It is a matter of extreme gratification to me to state that the school has had the privilege during the past year of hearing excellent orchestral music by players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. These concerts were given for a small admission fee for pupils who cared to attend them, and were very largely and heartily supported.
Debating during this year has been very active. There are three debating clubs; the Girls' Debating Club, the Web- ster Debating Society, and the Boys' Debating Club. These societies have held several public debates. On January 28, the Girls' Debating Club defeated the Girls' Debating Club of Malden; on May 15, the Webster Debating Society defeated the Debating Club of the Everett High School. In all of the debates our pupils acquitted themselves well and showed a lively interest and evidence of careful study. A very inter- esting type of entertainment furnished by the Webster Debat- ing Society occurred this fall when the club held an evening meeting for the public. The program for the evening was a representation of a regular club meeting followed by a de- bate from the floor. Those who attended were very much in- terested and appreciative.
The interest of the public in athletics during the past year has been most gratifying and the organization of the "Royal Rooters," made up of citizens of the city, has result- ed in much good. A complimentary dinner was given by them to the members of our football team and a special cup known

ANNUAL REPORTS
as the "Chester Otis Garland Trophy" was presented by Robert Garland in memory of his brother. The first name to be inscribed on this cup for his excellence in scholarship and all-round ability was Edwin Johnson, who brought much credit to the school for his work in football and in track.
The academic work of the school has been well con- ducted in spite of difficult conditions, particularly in the matter of college preparation. There has been the same faith- ful work on the part of teachers and the same steady effort on the part of pupils. Pupils were sent from this school to many higher institutions. The boys were quite uniformly successful in gaining admission to the colleges of their choice. The girls were less successful although they were practically all received by some college if not the one of their original selection. Admission to colleges is of two types, either by examination or by certificate. By the examination method pupils must take college examinations approved by the col- leges and given under conditions which they dictate. By the certificate method pupils are accepted or rejected according to the report which the preparatory school makes regarding the scope and quality of their work in that preparatory school. The girls who applied for admission last year were faithful, hard working girls who, however, were not able to stand the strain and nervous tax of long extended examinations. They were girls, however, who were worthy of admission to col- lege and it is a matter of considerable gratification that there are still some colleges that take such pupils on the recom- mendation of the preparatory schools without the necessity of the nervous strain of examinations. These girls will un- doubtedly do well in their college work and the institutions which have not succeeded in getting them may be the losers.
On the whole the school has carried on harmoniously, ever endeavoring to maintain the best traditions of its long history of seventy-five years.
Very truly yours,
JOHN A. AVERY,
Headmaster.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THRIFT INSTRUCTION
January 27, 1927.
Mr. Charles S. Clark Superintendent of Schools Somerville, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Clark :
A report of the Thrift Instruction program and work in our schools during the past year is herewith submitted.
In the second year of our endeavors to establish Thrift as part of the school curriculum throughout the schools of. Somerville, our work has been directed along three distinct paths. These have been, first, the inculcation of Thrift prin- ciples ; second, the formation of Thrift habits; and finally, the organization of a new school banking system based on student participation. Thus it is seen that in our efforts to make Thrift a potent factor in the character building proc- ess of our schools, we have tried to develop the theory, to en- courage the practice, and to provide the means whereby stu- dents are afforded an opportunity to acquire those requisites which will fit them for a successful place in the community.
In order to fulfill effectively and systematically the first of our purposes we placed material in the form of bul- letins and pamphlets in the hands of all the teachers, outlin- ing a course in Thrift Instruction for every grade from the Kindergarten through the Senior High School. Here the teachers could find suggestions for their own particular grade, and carry out the work through the medium of the various subjects they taught. The aim of this material is to unify and co-ordinate the Thrift Instruction in the schools so that the different grades form steps in the entire process of mold- ing the pupil's character. The main principles embodied in this course of Thrift Training are:
1. To acquaint pupils with the broader aspects of sav- ing;
2. To make clear that in saving it is wise to save mon- ey not with the aim of getting money, but with the aim of using money ;
3. To point out to them the ways and means of using money so that it will produce the greatest amount of good for themselves now, and in the future for those who may be dependent upon them;
152
ANNUAL REPORTS
4. To inculcate the idea that real Thrift consists in wise spending, whether it be time, money, or energy, in order that they may acquire conceptions of relative value and of ultimate value.
