C. Report of District Clerk
Before the meeting the following ballot clerks were sworn in by the Clerk: Annabelle Dupree, Bernice Hymen, Winnie Leonard, Harvey Hayes, Jr.
The Moderator, Arne Olsen, called the meeting to or- der at 9:25 a. m. After the ballot clerks counted the ballots, the balloting for school officers, under the official non- partisan ballot system, started at once. The Moderator read the warrant of the Dublin School District. The mo- tion was made and carried that the polls be kept open until 5 p. m. to carry out the provisions of the follow- ing Articles:
1. To choose a Moderator for the coming year.
2. To choose a Clerk for the enusing year.
3. To choose a member of the School Board for the ensuing three years.
99
4. To choose a Treasurer for the ensuing year.
7. To choose two Auditors for the ensuing year.
The Moderator then recessed the meeting at 9:40 a. m., to be continued at the end of the Town Meeting.
The Moderator again called the School Meeting to order at 2:30 p.m., and read Article 5 of the warrant. A mo- tion was made, seconded and carried unanimously to fix the salaries of the School District officers as follows:
Chairman of the School Board $100.00.
Each other member $75.00.
Treasurer $50.00.
Clerk $10.00.
Auditors, each $5.00.
Moderator and Ballot Clerks, $1.25 per hour per meet- ing.
The Moderator read Article 6 of the warrant. The mo- tion was made, seconded and carried that the reports on pages 70 through 84 of the Annual Report be accepted as printed.
The Moderator read Article 7 of the warrant. The mo- tion was made to appoint a committee to see if the high school bus can be routed along the Bonds' Corner Road and Gold Mine Road, and this was indefinitely postponed. A motion was made, seconded and carried that a commit- tee be appointed by the School Board to make a study of high school transportation problems.
The Moderator read Article 8. The motion was made, seconded and carried "That the district raise and appro- priate the sum of $37,299 for the support of schools, for the salaries of school district officials and agents, and for the payment of statutory obligations of the district, and to au- thorize the application against said appropriation of such sums as are estimated to be received from the state equal- ization fund together with other income; the school board to certify to the selectmen the balance between the esti- mated revenue and the appropriation, which balance is to be raised by taxes by the town."

The Moderator read Article 9. The motion was made, seconded and carried that consideration of this article be indefinitely postponed.
The Moderator read Article 10. The motion was made and seconded to adopt this article but it was voted down.
The Moderator called for any further business. A dis- cussion ensued as to whether or not the children at school should help with the school lunches without pay. It was the sense of the meeting that it was better training for the children to give their services voluntarily to help with the excellent lunches which they are privileged to enjoy at such a small price. A tribute was paid to Doris Davis for her able and devoted service in managing and preparing these meals.
The results of the balloting were as follows:
For Clerk:
David R. Elder 168, Vivien Walsh 3, Ralph Wood 1, Glen H. Scribner 1, Katharine Jackson 1. Elnora Scribner 1, Belle Gowing 1.
For Treasurer :

It was fortunate indeed that three of the four regular teachers returned in Sepetember 1952. Although the loss to Connecticut of the services of Miss Carolyn Fisher was keenly felt, her replacement, Miss Morissette, is doing ad- mirably with maintaining the high standard of instruc- tion established by Miss Fisher.
In February 1952 Mr. Coogan, Supervisor of Music, re- signed, and Mrs. Margaret King of Hancock, a former Dub- lin teacher, served very capably for the remainder of the school year.
B. Program and Methods
No important changes have been made during the past year in the program of studies, or in the methods of instruction. Materials are all modern and up-to-date meth- ods are being used. Much use is being made of the sound- movie projector, the film projector, the radio, the record player, and other modern instructional aids.
Early this past fall Mr. Gene Gowing contributed his exceptional talents to the school by directing a series of lessons and a public performance in square dancing. The pupils profited greatly by the experience, and the grown- ups seemed to have a very enjoyable time. Thank you, Gene.
Special instruction in nature was offered again the past year, due to the fine help from Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Allison.
The handicap of having no special instructor in Home Economics for the junior-high-school-age girls was par- tially overcome last year by special help given them by the two women teachers, and the plan is continuing this year. The work is scheduled while the boys are working in the shop with Mr. Olney.
