Merrill of Quincy, and Miss Bertha V. Jameson and Miss Eva A. Dickey both of Wollaston.
Two "Mothers' Meetings" were held in connection with each kindergarten when the mothers were invited to meet the teachers and ladies of the managing committees. They re- sponded in good numbers to the invitations-at one forty-four being present-and seemed thoroughly to appreciate the talks on the kindergarten and its methods given by the teachers, the music vocal and instrumental contributed by various kind friends, and the simple refreshments and social half hour which followed.
While there may be more of a field for kindergarten work in one part of Quincy than in another, each one of the school districts would be the better for a free Summer Kindergarten as a stimulus to public interest in educational problems, and as giving little children a common sense foundation for work in the regular schools.
A fourth kindergarten and manual training class for boys between the ages of ten and fifteen are spoken of as possibili- ties for next summer, if the funds of the Home Science Associa- tion prove sufficient to meet the expense.

High School.
The High School is greatly overcrowded and its work 18 being done under very unfavorable conditions. The demand for largely increased accommodations is already a pressing one and in the immediate future will become imperative.
For a detailed statement of the work and urgent needs of the School the reader is referred to the accompanying report of the Head Master.

In conclusion I wish to express my deep appreciation of the kind reception given me by the people of Quincy, of the cordial good will and cheerful co-operation of the teachers and of the courteous consideration and generous support of this Board. Hoping that I may merit the continuation of this re- spect and confidence and that all may work unitedly for the educational welfare of the children, of our city, I respectfully submit this report.
FRANK EDSON PARLIN, Superintendent of Schools.
December 22, 1900.
Quincy Digh School.
Mr. F. E. Parlin, Superintendent of Schools.
DEAR SIR :- In accordance with your request, it gives me pleasure to submit the following report of the Quincy High School for the year ending December 31, 1900.
The year has been one of earnest effort towards the attain- ment of application, concentration, self-reliance, high moral character and true scholarship. To maintain a school of high grade in an over-crowded building with a corps of teachers the smallest in the state in proportion to the number of pupils, has been an exceedingly difficult problem. The earnest spirit of study and the more regular attendance on the part of the stu- dents, the experienced and progressive work of the teachers, to- gether with the vigorous co-operation of teachers and pupils
has made it a year of progress. Cultivation of the mind and development of practical power have determined the methods of teaching ; formation of character by bringing into action the higher motives has shaped the discipline. The continued, rapid growth of the school shows that the citizens recognize the value of education and appreciate the efforts being made to maintain a school of high grade.
The alternating program, introduced a little more than a year ago, has helped to solve the problems presented by the over-crowded building, the too large divisions, the lack of rooms for recitation, and the small number of teachers. These conditions have prevented the complete introduction of the in- dividual teaching for which the scheme provides. The pro- gram, although it is still an experiment, has given satisfaction to teachers, parents and pupils. The fatigue due to sitting for
41
long periods and the strain from continued concentration dur- ing the study and recitation periods, have not appeared to be greater than under the former system. The pupils have not seemed listless towards the end of the periods. The recitation in a subject, occurring on alternate days instead of daily, has produced more complete assimilation and more accurate knowl- edge ; has made it possible to conduct broad, elective courses of study, because the daily program, swinging on eight periods; is so much more flexible than on the former basis of six ; has se- cured better preparation on the part of the pupils, because the long periods furnish time for concentration of attention ; has given opportunity for more effective teaching, since, in a long recitation period, there is time for testing, teaching, and appli- cation of new matter; and, finally, has permitted the regrad- ing of pupils according to ability and the adaptation of meth- ods of teaching to individual needs. It has also made it possi- ble for each pupil to carry four, full-time subjects, in the place of three, which is a distinct gain in favor of the new program, since the quantity and quality of work in each subject have not been less than under former conditions.
The Program of Subjects, in which all courses are elective, excepting first and second year English, has worked success- fully during the two years of trial. Ease and lines of least re- sistance have rarely determined the choice of subjects ; while, in a large majority of cases, the choice has been made by par- ents and pupils consulting with the teachers. This greater freedom in the election of courses has resulted in greater earn- estness of purpose and in closer application to study.
