4 M A Y O R S ADDRESS. 'Gentlemen of the City Council: In pursuance of the requirements o f the City Charter, we have assembled to-day to assume the duties and responsibilities o f the City Government. W e have taken an oath to perform these duties faithfully, and we have invoked Divine aid and strength that we may keep it. Let us be careful in all our deliberations and in all our actions that every obligation which that oath enjoins shall he scrupulously performed, so that the invocation of Divine aid shall be no unmeaning service. It is meet that we remember the protecting care which has sustained and prospered our Municipality, while many cities of our land have suffered from the ravages of war, and as inhabitants of our city and State we have reason to congratulate ourselves upon the exemption we have enjoyed from its immediate and desolating effects. As citizens of the Republic we have witnessed the progress of our National arms in staying and hurling back those who are its enemies, while a wise Providence has so far prolonged the contest, that the cause' which provoked it might be more surely eradicated from the soil of the Nation. This problem, whose solution seemed so doubtful, has been settled by the logic of events, and that Almighty hand which provided the cloud by day and pillar of fire by night for his chosen people, has led us on with a degree of success which no human intelligence could have foreseen. In common with the rest of the Union, in these trial hours of our country, let us avail ourselves of the patriotism of our citizens in answering the calls of the Government for men for the army and navy, and by every means within our control endeavor to strengthen its power in crushing out this nearly exhausted rebellion, proving to the world we are still a Nation, and that our flag, wherever and whenever unfurled, must be respected and protected. The wonderful recuperative power in the people, the inexhaustible hidden treasures of the earth, the strength of the Government, together with its amazing credit at home and abi'oad, the successes of our army and navy under the leadership of Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan, and of Farragut, and Dalilgren, and the brave and invincible men in their command, warrant us in the belief that ere another anniversary o f the firing on

May God give us strength to bear the burdens the struggle has imposed, and cheer us in ail we may do in restoring our common country to unity and peace. ' OUR SOLDIERS. The several calls for men by order of the President, during the last year and a half, making in all 700,000 prior to December 10th last, has been promptly met by enlistments, so that we entered upon the last quota with a surplus, which, with the recent recruits, will obviate a draft in our city. The Legislature of prohibited cities and towns from paying bourn ties, and offered to assume the charge. Bangor was true to her obligations, and while as a city, we were interdicted, when called upon as individuals, our citizens freely and promptly contributed all that was required. The benefactions which are poured out so liberally for the various calls made upon us, in whatever shape they may come, renders any charge of meanness or illiberality, whether applied to municipal or private action, unjust, unkind and uncharitable. The Soldiers Monument, the Soldiers Best, the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, the Preedmen, the [Refugees, Congressional visit, the private munificence to the memory of a most estimable citizen, and last, and not the least, the private subscription to the recruiting fund, with the constant and daily demands upon our benevolence, duly honored, all confirm the position that our people are, and always will be, foremost in every call, and will cheerfully respond to all claims upon them. Our city has furnished thus far during the war about two thousand men for the army and navy, while all but twenty have been by volunteering or by substitutes. Excepting the terrible actions in which the gallant 18th, led on by that brave soldier, Col. Chaplin, (who-with so many others gave his life for his country), and the 31st, under the command of Col. White, suffered so much, and whose thinned ranks tell their own mournful story, bringing grief and sorrow to so many of our homes, we have been wonderfully spared. The per centage of deaths by the casualties of war has been remarkably small, while the general health has been good, owing to the admirable discipline of the army, with the kind offices of our Commissions, which have done much to alleviate suffering and save the lives of our gallant soldiers. W e bear on our memory a Chaplin, Thompson, Sabine, Thatcher, young Daggett, with other brave officers and soldiers of our city. and most sincerely do we tender these bereaved households that consolation on which alone they can rely.. Our duty is not done when we lay their remains in the grave ; but within that enclosure, consecrated to those who have died for their country, their names should be handed down in honored remembrance to the latest posterity. The Adjutant General s report, which will be published, will gives you all the information that is wanted in this department; and in the language of an official of our State, I will say that Bangor has nobly done its duty to the Government. FINANCES. The first matter that should demand your attention among the departments of our city, is that of its finances ; and it gives me pleasure at this stage of my address to state their actual and prospective standing, with the appropriations and expenditures of the past year. The value of the real

6 I, ' t, t 1865.] CITY OF BANGOR. 5 and personal estate of the city for 1864 was $7,075,930. The assessment of two and forty one-hundreths per cent, on this valuation, together with 2725 polls at two dollars each, produced the sum o f $175,682.32, which was required for the following purposes, excepting the State and County tax : Appropriations. Expenditures. Schools, $19, $19, Highway, 20, , Fire, 6, , Pauper, 7, , Salaries, 12, , Interest, 15, , Contingencies, 21, , Permanent Loan, 13, , $113, $110, Unexpended, 3, $113, The State tax was $48, County tax, 7, Overlayings, 8, V $62, There is due from the Collector and Treasurer on uncollected taxes, follow s: -. For 1858, $ , , , , , , 11, $12, * The small amount remaining uncollected of so large assessments placed in his hands, evidences the untiring industry o f this officer. His account with the city has been audited by the Committee on Accounts and Claims, and I am pleased to inform you is entirely satisfactory. There will mature in June next of the permanent loan, $10,000, which should be provided for in the tax bill of the year, as also the amount of the additional bounty of $150 each to recruits, as per resolve of the last City Council. This will call for about $15,000 additional to the above. The State and County tax will be about $90,000, so that the amount necessary to be raised the present year will stand: Permanent loan due in June, $10,000 Additional bounties to recruits, 15,000 State and County tax, 90,000 City appropriations as last year^ 100,500 i $215,500 This amount is as small, in my judgment, as should be thought of, for we can pay a larger tax this, than in any coming year. I f our people de-

7 6 mayor s address. [ mand large and generous expenditures, outside the ordinary expenses of tho city, they must not complain of their taxes, even if they seem onerous. A permanent loan will be required to pay the legal bounties of our soldiers, to an amount not far from $50,000. In making it, I would recommend that it be put in the ten following years, at $5,000 each, at six per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. These bonds, considering the fact that our City debt will be but $208,000 before they are issued, ought not to be sold much below par; but as the money will be wanted at no distant day, they will have to be put on the market for the most they will bring. The Legislature of our State, at its last session, increased the poll tax to three dollars. This addition imposes on us the duty and importance of securing its collection, and I apprehend that some additional force may be needed to facilitate it, at the office of the Collector and Treasurer. Besides this additional poll tax, is the large amount to be collected and disbursed for City, State, and County purposes : and if in connection with this the disbursement of State aid to soldiers families could be performed at the city buildings, and this in money, I am not sure but an additional officer, as by the charter provided, would be an economical and positive advantage. The amount disbursed to soldiers families during the year was $35,029,46, and although the agent who has had the charge of this, is a good officer, giving satisfaction to recipients as well as to the committee associated with him, yet I have for a long time thought it should be placed within and under the care of those to whom the State looks as its almoners, so that no one should have cause to murmur. I commend the whole matter to your careful and thoughtful consideration, as well as the report of the Treasurer ; and also to the importance of a City Auditor, who should be appointed by the government to audit and examine the accounts of this department. SCHOOLS. The reports of the Superintending School Committee and Superintendent, exhibit the condition of this department of our city s forethought and liberality. Its expenditures are prominent among those of the city, but not more so than the importance of their object demands, or our intelligent citizens should willingly incur. The reputation of the Bangor Schools stands pre-eminent, and no words of mine could add to their just enconium. The war, which has affected the attendance of scholars in other cities, has had the same tendency hero, but on recurring to the statistics, we find but a small practical falling off from previous years. The public interest in our schools continues unabated, as attested by the eager throngs of parents and friends at the annual examinations. The committee in their report testify to the entire success of the school-year, and the marked fidelity and success of the Superintendent. The recent death of the principal of tho High School creates a void not easily filled, and in doing this we hardly expect that, with the hitherto limited salary, a suitable person for this important position can be obtained. The union of these schools, associating the youth of both sexes, meets my most hearty approval, and my visits during the term have more and more convinced me of the importance and wisdom of the measure. To give it permanence and character, I will hope that such sanction be given it by the

