35 School Report The school committee held its meeting for reorganization at the home of Mr. Chas. P. Gray, at which time Mr. Gray was elected chairman. With the selection of many of the teachers who taught for us last year, and the addition of other capable and experienced teachers we feel confident that the advancement and general improvement of the pupils, has by no means been retarded or without progressiveness. Only for the visitation of sickness in some parts of the town whereby it was thought advisable to close the schools for a short time; we believe the attendance of the pupils has been very satisfactorily maintained. As has been the custom during the past few years the repairs on the school houses, procuring fuel and attending to the general preservation of the school buildings, were individually assigned to the school committee. This year the greater part of the repair appropriation has been expended in the interior of the school rooms, as last year the exterior of the school houses received special attention. North Fryeburg, Harbor and Smart s Hill school rooms and the three rooms in the village school house have been painted, by which the attractiveness is quite materially improved. The ceiling of the Center school house has been recovered with sheathing, to which have been applied suitable coats of finish. In addition to these general repairs many smaller improvements have been made. We recommend, as the most needed repairs for the year ensuing, to recover the roofs of the village and East Fryeburg school houses and also to install new seats and desks in the North Fryeburg school room. The maintenance of the Smart s Hill school is commendable. At our last annual town meeting an additional sum of four hundred dollars was raised for the support of schools; of this sum a portion has been used to defray the extra expense of maintaining the schools,

36 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT 3 5 and mindful of the necessity to perpetuate the existence of a desirable balance in the treasury of the school fund, we close the financial year with thirty-three weeks the same as last year. In the school statistics herewith appended is given the number of weeks of school due the several schools for the winter term now in session. And although two schools at this tune are closed, yet the cost to maintain them is deducted, shown in the prospective summary, that an approximate balance at the completion of the financial school year might be given. The council of the school committee and the cooperation of the teachers are appreciated by me. Following are the sums of money recommended to be voted and raised for the year ensuing: Common school general fund...$3,0 School books 3 Kepairs on school buildings... 6 The financial statement of the receipts and expenditures is as follows: Unexpended balance Feb. 17, as per last year s report $1, Expenditures from Feb. 17, 1917, to close of financial year: Teachers wages $ Janitor, supplies and cleaning Conveyance 2S6 50 Fuel 4 $1, Balance close of last financial rear 262 4S V $1, RECEIPTS, GENERAL FUND Balance from last financial year...$ Town appropriation... $3,0 Common school fund 1, School.and mill fund Tuition, Leo Wells 6 Tuition, town of Stow 22 Tuition, Town of Conway 21 $5, $5,705 34
