part of parents and citizens of the city. Many instances of this could be cited if there were time and space. I should always mention, also, the kindly co-operation and support of the School Committee and yourself. Lacking this, our work would be without successful results.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST L. COLLINS, Head Master.
In concluding this annual report on the condition of our city schools, I cannot make too emphatic the statement that our greatest need at the present time is that of adequate accommo- dations. The rapid growth of the city, bringing children to us in larger numbers than we can properly accommodate, has caused us to continue putting off many essential projects which we ought to be undertaking and of whose need the Committee is well aware. I am confident, however, that the city will move in this matter as promptly and generously as in the past so that we may amply satisfy the varying needs of all types of children for whose educa- tion we are responsible, no matter how diverse those needs may be.
I wish to express to the Committee my appreciation of their hearty co-operation and support in the work of the year and to bear witness again to the faithful devotion of the teaching corps to the great task in hand.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT L. BARBOUR.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT ON THE STATE- AIDED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
The various vocational schools and classes have had a successful year in every respect.
The attendance at the Industrial Day School remains fairly constant and does not show the increase which should be expected in these times for the particular type of instruction which the school offers. To some extent it is possible that this is due to the some- what dingy quarters in which the school is held and its rather limited equipment.
The United States Government has recently through the passage of the Caldwell Bill given permission to public industrial schools to purchase machines from the many government munition factories now being dismantled at 15% of the cost price and it is probable that we shall be able to increase our machine equipment by this means as machines become available.
As in previous years there have been several changes in the teaching corps and the tenure of office among industrial school teachers is apparently even shorter than in the common schools.
The Home Making School has had a most successful year and the demand for admission seems to increase annually as the aim of the school and the quality of the instruction becomes better known.
In the new High School addition which is under consideration provision will be made to accommodate this school as a separate unit and without question the attendance will immediately multiply.
It is unfortunate that so many parents and citizens in general still feel that schools of the type of the Industrial and the Home Making School are specially intended for children less mentally gifted than those who attend the High School. Nothing can be farther from the truth. In each of these two schools the same degree of mental alertness is required for efficient work as in the High School.
26
The evening trade classes for men were held from January through April and again from October through December.
The lines of trade served by these classes and the attendance vary annually with the industrial demand.
As the shipbuilding industry was not so busy at the close of the year as in previous years, there was a marked decrease in attendance.
The practical arts classes for women have more than doubled in number this year, a condition by the way which has been true throughout the state.
At the close of December there are seven classes in dressmaking, one in cooking and two in millinery in operation, with others in process of formation.
An attempt to organize classes in home-nursing proved un- successful though they would prove of undoubted worth. Possibly classes of this type would have a broader appeal if organized and advertised on a project basis, with short intensive unit courses.
In connection with this report reference should be made to items appearing in the financial report designated as Smith-Hughes receipts and expenditures.
They are so called from the Smith-Hughes Bill passed by the National Congress appropriating to the several states funds to be used for the extension of vocational training in the towns and cities. The fund allotted to Massachusetts is apportioned among those communities engaged in this work in proportion to their expendi- tures and can only be used by the communities receiving a share for the increase of teachers' salaries or the development of new work.
In accordance with that basis of apportionment, the amount received by Quincy for the Day Industrial classes was used for the increase of teachers' salaries, while that received for evening classes was expended for new or enlarged lines of work.
The reports of the Industrial and Home Making Schools are appended.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT L. BARBOUR.

QUINCY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
MR. ALBERT L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith submit the eighth annual report of the Quincy Industrial School.
We started the year with an enrollment of ninety-three since which time, thirty-four pupils have been added and seventy-five have left making our enrollment at the close of the year fifty-two; but a large percent of the pupils who left did so during the last few weeks of the year giving us an average enrollment of eighty-two.
Distribution of pupils :
Machine Department, 35
Woodworking Department, 33
Electrical Department, 24
Sheet Metal and Plumbing Department, 35
Total, 127
Owing to the apparent necessity of obtaining work for the summer vacation there was a pronounced tendency among the boys during the last few weeks of school to take the first job that was offered them and not wait for the close of the term.
We have endeavored to keep the boys till the close of the year and then place them in jobs in line with the courses they were taking. While we have met with quite a degree of success our chief difficulty has been lack of age in the boys. There is also a tendency among the employers to keep a good boy rather than to encourage him to return to school.
We feel that we are establishing a good feeling and a fair mea- sure of co-operation with industries of the city.
During the school year we completed jobs for the various schools of the city to the value of $2270.62, and received in cash from outside parties $391.08; to this must be added the price of seven desks and seven tables made for the new school at Squantum for which we are to receive $315.00 making cash receipts of $706.08.
28
More room and a large addition to the equipment of the Ma- chine Department is of vital importance to the best success of the school.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIJAH P. BARROWS, Principal.
HOME MAKING SCHOOL
MR. ALBERT L. BARBOUR,
Superintendent of Schools:
As we come to the close of another year it gives me pleasure to submit the report of what has been a happy and prosperous period for the Home Making School.
Our average membership has been thirty. Comparatively few have left school during the school year and their places have been promptly filled. A class of six entered in February.
The graduating class of 1919 numbered nine. Four of the members entered High School in September, one is now training in a children's hospital, another took up millinery, one works in her father's store, and one in an optician's office; one only remains at home, where her training aids her in making herself useful to those who need her help.
The present school year opened auspiciously with a very promising entering class of seventeen members. Fifteen of the best workers from last year's entering classes returned, making a membership of thirty-two, as large a number as can be accommo- dated.
Both the students and her fellow teachers regretted exceedingly to find that Miss Ethel Carr had been unable to return. Miss Carr has taught cooking in the school since its establishment, and her work was successful in a very high degree. We count our- selves fortunate in securing so able a successor in Miss Ellen Walls of Brockton.
The co-operation between the teachers and the spirit of com-
20
radeship between the students do much towards making the school a success.
We shall be unable to receive a February class next year on account of the lack of room to accommodate them. We confi- dently look forward to the time when we shall have more convenient quarters and be able to open our doors to more pupils.
A sale of the work of the sewing and millinery classes was held before Christmas this year. It was a success in a financial way, and also gave more people an opportunity to become better ac- quainted with the work of the Home Making School.
I wish to take this opportunity of thanking all who have been interested in us and who have done so much to help us in many ways during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
ELIZABETH M. DOUGLAS, Principal.
