The attention of the citizens of Carver is called to Chap. 444, Acts of 1897, relative to the return of births and deaths, which went into effect Jan. Ist of the present year. By this law much responsibility is placed upon physicians, midwives, parents, etc., and it is desirable that all the people should make themselves familiar with its provisions. I quote but three sections.
"SEC. 3. Physicians and midwives shall on or before the fifth day of each month report to the clerk of each city or town a cor- rect list of all children born therein during the month next pre- ceding, at whose birth they were present, stating the date and place of each birth, the name of the child if it has any, the sex and color of the child, the name, place of birth, and residence of the parents, the maiden name of the mother, and the occupation of the father. If the child is illegitimate, the name of the father shall not be stated unless at the joint request in writing of both father and mother, which request shall be filed with the returns of births." * *
"SEC. 6. Parents shall within forty days after the birth of a child give notice thereof or cause such notice to be given to the clerk of the city or town in which such child is born. Every householder shall within forty days after the date of a birth oc- curring in his house, give notice thereof or cause such notice to be given to the clerk of the city or town in which he resides ; and he shall also within five days after the date of a death occurring in his house, give notice thereof or cause such notice to be given to the Board of Health other than the Selectmen, or if there is no such board, to the clerk of such city or town."
" The oldest person next of kin present at the time of the death of any of his kindred in the city or town in which such death oc- curs shall, within five days thereafter, give notice thereof or cause such notice to be given to the clerk of such city or town."
"SEC. 8. Any parent, keeper, superintendent or other person required by Sec. 6 of this act to give, or cause to be given, notice of a birth or death, who neglects to give the required notice or cause the same to be given, for ten days after it is due, shall for each offence forfeit not exceeding five dollars "
32
In accordance with Section 17 of Chap. 444, public notice is hereby given that I am prepared to furnish blanks for the returns of births and deaths to such as may require them.

Clerk of Carver.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Carver :-
As the revolving year comes round, your committee are re- minded of their obligation to report to you the condition of our schools, and their labors connected therewith.
We realize that the responsibilities of our office are great, and have tried to exercise good judgment in the work you have com- mitted to us.
You are not unmindful of the increased work and responsibility you have laid upon the committee in authorizing them to establish a High School in town. We would say that we have not been reluctant in discharging these additional duties, but have been much interested in doing all we could to make an auspicious be- ginning in High School work.
All who have visited the school or have had an opportunity to become acquainted with its work, will, we believe, be in sym- pathy with us when we say that the first term has been a success, and bespeaks for the school a bright future. The interest and desire to improve its privileges on the part of the pupils are clearly manifest by their good attendance and work. This favor- able condition is due in no small degree to the faithful work of the principal, Mr. Rice, a man who impressed us favorably the first time we interviewed him, and whose record proved to be satisfactory. Your committee have visited the school quite fre- quently and have tried to keep in touch with the work in the different branches taught, and thus far have seen much to com- mend and little to criticise.
The old text-books have been used as far as practicable and thus expense curtailed in this direction. The only new books pur- chased for the first term are Beginners' Latin Books, English Histories, English Classics, and Music Books, besides some refer- ence books which were bought second-hand at a great reduction
34
in price. It is our aim in the matter of text-books to get the latest and best in the market; for they cost no more, and much better work can be done by using them, as teachers can testify. We are glad to note that our schools are gradually improving in this respect.
Instead of buying new seats and desks for the High School building, which seemed desirable, we took ten of each from each of the schoolhouses in districts 2 and S and had them cleaned and varnished. This saved quite a bill of expense and they will answer for a while very well. Boards were purchased and painted for blackboards, which are good enough. Maps were taken from the schoolhouses vacated.
The outbuilding at No. 8 which was in a decaying condi- tion and of service to no one, we thought judicious to move and repair instead of laying out money to build a new one. It looks fairly well and answers our purpose. Thus in equipping our new High School we have tried to work economically for the interests of the town in this grand enterprise.
