At the graduation in June diplomas were awarded to 54 pupils. Of this number 27 are continuing their studies in College and other high institutions, while four have returned for post-graduate work in prepara- tion for college.
The reports coming to us of those who entered college in September are very encouraging. Some are taking very high rank in scholarship, while all are doing credit to themselves and to the school.
There has been a steadily increasing demand upon the school for those prepared for office work. Last year the demand was in excess of those prepared for the work. Business men are finding the graduates of our commercial course efficient and reliable and when in need of help are ask- ing us to recommend.
A change was made during the past year in the Scientific School pre- . paratory course eliminating the Latin and substituting additional Science and History. We believe the old course gave too much time to language training at the expense of Science and History. Two languages are still required, French and German. In connection with this change the boys taking the course are grouped in divisions by themselves. We can see already that this change was a wise one.
The Fourth Annual Contest in prize speaking for the Paul A. Mer- rill prizes was held in April. The judges were G. B. Frost, Supt. of Schools, Georgetown; Clinton J. Richards, Supt. of Schools, West New- bury and Principal J. P. Marston of Ipswich. Prizes were awarded as fol- lows: Boys, the first, ten dollars to Peter F. Dugan; the second, five dol- lars to Philip J. Murphy. Girls, the first, ten dollars to Elsie M. Reiman; the second, five dollars to Rita Cashman.
The School Chorus, under the direction of Elizabeth C. Adams, gave

its Fourth Annual Concert in February, assisted by the Boston Festival Orchestra and soloists from Boston. The work given was "The Holy City" by Alfred Gaul. The hearty appreciation and support given to the con- cert by the public give evidence to the excellence of the work. The chorus is already at work in preparation for its Fifth Annual Concert.
A beautiful bronze tablet-Gettysburg Speech-the splendid gift of one of Newburyport's citizens, now adorns the walls of our building. There have been several changes in the corps of teachers.
Miss Ethel Sullivan after a year's absence spent abroad, is back in her former position; Miss Mabel Hayes went to the Dover, N. H. High School. As her room seated only boys and was situated in the basement, it was thought best to secure a man for the vacancy, and Mr. C. D. Mont- gomery, a graduate of Dartmouth, succeeds Mr. John A. Backus. Miss Alice E. Phillips, a graduate of Holyoke and a teacher in the Waban School, succeeds Miss Ella Burnham. Miss Frances H. Kingsley resigned to accept a position in the New Bedford High, and Miss Harriet Smith, a graduate of Wellesley, was elected to her position. An additional teacher was voted, and Miss Hannah W. Pingree, a recent graduate of Radcliffe was selected. The above teachers are meeting with success as instructors and as disciplinarians. They are also showing an unfailing interest in all that pertains to the improvement of their pupils.
At the opening of school in September 159 new pupils were admitted, five to advanced classes and 154 to the first year class from the grammar schools. One hundred and twenty-seven were admitted upon the recom- mendation of their teachers and 27 upon examination.

Class Ode. . Music, Fair Harvard
Words by Sarah Elizabeth Bartlett.
Like Cortez of old. on the summit we are, Which divides our old life from the new;
By our teachers so wise we've been guided thus far; Tho' we now fondly bid them adieu. There's a feeling of sadness comes over us now We look back on the path we've trod o'er; But its pleasures will live in our memory still, As we pass to the life that's before.
The view from the summit is tempting and fair, And few dangers and trials we see;
Yet, within the fair landscape of flowers so rare, Temptations and trial will be, But our training has taught us if we wish to succeed On the highway of life that's before We must earnestly strive our motto to heed, --- "To the faithful the triumph is sure."
Benediction

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF TRAINING SCHOOL.
The Training School for teachers, established in the autumn of 1889 has completed its twentieth year of existence; during that time one hun- dred forty_three young ladies have been graduated. Of this number, ninety-one have been residents of our city.
As has been repeatedly suggested by those interested, the school needs more room and that room better fitted to meet the needs of the school, and yet in spite of this great hinderance the graduates have taken position in the cities of our state where the best work is done and the highest sal- aries paid.
The school is represented in the cities of Somerville, Cambridge, New- ton, Melrose, Haverhill and even in Seattle and Washington. The course in the school has been changed from a year and a half to two years; grad- uating a class of eight once a year.
