REPORT OF SUPERVISOR FOR 1893.
Our school manaa^ers for the past two or three years have
experienced much inconvenience from the lack of adequate
school room to accommodate our village scholars. Schools
have been overcrowded, and improvement in grading largely
prevented. By the appropriation of last March the two
Primary School buildings were raised and a room added to
each. They were ready for occupancy at the beginning of
the school year in September.
On entering upon my duties I found the grade in a very
mixed condition, the cause for which, I ascribe largely to the
lack of room above mentioned. This disarrangement was
noticeable principally in the High School and between the
Primary and Intermediate grades. In the latter grades I
found more advanced scholars, in several instances, in the
Primary than in the Intermediate; while in the High School
the class about to graduate, and the class entering the Sep-
tember previous, were the only ones confining themselves
to a regular course. The two intervening classes were run-
(55)
n'nicr ill a go-as-you-please manner.
It was also observable that the Hio^h School teacher was
crowded with work, carrjino' on a four years course — mak-
ing four distinct classes — while all other looms in the grade
had but a two years' course to handle. There were some
seventeen or eighteen recitations there, while similar schools
over the State are carrying only from six to ten recitations
daily. The inconsistency of this is very apparent, for it is a
recognized fact by teachers and school officers that High
School scholars need more time than those in lower schools,
instead of less, to devote to each recitation. The reason is
obvious: The subjects studied are broader, the reasoning
faculty of the student is better developed, and discussions of
lessons, therefore, more necessary than at an earlier &ge.
From the experience and observation of the Spring term I
took the teachers into consultation and prepared such a grade,
as, in our opinion, would make the schools in number of
scholars nearly equal, collect those running a random course
into a systematic classing, and generally do more and better
work. The scholars who would have advanced to the lower
room in the High School Building were held in the new rooms,
and the more advanced ones from the Primary department
added to them, making an Intermediate room on each side of
the Harbor, between the Primary and Third Grammar Schools.
The three Grammar divisions were advanced in grade one year,
thereby holdiuo- all scholars in the room where they were at-
tending for an additional year, and clipping one year from the
course of the High School. Most of the teachers who taught
under the previous grading last Spring, have been retained
tnrough the Fall and Winter terms, and they, with the "best
opportunities for knowledge in the matter, are of one opinion
that the grade at present is an improvement. As a matter for
parents to make reference ; And also as the best means of
preservation, the entire grade here follows:

ithms and Plane Geometry.
I made the following rule for the teachers to confine them-
selves to in examination of scholars for advancement in the
grade :
"A strict system of ranking foradmission and advancement will be
adhered to, and an allowance of ten per cent, will be given any scholar
who from any cause may fall below the standard— a conditional ad-
mission or advancement being granted. Scholars failing to pass ex-
amination at the close of the term must submit to the same examina-
tion at the beginning of the next term before proceeding further."
This rule, strictly' and impartially enforced, will work no in-
justice to anyone, and is only justice to average or advanced
scholars, — ^for they should not be retarded in their work by a
small minority who cannot or do not keep up.

