As a whole the schools were found to be in an excellent condition. All the schools are not equally good, but one school which was far behind the others, at the beginning of the year, has made considerable improvement.
Teachers' meetings have been held, at which an outline of the work to be done by each grade has been given to the teachers. The course of study in the High School has been considerably changed. Formerly more studies were carried on than could be heard every day and the studies were alternated :- a class would recite twice a week in Latin, three times in French, etc. Under the present arrangement each class has three studies, and recites in all of them every day in the week. "Another very important change is the amount of time given to English. this branch receiving con- siderable more attention than formerly. The publications of Houghton, MitHlin & Co., make it possible at very small cost, to study entire selections of. not simply extracts from, the best American and English authors. The American authors will be studied as a part of American history and will be divided into periods. The third class are studying the writers of the Colonial period, beginning with Franklin and Washington. while the senior class are studying the

later writers, as Longfellow, Whittier, etc. The plan is that the pupils shall not only become familiar with the best literature, but, in addition to that, certain extracts are to be memorized.
The ultimate aim of this work is twofold; first. to de- velope in the pupils a taste and desire for the best literature ; second, to show them what the best is. Another topic of great importance is the attendance and punctuality of the pupils. The town may furnish all school appliances and the best teachers, but these cannot accomplish the expected results without the regular attendance of the pupils. A brief examination of the following statistics will show the attendance of the year.
Realizing that whatever of success has been attained dur- ing the year is due to the cordial support of both teachers and committee, I wish, in this report, to express my sincere thanks for their assistance.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
As truant officer, I would report that visits have been made to six families in the South district. The children of three of them have attended school regularly since my call. At the fourth place, the mother refused to comply with my request to send the children to school. This case I shall be obliged to bring before the committee for their decision. One of the children is eleven years old and has attended school but eleven weeks and four days since last March. What will be the result of my fifth visit? Time alone can tell. The sixth case to be mentioned, and the only one in which names will be used, is that of Robert Cloran's. Three times I called at the house and had long talks with the mother and grandmother. Once, the boy was caught and taken to school. Considering it useless to continue to employ per- suasion, the case was reported to the committee for final action.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
The Acts of 1890 were amended, and read as follows :
Every person having under his control a child between the ages of eight and fourteen years, shall annually cause such child to attend some public day-school in the city or town in which he resides. and such attendance shall continue for at least thirty weeks of the school year if the schools are kept open that length of time, with an allowance of two weeks' time for absences not excused by the Superintendent of schools or the School Committee, and for every neglect of such duty the person offending shall, upon the complaint of the School Committee or any Truant Officer. forfeit to the use of the public schools of such city or town a sum not exceeding twenty dollars ; but if such child has attended for a like period of time, a private day school approved by the School Committee of such city or town, or if such child has been otherwise instructed for a like period of time in the branches of learning required by law to be taught in the public schools, or has already acquired the branches of

learning required by law to be taught in the public schools, or if his physical or mental condition is such as to render such attendance inexpedient or impracticable, such penalties shall not be incurred.

REPORT OF TRUANT OFFICER.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON.
Gentlemen: In the case of Robert Cloran, Truant. after he had been repeatedly called upon by both Mr. Wadsworth and myself, and both he and his parents duly warned as the Law directs, and it being apparent that he would not mend his ways and attend school as he promised he would. but wilfully persisted in absenting himself therefrom. the only course left was to have him declared a truant, and conse- quently it became my duty to ask for a warrant for his arrest, which was granted, and I took him before Judge Converse of the Municipal Court of Woburn. and he was duly tried, convicted and sentenced for one year. to the County Truant School at Lowell, in accordance with the Town By-Laws, relative to Truants, to which place I duly committed him on Wednesday, October 22, 1890.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN AND ASSESSORS.
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN AND ASSESSORS.
CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON,
Greeting :- With the close of another financial year as Selectmen, we submit to you a general outline of the past twelve months' affairs, together with an account of our stewardship.
The first few months of the past year the money market was very firm and interest high, consequently instead of making the usual large loan in April for six or nine months, we borrowed for temporary need on three months, making new loan later, to come due in December, taking up everything outstanding to date, except the balance on ten year note, which, but for the unfortunate failure of the Maverick Nat. Bank, tying up $4699.32 of our cash, and the inability of our collector to realize the amount anticipated on taxes, would have been entirely taken up at maturity, or replaced by a small note, making our Loan Account exceedingly small at this time, which as it stands must be admitted to be in fair proportion at least, with last year, as on the 25th inst. the Maverick Bank Receiver is to pay the second dividend of 20 per cent. (making 60 per cent. thus far) which virtually reduces the temporary Loan Account to about $1000.00 increase over last year, with 40 per cent, $1800.00, still due from bank. Many are of the opinion that the bank will eventually pay dollar for dollar, at no very distant day. Having the balance of $4699.32 tied up since Oct. 1, 1891, and being allowed interest by the present bank only on $500.00 balances, the interest on deposits exceeds that of last year, proportionately, as the entire amount was accumulated before Octo- ber 1, 1891, with the exception of about $2.50. As for the past five months, depending wholly on receipts and collections, we have been able to meet all demands for current expenses and pay interest on
8
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN AND ASSESSORS.
our loan, with $1500.00 on the principal, without borrowing, but have of necessity reduced the balance below the required $500.00 a ma- jority of the time.
The total general expenditures are about $1000.00 less than last year and we have been able to meet all requirements and just de- mands of the different departments, and still have a balance of about $1200.00 over in amounts appropriated, together with receipts of cash, which will offset all outstanding liabilities and then leave $300.00 or more.
The School Report will be found in detail beyond, and shows they have kept well within the bounds of their resources.
The Highways have been efficiently looked after by Wm. H. Car- ter, 2nd, and are beginning to show the good effect of the system and management of the past two seasons.
After paying for improvements and additions on High School Building and Public Library, with what incidentals arose, we had re- duced "Appropriation for Repairs of Public Buildings" to such an extent that it was impossible to make certain needed improvements the past year.
In the matter of Miss Sabra Carter's present or donation to the town we have been unable to come to any very definite conclusion, as she wished it condensed, at some time to embody all of the origi- nal papers with additions and so forth. Upon deliberation we de- cided to leave it for our successors to act upon and in meantime insert an article in the warrant, giving an opportunity for its re-con- sideration at the annual meeting.
The Cemetery Fence has been painted and repaired, and the general grounds kept up to the usual standard, with most of the lots in original part sold, necessitating the opening up of a portion at least, of the land recently acquired.
By laboring on the Highway, superintending the cutting and team- ing of wood, furnishing fuel for schools, etc., the Town Farm presents a very favorable showing. And this does not include the timber and wood sold Mr. A. T. Carter, which would give the Farm a net credit excess. There is one thing we especially desire to call to your at- tention and that is the inside furnishings of the Farm House. It is a standing disgrace to as enterprising a town as this to have its Town Farm House, with not a single room comfortably furnished to live in or entertain guests or strangers who may happen in on business or

socially. And we would recommend, if it meets with the sanction of our citizens, that a portion of the money received from the timber sold be judiciously expended in suitably furnishing the two front rooms, in a neat and consistent style. The Outside Poor account appears to be steadily increasing from year to year, and we hope our successors may figure out some plan for improving the dilemma.
