The children in our country schools, are as a rule more deficient in composition than in any other subject. This is not because of lack of ideas but because they are not trained to a fluent expression, and even those who express their thoughts well, orally, find it hard to put those same thoughts on paper with pen and ink.
Considerable attention has been paid to written com-

TOWN REPORT.
position and the results are to be highly commended. The purchasing of uniform supplies by the town is respon- sible in a great measure for the excellent work in this subject, as it gave the pupils proper materials with which to work and gave them interest in their work as well as pride in a paper that was in an attractive form when finished. The cards in the Tiffany Industrial . Cabinet have been used for much of the composition work, and they have also served to widen the mental life of the children by making them familiar with those industries not represented in this town.
Those pupils intending to take the State examination for entrance to secondary schools have been given a formal text-book study of civil government.
An outline in drawing similar to those followed where a special teacher is employed, was prepared and has been followed in all the schools. Much better results were obtained than I had imagined possible. The excellent supply of materials, and the earnest efforts of the teachers have contributed very largely toward these results. The children have enjoyed the lessons and have been acquiring an idea of form and color that can be gained in no other way.
Very little has been attempted in music, as the schools are not provided with the materials necessary for a sys- tematic teaching of music reading. In some schools the pupils have provided themselves with text-books, and at Rice's Mills and Union Village have progressed to the point of singing two part songs.
Cardboard construction and paper cutting have been taught in two schools with pleasure to the children and satisfactory results educationally, as they teach accuracy, and the application of practical measurements.
An exhibition of the work of the two terms has been held in each school.
25
TOWN REPORT.
My recommendations are as follows:
1. That the school year be lengthened from two to four weeks. It is impossible for us to do the same amount of work in thirty weeks that can be done in towns having thirty-four and thirty-six weeks. In order to cover the same ground our pupils must spend from one to two years longer in the elementary schools, and this means a com- mercial loss both to the town and the individual.
2. That the terms be so arranged that school will close by the third week of June for the spring term, and that a vacation will come during the Christmas holidays. Under the present arrangement Christmas week is wasted as far as regular school work is concerned.
3. That two or three extra sets of reading books beginning with the primer and ending with the third reader, be purchased for supplementing the regular readers in the first three grades.
4. That enough common school dictionaries be pur- chased so that the pupils in the upper grades may each have one.
5. That a place be arranged in each school house where supplies and books may be locked up during vacations and that locks be placed on the drawers in the teachers' desks.
6. That the school house at East Thetford be repaired so that the children may be kept comfortably warm in cold weather.
7. That since it doesn't seem possible for an average daily attendance of six to be maintained at Rice's Mills next year, the pupils in that school be provided with transportation to some other school.
Respectfully submitted,
LINWOOD TAFT,
Superintendent.

I would like to have all cases of mumps, measles, chicken pox and german measles, reported to me, where no physician is called to treat them.

TOWN REPORT.
The Report of the Town Committee of the Trustees of Thetford Academy.
At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of Thetford Academy, the following Trustees as nominated by the town were elected, viz: C. S. Wilmot, for 3 years; W. F. Davis, 2 years; L. B. Allen, for 1 year. Hoping that in the future the town would nominate a man each year to serve for 3 years.
These Trustees beg leave to make the following report:
There have been 60 pupils enrolled during the year. 40 or 66 2-3 per cent. being from Thetford, making it essentially a Thetford school.
At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees an executive committee of three were chosen, viz:
Rev. William Slade, W. F. Davis and Prof. T. W D. Worthen, who have immediate oversight of the school.
It has been customery to pay the insurance, and for absolutely necessary repairs and running expenses, and turn the balance over to the principal. He hiring and paying his teachers and incidental expenses and lighting and heating the academy, and having what was left for his salary, fluctuating with the thermometer and the number of pupils he could get and keep. The cheaper he could run the school the greater his salary.
The property belonging to the Academy consists of the 3 buildings, viz: The Academy, boarding house, and Slafter Hall, with the equipment and furniture; also an endowment of $18,589.00, giving to the Academy an income of about $900.00. We also receive from the County fund $60.00 and this year a premium from the sale of certain stocks amp't to $680.00, giving an income of about
31
TOWN REPORT.
$1,640.00, from which has been paid $300.00 indebtedness $450.00 for repairs; and about $800.00 for running expenses; leaving about $90.00 not yet spoken for. Among the heavier items for running expenses are, $300.00 paid to the principal; $100.00 for keeping library open; $55.00 for insurance. The other items can be obtained of the executive committee if desired. The Trustees receive no part of this amount, not even actual expenses, while attending Trustee meetings.
The principal receives $300.00 from the Trustees, about $1,320.00 from tuitions; $524.00 from room rents; making a total of about $2,144.00. From this he must hire his three assistants; each of which he pays $300.00, board and rooms. The board and rooms for the three costing him not less than $375.00. This leaves him $869.00 from which he must keep the buildings in as good repair as he finds them; furnish light and heat for the Academy; pay his own salary and living expenses.
It is the opinion of this committee, that in order to conduct this school in a manner satisfactory to the town, that the principal and teachers should be engaged and controlled by the executive committee, giving each a definite and reasonable salary and holding each respon- sible to the executive committee.
We also believe that in order to obtain and retain a satisfactory principal, it will be necessary to pay more salary than can be obtained from the regular income of of the school. If the school is to be kept up to the standard of the High Schools of the State, more money must be provided in some way, that the children of our town may receive equal advantages with those of other towns, and not be handicapped in the great conquest of the world which we must all individually meet.
Having carefully studied the conditions as we find them, we make this report and leave all action in the