By. the above table it will be noticed that the average attend-
ance was exceptionally good at the Fall terms, and fell off
badly in the Spring. This was almost entirely due to the
breaking ont of the measles at that time. 328 weeks school
will have been taught, when the W^inter terms are finished,
against 280 in 1892, 275 in 1801, 2G4 in 1890, 241 in 1889.
Tuition Paid to Town of Boothbay.
After the division of the town in February, 1889, some ar-
rangement was necessary for inter-attendance between towns
in the districts which came partly in each town. By an appor-
tionment in 1889, and since that date by contract or terms be-
tween the Supervisors of the towns arranging tuition this has
been carried en. 1 noted on assuming charge of the schools
what I considered a very loose trade on the part of our town.
All scholars within the bounds of former district lines were
permitted to attend as formerly, and tuition should be paid for
the entire term of school if a scholar attended two or more
weeks. This was perfectly fair had the inter-atteudance been
equal numerically, but our town scholars were attending their
(61)
schools largely in excess of theirs in our schools. Evidently it
was inequitable to us. I therefore insisted on these modifica-
tions of the former agreement with Boothbay: first that no
scholar attend out of town, and have his tuition paid by the
town, except on written permission of the Supervisor of the
town wherein he resided. Secondly, an agreement was made
by which the tuition paid would very nearly correspond with
the actual attendance of the scholar. Below I give the result
of this arrangement with former years :
1889 Paid Boothbay tuition S279.52
1890 " , " ' " 271.92
1891 " ' " " 272.52
1892 " " " 231.00
1893 » " " 156.75
It may be urged that we received some tuition from Boothbay
during these years. There have been small receipts each year
until the present. Such receipts have, however, been a cost
in excess of receipts each year. Last year receipts from
Boothbay had dwindled to $36.00 which was almost wholly ob-
tained in No. 12, where, to obtain it, we run schools at an ex-
pense of S107.25. The past year I gave free use of the house
there to Bootlibay for school purposes and paid out ^7.20 tui-
tion for the only two scholars there belonging to us. In the
matter of being able to make a still further saving in amount
of tuition for attending school out of town I have no doubt.
An article is inserted in the warrant this year to see what ac-
tion the town will take in regard to building a sidewalk across
the meadow, so called. By this means all scholars living on
the road leading to the Center as far as and including the
houses of N. C. Reed and Wesley Reed can conveniently at-
tend our schools making, thereby, a further saving to the town
of about $40.00 per year. This could virtually be termed net
■cash earnings to this town of such a sidewalk ann lally.
((^2)
Inconvenience in No. 8.
This district is badly proportioned. It extends from the end
of ^IcKown's Point to Saw^'ers Island Bridge, with a branch
road runnintr from the former iocation of the sclioolhouse to
the Center. The largest mimber of scholars registered there
the past year have been 24. The amount of tuition paid to
Boothbay from that neighborhood for attendance at Saw^^ers
Island School tiie past year |;2.*^.9;j. Thus it may be observed
that the number of scholars are not lar^e nor is the expense of
tuition from that locality. Why 1 am thus explicit is that f
have received information that an article is to be inserted by
petition to see what action the town* will take iu regard to
building a new schoolhouse, or lemoving the present one to a
location whereby the northern portion of that neighborhood
may be better accomodated. Tliat is a matter that should be
considered carefully, and as the town holds all school property
any changes in it rest wholly upon the action of its meetings.
A greater hardship rests upon the northern portion of that
neighborhood, in the matter of schools, than any other section
of our town. The distance is great to our schoolhouse, and
paying tuition for them to attend at Sawyers Island School
