The regular meetings of the Directors have been held as heretofore.
The resignation of Mr. Frederic W. Plummer, as prin- cipal of the institute, was a matter of regret to all connected with the school. His skill as teacher, his high character as a gentleman, his prolonged tenure of office were all of character- istie value to the school, and the Chairman thinks that he voices the feelings of all connected with him in regretting his loss. They feel, however, that they have been fortunate in se- curing the services of a skilled and mature principal in the person of Mr. Horace W. Rice.
The wisdom of the selection has already been proved. Mr. Rice has shown his fitness for the work from the begin- ning. There has been no break or interruption in the work or usefulness of the institution. The Chairman feels that if the honored founder could return, he would experience only the highest pleasure and gratification at the prosperity of the school, which he gave his money to found.
Respectfully submitted. ELLERY C. BUTLER. For the Board of Directors.

Report of Superintendent
To the Board of Directors of Woodward Institute :
Gentlemen: In accordance with the rules and regulations of this board, I herewith submit my second annual report as Superintendent of Woodward Institute.
The event most worthy of note in the year's work of the school was the resignation of Mr. Frederic W. Plummer. who had been principal for the past nine years, to accept the principalship of the Chelsea High School, a position of greater responsibility and opportunity. Mr. Plummer's term of ser- vice at the head of Woodward Institute was an eminently suc- cessful one. He assumed the principalship at the time when the school had but a small attendance and before it had become a proved success, and by a wise and tactful administration he had steadily improved its efficiency, and its standing among secondary schools. From an attendance of 88. distributed among six classes, the numbers have increased more than 100 per cent, and the work and the energy of the school are now confined to the four classes usually found in public high schools. Mr. Plummer carries with him to his new field the hearty esteem of the faculty and pupils of Woodward Institute and the universal good will of the community.
From a large field of candidates to fill the vacancy in the principalship caused by Mr. Plummer's resignation, the posi- tion was offered to Mr. Horace W. Rice, for twelve years prin- cipal of the High school at Natick, Massachusetts and was ac- cepted by him.
Mr. Rice had been associated with your Superintendent for nine years in charge of a large and well-organized high school and his appointment to the principalship of our Insti- tute gives almost absolute assurance of its continued pros- perity. He begins his work with the largest Freshman class and the largest enrolment in the history of the school and there is every reason to look forward to a steady development of the school both in scholarship and in fineness of spirit.

With a view to increasing the efficiency of the school on the side of scholarship and to broaden the opportunities we may offer. the foregoing course of study was adopted during the past summer and is gradually being put into effect. In the appendix of this report, a complete and detailed statement is given showing exactly what work the school has to offer its pu- pils in various departments and this statement is well worth a careful consideration.
Speaking briefly, the changes most worthy of note are these :- Pupils will hereafter elect their work by courses, each with a definite and sustained plan, and not by subjects as heretofore. This change will not limit a pupil's freedom of choice in any other way than by preventing aimlessness and waste energy. There will in consequence of the change be fewer unwise choices, less conflict in courses and a closer super- vision of electives.
The commercial course will be changed by adapting it better to the maturity of the different classes. Bookkeeping will no longer be a Freshman subject, but will begin in the Sophomore year, being preceded by a thorough course in com- mercial arithmetic. penmanship. spelling and business corre- spondence. Stenography will begin in the Junior instead of the Sophomore vear as heretofore.
The new course of study makes the work in the Freshman year more definite by substituting algebra for inspectional geometry, and will also restore the balance in the science de- partment by bringing physies into greater prominence.
The household science and arts course is new to the school but is a logical outgrowth of the present day demands in the education of girls. This course should give thorough training in many lines of work, essentially contributing to successful home making and will. it is to be hoped. become one of the strongest features of the school's work. Beside the work in food values and preparation which the school has offered for some time and which will now be extended, a thorough course has been outlined extending over four years, in sewing, dress cutting and making, and millinery. Miss Frances M. Whit-
111
comb, a graduate of Simmons College has been placed in charge of this department in connection with a similar course which she is conducting in the Quincy High School and is handling it with intelligence and success.
ATTENDANCE
Mention has been made of the growth of the school. The tables of attendance which follow will show how the pupils are distributed among classes and are of especial value in indicat- ing the lines of work most generally selected.

