GENERAL REMARKS.
There have been two hundred and five weeks of school in town the past year. Teu different teachers have been employed, and one hundred and fifty-five scholars, eighty-six boys and sixty- nine girls, have attended school. The average daily attendance has been one hundred. The number of children in town between the ages of five and fifteen, by the Selectmen's enumeration in Apr 1887, was one hundred and twenty-eight. seventy-three boys and fifty-five girls.
The number of schools has been reduced to seven. We planned to have each school thirty weeks in length for the year, but the winter terms in two of the smaller schools were closed ear- lier on account of the unfavorable weather aud traveling.
All of the teachers except one are residents of this town. It has been our aim to employ only those who are well qualfied for their work. All have done well, and labored hard for the success of the schools. We are proud of the fact that we have in town several superior teachers who have long been connected with our schools ..
We have been pleased at the interest manifested by a large share of the scholars. The rank in scholarship and deportment has been unusually high. In our opinion the schools of this year will com- pare favorably with those of preceding years. The average length of our schools two years ago was nineteen weeks ; this year it has been twenty-nine and two-sevenths weeks.
In 1858, thirty years ago, there were four hundred and seventy-nine schollars in town. These were divided into fourteen schools averaging thirty-four schollars to a school. To day there are less than one third of that number of scholars with an average
.
33
of twenty-two scholars to a school. Under these circumstances- would it be advisable to maintain the same number of schools as formerly ? With the present number a few of the scholars have to go farther, but the extra advantages more than compensate for the extra amount of travel.
At the last annual meeting the town appropriated two hun- dred dollars more of school money than the amount required by law.
A member of the School Board asked for this appropriation with the understanding that, if deemed advisable by the board, it should be used for a graded school. A majority of the board were not in favor of establishing such a school. A portion of the money thus appropriated has been used to lengthen the winter schools.
. At the last annual school meeting the district voted to raise the sum of three hundred dollars to repair the Old South School- house. Soon after, at a special meeting called for that purpose. the district was asked to purchase land for a.new school house lot. and to build a new school house instead of repairing the old one.
This request was not granted. Fifty-one legal voters, aggrieved by the action of the district. petitioned the School Board to desig- nate a new location. We heard all parties interested in the case. and decided that the old location was in many respects unsuitable. and that it would be inexpedient to expend upon that location the amount appropriated. We legally designated and laid out a new lot which the owner refused to sell. The aggrieved party peti- tioned the Selectmen to appraise the damages to said land-owner for the taking of said land. In the mean time a meeting of the dis- trict was called, and a vote was passed authorizing the School Board to build a new house upon the lot designated. The Select- men appointed a hearing upon the petition presented to them, but have made no legal report of their doings ; consequently, the vote of the district could not be carried into effect. We make these statements that the citizens of the town may know the facts of the case.
34
.
We have not acted unadvisedly, but have sought the counsel of competent attorneys. We have had in view the interests of the cause of education, and have no apologies to make for the course pursued.
It will be our aim in the future to raise and not lower the standing of our schools. In this effort we ask the earnest co-oper- ation of all parents and citizens.
