SCHOOL REPORT
secure for the pupil himself wages to reimburse in part, his family for the time and expense involved in his training.
"Vocational education, judged by ultimate standards, should not differ from other types in its general relation to public control and support. For the present, however, standards of vocational education are so little defined and the traditions of the academic aspects of liberal education are so firmly established that it is believed to be indespensable that the two types of schools should be set apart from each other, that vocational education may be left free to respond to the conditions necessary to its development.
"At the present time there is every reason to believe that an attempt to carry on a programme of vocational training in conjunction with a programme of liberal studies will result in the demoralization of the vocational side of the work." "
So far as our own schools are concerned, it does not seem wise at the present time to attempt any vocational training for the following reasons: first, there seems no demand in our community for training in special industrial lines; second, present financial conditions do not warrant the extra burden of taxation; third, the present status of vocational schools makes it advisable to watch experiments in other communities before we develop a system of our own.
There is, however, a certain training in hand work which, while not vocational, tends to develop manual skill along practical lines, and thus furnishes a basis for later vocational education. Such instruction is now given in most cities. During the past year, in addition to the regular work in sewing and manual training, we have given some time in various grades to a variety of hand work.
This has been done without any extra expense to the city for instruction, and very little for material. The work accomplished at the Washington School is described briefly in the following report made by Miss Crane, the Principal.
"With funds obtained from a sale, work in hand craft be- gan in the Washington School in the fall of 1909, and has continued to the present time.
In outlining the course, the plan was that every article
42
CITY OF MELROSE
made should serve some useful purpose. The work has been carried on with no expense to the city, the teachers having fitted themselves by outside lessons in some of the crafts in order to teach them. Some women from the Melrose Woman's Club rendered valuable aid in getting the work established, by giving much time in instructing the children.
Not only have pupils manifested eagerness in favor of the work, but they have generally been diligent and pains- taking in performing tasks in hand work.
The work of the grades is as follows:
Grade I. Knitted reins, woven holders, small rugs for doll's house.
Grade II. Woven Indian blanket, wash cloths, braiding raffia.
Grade III. Bayberry candles, woven hammocks.
Grade IV. Woven book bags.
Grade V. Braided rugs, sewed raffia baskets.
Grades VI, VII, VIII. In these grades pupils may choose between weaving, chair-seating and basket-making. The weaving is done on hand looms furnished by pupil, or on large foot-power looms."
In other schools, weaving on hand looms and work in raffia has been taught in the lower grades, while in the inter- mediate and grammar grades instruction has varied according to the special aptitudes of the teachers. In some, basketry is taught; in others, chair seating, whittling, or knitting. Teachers have been interested to such an extent that many, on their own initiative, have had special instruction, at their own expense, to prepare themselves to take up some special line of hand work. While it is not proposed to develop this department so that it will be any great expense to the city, or interfere with the traditional work of the schools, we believe that it is decidedly practical and valuable for all children, whatever their later vocation.

SCHOOL REPORT
Medical Inspection.
It is the purpose of the school physicians, under the direction of the Board of Health, to extend the scope of their work in the schools.
"This work has been confined heretofore to examinations for the detection of contagious diseases. It may be per- missable in this connection again to warn parents that the chief danger is not from possible infection of a school-room, school-books or other things, but rather from a mild case of disease which is not recognized, until perhaps a number of secondary cases has occurred. Hence the warning to parents: Do not neglect the mild case.
We do not fully realize how vitally a pupil's capacity to do good work in school depends upon the physical condition. The school committee has recognized this and has asked that the school physicians co-operate with the teachers in a thorough physical examination of the pupils, to determine any depart- ure from vigorous health.
If any abnormalities of eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth or skin are found, or if there is any general disease, the attention of parents will be called to this condition. The school phy- sician will not treat cases except to give a printed slip con- taining directions for treatment of lice when found. The transmissable skin diseases will be given free treatment at the office of the Board of Health if the pupils apply there. The school committee and the Board of Health desire the hearty co-operation of parents in this effort to safeguard our children."
Changes in the School Committee.
There has been but one change in the membership of the Committee during the past year. Mr. George E. Cornwall, who has served faithfully and efficiently for four years, the last two as chairman of the Finance Committee, retired, and the vacancy was filled by the election of Mr. Wallace R. Lovett, a graduate of the Melrose High School, and a former member of the Board of Aldermen.

CITY OF MELROSE
In Conclusion.
I wish to express my gratitude to principals and teachers, . to, the Board of Aldermen, to the community, and to your Committee for consideration and loyal support given me in a year of reorganization that has borne somewhat heavily on all interested in or connected with the Melrose schools.
Respectfully submitted, John C. Anthony, Superintendent of Schools.
Report of the High School Principal.
„K
Mr. John C. Anthony,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :- In accordance with recent custom, I herewith hand you the report of the High School for the past year.
The year 1910 has been a very satisfactory and successful one, considered from an educational standpoint. It has marked the completion of the additions to the building and the entrance of the ninth grade into that close relationship with the High School, which is bound to result in a better training and broader education at the completion of their course.
During this same year, the largest class in the history of the school, numbering 108, was graduated. Of this num- ber forty-five have entered higher institutions' of learning, which include the following colleges: Harvard, Radcliffe, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts, Boston Uni- versity, Brown University, Wesleyan University, Dartmouth, Mount Holyoke, Simmons, and the State Agricultural College. That a high standard of scholarship was maintained by this class, is shown by the fact that three of their number were awarded scholarships at .M. I. T. and Harvard. Of the four . ..: scholarships offered by the Harvard Alumni Club of Boston, two were won by. Melrose boys ..
The reports from the different colleges also indicate that
45
SCHOOL REPORT
all Melrose students are doing well, while some are taking high rank in their work.
The total enrollment for the year 1909-1910 was 578, while that for the year 1910-1911 is thus far 602. This shows a steady growth, but the present indications are that the in- crease next year will not be as large.
There have been several changes in the corps of teachers, but since these came at the close of the school year, the loss educationally was not as apparent as during the preceding year. The additional teachers granted this year has enabled the management to arrange the work in a way much more satisfactory to both teachers and pupils, and will result in a marked increase in the efficiency of the school.
The enthusiasm which was so manifest in the work of both teachers and pupils at the beginning of this school year and the return of that school spirit which is so necessary to the welfare of every school, would seem to indicate that this will be a very successful and profitable year for every one con- cerned.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation of the loyalty of both teachers and pupils, and to extend to the School Committee and to you, hearty thanks for your kindly sympathy and help during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
William C. Whiting, -
Principal.
