ANNUAL REPORT
EVENING SCHOOLS
The evening schools were opened at the usual time in Tem- ple street. Two sessions a week were held in each department ; the boys' school in charge of Mr. W. P. Lunt as principal, with Miss Helen S. Merrill, Miss Flora Pettigrew and Miss Harriet Colman as assistants, on Tuesday and Friday evenings ; the girls' school, with Miss Lizzie C. Ireland, principal, Miss Margaret Sargent and Miss Amelia Whittier, assistants, on Monday and Thursday evenings.
In both of these schools excellent order was maintained. The entire time of each pupil was devoted to work. Many of the pupils were in the elementary classes, learning to read, write and cipher.
While the attendance was not large, the advance made and the interest shown were gratifying. The room which had pre- viously been dimly lighted by kerosene lamps was furnished with gas, which supplied excellent light.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
" All things that are worth doing in art are interesting and attract- ive when they are done. There is no law of right which consecrates dullness. The proof of a thing being right is that it has power over the heart ; that it excites us, wins us, or helps us - and there is no goodness in art which is independent of the power of pleasing."
- Ruskin.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE : -
Looking back over the work in drawing since last January, one cannot but see that there has been growth. The previous training has made it possible to take up the various subjects with less preliminary drill, in this way having time for more real work.
From the first there has been an unusual uniformity of results throughout the city in corresponding grades. Now one can detect the real artistic spirit creeping in here and there, which may be accounted for in this way. At first the teachers of the various grades, working with the same instructions, produced much the same results. Though they still work from the same directions, each teacher has gained something from past experience and so adds more or less individuality. More of this is desired.
Colored pencils were introduced in the three primary grades last spring, with very satisfactory results. Otherwise the primary grades have continued doing as well as in the previous year.
In the grammar work the fourth grades, taken as a whole, show the greatest improvement. In the principals' rooms (eighth grade) the pupils can do better work in less time than before. The fifth, sixth and seventh grades have not progressed as noticeably.
34
ANNUAL REPORT
The brushes which were introduced in September in the principals' rooms have been the means of much profit, for the following reasons : First, in aiding the pupil to see and represent the whole and then the parts of any object or group of objects ; second, in their power of plac- ing this upon paper by means of freer lines.
In the High school there has been a MARKED improvement. Now, having had some previous work in drawing, the pupils are ready for the two courses, which may be called the regular course and the me- chanical course. The latter is especially for those pupils who have in view the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, although any pupil may take this course.
The fourth class are required to take drawing ; above this class drawing is optional. A pupil may choose one or both of these two courses or he may discontinue drawing.
For the mechanical course more material was necessary. A dozen cases of good instruments and a dozen bottles of Higgins' ink were supplied by the city. Fourteen pupils bought sets of their own.
The work from all the classes is much better than ever before. . The previous year's training shows more here than in any other grade.
The first public exhibition of drawing, comprising all the thirteen grades of school, was held in Fraternity hall from May 18 to 20 inclus- ive. Very few of the visitors realized before that so much was taught under the broad subject of drawing. Even the teachers knew very little of the work done in the other grades.
In many ways this public exhibition was very profitable. It seems desirable that our second annual exhibition be held the first week in June, that there may be time for some work in design.
On the whole, I feel that drawing has grown quite satisfactorily and that it shows a good prospect for future growth.
Respectfully submitted,
SADIE MAY MORSE,
Supervisor of Drawing.
COOKING SCHOOL
During the summer vacation of 1897 a committee of ladies, consisting of Miss Abbie Noyes Little, Miss Margaret W. Cush- ing, Miss Anna L. Coffin and Mrs. Edmund P. Graves, started a cooking school in the basement of the Jackman school. The necessary funds were raised by private subscription without diffi- culty. The committee on public property kindly allowed the use of the room and furnished it with water. The school com- menced July 15, with thirteen pupils, ranging in age from twelve to sixteen years. The pupils were instructed in the proper way of preparing the simple dishes used in every family. In addition to the bare cooking they were taught the reasons for every step, the possible variations, the relative value as food, and the use of each dish in the human economy.
The public interest in the school was such that at the close of the vacation the ladies who had initiated and successfully car- ried out the project decided to offer all the fixtures to the school board, if they would continue the school during the coming school year.
