The School Board thoroughly believe in centralizing the schools, that is, they believe that when the pupils in the rural schools of the outlying districts are advanced enough in their school work to enter the grammar school, they should attend one of the village grammar schools. The plan has been pretty thoroughly carried out at North Conway especially. All the pupils from the McMillan, Echo Lake, and Kearsarge schools. for the last four or five years, have regularly come to the village school as soon as they have been fitted to enter the grammar grade.
A Christmas card given to the pupils of the McMillan school by their teacher in 1898, and having all their names printed on it, shows that almost every one of those pupils has attended or is now attending the grammar school. At Kear- sarge, for one or two winters, some of the grammar scholars have stayed at their own little school, coming back to the grammar school in the spring, when walking and weather are more to their liking.
But cold, nor heat, nor storms, nor tempest daunts not the Echo Lake boys and girls. Having once begun to go to the village school, they go to it.
It must not be supposed, however, that with the ideal of building up the grammar schools in mind, we have given over the teaching of the small schools to inferior teachers. No teachers but good ones have been employed-or if employed, have been retained-for the small schools.
SPECIAL DAYS.
Graduation Days at the North Conway and Conway Center grammar schools-the Conway Center summer term was a week later than that of the other schools of the town-were pleasant and interesting occasions, upon which the graduates acquitted themselves creditably, and read thoughtful and well-prepared essays. Many visitor as well as the members of the School Board, were present at both of these graduations.
The village schools of North Conway had a treat in their
51
TOWN OF CONWAY.
Decoration Day exercises, when several members of the Custer Post, G. A. R., came in their soldiers' clothes to visit them. The scholars marched from the school-house to Masonic Hall which had been profusely and beautifully decked with wild flowers, flags, and red, white and blue bunting. The boys and girls sang patriotic songs and recited patriotic and adulatory verses in tribute to the veterans, who occupied the platform, and who for their part told somewhat of their war experiences -a thousand times better United States History lesson than chapters of printed pages. though ever so well learned, could have been. Mr. George S. Pitts, of Conway, was the special hero of the occasion, for he recited several original, spirited narrative poems of the war, in a most delightful way. After the exercises, the North Conway teachers served refreshments to the. veterans. Notwithstanding the really violent rainstorm, so many citizens and friends of the school were present that Masonic Hall was filled. .
Nearly all of the schools held Christmas celebrations, to which the pupils' parents and friends were invited, the pupils giving recitations and reading compositions commemorative of the season, and little gifts being distributed.
At Kearsarge there was a beautiful Christmas tree, and some creditable reproductions of the reading books stories were read to the large number of the pupils' friends present.
Three Town Teachers' Meetings have been held this year, one at each of the three villages. There were excellent papers read and there was a good deal of helpful discussion on educa- tional topics. The State Teachers' Institute at Glen, and the Carroll County Teachers' Institutes at Sanbornville and at Mad- ison were well attended by the teachers of the town.
INTEREST SHOWN IN THE SCHOOLS.
The School Board have allowed the use of the school hall in the Conway school-house to the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, for their weekly meetings, until last year it was found needful to furnish the room for a second primary school; then a new arrangement was made, which the following courteous communication shows, and it shows also the obliging and appre- ciative spirit of the Society :
"The following resolutions were adopted by the Brother- hood of Andrew and Philip at their weekly meeting, March 16, 1903, on the use of the school hall :
-

ANNUAL REPORT
"WHEREAS, The School Board of Conway has seen fit to furnish and use a portion of the so-called school hall for regular classes.
"Resolved, That we hereby express our deep appreciation of the thoughtfulness and courtesy extended to us by them in the past.
"Resolved, That inasmuch as we have been permitted to use the room, and are still permitted to use a portion of it, we allow the school the use of the stove and furniture if necessary.
"Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded on our books, and a copy handed to the chairman of the Conway School Board.
"N. B. MACOMBER, President, "H. L. YEATON, Secretary."
Music has been taught in the Conway Village schools, the past year, by Miss Louise Hamblen. This teaching has been paid for by the pupils themselves, by means of public enter- tainments they gave. They are fortunate at this school in hav- ing two parlor organs in the school buikling.
