ANNUAL REPORT.
vegetable and flower culture has been secured. The work has been done almost entirely at recess and before and after school. I trust that another spring some of our teachers may be sufficiently interested to do something along this line.
Partial Consolidation.
I desire also to emphasize in this report the advantages which would accru from reducing the number of our schools. There are in the town two very small schools, one with an enrollment of six, the other with an enrollment of ten. In all of Bristol County, if the number has not increased since the time of the last report of the State Board of Education, there are but three other equally small schools. For two principal reasons it is unwise to keep such small schools open. They are needlessly expensive and for many reasons less efficient. Among these may be mentioned the following: there is not the same interest and enthusiasm in the work when there is but one or two in a class; ordinarily equally good teachers cannot be afforded for them; much of the time of the superintendent that could be spent to advantage in the larger schools must be spent in visiting them. As to the difference in cost between continuing these schools and transporting the children in them to other neighboring schools, there is little doubt that a saving of from three to four dollars per week in each case, or a total of two hundred dollars per year might readily be made by trans- porting the children. If, therefore, the local prejudice against closing these schools could be overcome, I am con- fident that the children in them could find fully as good ed- ucational opportunities in the neighboring schools, and that the two hundred dollars saved, if spent in paying better

wages to our teachers, or in providing the much needed in- struction in Drawing and Music would result in lasting bene- fit to every child in the schools. A better school privilege for all concerned, without added expense, ought to bring about the needed change in the near future.
Educational Meetings.
The usual teachers meetings have been held at the be- ginning of each term to instruct the teachers to better ad- vantage in regard to the many details of school management and method.
The annual joint meeting of the teachers in this district was held at Dighton, Feb. 9, and a similar meeting of still greater importance was held at Somerset, Sept. 7. The latter was held under the direction of the State Board of Education, and an excellent program was provided. Of the speakers the most prominent were George H. Martin, Sec- retary of the State Board, and state agents, John T. Prince, James W. Macdonald and Walter Sargent. All the Berkley teachers were present.
Conclusion
In concluding this report I desire to commend to you our teachers for their efficient and loyal support in every under- taking, and to express to you my appreciation of the cordial and generous treatment which I have received at your hands.
Respectfully submitted,
Edwin S. Cobb, Superintendent. Dighton, Mass., Dec. 31, 1906.

Report of Truant Officer.
To the School Committee of Berkley:
The only complaints that have been made to me, during the year, for children not attending school regularly, were from Districts No. 2 and No. 6.
After investigating said complaints, I found some were kept at home for sickness, and some by the parents. As in every case, they agreed to send them more regularly, I deemed a Court case unnecessary.
Respectfully Submitted, CHAS. COREY,
Truant Officer.

Extracts from the School Laws.
School Attendance
(Revised Laws, Chapter 44)
Section 1. Every child between seven and fourteen years of age shall attend some public day school in the city or town in which he resides during the entire time the public day schools are in session, subject to such ex- ceptions as to children, places of attendance and schools as are provided for in section three of chapter forty-two and sections three, five and six of this chapter. The super- intendent of schools, or if there is no superintendent of schools, the school committee, or teachers acting under authority of said Superintendent or committee, may ex- cuse cases of necessary absence. The attendance of a child upon a public day schoo shall not be required if he has attended for a like period of time a private day school ap- proved by the school committee of such city or town in accordance with the provisions of the following section, or if he has been otherwise instructed for a like period of time in the branches of learning required by law to be taught in the public schools, or if he has already acquired such branches of learning, or if his physical or mental condition is such as to render such attendance inexpedient or im- practicable. Every person having under his control a child as described in this section shall cause him to attend school as herein required; and if he fails for five day sessions or ten half day sessions within any period of six months while under such control to cause such child whose physical or mental condition is not such as to render his attendance at school harmful or impracticable, so to attend school, he shall upon complaint by a truant officer and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars. Whoever induces or attempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school, or employs or harbors a child, who, while school is in session, is absent unlawfully shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars.