does not give them either the advantages in amount of school-
ing that our scholars got who attend at home, or those we send
to Boothbay Center School, though the new law will some-
what uio iify this condition.
Care of School Property.
A new plan for ofire of })r(perty at the village has been
adopted. The labor of caring for the three buildings is let to
a Janitor who takes entire clmrg.-. Mv. W. F. Buker was
given the position last Spring, for the year, for the sum of
^200. It wiH come slightly within the amount paid heretofore
by parcelling out the separate portions of work. It is a sav-
ing in fuel, keep? school property in batter and cleaner condi-
(03)
tion, and it would be my recominen latioii to never return to
the former plan.
Progress of the Schools.
Last June was graduated a Class of five from the High
School consisting of blisses C. Dora Nickersoi., Anna B. Ken-
drick, Anna M. Albee, Mary E. Carlisle and iMr. Geo. K.
Blair.
Hereafter I would reconiniend that graduations take place,
with exercises, by the First Gannnar b-chuol as well as from
the various classes of the Hicrh Scliool.
Ail the schools have gone along in a very satibfiictory man-
ner with the" exception of the Second Grammar. A band of
boys in that room have made little progress for sometime past.
Confederated together they perceptihly ^rew worse each suc-
cessive term, anJ they were beconjing an annoying element to
the other rooms. It was nearly impossible to preserve order
and a part of the trouble could reasiiiably be laid to the seats
which were origriiiially fcr primary scholars. These scholars
were from 13 to 15 years of age, and to occupy such seats be-
came almost a punishment. At my recommendation the Se-
lectmen purchased seats for the room to be paid for the next
fiscal year. With these seats to begin the AVintcrterm I made
the further chang'^ (believing a radical one necessary) of teach-
ers. Part of the difficulty at once subsided, but insubordina-
tion was still cropping out. Early in the teim I expelled one
scholar whom 1 considered mo-t at fault, since which time the
school has run admirably, which eann jt be said of it for some
time in the past.
Much improvement is no<ed siice the c^mmej cement of last
Fall terms in the Primary and Intermediate grades. The div-
ision of the schools into reasonably sized bodies is marked by
quick advancement. Cuttinir down the four years' course to
three in the Hi^li School is also showinir better wi-rk.
Truancy.
This is the most perplexing- subject Sclio.)! Otticers have to
deal with. In Mr. M. D. McKovvn as otiioer we have had good
and readv service whenever notified. My years' experience
demonstrates one thiuir very satisfactorily to me, and that is :
that the parents are almost wholly :it fault. My predecessors
((;4)
ill ollicc 1 oljsorve have, as a rule, in tlie School report made
:vn appeal to the intelligence of s-uch parents. In what contact
1 have had with them it is a quality J have failed to recognize.
I have, however, found them tlioroughly informed on one sub-
ject: the evas-on of the truant law. Their knowledge on this
subject woukl do credit to an Attorney. These instances ha^
been few but ai^gravating. 1 oidy know of one rule, and that
is, to keep the law in mind and deal with each case, as best
you can, according to its conditions.
[g *" School Appliances.
Tlie Schools I found in a very needy condition for means of
demonstratingr what was being^ taught in them. I have furnished
the High School with a Terrestrial Globe and set' of Chambers
Cyclopaedias; First Grammar a Chart Manikin for physiology
class, and I'nabridged Dictionary; Second Grammar, Globe,
Dictionary- and Map; Third Grammar, Globe and Dictionary;
West Harbor, Globe, Dictionary and M:ip; No. 8, Globe, Dic-
tionary andpiap. In this connection will state that ]\Ir. Nich-
olas Patterson, Cincinnati, presented West Harbor School with
bell, paying all cxjienses for hanging etc.
Recommendations.
] will make tne following recominendalion for the ensuing
year, the first three to the Committee who will succeed to
school management, and the fourth to the action of the next

