If the "Morrill Bill" so called, for the better sanitation of school houses, passes the state senate as it already has passed the house, you may find yourselves in the midst of the school year obliged to close some of your school buildings until they are properly prepared. Would it not be better
64
policy to make such expenditure upon the few buildings that it seemed best to open, to carry out the plan of consolidation mentioned above, as would fit them to satisfactorily meet the law's requirements, rather than to attempt to "patch" all the buildings that unquestionably need much repairing?
Your attention has already been called to the seriousness of the matter of irregular attendance, and I have no doubt you will treat of the matter in your report.
The supply of text-books is very inadequate. It is im- perative that a considerable sum be expended for regular text-books this next year, and much more for supplementary books. Without the latter the teachers cannot do the ef- fective teaching I am asking them to do.
I would recommend that the old double seats gradually be consigned to the wood pile, and that new seats whenever purchased, be single land adjustable. .
I would further recommend that you adopt the policy of gradually replacing the old wooden blackboards with slate; for the reason that the painted blackboard at its best, is not satisfactory nor economical; that the light reflection from the painted surface is more injurious to the eyes than that from the slate, and that the slate is far more durable.
I trust that my suggestions will be received in the spirit they are intended. I have no other purpose in making them, than to secure what I feel is for the best good of the chil- dren of Bedford. To ask for less than that would not meet the approval of the thinking people of the town.
I desire to testify of the courtesy with which I have been treated by every member of the board, and of the cordiality received from the citizens in general.
F. S. LIBBEY, Superintendent.
