ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Superintending School Committee
OF THE
TOWN of SALEM.
Your committee would submit the following report of the schools during the past year.
DISTRICT NO. 1.
FRANK N. UPTON, Prudential Committee.
This school has sustained three terms of school, with good attendance, order and progress in the various studies.
Miss Nettie R. Jones taught the spring term of nine weeks, the fall term of eleven weeks, and began the win- ter term of thirteen weeks, but left during the term on account of her health and the school is now in progress being taught by Mrs. Senie S. Swinson, an experienced and successful teacher.

SCHOOL REPORT.
DISTRICT No. 3.
JOHN CONLY, Prudential Committee.
There were two terms in this district during the year, taught by Miss Abbie R. Randall The first from May 11 to July 2, 8 weeks, the other 10 weeks, closing Nov. 6.
Whole number .f scholars in each term 15. Average 13. Miss Randall is a quiet but faithful teacher and good progress was made.
DISTRICT NO 4.
G. A GOODHUE, Prudential Committee.
There were three terms in this district. The first term of 7 weeks began May 11, taught by Miss Hattie S. Platts. This term was fairly successful in progress but somè scholors gave the teacher great annoyance and the order was not such as to promote the highest success. The influence of parents, I fear was not altogether in harmony with good order in the school room. The sec- ond and third terms were taught by Miss Mittie Batch- elder, each term being 8 weeks, the second commencing Sept. 4 and the third Nov. 30. These terms were very successful and the order of the school was good. Pupils in first term 25, second 26, third 21. Average 22, 22, 18.
DISTRICT NO. 5.
LINCOLN HUNT, Prudential Committee.
There were two terms during the year. One begin- ning May 18 of 6 weeks, the other commencing Oct. 5, 18 weeks.
No. of scholars first term 13, second 13. Average first term 13, second 9.
Good progress was made in the school during both terms.
The first term was taught by Miss Minnie E Stevens and the second term by Miss Jennie E. Coaker.

This school has enjoyed excellent instruction and has made good progress.
DISTRICT NO 7.
JAMES L. BROWN Prudential Committee.
This district has sustained two terms of school, one of eight weeks in the spring with 7 scholars, with an aver- age attendance of 7. Another of 14 weeks in the fall with 9 scholars, with an average attendance of 7.
Both terms were taught by the same teacher, Mrs. Senie Swinson. She is experienced and was success- ful in her work.
DISTRICT NO. 8.
EZRA B. HALL Prudential Committee
There were three terms of school, one of 8 weeks in the spring taught by Lulu Washburn. This was a good term of school. Scholars 17. Average attendance 16.
The second term began in the fall, taught by Miss Effie L Gould, but at the end of five weeks closed be- cause of disorder and lack of moral support. Number of pupils 19. Average attendance 17.
The third term is now in progress under the instruc- tion of Miss Mittie Batchelder, your committee believes it will be a successful term. It will be about seven weeks in length; whole number of pupils 18.
28
SCHOOL REPORT.
DISTRICT NO. 9.
CHARLES HUTCHINGS Prudential Committee.
There were two terms of school during the year taught by Harriet E. Crosby. One of 10 weeks in the spring and another in the fall of 12 weeks. First term, number of pupils 5, average attendance 2, second term 6, average 4.
This school made good advancement during the year.
DISTRICT NO. 10.
JOSEPH E LONG Prudential Committee.
Two terms of school were taught in this district by Anna C. Hemphill There was good order and good progress in the branches taught.
The first term began April 13 and continued 11 weeks with 21 pupils and an average attendance of 17. The second term commenced Sept. 7 and kept 11 weeks with 22 scholars and an average attendance of 17.
You will see by this report that successes have been the rule and if there have been partial failures they have been the exceptions.
The town is to be congratulated upon the success of our schools.
Your committee feels that they have been fully up to the average in respect to order, moral deportment and progress made in study. Your committee would urge greater effort on the part of parents that the children attend continuously and that they go in season to be present at the opening of the school, much is lost by ir- regular attendance and tardiness. Some parents should be more careful to encourage their children to observe the rules of school and also to be more studious. Let us learn to be very helpful to our teachers, they need our sympathy and support. They are dealing not only with one family of children as we are, but with many families at the same time and they need our co-operation to se- cure success in the school room.
