REPORT OF SUPERINTENDT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Directors of the Town of Thetford :
As the law now requires that the report of school officers shall be made in July instead of February, I submit only a brief report at this time.
Eleven schools have been maintained throughout the year located as follows : Ely, North Thetford, East Thetford, Ste- vens, Thetford Hill, Thetford Center, Post Mills, Sawnee Bean, Union Village, Rice's Mills and Judd District. It seems advisable both from a financial and educational standpoint that two or three of the schools be discontinued at the beginning of the spring term. During the term just passed, there were re- gistered at the Judd District six pupils and at Rice's Mills, seven pupils. I understand the chances are that the registration will
29
be less in the spring term in one of these schools if not in both. I consider it my duty to recommend that these schools be either consolidated at Rice's Mills or the pupils from both be trans- ported to adjoining schools. At Ely six pupils have been regis- tered each of the three terms of the school year. As one of these is a ninth grade pupil the chances are strong that the school would be even smaller another year unless some arrange- ment can be made with the town of Fairlee, whereby the pupils of that town residing near Ely may attend this school, my opinion is that this school should be consolidated with that at North Thetford.
Two or three of the schools have been somewhat broken up during the winter on account of several cases of scarlet fever existing in the locality of Post Mills. Owing to this fact and the epidemic of whooping cough in the town of Strafford it seemed best not to attempt a repetition of the speaking and spelling contests held last year.
The system of grading instituted one year ago has, I think, proved very satisfactory. Even the pupils who failed of promo- tion in the examinations held last June feel, I think, as do their parents that it was for their interest to cover the work of that grade again realizing that in the end they will make the better progress. I expect fewer failures in the examinations of next June.
Some complaint has been made to me about the heating apparatus at the school house at the Hill. I most earnestly wish an investigation might be made by some school official or by some one interested in the school to determine whether the trouble is with the arrangement of the fixtures or with its man- agement. This school-house was constructed to meet the re- quirements of the State Board of Health and if possible it should be made to give satisfaction. If the defect is in the arrange- ment of the fixtures this defect should be immediately reme-
30
died, if in its management some one should be instructed in the control of the same. From my own experience I know the school-house has not been sufficiently warm for the comfort of pupils on some days of the winter term just passed.
I wish to suggest to the directors that they arrange to have the schools begin as early in the spring as the condition of the roads will permit. In looking over the school registers I find the attendance of pupils drops off considerably after the middle of June. The heat as well as the many summer amusements tend to lessen the interest of the pupil in his work. I venture to suggest that, if the conditions are favorable, the schools open April 10 and close June 16, 1911.
I wish to call attention to a few changes in the school laws most directly affecting parents and pupils. The compulsory school age has been increased one year making it now from 8 to 16. No pupil is entitled to be received in the public schools until 6 years of age. Any pupil 7 years of age who becomes enrolled must attend regularly during that term and is subject to truancy laws. Parents are asked to observe the law which requires that all children begin their first school attendance at the fall term except with the written permission of the super- intendent.
Respectfully submitted.
CHAS. P. MCKNIGHT, Union Supt.

Report of Town Committee of Thetford Academy.
The Academy has maintained a very satisfactory school during the past year.
The course of study having been changed so that only an English and Agricultural course are given.
The number of students has been about 35.
There will be a deficiency this year of about $400. or the same as last year.
The dicipline of the school has been very good.
Signed,
L. B. ALLEN, CHAS. S. WILMOT, C. C. EMERSON,
Report of The Thetford Public Library.
The Latham Memorial Library is rented to the town for ten dollars a year. This gives the use of three thousand volumes free to every one in Thetford old enough to read. In the same building on Thetford Hill is kept the Thetford Public Library composed of books which were given by the state or purchased by the town. The town appropriates each year thirty five dol- lars. Of this ten dollars go towards the Librarian's salary and ten dollars for the rent of the Latham Memorial Library, leav- ing fifteen for the purchase of new books.
The State has given the town this year twenty dollars worth of new books. The state has loaned three traveling libraries to the town during the year, of about forty volumes each; one located at North Thetford, one at East Thetford and one at Union Village.

32
From the combined Library we have sent out children's books to three schools in town, Thetford Center, Sawnee Bean and Rice's Mills.
The Library is open each school day to the students of the Academy.
Please notice the change of days when the Library is open to the public.
It is open on Tuesday afternoon from three to five and Friday evening from six to eight.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SLADE, President of the Trustees.

We shall continue to study for the wants of the people, and shall endeavor to carry the largest stock of what the public may want for the every day life, and for the most fastidious, at prices that will merit your patronage and a continuance in business.
