Courses of Study
During the year courses of study in Latin, Spanish, Italian, Commerce and Industry, Music, Art Appreciation, Geography, Penmanship, and Kindergarten Work were adopted and as fast as clerical assistance and revision will permit they are being placed in the hands of the teachers. It is entirely probable that within the coming year the teaching material in all the subjects taught will be directed by a course of study worked out with the collaboration of the teachers and the su- pervisors. The particular work to be undertaken next year will be the formation of subject tests devised by the teachers to test the various courses of study for the purpose of further re- vision. The first attempt of this nature took place this year
325
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
when a committee of teachers devised a minimum spelling list for each grade from one through six.
As a result of the geography course of study, a new series of textbooks was listed and the teaching of geography placed on a better understood and better articulated basis than exist- ed formerly.
Other decided changes of instruction have included the more definite requirements for the study of history in the fifth and sixth grades and the addition of art appreciation to the lower grades.
Testing
The testing program has consisted of the testing of all first grade children, the testing of those children who were under-age for admission to the first grade, and the testing of accomplishment in various fields of English, such as grammar and sentence structure. Of 180 under-age children who took the first grade admission test, 39 were placed in the first grade.
Physical Training
The election of a director and two assistants and the pro- vision of proper places in all three junior high schools for the carrying on of physical training has made possible the exten- sion of this work so that all pupils in the junior high schools are able to receive two years of instruction, at least one period per week.
Music
The addition of several music instructors permitted the organization of this subject to include the study of harmony and appreciation in the high school; and the additional su- pervisor in the elementary schools allowed more frequent visits to the schools. Furthermore, adoption of a course of study is making instruction of music definite and well articulated throughout all grades. One of these new music teachers now organizes the after-school work and the benefit of this direc- tion is shown by the large number of pupils enjoying this type of instruction.
Evening Schools
The report of the Superintendent for last year made men- tion of the desire of a number of students in the Evening High School for instruction in the more difficult academic subjects. Because of the numbers desiring these subjects, this year it has
326
ANNUAL REPORTS
been possible to offer a new course which is called the Scien- tific Course and the additional subjects of Latin, business arithmetic, and United States History.
Health
Two developments concerning the safeguarding of the health of the children in the schools were the decisions on the part of the Board of Health to conduct clinics for diphtheria toxin anti-toxin and to take consideration of the informal re- quest of the School Committee to provide an additional school nurse. Approximately 3,000 children in the first six grades and 75 pre-school children have taken advantage of the opportunity to become inoculated against diphtheria.
Clinics conducted by the Board of Health, such as the Chadwick, the Dental, and the Summer Round-Up, have de- veloped satisfactorily. The addition of the Dental Supervisor to the organization of the Medical Inspector and the School Department employees in the conducting of the Summer Round -- Up made possible a better organization and better care for the 434 children who were examined. We have been un- able as yet to complete our determination of the number of children that received the medical attention that was recom- mended, but there is no question but that the attitude of the parents and their cooperation were much better than a year ago.
So many teachers have called the attention of the Super- intendent to the large number of children having speech de- fects that a survey was undertaken early in this school year to determine the number of such children and the possibility and justification for them to receive instruction. There were found to be approximately 80 children with speech defects of a na- ture serious enough to act as an inhibition in their school work or as a detriment to their social behavior. The subject of speech correction is receiving a great deal of attention at the present time from all school departments and the federal government. It is probable that many failures in school and in business life are a result of complexes or habits developing from remedial defects of speech. Upon completion of the study of this situation, it will doubtless be recommended that instruc- tion be provided for these children.
Safety Education
In conjunction with the representative of the Governor's committee on Safety, the School Department has participated
3275
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
in a thorough examination of the city's need for safety educa. tion. Great care has been taken to make this instruction sig- nificant and vital, and teachers and masters have cooperated. with the safety officer and the Chief of Police in removing so far as possible all hazards in the movement of children to and. from school.
RESEARCH
Last year the Superintendent made a lengthy academic statement concerning the necessity and the importance of con- stant research in education. The amount of research in our schools was indicated and certain recommendations concerning. its extension were made. It seems advisable at this time to keep the matter before you, but, in view of the economic situa- tion, to make no definite proposal for further extension dur- ing the coming year.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of the foregoing report of the stewardship of the. School Committee it would seem that some effort on the part of the School Committee should be expended upon (1) a seri- ous consideration of again urging immediate provision for a replacement of the present antiquated and inadequate Voca- tional School by a modern building and the extension of the work to include real trade instruction for boys of high school ability, (2) a further study of the needs of the Attendance De- partment, and (3) a further study of the commercial curric- ulum with a view to considering the necessity and advisability. of adding a course in economics.
CONCLUSION
The rapid progress being made in the school building pro- gram, the extensive revisions in our courses of study now in operation, and the reports of accomplishment made upon the students who have left our schools and are making excellent progress in higher institutions of learning make it possible to assume that our public schools are continuing to hold to the- high standards of efficiency already attained.
This year has been particularly difficult for parents, teach- ers, and pupils alike, but the progress and happiness of the children on account of the efforts of the teachers have been so noticeable that the Superintendent feels that credit should be publicly acknowledged for the continuance of the fine spirit
328

of cooperation and loyalty which has been applied so devotedly to the interests of the youth.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT W. IRELAND, Superintendent of Schools.
