To fill the vacancy caused by Miss Alden's resignation we employed Miss Lillian G. Murdock, who came to us well recommended, being a graduate of Abington High school and of Quincy Training school, having attended the Hyannis
-49-
Normal school, and for the short time we have had the op- portunity to witness her work, we would say we are pleased with her methods and earnestness, and believe the school is progressing finely.
In accord with the vote of the town, the No. 8 school building has been moved near to Fresh Meadow Village and fitted up with the necessary appurtenances to accommodate the few pupils in that locality, and was made ready for the fall term, holding a school for eleven weeks, with Miss Grace R. Gammons, a graduate of our High school, as teacher. We are encouraged to believe that Miss Gammons will make a good teacher.
We would bespeak a kind word for all our teachers, feel- ing they have the interest of our schools at heart. While we may personally consider their merits varied, we would not criticise their efforts. Advice when sought or given by the committee has been pleasantly received and applied. We feel to congratulate the town that our efforts have been so successful in the employment and retaining of teachers.
REPAIRS.
Your committee have exceeded the appropriation for this account quite heavily, made necessary by there being no special appropriation for putting the No. 8 building in order after its removal, which when landed at its present site was in a very dilapidated condition. The sills, floor, roof, plas- tering, seats and desks had to have heavy repairs, also the blackboard required considerable attention. A new shed and privies under one roof were built, and a coat of paint applied to the outside of the school house and to the trimmings and doors of shed, and paint and paper on the walls and ceiling of the inside, and the renewing of the seats and desks with paint and varnish have put it in condition to compare favor- ably with other school buildings in town. Heavy plank steps in front, passing by each door, have been furnished on the
· Carver 4
-50-
outside, and a few days' work of grading and taking out stumps immediately in front and at sides of building has been done.
Other buildings on which heavy repairs or improvements have been made are at Districts No. 3, 4 and 5.
At No. 3 High school building the windows have had to be reputtied and painted, and a substantial wire fence placed around three sides of the lot, which, as well as ornamental, is serviceable, and shows no depletion by use. At No. 3 Primary building the roof on one side and back end was re- shingled and a coat of paint was given to the outside walls. No. 4 Grammar room has had a new hard pine floor through- out room and entries. No. 5 has had a wire fence erected as at the new building, one side of roof shingled and a coat of paint applied to the outside walls. The repairs in other districts have been light and limited to actual necessities.
The lot at District No. 8 is unsightly and unsuitable for a play ground, from the large quantity of brush and stumps remaining there, which may justly be considered in making an appropriation. Also a fence should be erected. lt would doubtless be pleasing to teachers and pupils if there were better facilities for obtaining water at each of our school yards.
District No. 4 should have a fence erected on the back and south side of the lot, which may comply with the law, and discontinue the driving of teams across it. The floor at No. 5 is badly worn and its repair is anticipated in the near fu- ture. School buildings and premises require constant care. It is not policy to hive our children up where we would bestow but a miserly pittance. We believe the citizens have been generous in this particular when called upon by their committee.
In the minds of the committee the reopening of several small schools has a tendency to weaken the force of instruc- tion in town and very materially increases the cost of our
-51-
schools. We would encourage consolidation and grading, giving all our pupils within the walls of our school buildings equal facilities. As it is the last time your chairman of the School Committee expects to have the opportunity in an official capacity to advise the citizens, he desires the pardon of the town and associate members for the above xpressions if they may seem officious in view of the recent votes passed by the town.
The addition voted for the use of the High school at the new school building at our last annual meeting was com- pleted in time for the fall term of school. It gives the requisite of a recitation room, is well lighted and makes one of the pleasantest rooms in town. It is a valuable adjunct to the High school, which now occupies the southerly room of said building, being connected with it by an intervening door. The much needed enlargement of the basement at- tained thereby supplies the necessitous want overlooked in the construction of the building. The facilities for our High school, thus supplied, place us in as favorable a condition for its continuance as is enjoyed by other small towns sup- porting them.
By the continuance of our High school many parents are stimulated to give their children a High school education, when otherwise they could not afford the expense. So, by its continuance, the interest of the present and future poster- ity of the town will be enhanced. A class of six pupils grad- uated the past year after a four years' course, with enjoyable exercises given at the Center Carver Baptist church, whose managers gratuitously loaned the church for the occasion. At the commencement of the fall term a class of seven was admitted. We feel as though they have fallen into good hands, as our instructors of the High school we regard as amply qualified and sufficiently commanding for the position, and are commended by those who mingle with them socially. The names of the graduating class will be given on another page.

Sickness has broken the attendance record considerably during the year in several schools. We see it noted on the No. I Grammar register. In some cases of absenteeism, it appears as though the parents were negligent of the duty they owe their young. Honest, earnest sacrifice has brought joy to many a home. We would encourage parents doing all they can for their children's intellectual culture.
We trust that in the employment of a superintendent, our schools may derive many benefits. The law says we shall employ one after July I, and with the right man in this posi- tion we believe our schools will be improved.

Fellow Tormsmen :-
It is with pleasant memories of the past and a kindly and thankful spirit to the citizens, I retire from the office of School Committee. I have ever regarded my position as a gratuitous gift of my townsmen, and in that light I have enjoyed the position. During the eighteen years I have held it, I have felt that I carried with me the respect and good will of teachers, pupils, and parents. I have felt weak in the posi- tion and my numerous duties outside of school interests have made inroads on my time that seemed to be due the schools'. I will now withdraw with the close of the year, hoping that some one will be chosen at your annual meeting who will give our schools his or her best efforts.
I would thank my associate members and all with whom I have associated in the past for their kind and respectful demeanor towards me. Especially would I thank the teach- ers who have ever accorded me respect, and shall ever hold them in pleasant remembrance. During my long term of
-57-
service, I can recall no unkind treatment or words from a teacher. Having ever tried to assist and advise with them to the extent of my ability. I feel that a retrospect of my associations with them will ever be pleasant. Trusting that I may hold your esteem in the future, I pledge my best ef- forts for the encouragement and upbuilding of the public schools of Carver.
Respectfully. GUSTAVUS ATWOOD, Chairman of School Committee of Carver.
