GENERAL REPORT
The personnel of our Board has been changed twice dur- ing the year. Early last fall Mr. Herbert W. Lewis was obliged to resign on account of a change in business, and consequent removal from South Acton.
The Board of Selectmen and the School Committee at a joint meeting appointed Mr. C. F. Edney of South Acton to fill the remainder of the year. Mr. Edney early gave evidence of being a valued addition to our Board, but unfortunately on account of ill health, he too, was obliged to resign. The Selectmen and the School Committee again met, and appoint- ed Mr. Harry Nelson Brown to represent the South District.
Our financial report for the year 1918 shows an unexpend- ed balance of $3,019.97, notwithstanding the fact that the tuition in the Concord High School has been raised to $90, the tuition for agricultural scholars to $165, and rates for trans- portation over the railroads have also increased. This is not due to miscalculation in our budget for 1918, but to a combina- tion of events not wholly expected. Our coal dealers were unable this year to fill our orders in September, as has been the usual custom, and the bills for part of this winter's fuel will, therefore, be paid for in 1919. Then the closing of schools for three weeks during the epidemic of influenza lessened our expenses by nearly $500.
Owing to the attractive prices paid for labor, several of our young people left High School, and seven of our boys who would ordinarily be in High School, are now attending the Lowell Industrial School. The bill for this tuition at Lowell has not yet been received.
