Evening Schools
The statistics of evening school attendance will be found in the appendix of this report. There are some pertinent comments which may be given here as the result of one more year's observation. Our system of evening schools, as a whole, is very far from the point where it should be to render all the service that a city of this size ought to have, and yet both from the standpoint of numbers, regularity of attendance and breadth of appeal, it has made steady advance this year as for several years past.
The schools maintained to teach the English language to non-English speaking people again show increased attendance and interest. The Willard school is almost entirely a Finnish school, while the Adams school has many nationalities with the Italian predominating. Though the numbers in attend- ance increase each year, they are still relatively small com- pared with the total number to whom such schools might appeal. Especially small is the number of women in attend- ance, though every effort has been made to reach them and place the advantages of such schools before them. The pol- icy of separating evening school classes for foreigners from the more advanced classes has been shown wise by the results of the last two years. There is now a question whether it would not also be advisable to open a third school in the John Han- cock or Lincoln buildings, points which are very central to many who are not now attending any school.
In the case of the advanced evening classes which have been carried on at the high school building there has been little change from last year. The classes in commercial sub- jects have been taught with skill and enthusiasm worthy of the attendance of more interested pupils. A close examina- tion of the personnel of these classes has shown but few directly engaged in business practice and a considerable number who had no specific aim. The class in preparation for civil ser- vice examinations was smaller in numbers because of the omission this year of any government postal examination
31
under the civil service. The classes in sewing and cooking were well taught and attended up to the capacity of a single teacher to instruct them, but the number of people in either class who were directly engaged in housework where the sub- ject matter would apply, was comparatively small. This is not saying at all that these classes are not intended for others, but it was hoped that the persons directly engaged in home making would be interested the most in such work as these classes offer, and would be much in the majority. These household arts classes were conducted only two evenings per week for a period of ten weeks and the course intended to be covered was well outlined in advance.
It would seem advisable next year to open similar classes in other sections of the city; possibly in the same buildings where classes in elementary English for foreigners are now carried on with the hope of inducing a wider and more di- versified patronage.
The proper attitude toward all the present evening school courses now conducted, as well as those that may be projected hereafter, is that they are not simply to meet a need which makes itself known and becomes insistent, but that they are to find out and anticipate the need; in other words, if there is any work of an educational nature which ought to be done in this community, it is the duty of the school department to take the initiative in searching it out and in doing that work in a convincing manner. It is not the proper attitude to wait until there comes a loud call for help at our door. Our duty is to gather groups that have particular needs and ambitions and satisfy them. We are to be aggressive and persistent in the interest of a finer citizenship for the city, not complacent and tolerant.
The evening courses in drawing have been by all odds the most effective things that we have accomplished, and as has been said before, they will lead out next year under state guidance into specific vocational courses, while the drawing of a general nature will still be carried on by the city. As we succeed in finding groups of young people in the various skilled
32
industries that the evening schools are able to assist, we shall gradually build up a compact, comprehensive and effective system of evening education, whose possibilities for good can scarcely be measured.
Physical Education
The physical side of education has developed steadily during the year. Little by little, the lower grades have been brought into line, the teachers have become acquainted with the aims and methods needed in their grades, and now the work has reached a firm basis. The outcome in the course of a few years ought easily to be foreseen. The instruction being systematic and regular, not spasmodic, should make its effect visible in improved posture, carriage and breathing habits and by idealizing the aim of health and physical well- being, it should make them assets to be striven for and prized. The play activity has been more carefully directed than ever before, and our system of outdoor games at all the schools has reached a point of excellence which deserves hearty com- mendation. Our recess games have been visited and observed with much interest by educators from other towns and cities.
The side of athletics in the elementary school has received thoughtful attention and two series of inter-school contests of much merit have been carried through with a wide interest on the part of most of the pupils and many of the parents as well. Both in baseball and in association football a long series of games was played, giving pupils a taste of the sweets of victory and the bitterness of defeat. It is difficult to see in what way we could better imbue a spirit of forbearance and squareness under temptation than in these games, while the creation of an interest in outdoor games and sports has a value that makes itself felt all through the after life. The equip- ment of the high school gymnasium with a few simple pieces of apparatus has been a forward step in the work planned for the older pupils, and having a coach for the high school sports has contributed a great deal to their success.
33
One element of waste on the side of the direction of the physical activities of the children lies in its divided responsibil- ity. With one person responsible for the daily drill and the recess and after school games, another department re- sponsible for the establishment of a thorough system of medi- cal inspection, and still another responsible for the summer games on the play grounds, little needs to be said by way of comment. Looking at the side of physical direction as a whole, and speaking of it irrespective of the agents by whom it is carried out what it now needs may be stated as follows :
There should be a regular and careful examination of all school children at regular intervals, instead of the desultory examin- ation of ailing children which now takes place, excellent though that may be as far as it goes. The present practice in this respect though it complies with the letter of the law does not at all comply with its spirit, nor can we expect to do so for the meagre sum expended.
Medical inspection should be extended to include dental inspection, and possibly in some cases dental repair.
There must come soon the opening of one or more fresh air school rooms at some central point where special attention may be given to those children who are anaemic and with some tendency to tuberculosis.
There is further call for a city wide supervision and safe- guarding of the children while at play on the public play ground in the summer time. The equipment of play grounds for every ward in the city must, according to statute, be pro- vided for. Unless this is followed by adequate supervision the equipment fails of its purpose, and the playgrounds may easily become the breeding place of the very evils that they are designed to correct. All these are desirable additions on the side of physical welfare and, moreover, they are bound to come to pass; it is, therefore, better that they be done ade- quately and efficiently than in an incomplete way. More or less expensive they are bound to be, but not so, viewed in the light of the good that will be accomplished and the energy that will be saved and properly directed.
34
Parents-Teachers Associations
During the past year, parent-teachers associations have been organized at both the Adams and the Cranch schools, which together with those previously in existence, now give the city four interested organizations co-operating with the school department in making its educational effort more in- telligent and more fruitful. There can be no dispute as to the value of such organizations when properly directed. As has been said many times before in school reports, teachers, superintendent and school board can go only a limited way in developing a satisfactory school system. For real results a co-operation of all interested parties is needed, of a nature which will keep the child's training under joint consideration during the time when he is away from school as well as during the time at school. Education is a matter for which parents more than teachers are responsible. The best results can never be secured when the parties concerned work independently any more than they can in other lines of enterprise. It is the aim of the school department to bring all factors interested in education into co-operation and harmony in order that the greatest possible good may be secured from this united effort. For that reason the grad- ual increase in the number of these organizations is a welcome augury of success.
In conclusion I wish to make record of the pleasure I have experienced in the work and progress of the year.
The present is a time of wide extension and rapid change in educational affairs ,but with an interested community, a public spirited school committee and an efficient and loyal corps of teachers, we may reasonably look forward to a wise and practical solution of the new problems that are sure to face us.