8 ] CITY OF BANGOR. 7 City Council as will designate it as the Bangor High School, thus putting the measure beyond question. The Committee testify to the entire success o f the union. This department, by being charged with the expense of a school-house in the Central District, to replace that destroyed by an incendiary, has overdrawn its appropriation, but otherwise has endeavored to keep within its limited amount, and I am pleased to bear testimony to its prudent management under the care of so competent a Committee and Superintendent as those of the year just closed. The increasing withdrawal from this department of the Bank Tax, will necessitate the increase of the city appropriation in its behalf. This cannot be avoided; and while again urging the importance o f economy in our expenditures, let me say that this branch o f your care should not suffer pecuniary diminution. Indeed I cannot too strongly enforce the importance of maintaining the public schools o f our city to their highest standard and usefulness. H IG H W A Y D E P A R T M E N T ; The annual report of the Commissioner o f Streets gives us the usual statistical information, with the receipts and expenditures of his department. He says that owing to the advance in the price of labor, lumber, hay, grain, and all material that enter into the work of his department, the amount expended has exceeded the appropriation. Thi, I apprehend, could not be well avoided, as we could not foresee the advance in prices; and all the departments have cost more than was expected, and this one no more in proportion than the rest. The largest outlay on any one street was that of State Street, costing about $3,300. But for the large and influential'petition from, its residents, some other year than the past might have been chosen for making so large an expenditure. Now, that it is done, 1 apprehend few can be found who would change it, for it has made one of the most beautiful avenues in our City. The streets, roads and sidewalks are in as good condition as we can expect, and no large appropriation is needed for their repair, except in the case of the Valley Avenue, which has been neglected, and the making of West Broadway, which should receive your attention. A ll should receive the usual care for safety and comfort, and be made and kept worthy of our city. No claim for damage to persons has been made, except such as have been, or'may be> compromised, and our care should be not to allow occasion for any. Two stone culverts are needed, and should be built one on the Kenduskeag road, and one on the Six Mile Palls road. The City Council of last year contracted for a Sewer on Ohio Street. Others are needed on Main Street, and on State Street from Broadway. The importance o f permanent sewerage as a sanitary measure, demands your attention. The law of the State provides that owners of property abutting a main sewer may be compelled to enter it. Under a mistaken notion that the positive law on sewerage had been repealed by the Legislature, (but from the Commissioners who have revised and codified our ordinances, we find the law makes it imperative), parties who should have done so have failed to enter these main sewers, while the waste water is allowed to bo uncared for. Every

9 8 mayor s address. [ one who has the sanitary condition of our city at heart, should willingly avail himself of these advantages, and do his part in promoting the health and comfort of all ; and I would urge upon you the importance of giving this branch of the department your earnest and careful attention. Your Street Commissioner, under an order of the City Council, has commenced preparing materials for the purpose of Macadamizing, and I have no doubt that when once introduced, the success of this mode of making our business streets will be fully appreciated. I would call your attention to the Arnold gravel bank near First street, which belongs to the city, but at present no way has been found to reach it. It should be made available, or the city should dispose of the lot. The Highway Department claims large appropriation, and I commend the report of the Street Commissioner to your consideration. PAU PER DEPARTMENT. Prominent among the benefactions which our city long ago founded is that for the care and comfort of our poor. This class we have always with us, and it seems to be one of the means which an overruling Providence uses to knit and cement us together. There can bo no sin where there is no departure from the line of purity. Poverty itself is no sin, but it is the motive frequently which draws many a person into the paths of vice who would otherwise be an honest and good citizen. W e should be careful in our judgment of the poor, not to confound the term with crime, for in so doing we bring a reproach upon that class who have been, or may be, unfortunate, while'it deters many an honest man or woman from receiving that portion which they are entitled to, from the fear of being wrongly classified. This department, under the judicious management of its Overseers, has done the city good service; and the inmates of the Alms House, and our citizens at large, should be gratified that the vacancy occurring by the death of Mr. Gilman,.for many years its excellent Superintendent, has been so well filled by the present incumbent and its matron. Outside of this establishment, and within our city, are many who, by a little helping care, can support themselves. The Overseers avail themselves of every opportunity to assist this class, and while it relieves the burden of full support, it is an encouragement to more of self-reliance, and effects a saving to the city. m This department has kept very near its appropriation, and the small excess can be accounted for by the high price of provisions, and the unusual cold and severe winter. I f I could be allowed to make one suggestion for the improvement of the young who are at the Alms House, it would be to establish a school, or homej in the unoccupied hospital building in the rear, where, separated > from the adults of this institution, they might be educated and trained for the more useful walks of life. This suggestion meets the judgment of the Overseers, who are the guardians and careful almoners of our charities, and I would commend it to your regard. I would bespeak for the matters embraced in the report of the Overseers, particularly thakof heating and ventilation, your thoughtfulness and care.

10 1-865.} CITY 0E BANGOR.' 9 F IR E D E P A R T M E N T. This department, now under such admirable management, is so well arranged and systematized, as to need little, if any, change. The several fire companies are full, and I am happy to know that the utmost harmony prevails among the members. The introduction of steam has had the effect not only to lessen the amount of losses by fire, hut to abate materially the undue emulation and friction which formerly existed. The committee of last year who had the matter in charge, haye contracted with the Portland Company for a Steam Eire Engine Which Will be ready for use about the first of May. This arrangement will necessitate the providing of suitable accommodations for its care; and after some thought, And at the suggestion of the Chief Engineer, together With the Committee on the Eire Department, I would recommend that a building be erected on the Columbia Street side of the City Hall lot, capable of accommodating both steamers, and provide a workshop, while the Hook and Ladder Company and apparatus might be accommodated in the basement. In doing this, the building and lot on State Street might be disposed of as no longer needed, while the income from the sale would quite gieet the expenses of this new structure. The City Hall lot being central and near the city stables, valuable time might be saved at the first alarm, which might prevent conflagration. Ho outlay for reservoirs is called for; and no other outlay of consequence is required, but repairs on steamer Ho. 1, and some fire coats for hosemen, with one new hose carriage, are asked for. The number o f fires the past year was 14, false alarms 2 ; amount o f ascertained losses $9,790 00; insured, $8,490 00; uninsured, $1,3Q0 00. Deferring you to the Chief Engineer s report, I can but congratulate our citizens on the efficiency o f this important Department. v C IT Y M A R S H A L.. 9 V In his report the City Marshal discloses the usual amount of crime with which all municipalities more or less abound. W e could wish it otherwise, but until human nature undergoes a change for the better, drunkenness and crime will walk together as cause and effect, and their attendant evils will surely follow. Complaints are unjustly made at times, of the inefficiency of our Police, but in a city no larger than ours, with no very large element to draw from of those who are qualified and will accept place in this depart* ment, and with the moderate salaries paid in its service, it is not strange that other callings should prove more attractive. In my opinion our Police, as a whole, is, for what is required of it, as good and efficient as the average of cities. The system of a day and night Police works well, and if our people would be less nervous at every burglarious attempt, which is very apt to be magnified, and help sustain the character of the department, by their influence and their voice, less difficulty would be felt in this branch of service, so important to the welfare of our city. The number o f arrests during the the year has been-*^ 856 Eor drunkenness, 408 Discharged,. 434 Prosecuted, 272 2

11 \ 10 mayor s address. [ , The amount received for fines and services, as by the City Marshal s report, is $1, As this matter of police is intimately connected with the County, and as our city pays two-fifths of the expense of the Criminal Court of the same, I cannot let the opportunity pass without urging upon your attention the importance and necessity of taking some steps towards the erection of a new County Jail. The present one is entirely unsuited to its purpose, both as regards the needs of prisoners and as a secure place of confinement, and it will give me great pleasure, if, through the medium of this address, I can reach the ears of the County Commissioners, or the people of the County, so that a movement is made in this matter in good earnest. The House o f Correction now at our Alms House, should be removed, and unless the County very soon takes this matter in hand, our citizens should protest against the present connection. CITY SOLICITOR. This officer, by his annual report, gives us the gratifying information that the Court docket is nearly cleared of all actions pending against the city. The only case qf importance which is not finally settled, is that interminable suit of Veazie vs. Bangor ; and my own judgment, confirmed by that of eminent counsel, is that the case has gone where it will not be heard from again. Every one who has an equitable or legal claim against the city is entitled to be heard. Our citizens are too generous to allow the contrary, and our City Government would not have it otherwise. This long pending claim having been through the ordeal of legal adjustment, the plaintiff in interest must not complain should the full Court confirm the doings of the Court below. CITY PH YSICIAN. The report of this officer, to which I will call your attention, gives satisfactory evidence that in a quiet and gentlemanly manner he has satisfactorily performed the duties incumbent on him.. His recommendaions respecting the heating and ventilation of the Alms House are worthy of attention, and his testimony in favor of the present superintendent only confirms my own good opinion of this officer, derived from my visits to this institution. To prevent the spread of any dangerous epidemic, I would earnestly recommend the importance of continuing the system of vaccination in our public schools, that the youth of our city may be protected, and that we may guard against the evils of its non-performance. HARBOR MASTER. The report of this officer, having already been published, renders its recapitulation unnecessary at this time. It is sufficient to say that the duties of this officer appear to have been well discharged and acceptably to those who are most directly affected by them. The fees collected for the year were $667, of which $125, have been returned to the city for the purpose of clearing obstructions in Kenduskeag Stream. This matter has secured the attention of the Committee who had it in charge the past year, and this case should be continued from year to year, that this highway be made as safe as possible for vessels whieh enter it.

