In checking the records of the school department it was noted that, although the town had voted an appropriation to provide lunches (in conjunction with the Federal Gov- ernment) for the school children, receipts from such school lunches were being used to purchase supplies for the lunchroom. It is recommended that this practice be dis- continued and that the receipts be turned into the town treasury in accordance with the provisions of Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws.
It was also noted in listing the appropriations voted by the town that a single amount is voted for "General Gov-
-91 -
ernment", which includes the expenses of several separate departments. It is again recommended that specific ap- propriations be voted by the town for the salaries and expenses of each department.
In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, and interest accounts, as well as tables showing the con- dition and transactions of the various trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appre- ciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

1942 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Carver :
The Carver School Board organized this year with Eunice Bailey as chairman, Harriet Snow as secretary and John Carter taking the place of Winsor Leach as its third member. Mr. Leach was granted leave of absence following his re-election and is now serving with the United States Army in Australia. Meetings are held, with Superintendent Austin, on the third Wednesday of each month.
Americanization classes which were conducted at the Centre School had an enrollment of seventy-three per- sons taikng advantage of the courses offered which in- cluded reading, writing and speaking of English, Civics, History and Government. Since this was our first ven- ture in this field of adult education the committee feel that the response indeed proves the worth of the project and plan to continue this work the coming year.
The school lunches, operated for a time under N. Y. A. help have proved a great asset to our school system. Due to the fact that N. Y. A. no longer is in existence the town by its vote in a special town meeting appropriated money to pay the help needed in preparation of these lunches. Government commodities still are used and the fee of ten cents per pupil per meal balances the food budget.
The Benjamin Ellis School at South Carver was given a thorough painting both inside and the trimmings on the exterior of the bulding. This has greatly improved the lighting in the class rooms, since the ceilings are now white.
-122-
It seemed inadvisable at this time to make any major change at the Centre School. However much needed chalk boards were purchased for one of the older rooms.
Respectfully submitted,
EUNICE A. BAILEY, Chairman HARRIET SNOW, Secretary JOHN CARTER.
