CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF GRAMMAR GRADES
MR. JAMES N. MUIR, Superintendent of Schools, Quincy, Mass. My dear Mr. Muir:
It gives me pleasure to submit the following report:
Since the "process of education is made up of units of learning" -each of which must be mastered-the general trends are towards such types of instruction. Traditional schools ignore the mastery of true units of learning and focus their attention upon the per- formance of assigned tasks. It has been well said, "The practice of keeping the mind fixed upon lesson performance instead of upon clearly defined units of learning leads logically and unalterably to the theory of appraisal and control of pupils' progress, the antithe- sis of mastery."
Keeping our place in the van of progressive education, the prin- ciples underlying instruction by units of work have been presented to the teachers and types of such work placed in their hands. They have been asked to fix as the goal of their year's work, such types of instruction. These are to be submitted to a central committee for constructive suggestions. The ultimate plan is to take such outstanding pieces of work-the past of our schools has had splen- did examples of creative teaching-and "pool" them for the benefit of the city. We anticipate, by use of the work done in our midst, broadening ideas for the experienced teachers and real help for the teachers new in the profession.
I wish to thank the girls and boys of the Massachusetts Fields and Montclair Schools for their excellent contributions to the Bridgewater Exhibit. The one, an individual project, wherein "the stage was set," portraying accurately the scene of "The Signing of the Oath of Allegiance"; the other, a set of slides in colors depict- ing the salient episodes connected with the solution of the problem, "How the English Colonies Came to Separate Themselves from the Mother Country."
In closing, may I again avail myself of the opportunity of ex- pressing to you my sincere appreciation of your confident sup- port, and also of thanking my co-workers-the principals and teachers-for the encouragement afforded by their spirit of gra- cious loyalty and untiring cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN MAUDE DELLICKER, Supervisor of Grammar Grades.

REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
MR. JAMES N. MUIR, Superintendent of Schools, Quincy, Mass.
My dear Mr. Muir:
I herewith submit my annual report of the drawing department of the public schools of Quincy for the year 1932.
Several extra pieces of work were completed this year in addi- tion to the routine work of the department. The first of these was an exhibit held in Kingson Hall, in February, for the Quincy Art League, showing the progress of the drawing work from Grade I through the Senior High School in the subjects of Design and Rep- resentation. The exhibit contained ninety-six mounts of drawings which well filled the hall. The work exhibited was chosen from the regular school work, and every school in the city was repre- sented. Twenty of these mounts of drawings were later loaned to the Wollaston Woman's Club for exhibition purposes.
Later in the spring a request was received from the Chamber of Commerce for a design for a banner for "Quincy Day." This was made a contest in the four Junior High Schools of the city. The judges announced Barbara Drury of the Central Junior High as the winner of the first prize, Forrest Kimball of Central Junior High winner of the second prize, and Helen Ferris also of Central Junior High winner of the third prize. Six special honorable mentions were given and many honorable mentions, all divided among the four schools.
Posters were made again this year for the Norfolk County Health Association, the contest being carried on in the Junior High Schools of the city. The Quincy judges met on May 20th, and selected the five best posters from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. These posters selected by the judges were sent to the annual meeting of the association at Braintree to be exhibited and judged with posters from other cities and towns of Norfolk County. Geraldine Avery of the Quincy Point Junior High received second prize in grade seven and Marilyn Walsh of Central Junior High received honorable mention in grade eight.
In the fall of this year, several changes occurred in the teaching staff of this department. Miss Julia Rutledge of the Quincy Point Junior High had resigned to fill a position in Boston, and her place was filled by the appointment of Miss Helen Leighton of Arlington, who is an experienced Junior High School art teacher. With the addition of the eleventh grade at the North Quincy High School, and the prospect of the twelfth grade next year in that building, it became necessary to have two full time art teachers in that building. Miss Marjorie White of the Central Junior High was therefore transferred to this new position, and her former place was filled by the apointment of Miss Vera Stevens, who had satis- factorily filled a vacancy for us a few years ago.
A course in Art Appreciation has been started in the first six grades by means of slides from the department of Visual Education with the kind cooperation of Mr. Krasker.
I am glad to have this opportunity to thank you, Mr. Muir, for your unfailing help and interest in this department, and also to thank Miss Helen Ash for her faithful cooperation, and to thank

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Quincy :
The rapid growth of Quincy is best shown by the over- crowded condition of her public schools, and the consequent demand for additional school buildings. While the city has done much to relieve the congestion in certain directions, it has, as a matter of fact, gained but little in the total seating capacity of its school buildings. The new Quincy School at Atlantic has twelve rooms, four more than the old building, yet the pupils that were formerly provided for in the annex have so filled the school that the old building will again be necessary to accommodate the pupils of this district. The Committee earnestly recommends that measures be taken to secure a building in the Montclair section of ward six. A school located in this precinct would not only relieve the Quincy School, but would also make it possible to transfer pupils from the Wollaston and Massachusetts Fields districts ; thus giving ample school accommodations to the north end of the city for some years.
The opening of the year 1909 will see the children of the Coddington district in the new building. The Committee wishes at this time to congratulate the city, the architect and the builder upon this splendid structure, which so fittingly takes its place among the public buildings at the center of the city as the most complete and well constructed school building of our city. The new Coddington is largely the
5
6
product of Quincy industries. It has been the aim of the architect to incorporate in this building all the latest features of a modern school building, including a large assembly hall, properly directed light, ready exits and fire-proof stair- ways. The exterior is beautiful in its simplicity. Unfortu- nately, the yard space is so limited as to preclude a front view of the building from Coddington street. It is hoped that the city may eventually secure the Arnold property and thus give the children adequate yard accommodations. It has three more rooms than the old building. As it has been necessary this year to devote two rooms in the High School to pupils of the Coddington district, the new building will provide but one additional room, which means that only fifty new pupils can be accommodated in the new building. The capacity of the Washington School at Quincy Point is much over taxed and it will soon be necessary to make some pro- vision for the pupils of this district. To relieve effectively and permanently the congestion in this part of the city your Committee requests that a building be erected in ward two, near the junction of Scammell, South and Sumner streets. A building in this locality would not only meet the local re- quirements, but would also relieve the Coddington, Washing- ton and Adams Schools.
The School Committee, in its annual report for 1907, showed the need of a four-room building at Houghs Neck. This section of the city is rapidly becoming a place of per- manent residence for many of our citizens, One hundred twenty-five pupils are transported daily from Houghs Neck and Germantown to the Coddington school, at an annual cost of about twelve hundred dollars. Considered, solely from an economic standpoint, a building such as is recommended could be maintained, including interest on the investment, at a less sum than is paid for transportation alone, and the present inconvenience to parents, children and the city would be avoided.