12 i ,] CITY OF BANGOR., - ' l l The imports of last year do not show as large as the year previous, nor do our exports and shipbuilding exceed it, hut on the whole the business of our city is in a healthy condition, and our ambition should be to maintain its reputation, so that, at the close o f this war, our people will be, in a condition to embark in new enterprises. C IT Y AGEN CY. I can but refer you to the report of the Agent for the statistical matter therein contained. The sales o f the year do not differ materially from former years and I cannot see, if the Agency is continued, as by law authorized, that it is not as carefully managed as such an establishment can be ; and so long as our people will use spirits, it may be better that their -sale should be under the control of the City. The profits of the Store, after paying all expenses, are $1, The amount of forfeited liquors the past year which have been placed in this Agency for sale, is $1,548 75; while those adjudged unfit for sale have been destroyed by the proper authorities. Whether or not a severer license law would tend in any way to lessen the use of spirituous liquors, by confining the sale to authorized agents, I cannot say but sure I am that at present in our larger towns and cities, the law is quite unmanageable, loaded down as it is with such burdens as to make it in effect almost a nullity. It is useless to encumber the statute book with laws so severe that the people will not submit to them, nor the proper officers enforce them ; and if the cause of temperance is to be promoted by legislative enactments, they must be of such a character as meets the sense of the community while they add to the strength and importance o f all moral and benevolent reforms. This doctrine of licenses, I am aware, will offend some of the most ardent ' o f those who think otherwise but my experience for the past two years, in an official position, confirms me that in a city so large as ours, that with a severe license law to regulate it, the true cause of temperance would be promoted by limiting and placing the sale in such hands as would, under the ey * f the authorities, not abuse it. Moral suasion has been laid aside to be replaced by prohibition; this will not answer, or does not and the consequence is, a return and retrograde movement. Each ope is looking outside of himself and to the law, to create a reformation, that should be made personal and practical. C E M E T E R Y B O A R B. The report of this board has &certain melancholy interest in its statistics, keeping before us the law of our mortality. As we increase in population, the mortuary statistics keep pace with i t The number of deaths the past year exceeds by twenty-five that of the year previous. On the 17th of June last the Soldiers Monument in Mount Hope Cemetery was solemnly consecrated with appropriate ceremonies. By the constitution of the Assocition, the Mayor, for the time being, is its president, and the care should be that this sacred ground should be preserved inviolate and be made beautiful and attractive-^worthy o f the cause which it commemorates and which is enshrined in our memories. \

13 i 1 2 mayor s address. [ TREES. I would call your attention at this early season to the shade trees of our city, that, as in the past they have received some attention by trimming, cleaning and pruning, so in the coming year this matter should receive attention. Among the adornments of our city, none, I apprehend, is so important as those of our Parks, and Squares, and Trees. They need constant attention and care, without which they soon go to waste, but with which they become attractive and beaqtiful. The preservation of wbat early thoughtfulness has secured for us in this respect, claims your careful attention. CITY ORDINANCES. The commissioners appointed to revise and codify the ordinances of our city have completed their labors, and-their work is now in order for publication, upon its acceptance by the city government. This compilation is a matter of much importance, and I would recommend that it be immediately put to press. M AIN E CENTRAL RAILROAD. I have the pleasure to inform you that the bonds of the city for $20,000, due in April last, have been surrendered to the City Treasurer, and also the coupons on the loan which has matured. There will be due, the coming month, $20,000 more, and I am authorized to say that this amount will be taken care of. The amount of outstanding bonds is $700,000, and in no possible event can there be a doubt of the security of the city. I would suggest that as the charter provides for the election of one director of this corporation by the city, that the Mayor, for the time being, be the officer in that board. Matters may arise where the city would be in better position for its interest, if represented by its official head. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AM ERICAN RAILROAD. It would be gratifying to me at this time to be able to give assurance that this long agitated enterprise, so important to this section and the State, had assumed a shape of positive and certain advancement; but I regret to inform you that the expected aid from Congress has not been realized, owing to the condition of the country and the consequent rush of business at the last closing session. The Committee appointed by the City7- Government to proceed to Washington, attended to their duty and found the matter in such a position that it could not be reached, though the special Committee of Congress upon this matter, were unanimous in favor of reporting a bill, and had no doubt that the aid will be granted at the next session. Our city has voted its credit in its behalf for $500,000; the State has done its part; Massachusetts is alive to the importance of this enterprise; the third rail question has been disposed of, and it now seems that all these advantages, if properly directed, will ere long inaugurate a work which our City and State will never regret. In a commercial point of view, we, as a city, cannot aff#rd to lose the trade which is lost to us without the realization of this enterprise. In its military aspect our State and Nation should not omit to avail themselves of its advantages ; and as good citizens we should extend the hand of fel-

14 ] CITY 0? BANGOR. 1 3 lowship to our Provincial neighbors who are striving so earnestly to meet us in their efforts for hastening this, so desirable communication. 'I n a corporate capacity we have done all that was asked.or expected, but if as citizens we realized the importance of the undertaking, nothing would be left undone till its consummation gave us rail communication with our neighbors on the north and east. In as concise a manner as possible, gentlemen, I have invited your attention to the several departments, giving you such hints as the experience of my position has afforded me, and shall from time to time, as the occasion demands, communicate with. you. Gentlemen of the City Council: In closing this, my last annual address, I would tender m y grateful acknowledgements to my fellpw citizens for the honor conferred in thrice electing me to the position which I have endeavored to fill; and if, in the past, my services have tended to promote the interests of the city, and the welfare of its people, m y ambition to succeed has been amply repaid; and I shall endeavor in the future, as in the past, to merit their esteem, while caring for this, the city o f my adoption. And upon you, gentlemen, let me urge the importance of faithfulness to your trust and obligations, to guard well every avenue that would tend to extravagance or waste, to have an eye to,the growing wants of our city, and to be sure that, unless for extraordinary purposes, the debt of the city shall not be increased. Belying on your intelligence and a mutual co-operation in the discharge of the duties imposed and assumed, it will give me pleasure, as it should be yours, to endeavor to perform our several duties, so that our constituents shall have no cause o f complaint, on the contrary, at the close o f our official year, commend us for our fidelity. And to you, fellow citizens, who are honoring us with your/presence at these inaugurative services, let me say, that much of the care and labor of these offices are made lighter and more pleasant, when we receive your kind word of advice and counsel. Let me urge upon you this watchful care over our several acts, and what is good and praiseworthy accept, and what is otherwise condemn. Relying on this aid and this counsel, we enter upon the duties assumed, trusting we shall prove no unworthy servants. SA M U E L H. D A LE. N

25 / BEPOBT OF TH E SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEE. To the City Council: The Superintending School Committee of the City of Bangor, herewith respectfully submit their Annual Report of the administration of the Department of the Public Schools for the municipal year The Committee was duly organized at its first meeting, held March 30th, Joseph Bartlett, Esq., was elected Chairman, and Rev. Joseph S. Burgess, Secretary. At the same meeting Charles P. Roberts, Esq., was unanimously re-elected Superintendent of the Schools. Mr. Roberts has devoted himself assiduously to the duties of his office and has performed them with marked fidelity and success. The Superintendent s Report to this Board contains all the details of the operations of the School Department that are of public interest, and is appended to this Report. The Committee are happy to be able to report an entirely successful school year. Our School Department is in a condition which reflects great credit upon the city and our experienced and faithful corps of instructors- Our School Houses are in a very good condition, and thljjtgrounds about several of them have been greatly improved. The expense of such repairs to school property as are rendered necessary from the destructive propensities of idle and malicious persons, has been much less during the present year than in former years. The public sentiment which reverentially regards our public schools and school property, seems to be more potent and universally diffused among all classes of our citizens than ever before a fact which we take pleasure in recognizing publicly. A t the commencement of the Eall Term the Committee transferred the High School for Boys to the rooms of the High School for Girls in Abbot

26 i i ] CITY OF BANGOR. 2 5 Square, and both were given in charge of Mr. Bucknam, the principal of the la^t named school. The assistant teacher of the former, Miss Hallowell, was retained in the service. The two assistants of the High School for Girls, Misses Farnham and Wilson, were also retained, and the two schools together were favored, in the beginning of the new arrangement, with an instructive force rarely equalled in all the good qualities of school teachers. Hear the close of the year, the school sustained a heavy loss in the death of the Principal, to whose memory and worth the Committee would here add their official tribute of respect. The principal motive for the transfer was economy in school expenditures, ) as thereby the salary o f one Principal teacher and the incidental expenses of maintaining a separate High School, would be saved. The Committee entertained but little doubt of the expediency of the transfer except from the non-adaptation of the rooms and approaches of the High School for Girls for both schools, and the subject o f remodeling them before the transfer should be made was discussed by the Board. It was decided at length to make the transfer without reconstructing the house, which at first seemed essential. The Committee are happy to state that the experiment has proved successful beyond their anticipations. The teachers and the pupils of both schools cordially adapted themselves to their new school relations, and by their mutual efforts have produced the desired result. The schools logether are somewhat incommoded by the school and class-rooms as they are now. Should the number o f pupils increase, a reconstruction o f the present edifice, or the erection of a new one, will be indispensable. The Committee regret the occasion to allude to the wanton destruction of the school-house in Central District by fire in April last. This school-house was moved from the east to the west side o f the Kenduskeag stream, some i * four years since, for the accommodation ot the consolidated W iley and Hatch s, or Strickland s Mills Districts. This consolidation was deemed wise and expedient by the proper authorities at that time, as it brought two small schools together, and raised the combined school from the 'class of District schools to the rank o f Annual schools. Nevertheless, the movement was the occasion of much hard feelidg and considerable threatening among some disaffected persons'of the District, and this feeling was kept alive by complaints of the location and accommodations of the school-house until it undoubtedly led to its destruction. The heinous character of this outrage upon the property of the city, and the circumstances attending it, justified the city authorities in summoning a Board of Inquiry in the hope that the guilty parties might be brought to justice After a patient hearing o f many witnesses summoned from the neighborhood, the Board arrived at a finding from which we make the following extract: But while we do not charge any individual with being engaged in the specific act of setting the fire, we find other facts and circumstances which place a large share of responsibility for the destruction of the school-house upon some o f the inhabitants of the Central District. The union of districts displeased a number in each of the former organizations, and their utterances were more objectionable than a mere expression o f dissatisfaction 4

