REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD.


.


At the annual district meeting held March 6 Mr. Eddy W. Stevens was elected moderator. Mr. Edmund B. Hull was elected clerk. Mrs. Bertha E. French was elected member of the schoolboard for the ensuing three years. Miss Mary E. Manning was elected treasurer for the en ---- suing year.


At the organization of the board Mr. Arthur W. Davis was chosen chairman, Mrs. Fannie L. Shepard purchasing agent, Mrs. Bertha E. French secretary.


The district was divided into three sub-districts as here- tofore for special supervision and furnished needed sup- plies to the several schools as follows: Nos. 1, 2 and 6 to Mrs. Shepard, Nos. 3, 4, 5 and II to Mr. Davis, Nos. 8, 9 and I0 to Mrs. French.


At the close of the spring term we received with much regret the resignation of Mrs. Shepard as a member of the school board. Her wide experience as a teacher, and her able advice and counsel to the teachers makes her loss keenly felt to all concerned.


The schools have been broken up more this past year than usual by illness among the pupils. Nearly all have made up the time lost, so they have had their full quota of schooling.


We have felt that the schoolrooms should be cleaned spring and fall but have hesitated about doing so, not knowing what the sentiment of the town might be in the matter. Below will be found an estimate of the money required by law for the ensuing year :
