REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1926
The work and supervision of the Schools has been carried on as usual. The Foster School because of the previous remodelling has re- quired very few repairs. The lunchroom has been supplied with extra tables making it possible for most of the children to be seated for their lunch.
For economic reasons it seemed advisable to the Committee to close the Spaulding School Building. The first grade has been moved into the extra room at the Foster School.
No repairs have been done at the North School, as a special com- mittee was appointed at the last Town Meeting to report on plans for an addition which the Committee have felt was very much needed.
During the summer the school rooms and coridors of the Shaw- sheen School were painted. Electric lights have also been installed throughout the building.
