ANNUAL REPORTS.
crime, which is constantly coming to our shores from foreign lands. Each year shows a larger proportion of foreign citizens. In self- defence, the State must use every endeavor first, to educate, our native born and raise them to the highest stage of civilization and useful- ness of which they are capable, then do all possible for the immi- grants. We are blind to our duty and blind to our danger, if we neglect any portion of our community. We shall be overwhelmed by the invasion of foreign ignorance if we do not rear here among our own people a generation of educated, industrious, moral, and cultured citizens. The State should do this, because it is to save the institu- tions of the State, because its benefits are to flow out to the State. Therefore, I would urge the importance of going to the legislature and asking that the State do something for our neglected classes.
I am pleased to report that for years some of our schools have: made it a practice to collect clothing for the needy, and to distribute it in homes where deserving people dwell. The truant officer has taken the distribution in hand, and much good has been done. Chil- dren who otherwise could not attend school have thus been clothed. At Thanksgiving time the schools collect and distribute provisions, that cheer many a family that otherwise would suffer in want. I mean to push these inquiries to see if there cannot be som e way by which our children may be more regularly and more completely educated. Physical education is as essential as intellectual, but whether the city can feed as well as educate, is a question not for me to answer, though other countries, states, and cities have in some cases done so. Nourishment is a necessity : a good slice of bread might prove a preventive for many fits of temper and many unlearned lessons.
The truant officer is aiding me very willingly in the investigation of the causes that lead to irregular attendance and bad behavior .. This is a great field for inquiry, and I am hopeful of getting down to causes the removal of which may greatly facilitate the develop- ment of true character and more ideal results in instruction.
MUSIC.
The one notable gain made during the year is the appointment of a music director for the first five grades of the schools. Music introduced last year in the primary grades made a fair beginning, but a decided improvement has now been instituted, which has inspired

confidence in all who are interested in this department of our schools. It is too early to report results. I am satisfied simply to say, that a good beginning has been made, and to submit Mrs. Garwood's report : -
The aim of vocal music study in our public schools is to enable the pupils to sing at sight, -without the aid of an instrument, - a piece of music never seen before. This can be accomplished by the regular teacher. The same principles apply to the teaching of music as to any other branch. The work is graded, each class has a step in advance to take. The unit of tone study is the major scale, and the first step is to sing this scale, sing it till every step and half step is thoroughly learned, till the youngest pupils have mastered every interval, and tones are thought. After this has been done, give the representation, - "Do the thing first, give it a name afterward." The unit of time study is a visible sign, the swinging pendulum; and by the use of a system of "time names" applied to the swings of the pendulum, both power and length of tones are conveyed to the mind, and simple and complicated rhythms are understood and mastered by the pupil. The union of these two great principles, applied to carefully prepared exercises and songs, will produce such results as only this combination can.
The primary work should be thoroughly done, in order that the advanced steps may be taken to good advantage.
The work in the grammar grades will not show the results this year that will be possible when these classes have had the prepara- tory drill, and when the teachers better understand the object and the means of study by which the end is best attained. However, good faithful work is being done, and interest is growing, but time must be allowed, patience exercised, and the fact must be borne in mind, "'Tis one thing to know how a thing should be done, an- other thing to do it." Skill can only be gained by earnest, thought- ful effort; failures at first, success finally.
The teachers have given me hearty co-operation, and their labor is appreciated ; for without their intelligent assistance my time would be uselessly spent. My part, then, is to plan work, instruct teachers in the theory, visit classes, hear them, see if they are being properly taught, take up a new step with them before the teacher, and thus have opportunity to see special needs, and give best help.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
The teachers who comprehend methods of instruction can much more readily understand the normal course of music.
When the subject is treated from a child's point of view, the delight of both teacher and pupils is manifest, and the study of music becomes one of the most enjoyable. The pupil is taught to observe, think, and then sing. There must be mental conception of both rhythm and time. If pupils understand the subject, and if they make intelligent and continued effort to learn to sing and to do whatever is required, they will succeed as surely as in any other case wherein nature gives results as a consequence of intelligent activity. I would respectfully ask that we be allotted a little more time to devote to the study of music. One hour and a half per week would be a great help to us.
Very respectfully,
GISH GARWOOD.

