Announcement

The Book Committee of the James E. Nichols Memorial
Library Ass'n wish to announce that owing to a delay in
the expenditures of that portion of the Town Appropriations
for library purposes for the year ending Feb. 15,
1913 which was given to the Nichols Memorial Library,
they are prevented from publishing the list of books in this
report. Late in the fall of 1913, Mrs. G. W. Armstrong
and Mr and Mrs. G. R. Armstrong presented the Library

38

TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR

with upwards of four hundred volumes; and, because of
this generous gift, the purchase of new books was deferred.
When this sum, (S41) is finally expended, the list of books
will be preserved, and will appear in the report of 1915.

The visit to the Bean Cemetery was not made until
after the close of the exercises in the church; too late to
learn the names or to properly decorate all the mounds
where rest the nations dead.

The Committee solicited the assistance of Garnet Hill
Grange in Memorial Day observance which was cheerfully
and effectively given.

The Center Harbor School under the direction of Misses
Ellen Sleeper and Pearl Leighton, also the school under
Miss Whitehouse joined in rendering a most entertaining
and patriotic services consisting of songs, recitations, flower
exercises and flag drill, which showed much care, labor, and
and skill ol teachers and scholars; in the preparation of
such exercises. The flag drill was exceedingly fine: and
most beautifully executed.

40

TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR

The Grange furnished an excellent program, consisting
of reading and patriotic songs. The reading "When the
Boys in Blue are Gone" touched the heart ; and was most
appropriate. Mrs. Alice iSargent gave a most excel-
lent reading and Mrs. Drew rendered "'Home from the
War" very effectively. The Grange choir furnished ex-
cellent music and carried us back to old time at the sound
of "Soldiers Farewell." The Center Harbor Band furnish-
ed music and headed the school to the Village Cemetery
and Church. The Church committee cheerfulh' gave per-
mission for the exercises to be held at the church which
was done.

Asa Warren Drew delivered a most eloquent and pa-
triotic oration; recalling to mind the gathering storm
clouds prior to 1861 — the sad years following and until the
dawn of Peace : and a reunited Country of the present, etc
with "America" by Grange choir and the audience. Mem-
orial service was closed. The committee then visited Bean
Cemeter}' where taps were sounded b\' the cornetest and
their duties ended.

Respectfully submitted.

TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR

Report of School Board

The money raised for school purposes this year we are
confident has been well expended We have tried as far
as we were able to give give you as much as possible for
your money. For one thing, we have increased our year
from thirty to thirty-five school weeks. This winter has
been unusually severe so that our per centage of attedance
in the Village District has been badly cut into. If it seems
advisable to make the wnnter term as long another year, it
will be best to furnish transportation for the smaller chil-
dren in the outlaying districts. Owing to the small num-
ber of pupils in the Village District we tried the experi-
ment of putting both rooms under one teacher. We think
we made no mistake, taken as a whole Two other districts,
with the same number of pupils as the Village District,
were consolidated two years ago, to the satisfaction of both
parents and school board. In this move, the town saved
the salary of one teacher by the spending of three dollars a
week for transportation.

Before our next term begins, we would like to call a
parents meeting, similar to those in larger towns, where
they have been conducted to great advantage to both par-

45

TOWN OF CENTER HARBOR

ents and children, as well as to teachers and school board
The idea has been to call meetings where the teachers and
board could meet the parents, to talk over, in a friendly
way, everything of interest to our schools. In fact, make*
every parent feel that they have a voice, as they should, in
school affairs.

In last years report we urged the parents to visit the
schools as often as possible to show the teacher they were
interested in the children's welfare and so encourage them
in their work. We are sorry to say very few have taken
the trouble to get an inside view of our teachers work.
We hope during the coming year to see an improvement in
this respect.

Mrs. H. F. Fitzroy has the thanks of the school board
for two and one half cords of dry wood delivered at the
Village School.

The Hawkins school building was shingled, painted
and put in thorough repair

The building in the Cram district will be shingled and
painted in the early Spring.

The Village school building was put in thorough repair
two years ago so that no money will be needed for repairs
this year.

With the balance on hand in the general fund, with
with the increased amount to raise by law this year, no ex-
tra money will be required at our school meeting.

For outside tuition, the board would recommend that
the selectmen raise $300 by taxation; also $50 for supplies.
