Vaccinated children five years of age, or who will reach that age on or before the first day of October, are admitted during the month of September only, provided they have never attended school before. Children able to enter existing classes will be ad- mitted at any time. Applications for admission should be made to the principal of the school.


At present the primary classes contain 4,083 pupils, 39 per cent. of whom are in the first grade, 31 per cent. in the second, and 30 per cent. in the third. Average number to a teacher, 47.


Only trained or experienced teachers are employed, the sala- ries being $300, $400, $500, $600, or $650, according to length of service. Normal training is equivalent to a year's experience, and experience in other places is counted in determining salary.


First-grade teachers, with classes numbering fifty, are al- lowed an assistant, who is paid $200, $275, $350, or $425, accord- ing to years of service.


Grammar Schools. The grammar classes are found chiefly in eleven large buildings, of twelve rooms each. The course covers six years, and includes only those studies which the statute requires, with the addition of music, sewing, and elementary science.


207


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


Eleven hundred and six pupils were promoted into the fourth grade in June last, at an average age of 9 years, 4 months. Four hundred and ninety-seven were graduated in June, at an average age of 15 years, 4 months. There are at the present time (December, 1902) 5,541 in the grammar schools.


The salaries of grammar school teachers are the same as those of primary teachers. Masters are paid $1,900, and their assistants $725. Other ninth-grade teachers are paid $700.


Promotions. Promotions in all grades, from the first to the thirteenth, are made in June by the regular teacher and the prin- cipal, with the approval of the Superintendent and district com- mittee. They are based on the estimate of the pupil's daily work made by the teacher and recorded bi-monthly. An occasional brief, unannounced, written test is a factor in this estimate.


Where there is reasonable doubt of a student's fitness, he may be promoted on a trial of three months. In such cases the parent is notified and kept informed of his child's progress. At the end of this probationary period he may be returned to his for- mer grade, provided it seems for his interests. In 1902 less than ten per cent. of those promoted on trial fell back.


Children capable of more rapid advancement may be pro- moted one or more grades at any time. Thirty were thus pro- moted in 1902.


Fitness for graduation or for admission to the high schools is determined in precisely the same way. Diplomas are given in grammar and high schools to those who have satisfactorily com- pleted full courses.


Latin High School. In September, 1895, in the forty-third year of its existence, the Somerville High School was divided, the classical, or college preparatory, departments remaining in the old building, erected in 1872, and the English departments occu- pying a new buiding, erected in 1894-'95.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


The object of the school is, primarily, to furnish a suitable preparation for those pupils who desire to pursue either a regular or a special course of study at higher institutions of learning, but the school is open to all pupils who wish to take the courses of study offered.


The regular time for completing the course is four years. Pupils, at the request of their parents, can make the work of each year easier by taking five years for the course. Those who are capable, and have good reason for shortening the time of prepa- ration are allowed to complete the course in as short a time as their ability will permit.


Graduates of grammar schools are admitted to either High School on presenting a certificate of qualification signed by a master. All other pupils are admitted by an examination in grammar school studies, given usually on the Saturday preceding the opening of the schools in September.


The tuition for non-residents is the per capita cost for the year, payable in advance. The sessions of the school are from 8.30 to 1.30. The salaries paid High School teachers are given on later pages of this report.

The course of study covers four years. Graduates are ad- mitted to special courses when the conditions are favorable. Candidates for technical and normal schools take specific pre- paratory work.


The wide range of elective studies is a distinctive feature of the school. The choice of the first year may be one of the fo !- lowing: Latin, French, German, biology (botany and zoology), manual training, and mechanical drawing. To these physics is added for the second year, and chemistry, geology, and astronomy for the third and fourth. After the second year two or more electives may be taken.


209


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


During the third and fourth years the student may elect in a business course bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, commer- cial law, penmanship, stenography, typewriting ; in mathematics, advanced algebra, solid geometry, analytical geometry, and trigonometry; in advanced science, work in botany, zoology, physics, chemistry, and drawing.


Of the fifteen periods of prepared work, the course pre- scribes ten periods the first year, eleven periods the second year, seven periods the third year, and seven periods the fourth year. The pupil has the privilege of selecting from the list of elective studies subjects whose recitation periods each week, or their equivalents, when added to the required prepared work, shall equal the necessary fifteen periods.


Concerning admission, sessions, etc., see Latin School.


A simple, healthful, inexpensive lunch is served at the recess midway of each session to pupils desiring it.