Whether this will be advantageous to the school or not remains to be proved.
It is certainly a benefit to the city, as it gives the pupil teachers time to assist teachers needing help; to do much of the substitute work in the school; and to do clerical work in the office of the Superintendent. By a vote of the school board this is done with no extra remuneration, thus sav- ing the city many dollars in the course of the year.
A change has also been made in not allowing the pupil teachers any salary until the second year and then not so much as formerly. This re- duces the running expenses of the school.
By these changes the school at present is doing more work than ever before at less expense.
These items should be taken into consideration when the cost of the Training School is considered.
This assisting and substituting is very valuable to the young teacher herself as it brings her into contact with other teachers, other children, with work not supervised by the principal, and gives her power to adapt herself to meet emergencies.
As one School Superintendent expressed it "girls from the Newbury- port Training School certainly know how to step into a school room and go to work."
Respectfully,
FRANCES WARD RICHARDS.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC. -
Mr. E. L. Willard,
Superintendent of Schools.
The musical work in our schools has been carried on on much the same lines as in previous years.
Looking backward, I can see there has been a steadily growing in- terest in the study of music, consequently a steady improvement.
The best results, however, cannot be obtained without proper material with which to work.
The imperative need of such material, especially for the ninth grades, impels me to call your attention once more to this fact.
The ninth grades can do no more than is supplied them.
They are able to do, and are doing four part work, but in the books now furnished, there is not one four part song or exercise.
Since music was added to the school work, in eighteen hundred ninety-seven, the only new material furnished has been a few four part exercises, music for the graduations, and, incidentally, books to replace those worn out.
The work which seems to me best adapted to our needs is one com- piled by the Supervisor of Music in the city of Brockton, who, by reason of his ability and long experience, must know the requirements of his pupils.
The Weaver slips furnished two years ago, for use in the lower grades, are meeting a long felt want.
Not only does the individual work prove an incentive to the child to do his best, but the teacher is able to find out what each child is capable of doing.
The High School is doing very good work. The Annual Concert took place January 29th when Gauls "The Holy City" with soloists and orchestra was given, together with a miscellaneous program.
This concert was successful, both musically and financially.
The High School chorus was again invited to take part in the after- noon program of our April Choral Union Festival, singing the "Damascus Triumphal March" and the "Wedding March" from the "Rose Maiden," with accompaniment by the full Festival Orchestra.
Respectfully Submitted,
ELIZABETH C. ADAMS,
Supervisor of Music.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE DRAWING TEACHER.
-
Mr. E. L. Willard,
Superintendent of Schools.
The uses and methods of drawing are becoming more clearly under- stocd by the pupils of our Primary and Grammar Grades and the work is moving onward with encouraging enthusiasm.
We wish to arouse in the children a love for the beautiful; to train their eyes to see, their hands to do, not only in drawing in its various branches but in many other things in which drawing is a means, a ladder, a pathway and an aid.
The majority of the pupils are truly interested in this branch of study. During the past year, several primary and grammar pupils have taken prizes in the School Arts' Guild, originated and managed by the editor of the School Art's Book, Henry Turner Bailey, and several others have received "Honorable Mention" for good work.
During the first week of the fall term, an extensive display of draw- ings was shown in one of the large exhibition halls, at the fair grounds. This represented an immense amount of work and was seen and, we think, appreciated by a large number of the people who visited the fair.
This year, more thought and effort are to be put into the design work. More mechanical work is to be done by the boys and one room is planning to do something in charcoal work, charcoal being an excellent medium to develop breadth of sight and execution. We need also, more correlation between drawing and the other studies taught. We need to make use of the drawing with which to express ourselves in other branches. We need more freedom, more breadth in our drawings, correlation strengthened. The use of drawing to help other studies is one of its excuses for being upon the list of things taught. Fancy work is not the aim of our teaching.
To be truly effective, manual training should be brought to the sup- port of drawing. The construction of things planned, hath no rival in pleasure-giving qualities. Only he who has tried it knows fully. And through pleasant occupations do we learn the most.
In the High School, the drawing classes have increased in size, while the facilities for effective instruction have decidedly decreased, owing to the limited room for the classes. However, we are doing the best that we can under the very hampering circumstances.