equal terms.
Second, — Suspend for one year, as the new law permits a Com-
mittee to do, the School in No. 12, so called.
Third, — Continue the Harbor School property in the care of a
Janitor as at present.
Fourth, — Appropriations for Ensuing Year:

Selectmen on Water Works Construction.
x\t the aumial town ineetiiiir March 5, 1894, it was voted
that Selectmen be authorized to construct a system of water
works for tlie town, with suitable and sufficient pumpinir
station, standpipe, at least 12,500 feet of water mains and 25
iiydrants providiniJ- the same em be constructed at an expense
not exceeding $25,000.
We realized at the time tbat this vote would add very
uiuch to ihe duties of the Selectmen, but we were elected and
sworu to do our duty, and as this was a vote of the town we
tried to carry it out, as we do all other votes passed at our
annual meetings. We first secured the services of three
•competent enirineers to look over tLe different sources of
supply, such as Mountain Ice Pond, Lewis Pond, Echo Lake
and the Aulds Sprinirs. All of these were pronounced in-
sufficient. We next went to Adams Pond, which they all
said was the only place we had to take water from, to be sure
■of a sufficient supply of pure water. And we herewith
append Mr. E. H. Gowing's report:
E. H. GowiNG )
Engineer [•
Boston, Mass. )
Board of Selectmen,
Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
Dear Sirs: —
I beg to submit the following report concerning a system of
water works for the town of Boothbay Harbor,
The following sources of supply were investigated: Dexter Pond,
Lewis Pond, some springs near Park st. and Adams Pond.
(34)
The supi^ly from Dexter Pond is reported to be of fair quality
during tlie greater part of the year, but parties v/lio have used it^
state tliat in the summer months it is so l)adly discolored as to render
it unfit for drinking, cooking or washing. This is what the writer
would cx|)ect on account of the large amount of vegetable matter on
the bottom and the comparatively shallow depth of tlie pond. Were
other conditions favorable, it might be feasible to purify this water,
or to remove the vegetable matter from the pond. Either of these
plans would entail large ex|>ense however.
The amount of water flowing from the pond, which is as good an
indication as any of the amount which can be obtained, was at the
time of the writer's visit but very little, if any more than the daily
requirement of your town. The fact that the supply is no greater at
this season of the year, would indicate that during the season of low
water, either in summer or winter, the supply would be entirely
inadequate. This is bnrne out bj^ the statment of a party living near
the outlet, who states that he has known the stream running from the
pond, to be dry in the summer time. This pond is a])parently a basin
near the top of a hill with a rocky impervious bottom, which collects
and holds the rain-fall from a very limited water shed and you would
find upon taking from it an amount each day sufficient for the needs
of your community, that you would draw the water down very rapid-
ly, and that none would run in to take its place.
To sum up: The quality is poor and the quantity limited and this
pond must be rejected as a source of supply for the town.
While the writer knows less regarding the quality of the water
from Lewis Pond, it is still certain that this source would have to be
rejected on account of the limited quantity which it can 8uppl3\
The quality of water from the springs is reported to be good, but
they give no evidence of being able to supply even a tenth of the
w.Uer which the town w-ould use. The flow from the springs is very
small and the area drained by them insiiflicient to warrant any more
water tlian the visible How. It is the opinion of the writer that any
money spent in developing the springs with a view to obtain more
water, will l»e simply wasted.
The remaining source, Adams Pond, is of considerable area itself
and drains a water-shed very much larger than the three other sources
combined, and the size of the stream flowing from the pond, shows
that a large amount of water could be taken from it without materially
reducing the level. The (luality also appears to be above the average.
The only objection to this source appears to be its distance from.
(35)
the town. The use of this source would necessitate the location of a
pumping station at the ponr', laying of a force main from thence to-
the stand pipe and distribution mains through the village.
The writer has made an estimate of the cost of a system made up
of 6, 8, and 10 inch pipe, located as follows:
From the pumping station at Adams Pond to the corner of Union
St., and Towuseud ave., 8 inch pipe.
From the stand pipe on Mount Pisgah to a point on Commercial
St., opposite Boothbay House, ID inch pipe.
From tlie corner of Union and Atlantic sts. on Atlantic st. to High
St., 8 inch pipe.
Atlantic st., from High st. to Xickersons' wharf, C inch pipe.
Tills system would give ample fire protection for the business
part of the town, and that is the part which needs it most and with a
good supply of hose, the houses on the side streets would also get the
protection due from one or two fire streams.
In case a system was put in, on this plan extenfions could be
made in the near future to all the cross and side streets so that ulti-
mately the whole town would be covered by the distribution mains
and a first class fire service given on all streets.
In introducing this plant, would recommend that the strictest
economy,, consistent with the objects obtained, namely a plentiful
supply of pure water for domestic purposes and an efficient tire ser-
vice, be practiced.
The sizes of pipe referred to above are as small as it would pay
you to consider, on Atlantic st , it would be desirable if possible, to
extend the 8 inch farther than to High st. In pumping machinery,
would recommend the purchase of a simple non-condensing pump,
having a capacity of one half million gallons per day with and upright
boiler to run it. As soon as you could afford the necessary expense,
a larger and higher class pump should be obtained, leaving the origi-
nal pump, for reserve in case of a break down. The pumping station
could be built cheaply with the idea of replacing it as soon as the
better structure could be afforded. E. II, Gowing.
"We then advertised for prop jsals for furnishing cast iron
water pipe, also for trenching and laying. We received six
bids, Moore & Co. of Boston, being the lowest bidders, and
as we found by making inquiries that they were responsible

The pipes and castintrs when laid shall conform accurately to the
lines and grades required, and castings designed for particular places
shall be used therein. •
All fixtures pertaining to the supply or distribution, shall be set