Manual Training. -Three rooms are fitted and equipped in the basement of the English High School for its manual training department. The course includes carpentry, wood-turning, and carving, clay modeling, pattern making, moulding, and casting. A fourth room is devoted to mechanical drawing, with a full course. Manual training has not been extended to include gram- mar schools.


The sub-master in charge of the manual training department is paid $1,700, and his assistants $1,550 and $800.


Sewing. Sewing is taught to the girls in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grammar grades in weekly lessons of one hour each.


Three special teachers are employed at salaries of $650, $650, and $600.


Music. Weekly instruction in music is given exclusively in the High Schools, and in part in the three upper grammar grades by a specialist, who is paid $1,700 for five days' service. The books used are "The Euterpean," "The Cecilian Series of Music and Song," Nos. 2, 3, and 4, and "The Laurel Song Book."


In the six lower grades musical instruction is given by the regular grade teacher, under the supervision of a specialist, who visits each class once every thirteen days. She is paid $900. The Normal System of Music, with its books and charts, is used.


Gymnastics. In elementary grades the Ling system of Swedish gymnastics is practiced daily. No special teacher is employed.


Recesses. The Latin School has two brief recesses, breaking the daily session into thirds. The English School has a single recess at the end of the third period.


The four lower elementary grades have a five-minute recess midway of each session. The five upper grammar grades have no recess, though no unreasonable physical restraint is placed upon any pupil.


210


ANNUAL REPORTS.


No detention of pupils is allowed at noon, and but a half- hour's detention at the close of the afternoon session, "for will- ful neglect of duty only."


Corporal Punishment. Corporal punishment, "which in- cludes any infliction of physical pain or application of physical force," is not prohibited. It must, however, not be administered until twenty-four hours after the offense, the approval of the principal being first obtained. Each case must be reported in detail to the Superintendent. There were 270 cases in 1900, 284 in 1901, and 328 in 1902.


Drawing. Two teachers of drawing are employed in the English High School at salaries of $900 and $650. In that school freehand drawing is compulsory for first-year pupils, and elective for all others. Drawing is not taught in the Latin School. A few Latin School pupils are taught drawing in the English School.


In the primary grades daily lessons, and in the grammar grades semi-weekly lessons, are given by the regular teacher, under the direction of a supervisor, who visits each class once a month, and is paid $1,000.


The course includes pictorial drawing from nature, models, and objects; structural drawing from type solids; decorative drawing, designing, and color work, historic ornament and picture-study. No drawing books are used. Colored pencils are provided in primary grades, and water-colors and brush in grammar grades.


Penmanship. Intermedial slant writing is in use in the ele- mentary schools, the Whitehouse system being used. The supervisor visits each class once in four weeks, and receives $1,200.


Student Teachers. At the present time one student teacher is employed in the Latin School. She serves without pay, under the direction of the Head Master.


The Public Library. The English School has a working li- brary of 1,000 volumes, but it draws constantly on the public library, located in an adjoining building.


For four years there has been a constant use of the library by school children. Circulating libraries of fresh books are in use in the smaller buildings. Books are delivered and collected each week at the large grammar schools. As far as they can, the teachers aid in the selection of books by the children, and the librarian and his assistants cheerfully render all the help in their power.


Evening Schools. An evening drawing school for freehand and mechanical work is open in the Latin schoolhouse from October to April, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 7.30 to 9.30. The principal is paid $6, and assistants $3 and $4 an evening.


211


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


Elementary evening schools are open in the Prescott, Bell. Forster, and Highland buildings from October 1 on four even- ings a week, from 7.30 to 9.30. The length of the term is de- pendent on the interest and attendance. The course of study followed is that prescribed by the statute. Principals receive $3 or $4, and assistants $2.50, $2, $1.50, or $1 each evening.


Truants. The city employs one active truant officer, who is paid $1,100 and the board of his horse. Truants are sent to the county truant school at North Chelmsford. There are now nine truants from Somerville in the school.


Janitors. These important officers are appointed by the Commissioner of Public Buildings, and are under his direction and that of the school principal.


Supervision. The Superintendent of Schools is the execu- tive officer of the board, and upon him devolves the general management of the schools under its direction. He serves as the secretary of the board and supply agent. His salary is $3,000, and he is allowed a clerk, who receives $650. His office is in the City Hall Annex, and his hours are from 4 to 5 eacli school day, and from 8 to 9 on Saturday. His office is open from 8 to 12 and from 1.30 to 5 on school days, and from 8 to 10 on Saturday.


Meetings of Board. The meetings of the School Board are held on the last Monday evening of each month, except July, August, and December, at 8.15 o'clock.
