Everything about the house is in good order, and is pro- nounced by the "Inspector of Institutions" to be clean, orderly and well kept. It is the most favorable report they have made about the house for the past ten years. The whole number of inmates the past year, 24. Number of weeks, 8074. Net expense, $1,364.43, average cost per inmate, $1.69+ per week.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Randolph:
In accordance with the requirements of the law, the School Committee hereby make and submit their annual report of the present condition of the public schools.
There has been a good degree of interest on the part of pupils and teachers, and the progress for the year has been very satisfactory.
The Committee are well pleased with the work of the teachers, and believe that good discipline is being main- tained in all our schools.
We wish to call the attention of the parents to the seem- ing lack of interest displayed by many of them in the pro- gress made by their children. We heartily wish that more of the parents and friends would avail themselves of some of the special occasions, such as the last session held before Memorial Day ; also the day before the Christmas vacation, if on no other, to visit the schools, and encourage teachers and pupils by such an expression of their interest.
With the exception of one fatal case of diphtheria, which necessitated the closing of the North Grammar School for one week, and a few cases of typhoid fever, there has not been much sickness among the pupils.
The school census taken last September shows that we have 653 children between the ages of five and fifteen years, an increase of 29 from the census of 1899.
At the commencement of the public schools the first of last September, owing to the large number of pupils in the
44
seventh and eight grades, the Committee were obliged to open a new school. At that time Mr. Belcher had 74 pupils, while the seating capacity of his ,room is 60. In like manner Mr. West's was overcrowded. It was, there- fore, deemed advisable by the Committee to open a school for the pupils of the seventh grade, and we appointed Miss Katherine A. Kiley (who previously taught the sixth grade) as teacher of this school ; Miss Mary A. Molloy, of the fifth grade, was advanced to the sixth, Miss Katherine A. Sheri- dan from the fourth to the fifth, and Miss Mary E. Wren from the third to the fourth. Miss Ellen E. Mclaughlin was elected teacher of the third grade, which was made vacant by the advancement of Miss Wren. The pupils of the second grade, taught by Miss Fannie A. Campbell in the Prescott School building, were transferred to the old building (formerly No. 8). Not having sufficient funds to fit up a room for this grade, the Committee removed desks, seats, stove and table from the unoccupied schoolhouse on North street, and had them placed temporarily in the south room upstairs. The majority of these desks are too large for the pupils, but under the circumstances the Committee · could not do otherwise.
We ask the town for an appropriation of $200 at the annual meeting, to furnish this room in a suitable manner for young pupils. The school buildings are in good repair, with the exception of the Prescott building, which needs shingling, as the roof leaks badly. The town has voted several years to accept the act relative to the employment of a superintendent of schools, but we were unable to form a desirable union. We think, however, this year, that both Holbrook and Avon will be in a position to join us. The article has been inserted in the warrant, and we earnestly hope that the town will again vote to accept the act, and raise and appropriate $300 (which will be our share) toward
45
the superintendent's salary, if it can be accomplished. After July 1st, 1902, it will be compulsory for the town to em -- ploy a superintendent of schools. See law which is here- with printed :
" CHAPTER 248.
"An Act relative to the employment of Superintendents of School by Cities and Towns.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows :
Section 1. The school committee of each town or city in the Commonwealth may, and after July first in the year nine- teen hundred and two shall, employ at the expense of the town or city a superintendent of schools, who under the di- rection and control of the committee shall have the care and supervision of the public schools: provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to dissolve existing unions for the employment of a superintendent, or to prevent towns from uniting for such employment under the provisions of sections forty-four and forty-five of chapter forty-four of the Public Statutes, or of sections six and seven of chapter four hundred and sixty-six of the acts of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.
Section 2. The school committees of towns the valuation of which is less than two million five hundred thousand dol- lars may, and after July first in the year nineteen hundred and two shall, form unions under the provisions of chapter four hundred and sixty-six of the acts of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.
Section 3. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. [Approved April 18, 1900."
We have exceeded the appropriations this year, which is due to a large expenditure for books and the expense of an additional school.
46
A detailed statement of the expenditures in this depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1900, is annexed to this report.

REPORT OF THE TRUANT OFFICERS.
To the School Committee of Randolph:
In regard to the statutes governing Truant Officers, we report that accordingly we have visited all the factories in the town, and have not found any children under fourteen years of age working therein. A number are employed under sixteen years, but in each case they are furnished with an age and schooling certificate. We have had a number of complaints of children staying out of school, which we have attended to. One case of habitual truancy was brought before the Court, and the party sentenced to one year's confinement in the County School at Walpole.

STETSON SCHOOL FUND.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
To the Citizens of Randolph:
The only changes in the investment of this fund, since our last annual report, is relative to the National Shawmut and Tremont National Bank shares under the arrange- ment made by the Trustees about two years ago, to take ten shares of the new Shawmut stock at $150 per share, in exchange for thirteen shares of the old Shawmut National Bank. We have received dividends sufficient to pay for the new shares, and $125 additional, which sum has been deposited in the Randolph Savings Bank ; we expect another small dividend from the old shares. The Tremont National Bank is in liquidation; we have received two dividends amounting to $250 from this stock, which sum is on deposit in the Randolph Savings Bank, until such time when the final dividends of both banks shall be paid.
The fund now stands as follows, the valuation being at par :
