In the Domestic Science classroom the individual equip- ment has been replaced by ranges of family size, and large work tables, so that with greater facilities better results can be ob- tained. It is desired to give the students in these classes the opportunity to work in family quantities and to repeat processes often enough to gain skill in making a product that will have a distinct commercial value.


The lesson period is hardly long enough for some foods to be prepared, and it is to be regretted that often one class must finish what another has begun, the student thus losing the value to be gained by assuming the full responsibility for a finished product, and its ultimate value to the consumer. With this work in cooking are lessons in food values, their costs, and combinations for a balanced diet.


Sewing in the Elementary Schools.


The sewing in the elementary schools is progressing along the lines established last year. Wherever it is pos- sible to change the prescribed course of study to meet the needs of either physical training in the schools or sewing and cooking in the Junior High Schools, it has been done. In the Junior High Schools where it has been necessary to make towels, holders, cooking caps and aprons for the classes this has been substituted for the underwear of the grades, and where physical training is taught and bloomers and middy blouses have been worn, these have been made in the higher grades.


We have been so fortunate as to secure another teacher in addition to the four we had, and we have also had the opportunity to use as a substitute teacher one who has been trained at the Vocational School, and another who is giving her time for the sake of the experience. This shows progress, and should mean, as far as large classes are con- cerned, more efficiency in dealing with them. While we have installed one sewing machine in each school, and while in some schools we are so fortunate as to have special rooms for sewing, there is still the problem to be solved of overcrowded rooms, one-half occupied by a study class. It is hoped that this will be remedied in time and that we shall be able to give to sewing the dignity and seriousness of purpose that it

merits, by having it conducted in classrooms equipped for that purpose.


Evening Practical Arts Classes.


The evening classes closed on March 15th with an ex- hibition and reception to the students and their friends. The results of the year's work have been gratifying, not only be- cause of the quality and quantity of the work accomplished, but also because of the enthusiasm and good attendance of the students.


Classes were held in dressmaking, millinery, and cooking. Many dresses were shown, those of cotton materials from the elementary class, and of wool and silk from the advanced class. .


Winter and spring hat making were taught in the re- spective units and the new flowers and trimmings for the individual hats.


The cooking differed from the last year. Instead of a group of the same kinds of food making a unit, the unit com- prised the more general family meals, adapted to the need of this particular class.


During the course each member of the class learned to prepare those foods she wished to know about, and in small family quantities that could be taken home. This proved so much more satisfactory than serving what had been prepared during the school hour, that we shall probably conduct next year's classes in the same way. All the members hope to re- turn next year and have asked that one lesson a week be de- voted to cooking and the other to the study of food costs and their nutritive values.


Respectfully yours,


MARY HENLEIGH BROWN.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS. November 1, 1915, to October 31, 1916.


The School Savings Bank system has now been in opera- tion in our schools since March, 1912. That it has met with the approval of both teachers and parents is shown by the results obtained. The details that at first were troublesome have been gradually eliminated until now the system is on a good working basis.


The aims of the School Savings Banks are to instill in the minds of children the necessity of laying aside something today for the needs of tomorrow; to teach them to spend money wisely; to discriminate between the essential and non-essen- tial; in short, to form character, which is the object of educa- tion.


Thrift is not only saving money; it is also using to the best advantage all one's resources, mental and physical as well as financial. Money spent for a good book, healthful recrea- tion, or anything that will make for increased efficiency is as truly invested and will return dividends as surely as money put in the Savings Bank.


A child trudging to school with a nickel for his savings account clutched in his fist, and bravely passing the store wherein candy and toys dear to the childish heart are tempt- ingly displayed, is creating will-power that will enable him to resist the greater temptations of later life.


Through the courtesy of Ray R. Rideout, treasurer of the Somerville Institution for Savings, the following information relative to the School Savings Bank is furnished :-


The comparison of the School Savings Bank in Somerville with the statistics of the School Savings Banks in the State shows that while we are below the average per cent. of enrolled depositors we are well ahead of the average per cent. deposited. On October 31, 1915, the last date for which the figures for the State are obtainable, the School Savings Bank system was in: operation in sixty-one cities or towns with an enrollment of 140,012 scholars. Of this number 68,780 were depositors, or 49.12%. On that date Somerville had 12,813 enrolled scholars, of whom 4,361 were depositors, or 34.04%.


The total number of depositors in Somerville was 6.34% of the total number of depositors in the State. The total amount deposited in Somerville for the year ending October 31, 1915, was 10.18% of the total deposited in the School Savings Banks of the State, while the amount of withdrawals for the same period was only 4.85% of the total amount withdrawn in the State, and the amount transferred to pass-books was


135


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


12.39% of the total amount transferred from the School Sav- ings Banks of the State to individual pass-books.


The average amount saved by each depositor in the Som- erville School Savings Banks for that period was $4.04, while the average amount saved by each depositor in the School Sav- ings Banks of the State for the same time was $2.52. The teachers certainly deserve the credit for this remarkable show- ing as it is due to their interest and enthusiasm that the School Savings Banks in Somerville are so successful.


Below is a tabulation of the deposits, withdrawals, and trans- fers each year since the system was established, also a detailed report of each school for the year ending October 31, 1916 :-
