At a meeting of the Board of Directors held January 4, the report of the Superintendent was accepted, adopted and ordered printed as the report of the Board.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the Board of Directors of Woodward Institute.
Gentlemen: I have the pleasure of submitting my seventh annual report as Superintendent of this School.
Statistics appended to this report make clear the conditions of enrollment, attendance and general distribution of work, which do not vary greatly from last year.
Each year, the question is asked by an increasing number of girls about to graduate from grammar school and eligible to enter this school, -"What has Woodward Institute to offer me for an education?"
The answer has been somewhat as follows: "Woodward Institute offers you the undoubted advantages of study in a school specialized for girls, where there is a marked freedom from the distractions which are inevitably present in a mixed school or in a large school community. It can offer you exceptionally strong courses in preparation either for college or normal school, combining scholarly instruction on the part of the teaching force with the close personal oversight which the prin- cipal is able to give each individual in the small school groups. It offers, further, a fairly wide group of the accepted secondary school subjects from which you may select those which will contribute to your comfort, intelligence and culture in case you are not going on to a higher school.
"But - Woodward Institute makes a demand as well as an offer. It demands of you in return for its advantages a more faithful atten- dance, a more conscientious effort and a closer application than the public school would ask. Furthermore the Institute will insist on its demands."
These have been the answers which we have been giving each year to our prospective pupils.
Each year we have been laying more and more stress upon good scholarship and the necessity of doing thorough work if a girl is to enter this school. This emphasis may well be continued and still further deepened. It should be borne in mind by every girl who enters our school that we are going to make larger demands upon her time than the average public high school can well do and we are able to make these demands with the more assurance because the school is not obliged to harbor the pupil of indifferent attitude or low scholar- ship. To establish and hold high ideals of scholarship may well be the distinct mission of the school standing apart as it does in a city of constantly and rapidly growing population.
It is an aid in this direction that we are constantly attracting a large number of pupils who are in preparation for college or normal school. This choice, of course, of necessity presupposes close and sustained effort, and the presence of so large a number of pupils with this aim tends to steady and determine the purpose of the whole school.
One of the most difficult things that every high-grade private school has to overcome is the widespread feeling that the private school is
310
a haven of refuge for those who wish to avoid the strenuous effort of the public school. Our effort is to raise rather than lower this stan- dard and to make it plain that Woodward Institute stands only for thorough and excellent scholarship under a tutelage which will lead toward fineness of character. There is every indication that our continued and consistent efforts in this direction will bring the desired results.
This year, for the first time in three years, there was a request for instruction in cooking and sewing on the part of the senior class and courses have been provided in each subject. The instruction in cook- ing for two periods each week is being given by Miss Elizabeth M. Douglas and the work in sewing is under the direction of Miss Hazel H. Wavle. Both these teachers are on the teaching staff of the Quincy High School and their services are secured by arrangement with the public school department of the city.
It is hardly necessary to say that both courses have been so planned as to provide the maximum of useful work for those who elect them.
Mention was made last year in this report of the unusually ingen- ious and profitable work done in the science department of the school. Just at present, the department is making itself helpful by compound- ing and preparing hundreds of bottles of tooth powder which the public school nurse has sold at cost in the elementary schools of the city.
It is a pleasure to note the return of Miss C. Louise Steele to the English department, after a year's leave of absence spent in the West; Miss Taber, who acted as substitute for the year, has taken similar work at the Quincy High School.
The material condition of the school building and its equipment is excellent. The roof has been entirely reslated during the year, a sanitary drinking fountain has been installed and a fire alarm gong put in place. The close scrutiny of school buildings which has taken place during the last few months with reference to fire hazards finds us with little to apprehend. The many exits to the building, its freedom from overcrowding and its general arrangement give us confidence that it is as free from possible danger as any wooden school building can be.
The Institute acknowledges with thanks the gift of a picture, "Castle of St. Angelo," from the class of 1918.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT L. BARBOUR.
