 Under the new system the committee pro- vided three months school last winter. At an expense of S4 dollars and repaired the school house at an expense of $25 77, making a total outlay of about $110 for this year. The average attendance during the term was seven, of which three came from the East Chest. nut Hill School, so that the actual attendance And this is fair attendance. as on the first of \ January the enumeration was only eight.

The remainder ol the expense must come from town taxes
