Douglas Memorial High School Report
February 1, 1930
Mr. A. B. Garcelon, Superintendent of Schools:
In looking over the high school situation we have much to be thankful for and, of course, much to be desired. We are thankful for a corps of efficient teachers and for a loyal, ambitious, industrious and orderly student body. We are proud of the continued success of our graduates in Annapolis, Simmons, Brown, Worcester Polytech- nic, and in other institutions. A report from the Chairman of the Committee on Admission at Worcester Polytechnic Institute says of the record of our candidate there, "This is a most creditable record, showing good preparation by you and giving excellent promise for the future." Another report reads, "From what Dean Mason of Brown University told me, we feel that any pupil prepared under your direction stands a better chance with examination than in Rhode Island."
We appreciate the prompt attention to any need for books and supplies, and the still more important support always given by Superintendent and Committee in critical situations. We heartily thank parents for their co-operation in matters of discipline. When we go up Depot Street to school, Architecture makes its appeal through the dignity and beauty of our high school building; and inside, in the midst of our arduous labors, we are continually re- freshed and stimulated by all that science and art have done to equip and beautify the modern school room.
For all this we are thankful, but there is one outstanding need to make complete our high school equipment. That is a gymnasium. Physical training is the indispensable complement to mental training. The need for it becomes more and more insistent as more and more people leave high school with bodies stoop-shouldered and otherwise deformed, with their minimum or maximum of brain development for that age, but little or no muscular development; and worst of
15
all, with no habits of regular exercise. The gymnasium is not merely a place to play basketball in; it is the place for that muscular devel- opment of the body, through daily practice by every boy and girl, under the direction of teachers, to form habits of regular exercise so essential in this modern world where the occupation and "soft living" of the typical high school or college graduate often kills him before middle life for lack of such habits.
The total enrollment in the High School this year is 82, ten more than last year. Thirty-six of these are boys. Three boys and eight girls have left school, leaving the present enrollment 71.
The great need for a special teacher of commercial subjects was supplied, and both Mr. Hamblin and his successor, Mr. Dawley, proved very efficient in organizing and carrying on that depart- ment. The interest in commercial subjects is shown by the orderly industry and application of the eight boys and sixteen girls taking those subjects. Two of these girls are post-graduates. The classes in this department, with the number of pupils in each, are as follows :
Introductory Business (Commercial Arithmetic), 8. Bookkeeping, 6. Stenography, 9. Typewriting, 20. Commercial Law, 8.
Mr. Dawley also teaches a class of seven Freshmen in General Science. It is strongly advocated by the State Board of Education that all Freshmen take this course, but if a candidate for college takes it, he finds himself, in his Junior or Senior year, short of units for admission for the better colleges. No Freshmen or Sophomores should be allowed to take more than four major subjects, and very few Juniors or Seniors are capable of it; the wise thing for possible candidates for college, therefore, is to take Ancient History in the Freshman year instead of General Science. The result of our advice to the more ambitious students was a very small class in General Science this year.
The work is distributed in the other departments as follows:
Miss Fister
Freshman Latin, 17 Cæsar, 13 Virgil, 4 Sophomore French, 18 Junior French, 12 Senior French, 13
Miss Martin
Freshman English, 24 Sophomore English, 18 Junior and Senior English, 27 Ancient History, 20 Modern History, 20
16
Mr. Holmes
Freshman Algebra, 16 Plane Geometry, 13 Junior and Senior Algebra, 14 Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, 5 Physics, 9
Only four of the Freshman girls take Domestic Science, and only three boys take Manual Training. Lack of interest in these sub- jects in the High School is due, of course, to the many other strong courses built up by the four regular teachers. This presents the problem of whether the very efficient work of the teachers of Domes- tic Science and Manual Training might better be extended in the grades. I would urge that more time in the future, if possible, be spent teaching Mechanical Drawing in the High School by Mr. Mil- ler, who at present gives two periods a week for a group of 14 Junior and Senior boys.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the enthusiasm, skill and devo- tion of our present teacher of free-hand drawing, Mr. Andre, and as ever, of our music teacher, Miss King.
There are thirteen in the graduating class this year, of whom four or five will soon apply for admission to classical or technical colleges. The action of the Alumni Association in the promised award of a scholarship of one hundred fifty dollars to the most deserving graduate, is to be gratefully acknowledged.
A gratifying innovation in our school life is the Owlet, our school newspaper. It displays the energy and enthusiasm of both our English teacher, Miss Martin, who coaches the budding journal- istic talent in her English classes, and of Mr. Dawley, whose depart- ment publishes the paper.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. HOLMES,
Principal.

Report of Supervisor of Music
Mr. A. B. Garcelon, Superintendent of Schools, E. Douglas, Mass .: MY DEAR MR. GARCELON :
With the hearty co-operation of the teachers, the work of the Music Department in East Douglas has generally made progress.
