The collector's cash books were footed, the payments to the treasurer by the collector were checked to the treasurer's and the accountant's books, the abatements were compared with the assessor's records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The outstanding taxes were verified by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, town clerk, and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
It is recommended that the sealer of weights and measures and the health department make monthly payments to the town treasurer of all money collected.
The tax title deeds on hand were listed and the amounts trans- ferred to the tax title account were verified. Verification of the tax titles as listed was made by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The surety bonds of the officials required to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the public welfare, library and water departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and tax collector's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Rutland:
The School Committee organized February 15, 1945 with Mr. Marsh as chairman, Mrs. Griffin as clerk, and Mr. Smith the third member.
In April, the committee made plans to have the grounds in back of the school drained and graded for a ball field and more suitable play- grounds. There is one thousand dollars available for this purpose and though little progress has been made, we plan to complete this work during the summer vacation.
The committee has approved a thirty-eight week year for the grade schools.
In August Mr. Marsh resigned from the committee because he was leaving town. We have missed his pleasant association and keen in- terest in the schools. The School Committee and Selectmen appointed Mr. Frank Bracebridge to fill Mr. Marsh's unexpired term.
The full control of the school building has been accepted by the School Committee this past year and many improvements and necessary alterations have been made.
Again this year there were many changes in the teaching staff. Miss Moulson, Mrs. Giventer, Miss Thibeau, and Miss Duffy resigned and the following teachers were appointed to fill the vacancies: Mrs. Pearson, Miss Arline Judge, Miss Venice Withstandly, and Mrs. Caroline Martin.
We are thankful for the continued support of our teachers and Superintendent and wish to express our appreciation to them.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
Holden Mass, December 31, 1945.
To the School Committee of Rutland:
This report is the forty-sixth in the series since the formation of the present School Union, and the twenty-eighth by the writer.
We are still faced with the problems of teacher-shortage and of securing supplies and equipment, but the year just closed has been one of loyal effort on the part of all connected with the schools. We have not yet been able to secure an Art Supervisor. We were very fortunate in having Dr. Kimberly undertake the examination of pupils this fall, Dr. Mayo still being on military leave. Mrs. Butler resigned as School Nurse after long and faithful service in our schools. Mrs. Esther E.
Gonyer was appointed her successor and began her work in September. We were fortunate not to have many changes in teachers. Miss Venise Withstandley was appointed to Grade VII after the resignation of Miss Thibeau who had been with us for a long period of loyal service. Miss Mary E. Judge was named to succeed Mrs. Giventer in Grade VI, and Mrs. Ruth T. Pearson followed Miss Moulson in Grade II. Both the en- rollment and resignation of minors show a slight increase over last year, and the per cent of attendance was 94.
Repairs and alterations to the buildings have been carried out during the year, especially to conform to present building laws. It is hoped that plans for grading the playground and athletic field may be started this coming spring. The low water pressure in the main building indicates that the main line should be opened to determine the cause. We need an outside gong for the front of the building and several new lighting outlets. I would also recommend changing key switches to toggle or push button type.
By vote of the Committee the school year was lengthened from 36 to 38 weeks in the Grades, thus conforming to general practice. It was also voted to close the daily session in grades I to VI at 3 P. M., thus shortening the waiting time for buses between high and grade school closing hours. The program for grades VII and VIII is integrated to a limited extent with the high school schedule, and we hope to develop this plan further so as to achieve a definite Senior-Junior High School organization. There is now an opportunity for girls of grades VII and VIII to take Home Economics. We need very much to have manual train- ing for the boys of these grades as well as for the high school group.
85
"Release time" has been voted by the Committee for pupils whose parents request that they be allowed to attend the week-day religious training classes at the churches. To make this work more effective there should be attendance and work reports sent to the school.
With the money earned by the sale of garden seeds we were able to purchase additional books for the classroom libraries, and rent films for showing at assembly. We should add to these classroom libraries each year. We are grateful to the town librarian for her fine cooperation. We are exchanging our present reading material in the lower grades for the new editions as fast as they are available. The history texts now in use are about worn out, and as there are no reprints or revisions avail- able, we should change to another text.
Sales of war savings stamps and bonds during the year 1945 amount- ed to $2463.75. While the incentive does not seem as appealing now, it is evident that the need still exists, and the habit of regular saving is well worth cultivating.
The reports that follow merit your careful consideration. May I again thank the Committee, the Principals and teachers, and the parents for their fine cooperation in all our efforts to maintain good schools.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES R. CHILDS, Supt.
REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The work in the high school continued very much the same as it has during the past few years, the predominating feautres being an effort to carry out some of the important items in the pre-induction training pro- gram, the sale of stamps and bonds, and a curtailment to some extent in the athletic program.
The end of the war in 1945 brought a sense of great relief and a hope for a not too long adjustment period and a satisfactory solution for the post-war problems. As far as the high schools are concerned, General Miles ordered the end of the pre-induction training program and the state department of education has designated certain centers throughout the state where the returning veteran may complete his high school edu- cation. Whether any of the Rutland boys intend to take advantage of this opportunity remains to be seen. There are two or three boys, how- ever, who are endeavoring to obtain their high school diploma through the United States Armed Forces Institute.

Respectfully submitted, EDMUND D. KELSEY, Principal.
REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
In response to your request, I hereby submit my report as Music Supervisor.
The regular music program has continued as usual. In the grades the emphasis is placed on singing, with listening, part singing, theory, and general information about the composers, their characteristics and contributions to the art of music, rounding out the experience. Each phase is carefully graded and introduced at the proper level through the eight grades. That each child take with him through his life ex- periences, a deep and lasting urge to sing, is the fundemental aim of the whole program.
During the year there have been several assemblies of the first six grades to celebrate special days. Each class sings several songs which they have learned in the classroom as well as songs sung by the whole assembly. Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas have all been observed in this manner.
During the year, in the High School, a Girl's Glee Club and Mixed Glee Club have rehearsed regularly. The Girl's Glee Club sang in Worcester over WAAB last May and won honorable mention for their singing by vote of the listeners. The Mixed Glee Club under the direction of a student conductor, Inez Boquist, sang for graduation. This fall both clubs have been reorganized and plans for an operetta are underway.
It has been a pleasure to work with both the students and the teachers and I wish to express my appreciation of their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
WINONA A. WEED.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools:
This is a report as requested by you covering September through December.
We were fortunate this year to have the health program begin with a physical examination of each child by Dr. Arthur M. Kimberly, pedia- tician. Details noted by him were checked and a record of any defects sent to the parents. Poor posture is a common condition that will need careful attention at home as well as in the school. Good posture pro- ceeds with normal growth. Those in the greatest need posturally can be improved by physical exercises. Twelve percent of the children had teeth in poor condition. Nine defect slips were sent out regarding tonsils.
The health work included:
1. Thirty-one field visits.
2. Weekly sanitation inspections of both buildings.
3. Weekly inspections of children in grades.
4. All children weighed and measured.
5. Visual and auditory tests.
6. First aid.
7. Assisted Dr. Kimberly with examinations.
8. Health talks.
9. Consultations with teachers and parents.
10. Visits with State Consultants.
I would like to thank the teachers and janitors for their kind help with the program.
Respectfully submitted,
ESTHER E. GONYER, R. N.
