Report of School Com= mittee.
To the Citizens of Quincy :
The year which is drawing to a close has been a satis -. factory one, the relations of the members of the Board with one another as well as with the Superintendent of Schools being marked by the most perfect harmony and cordial feeling.
The report of the School Board can of necessity be only a general utterance upon the state of the schools of our city. As to matters of statistical information we must refer our people to the accompanying report of the Superintendent.
We consider ourselves fortunate in commanding the ser- vices of Mr. Lull in the office mentioned and we believe that the really high position which our school system occupies in the state and in the country is largely due to his energy and wisdom. We recommend therefore to our fellow citizens the perusal of his report, wherein they will find an instructive study of educational subjects while at the same time a serutiny of the financial exhibit will show with what serupulous care the interests of the tax payers have been guarded.
The necessity of two new school houses, one in the Rail district and the other in the region known as Norfolk Downs, was made known by us to the city council at an early date and although we have some cause for disappointment in finding that the debates held upon the subject within that body have been
6
without practical result, we look forward with confidence to the deliberations of the coming year.
The almost unexampled growth of the High School during the last six years has not escaped your observation. From an average membership of a little over ninety, the school has reached a total enrollment of 340, a number far exceeding in size the total combined attendance at the Woodward Seminary, the Adams Academy and the Thayer Academy. These figures prove that the High School is offering to the people something which the people desire to have while it affords to the Teachers, the Superintendent and the School Board the most precious encouragement in their efforts for enlarging the usefulness and elevating the standard of the institution. We can nevertheless easily foresee a time when this rapid growth will present to the School Board a problem which it will find somewhat difficult of solution, but that time has not yet come. There is no cause for present anxiety.
At the suggestion of Mr. Tupper, the efficient Head-Master of the school, we venture to recommend an appropriation for the purchase of a large number of books of reference. Works of this sort are sorely needed.

Report of the Superin=
tendent.
To the School Committee of Quincy :-
GENTLEMEN :- For the twenty-first time it is the duty of the Superintendent of the Quincy schools to submit his annual report to the Board. This fourth yearly record of the present incumbent of the office is the forty-sixth of the printed reports.
The past year has been a period of growth-at least in numbers-but it must be regretfully added, not in accommoda- tions. It will be of little profit to review the efforts made to secure additional buildings, except for the purpose of informing the parents in the crowded districts that both the Board and the Superintendent anticipated their needs by a whole year and urged that proper provision be made in season.

$3,000 § Cost $3,532.40 t Cost
In these eight grammar and primary schools are seventy- four rooms suitable for constant use-that is, provided good ventilation is not demanded-but, during the autumn eighty rooms have been forced into service. Even then the seventh and eighth grades of the Lincoln and of the John Hancock have not been separated, and all the sixth grade of the Lincoln is housed in the Adams, far from its own district. Further- more, of the seventy-four rooms twenty-two have more than their regular number.
Land booms, the opening of new districts for homes, the arrival of new families in the "City of Presidents," the long record of births in the city report, and the census returns are matters of congratulation ; but it should be remembered, too, that every new arrival means at least one more chair and desk, one more book, and, in fine, one more complete outfit-to say nothing of an increased teaching force. So long as children continue to be born, so long will the Board be obliged to press on the Council its demands for more room. The masterly activity of a HIerod once failed to check the growth of popula-
9
tion, and certainly fear of taxes will not be more successful today.
The Lincoln district will demand the attention of the Board as soon as the needs of " The Rail" and " The Downs- Park " districts are satisfied. The Lincoln was opened in Sep- tember of 1892. The next spring forty-three pupils were re- moved because of its crowded condition. In the spring of 1894 the whole sixth grade was sent to the unfinished attic of the John Hancock, and a new primary room was opened. In the late autumn of the same year, because of lack of heating power at the John Hancock, the same grade was transferred to the Adams. This made necessary the re-occupation of the old attic room in that building. As the Council refused to appropriate money for the transportation of the Lincoln children, the de- portation from their own district is considered a great hardship by the parents of these children.
At the close of school December 20 there were 443 pupils in the Lincoln school, and nearly all of these live south of a line drawn east and west through the building. If fifty were crowded into each room, there would still be a surplus of more than fifty in the district.

