| While the Primary schools arc overrun will
applicants for admission, the Grammar school
remain but partially filled, and II 10 a source 0
concern and no little surprise to the Board o
Guardians why II Is that parents permit such
state Of things to exist. These schools are undo
the very efficient control Of the Misses Reed
two Of our best teachers, and offer advantage
for as thorough an eduoation, In the branohe
taught, as arc found in most private schools.
The female Grammar did reach, In the earl
part Of the session, the maximum number Q
sixty scholars for q short time ian event neye
before known In tho Grammar schools as q
present organized,) but from the strange ackls
ness of parents, this was not long permitted, an
the school closed with little over half the max
mum number Just stated.
Through the earnest devotion Of Mr.. VIM. G
Magee, (one Of the oldest and most fAithfr
members Of the Board Of Guardians,) assiste
, by tho kind Offices Of Mr.. A. Hyde, (Presidor
Of the Board,) tho female grammar school hs
been presented with an extremely neat and sol
yiceable piano, costing about $4S5, whic
} amount Mr. Magee, (sided by some Of the ladi,
Of the town. had obtained for the purpose
purchasing circulating library for the grammu
schools, but as that object, II was found, woul
be reached with more satisfaction through th
peabody donation" II was determined TO appl
the money as above stated The instrument
quite an acquisition TO the practice aud develop
ment Of vocal mHsie 10 the schools which hi
become, under the direction Of Prof Joseph
Daniel, (who has been by regular appointmen
Of the Board Of Guardians retained for that pui

Of the Board Of Guardians by one Of the qua
dians specially assigned to the duty In oaC

(among them his Honor Mayor Welch,) who wei
