CITIZENS' CAUCUS.
The citizens of the town of Norwell are requested to meet at the Town Hall, Norwell, on Saturday evening, Feb. 27, 1892, at half past seven o'clock, to nominate town officers for the ensuing year, and transact any other business that may properly come before it.
PER ORDER OF THE SELECTMEN.
SCHOOL REPORT.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF NORWELL.
MR. ISRAEL HATCH
Term expires 1894.
MRS. MARY E. CURTIS
Term expires 1893.
MISS HATTIE R. GARDNER
Term expires 1892.
To the Citizens of Norwell :
GENERAL REMARKS.
We have made one more change in the arrangement of the terms of our school year, and now have it divided, we think, satisfactorily.
Fall term begins first Tuesday after Labor Day and continues fourteen weeks, with a recess of Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following. Vacation - three weeks.
Winter term begins first Monday in January, and continues twelve weeks. Vacation - two weeks.
Spring term begins first Monday after Fast Day, and continues twelve weeks. Vacation - nine weeks.
IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
Teachers' Convention at Brockton ; High School Graduation ; Annual Exhibition of Grammar, Mixed and Primary Schools ; Examination for admission to High School; Memorial Day exercises.
OUR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
At the last annual meeting, the town appropriated and raised $150 for repairs in District No. 6. We, therefore, during the summer vacation, had new outbuildings made and the front newly
46
clap-boarded, so with its new doors and a fresh coat of paint on the front, it looks as well as the rest of our buildings. But we shall have to ask once more for an appropriation to paint the school house in District No. 5. The town voted us all we asked for last year, that was $90, but the building needed paint so badly, being so large, with considerable fancy work, that we could not find a painter who would do it for that sum, so this year we must ask for $150.
The new system of heating and ventilation now in use in Dis- trict No. 2 was placed there by order of the State Inspector of Factories and Public Buildings, and NOT by your committee, as some have thought.
This system of ventilation (by means of a jacketed stove, wood- burning) is now in use in some of the finest school buildings in the State and is a great success ; and although we have had some diffi- culty in getting the room warm enough for comfort during the early part of the day, we think that we have now overcome the difficulty and that hereafter there will be no trouble in that direction.
We feel very sure that the many cases of sickness in our high school last winter were caused entirely by the bad ventilation ; the many throat troubles, the rapid spread of the measles in the school, were directly attributable to that.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
We have made but one large purchase of books during this year, and that was for our district schools in the matter of geography. For four years, we have bought no new geographies, and what we had then were not new, so that at this date they are decidedly old and very much behind the times, almost ancient geography.
