GEORGE I. HAMEL, Wilbraham.
Report of the School Committee of the Town of Wilbraham.
In presenting our report for the current year there is but little that can be said more than is shown in the tables accompanying this. The year has been a good one for the schools. No epi- demic has prevailed in any part of the town during the school year, and all of the schools with the exception of No. 1, have been running the usual number of weeks. During part of the winter term of last year, School, No. 8 was closed, and for this reason the spring term was 13 weeks long, making a total of 36 weeks instead of 34 as in the other schools. The number of scholars has been so small in District No. 1 that no school has been opened there during the year.
Your committee has been somewhat undecided as to the best plan of conducting school No. 2. During the spring and fall the attendance was hardly large enough to warrant two schools, and yet it was almost too large for one. During the winter the attend- ance has been larger and two schools have been maintained, and we are hoping that this may continue to be the case.
The following extract from the "Records of the School Com- mittee " will show what action was taken in regard to a union school with town of Hampden. "The Chairman and Secretary of the Committee met the Hampden School Committee at a private school room in a house in Hampden near the Wilbraham line to
20
consult in relation to the establishment of a union school in accordance with a vote of the town at the last town meeting. It was decided to refer the matter of the establishment of the school to Hampden, and that in case the school should be estab- lished, Hampden should maintain the school, and that Wilbraham should for the current year pay tuition, at the rate of cost per scholar for maintainance of the school, for all scholars attending from the families of Mr. Bliss and Mr. Soule. Also that Wilbra- ham should furnish text books for the scholars from these two families so far as they were of the same kind as used in Hamp den, and that for all others furnished by Hampden a fair amount should be paid for their use." The Hampden School Committee established the school, and four scholars attended from the above named families. The cost to Wilbraham is $37.30. The bill was received from Hampden too late to be paid this year and will appear in next year's account.
A few scholars from Palmer attended school No. 6, and tuition was received from them in proportion to cost of school. The amount thus received this year was $59.50.
Most of our school houses, having been built before text books were furnished by the town, did not have closets in which the books and supplies could be kept. During the present year closets have been built in school houses Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. In the entry of No. 4 a large closet was built for the storage of the books and supplies kept on hand for all the schools. The cost of all these closets was $39.57.
At the last annual town meeting $100 was appropriated for transportation of scholars. The committee have had no requests for transportation and the money remains unexpended.
The tables will be found to contain more of the details of the schools than those of preceding years. Under "Incidentals" in table 3, are included care of house, brooms, pails, and small repairs. At the end of each term the teachers report to the
21
Secretary of the Committee the number of books in the school and their condition, whether good, fair or poor. In estimating the value of books in schools, (Table III, last column) books in good condition are considered of three-fourths cost value, fair one-half, and poor one fourth cost. This does not include maps, globes, books of reference, etc.
