In addition to the foregoing tabular statements required by law,

we make the following statements and suggestions, to which we

invite attention :

The daily conveyance of the few scholars in the North River

district, to and from the East Epping school, begun in 1890 and

continued through the last school year, has resulted in improving

the school and saving about one half the expense of maintaining

another separate school. It is now proposed to make a greater

improvement and saving, by moving the North River school house

to a new lot, centrally located for the united schools. Twelve legal vo-

ters who reside in the vicinity of those schools and are directly inter-

ested therein, having made written application to the School Board to

insert in the warrant for the annual meeting an article to see if the

district will vote to move the schoolhouse aforesaid, that subject

will be before the meeting for action thereon. An additional

incentive to affirmative action upon the proposition is the unfitness

of the East Epping school house for school purposes.

In the other rural districts, it has appeared that neither the suc-

cess of the schools nor the convenience of the scholars could be

improved by uniting the schools, and the four schools therein, hav-

ing a membership of 18, 25, 31, and 32, respectively, have been

maintained separately, as heretofore.

A good beginning has been made toward establishing a school of

intermediate grade between the primary school and the grammar

school, the greatest obstacle to which lies in the few cases of small

children required to cross the river to the school house on the

other side. Exceptions were made in cases of greatest seeming

hardship, and a few children, properly belonging in th e primary

school south of the river, were permitted to attend the intermediate

school north of the river. If the time comes when the district will

sell both of its small school houses in the village and build one

sufficiently commodious to accommodate all the village schoolsi

^5

then the smaller children can be accompanied by their older

brothers and sisters to and from the school house, separateing only

as they pass from the vestibule to their respective school rooms.

For the High school and Grammar school, the large school

room on the first floor of the building was found sufficient in seat-

ing capacity during the year, and the desks in the school room on

the second floor were temporarily set aside and the room used for

gymnastics. A saving of fuel and some other advantages were

secured by the arrangement, but indications of an increase in mem-bership make it seem probable that there, will be occasion for

replacing the desks and sending the Grammar school back to its

former room, during the coming year.

For the first time in the history of our school management, a

truant officer was appointed by the School Board near the beginning

of the school year, and his efficient discharge of his duties was fol-

lowed by satisfactory results. Truancy, especially in the village,

was a growing evil, and it has been checked and almost entirely

suppressed.

In the purchase of text books and other school supplies during

the year, there has been expended the sum of $248.60, and the

amount of such supplies remaining on hand is as follows : text

books, $1 12.60 j writing books, $20.44; pencils, chalk crayons,

erasers, etc., $24.56, total $157.60.

A full appreciation of the intelligent and liberal support which

the town has given to its schools, leads to the confident expectation

that all needed support will be continued. The public schools

must be sustained. The state commands it, but our people wait

for no legal mandate. They respond to every reasonable call for

aid to judicious propositions for improving the schools.

Whatever advantage the specialist finds in the select school, the

public school remains preeminent as the people's school. From it

all artificial distinctions are banished, in it all stand for what they

are, no accident of wealth gives preeminence. If such distinction

is insisted upon, by all means assign to their proper place those

poor children who are so unfortunate as to have wealthy, over-in-

dulgent parents, who do not train them in habits of industry in com-

mendable pursuits. Thanks to the wise founders of the public

26

school. It tends to adjust all relations, it is society in miniature,

and, if properly conducted, is an indispensable agency in fitting the

children for taking their places in society at large.
