REMARKS.-In this town there are mths. dys. nine school districts. The aggregate 7 number of months they are kept in winter is nineteen, or two months 7 and three days, on an average. The aggregate in summer is twenty-seven months and seven days, or a fraction more than three months each on an 11 average. Under the head of average attendance in the schools, the number of scholars is not carried out against the respective districts either in the winter or summer columns; but in the winter column, the words "six sevenths of the time," are written at length; and in the summer column, the words "seven eighths of the

were true, it would shew the average attendance for winter and summer, in each of the nine schools, to be exactly the same. Probably, registers were $175 00 not kept in the schools, and the proportions stated are conjectural.

REMARKS.-The town appropriates $27 32, for instructing the children in the alms-house. The Committee say, 15 "we are not informed how it is this 15 year laid out;" the town is, therefore, set down in the Abstract as having nine schools only.

The number of scholars of all ages in the schools, "in winter," and "in summer," and the average attendance in the schools, "in winter," and "in summer," as required, is not given. 8 The whole number of scholars in both 3 cases, (with the exception of one district,) is carried into the "summer" column. The Committee say, "the average attendance for summer and $24 87 winter was not taken by our predecessors; we, therefore, have no data for $10 90 the last winter, save in one instance,

and cannot report for the coming one. $2,000 00 We are unable to report the precise number that do attend school in each district; we have, therefore, set the $2,000 00 whole number against each district." It appears that the whole number of persons in the town between the ages None. of 4 and 16, "as ascertained by the census taken by the assessors of the town," was 1,007. This exact number has been divided among the nine 3 school districts, under the head of "number of scholars of all ages in each school district."