Whereaif the above bounden J. J. Moore and E. H. Gowing by art

In witnetss who-eof yfe h&\e hereunto set our hands and seals on
this nineteenth day of June a. d. 18U4,
J. J. ]MoORE,
E. H. Gowing,
W. H. Whitcomb.
We had a contract drawn up with Moore & Co. that they
would a^rree to do all the town voted to do and as much more
(45)
•as could be done for the prices stated in contract, which
proved to be about 2,5(X) feet, making in all about 15,000
feet. The Selectmen were authorized to lease said water
works if they deemed it proper for a term of 20 years to any
responsible water company that will agree as rental therefore
to suppl}' the town with sutHcient water for 25 hydrants. We
iiad Jiu aLTreemeut drawn up with the Boothbay & Boothbay
Harbor Water Company, that they would lease said works
after the 325,000 was expended by the town, and extend the
system as follows:
On Atlantic St. to the store occupied by S. Nicker^on &
Sons, Townsend Avenue and Commercial St. to residence of
W. M. Sawyer, McKown St. to house of Susan Chambers,
West St. to residence of W. J. Winslow.
After the $25,000 was expended we did not think it ad-
visable to lease the works without first getting the expression
of the people, so upon the application of W. M. Sawyer and
nine other le^al voters we called a special town meeting, on
the 24th day of September with the foUowmtr results: After
accepting the report of the Selectmen for what they had
already done, voced that the Selectmen be authorized and
directed to borrow the suai of ten thousand dollars by bond
or otherwise; the bonds to be of the same time and rate as
the water bond^issued under the vote at the annual ni'^etin^ in
March last. Eiu;ht. thousand dollars of the above sum to be
expended under the direction of the Selectmen to extend the
water system as follows:
1st. To the MeClintoek store, East Side.
2iid. " head of Cross Street.
3rd. *' house of Susan Chambers.
4th- " house of Eben Lewis, West St.
5th. " store of W. M. Sawyer, Commercial St.
And two thousand dollars of the above sum to be re-
served for the use of a Board of Water Commissioners with
(4.;)
whic'li to operate suid Water Works for tiiid in helialf of said
town.
After satisfactory arrangeinonts liaving been made with
different linns whom we were owintr for pipe and pump, we
continued witli tlie work until we were obliged to stop on
account of the coid weather, and we herewith present a true

In rendering our report of the water plant we have tried'
to make it just as plain as we possibly could, that every tax-
payer miglit understand it, and see for himself what every
cent has been expended for. We would recommend that a
committee of three be appointed to confer with Mr. Joseph
Dodge and see what arrangements can be made with him in
regard to taking water from Adams Pond.

Note. — I make my summary statement of Town Bonds
and net indebtedness as in former reports. The Water Bonds,
the water indebtedness above bonds, and water accounts entire,
appear under that report, and the Cemetery Bond in that re-
port, for I deem it a clearer method of presentation to report
the several classes of indebtedness apart. The interest on both
Town and Water Bonds is put under one head as thev were
both subjects of appropriation- at out last annual meeting.
I have examined the records of orders drawn by the Se-
lectmen, also the Treasurer's accounts, for the fiscal year one
"thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, and find the bills
^correctly cast and properly vouched.
F. B. GREENE,
Auditor.
Boothbay Harbor, February 16, 1895.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR FOR 1894.
Under the School Law of 1893 which went into opera-
tion March 1st., 1894, five were elected, at our last annual
town meeting, to constitute the School Board. Pursuant to-
the law the terms of ofllce were determined by draft as fol-
lows :
N. S. Baker, one year term.
Herman Carlisle, two " "
F. B. Greene, " " "
C. E. Kendrick, three " "
W. H. Reed, " "
It was decided to follow the recommendation of the last
report in the matter of a school vear, and accordingly 3iJ
weeks have been taught in each of the ten rooms in town^
giving a total amount of 333 weeks schooling against 328'
weeks in 1893, 280 in 1892, 275 in 1891, 264 in 1890 and
241 in 1889. This shows that our amount of schooling has
gradually increased each j'ear since the incorporation of our
town, the last two years being nearly equal in amount, and
the present year nearly 100 weeks in excess of the first year
of our existence as a town.

