to many coal and lumber yards. The several legislative acts were approved as follows: That relating to the Washington Street district in 1869, to the Franklin and Sparks Streets district in 1872, and to the Miller River district in 1873. Under the provisions of these acts much land was surrendered to the city by the owners, and was later sold at about thirty per cent of its cost. In addition to the freight facilities afforded by the navigable river, the Boston and Albany and Boston and Maine railroads, in the easterly section, where are located the greater number of our large manufactories, and the Fitchburg railroad, in the westerly part, provide ample accommodation; yet it is hoped ere long that a central local freight station will be furnished by the former road, to add to the convenience of a rapidly increasing traffic. There has been much discussion as to whether the removal of this branch of the Boston and Albany would not on the whole result to the advantage of the city,

The degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science is conferred upon graduates.

From the inception of the school the number of its students has steadily grown, until in 1895 five hundred and seventy-five were registered.

Every year the writer of these lines has made a report to the corporation. In the report for the fourth year the following words were used:— Too great stress can hardly be laid upon the value of the highest education for women in a land where the majority of the teachers in all the schools from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to Texas are women. In our own State, eighty-seven per cent. of the teachers (according to the latest report of the Secretary of the Board of Education) are women. . . . It does not take a very careful study of the colleges of New England, less than a score, to show that the ratio between the number which in a direct way give assistance to those women who aim to qualify themselves for high educational positions and those which do not, is quite the reverse of that existing be-between the num
