The Superintendent's term expires March 31, 1892, and we regret very much, that we are to lose his valuable services, and those of his estimable wife. The farm and, house have been run, and the accounts kept in a correct and impartial manner. In the duties of the household, and the care of the " unfortunates " who have been obliged to seek a home at our Almshouse, Mrs. Mosher stands second to none. As to the outdoor work on the farm, the Superintendent has labored under many diffi- culties. In order to make the farm pay, as it certainly ought with the present small number of inmates, there must be a change made in the quality of the stock kept. It costs no more to feed a good cow, than one that does not pay her salt, provided she gets any. It seems as though some of these would be better "well salted." We seem to have a good milkman, one that pays for what he gets, and if a change was made for the better, in part of the cows kept to produce milk for market, we see no reason
36
ANNUAL REPORT.
why a margin should not be created on the " right side " of the ledger. The farm has always been considered a good one, strong, productive land, and plenty of it.
The buildings are in fair shape, but still need some re- pairs, as it was not deemed wise, to spend too much money in one year. The barn needs some repairs about the large doors, not a very expensive job, but still it should be done to save the building. One other very essential building should be built, at a small expense, and that is a wagon shed. The Selectmen bought the present year a new farm wagon, at an expense of fifty-five dollars, which stands out- doors exposed to the rain and sun. It is throwing the town's money away to leave wagons and tools so exposed. The old saying "anything that is worth having, is worth housing " would work well here. A new horse was pur- chased, giving the old one as part payment. We were fortunate in getting one that has proved a good, serviceable animal, and one that will last a long time with proper care. A new express wagon will be needed the coming year, as the one now in use is worthless, and has been so for some- time. The hen house and shed connected, have been put in thorough repair. So we see no reason why the farm should not be run smoothly, and with no expense to the town, even though we do have some inmates. It is hard to find in any town, everything conducted " exactly right." But, it does not mend matters, to find fault, or be con- tinually grumbling. Such feelings can become " chronic." If the men in office do not suit, or lack ability, try others. Better ones may be found in other persons. We can show to outside people, that we have outgrown our " quarrel- some ways," and that we are going to put our best foot for- ward, and turn Berkley in her down hill course. There is always a reaction, once in so many years. No town offers better advantages for people to "come among us," and make their homes. As our neighboring city continues
37
ANNUAL REPORT
to grow, the workmen must live " somewhere." It is far pleasanter, and more attractive, south of this city, than in any other direction. Visitors to our town invariably re- . mark, what a nice place for residences, along the river
from Taunton line to Conspiracy Point! The railroad is certainly near enough at Segregansett. So let us drop the old cry of "Berkley is nothing, and always will be nothing," solely because we "lost our railroad." Our eastern sec- tion of the town is remarkably well accommodated by railroads running to all points of the compass. And why " Myricks " does not make an unprecedented growth, re- mains a " mystery " for the present. The people of that district ought to be better represented in town govern- ment than at present. It is a right they are entitled to, and they should attend to it. So, if all sections of the town pull together, and pull in the right direction, we see no reason why the value of our property should not " go up," and our tax rate " go down." With our schools kept up to their present high standard, good roads, and a little money spent for needed improvements, not lavishly by any means, we cannot see why people will not come to our town "to stay," and a class of people we wish to welcome.

ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
It is not the intention of your Committee in this re- port to discuss educational theories or to advocate im- possibilities but as far as possible to confine themselves to a statement of what has been done during the past year, and to recommend some changes for the coming year.
LENGTH OF TERM.
The length of the school year for all the schools ex- cept in district No. 5, where on account of the illness of the teacher the winter term was shortened two weeks, has been thirty-three weeks or the same as last year.
In reviewing the work of the past year we cannot say that decided improvement has been made in every school and by every teacher. In a few, marked success has been attained. In others the work has been ordinary, but in every case there is chance for improvement and could some changes be made which have hitherto seemed im- possible,-such as lessening the number of schools and placing these under better and more experienced teachers, we should economize our school appropriation and give to our pupils better advantages than they now have.
Your Committee have endeavored as far as possible to secure the services of good teachers and to provide them with such books and other facilities for teaching as would best enable them to carry out the purposes of the "State Board of Education " in regard to a thorough in- struction in all the branches required by law to be taught in our schools. We have also endeavored to give to the teacher our sympathy and support in all matters of school government and discipline and have from time to time suggested to parents and guardians the need of earnest co-operation, on the part of all who have children in school. with the teacher in order that the same principles which we aim to inculcate in school shall be strengthened and developed at home.
43
ANNUAL REPORT.
DISTRICT SUPERVISION.
At the annual March meeting in 1891, the Town voted in favor of " District Supervision " and appropriated a sum of money sufficient to in part pay the salary of a superintendent. But as no further progress has been made in the matter and the towns nearest us do not favor such union the future in regard to it is uncertain.
CHANGES RECOMMENDED.
Your Committee are unanimous in their opinion in regard to the consolidation of the schools in Districts 5 and 6 and are convinced that, if the children attending those two schools could be placed in one, a saving of money and an increased advantage to the pupils would be the result.
Your Committee would therefore recommend an appro- priation sufficient to pay for the conveyance of children in District No. 5 to school-house in District No. 6 or some other school.
One of the best reasons for uniting these schools may be found in the fact that while the average cost per scholar last year for schooling throughout the town was twelve dollars, the cost per scholar in District No. 5 was thirty-three dollars or nearly three times as much as it cost on an average throughout the town. This should be a strong argument in favor of an " appropriation " for conveyance.
CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY.
Three of the school-houses in Town have been painted during the year, a wood-house has been built at Assonet Neck, and a school-yard fence at Myricks.
FLAG RAISING.
During the past year, by the well directed efforts of the teachers and schools aided by contributions from
ANNUAL REPORT.
generous citizens, flags have been raised upon three of our school-houses. May the work so nobly begun, continue, until over every school-house in Town shall that banner float of which it is said, "Oh, long may it wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
" RECENT LAW RELATING TO HIGH SCHOOLS."
Before closing this report we would call the attention of the Town to the Act of the Legislature approved April 30, 1891, of which the following is a copy.
AN ACT RELATING TO THE PAYMENT OF TUITION IN HIGH SCHOOLS BY CERTAIN TOWNS. " Be it enacted as follows :
SECTION 1. Any town not required by law to main- tain'a high school shall pay for the tuition of any child who with the parent or guardian resides in said town, and who attends the high school of another town or city, pro- vided the parent or guardian of such child before such attendance obtains the approval of the School Committee of the Town in which the child and parent or guardian reside.
SEC. 2. If any town not required by law to maintain a high school neglects, or refuses to pay for tuition as provided in the preceding Section, such town shall be liable therefor to the parent or guardian of the child furnished with such tuition if the parent or guardian has paid the same or to the town or city furnishing the same in an action of contract."
(Approved April 30, 1891.) SCHOOL CENSUS.
The number of children between the ages of five and fifteen years as found in the town the first of May, 1891, was one hundred and fifty-one (151). Between the ages of eight and fourteen was one hundred and two (102).
