Newington was burned Monday morning. The
family were preparing breakfast, and taking
things comfortably, when the neighbors came
in, and after apologizing for meddling with
what was none of their business, informed
them that the house was on fire, and that the
roof had already fallen in. Nothing, not even
a change of clothing, was saved. The loss is
S2000-insured for $1,000.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Louisville papers are quarreing about
Gazzaniga. The Democrat says she is fat,
chubby, older than forty, and has disagreed
Bile waddle. The Journal, on the contrary,
considers her perfect laly, great singer, not
fat, and under thirty.
There is more mining done in the town of
Plattevile, Wis, at this time, than there has
been known on any occasion for years. The
hardness of the times has made men seek for
work, and finding no opportunity to hire, they
have gone to prospecting, and are raising here
and there considerable amounts of mineral.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN WORCESTER.

One of the first thoughts which the first
planters of Worcester entel tanned, was to set
apart lot of land to be devoted to the main
tenance of a school and schoolmaster forever.
Since that troublesome and unsettled time
their system of public instruction and ours
though not always uniform nor without many
seasons of Encouragement and fears of disas.
ter has abundantly rewarded their thoughtful
and religious regard for the future. And no
citizen can regard its history for moment,
without sense of honest pride in the present
maturity of its usefulness, or of devout graft
tude to the good providence which has watch
ed over it,
There were, at the beginning of the year
1859, fifty permanent schools in the city, which
were subsequently increased by the establish
meut of new grammar school on Pleasant
street, a new secondary school on Ash street,
afterwards removed to Main, new primary
school on Front street, and the enlargement of
three or four from single to double schools.
These, with the transient schools for adult and
evening scholars, give employment to six male
and sixty-fye female teachers. Much the
larger number are daughters of our own citi-
gems, and were educated for the most part in
our own schools. The number of children in
the city, May, 1859, between the ages of FIVE
and fifteen years, was four thousand one hum
dred and sixtythree, an increase af eighty
seven over the corresponding number in 1853
The whole number of scholars registered be-
tween the same ages was four thousand five
hundred and nineteen. In addition to these,
there were five hundred and twenty-seven pu-
pills over fifteen, and three hundred and seven
ty-five under five years of age. Only about
three thousand eight hundred and twenty-fou
belonged to the schools during the whole year,
with a slightly reduced average attendance
Compared with the previous year, the result is
F,l
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1860-03-22

in all the departments with competent, earnest,
and enthusiastic teachers.
Whatever credit is due for the generally ex-
cellent and gratifying condition of the public
schools Of the city, it belongs in no slight
measure to the experience and judicious coun-
sells of the superintendent. Since the election
of Rev. Mr.. Jones, in May, 1859, he has given
himself to their welfare with the fidelity of a
conscientious officer, and the enthusiasm of
devoted friend. 1t detracts nothing from the
merit which attaches to his Office, that many
of its duties are such as never come into pub
lie notice, and that all of them have been tui-
filed without public display. We express no
more than the common consent of the commu-
nifty will approve, in the hope that the city may
long have the benefit of his efficient and vaiua-
BILE services.

ms statement includes bills incurred in
1908 to the amount of s788 6S, for fuel and
Tor visiting schools. The total expenditures
OF the department for 1858 including this
amount were S3l 1892 II. The excess of the
expenditures Of 1859 are more than accounted
Ior ny various items of extraordinary charac.
Ter demanded by the increase in the number
OF schools and pupils, by the explosion on
Pleasant street, and by many necessary and
permanent repairs. The repeal by the school
board OF the rule by which new teachers were
employed at ten per cent less than the former
salaries OF the places to which they were called
made at once difference of nearly $1,000.
The alteration in the school year, so as to
make the regular annual promotions in May
instead of January, promises to be a very use
full and sautary change. The schools of the
higher grades will be filled at time when the
maturer pupils are generally disposed 10 leave
and when the May sun is calling the new
ffocks of little ones from their homes, the pre-.
paratory schools are in condition to receive
them. For the sake of enlarging the useful

Of the whole number, forty per cent. be
long to the primary schools only four and one
half per cent. belong to the high school, Great
improvement has been noticed in the matter Of
regularity and punctualty OF attendance, and
the system of accurately registering delin-
quencies has had very salutary effect
The number of school houses in the city is
twenty-three, of which ten are in the center
district, and thirteen in the suburbs. Every
room in them is occupied, except one or two
at New Worcester, which we trust will be
speedily filled by the attraction of increased
prosperity in that section of the city. Two
new and commodious school houses were ded-
icated during the year, one at Tatnuck, the
other at Worthwhile. If the ratio of increase
in population is constant, it will soon be neces-
sary to provide school room for the people
in the west part of the center district, one to
relieve the schools in the vicinity of the old
common, and perhaps another on Laurel hill
When the time to build comes, it is suggested
if it would not be expedient to appropriate the
Walnut street school house to grammar school
purposes, and build a new house for the high
school. Certain it is, that in its present con-
dition the high school building is hardly suit
able for the uses for which it is required.
The school property of the city is estimated
at not far from S14S000. The cost of keep
ing it in good condition and and repair cannot
be less than two per cent of the whole The
resources of the department for the year were
as follows -
Appropriation by the City Council, $4,000 90
Received from the State, S56 IS
Taxes for books, 23S4
