Fay Montague has lost but one day during the year, and has had no tardy mark. Edward Montague, Henry and Mabel Bridgman have not had a tardy mark.
A coat of paint is very much needed on this schoolhouse and there will also be several repairs that will have to be made another year.
But one person in this district has visited the school dur- ing the year, and you can hardly expect a teacher to take as
27
much interest in the school if you do not, as she otherwise would.

Although this schoolhouse is nearly a mile from any of the families in this district, some member of each family has visited the school during the year, and in several cases both of the parents have visited the school during the year, and over forty names of visitors are recorded.

There has been no damage done to this schoolhouse the past year by parties outside the school, which is something very uncommon, as we usually have several window lights to put in and in several instances the whole sash has been broken out.

REPORT
OF THE
Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee: Gentlemen :-
I respectfully submit the annual report of the Superin- tendent of Schools for the past school year.
At the opening of the schools in September there were several changes in the list of teachers. The new teachers are : Miss Ella B Townsend at the Hill school, Miss Ethel E. Jordan at the South school, and Miss Edith E Grant at the Northeast school.
The work of the schools in general has been good. It is always true that the better the attendance, the better work the teacher can do In most cases the number of children in each class is small, and if one or two are absent, it really de- lays the progress of the whole class. When the children that have been absent return, it is necessary to go over the
32
same ground again. It frequently happens when tests are given that one or two members of a class cannot do the work, and the teacher explains that the children have been absent. Of course absences are many times unavoidable be- cause of sickness, but at other times parents can help the work of the school by seeing that the children are present when it is possible.
LOUDVILLE
According to agreement the school in Loudville is under the control of the Westhampton school committee, and the annual expense of maintaining the school is divided among the towns of Northampton, Easthampton, and Westhamp- ton in proportion to the number of days of attendance by the pupils of the three towns. The following report shows the number of days of attendance from each town, and each town's share of the expense of maintaining the school.
