Report of the School Committee
OF THE
TOWN OF HATFIELD.
1861-62.
THE Board of School Committee was organized April 15, 1861, by the choice of E. L. Hastings, Chairman ; Edwin Graves, Secretary.
In accordance with the law of this Commonwealth, we submit the following report.
No. 1, HILL DISTRICT .- Summer Term .- This school was kept by a person who claimed to have had considerable expe- rience in teaching. She readily gained the good will of her scholars, and as they were all young, she had fair success. The examination passed off tolerably well.
Winter Term-Upper Department .- This school was under the care of the same teacher. With less than half the num- ber of scholars in the summer school, and many of them more advanced. Your Committee think that not as much pro- gress was made as should have been, or as the District had reason to expect. True, the scholars went over ground enough, but there was not that thoroughness, either of instruction or discipline, that marks the successful teacher.
2
Lower Department .- This school was taught by one who has been very successful in teaching the younger scholars, and as usual, her school made good progress.
No. 2, SOUTH CENTER .- The Summer term was under the care of a person who enjoys the reputation of being a thor- ough teacher; and the visits of the Committee, and the examination of the school, fully sustained that reputation.
The Winter term opened with a new teacher. The number of scholars was not large. The examination passed off very well, though the scholars seemed to have been specially prepared.
NORTH CENTER .- This school has been under the charge of the same teacher for the last two years. She, in discipline, mild but firm, with the love of the pupils and the respect of their parents, made this school one of the best.
CENTER .- Winter term .- This school was taught by the same gentleman that had the charge of it one year ago. He gave good satisfaction then, and he has again proved himself a most thorough and successful teacher.
No. 3, WEST FARMS .- The Summer term was taught by a resident of the district and a graduate of the Normal school. She succeeded in infusing her own energy into the minds of her pupils, and we think that we express the minds of all who visited the school, by saying that it was a success.
Winter Term-Lower Department .- This school opened under favorable prospects with a new teacher, but by the time the school was fairly started, sickness and death in her father's family interrupted the school for a few days and the continued illness of another member of the family caused constant anxiety. But notwithstanding this, the examination showed that good progress had been made.
The Upper Department was under the charge of a graduate of Amherst College, and one who has the reputation of being a thorough scholar. We believe he gave good satisfaction ;
3
but as he closed his school suddenly and without an examina- tion, we have no means of comparing the progress of this with the school of the previous year.
No. 4, WEST BROOK .- The Summer term was taught by the teacher of the previous Winter term. Her success was fair, but the examination proved that the pupils had not been as thoroughly drilled as was desirable.
For the Winter term, the district secured a Normal teacher of some experience. Perfectly at home in the school-room, she has secured the affections of her pupils, and we think that this school has made good progress in all its studies.
No. 5, PANTRY .- Summer term .- This school, under the care of a former teacher, opened in the old, small and incon- venient school-room, but toward the close of the term removed into the new house. Good discipline and thorough instruction were marked features of this school, and it appear- ed well at all times when visited by the Committee.
The Winter term opened with a new and experienced teacher, and by far the largest school in town. Under good discipline and thorough instruction, this school has made as good progress in the various studies as other schools with half the number of scholars.
In conclusion, although retrenchment seems to be a neces- sary virtue at the present time, we trust that the voters of this town will see that the cause of education does not suffer by neglecting to provide for its support. And we recommend that the same amount as last year be raised for the year to come.

ANNUAL REPORTS
OF THE
SELECTMEN
AND
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF HATFIELD,
For the Year ending March 20, 1863.
NORTHAMPTON: TRUMBULL & GERE, .... PRINTERS. 1863.
REPORT.
Ir becomes our duty at the close of another financial year, to re- port the transactions of the town for the past year.
The war for the suppression of the rebellion has been continued through the year; and it is well to review the past, and record the part which the town has taken to sustain the government. From the commencement of the war to the present time, our town has been earnest in the cause of the Union, and has nobly responded to the calls of the government for volunteers, and our citizens have come forward, to do their whole duty to their country in the existing cri- sis, and have enlisted to the number of eighty-one in the military service of the country. We will not attempt to find words, to ex- press the praise that is due to those who have left their homes and friends, to expose themselves to the dangers of the battle-field, and to the hardships of the camp. Those who have died from wounds re- ceived in battle, or from sickness, will long be remembered ; and their good name, and brave deeds, will be their best eulogy.
At the commencement of the year it was supposed that the rebell- ion would soon be subdued, and that there would not be any neces- sity for a further call for soldiers; but subsequent events proved that the strength, and resources of the rebellious states had been underrated. Early in July, the President of the United States issued an order, calling for three hundred thousand volunteers, to serve three years, or during the war. The proportion assigned to Massa- chusetts was fifteen thousand men. On the 7th of July an order was issued by the Governor of the Commonwealth, giving the proportion of each city and town, based upon the men enrolled in the state lia- ble to do military duty, as shown by the annual returns made by the assessors.
