ANNUAL REPORT
fair trial of one year in the high school and the failure of such pupil to maintain a passing rank, he should pay all bills and take the consequences with good grace.
Consolidation of Schools.
With the opening of the schools last autumn Nos. 3 and 5 were closed and the pupils transferred to No. 1. This called for an expenditure of $20 per week as compared with $28 per week if those schools were maintained. On this basis a saving of $288 was made for the year. Further- more by this combination No. 1 has only 23 pupils; a medium sized school. The monetary statistics are given on the basis of a $12 wage for the teacher, which is not sufficient if anyone except an inexperienced high school graduate is to be secured. Again the outlook for securing teachers is far from being hopeful. Since we cannot pay a wage that will hold our teachers when offered city posi- tions, we cannot do better than to consolidate our schools, reduce the number of teachers, and by paying a larger wage secure the services of a trained or experienced teacher. Too frequently, when this subject is under discussion, the child's interests are not considered equal to those of the parent who has nothing but his own personal opinions to present. At present there is no reasonable expectation that with a change of prices in respect to commodities there will come a reduction of teachers' wages thus enab- ling the town to return to the little school with its handful of children and a school keeper at the desk. That day has passed. The wage of the teacher is steadily increasing and will tend in that direction until she receives annually a worthy compensation in dollars. Also the day is rapidly approaching when the state will decide who is properly

trained to teach school. Under these conditions it appears to be wisdom to unite schools and hire the best teacher available.
With pleasure we express our thanks to all who have aided in making the school work of the year successful.

ANNUAL REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The cost of running the town is rapidly increas- ing, with a tax rate of twenty dollars per thousand and our valuation increased approximately ten per- cent. Our revenue was not enough to pay our ex- penses. The town owes a note of two thousand dol- lars and a tuition bill of seven hundred. In addition to this we shall have to pay the County $1,752.60, our proportional part of construction of the new Tuberculosis Hospital and ninety-one dollars for maintenance of same from Sept. 2, 1919, to Jan. 1, 1920, making a total indebtedness of $4,543.60. There is due the town about $2,400 in uncollected taxes.
The town appropriated $3,000.00 for road con- struction under the Small Town Act, the state mak- ing us an allotment of the same amount. Half of the money was expended in Myricks and the balance on Berkley street.
The sum of $400.00 was appropriated to be used in giving a welcome home to our returning soldiers. Joseph Howland was appointed chairman of the committee.
