28 SCHOOL REPORT.


To the Citizens of Auburn :


We present for your consideration the following report of the school work for the past year :


In compliance with the new law requiring the school board to attend to the enumeration of the children between the ages of five and sixteen years in the district, Nathaniel D. Tilton was appointed to do the work. He returned 127 cards, bearing the names of 64 boys and 63 girls, with answers to the pre- scribed questions. Heretofore the selectmen have been required to return the number of children, leaving the school board to do the rest of the work. Now the cards tell who the children are, and the registers whether they are in school.


The number of those enumerated who have not attended school in the district, is nine-seven boys and two girls. Some of these have attended school elsewhere, and some being less than eight years of age were not required to be in school.


The number of scholars registered was 128-62 boys and 66 girls.


The number of scholars not less than five years of age who have attended school not less than two weeks was 125-62 boys and 63 girls.


The number under five years of age was three, and over sixteen was four.


The aggregate attendance of scholars in all the schools in the district was 8,588 days. If all the scholars had been per- fect in attendance it would have been over 10,000 days. The loss of one-seventh of the school money in this way is to be regretted, even though a considerable part of it was caused by sickness.


A good number have earned a place upon the roll of honor, and others were almost perfect in attendance. We are espec- ially pleased that so many living a mile or more from school have done so well in this respect, and trust they have received a recompense for the effort which they have made.


We believe that all the teachers have endeavored to do good work according to their ideas of what ought to be done, but some seemed to possess greater fitness, either natural or ac- quired, than others, and therefore worked more wisely ; while some may have had more to encourage them to do their best. One has said that " A good school is where teacher and scholars work together, and work with a will." When the parents, teacher and scholars do their best, we may always expect good results.


29


If the district would appropriate sufficient money for the support of schools so that the literary fund could be kept until another year it would be a great convenience to the school board, and as the town would have the use of the literary fund it would not lose by so doing. Then it would be known in the spring how much money there would be, and the work planned accordingly. If there had been such an arrangement here it would have prevented a deficiency of $26.33, caused by the literary fund falling from $143.51 in 1894 to 599.12 in 1895. We expected it to be less than it had been, and laid plans accordingly, but were not prepared for so great a reduc- tion. We could not learn how much it would be until No- vember, when it was too late to remedy the mistake.


The usual slight repairs have been made. No. 6 school house has been painted inside, and No. I has been painted outside and inside, and otherwise repaired. Circumstances conspired to prevent the completion of the work, but enough of the repair money remains to pay for seats and desks, which can easily be procured and put in place in the spring before the schools commence. A teacher's desk, a new stove and stove-pipe will be needed, for which there is not sufficient money.


Several of the school houses would be benefited by paint, and perhaps some other repairs.


Respectfully submitted. FRANK B. COULT, · FRANCES A. GRIFFIN, School Board.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND LIBRARIAN OF THE GRIFFIN PUBLIC LIBRARY AND MUSEUM.


There have been 21 volumes added to the Library since our last report, which we hope will be found interesting and in- structive. The Trustees find it very easy to purchase books of fiction which in many cases are worthless or worse than worthless ; but to purchase such books as will be both inter- esting and instructive is not a very easy thing to accomplish. The habit of reading merely to amuse is not wholly confined to the young. The tendency of such reading is either for the memory to retain such stories as are not worth remembering, or to acquire that careless habit of forgetting what ought to be remembered.


Perhaps our Library contains as large a proportion of books of history, scientific works and biography as libraries will av. erage, but such books are not called for as much as we wish they might be,


The building has been finished and underpinned, the kitch- en mostly furnished, a show case has been purchased to put valuable relics and curiosities in, and placed in the museum room. Also much other material has been moved to the same room. The remainder can now be easily removed, so that the old museum room can be used for the Library as designed.


Mr. Wm. C Harris was employed for a short time to ar- range and classify the minerals before removing to the new room.


Some valuable donations have been made to the museum by Mr. Charles P. Wilcomb of San Francisco, California.


Some grading will need be done about the building in the spring ; then we hope it will be both a pleasure and profit for the citizens of this and adjoining towns to visit the museum, which is to be forever free to citizens of this town, and only a small sum is charged to admit others. We also hope that not only the citizens of this town, but all those whose birth- place was in Auburn who have taken a residence in other places and accumulated wealth will find it a pleasure to make donations both to the library and museum.
