- 15. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. NO. 1.—SPRING TERM. Visits by members of board, 2; by others, 28. The register showed that the deportment of the school was excellent. Roll of Honor: Gertie Huntoon, Clara Vhurber,. Etta Bryant, Ina Pierce, Grace Graves, Blanch Morgan, Della Millen, May York, Forest Wright, Willie Gilman, Fred Gilman, Chester York, Newton Morgan, Lawrence Huntoon and George Thurber. FALL TERM. Visits by members of board, 5; by others, 14. Roll of Hon- on: Etta Bryant, Grace Graves, Blanch Morgan, Ina Pierce, | Fred Gilman, George Holt, Lawrence Huntoon and Wesley Morgan. This was an excellent term of school. Miss Graves enforced strict adherence to good discipline with but little frie- tion. WINTER TERM. Visits by members of board, 2; by others 29. Roll of Hon- on: Irving B. Weed. Miss Pike is an experienced teacher and she deserves the highest credit from the district, for her faithful work and in managing such a large ungraded school. | NO. 2.—SPRING TERM. The register shows that the deportment of the school was good. Roll of Honor: Nellie es Bailey, Maria Rock, Gertie Lewis, Willie Hall, Walter Hall, Arthur Smith, Asel Russell. Earnest Bailey absent one-half day, Tina Smith about one day. Two visits by the board and 11 by others. Mrs. Hawkins kept an excellent school and the scholars all learned well.
- 16. 12 FALL TERM. Visits by the board, 4; by others, 44. Rollof Honor: Hom- er Anderson, Henry Cootin, Geo. Hogan, Ruth Kimball, Nellie Bailey. This term was taught by Robt. Alexander, who is an experienced teacher, and gave universal satisfaction. WINTER TERM. Visits by the board, 3; by others, 16. Roll of Honor: Nel- lie Bailey. This was Mr. Quimby’s first attempt at teaching, but the scholars seemed to learn well. SCHOOL NO. 3 was kept open throughout the school year, although the at- tendance was very small during the first term. ‘The first term was taught by Miss Bessie Johnson. The examination indica- ted very good progress by the few scholars in attendance. Mrs. Ida Bailey, an experienced teacher, was engaged for the fall and winter terms. Under her management, with a largely increased attendance, the school was almost completely success- ful. Irregular attendance of a few pupils was the only draw- back. Mrs. B. deserves credit for her pains-taking endeayors. SCHOOL NO. 6 was eminently successful through the entire year. Miss Far- | num, who taught the first two terms, fully sustained her repu- tation as an excellent-teacher, giving general satisfaction to all interested in the welfare of the school. Miss Fisher, although with only the previous experience of a short term, proved her- self competent to carry on the work begun by her predecessor. Her activity and energy in the school room were especially note- worthy and commendable. NO.’9.—SPRING TERM. Visits by board, 1; by others; 15. .This was Miss Johnson’s fourth or fifth term in this district and the order was quite good. The scholars made very good improvement in their studies. Roll of honor: Ida S. Rock, Lillie M. Upham, Willie C. Boyd.
- 17. 13 Emery G. Ordway; absent one day, Mattie E. Rock, Frank E. Upham, Henry O. Boyd, Arthur H. Ordway, Clinton C. Up- ham; not missed in spelling, Nellie A. Rock, Willie A. Rock, Frank E. Upham, Geo. D. Tebo, Earnest French, Emery G. Ordway and Arthur H. Ordway. FALL TERM. This term was taught by Miss Kate Egan. She labored hard in her school and the scholars made good improvement in their studies. Visits by the board, 2; by others, 7. Roll of Honor: Maria A. Rock, Ida S. Rock, Geo. B. Ordway, Arthur H. Ordway, Eddie C. Rock; absent one day, Henry A. Boyd, Lillie M. Upham, Ciinton C. Upham and Frank E. Upham. WINTER TERM. Visits by board, 2; by others, 6. Roll of Honor: Emery G. Ordway, Willie A. Rock, Ida S. Rock; absent one day, Lillie M. Upham, Arthur Ordway and Clinton C. Upham. This term wasa success and the scholars took a lively interest in their studies. . : BL NO. 11.—SPRING TERM. Visits by board, 2; by others, 5. Roll of Honor: Nettie I. Roundy. This was Miss Reed’s first school. FALL TERM. Visits by board, 2; by others, 11. Roll of Honor: Nettie I. Roundy. Miss Fisher got along very well in this school and tried hard to interest the scholars in their studies. SCHOOL NO. 12. This school was taught by Mrs. Nettie L. Johnson for the full year. There is some of the best of material here for a good school. The first two terms were highly successful. The win- ter term, judging from the appearance of the school, was not as profitable ; a fact which we believe is largely, if not wholly, accounted for by the extreme irregularity of the attendance of
- 18. 14 many of the scholars. Let all parents who have the interest of their children at heart (and who has not?) ask themselves is it right to unnecessarily deprive them of any part of the time allot- ted to their education. REMARKS. The total enrollment of scholars is 169. Average wages of male teachers per month, including board, $26.00. Average wages of female teachers per month, including board, $18.33. Entire amount of school revenue, $1,025.00. Balance in treas- ury, $68.00. Average expense for each enrolled scholar, $5.66. Largest sum of money appropriated to any school, $197.00. Smallest, $45.00. Number of weeks in scholastic year, 24. The two weeks cut off from Marshall and East school in ’86 have been made up to them during the past year. The introduction of physiologies, in eompliance with the law, and the change in readers have been placed on record by the town clerk, at our request, thus guaran- teeing us (parents) from any change in those books for at least five years, as provided by statute. While there is ample room for further improvement, we think a retrospect of the past school year will show a fair degree of prosperity. Respectfully submitted, EDWIN S. BAILEY, C. REED LEWIS, ScHoot Boarp. WM. W. HALL,
