Closely related to structural drawing is manual training introduced this year, through the generous gift mentioned in the report of the Superintendent of Schools. Manual training gives opportunity for the third and final step of carrying out a plan which first has been thought out, and secondly represented by a drawing ; it gives the pupil a chance to apply what he has learned with a use- ful result ; and it gives skill of hand, ability to do.
The work necessarily began slowly, so that any ac- count of it would better appear in the next annual report. The general plan is not to do sewing, cooking, or carpen- try, all of which involve large expense for instruction, tools, and materials, but to connect the subject with the drawing after this manner: The pupil makes a drawing to represent his idea of some object that he wishes to make ; as, a thread winder, a calendar, a lamp mat, a basket, a bread board, a candle stick, and so on. This idea includes not only the form and structure, but the decoration of the object also. Then with cardboard. scissors and glue ; with reeds, plain and colored raffia ; with a jack knife, a nail shaped into a chasing tool, and a hammer ; with wire, pliers, and binders ; or with what- ever little tool the case requires the pupil proceeds to produce the finished article. All of this is done in the regular school room under the regular teacher.
The aim is to adapt this work to the special needs of the town, to prepare the boys and girls to be more pro-
220
ductive citizens. In no other way does it seem that large or small contributions could be used to more ad- vantage than for material to carry on this work, for which there is a small though constant expense. Two or three dollars will provide a class of fifty with enough wood, iron or other material for several weeks' work, from which they will gain both an invaluable training and some tangible material results.
An exhibition of photographs from the Soule Art Company was held in the Methodist Church, February 26th to March Ist inclusive. Our thanks are due to the many prominent townspeople, who together with the teachers and pupils of the central schools, worked so earnestly for the success of this exhibit. The proceeds were spent for pictures for the school room walls, a list of which appears in the appendix. A few pictures have been added through the efforts of teachers and pupils, independently of this, as follows:
South Attleboro, The Shepherdess-Lerolle.
Robinson, Sistine Madonna-Raphael.
Robinson, Knitting Shepardess-Millet.
In June. a collection of drawings illustrating the year's work was sent to Mr. Bailey, the State Supervisor of Drawing, at his request, for exhibition purposes.
At the time of the Teachers' Institute here, October Ist, and the succeeding day, an exhibition of drawing was held, showing all the kinds of work done throughout the different grades and the High School.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Mr. William P. Kelly, Superintendent of Schools :
In my present report I will state briefly what has been accomplished during the past year in the physical training department.
I. At the beginning of the year with the help of the janitors I personally adjusted all the adjustable furniture in the town. Where there is stationary furniture of different sizes in the same room, I saw that as far as pos- sible each pupil was assigned to a seat and desk that fitted him.
2. An easy direct method of filing in and out of the school buildings was introduced for the purpose of fire drills or outdoor gymnastic work.
3. Exercises bringing in the use of school furniture as gymnastic apparatus have been introduced with pleas- ing results. Running and jumping exercises for the de- velopment of circulatory, respiratory and nerve power have also been introduced as part of the indoor work. The corridors at the Richardson School building are used to splendid advantage for this active work.
4. The motion songs which form part of the course in physical culture in the primary grades, have formed the subject for language, cutting, and creative work, which, together with music, words and motions, have an all-round educational value.
The teachers' physical culture class, whose evening meetings come once each week, has proved a great
benefit to them and to me, not only physically but so- cially also.
A new outdoor game called Curtain Ball has been introduced at Sanford Street School and the necessary sixty foot curtain provided. Basket Ball has been suc- cessfully started at Briggs Corner School.
The teachers have recognized the necessity of joyful physical activity as part of each pupil's regular school work, and have noted also the improvement the children show in their mental work after such activity.
One of the important observations which I have made is the mouth breathing among our school children, and also the inability to hear well on the part of many children who have chronic colds. The health and com- fort of many children are impaired by such things as adenoid growths, which can be removed; by defective eyesight, which can be corrected ; and by other causes, which could be remedied by proper medical treatment. Since these defects are more noticeable while children are at work than when at play about home, some means should be provided in the school for detecting these un- healthy conditions.
I wish to repeat the recommendations contained in my last report, and to emphasize the necessity of re- establishing the recess period in the Grammar grades.
I wish to thank the committee, Superintendent, and teachers for the earnest interest and support they have given me during the past year.
Respectfully,
CHRISTINA J. CARRET.

Conclusion.
It has been a pleasure to review the year's progress which seemed so slow in the making as almost to be no progress at all, and an equal pleasure to herald the needs of the future, with confidence in local spirit of progress to which the appeal comes.
224
The past year witnessed :
I. Better wages for successful teachers.
2. Higher proportion of teachers with special preparation.
3. Systematic home reading by pupils under school influence.
4. The Public Library made effective for the whole town through the medium of the schools.
5. Industrial training begun.
6. School room decorations of great artistic value added.
7. Especial impetus in several departments of teaching.
The needs for the immediate future are :
I. An adequate building for the High School.
2. A small fund to continue the industrial training.
I cannot close this report without expressing my thanks to the committee, and to the faithful force of teachers, janitors, and officers, who by their united efforts have made the work of the past year so satisfactory.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM P. KELLY.
