .(Business) course to the cnrriculum. Obvi- ously this cannot be done nnless a second assistant be supplied to thc school. I canuot express in a few- words of how much ad- vantag', I am cci'lain it would be to thc school an,'t town to in- crease the teaching' force of the Hig'h School to three instead of two teachers. How much more work could then b~' accomp- lished, and how much more complete courses could then be of- fered and thus meet the needs of all our pupils! The request of the scholars to b~ allowed to omit this or that study was a blind recognition on their part of the fact that the one corn-sc did not meet all their wants. Nor will the two courses be broad enough to prepare the pupils for theh- several callings. We need a third ,course to give to many, who upon leaving the High School will .at once be engaged in their own support, a good fund of general information, business principles, and practical knowledge. As has been said, this is impossible with only two teachers in the ~chooi, and indeed if the number of pupils becomes larger than .at present, two teachers will be entirely inadequate for the two courses. As it is now the teachers feel it impossible to do the best work with the prasent large number of classes. To those who do not realize that the number of pupils adds not so much to the work as does the number of classes it seems hardly credi- ble that two teachers arc not sufficient for the work of thc High School. Such do not kuow that irt t)ur High School we are car- rying as many studies as are carried in some o1' the larger city schools where there are five or even more teachers. Our aim should be to make this school at least as efiScient as any here- abouts. If to do this it requires another assistant and a third ANNUAL REPORT.~SCHOOLS.' 27 eourse of study then let us have them. We need more time with the several classes and with the individual pupil. In the experimental studies such as Chemistry aud Physics the teacher has not half time enough under the present arrangement. Grant us another teacher and thereby allow us to do more work for the school and in a better manner.: A third matter of which I would speak is the advisability of discouraging young and immature pupils from entering the school before they are mentally and physically prepared to do so. I feel that many mistakes are made and pernmnent injuries done to a great many immature pupils by parents who are am- biti(ms for their children, and are anxious that they appear no less brilliant than their older and stronger mates. A great many are in this way urged and pushed on into the High Schools one or two years before they are strong enough bodily or mature enough mentally to enter upon a four years' course: of study so essentially different from that which they had been pursuing in the lower grades. Few children at ~3 and ahnost none at ~2 years are ready to take up a course of study which demands so much close attention and application during the school session and to which should be given at least two hours each day outside the school room. It is a task on mind and body for which many are not fully prepared although they may have completed the lower grades with credit. For such, a rest out of school of at least a year wonld be a permanent be,milt, and ought not to be a cause of discouragement. Finally, (and I have left this matter for the last that possibly thereby it might appear with some degree of prominence,) I would plead through you with the officers in charge of the Town Hall that they cause to be placed upon the building a fire es- cape. I am confident that few know of the danger which constantly ,/ threatens those who are for any length of time within the build-/ lng, and I am confident that if parents knew m what jeopardy the lives of their children are while they attend school ther, would be a popular demand that a means of escape be immec[' ately furnished. The building may never catch fire or it m* 28 NORTH AN DOVE, R. not for years, and still it is possible that it will within one or two Weeks or years; when that time comes, if ever it does, there will be a disaster unless some other egress be furnished other than the stairs which are immediately over the })oiler. The ex- pense of placing an iron fire ladder on the northern side of the building can seem nothing as compared to a loss which might .occur were it not there. Respectfully, J. C.

I~EPOi~T ON IMPI~OVE?IENT OF SUTTON ,STI~EET NEAR SUTTON'S MILL. The To~vn at its last annual meeting voted to leave this mat- ter to the Board of Road Commissioners. The Board peti- tioned the County Commissioners to relocate, widen, straighten and change the grade of the same. In accordance with the petition the County Commissioners have viewed the premises, and have notified the Board of Road Commissioners that they will relocate the wa3, as prayed for, will pay all land damages, and will allow from the County Treasury a sum not less than ANNUAL REPOHT.--/iOAD COMMISSIONERS.fi'~ one thousand five hundred ($~,5oo) dollars to help defray the expense of the necessary stone work. The proposed relocation covers that portion beginning nbarly at the corner of Main and Sutton Streets, running easterly to a rise in the road just east. of the Sutton MiI]s' office, where the road is now low, narrow and dangerous. The Board had R. A. Hale, Civil Engineer, make the necessary surveys. The road at the waste way, where the water runs under the street, is only 26 feet wide from the fence ou the north side to a very low railing on the south side. The relocation proposes to raise the grade about 4 feet and widen the street to about 60 feet. To do this properly it will be necessary to change the waste way of the pond, and to lengthenthe culvert under the street, and build a retaining wall on the north or mill side of the street. It will cost about five thousand five hundred ($5,500) dollars to com- plete the job, and the Board recommend that the sum of four thousand ($4,00o) dollars be raised and appropriated for the SalTle.

