REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD.
To the citizens of the town of Lyndeborough, N. H., the school board respectfully submits the following report for the year ending February 15, 1908 :
At the annual meeting of the school district, Charles H. Senter was elected moderator, Jacob A. Woodward clerk and S. Kate Swinington a member of the board of educa- tion for the term of three years.
The school board organized by choice of S. Kate Swining- ton chairman and treasurer, Alice M. Chase, secretary. Ella R. Holt was appointed truant officer.
The sum of fourteen hundred dollars was appropriated for the support of schools, said sum to cover all separate appropriations.
The district voted to move the schoolhouse from what was formerly district No. 9, and locate it where it would accommodate the pupils that had attended school in the building that was burned. The sum of four hundred dol- lars was appropriated for the purpose of moving and re- pairing the same, and a committee consisting of E. W. Dol- liver and E. Pettengil and Mrs. Carrie Johnson was chosen to carry out the work.
The district voted to sell school building in what was formerly district No. 8. It was sold by the selectmen for the sum of ten dollars, five of which was used to pay for land on which new school building was placed and the re- mainder placed in hands of school treasurer for school purposes.
A sum of money should be appropriated annually to keep the school buildings in proper repair, that they may be kept in a neat, comfortable condition.
Six schools were in session during the spring term, five during fall term and four during winter term.

It was thought best to discontinue the school at Johnson Corner during the fall and winter terms and carry the pupils to the Center, it being cheaper and to the advantage of the children to attend a larger school. Owing to sick- ness the winter term was somewhat broken, which, of course, is a disadvantage to any school.
We have employed eight teachers during the year and they have all done excellent work, and if we could have the cooperation of the parents we feel the results would be very gratifying. We could have better schools; raise more money ; retain a good teacher after we find them.
The constant changing of teachers we know is extremely detrimental to our schools, but until we can pay a salary equal to that paid by other towns we cannot expect to re- tain our teachers for many successive terms; for this and other reasons we find we cannot keep our teachers. In every school except the Center, where we have been ex- tremely fortunate in keeping one of the best of teachers, we have been obliged, for various reasons, to employ two teach- ers during one short school year.
The thing most to be deplored is the irregular attendance. of many of our pupils. The most enthusiastic teacher can- not interest your children in their school work if the pa- rents, to whom they look for example, allow and often en- courage the pupils to remain away from school. Another thing for which the parent is wholly responsible is the child losing its respect for the teacher through hearing dis- cussion at home detrimental to both teacher and school. Never let your child hear you speak disparagingly of teacher or school work. Again, the parents should make their children understand that books, buildings and all property of the school district belong to the town and are loaned them for their benefit; also that they represent money value, and that they should use them carefully, keep them neat and clean and return them in good condition.
Once more we invite the citizens to visit our schools and see them in their everyday work. You will find this to be

25
the only way to know what they are doing. You will find there a large quantity of test and examination papers, among which you can find the work of any pupil of suit- able age and see for yourself what their regular work has been and how well it has been done.
The true value of the work in our schools will be better appreciated when all acquaint themselves with modern methods of uniformity of teaching and understand that the intellectual training and development of their child de- pends largely upon home training. That, and the financial support of the citizens, the earnest work of the school board, faithful and progressive teachers and conscientious pupils will raise our schools to the high standard for which we have labored.
Again, we have had the good fortune to receive $102.02 from 'state equalization fund; also $8.96 from high school tuition rebate.
Please accept our thanks for the courteous treatment and favors we have received.
Respectfully submitted,
S. KATE SWININGTON, ALICE M. CHASE, ELLA R. HOLT. Members of School Board.
