first social of the season next week We'd
nesday evening. Supper at O'Clock.
John T. Melbourne, who has been
yardmaster for the Warren Wooden Co.
for many years, has severed his connec-
ton with that company.
For THE PRESS: It is to be regretted
that no report of the Springs high school
was made by the chairman OF the board,
who was acting visitor for this district.
The law requires annual reports to the
selectmen from the school visitors. The
reason why this omission should occur is
not known by the writer. The custom
some years since was for the school visit
ors to hand their reports to the secretary
of the board, who placed them In the
hands Of the printer. This custom has
changed to a certain extent, so that the
secretary does not know that omissions
are made, and the law ignored, until 1t Is
too late for proper reports to be made
and placed in the hands of the printer for
publication. Just such thing occurred
last year In regard to district No. 1.
Districts Nos. / and are the most i'm
pOrtant in town, and it Is extremely an
noying that these districts should not be
represented. The whole town Is justly
proud Of the work done by these districts,
and Of the interest that all of their inhab-
itants take in order to make them first
class In every respect. | am glad to be
able to say that have information from
reliable sources, that the school In dis
trict No. 3, in its every department, has
given its patrons perfect satisfaction. |
will also add that the same efficient teach
ers are engaged here the present school
year. J. r. WAsHBURN,
Secretary OF the School Board.
