In the last term of the last school year one of the former pupils returned to the school, having left it for a year and a half to go into business. It is believed this experience would be frequent, if it is understood that such pupils are welcome. Boys frequently go into active life prematurely, and regret their choice, but a feeling of pride restraint them from express- ing their change of mind. Yet the school is generally strength- ened by a return of mature purpose to the pursuit of education.
At the examination for admission, to Harvard College in July 1897, five pupils presented themselves for the final exam- ination, of which two passed with honor, and all with success ; and four pupils-all who applied-passed the preliminary papers.
At the admission examination of Adams Academy in July, eleven candidates from various schools in Quincy applied, and were all admitted ; but three of them never joined the school. In September three others were admitted, two from schools in the City and one a resident of New Jersey. Very shortly be- fore Mr. Tyler's death, he accepted another pupil recently at the Quincy High School. The fourth class is now the largest with one exception that the school has had for several years. The mas- ter and teachers continue to discharge their labors with moderate pay and limited appliances, in a building never well adapted for its purpose, and now greatly in need of renovation, inside and outside, and with other discouragements some of many years' standing, and some more recent ; but with undaunted
302
courage and hope, and a conviction that the work they do is worth doing, and that the city and community could ill dis- pense with the contribution made by Adams Academy to sound learning and good citizenship.

Woodward Institute.
In behalf of the Board of Directors of Woodward Institute I submit herewith the annual report of the principal of the school.
This report presents so clearly to the public the work of the Institute during the past year, its achievements and pur- poses, that any detailed report on the part of the Board of directors would be largely repetitious.
It is much desired that the public become acquainted with the work of the school not through hearsay but at first hands. In its gratuitous efforts to secure the highest efficiency of the Institute and to render it of the greatest service to the city, the Board of Directors should have the support and encouragement of all who are interested in the educational affairs of Quincy.
MORRIS HOWLAND TURK,
Secretary Board of Directors.
319
Report of Principal.
To the Board of Directors of Woodward Institute :
Gentlemen :- The year 1897 has been an eventful one in the history of Woodward Institute.
THE NEW BUILDING.
The opening of the new building on Founder's Day, March 12, gave us improved facilities for work to which may be attrib- uted largely the general improvement in our school.
The laboratories have given an impetus to the study of Nat- ural Science, while the convenient rooms for Art and Music have made possible improved work in those departments. The music-room needs a piano, which we hope our Board of Mana- gers ere long will feel able to furnish.
The gymnasium has been a source of the greatest improve- ment and pleasure to the girls. In addition to their'regular ex- ercises, fencing and club swinging, Miss Blackwell has taught them the games of volley-ball and basket-ball. Match games afford fine entertainment to the on-lookers, as well as healthful exercise to the participants.
The greatest benefit to the school comes from the possibil- ity of unification. The Principal has always found her person- al work discouraging and difficult of performance ; but the for- mer difficulties have been removed by the new study-hall which is commodious, well-lighted and well-ventilated.
320
The Students sit in this room during all study-hours, and here the Principal usually hears her classes.
The pupils are thus under the supervision of one person who directs all movements about the building.
DISCIPLINE.
As much of the Principal's time must be spent in the office and in general supervision, as well as in teaching classes, the girls are placed upon their honor both in study-hall and library, and, in fact, in all parts of the building. They are taught to be self- governing ; to train their judgment as to the best use of time and books and tongue for themselves and also for others. Mis- takes occur; wrong-doing is not unknown; but these failures in duty are made the basis of future victories over self, This course of action requires harder work and greater patience than immediate and direct punishment. It requires greater watch- fulness; in truth, a teacher needs the eye of a Cyclops as well as the eyes of an Argus. To see or to say too much is as fatal to good discipline as to see or to say too little. Our girls are always ready to respond to trustfulness on the part of their el- ders ; happier than when obtrusively watched, and proud from youngest to oldest of sharing in the daily progress of their school. In this way it becomes our school.
Profit-sharing is as excellent in its effects in the school- room as in other lines of business. The teacher's capital of age, learning, and experience, supplemented by the labor of youth- ful workers, each one a mental and moral wage-earner for the good of self and companions, produces a cooperative enterprise of surprising and satisfactory profits. But for complete success, a like cooperation is necessary between the Principal and teach- ers and also among the teachers themselves; all need the help- ful, gracious spirit that lays aside, at times, ambition for one's own department and one's individual success and satisfaction, to contribute to the greater good of the whole. Such has been the ideal of the school during these initial years, for both teach- ers and pupils ; and to the firm adherence to these principles,
321
nothwithstanding occasional failures, is due much of that intan- gible "something" which visitors seldom fail to note and speak of as the "atmosphere of the school." We hope that our school will continue to diffuse an air of comfort, diligence and well- founded happiness.
DEPARTMENT WORK.
The Woodward Faculty consists entirely of "special" teach- ers; the experiment is thoroughly satisfactory, inasmuch as so many of these "specials" are daily engaged in the school. Each Woodward teacher has her own department of work. Five of the teachers have a class in English Composition and Rhetoricals. Little outside of her special line is required of any teacher. This gives a maximum of responsibility to each for her department, and a minimum in the matter of general work. There are seven teachers present daily; the teacher of French is present on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; the teacher of Art on Mon- day ; the teacher of Physical Culture, on Tuesday and Thurs- day ; the teacher of Music, on Thursday and one hour on Wed- nesday. Miss Susan Adams Packard, a graduate in the class of 1896, has been acceptably serving as trainer in the Business Department.
CHANGES OF TEACHERS.
