I. I believe that from the broadest point of view, it is not best for children, generally speaking, to be subjected to the confinement, the artificial stimulus, and the exposure of one sort and another that is incidental to attendance upon public schools, even in the kindergarten grade, at a younger age than five years.
2. I believe, also, that the present program for grade I is too severe for children of the average age of those whom we now admit to that work, and the arrangement suggested above would afford the needed modification.
3. If the plan that I have suggested should be put into
103
SCHOOL REPORT.
effect, it would be possible, owing to the greater maturity of the pupils, for all who enter grade I to secure practically as much of the kindergarten work as 42% now get and at an expense little, if any, greater than is called for under the present arrangement.
4. It will be readily admitted, I think, by any one who is familiar with public school work that it is impossible for one teacher to handle thirty or forty pupils in a first grade as they ought to be handled to secure anything like the results that are possible for children taught under proper conditions. In my judgment, the assignment of one teach- er to a first grade of that size results in a waste of at least one-half of the pupil's time in the school. Pupils from five to six years of age are incapable of using their time advan- tageously in school work without constant supervision. However carefully a teacher may arrange "busy work" for those children who are awaiting their period for recitation work with the teacher, children, in the main, secure from such work little more than amusement if left to themselves. Therefore, if educational results are the primary considera- tion in the organization of the schools, wise economy would seem to dictate that two teachers be assigned to every first grade for all or part of the time at least. This result would be secured if the plan suggested for the com. bination of kindergarten and first grade work should be adopted in our schools.
Regarding the feasibility of this plan of work, it may be said that an experiment in this line has been tried in the first grade at the Winthrop School during a portion of the past year with a sufficient degree of success, notwithstand- ing certain abnormal conditions, to warrant the belief that the plan is entirely practicable. In support of my opinion in this matter I submit the opinion of the head teacher of
104
SCHOOL REPORT.
the room in which the plan has been tried, a teacher who has had both kindergarten and primary training and who is in full sympathy with the spirit of the kindergarten move- ment.
The following letters in this connection are self-explana- tory.
MELROSE, MASS., March II, 190I.
Dear Miss Davidson :
Will you kindly express your opinion in reply to the following questions at your convenience, and submit the same to me ?
Yours respectfully,
F. H. NICKERSON.
I. Do you think that the experiment of combining kindergarten with first grade work which has been tried in your room during the present year is a practicable plan to be adopted for the first grades throughout the city ?
II. Do you think that such a plan, if carefully developed and carried out, would benefit the pupils who enter our first grades more than the present plan of work for that grade ?
III. Do you consider such a plan better for the school interests of the city than to have 50% of the children who enter the first grade receive training for a year in a distinct kindergarten school and the remaining 50% enter without any such training ?
MELROSE, MASS., March 12, 190I.
F. H. NICKERSON, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :- Replying to your questions sent me under date of March II, in the order in which they were put, I would say: (I) I do. (2) Yes. (3) Yes. Respectfully, GENEVA B. DAVIDSON.
For the reasons that I have briefly stated I would suggest that the committee investigate the merit of the above men- tioned plan at an early date.
MUSIC, DRAWING AND PHYSICAL TRAINING.
For information regarding the work of the year in these

lines, I would refer the Committee to the reports of the special directors of these branches.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
MR. F. H. NICKERSON, Superintendent of Schools :
The work in music in the schools for the past year has steadily im- proved along all lines. The teachers have come to realize, I think, their need of more musical knowledge and better preparation for the work if the best results are to be secured. To meet the need in this respect a series of monthly meetings for all the grade teachers for gen- eral musical study and vocal work was started late in the fall, but these meetings had to be dropped a little later as the Extension Course Lectures occupied the High School Hall on our meeting days. Their value, I think, was obvious to all, and they will doubtless be gladly resumed when opportunity offers.
When teachers have but one hour a week to devote to music, they must surely know how to use this time to the very best advantage if results are to be obtained. While I am a firm believer in grade ineet- ings, and have held them as often as occasion seemed to justify, I believe the teacher obtains the greatest help from observation of the work of the supervisor in the school-room, if such observation be close and intelligent. No cut and dried rules, expounded at a grade meet- ing, can possibly apply in all grades wliere tone may be the weakest point in one grade, time in another, discipline in a third, etc. From such careful observation and study, I have seen some of our teachers become as proficient in their own grade work as almost any super- visor. I would not give the impression that there are no defects or weaknesses in our work, but I think all such are obvious to teacher and supervisor and are being overcome as rapidly as is possible.
The high school work for the past year has been a source of great pleasure and satisfaction to me. The coming concert of the School Chorus and Glee Club will make that apparent to all, I believe. I may be pardoned for saying, however, that, although musically I con- sider the making of music optional in the school a success, I still fail to see any reason why any scholar, able to take an intelligent though feeble part in the music, should be excused. The music may not need such a pupil, but he needs the music if it be of any value at all. Music is universal-it is for the many-not for the few, and having
106
SCHOOL REPORT.
met so many graduates of our schools who have expressed their great regret at being excused or allowed to shirk their musical work, I have come to believe a little compulsion justifiable. In spite of an easier and probably more satisfactory year in music, I should not be averse to returning to our old method.