27 2 6 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE. [ , with the doings of the city officials. Not content with proper and legitimate efforts for a change, and substituting their passion, prejudice or pride for the judgment of the proper authorities aiming at the public good, and making their own fancied interests and whims the standard of rights numbers on each side of the stream denounced the school-house as a nuisance, and in various ways, in public places, permitted, and in some instances encouraged, the belief that its destruction would be a pardonable, if not a meritorious act. These acts of parents, if not committed in the immediate presence of children, could not have been unknown to them, and strongly tended to deteriorate the youthful character in the District, and to incite the vicious and reckless to criminal courses, and their natural fruit has now been exhibited in the wanton commission of a high crime, involving a loss of educational privileges to the District, as well as a pecuniary injury to our citizens-at large. As such conduct, however injurious to the cause of correct morals and good citizenship, is only recognized as an offense in the forum of conscience and of public opinion, we make no mention of individual acts, and leave the subject to the consideration of parents and others, who have, in our' judgment, failed in their duties ; but we hope that hereafter the inhabitants of the Central District will understand that an enlightened and morally correct public sentiment furnishes the best protection for property, and that the education and welfare of their children depend more upon the precepts and examples afforded by themselves than upon the location of a school house. The District, by this wicked act, were without school privileges during two-thirds of the school year. In the Pall, under an order of the City Council, the old school-house in the former W iley District was moved to the site of the house which was destroyed, and entirely refitted, and tho school was re-opened at the beginning of the Winter Term. Theaccommodation? now afforded'are much superior to what they were previously, and there appears to be a much better feeling in the District, from which it is to be hoped that the future will not have to chronicle a repetition of a wrong so disgraceful to the neighborhood- and to human nature.

28 1» IR/IEIFOIR/T OF T H E SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. «JTo the Superintending School Committee: G e n t l e m e n - A t the commencement of the school year, the estimates of expenditures, founded upon ah increase of from ten to fifteen per cent, in the salaries of teachers, were $20,287. The amount derivable from the Bank Tax, which is rapidly diminishing, as the State hanks are coming into the National Banking system, was then unknown. In 1863 it was $2, For the past year it amounted to only $1, a falling off of more than one thousand dollars. For the ensuing year it will probably not be more than one-half or one-third o f the latter sum. This rapidly failing source of aid to our school fund, without any provision to supply its place, necessitates larger and larger appropriations by the city to maintain our school organization; for whether banks become nationalized or defunct, or any extraneous aid is received for the support of our schools, I doubt not our city will continue to maintain them without any curtailment o f their efficiency. The appropriation made was, $19, Am ount o f Bank tax, ' 1, Total,. $20, The expenditures have been, 20, Amount overdrawn. $ A more'particular classification o f expenditures is as follows: Compensation o f Teachers,- ** $16, Fuel, 1, Preparing and housing sarnie, Amount carried forward, $18,279 42

29 2 8 REPORT OE THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [ I 860 Amount brought forward, $18, Moving and refitting School House in Central District, Repairs, Ordinary and Extraordinary, and Materials, 1, Books and Stationery, Hires, Sweeping and Cleaning, Brooms, Brushes, Pails, &c., Miscellaneous, $ The overdrawal of the appropriation is in consequence of furnishing a school-house to replace the one destroyed last spring in the Central District, the order for which was made by the City Council in the autumn, without any appropriation being made for the purpose, and by other unforeseen contingencies which could not be included in the estimates. Oue of these was the building of a substantial fence about the Salem Court school-house lot, rendered necessary by the re-grading of State street during the summer. The expenditures at Central District and Salem Court will quite balance the overdrawal. But for the saving secured by the consolidation of schools, the amount overdrawn must have been much greater, owing to the increase, after the estimates were made, in the price of labor, materials, and fuel. The expenditure for fuel exceeded the estimate by rising $400 ; but the amount saved by consolidation some seven hundred dollars has met the increased requirements for fuel and ordinary repairs. Although the price of tuel, taking hard and soft wood together, increased more than fifty per cent, over the year previous, the actual cost of the last annual supply is only about sixteen per cent, greater than for the previous year. This is accounted for in part by a diminution in the supply in consequence of a large surplus from the previous year, and in part by the purchase on favorable terms of a considerable portion of the supply during the winter, instead of during the summer and fall, as has been the usual custom in the School Department. The amount of fuel now on hand is quite large, and probably equals the amount on hand at the same season of any previous year. The wood was of very excellent quality and was all prepared and housed in good condition during dry weather. A comparison of the School Department with other Departments will demonstrate the economy of its management under the existing rule of high prices. "While the Highway Department s expenditures, for instance, have increased rising seventy per cent, over 1863, those of the School Department have increased less than ten per cent.; and deducting the Central District school-house, legitimately chargeable to a separate fund, about six per cent. Indeed the Committee in their estimates only asked for the modest increase of six per cent, over the expenditures of the previous year. Although there has been an increase in the compensation of teachers of more than two thousand dollars within the last two years, the increase is entirely dis^roportioned to the increase of wages and prices generally, and quite inadequate to the teachers necessities. In common with the salaried class generally, our teachers feel, and some very sorely, the peculiar hardships of a depreciated currency. While nearly all other labor has advanced to meet the necessities of the times, salaries have been but moderately in-

30 ] -CITY OF BANGOR. 2 9 creased; and the instances are numerous where individuals, devoted to the public service, are obliged to make up the deficiency o f their compensation to their support from their private means, or by borrowing.. Faithful and competent service is at all times worthy of a living support; and it is not to be wondered at that our faithful and hard-working teachers, rendering the public good service in the most responsible field of labor, should feel that injustice is done them, and that they are made to bear more than their share of the burdens incident to the war. The prospect is now cheering that the crisis of the struggle is past, and that the expiring rebellion will see the currency and prices resuming their normal condition and restore the equilibrium between labor and its reward. The Committee have not been insensible to the claims of the teachers, and have done all they could to satisfy them o.ut of the fund committed to their hands. In view o f the failing Bank tax, they were induced to ask for as modest a sum as possible, and such as would be granted, and yet the amount asked for was reduced four hundred dollars by the City Fathers. The city has already lost the services of first-class female teachers by reason of the inadequacy of their compensation, and several others, whom we cannot afford to lose from our corps of teachers, are strongly impelled to quit their posts from the same cause. I f we have not the means to meet the demands of all, would it not be well to discriminate in favor of the most faithful and successful? This would be doing simple -justice to them, and prove, it seems to me, a powerful incentive to others to bring themselves up to the same standard of merit. R E P A IR S. From what has already been said in regard to prices of materials and mechanical labor, the sum expended in repairs could not be expected to exhibit very extensive improvements. The moving of the unoccupied schoolhouse in the old W iley District to the site of that destroyed by evil-minded persons in the Central District, and the re-fitting of the same, cost a sum nearly sufficient, in ordinary times, to build a District school-house. The present accommodations are much larger than before, and in every respect t'he removed and re-constructed house is greatly superior to that which was destroyed, and much more acceptable to the District. The school premises occupying the eligible and conspicuous site at the corner of State and Pirie Streets, whose dilapidated condition and offensive arrangement enjoyed altogether more prominence in the public eye than their merits deserved, have been remodeled and renovated. The lot is now enclosed with a substantial picket fence, of wood, stone and iron, well painted, and the whole appearance of the grounds has undergone an entire change for the better. ' N The re-grading of State street destroyed the old fence at the Salem Court school-house lot, and necessitated the building of another after the grade was completed. The new fence is of the same substantial character as that at the corner of State and Pine streets, and like that built last year about the Centre street school-house lot. A large proportion of the school-house fences are old and in process of ruin, and it has required no little patching and care to keep them on their