We regret the loss of teachers who have long been con- nected with the school, and whose excellent work has been of help in establishing Woodward Institute. We can heartily con- gratulate the Newton High School upon its new Latin teacher, Miss Wilder, and the Brooklyn, N. Y. High School upon secur- ing Miss Holmes as its German instructor. Much larger sala- ries than we can afford to give, at last drew from us these valued friends and teachers.
Miss Maude Rice a faithful assistant and the Principal's clerk since April, 1894, left us for a position in the Hyde Gram- mar School, Newton ; and Miss Charlotte Franklin, the compe- tent teacher of Natural Science from April, 1894, resigned to
322
prepare for another profession. Our new teachers have a rec- . ord for excellent scholarship and successful experience in teach- ing. Miss Mary II. Cowell, a graduate of Boston University, succeeds Miss Wilder as teacher of Latin and Greek. The de- partment of Natural Science is in charge of Miss Margaret E. Dodd, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and assistant for Prof. Sedgwick and also for Prof. Drown in the Department of Chemistry. Miss Mowry, the teacher of Ger- man, is a graduate of Wellesley College, and has had the advan- tage of a year's study in Germany.
Mr. J. D. Buckingham, the able instructor in Music, needs no introduction to Quincy people. The Woodward may be congratulated upon its good fortune in securing his services. His work speaks for itself. It is a pleasure to listen to the reg- ular lessons. Such purity of tone and intelligent expression of the written word and note as he gains from his pupils are rare in the list of school acquirements in music. The work in the other departments is still successful under the direction of the same teachers as in years past.
PUNCTUALITY.
Once again would I call the attention of Parents to the neces- ity of regular attendance, The Principal wishes every girl to be present at the opening exercises. Special notices and orders for the day, the Bible reading and ethical teachings, are intend- ed for the daily good of each pupil. The school is not sectarian, as its Founder's will determines; but its teaching and influence are intended to be "Christian," as that same will indicates by its choice of the Board of Directors. Hence the training of the mind by the daily studies is not enough. In fact, the Principal considers no time, "wasted" or "unimportant" that tends either directly or indirectly to the formation of character; whatever makes for true womanliness, which affords comfort and right- cous influence in the home, will live when the facts so labor- riously gained have been dead for many a year. Not that knowledge is belittled : know-well is good, but do-well is better.
323
COLLEGE PREPARATORY WORK.
Girls intending to enter college or other higher institutions of learning should give notice upon entering the school, as that is the time for a choice of foreign languages and the arrange- ment of the courses needed. It happens not infrequently that after pursuing an English course with one foreign language, and the omission of electives necessary for college requirements, a student suddenly decides to "take up" French or German, or something else, and "go away to school." The Woodward is expected to furnish the necessary preparation ; this means extra time for one or two pupils in several departments. This the Principal has felt obliged to refuse in several instances, as it can not be done with fairness to teacher, pupil, or school. The school curriculum offers ample opportunity for preparation for higher institutions during the five years' course, and if choice be wisely made at entrance all needful preparation is provided for and freely given. Some minor changes may be made the com- ing year for the greater convenience of college preparatory students.
In September, Miss Baxter of the class of 1896, entered Vassar College; reports of her examinations and work speak well for her satisfactory preparation at the Woodward. "
Although so young a school, we now have students prepar- ing for Radcliffe, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Wellesley, and the Boston Normal School.
CLASS OF 1897.
The second graduation exercises were held in our own com- modious hall, on June 29, the speaker being Rev. Thomas D. Anderson, D. D. of Providence, R. I. The class reception was given on the following evening. It was a pleasure to greet so many of our citizens upon these two occasions.
People often ask "What are the Woodward girls doing?" of the Class of 1897, consisting of six members, one is studying at the New England Conservatory of Music; another is in the
324
Bryant and Stratton Business College : a third is book-keeper for Walter M. Hatch and Company of Boston ; a fourth is sten- ographer for the Quincy Electric Lighting Co., one is at home, and the sixth passed successfully the Boston University entrance examinations, and is now a member of the Quincy Training Class for Teachers.
LIBRARY.
Although our library is small, the books are selected care- fully and with special reference to the needs of the different de- partments.
Our girls are learning to make good use of reference books, an accomplishment not quickly acquired by the many, but firm- ly insisted upon by the Faculty. The results prove the wisdom of the long-continued, patient, and persistent efforts on the part of the Teachers.
HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE.
The teaching of Household science to the graduating class has proved of interest and profit. We are still looking forward to the possibilities of extending this course. The re- view in Arithmetic has been enjoyed by both teacher and pupil. As time may allow, it is intended to give reviews in such sub- jects as will be most useful in daily living after school life is finished.
GIFTS TO THE SCHOOL.
In May, Mr. George Sherman presented the school with a thousand specimens for the natural history collection. They have been of great use in the class-room during the past year. and the donor deserves our gratitude. . We are indebted to Mr. Henry HI. Faxon for one hundred and twenty-five tickets to the first entertaiment in the "People's Course," and to Miss Eliza- beth C. Adams for many remembrances.
325
CELEBRATION OF SPECIAL DAYS.
Founder's Day, a play given by the German department in April, Decoration Day and Thanksgiving Day, besides the Grad- uation Exercises, have presented an opportunity to see a variety in the public work of the school.
VISITORS.
We gladly welcome all visitors to our daily class-room work ; that is our best recommendation to the favor and interest of our citizens. Again we say to the parents, "Come and see us ;" and to those who would like to know more of the school, "Come and see us:" and to those who know us from hearsay only, "Come and see for yourselves. .
OUR ALMIS.
It has been the policy of the school to furnish such an edu- cation to Quincy-born girls as to supplement rather than to sup- plant the work of the public and private schools so well estab- lished in our city ; primarily, to furnish a well-rounded educa- tion to our girls who do not wish or cannot afford to attend higher schools; secondarily, to prepare for the colleges open to women.
