REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
As was indicated in my report one year ago, the most pressing business before this board during the past year has been the pro- viding of means whereby the overcrowding existent at that time might be checked and guarded against in the immediate future. A public secondary school is obliged to receive all who are qualified for entrance and must then achieve its ends subject to the handicap that possible overcrowding may impose. A private secondary school, on the other hand is subject to no such obligation, its prim- ary duty being to receive only so many pupils as it is able to train efficiently and well. There is ample reason why it seemed best to limit the numbers in attendance at Woodward Institute by means other than those afforded by a competitive examination.
The course of study as amended during the year and adopted by the Directors gives promise both of accomplishing the immediate end sought and of materially raising the standard of the school, so far as scholarship is concerned. Without circumscribing the scope of the activity of the school, there is now presented to the pupil seeking entrance, a range of subjects for choice among which ap- pear none that can be looked upon or made use of, as easy courses. Being confronted with a choice of work, all of which requires at the outset earnest, sustained effort, the girl who is not serious in her ambition has turned elsewhere for her education. On the other
303
hand, it has happened this year, that our programme of sustained, purposeful work has attracted a larger number than usual of the girls who have a plan of education mapped out for years ahead. The Institute this year enrolled 10 pupils less than in 1912; the Fresh- man class has been smaller by 22. Notwithstanding this decrease in the size of the Freshman class, the number of girls preparing for college has doubled and the number preparing for normal schools has increased.
A comparison of the statistical table in the present report show- ing the distribution of pupils by classes and courses, witlı like tables of the past few years make apparent, conditions and manifest tendencies which can only lead to the conclusion that the standard of scholarship and purposeful aim on the part of the student body is a constantly rising one. The scholarship record of the entering class this year. the best over a long series of years, bears further evidence on this point.
The complete success of the amended course of study in ac- complishing its purpose and more, in the first year of its trial, leads one to believe that the probleni of accommodations will not again become a matter for consideration for five or six years at least, dur- ing which time we may expect a constantly rising scale of scholar- ship.
There are two suggestions as to details in the course of study which are offered for your consideration.
As is widely known, the music in Woodward Institute is of high merit. It may be advisable definitely to frame the course so as to meet the requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board, for those pupils who may desire to present that subject as an elective and it probably is advisable to allow credit toward a diploma for outside work in music done under private tutelage where that work and tutelage are of unquestioned merit and fideli- ty. Many girls who are of secondary school age and at the adoles- cent period, are striving not only to complete their secondary school education but also to carry on a more or less ambitious musical education. Too often the girl succumbs to the strain and either relinquishes one ambition or the other, or loses her health in trying to realize both. Provided that the girl is able to satisfy the director of music that the amount and quality of her private work in music is on a par with that demanded in the school, such outside education should be accepted by the school toward her diploma.
The other suggestion concerns the work in Household Arts among the pupils who may elect it next year. Such work has never attained its maximum efficiency where restricted to the traditional method of school instruction, either demonstration by the teacher or laboratory experiment, so to speak. by the pupil herself. Under accepted methods of instruction, it has been quite possible and of common occurrence for a girl to be very efficient in the Household Arts class, while very inefficient or non-efficient in her own house-
304
hold. To have the course of most worth, the pupil must be required to follow up her class instruction by actual participation in house- hold duties and responsibilities to a degree which will prove to the instructor, and not the less to her parents that training in House- hold Arts is really training and not dabbling. To you who, of course, all agree with me that the purpose of education is charac- ter, these suggestions, although a little off the beaten path ought to appear practical and contributory to useful ends. It ought to be possible to put them into practice.
As this report will go to the parents, I wish to incorporate a word of suggestion and an appeal for assistance.
Your girl is fortunate in being able to attend a school with the peculiar advantages which Woodward Institute is able to afford, and in two respects these advantages are very marked :- the school is for girls alone, and it has classes sufficiently small as to allow in- dividual help and oversight. Under these circumstances, there is every reason why a girl should succeed in her school life; there is very small excuse for her failure. Therefore in case a girl is not making proper progress and development, the questions should cer- tainly be asked, and in all cases they may well be asked :- Are the factors which ought to be in co-operation with the school doing their part? How is the leisure time being spent? Are the home study hours sufficient and properly observed? Is the girl being trained to bear responsibility and is she made responsible for a share in the home duties? Are her surroundings such that she is instinctively learning to respect all authority, to reverence Supreme Authority ?
These questions and many more the parents may well ask themselves, for it is the home and not the school that is the central factor in training girlhood into worthy womanhood. The share of the school is a large one but it never can take the place of the home or offer a substitute for it; with the two in co-operation how- ever, the task of each is made all the easier and the successful out- come more easily secured.
The Institute property has been maintained in its usual excel- lent condition both as to building and equipment and the affairs en- trusted to this Board have been administered economically and effectively. A table printed in the statistical appendix will be of interest to you and to the citizens as showing the total cost and the per capita cost of conducting this school during its years of ex- istence. It will be noted that the per capita cost of its administra- tion at the present time, notwithstanding its higher scale of salaries, is at the lowest point in its history and in marked contract with its early years Meanwhile all the equipment of the school has been kept up to a high level.
Miss Susan A. Lyle who was last year the Teacher of Household Arts, severed her connection with the Institute in June and en- tered the service of the Schenectady High School.
305
There have been added to the decorations of the school, several slabs of the Parthenon Frieze, as gifts from the Alumnae, the class of 1916, and the sewing class.
The Alumnae prize of five dollars worth of books for the best essay written by a member of the class of 1913 on an assigned sub- ject was awarded to Katharine Merrill.

