liness in connection with our games, and I respectfully urge that this be done at once before the beginning of the base- ball season. It is to be regretted that the girls were not able to find a suitable hall in which to play basket ball, and were thus deprived of any active share in the school athletics. The modern high school needs a gymnasium in connection with it fully as much as the modern college, and what college could maintain its prestige today without having some gymnasium open to its pupils? This may be a long step to consider, but I wish we might begin to think about it in Milford.
I desire to strongly emphasize the importance of the re- port cards which are issued at the end of every eight weeks of school. They will be sent on or about the following dates: October 29, December 24, February 26, April 30, and June 25. It is the wish of the teachers that the parents should regard these of great importance, and make it a point not only to see them, but to scrutinize them closely and confer with the principal and teachers about them. It has been proved re- peatedly that a parent and teacher working together and in consultation can bring a pupil to the proper attitude toward his studies.
The work of a school cannot be measured in words, but in the character and the fitness for work of the young men and women which it sends out. That our pupils may meas- ure up to high standards, and be found not wanting in the es- sentials of good citizenship, is my ardent wish.
Most grateful recognition is due from me to my fellow teachers for their unstinted aid. I believe it seldom falls to. the lot of a high school principal to work with a corps of teachers so harmonious in their relations and so untiring in their zeal.

Report of Music Teacher.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Dear Sir :- Marked enthusiasm has been apparent in our work in music this year, a very gratifying introduction of the Weaver System - being the cause. This system aims to per- fect, particularly the singing of exercises and songs at sight. All systems must necessarily have small beginnings and our work has been notably successful in the lower grades.
Many teachers heartily endorse this system and this in itself is as strong a recommendation as a practical system could have.
In order that a more comprehensive idea of the work may be formed, I submit the entire course of study.
Grade One. The major scale as a rote song-then with syllables and numbers. Staff reading of all the scale tones. The first time motion. The representation and names of the line, space, staff, G clef, bar, measure. The quarter, half, dotted half and whole notes. Rote songs. Individual sing- ing.
Grade Two. Staff reading of all scale tones. Rote songs. Individual singing. Names of the lines and spaces. Written work. Books are put into the children's hands.
Grade Three. Staff reading of more difficult melody. The finding of "do" from the key signature. Rote songs. Individual singing. Written work.
Grade Four. Names of fifteen major keys. All chro- matic progression down and back a half-step, using for the representation a sharp and cancel, and if necessary, a double sharp. Second time motion, represented by two eighth notes. Two part singing. Song interpretation. Indi- vidual singing. Written work. Third time motion.
Grade Five. All chromatic tones in progression up a
32
half step and back, using for representation a flat, a double flat, and a cancel. The arithmetic of music. The theory of common time. Fourth time motion (the triplet). Fifth time motion-second form of the triplet. Two part singing in con- cert and individually. Song interpretation. Written work.
Grade Six. Position of sharps and flats in the signature. The use of the sharp, double sharp, flat, double flat, and can- cel. The sixth time motion represented by four sixteenth notes. The seventh time motion represented by a dotted eighth and sixteenth notes. Theory of compound time. Song interpretation. Individual singing. Written work.
Grade Seven. General review. Syncopation. Musical terms. Three part singing. Song interpretation. Individu- al singing. Written work.
Grade Eight. The base clef. Sight reading with words. Elementary harmony (major and minor keys). Biography. Song interpretation. Written work.
Grade Nine. Song interpretation. Reading with words. Elementary harmony. Three and four part singing. Biog- raphy. Specific intervals. Written work.
The work in the High school is confined to chorus sing- ing by the entire school.
I take this opportunity to publicly extend my heart-felt thanks to the teachers who have so willingly aided in the in- troduction of the system. Their efforts to assist in making it a success leave nothing to be desired and it is a pleasure to be associated with them.
Respectfully submitted,
ESTHER G. O'CONNOR.