31 3 0 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [ 'C feet. The great gale of November, which, like the election of that month, swept away a great deal of rotten wood, prostrated half a dozen of them. A new and improved walk has been built in front of the High School House in Abbot Square, leading from the street to the house, and other.considerable repairs have been made in that Academic ground. The other expenditures under this head have been distributed very generally among the school premises in the city proper, and nearly all the suburban schoolhouses have shared in this outlay. Many of our school-houses are old, and show the wear of the elements upon their roofs and walls, and it must hereafter require a larger expenditure than heretofore to keep them in repair. The outlay hitherto has been quite small. Preservation of material, as well as appearances, call for a ju dicious expenditure of lead and oil, which has for some time been delayed in the hope of a reduction in the price of these articles. Indeed a large sum of money might be judiciously applied to the renovation and improvement of the school premises generally, inside and out, so that they may compare favorably with the general condition of the public and private buildings of our city and be worthy of the cause to which they are devoted. Neat and well-appointed school-rooms are in themselves no slight auxiliaries in the work of good education, by cultivating the taste and a love of order and neatness in the young. Many of our school-houses were built before the claims of esthetics received much public attention, and, consequently, our city, in this respect, may be behind some other cities, not more enterprising and wealthy, but whose more recent growth has enabled them to apply the modern improvements in the construction of their school-houses. Although our school accommodations are far from what is desirable, it is said by those who have good opportunities of observation, that they will compare favorably with those of other places in our State, W e should not be satisfied with the result of comparison, but should aim to secure absolute excellence, and not rest contented with the palpable contrast between our substantial and beautiful edifices, consecrated to Religion, and those devoted to its friend and ally Education. As the old school-houses of our city succumb to time, I cannot doubt that the growing public spirit and taste of our citizens will replace them with more appropriate structures. TH E SCHOOLS. The number of different schools maintained during the year, was fiftysix, which, by consolidation, was reduced to fifty-four one High, three Select, five Grammar, fifteen Intemediate and Mixed, eighteen Primary, and twelve Suburban. The whole number of different teachers employed was seventy-nine Males five, Females seventy-four as Principals, sixty-five, as Assistants, fourteen. The annual cost of tuition per scholar in the several schools, exclusive of the cost of fuel, repairs, etc., based upon the average attendance during the last two-thirds of the year, is exhibited in the following table: Attendance.

The schools in these Districts,- on the average, comparer with the Intermediate grade, and the expense of tuition, it will be seen, is Very nearly equal. The two High Schools were united at the beginning of the Dali term; and at the beginning of the Winter term the Boys Grammar School on Centrostreet, which has1been for several years in charge of Miss Lymburner, wasunited with Mr. Stuart s Boys Grammar School on Spring street. The number o f pupils in the Centre street school has been quite small for several years, and a falling off in the Spring street school rendered the union possible. Miss Lymburner was then transferred to the Central Districtschool, which was just ready to open in the newly prepared house. i. No Apprentices School has been opened the past year, the meagre and inconstant attendance and small progress of this school for several years past having led to its discontinuance. Those of the class usually attending this school, to the number of about forty, who applied for school privileges, I distributed among other schools, according to locality and qualification. Many of these exhibited the same traits which characterized the later sessions of the Apprentices School irregularity of attendance and slipping out two or three weeks before the close of the term. Some years since tho Apprentices School was quite a feature of our school system, being large'- ly attended, and by many worthy and studious young mechanics who manifested an earnest desire for mental improvement. The war, in its demand upon young men to fill the army, or take the place of those who have gone to fill it, has wrought a great change in the numbers and material for such a school, and for a few years past the appellation of the school had become misnomer. The higher grades of schools, without its being necessary to particularize them, have maintained during the year the high standard of excellence which has distinguished them tor several years. The corps of teachers in these grades have risen to their present position by successive promotion from the inferior grades, and therefore bring to their work a high order o f educational skill, which is further stimulated by a wholesome rivalry. The lower grades of schools have suffered in an unusual degree during the year from the prevalence of the epidemic diseases peculiar to childhood. The mumps and measles reduced several schools during the Spring term to less than one half their usual numbers; and some of the schools were very much troubled in the fall from the same cause; while the winter was prolific of colds and coughs, which reduced the attendance in the higher as well as the lower grades of schools. Notwithstanding these hindrances, the corps

33 3 2 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [ of teachers have labored with great assiduity to advance their schools, and have, with few exceptions, met with gratifying success. There are few, if any, who have not labored hard to win success and approbation, and many seem to have devoted themselves soul and body to their work. A tew of the schools have not attained the standard desirable, which is to be accounted for in part by peculiar difficulties, and in part by a lack of the necessary elements of success in the teacher. It gives mo pleasure to allude to the gymnastic exercisos introduced into the schools by the teachers who have availed themselves of the instruction of Mrs. Simons. These exercises are heartily entered into by tlig pupils, and serve to break the tedium of the school-room, refresh the bodies of the pupils and give new life and cheerfulness to the school. The Suburban schools have been unusually successful and satisfactory during the past year, there having been no disturbance or interruption of anyone during the Summer or Winter term. This success is quite remarkable from the fact that a year rarely elapses without some interruption, or change of teachers, in these schools, in consequence of disaffection and disturbance. In but one District has any dissatisfaction become audible, and sufficient to impair the usefulness of the school. The teachers of Suburban schools, besides peculiar difficulties arising from neighborhood jealousies, encounter great disadvantages in securing a desirable degree of progress. These schools are ungraded, the classes are numerous, and the pupils, with their parents approval too generally, pertinaciously cling to higher text-books than are suited to their capacity, and are unwilling to submit to that thoroughness of drill in rudimental principles, without which little true progress can be secured. There is a strong disposition to go through a book, rather than to master it, to measure advancement by quantity rather than quality unmindful of the fact that what is worth learning, is worth learning well, and what is not learned well, can hardly be said to be learned at all. THE HIGH SCHOOL. The past year has been an eventful one in the history of our High Schools. The union of the Boys High School and Girls High School, which has been agitated at different times for several years past, at the beginning of the Fall Term was quietly and successfully accomplished, and was the result of a concurrence of circumstances. The Boys High School, for several years declining in numbers, reached an average of less than thirty, making the cost of tuition between $40 and $50 per year for each pupil a sum much larger than the cost of tuition in most of the Colleges in our country, and more than it was believed our citizens were willing to pay. The school seemed to have reached a point of debate whether it should cease, or what should be done with it. The premises which it occupied were unattractive, and there was no reasonable ground of belief that the numbers would be materially increased for several years to come. The school left without a principal at the beginning of the year by the resignation of Mr. F. E. Tower, passed into the charge of Mr. M. W. Tewksbury, who, although entirely successful and acceptable in his administration, was dissatisfied with the contracted sphere of labor, and strongly urged -the union of the schools,

34 ], CITY OF BANGOB. I as an important educational measure, without regard to who might he chosen principal. The number in the Girls High School, which formerly occupied the full capacity of the school-room, had fallen off so that on the score of accommodation the union was possible. Economic considerations strongly seconding the moral and intellectual advantages which it was believed must attend the union, the schools were brought together under the charge of Mr. Robert P. Bucknam, and his assistants, Miss Laura M. E&rnliam and Amanda M. Wilson, who constituted the faculty of the Girls High School, with whom was now associated Miss Susan M. Hallowell, the accomplished and efficient assistant teacher o f the Boys High School. Although in consequence o f some dissimilarity of studies and difference of degrees o f progress, the union of the classes was not so intimate as desirable, and as it will become in a year or two, as successive classes start and travel together, the united school moved smoothly, harmoniously, and prosperously forward, until upon the very eve o f the school-year, its progress was suddenly arrested by the heavy stroke- of death which removed its faithful and beloved principal. ' ' The unanimous exhibition of sorrow on the part of the scholars, and the substantial tokens of the community in behalf o f the bereaved family, evidenced the growing appreciation of the services and worth of the deceased. To finite reason it seems dark and incomprehensible that a career o f extensive usefulness so well begun, and to which the flush of manhood gave promise of many bright and fruitful years, should thus suddenly be arrested. Could we penetrate the cloud, we should undoubtedly see that the faithful teacher was but removed to a higher service, and amidst sorrow s tears for present loss, we might say with Tennyson " _ Nor blame we death because he bare The use of virtue out of earth, W e know transplanted human worth W ill bloom to profit otherwhere. v By the union of these schools the boys were transferred from their narrow and uninviting quarters to the large and pleasant rooms of the Girls High School, the contrast between which premises had for years been a theme of complaint among the boys; the apparatus for the illustration of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy, quite extensive and involving considerable expense in its manipulation, being located in the latter, is now conveniently accessible to all. Each school, separately, had the nucleus of a library, the junction of which may prove the beginning o f, an' extensive and valuable collectionr'the last graduating class, as a token of their continuing interest in the school, made a handsome donation of volumes to this neascent intellectual store-house; an example worthy of imitation by all succeeding classes. By this union, also, the advantages o f vocal and instrumental music, superior to those which the separate schools could possess, are enjoyed by all. The musical talent of the boys blonds harmoniously with that of the girls, and as the complement of each other they swell with richer fullness the vocal chorus; and by this union can we doubt the beneficial reciprocal influence of the sexes the sweet and refining influence of the gentler upon the rougher; the healthier tone inparted by the m asculine to the feminine character; the increased incentive to application and excellence 5