Last May we held an exhibition day at the elementary school building on Main Street. Beginning with the first grade, each class filed into the sixth grade room and in a small way endeavored to show what we tried to accomplish.
The first grade sang its songs, and read at sight the simple exercises placed upon the blackboard.
Grade II sang songs a little more difficult, and read at sight exercises of a more difficult nature.
Grade III gave an exhibition of the rhythm orchestra, as well as showing the technical problems of music reading in this grade.
Grade IV showed the beginning of chromatics and of two part music.
Grade V read and sang music having more advanced chro- matics and two part music.
Grade VI sang music having more difficult time problems and three part music.
The Rhythmic Orchestras have been used in the first three grades. Every child is given an opportunity to have a part. The sense of rhythm seems to be lacking in most children, and by the use of these instruments we are developing this phase of the work.
The Girls' Glee Club meets regularly every Monday night, and sang at the graduation as well as on several other occasions.
The High School Orchestra has done its best work this year. More advanced music and of a higher type has been studied and played. They also have appeared in public on several occasions, graduation. Senior class play, at a picture given by the Legion, on Armistice Day, etc.
At the conference called by the State Department of Education, the supervisors of music were urged to promote Music Appreciation by giving the best music. This, of course, is more difficult than the lighter type of music, but as we "Learn to do by doing," so the pupils become more familiar with the better things by trying to sing them. It is a well known fact that the harder we have to work for anything the more we appreciate it. This is true also in music.
It has been the aim of this department to give to the pupils something worthwhile to carry out into life with them, and to have at this graduation, etc., such music as will measure up and compare favorably with the music on any similar program given in any town.
Respectfully submitted, ALMA L. KING.

Report of Supervisor of Drawing
Mr. A. B. Garcelon,
DEAR SIR :
This report, covering only the work of my five months service as Supervisor of drawing must necessarily seem incomplete. It, there- fore, seems advisable at the start to give a rather detailed statement of the position which drawing and the allied arts play in our public schools. These ideas shape themselves into a definite policy which I intend to incorporate in my supervision and teaching.
SUPERVISOR'S DUTY IN GENERAL
The American public school system exists to prepare boys and girls for good and useful citizenship. Drawing, manual training and domestic science as subjects in our curriculum, form a vital factor in this preparation. We recognise the fact that the great majority of the children in our schools today will shortly become bread-winners, and they will have to work with their hands. It is our duty to teach each child to work, and in so far as the home neglects this part of the child's training, it is for the school to take it up and carry it to completion. Education must exalt the dignity of labor; it must es- tablish habits of industry; it must give the ability to apply one's self to the problem in hand; it must meet the demands for accurate and skillful work.
COURSE OF STUDY
Drawing construction and design are not special subjects, but a necessary part of a well organized course of study. In the element- ary schools, only the rudiments of the arts can be taught, such as the beginnings of freehand drawing, simple forms of constructive work, and problems in design which relate to common things. In the high school, the work broadens out and finds freer expression in the more mature minds of the pupils. In teaching, we must choose between a course planned for the few who have what is commonly called "talent," and a course adapted to the majority of children who are without special ability.
IDEALS AND RESULTS
Our ideals in teaching should be to progress in the training of the pupil from year to year and from month to month. The object is not to get perfect results, but to train the senses, the mind, and the hand to work together. "Our most important results are not in things produced but in lives that have been helped to find and use to the best good of the greatest number, every power that they pos- sess." Our real results can only be seen when the children of today have taken from us the active responsibilities of men and women.
GENERAL AIMS
In presenting drawing we have two broad aims, cultural and industrial, for drawing not only develops appreciation, but power
21
of expression as well. The fact that learning to draw is learning to see, promotes close observation, resulting in clear mental images. Drawing thus becomes a tool with which to think. A child does not set forth ideas perfectly formed, but perfects them in the very act of setting them forth. To the man engaged in any form of con- structive work, drawing affords an opportunity for endless experi- ment. Results obtained with the pencil mean almost as much as manipulation of actual material. Now is the development of taste less important than is the acquisition of skill in expression.
Art is not merely a subject to be studied in the studio or museum; it exists in all our surroundings. An art education should enable the student to meet any set of conditions in the finest man- ner possible. "Art is not representation; art is the best way of doing one's work." We aim at order and hope for beauty.
MY POLICY
These thoughts which have been dealt with at length form the underlying principles of my policy for the teaching of arts. With these in mind I have outlined the work each month, designing from nature claimed our attention in September and October, a training in color followed for the November work, and was continued in December as a means of observing landscape and nature. These observations found expression in the making of snow scenes.for Christmas folders and cards. In our mid-winter work we come back again to the more strictly pictorial side of drawing. For, of course, drawing was, according to the old ideas, and always will be, an im- portant form of language, which it is possible for all intelligent boys and girls to acquire.
