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, 1901.
A marked growth towards an ideal school spirit has taken place. This is partly due to an increased endeavor of the pu- pils to maintain a high standard of scholarship and to the un- selfish devotion of the teachers to their work. Firm, judicious, sympathetic control has resulted in uniform courtesy and good- will on the part of the pupils towards one another and towards their teachers. The recognition of the rights of individuals and a persistent purpose to respect these rights have reduced the number of deficiencies ; meanwhile, a deeper, more earnest desire for self-improvement has produced a better quality of work. Every effort made to improve the work of the school has received the hearty co-operation of teachers and pupils.
Prompt and regular attendance must be required, if a school is to accomplish its best work. Absences soon cause a pupil to lose interest and to become a hindrance to his class, as well as a source of weakness in the school. Therefore, nothing but sickness or some urgent cause can ever justify a tardiness, dismissal or absence. The attendance of most of the pupils, es- pecially the boys, has been excellent and worthy of commenda- tion. Nevertheless, the absences, for the most part among those who take the business courses and who can least afford the loss of a day, are too many. To guard against absences
46
without sufficient cause and without the consent of the parents or guardians, a printed notice has been prepared, which is mailed to the parent on the day of absence, to be signed and returned within two days.
The long-period, alternating program continues to give sat- isfaction to teachers, parents and pupils, and to secure excel- lent results. It has enabled the school not only to do efficient work under unusually difficult conditions, but also to classify and regrade the pupils according to ability and attainments, at any time when deemed advisable during the year. In this way, the bright, quick, industrious pupils, with large capacities for work, have been able to advance at a rate in keeping with their powers, and the slow or lazy, nervous or physically weak have not been forced beyond their strength. It is to · be regretted that the over-crowded buildings, the lack of recitation rooms and the large divisions prevent the introduction of the addi- tional phases of individual work for which the program pro- vides. The longer study periods have helped to form more earnest, thoughtful, self-reliant habits of study; but they have not removed the necessity for pupils to study at home.
The Program of Subjects in which all courses, except the first and second year English, are elective, has given satisfac- tion during three years of trial. The amount of work accom- plished under an elective system should always be greater than under a fixed program, because the same reason or purpose which influences the choice of a study, should also increase the pupil's interest in that study. This freedom of choice has not resulted in the election of subjects which require the least ef- fort. The choice of courses, always influenced by the teachers and parents, is determined by individual taste and talent and by the honest desire of each pupil to make the most of his time and opportunities. The greater quantity and improved quality of work which has been done must be credited partly to the arrangement of courses.
The school is making a great effort to overcome the tend- ency of pupils to use loose, careless language. The teaching of English has two great objects in view ; the clear, concise, cor-
47
rect oral or written expression of thought and the appreciation of the best literature. English has been made a separate de- partment and teachers who prefer this subject and have made special preparation for teaching it have been placed in charge. During the year, these teachers have held frequent conferences discussing the problem, as it presents itself in our school, and the most effective methods of obtaining best results. Clearly defined courses for the attainment of facility in the use of Eng- lish and for an acquaintance with the works of the best authors, have been outlined. The work in literature has been divided into class study, required readings and suggested readings. In connection with each of these divisions, lists of books have been prepared. These books have been chosen to give the pupils a richer and more critical appreciation of plot, style and characterization. Several sets of English classics, as well as text-books in composition and rhetoric, are needed for the pu- pils of the first and the second years.
The courses in history have been thoroughly reorganized. English history and elementary civil government are studied during the first year. The second year is devoted to the gen- eral history of Europe. Greece and Rome are the subjects of the third year. The fourth year completes the progresssive course by making an intensive study of the United States. The text- books used in the various courses are : A Student's History of England, Montgomery ; A General History of Europe, Thatcher and Schwill; A History of Greece, Oman ; A History of Rome, Myers ; and A Student's History of the United States, Channing. The addition of sets of six each of the standard books of refer- ence for each course in history would still further improve the work of this department.
The science department has been greatly improved during the year. The addition of many pieces of apparatus to com- plete sets used in the physical laboratory, the purchase of in- struments and specimens for the classes in botany and biology, the introduction of Remsen's A Briefer Course in Chemistry, as a text-book, and the purchase of sets of reference books have strengthened each of these courses. More recitation rooms
48
should be provided at once, so that the efficiency of this depart- ment may not be impaired by the use of the laboratories for other classes. There is also great need of a laboratory for the work in botany, physiology, and physiography.
