Mr. Lord reiterates some rec recommendations
of his former reports and makes Others as
follows
An additional exit should be provided for
the third floor of the Centre street school.
A second exit should be provided for the
second floor of the Monument street school.
The growing population in the vicinity of
Monument street and Smaller school houses,
together withsthe unsatisfactory condition
of the former school house, suggests that n
new school house must soon be built in the
eastern portion of the city.
The Centre, Park and Bracket street
schools should he better ventilated.
The school houses should be cleaned
thor oughly during he Christmas and May
vacations as well as ing the summer.
Mr.. lord then goes ON to say that in the
Grammar schools better work has been done
in history and geography, and then, after
repeating a recommend dalton of the year be-
fore in favor of auxiliary reading books for
students of United States history. says:
These suggestions have to certain ex-
| tent been carried into practice aad the re-
suits are indeed gratifying. ] hope this
year that the same plan may be followed
with geography. Biographical and historical
readers should supplement the work done
in these studies in tie class room. Elemen-
tary physics should be taught in the gram
mar schools. Looking toward this the
school committee at a recent meeting appro-
prIated a small sum of money to defray the
expenses of giving some instruction in this
bject to the grammar school teachers, to
the end that they may be better prepared
to instruct the pupils.
"prior TO last September United States
history was begun in the third class of the
grammar schools and continued through
the second class. When this course of study
was laid out it required ten years in the
primary and grammar schools to prepare
Tor the high school. Now it requires but
nine years, one year having been taken
from the primary school. The children
consequently como to the grammar school
year younger.
'tThere has been added manual training
for the boys and sewing for the girls, " hicn
taxes one-half day each week. For these
and other reasons it seemed wise to cur tail
somewhat the grammar school course.
Hereafter United States history will be
begun in the second class and continued
through the first. English history and
physical geography will be transferred 10
the II Ugh school course. The work in arith-
rnatic ought to be abridged"
Mr.. Lord records great Improvement
wrought by the abolition of written exami-
nations basis for promotion in the
Grammar schools. Now the standing of The
scholar is made up from a careful record of
daily work.
Mr. Holland, superintendent of school
buildings, reports what has been done
during the year to improve and make more

This morning we'll
put them on sale for one

than such goods have
ever been sold for before

When it is considered
that even the plainest of
these pieces represents

is that it can be sold for
such a ridiculous price.
