42 : Report of School Board. To the citizens of the School District of Gilmanton we herewith submit our annual report During the past year we have held 31 weeks of school in all schools except one, the Corner. Owing to sickness this school was cut short three weeks, which will be added to the coming spring term. It is the belief of your board that the schools have been placed in the hands of a very able corps of teachers, and good improvement has been made. For reason of changed condition, it was thought best for all concerned to repair the school building in the Roger's district and open a school there for the fall and winter terms. Of the other schools in the north part of the district, your board found that there were to be but three scholars to attend school in the Sanborn district, three on the Ridge, three in the Gale, and three at Crystal Lake. So'^'it was decided to unite all of these schools and open a school in the Gale building, this being the most centrally located, and convey the pupils to this school. This arrangement brought together twelve scholars and placed them under the instruction of a very efficient teacher, the result of which was rapid improvement. It is true it cost quite a little for transportation, but on the whole, a saving of nearly one-half the expense of maintaining the other schools was made, while it was no very great inconvenience to anyone concerned. Besides the repairs made on the Rogers' building, the Gale schoolhouse has been shingled with the best cedar shingles. This building and one or two others will need painting this coming spring. It will be remembered that

43 GILMANTON TOWN REPORT. 37 a vote was taken last year to move the Griffin schoolhouse from its old location, to a location nearer Jones' Mills, and That work being in the an appropriation made therefor. extreme west end of the town, Mr. Weeks and Mr. Chase assumed charge of the work. A piece of land was leased of Mr. Maxfield for a school site and the building has been moved onto the lot. It will require some repairing to fit it up for school purposes. Under the new apportionment by the state for 1912, this town will not be required by law to raise quite as much money for schooling as has been required, by about $100. Therefore, in order to keep up the present number of weeks of schooling, your board would recommend that the deficiency be made up by raismg a certain amount of money above what the law requires at your coming district meeting. As required by law, we submit the following sums of money to be raised and assessed by the selectmen for the coming year: For school books and supplies, $125; for flags and appurtanences, $5; for tuition, $350. These items do not require a vote at school meeting. Gilmanton, N. H., Feb. 27, Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN L. WEEKS, FRANK N. MERRILL, School Board of Gilmanton. ROLL OF PERFECT ATTENDENCE.