35 8 4 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [ in the competition of the sexes; and, generally, an improvement in all those qualities, themselves approximating the best and highest education, which make the heart better, the head wiser, and the manners more refined and agreeable. Although considerable prejudice has existed heretofore in our community against the mixed system in education, I believe it is scarcely regarded an open question among educators; experience having demonstrated, wherever a fair trial has been given, the correctness of the deductions of social and moral philosophy that those who are to live together in society, may safely and wisely be educated together in the school-room. The Superintendent of schools of Brooklyn N. Y., in his report several years since, upon this matter says: The advocates of the Mixed school feel that thesoftening and refining influence of woman in her girl-hood, should not be lost in our schools; they do not feel that the Creator has created the male and the female under such circumstances of temptation that they cannot safely mingle in the exercises of the school-room, under the eye of the teacher. In view of the great influence woman is to exercise in modern civilization and Christianity, the question whether the sexes shall be associates in the school-room, as in the family, and as they must be in after life, becomes a problem of great importance. Our schools of all other places, need the influence of woman as teacher and pupil. The natural desire of approbation is one of the strongest incentives that can be brought to bear upon the minds of the young of both sexes. This consideration will have great power in relation to propriety of deportment, refinement of manners and courteous behavior. The boy is naturally somewhat rude, and this is effectually counteracted by meeting the other sex in recitation, while the morbid sensibility that is sometimes exhibited by the girl, needs the influence of masculine vigor and activity to induce a healthy tone, and prepare for the rough conflicts of life. Each, growing up in the presence of the other, and under similar training, acquires a keener discrimination and a truer appreciation of the mental and moral character of the other, than could be gained in any other way. As the Creator, in the beginning, made them male and female, and as they must together act the grand drama of life, they should be educated together in order fully to accomplish these great ends. A distinguished English writer says that he was convinced from his own recollections and from what he learned from experienced teachers in largo schools, that the primal law of nature teaches that the more we can assimilate on a largo scale the public to the domestic' training, the better for all. And, in refutation of an existing impression that, in early education, tho mixture of the sexes would tend to make the girls masculine and the boys effeminate, he says-experience shows that it is all the other way. Boys learn a manly and protesting tenderness, and the girls become more feminine and truthful. P R IM A R Y SCHOLARS. My observation in the Primary Schools has suggested that childron aro considered scholars and admitted as such into our schools at an age too tender to be subjected to the necessary restraint of the school-room. By tho law of this State, children are admissible to our schools at the age of four years.

36 ] CITY OF BANGOR. 35 ' * i i In several western states six years is tlie lowest limit o f scholarship. A little reflection will, I think, convince one that the latter limit is more in accordance with the laws of physical and intellectual development, and with the enlightened spirit o f the age. Progress in school is very greatly dependent on good order and a reasonable degree of quiet, which can only he secured among young children by forced and unnatural restraint. Is it not unwise and cruel to put the ordinary restraint of the common school-room upon the lowest age at which children are admissible to our schools? at an age when nature demands the greatest freedom o f limb and motion, unrestricted exercise of the muscles, and an unvitiated atmosphere? Many years ago a large Primary school in this city enjoyed a high reputation for its remarkable stillness and quiet which astonished visitors. But it -was discovered that this quiet was secured by a restraint which rendered it censurable rather than commendable in the teacher. The little ones, through fear o f penalty, were obliged to sit with their feet curled up under their seats, and did not dare to let them down to touch the floor., As the bodies and limbs of these little ones are too tender for continued restraint, so are their intellects too weak for task; and it seems reasonable that to the age of six, at least, they should be free from physical or mental harness, while nature is laying the foundation on which to build the future structure of a sound body and a sound mind. It is probable that many parents send their little ones to sehool to be taken,care of, rather than with sfche expectation of mental training, thereby mistaking our common schools for public nurseries. As the wants of little children are better understood, parents will undoubtedly avail themselves more generally of the advantages o f the Kinder-Oarten, whose light, cheerful, and healthful recreations, accompanied with music and the pleasant voice o f the governess, will serve as a delightful introduction to the maturer exercises o f the common schoolroom. Says an intelligent writer and educator: Could the child be kept at home, surrounded by proper influences, and in the enjoyment of such provisions as nature demands, until he becomes seven years old, before he is sent to school, what an amount of suffering would he escape, and how much better fitted would he be to end-ure the unnatural confinement of the school-room, to which he must be subjected on entering the school? The truth is, children are sent to school too early in life, confined too closely and too long, oftentimes greatly tc their cost. - The President o f the Board o f Education o f Chicago, says: I fully concur in-the views of several of my predecessors, and of the Stato Superintendent of Public Instruction, favoring a change in the law [to place the limit<of admission at six, instead of five years] for reasons very tersely given by the latter in his report. It is believed that the evils incident to the admission to the public schools of children at the tender age of five years, are, upon the whole, far greater than the benefits that the efficiency of the schools is compromised, and the little ones in questiop. are exposed to serious dangers, mentally, morally and physically. As a compromise between the conflicting claims of parents to send tlicir little ones to school, and the rights of the latter to freedom, our Primary school teachers very generally considerably abridge the school-hours of

37 3 3 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. [ their youngest pupils, a practice which I have approved where it has existed, and advised where it has not, and have counselled the further increase, rather than curtailment, of this favor. This matter is of so much importance that I trust it will lead to such Legislative action as to amend the law, cither making six years the lowest limit of scholarship, or giving towns and cities the piivilege of such a limitation. This restriction would greatly relieve our over-crowded Primary schools, lighten the care and labor of tbo teachers, promote the efficiency of this grade of schools, and prove a merciful boon to the tender age within its kindly scope. In view of the advantages to parents and benefits to children afforded by well conducted Kinder-Gartetis, and the relief they would give to the regular schools,- their establishment at the public expense, and as a part of the school system, has been suggested as worthy of attention. A majority of children would undoubtedly be better cared for and happier in such a place»than at home. A comparatively few now enjoy these privileges, which might wisely be extended to the many ; and, certainly, any arrangement, which, by its pleasant surroundings and recreations, is adapted to make childhood happier and guide aright the initial steps of education, is entitled to most favorable consideration. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM. In this connection it may be pertinent to inquire whether there is not too much required in mere book-learning and study hours in all the grades of schools; whether the school system generally has not too much of the high pressure about it, stimulating and tasking the brain beyond its maturity and the safe limit of physical power, during the period of growth. In the first place the memory is made to carry a prodigious load in the curriculum of study, covering so many years of school-life, and there is too little appeal to the reflective and perceptive faculties where lies the most important and interesting sphere of intellectual development. It is in this direction that the true art of teaching is found, and the teacher must look for distinguished merit. The most inferior teacher can impose tasks upon the memory ; and it needs no argument to prove that a mere mass of facts, or pages committed verbatim to memory, if they are not connected and vitalized by well comprehended principles, are a cumbrous load which will soon fall off, and the sooner the better, after the stimulus of the school-room is removed. The teacher owes it to his high calling and the precious charge committed to his care, that he does not burden, weary, and injure the minds of his pupils by drj- and mechanical tasks of memory, which dwarf the intellect and render it imbecilo, but that by apt address to the higher mental faculties, in whose service the memory should hold a subordinate relation, ho assists in the understanding of principles and the philosoph}' of things, and thus, by interesting his pupils, makes the paths of learning pleasant and cheerful and promotes a healthy and permanent intellectual development. It has been remarked that the Hew England system educates to within an inch of life. This, though a strong expression, is confirmed to a lamentable degreo by observation and the testimony of the medical faculty, and wo are glad to see that the evils of tho system are beginning to claim more and more of the public attention. How many fall out by the way in the

38 ] CITY OF BANGOR. 8 7 routine of our higher schools! Classes which enter our own High School forty strong, rarely graduate more than ten, and this in consequence, to some extent, of a breaking-down under over-work and undue stimulus. A physician informs me that he has now under treatment several- cases directly traceable to the cause I have alluded to. Not caring to explore further, at this time, this unpleasant feature of our school system, I cannot forbear quoting from an article which appeared last summer in The Boston Advertiser, on the occasion o f the Boston annual school-festival. W e applaud these children as they repeat, for the last time, the lessons which for ten months past have been driven home on sensitive memories, for the last time discharge their consciences o f the required formulas, before they are turned loose for the vacation so hardly earned. For those of their brothers and sisters who have been taken from us, by one or other form of brain fever, or undue nervous excitement, brought on by the mechanism of school-life, we are called upon again to drop the expected tear. To those who have succeeded best in that curious training in which memory is assigned the highest place in human functions, silver medals are awarded, and a collation provided by the city. And then masters and scholars will, for six short weeks, forget the slavery of the school-room, and in freer life will do something to make good the physical drain which such an autumn and winter and spring have made upon them. W e speak in this language of the great madness, of our time, because we believe it has so nearly run its course, that there is now some hope of success in calling the public attention to its consequences. In referring to them, we speak first of what the system proposes. W e are well aware, that in practice there are so many exceptions made to the theory on which it works, that the community escapes much of the ruin which the system, pure and simple,would involve. But for this the plan must not claim any credit. The system supposes that the human being from the age of five to fifteen has nothing to do but to acquire by memory the results of the study of the world for some hundred centuries. The system gives no fit place for physical exercise, for personal observation of nature, or for practical experience in the humblest details of human life. Mk * * * * * * * * W e will have girls who can explain to us the binomial theorem : who can tell us how many metaphors there are in the Bugle Song, and how many metacarpal bones they have.. I f they can do this, it is no matter, we say, whether their metacarpal bone? can sustain the weight of a pail of water, or whether they themselves are ever fresh enough or free enough to have written for themselves a Bugle Song. Now this becomes a serious matter, when, as a generation passes, we find that half our young men are exempt from bearing arms by physical weakness, and that half our young women, in what was once the prime of life, are confirmed invalids. It is a serious matter, when for the class which graduates this year at the Normal School, we find there is another class, as large, of those who have dropped out by the way, unable to bear the high pressure of the Grammar schools and of the Normal. Such facts of them selves show that the practice is as disastrous as the system is absurd. The truth has been substantiated in the science of education, that growing children acquire as much in three hours study, as they can acquire in a day. On this truth, any true system must he founded. Beyond this period, the power of acquisition as the English teachers call it, is at an end. If, then, we keep the children in school more than for three hours of study, it is for our convenience, not for their instruction. It may be desirable to assign an hour or more for recitation beyond these three hours; but let it be remembered by all parties, jjiat it is for the convenience of the public, or to satisfy the tax-payer s passion for paying, of to keep the homes of the parents quiet. Let no one pretend that the benefit of the scholar is involved. The true amendment, as we believe, of the folly of the last generation, which has now about run its course, is to be fourni in

