The average membership for the year has been thirty-four, and the average attendance thirty-one. Then each succeeding class is larger than its predecessor, so that while at the close of the spring term, only eight or ten will pass out of the school, at the beginning of the fall term nearly or quite twenty will step in as the new class. A few moments consideration will convince any candid mind that one teacher cannot with justice to himself or the scholars, carry such a number through such a course of study. The school is proving its worth more and more all the time. Its growth is far beyond the expectation of its most san- guine friends, and shows the value placed by both parents and children on such educational advantages. The town owes it to itself and these scholars, to make this school all it should be, and to that end it should furnish an assistant teacher. This, in the opinion of your committee and superintendent, is needed, and therefore recommended.


Again, our town is so situated that it has been found best to have the High school hold its sessions one term in each central district of the town, viz : the Centre, the South and the West. Undoubtedly this is more convenient when all things are con- sidered. This has placed quite a burden on many of the scholars, and, it is remarkable how faithful they have been in their attendance through wind and storm. It is believed by your committee and superintendent to be wise and just that the town provide trans- portation from these centres to the sessions of the High school. This will equalize the advantages of the High school to all. At the present quite a number who are unable to bear the expense of


36


transportation are cut off from the education offered in the High school. This ought not to be. The town should authorize the committee to provide transportation for the scholars upon the wisest and best terms possible. This is the opinion of your com- mittee, and it is therefore recommended.


The usual financial and attendance tables are appended. This report with its statements of the condition of the schools the last year, and the important action taken by superintendent and com- mittee, also its statements of present needs and suggestions having been read to, and discussed by the committee, was unanimously adopted as their report of work done, and recommendations for the schools.


C. L. RHOADES, Superintendent of Schools,


For the School Committee of the Town of Acton.
