Report of School Committee.
To the Citizens of Quincy:
Your Committee has no radical changes to announce, either in the policy or management of the schools.
One new building, the Cranch, was opened for occupancy last January and now accommodates seven grades. The building has proved itself very satisfactory and has relieved somewhat the overcrowding in the John Hancock and Codding- ton districts. One master has charge of both the Adams and the Cranch schools and has in each building a master's assistant.
The children of one grade of the Lincoln district have been housed in the John Hancock building. This necessitates a longer walk for some of the children but obviates the necessity of keeping those children in a poorly ventilated and lighted basement for half of each school session.
But the crying need of the schools is still for more room. The antiquated buildings of the Coddington are poorly heated and unventilated and even now over-crowded. The increase in the school population of the Quincy Point district, while not yet as large as anticipated, will steadily continue, and the number of pupils is already too large for a building long unfit for occupancy.
It is hoped that the proposed new building will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
In the Atlantic district the number of school children enrolled is 466, while the Quincy school, even with almost criminal crowding can accommodate only 360. This renders
6
necessary the hiring of two extra rooms and extra teachers, and makes the supervision by the master unnecessarily difficult. The additional expense would go far toward paying the interest on the cost of a new building. The near future should see a modern schoolhouse centrally located in the Atlantic district.
The High School has long ago outgrown its present quarters. The school now numbers 548 pupils and the High School building, by using the corridors for recitation rooms, contains but does not accommodate 400 pupils. On this account the old High School building, long ago condemned, has again been brought into use for the Business Courses, resulting in great loss of energy on the part of teachers and scholars. The increased attendance at the Woodward Institute this year has relieved, to a slight extent, the pressure at the High School, but even with a full attendance at the Woodward Institute the present High School building could not accommodate all the pupils who rightfully should attend. Therefore the High School building must soon be enlarged to contain more class-rooms, a manual training room and a gymnasium else the school will be crippled in its work and must soon fall behind the neighboring schools of equal importance.
The sanitary conditions of some of the school buildings are not all that could be desired and these buildings should be con- nected with the sewer in every case when it is possible.
In the last year several of our best teachers have resigned to accept positions in other towns at increased salaries. Although these vacancies have been filled very acceptably yet the value of a teacher increases with each year of service and the loss of tried teachers of several years experience in Quincy is a distinct loss to the teaching force of the City. This must inevitably con- tinue until Quincy can afford to pay salaries equal to those of neighboring towns.
"The Quincy Word List", prepared by our Superintendent, has been in use in the schools during the year and has proved a most efficient help in the teaching of spelling. Some changes in the manner of teaching reading have also produced good results.
7
The Committee has expended carefully and conscientiously during the past year the sum of $108,196.63. For the details of this expenditure, reference is made to the report of the Super- intendent.
We fully realize that this is a large amount and is a goodly proportion of the total expenditures of the City, yet we feel that no moneys have been expended in a better cause or will bring better returns for the future well-being and reputation of the City.
The School Committee has lost one of its members through the removal to Boston of Mr. Charles F. Merrick whose resigna- tion was accepted at the regular meeting held September 24. Mr. Merrick was Principal of the Quincy school. from Novem- ber 1888 to September 1894, when he was transferred to the Principalship of the Willard school, which position he held until his resignation in June 1896 to accept a position in Boston. He was a member of the City Council during the year 1898 and and of the School Committee since January, 1899. He always had a deep interest in the welfare of the City and of the schools, and his opinions were strong and forcible and always com- manded respect.
At a joint meeting of the City Council and the School Committee held in the Council chamber on the evening of October 7, Mr. James H. Churchill of Atlantic was chosen by acclamation to fill the vacancy, and that choice was ratified at the City election in December.
The above report was presented by a special committee consisting of Messrs. Hunting, Smith and Porter and was adopted as the annual report of the Board, Tuesday, Decem- ber thirty-first, 1901.
FRANK E. PARLIN, Secretary.

Report of the Superintendent.
To the School Committee of Quincy :
In accordance with custom and the rules of this Board I herewith submit my second annual report. It is the twenty- seventh in the series of annual reports by the Superintendent of public schools and the fifty-second of the printed reports of the Quincy School Board.
The Cranch School.
On Saturday, January fifth, 1901, the School Committee was notified by the Commissioner of Public Works that the new school building on Whitwell street was completed and passed over to the School Department. On Monday, January seventh, the school was opened with about two hundred pupils in attendance and with the following corps of teachers,-James M. Nowland, principal ; Mary Dinnie, master's assistant ; Minnie E. Welsh, fifth grade; Annie S. Keenan, fourth grade ; Grace E. Perry, third grade; Elizabeth II. Poland, second grade and Lucy J. Mitchell, first grade. The opening of this school afforded much needed relief to the John Hancock and Codding- · ton schools. In September a seventh room was opened and before the end of another year all grades will be represented in the school.
The building is brick with granite trimmings, thoroughly
10
modern in its arrangement and equipment, attractive, conven -- ient, well constructed, a credit to the City and a blessing to the - children of this district.
The building is located on land formerly owned by Hon. Richard Cranch for whom the school is named. Mr. Cranch was for many years one of the most prominent and highly re- spected citizens of Quincy, enjoying the reputation of being a gentlemen of the highest honor and integrity. He was born at Kingsbridge in Devonshire, England, November, 1726. Early in life he was apprenticed to a maker of wool cards, but being ambitious to start in business for himself, in 1746, at the age of twenty he purchased the remainder of his time, came to . Boston and began to make wool cards in a building on School street nearly opposite the present City Hall. For several years . subsequent to 1751 he was engaged in business with his brother- in-law, General Palmer, at Germantown. In 1781 he purchased thirty-two acres of land formerly known as "Stony Field," after- wards as the "Cranch farm," including the lot on which the : Cranch school now stands.
