A true copy of Warrant-Attest :
JOANNA B. NESMITH, JOHN W. M. WORLEDGE, School Board.
SCHOOL REPORT.
The School board respectfully submit the twenty-first annual report of the School district.
A Spring term of 12 weeks and a Fall term of 15 weeks has been taught in six districts. Nos. ? and 6 each had a fund term of 5 weeks and No. 4 had 2 4-5 weeks fund school.
The three children living in district No. ? were conveyed to Kilrea school, Derry, at the town's expense. As there were three children from Derry attending school in town the tuitions were considered equal.
It has been the aim of the School board to secure experienced teachers and, when a teacher has proved her worth, to retain her services.
The progress made during the year has been. on the whole, quite satisfactory. The school at No. 1 has been badly broken up both terms ; in the Spring by Scarlet Fever, and the Fall by Whooping Cough, but the closing examinations showed good work done by the children who were in attendance.
An attempt has been made to continue the good work of former years in regard to quiet and order during school hours and we find the pupils in one of the schools very proud of the fact that during the whole year not one of their number has been excused from the room.
The great fault in our schools is the irregular attendance of some of the pupils. Our school year is short, the number of years a child can attend school are few and parents should see that their children are kept in school all the time it is in session.
This fault has become so common all over our state that it has been considered wise by the State Superintendent to appoint an "Inspector of Schools" whose duty it is to visit the schools of each town, learn from the registers the names of habitual absentees, visit them in their homes, learn their reasons for not being at school and deal with them as directed by the laws of
40
the state. Let us see to it that when he makes his annual visit here he will find no work awaiting him.
It is hoped by the School board that the people of the town may think it well to place new desks in one of the School houses this year.

REPORT OF THE ANTIQUARIAN COMMITTEE.
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ANTIQUARIAN COMMITTEE.
Interest in local history and in all objects which illustrate the customs, conditions of life, and achievements of former genera- tions is sure to increase in our country as years pass. We do well to treasure whatever relates to the earlier days of our New England towns, and to preserve for the future whatever is sig- nificant in their present history.
A recent illustration of expensive indifference to historical documents is furnished by the town of Hudson, whose ancient charter in some way got into private hands and was sold at auc- tion ; a public spirited individual lately purchased it at a cost of $50, and restored it to the town which ought never to have lost it.
Several town libraries in the state, among them those of Au- burn, Candia, Conway, Dover, Newport and Rindge, have a room or rooms devoted to historic and antiquarian articles, natural his- tory specimens, and curios. In some others a special effort is made to preserve all publications of local historic interest. Chester's library has a collection of views of old homesteads and public buildings in the town-an example which we hope to fol- low if citizens will help by furnishing pictures.
We have received from Mrs. A. W. Farmer a daguerreotype picture of the church in this town taken about 45 years ago-of which we intend to have an enlarged copy m'ade.
A valuable gift to the town through this committee is on the way, and we regret not being able to report its receipt at this time.

The Thirty-Sixth Annual Report OF THE
Trustees of Nesmith Library
For the Year Ending February 15, 1907.
The trustees are glad to report a decided increase in the number of patrons of the Library and a still larger increase in the number of books taken out. The statistics in regard to circulation will be found in the Librarian's report. We are sure that nothing would please the founders and supporters of libraries better than to have their gifts appreciated, and utilized in the freest and full- est manner possible.
In this connection we wish to remind the residents of the town that the Reading Room is open for their benefit on every Library day. To encourage a more frequent use of it the trustees have placed on the table three standard monthlies. The Century, Harper's and St. Nicholas. To help the public in the selection of books our librarian has prepared a supplement-in type writ- ten form-to the printed catalogue which gives a list of all the new books received up to date. This is found to be a great con- venience to those who wish to see at a glance all the additions to the Library since the catalogue was printed. For this voluntary service the trustees have already extended to her a hearty vote of thanks.
We are indebted to Mrs. Nellie M. Baldwin Farmer, of Arling- ton Heights, Mass., for a gift of twenty-one books and many back numbers of the Ladies' Home Journal. To her and all others who have helped the Library by sundry gifts of books and papers we extend our hearty thanks.
Respectfully submitted by ALBERT WATSON. For the Trustees.
