HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT
1
The health of the town the past year has been very good.
There has been one case of diphtheria brought from New York with isolated cases of Mumps, German Measles and Chick- en Pox, all of which have been easily controlled.
The condition of the school houses at E. Thetford, Union Village and Sawnee Bean have been much improved and with a few minor changes would be in satisfactory shape.
The sewerage disposal at the N. Thetford creamery has been the cause of much complaint, but the local Board of Health have found the management willing to remedy the difficulty so far as they could, and while the results are not all that could be desired, yet the Board have not felt it to be a sufficient menace to the public health to justify making changes that would be so
40
expensive as in all probability to close the creamery and so cause great loss to the farmers in the town.
We wish to extend to the citizens of the town the thanks of the Board for the hearty manner in which they have cooperat- ed with them in the report of contagious diseases and the obser- vance of the quarantine when established, so that practically no disease has spread within the limits of the town.
We believe that a proper attention to the common colds and grippe, with an abundance of pure air in our homes and places of public meeting, will greatly reduce these conditions and add to the health and wealth of the town, even though it decreas- es the income of its physicians.
Respectfully submitted,
L. B. ALLEN, M. D., Health Officer.

The total number of days of attendance of all pupils of the town was 21,260. The total number of days of absence was 129[ I-2. The actual attendance was 94,6 per cent of the possible attendance. Of these 1291 1-2 days of absence, 214 1-2 days were caused by eight pupils, two girls 15 years of age and six boys between the ages of 12 and 15. Only in one case, that of one of the girls before mentioned, was illness the cause of this non-attendance. The perc ent of the attendance for the entire towns was good, and had a large part of the absence been by young children who cannot and should not be expected to attend on days extremely stormy or excessively cold, your superintendent would not have felt it his duty to give you these figures for your consideration.
It is a fact to be regretted, however, that nearly one-sixth of the absence was caused by one-twentieth of the pupils and these, boys and girls for the most part well and strong and of an age when they should attend school. I would most strongly impress upon parents that there is a very close relationship between non-promotion and non-attendance. Of the eight pupils mentioned six failed to pass their grade this year and the other two have failed previously, either last year or the year before. No boy or girl of the higher grades can afford to lose a day of school unnecessarily if he wishes to keep up with his- class. Our course of study is so arranged that, in my opinion, very few failures of promotion would occur in the higher grades if the pupils would attend regularly and perform the daily work of which they are capable, assuming of course, that the teacher does her part, as I am glad to say, most of them are doing.
In all sincerity I ask, "Can any parent, interested in the progress of his child, as he should be, afford, except in cases of utmost emergency, to keep that child out of school to work?"

I would recommend that the present arrangement of terms be continued, namely : eleven in the fall and in the winter and eight in the spring, and that they begin as follows : the fall term, Tuesday, September 8, 1914; the winter term, Monday, Novem- ber 30, 1914 ; and the spring term Monday, April 12, 1915.
Free tuition certificates were issued to three pupils as a result of the examination held May 21-22, 1914. Those re- ceiving certificates were Albertina M. Dailey of North Thetford, Arlo W. Hatch and C. Augustus Vaughan of Thetford Center.
No changes in textbooks have been made during the year just closed and none are planned for the immediate future.
Several schoolhouses are in need of minor repairs and I have reason to believe that most of these will be made during the coming summer vacation. On the whole I think our school buildings compare favorably with those of surrounding towns.
Cooperation on the part of the parents, teachers, pupils and all school officials is the thing needed to make our schools most efficient, and in conclusion I wish to urge upon the citizens the importance of loyalty and pride in making our schools among the best in the state. I do not believe people begrudge money economically spent for education.

We have examined the accounts of the several town officers and find them correct, and would respectfully call your attention to the list of property belonging to the town which the select- men have included in their report, and also to the fact that the Grand List is about $600 more, owing to the quadrennial appraisal of the real estate, which makes the Grand List at the present time $6444.98.

Report of the Thetford Public Library
The thirty-five dollars appropriated by the town under a recent law of the State is expended annually as follows :
Ten dollars is paid for the rent of the Latham Memorial Library, which makes the use of that library free to every resident of the town, ten is paid toward the librarian's salary and fifteen is used for the purchase of new books. The State has given us twenty-five new books this year.
The librarian will be glad to make up from the two libraries a collection of children's books to be used in any school room in town; these can be kept for a few weeks and of course must be well cared for.
The Library is open on Tuesday afternoon from three to, five and on Friday evening from six to eight.
