The list is not complete because returns have not in some cases been made in answer to inquiries. If we were to include the graduates who have taken courses at higher institutions after leaving Stetson High the list would be

much longer. This would be only fair to the school because we ought to have a share of the credit if we have given the individuals three-fourths of their training.
We think that our preparation is stenography and type- writing is thorough. One of our graduates recently entered the employ of a Boston firm where she came directly under the notice of the head of the concern. The position was a very exacting one and the employer frankly stated that he thought it doubtful whether a high school graduate could fill his demands. The result showed that the young lady was able to hold the position which was a desirable one. On several occasions her employer has mentioned to the writer his satisfaction with the work of this graduate of Stetson High and has said that we do exceptionally good work in our business course.
The class of 1914 at its graduation presented to the school a direct carbon photo, 64 inches, by 37 inches, "Puritans Going to Church." The photo is taken from George H. Boughton's painting which hangs in the Lenox Gallery, New York. Nineteen Fourteen also gave to the school a Globe Wernicke sectional book-case, three sec- tions, a base and a top, five pieces in all. This book-case they placed in the school office. The sections have sliding glass doors, the upper door having leaded glass. A hand- some chair made of reed, upholstered seat and back, with "1914" worked into the upper part of the back was also presented to the school by 1914.
The class of 1918 soon after their arrival presented a bust of Augustus Caesar and the bracket to accompany the bust, which was placed in Room C. The several rooms in which the pupils sit have busts in them, with the excep- tion of Room D.
The general science courses advised by the state board
138
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
have not as yet been introduced because the trustees have not been able to meet the additional expense of the books.
One of the subjects earnestly advocated for high schools is "Community Civics." The pupils in this course among other subjects investigate road-building and study the roads of the town. They make estimates of the cost and wearing qualities of different kinds of roads found in the community, they discuss the water supply of the town with regard to its purity and abundance, they report on local social activities, they discuss street lighting and transportation facilities, etc. Mr. Snedden in a recent statement said that the community civics is the most important subject in the high school curriculum. We, of course, would have to purchase books for the pupils in case we adopt it, and the expense will probably forbid making the change at present.
It is frequently remarked that our pupils are younger and more immature than formerly, and that the pupils of other high schools surpass those of Stetson High in these respects. Careful consideration of this matter leads the writer to conclude that while the average age, weight and height may vary slightly from year to year, yet such varia- tion is slight.
Through the personal interest of Mr. Edmund K. Belcher, a member of the Board of Trustees, $34 was donated to the school by the "Randolph Associates," a society which has had no active existence during recent years. This money was used to purchase an Underwood typewriting machine. A letter of sincere appreciation was sent to Mr. Belcher and to the Randolph Associates.
Addresses have been given before the school at various times during the past year. Mr. Charles C. Whitcomb, principal of the Brockton High School, has been our guest, as also Superintendent Farley of Brockton. Mr. H. W.
139
SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
Porter of Boston, Mr. Myron C. Fisher of Roxbury, Mr. Joseph Belcher of Randolph and Mr. E. L. Currier of Bos- ton have appeared in the Assembly room. Our stenog- raphy pupils have listened to practical talks by Mr. G. H. Hoyt and Mr. R. M. Field, both of Boston.
Our penny collection fund has met with its usual success, a total of $67 having been raised for the year 1913-14. This year the total to date is $34.
The Senior class has issued a souvenir post card each year for several years past. The card contains the photos of the members of the class. This year the class pin appears in the center of the group.
Our Senior class were the guests of Mr. A. L. Wilbur at the Wilbur Theatre on Jan. 20. The party numbered thirty-three, and had a most enjoyable afternoon. Mr. Wilbur gave us the best seats in the house, and did his utmost to make our visit a pleasant one.
The class of 1916 has given a direct carbon photo 64 inches by 37 inches, "Cicero's Oration Against Cataline." The photo hangs in Room M. The Elson Art Co. of Belmont are the publishers of the photo.
The subscription for Stetson Field amounted to $335, all of which was expended. Of this amount Anna C. Ames of North Easton donated. $100.
The Field committee found that the construction of blind drains and the burying of the old stone wall used up the money very fast, so that it was impossible to finish the work. Every dollar expended now shows results on the surface.
The teachers of the school are at present referring all social activities, athletic contests, etc., to the trustees for approval; in this way by placing a share of the responsibility upon the trustees we are less open to criticism in our enter-

