Now, if Hatfield had one eight-room building, these 35 classes could be reduced to eight classes, (viz: one class for
,
57
each of the eight grades, as in graded schools). The children of Hatfield could enjoy school privileges unexcelled by those of any city in the United States. 2 1
An eight-room building might be situated in the center, (where 4-7 of the pupils already attend,) to which the pupils from North Hatfield and West Hatfield could come in electric cars. This would leave only 23 pupils in West Brook, and these might be transported. Nor is this so large an under- taking as it might appear on first thought, since the sale of the old school buildings would partly pay the cost of the new building. The item of repairs (which is $740 for the past year) would be an insignificant outlay on the building pro- posed, and cost of fuel would be largely reduced. But the gains would be in increased schooling facilities to the children, chiefly in grading and discipline, wholesome and moral sani- tary privileges, comfortable quarters and modern equipment of building, which would induce more regular attendance under ideal conditions.
TRAINING OF TEACHERS.
The State Board of Education is persistently urging the employ of Normal trained teachers, and the indications are that legislation will soon require examinations for State cer- tification of teachers. Many of our successful teachers attend the summer Institutes, and Superintendents and Committees are coming to recognize the value of these institutions in the training of teachers.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
During the fall teachers have attended three local meet- ings. The schools were closed on one day to enable the
8
58
teachers to attend an Institute, held in South Deerfield, under the auspices of State Agents G. T. Fletcher and Henry T. Bailey ; and on another day to attend the Hampshire County Teachers' Convention, held in Easthampton.
ADMISSION TO GRADE I.
Pupils should be admitted to Grade I. only at the begin- ning of the fall term, as the formation of new classes during the year is a hindrance to the progress of classes already formed.
CONCLUSION.
The whole work of the Superintendent in connection with the schools of Hatfield has been pleasant, chiefly owing to the professional spirit and unfailing courtesy of a pains- taking and efficient corps of teachers, including the super- visors of music and drawing, whose services have been ren- dered with consideration for the best interest of the pupils and teachers under their supervision.
Thanking the Committee for encouragement and support in my efforts to perform the duties of the office, I remain,
Respectfully, WILLIAM A. REED,
Superintendent of Schools.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
To the Citizens of Hatfield:
In accordance with the requirements of the Public Statutes of Massachusetts the following report for the year ending March 1, 1902, is respectfully submitted for your con- sideration.
We have six persons in the Insane Hospital that we are caring for at an expense of $3.25 per week. There is but one other Town or City in the State that has as many insane in proportion to number of inhabitants as we have. There must be something in the climate of Hatfield that is congenial to insanity. We have one woman at the Home for Aged Invalid Women in Northampton, expense $3 per week, and two at the Northampton Almshouse at $2.50 per week each. We have a small piece of State Road building in our town, and have made application for extending it still farther on the same line, this year, and are in hopes it will be granted us. We have also signed a franchise for the Greenfield, Deerfield and Northampton Street Railway Company for a road through our street from the Whately line to the Ferry road.
Have petitioned the County Commissioners for layout of a new road from Kellogg's Hill north and west across brook to present road leading to North Hatfield, said road to be built with Street Railway Company at an expense of $3,000 to the Town.
