In the choosing of curricula (courses) the numerical tendency is, com- mercial (maximum), scientific, general, Latin (minimum). The tendency is towards the choosing of the manual arts and the avoidance of the for- eign languages and mathematics.
By persistent effort the attendance and punctuality for 1922-1923 showed improvement over that of the preceding year, the average attend- ance being 93.8% and the average punctuality being 97.2%.
The marshal system which has for its chief object the supervision of the filing between recitations was in the immediate charge of Clement F. Hilton as Head-Marshal. It did its work effectively.
The class gift was three hundred dollars, deposited in the Institution for Savings, and to be used to purchase a memorial to the class in the new high school. In addition money was set aside for a
football field line marker and for the installation of water at the field.
The Newburyport Woman's Club scholarship, annually offered to the most deserving and meritorious young woman of the graduating class, who is a citizen of Newburyport and who is to continue her education in normal school or business college was awarded to Elizabeth Miriam Leary. Miss Leary is a student at Salem Normal School.
The Toppan Frize, of the value of twelve dollars, for passing the best examination in the theory of government and the Washington-Franklin Medal for excellence in American History were awarded to Stephen Charles Volpone.
The Class of 1898 Prize for excellence in character and for having done more than any other pupil for the school was awarded to Clement Forest Hilton. This prize was a silk watch fob carrying a beautifully en-
17

graved gold charm. This prize is regarded as most significant and valua- ble.
One of the outstanding features of the year was "Better Speech Week," from November sixth to November thirteenth, in accordance with the sug- gestion of the National Council of English Teachers. On Thursday, Nov- ember thirteenth, a program was given at City Hall, consisting of Good English parade and two skits entitled "The Downfall of Poor Speech" and the "Trial of Bad English," respectively. The program was in charge of the pupils.
Another item worthy of note was the excellent record of the 1922 foot- ball team both in victories and in good sportsmanship. They won seven of the nine games and the reputation for fair play which they established for the school has influenced many prominent schools to seek us for their schedules. Mr. Starr M. King was, and fortunately still is, our faculty manager and coach. It should be noted too that on Saturday, November 4, 1922, we won from Salem for the third time in twenty years-this time by a score of 6-0. It was "teamwork" that won the day.
The Senior Play for 1922-1923 was "Clarence" by Booth Tarkington.
The cast was as follows:
Clarence Miss Pinney Mr. Wheeler Mrs. Wheeler
Cora Bobby Mrs. Martyn Hubert Stem Delia Dinwiddy
George Hubbard Janet Goodwin Malcolm Shaw Kathryn Bergeron Margaret Little Clement Hilton Ruth Bingham Thomas Bixby Helen Thurlow William Elliott
The proceeds from both nights (Friday, February 9, and Saturday, Feb- ruary 10, 1923), were $658.35. The coach was Mr. Rex G. Bailey, the in- structor in Manual Training at the High School. The cast played to capa- city houses on each night.
Our pupils are welcome at the higher institutions which they attend because of their personality, earnestness, and character. They find them- selves handicapped, however, in taking their places on equal footing with their fellow students by reason of the necessarily inadequate preparation which can be afforded at Newburyport High School. The crowded condi- tions, the short periods and unhygienic surroundings, coupled with insuffi- cient facilities and equipment make a high order of college preparation al-
18
ANNUAL REPORT SCHOOL COMMITTEE
most impossible. It is, however, to the larger number of pupils,-those who do not go to higher institutions-that the great injustice is done. The wealth of experience and of opportunity for self-expression which is offered in modern high schools is quite denied Newburyport young people. Those who go to other schools and colleges do have, later, this experience and op- portunity. Not so, on the other hand, with those whose formal education ceases with their high school attendance.
A State supervisor of secondary education recently visited our high school and in substance expressed himself as follows :-
"I feel that the first and greatest need so far as the high school in Newburyport is concerned is a new building. I do not like to seem unkind or uncomplimentary but I think the Newburyport high school building is the worst building for a large high school that I have seen in the state. Of course your building is overcrowded. This condition is not uncommon but there are worse things than that in the case of your high school building. It is inconviently arranged; it is not attractive inside; and it is not possible in such a building to offer the pupils the opportunities which a good high school the size of yours ought to offer.
I would strongly urge that the school authorities in Newburyport take steps at the earliest possible moment to get a new high school building. I feel that all other problems in connection with the school are of entirely minor importance in comparison with this action."
Respectfully submitted,
DANA C. WELLS, Principal.

ANNUAL REPORT SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The work of the Attendance Officer has greatly increased during the last ten years, his work among the public being one of great importance. His duties require a great amount of judgment when dealing with parents when the children are neglected, making it necessary for him to provide care until assistance is procured from the state agent. It is often nec- essary for him to obtain shoes and clothing for children in order that they may attend school.
Theatres and public places of amusement must be visited to see if there are any children present who should attend school.
Another item is visitation of factories and all places where help is em- ployed, to see if they are provided with the proper certificates and are not working more hours than they should, according to age; also the kind of work, whether or not it is legal. This alone requires a full knowledge of the labor laws.
Each year a complete census of all children between the ages of five and sixteen is taken. It requires three or four weeks calling from house td house. Then it has to be tabulated according to age, sex, residence, place of birth of both child and parent, and school they attend.
The attendance officer is practically a teacher, for he has to instruct and educate the parent as to what is of the best interest for their children and themselves when attending school.
In comparing our work I will say that we are obliged to work longer hours, and number of days, when the public schools are not in session.
One other line of work we look after, and that is the receiving, assem- bling, and delivering of supplies, so altogether we are kept busy all the time.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Superintendent, School Committee, teachers, and all other persons who have in any way assisted me in my work during the year.
Respectfully submitted
EDWARD H. PORTER
Attendance Officer.
