It is claimed that the development of motor centres in the brain hinges in a great degree on the movements and exer- cises of youth. If this be true, it will be readily perceived how essential it is to insist on early exercise of the hand, if our industrial superiority is to be maintained.
The nascent or development period of the hand has not yet been accurately determined, but there can be no doubt that its most active epoch is from the fourth to the fifteenth year, after which these centres become comparatively fixed and stubborn. Therefore it can be understood that boys and girls whose hands are left altogether untrained up to the fifteenth year are practically ever afterwards incapable of high manual efficiency. Hence we can comprehend how, by keeping our children without hand-training, by keeping them in school up to that age, poring over books, by cramming them with arith- metic and geography, while their hands hang lax and feeble, and their fingers grow stiff and clumsy, by withholding from them timely exercise in handicraft, we shall be doing our best to abolish the skill of our next generation of workers, to say nothing about their weakened and diminished mental activi- ties.
The form of Manual Training usually adopted for girls, aside from drawing and modeling, is that of sewing and cook-
21
ing, the value of which I think is well understood and cannot be over-estimated.
For boys it is systematic work, with tools in wood, metal, etc., to which the term Sloyd is applied.
The use of Sloyd is the development of the mental, moral, and physical forces of the child. It belongs to Formative Ed- ucation, and its aim is :-
"1. To instill a taste for, and a love of labor in general.
"2. To inspire a respect for honest bodily labor. 1
"3. To develop independence and self-reliance.
"4. To train in habits of order, exactness, clearness and neatness.
"5. To train the eye and sense of form. To develop touch, and to give a general dexterity of hand.
"6. To accustom the pupil to attention, industry, patience, and perseverance.
"7. To promote the development of the physical powers.
"8. To give some ability in the use of tools, and to execute exact work."
Froebel's great work was not the stifling of the natural inclinations, but the nourishing and proper directing of them in order that they might tend to be constructive rather than destructive, and so be utilized for educational purposes.
Neither should we stifle children's activity, but rather stimulate it, and set it coursing along those channels which lead to habits of industry.
It has been said, "The child is father of the man, and if we would eliminate the drones and parasites from society, we must teach children not only to work, but to love work."
It would require volumes to say all that might be said upon this subject, but I will simply add that I believe it to be worthy of the wisest and most careful consideration.
REPAIRS.
Considerable has been done in the line of permanent re- pairs during the past year. At the Park school, new floors were laid in four rooms; the old double desks were replaced by new adjustable seats and desks of the most modern design;
22
the inside of the building was thoroughly painted and kalso- mined ; the outside, including the fence and out-buildings, re- ceived one coat of paint, and the roof was shingled, all at an expense of $1309.58.
Both buildings at the Plains received one coat of paint and the roof of the small building was shingled.
The Bear Hill and Purchase Grammar buildings were both kalsomined and painted upon the inside, and refitted with single desks cut over from such of the old double desks as were suitable, and the tops smoothed and varnished, at an expense of about fifty cents each. These rooms are now neat and at- tractive, whereas before they were not only dingy and gloomy, but the desks were so badly cut and defaced that they were unfit for use, and disgraceful to any school room.
There are other double desks in town that I think might well be made into single desks, to take the place of the poorer double desks.
Over $170 was laid out at the High school building in enlarging and fitting up a room for the stenography and type- writing department, and for one new out-building.
Other minor repairs were made, including a new fence up- on both sides of the Hoboken school yard.
The total expenditure for repairs was $2206.97; the sum appropriated was $2000.
NEEDED REPAIRS.
The outside of the Park building was found to be very dry and the paint badly crackled. In order to put it in good condition it should have another coat of paint the coming sum- mer. The same is true of the buildings at the Plains.
At the Claflin building the paint is all off in places. It should have two coats of paint the coming season. The finish upon the inside of this building is in the natural wood, and should have at least one coat of varnish. I would also recom- mend removing the platforms at the rear of the rooms, and the consideration of new adjustable single desks.
