SCHOOL REPORTS, SECTION I 



Since in my attempt at the District School Meet- 

 ing to make a report of the condition of the High 

 School, together with a brief reply to several unrea- 

 sonable attacks and malicious charges against me, I 

 was frequently interrupted and compelled to withdraw 

 in the midst of my remarks, I therefore respectfully 

 submit to the legal voters of District No. i, the follow- 

 ing report, omitting the greater part of that portion 

 which I succeeded, under many difficulties, in giving 

 verbally. 



I will first reply to some of the numerous errors in 

 the statements of the chairman of the committee in 

 his report. On the second page of that document I 

 find the following : 



All teachers in this town have been furnished with regis- 

 ters, and all, with one exception, have returned them. Your 

 committee have just been informed that the teacher of the 

 high school has never returned a register nor suggested any 

 excuse for not returning them. Your committee supposed 

 until now that they had been duly returned to the superin- 

 tending committee of the town. We venture to hope that 

 this useful law will not be nullified hereafter.