DEPARTMENT OF ART AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
This branch of our work was conducted for several months with- out a director, with a result described by the committee on drawing in the last year's report as follows : -
"The experience of these few months has plainly shown that a supervisor is a necessity, in order to keep the work up to the standard it had already attained. This need is felt most among the new teachers, but in all grades, and especially in those above the fourth, where new work is now being taken up, supervision and instruction are necessary for the best results."
It was found, also, that during the five months which followed Miss Herrick's resignation the work suffered considerably, not only on account of the inexperience of new teachers, who are constantly coming into the ranks, but also because in most of the grades the work is in the state of progression, and it will be a number of years before each class will be ready for the work systematically arranged for it in the course.
201
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Miss Balch submits the following report and suggestions : -
The present supervisor of drawing feels herself fortunate in being allowed to build on so good a foundation as that laid by her predecessor. Most of the teachers who worked with Miss Herrick have a fair knowledge of the elements of form study and drawing, and are able to teach these subjects successfully.
In this paper it will not be necessary to speak very minutely of the details of the work, as these have been already dwelt upon in previous reports. Let us devote our attention more especially to the needs of our schools in the direction of art training.
What are we doing to foster in our children a fine appreciation and love of the beautiful ? In literature, if this is done at all, it must be by putting before them the works of the best writers, even from a very early age. This is quite easy to do, but how about art, as applied to painting, drawing, and sculpture? The works of the great masters we cannot have even for our homes, much less for our schools. Shall we then do nothing in the matter, because we cannot do the best? Many of the great masterpieces of art are reproduced by photography in such a way that, although the charm of the color- ing is lost, the beauties of form still remain. Might not these have some influence toward the culture of the higher nature of the child ?
It is true that even the largest reproductions are usually not large enough for the walls of the schoolroom. A picture which does very well for the home is entirely lost when hung in the schoolroom. It might be possible, however, if there were a demand for enlarged copies of the works of the great masters, that they could be supplied. Casts, also, reproducing some of the finest examples of sculpture, can be obtained at slight cost.
It will be urged in answer to these statements, that even though the expense for each school should be small, yet the entire amount required will be considerably more than the School Board would feel justified in expending. This is quite true, and until the public feel the great importance of art training for our people, nothing need be expected in the way of an appropriation for this object.
Meanwhile, there are doubtless many individuals who would be glad to bring more beauty into the lives of our children, and who feel that whatever is given for this purpose is very far from being lost. If a company of such persons could be formed and should take measures for establishing a fund for bringing art into the schoolroom,
202
ANNUAL REPORTS.
would it not be a glorious thing ? This fund might be placed in the hands of a committee competent to judge of suitable decoration in the way of wall finish, and also of appropriate pictures to place before children in the different grades. If this could be accom- plished, there would come an element into our teaching which is at the present time almost entirely lacking. For five hours in the day the children would be in the presence of that which tends to elevate and refine; for, of course, only those examples would be selected which are universally acknowledged to be of the best.
Another great need in our schools is color-teaching. Last year a few designs in colored paper were made in each class, and the results, as shown in our exhibit, were very pleasing. We need another and larger supply of this colored paper, as well as charts and tablets, so that the work may be systematically carried on in all our schools. The education of the color sense in children is of great importance, not only because the element of color enters so largely into the practical affairs of life, but also because a fine appreciation of harmony in color is a source of pure and exquisite pleasure, which tends to refine and uplift its possessor.
In all our work in drawing during the year we have tried to encourage free expression on the part of the child. To aid in this he has been asked to illustrate little stories and poems read or told by the teacher, and also to make pictures at home of the things in which he is interested. It is hoped that the fostering of this natural desire for expression, combined with a systematic training in observ- ing and representing form, will result in making the pupil as ready to express his thought by drawing as he is by speaking or writing.
Side by side with the acquiring of the language of form should go the training for the appreciation of that which is really good and beautiful in form and color, just as the study of the language of words should be accompanied by the best in literature.
We have no expectation that even with the most thorough, patient, and earnest teaching the average graduate of our schools will become either a poet or an artist, but we do most sincerely believe that all may be uplifted and refined, and that all may be led to a certain extent to appreciate and love the good and beautiful in literature and art.

Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
TEACHERS.
I wish to call your attention to the fact that we have appointed thirty-five new teachers since the last report. This means, as you know, that a great amount of time has been spent in looking up teachers, that progress in the schools has been retarded by constant changes in the teaching force, and that the time for supervision has been seriously interrupted. I am pleased to state that we have been able to secure good teachers, though some have declined our offers by reasons of inducements at home.
The business of securing good teachers is a large and very im- portant one. It is well known that the supply is limited, and it is a serious question how and where to secure the best. Substitutes are also scarce. It is difficult to obtain assistants. The question of the training of teachers is forcibly brought to our attention, and I still believe that the board will sooner or later be obliged to take steps toward the establishment of a training school.