A committee of three members of the school board, who were appointed to investigate, reported as follows :
" Under the exceptionally favorable circumstances offered by the ladies who conducted the cooking school for a few weeks this summer, your committee would advise the opening of a cooking school, as an experiment, making the same obligatory for all girls of the eighth
36
ANNUAL REPORT
grade. To do this successfully it would be necessary to divide the schools into three classes, which will receive their instruction in rota- tion, one class taking for ten weeks the whole of Wednesday forenoon and occupying the usual hours of school work.
The committee would also further recommend, to save the expense of an additional janitor, that the lower room of the Purchase street school building, the Charles street side, be used for this purpose, and that the furniture offered by the ladies be removed thereto.
Should this report meet with the approval of the board, we would request that the committee on janitors make the necessary arrange- ments for the care of the room."
The report was accepted and recommendations adopted. Miss Elizabeth H. Little, who had taught the school during the vacation, was chosen as teacher ; the committee on janitors made all the necessary arrangements, and the school commenced its work the first of November.
If any have doubts about the wisdom of such instruction, a visit to the school would quickly dispel them. The neatness, the systematic way in which everything is done, and the great inter- est shown by the scholars, are worthy of the highest commenda- tion.
Our city has not yet introduced manual training ; the cook- ing school is a step in that direction, taken at a very small expense.
37
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
MUSIC SYSTEM
With the opening of the new school year, September, 1897, the schools commenced a uniform system of instruction in music, with a special teacher in that branch. In the winter of 1896-7 a committee of the school board was appointed to consider what system was best adapted, in their opinion, to that purpose. This committee, after careful deliberation, reported recommending the Natural System of Music, published by the American Book Com- pany.
The recommendation was adopted and music charts provid- ed for all the schools. At the time of the appointment of teach- ers Miss Elizabeth C. Adams was chosen as supervisor of music, to give instruction in all the schools of the city in this system. Miss Adams entered upon her duties in September. She had only given two months to the work when ill health compelled her to resign. Mr. Grant Drake of Melrose was chosen as su- pervisor of music and entered upon his duties early in Decem- ber.
38
ANNUAL REPORT
NO RECESS
The plan of dispensing with recess in the forenoon session of the primary and grammar schools and dismissing the pupils fifteen minutes earlier was tried and found so beneficial that it has been made a part of the rules and regulations.
All teachers are expected to give enough gymnastic exercises to afford the needed change and relief from continuous sitting in the seats. There were many features connected with the former system of recess midway in the forenoon session which worked injuriously to the schools as a whole and to the children individ- ually. In cold weather there were only a few children who played vigorously and were benefitted by active exercise in the open air, while the greater number of the pupils stood around. watching the others, getting chilled and frequently taking cold. Then the difficulties that arose during recess required a large portion of the teacher's attention to adjust. Without the recess the same amount of time can be given to the work of the school with better results.
This plan has worked so successfully in other cities where it has been adopted that no wish is expressed to return to the old system of recess in the forenoon.
39
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
IMPROVEMENT IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS
-
The enlargement of the building on Ashland street was com- pleted and the building ready for occupancy in January, 1897. There are now four rooms, all of them spacious, well lighted, well heated, and thoroughly ventilated. Each of these rooms has forty-two desks for pupils, with one grade to a room. Miss Frances L. Pettigrew, the principal of the school, has the fourth grade in the front room of the second floor. On the same floor, in the rear, Miss Sarah F. Badger, the first assistant, has charge of the third grade. On the first floor Miss Charlotte Dickins has the second grade and Miss Julia J. Hubbard the first.
During the July and August vacation the city government placed in the Kelley school a new system of heating and ventila- tion. By this system an even temperature and pure air are guar- anteed at all times and in all weathers. Although work was begun immediately at the close of the school year, it was impos- sible to get the building ready for occupancy till a week after the opening of the other schools.
There are now two school buildings heated and ventilated according to the requirements of the State, and it is understood that the city government will gradually, as fast as the financial condition permits, continue the work of improving the school buildings.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE TRUANT OFFICER
GENTLEMEN OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :
The following table, which I have the honor to submit to your consideration, will show the work which I have performed during the school year ending July 3, 1897.
The census of school children, taken May 1, 1897, accompa- nies this report. The number of children of school age is some- what less than last year, owing to the dullness of business, which has caused the removal of many families from the city.
Respectfully,
ROBERT G. ALLEN, Truant Officer.