39 3 8 REPORT OP THE SUPERINTENDENT OP SCHOOLS. some respect for this central truth in education. Let some spirited man of sense in the School Committee move a reduction of the term of school to four hours a day. He will be met with a howl, as if he proposed to set fire t all the school-houses. But let him grimly persevere, let him lighten up his argument with cheerful instances of dropsy on the brain, of sleepless nights, of early insanity and of the rest which is on the dark side of that medal whose obverse bears Franklin s smile. Let him urge this steadily for a year or two, till some one proposes a compromise on five hours. Let him then begin again with a proposal for three hours daily, and go through the same ordeal till we have oome down to four. Four hours, three for study and one for recitations, with proper recesses, and with no evening lessons, would teach the children all that they learn now, and would give them somo chance to be strong and wise as well, where now we are satisfied if they are learned. The teachers are not to blame. They see with agony, the work of the system. But each of them says that his particular school must keep pace with each other school in the multitude. The School Committee are not to blame, so long as they do but execute the public demand. It is the public which must be taught, that nothing is gained by the high-pressure system, that home-quiet is dearly purchased, when school-confinement drags down the vital power of children, and that the best authorities on education in the world unite in protesting against such confinement and stimulus as are practised in our schools. MISCELLANEOUS. I I have furnished books during the year to one hundred and eighteen indigent pupils, being two less than the year previous, amounting to the sum of Notwithstanding the great advance in the price of books, this.amount is far below that expended in any year for a number of years past,.resulting in part from a fortunate purchase of some of the highest cost books last year at a very low price, and the use to some extent of secondhand books, though in good condition. In nearly every instance the recipientsare either children of widows or of brave soldiers in the war for the Union. The usual Tabular View, showing the details of the schools, their length, attendance, teachers wages, etc., is appended to this report. In closing, Gentlemen, permit me to return my heartfelt thanks for tho confidence you have honored me with during the year, and the pleasant encouragement and co-operation you have afforded me in the discharge of the varied duties of my office.

This work is mostly done by the inmates of the Alms House, and the hauling and delivery by the teams belonging to the Farm. W e would jnost earnestly call your attention to the expediency o f introducing steam into the Alms House, for the purpose of both warming the building, and for culinary purposes. W e think the building might be warmed with less fuel and a greater degree of safety, saving a great number of fires which now have to be used to warm the several rooms. For culinary purposes it can be applied with a good deal of efficiency, and also to the department for washing and drying clothes. W e would also call your attention to the necessity o f building a reservoir near the Alms House, of sufficient capacity to extinguish any fire that might occur at the Alms House, and at the same time furnish all water that might be wanted about the House. During the past season the cisterns about the House have been entirely empty, and but very little water in the pond for the use of the House. Should a fire occur at such a time, much damage would be done to the buildings, besides endangering the lives of the inmates. W e would recommend that early measures be taken for the building of a resevoir on the premises. After a long and severe illness, Mr. Gilman, our former Superintendent, died on the first day of May last, having filled that post for the past twelve years with faithfulness and fidelity. A t his decease, Mr. Samuel Jewett was appointed Superintendent, and his wife Matron of the several departments, the duties of which have been performed by them to the entire satisfaction o f the Board o f Overseers. Doctor T. U. Coe* the City Physician, has at all times cheerfully performed his duties in this department to the satisfaction o f every one. Rev. Mr. Burgess has held religious service at the Alms House durihg the Sabbaths of the past year, and is a visitor there week days, gladdening the hearts of many who seek sympathy and consolation from his teachings. W e would likewise call your attention to the propriety of furnishing means to separate the children from the older inmates in the Alms House, and placing them under the care of a suitable teacher. W e think the Cholera Hospital on the Farm would be a suitable building for that purpose. A ll o f which is respectfully submitted. J. W. H U M PH R E Y, E D W A R D E LLISO U S. B.

50 BBPOBT * \ OF THE, *. i CHIEF ENGINEER OF FIRE DEPARTMENT. To the City Council: C h i e f E n g i n e e r s O f f i c e, \ March 13, f G e n t l e m e n In accordance with my duties as Chief Engineer, I herewith submit a statement of the condition of the Eire Department of this City. Since my last report the Department has consisted, as at that time, of otie Steam Eire Engine, two Hand Engines and one Hook and Ladde Company. The Hand Engines are all in good order. The Steamer will need a thorough overhauling this Spring, and a new set of copper flues put in, in place of the iron ones now used. The Mayor and Committee on Eire Department have contracted with the Portland Company for another engine, Which will be done about the first o f May. The Engine Houses are all in good repair, except Uo. 6 s, which needs new plastering this Spring. Some new arrangement will have to be made after the new Steam Engine arrives. I would suggest for your consideration that a new House be built, suitable for both Steamers and a work shop for repairing the Engines as the one now used is not suitable for the purpose. The basement o f the House could be used for the Hook and Ladder Company. The whole number of fires for the past year, 14 Ealse alarms, 2 Total, 16 Of the above fires, the causes, so far as ascertained, were as follows, viz i Incendiarism, ' " 2 Defect in Chimney, 3 Sparks on Roof, 2 Unknown, 4 7

51 5 0 REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER. [ Accidental, Children Playing with Matches, Total, 14 By referring to the list of fires it will he seen that the losses have been much smaller than last year, which may be attributed, in a great measure, to the prompt and efficient manner in which the firemen have done their duties. In the said Schedule will be seen the losses by fires, and the insurance on the same, as near as could be ascertained. Losses, $9, ' Insured, 8, _ $1, There has been built this year, a first class brick and cement Rservoir in Pickering Square. Capacity, 40,000 ; arched top, with two openings; cost, $1, The different Reservoirs are all full and in good repair, except the one on the corner of Adams and York Streets, which will not hold water only one-third full. An order was passed for the building of a Powder House on the City Parm, but, on account of the high price of materials, I thought it expedient to defer the building until another year. Our Firemen were called upon by the citizens of Brewer, July 14th, to render them aid in extinguishing a large fire in the ship yard of Mr. Tewksbury, which, at one time, threatened the destruction of the village. After *consulting with the Mayor, I dispatched Engine Ho. 6, and the Steamer to their rescue. After about four hours of hard work, they were enabled to conquer the fire. The property in the yard was mostly owned by citizens of Bangor. The citizens of Brewer, at their town meeting, voted one hundred and fifty dollars to the Firemen. After consulting with the Mayor and Committee on Fire Department, it was concluded to pay into the Treasury fifty dollars for the expenses, and the rest to be divided among the Firemen, which has been done. The amount of appropriation was, $G, Expenditures, 6, Overdrawn, $ From which is to be deducted $ for the sale of old Engine Ho. 6 and hose, and the $50 from the town of Brewer, leaving the amount overdrawn $6 18 In closing, I wish to express the deep sense of obligation I feel towards the Assistant Engineers, and all the members of the Fire Department, for their cheerful co-operation in the management of the affairs of the Department during the past year. A spirit ot union and harmony has pervaded all their actions, and their faithful labors deserve the approval of the public. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. W. W IL L IA M S,. Chief Engineer.

56 \ REPORT OF THE * C O M M IS SIO N E R OF STR EETS, To the City Council: The Commissioner of Streets would respectfully submit the following Beport, which, with the accompanying Schedules, show the Beceipts and Expenditures in his Department from March 1st, 1864, to March 1st, 1865'. The amount appropriated was, $20, The amount received, as per Schedule A, The amount overdrawn,, The amount expended, $21, The advance in labor, lumber, hay, grain, and all materials necessary to carry on this Department, rendered it impossible to keep within the appropriation. There has been an unusual amount of snow the past winter, which has added materially to the Expenditures. The streets are in a much better condition than they were a year since. There is a stone culvert needed near Dennet s, on the Kenduskeag Boad, and one on^the Smith Boad, near the Six Mile Falls Boad, The appropriation the present season should, in my opinion, be as large as last season, There was a part of the sewer on State Street made last year, and I should recommend making the remainder the present season.

