To the Committee on High School,-


At your request I submit the following statement of the work of the High and Putnam schools during the year just past.


Several changes in the teaching force have been made. Last June Miss Ruth A. Paul resigned to accept a position at Nyack, N. Y .; her place was taken by Miss Helen A. Ward, a recent Radcliffe graduate, who has given special attention to English.


Miss Mary E. Smith, teacher of history, resigned in the summer, and Miss Mabelle Moses succeeded to her position. Miss Moses is a graduate of Leland Stanford, Jr. University and has had special work in history at Radcliffe. At the opening of school Miss Bertha J. Atwater resigned on ac- count of ill health, and her position as teacher of Greek and Latin was filled by Miss Edna Moffatt, a graduate of Colby University.


The resignation of these able teachers was a great loss to the school, but the board were able to secure such efficient


7


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


and well equipped teachers to take their places that the standard of work in these departments has not suffered.


The course of study has been materially changed. Greater attention has been given to the study of English authors and to composition work. A carefully prepared list of books for study and reading has been made, each book being selected with reference to its service in cultivating the taste, stimu- lating the imagination and fostering the love of literature. By unremitting practice the power to write correctly and flu- ently is sought.


The special appropriation for the purchase of physical ap- paratus has greatly increased the efficiency of the science de- partment. Each pupil is required to perform a series of ex- periments. This affords the pupil an opportunity to acquire a knowledge of the common phenomena of the physical world and, at the same time, gives him training in observation and in drawing conclusions from his own work.


The working power of the history department has been, likewise, greatly increased by the purchase on the part of the school board of new text books and books of reference, ena- bling the teacher of that department to carry on the work in accordance with the most modern and approved methods.


The introduction of a business course provides an oppor- tunity for preparation for a business life. Commercial Arith- metic, commercial law and bookkeeping are pursued during the first two years. Stenography and type writing extend through the junior and senior years. In the junior year the principles of stenography are thoroughly learned, and facility acquired in writing and reading shorthand and in using the typewriter. The senior year is devoted to increasing the


ANNUAL REPORT


speed and to specific training for the practical application of stenography to business and professional life. This includes practice in approved business forms and commercial corre- spondence.


The question of athletics has been satisfactorily settled. The Athletic Association last year adopted the rule that no one should represent the school in any athletic contest whose standing at the time of the contest is not up to promotion standard. There has been a very marked improvement this year in the standing of those interested in athletic sports.


The graduating class consisted of fifty.one students. The school board conferred thirty-five diplomas and the Putnam trustees, sixteen.


At the graduation the three exercises given by members of the class ; namely, salutatory, class prophecy and valedictory were of unusual merit and called forth the warm praise of the speaker of the day, Rev. A. E. Winship, who afterwards spoke of them in his "Journal of Education" as follows : "The largest and most enthusiastic audience of the graduat- ing season, so far as high schools are concerned, was at New- buryport. It was the largest class by far and the preliminary exercises by three of the class were far beyond what one ex- pects on such an occasion. It is always gratifying to close commencement and graduation season with a class, school and audience of an exceptionally attractive character, as at Newburyport."


From this class four have entered Harvard; five, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; two, the University of Vermont ; one, Dartmouth ; two, Smith College ; and two, the Salem Normal.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE


The Toppan prize, given for the best examination paper in civil government, was awarded to Frank P. Woodbury, the committee on award being Nathan Withington, Esq., and Dr. Alphonzo B. Brown.


The school has been the recipient of several historical pic- tures from Miss Ethel Parton, and a set of books entitled "Great Writers," purchased with the proceeds of a fair held in 1899


At the opening of school in September 66 were admitted to the High and 30 to the Putnam school. There are at present in the school 172 High and 71 Putnam pupils.


Respectfully yours,


WALTER E. ANDREWS.

CLASS ODE


[Tune Fair Harvard]


As we set forth today to seek the bright path The future unfolds to our view, We cherish the mem'ry of days that are past A memory both tender and true. Recollection of teacher and friend ; The ties of true friendship will bind them as now, And strong may they be to the end !


Assured that "he conquers, who conquers himself " Let us live in the strength of that thought And bravely go forth to the battle of life With the course this motto has taught. O, may we be faithful, loyal and true To our motto enshrined in our love, And though now we must part, yet with fervor we pray That we all be united above. WORDS BY MISS CHRISTIE.


Benediction.

GRAMMAR SCHOOLS


-


The year ending June 27, 1900, was marked by no great event for these schools. There was the same steady work on the part of the pupils, and the same good management on the part of the teachers that have made our schools success- ful in other years. There are very few conflicts with parents, and a case of undue severity is rare indeed.


That the scholarship compares favorably with that of other places is shown by the fact that so many pupils moving into the city are unable to enter the grade that they had been in elsewhere, and that children moving away are frequently ad- vanced a grade above the class in which they would have been had they remained here.


On the whole it is believed that our schools are in excel- lent condition both as to government and as to instruction.


