REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD
The school board submits their report with a feeling of satisfaction that our effort in trying to do the best we could in securing the best results for the children and all concerned. It is not a question of so many weeks of school; the question is for the voters to say how much money the District will raise for the support of schools. Of course we all know that we cannot give our children any too many school privileges
The school board recommend to the Selectmen to assess the following sums of money: Text books and supplies $90 00
Salaries of district officers 70 00
Repair money
50 00