*This number fluctuates during the year. From April to July the demand is the greatest. All the assistants are Quincy girls and all, save one, are graduates of the High School.
The business course of the High School proved so popular that in September a new teacher was a necessity. In the Willard the fifth grade numbered in September one hundred thirty and a new room was opened. In the same building in April a similar overcrowding made necessary a new low- grade room.

TRUANCY.
During the year the principals unanimously petitioned the Board that one truant officer should be appointed for the whole city. It should be his duty to make a regular round of the schools, keep a careful record of all truants, and take whatever official action may be necessary. The officer should also take the school census in May, for which the sum of $125 is now paid.
The present officers act only on a special request to inves- tigate a special case. No one up and down the streets of the city exerts any direct or indirect influence on the children at large. No one makes a regular inspection of stores, factories, quarries and all other places of employment to see that the labor laws are being obeyed. There are in the city several boys, not yet fourteen years of age, who are headed straight for the state prison. Their parents have absolutely no control over them. The police know them, and they also know that they
m

will be the future'criminals in our courts. One active, deter- mined officer can do much in the way of prevention.
SALARIES.
Quincy is now, as she has been in the past, an educational missionary. She has furnished teacher after teacher to Boston and eleven of its suburban cities and towns-to say nothing of cities more remote. No matter how much she may regret the loss of her teachers, for they are among the best, it is a fact that a half-year of a first-class teacher is better than a whole year of a weak one. Furthermore, the knowledge that faithful and suc- cessful work means promotion and increased salary within the metropolitan district, is an excellent incentive. Nevertheless, Quincy would, without doubt, gladly do less foreign and more home missionary work, if her valuation warranted and her large school population permitted it.
Five thousand parents are rearing the school children of Quincy. Some are bringing them up "by hand," some " by tongue," some by will power, some by multiplying tasks or dividing privileges, some by adding to the hours of sleep or subtracting from the daily amount of food, some by the force of a great and magnetic personality, and some are doing nothing save allowing their children to grow up.
With all this diversity the teacher must work, but deprived of nearly all the aids and incentives that are common to the average family. It is a great wonder and a daily miracle that so much can be done in the school in spite of the home, the street and the playground. A teacher deals with an average of at least fifty different children during the 350 sessions of a school year, and yet out of these 17,500 chances that each teacher has to make serious mistakes, the complaints to the Superintendent do not average one each to the whole corps. This speaks well for the sound common sense of the teaching force and should give it the confidence and esteem of the com -- munity and a pecuniary reward commensurate with the value- and importance of its work.
16
Twenty-one teachers have resigned during the year. Thirteen were called to positions paying higher salaries. See appendix.
1855-1895.
In connection with this subject of resignations and retire- ment from service a most pleasing contrast should be spread upon your records.
In April, 1895, Julia E. Underwood completed her fortieth year of service in the same grade of the same school-the second grade of the Coddington. Her first teaching antedates the superintendeney of Col. F. W. Parker by just twenty years and yet Miss Underwood is one of your young teachers. Such an anniversary is so unusual that the Board, the teachers and some of the citizens thought it worthy of recognition.
At the close of the spring term at a meeting of the Teach- ers' Association the valuable work of Miss Underwood was re- viewed by Emery L. Crane, Chairman of the Board, by Hon. Charles H. Porter, Sub-committee of the Coddington, by Edwin W. Marsh, a member of the Board in April, '55, by Supt. George I. Aldrich of Newton, whose service in Quincy extended from April '83 to Dec. 31, '91, by Col. Parker, whose letter covered the period from April, '75, to April, '80, and by Dr. John A. Gordon, formerly Sub-committee of the Coddington, who replied for Miss Underwood.
The Board also recognized the event officially by the fol- lowing resolutions :
" Whereas, Miss Julia E. Underwood has been a teacher in the Coddington School for forty years, therefore the School Committee, being desirous of expressing their approbation and good will after so many years of devoted work, spread upon their records the following resolution :
" Resolved, That the School Committee tender to Miss Underwood their best wishes and esteem, and congratulate her upon so long and honorable a service in which she has had the good will of the parents and the support of the School Board."
17
" Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolution be sent to Miss Underwood."
Your Superintendent, in the name of many friends, pre- sented Miss Underwood with forty dollars in gold, that she might have some visible and tangible evidence of the great re- gard in which she is held by those who were present and by the two thousand pupils who have received inspiration from her and who are a living proof that
No life
Can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife,
And all life not be purer and stronger thereby."
These exercises were brought to a close by the singing of this hymn dedicated to Miss Underwood by Frederic Allison Tupper.