Preparation for admission to college is necessarily so difficult and a thorough preparation so essential to the best results after admission, that in most cases five years should be devoted to it. The course outlined above has been arranged to include the re- quirements of all the Eastern colleges to which women are ad- mitted, and can easily be adapted to the requirements of each college. It can be so modified as to prepare in four years in ex- ceptional cases where the student is mentally and physically strong. The full five year course is urgently recommended.

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 literature of various na- tions and cover many subjects. There are three distinct aims in the course: (1) to teach the students to read intelligently and enjoy- ably; (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. An outline history of English literature, supplemented 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 expressing themselves clearly and logically in oral as well as in written form. Fortnightly themes are required during the first three years. These formal compositions are supplemented by frequent class-room ex- ercises 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.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC.
The aim of the department of music is to cultivate a taste for good music and to prepare the girls for intelligent and appreciative work in the further pursuit of the art in its various branches.
The vocal and choral study includes vocalization, solfeggio, sight reading, dynamics, breath control, intonation, enunciation, 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 construction of our present-day tonalities, major, all minor forms and chromatic scale in all keps, 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.
Vocal and choral work (entire school required) one period weekly.
DEPARTMENT OF ART.
The study of art must necessarily be considered a whole rather than the work of different classes; therefore, the course in 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 ad- vanced schools, but also to appreciate the best in art.
The general plan is as follows:
Freehand 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 in color in water colors and in oil.
Modeling and casting.
Mechanical drawing.

ARGUMENT.
Iolanthe, daugbter of King Rene, Count of Provence, has been betrothed in infancy to the son of the Count of Vaudemont. Strick- en with blindness when but a year old, she has been reared with all knowledge of the faculty of sight withheld from her. A leech or magician has promised to restore her sight by means of an amulet which he has given her, on condition that she is first informed of the missing sense; but the King has refused permission.
Iolanthe's betrothed, wandering as a troubadour, comes to her abode in a valley of Vaucluse. Without knowing her- for a terri- torial feud has kept their lives apart-the troubadour knight is enthralled by her beauty. He does not know that she is blind, and his words reveal to her the faculty of which she has been kept in ignorance; he thus unwittingly aids the magician's art, and Iolan- the is restored to sight.
