34 School Report Tbe pa9t school year hag been a success. Except in ODe instance, which was corrected as soon as possible, we have secured teachers of ability, well adapted to the community in which they were placed. We have made special effort to secure first-class teachers for our small schools, holding fast to the priuciple that the sparsely settled districts are entitled to tbe best possible instruction. One of the most important moves has been the consolidation of the North Fryeburg schools. Under the able teaching of Mrs. Pearl Bemis. this consolidation has brought good results. At the end of tbe spring term, Mrs. Lucia Morrill Lougee resigned her position as Superintendent of Public Schools, a position which she has most efficiently filled for several years. Ridgley C. Clark having first resigned bis position on the school board, was elected to the office. Mr. John Phillips was elected to fill the vacancy on the school board. Every pupil who attends a public school in this or any other town has a right to demand that the town provide a clean, warm, well lighted, well ventilated school room. The school room should be as clean and attractive as the home. This year the buildidg at West Fryeburg has been made comfortable aod sanitary by the laying of a hard wood floor, the painting of the interior and the re-arranging of the seats so that the light comes to the desks of the pupils in a proper manner. At tbe East Fryeburg school bouse a Dew bard wood floor has beed laid and the foundation of the building repaired. Modern seats have been installed into the East Fryeburg and Toll Bridge school houses. New maps have been placed in all the schools and where new arithmetics have been needed, modern texts have been supplied. I recommend that tbe sum of three hundred and fifty dollars be raised for repairs, three hundred for books, twenty-four hundred for common schools and 'eight hundred for tuition of secondary school pupils.