Report of the Supervisor of Drawing.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Dear Sir :-
The theory that the child should create as well as absorb knowledge from the printed page, is being constantly im- pressed upon us at the present time. In support of this theory, more interest is being manifested in drawing and manual training than ever before. Believing that the lead pencil is the readiest medium of expression, we are devoting considerable time to careful, accurate representation of objects with the pencil, in all grades above the primary. This trains not only the muscles of the hand and arm, but the power of observation as well. Along industrial lines we have done considerable the past year, articles of very creditable work- manship having been made in all grades and at the high school. These were taken home to be given as Christmas gifts, and the materials were, in all cases, purchased by the children. Book marks, calendars, etc., were made in the primary grades; whisk broom holders, babies' rattles, baskets, and mats of reed and raffia were constructed in the upper grades. Leather work was introduced for the first time in the ninth grade, and here and at the high school, were made belts, watch fobs, pocketbooks, music rolls, etc., the leather having been tooled in most cases. At the high school, also, candle and lamp shades have been made of perforated brass and German silver.
When we see the great interest shown along industrial lines, and remember the creditable work shown in the "Ex- hibition of Home Work," which was held in Town Hall, it must be a matter of regret to all interested that an appropria-
-
34
tion was not made for manual training at the March town meeting.
I cannot conclude this report without a few words in re- gard to school decoration. We place in children's hands the masterpieces of literature, but we give them no opportunity of seeing the masterpieces of art. What can we expect from children surrounded by the five-cent art of the newspapers? But where are they to see anything better? Since we have no museum, there ought to be at least one reproduction of a masterpiece in every schoolroom. The Social Service De- . , partment of the Woman's Club has given us help along this line, and I hope this appeal will reach other clubs, or public spirited citizens, who have the means to do something in this regard. What better memorial could be left by anyone than the reproduction of some great masterpiece hung on a school- room wall to give joy to and inspire hundreds of children?
In conclusion, I thank you, the members of the commit- tee, and the teachers, for the sympathy and co-operation given me in my work.
Respectfully yours, GENEVIEVE M. TOOHEY, Supervisor of Drawing.

Report of the Principal of the Evening School.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Dear Sir :- The evening school opened Monday evening, October 12, 1908, and closed Wednesday evening, December 23, 1908.
The length of the term this year was the same as last year, namely eleven weeks. Throughout the whole term bothi teachers and pupils applied themselves earnestly and diligent- ly, and I feel sure in saying that much good accrued to the pupils individually, and hence to the public at large, since in- dividuals go to make up the commonwealth.
One of the most striking things to be noticed in this year's statistics is the gratifying decrease in the number of illiterates. This year there were only 86 who could not read or write the English language, as compared with 158 last year. The decrease in illiteracy is most pleasing to me and certainly must be a source of encouragement to the teachers who work so earnestly with the unfortunate illiterate.
I wish especially to thank you for your kind assistance, and I wish also to thank the teachers who co-operated with me so earnestly and zealously.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES E. LUBY,
Principal.

Report of School Physicians.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF MILFORD :----
The work of school inspection has been performed more systematically the second year than it was possible for the' first year, and the results have been recorded in the form of a card catalogue, which is calculated to register the results of ten years.
The number of schools visited by us was 44 besides the high school. The number of pupils reported in attendance was 1932; but the number actually present for inspection was 1815, showing an absent list of 117.
Of the 1815 pupils inspected, in 711, or a little more than 39 per cent of the whole, no diseases or defects were noted.
Five hundred eighty-two of the remaining 1104 showed conditions which it seemed advisable to us to note upon the cards for future reference, but which, for various reasons, did not seem to call for the sending of notifications to the parents or guardians.
The remainder, consisting of 522, were found to present conditions of disease or defect which called for a notice call- ing the attention of their parents or guardians thereto, and suggesting the need of medical advice and treatment. In most cases these notices were advisory only, and the teachers were so instructed. There was one class of cases, however, in which the notices were mandatory rather than advisory. This class consisted of those pupils who had never been vaccin- ated, or never successfully vaccinated. It was a common thing for the children to say that they had been vaccinated several times, but it didn't "take." In these cases they were instructed that it was necessary to try again. The old rule of "three times and out" is not a safe one here. There is a girl in the high school who was vaccinated by one of us eight times unsuccessfully, but the ninth attempt succeeded. We there-
38
fore notify parents that such children must be vaccinated at once, and request the teachers to do all in their power to see that this is done, and failing in this, to report the delinquents to the School Committee. If a certificate is brought from a reputable physician stating that in his opinion vaccination is not advisable in this particular child at this time, the excuse is to be accepted for the present year only. The law requires vaccination, and we desire to do all in our power to see that the law is enforced.