The percentage of attendance for the year 1909-10 was 95.9, a remarkably high one and considerably better than that of the previous year. Six of the twenty-seven pupils who graduated in June, 1910, returned for graduate work; two en- tered college; one entered normal school and five are attending business schools. Of the present school enrolment more than forty per cent. are fitting for higher institutions as indicated in the following table :

IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS.
Few important repairs or changes on the building have been needed the past year. The arrangement of the locker rooms for the gymnasium has been altered and eighty new lockers have been installed without unduly crowding the space. A part of the unused corridor space has been partitioned off and is utilized for an office for the instructor in physical train- ing. The chairs and desks have been removed from one of the small classrooms on the second floor to the science lecture room, allowing the former room to be used for a sewing room. A re- cent inspection of the building by the Massachusetts District Police has disclosed a number of minor changes, necessary to conform with the requirements of that body, and these are now either completed or in process. Hand rails are called for on all stairways; outside doors not in regular use are to have their
114
latches changed so that they may be readily opened ; hand turn bolts are to be placed on all double doors and an additional exit is advised for the gymnasium. Repairs for the ensuing year, so far as now appear, are to be of a minor nature and ought to cause little expense.
The alumnae prize of five dollars' worth of books for the best essay written by a member of the Senior class (1910) was awarded to Miss Gertrude Shaw.
In all particulars the year's work has been a pleasant and successful one. While stress is laid, and needs to be laid more and more on developing scholarship, the social element has been no negligible factor in the girls' training. There have been many meetings, inter-class contests and other occasions of a social nature in which faculty and school have been brought together informally in a way which would hardly be possible in a public high school. These meetings have undoubtedly a very valuable educative effect entirely aside from their immediate purpose and the pleasure of the moment. The atmosphere of the school is thoroughly democratic, and the spirit of com- munity of interest is genuinely fine, and under such conditions Woodward Institute cannot fail to be powerful and efficient social factor in the community.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent.

116
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
LITERATURE
The first two years of the course in literature are spent in reading carefully, but without attempting analysis and criticism, as much of the world's best literature as the time will allow. The books are selected because they are adapted to the minds of the readers and are worth reading. They include not only English classics but good translations from the litera- ture of various nations and cover many subjects. There are three distinct aims in the course: (1) to teach the students to read intelligently and enjoyably; (2) to develop in them a taste for good literature; (3) to lay a broad foundation for the subsequent study and appreciation of the English classics selected for the third and fourth years. These are taken up in the order of narration, description, exposition, and argument. An outline history of English literature, sup- plemented by a study of English poets, completes the four years' course.
COMPOSITION
The work in composition is correlated with the course in literature-narration, description, exposition, and argument, each taken in turn. The course is designed to aid pupils in ex- pressing themselves clearly and logically in oral as well as in written form. Weekly themes are required during the first three years. These formal compositions are supplemented by frequent class-room exercises in dictation, letter-writing and outlining. During the fourth year, at least three compositions are required each week.
The pupils are urged to write from their own experience, to write often, and to acquire the habit of using simple, correct, idiomatic English.

The vocal and choral study includes vocalization, solfeg- gio, sight reading, dynamics, breath control, intonation, enun- ciation, unison and part singing.
The elementary theoretical work (required) aims to give the pupil a thorough foundation in the elements of music and includes rhythm, meter intervals, the derivation and construc- tion of our present day tonalities major, all minor forms and chromatic scale in all keys, triads, chords of the dominant and diminished sevenths and cadences, leading to the study of
Harmony-elective but strongly advised for all pupils in vocal or instrumental study.
Individual class work, one period weekly.

DEPARTMENT OF ART
The study of art must necessarily be considered as a whole rather than the work of different classes; therefore, the course of drawing is arranged to meet the needs of the individual student and is varied to suit any requirements.
Pupils are not only fitted for continuing their studies in advanced schools but also to appreciate the best in art.
124
The general plan is as follows :
Free-hand drawing of objects in pencil, and pen and ink, and principles of perspective.
Study of form, light and shade.
Study of design, applied decoration.
Study of color in water colors and in oil.
Modeling and casting.
Mechanical drawing.

CLASS ODE
Written by Marie Winifred Goodhue
As we bid farewell to Woodward Joy and sorrow strangely blend, Now through other scenes and pathways Each alone her way shall wend.
Many pleasant ties have bound us. Bright and gladsome is the past, Mem'ries sweet will linger round us As our thoughts we backward cast.
Vast and untried is the future Open are its portals thrown. Shall we find success or failure ? Time will answer-Time alone.
Fall we may-oft have the bravest. We must rise and start anew, Thus at last may we, dear Woodward, Pay our debt of love to you.
