Woodward Institute
To the Mayor and City Council:
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Woodward Institute held Tuesday, December 26, 1911, it was voted to accept the report of the Superintendent and to adopt the same as the report of this Board.
ALBERT L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent
Report of the Superintendent
Gentlemen: I herewith submit my third annual report as Superintendent of Woodward Institute.
The past year has been an uneventful one for the school but highly successful so far as concerns the efforts whichi have been made to accomplish thorough and effective work. A rather greater number of changes have taken place in the teaching force than is customarily to be expected but the changes have all been made without undue break in the cur- rent of the school's activities.
Miss Abbie O. Stoddard, who for some years had been in charge of the science department resigned in the spring to accept a responsible position along similar lines in the Newton high school. Miss Stoddard's work had been characterized by thoroughness and ingenuity and was in all respects highly successful. Her position has been filled by Miss Lillian M. Annis, a graduate of Bates College and at the time of her appoint- ment, a teacher in the North Andover high school.
Miss Susie T. Sprout, who for seven years had given two
6
days each week to instruction in domestic science, resigned in June to accept a like position in the Wellesley high school. Miss Sprout instituted this department in Quincy and had given the school faithful service.
Miss Frances M. Whitcomb also resigned her position in June as teacher of sewing and dressmaking in order to give full time to her department in the Quincy high school. Dur- ing the past year she had been giving one third of her time to Woodward Institute and the balance to the High School. These two resignations occurring at the same time enabled us to combine the work under one teacher and Miss Lisabelle Linnell, a graduate of Simmons College and with successful experience at Berlin, N. H., was appointed to the position. The results, both because of the advantage of combining the two positions and because of Miss Linnell's especial fitness for this line of work have been highly satifsactory and the school now provides splendid opportunities for girls to fit themselves thoroughly in the essentials of home-making.
Miss Addie E. Towne, teacher of modern languages was granted a year's leave of absence in June for the purpose of rest and travel. Her position is being filled in the mean- while by Miss Gertrude Holland, a graduate of Tufts College and last year an instructor in the Upton high school.
The school seems to be steadily advancing in numbers as well as in quality of work. At the opening of the fall term, the incoming class was larger than in any previous year, and the enrolment of the school also reached a higher point than ever before. This situation while it is encouraging in the sense that it shows that the peculiar opportunities of the school, are appreciated by those who are entitled to avail themselves of them, is not without its perplexities as one looks ahead. The capacity of the school for successful service is not above two hundred pupils and of course a school of the type of ours should not allow itself to reach the point where overcrowding will limit its usefulness. At the present time, we are not more than two years away from the period when this point will be near at hand and when, in consequence, the

policy of the present must be changed.
From this distance several courses of action present themselves.
There is, first, the thought of addition to the present building. A consideration of the amount of the invested funds of the school, together with a study of the present an- nual margin between income and expenditures makes it quite evident that there is neither principal for enlargement of the school nor the necessary income for any added cost of maintenance.
Action will therefore probably be confined to one of two possible courses: first, admission to Woodward Institute from the grammar schools by examination instead of certificate, which could limit each year the size of the entering class and which would of course raise the standard of scholarship in the school very materially; or,as an alternative, a limitation of the field of action, or departments which the school now covers. It is not necessary yet to make choice between these two courses but the time for decision is near enough at hand to cause us to give the problem serious thought.
