Report of School Committee.
At the town meeting in March, Mr. Walter L. Chaloner was elected to the School Board, taking the place of Dr. F. E. Sweetsir who has served so long and faithfully.
The Board organized with :
E. L. Jewell, chairman.
E. D. Williams, secretary.
W. L. Chaloner, purchasing agent.
In April, 1910 at the joint meeting of the school com- mittee of Amesbury and Merrimac it was voted to con- tinue the union for the employment of a superintendent, Mr. Fish being re-elected at an increase of $50 per year ; Merrimac's proportion being $650; his time being divided as before. We feel that our schools under Mr. Fish's supervision are doing good work. The business course in the High school is meeting the approval of scholars and parents.
Our Superintendent is anxious to have the course in Sloyd Work for the boys and sewing and cooking for the. girls given a fair trial; his aim is to give the children in our schools something that will be a benefit to them. after they leave school. He believes in a practical edu- cation, and in this respect is receiving the cooperation of your committee.
One thing the committee have done this year which they feel has long been needed. It is having some one in the Plains to enter buildings during the noon time, to
3
SCHOOL REPORT
look after the children who do not go home to dinner.
Arrangements have been made with the janitors of the two buildings to attend to this. The children can now stay in the warm room during the cold weather, and there is some one to see that their conduct is proper. We consider this necessary from a moral as well as a physi- cal standpoint.
A much needed improvement has been made in the Superintendent's office, the appearance of the room and the furniture. The committee have had electric lights installed and newly furnished, and intend to use the room for School Committee meetings in the future.
The school at the Port became so large this year, that it was thought best for the sixth grade children to come to the centre, leaving a school of twenty-five.
The first and second grades have been divided, mak- ing all single grade class rooms at the centre; this nec- essitated another teacher which means $400 a year more expense.
The increase in the number of scholars especially in the High school called for the purchasing of an unusually large number of books, again adding to expense.
One of our largest bills for repairs this year has been the furnaces at the High school building. These had to be taken to pieces and some new parts put in at a cost of $200 or more. It will be necessary to do still more re- pairing next year as it called for too much of an outlay for one year.
The Bear Hill school is a problem. We dislike to close the school because we know how the people in that district feel, but we think it is our duty to do so. The saving in money would not be great if the children were transported to the centre. But there, they would have the advantage of single grade class rooms, the added enthusiasm of larger classes and more time devoted to
,

them by the special teachers. The worst feature of their coming to the centre heretofore has been the noon time, with no one to look out for them but now that has been overcome ..
We do think it unwise to run a school for eight scholars.
After careful consideration the committee ask for the following appropriations :

SCHOOL REPORT
Superintendent's Report.
To the School Committee of Merrimac :---
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted. Your attention is called to the usual statistics required to be filed with the State Board of education and to the enrollment of pupils in the sev- eral grades for the term just closed.
The number of pupils enrolled in the high school is large. Few towns in the state have so large a percent- age of school population in the high school membership. This condition in addition to the fact that few are to go to higher institutions should lead us to consider carefully the nature of the studies as well as the scope and quality of instructions which our high school provides.
While admitting the value of any subject as a means of training when taught by a skillful and enthusiastic teacher, we have no right to allow pupils whose circum- stances permit only a few years in school to elect studies which have little relation to their probable life work and in no way increase their ability to support them- selves. Self-support means self-respect. The works of Benjamin Franklin rather than the works of Jonathan Edwards should furnish the mental pabulum of the youth of today.
I renew the statement which I made in my report last year that we should have a good equipment which will enable us to offer a year's course in Elementary Chemis-
SCHOOL REPORT
try and in Elementary Physics.
We should not offer a thirty-experiment course aim- ing to produce a nice looking note book based on the in- ductive theory and on the presumption that every mem- ber of the class will eventually become an original in- vestigator. We want our boys and girls to have so com- plete and so general a knowledge of these subjects that they can read understandingly the "Scientific Ameri- can" each week and so large an interest that they will desire to do so. These two subjects with the state re- quirements in physiology should comprise all the science work offered in a small high school. If we are to con- tinue to offer instruction in one modern language beside English, the object should be not to read haltingly and with little appreciation some classic but to secure a work- ing knowledge which will enable us at end of two or three years to write a business letter or order a square meal so · that we may be understood. Nor do we want at the end of four years' study and on our first trip abroad to in- form the train guard who questions our right to enter a particular train in which we think we have engaged pas- sage, that we are bethrothed to that train.
The work in English in the average high school has. too much to do with technical English grammar. No teacher of English should be required to correct in detail all the written work of individual pupils. Criticism and correction may generally be given to the class as a whole. but the class should write much. There is no way of learning English composition except to talk, talk, talk and write, write, write. The work in the high school is: assuming more and more a practical aspect. The Com- mercial course proves popular and is well conducted un- der rather unfavorable conditions.
A steam heater of such size as would be required for a small dwelling and piped for direct radiation in the
8
SCHOOL REPORT
halls and in the drawing room would greatly increase the comfort in the high school building and render every part of the building available on the coldest days without forcing the regular heating plant.
The work in the several grade-rooms is greatly ben- efited by the improved organization started last year. There are still many possible improvements in gradation of work but the teachers are working patiently and wise- ly and improvement is noticeable.
Sewing and Sloyd is soon to begin in our schools and I trust that at the close of another year marked improve- ment may be seen in all our schools. Thanking you for many kindnesses and for cordial support,
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES E. FISH,
Superintendent of Schools.

