The only remarks which the selectmen
make in their report are as follows
The aims house is totally inadequate
for the accommodation of the large
number of inmates and prisoners who
are committed to the institution by the
court, and as the number is increasing
every year the question of providing new
accommodations is one which should be
considered without delay. The present
main structure is old and needs constant
repairs to make it comfortable. Addl-
tions have been provided from time to
time as more room was required, and as
the rooms are now arranged it is one of
the most inconvenient buildings of the
kind in the state. We recommend the
construction of an entirely new building
in place of the present structure.

TOWN SCHOOLS.
The report of Prof j. A. Moran and
Martin Brennan, visitors of the outlying
school districts, which is appended to the
selectmen's report, will be found interest
ing. The following excerpts are taken
from the report: .ul.. au- .s .,=
Hopeville, already the largest of the
districts, shows a steady increase in
numbers. A one-story addition to the
| intermediate department is recommend
ed. School was taught here forty
| weeks. Enumeration, 24 registered,
236; average attendance, 11S. The re-
ceipts were 81 1854 and the expendi-
ture is the same.
The East Mountain school, the visitors
say, is still large enough for all the de-
mands made on it. The scholars who
attend are well advanced and reflect
much credit on teacher, Miss E. G.
Woodruff. There were thirty-six weeks
of school work enumeration, II; regis
| tered, % average attendance, IL. The
receipts were, $342.S5, and expenditures,
1885, 80.
The usefulness of the Sawmill Plain
district school has been greatly increased
by the addition of second room for the
advanced scholars. The classes are
better graded and good results are very
preceptible. The visitors think it would
be mistake to allow the two teachers,
Miss Adelaide Frost and Miss Mollie
Walker, to withdraw. School was held
thirty-siX weeks; enumeration. 70; reg
istered, So; average attendance, 55.ll.
Receipts were, So, 506.02; expenditures,
So, 1884. So; having a balance on hand of
$121.51.
The visitors condemn the miserable
condition of the Bucks Hill school, and
say that it seems as if the world moves
too fast for some of the inhabitants of
of the erection of a new and large school
house has been repeated by each success
sive board to no purpose. School weeks,
81 .; enumeration, 40; registered, 80 &;
average attendance, 21.3. The receipts
were, $293.S1 and were balanced by the
expenditures.
The previous good standing of the
Oronoke school has been maintained
under the present teacher, Miss Kane.
School weeks, "a ; enumeration, 81 ;
registered, fl average attendance 90.
Receipts, $319.39, which were balanced
by expenditures.
The East Farms school is small but of
sufficient seating capacity for all the de-
mands likely to be made on it for some
time. The progress is as good as could
be expected. School weeks, "a emu
merated, "A registered, 90; average at
tendance, ~. Financial report not yet
received.
The visitors find little to criticise in
the matter of instruction in the Bunker
Hill school. They regret, however, that
the school lot cannot be graded SO as to
make better play ground. Enumera-
ton, 70 registered, 81 ; average at
tendance, 35. Receipts. S1,964.27 which
was balanced by expenditures.
The Waterville school has been found
to be in a very satisfactory condition
both as to attendance, progress snd dis
cipline. Miss Stevens aud Miss Kirk are
complimented by the visitors. En-
umeration, 40; receipts, $732. 81, expen-
ditures, $726.5S, leaving balance of
$7.09.
In the Town Plot school the attendance
has been found to be good and the school
work very commendable. The visitors
think that a few wards of wire sfretchad
from side to side near the ceiling would
prevent the echo that now prevails
Enumeration, IS; average attendance
25; appropriation from town treasury
$500. Financial report not received.