Mrs. Katharine Suyder and Miss Sarah Charles have bought, with money raised by means of a minstrel show given by young ladies of North Conway, supplementary Readers (Miss Sarah Louise Arnold's "Stepping Stones to Literature") for their respective schools. These books cost $21
Mr. T. W. Weeks of New York City, and for the last twenty-five years a summer visitor to North Conway has (him- self) hired a man to set out trees on the grounds of the Mc- Millan school-house, and has planted Boston ivy to run up the walls of the building, paying some of the children, to encourage them to take care of it.
Miss Helen Eastman made a gift to the McMillan school, of the portraits of Abraham Lincoln and Louis Aggasaiz, the last term she taught there ; and she and Miss Katharine Osgood raised money (by an entertainment) to buy the neat bookcase that holds the valuable gift of the late Thomas Emerson-ninety volumes of supplementary reading and reference books.
Mr. Marshall Kallock has given a picture of the old Libby Prison of War Times, to No. 8 school, and it has been hung in the recitation room of the grammar school.
Melville Smart, of the American Book Company, has pre- sented the No. S school library with an excellent lot of biograph- ical and historical books. There are now about one hundred and twenty-five volumes in this fine collection, the most recent

additions being the complete works of Juliana Horatia Ewing and translations of the books of Johanna Spyri.
During the time that she has taken an active interest in the schools, Mrs. Mason of the School Board, besides paying for an assistant teacher in the grammar school for half of a term last year, has given two tables for stands for globes and books, and four settees for recitation seats to No. 8 school, also a portrait of Horace Greeley. with his autograph, valuable, be- cause it is one of the edition published years ago by the New York Tribune, and no longer obtainable. She has also given several books of supplementary reading to other schools of the town.
TEXT BOOKS.
We have changed the Physiology text-books this last year, the Readers in the Conway Center division of the town, and the Geographies, these last, as well as the Physiologies, being changed throughout the town. The Geographies that had pre- viously been in use were entire y out of date, no cognizance be- ing taken in them of modern geograhical changes or the United States' new possessions-besides the books being mostly in tatters.
We congratulate ourselves that although we manage to keep our scholars supplied with good and suitable text-books, the town of Conway pays yearly less per capita for school books than any other town in Carroll county. Any doubtful-minded person can further verify this statement by applying to the Superintendent of Public Instruction at Concord, or by con- sulting his Annual Reports.
APPROPRIATIONS.
We wish to express our appreciation of the public spirit shown by the town last year in increasing the appropriation for the support of schools to $2500. That sum has made it possi- ble to have thirty-two weeks of school-the longest school year we have ever had-though we have a new primary school at No. 13, and have had an assistant teacher in the North Conway grammar school, all last year.
And we earnestly urge the appropriation of the same sum, $2500, for the support of schools this year.
Each year the school buiklings need minor repairs. The school-house at No. 8 has settled somewhat, and the plastering was badly cracked in places, and likely at any time to fall off,
-
54
ANNUAL REPORT
so new plastering was done last fall, but it was so late in the season before a workman could be found to do it, that it was left white, instead of being stained like the other walls. This year all the walls in the building will need re-staining, as they have grown soiled and shabby in the four or five years since Mrs. Merriman paid for the staining's being done.
At the Kearsarge school-honse, the wall paper must be re- newed or-what would be better-the walls should be painted.
New blackboards should be put into the West Side school- house.
The woodshed at Redstone school-house should be enlarged eight or ten feet. Since the grammar school room was built on there, the shed has been found to be not nearly large enough.
It is needed that the woodshed of No. 13 also should be made larger, as now it is not large enough to hold a year's wood, and that is a great inconvenience. Shingling is needed at this school-house ; not of the whole roof, but of the old part of it, the roof of the original building that forms a half of the present building.
At Green Hill, the school-house walls should be painted, Minor repairs are needed at the Echo Lake and McMillan school-houses.
We ask that the usual sum for repairs on school-houses, $300, be appropriated for that purpose this year. .
None of the insurance policies on school buildings will have run out this year, so no money is needed for insurance.
We ask that the sum of $30 be raised for water taxes.
It is not pleasant to have to ask for an appropriation of $1000 to make the North Conway school-house habitable, but we are obliged to ask for it.