SCHOOL REPORT
Report of Principal of the High School.
To the Superintendent of Schools :-
I submit herewith my annual report on the condition of the High school.
The past year has been in some respects one of the most successful. The work along all lines has been good, and with but, little interruption. In the matter of at- tendance it has been a banner year, and the registration for the present year is by far the largest in the history of the school. The increase in numbers during the last two years, amounting to more than fifty per cent, is not wholly a healthy growth. The last two classes to enter have been somewhat abnormal for the reason suggested in my report a year ago. The increased numbers, to- gether with rather unsatisfactory preparation of many, have added serious burdens to the High school. Our as- sembly-room will seat eighty, and the total registration for the present year is 107. It is, therefore, impossible to have the school together daily. Once a week, for the music period, this is done; but it means something more than bringing in the chairs necessary to accommodate the school. The pupils, however, have been patient and gen- erally helpful in the matter, and results far more satis- factory than might be expected have been attained.
The matter of numbers will gradually right itself,
10
SCHOOL REPORT
but the matter of promotions to the High school should reccive careful attention to the end that neither pupil nor school may suffer by unwise promotions.
The reorganization of the daily program on entirely new lines, which was made possible by a revision of the course of study, has tended to greatly strengthen the work of the school. The change in this respect has been agreeable and helpful to both pupils and teachers. It has also tended to promote good order, the necessary condi- tion of good work.
The introduction of Shorthand and Typewriting a year ago was a most important innovation, and very gratifying results have already been obtained. With the introduction of these subjects, it became necessary to use constantly as a recitation room the room previous- ly used one day a week for the work in drawing. It has been found difficult, and often impossible, to properly heat this room in cold weather. I would, therefore, sug- gest the advisability of installing another furnace to heat the corridors and the room in question. This would great ly facilitate the work of the school, and at the same time remove a serious menace to the health of the pupils. For, in severe weather, the cold corridors, through which the pupils must pass in going to their recitations, are a source of danger. Possibly, too, this might be found to be in the interest of economy ; for it would do away with the neces- sity of forcing beyond their normal capacity the furnaces now in use, and the consequent damage to them, together with the wasteful expenditure of coal in so doing.
I would also recommend the wiring of the building for electric lighting, that light may be available when needed as is often the case during the short days of Winter, also that a current may be had for use in the study of electricity.
The work of drawing has been limited to those who
11
SCHOOL REPORT
wish it and show some interest and aptitude in it, con- sequently there is a marked improvement in the work.
The school is working in excellent spirit. The re- lations between teachers and pupils are most cordial and sympathetic. An excellent degree of enthusiasm pre- vails. The school has never been more responsive to the efforts of the teachers. The results attained so far during the present year are on the whole very satisfactory, and indications point toward even better results for the re- mainder of the year.
In conclusion, I wish to thank you for helpful sug- gestions and through you the School Committee and all others who have in any way contributed to the well-being of the school. ,
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES W. CUTTS.

