REPORT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
GENTLEMEN: - I herewith submit the annual report of Woodward Institute.
In June two teachers resigned to accept positions elsewhere with a sub- stantial increase in salary. Miss Arline H. Pike of Saugus, Mass., a graduate of Bates College, was engaged for the science department, and Miss Elizabeth H. Baker of Farmington, Me., a graduate of Brown University, for the history department.
In April Mr. Allan W. Walker resigned after having served for twelve years as engineer and janitor. Mr. Harry P. Johnstone was chosen to fill the vacancy.
Woodward Institute occupies a distinct place in the educational facili- ties of the city and at no cost whatever to the taxpayers. If the pupils who attend this school were enrolled in the High School, the cost of maintain- ing the High School would be increased at least $15,000 dollars annually.
There are many parents who prefer to have their daughters attend a school maintained exclusively for girls. They realize that in many im- portant respects both girls and boys will be likely to do better and more work when apart, especially during the high school age.
The enrollment at the present time is larger than it has been for some years, owing to the fact that an unusually small class was graduated in June and a class of the usual size entered in September. The school is now as large as the building can comfortably accommodate, and the present teaching force can properly care for.
Every effort is being put forth to keep the standard of scholarship as high as possible. It requires constant pressure to persuade pupils that an education cannot be obtained, except by hard and continuous work; that something cannot be had for nothing; that they are not attending school for the sake of amusement or to pass away the time; and that they owe it to their parents and to themselves to make the best use of the privileges afforded them through self-denial on the part of others.
The annual prize given by the Alumnæ Association for the best essay written upon an assigned subject by a member of the senior class was awarded to Constance F. Stecher, now a student at Boston University.
The graduating class left in the hands of the principal the sum of $30 with which to purchase a parting gift to the school.
Respectfully submitted,
HORACE W. RICE.

REPORT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
Department of English
LITERATURE
The first two years of the course in literature are spent in reading care- fully as many of the best English classics as the time will allow. There are three distinct aims in the course: (1) to teach the students to read in- telligently and enjoyably; (2) to develop in them a taste for good litera- ture; (3) to lay a broad foundation for the subsequent study and appre- ciation of the books selected for the third and fourth years. An outline history of English literature, supplemented by a study of the English poets, completes the four years' course.
GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION
The course in grammar deals with the simple essentials of the English language; the parts of speech, the construction of sentences, and the laws of syntax. Grammatical accuracy is demanded in all work.
The work in composition is correlated with the course in literature- narration, description, exposition, and argumentation, each being taken in turn. The course is designed to aid pupils in expressing themselves clearly and logically in oral as well as in written form. They are urged to write from their own experience, to write often, and to acquire the habit of using simple, correct, idiomatic English. During the fourth year, formal argument is studied, together with preparation and practice in debating.

REPORT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
Department of Art
The study of art must necessarily be considered as 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 re- quirements.
Pupils are not only fitted for continuing their studies in advanced 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 of color in waters and in oil.
Modeling and casting.
Mechanical drawing.

CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Quincy.
The School Committee wishes to present herewith its annual report for the year 1922.
As usual, the most urgent question for consideration has been adequate accommodations for the pupils. In September last there were enrolled 9,539 pupils - an increase of five hundred and thirty-three over the en- rollment of the previous year, or about 6 per cent, which has been found to be about the normal annual increase. This increase, if housed in one building, would fill thirteen rooms.
To take care of this additional number of pupils it has been found neces- sary to provide portable school buildings in different sections of the city. A one-room building has been placed at the Atherton Hough School and a two-room building at the new location at Adams Shore. There are now. in process of construction, buildings at the Coddington, Wollaston and Massachusetts Fields Schools - making, with those already in use, nine such buildings throughout the city. These, while not as satisfactory as permanent buildings, yet, serve a useful purpose in housing the pupils.
A constructive building program extending over ten years has been worked out and it is hoped it may soon be put into operation. Steps have already been taken toward permanent enlargement of the Massachusetts Fields School, where the congestion is most acute.