The greatest improvement of the year has taken place in the business department. The introduction of the complete system of Modern Illustrative Book-keeping has changed the work from a theoretical to a practical basis. Under this sys- tem, the pupil first learns the simple theory of book-keeping. Then, he enters the flour, grain, and produce business as a book-keeper. In this position, he receives bills of merchandise and other papers just as they come to a business house and he performs the transactions which take place in any office. As. soon as he has mastered this retail business, he is introduced to the details of the office of a wholesale dealer in teas, coffees, and spices. Next, he becomes a partner and assumes full charge of the office. After this he is a partner in a commission house, and later, in a wholesale dry goods company. When he has completed these progressive steps, in a satisfactory manner, he starts a retail grocery store and opens a set of books in single entry. As his business increases, he changes his system of book-keeping to that of double entry. Finally, he becomes the manager of the office of a manufacturing corporation, where he learns all the forms and methods of stock companies. The whole system is based upon the methods employed by several prominent firms and corporations, and the vouchers, forms, books and methods are those found in actual business. The work would be further improved, if desks, large enough to hold the work of the pupil, could be furnished for the book-keeping rooms. I also recommend that text-books in commercial geog- raphy and industrial history be introduced for use in this de- partment.
Education, in a broad sense, is the development of the powers of expression. The man who can express most clearly his thoughts and ideals is the most successful. Many a man, with visions of great possibilities for the advancement of civili- zation, fails, simply because he lacks the power of fully express-
49
ing what he thinks. For this reason, pupils should receive the broadest training possible in every form of expression. At present, education has to do almost entirely with oral and writ- ten language, while the hand which will play so important a. part in gaining a livelihood is neglected. No educational sys- tem can afford to omit any subject that trains the creative facul- ties, that furnishes an opportunity for the application of knowl- edge to practical affairs and that better fits young people to meet the demands and conditions of life. If manual training, a means of education not entirely dependent upon books, were added to the school program, many a pupil who now passes through the school without making a creditable record, would be aroused to vigorous and effective effort. Will it not be pos- sible, now that an addition to the building is under considera- tion, to take some steps toward the introduction of manual training ?
The number of pupils who elect drawing has become so large that a teacher's full time is required in the High School. This subject, properly taught, has sufficient value in itself to warrant its receiving the same amount of time and attention as is giyen to the other courses. At present, many pupils who are anxious to take the subject and who have the ability to make a real success in it, do not elect it because they feel that the teacher, who handles the drawing of the whole city, can give them too little time. That an appreciation and love of the beautiful may be awakened in the pupils, that their artistic tal- ents may be developed and that they may come to realize that they, also, have the power to create things beautiful, I recom- mend that a teacher of drawing be assigned to the High School alone.
From an educational point of view, the present seems an auspicious time for the introduction of physical culture. The attitude of the school towards the subject is excellent, and the pupils feel the need of regular exercise and careful, systematic training. Every pupil, except for physical disability or tem- porary illness, should receive daily exercises to develop strength, endurance, and presence of mind, to improve the carriage, to
50
promote health, to give better control of the muscles and to en- . : able him to enjoy fully both life and action .. The pupils have made the most of their opportunities to improve their bodies and minds through athletics, but this has not removed the need of careful, systematic training in a gymnasium. Should not this subject, also, receive careful consideration, while the addi- tion to the building is being planned ?
If the efficiency of the Quincy High School is to be main- tained and if its graduates are to continue to take an active part in the management of the affairs of the city and in the building up of its industries, then, it must receive each year additions of new and better apparatus, more works of reference and enlarged accommodations. The need of an addition to the present build- ing is more urgent now than a year ago, owing to the increased attendance. During the past term, the school has enrolled five hundred and fifty-one pupils, thus crowding both the old and the new buildings. The coming year will still further increase the attendance. To give young men and women an education which will equip them for self-support and right living is a purpose well worth the cost of execution. Must the work, the health and the prosperity of the school be endangered by the failure to provide ample accommodations for the institution which plays so great a part in preparing good citizens for the future control and management of the city ?
This year as the last the school has received the benefit of the Rock Island Fund. The money has been expended for reference books.
In closing, I wish to thank the members of the Committee, the Superintendent and my assistants for their hearty support and cooperation which have made possible the continued suc- cess of the school, and to extend to parents and friends a cordial invitation to visit the school at any time.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. HARPER.

Report of Truant Officer.
To Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent.
I herewith submit my fourth annual report as Truant Officer. The past year has been a busy one, and as my report shows there has been an increase of truancy, chiefly on the part of boys twelve or thirteen years of age. I believe this is largely due to the influence of boys from sixteen to eighteen years of age, who have no regular employment or definite aim, unless it be to parade the streets at night in the spirit and with the ideals of hoodlums. The smaller boys readily catch the spirit and soon lose their interest in school, their ambition and self-respect. The laws applying to such boys and such conduct should be rigidly enforced.
We still find parents who persist in keeping their children out of school and severe measures have been necessary in some cases, in order to get the children back into school.
I have given my attention to several cases of neglect of children and I desire to thank the charitable people of the City for their assistance in the same. The following table of statis- tics will show the work of the year.
