REPORT OF FARM BUREAU WORK DONE IN WILLIAMSBURG IN 1918.
This report does not include the indirect assistance that was given the town through general county work.
Considerable time has been spent with the Northamp- ton Milk Producers' Association in which many of the Williamsburg farmers are interested. Assistance has also been given the Williamsburg Fruit Growers' Asso- ciation in packing and marketing of their apples. A state reaper and binder was made available for those farmers growing small grains.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Williamsburg:
GENTLEMEN :-
The following report is, in accordance with custom, respectfully submitted for your consideration.
The school year closing June 30, 1918 was very satis- factory in almost every respect and fully as profitable as those immediately preceding. We had an excellent corps of teachers which insured steady progression along cus- tomary lines with the minimum of waste in energy or time. No important changes of the regular course of study were made, but it was slightly modified to meet the increased demand for war aid, the formal study of agriculture being temporarily omitted but, as this has proved both interesting and valuable, it will be resumed at an early date. While the attendance at times was quite seriously affected by the prevalence of sickness, yet a portion of the loss was made good by the extra labor of teachers, and few pupils failed of promotion because of enforced absence from school. At the close of the year the resignations of four teachers were accepted with much regret, and later those of two more.
