1 <br />If <br />REPORT. <br />THE Committee are pleased to be able to say, that the state <br />of the schools during the year has been as good as in years <br />before. Always hoping for improvement, and seeing much <br />that is capable of it, they find it easier to devise and attempt <br />than to accomplish their plans. They feel it to be right still <br />to keep constantly advancing the character and increasing <br />the usefulness of the schools, believing such a purpose to be <br />equally accordant with the interests and the wishes of the <br />community. They believe that, in some respects, the year <br />shows an improvement. <br />One aim not hitherto effected has been attained the past <br />year; namely, the completion of a school -year of forty weeks <br />for all the schools in town. This end has been attained <br />without exceeding the appropriations allotted to the several <br />schools. <br />The Committee have acted on the principle of making as <br />few changes of teachers as practicable. At the beginning <br />of the year, several changes took place ; but, in each <br />instance, through the act of the teacher. It is felt to be <br />both wise and just to remove no teacher but for positive <br />and stringent reasons. <br />The FRANKLIN SCHOOL (south) and the WARREN SCHOOL <br />(west) have remained throughout the year in charge of <br />their experienced and approved teachers, Misses PARKER <br />1 <br />