SCHOOL REPORT
Report of the Supervisor of Music.
To the Superintendent of Schools and School Board of Merrimac :-
Once more the swifty passing seasons bring us to the completion of another year of school work, and we are reminded that a report of our progress in the study of music in the schools of the town is expected. The several grades have been given separate rooms, with competent teachers, and my work has been very much simplified and more successfully carried on by the changes. It is now possible to establish a graded system, and to give the chil- dren just the work that is best adapted to their ages and needs. The interest in the subject continues unabated, and your supervisor really enjoys his weekly visits to the different schools, and judging from the enthusiasm mani- fested by the pupils, the enjoyment is reciprocated by them.
In the first grade very little technical work is ex- pected, but the children are given quite a good deal of practice in scale singing. They are taught many attrac- tive motion songs by a very competent teacher, who evi- dently loves all the bright little busy bodies that come under her care, and in this way a taste for music is im- planted within them that will remain there for all time.
In the second grade a chart is used, and the children are taught to read music in a number of keys; they are also taught the letters of the lines and spaces of the staff.
13
SCHOOL REPORT
They learn many rote songs, and a few simple melodies are put opon the blackboard for them to master by note. As in every grade, the pupils are required to sing the scales in as many ways as possible.
The third grade is given song books, and it requires several months of practice to teach the pupils how to fol- low closely the notes and words so that they may be able to learn the melodies by their own exertions. Here they are taught the time language and the beating of time in the simpler forms.
The fourth and fifth grades are the ones that are used for the real study of rhythm, and visitors would be quite surprised at some of the time work that is being accomplished in these rooms under their instructors. The pupils are also taught all the keys, and some attention is given to the study of the chromatic scale. The practice in the sharps and flats is continued in the sixth grade, as well as thorough work in time. Here three part sing- ing is done very nicely, and much individual sight read- ing is : equired of the pupils.
The work of the seventh grade is largely the study of three and four part music, and it is here that the most satisfactory singing of the grammar grades is heard, much attention to expression and proper use of the voice being given-in fact a general rounding out of the study of music thus far.
The eighth is used largely as a preparatory grade for work in the High school, the boys being given much practice in singing from the bass clef, and the girls given many points that will make them of more value for fu- ture work.
The membership of the High school is larger than ever before, and not a little inconvenience is found in seat- ing them for practice, but the results are very gratifying, and I am quite confident that future appearances in pub-
14
SCHOOL REPORT
lic will show increased interest and excellence, notwith- standing the very favorable record of the pupils in the past.
My thanks are due to the teachers for faithful work and co-operation; to the Superintendent and School Board for needed supplies, and courteous treatment at all times.
Respectfully, W. E. HARTWELL, Supervisor of Music.

SCHOOL REPORT
Report of Supervisor of Drawing.
Mr. Charles E. Fish, Superintendent of Schools :-
Dear Sir: Our course in drawing, design and hand- icraft, in the Merrimac public schools is very much the same as that given in other towns and cities in Massachu- setts.
As I have been here half a year, the drawing report will cover the work that has been done during that time.
The work finished in September and October con- sisted of lessons in color and drawing from available plants and fruit. The rest of the fall term was taken up with constructive design and structural drawing. Mot- toes and bookmarks were made to teach the pupils to make good letters and to space them well.
Thanksgiving and Christmas were observed by pic- torial drawings, constructing candy boxes, simple gifts, and making Christmas decorations.
This winter term is being devoted to object drawing. The children in the first four grades are making pictures of toys, common and familiar objects, and silhouettes. In the last four grades they are learning about picture mak- ing, foreshortening and convergence. In the grammar grades about one third of the time devoted to drawing during this term is spent on pose work.
I believe the work in the High school is arranged as in previous years, free-hand drawing elected by the girls and mechanical drawing by the boys. The classes in drawing are in five divisions : 1 Freshmen Boys. 2 Fresh-
16
SCHOOL REPORT
men Girls, 3. Sophomore Boys, 4. Sophomore, Junior and Senior Girls, 5. Junior Boys. The work in the High school is running smoothly and the results in draw- ing are favorable ..
Under the present arrangement all rooms from the first through the seventh grade are visited once in two. weeks by the supervisor with the exception of the Bear Hill and Merrimacport schools that are visited once a. month. The eighth grade in the High school building is visited each week.
The teachers are doing excellent work, holding the interest of the pupils and obtaining some excellent re- sults. All are following the drawing outline given to them by the supervisor.
In closing, I wish to thank you, the principals and all the teachers for your suggestions and help as the suc- cess of the drawing course is due in a large measure to your hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MAZIE HENDERSON MURRAY,
Supervisor of Drawing.

SCHOOL REPORT
Report of the School Physician.
. 'To the School Board of the Town of Merrimac :-
During the past year we have been particularly for- tunate as regards any serious epidemics of disease in our schools.
What few cases of diphtheria we have had have been of a mild type and no fatalities.
They have been widely scattered and have been con- fined to the houses where they made their appearance.
According to the state law the committee have in- structed the children to use private drinking cups.
If this source of contagion be removed, it is import- ant that each parent shall instruct their children to use their own cups and not to drink from that of any other child, which they do more or less at the present time.
· While at present we have no scarlet fever, I am in- formed that there is quite a little of this disease in Ha- verhill, and when it is only six miles away with our travel back and forth in the electric cars, we are almost sure to have this dreaded disease with us this Spring.
The contagion of diphtheria, scarlet fever and meas- les as well as other serious infections can be very easily and rapidly spread in this way, and it is no flight of fancy to say that there is real danger, that your child or mine, . when innocently taking a drink of water, may drink a fatal poison.
Of course the drinking fountain is the best and safest,
18
SCHOOL REPORT
method of overcoming this difficulty, but in the Center school, where there is no cellar, and no heated halls, the building where there are the most children, it is not prac- tical to install, because of freezing.
These are also expensive to install, and also as to large amounts of water running to waste.
There has been the usual number of head lice and one case of what seemed to be a gynococeic infection from closets.
