WILLIAM MELENDY, Auditor.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.
The annual meeting of the district was held in the town house March 8, 1917. Mr. Edmund B. Hull was elected moderator, Mr. Frank E. Manning clerk and Miss Mary E. Manning treasurer for the ensuing year. It was voted that the town auditors, when elected, audit the accounts of the school district.
Mr. William S. Manning was elected a member of the school board for the ensuing three years.
The school board organized as follows: Chairman, Bertha E. French; secretary, William Melendy.
We are still in the supervisory district with New Boston and Goffstown. During the summer we received with regret the resignation of William L. MacDonald as super- intendent, and Howard L. Winslow was chosen to succeed him.
It has been the aim of the school board to change the teachers in the schools as little as possible, so we have retained the former teachers when we could.
We are still endeavoring to bring the school buildings up to the required standard in sanitation, heating, etc. A new closet has been built at No. 5, and a jacket put on the stove at No. 6. The supply of slate blackboard has been en- larged. No. 2 has been painted inside and out; No. 4 has been painted outside, two new doors have been put in to replace the broken ones, and the back of the woodshed re- paired. A new roof was put on one side of the shed at No. 5, and No. 9 has been shingled.
There has been an unusual amount of glass broken in the schoolhouses the past year, especially in Nos. 4 and 6.
We hereby call the attention of the voters of the district to an estimate of the amount of money that will be needed the coming year to meet the requirements of the law.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Board of the Citizens of Bedford :
I hereby submit a report of the schools of Bedford, not an annual report, for under the revision of the law the school year does not end until August 31, 1918, and I did not assume the supversion of your schools on full time, until October 15, 1917.
I found the schools opening up well, fairly well supplied with text books and equipment and with a manifest desire on the part of the School Board to improve the physical sur- roundings of the pupils as fast as possible with the means at their disposal.
Last years' report of the superintendent contains much which I desire to emphasize. Bedford is maintaining more schools that she can afford, and continue to keep them up to a satisfactory standard in repair and equipment, and to pro- vide them with trained teachers.
The problem of securing good teachers is ever before us and will grow more perplexing during the coming years, since the enrollment of normal schools and teacher training schools has fallen off from 20 to 50 per cent. Such towns as Bedford, where teachers are paid small salaries, will be the first to suffer. We must ever be on the lookout for strong local teachers, and when we have secured good ones to make every effort to keep them. As we see it, relief can only come through increased salaries to correspond with the present increased cost of living. This period is a period of extraordinary effort and sacrifice. School boards and citizens should tackle the problem of higher salaries. They must realize that the better the teacher, the better the school, and the better the school the stronger the nation to carry the burden of war.

"America now in her hour of real testing is reaping the harvest of her sowing. The money she has put into schools is paying big dividends now in a fine array of intelligent. alert, efficient citizenry, who in camp and factory, on farm and field, in home and office, in council and commerce, are doing their bit. Through no other agency than our schools could a people so widely scattered and so gloriously. con · glomerate, be called so quickly, so closely, so unitedly as curs has been in this distressful emergency. 'Tis the school house that stands by the flag! Let the nation stand by the school."
Your former superintendent advocated the establishment of a Junior High school at Bedford Centre, which should provide for all of the seventh and eighth grade pupils in the town. This, I believe to be the best step for improvement of the schools that Bedford could take. Your former superin- tendent also outlined to the voters the manner of getting financial aid from the state, and I again call your attention to the fact that a part of our state aid money is received for average attendance and that it therefore behooves every one having the control of a school child to see that the child is in school whenever its health will allow. We have made a determined effort on our part to keep all children in school, and the State Attendance Officer has made some calls where it would seem that the parents would not do their duty.
A systematic program of repairs is being carried out by your School board. Numbers 2 and 3 are the next schools that ought to receive attention, while Number 4 should have its smoke-begrimed paint cleaned, its ceiling whitened and the wall paper renewed.
In conclusion let me acknowledge courteous treatment by the pupils and teachers, and continued patience on the part of the School board while I was endeavoring to get an ade- quate understanding of our ever increasing and perplexing problem's.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD L. WINSLOW.
