REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE OLD BURIAL GROUND.


GENTLEMEN;


Your Committee chosen at the annual meeting of March, 1890, "to right up the Headstones and improve the old Burial Ground," submit to you the following report:


About the middle of September last we began work by digging off the sod and seperating the brush, digging the loam low enough to bury the sod below the loain, taking up the Headstones and digging out a place to set thein in gravel, and leveling off the ground. We worked over about one- third or more of an acre, of the worst part of it. The expense for the work and drawing gravel was $94.63 leaving of the sum of $100 appropriated, $5.37. We intended to have seed- ed the ground just before winter set in, but the snows came too soon for us. A good part of the northly part of the ground we think can be plowed and harrowed a few times and leveled cheaper, as there are not many headstones in that part of it. We would recommend another appropria- tion to do another part or enough to finish the whole.


Respectfully,


JOHN B. WELLS, STEPHEN W. FAY, Committee. GEORGE A. PUTNAM,

NUMBER OF SCHOOLS.


Seven schools have been maintained throughout the year, six primary and one high, divided into three terms of ten weeks each.


CONDITION AND CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOLS.


The general condition and character of the schools as a whole has been quite satisfactory, although there has been some friction in a few instances, injuring for the time being the character of the schools and the prospect of the scholars in getting their full benefit of the money expended. It is unnecessary to go into the full dis- cussion of this matter. as we believe that all interested in the schools are endeavoring to do the best they can to elevate our schools to the highest standard possible, but we are so situated in this town that we cannot secure the best and most experienced teachers, but have to take those of no experience. This getting a teacher of no expe- rience for some of the schools happens almost every term, and the teacher whose services we should like to secure longer, finds another field of labor with an increase of salary.