But the inculcation of theory alone is not sufficient. It is necessary to provide the means for practicing these principles in order that they may become habits of action. The emphasis throughout the year was, therefore, placed on the idea that "one learns to do by doing," and that every opportunity should be grasped to develop character traits of frugality and self-control through the constant prac- tice of saving. To stimulate the practice of Thrift a cup was offered by the Somerville Institution for Savings, and was awarded to the Northeastern Junior High School in recogni- tion of the meritorious effort manifested in the school when 99.8%, of the pupils were enrolled as depositors. We feel that this trophy, as well as other contemplated honors, will serve to foster the spirit of healthy competition, which in turn will make its effect felt on the practices of the pupils.
To carry out the third objective our efforts were direct- ed towards revising the old banking system, which required the teachers to keep the banking records. A successful school banking system should be practical, but at the same time educational, and possess the human interest element for the pupil. With this thought in mind, the school Saving System was entirely re-organized so that the work of the banking should be carried on by the students. The experiment con- ducted at the opening of the school year 1925-26 in the Bing- ham School was adapted to the Senior High School on a more elaborate scale. The High School Bank was opened on January 18, 1926, in quarters specially outfitted with the equipment necessary to carry on the business of a bank. Pu- pils from the Commercial Course were assigned to form the personnel of the bank. The procedure of making deposits on the home room unit plan was introduced. There were ap- pointed a resident pupil treasurer and an assistant in each home room.
After receiving the individual deposits of the pupils in their respective rooms the deposits are recorded by the treas- urers on the cash sheet. In regular bank envelopes they carry the deposit material, all data, and money to one of the Receiving Tellers at the High School Bank. Thereafter fol- lows the routine business of proving the cash with the ac- counts of deposits made; the recording of individual accounts and filing; making the necessary statistical records; and in general executing the duties of a banking establishment. The
.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
work thus affords practical experience to the pupil-clerks and officers in all the technical processes of a banking institu- tion, and at the same time furnishes excellent training as a foundation for any future practical business needs.
Still in the process of experimentation, with a view to make the benefit derived from banking more wide-spread, to make more universal the opportunity for practice in accura- cy, in responsibility, in managing one's own affairs, a new banking deposit book was evolved and placed in the hands of the depositors. The new type of deposit book, to meet the above requirements, is based on a check book idea, the depositor retaining the record of his weekly deposits on the stubs. The cumulative power of regular deposits is kept in the foreground of the depositor's attention through the necessity of obtaining a new balance in each instance after adding the week's deposit to the old balance. A personal responsibility is awakened, a personal interest is focused, and habits of accuracy are formed.
In the High School a body of interested depositors, a corps of pupils conducting the business of the bank by and for themselves, and a growing Thrift sense, combined to bring about most gratifying results, as indicated by the astounding gain made in the number of depositors, deposits, and in the amount of money deposited. From the beginning of the school year, September 1925, through January 12, 1926, the period before the opening of the new High School Bank, com- prising the first half of the year, there had been only 336 de- posits made, and $722.86 deposited. During the second half of the year, dating from January 18, when the new system was installed, to the end of the school year, there were 11,711 deposits made, and $9,440.86 deposited. The total number of depositors rose from 104 to 1507, that is from 5% to 74 %. The High School then rightly assumed its place at the head of the list in the record established by the schools of the city.
To complete the reorganization of the banking procedure of the entire city, the new system was introduced this Fall into the Elementary Schools with this especial feature: the High School Bank was to act in the capacity of the main Bank of the School Savings System of the city, and the El- ementary Schools to serve in the nature of branches. The system of Room Treasurers was extended to the Elementary Schools, and the deposits received in the individual rooms. A representative from the depository bank collects the money from each building as it has been received from the home rooms, and, in turn, delivers the deposit material and all the data to the High School Bank. Here the volume of work of keeping the records of the Elementary Schools forms the ma-
154
ANNUAL REPORTS
terial for a course in banking practice conducted through the Commercial Department in the High School Bank. In this way an increased number of pupils are given the benefit of a specific business training. The scope of the work and the type of work are proving big factors in enlisting the whole- hearted interest of the pupils, and are bringing about the most satisfactory responses to the stimuli provided.
In addition the new system was also extended to the Junior High Schools, each Junior High acting as a unit in itself, having its own organization patterned after that of the Senior High School Bank, and conducting the business of the banking in its own building. The effect of the concen- trated efforts in these schools through the new system is evi- dent in the average increase of 290% which has taken place in the number of enrolled depositors.
