SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Piermont School Board :
Our schools have been in session this year, thirty-three weeks, except in East Piermont, where the winter term is omitted. The percent. of attendance has been above the average in most schools, and only at Clay Hollow, has the school had to close for stormy weather or sickness. Measles did its work so thoroughly last year that we have had no epidemic to hinder the work. As the term is not finished at the Rodimon and Clay Hollow districts, the record of attendance, etc., is not complete.
We have purchased copies of the Colonial History of New Hampshire and a few new reading books, so that the supply now seems fully adequate to our needs, and for the coming year not so large an appropriation should be raised for supplies, in my opin- ion.
I am disappointed that the slate blackboards which are order- ed have not yet arrived. They are sent direct from the quarries in Pennsylvania and the severe winter may have caused the de- lay. When they do arrive the village schools and River Road No. I. will have the long needed improvements. The River Road No. I. school house needs to be re-shingled this year, otherwise our school houses are in good condition.
One feature of the schools in our town that we can be justly proud of is the excellent reading from the first grade through to the ninth. I congratulate the teachers on the success of their ef- forts.
Here is one of my experiences : A parent complained to me that he thought it unjust for the teacher to keep his son in at re- cess for a week or more just for mis-spelling a word, and drop- ping a pencil on the floor. He wanted his son to be obedient, and was perfectly willing to have him punished if he was not. I prom- ised to look into the matter. My next visit was within a few days and when recess time came this boy (whom we will call Isaac) remained in with two others. Without consulting the teacher I called Isaac to me and the following conversation took place :
Supt .- What are you staying in for, Isaac?"
Isaac .- "To write my spelling words."
Supt .- "What else are you staying in for?"
Isaac .- "Because I stayed out sliding."
The teacher here explained that these three boys stayed out sliding twenty minutes after the recess bell rang one afternoon and
29 .
were losing their recesses a week to make up, and "while they were in they wrote their spelling words if they had mis-spelled any. Supt .- "You told your father you stayed in to write spelling words; why didn't you tell him about the coasting?"
Isaac .- "I did."
Supt .- "Is your father deaf, so that he didn't hear about the coasting?"
Isaac .- "He is a little deaf; I don't think he heard me,"
Supt .- "Do you think you can speak loud enough to make your father hear that you are staying in recesses for one week because you did not come in when you heard the bell, and that you write spelling words to fill in the time?"
Isaac .- "Yes."
Supt .- "Will you promise to make it right with your father?" Isaac .- "Yes."
Isaac is a good boy, but boys will be boys, and don't you par- ents take their complaints too seriously.
For next year I recommend to the School Board that the pu- pils in the Brook Road district be carried to the village school, and that a comfortable wagon be provided. This I recommend for two reasons: The smallest children have a very long walk to the Brook Road school, and would be carried hardly any farther to the vil- lage; also there is not a family in the district now sending child- ren of school age, that has not in recent years kept children away from that school, in somecases in defiance of the law, be- cause they were dissatisfied with the teacher provided by the School Board.
We were sorry to lose Miss Sheehan's good teaching from the intermediate room in the village, but the misunderstanding about her salary could not be adjusted, and there was no opportunity for her to take the New Hampshire State examinations till next June. This difficulty will be avoided by the printed contracts which the Board have for use in hiring teachers in the future.
This winter term has been exceedingly hard for school visiting because of the cold and very windy weather, and in some districts drifted roads The whole number of visits made by the Superin- tendent, however, is 73. I wish to thank the School Board for their help and friendliness.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUISE S. HORTON.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
We feel as though our town report would not be quite complete without mentioning the library. Two years ago, and while a pas- tor of this place, the Rev. A. R. Crewe, now of Bradford, offered to catalogue the library free, but nothing was done. Last year our Superintendent of Schools, in her annual report, again mention- ed the advantage to our teachers and scholars of having it classi- fied and kept in order, and at the town meeting a vote was taken to raise fifty (50) dollars for that purpose. A new board of trus- tees was appointed, consisting of Ludelle Ames, Mamie H. Robie and Louise S. Horton. The services of Miss Alethea Meader, of Lewiston, Me., were engaged to catalogue and put in shape the books. It was found the room in the town hall reserved for the library was not adequate. The rooms formerly occupied by the New England Telephone Co. were rented of H. E. Morrison, mak- ing a nice reading room, and one room for books alone. Mrs. J.
O. Evans was engaged as librarian. Through the generosity of a friend, ten dollars was handed to the trustees to help keep the library open more hours, as a test, to see if the public would take advantage and make more use of the books and magazines at their disposal. Miss Eva Metcalf was chosen assistant librarian. The library has been open Tuesday afternoon and evening, Friday af- ternoon and evening, also the usual Saturday afterday. This has been done without any extra expense to the town, as more money given by our friend and other friends have contributed that, with one entertainment has defrayed the expense of extra help. There have been over sixty new books bought, and some of the best magazines of the day have been contributed. From November 1st until the present time there have been 1125 books loaned, averag- ing about 75 per week. We feel as though the test has proved a success, and we sincerely hope there will be means to continue what has just commenced.