The Pope's Point school has been discontinued and the scholars conveyed to the Centre. In this district the scholars are scattered and the attendance has always been irregular and small. Trans- portation increases the attendance and gives the scholars better advantages without increase of expenditure. This movement to consolidate the schools in sparsely settled districts is in operation in various parts of the State. as we learn from the last Annual Report of the State Board of Education, and those who have tried the experiment are, so far as we know, unanimous in their testimony that they can employ better teachers, increase the attendance, and thus accomplish better results for the same outlay of money. We think that none of our fellow-citizens who are interested in school work, and have good judgment concerning the same, will censure us for this step we have taken to consoli- date our schools, as we have been to no additional expense, and our sole purpose is to benefit the children, and give them all equal privileges.
The Centre School, consequently, has been increased in mem- bership, but the new teacher, Miss Towne, whom we engaged for
35
this school, has been successful in building it up, notwithstanding the increased number, so that a decided improvement can be seen, especially in the discipline.
On account of the resignation of Miss Bennett, a vacancy oc- curred at the South Primary and was filled by Miss Harris of Weymouth, a teacher who we think is conscientious and desirous to succeed. To this end she is glad to have her work criticised and is ready to receive suggestions. A spirit we wish all teachers would cherish.
Our schools are not in some respects all that we wish them to be, but the outlook for the future is more encouraging than ever before ; for if our High School is maintained, it will give us a grand opportunity to make out a course of study and have a graded system.
All should be in favor of raising our schools to a higher standard of excellence. It should be considered a matter of vital interest to the town.
We are glad to be able to say that already there is a stimulus manifested in our schools that has never been so apparent hereto- fore, and which is not difficult to explain.
Your committee sincerely hope that you will continue to make liberal appropriations for schools, and that our town will soon be able to give her young people as good educational advantages as the state provides.
The only new text-book that has been introduced the past year is The Natural Elementary Geography, the latest book that has appeared on the subject, and we think the best. It is in accord with the most modern methods of teaching geography and takes with the teachers.
The schoolhouse at East Carver has received two coats of paint, a sink has been furnished, the floor patched, and woodshed repaired.
The Centre schoolhouse has been made more cheerful and at- tractive by whitewashing the ceiling and papering the walls.
By changing our fiscal year, our schools have been in session only two terms or twenty-seven weeks, except the schools at the North, which have had only twenty-six ; therefore it has not been necessary to exhaust our appropriations, with one exception, that is
36
the transportation appropriation. And what has been spent in this way is not wholly an additional expense, for the running expenses of the Pope's Point school have been saved; but you plainly see that in order to give the scholars the privileges they now enjoy, there must be an increase in this appropriation the ensuing year.
Last year the sum raised and appropriated was $350 ; we recom- mend this year an increase of $150 besides the amount usually expended to run the school at Pope's Point, which is about $300. This you see will bring the appropriation up to $800, but will diminish the appropriation for schools $300. So in reality the transportation expenditure will be only $500 as an additional outlay.
This seems like a large sum for a small town and we wish we were more favorably situated geographically, but so long as these facilities are improved and appreciated, and good schools are maintained, it seems to us that it is an investment that will yield good returns to the town. It is almost needless to say that trans- portation is not only a benefit to those scholars living at a distance, but also to those who need no conveyance, since the number of classes is greatly reduced, and the teachers enabled to work to better advantage by having a longer period for each recitation. But it would be impossible and undesirable to transport all of our scholars. There must be a limit somewhere. And your com- mittee have fixed this limit at two miles in summer and one and a half miles in winter. Those living within these limits are to get to school themselves.
There are some, we fear, that think since there is a team on the road it should pass right by the door, but it is evident that all can- not be thus favored. And we are in sympathy with the sentiment that we have heard not unfrequently, that if scholars are not inter- ested enough in their school to walk a reasonable distance, they would not derive very great benefits from attending. It is evident that in order to maintain a High School in town provision must be made for the transportation of scholars, which we believe they have appreciated by their regular attendance.
In closing this part of our report, we wish to congratulate you
37
on the decision made in favor of a High School which at present seems promising, and you are to be commended for the liberal appropriations for conveying scholars and for schools. We sin- cerely hope that this spirit of generosity toward these worthy objects will ever be fostered in our town.
