Report of School Board.
To the citizens of the town of Gilmanton the school board submit their annual report. The whole number of schools supported the past year has been eleven, instead of twelve last year. Owing to the small number of scholars in the Gale school, it was thought best to transport them to the Sanborn and Smith Meeting House schools. Whole num- ber of scholars attending school during the year in all schools has been 174. Average attendance 162, which is quite a falling off from number reported last year, 187. This is accounted for by quite a number of families with children removing from town, while a few others have passed beyond the school age and entered some higher school, or else have gone out into the world for themselves. Number of different teachers employed during the year has been fourteen, twelve female and two male. Our teach- èrs as a whole have done very satisfactory work, all seem- ing to realize the importance and dignity of their calling. It will be noticed by reference to the annexed tables that we are still maintaining three schools with an average at- tendance of six scholars or less. The particular location of these three schools, being quite remote from any other school, seems to be a handicap to uniting them with any cther schools. The one great obstacle in managing schock affairs in Gilmanton is the large area of the town, as com- pared with the small number of scholars therein. It is very gratifying to your school board to be able to report an im- provement in the regular attendance. Regularity in school work is one of the seven cardinal virtues of a good school. Tardiness is a direct injury to the whole school. The cor- fusion of hurrying to seats, gathering together of books. etc., by tardy ones, at a time when all should be at study, cannot fail to impede the progress of those who are regu- lar and prompt in attendance. The rule requiring prompt
50

and regular attendance is demanded for the good of the whole school. It is, therefore, a rule for the government of the schools, and must be regarded as proper and reason- able. Pupils may be forbidden to remain absent from school without a satisfactory excuse. They may be required to bring written excuses for absence. Continued or repeat- ed absence of one of a class are not only injurious to the absentee, but if allowed beyond a certain point are calcu- lated to demoralize those who attend and derange the orderly instruction of the teacher .. It is the welfare of the whole school, and not the welfare of a single person, that must be considered when making a rule for the government of pupils.
It will be noticed that the bill for books this year con- siderably exceeds that of any previous year. It has been customary in years past, when an exchange of books was to be made, to do so with only one series at a time. It was thought best this year by a majority of the board to ex- change readers, grammars, physiologies, and writing books, all of which makes quite an expense.
REPAIRS.
Our school buildings are in very good repair. One or two will need shingling this spring, and painting. We have about $200 repair money in the treasury, which will prob- ably be enough to meet all demands the coming year. Your school board are very hopeful that the district will continue to raise money sufficient to maintain thirty weeks of school the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY A. WIGHT, ALICE M. MORGAN, FRANK N. MERRILL,
School Board of Gilmanton.
