Following the precedent established so successfully by the class of 1915, the class of 1916 presented, on the evening of March sixth the three-act drama, "One of the Eight." The youthful disciples of Thespis were again coached by Miss Mary Fitzpatrick and Miss Mary Larkin, to both of whom high praise is due for the time and care they devoted to the play's preparation. The members of the cast ac- quitted themselves excellently, and won the hearty plaudits of those who were able to crowd into the hall. The pro- ceeds, together with those of the annual Senior hop, were presented by the class to the Library fund. The proceeds of the midwinter senior dancing party were presented to the Athletic Association. A successful concert was given on April 26th by the High School Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth McNamara. On February 21, the members of the two upper classes provided an ex- cellent program in commemoration of the three hundredth anniversary of the death of Shakespeare.
The Library has been greatly enlarged during the past year, thanks to the generosity of last year's class. During the past few weeks a more reliable book charging system has been introduced.
In addition to the generous gifts made to the school library by the class of 1916, the class of 1891, in commem- oration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their graduation, donated a stack of sectional shelves. Through the gener- osity of Dr. F. T. Harvey, the Science Department was greatly enriched by the receipt of a large Static Influence Machine. For these gifts the members of the school are deeply grateful.
To the Superintendent and members of the School
37
Committee, to the loyal Alumni, to the parents of pupils, and to all other friends of the school who have encouraged and helped us, the faculty desire to express their apprecia- tion and gratitude.

REPORT OF THE EVENING SCHOOLS.
Milford, Mass., January 4, 1917.
Mr. Almorin O. Caswell,
Superintendent of Schools, Milford, Mass.
Dear Mr. Caswell :
I herewith submit the Evening School Report for the past year :
The course for non-English speaking pupils was the same as in previous years with the introduction of the study of civics, making it similar to the course in Citizen- ship as outlined by the Bureau of Naturalization of the United States Department of Labor.
High school courses were offered for the first time in several years, forty-six pupils enrolling in the Commercial course. I trust these courses will continue as part of the curriculum for I feel certain that many more of our citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity another year.
To you for your kind assistance and to the teachers for their co-operation I wish to extend by thanks.

It is very plain that systematic inspection is a benefit to the school children, but we are reaping only a portion of our harvest inasmuch as many parents do not take advantage of the information which the children bring them on the official notification cards sent home by the medical inspector. The results would be more satisfying if we could have the services of a school nurse to follow up the more urgent cases and explain to the parents at their homes just what they can do for their children by a little timely interest in their physical defects. If a nurse could be employed for even three months every year-during the usual inspection time-it would increase immensely the practical benefits of school medical inspection.
The problem of aiding pupils whose parents are quite willing, but financially unable, to have eyes tested, teeth repaired, or tonsils and adenoids removed still remains un-
43
solved. A few of them are brought to the attention of charitable persons who render such aid gladly, but the ma- jority are less fortunate. Some organized effort should be made to relieve these cases not only on the ground of hu- manitarian sympathy, but as a practical bit of economic foresight.

CO-OPERATIVE ACTIVITIES.
The following other co-operating activities, all under the auspices of the Civics Department of the Quinshipaug Woman's Club, are worthy of note and encouragement: -
Play grounds were conducted last summer in the Plains and Claflin districts under the direction of Misses Deborah Clancy and Anna Patrick and their assistants, with funds, $300 of which were appropriated by the Town of Milford and the rest by the Woman's Club. Owing to insufficient funds, the playgrounds were conducted only 61/2 weeks. The features were folk dancing, games, apparatus work, sewing, modelling, and basket weaving. Attendance : Claflin 44 to 306; Plains 82 to 302.
The Junior Town, organized in October with Miss Dorothy Powell as the Supervisor, including school children in grades 6, 7, and 8, and the High school freshman, now numbers 110 and is doing excellent work in practical Civics.
The Clean-up Week was most successful, managers re- porting that teachers and pupils co-operated in the work spendidly. Flower and garden seeds were distributed. From 10 to 300 hours each were given by various schools. Mr. Arthur Kay of Framingham gave instructive talks on health and sanitation to the High school and eighth grades.
Under the same auspices as the activities already men- tioned, Mrs. Etta M. G. Luce of Boston spent two days in the schools in scientific health instruction.

EXPLANATION OF THE PRECEDING TABLE.
UNDER-AGE CHILDREN.
In the table on the preceding page the figures in heavy faced type represent the pupils considered as normal in age for the grade.
The figures at the left of the numbers of normal pupils represent those who are considered under-age or too young for the grade, while those in the right of the numbers of nor- mal pupils represent the over-age pupils, or those too old for the grade.
Multiplying the numbers of under-age children by the number of years that they are too young for the' grade, we have the following :-
343 children one year under-age 343
16 children two years under-age H
32
1 child 3 years under-age · . ·
3
378
(Equivalent to 378 children each one year too young for the grade.)
OVER-AGE CHILDREN.
228 children one year too old for the grade . 228
51 children two years too old for the grade . 102
24 children three years too old for the grade 72
402
5 children four years too old for the grade 20
1 child five years too old for the grade .
5
1 child six years too old for the grade . .
6
1 child seven years too old for the grade 7
1 child eight years too old for the grade 8
46
Grand total 448
(Equivalent to 448 each one year too old for the grade.)
It is fair to assume that the forty six (46) children who were 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 years too old for the grade are foreign children £ Leaving them out of consideration, then, we have
55
the equivalent of 378 children one year under grade and 102 children. one year over grade. In considering 378 children one year under age as an offset for an equal number of chil- dren one year over age, we have left an excess of 24 children one year over-age, or 1 per cent. of the total enrollment. The actual percentages of under-age and over-age children are as follows :-
Under age children . . 15.8 per cent.
Over age children . · . 16.8 per cent.
