Recommendations. First, that hitching posts be placed in
26
the school grounds as recommended last year by Superin- tendent Bruce and so located as to be easily accessible in winter.
Second, that a few well selected maps be provided. They are much needed. Maps of good quality last many years.
Third, that the superintendent be authorized to issue in pamphlet or card form a list of all books and supplies owned or furnished by the town, with such suggestions as seem needful. The expense would be nominal. The list would save much time to teachers and classes, showing the teacher at a glance what books are available for new classes and for reference.
In Conclusion. With active young business men, who take an interest, for directors, with earnest teachers and studious pupils, the outlook is encouraging for good work the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGIE M. LOVE.

Report of School Superintendent
To the Voters of the Town of Newfane :-
School reports necessarily present more or less sameness from year to year; yet each year brings new work, new plans, new problems which, in a measure, relieve monotony.
Schools. Seven schools were in session during the spring term and six during the fall and winter. All terms have been of ten weeks each except the spring term in South Newfane, which was shortened to about eight weeks on account of an epidemic of measles.
School No. 3 was closed after the first term. Several pupils moved away leaving too small a number to insure a legal school which requires an average attendance of five. Of the pupils remaining, a part went to Brookline in the fall, the others to Newfane. In the winter all went to Newfane. Those who had moved away reported their re- turn just at the beginning of the winter term and attended the Williamsville school. This arrangement has had good results.
For reasons above stated, and by pupils moving into the districts, the Williamsville and Newfane schools have been unusually large-40 pupils at the former and 33 at the latter this winter. Fortunately the attainments of the pupils are such that the schools are remarkably well graded. Es- pecially is this the case at Williamsville, where there are practically only three grades. The teachers in these schools are doing excellent work and a great deal of it.
Teachers. Four teachers of experience have been re-
26
tained in the same schools as at the close of last year, namely :-
Miss Lottie Hunt, No. 1, Brookside.
Mrs. Abbie Adams, No. 8, South Newfane.
Fred E. Gilbert, No. 2, Newfane.
Floyd D. Putnam No. 6, Williamsville.
In No. 3, Riverside, Mrs. Agnes Walcott of Jamaica taught the one term.
In No. 4, Union, Miss Alcestis Wheeler the spring term. Mrs. Edith J. Farnum the fall and winter terms.
In No. 5, Parish, Miss Nellie Dickinson the spring term; Miss Beulah Timson the fall and winter terms.
Of the two new teachers, Miss Timson is a recent gradu- ate of Leland & Gray Seminary and is taking up her school work in earnest. Mrs. Farnum has had successful experi- ence in this and other towns. Her constant enthusiasm awakens much interest among her pupils.
No permits have been issued, all the teachers being reg- ularly certificated.
Pupils and Examinations. Eleven pupils have been ex- amined upon dates fixed (June 27-28 and August 29-30), and questions furnished by State Superintendent Mason S. Stone. These examinations have been uniform through- out the state in towns not maintaining high schools. Seven pupils passed the required per cent and have received from County Examiner H. D. Ryder certificates for ad- vanced tuition.
The new law requiring these examinations is seemingly of greater benefit to our schools than any other law passed in recent years. It at once establishes a grade, or standard of scholarship. Numbers of pupils are quick to see the need of more careful work along all lines, and teachers feel the necessity of requiring it. Passing this examination with credit is equivalent to graduation from the grammar school.
