Evening Schools
It seems best to go into a consideration of the public even- ing schools of the city in some detail for several reasons. It has been generally admitted, both in the previous reports of this department and by the principals of these schools that re- sults have been very unsatisfactory during the past few years both in attendance and in spirit. As the evening department of a public school system has very broad and well defined fields of usefulness, no pains should be spared in realizing all the possibilities that may be secured from this side of educational work for rendering assistance to the many in every community who are vaguely wishing for a broader outlook upon life. The primary purpose of the evening schools is and will be for some time to come the preparation for citizenship of the men and women who are coming to this country from other lands, igno- rant of our language, customs and institutions.
This city has a large number of such people within its limits, and as the men cannot gain the rights and privileges of legal voters until they first have acquired the ability to read and write the English language, and as the right of citizenship is the great goal to which most of them look forward, the very plain duty is imposed upon the school department of appeal- ing to these people and of offering them such opportunities as will enable them both to realize their ambition for citizenship and, if possible, to raise themselves in the social and economic scale. As a large number of our foreign population are skilled workers in wood, iron or granite, the right sort of opportunity or appeal to their ambition may do much to assist them in bettering their condition.
Besides this class there must be a large number of people in Quincy, as there are in every community whose opportunities at the public schools were limited or perhaps not used to the best advantage, and who after passing the school period of life realize the need of further education in assisting them to make a successful career in the world.
37
Almost every community has at all times a large number of young men and women, who are quietly making an effort to gain an education either in general or in certain special lines, outside the hours of their regular employment. This number is constantly shifting and changing. Some disappointed at meeting the obstacles that will always arise, especially in the path of one struggling alone, become discouraged, lose sight of the outlook ahead and give up the struggle. Others succeed in a measure in attaining what they seek and slowly work their way up in the industrial or business world by means of their own unaided efforts.
It is the duty of the school department of every city through its evening schools to render assistance to such students and to maintain at least one school of high grade capable of giving service in many lines. Very likely the fact that the evening schools of this city for the last few years have done only elementary work has led to the gradual loss of attendance.
For a number of years past two evening schools of a general nature have been conducted in the Adams and Willard build- ings. These schools have been carried on for about forty even- ings each winter, with no restriction upon registration and practically none upon attendance, open to all who cared to en- rol. The results have been disappointing from the education- al standpoint because of the transient attendance, the lack of interest on the part of many of the pupils, and the disturbance or interference with quiet orderly work on the part of a few, who, by the way, are almost alway English speaking pupils.
As no complete statistics have been kept which would give any standard of comparison, this irregularity of attendance cannot be definitely shown, but there is no lack of testimony to the fact that there has been a great amount of educational waste and too little educational efficiency.
Besides these two schools there has been conducted for many years an evening drawing school which has been gradually growing in size and reaching a high level on the educational side.
38
This year some changes were made in the scope and regula- tion of our evening schools for the purpose of securing greater return for the money expended upon them.
The common evening schools, so called, were divided into two distinct departments, one for those unable to read and write the English language; the other for the English speaking pupils. In the first department there was no restriction upon enrolment and the only restriction upon attendance was the requirement that the student must not be absent for three con- secutive school nights without good excuse on penalty of ex- clusion from school.
In the second department, where attendance had formerly been most irregular and there had been much trouble from dis- turbers and curiosity seekers, a registration fee of one dol- lar was required at entrance, which fee was refunded at the close of the term to those who had been in attendance seventy- five per cent. of the sessions. " How this plan worked out is best shown by the following table of attendance :

