REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF STETSON HIGH SCHOOL.
RANDOLPH, Mass., Jan. 29, 1904.
Superintendent John E. Bradley :
Dear Sir,- During the past year our school work has gone forward quietly, and, we think, thoroughly. There seems to be nothing of unusual interest to report, either of success or failure. School problems may change in their incidents, but the underlying principles are constant ; the solution of these problems is by no means an easy matter. In fact there may be no absolute answer to many of the diffi- culties which confront the teacher. The larger human ele- ment in the equation demands, on the part of teachers, qualities which we may well despair of finding in any one individual.
Stenography and typewriting have been introduced this year. Miss Margaret L. Powers, of Quincy, who teaches these subjects in the high schools of Bridgewater and Avon, has met the members of the senior and junior classes on Wednesday and Friday mornings, giving one period of forty minutes to each of the two divisions. Two new machines, one a Remington and the other a Smith-Premier, have been used. It is too early as yet to affirm just what progress has been made. Nearly every member of the two upper classes elected the subject, and great interest has been shown. We are confident that Miss Powers has done all that was possible for any teacher to do, and that the pupils have responded to the extent of their time and ability. Perhaps it would be asking too much to expect high school pupils, in one year, while carrying their full quota of other school work, to become proficient stenographers. The enlargement of our course by this addition of business subjects is highly com-
91
mendable, and cannot fail to yield gratifying results in the immediate future. We have been somewhat annoyed by lack of suitable rooms for our pupils in stenography, but, on the whole, have found that our present quarters are such as to enable us to make a good beginning. Another machine ought to be added as soon as practicable.
Drawing was made elective in September; nearly one-half of the pupils elected to continue this subject, and the work, thus restricted to those who really wished to do it, has been eminently satisfactory. Miss Woodbury has met the two divisions in drawing on alternate Thursdays, for periods of forty minutes each. We are hoping to outline a course in mechanical drawing in the immediate future and to fully pre- pare pupils for the State Normal examinations in drawing. The point of view may change somewhat in the teaching of drawing, in passing from the grades to the secondary school, but all work attempted in the latter school should be based on a thorough knowledge of the principles of drawing devel- oped in the former. It is to be regretted that the teacher in this subject cannot meet the classes at least once each week. We ought, too, to have a room which is especially adapted to the needs of the drawing. At present, because the time of instruction is so limited, and because the teacher of draw- ing is obliged to use the main room, we are obliged to suspend, in a measure, our usual school work when drawing periods occur. This interruption would disappear if Miss Woodbury could meet the pupils for four instead of two periods on the days when she is present.
Instruction in music has been continued by Mr. George E. Crafts, of Milton. Mr. Crafts has been present on Wed- nesday afternoon during the first period, and has rendered uniformly efficient service. There is perhaps no other sub- ject which so relieves the routine work of the school, so interests every pupil, and, considering the effort required,
92
adds so much to his equipment for life, as the work in elementary music. We have been using codas published by Ginn & Co., and by the Oliver Ditson Company. At the opening of the winter term the trustees purchased one hun- dred copies of the Academy Song Book, abridged edition, containing nearly all the best patriotic and national songs, school and college songs, familiar songs and songs of devo- tion. We have been using this book with a great deal of interest, and, beyond doubt, the volume will be of inesti- mable value in the future. The creation of a musical atmos- phere in the home, in the community and in the State is no small or unimportant purpose. The boy or girl who can sing, with only average facility, has in store many an hour of happiness, both in his individual contribution to musical programmes and in his interpretation of the works of master musicians. A young man who can sing or play acceptably, has a universal passport to agreeable recognition wherever he may go. Randolph has shown more than its quota of musical talent in the past, and the pupils of her schools cer- tainly merit every advantage which the town can afford to bestow upon them in their study of elementary school music.
The class of 1903, on the occasion of their graduation, presented to the school a large photograph representing the departure of the "Mayflower " from Plymouth. This fitting gift they purchased from Mr. Horace K. Turner, of Boston, at a cost of thirty dollars.
The school has received a very handsome reference table costing fifty dollars ; this was purchased by the accumula- tions of a penny collection, supplemented by an appropria- tion by the trustees.
A beautiful Howard clock was bought by funds which have gradually accumulated from a small yearly surplus of the Turner Medal Fund; the clock cost forty-five dollars, and, besides being a very accurate timekeeper, is a most
93
acceptable ornament to our study room. It is inscribed : " Presented from the Turner Medal Fund, 1903."
The Ladies' Library Association have given the school a copy of the Declaration of Independence, framed in wood taken from Faneuil Hall. This gift has proved to be a very pleasing addition to our wall decorations, and is especially valued because of the unique significance of its frame. In this connection, mention might be made of a gift by the Ladies' Relief Corps several years ago. They gave the school the valuable photo-carbon lithograph of Stuart's Washington, which has been so highly prized by the school.
Two members of the class which was graduated in June, 1903, have taken up a normal course. Both of them passed the examinations of the State Board at Bridgewater; one of these graduates decided to try the examinations of the Boston Normal school and was again successful. Another member of the same class has entered Dartmouth and was evidently able to take up his work at that college in a satis- factory manner; Prof. C. F. Emerson, the dean of Dart- mouth, reports that he has been able to make the division of his class which ranks highest in mathematics, and that he is doing very good work in all the subjects which he is pur- suing.
