COMPARATIVE POSITION OF THE TOWN.
In the abstract of the School Returns for 1874, this Town stands as follows :-
In the amount of money raised for the education of each child between the ages of 5 and 15 years as com- pared with other towns in the State and County,-
In the State, the fifty-first. In the County, the sixth.
In the average attendance for 1874 this town stands :-

The South School has been so large, that the School Committee have employed Miss Nellie Monroe twelve weeks of the winter term to assist her sister three hours each day. This arrangement seems to have given general satisfaction.
The North School had an average of but seven and a fraction during the last term. It is the opinion of your Committee, that it would be for the best interests of all concerned, if this school should be discontinued.