Six hundred pupils, or more than one-third of the whole, showed enlarged or otherwise abnormal tonsils-an astonishing proportion, indeed. The proportion was much larger in the lower grades than in the higher, showing that one of two things happens. Either the children do to some extent out- grow this defect, or else the defectives fall out and do not reach the higher grades, being mentally as well as physically defective. In all probability both these causes are operative. In a large proportion of these cases -- and the proportion was larger in the lower grades than in the higher, for the first of the reasons given-no notification was sent to the parents, but they were simply recorded upon the cards, where their por- gress can be watched from year to year. In the more pro- nounced cases, however, and those where the injurious effects were plainly seen in the children, such notices were sent, and the parents were advised to consult a physician.
Probable adenoid growths were diagnosed in 223 cases, but there can be no doubt that more than that number of cases existed. It is not usually safe to make a positive diagnosis of this defect, except after an examination of such a nature that it is not practicable in school inspection work.
Cervical adenitis, or enlarged glands of the neck, was found in 189 cases, not counting many of those in which it existed in connection with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, to both of which it is often secondary.
Defective teeth were noted in 246 cases. Various skin diseases were found in 44 cases. The number of children who had not been successfully vaccinated was 78. There «were also a number of special cases, which were reported more
1
39
fully to the Superintendent and School Committee but do not call for a detailed report here.
Only three children were excluded from school, and these were for causes which seemed manifestly sufficient to justify such action.
We have spoken here only of the more common and im- portant diseases and defects. A tabulated list of the results of our work, together with a more detailed commentary upon it, has been prepared by each of us for the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee.
The plan of having the results of the school inspection preserved in the form of a card catalogue is undoubtedly a good one, and will greatly increase the value of the work done, by furnishing a means of comparing the condition of the schools and individual pupils from year to year. The cards themselves are kept by the teachers, and sent with the pupils as they are advanced from one school to another.
More attention has been paid this year to the sanitary conditions surrounding the pupils in school, as we feel that this is a matter fully as important as the physical defects and abnormalities found in the individual pupils.
The yards, buildings, and rooms were found to be clean and in a fair state of repair. The basements in the newer buildings are also clean, neat, dry, and in every way satisfac- tory. Some of the old buildings have poor basements, and they cannot be kept in good condition, but as they are not used frequently by the pupils, there are probably no bad effects.
Most of the schoolrooms throughout the town are over- crowded-a serious injustice to both pupils and teachers. Twenty-eight schools have over forty pupilseach, while thir- ty pupils are now considered enough to constitute a good- sized school. The average number of pupils to a room is forty. Some of the larger rooms with modern methods of heating and ventilating can accommodate that number with a certain degree of comfort and sanitary safety, but the small- er rooms are sadly unfit. In the rooms which are heated by stoves, the problem of heating and ventilating is a serious
40
one for both the teachers and janitors, but in justice to them, it is only fair to say that the"temperature and air in most of them was quite satisfactory under the circumstances. The- pupils who live in districts supplied with new school build- ings have many advantages over those less fortunately situ- ated, who are compelled to work and study under the less. favorable conditions found in the old schools.
The lighting of a schoolroom is an important considera- tion. On dark days, some of the rooms cannot be properly lighted on account of the small size and poor arrangement of the windows. In one room the pupils were found engaged in their reading exercise. Those sitting in the outside aisles (near the windows) were doing all of the reading, because the day happened to be a little cloudy, and the teacher consid- ered the light too poor for the others to read without strain- ing their eyes. In this respect again, the newer buildings are much better equipped and laid out.
The coat-rooms and corridors of the school buildings were found clean and well cared for.
The toilets are in good condition, but in one instance in- adequate-the North Grammar and Annex. Soon the matter of connection with the sewerage system must be considered, especially in the cases of the Spruce street, Park, Claflin, Oli- ver street, and the North schools.
The play grounds and school yards generally are much too small in most cases, but as a rule they are orderly and and well kept.
Two new school buildings of the larger type, one at the north, and the other at the south side of the town, would im- prove the school conditions immeasurably.