During the year no important changes were made in the line of work, but much time and thought were given to a new course of study. A special committee of the board was appointed, and after many consultation with the teachers and superintendent, a course was presented to the Board which was adopted, and printed during the summer vacation. Such changes were made in the previous course as the experience of the teachers and the progress in methods of instruction


15


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


rendered advisable The amount of arithmetic in the fifth and sixth grades was diminished. In the higher grades some of the subjects formerly taught in this branch of study were dropped. Geography was made topical to a great extent in all grades.


An attempt has also been made in the present course to to supply for all grades, from the first to the ninth inclusive, an outline for work in literature, in connection with reading. For this purpose a list of books suitable for home reading is given, also a list in every grade of choice selections for memorizing. It is hoped that this work will be so performed by the teachers that the children will not simply repeat the words, but that they will be questioned upon the thoughts and sentiments in such a way that their minds may be ele vated and their hearts moved to appreciate all that is noble, true and beautiful in what they repeat.


There are many problems that the wisest educators have not yet solved, and many questions, some of them new, that present themselves to those having charge of the schools. Almost everywhere it is found that old conditions have changed The colleges have so increased their demands that much of that which they formerly taught is now required of that which they formerly taught is now required of those seeking admission. This has increased the work of the high schools, and they in turn see themselves either forced to raise their standard of admission or to increase the length of their course.


In some places a year has been added to the high school course, for those intending to enter college, in some, a year has been added to the grammar school course, while in still


16


ANNUAL REPORT


others the plan of elective studies has been adopted in the grammar schools, in order that those taking a college course may receive special instruction, in the line of their future work, previous to entering the high school.


The claim has been made that from a year to a year and a half of the time in the high school is now given to work formerly done in college. We have an increase in the num- ber of branches taught in the elementary schools, with fewer hours in which to accomplish the work. The children must have the benefit of instruction in every new or old subject ad- vocated by the crank or reformer.


Much that is in itself desirable, some about which there is room for doubt, must go into the schools. At the present time in addition to the subjects we have always had, nature and art, hygiene, physiology, temperance, geometry, algebra, latin, cooking, sewing, literature, patriotism, mythology, housekeeping, drawing and music are all urged upon us.


How with all or a considerable part of these new branches shall we be able to give the pupils better preparation for the high school than they had before the so-called "enrich- ments" of our school course had been made ?


So far Newburyport has been somewhat conservative, our grammar school course has been enriched neither with latin nor goemetry. As little physiology has been taught as the law would allow, and but little algebra in connection with the arithmetic The school board has waited till new things had proved beneficial and practicable before adopting them. Not- withstanding this conservatism we have had drawing, music, cooking and sewing in practical operation. The limited ca-


17


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


pacity of our school buildings has also prevented some of the plans adopted elsewhere from being tried here.


In the latter half of the school year Miss Lillian Hamilton, second assistant in the Jackman school, resigned a position which she had filled to the satisfaction of all interested in the welfare of the school. Miss Nellie D. Barrett, a graduate of the training school, was appointed in her place. At the close of the year Miss Georgie Bartlett, principal of the school on Storey Avenue, resigned the position she had suc- cessfully filled for several years. Miss Julia Boyle, a former graduate of the training school, was appointed to fill the vacancy. In October Miss Alice W. Hopkinson resigned. Miss Hopkinson had been an assistant in the Kelley school for five years and her classes were admirably prepared. Miss Florence Ingalls, another graduate of the training school, was seletced to fill the vacancy.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS


Since the publication of the last annual report, these schools have lost the services of several excellent teachers. Miss Katherine Nutting after a few months as teacher at the Purchase street school resigned, and Miss Lillian Ross, a graduate of the Newburyport Training School, was appointed to fill the vacancy, Miss Eleanor S. Robinson, after serving with great success in the Bromfield Primary school and in the Ward room, tendered her resignation. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Miss Annie B. Richardson. Miss Richardson is also a graduate of the training school.


At the close of the school year Miss Ina C. Walton, an ex- cellent teacher in the Ward room school, also relinquished the position, and another graduate of the training school, Miss Mary F. Whitmore was appointed in her place. Many times during the past year has the value of the training school been demonstrated. Without it these positions would have been filled by strangers whose desirability would have been at least uncertain.


Miss Elizabeth H Cheever, the principal of the Congress street school, was taken sick soon after the opening of the schools, in the fall of '99, and her health not having improved, she was unable to resume her duties for the remainder of the


23


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


school year. Part of the time a substitute was placed in her room, and part of the time Miss Ross took charge, Miss Car- rie Merrill taking her place. At the beginning of the new school year Miss Cheever's health had so far improved that she was able to return to school and resume her duties as principal.


Most of the year an assistant was employed at a small salary to assist in the Temple street school, by taking some of the younger children into the entry, which is comfortably heated. There being four grades and sometimes fifty pupils in this school much better work can be done with such assist- ance and the expense is small. Assistance was given in the same way for a short time in the first grade at the Curtis school, by Miss Eleanor Forsyth. Here the necessity arose from the large number of pupils, more than the room could accommodate.


The primary schools are doing better work than ever be- fore, and doing it with less friction. The condition of the lower rooms is particularly noticeable. The children are happy, they love their school, and their teachers. The les- sons are short, as they should be for young pupils. They are also interspersed with singing, gymnastics and other exer- cises, so that the sessions are animated and attractive.