Of all the callings in the world The teachers' is the best, And one who's taught for forty years Earns honor from the rest.
CHORUS.
And honor she shall have, my friends, In measure full to-night ; All honor to her forty years' Devotion to the right !
II.
Call not those great who rise to fame By tyrant's cruel art ; I call her greatest who best holds The key to childhood's heart.
18
CHORUS.
And she has always held that key, So sing her praise to-night! All honor to her forty years' Devotion to the right !
III.
Talk not to me of flower or gem, Or stars that flash above-
There is no star, no gem, no flower, So rich as childhood's love.
CHORUS.
And she has always had it, friends, Ours, too, she has to-night ; All honor to her forty years' Devotion to the right !
HIGH SCHOOL.
A most successful year of work has been completed in the- High School. Although Quincy is not able to point to-day with pride to the record of the new High in the higher institutions of learning, yet that honor is near at hand; for all the courses are now well begun and a firm foundation is being built.
The business course meets the approval of the parents and is almost too well patronized. Ten pupils were graduated last June and there are at present 31 in the second year and 79 in the first. The great difficulty is to impress on the mind of the Pupil that this course is not an easy one, and on the mind of the parent that the child who can do nothing else is not a suit- able candidate for the business course. The teachers are trying to disabuse parent and pupil of these mistakes. Quincy cannot afford to send out to her business men any inferior products of her generosity. In fact, the requirements as regards accuracy and methodical work must be as rigidly insisted on here as in the classical course.

In the future it will be necessary for those who are intend- ing to enter the Normal Schools of the state to make special preparation, as the requirements for admission are increased and. are far more exacting than ever before. Pupils should now plan their electives and reviews for the Normal examinations with as great care as do those who are preparing for college.
By the census of 1890 Quincy escaped the conditions of the law passed June 14, 1894. Chapter 471 is: " After the first day of September, 1895, every city of twenty thousand inhabi- tants shall maintain as part of its High School system the teaching of manual training. The course to be pursued in said instruction shall be subject to the approval of the State Board of Education."
The Secretary of this board defines the schools as contain -. ing the following elements :
1. A course of study from three to four years in length, with a marked trend towards that of the greater length.
2. Freehand and mechanical drawing throughout the course, one hour daily.
3. Shop exercises, two hours daily.
4. Academic work, three hours daily, two or more of them devoted to recitations.
5. The use of power.
6. Woodworking, including the study of tools, materials, and the elementary processes of carpentry, joinery, wood turn- ing, pattern making, and, if advisable, carving.
7. Ironworking, including forging, chipping and filing, and the elementary processes of machine work.
8. A session six hours long or longer, with a suitable al- lowance for recess and lunch.
9. A correlation of the academic work, so far as feasible, with that of the drawing room and the shops.
The Secretary then adds: " It is not possible, of course, to attain this standard at once; but a standard like the foregoing, modified by local conditions and improved as experience sug- gests, should be kept steadily in view if a city would do as well.
20
by its pupils as other cities with fully established manual train- ing schools have done."
As the census of 1895 gives Quincy 20,712 inhabitants, some provision must be made to comply with the requirements of the new law. The drawing and academic work can be easily arranged. The next step should be the introduction of the Secretary's sixth element. Benches and tools with proper instruction can be provided at a moderate expense for those of the entering class who care to elect such a course as outlined.
