The work in the high school for the past few years has been of a most satisfactory and pleasant nature. Some of the work done by the school chorus last year would be creditable to any choral society, and the chorus this year is certainly as good.

SCHOOL REPORT.
The work in the high school is distinctly one of musical culture, and the music should be of the best. No high school reader I have ever seen, contains a sufficient variety of music to supply a four years' course, and supplementary music should be liberally provided if we wish to obtain the best results. Scholars should have the opportunity of studying the music of the best composers, oratorios and the like, for the culture and inspiration which comes from an acquaintance with the same cannot be overestimated.
I most earnestly hope that a sum of money can be avail- able each year, for the purchase of such supplementary music.
To cultivate the best musical taste is our aim, and this can only be done by acquaintance with the best music.
In concluding, I wish to thank you for many helpful suggestions, and for your hearty support and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Supervisor of Drawing.
Mr. F. H. Nickerson, Superintendent of Schools.
DEAR SIR : The following is a report on drawing for the past year. About a year ago this time I asked the commit- tee to supply some color boxes and colors for drawing in our schools. They very kindly furnished us with about 700 of these boxes, which proved to be a great help to us in our work. The pupils enjoy this color work very much, as it is taken in connection with nature study, design and some ob- ject work. The free hand and mechanical drawing is still carried on, only with more advanced objects.
The drawing in the high school the past year has not been as I should like to have it, for the reason that I did not have materials with which to work. This year I have materials and casts enough to start with, but no place to hang them. The drawing room in the high school should be fitted as in other high schools, with lockers and drawers for the scholars to keep their materials Every pupil should be provided with a drawing board to press his draw- ing to keep it in shape. If this room could be furnished in some such way, I would be very much pleased.
I think all who attended the exhibition held in the town hall last June, must have a good idea of the work which is
334

accomplished by the scholars during the year. I try as nearly as possible to carry out the plan of work as laid out by Mr. Henry Bailey of the state board of education. It is almost impossible to make such a plan, so that every city or town will be able to follow it in detail, but a good course is suggestive and helpful in many ways.
In closing this report, I wish to thank the committee and teachers for the assistance they have given me in this work.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIS S. CARTER.

Report of the Supervisor of Penmanship.
Mr. F. H. Nickerson, Superintendent of Schools.
DEAR SIR : In beginning this report it will certainly be in order to say a word about the popularity of vertical writ- ing as a study in the schools of our country. Today it is in almost universal use. Those who formerly said it would be short lived and would soon drop from our curricula are now growing silent on the subject or have ceased to speak unless to approve it.
To the best of my knowledge every normal school ex- cepting one uses it, all the cities but one and all the towns excepting perhaps half a dozen, in this state, have it in their schools. To the same extent it is used in all the New Eng- land states. I am told all the normal schools of New York and every city of the state, excepting three, use it. Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, and Omaha have it, and so I might continue. It cer- tainly is gratifying to know Melrose is in line with our best educational centers in this matter.
This popularity of which I speak comes from the fact that vertical writing is entirely practical. Individual hand- writing grows from it as much as from the slant penman- ship. More than one teacher has said to me she can tell the writing of every child in her class without seeing his name upon the paper. More than this the ease of acquisi
336
SCHOOL REPORT.
tion and legibility of the vertical are conceded by all who have had experience with it.
I am convinced, also, that this style of writing can be made rapid and thoroughly practical as a business chirogra- phy.
In the mind and argument of many the chief objection to it has been that it is slow. I have proved this otherwise. When taught only for legibility the slant writing is slow and under that condition the vertical is no faster. In one of the towns where I teach I have worked to see what speed I could develop. In the eighth grade I took speci- mens written at the rate of 110 letters per minute, and in the ninth grade others written as high as 150 letters per minute. These were well done and not scribbled. I feel confident this work would appeal favorably to any business man, and certainly prove to him vertical writing can be as rapidly executed as any other script.
Much has been said about the "backhand," oftentimes noticeable where the vertical is taught. As to this matter, I have one point to raise and one question to ask.
In the slant system there is one accepted standard slant. Does everyone write exactly that slant or is the degree of slant simply approximated ? In this system we have a standard, but if every one does not write exactly vertical is it chargeable against the system or the person who writes it ? In either case we are not excused from teaching and attain- ing the standard if possible, and I know in this particular many are successful.
One thing I have introduced into our low grades of school this fall is single line paper. We commenced the school year with the spaced paper and formed the hand- writing upon it. My fear is, if we continue its use the pu- pils will depend too much upon a line for the height of
337
SCHOOL REPORT.
every letter. When these lines are taken from them they will be unable to write a uniform hand. The single line paper is the practical ruling of the business world. To my mind it is proper for the children to get accustomed to use it early in their school life. I have been very well pleased so far with the results attained in its use and feel that the wisdom of adopting it is fully demonstrated.
I wish, also, to say the use of ink in our second grades has proved successful. The teachers tell me the children are careful in using it, and do not get blots upon their paper, or soil their hands or clothing. My observations confirm these statements.
One thing in our instruction which I wish to emphasize is that we must build into the mind of the pupil the most perfect form of the letter we are able to construct. This education should enable him to describe that form intelli- gently, definitely and correctly. In this respect writing and drawing are parallel studies. First, the child must see, then make ; but he never can make until he does see. I go further, and say he must see and describe this letter from the ideal in his mind and not from any representation of it in his copy book. The skillful teacher by her questions will draw from the pupil a word picture of his concept ; she will minimize the incorrect and magnify the correct part of the description of each scholar, thus shaping more and more perfectly the form being taught until she leaves the class beholding the finished ideal,-not only in their minds, but also one correctly written upon the board. To be able to do this for the children, the quality of mind education in vertical writing which the teachers must pos- sess can well be understood.
Another thing for which we are to work is a better quality of penmanship in the written exercises of the school. It is
338
SCHOOL. REPORT.
very easy for the pupils to think that good writing is only meant for the writing lesson and the page of the copy book. This is wholly wrong. It is for us to show them that the les- son in penmanship is for the purpose of their learning what they are to apply in their written school work. We must insist that this quality of writing be given us and accept no other. I have learned by experience that, as a rule, we get about the quality of work in the schoolroom which we demand and are willing to accept. It is for the teacher to set the standard and the scholar to meet it.
In my opinion, the study of penmanship should not go beyond the eighth grade. This will help furnish time for the study of Latin, higher mathematics and science work, which is now being introduced into the ninth grade. The present status of writing in Melrose will not allow this to be done; but with some careful planning and teaching, together with adopting one or two things in our course of writing which we do not now have, we shall certainly be able to drop this study in the grade above mentioned.
Allow me to say I appreciate the extra time just given me for my work, as it will enable me to give help when needed and to generally keep in touch with the work.
Respectfully submitted,
A. W. CLARK, Teacher of Penmanship.

On devious pathways bound, We pause where part the ways, New need of cheer to borrow And bid a fair good-morrow Crown all our yesterdays. Perchance the trailing garment Of Fame may follow thee, And Fortune smiling meet thee With lavish hand to greet thee. Oh, barren her blessing's store If life bring thee not yet more And love the chiefest be.
.
Or if thy days be toil-filled, Lowly thy action's round, Ah, then in compensation, May richer consummation Of love by thy heart be found ! Love by thy heart be found.
