None of the pupils from this school have entered any High School during the year, but several of, the pupils are ex- pecting to take an examination for entrance to the Northamp- ton High School at the close of this year, and your committee would again suggest that in those studies where pupils have failed to pass a satisfactory examination heretofore, especial care should be taken to understand the requirements thor- oughly before taking the examination.

The teachers in this school have both graduated from the Westfield Normal school, and have been able to apply many of the lessons which they learned there in their school work here, the results of which can be readily seen. -

More seats are needed in this school-room, but there seems to be no convenient place in which to put them, and it will be necessary to seat the pupils either in chairs or on the benches at the side until some other arrangement can be made.
Oscar C. Bartlett has entered the High School in East, hampton the past year and is doing good work in that school- we are told, and we hope those who are now fitting for some High School another year will pass as atisfactory examination.
To do this requires thorough and persistent work in the first principles of those studies on which the examinations are to be made.

GENTLEMEN :-
I respectfully submit the regular annual report of the Superintendent of Schools for the school year 1899-1900.
There is nothing new to report. We have carried out the work on the plan described in the report of last year. The only change in text books has been the substitution of an easier and more suitable geography in place of Frye's Complete in grades below the ninth. In arithmetic we are trying to get better results in teaching the pupils to think by using more problems and less abstract work. In the lower grades constant emphasis is laid upon the combinations and the multiplication tables. They are the foundation of all work in arithmetic. d

The use of the outlines has been continued and I believe that they are a great advantage, because they enable me to guide the work more carefully and to test it more thor- oughly. Another advantage in our present system of grad- ng is that pupils know where they are in the course and can compare themselves with pupils in other towns. For exam- ple, one of the pupils from this town attended a school in Easthampton for a time during the past winter. The teacher knew exactly where to place her, and the child was able to do the work without any break, and this would be true in any town of the state, because, in the better schools, the subjects are taken up in about the same order and same year.
The subject of regular attendance is one that has been mentioned many times, but it becomes more important when the pupils are doing regular work and are advancing over a regular course. If the schools accomplish anything, a pupil cannot be absent without losing something that he can never make up if he goes on with his class. It is not fair to those who are present to go over the same lessons again when the absent pupil returns.
The most important sections of the state laws in regard to school attendance are appended. Also, a calendar for the coming year.
Very respectfully,
W. D. MILLER.
