XV. FRIENDLY CRITICISM.
During the year, our schools were visited by a gentleman who stands high' in educational circles, a close observer and friendly critic. The attention of teachers is called to his suggestions, which he briefly sums up as follows :-
1. That teachers think out carefully the purpose as an educa- tional factor of the branch they are teaching, and the method of attaining their end, and in class-work that they stick to their pur- pose, without permitting themselves to ramble, or be led away by minor and unproductive details.
2. That they avoid talking too much, and especially avoid helping the pupils out by repeating and completing their crude an- swers. The pupils should be required to clear up their own state- ments, otherwise these statements will always be crude.
3. That teachers should try, if possible, to forget that the divisions they are teaching are made up of the duller, or slower, or
274
ANNUAL REPORTS.
less ambitious scholars. I would not be unjust in my criticisms, and I hope I am not, but I fear that some of the lack of interest in some of the classes is due to a feeling among the pupils, half caught from the teachers, that they are considered a poor division from which little is to be expected. I hope I am wrong in this suspicion. Nowhere in a school is good teaching so much needed, and no- where has it such an opportunity to show itself, as with slow and unambitious scholars ; and no secret should be more carefully kept from the pupils, than that the teacher thinks them dull.
XVI. TRUANCY.
Attention is invited to the statistics of the truant officer, which indicate an increase in truancy in 1893, as compared with former years. This increase may be ascribed, in part at least, to the influence of boys not in attendance at public schools. Teachers, parents, and public officials of all kinds should co-operate for the suppression of this evil. Truant boys are the very ones that most need the restraining and uplifting influences of the schools to replace what the home cannot, or will not, do for them. They furnish re- cruits for the vicious classes in every community. All the power of the teacher should be exerted for their reclamation. Habitual truants should be promptly sent to the truant school, not only for their own good, but to protect others from their evil influence. Nothing restrains crime like the prompt and impartial execution of the law. Embryo criminals, like the full-fledged, often mistake leniency for indulgence, and very quickly learn to place a fitting estimate upon promises of punishment. Severity in dealing with truancy is the greatest kindness to the offenders themselves, and to- the schools they corrupt.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
XVII. CONCLUSION.
A better opportunity for observing and studying the conditions and needs of our schools than that afforded by a four months' in- cumbency of the office of superintendent, will undoubtedly lead to more nearly correct conclusions, but at the present time it appears that our schools as a whole are accomplishing the results for which they are established and sustained, in as satisfactory a way as their crowded condition allows. Careful, thorough, intelligent work along existing lines, is what is needed for the present.
Changes in courses and methods are rendered inevitable by the progress of events and the constant changes in our industrial and social conditions. Without allowing ourselves to be led away from the well-established highway by every ignis fatuus that springs up along the roadside, we must ever be ready to surrender what is old and to adopt what is new, provided always that reason and experi- ence show the change to be for the positive advantage of the schools whose interest we must conserve at whatever cost.
The incorporation of the kindergarten as the foundation of our school structure, the adoption of manual training in wood work and mental work, provision for instruction in domestic art and sci- ence, the employment of special instructors in nature-work and physical training, the extension of the time of specialists already in service,-all these are very desirable and will ultimately be secured, but they must be deferred until all parts of our city can alike share their advantages. The most pressing need is so to increase our school accomodations that every child of school age in Somerville may have a comfortable seat five hours in every day in an un- crowded school-room whose air and light and heat shall be the best that modern science affords. This need supplied, the number of pupils assigned to a single instructor should be reduced to a teach- able limit. To secure these desiderata will sufficiently tax our financial resources for the present. Nor for these purposes will ap- propriations be withheld by a government always generous in sup- plying the necessities of the public schools.
For upon the schools more than upon all other agencies com- bined, depend our future welfare and prosperity. Let their inter- ests then be guarded and fostered with jealous care. Give them

the best teachers, good houses, suitable appliances, wisely arranged · courses, watchful supervision, severe but intelligent criticism, gen- erous moral and material support, and the reward will come in the virtue, in the loyalty, in the intelligence, in the happiness of the fu- ture citizens of Somerville.
The superintendent wishes gratefully to acknowledge his per- sonal indebtedness to the members of the School Board for their kind consideration and support, as well as his obligations to the teachers of the schools, one and all, for their hearty sympathy and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. SOUTHWORTH, Superintendent.
