In compliance with an act passed by the Legislature of 1893 your Assessors on the 12th day of March last com menced the appraisal of all school property in the town, tak ing as a basis upon which to work the suggestion of State Superintendent Luce, that the school property should be valued at a fair cash value. This we have tried to conform to. We found that the value of the school property in the several districts would not effect the tax of persons in the districts to so great an extent as the valuation of the taxable prop erty within the limits of the several districts would ; for instance, the School District at Black Point we found the best school house in town, but owing to the large valuation of property within its limits, amounting to $234,473, the rebate tax was very low per thousand, and in District No. 13 at North Scarboro, where we found a comfortable school building, which we valued at a nominal sum, the exceeding small valuation or amount of property within its limits being only $25,114, caused an exceedingly large rebate tax. While we do not question the wisdom of the departure from the old school district system which we were obliged to adopt, still we realize that the citizens of the town in 45 nine districts have been obliged to bear a burdensome tax mid it almost seems an injustice to be obliged to pay for advantages and not receive any benefit from them. The ' aluc of the new system future experience will prove. We an under great obligations to Qapt. Cyrus F. Moulton, l'' luit McLaughlin, B. F. Carter, William Merrill, Johnson- I .Ibliy, John H.

It has been my pleasant duty for the past year'to have under my care the schools of our town No subject se cures my attention more quickly than the question of right education for children. I think I can say that our schools are in the most flourishing condition of my remembrance. The conscientious and painstaking efforts of the teachers, united with the careful and earnest work of the students, have met with great success. The teachers of the several schools have carried into their work patience, energies and abilities, for which I cannot too highly commend them. The students have seen at once that there was to be no sham work, and have nobly performed their part in thor oughly preparing each task allotted to them. Students should first acquire the principles of good penmanship, spelling and reading aloud, which includes a clear and distinct enunciation. If they fail to do this they will be forever after ham pered by the deficiency, In these branches taught there has been a great im provement. 58 In arithmetic it has been our great object to have the students thoroughly understand each subject taught before advancing to the subsequent subject. Mathematics is the one science that is completely logical and trains the mind in precise and exact habits of thought that cannot be found in any other branch of the common school course. Much attention has been given to grammar, for I think with President Eliot of Harvard University, that “ the great object or all education is to learn how to speak and write well the mother tongue.” The students made good progress in geography. United States History has received a large share of atten tion, and each student has been taught to be proud of being an American child. From time to time the schools have had declamations. The great object ot life is the formation of character, and the time to shape and mould that character is in youth. To inspire the young to make the most of themselves must be done by teaching them the characteristics of repre sentative men and women, who have been great and noble. In connection with this work I have'introduced into the schools during the year two books—Ethics of success No. 1 and No. 2, a work which commends itself. The minds of teachers and students have been in school work, and I have found orderly schools at my visits. In the choice of teachers it has been my purpose to select those who possess the greatest abilities and dispo sitions suitable for governing. I am proud to say that I have been successful in secur- ng teachers within our own town, and have endeavored tq fill the positions with pur own teachers. 59 The necessary repairs havebeen made on the school houses during the year. Nextyear there will be many necessary repairs on the school building, as the ceilings will have to be whitened, etc.,' and other necessary repairs in order to protect the health of the students. In the purchase of supplies it has been my object to buy where I could the cheapest and for the general interest of all concerned. T1 e amount appropriated at the last an nual meeting for supplies was rather scant. There arc many thiggs which the schools really need in the way ol supplies and which must be purchased the coming yeni The salaries of the teachershave been fixed a...... line to the amount of work involved. Ka< h linnl ha . n > • e ■ d the same number ol weeks, giving tin •.tilth lit-. "I • ,u I......

I lia i given instructions to the. truant officers and labou il t. > n complish the objects of the law of compulsory education, in which I think we have been successful. It is very gratifyifying to state that the financial comb tion of our schools for the present year is excellent. There will probably be a fair surplus left from the appropriation after all debts are paid. We recommend for the coming year that the town raise the same amount for the support of common schools. The success of the new school law is not to be ques tioned. It has already, during the first year of its exist ence, accomplished many of the advantages which the authors of the act so plainly and clearly foretold. 6 0 The instruction of the high school has been under the care of Mr. George H. Stoddard, whose earnest and faith ful efforts deserve the highest commendations. It has been our object to establish that course of study which will be most practical to the students after their school days are finished and they enter upon their vocations of life. Written examinations of each term’s work have been given to all the students, and they have been required to attain a certain percentage upon the work of each term, for the general welfare of the students and that the school might attain its present high standard. The work of teacher and students of this school de serve the highest praise. To-day we have a High School in the Town of Scar- boro, of which all wise and conscientious citizens may well be proud. In conclusion I wish to state that each and every school within the town has done good and faithful work ; there being no disturbance in any school to my knowledge. I am pleased to give to each school individually this excellent report. Thanking the citizens of Scarboro for the courtesy shown me by them, and for their loyal support, hearty co operation and assistance given me while in the discharge and performance of my duties. I am your obedient servant, JNO. A. SNOW, Supervisor o f Schools. ALVAN B. LARRABEE, GRANVILLE McKENNEY, GEORGE SCAMMAN, II. IT, ALLEN, |N<>. A, SNOW, Sec, of Com. ' a AHIIOKO, Kel). Ill, 1805.
