Miss Newcomb's Golden Anniversary.
In April, 1857, Miss Emeline A. Newcomb began to teach in the Willard School of this city, and her service has con- tinued unbroken in that school up to the present time. Such a remarkable record certainly deserves recognition on the part of the teachers and citizens of Quincy.
On the evening of May 3, 1907, under the auspices of the Quincy Teachers' Association, a public reception was ten- dered Miss Newcomb in the hall of the new High School, it being the first occasion on which that hall was used.
From eight to nine o'clock Miss Newcomb, assisted by Superintendent and Mrs. Frank E. Parlin and Mr. Thomas B. Pollard, President of the Teachers' Association, received the teachers of the Willard School acting as ushers and young ladies of that district serving at the refreshment tables.
At nine o'clock Mr. Parlin read a letter from His Honor, Mayor James Thompson, expressing his regrets that, on ac- count of illness, he was unable to be present. Informal con- gratulatory addresses were then made by Hon. Charles H. Porter, first Mayor of Quincy, several years chairman of the School Committee and a life-long friend of Miss Newcomb; by Charles H. Merrick, once master of the Willard School, several years a member of the School Committee and now Master of the Thomas Gardner School of Boston; by Supt. George I. Aldrich of Brookline, formerly of Quincy ; by Supt. Herbert W. Lull of Newport, Rhode Island, former master of the Quincy High School and later Supt. of Schools; and by James F: Burke, who spoke not only as an ex-member of the School Committee, but as a former pupil of Miss New- comb.
29
At the conclusion of the addresses, Mr. Pollard pre- sented Miss Newcomb with a purse of two hundred and fifty dollars in gold from her numerous friends. Mr. William R. Kramer, Master of the Willard School, responded briefly for Miss Newcomb, expressing her deep appreciation of the honors and gifts bestowed upon her. The evening closed with an old-fashioned dance in which Miss Newcomb took a prominent part.
Evening Schools.
The usual number of evening schools were maintained during the year, opening on Monday evening, October 7, and closing on Tuesday, December 17, 1907. All were in session four evenings a week, except Thanksgiving week, when there were but two sessions.
The Adams School was in charge of Archer M. Nicker- son, Principal, assisted by Walter H. Bentley, Elizabeth S. Hiscock, Elizabeth A. Garrity, Josephine Kelley, Jennie F. Griffin, Mildred B. Hopler and Minnie E. Donovan. . There were 40 sessions; the total enrollment was 315, of whom 185 were men, and 30 women; the average attend- ance was 91.2, or 29 per cent., and the average number of teachers was 6.57. Two or three very stormy nights consid- erably reduced the average attendance in all of the evening schools. While a large number entered this school, apparent- ly without any serious intention of study, many others came determined to make the most of the opportunities offered them, were regular in attendance and did excellent work. This was especially true of those learning to read and write the English language.
The Willard School was in charge of Ausin W. Greene, Principal, assisted by John F. Roache, Frances C. Sullivan, Catherine C. McGovern, Mary C. Parker and Ellen G. Haley. There were 40 sessions ; the total enrolment was 129, of whom 123 were men and 6 women ; the average attendance was 35.5.
30
or 27.52 per cent., and the average number of teachers was 4. The difficulties and successes of this school were prac- tically the same as those of the Adams, although there seemed to be a larger disorderly element. The difficulty was not with the teachers nor with the subjects offered, but with those young men who entered for other purposes than for study. For such, the evening school is no place, and to retain them is to drive away those who wish to learn. A small number of industrious persons anxious to study is much better for all concerned than a large number of disorderly members who require a large amount of the teacher's time and strength. These schools are not reform schools and the teachers should neither be expected nor required to do police duty. If a per- son is unwilling to work and to observe reasonable rules of conduct, he had better not enter at all. The school can do little for him and his presence is a constant annoyance and dis- advantage. The interest of those who attended regularly was never better nor their progress more satisfactory in both schools. The non-English speaking members did unusually well. Several of the changes recommended last year were adopted with good results.
The Evening Drawing School occupied a large and con- venient room in the High School building. It opened in charge of Mr. Frederic B. Elton, but, as he left us very unex- pectedly and on very short notice, Mr. Laurence G. Sprague was engaged to complete the term. Mr. Sprague at once made some much needed changes in the course and added new in- terest to the class. His services were satisfactory in every respect. He understood the needs of the school and met them unusually well. The number of sessions was 40; the total enrolment 30, all men, and the average attendance 22, or 73.3 per cent. All except two took mechanical drawing. This school was almost entirely free from those who enter merely as an experiment. All came for a purpose and the very high percentage of attendance speaks well for their in- telligence as well as for Mr. Sprague's ability.

Quincy High School
Mr. Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent of Schools :
Herewith, I submit a report of the Quincy High School for the fall term of 1907.
I have been in Quincy too brief a time to make any ex- tended recommendations. The splendid loyalty of a fine corps of teachers and a cordial welcome by the student body have made my entrance into a strange school wholly pleasant.
Seven hundred and ninety-six pupils have registered. Some of these have now left because of illness, change of residence, or other real necessity, but some have gone who were able to remain. How to retain the greatest possible num- ber is a problem which demands a more satisfactory solution. The early introduction of Manual Training courses will help much by furnishing a field of interest sure to attract many not now drawn to the High School and retain both them and others a longer time. Many a boy who cares little or noth- ing for academic study will welcome an opportunity to train his mind through his hands. When the boy's interest is aroused the battle is half won. He will soon find the interest- ing work forcing upon him a need of knowledge in other branches, if he would become expert in that one. Such a per- sonal discovery immediately changes the whole complexion of studies he formerly disliked. The motor training will de- velop his mentality generally until his ability to perform other than manual tasks will be greatly increased.
