CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT.

I herewith submit my report as Chief Engineer of the

Fire Department for the year past, giving the fires, and

condition of the apparatus under my care. There have

been only two tires, and those very slight ones : One on

Union street and one on Fayette street. There have been

purchased for the companies 3000 feet of linen hose,

which has been distributed as follows : Engine Co. No.

4, 500 feet; Engine Co. No. 1, 500 feet; Hose Co. No.

2, 1000 feet; Hose Co. No. 3, 1000 feet. There are

several hundred feet of old leather hose, which is useless

for lire purposes, and I w^oiild recommend the sale of the

same and purchase of linen hose, which is lighter and

easier to handle. We have been obliged to over-run the

appropriation on account of the increased pay to firemen,

and two large bills, Avhich should have come in last year's

account. I would advise painting Deluge No. 1 house,

Alert No. 2 house and Rescue Hook and Ladder house,

and a few other needed repairs, which we are obliged to

pass this year on account of not having sufficient money.

I would take this opportunity to thank every member of

the Fire Department for their kindness and assistance,

and the good feeling that has prevailed in the companies

during the past year.

REPORTOF THE

Superintending School Committee,

OF DISTRICT NO. 3,

of Somcrsworth, N. H.

The Superintending School Committee of District No.

3 present the following report concerning schools in said

district for the past school year

:

The number of schools remains without change and the

teachers are all of them well known in the district. The

school work has been much retarded by the absence of

pupils, caused by prevailing epidemics.

At a special school meeting, in early winter, the pru-

dential committee was instructed to finish the Orange

St. Hall into two schoolrooms, ready for use. This work

68

is now in progress. The rooms will be ready for occupancy

at the beginning of next term, when two new schools will

be opened. The temporary changes in the schools will

probably consist in moving the First Primary from the

Green Street school to the Orange Street school house,

then dividing the Fourth Primary in the Union street

school, occupy the room vacated in the Green street

building, and dividing the Fourth Primary in the Orange

street school house make two new schools. A complete

re-grading of the schools may be necessary at the begin-

ning of the autumn term. These changes, necessary for

so long a time, will greatly improve the primary schools.

In this report we wish to emphasize a few things con-

cerning the schools in the High School building. 1st.

The High School needs a second assistant all, instead of

one-half of, the time. This is not apparent at first to

those familiar only Avith English studies. Every class in

the High School needs more time for recitation. Someof them need double the time now given to them. The

classes in Latin, French, Chemistry, Physics and Algebra

all suft'er from the short seasons given to recitation.

Sereral of these classes ought to have a full hour where

they now have thirty minutes. The teachers use the

time given, and divide it as reasonably as possible.

The large classes suffer the most, and hence interest

more parents. The necessary time given for a recitation

is not determined by the number of pupils, but by the

lesson, which must be examined in all its points and put

before the scholars of the class, few or many. The sup-

erintending committee advise the employment of a per-

manent second assistant. The Grammar schools are very

m

full. The lower classes too full. So many of our pupils

close their school days at the end of the grammar years

that the prudential committee are inclined to l)roaden the

course during: the last two years of the onmimar course.

This year we have introduced a work on government,

" How we are Governed," as a supplementary reader in

the first class, and also '-Shalers First Book in Geology"

for the same purpose in tiie second class. The Fourth

Grammar class has a membership of 86. The teacher

has not yet been born who can do as good work in writ-

ten arithmetic with a class of 30 as with one of 20 schol-

ars. This last number is large enough for any class

where individual drill is expected. With the prospect of

about 60 pupils entering this school next fall from the

two first primaries, another prol^lem will be forced upon

us.

More attention has been paid to drawing and writing

this year than in the immediate past, and we think with

proportionate results. Instruction in vocal music has

been continued through the year and reading books for

that work have been introduced. School books have

been furnished to all the schools of the district. Wehear of ver\' little opposition to the district furnishing

books for all pupils except from publishers, who, of

course, prefer the larger sale.

We are attempting to restore to our smaller schools es-

pecially, a vocal-drill exercise. This seems to have

dropped out of schools luiconsciously, and we think mayagain be of service in developing clear enunciation and

full tone of voice in all public utterances, especially in

reading. With the opening of two more schools we shall

be able to accommodate more pupils, hence there will be

no excuse for any to absent themselves, and we shall

look to see all scholars of school age conform to the laws

of the State.

The necessary expenses consequent upon the equip-

ment of two new school rooms and the additional outlay

for teachers, will call for a slight increase of expenses for

the coming year.

To THE Citizens of the Town School District ofSome RSWORTH

:

Your School Bo.ird would respectfully submit their

report for year ending Miirch 1, 1S88 :

The District, at the annual meeting, voted to raise

$50.00 which, in additiou to that apportioned to us bythe town, have enabled us by reducing the salary of the

teacher to five dollars per week, to keep the school the

same number of weeks as in No. 3.

School No. 1. The first term was taught by Miss

Bertha Grovenor, with an attendance of 11 scholars.

The second term was taught by Miss Alice Merrick,

with an attendance of 10 scholars.. The third term was

taught by Miss Alice Merrick, 11 scholars.

School No. 2 has been taught by Miss Sarah O. Brownthe whole year. The first term there were 10 scholars,

the second term 13 scholars, and the third term 11

scholars.

Your board feel well pleased Avith the progress that

has been made in the past year, feeling that it is as muchas could be expected from any school in like condition.
