Frank R. Knowlton


E. Faulkner Conant; Secretary


George T. Ames


Caroline L. Brown


Lucius A. Hesselton


J. Sidney White


Horace. F. Tuttle


*Died November 13, 1922.


The trustees of the Memorial Library respectfully submit their annual report for 1922, including the report of the librarian and the list of books added in 1922. The receipts and expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1922 are shown in the report of the treasurer and town accountant.


The trustees ask for the following appropriations : For current expenses $700


For purchase of books $200


The death of Mr. Luther Conant has created another vacancy in the corporate body. He was the last surviving member of the corporate board named by the donor, Mr. Wilde, and president of the board since its organization in 1890. Mr. Conant was born in Acton, in 1831; his long life was lived on the ancestral farm. By some living he is remembered as their teacher in the public schools of this town. For forty years he presided as moderator of the town meetings. Twice he was chosen a representative to the State Legis- lature. He was an ardent lover of his native town, proud of its patriotic history and always sought to maintain its best traditions as a citizen.


Acton has reason to remember gratefully Mr. Conant for his generous public service and the large place he filled in town affairs.


For the trustees,


HORACE F. TUTTLE.

STANDING RULES


Rule I. Children shall not be admitted to the public schools until they are six years of age, excepting that children who are six by first of that calendar year following opening of school in Septem- ber, may be admitted with the approval of the superintendent of schools.


Rule II. Pupils shall be promoted from grade to grade and school to school according to merit. Thorough and satisfactory work will be required of pupils in a lower grade or school before entering a higher grade or school.


Rule III. Children who have not previously attended any school shall be admitted to the public schools only at the beginning of the fall term, unless qualified in the opinion of the teacher and superintendent of schools to do the work.


Rule IV. Pupils shall be held responsible for books loaned to them until returned to the teacher.


Rule V. No repairs shall be made upon the public property in the care of the school committee except by their authorized agents.


Rule VI. There shall be no signal for "no school" on stormy or inclement days, but parents shall determine in their individual cases whether it is expedient to send their children to school or not.


Rule VII. Schools in the different buildings shall be five and one-quarter hours long, including one 15-minute recess. Primary rooms shall have an outdoor recess each afternoon; other rooms shall have a recess of sufficient length to allow pupils to go to basements or outhouses. Deviation from these hours shall be made only with the consent of the superintendent, and shall be reported by him to the school committee at its next monthly meeting.


Rule VIII. Doors shall not be opened before the principals arrive. Pupils may be allowed to come to their rooms with the per- mission of their room teachers, and pupils coming in barges may enter the basements, if weather conditions make it advisable.