SPECIAL DUTIES OF SUPERVISOR
The duties of the supervisor include not only the planning of each lesson throughout the year, but the making out of a complete list of supplies, the keeping of various records, and the regular visits to the grades. Drawing is an elective subject in the high school and offers courses in mechanical, commercial and applied design, with some cartoon and illustration work. I hope later to add a com- plete and conclusive course in Art appreciation.
PROGRESS
As to the results of drawing in the grades, the right attitude of the room teacher is absolutely essential, and to this, progress in the work is largely due. I am indeed grateful for the cooperation of my fellow teachers here and especially to those who are beginning to realize the importance of Art in correlation with their regular classroom subjects.
FINAL REMARKS
In a measure this work has been successful but there is much to be achieved and this can be accomplished only through the organ- . ized efforts of all the pupils, teachers and parents. I am grateful for the finer friendships and opportunity this community has given me and as a tribute to these vital elements I pledge my best and most sincere efforts. My one ambition is to elevate the taste for bet- ter posture, better work and better lives.
Respectfully submitted,
H. L. ANDREA.

Report of Domestic Science Teacher
FOODS
We have worked on the meal plan in our food classes. Inasmuch as time allowed we developed a meal in a lesson. Where the lesson was too long for a period we completed the meal by a series of lessons.
During approaching holidays we deviated from the regular course by making sandwiches, salads, candies, cookies, and puddings appropriate to the holiday.
Co-operation has been greatly stressed. The class represented a "family," the pupil a member of that "family." This plan would tend to make the student more helpful at home, and become more co-operative in home responsibilities.
CLOTHING
To create a love for sewing has been my main objective. We started our course with a single pincushion which was interesting in color and design as well as useful and decorative.
As much as it seemed practical I allowed a student to use per- sonal taste in color and selection of articles she wished to make. There has been some very attractive work done in these five months. Cush- ions, pocket-books, and flowers made of felt work bags. Cooking aprons, pajamas, slips, and gowns were some of the articles made. The student was allowed to proceed according to her ability rather than her age or grade.
I am most grateful for the co-operation I have received from fellow-teachers and from Mr. Garcelon.
Respectfully submitted,
ROSE PERKINS SHAFFER,
Supervisor of Home Economics.

Report of Instructor in Manual Training
Mr. A. B. Garcelon, Superintendent of Schools, East Douglas, Mass.
MY DEAR MR. GARCELON :
Following is my report as Instructor in Manual Training, Mechanical Drawing, and Coach of Athletics at Douglas High School.
In Manual Training, I have forty-eight pupils, six high school freshmen, twenty eighth grade and twenty-two seventh grade pupils. These are divided into four classes on Thursdays, the first class starting at eight-thirty and ending at ten o'clock when the second class starts, and this ends at eleven thirty. The seventh grade class- es are divided into two groups and start at one-thirty and end at three-thirty, having one hour for each group.
The fundamentals of Manual Training are taken up, consisting of neatness in work, how tools should be used and their care, and the different types of construction.
A great deal of interest is being shown by the pupils for their work, as can be seen from the results which they obtain. They have the privilege of choosing any project which they desire to make. This is one of the reasons why there is so much interest.
The equipment is of the best and is in good condition. For good glue joints, clamps are needed. That is one thing that is lacking. I hope in time that we will be able to have these.
I wish that there was some way in which we could interest the parents in visiting the Manual Training room. I am sure that they would be interested to know what their boys are doing.
MECHANICAL DRAWING
I have twelve seniors in a class that starts at twelve-fifteen and ends at one-thirty. Being the first time that Mechanical Drawing has been taught I have started from the first steps and taken each lesson briefly, and have progressed rapidly. The students take a great deal of interest in the work, making progress steady. I hope to be able to touch on all of the principal parts of Mechanical Draw- ing by the end of the year.
24
I do wish that we had larger drawing boards and T-squares and hope to obtain them if possible. I also hope that more time can be given to drawing in the future and that more boys will be able to take it.
ATHLETICS
The football season was a success considering its first attempt. The boys who came out and played gave everything they had and thereby produced a team to be proud of. Of the five games played, two were won and three lost. The three games that were lost was the cause of lack of substitutes, only two being available. Neverthe- less, it was a team of fighting spirit and they did well.
At the opening of the basketball season prospects were not so bright. However, a team was soon developed. Owing to the late start it was rather difficult to arrange a schedule. In its first game Douglas defeated the strong Southbridge team by two points. Next came the Alumni and Douglas was beaten by a few points. A game was then arranged with Worcester Trade in Douglas. The boys played wonderful, and after a game but futile struggle lost by two points. In the return game at Worcester, Trade on its own floor out- played Douglas. The Trade gym is one of the largest in New Eng- land. The following week Douglas got into the win column again and defeated Ashland High at Ashland. Without any mishaps Douglas should win its remaining games because of its fighting spirit.
Prospects are also bright for a good baseball season.