All boys and girls, if possible, should secure a high school education or its equivalent. The demands made upon them
32
will necessarily be greater than those made upon their parents and the competition to be faced must be keener. Two things are forgotten when a boy is told that Mr. Jones, with very few school days, was more successful than Mr. Brown, a college graduate. If Mr. Smith, also a college or high school grad- uate, had been selected in place of Mr. Brown, the comparison would not have favored Mr. Jones. The competitors of Mr. Jones were less educated than those of his son will be. The father won out in spite of this early handicap rather than because of it. He has no right to assume that his boy can overcome an even greater disadvantage. Again, the average boy does not develop a preference for a definite trade, busi- ness, or profession until late in his teens. He does not dis- cover himself. Surely, it is important that those adolescent years be given to a general culture which may serve as a broad foundation for any life work when the boy does realize his own individuality. Another and still more important phase of the matter remains. Thousands of men who have made a splendid record in the business of life regret the lack of more cultural training in their early years. They have been tre- mendously busy until the day arrives when they can retire and enjoy their last years-but enjoy them how? They are unable to acquire new tastes and do not possess the necessary acquirements of early life. Life means more than gaining dol- lars. The most helpful and therefore the happiest life is the one most nearly approaching a symmetrical development. The purely material side of life demands a large part of a man's working years ; he has little time or energy for anything else. The education of youth, then, while attending carefully to the material side must also emphasize the cultural side of prepa- ration. In past years, the latter has been over emphasized. School authorities have failed in not furnishing the right kind of a school. School masters have paid too much attention to the few pupils who were preparing to enter higher institutions. They have been too prone to measure the efficiency of their schools by their success in meeting college requirements. To- day such a public high school is undemocratic, un-American.
33
More than eighty per cent. of its students never go beyond the high school. It must be their college. While, of course, the high school cannot compete with collegiate institutions, it can and should pay more attention to the eighty per cent. Such attention does not mean any neglect of the minority. A thorough college preparatory course ought to be and is fur- nished. The Quincy High School with the early introduc- tion of courses in Manual Training, Domestic Science, and Physical Training, is meeting its responsibility to the majority. The present curriculum includes a Commercial Course of great practical as well as educational value. With such an extended field of work, the school offers much that is invalu- able to every boy and girl.
It is hardly necessary for me to say I found the school well organized and pervaded with a spirit of cordial friend- ship between teacher and pupil, both of which conditions speak volumes for the personal influence of my predecessor. My aim has been primarily to become thoroughly acquainted with the school. The only definite changes made are a completer organization of departments and the introduction of a scholarship eligibility rule in athletics. No boy may rep- resent the school in a game with an outside team who has failed to secure a pass mark in four full studies the previ- ous week. The rule has affected both scholarship and athletics favorably. Athletics have a distinct value in school life and deserve cordial support, but the term is much broader in scope than its common use implies. Physical culture better expresses the thing that deserves a prominent place in school curricula. Football, baseball, and basketball, as conducted today, are but a small part of physical culture and that a secondary one. The whole scheme of school athletics has been radically wrong in several particulars. The emphasis has been placed upon two things closely related, the high development of a chosen few and the winning of games. What has resulted? The student body as a whole has received very little attention and those needing it most, none at all. Again, the importance of victory has been exalted beyond all reason. The students themselves
3-1
cannot be blamed for the conditions. The results are what would logically follow in a system which lacked proper direc- tion. I believe in teams, the best the school can produce, to represent her in the various forms of sport, teams that will fight hard in every honorable way to win, teams that will lose a hard battle in chivalrous manner. However, the physical culture must make its chief aim the physical strengthening of all the students, more especially the weak ones. When this is the object in view, a regular course in Physical Training be- comes not only desirable, but necessary, if one would secure greatest efficiency. It should be given an honored place in the curriculum and placed in charge of a trained instructor.
One other recommendation I wish to make and strongly urge. The High School has a daily program arranged on a double period alternating plan. Recitations in any subject occur every other day with very long periods, a little more than an hour. Necessarily, the lessons assigned are about twice as long as a daily recitation program demands and in- clude a variety of topics. The underclassmen, especially, can- not learn the long lessons to good advantage while the long periods needlessly fatigue them. Again, the system has no continuity. It necessitates a break between every two recita- tions in a given subject and a single day's absence makes the break nearly a week. The mature mind of a university student may work successfully with such a program, but in a school whose average age is just over fifteen years, short- er recitations and greater continuity of effort are vastly more conducive to effective work.
In closing I wish to urge the parents to visit the school more frequently. The co-operation of parents and teachers can accomplish much more than the separate effort of both.
Respectfully submitted.

Report of Truant Officer.
To Mr. Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my tenth annual report as truant of- ficer. The work of this office is increasing every year, due partly to the changing population of our city and partly to the laws making it necessary for truant .officers to visit stores and manufactories. The great difficulty in enforcing the attendance laws comes not so much from the children as from parents and guardians. Often habitual truancy is fostered by the home. For this reason, in many cases the past year, I have been obliged to take those parents into court before se- curing the desired results. Parents should realize that habit- ual absence of their children from school means the associa- tions of the street, the pool room, or of cheap places of amuse- ment. The number of boys on probation is increasing so fast and their influence is so detrimental to their associates that I feel some special school room should be provided for them while on probation. Our aim is not to punish the offender but to save him from his evil ways.
I desire to coinmend at this time the readiness with which the manufacturers have complied with all requests made of them and their evident desire to comply with the law. The many details of this office have received proper attention under the careful and considerate direction of the superintendent of schools. I desire to extend to the several principals of the schools and the court officers my sincere thanks for courtesies extended during the year.
The following table will show in detail my work the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. JOHNSON, Truant Officer.