"If it pays to educate, it pays to do it well, and if it pays to do it well, favorable conditions are economical." There are two conditions which seriously hamper and interfere with the work of the school, an over-crowded building and a lack of sufficient teaching force.
The capacity of a school building can not and should not be estimated by the number of pupils that can be crowded in- to it ; but by the number of teachers that can be provided with «convenient, healthful class rooms, accommodating a reasonable
42
number of pupils per teacher. Our building, according to the standard of modern secondary education, should not accommo- date more than two hundred and seventy-five pupils, and yet four hundred and forty-six are crowded into it ; while seventy- six other pupils, unable to be accommodated, had to be trans- ferred to unsanitary rooms in the old building. Under the present conditions, it is necessary to use for recitation purposes, poorly lighted and poorly ventilated corridors, drawing and lecture rooms, and laboratories. It is also necessary to over- crowd some divisions so that others will be small enough to be accommodated in places too small for classes of the regular size. The school is deprived of a biological laboratory, of a library room, and of an assembly hall. It is necessary to use the present hall for study purposes, thus leaving no place to as- semble even a whole class for general or public exercises. Un- less the interests of the school are to be sacrificed, unless the disadvantages under which teachers and pupils are obliged to work are to be increased constantly by the growth of the school, and unless successful work is to be rendered less assured, in- creased accommodations must be provided at once.
To show the rapid growth of the school during the past three years, the following table has been prepared. It gives the number of different pupils enrolled in the classes of the school in December of 1898, 1899 and 1900, and presents a careful estimate of the size of the school and of the different classes for the year of 1901. This estimate is based upon facts. secured from the records of the past three years and does not make allowances for the promised, rapid growth at Quincy Point, due to the ship building industry. For this reason it is safe to say that the estimate will be too small rather than too large.

* This is two hundred pupils more than both the old and new build- ings should accommodate under modern conditions.
43
That the influence and the efficiency of the school may not be impaired, an addition should be built large enough to accom- modate the present school and to provide for future growth. It should provide additional class rooms, recitation rooms, labora- tories, lecture room, manual training and domestic science rooms, gymnasium, reading room and lunch room. The whole should furnish adequate accommodations for a thousand stu- dents.
The ratio of teachers to pupils in the high schools of Mas- sachusetts is one teacher to each twenty-six pupils on the basis. of enrollment. This means that the Quincy High School with an enrollment of five hundred and twenty-two pupils should have at least twenty teachers, where it has but fourteen-a ratio of one teacher to thirty-eight pupils, twelve more to each teacher than is customary throughout the state. It is an acknowledged fact that the smaller the divisions, within reasonable limits, the greater the percentage of successful pupils and promotions. According to the opinion of our best authorities a division should not exceed twenty. The efficiency of the teaching in our school is decreased, because it is necessary many times to make divisions of more than thirty pupils. It also deprives the teachers of periods for consultation with their pupils, and de- mands that they should spend more than a reasonable amount. of time out of school hours in correction and preparation of work. This is a loss to the pupils, since limited opportunities for self-improvement mean limited breadth in teaching. The following table shows the total enrollment, the number of teach- ers, the ratio of pupils to teachers existing in several schools of the state, and the number of teachers that Quincy should em- ploy on a similar basis. Schools in cities like Brookline are omitted, because of greater resources at their disposal. This data represents the conditions in these schools, December 1, 1900.

If the Quincy High School is to maintain its position among the good schools of the state, some decisive steps ought to be taken at once to increase the number of teachers to one nearer the recognized standard.