In the first place, the water-closets in the basement are an unsanitary nuisance, a constant menace to the health of the school children. Plumbers who -from the time the school-house was first opened-have always been sure of a little something in their line to do there, whether it were winter or summer, say that it is as reasonable to expect water to run up hill as to ex- pect any drainage of those water-closets from the basement. Then the supply of water is entirely insufficient for the closets and water pipes, and the condition has several times been con- demned by the Board of Health. The sinks with faucets for drinking water stand close beside the closets, and it is an out- rage to require decent boys and girls to go there for drinking water. To keep the conditions even bearable, has been an in-

cessent drain upon the resources of our funds, as we have had to be constantly repairing the pipes and digging out old cess- pools and making new ones. Then it has been demoralizing to the welfare of the school-this constant anticipation on the part of the scholars, of being dismissed for a holiday because there must be repairs made in the basement-and the School Board have been badly handicapped in their efforts to build the school up, and make it what it should be. What they have been able to accomplish has been in spite of the barbarous state of things.
There is only one pleasant school-room in the school-house, and that is the primary room, which has windows on the north and east sides, though the grammar school recitation room is not so very bad for a recitation room; the intermediate school- room with windows on the east side only, is not intolerable, but the grammar school-room certainly is. Its four windows face the west, and in winter allow of no sunshine's entering until afternoon, while at that season (in a room with windows on one side only) darkness comes on so early that before the afternoon session is closed it is difficult for the pupils to see to study. In summer time the broiling heat that pours in at those western windows during the afternoon sessions, makes studying very uncomfortable.
The Smith & Anthony Co.'s Ventilating and Heating Ap- paratus has entirely given out. There must be some means provided for heating the building, before there can be another winter term of school kept in it. In fact, there could have have been no winter school for these last two years if it had not been for the fire in the large box stove that has been set up in the entrance hall.
The very high ceilings in the building are sheathed with wood ; this wood ceiling has shrunk so that there are consider- able crevices, and this allows the heat to escape through the loose, open, single boarding, full of wide cracks, that forms the floor of the hall above. It is usually warmer up there of a cold day than it is in the school rooms below.
Now what can be done? The School Board's plan is this :
To lower the ceilings in the school rooms-not in the dressing rooms, entrance hall and vestibule-by two feet, (they would then be two feet and a half higher than those in the school-house at Conway Village-leaving an air space between the new ceiling and the present one :
To have steel sheathing for the new ceiling :
-
1
·
56
ANNUAL REPORT
To give up the Heating and Ventilating Apparatus, and set up box stoves in the four school rooms, using the chimneys we now have, and retaining the stove now in use in the hall : (at Conway Village school-house box stoves are used and the school-rooms have been perfectly comfortable through the severe cold weather of the last term)
To have four windows put in in the south side of the build- ing, two in the intermediate school-room, and two in the gram- mar room:
To give up the unsanitary water-closets and build a sub- stantial, good looking shed near the school building for earth- closets. The basement could then be used for a wood shed.
We have got estimates of the cost of these improvements. The new ceiling would cost 8500; the box stoves with funnels, and heating and radiating drums-which would about double the heating capacity -- and set up in place ready for use, $85 or $90; the four windows, $65 ; the shed for earth-closets, $175.
This foots up to $825 or $830, but work of this sort gen- erally costs more than it is expected to. We recommend-with the other changes-having a faucet for drinking water in the entrance hall, instead of having the drinking water in the basement. -
We have been advised that one of the furnaces of the Smith & Anthony Co.'s Heating and Ventilating Apparatus could be sold for $30 or $40. The other one would probably sell for enough (for junk ) to pay for removing it from the basement.
And in this connection we wish to say that the box stoves would not consume more than one-third of the wood that the Smith & Anthony Co.'s Heating and Ventilating Apparatus has, as is shown by the relative cost of the wood burned at No. 8 and No. 13 schools, though at No. 13 the scholars have been comfortably warm, and at No. 8 they haven't !
In fact there is nothing equal to the comfort of a big box stove in a school-house in the Conway winter climate. The whole school can gather around it and get warm. The little ones can dry their snowy mittens and overshoes under it, and big boys aud girls thaw out their frost-bitten fingers and toes and ears, with the least possible delay. And there's nothing like having had one of Smith & Anthony Co.'s Heating and Ventilating Apparatuses in use for several years, to make a School Board really appreciate all this.
Some of the citizens of North Conway would like to have steam heat for the No. 8 school-house, and we have got an
-
57
TOWN OF CONWAY.
estimate of what the cost would be. We are advised that the steam heating plant would cost $1500, and it would burn twenty tons of coal a year. Then the hire of a man to take care of it would amount to at least $100 a year. The School Board do not recommend this scheme.