64 I r I R, I E IE 3 O I R, T * \ OF THE. CITY S O L I C I T O R., \ To the City Cotmcil: The undersigned respectfully submits the Annual Report of the City S«>- licitor. At the commencement of this municipal year there were upon the docket of the Supreme Judicial Court for this County, seven against, and one in favor of the City, and three against the Pound keeper, viz: 1. Samuel Yeazie vs. Bangor. 2. ' Moses Savary and other vs. same. 3. Henry Q. Norton vs. same. 4. Isaac M. Bragg vs. same. 5. Henry B. Farnham vs. same. 6. Calvin G-. W eld vs. same. 7. Samuel Keliher vs. same. * i 8. City of Bangor vs. Asa P. Lansil. 9. Patrick Moran vs. Daniel M. Bickmore. 10. W entw orth-lord vs. same. 11. Cyrus Hews vs. same. The early history of the case Yeazie vs. Bangor has been written This action was tried the second time at the October term of the Court in 1862 and resulted in a verdict for the Plaintiff for $3, It was so apparent to F. A. W ilson Esq., then City Solicitor that the rulings of the Judge presiding, as well as the verdict was erroneous; he filed exceptions to the rulings, and a motion for a new trial The exceptions and the motion were argued by my predecessor at the law term of said1court in May, 1863 the Court sustained the exceptions on the ground that the Plaintiff had not alledged in his writ nor proved at the trial a performance o f his contract.

65 G4 REPORT OP THE CITY SOLICITOR. [ The action came up again for trial at the January term of said Cour$ in 1865 Counsel for defendant moved for a non-suit on the ground that Plaintiffs writ did not alledge a performance of his contract Plaintiffs counsel thereupon moved for leave to amend his_writ. Court granted the motion upon the terms, that Plaintiff in the event he should recover anything, should recover no cost up to that term. 'Which cost amounted to about $1000. Plaintiff amended his writ upon those terms, and proceeded to trial; after he had closed his evidence, counsel for defendant again moved for a nonsuit on the ground that Plaintiff had not proved such a performance of his contract as would entitle him to recover a verdict. The Judge presiding sustained the motion and ordered a nonsuit and the Plaintiff filed the exceptions. The case will come up for argument on these exceptions at the Law Term of said Court, in May next. i I would recommend that James S. Rowe, Esq., who has been associated with the City- Solicitor in the last two trials, be still retained in the case till its final termination, which I trust will be when a decision of the Court is had upon these exceptions. 2. InSavery vs. Bangor, I refer you to the last annual Report of my predecessor, who is counsel in the case for the Plaintiffs. I have endeavored to have the action disposed of during the year, but have not been able. The prospect is that it will be disposed of amicably without trial. 3. In Horton vs. Bangor, after consulting with my predecessor, who tried the case and filed the exceptions and motions, I withdrew them, and judgment was entered on the verdict. 4. The case, Bragg vs. Bangar, was submitted to the Court upon a report of the case, and the Court decided that the action could not be maintained, and judgment has been given for the defendant, for costs amounting to $40 44, which I collected and paid over to the City Treasurer. 5. In Earnham vs. Bangor, the exceptions filed by the Plaintiff and Defendant -were overruled, and judgment entered for the Plaintiff, for the $12 and quarter cost, as lvas allowed by the Judge who tried the action. In this decision, nothing was allowed the Plaintiff for counsel fees in defense of the suit, Wall vs. Farnham, for the reason that it was the duty of the City Solicitor to have defended that suit, and that the several Heads of the Departments of the City have no power to make contracts binding upon the City, without direct authority from the City Council. 6. Weld vs. Bangor has been settled by the City paying $125, in full, for damages and costs. 7. Keliher vs. Bangor has been settled by the City paying $60, in full, for debt and costs. 8. In Bangor vs. Lansil, the exceptions by the defendant were sustained by the Court, on the ground that the action could not be sustained under the Statute upon which it was brought, and a nonsuit has been entered. 9. Moran vs. Bickmore was an impounding case. The Plaintiff could not maintain his action, and a nonsuit has been entered. 10. Lord vs. Bickmore was a similar action, and has been disposed of in the same way.

66 1865.] CITY OF BANGOR Hews vs. Bickmore was a similar case, and was settled by the Plaintiff and the Impounder. The Plaintiff paid the cost of impounding. 12. The case in the Police Court was Walter Dennis vs. Bickmore, and was an impounding case; I tried the same, and judgment was for the Defendant. During the year two actions have been commenced in the Supreme Court in which the City is interested, viz : 1. Moses Emerson and others vs. Bangor;, 2. W entworth D; Lord vs. John Martin. The action Emerson vs, Bangor, grows out of a purchase of some horses by Mr. Durgin, the street commissionei'j in the early part of the year 1863, of the Plaintiffs, who reside in Boston. At that time Mr. Durgin bought of the Plaintiffs two horses which they warranted to be kind and sound, and agreed if they were not satisfactory to said Durgin, he might return them and they would give him other like good horses in lieu of them. Durgin received the horses on those conditions and tried them; but they did not prove kind and sound npr satisfactory to-him,and he returned them and received other two horses in lieu o f them. Eor those other two horses the Plaintiffs have charged the city, ' $750 Expense of sick horse, 36 Amount, 786 And have credited the city the two returned, 350 Thus claiming a balance of 436 By an agreement between the counsel for the Plaintiffs and said Durgin this action has been referred; I see no ground upon which the action can be maintained, for two reasons. First, the terms of the contract are such that the Plaintiffs are not entitled to recover. Second, it cannot be maintained for the reason that said Durgin had no direct authority from the City Council to make any contract for the purchase or the exchange o f said horses. 2. Lord vs. Martin is an impounding case and has been referred to Court. There will not probably be any liability on the part of the city in this action, for two reasons. First, the proceeding of impounding appears to have been legal.. Second, the defendant is responsible and ha3 assumed the defense of the action. During the year nine actions have been finally disposed of, leaving only four now upon the-docket, v iz : 1. Yeazie vs Bangor. 2. Savary vs. same. 3. Emerson vs. same. 4. Lorcl vs. Martin. My aim has been to carefully investigate all claims against the City and to have adjusted and settled all that are legal, without litigation.. A number of claims have been presented during the year, and they have all been settled without suit. A ll of which is respectfully submitted. March, A. L. SIM PSO N, City Solicitor. 9

67 REPOBT OS THE C11 PHYSICIAN. To the City Council: The City Physician submits the following report: He has visited, in his official capacity, during the past municipal year, one hundred and eighty two individuals. Ho has also prescribed at his office for a considerable number of patients not included in the above estimate. The noteworthy cases of disease have been as follows: Acute Meningitis, 1 Cholera Morbus, 3 Epilepsy, 1 Diarrhoea, 10 Delirium Tremens, 5 Dysentery, 3 Palsy, 3 Hepatitis, 2 Neuralgia, 2 Nephralgia Calculosa, 2 Cardiac Disease, 5 Otitis, 2 Intermittent Fever,. 1 Otorrhoeea, 3 Typhoid Fever, 3 Conjunctivitis, 3 Diphtheria, 2 Scrofulous Ophthalmia, 3 Roseola, 6 Purulent Ophthalmia, 1 Rubeola, 20 Blennorrhoea, 3 Scarlatina, 6 Orchitis, 1 Varicella, 3 Hydrocele, 1 Variola, 4 Abscess, 5 n Erysipelas, O Chronic Ulcer, 6 Acute Rheumatism, 3 Senile Gangrene, 1 Chronic Rheumatism, 10 Spinal Tuberculosis, 3 Syphilis, 3 Necrosis of Femur, 1 W hooping cough, 2 Fracture of Radius, 1 Laryngitis, 1 Sprains, 3

It has been necessary to make one hundred and seventy-six visits at the Alms House, twenty-six at the Pest House and two hundred and fifty at private dwellings. There have been two births at the Alms House, of male children. Nine inmates have died. One died of Disease of the Brain; two of Disease of the Heart; three, of Disease of the Lungs; one of Rheumatic Fever; one of Gangrene; one, of Disease of the Spine. The schools were visited in the early part of the year and four hundred and thirty children were vaccinated. The City has escaped, throughout the year, the visitation o f any dangerous epidemic and its sanitary condition has been as favorable as could be desired. The sanitary condition of the Alms House and the associated institutions has been good, and the conveniences afforded for the suitable care of the inmates have proved, in most respects, sufficient. A necessity for some im provement in the mode o f warming and ventilating the building is, however, suggested, since it is now difficult, if not impossible, to secure for the rooms occupied by the sick a suitable temperature and pure air at the same time. The management by the Superintendent, through the year, has been such as to accomplish, certainly as nearly as practicable with the means at command, the objects for which the institution was established.