All schools have made satisfactory advancement during
the year. The Course laid out in 1893, and entered upon at
the Fall term of that year, has been very closely adhered to^
and a much more systematic progress has been noticeable than
before. Classes are banded together, with real formality, first
in the Intermediate rooms, with a two years course of study
framed and hanging in each room. Then two years work i&
likewise laid out in each of the three Grammar Schools, the
work of each room being printed, framed and hung up as in
(74)
the luterraediate. Thus all pupils become conversant with
the work before them. The examinations are strictly adhered
to and the instances are very few where pupils have fell
behind their class and failed of advancement at the annual
beijinnin^ in September. A real ambition has been gen-
erated and very ^ood and earnest work is bein^ done. And
while very few have failed to keep up with their classes, about
20 altogether have, by study in vacation season, been able to
pass the examinations and gain one year in the course. More
of this extra study occurred among the 2d Grammar School
pupils last summer than anywhere else, and by it the number
of pupils in that room was kept down to a point within the
capacity of the room. It is more likely to be crowded next
Fall than any other room in town unless a similar effort is
made next summer by some of the more advanced scholars.
I consider the grade stimulates the pupils to both, — better at-
tendance and greater industry.
Text Books
In this account, as Auditor, I referred by foot-note for ex-
planation to my school report.
The year 1890 was the first for Free Text Books. That
year our town appropriated |500, all of which was expended
and had the books at that time been kept as they now are an
overdraw would have appeared of $213.47, or in other words,
an actual amount of $713.47 was invested that year in new
books.
On appearance of town orders it shows that the follow-
ing amounts were paid for free text books for the years given:
1890 orders drawn for $500.00
1891 " *' " 334.08
1892 " " " 232.98
1893 " " " 163.35
The year '93 was my first as Supervisor and my outlay
being as above I was led to suppose that $200 was an appro-
(75)
priation hir^e enouLrh to ask for, but so large a quantity of
the books were absolutely worn out that the calls were greater
than I had looked for, Maiiy of the Readers, Arithmetics,
Spellers and Grammars, the common English books most in
use, have had to be repurchased this year. The Geographies
were in a bad condition and I saw that a great many must be
soon replaced by new ones. The book we were using was
Harpers, and the various editions disagreed with each other.
Population was based in some on the census of 1870, some
1880 and the balance 1890. A large portion of the books
were 17 years old, and it would appear our town was im-
posed upon by the Publishing House of which they were pur-
chased, for the life of a school book in the common schools
cannot be much over five years. In consultation with the
Board I decided to introduce Potters Geographies which I
believe to be the most valuable work at present. There have
been but few other changes, and they have occurred mostly
in the High School Avhere the classes are small and the ex-
pense light. To show the facts regarding this appropriation
and the expenditure I refer you to the Auditor's account
where this account is given.

From the above and by carefully looking over our school
books I have recoinmended raising ^400.00 this year for Free
Text Books. "With the unexpended balance from Repairs
Account I think $200, same amount as last year, the proper
amount to raise. As the schools are now fully supplied with
Dictionarief-', Encyclopedias, Globes, etc., there will be no
expense in these as other years, and I have therefore cut the
recommeudatijn for appropriation for schools down from
$2000 to 81800, believing that our 33 weeks may be run on
this amount. I erefore brings the recommendations to the
same figures, on the total, as the appropriations in this de-
partment were in 1894.
Tuition to Town of Boothday.
This has been one of the most disagreeable matters coming
to the care of the School Board. It was so from the fact that
it is very hard for children to change all their acquaintances
and associations which is necessary in quitting school in one
locality and commencing in another. But the division of the
towns, and the several State laws which have followed fast
since that accurred, among which the more prominent are those
of Free Text Books and the Compulsory Town System, make
it imperative on school officers, who would do their own town
justice, to grant no permits to attend away from home except
for the best of reasons. Where distance, age and season of
the year have combined to form a sufficient reason, tuition has
been paid and I think no injustice has been done. A sidewalk,
asked for by the parties interested, has been built across the
Meadow at an expense to the town of over $200, but some six
or seven pupils, which this was built largely to convene, still
attend the Boothbay schools. I declined to pay tuition in those
cases as I did not consider the reason given amounted to any
more than desire or toish on the part of the parents and chil-
dren to attend there, and in such cases the town should not be
expected to pay the costs of mere satisfaction.

The expenses in this matter have been materially reduced
the past two -years. Below is a summary since town organiza-
tion :

High School
I wish at this point to draw public attention to our High
School. I have paid more for teaching than in former years,
from the fact thar. the requirements of the school made it
obligatory. It has been found to be impossible to get good
ability for the prices we formerly paid. Our school is made
(78)
iij) of very iiulustrious and capable pupils who show by every
act that they are equally aware of their position and the value
of time. I feel that we have been very fortunate in obtaining
instructors for the school the past two years. The classes are
not now running a random course, but are "well banded to-
gether in classes, in one Course or the other, all with a definite
deject in view. Our school, in the^. studies pursued in it, and
the ability of the pupils, 1 feel positive ranks much above the
averaire Free High School of the State. From various sources
of information I am satisfied on this point. By the above
table one can see that we are educating at the present 32 ad-
vanced scholars, and, had we poorer priveleges at home, it can
easily be estimated the cash expense of educating so many
away from home. This school will be likely to be swelled to
about 40 in number next September. To properly instruct
that number may make it necessary to employ an assistant.
If such is the case no extra expense about the building need
be made, for the Board have a plan in that event, but the
extra cost of an assistant will be added. As this is a matter
that can not be known until the time arrives no extra appro-
priation is recommended.