tainments and games. This is in line with the policy adopted in many of the larger high schools of the state where a sub- committee of the school-board has charge of such matters.
The tennis courts on the school grounds have been in constant use during the playing season. These courts represent an expenditure of several hundred dollars and for dirt courts are in good condition. The trustees have given the Randolph Tennis Club the privilege of using the courts and the club has put up back nets of wire screening, much improving the playing qualities of the courts. Four or five additional courts could be made in the old garden on the north side of the school grounds. This would be an ideal place for tennis courts; the lot is of just the right di- mensions and the courts would run north and south. Ten- nis is a good game and has been taken up with enthusiasm by the young people of the town.
Several valuable Rocky Mountain spruces near the north entrance to the grounds ought to be transplanted in some more appropriate place. The building committee had this in mind when the lawn was laid out, but lacked the means to carry out their plan. A pleasing addition to the lawn could also be made by planting shrubbery along the driveway for about twenty feet on each side of the front door of the building.
A list of names of the pupils in attendance at the opening of Stetson School, April 10, 1843, has been requested and is as follows: The numbers indicate ages-Henry Augustus Alden, 16; Hiram Carroll Alden, 16; Henry G.

N. C. Berry was the "instructor." The trustees were Col. Royal Turner, Aaron Prescott and Levi Paine. The total number of pupils was fifty-four.
The teachers of the Stetson High School wish to thank you for the courtesy and practical suggestions which have characterized your relations with us. We have found the Trustees of the school always ready to listen to us in matters relating to the interest of the pupils and for this we desire to thank them.
Sincerely,

Home Gardens
Last March 253 pupils purchased 2,282 penny packets of vegetable and flower seeds and planted their little home gardens; the season proved favorable and in a majority of the gardens, the children obtained excellent results.
The Amherst Agricultural College sent seed potatoes to 54 boys and girls who joined the Massachusetts Potato Club, and entered the contest for the ribbons awarded by the college for the best plates and pecks of potatoes raised from the seed.
The annual exhibition was held in the high school assem- bly room on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, Septem- ber 26, and the variety and excellence of the exhibits was a credit to the interest and perseverance of the children. Following is the list of premiums awarded.

Age Requirement for First Year Pupils
Since I have been connected with the schools in this district, I have been impressed with the difficulty which many pupils experience in accomplishing, in a satisfactory manner, the work required in the various grades; the teach- ers frequently complain that the children are immature for the work required of them.
There is also evidence of this immaturity when they undertake the more difficult and comprehensive studies of the high school course.
I have given the subject careful consideration and am convinced that, when the work of the elementary schools is to be completed in eight years, children should be six years old before entering the first grade.
During each year in the life of a normal child, nature produces a regular and pretty well defined increase in men- tal ability, and it follows that, if the age of entering school is raised from five to six years, the added year of maturity must be an advantage to him throughout the entire school course, particularly in the more difficult work of the upper grades and the high school.
Educators who have given much attention to the study of problems connected with our secondary schools, are well agreed that the proper age for children to begin the high school course is at fourteen, and that before that age chil- dren of average ability have not sufficient maturity to enable them to pursue the course to the best advantage.
I find that the majority of our pupils enter the high school before they are fourteen; of forty-seven who entered in September, 1913, twenty-four were between thirteen and fourteen, and five were under thirteen. This must unfavor- ably affect the standard of work in our school when compared
147
1
SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
with that of schools whose entering classes are more mature.
In 1912 I sent a list of questions to the superintendents of forty cities and towns in Massachusetts; two of the questions were the following:
1. Does the course below the high school consist of eight or nine grades?
2. At what age do pupils enter the first grade?
Thirty-one replies were received and of these, 19 reported a nine-year course and 12 an eight-year course; of those reporting an eight-year course, five reported the entering age at 6, four at 5 1-2, and from each of the other three the reply was that the entering age was 5, but that the super- intendent was in favor of 6.
At that time a careful study of the replies led me to the conclusion that, with an eight grade elementary course, the entering age should be six years, and my experience in the schools of this district has strengthened the force of that conclusion. I am convinced that the suggested change would greatly increase the efficiency of our schools and en- able the children to pursue their studies to better advan- tage.
Conclusion
In closing this report I wish to express to all who have been engaged with me in the active work of the schools, my appreciation of their hearty co-operation and support.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL F. BLODGETT,
Superintendent.