Respectfully submitted,
GRANT DRAKE.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
MR. F. H. NICKERSON, Superintendent of Schools :
I am pleased to report that considerable progress has been made in the line of drawing during the past year. A spirit of interest and en- thusiasm prevails among the teachers today that is very encouraging. Some of the teachers are giving extra study to the subject outside of the school work. This of course means better class work, for such study renders teachers better prepared to make criticisms that assist pupils to closer observation and more accurate expression. True ex- pression must follow according to the idea of the individual. Teach- ing may quicken observation, but expression should be largely a free act on the part of the pupil. This may be developed in our nature study, model and object work (decorative arrangement), constructive design, decorative design, and working drawings, from tlie lowest grade through the high school. Acting with this idea in mind, I find there is much more to be gained by obtaining skill in one phase of study before leaving it than by skipping from one subject to another as is the custom at present in many places.
It is sometimes suggested that we are doing too much with the brush and too little with the pencil, and I am inclined to think that we are not doing as much as we ought with the pencil. In the nature study a certain part should be done in pencil, using the brush either with ink or color for the decorative arrangement and design. For pic- torial and model work, the pencil is the best medium, unless for color scheme, then the brush is necessary.
I feel, also, that too many colors are being used, and for the coming year I would advocate that three colors with black and white be used and that better water-color paper and more color pans be secured. Each grade should have a full set of pans, a set of medium drawing pencils for free hand drawing, and good manila paper, white or gray,
107
SCHOOL REPORT.
for practise work. In the high school more casts and objects are needed. At present the supply is so limited that it is difficult to get much variety of work. The boys of this school who are taking mechanical drawing show much talent in their work. This line of work is especially valuable to those who intend to go to the Instio tute of Technology. Two of the classes are rather large to work with as it is almost impossible to give individual criticism which is s- necessary for getting good results in the work. In one of the classes both mechanical and free-hand drawing are taught at the same time. This ought not to be as it is impossible to get satisfactory work with either division, but the classes could not be arranged differently with- out interference with other studies. Although drawing was made elective this year in the high school, a large number of pupils chose it for one of their studies, and I am satisfied that it is wise to continue it as an elective study.
In closing this report I wish to thank the teachers for their co- operation in the work, and the Superintendent and Committee for the courtesies they have extended to me.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIS S. CARTER.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.
MR. F. H. NICKERSON, Superintendent of Schools :
The physical culture work in the high school for the fourth year pupils is the same as that of the previous year :- free-standing Swedish exercises, marching and running. In this work special attention is given to the correction of the standing position and general posture, and to the development of correct respiration.
In the advanced classes the work was varied last year by introduc- ing fencing twice a week, and this year the girls have provided them- selves with Indian Clubs, so that now the lessons consist of advanced Swedish movements the first twenty minutes, and club swinging during the remainder of the period.
Two or three pieces of apparatus would be of great value, both as to results that can be obtained from such work, and as a help in maintaining the interest of those who have already taken the work two years and a half. This apparatus could be so set up that it would not deface the room in any way.
I08
SCHOOL REPORT.
In the lower grades the plan of work has been more satisfactorily carried out than during the previous year, the teachers knowing better how to handle the system, and the pupils being familiar with all of the elementary positions from the start.
A supervisor's work cannot be a success without the heartiest co-operation of superintendent, principals, and teachers; and, in clos- ing, I wish to express my appreciation of the support which you have given me, and of the good spirit and interest shown by my co-workers in the grammar schools.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY V. PERHAM.
CONCLUSION.
It has not been my purpose in the foregoing report to exhaust the list of doings in the school department during the year, nor to enumerate all the steps that have been taken toward greater efficiency in the schools. I have simply presented such considerations as may indicate the general policy and spirit that have controlled in the work of the year and, also, whether or not reasonable progress has been made in the development of a better school system in our city ; and I believe that a careful and intelligent study of what has been written and tabulated will give a fair under- standing of these things.
In the school report of Melrose for the year 1878, the Committee in advocating the appointment of a Superin- tendent of Schools made the following statement: "We trust the time will come when the town will be able to hire a school superintendent and one who will be 'con- servatively radical' in his changes in the school work."
Believing that the above statement which defines the characteristic wanted in a Superintendent expresses the feeling of the present committee and also of the citizens at large, I have held myself ready to receive and to advocate
109
SCHOOL REPORT.
any change that seemed to hold forth fair promise of better- ment to the schools, while I have declined to be carried away by any spirit of unrest or experiment so far as to advocate policies the wisdom of which is largely in doubt.
No one connected with the school department could have felt more keenly than myself the loss that the department sustained in the death of Capt. John C. Maker near the close of the school year in June. His position as chairman of the school board brought us into close working contact and gave me an excellent opportunity to appreciate the earnest- ness and self sacrifice that characterized him in the dis- charge of his official duties. His long experience in con- nection with the committee and his devotion to the interests of the schools made him an unusually valuable official for the city, and his loss will long be felt by his fellow-workers. I deem it fortunate that it was possible to secure for his successor, Mr. George H. Hill, a man of large and success- ful business experience.
With a high appreciation of the favorable conditions as to committee, teachers, pupils and community under which my work is being performed, this report is respectfully sub- mitted. .