The total enrolment of the Adams evening school, one hundred sixty-eight, shows a decrease of thirty-eight from that of 1908; the average attendance however was seventy-four, an increase of seventeen over that of the previous year. In other words, considerable better attendance was secured from a smaller possible number of pupils, a large number of curiosity seekers and idlers were eliminated by the registration require- ment and the service rendered was given to pupils who appar- ently appreciated the opportunities afforded.
At the Willard evening school where the enrolment was ninety-two, which was less than last year by thirty-seven, the average attendance was thirty-three or exactly the same as in 1908, indicating a gain in efficiency if not in attendance. The enrolment at this school with one exception was entirely of non-English speaking pupils.
How difficult and diverse is the task of these elementary evening schools may be inferred from the fact that at the Adams school among the illiterates were pupils of seven- teen different nationalities of which the Italian was consider- ably in the lead, while at the Willard school there were five nationalities, two-thirds of the pupils being of the Finnish race.
The attendance table is of considerable interest too in the information it gives as to the regularity of attendance. With a majority of the pupils in attendance for less than fifteen out of the forty nights of the term conditions can scarcely be con- sidered satisfactory. As there are no statistics of this sort for previous years, no exact comparisons can be made, although there has certainly been an improvement, but even so there was still too much of the teaching energy of the evening schools wasted upon those who were indifferent to the priv- ileges offered them.
The Adams school this winter was under the direction of John F. Roache as Principal with Marie E. McCue, Josephine L. Kelley, Jennie F. Griffin, Daisy F. Burnell and Elizabeth W. Ross as assistants.
41
The principal of the Willard school was David H. Good- speed, with Frances C. Sullivan, Ellen G. Haley, Elizabeth Sullivan and Mary E. Burns as assistants.
The evening drawing school was under the direction of Laurence A. Sprague, who has been the principal for the last two years, with Lillian Newman as assistant. This school was successful to a marked degree in every particular and is without question doing a work of great value to many young people of the city. In order to restrict the attendance, if pos- sible, to those who had an actual interest in their work, a deposit of one dollar was required of all registrants, which was refunded at the close of the term in case of regular attendance. The total registration was seventy-four, of which number three were women ; an increase of sixteen over the enrolment of last year. Ten of these pupils enrolled to take free-hand drawing and sixty-four to take mechanical drawing. Because of the numbers, it was necessary to divide the class into two sections, each attending two evenings per week. The average attend- ance per week was 58.4, as compared with 23.6 last year, a very marked increase; the percentage of attendance was 92.6, altogether an excellent showing. These pupils were apparent- ly intensely interested in their work which was, of course of vital significance to them. Of all ages, from sixteen to fifty, the large majority were under twenty-one, at the apprentice period of life. The vocations represented by the pupils in- cluded carvers, letterers, stone cutters, electricians, merchants, carpenters, coppersmiths, moulders, blacksmiths, printers, clerks and plumbers; and the pupils were, as a rule, intent upon equipping themselves for the higher branches of their trades.
This year, for the first time, an evening cooking class was formed at the high school building with Sarah C. Ames as instructor. A fee of one dollar was charged all registrants. The total membership of the school was twenty-two with an average attendance of 18.4, and a percentage of attendance of 83.6. The term covered a period of twenty lessons.
42
This rather detailed statement of the condition of the schools is necessary in order that we may determine means of improv- ing them, as existing conditions must be well understood before proper remedies can be suggested.
It seems quite plain that the following changes are needed to make the evening work of the school system more valuable. First, to establish one large central evening school instead of two small schools for those who wish to learn the English lan- guage. The attendance at both the Adams and Willard even- ing schools is small. If the two were combined there would be a saving in the matter of administration and very likely with a larger attendance a better graded and more interesting school would result. As a majority of the men enrolled are en- gaged in heavy manual labor it would seem reasonable to be- lieve that three sessions per week would produce a higher at- tendance and better results than the four session week.
Moreover, there should be advanced classes opened at the high school for the benefit of those pupils whom the lower grade evening schools do not reach. A class in advanced Eng- lish subjects, such as arithmetic, penmanship, correspondence, history, and civil government would be of probable inter- est. A class too should be formed for the purpose of helping those who are planning to take civil service examinations, and there are a good many such persons in every city. Possibly too, a class for instruction in commercial branches might be formed in case a sufficient number of pupils desired it.
The evening drawing classes should be so graded that begin- ners and advanced pupils may be taught in separate divisions, and provision should be made for a longer course than was given this year. Considering the success of this school in the past the city can well afford to devote more money to its support.
The cooking class should be continued and the city would be justified in providing classes for instruction in sewing and dressmaking. The opportunities offered women should be just as broad as those offered men.
43
These changes in the evening school system would, in short, give us one elementary school and one advanced school; the former, with the main purpose of preparing our foreign popu- lation for citizenship; the latter sufficiently broad and flexible to meet the various educational needs that are manifest in the community.
The organization of the evening schools on some such basis as this and a careful analysis of the result in its various advan- tages and disadvantages will give aid in finally formulating a plan for these schools that will produce definite efficiency.
In concluding this report, I wish to express my appreciation of the cordial welcome that I have received in coming to Quincy to take up my work. The hearty co-operation of the teachers, the interest and support of the school committee and spirit of the community have all been factors whose help I am glad to acknowledge.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT L. BARBOUR, Superintendent.

In Memoriam
Miss Emeline A. Newcomb
A teacher in the Willard School continuously from April, 1857, to May, 1909, a period of over fifty-two years.
Beginning to teach at the early age of eighteen, she served faithfully through many changing conditions the children of two generations.
Her record was remarkable not only from its length, but from the fact that she taught in the same district all those years.
Quietly she went to her daily work and performed it in a modest and unassuming way, always devoted to her duty and loyal to the community.
Mr. E. Landis Snyder
Supervisor of Music in the Public Schools of Quincy from September, 1901, to August, 1909.
Always enthusiastically devoted to his work, Mr. Snyder spared neither time nor strength in his efforts to reach the highest standards of efficiency .
He was a man of talent and refinement, of high ideals and of exceptional character, courteous, sincere and inspiring, and he was of the greatest possible service to all his pupils.

Report of the Truant Officer
Mr. Albert L. Barbour, Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my twelfth annual report as truant officer. The detail work of this office is increasing rapidly, due to the changing population of our city. There seems to be a great desire on the part of many parents to force their children into the factory and store at an early age, and a large part of the non-attendance reported is due to this cause. For- tunately for the children the law is their benefactor and in many cases only the vigorous enforcement of the same has kept the children in school. The home is fast losing its hold upon the life of the child, due in a large measure to the attractions of the street and cheap places of amusement, the child thereby making school life and attendance at same a secondary matter.
There has been a slight decrease in truancy the past year, due to a number of the boys being sent to the Training School in the early part of the year.
I desire to acknowledge the assistance of the several chari- table organizations in many cases of need among children, also the co-operation of both superintendent and masters in my efforts made to uplift the children.
The following table will show in detail my work during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. JOHNSON, Truant Officer.
