ARITHMETIC.


There is no subject in the curriculum on which so much time and energy is spent as that of arithmetic. Eight years with daily recitations are given to the pursuit of this subject with results entirely incommensurate to the force applied. There seems to be two kinds of arithmetic, mental and detrimental, with latter far in the lead.


This year the teachers have been trying to perfect the pupils in the mechanics of the subject. That is to teach them to add, multiply and divide accurately and rapidly. They are omitting the non-essentials and fitting the subjects taught to the business of daily life.


Much valuable time is wasted because the pupils are not proficient in the four fundamental operations and they become discouraged and lose confidence in their ability to perform ordin- ary examples. Is it not time that this subject should be shorn of its "morbid excrescences ?"


ENGLISH.


While spelling and arithmetic have received special attention the teaching of English has not been neglected. To speak cor-


7


Town of Wayland.


rectly and to express thought in terse idiomatic language, both oral and written, and to gain an intimate acquaintance with the best authors, has received careful attention.


This subject demands and should receive persistent and hearty effort by both teachers and pupils. Commendable pro- gress has been made in other branches.


MANUAL TRAINING.


That the Commonwealth recognizes the value of manual training is shown by the fact that in 1898 the following law was enacted. Revised Laws, Chapter 42, Section 9:


"Every city and town containing twenty thousand inhab- itants or more shall maintain the teaching of manual training as a part of both its elementary and its high school systems."


Essentially this says that there are other means than books for developing the mind. While Wayland cannot introduce a complete system of manual training there are many things along this line that could be done which would be of benefit.


A visit to any of the Manual Training schools in Boston and vicinity would prove profitable. It is not the province of this report to discuss this subject but to suggest that it is worth in- vestigating.


TEACHERS.


There has been but two changes in the corps of teachers. Miss Helen L. McGann, who taught the third and fourth grades in Cochituate, was obliged to resign on account of ill health. Her going was a distinct loss, for she is a teacher of rare ability. Miss Ethel Crowe taught these grades for the remainder of the year and did good work. Miss Bertha Perkins. teacher of Eng- lish and modern languages in the High School, resigned to ac- cept a position in Southbridge. It was with regret that her resig- nation was accepted, for she did excellent work.


Drawing under the direction of Miss Stickney and music under the charge of Miss Boland have shown marked progress.


8


Superintendent of Schools.


That the schools have advanced during the past year is due to the efficient work done by the faithful and progressive teachers who have had charge of our schools.


UNION MEETINGS.


Soon after beginning work in this superintendency district it seemed to me that the work of the schools should be unified; that there should be uniform text books and the same course of study for all; that there should be conferences of teachers from the different towns, also of the committees, and that both should have a chance to meet the members of the State Board or its representatives and so give the State a chance to know the teachers of this district.


After consulting with the secretary of the State Board of Education and the committees of the several towns, it was decided to have three union meetings a year, one in the fall in Dover, one in the winter in Wayland, and one in the spring in Sudbury, and that the State should be represented at each meeting.


The first one was held the last week in September, 1904, in Dover, and like all subsequent ones was a thoroughly enjoyable and successful meeting.


The following is an outline of what was done: Exercises began at 9:45 a. m. with Mr. Richard H. Bond, Chairman of the Dover Committee, in the chair. Devotional exercises were con- ducted by Mr. F. F. Walker, Chairman of the Sudbury Commit- tee. At ten o'clock Mr. George H. Martin, Secretary of the State Board of Education, gave a talk on "Ideals." At eleven the joint committee held a conference with Mr. Martin and the teachers held conferences. Adjourned at twelve o'clock for lunch.


Convened at 1 :45, at which time Miss Lillian A. Ordway, of the Framingham Normal School, gave a talk on "Geography as a Background for History." Adjourned at three o'clock. This is typical of the programs of the meetings held since.


In furtherance of the plan of unification all the schools in


9


Town of Wayland.


the district have the same course of study and uniform text books in arithmetic, geography, history, penmanship, music and in language in the upper grammar grades.


It is the opinion of both teachers and committees that these meetings have been beneficial.


I wish to thank the teachers and the committee for the heartiness with which they have aided me in my work.


Respectfully submitted,


JOSEPH T. CORLEW, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.


Mr. J. T. Corlew, Superintendent of Schools :-


I wish to submit my report of the music for the town of Wayland.


A plan of the year's work was given to the teachers of the first three grades. This plan requires the use of the "Normal Course," "Book II." This book is used in the second and third grades. "The Natural Music Readers" are still used in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades. New outlines are given every month to teachers using these books.


In the eighth and ninth grades the "Cecilian Series, Book III," is used. This book proves very satisfactory in these grades. Individual work has received much attention in all grades dur- ing the year. Slips are given to each pupil. These slips contain an exercise in music and the pupil is required to know the tech- nical part and sing the exercise. These exercises may be in two parts. This requires each child not only to read his part, but also to get his tones correct, thus giving him good practice in ear training. This individual work has so improved the music that we found the classes at the beginning of this term to be four months in advance of what they were last year.


The study of the cantata,"The Village Blacksmith," is being taken up in the High School with very gratifying results. The chorus is accompanied by Master Lyons on the violin and Master Dowey on the violoncello, thus increasing the interest and pleasure of the pupils.


Respectfully submitted,


AGNES E. BOLAND, Supervisor.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.


Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Joseph T. Corlew :-


The general plan of the work in drawing is the same as that of the year previous, slight changes being made to adapt the work to the different rooms of the same grade. It has been the endeavor to have the work in drawing a part of the regular school course and not a subject isolated by itself. In this way only, in the correlation of subjects, will children profit by what they learn.


In comparing results from day to day the progress seems slow but comparing this present year's work in drawing with that of two years ago a decided advancement can be seen. A phase of the work which needs strengthening is the object draw- ing ; by persistent efforts it is hoped to raise the present standard of this phase. The representative drawing of which object work is a part, is a subject which pupils will need and make use of when they leave school life.


There is hardly a person who does not desire the ability to be able to represent, when talking, some specific point to be wrought out, be this in placing of a tree in a yard, the shape of a desired flower bed, the size of a new piece of stove pipe in which the per- son is in need; not essentially a drawing accurate in execution, not a drawing accurate in idea. It is only by persistent and con- cientious work on this phase that the desired ability to represent what one sees can be brought about.


A phase directly opposite from this object drawing, and


12


Supervisor of Drawing.


which is used as much by the general public, is the mechanical drawing, this giving the facts of things as they really are. To be able to represent quickly and accurately, to understand what is meant by different views of objects, and above all to be able to read intelligently a working drawing, is the aim of this work in mechanical drawing. This phase will be studied in the early spring, the work being greatly facilitated by the use of drawing kits which have been generously supplied by the committee. Though by slow steps it may seem that pupils are being trained in a mechanical way, it is believed that through these methods pupils are unconsciously learning to appreciate beauty of nature and manufactured material.


The work in the High School is truly encouraging, the two classes in free-hand drawing having increased four times the number enrolled the previous year. Consequently there is more enthusiasm and better work obtained. Conscientious work is being done by the pupils of the mechanical division, an interest being shown in the course arranged for the year. This is always producive of good results.


The periods are so arranged that each class has a separate period; this greatly simplifies the work and gives a better oppor- tunity for individual instruction. What improvement has been made in the work in drawing is due to the united efforts of the teachers and the support of the superintendent and committee.


Respectfully submitted,


MARY J. STICKNEY, Supervisor of Drawing.
