SCHOOL REPORT.
DISTRICT NO. 1.
Three terms, taught by Mrs. M. E, Tenney. This is the first school in town in point of excellence. The teacher is well known as one of long experience and great thoroughness. No scholar was tar- dy during the year. We wish all our schools were nearer this model.
DISTRICT NO. 2.
Two terms, summer and fall. Taught by Miss Jennie S. Rogers, an energetic and accomplished teacher. This was one of the best schools in town. The first term was rather discouraging to the teacher, owing to the decline in attendance on account of sickness. During the second term the attendance was better. Both terms were pleasant and profitable.
DISTRICT NO. 3.
One term, summer. Taught by Miss Josie Steele. The term only lasted five weeks, which gave little chance for great improvement. The scholars worked hard to improve their opportunities and their young teacher showed herself thoroughly qualified for her work.
DISTRICT NO. 4.
One term, winter. Taught by Miss Anna E. Sloane. Only three scholars attended school. I attempted to visit the school at the be- ginning of the term, but found that the school was not in session. The term closed unexpected, so I did not visit it.
DISTRICT NO. 5.
One term, summer. Taught by Miss Gertrude A. Eastman. This school was very backward. Most of the scholars were French, and have had only limited advantages. Miss Eastman was a good teacher and worked hard, and the scholars showed a great desire to learn.
17
DISTRICT NO. 6.
One term, winter. Taught by Miss Ada M. Jameson. The school was small and the scholars backward. The teacher labored faith- fully and fair progress was made.
DISTRICT NO. 7.
Two terms. summer and winter. The summer term was taught by Miss Belle A. Milton, a graduate of the N. H. Normal school. Ow- ing to other duties on the day this school closed, I did not give time enough to the school to make a fair estimate of the work done. The parents in the district generally consider the term successtul, and hope Miss Milton may be engaged to teach here again. The ad- vanced school was taught by Miss Vina A. Dole, a very successful teacher, who was greatly loved by her scholars.
During the winter term, the primary department was taught by Miss Adell Kimball. In spite of the unfitness of the school-room, and the consequent irregular attendance of the scholars, good prog- ress was made. The advanced school was taught by Alice Webster, but owing to the condition of the school-room (which was unfit for school purposes) the attendance was very irregular. The teacher was obliged to return to her home before the close of the term on ac- count of sickness.
DISTRICT NO. 8.
Two terms, summer and winter. The summer term was taught by Mrs. Eva Swett. Very good order in the school, and very good progress made. The winter school was taught by Mr. O. E Kings- bury. The pupils made good progress.
DISTRICT NO. 9.
Two terms, summer and fall. The summer term was taught by Miss Florence B. Emerson, and was not a success. The fall term was taught by Mrs. Lizzie L. Hobart, and was very pleasant and profitable.
DISTRICT NO. 10.
Two terms, summer and fall. The summer terni was taught by Miss May I. Clough, a teacher of some experience and good ability. The fall term was taught by Miss Martha E. Hurlburt, who had a large school and did excellent work. This is one of the most prom- ising schools in town
DISTRICT NO. 11.
Three terms. summer, fall and winter. The summer term was taught by Miss Amy Hoyt. As the teacher failed to notify me, I was not in at the close of her school. From what I did see of it, I should judge the progress was fair.
The fall and winter terms were taught by Mrs. Eva Swett. Good progress and good order. The district are well pleased with the work done. Mrs. Swett is one of our best teachers.
DISTRICT NO. 12.
One term, summer. Taught by Miss Josie Steele. The scholars
18
were very young and very few. The teacher did nicely with her lit- tle flock, and would, no doubt, with a larger one.
DISTRICT NO. 13.
One term, summer. Taught by Miss Lora A. Gates. There were some fine scholars. But one boy (if I may be allowed to advise) would do well to study "Gove's Good Morals and Gentle Manners." It is to be hoped that after studying this book he would know how to treat his superiors.
DISTRICT NO. 14.
Two terms, summer and fall. The summer term was taught by Mrs. Mary Sanborn, a teacher of long experience and good ability. The scholars studied hard and made good progress, especially in Grammar and Composition.
Miss Alice S. Webster taught the fall term and took up the work where Mrs. Sanborn laid it down. Teacher and scholars worked hard and proved that their labor was not in vain. This is one of the most advanced schools in town
DISTRICT NO. 15. No school.
DISTRICT NO. 16.
One term, summer. Taught by Miss Etta Leavitt. This school has a record to be proud of. Seven out of the nine scholars have their names on the Roll of Honor. The school was backward, but owing to the faithful labors of the teacher, very good progress was made.
DISTRICT NO. 17.
Two terms, summer and fall. The summer term was taught by Miss Jennie M. Kimball. The scholars were young and generally backward. Miss Kimball did as well as could be expected.
The fall term was taught by Miss Minnie L. Wells. This teacher had not only the backwardness of the scholars to contend with, but in addition. had too many broken panes in the windows and too much water in the wood. In spite of all these drawbacks, Miss Wells won the hearts of her scholars, and proved herself a good teacher.
DISTRICT NO. 18.
Two terms. summer and fall. Taught by Miss Etta F. Merrill with good success. This district has the best school house in town, and some of the smartest scholars.
DISTRICT NO. 19.
One term, fall. Taught by Miss Gertrude A. Eastman. A com- fortable school house, a good teacher and industrious scholars made the school a success.
DISTRICT NO. 20.
Two terms, fall and winter. Taught by Miss Lora A. Gates. The school contained some good material, and fair progress was made.
19
Miss Gates labored at a disadvantage, teaching in her own district with scholars nearly her own age.
DISTRICT NO. 21.
One term, fall. Taught by Miss Nellie L. Kilton. This is another of the backward schools. The teacher did well, and was highly ap- preciated in the district. One little boy in this school was the best reader in town for his years.