It is becoming a pleasure to instruct the High School classes, as a
32
ANNUAL REPORT
large majority of the students are truly students; earnest boys and girls who wish to gain as much insight as possible into this branch before entering the various higher schools of science and art. Up to this time, the mechanical drawing course taken up in the High School has been adapted from one suggested and blocked out by one of our State Super- intendents of drawing, but several changes will be made in it this year to better fit it to the needs of those students who are to enter the Insti- tue of Technology and similar higher schools.
The mechanical course deals with printing, geometrical problems to develop thoughtful accuracy, problems in projection, perspective drawing and as much free-hand work as can be given in the limited space of time. These branches, together with some machine drawing, make up the course, broadly speaking, and as much work is done as one forty-five minute period a week per class will permit.
The free-hand classes, through no one's fault, are broken up into mixed classes. This is due to the number of studies in the curriculum and can- not be avoided. It is better this year, in that respect, than formerly, however.
In all discipline and work which I have had to do in any of the schools, from primary to High, I have received much help from the teachers, the principals and the superintendent, for which I am grateful. I wish also to thank Mr. Chase for his efficient help at the time of our drawing ex- hibition, and I am truly grateful for what the School Board has been able to do to aid me in my year's work.
We are working hard. We are learning. It has been said that it is better to journey hopefully than to arrive. We have not arrived, but it is our desire to journey hopefully.
Very respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE M. MURPHY.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT ON DOMESTIC SCIENCE. -
Mr. E. L. Willard, Supt. of Schools,
Newburyport, Mass.
Industrial education has become one of the important questions of the day.
Judging from the many meetings and detailed reports on the sub- ject, there has never been a time when the interest has been so general as during the last year.
The reason for this is, no doubt, that the idea of a vocational training for our growing generation naturally appeals more to the great mass of people than to the more formal avocational training which the schools are giving.
It is hoped in the near future that this course may be taken up by the younger pupils in the lower grades, that more time can be given to working out in detail this subject of Household Economics in its broadest term.
Respectfully submitted, SARA A. CHASE,
Teacher of Domestic Science.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE EVENING SCHOOL.
Mr. E. L. Willard,
Superintendent of Schools.
The present term of the evening school began October 18th, with a large attendance, the total enrollment since opening being 224, and the largest number present on any one evening 153. More than half the pupils are adults. There are 67 between the ages of twenty and thirty, 7 between thirty and forty, and one is forty-five years old.
The principal branches taught are reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic, and, in the upper room algebra and bookkeeping.
Incidentally much information is given on other subjects, especially to those of foreign birth, who form a large part of those attending the school. They are natives of Russia, Austria, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Portugal, Finland, Armenia, Canada and Ireland. Many of these men and women are learning to read and write and speak the English language, and it is a pleasure to teach them, they are so attentive and industrious.
In addition to the principal, the teachers, at the present time are Edith M. Merrill, Retta V. Marr, Jennie P. Brown, Cora O. Jaques, C. Louise Woodbury, Gertrude E. Nelson, Flora Pettigrew, Catherine C. Hunt, Elizabeth M. Roaf, Alonzo G. Hearne, and Adeline R. Hale.
These teachers are all doing admirable work, and accomplishing re- sults which fully justify the maintenance of an evening school.
Respectfully yours,
WM. P. LUNT, Principal.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF TRUANT OFFICER.

-
Gentlemen of the School Committee:
I present my annual report for the year ending June 30th, 1909. Number of schools visited 1694.
of absences reported by teachers 1141.
of parents or guardians notified 1072.
of children absent from school on suspicion 156.
of cases of truancy 107
of children returned to school from street 42. of factories visited 84.
The first of March I received an order from his Honor the Mayor, to visit the Picture Houses some time during the afternoon sessions. I found that the managers were ready and glad to keep those out who were not accompanied by some parent or guardian. This order had a gocd effect on those who had tried to get out of the way from school. I wish to thank Mr. Dixon and all others who have helped with shoes and clothing to keep needy children at school. I have a great many calls for shoes and this is one of the greatest reasons for children being absent from school.
I found in taking the census that quite a few families had moved from the city, but still the census showed a gain of 17 over last year.
Respectfully submitted, JOSHUA L. CHASE,
Truant Officer.