The school library ought to be greatly enriched by the addition of much needed books of reference from time to time. At least three hundred of the most essential volumes of this class are demanded by a good school library. Such a collection would include several of the current cyclopedias, all the best English dictionaries, reference books in English literature, in the modern languages, in science, in sacred lit- erature, in history, and in art. These reference books are the only volumes which the public libraries cannot, under their present rules, lend for outside use, and they form the basis of a considerable portion of our work.
The proper use of a reference library, familiarity with the
94
indispensable aid it affords and the spirit of individual re- search, are fundamental in secondary schools. Unless the student accustoms himself, while in the fitting school, to the discipline of the best reference books, there is danger that he may never acquire facility in their use.
Why may not the town or city library lend to the school all the books needed for reference? This would necessitate the purchase of duplicate sets by the public library, since these particular books must be represented on its shelves. Would not such a field be a perfectly legitimate one for the library of any town? Would it not be certain to yield worthy results? Mr. Frank O. Carpenter, of the English High School, Boston, recently advocated this plan before the Massachusetts Library Club, claiming that only text books ought to be furnished by the school to its pupils, leaving the provision of all reference books to the public library.
If the Trustees of the Turner Public Library will permit the suggestion, we would like to suggest that the experiment be tried by them. Ten or twenty standard volumes of ref- erence, if lent to the school as a trial of this plan, would, we are confident, prove a very profitable investment from an educational standpoint.
In conclusion, the teachers of the high school have only words of praise for the efficient manner in which their work is aided by the trustees and by the Superintendent of Schools. A very liberal policy has been followed in the matter of school supplies and all of our suggestions have been met in a very fair spirit, evidently with the intention of giving us every needed facility which could be reasonably granted. Especially do the teachers desire to record a word of cordial appreciation of the assistance given them, as in the past, by the Superintendent of Schools.
Respectfully submitted,
F. E. CHAPIN.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
EAST MILTON, January 4, 1904.
Dr. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir, - In making an annual report upon the teaching of drawing in the public schools, one naturally looks back over the twelve months past, in search of two things : first, the improvement in methods already in use ; second, new features that may have been introduced.
First in importance is the question of improvement. The best test would be to place the work of two or more succes- sive years side by side. This we are unable to do at present, but as the results are carefully looked over from month to month, marked improvement can be seen in the thoroughness of the work.
In considering the second topic - new features - no radi- cally new methods have been introduced, but here and there slight modifications have been made of those already in use - such as are necessary to retain the interest and vitality.
More cutting has been done in the lower grades, which helps wonderfully in training the little hands; also more mechanical work in the upper grades.
97
The most vital question just now is what is the best thing for the high school work under the present conditions.
Since the pupils have had practically no drawing before entering the high school, it is a hard thing to give them such work as does not seem too elementary and too much like that done in the grades, and yet no advanced drawing can be done until the first principles are well established. My aim this year is to give them all that is possible in mechani- cal drawings - model drawing in charcoal and water color and applied design.
Drawing is now coming to be considered by both teachers and pupils as a regular study and in consequence is taught as thoroughly as other subjects. In this way the best results can be hoped for and in many cases have been realized. The good, steady, faithful work of the grade teachers is what has brought about the present hopeful conditions.
Very truly yours, KATHARINE WOODBURY, Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL TEACHER OF TYPEWRITING AND STENOGRAPHY.
Dr. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir,-So great has been the enthusiasm shown in stenography and typewriting during the past four months by the pupils that it has been a great pleasure teaching these subjects.
Stenography is entirely different from the studies which form the ordinary high school curriculum, requiring much more thought than most subjects, but it has been grasped ad- mirably ; and if the good work which has been done in the
98
past be continued in the future, I feel sure it will be a great success.
The end toward which we are working is to fit pupils for office positions as stenographers. We are now taking up the simple principles, which lead on to more difficult ones, to be followed by business letters and various other forms of work done in offices.
I take this opportunity to thank you and Mr. Chapin for the interest so plainly manifested in the work, which will add greatly to its success.
Respectfully submitted, MARGARET LOUISE POWERS, Teacher of Stenography and Typewriting.
REPORTS OF THE TRUANT OFFICERS.
RANDOLPH, January 26, 1904. Prof. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir,-During the year 1903 I have been called to investigate six cases of truancy, and in most of them have found that the fault was more of the parents than the child.
But, as a whole, I think there has been a marked improve- ment over former years, due in a great measure to a better understanding of the fact that those having children of school age under their charge are themselves accountable for the attendance of the child at school ; also whoever harbors any child of school age during the time school is in session is liable.
Very truly yours, NELSON MANN, Truant Officer.
99
RANDOLPH, January 1, 1904. To the Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir,-During the year 1903 I have been called upon to investigate the cases of eleven scholars.
I have also visited every factory, and do not find any chil- dren employed without a schooling certificate.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK J. DONAHOE, Truant Officer.
