During the summer vacation arrangements were made to heat the building by steam, and it is believed that with proper fuel the entire building can be thoroughly heated. Since no coal could be obtained, stoves are being used at present, and all that is possible is being done.
In closing, I thank the School Committee and the Super- intendent of Schools for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, HERBERT E. WALKER, Principal.
December 31, 1902.
REPORT OF THE "JOINT COMMITTEE" OF TRUSTEES, SCHOOL COMMITTEE, AND THE PRINCIPAL OF PARTRIDGE ACADEMY.
At the annual meeting of the town in March, 1902, in re- sponse to the request of the President of the board of Trustees of Partridge Academy it was
"Voted that the Moderator appoint a committee of three in regard to the relation of the Partridge Academy to the town."
This committee has looked up the matter very thoroughly, kindly put all the correspondence and information at the dis- posal of the Trustees and School Committee, given an outline of its report, and stated the opinion that the town does not au- thorize it to propose changes.
Therefore, the Trustees of a recent meeting, requested the "Joint Committee" to propose a plan by which the Academy and High School may be continued together, if the town so wish, complying with the new "Revised Laws," and in ac- cordance with Mr. Partridge's will, giving a higher degree of instruction than would otherwise be supplied.
This joint committee consists of three trustees, the School Committee and the Principal of the Academy.
It decides upon the course of study, admits pupils, and trans- acts other business of the school.
It now recommends the continuation of the Academy and High School as one school, an increase in the entrance ..... ments, and an extension of the course of study.
To attain this end it proposes the following motions for the town to act on at the next Town Meeting.
Moved that it is the wish of the town to continue the High School in connection with Partridge Academy.
Moved that the town shall maintain a High School under the order and superintendence of the School Committee, in ac- cordance with the Revised Laws of 1902; and the School
-87-
Committee is hereby authorized to continue the High School in connection with Partridge Academy.
If these motions are passed, and the action is ratified by the Trustees, the Academy and High School will be practically one school, but two distinct legal organizations, the same teachers being elected and courses of study adopted independently by both the Trustees and the School Committee.
