SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


After careful analysis of the record of the pupils who have «entered college and business from this school, it seems that the «Somerville High School should in no sense be ashamed of its graduates, and in fact I feel justified in stating that the record of pupils who have gone from this school compares very favora- bły with the product of the best public high schools.


With a return gradually to normal conditions and with the corresponding disappearance of the disconcerting influences of the past few years, the year 1921 should produce an even higher grade of progress, efficiency, and service.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN A. AVERY,

REPORT OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS.


Mr. Charles S. Clark, Supt. of Schools, Somerville, Mass.


Dear Sir:


I submit the following report of the work of the Boys' Vo- · cational School. The enrollment this year is the largest in the history of the school and there is a waiting list in two of the departments.


In June 18 boys were graduated and 17 boys were placed in the industry for which they were trained. The work of a vocational school is judged by its so-called "productivity" and in this respect our school has been signally successful as some twenty manufacturing firms in Greater Boston have co-operat- ed with us in assigning work to be done by our school. This arrangement serves two purposes : - it provides our pupils with definitely practical work of a commercial nature and it saves the City of Somerville the expense of providing material to supply this or similar practical experience and training. The trade value of the finished product this year was $5817.29. The school increased the value of its own plant equipment $2007.56 and benefited the School and City Departments by their efforts to the extent of $935.80, for which no charge was


114


ANNUAL REPORTS.


made to these departments. No charge for labor furnished by- the pupils is made to the City and the cash received from out- side work done by the pupils is used to purchase raw materials, maintenance and equipment. The various manufacturing con- cerns with which we have been able to make connections, have- furnished material to the extent of $1401.41.


The outstanding feature of the year is the work of re- habilitation in connection with wounded and disabled service- men of the World War, under the direction of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. In order to undertake this work properly, the Federal Board has loaned the school $25,000 worth of new machinery, so that we now have a fairly complete machine shop accommodating 40 men in machine shop practice. In the woodworking shop 8 service men are being trained.


This work of rehabilitation will probably take three years. to complete. Many of these men have had very little education and in their poor physical condition it requires very much more effort, time and patience to train them for a livelihood .. The instructors are to be commended for their interest in this. exacting work as it involves additional labor, time and thought.


This department is operated for twelve months in the year, from January to December. At the end of the training: > period the school will co-operate with the Federal Board to place these men in profitable employment.


Altogether, since April 75 men have been tried out and trained for actual work.


A new drawing room has been equipped for these men and is also used at times by the regular pupils. As far as possible. the men and the boys are separated.


The present departments of the school are fairly complete- in regard to room, but several new departments, especially a department of printing, should be provided so that the school may render a larger service to industry and thereby provide: the pupils with added opportunities for service in industry.


Respectfully yours,


HARRY L. JONES.

REPORT OF THE GARDEN SUPERVISOR FOR 1920. -


Mr. Charles S. Clark, Superintendent of Schools, Somerville, Mass.


Dear Sir :


Herewith I submit my report as garden supervisor for the season of 1920. The conducting of supervised school gardens as a healthful and useful form of education for city boys and girls is a comparatively new idea. About ten years ago it was advocated and encouraged by the United States Departments of Education and Agriculture jointly. The different State De- partments of Education immediately took up the idea and the City of Somerville was one of the first to put this form of ac- tivity into practical operation. During the late world war school garden activities received great impetus. Contrary to the belief of many, interest in this work did not cease with the signing of the Armistice, and last year supervised school gar- dens were conducted in a great many cities and towns in this immediate vicinity.