The Bear Hill and Purchase Grammar buildings should both be painted upon the outside.
23
The West street building must be shingled, and others need to be.
Considerable must be done to the heating appliances. The fire-pots of both furnaces at the South School are cracked,- one entirely around, and the other nearly. These must be re- placed before another fall.
I believe something should be done to increase the effi- ciency of the heating system at the Park school, as at present very unsatisfactory results are obtained for the amount of fuel consumed.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I recommend for your consideration :-
That the Park School building be given another coat of paint.
That the treads to the stairs of the same be re-laid, and whatever else that may be necessary to put the building in thorough repair.
That the Claflin and at least one smaller building be painted.
That the long platforms in each room at the Claflin be re- moved; that the inside finish of the building be varnished; that the double desks be replaced by single ones if possible, and that the Committee consider some better method of heating and ventilating the same.
That various and sundry repairs be made as needed.
Again I recommend, as last year, that the town be re- quested to purchase a small strip of land upon the southerly side of the West street school lot for the purpose of moving the out-buildings further from the school.
That if possible there be some way provided for relieving the crowded condition of the first-grade room at the Plains and at the West street.
That the teachers' salary list be revised and increased, but that the increase be based upon the nature and quality of instruction and the value of the individual as a teacher, rather than upon length of service.
24
That Manual Training be introduced as a part of the school course, and that the old Town House building be fitted up for that purpose.
That steps be taken towards the introduction of the Kin- dergarten in the near future.
I also recommend the appropriation of the following amounts for the expenses of the School Department for the current year :-

$31,400 00
In making the above recommendations which call for an increased appropriation, I have not been unmindful of the val- uation of the town and its business condition, nor of the al- ready seemingly high tax rate. Neither have I been unmind- ful of the welfare of our boys and girls, nor of what seems to me to be the best educational interests of the town.
I am aware that money for school purposes has been will- ingly appropriated in the past, and I have no reason to doubt that it will be in the future, providing a careful and judicious use is made of it, and this the tax-payers have a right to ex- pect and demand.
A town is judged somewhat by its schools. Good schools taught by conscientious and inspiring teachers who love the children and understand the true meaning of education, tend to elevate the moral tone of society, and thus make a town more desirable as a place of residence as well as for its educa- tional advantages.

SCHOOL WORK.
No radical changes have been made during the year, but somewhat of a conservative and cautious policy has been fol- lowed. While progress has been made in several directions, much that we had planned to do and much that we can see to do, remains undone.
The course in Arithmetic has been improved and strength- ened throughout, by teaching many of the advanced subjects in a more elementary manner in lower grades; by suggesting more rational methods, and by planning for much mental and supplementary work.
Algebra was taught in the ninth grade during the latter part of the last school year with success and with very satis- factory results. The pupils seemed to enjoy it, and took up the subject in the High school in September more readily be- cause of it.
A more business-like method of teaching Book-keeping has been adopted, school currency and merchandise being fur- nished and the pupils afforded an opportunity to buy and sell merchandise, and to pay and receive cash, thus making their accounts real, rather than fictitious. This method, if properly conducted, is interesting to the pupils. It will arouse much enthusiasm, and give them some practical knowledge of the subject.
A more rational method in Geography is slowly gaining ground. Several teachers are doing excellent work in this subject, while others are improving. It is yet in the embryo, however, but I hope to see it bud and blossom.
Dictionaries have been furnished to all pupils in the Gram- mar schools above the fourth grade.
The American Word Book has taken the place of the Worcester Speller in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, and Sheldon's Word Book replaced it in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.
The Duntonian system of vertical writing was adopted for trial in September, 1897. During that school year it was used in the Spruce street and Claflin schools, and was looked upon so favorably by the teachers of those schools, owing to its
26
simplicity in form of letters and spacing, as compared with the Educational system, that last September it was put into the Chapin street and West street schools, also into the sixth grade at the Park. I should recommend its replacing the Ed- ucational system in all the schools in town at the beginning of another school year.