Annual Report
Report of Selectmen
To the Citizens of the Town of Berkley :
Your Board has leased the oyster privilege to Mr. George T. Greene, Jr., of Warren, R. I., for ten years, for which he has paid the town five hundred dollars in cash and gave nine notes payable one each year, as per agreement, of which the follow- ing is an exact copy :
"Articles of Agreement, made this twenty-third day of March, A. D. nineteen hundred and seven (1907), by and between the Town of Berkley, County of Bristol and Common- wealth of Massachusetts, by its Board of Selectmen, viz : Charles H. Macomber, Charles F. Paull and James McCall, duly elected and qualified at the annual town meeting held March 4th, A.D. 1907, and who were authorized by a vote of said town to sell the Oyster Privilege, the party of the first part, and George T. Greene, Jr., of Warren, State of Rhode Island, party of the second part ;
Witnesseth, That the party of the first part, for and in consideration of nine notes signed by said George T. Greene, Jr., bearing date March 23rd, 1907, and made payable to the Treas- urer of the said Town of Berkley, for Five Hundred Dollars, and the first to be payable March 23rd, 1908, and one note to be payable on or before the twenty-third of March of each and every succeeding year until the said George T. Greene, Jr., shall have paid in full the nine notes,
Do Hereby Lease And Let, unto the said George T. Greene, Jr., the Oyster Beds belonging to said town, all the rights of said town of taking oysters therefrom, for the term of
8
Annual Report
ten years from the twenty-third of March, nineteen hundred and seven (1907), excepting any rights given by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the inhabitants of the said town of taking oysters therefrom for their own use and con- sumption to the extent permitted by law and no further.
Whatever conditions, natural or artificial, that may effect at any time the water of the river during said term of ten years, shall in no way effect the lease or the value of the notes. But the said George T. Greene, Jr., or any person claiming from or under this contract, shall not remove any oysters from said beds so long as either of said notes shall be due and not paid in full.
And permission is granted that said George T. Greene, Jr., may plant oysters and shells, use power boats to cultivate the beds and dredge the same if consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
And the said George T. Greene, Jr., party of the second part, for himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, in consideration of said privilege, do promise and agree to pay to the Treasurer of the said Town the sum of Five Hun- dred Dollars, and in advance per year from March 23rd, 1908, for nine years, said nine yearly payments amounting to Four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($4500.00).
In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals the day and year first mentioned.
CHARLES II. MACOMBER,
CHARLES F. PAULL, SEAL
JAMES MCCALL,
Selectmen of Berkley.
GEORGE T. GREENE, JR., Lessee.
Mr. Greene intends and in fact has already begun to culti- vate the beds: he has taken up all the oysters and shells, dredged the beds so as to stir up the bottom and get rid of the slimy deposit that has collected on same, he has replanted the
9
Annual Report
oysters and shells and also about three thousand bushels of seed oysters from Warren River. This method of cultivating and growing oysters we understand has been very successful in other places and we are hopeful that it may be the means of restoring our beds to the condition that existed a few years ago, when the town sold their oysters for fifteen hundred dol- lars a year.
Our Town Farm so far as the buildings are concerned is in fairly good condition, otherwise it has run down considerably. It has been rented since April 1903 to Mr. Brightman for $100 per year. There has not been any inmates at the farm in sev- eral years, and under the present pauper law only certain cases can be taken there. If the farm could be sold for a reasonable price the interest on the money plus the taxes which the town would get, would make the income as much or more than it is now, and the town would be relieved of all expense for repairs and insurance. To continue renting the farm under the pre- vailing conditions would mean an annual expenditure of a large portion of the income to prevent it from depreciating be- low its present value. We present these facts as being worthy of consideration by the town.
We purchased a new road scraper last spring and the sur- veyors report that it is a very good working machine.
The town appropriated a sum of money to be left in our hands for the purpose of building a shed in which to keep the scraper, but as Mr. Cook very kindly offered us store room as long as we wanted to use it free of charge, we accepted the of- fer, believing we were acting for the best interest of the town.
The town financially is in a better condition than last year, as will be shown by the following statement.

In addition to the above according to the treasurer's account, there is $160 due for rent of town farm, and $100 more will be due April 1, 1908 ; an oyster note due March 23 for $500 and a fish note of $25 due June 1st, making in all $785.
Our present condition of finance enables us to add something to the sinking fund if the town desires to do so, and also to make the appropriations for the current year without raising so much by taxation, if the town thinks it advisable to use a por- tion of the money on hand for this purpose, it should reduce the tax rate. This would not only be appreciated by all tax payers but would be a strong inducement to encourage new in- terests to locate in the town.
