Fewer evening classes for women have been formed this fall, due unquestionably to the many war activities in which women have been engaged. One class in millinery, one in dress- making and one in home nursing constitute our activities in this direction the present winter.
Further details of the work in industrial education will be found in the reports of Mr. Barrows and Miss Douglas, which are appended, and in the statistical tables.

QUINCY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
JANUARY 9, 1919.
MR. ALBERT L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith submit the seventh annual report of the Quincy Industrial School.
We began the year with an enrollment of ninety-one, since which time twenty-four pupils have enrolled and thirty-six have left, making an enrollment at the end of the year of eighty.
Distribution of pupils to date:
Machine Department, 31
Woodworking Department, 36
Electrical Department, 22
Sheet Metal and Plumbing Departments, 27
Total, 116
Economic conditions due in a large measure to the war have affected the School to some extent but not to the extent antici- pated.
Since the entry of the United States into the war especial emphasis has been given in our civics classes to the causes, progress and probable effect of the war on the United States and the world at large.
The School has also given material aid in the way of work for the Red Cross, the Food Production and Conservation Com- mittee and other war organizations.
We have also given Machine Shop training to a special pupil with a view to fitting him rapidly for a position at the Fore River in war work.
The work of the boys has kept up the high standard of pre- vious years and we feel that we are making a healthy growth, and in fact will soon outgrow our present quarters.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIJAH P. BARROWS,
Principal.

HOME-MAKING SCHOOL
JANUARY 2, 1919.
MR. A. L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent of Schools:
I take pleasure in submitting the report of the Day Home- Making School for the year 1918.
At no previous time has the school had so great an oppor- tunity to prove its usefulness in the community as during the past year. Our usefulness was hampered only by the limited amount of space. With many demands of all kinds each course has contributed its bit toward winning the war. The academic courses have made their contribution, by giving a better idea of the aims of the United States, such as: the reasons for the issuance of bonds; and a knowledge of the work of the Red Cross and allied organizations for war work. The lessons given and the work done in remodeling and renovating hats and garments, have not only lessened the expenses of the pupils for this year, but have inculcated in them habits of thrift. The course in cook- ing has taught the conservation of food, and the proper use of substitutes; and the nursing, the conservation of life. The school co-operated with the Child Welfare Committee by giving the assist- ance of its girls for work during Child Welfare Week. The first epidemic of influenza came so early in the school year that the entering classes had no knowledge of how to care for the sick, but the older girls were able to do good service among their own sick and in the families of friends. When they were not called upon to actually care for the sick, many were of use doing the work, or caring for the children in the house.
In June the first class, numbering nine, received their gradu- ation diplomas from the school. Each graduate wore a white dimity dress designed and made by herself, after a class discus- sion which included a trip to several of the Boston stores, where arrangements had been made for a display of their best designs. An exhibition of the work of the school was held on the night of graduation. Many people realized for the first time just what the school was accomplishing. As a result the number
23
applying for admission to the school was greater than could work comfortably in the present building.
As in the previous year, many of the first-year girls did not return after the summer vacation, the opportunities for earning money being even more frequent and alluring than ever before. This allowed us to admit twenty-four new girls, all but three of whom are still in attendance. The number which we can accept the first of February must be limited to ten.
Home project work is still being done wherever possible, although the supervision of the work is constantly becoming more difficult on account of the poorer car service. As its own numbers increased, the school has been forced to discontinue the taking of orders for outside cooking on account of the limited kitchen facilities. In some way this must be remedied if we are to give the pupils the advantage of cooking in family quantities. We are still carrying on the serving of the noon meal for the out- side teachers, but even this does not give opportunity for the larger number of classes to work under the right conditions.
We regret losing from our teaching corps, Miss Amy Campbell and Miss Harriet McLucas, but consider ourselves fortunate in being able to secure Miss Miriam Chapman and Miss Ada Winchenbaugh for the places left vacant.
We have appreciated the helpful advice and co-operation of our Superintendent, Committee and Advisory Committee on Industrial Education for Women, and each year strive to reward this interest by showing a better school.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH M. DOUGLAS.
