REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
Your committee have examined the financial needs for the maintenance of the various departments of the town, and to pro- vide for the payment of principal and interest due on bonds and notes for the fiscal year ; and have also investigated all requests calling for the appropriation of money in the various articles of the Town Warrant; and after careful consideration, we make the recommendations given below in this report.
During the past year your committee have transferred from the Reserve Fund $1,853.43 to the various departments, which you may find itemized in the Town Accountant's report.
We wish at this time to congratulate all departments for the manner in which they have conducted the business of the town; in all cases, transfers were asked for before the appropriation was exhausted; and reasons for so doing were clearly stated and transfer was for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures.
REGULAR APPROPRIATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 4.
The various departmental recommendations we believe are fair and reasonable; and with the exception of snow, we recom- mend the amounts as hereafter set forth. To date, February 16, the snow bills total over $10,000. We, therefore, at this time do not recommend any given amount, but will do so at the Town Meeting.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
SCHOOLS.
With regard to the appropriation for the schools of $45,480 your committee wishes to state that they have gone into the ques- tion of school expenditures in a joint meeting with the school committee. From statistics obtained from the state it is evident that our town, with an average daily attendance of 353 pupils, spends for school maintenance over $100.00 per pupil per year, while six comparative towns-that is, towns with average daily pupil attendance of 350 to 400 pupils-spent from $80.00 to $57.00 per pupil per year.
Hamilton is classified in group 111 by the Department of Education. (See Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Bulletin of Department of Education, 1923, Number 1.) There are 115 towns in this group. Of these 115 towns, 16 spend as much as or more than we do. The other 99 spend less. The average for the 115 is $77.30 per pupil (average net membership). That is to say, we spend $30 per pupil more than the average cost in the group.
Your finance committee presents these figures to you for your information. We are not criticizing the school committee, to whom all of us Hamiltonians are indebted for a fine school and educational system; nor do we lose sight of the difficulties with which they have had to contend. We commend them for their work. At the same time your finance committee, whose job it is to keep the taxes as low as possible without impairing the efficiency of any town department, feels that certain economies could be brought about in the purchase of school supplies, involv- ing some $10,000.

JOHN L. WOODBURY
In Memoriam
John C. Woodbury
On February 12, 1923, our respected and honored townsman, John L. Woodbury, passed from the cares of earthly life to the rest of life eternal.
He was the son of Nehemiah and Esther ( Patch) Woodbury and was born in Hamilton, January 11, 1843, where he has made his home all his life.
He served in the Civil War in Co. B, 50th Massachusetts Infantry, enlisting September 1, 1862, and being discharged August 24, 1863.
In 1881 he was elected a member of the Board of Selectmen and served continuously on that Board for ten years.
For seventeen years he had faithfully and efficiently served the town as Treasurer, having been appointed to that office on September 11, 1905, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Daniel E. Safford, and had continuously served the town in that capacity to the time of his death.
He had the confidence and respect of his associates and fel- low citizens and by all his loss is deplored.
We shall remember him as a descendant and representative of genuine old New England stock, whose ranks are fast being decimated by the hand of time.

A school is something more than a building. There must be teachers who love their work and have the ability to lead and in- spire. In addition, there must be a spirit of cooperative helpful- ness in the community which will encourage the children to work and do their best in order to better fit them to take their places in life. We believe that the above conditions are true of our schools
105
106
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
this year, more than ever before. The teachers are both faithful and loyal, and the town is upholding the school authorities to a degree that is extremely gratifying.
Our new Superintendent, now serving his second year, has made many noteworthy changes in our educational system that reflect great credit on his ability. He has the loyal and enthusi- astic support of every member of the committee.
The changes in personnel of the committee have not been at all detrimental to the interests of the schools, as both Mr. Blount, who resigned in August to accept a superintendency in New Hampshire, and Mr. Sproul who succeeded him, are successful educators. Mr. Sproul is at present at the head of the Commercial Department in the State Normal School at Salem, Mass., and the other two members of the committee feel that they were fortunate in securing him to serve with them. His broad knowledge of both the teaching and administrative work of our modern educational systems have already been of great help and will continue.
As this report is written we are reminded that Mr. Frazer has resigned as High School Principal to accept a more lucrative position at Rochester, New Hampshire. While not a very demon- strative person, he has, nevertheless, been a good principal and we trust that he will be successful in his new field. The committee feels that it is fortunate in securing the services of Mr. L. M. Orcutt of North Conway, New Hampshire, as Principal of the High School. Mr. Orcutt leaves North Conway amid genuine regret among the townspeople, including both parents and scholars.
Regarding the school buildings, the committee felt that only absolutely necessary repairs should be made last year, and as it was found during vacation that both of the large chimneys on the South School needed extensive repairs it was well that the above
107
SCHOOL REPORT
conclusion was reached. By carrying the boiler flue up a few feet above the rest of the brickwork, we were able to improve the draft to such an extent that we were very successful in burning bitumi- nous coal.
The West School was kept open this year and we plan to continue its use.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT ROBERTSON, JR., Chairman.

TEACHING STAFF
We were fortunate in having but few resignations from the teaching force during the last year. At the South School, Mrs. Mae Thatcher resigned in June and Miss Weston late in August. Miss Clara Mann, a teacher of several years' experience, was en- gaged for Grade VI, and Miss Marion Smith, who had served in the East School most acceptably, was transferred to the second grade, Miss Sarah Stevens, a graduate of Salem Normal School being appointed to the East Primary School.
In the High School, we had four resignations-the Misses Fitzgibbon, Morrison, Legasse and Whalen, all of whom had
109
SCHOOL REPORT
served but one year, leaving in June. Through a reorganization their work was taken over by the appointment of three new teachers. Miss Catherine Larrabee, a graduate of Colby College, who had served successfully as a teacher at Lawrence High School Fairfield, Maine, teaching Latin and French; Miss Florence Davey, a graduate of Trinity College, teaching English and his- tory, and Mr. Leon Weymouth teaching algebra, biology, print- ing, mechanical drawing and woodwork.
