SELECTMEN'S REPORT
As all of the business relating to schools has been conducted wholly by the school committee, and the town has voted that the school report shall be presented with the selectmen and treasurer's report. It was not deemed necessary or advisable for the selectmen to report upon the same. Therefore it was agreed by the selectmen and superintendent of schools that the school committee should make a report that should cover all matters relating to schools, including the financial. There- fore that matter is left wholly with them.

ANNUAL REPORT.
In compliance with the desire expressed by vote at the annual town meeting held last March, the School Committee herewith submit their report in conjunction with the Selectmen and Treasurer.
Given at this time, the report cannot cover the whole school year of 1889-90. But it is given as far as it can be conveniently.
Since the Selectmen have decided to omit the report on "Schools" and "Miscellaneous Orders for Schools," usually found on the first few pages of their report and leave it to the School Committee to report those items it is deemed best to give them in the same way, essentially, in which they have formerly appeared that they may the more easily be understood.
The following financial statement for schools (including the three items of Teachers' Wages, Janitors' Wages and Fuel) covers the time includ- ed between Dec. 1, 1888 and Dec. 1, 1889, while the statement for Incidentals covers the time from Feb. 1, 1889, to Feb. 1, 1890.

ANNUAL REPORT.
At the beginning of the year the School Committee ap- pointed a committee on repairs for each school-house ; and school-house supplies were received by the Supt. from G. B. Walker as follows .-
3 dust-brushes, 6 brooms, 5 dust-pans, 1 tin dipper, 6 wash- basins, 2.water-pails, (second hand), 1 zinc dipper, 2 mop-han- dles, (second hand), and numerous hinges, latches, hooks, win- dow fasteners, etc.
A part of these were delivered to the schools during the year and the rest are in the hands of the Superintendent.
While our schools this year have been consid- erably broken by an unavoidable changing of teachers, and especially during the present term by "La Grippe" and other sicknesses, yet, comparing them with the schools in surrounding towns there is no question but that they have maintained an ef- ficiency which is very creditable to the faithfulness and excellence of the teachers, as a whole, who have been employed. In our School Report for 1880-81, Mr. Geo. A. Shove expresses a truth which is too often lost sight of. It is this, the ideally per- fect school is easy to imagine, but very difficult to practically realize. Still the committee are aiming at the best results.
