 In regard to the fact that the re- port of the acting school visitor for the current year, did not appear in the annual town report. wish in jus tice to myself, to say that pursuant to a custom practiced for the last twenty eight years, l sent early in September to the selectmen, the re- port in question, and naturally 1 was surprised that the same was not printed.
 I presume this failure to print the report was due to some oversight or misunderstanding on the part of the selectmen, and as they still have the report in their keeping. l shall be pleased after they return it to me. to submit the same for publication, should such a course seem desirable. Yours truly,
