REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
The past school year has been one of harmony. A good degree of interest has been manifested by teachers and pupils. Owing to sickness and severe cold weather the attendance during the last term has not been as good as we had hoped. Parents and guardians will consider the importance of scholars being present at every school session, thus aiding the teacher in classifying her pupils, and adding to the roll of honor. The outside of the West primary school building has been improved by painting.
In the last school report attention was called to Chapter 77 of the Session Laws of 1899, authorizing a union of school districts for the employment of a superintendent of schools. It was voted at the last school meeting that the school board ascertain from towns where it was being tried what satisfaction it was giving, and report at the next March meeting. To this end the State Superintendent of Public Instruction was invited to speak to our citizens. He responded, giving a plain, comprehensive address favoring the plan. We trust that good results will follow, and that a district will be formed in the near future.
