I would recommend the extension of the water system wherever an income of four per cent on the outlay can be at once realized, as the tendency is always to increase rather than to diminish, the number of water takers and the amount of water used.

GRADED SCHOOLS AND NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.


One step was taken in this direction at the commence- ment of the year by having the Pound Hill School, (which was composed of the old districts, Nos. 2, 3 and 4) consolidate with the center school. This arrangement was inade owing to the fact that we should have been obliged to have had another school-room whether we consolidated or not, as the old roomn in the center would not accommodate all the pupils be- longing to the center, making it necessary for us to secure another room and hire another teacher. After considering the matter carefully, we voted to consolidate the two schools and divide them into two grades, primary and intermediate, pro- vided we could get a suitable room. We applied to the select- men for permission to take the lower town hall and fit it up for a school-room; the selectmen granted us the permission asked for; therefore we went ahead on this line, saving the salary of an extra teacher and other expenses amounting to two hundred and fifty dollars. The expenses of fitting up the room and extra for transportation of pupils and teachers' salary amounted to two hundred and three dollars, leaving a balance in our favor of forty-seven dollars, and at the same time getting better results for the money expended. This experiment on our part has been a success, and we doubt if anyone that is interested in this school would care to be set back where they were two years ago.


This experience of the past year proves conclusively to our minds that we should do whatever we can to make it pos- sible to have full graded schools; and the only way to secure them is for the Town to build a new school building large enough to accommodate all the scholars in the Town, planned in such a way that an addition could be put on without injury to its exterior appearance, whenever more room is needed. We are not prepared in this report to give in detail what this building should be or the expense of same, but suffice it to say


45


that we cannot be extravagant in building, but can have a good well-built, substantial house furnished and equipped as it should be in accordance with a detailed plan and specifica- tions such as the Town may vote.


We hope to see a inove in this direction at your next annual Town meeting.


TRUANT OFFICERS.


Truant Officers were appointed, but as they have not been called upon to act in their official capacity and have not found it necessary so to act, no report is needed from them at this time.


MEMORIAL DAY.


This day was observed as the law directs.


The interest manifested by all the schools in the ob- servance of this day argues well for our country so far as this Town is concerned. The exercises of the children, appropriate to the observance of the day, were inost enjoyable to us all.


CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.


Under the circumstances in which we are placed, we think the schools are as prosperous as we can reasonably ex- pect, but hope their condition may be improved in the future, and the desired improvement will be possible if we all take hold in earnest, realizing that it is our bounden duty, to do all that we can to improve the condition of our schools, thus giving to our children a good education which is the best legacy that we can possibly bestow upon them.


IN CONCLUSION.


We are under obligations to our teachers for their faithfulness the past year, also we are grateful for the co-op- eration and support of the general public.


Respectfully submitted,


WALTER A. HUNTER, ) School F. HATHAWAY,


SIDNEY CRAWFORD, Committee.

The inmates have generally enjoyed good health during the past year, only two being removed by death. The re- duction of the number of inmates, caused by the new law above referred to, may make it desirable to add other towns to the Association, as the cost per capita is reduced by keeping the number up to the maximum which can be properly cared for.


The income is the largest since our organization, $84.80 each, from a herd of fifteen cows, besides home con- sumption, is certainly a creditable record.


Those interested in the well-being of the inmates and the success of the institution, will be pleased to learn that the present Warden and Matron, have been secured for another year.