Mr. Cranch was a man of unusual intelligence and rare ' literary attainments. In a letter dated May 15, 1815, John Adams bore witness to his scholarly habits by saying that "Richard Cranch had studied divinity, and Jewish and Chris- . tian antiquities more than any clergyman now existing in New England." In 1780 Harvard University conferred upon him : the honorary degree of A. A. S. For several years, between 1778 and 1782, he was a representative to the General Court .. In 1792 he was the justice who issued the warrant calling the . first town meeting in Quincy, and to him belongs the honor of having been chosen to select a name for the new town for which he recommended the name of "Quincy."
Under a commission dated April 1, 1795 Mr. Cranch was: appointed the first postmaster in Quincy which position he held up to the time of his death. "He was also Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Massachusetts."
"Mr. Cranch married Mary, the eldest daughter of the Rev. William Smith of Weymouth in 1762. She was sister to Abi-
11
gail" who two years later married John Adams.
"Mr. Cranch died at his residence on School street, Octo- ber 16th, 1811," and his wife died the next day.
Reading.
During the year the subject of reading has received most attention because it is by far the most important subject in the whole curriculum and because the results secured were so un- satisfactory. A radical change was made in the method of the primary instruction, as well as in the character of the reading matter.
The distinction between learning to read and reading is often ignored by those who prescribe the method of teaching beginners. The sentence method which has been for some years in general use starts with the idea that the learner is to read from the first and that the mechanical difficulties of the art will be overcome gradually and almost unconsciously by the child. The early results while the children are under the guidance and inspiration of the teacher seem to establish this method as most effective, but later, when the pupils are thrown upon their own resources, the weakness of the method appears in their inability to make out new words and their dependence upon the teacher. It becomes very apparent that one cannot read with ease and certainty a selection involving new words, until he knows the phonic or sound values of the letters. But letters are arbitrary signs or symbols of sounds and often, in our language at least, a letter represents several different sounds, the particular sound in any case being largely determined by the influence of its associates.
If the child only knew the sound values of the individual letters and letter groups, he would have little difficulty with his primary reading, because nearly all the words involved are already in his oral vocabulary. It is not a question of the meaning of words but of the interpretation of sound symbols. Therefore, since the child can never read independently, until
12
"he has learned consciously or unconsciously to translate these "symbols, it seems to me best to teach him first the common- phonograms of the language, as a preparation for reading. While doing this he is learning to read, having done it, he can · read.
During the first three months a pupil may not appear to be accomplishing as much as one taught by the sentence method but before the close of the first year, and thereafter, there is no · doubt which pupil has had the better training for reading.
By the present phonetic method the mechanics of reading need receive little attention above the primary grades. The whole time can be given to reading. Ours is neither a copy- righted systeni nor an original one, except in the combination of its parts. It is the result of selections and rejections from several systems. We give it no name and are free to make such changes from time to time as experience may suggest. There is very little diacritical marking, and no particular set of books is required.
To argue the merits of the method is entirely unnecessary, as the results can be observed and by them the method must stand or fall. One thing will be conceded by all, that a careful phonetic drill improves the child's articulation and corrects many defects of speech, being especially helpful to children of foreign parentage.
During this preparatory period and occasionally in every grade the teacher should read to the pupils in her very best manner appropriate selections to give them examples of good expressive reading and of the treasures to be found in literature.
It is also well for the children in every grade to memorize short selections-gems of wit, wisdom or beauty, and to learn something of the writers, but the study of biography is not the study of literature. Again, it is a mistake to confine the read- ing of a grade to a single author. Children should not leave school with the idea that Longfellow and Whittier have written about everything worth reading.
But the school has not finished its work in this subject
13
when it has taught the pupil to read with ease and expression ... It should aim constantly to awaken a desire to read, to make- reading enjoyable and to fix the reading habit. To attain this end the school reading must be adapted to the mind of the -- child, must be interesting and considerably varied. The child whose reading is confined to a single book in each grade gener- ally dislikes reading, and the more times he reads the book through, the greater the monotony and the greater his dislike.
There are books that should be read again and again, and that the children enjoy re-reading, but there should be inter- vals between the readings. Not infrequently do children form a permanent dislike for a book by being required to read it through two or three times before taking up another. This is. especially true when the teacher makes an "exhaustive study" of it-attempts to squeeze the last idea out of the verbal husks- not alone in the elementary schools but in the study of English classics in the high school. Young readers have little liking for literary anatomy.
When one examines the reading matter of many schools, he understands why their pupils practically cease to read after leaving school. The reading lesson should be one of the most enjoyable of all the school exercises, and if it is the children will continue to find pleasure in it through life.
But there is a still more important end to be reached. To overcome the mechanical difficulties of reading and to fix the habit of reading are not enough. It may be seriously questioned whether it is well for a child to learn to read, if that knowledge is to bring him under the pernicious influence of bad books. The school must cultivate a taste for good literature-literature. that will yield pleasure, knowledge and inspiration ; that will give to the hand strength ; to the heart courage ; and to life itself value ; literature that refreshes the mind, awakens the imagina- tion, broadens the soul, deepens the sympathies, stimulates action and ennobles conduct. One's literary taste is largely determined by what it feeds upon-by what one reads. Hence the importance of having the school reading right in quality. 'A correct, discriminating literary taste is developed only by

reading. Hence the necessity for more reading during the formative years of school life. There should be for each grade several books of standard merit and well adapted to the age of the pupils. It must ever be remembered that the mind of the child differs greatly from the adult mind and that during his development mental changes are quite as marked as physical.
