At a special meeting of the district held March 31, 1909, it was voted to dismiss the several articles in the war- rant and continue this year under the old law.
Our schools have kept thirty-two weeks during the year with the exception of No. 10, where the spring term was closed two weeks earlier than usual on account of sick- ness. At No. 11 during the winter term there was a loss of three days caused by the illness of the teacher. Miss Alice Wiggin was secured as a substitute for the last three weeks.
We feel that as a whole the schools have made good progress. The teachers have been honest and conscientious in their efforts to a large degree. We have been much pleased with the marked interest shown in birds and wild
68
flowers in several of the schools. At the opening of the fall term it was deemed best to close No. 7 and open No. 6. The pupils in No. 7 were divided between Nos. 1 and 6.
On the 3d of Dec., 1909, our community was shocked to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Milton N: Flint. In his death we feel that the schools have lost a true friend, and the town a loyal citizen.
Dec. 5, 1909, the school board met and appointed Mary E. Manning, treasurer, to fill out the unexpired term of Milton N. Flint.
We would call the attention of the parents to the large number of absent and tardy marks. While there is an im- provement over some years, there is yet much to be desired. A word of praise should be spoken for No. 7, as there were no tardy marks for the spring term. Another thing that appeals to us is the lack of interest exhibited in visiting the schools. While our total number of visitors may seem quite large, a very large per cent. of these visits have been made upon some special exercises, or at the closing exer- cises of the various terms. We do most earnestly ask our citizens to visit the schools during the working hours and see the methods employed and the interest shown by teacher and pupils alike. The board feels deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness of our citizens in saving so many of the school supplies at the time the town house was burned.
In accordance with school laws, as changed by laws of 1909, school boards are required to state in their annual report an estimate of the sums of money which will be re- quired for the various items. Below will be found an esti- mate of the sums needed.
For teachers salaries $2,800.00