During the past year I have been convinced that our Grammar and Primary schools need the services of our Music teacher more than the High school. In view of this I have ar- ranged for her to spend the whole time for which she is em- ployed in the schools below the High school, while in the lat- ter the Music will be in charge of the principal.
Quite an outlay has been made for Drawing supplies, such as water-color paints, brushes, colored crayon, paper and other material. In general very satisfactory work is being done in drawing.
In several schools I have seen some remarkably good brush work, both in ink and water colors. In the upper grades some excellent work has been done in designing. Recently the eighth and ninth-grade pupils entered into a contest for a design for the cover of this report. The results surpassed our expectations. So many of them possessed such merit that it was difficult to decide which was the best. The decision was left with three competent judges, two of whom are artists.
In connection with this report will be found the reports of the principal of the High school and the Music teacher, an outline of the work in Drawing, a summary of 1898 school laws pertaining to children, and various other items that may be of interest.
In closing this report I wish to thank the teachers and parents for their co-operation, and the Committee for their continued confidence and support.
Respectfully submitted,
C. W. HALEY,
Superintendent of Schools.
Report of the High School Principal.
To C. W. HALEY, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: The number of pupils attending the High school at the present time is larger than has been the case for many years. And of the last two entering classes an unusually small percentage left school during the first half year. This apparent increased interest in the school work I attribute very largely to the increased facilities afforded by the revised course of study adopted by the Committee two years ago.
Our experience with the present course indicates that very little, if any, change is desirable in the outline ; but in order to realize satisfactory results of our efforts decided and radical changes in the equipment of the school appear to be necessary. In examining the old records of the school I find that thirty or forty years ago the town expended several hundred dollars for the purchase of physical apparatus. And I find no evidence of any expenditure for this purpose since that time, except trifling amounts recently. As a result we have practically no appliances to assist in the proper study of Physics, Physiolo- gy, Botany and Physical Geography.
Maps and charts are needed for Physical Geography ; mi- croscopes, microtomes, slides, etc., are needed for Botany; bones and models are needed for Physiology ; and a large list of ap- paratus for individual work in Physics is needed.
Our Drawing room should be fitted up in a more attrac- tive and artistic manner. As it is at present there is little to arouse the artistic sense in the pupil, or to stimulate a love for the beautiful. Photographs of famous pictures should be placed in all the rooms, together with larger reproductions, casts and models. I believe it would also be well to frame and preserve in the school any strikingly good productions of the pupils.
28
A few more reference books in History will enable us to carry out the laboratory method of studying History fairly well.
The success of our Commercial Course is becoming more and more apparent and must necessarily be recognized as one of the best features in our school. In Shorthand the class can now (Feb. 1,) take dictation at the rate of seventy-five words a minute, and all have some very creditable specimens of type- written work to show to anyone who may visit the school.
The record for attendance and punctuality is far from sat- isfactory, although there has been some improvement. Our efforts in this direction will be continued with increased ener- gy, with the hope of a larger spirit of co-operation on the part of parents and pupils.
Respectfully submitted,
A. E. TUTTLE.
Report of Music Teacher.
To C. W. HALEY, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Dear Sir: The study of Music in the Milford schools dur- ing the past year has been on the same plan as formerly.
We have had no new music except for the High school.
After sufficient study of the choruses in the cantata of "Esther," a public rehearsal was given in Town Hall, May thirteenth. The school was assisted by several of the best singers in town, who sang the solos. The attendance was not as large as was desired, and at the request of several who were present, the performance was repeated in the Congregational church to a crowded house. The accompaniments were played by a pianist and four violinists from the school, assist- ed by Mrs. H. A. Brown as organist, and the whole perform- ance would have been highly creditable to older and more ex- perienced musicians. At present the High school is studying "The Wreck of the Hesperus," words by Longfellow, music by Anderton.
Below can be found the time of my visits to each school, where I should be much pleased to meet the parents and friends of the pupils :-