There ~have [probably been a few cases not attended by any physician that have not been reported. We would call the attentiou of citizens to thc following stat- utes relating to the reporting of contagious diseases: [PUBLIC STOa'UT<S, CIiXP. 80, S<CT, 78, ~Ca'S OF ~884, 98, AN~ ~CTS o~' ~89~, CHAP. ~88.~ (L) When a householder knows that a person within his family is sick of small-pox, diphtheria, scarl[t fever, or any other disease dangerous to the public health, he shall immedi- ately give notice thereof to the selectmen or board of health of , the town in which he dweIls, and upon the death, recovery or removal of such person, the rooms occupied and the articles used by him shall be disinfected by such householder iu manner approved by the board of health. Any person neglect- ing or refusing t'o comply with either of the above provisions shall forfeit a sum not exceeding' one hundred dollars. (2.) When a physician knows that a person whom he is called to visit is infected with small-pox, d;phtheria, scarlet fever or any other disease dangerous to the public health, he shall im- mediately gi~e notice thereof in writing over his own signature, to the selectmen or board of health of the tuwn; and if he fuses ar neglects to g'ive sneh notice hc shall forfeit for each offence not less than fifty nor more thao two hundred duIlars. (3.) The boards of health in the several cities and towns shall cause a record to be kept (~f ali reports received in pursu- ance of the preceding sections, and such record shall contain the namcs of ali persons who are sick, the Iocalitles in which they live, the diseases which they are affected, together with thc (late and names of the persons reporting' any snch cases. The boards of health shall give the school committee immedb ate information of all eases of contagious diseases reported to them according to the provisi,ms of this act. [c~v. 47, s~cu'. 9.~ The school committee shall not allow a child who has not been duly vaccinated to be admitted 1o or connected with the public schools. All written complaints received by the Board have been investigated, and all mfisanct, s ordered abated that have come to the notice of the Board. Only two houses were ordered to be fumigated. The death rate for the year has been t4-4 per thousand. As a result of the inspection of the different herds of cattle in towrf by Mr. George S. Fuller, the Board received orders from the State Board of Cattle Commissioners to destroy two animals affected w/th tuberculosis. Mr. Fuller was directed to kill the animals and to inspect the carcasses, and have them properly disposed of and the premises cleansed and disinfected. The following regulation was received from the Board o~ Cat- tle Commissioners: ANNUAL REPORT~i~BOARD OF HEALTH. 99 REOULATION, On the fifteenth day of June,/893, at a legal meeting of the State Board of Cattle Commissioners, it was voted to make and establish the following regulation: By virtue of the powers and authority in us vested to make and publish regulations concerning the extirpation, cure and treatment of animals infected with, or which have been exposed to, contagious disea.ses and by virtue of all other powers and authorities in us vested by law it is gcreby ordered that when- ever the board of health of any city or town within the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, or any inspector duly appointed by said board, finds or has knowledge of any animal within the limits of their respective city or town which is suspected of having, or which, in thc iudgment of said board of health or agent, is infected with any of the following contagious diseases: glandars, farcy, contagious pleuro-l~meumonia, tuberculosis, Texas fever, foot ancl mouth disease, rinderpest, hog cholera and rabies, such board of health or agent shall immediately cause such animal to be placed in quarantine and isolated in some proper place by him or them designated, and cause the same to so remain there as long as such animal is, in the judg- ment of said board of health cr its agent, infected with any of said contagious diseases, and shall immediately give notice of the ~act to the State Board of Cattle Commissioners. And every person is forbidden to break any quarantine so or- dered by any of said boards of health, or any agm~t thereof, or to remove said animal ~rom the place where it has been quaran- tined, or allow other animals to come in contact therewith, until said animal has been properly discharged by an order is- sued by the State Board of Cattle Commissioners, or any of its members, or by the board of health for the city or town in which said animal has been quarantined, or by an agent of such board of health duly authorized. The boards of health ft)r the several cities or towns arc here- by ordered and directed to enforce this regulation and see that thc same is strictly complied with. NORTH A~DOV'ER. It is further ordered that this regulation be spread upon the records of this commission, and that a copy of the same be sent to each city and tawn within the Commonwealth.

As a matter relating to public health, we think the attention · of the cousunaers of milk should be called to thc fact that most of the herds supplying milk in this town are not allowed any exercise at all, but are tied up by the neck from November till May, in badly ventilated barns, and never turned out of doors. This may be all right for the cows, but how about the milk ? We were authorized to purchase a wagon to be used for cleaning vaults and cesspools, but as we had no money with which to buy horses for moving it, we made arrangements with Mr. H. M. Whittier to attend to such matters whenever notified that his services were needed. Wc recommend the purchase of one of the odorless pumps, and that its use be made compulsory in the village whenever vaults or cesspools are cleaned during the day. The cost of such apparatus would be about $80o. Another horse should be purchased to mate the extra one now used by the Fire Department so the expense would not be large. The amount received for services would nearly pay the running expenses. We find occasionally a person who is to ~villing to allow his vault to overflow his neighbor's land. Such need the stimulat- ing effect of the sharp end of the law. Respectfully submitted, H. W. CLARK, )Board P. P. DAW, }- of C. P. MORRILL, ) [q~dth. ANNUAL REPOR'~.-~ASSESSORS.
