The school has suffered much from frequent changes of teachers. During the year more than one-third of the teach- ers have resigned to accept more lucrative positions. In some cases where courses extend through more than one year, the loss to the pupils has been very great. When the city has secured scholarly, tactful, sympathetic men and women of high moral ideas, who are skillful in handling pupils and in giving instruction, some effort should be made to retain their services, because their going inflicts a great loss upon the school and indirectly upon the community. This applies especially to the high school which deals with youth at the critical age when great physical changes are taking place and when ambitions and passions are arising that may make or mar the future welfare of the city.
Several works of art have been presented to the school during the year by its friends. Through the courtesy of the Quincy Daily Ledger the school received a beautiful repro- duction of the statue of Venus Genetrix. Clark G. Boynton, Horace T. Jenkins and Avard C. Sproul of the class of 1905 published the annual number of the Golden Rod and raised sufficient money to purchase two excellent carbon reproduc- tions of Sir Galahad and Saint Barbara framed in oak. These have been placed in the study hall. The class of 1905, fol- lowing the custom of its predecessors, appropriated a gen- erous sum of money to be used in the purchase of works of art to decorate one of the rooms in the addition.
The school again received the income of the Rock Is- land Fund. It was used for the purchase of reference books. The library in the addition will make it possible to bring to- gether all the books which have been purchased with the proceeds of this fund and place them where they can be used to better advantage.
It is needless to say that teachers and pupils are antici- pating with great pleasure the completion of the addition which provides all teachers with well-equipped rooms, all pupils with equal opportunities for advancement, and en- larged accommodations to meet the growing demands made upon the school.

Report of Truant Officer
To Mr. Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent of Schools.
I herewith submit my eighth annual report as Truant Officer.
The past year has been a busy one in this department, the very large increase in cases investigated and truancies determined being shown by the table annexed.
The city is growing fast and a decided change is taking place in our population. This brings into our midst a class of people with large families desirous, it would seem in many instances, to test at once the stringency of our school laws Non-attendance is due, in most part, to the sheer neglect of the parents, and truancy to the influence of the young street loafer and the cigarette: the latter has become a greater danger than the saloon, and the people should demand that the law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to minors should be rigidly enforced.
The laws regulating the employment of minors have been carefully watched. There seems to be a great desire on the part of some parents to put their children to work at an early age, and it requires the greatest vigilance to hold these parents down to the lawful age of their children. I have kept a watchful eye on the manufacturing plants of the city and have ever found the employer willing to comply with the law.
No cases of truancy have been called to the attention of the court until every effort has been made by both Principal and Truant Officer to correct the same. I feel it my duty to again call attention to the apparent neglect of the enforce- ment of the curfew law, and would recommend that the same be put under the immediate charge of the Truant Officer.
I feel that the work and scope of this department of our public schools is fully appreciated by the Superintendent and Principals, and I desire at this time to express my apprecia- tion of the many courtesies extended the past year.
The following tables show in detail my work for the year.
