That all reasonable means should be used to furnish the teachers every facility for increasing their efficiency and making their work effective is not a debatable question but a statement that you all be- lieve to be a true one.
A means which will probably not occur again in a generation will be at hand this summer at the St. Louis Exposition.
Among the many things of special interest to teachers will be the

five acres of work done by pupils in all parts of our land and also by pupils in other lands.
There will be a chance to gain more in a few days than can be accomplished by months of travel and " visiting."
Persons will be in attendance to explain the work and give to vis- itors every opportunity to carefully examine the exhibits.
It would be a pity to let such a chance pass without taking ad- vantage of it.
The following plan is proposed, viz. : that a teacher from our school be chosen by the committee to visit the Exposition at the town's expense, and when the fall term opens to give our teachers the benefit of what has been learned during the visit.
If it does not seem best to bear the whole expense a teacher might be selected by the committee of the Union District of Wayland, Sudbury and Dover and the expense be borne by the three towns.
It is to be hoped that these plans will be considered.
VIII.
Embodied in this report will be found the drawings of the pupils who were successful in the drawing contest.
There is no more important branch of study in the curriculum than drawing ; besides being the best means of observation it is al- most a " third hand."
The names of the successful ones will be found in Miss Stickney's report, and also the name of the person who made the final examina- tion and selected the best ones.
The excellent work done by Miss Stickney is too well known to , need any commendation from me.
IX.
In the Cochituate School there is not a teacher who taught there last year, and in one room there has been three teachers since school began in September. In the Wayland School there are but four of last year's teachers.
Everyone knows the effect upon the schools of this constant change of teachers.
14
Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
Good teachers can be kept by paying them as much as they can get elsewhere and good teachers are worth just as much to our schools as they are to schools in other towns, and our children are just as deserving of first-class instruction as are those of other places.
It is only by the employment and retention of competent teachers that our schools can rank with the best in the state, for our children are " just as smart " as those in any part of the Commonwealth. " The best is none too good for us." Shall we have it?
There is no grander or more important work than the educating of our boys and girls for intelligent, honest citizenship, but to do this we must have the best teachers.
CONCLUSION.
It is my pleasant duty to extend to the teachers my hearty thanks for their painstaking work and for the manner in which they have seconded every effort to benefit the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
RUFUS E. CORLEW, Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :--
I herewith submit the following as my report of the music in the public schools of Wayland.
The Natural Music Charts and Readers which were used with so much success last year have been used with just as satisfactory results this year. The same general plan of work which was adopted when the new books were introduced has been followed this year.
The exercises and songs in these books are selected from the works of the very best composers, so they tend to make the pupils familiar with good music and cultivate in them a taste for that which is good.
In the High School the music has been conducted in a different way from previous years. The school sings only in the hour that I am there each week. Instead of exercises and songs from the books which have been used there so long, selections have been made from the new book called " Folk Songs and Part Songs." In addition to these, several songs by famous composers have been studied. After these songs have been studied for a few weeks, a program is arranged for some morning. In addition to the songs by the school on these occasions there have been used vocal and instrumental solos by the same composer. Aside from these there is read by one of the pupils a brief sketch of the life of the musician.
The first program of this kind was given in November when two of the songs sung by the school were Scotch songs, the words of which were written by Robert Burns. Miss Carter read a sketch of his life. The rest of the hour was devoted to the works of Men-

delssohn. The school sang several choruses and Miss Edith Thayer read a paper which she had prepared, containing an inter- esting account of his life ; she also played the Mendelssohn "Wed- ding March." Miss Mabel Small played one of Mendelssohn's "Songs without Words," and I sang a selection from Mendelssohn's oratorio of Elijah. The next program was given the last day of the fall term, December 18. At this time Charles Gounod was the composer considered. The school sang several of his compositions and Frank McKenna read a sketch of his life which he had pre- pared. Miss Pearle Chaffee played the " Soldiers' Chorus," from " Faust," and Miss Elizabeth Poole sang "The Light from Heaven," with violin obligato, which was played by Joseph Lyons.
It is the plan to have several programs like these during the year, each time time taking the works of some special composer. In this way the pupil will become familiar with the lives and works of the best musicians.
I wish to express to the teachers my appreciation of the work they have done, and I thank the committee for their generosity in purchasing the music for the High School which has made the work so much more interesting there. I also wish to thank the Superin- tendent for his kindly interest and ready support in the work.
Respectfully submitted,
ELLEN HOWE BARTLETT,
Supervisor.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
MR. RUFUS E. CORLEW :
MY DEAR SIR :- Much has been said on the subject of art train- ing in the public schools, and parents are beginning to realize the - benefits children derive from this training. The aim is not to make artists of the boys and girls but to cultivate good taste. By re- peated efforts the child is learning to appreciate the work of others as well as developing his imagination and training his hand and eye.
It is preparing him to go out into the world with a broader, fuller mind, to be able not only to help himself but to aid others.
The country becomes what the people make it, then it depends upon these very people to influence the child in gaining " a good and generous soul, a free mind open to all large thought."
The work in drawing planned for the fall term of the year in- cluded nature drawing and color, that is drawing from plant and vegetable life, landscape composition and the study of color found in nature.
Object drawing, pose drawing and illustrated composition com- prised the mid-winter work. In the early spring the mechanical work, together with the study of the different styles of architecture will be studied to prepare for the constructive and decorative work. Every subject taught during the year's work is closely related to the subjects, construction and decoration.
Where possible purely creative work has been introduced, by that is meant the designing and making of things appropriate for the seasons and holidays as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, etc.
I would like to mention here the basket weaving class which has been formed in Cochituate. It is small in number, including but a few of the older pupils. Their work, which is done outside of school hours, is designed and worked out by themselves. I believe

Report of the Supervisor of Drawing.
that this raffia and reed work could be introduced to advantage in the schoolroom.
In the High School the work in the mechanical drawing division has consisted of simple geometric problems, working drawings of type forms and problems which involved the subject of projection.
In the free-hand class the course has included sketching in water color, pencil and pen and ink from nature and still life composi- tion. The subject of design will be studied in the spring, together with the nature work. Better results could be obtained if more time was given for the drawing period. I would recommend that one whole hour a week, if not more time, be devoted to the work in drawing in the High School.
The ten drawings reproduced in the report give some idea of the work carried on in the schools during the fall and winter term. Mrs. C. F. Campbell, Boston, former instructor at the Massachu- setts Normal Art School, kindly consented to select the drawings. The aim was to choose those drawings which best represented the different phases of work and which would be most satisfactory when reproduced.
The names of the pupils whose drawings were chosen are as follows :-
Grade 1. Arthur Dudley, Wayland.
Grade 2. Isabelle Tracy, Wayland.
Grade 3. Lillian Colorier, Cochituate.
Grade 4. Hilda Reeves, Wayland.
Grade 5. Lucy Gladu, Cochituate.
Grade 6. Wilbur Gorman, Cochituate.
Grade 7. Isabel Mahoney, Wayland.
Grade 8.
Francis Ames, Cochituate.
Grade 9. James O'Brien, Wayland.
First year in High School. Martha Bent, Cochituate.
In conclusion I desire to express my thanks to the Superintendent, the School Board and the teachers for their co-operation during my term as Supervisor of Drawing.

MARY J. STICKNEY.

*The above account shows an apparent balance of four hundred and fifty dollars. The books of the Town Treasurer will probably show that this amount was paid by him to Mr. Rufus E. Corlew. I refused to pay it to him because I questioned the legality of doing so.
