of the place. If they permit themselves
to be made the tool of the Ilaycotlers in
this instance. they Virtually place them-
selves in their hands and will be called
upon whenever they are needed to give
force to the spirit and designs of the
order. It is asad commentary on the bus-
imas class. or upon that portion repres-
ented by this truculeut class. Some
business men assume the position of
neutrals from mercenary motives only.
It is no unusual thing to hear such sav:
"()h. another can afford to take sidtis.
He is not in business. but we business
itieti cantiot afford to do it. as we depend
on the genetal public for a living." For
the general character of community and
in the interest of good morals and
sound principles it would be better if
such men were not in business. The
practical teachings of their course is
that the chief object of life is gain. and
to secure it every sense of right and
every general interest must stiller. if
necessarv. that they mav make iiionev.
They become a noneiitity in coiiimuniiv
in all matters of general Welfare. and are
actuated oiily by selfish motives. A
business man‘s success. however. is de~
pendent on good order and general pros<
perity. and be. above all others. should
be willing to take his full share of he
sisinsibility. If he lacks the manhood
to do this he is not worthy of the public
confidence and patronage. and ought to
be made to feel the condemnation of
every honest man and: woman.

The large number of scholars in the [W17

dissatisfaction among the patents. but
With the facilities at our command. we
sa ‘ no other way. except to use one of
the lower or basement rooms. as had
been done a unit of List year '. but the
almost constant complaint of partialily.
and the oft repeated assurance from p:ir~

to confine small children. iiitlueiiced

an average above what the law allows in
one room under one teacher. We employ-
ed .\liss Jennie Gregory to asstst .\lrs.

amination of the annexed report of at—
tendance must convince all. that we
shall very soon be compelled to furnish

facts of serious import. In regard to the

demand as a right every item of teach-

During the summer vacation all ofthe
school buildings \vere put in thorough
repair. and the expense though great.
seemed warranted by their condition.
lligli iron picket fences have been erect-
ed around the four furnaces at the
Franklin street house. thus preventing
the children from interfering with the
tires. and greatly lessening the iisk of a
general alarm in the school rooms which
could have been caused by some careless
boy throwing a quantitv of paper or oth-
er highly combustible material into the
furnaces. The buildings. fences. fur-
nnces. and all property of the District
are in such a condition as to obviate the
necessity of any considerable outlay for
some time to come.
FINANCIAL.
The Josephus Peck matter remains as
reported last year. Your Committee have
requested the attorneys for the District
to push the case for trial. but have not
yet succeeded in having it. called.
rxxns FOR 1884.
The. tax laid at the meeting held June
3d, 188-1. amounted to $4364.46. of which
amount .$3.513.4‘3 has been collected.
The cost of laying this tax was as {ch

The rate book was made by your Com-
mittee without expense to the District.
In view of the present District debt.
the amount of annual interest. and such
other expenses as are not. paid by the-
town. vour Commiitee would recon»
mend the laying of a tax (as in former
years). of 2 (two) mills on the dollar. on
the perfected town list of 1885. to bedue
and payable May lot, 1886.
INDEBTEDNESS.
