had the better of North Adams by a
small margin in the batting but the

have something in reserve whenev-

a runner on the sacks. His control

that his team mates could not come
through with the stick when hits
would have been of value. Three OF
the four runs scored by North Ad-

to infield errors, although the boun-
der that Harrington drove through
McHsgh was a hard ball to handle.
The two runs secured by Ben

from an attempted double steal by
Carroll and Prindle. Gable hao

SCHOOL MEETING MONDAY
Regular Annual Meeting To Be Mon
day Afternoon.

The regular annual meeting OF the
graded school district will be held
Monday afternoon at 100 o'clock at
the schoolhouse. Inasmuch as the
question as to new high school has
been settled at special meetings
there is only routine business to
come up at this meeting.
The terms of two trustees expire,
c. s. Perry in ward Z and F. Z.
Howe in ward 5. All the other trus'
tees hold over.
The annual school report was is
sued yesterday and shows the pub
lie schools OF Bennington In the best
shape they have ever been. The
courses have been changed to meet
modern conditions and to pay more
attention to trainging for active
business and industrial life while at
the same time giving the boys and
girls, who want to enter college, the
proper fitting.
The auditors report, which comes
at the end of the book, is somewhat
misleading, probably because the
auditors merely looked over the YOU
points in Connection Herewith. They
state that the receipts of the district
the past year were 1881 more than
the preceding year and leave the
reader to draw any inference he
chooses.
AS matter of fact $500 of this
money was borrowed to pay for the
new high school site and that the
money was used to acquire this
asset for the district. The other
thousand dollars came from the God
frey fund and from the slightly in
creased avails of taxation due to an
increased grand list.
The auditors further state in their
report that the orders drawn
amounted to $2573 more than for the
year previous leaving the inference
that the schools cost that much
more. The truth is that the actual
cost of the schools was practically
the same as for the preceding year
with the exception that the growth
of the high school compelled the ad
dition of one more teacher in that
department. The greater part of the
apparent increase is due 20 the fact
that last year owing to coal strike
the school supply of coal came late
| bringing the bills of one year and a
part of next together This alone
made the orders for coal the past
year above $500 more than for the
year previous though the amount OF
coal actually consumed was less. Al
the present time the coal for the
larger half Of next winter is in and
paid for '
Taking this into consideration the
net gain in assets over a year ago Is
about $500 not including the new
high school site for which the dis
trict has gone into debt $500, but
has the lot which balances the ex
penditure.
In the recapitulation OF orders the
cost Of the high school site is put IL
twice when to be perfectly clear 4
should have been listed separated
as It has nothing to do with tn,
regular school expenses. To reas
the auditors report one would thinl
the district had borrowed twice al

penses was a thousand dollars less
