READSBORO, VT., FEB. 14, 1901.
TO THE TOWN OF READSBORO :-
In my annual report as Superintendent of schools, I submit to you the following:
I have visited the schools when I thought conditions and needs required, and have done all I could, although that is but little, for the advancement of the schools in the town of Readsboro. The following is a brief retros- pect of the work in the schools.
Dist. No. 1 .- Advancement has been made and things are encouraging.
No. 2 .- Small attendance, but the work has been faithfully performed.
No. 4 .- Improvement has been made-marked ad- vancement.
No. 5 .- The grammar school has had a year of com- parative success. Everyone seems well pleased.
The intermediate department has made rapid ad- vancement.
The primary department has been very successful in the work.
No. 6 .- The attendance has been good and the work has been faithfully performed.
No. 7 .- Taking the year as a whole, much advance- ment has been made.
All the schools are in a condition where rapid ad- vancement may be made.
Yours respectfully,
FRED'K T. KENYON,
Superintendent of Schools.
