In this case the parent appears to be at fault.
A pupil is detained at home because of sickness in the family; the sickness continues through several weeks and the service rendered by the pupil is such as to save the family considerable expense. During this time the pupil lays aside all school duties, and on returning to school finds that he is almost hopelessly behind in the work of his class.
This case is one which demands careful consideration be- fore passing judgment upon it. Broadly speaking, the loss to the pupil is more than the gain to the family. In many such cases it would be possible to allow the pupil to attend school for a portion of the time and thus avoid that total interrup- tion of school duties which may prove fatal to his course.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH.
An aching tooth causes a girl to lose eight half days during a month. She regularly brings excuses from home stating the reason for the absence. The teacher finally induces her to go to a dentist and the trouble is over.
This is a very common case. In no instance should a tooth- ache cause interruption of one's duties. A good dentist can stop any toothache in a few minutes and parents ought to know that an aching tooth demands immediate attention.
A pupil is required to go on an errand, and presents an excuse taking him out of school dur- ing one of his recitation periods.
This excuse is usually presented for the last period of the school day. In most cases the errand could be attended to after school.
We all know the pupil who morning after morning comes lagging to school from ten minutes to an hour late, and we think that there is something lacking in the home. Every school has also its quota of pupils who appear to court sickness, and to derive positive pleasure from being on the sick list; but in far too many cases these very pupils are able to attend parties and to do other pleasant things which sick people could hardly be expected to do. Right here there comes in a vast amount of deception, of shamming and of mis- statement, to say nothing of the bad habit of shirking.
High school pupils ought to be encouraged to regard their duties in somewhat the same light as that in which our work- ers regard their various remunerative occupations. School hours ought to be free from interruption, and school duties
108
SEVENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.
ought to be held by parents in such estimation that only ab- solute necessity would induce them to sanction any absence on the part of pupils under their charge.
The following is a copy of that portion of the will of the late Seth Turner, Esq., which relates to the "Turner Medals:"
"I give to the Trustees of the Stetson High School Fund of Randolph the sum of one thous- and dollars to be invested and the income applied in such manner as they please in the bestowal of medals or diplomas to such graduating pupils as may be most meritorious in scholarship, attend- ance and deportment, the said trustees to make such regulations as they please preparatory to the execution of this duty."
It is evident that the terms of the gift allow the Trustees of Stetson High School great latitude in the execution of the trust. It is expressly stated that they are to make such regulations as they please. The Trustees in office at the time the fund became available determined upon medals as their choice, the first medals being awarded in 1885. The medals were designed by Harriott of Boston, who has since manu- factured them for the Trustees; two have been awarded each year, the total number of graduates who have received them being forty-four.
At the beginning of the school year, in September, the average of the ages of our senior class was 16 years, 5 days ; the average in the junior class was 15 years, 7 9-17 months ; the ages of the two other classes averaged, respectively, 14 years, 6 25-27 months, and 14 years, 16-39 of a month. The average for the whole school was a little over 14 years, 8 months. Our youngest pupil, who has been with us a year,
109
TOWN OF RANDOLPHI.
was II years, 10 months of age. These figures show that our pupils begin their course in the high school at a very early age; comparison with the statistics of other high schools indicate that many other towns insist upon a higher age requirement as a condition of entrance to the high school.
Our instruction in stenography now extends through the last three years of the course, with five recitations per week, averaging about forty minutes each. This course ought to fit pupils who complete it to take the average office position. In case our graduates wish to continue the work in short hand further, the Chandler Normal Shorthand School of Boston is open to them. This school is well known and its pupils are so much in demand that they are usually called to fill good po- sitions before actually completing the course.
The opportunity to combine a general high school course with that feature of a business education which is today re- ceiving so great attention in our business colleges, so called, is one which is certain to bring our high schools into larger favor with the public. It is doubtful whether any subject could be introduced which would commend itself so much to parents as does stenography. What manual training has done in our city schools to interest boys in their high school work is largely paralleled by the results in stenography with the girls. The Chandler System is admirably adapted for high school purposes. It is a logical system, in which one part is so rela- ted to every other part that there is a minimum of the merely arbitrary; in following the Chandler course the pupil has nothing to unlearn, and his memory is very largely reinforced by his reasoning powers; the system is remarkable for its simplicity and its universal adaptability. It is an extremely rapid system, and its author claims that no other system now in use can surpass it in this regard. One of the good features
IIO
SEVENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.
of the Chandler system is its legibility, one Chandler writer being able to read the notes of another with great readiness. These good qualities of the system have commended it to bus- iness men who thus far have eagerly sought Chandler school graduates. Naturally the business colleges view with concern the introduction of stenography into our public schools and they attack particularly the Chandler System of shorthand. It is not infrequently the case that pupils who have begun a sys- tem of shorthand are induced to think that they have selected the wrong method. This ought not to be the case with Chand- ler students, for, from every standpoint, the system is admir- able and seems adapted to become the only system taught in our public schools. In any event parents may have the as- surance that the Chandler system was devised especially for high school pupils, and that it has more than fulfilled all the expectations of its practical application to school and business purposes.
The class of 1906 on the occasion of their graduation gave to the school two large busts, one of Longfellow and the other of Shakespeare, each accompanied by an appropriate bracket ; the busts bear the name of the class, in green, the class color.
Miss Carolyn T. Sewall, a member of the class of 1906, took the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June, and was able to pass in every subject ; in one test, that in ge- ometry, she obtained a rank of 100. This examination admit- ted her to Mount Holoyke College.
In conclusion, the teachers of Stetson High School wish to thank you for your thoughtful and ready assistance during the past year.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
January 15, 1907.
DR. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir :- In the work of drawing in the schools, I am try- ing to give exercises that may be useful as well as interesting. I am trying to create an appreciation of simple things in pref- erence to elaborate things. I wish pupils to learn that simple work well done is better than more difficult work poorly done, and that if the first trial is not a success, the second trial may be successful.
In the fall we drew from flowers and fruits in both color and pencil, using colored crayons in the lower grades and water color in the higher grades. Later in the fall, we did some mechanical drawing and constructive work. At Thanks- giving, some covers were made for stories written about Thanksgiving, and some were very well made. Before Christ- mas we made book-marks and doilies in the lower grades, and in the upper grades we made candle shades, match safes, cards for sand-paper to use for lighting matches, and in one room candy boxes were made. In one class several paper cutters were made from wood and the handles were decorated. As we go on we shall do more free-hand drawing from objects and nature, as well as more work in design, both constructive and decorative, with good color combinations.
The work in the high school is in general along the same lines as that done in the grades, but in a more advanced plan and condition.
Very truly yours,
CLARA L. HARLOW, Supervisor of Drawing.