The general appearance of the Somerville school gardens, and the results obtained by the 365 boys and girls who suc- cessfully carried on this project last summer, are positive proof


116


ANNUAL REPORTS.


of the real interest in school gardens. The work in Somer -- ville was conducted along about the same lines as have been. in successful operation the past three years. All of the areas,. with one exception, were used again this year for school gar- den purposes. The land was put in proper condition and fertilized by the city and the children paid for the seeds and plants used in their individual plots, the cost to them this year being 90 cents. All seeds and plants were furnished by the- garden supervisor and all planting and the care of the gar- dens was under his personal supervision. Early in the year. those who were to have garden plots were organized into clubs. Meetings were held and instruction given by the supervisor in the methods to be pursued during the garden season. Seven- teen schools were represented in garden work this year. The- number of children from each school, the location of their gardens, and the size of the area cultivated are given on a sched- ule appended to this report. The keeping of a school garden record book is made part of their garden work. A complete and summarized report book turned in by each one of the school gardeners is on file at the Superintendent's office: in itself a positive proof of the real interest of the boys and girls. of the City of Somerville to carry to a successful finish an un- dertaking of this kind. By the use of this record book, arith- metic, spelling, and bookkeeping are correlated with garden work. A careful summary of these record books has been made- and is appended to this report. It shows the total amount of the different vegetables raised, and their retail market value .. The sum total aggregates $8214.45. This fine record of results. was made during a season which was not a particularly favora- ble one for the raising of crops from the standpoint of weather conditions. During the planting season it was exceedingly cold and wet, which necessitated the re-planting of several of the garden areas, and later on, during mid-summer, the con- tinued dry spell necessitated frequent watering in order to save the crops.


This year exhibits were made by the children of their products at the New England States Fair at Worcester carly in September, and also at the Middlesex Agricultural Fair held at Waltham. The first prize was captured by the school gar -- deners of this city at both places, this in competition with a score or more of other cities and towns.


Seeds. -


At the request of several principals and teachers the gar -- den supervisor obtained a supply of flower and vegetable seeds. put up in small packages from a reliable seed concern, which.


117


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.


were sold to school children at cost. In this way good, reliable seeds of the varieties best adapted to conditions found here in Somerville, were placed in the hands of the school children. About 12,000 packages of seeds were disposed of this season, and from the reports received good results were obtained, and it is planned to continue this practice each year.


Canning Clubs.


Canning clubs were organized and conducted through the two summer months by five clubs, with a total enrollment of 56. children. Two teachers were employed two days a week to supervise and carry on this work. What has been said in re- gard to the interest in school gardens is also very true of this form of work for boys and girls. Even with the inadequate paraphernalia and places for carrying on this work at our disposal, good results have been obtained each year. I would like to see more equipment and help provided so that more boys and girls might benefit from this form of activity another year. Most of the children belonging to the canning clubs have a school garden so that the vegetables canned are freshly picked and of good quality, which insures a canned product of the best. An exhibition was held at the Cutler School in Octo- ber, where each member exhibited five jars of his canned prod- ucts. They were judged by a representative sent by the State Board of Education, and an average percent of 91 was obtained by the five clubs and a banner awarded to them for their good work. In both the garden work and canning activities help and assistance were rendered by the officers and staff of the Middlesex County Farm Bureau and State Department of Agriculture.


Winter Instruction.


During the winter term I have been giving classroom in- struction to boys and girls in the fifth and sixth grades along simple lines of properly preparing the soil and planting gar- dens, and it is hoped that the coming season will find the gardens more productive, and their general appearance an im- provement over anything accomplished in the past.


In addition to my work with the school gardens help and assistance were given to any and all persons, juvenile or adult, who carried on backyard or vacant lot gardens during the sea- son of 1920, children alone having about 2500 such plots under cultivation in the City of Somerville. Many of them produced vegetables enough to furnish the home table during the entire garden season. The use of some cold frames at the City Farm


118


ANNUAL REPORTS.


was given by that Department and children from the Cutler and Western Junior High Schools raised in these frames about 2500 cabbage plants, and 1000 tomato plants which were used in the school gardens. I wish it were possible to have cold frames in the school yards of several of our school buildings where vegetables, plants and flowers might be started by the children and transplanted to their garden plots later in the season.


In closing, permit me to express my appreciation to all those who have shown an interest and have been a help in this branch of school work. It is only through the co-operation of principals and teachers that this work can be carried on successfully.


Very truly yours,


WILLIAM B. MOORE.
