Report of School Board
The schools for the past year have been as good as could be expected considering the small amount of money that we had to use. We think it better to pay higher wa- ges and have better teachers even if we do not have as many weeks of school during the year. As for the teach- ers we are satisfied that they tried to do the best that they could. We urge the parents to visit the schools often and judge for themselves instead of relying entirely upon the report of others. It encourages the teachers as well as the scholars.
The school board recommend to the selectmen to as- sess the following sums of money :
High school tuition $125 00
Text books and supplies 70 00
Salaries of district officers 60 00
Respectfully submitted,
ANNIE M. ESTY,

Respectfully submitted,
CHARLIE D. JEWELL, Treasurer.
We, the undersigned, have examined the foregoing account and find it correctly cast and properly vouched.
CHARLES E. MATTHEWS, Auditors. A. A. REMICK,
REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD
The schools for the past year have been equally as good as they were the preceding year. We tried our best to hire competent teachers and feel satisfied that we did. We think it time that the people of Groton were waking up and raising more money for the support of the schools and not have this town a laughing stock for miles around. If some of the surrounding towns can have thirty weeks of school during the the year, we do not see any reason why this town could not. There are very few days in winter that the children could not go to school. In years past, we have had schools in the winter and no one was frozen, and they all lived through it and think they would now.
The school board recommend to the selectmen to assess the following sums of money:
High school tuition 70 00
$125 00
Text books and supplies
Salaries of district officers 70 00
Repair money
50 00
Respectfully submitted,
ANNIE M. ESTY,
EDWARD MERRITT,
School Board.