RANDOLPH, January 12, 1907.
Prof. JOHN E. BRADLEY, Superintendent :
Dear Sir :- During the year 1906, I have been called upon in twenty cases of absence from school. mostly during the first half of the year, but during the last half there has been a marked improvement and everything at the present time seems to be very satisfactory.
Very truly yours, NELSON MANN, Truant Officer.
RANDOLPH, January 19. 1907.
Prof. JOHN E. BRADLEY :
Dear Sir :- The past year I have been called upon to inves- tigate twelve cases of absentees from school; most of them were for truancy, and after threatening to bring them to court it had a desired effect of making them attend school regularly, also others that were inclined to play truant.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK J. DONAHOE, Truant Officer.

APPARATUS.
The equipment of the department is as follows: One steamer, one hose wagon, one hose reel (horse), one hose reel (hand), one ladder truck with full complement of ladders, one chemical engine and about 2.500 feet of hose. There are extra ladders in the West street house and the house on North Main street.
The hose wagon, ladder truck and ladders, also hose reel No. 2, have been in the paint shop and have received some paint, and all three have been varnished and are now in very good condition. The expense of the work was $85.00.
HOUSES.
The houses of the department have received some atten- tion in the matter of repairs. The house of the Central Station has had one side of the roof shingled at an expense of $32.68; the other side was repaired, some small windows were placed in the front doors for more light and ventilation, the outside of the building has received two coats of paint at an expense of $40.00, and the hall in the second story cleaned and painted at an expense of $25.00.
The house of Hose 2, North Main street, has also received two coats of paint at an expense of $50.00 The roof of this house will need repairs in the near future and especially the chimney ought to be taken down to the ceiling of the second story and rebuilt straight up through the roof.
The house on West street has had the ceiling of the hall re- plastered, as a portion of it had been off a long time. It was discovered that the chimney in this house was in a dangerous condition, the bricks in that part of the chimney that was built twelve inches in diameter ; the chimney was taken down and

on an angle had crumbled so that a hole had been made ten or built straight up through the roof. It is not necessary to ex- plain perhaps to any person owning or living in a building with a chimney built on an angle or crooked what the result is -the roof of this house will need attention soon. This house received one coat of paint at an expense of $30.00.