Modern education requires the development of three forms of power, if there is to be clear, complete expression of thought : -- that of the body, that of the intellect, and that of the heart. The High School, while training the last two, gives the first no attention other than lessons in drawing. This omission is re- sponsible for the failure of many bright, promising pupils. Manual training quickens the intellectual life ; forms the sense of order and beauty ; awakens creative activity; secures dili- gence, accuracy and economy ; places empirical experience side by side with theoretical knowledge ; and aids the development of practical power. Manual training emphasizes accuracy and honesty, because errors can not be covered up ; and begets self-reliance, since each must perform his allotted task. Business, industrial success, and national prosperity are demanding
45
young men and women equipped with qualities of integrity, in- dustry, judgment, and purpose. Educated workmen are de- manded who have been trained to grasp situations, to think clearly, and then to act with energy aud precision. The state officials, recognizing the value of manual training, enacted a law requiring that every city of 20,000 inhabitants and over should maintain a manual training department in connection with its high school system. There is no other city in the state where local conditions so forcibly demand manual training and the power of manual expression. Is it not time that Quincy should follow the lead of other cities and introduce some form of manual training ?
The school has still another need which must be supplied before it can reach its highest efficiency,-a gymnasium, where systematic physical exercise can be encouraged, and secured. A good gymnasium, with a carefully developed course of exer- cises adapted to the individual, would prevent contracted chests and round shoulders, would correct awkward carriages, and would result in better bodies ; thus securing better school work and decreased tendency to break down under the strain of school duties. The aim of the work would not be to train athletes, but to make men and women able at the end of their school days to do their chosen life work with ease and pleasure. Foot-ball, basket-ball, polo and track athletics have helped to improve the physical condition of the pupils ; but athletics reach only a small percentage of the scholars and can in no way take the place or do the work of systematic physical training.
The income of the Rock Island Fund adds each year a few volumes to the reference library of the school, but does not provide enough books to meet the demands of the various de- partments under modern methods of instruction. The school library with its reference books, with its complete sets of the works of standard writers, and with its charts and maps is the laboratory for the departments of history and English, where pupils acquire a working knowledge of books, and gain the taste and appreciation of the best in history and literature. Would it not be well to appropriate annually a moderate sum
46
of money for reference books, until the school shall have se- cured an adequate equipment ?
The school has received three valuable gifts during the year :- a framed picture, "The Harvest Moon", presented by Miss Alice B. Hultman, of 1900; a piece of statuary, "The Winged Victory", given by the class of '99 ; and a collection of mineralogical specimens presented by Mr. George W. Morton.
In closing, I wish to thank all who by their hearty support and ready co-operation have made possible the continued suc- cess of the school, and extend to parents and friends of the school a cordial invitation to visit it at any time.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. HARPER,
Head Master.
Report of Truant Officer.
To Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent.
I herewith submit my third annual report as Truant Of- ficer.
While there has been during the last year a less number of truants than usual, the work of investigating and reporting on non-attendance has very largely increased, and I fear the strong hand of the law will have to be employed in many cases the ensuing year if parents do not comply more closely with its requirements. Often when inquiries are made by the officers, parents shield their children and thus encourage them in wrong doing.
Much trouble has been caused by parents allowing chil- dren twelve or thirteen years of age to leave school and go to work. In many cases it has been only by threats and prosecu- tion, that I have been able to secure the return of these chil- dren to school, and it has been necessary to employ equal force with employers of children under age.
If parents would co-operate with the Truant Officer in his investigations and efforts in behalf of their children they would be doing the best possible service to their children. The visit of the Truant Officer should not be resented by parents, al- though the necessity for his call is to be regretted, because by co-operation with him they may be able to break up a bad habit of their child and restore him to right conduct.
The cases of habitual truancy brought to my attention dur- ing the year can easily be traced to home influence, compan- ions and the free run of the street at night. The curfew ord- dinance is well, but its strict enforcement in many cases would be better.
48
The knowledge that every case of non-attendance, without an excuse satisfactory to the principal, would receive my im- mediate attention has been the means of restraining many a restless boy or girl.
During my three years of service as Truant Officer, from the expressions of the Superintendent and of principals as well as of those citizens interested in charitable work, I feel sure my work has been appreciated.
The following table of statistics which I have the honor to submit for your consideration will show the work I have per- formed.
