School Meeting:

Less than 100 people attended the annual meeting of the school district Tuesday evening.

The meeting was called to order by the moderator, Warren H. Hobbs.

Owing to the absence of the clerk elected last year, Oliver W. Hobbs, article 2 was first taken up and Charles F. Adams, elected clerk for the ensuing year. Warren H. Hobbs was then re-elected moderator.

Edward J. Brown, treasurer, and Mrs. Edith C. Warren, the retiring member of the school board, were each re-elected. All the officers were elected by the casting of a single ballot for each. It was voted that the town auditors be the auditors for the school district.

Under article 6 money was voted for school purposes. The budget as printed in the town report called for $36,000. As this sum had already been tentatively approved by its inclusion in the budget of the town meeting there was little discussion of the matter. Ernest G. Cole called attention to the fact that the duties of the superintendent of schools for the school district as now organized were more than one man could perform and he thought that the town should vote a sum of money for clerical assistance. Mr. Cole then moved that $300 be added to the budget and the sum of $36,300 be raised. The motion was voted.

Under the last article there was discussion of the fact that none of the land surrounding the school buildings belonged to the school district. The title being held by the town and the question was raised if the children could legally use the ground for a play ground. Mr. Cole stated that there could be no possibility of a conflict of authority over the purpose for which the land was to be used. Mr. Christopher moved that the school board be instructed to see that an article was inserted in the warrant for the next annual town meeting to see if the town would set aside a suitable piece of land for a playground. The motion was carried.

Under this article Rev. Mr. Christopher took the opportunity to speak briefly in commendation of the splendid work of the superintendent of schools, Mr. H. L. Moore, during the past year. Mr. Moore made a fitting response and expressed deep appreciation for the good will and cooperation of the citizens of the town and also for the material assistance provided by Mr. Cole's motion to add $300 to the budget.
