Superintendent's Report
To Chas. S. Brayton, Elmer H. Tibbetts, and Ernest F. Cook, Superintending School Committee of the town of Athens. Gentlemen:
I respectfully present to you my second annual report. I omit the usual statistical report of attendance because our terms have not come within the present fiscal year and I will present in my next annual report a statistical report covering the complete school year ending July 1st, 1916.
Certain conditions which were not foreseen have made it impossible to keep our common school expenditures within the estimated income as presented to the town at our last annual meeting.
First, the burning of the home of Wm. Chapman in the Cos- ton's Corner district brought into the town of Athens from the town of Hartland five children who attend the Coston's Corner school, thus reducing the estimated tuition from Hartland by nearly $100.00.
Second, the reversal by special town meeting, last spring, of the judgment of the superintendent of schools and the school committee that it was for the best interest of the town to con- vey the pupils from Eaton to the Washington school, has in- creased the estimated expense of maintaining that school by about $150.00.
To maintain the present number of schools will require an appropriation of not less than $1600.
Under the present law we must maintain not less than 30 weeks of school each year.
When the town is ready for the change a reduction of the number of schools in town would result in increased efficiency. No radical change can however be recommended with the pres- ent buildings.
Repairs have been made on the following buildings: New plaster at Franklin. New sills at Mckinley. Outhouse shingled at Mckinley. House painted at Stetson.
During the ensuing year, the village building should be painted, and the north side of the main house should be shingled.
19
The underpinning at the village building should also be re- paired. At Garfield, the building needs to be trussed with iron rods. New seats should be placed in the Franklin school. The Stetson building should be painted inside. For these purposes I suggest that $250 is needed.
Sufficient books for our ten schools cannot be secured for less than $350.00.
