IT is with deep regret that we make record of the death of our associate, Carlos P. Hill, who, after a long and painful ill- ness, passed away on August 29, 1904. We hereby extend our sympathy to relatives and friends of the deceased. The vacancy on the board caused by the death of Mr. Hill, if filled, required all the form and expense of a regular election. The board, after due consideration, did not deem it expedient to call a special meeting to fill the vacancy. Therefore all special or regular business which the board had to consider. when it was possible to do so, was passed over to be acted upon by a full board in the future if necessary, or if so instructed by the town.

ANNUAL REPORT.
To the School Committees of Holden, Oakham, Paxton and Rut- land:
My fifth annual report as your superintendent of schools is herewith presented. I trust that the report may prove of interest, not only to you, but also to the large body of intel- ligent, public-spirited citizens, of whom you are the chosen representatives.
In any group of schools there are usually some weak spots due to the teachers' deficiencies in power to manage or to teach, to lack of interest on the part of parents, or to other causes. I am pleased to say that such "weak spots" in the schools of this union are fewer in number and less serious in character than at any time since I began my work among you. The year just closed has been marked by harmonious and earnest effort on the part of all connected with the schools, and as a result of such effort considerable progress may be reported.
