Report of School Committee
Your School Committee wishes to submit the following report :
During 1933 d spite the reduction in our budget, deemed neces- sary by the circumstances of the times, we believe the past efficiency of our schools has been maintained. This has been possible by the of the teachers and all connected with our schools.

Through the request of the Committee an allotment of the C.W.A. funds of the federal government was obtained and the wood- work and the walls of the Helen E. James School were varnished and painted. This building is now in excellent condition.
We also requested and received a very substantial allotment of C.W.A. funds for the repair of the Haydenville Grammar School building. Due, however, to the poor condition of that building and

In conclusion we wish to express our gratitude to all who have worked with us for the advancement of our schools.