We respectfully recommend that the School Committee be made the committee to attend to having the changes made in the No. 8 school-house. It is not that the School Committee aspire to the honor of having superintendence of the work, or claim to be experts as to the manner in which it should be done, but they must necessarily feel a genuine interest in its being well and faithfully done. No one else is subjected to so great vexation and worry as the School Board are by work of this sort's being faithlessly and therefore ill done.
Respectfully submitted, ABBIE M. D. BLOUIN, ELLEN M. MASON, C. P. BUZZELL, School Board of Conway.

AUDITORS' CERTIFICATE.
We, the undersigned, Auditors of the town of Conway, have examined the accounts of the Treasurer of the Conway Library, and find proper vouchers for all items of expenditure: Conway, N. H., Feb. 20, 1904.
H. B. COTTON, HIRAM H. DOW. Auditors for the town of Conway.
Library Trustees' Report.
The Trustees of your Public Library, while deeply conscious of the fact that the progress in extending its benefits has been slow, are encouraged to know that there has been during the past year a gradual increase in the number of books taken out of the Library.
There will be but one opinion about the value of a well equipped, well managed Public Library as an educational force in any community, always provided there is a general and well sustained public interest back of it. Education is the only light that guides or has guided humanity up from savagery to civilization. Diminish that light and progress is retarded, ex- tinguish it and civilization is blotted ont.
This being true, is it not the highest duty of every inhabi- tant of this town to use his or her influence and best efforts to awaken the highest possible public interest in our Public Libra- ry-not a petty. narrow interest, bounded by neighborhoods or sections-but a broad. generous, unselfish interest that shall be a living, active force, making for the enlightenment and up- building of humanity after we, of this generation are gone.
Remember that we can perform no greater service to hu- manity, than by lighting the lamp of knowledge, and keeping its flame undiminished.
The worst tyrants that mankind serves today, or has ever served, are ignorance and prejudice. These taskmasters have caused humanity to sweat blood, have wrung from mankind groans, and tears, and imprecations in all ages, and all coun- tries, and the end is not yet, and the end can be reached only by a general diffusion of knowledge.
In conclusion, we ask the voters, while raising money in town meeting, in generous sums, to build and repair roads and
62

bridges, lay drains, dig ditches, break roads, and even cut bushes that by far better be left growing by the roadside, not to neglect to raise something to support your greatest edu- cator-the Public Library.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT OF THE CONWAY BRANCH OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR YEAR ENDING JAN. 1, 1904.
The interest in both Library and Reading Room still con- tinues. The Library has been open for the exchange of books 104 days. The aggregate circulation of books has been 5548 volumes, of which 3705 were fiction, 1440 juvenile. and the re- mainder history, bioffraphy, travel, etc. The largest circulation on one eay was 100. on Feb. 21; the smallest. 18. May 6: the daily average was 53 9-26. 155 new cards have been issued, making 565 in all. Books have been given to the Library from time to iime by many different friends, among them Hon. C. A. Sulloway, who sent a complete set of 128 volumes of "Official Records of the Civil War;" Mr. J. E. Morrill, who gave over 100 volumes of Washington Documents, etc. ; Mr. Eliphalet Cloutman of Stoneham, Mass., who, with his sons, Eugene and Fred, gave about 20 volumes of fiction. The Conway Woman's Club also presented 55 volumes. The Trustees added 68 vol- umes. Magazines and papers have been generously contrib- uted to the Reading Room. Hon. A. C. Kennett subscribed for St. Nicholas and Youth's Companion ; Mrs. Anna Simmons, The World's Work ; and other papers and magazines are being given by The American Baptist Publishing Society: Mr. O C. Johnson, Mrs. J. E. Potter, Miss Winnie Blaisdell. Mrs. H. B. Fifield, Mrs. E. A. Fifield, Mrs. F. H. Lougee, Mrs. A. C. Kennett, Mrs. H. D. Davis, and others.
The Reading Room was open every day from July 1st to Oct. 1st, the daily papers and White Mountain Reporter being on the tables, besides Among the Clouds and many other papers. The daily papers are still on the tables each Library day. Books, magazines and papers are still needed to keep up the interest in the Library. We trust our friends both at home and abroad will bear this in mind and from time to time remember us as heretofore.