On the eighteenth day of July, a town meeting was called, to con- sider the subject of raising volunteers, and the expediency of offer- ing a bounty to those who should enlist from the town. At a very full meeting it was voted that the committee chosen May 6, 1861, consisting of Moses Morton, George Wait, Elijah Bardwell,
4
Erastus Cowles, J. D. Billings, George W. Hubbard and Wm. H. Dickinson, be authorized to borrow a sufficient sum of money to pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to each of those who should enlist to make out the town's proportion, (sixteen men.) An enlistment roll was presented, and sixteen of our citizens came forward and sub- scribed their names to the roll before the close of the meeting.
On the 4th of August, a call was made by the President for three hundred thousand additional men to serve for nine months, who were to be drafted in accordance with orders from the war depart- ment, and the laws of the several states. The number of men which Massachusetts was called upon to furnish, was nineteen thousand and eighty. By an additional order from the war department, the several cities and towns were to have an allowance for all volunteers previously furnished, and mustered into service, whose stipulated term of service should not have expired. A new enrollment of the militia was ordered, and drafting commissioners were appointed to revise the rolls. After a hearing upon applications for exemptions, and the rolls revised, the apportionment was made of the whole quota re- quired of each town from the commencement of the war, and credits were given for those who had been previously mustered into the ser- vice. In this town the subject of exemptions being unpopular, those who were really unfit for military duty were left on the militia roll, while in many towns, more attention was given to the business, and certificates of exemption were procured, thus increasing our quota to twenty-four men, in addition to those already in the service, which was supposed to be more than our proportion.
At a meeting of the town held on the 25th of August, the same bounty was offered as on the previous call, and the same committee authorized to borrow money, and pay the bounties. Our quota was promptly filled by the young men of the town, thus obviating the necessity of a draft, and sustaining the reputation of the town for being one of the first to fill its quota.
Another draft was ordered on the 17th of Nov. to make up a defi- ciency of two thousand men in the state. A final revision of the militia roll was ordered previous to the apportionment of the quotas, and further efforts were made to have our roll corrected, thus making our whole quota seventy-four (seven less than the town had fur- nished.)
At the last annual meeting the treasurer was authorized to borrow such sums of money as might be necessary to pay the state aid granted to families of volunteers. In conformity with said vote the treasurer has borrowed two thousand dollars, and such aid has been paid to twenty-three families during the year. The whole amount disbursed is eighteen hundred thirty-six dollars and twenty cents, which includes the sums due at the commencement of the year. Twenty-one families are now receiving aid at an expense of about one hundred and ninety dollars a month. The sums paid to families of volunteers will be reimbursed by the state. The notes given by
5
the war committee, for bounties and other expenses, previous to the 18th of July, have been paid. There is still due forty-one hundred dollars, and interest, for which the committee have given their notes. An act to legalize the doings of towns in aid of the war, has passed both branches of the Legislature, and was approved by the governor Feb. 27, 1863.
In consequence of the great freshet in the spring of the year, the Highways and Bridges were left in a very bad condition, and it re- quired a large expenditure to render them safe for public travel. The culvert at Dewey's Hole was entirely washed away, and we thought that it would be good economy for the town, to have it rebuilt in a more durable manner. Proposals were received for building the cul- vert and grading the road, and the contract was given to Robert R. Mayers, for two hundred and fifty dollars. Hill Bridge was consider- ably injured by the freshet, and one of the abutments was under- mined, so as to make it necessary to relay a part of it. The timbers of the old bridge were in such a decayed condition, that it was thought unsafe for the public travel, and a new bridge was built as soon as possible, so as not to obstruct the travel longer than neces- sary. Brook Hollow Bridge fell while a team was crossing, but for- tunately no one was very much injured. The other bridges of the town were repaired under the direction of the highway surveyors, without any additional expense to the town, except for timber and plank. The damage to the highway at the south end of Main street was repaired under the superintendence of the surveyor, O. Shum- way, at a cost of eighty-four dollars and thirty-six cents, above what was expended from his tax bill.
The expenditures for paupers have been some less than they were last year Calvin Morton died on the 25th of May. By the death of Silas Bardwell, his contract with the town for the support of Oli- ver Bardwell for seventy-five dollars per year, terminated. Conse- quently we have paid the bill of one hundred dollars, to the Insane Asylum at Brattleboro, but the town will eventually receive about seventy-five dollars from the estate of Mr. Bardwell. There will be due on the 1st of April, a bill for the support of Sarah Morton, which will be paid by her guardian, G. W. Hubbard. There will be a bill from Dr. Harwood for attendance on Calvin Morton, and also one for wood for District No. 1; besides these there will be a bill for printing this Report, and also the selectmen's bills for servi- ces, which will be presented to the town at the annual meeting. All the other bills against the town, that have come to our knowledge have been paid.
