L. A. HESSELTON FRANK R. KNOWLTON


The Trustees wish to call the attention of the town to the fact that we have just received a very acceptable addi- tion to the Art Treasures of the Library in the form of a bronze statuette of Milton, the poet, from the late Mrs. M. E. A. Williams. This is the first bronze that the Library has ever received, and as there is room for more, we hope that other gifts will be forthcoming.


The Trustees recommend the Town to raise and appro- priate the usual sums: $200 for new books and $400 for current expenses of the Library.


Appended is the annual report of the Librarian.

Section 11. The several school teachers shall faithfully keep the registers of attendance daily, and make due return thereof to the school committee, or to such person as the committee may designate. No teacher of a public school shall receive payment for services for the two weeks preced- ing the close of any term, until the register, properly filled up and completed, is so returned. All registers shall be kept at the schools,, and at all times during school hours shall be open to the inspection of the school committee, the superintendent of schools, the truant officers and the secre- tary. and agent of the board of education. In reckoning the average membership and the percentage of attendance in the schools, no pupil's name shall be omitted in counting the number of such persons belonging to the school and the number of absences of such persons until it is known that such pupil has withdrawn from the school without intention of returning or, in the absence of such knowledge, until ten consecutive days of absence have been recorded; but the foregoing provision for computing the average member- ship and the percentage of attendance shall not affect pro- ceedings against habitual truants, absentees or school of- fenders, or other persons, under the provisions of section one of chapter forty-four and sections three, four and five of chapter forty-six.

The super- intendent of schools, or, if there is no superintendent of schools. the school committee, or teachers acting under authority of said superintendent or committee, may excuse cases of necessary absence. The attendance of a child upon a public day school shall not be required if he has attended for a like period of time a private day school approved by the school committee of such city or town in accordance with the provisions of the following section, or if he has been otherwise instructed for a like period of time in the branches of learning required by law to be taught in the public schools or if he has already acquired such branches of learn- ing or if his physical or mental condition is such as to render such attendance inexpedient or impracticable. Every person having under his control a child as described in this section shall cause him to attend school as herein required ; and if he fails for five days sessions or ten half days sessions within any period of six months while under such control to . cause such child. whose physical or mental condition is not such as to render his attendance at school harmful or im- practicable, so to attend school. he shall. upon complaint by a truant officer and conviction thereof. be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars. Whoever induces or at- tempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school or employs or harbors a child who, while school is in session, is absent unlawfully from school shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars.

SEVENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.


To the Citizens of Acton :


The year just closing has been an uneventful one in your schools and little need be written here in addition to the report of the superintendent included herein, except to say that the work of the schools has been good and that much credit is due, as always, to the superintendent, the teachers, and the special instructors.
