Incidental expenses,
$109 08
Your Commissioners have attempted, as far as possible, to keep within the limits of the appropriations. The two unexpended balances of $107.51 about pays the incidental expenses of $109.08.
The cost of Roel Street, owing to the excessive hard- ness of the ledge in the line of the road, and the necessity of relaying the bridge across it, has exceeded the esti- mate and appropriation by the sum of $160.39.
The expenses connected with the Allen road, however, exceed the estimate and appropriation by the sum of $929.53. Had no appeal been taken from the award of the Commissioners, the cost of the road would have been
36
less than the appropriation, and the whole work of the year would have been accomplished with over-running the appropriation only about a hundred dollars. The whole history of the inception, trial, and award in that case is well known, and hence it is unnecessary here to make any comments on the matter.
New houses have gone up on and near the road since its construction, and more are known to be projected and under contract. It is safe to say that soon every availa- ble lot in the vicinity will be taken up, and occupied by dwellings.
The sum of $500.00 was appropriated for a concrete walk to the railroad depot; but as no satisfactory ar- rangement could-be made as to the right-of-way, nothing has been done, and the money remains in the Treasury.
For the ensuing year your Commissioners recommend that the sum of $2,500.00 be appropriated for repairs of roads ; and believing that it will be a matter of economy, ask for an appropriation of $500.00 for paving the street- gutters on various descending grades in town.
The reports from year to year indicate, that there is a large outlay for gravel for the roads. We think it would be economical for the Town to authorize the purchase of small lots of land or gravel-banks to furnish material for the roads, and recommend that some action be taken looking to that end.
Upon the petition of James A. Tower and others, and in pursuance of a recommendation of the Town, we have filed in the Town Clerk's office, for the action of the Town thereon at its annual meeting, a report of a widen- ing of Warren Street from the west side of the O. C. railroad to West Street.
We estimate the cost of the widening, -for land, at
37
$400.00 ; and for the proper construction of the road and sidewalks, at $1,200.00.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The annexed Financial Schedule furnishes all the in- formation needed in regard to the receipts and expendi- tures for the current municipal year. The State tax assessed on the Bank Stock collected in 1872-73, it will be observed, has been refunded. The Trustees are obliged to ask the Town for an appropriation of five hundred dol- lars ($500) to enable them to meet the necessary school expenses for the ensuing year. They are also obliged to ask for an additional appropriation of two hundred dollars
39
($200) to enable them to make such repairs, principally upon the roof of the Hall, as seem absolutely necessary and cannot longer be delayed without great and increasing injury to the building.
The school-year of 1873 and 1874 commenced March 31, 1873, and ended March 20, 1874.

The school has been under the management of the same Instructors as at the close of the last year ; and the pupils have made commendable progress in the various branches taught.
The deportment of the school is excellent, and is noted by the Trustees with great pleasure. "Order is Heaven's first law."
The wisdom of having a Female Assistant in the school has been demonstrated during the year, and it is regarded as of the utmost importance to retain her services.
A system of monthly written examinations has been initiated during the year, and has greatly increased the efficiency of the school, though at the same time adding very much to the labor of the teachers. So long as this system is pursued (and in the judgment of the Trustees it should be one of the last to be abandoned), it affords an additional reason for the employment of two teachers.
Public examinations of the school at the close of the year have been dispensed with. As conducted heretofore, in this and other schools, they have been tedious and un-
.
40
profitable, and have afforded little or no indication of the real proficiency of pupils, or efficiency of teachers. The monthly written examinations, it is believed, afford a much more profitable exercise for the school, and fully compen- sate for the omission of the publie examination. The doors of the Stetson school-rooms are always open for the admission of visitors ; and when parents and friends are sufficiently interested in the school to come in and see it at its daily work, it is believed this course will be ap- proved by all
During a portion of the year considerable interest has been taken in vocal music. 'The elements have been taught, and marked progress made by the pupils in read- ing music. The Trustees believe that music should be taught in all our schools, and it is their purpose to give all members of the Stetson School an opportunity to learn to sing by note. It is believed that by so doing the hours will pass more pleasantly, cheerfulness will be promoted, and enthusiasm encouraged, while it detracts nothing from the solid studies, and is of itself a solid and lasting ac- complishment.
During the year a few pupils having no taste for Latin, were allowed to take book-keeping in its place. It is pro- posed to follow this course in the future, when so desired by parents, in order to adapt the course of study to the wants of the community as well as to the ability. and, in part, to the inclination and taste of the pupil.
The Trustees fully realize the necessity of having a standard of admission to the school not so high as to close its doors against those whom the " honored doner " so much desired to benefit, nor yet so low as to fill its seats with pupils only partially fitted. It is believed that this standard so devoutly prayed for, and so difficult to obtain, will soon be reached.
41
The co-operation of parents is much needed in securing greater punctuality and regularity of attendance. It is the desire of the Trustees and of the teachers to raise the standard of the school in this respect. That it is no worse than previous years, or than many other schools, certainly is no valid reason why it should not be much better.
The school sessions are so short that the necessity of studying at home seems imperative. To accomplish any- thing in this way regular hours should be allotted for the purpose, and no ordinary matter allowed to interfere with them. In no case, however, should this course be pursued to the physical disadvantage of the pupil.
In conclusion, the Trustees carnestly repeat what has heretofore been said, as to the importance of parents and friends more frequently visiting the school, and thus show- ing the sympathy and interest which they doubtless feel. Parents and teachers should be personally acquainted, and labor harmoniously for the interests of the school. In this way wrong impressions will be removed and mis- chievous insinuations silenced.
The ensuing school-year will commence on Tuesday, April 7. Candidates for admission are requested to pre- sent themselves for examination at the school-room on Friday, April 3, at nine o'clock A.M.
