Auditor's Report.
The books of the Selectmen, Clerk, Collector, Water Commissioners, and Overseers of Poor are neatly and correctly kept.
The Auditor has thoroughly examined the cash account of the Treas- urer and certifies that every dollar paid out during the past year is properly vouched, and all money received placed to the town's credit, except one item of $3.84, about which there is a difference of opinion between the Treasurer and Auditor. Nevertheless, the manner in which the books have been kept during some years past is not wholly satisfactory.
No more satisfactory trial balance can be obtained on the face of the accounts than the following :

Due from Collector,
7,602 52
Overdrawn, .
20 06
Deficit,
1,075 56
-$13,782 35
The deficit may be explained in one of two ways : either there is more money in the treasury than appears from the account, or there is more money charged to the Contingent Fund than belongs to it.
It is believed that the last is the true explanation. One may see by a cursory examination of the accounts of the past year that the Contingent
4
69
Fund has not been credited with the full amounts transferred from it to other accounts, thus leaving a balance too large, tho' not by enough to answer the deficit as indicated by the trial balance. Doubtless errors of this kind have been brought down on the books from years past until the present unsatisfactory condition has been attained.
The Auditor recommends that the Treasurer's books be thorough- ly examined and the balances corrected, if necessary by vote of the town.
The Auditor further recommends that the books be hereafter kept by the system of double entry.
It appears that the Superintendents of Cemeteries do not turn into the treasury funds received from sale of lots, grass, etc., but expend the same at discretion. This is wholly irregular. These funds are specially guarded by law. See P. S. ch. 82, Sec. 15.
The books of the Superintendent of the North and Centre cemeteries are in a deplorable condition. It appears that while there is a plan of the Centre cemetery, the lots are not numbered on the plan and the num- bers on the lots in the cemetery are fast disappearing. No record of burials is kept nor is there a full record of deeds granted, so that it has come to this, the Superintendent dares not sell a lot, not knowing that it has not already been conveyed by one of his predecessors.
This matter demands immediate attention.
The bonds of the various town officers are duly executed, approved, and in the proper custody.
Centre
Of the town's buildings all are insured except the High School build- ing and the Primary school-houses. The Auditor recommends that the High School building be insured.
By an oversight on the part of the Library Committee the funds aris- ing from the sale of catalogues and collection of fines were not turned into the treasury until after the close of the financial year.

School Report.
With one exception there has been no change in the personal of the school force, or the method of school work.
Miss Florence Wilson of the Centre Primary having resigned, Miss Emma D. Draper was appointed to fill the vacancy.
The pursuance of old ways by teachers of long experience, who were thoroughly conscientious in their work, has brought forth its fruit in a successful school year. While the committee feel that just praise is due to all who have contributed to this success, they would still use every stimulating influence possible to further success.
There is a prevalent tendency in every community for people to com- plain at the work done by others, be it ever so conscienciously done, and though they may reap largely of the fruit of this work, nothing suits them. They have opinions as to how work should be done, and nothing is right that does not come up to their idea of excellence. If they could have their schemes tried, could see their ideas which seem so promising, materialized, it may be doubted whether they would be satisfied with even the creation of their own brains. Many times these complaints are made in the greatest ignorance of what is being done. There is no ex- cuse for this. The schools are always open to inspection, and if instead of finding fault, they would visit the schools and see what is being done, they would no doubt discover that the schools are doing as well, turning out as good scholars as would their nondescript schemes.
It is not infrequently the case that the boys, for some reason which seems sufficient to them, absent themselves from school without cause.
74
If this habit becomes in the least degree prevalent, it fosters a spirit of lawlessness that affects the whole school. Parents should not condone this offence in their children when it is discovered, but do their utmost to check it, as well for the good of their children, as for the good of the school. There is on the part of many parents a lamentable carelessness about the intellectual growth of their children. It may be that in early life they were themselves denied the advantages of an education, and because they got on somehow, they come to the conclusion that their children do not need much education. Parents ought to remember that their children are living in an age when intellectual power stands for the greatest success of the individual. The uneducated person is placed at a disadvantage. The person with the greatest intellectual training, other things being equal, will be most successful in the struggle for place and power. Besides this, the ignorant person, or the person with a meagre education, will be at the mercy of designing aspirants for power. The children should be kept at school if possible and none but the most urgent reasons should influence parents to withdraw them from school.

Selectmen's Report.
The guide boards throughout the town are in their proper places and are in good condition. We have caused "Private Way " signs to be placed wherever necessary.
During the past year the "Incidental " money has been drawn upon heavily. We have given consent to an overdraft of fifty ( 50) dollars on the appropriation for fire alarm. The committee who had the matter in charge found that this amount was necessary to complete the work in a thorough and satisfactory manner, and we think that the efficient and trustworthy system that we now have jus- tifies the additional expense.
