From an enrollment of 117 pupils in the eighth grade, 96 were promoted to the High school, and 14 were detained. The enrollment of this school in September was below the enrollment of last year on account of the number of boys who had received working cards. These pupils have now returned in considerable numbers and are again at work at their books. There are 183 students in the seventh grade,


49


and 137 in the eighth grade, making a total of 320 gian mir students in the building. .


During the past summer the resignations of Miss Mc Grail and Miss Kiley were accepted and their positions have been filled by Miss Bertorelli and Miss Conway respectively.


The opinion has become fixed with me that our curriculum, as it stands now, falls far short of being fair to the boys. We are at present conducting classes for the girls in sewing and cooking, and are giving the boys no vocational work what- ever. This seems scarcely fair play to our manly, industrious boys, in view of what we have done and are doing for the girls. I feel that some equipment for a manual training class should be installed for the boys as soon as possible. I am confident that such an equipment can be secured and installed within the bounds of reasonable expenditure. The inspiring answer to their country's call given by the big boys of Milford negatives the thought that we can deny the best training we can give to their younger brothers, who have the same manly, American character. This appears with greater force il vit W of the partiality being shown towards the girls in their courses, while begjudging the boys. The educational value of manual training for the boys is too well known to you and others interested in their welfare to warrant discussion on my part. I simply make a plea for fair play toward the Ameri- can boy, whose sense of fair play is the highest in the world, and that at least as much be done for bis instruction and development, as is being done for the girls. At present, while the girls are taking sewing or eccking according to their les- pective classes, the boys are forced to sit inactively in their rocms. This is irefficient and a waste of time and is scarce ly compatible with good pedagogy.


An eighth grade course in mythology suggests itself loth on account of its classical and historical value as a preparation for High school work. Such a course could, under your direc- tion, be inticduced as supplementary reading in the eighth girde. In the seventh grades I should like, if possible, to use


5.0


as additional readers "Tales from Shakespeare," by Charles and Mary Lamb:


I have the pleasure of informing you that the furniture and appointments of the school are in excellent condition. In regard to this point I am very anxious to have a lounge and first aid kit installed in the teacher's room against a possi- ble case of serious illness or accident. This need is immedi- ate; but I would like to have the furnishing of that room completed as soon as possible.


In conclusion, permit me to express my appreciation of your helpful suggestions-and co-operation in the administra- tion of this school, I remain


Yours Respectfully, JOHN B. O'LEARY, Acting Principal.


REPORT OF THE EVENING SCHOOL.


Milford, Mass., January 16, 1919.


Mr. Almorin O. Caswell,


Superintendent of Schools, Milford, Mass.


Dear Mr. Caswell :-


I herewith submit the Evening School report for the first eight weeks.


The total enrollment this year was small, due to some extent to the lateness in opening of school because of the epidemic prevailing during October, and also to the fact that a smaller number of illiterate minors had procured employ- ment cards.


An attempt was made to encourage attendance of illiterate adults of our Italian population ; an advertisement in the local press in their tongue was published, urging them to attend and prepare for citizenship; no response was made to the same. It is regrettable that more do not avail themselves. of the opportunity presented.


I wish to extend my thanks to you and to the teachers for your assistance and co-operation.


Respectfully,


WILLIAM J. MOORE,


Principal.

REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR.


Milford, Mass., January 16, 1918.


Mr. Almorin O. Caswell,


Superintendent of Schools,


Dear Sir :-


Although the work of the art department, like that of other departments, has been interrupted by the closing of schools during the epidemic, the ill effects have not been. serious.


As usual, the construction of Christmas gifts has pre- sented an excellent opportunity for obtaining good results in handwork and in applied design. The lower grades have done work in stenciling; the decoration of painted and enameled. pin trays was a new problem in the seventh grade, while eighth grade pupils have applied gesso to various objects of wood.


At the High school printed notices and posters have been furnished for various occasions by our department. The girls have made and worked out original designs for filet crochet, and for cross-stitch embroidery. Mechanical drawing and other lines of work have been carried on as usual.


In conclusion, I must again express my appreciation of your kindness during the past year, and of the co-operation of the members of the school committee, and of the teachers.


Respectfully submitted,


GENEVIEVE M TOOHEY,


Supervior of Drawing.


REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR.


Mr. Almorin O. Caswell,


Superintendent of Schools,


Milford, Mass.


Dear Sir :-


After a leave of absence of almost a year I returned in September, and found the music in fairly good condition con- sidering the fact that there had been no supervisor appointed during my absence. For the first three weeks of this year everything went along in regular order, when, on account of the epidemic, we closed schools for several weeks.


On re-opening affairs seemed to be demoralized, due pre- sumably to the times. Happily, conditions have changed and we are pursuing our course with great vigor, and endeavoring to' make up for all we have lost. Teachers and pupils are working very hard, and by the end of the year, barring more setbacks, the work will have been accomplished. Especially noticeable is the improvement in tone work, something for which we are always striving.


In the High school about 75 have elected music, and I have hopes that in the near future at least 200 will elect music as one of their studies. Good work is being done, but with a large chorus even better results would be obtained.


One suggestion for improvement I should like to make, namely : A new piano in the High school. The present in- strument was installed in 1902, and no one, even in those days, knew its age, so I would hardly dare to hazard a guess at its present age. But I am in hopes that there will be a new piano there soon.


I wish to take this opportunity to thank you and all the teachers for your help and kindness to me.


Yours very respectfully, ELIZABETH M. O'CONNOR, Supervisor of Music.

Stamps have been sold only a short time this past year, as some of the schools were closed part of February and March on account of the coal shortage. In the fall no business was done until December 3, 1918, on account of the influenza epic demic. The stamps have also been given up in several rooms, as the Thrift Stamps have taken their place.

Owing to war conditions and the prevailing epidemic, the number of pupils inspected was somewhat less than one year


63


ago. The schools were closed for six weeks in the fall term, on account of the large number of cases of so-called Spanish Influenza. It has seemed to us that it was worth while to put on record, as a matter of history, a few facts regarding this epidemic, which was world-wide in its prevalence, and from which Milford suffered in greater proportion than from any previous epidemic within our knowledge, or so far as we can ascertain, from any recorded in the history of the town. We have taken pains to secure a record of the cases occurring among the pupils of our public schools, of which we have found six hundred and thirty-six, which is about 28 per cent. of the whole number of pupils. There were 343 cases of influenza in the primary schools, 255 in the grammar schools, and 38 in the high school. This is about 28 per cent. of the pupils in the primary grades, 31 per cent. of the grammar grades, and 14 per cent. of the high school. The number of deaths reported was 11, or about 1.7 per cent of the whole. number of cases. Overcrowding and imperfect hygiene, both at home and in school, were potent factors in increasing its prevalence and fatality. But no locality was safe, and no pre- cautions were sufficient to wholly safeguard. Prompt closing of the schools no doubt prevented its still greater prevalence. Since the subsidence of the epidemic and the reopening of the schools, a close watch has been kept for any new cases, and measures have been taken to prevent so far as possible any further spread of the disease. The important question which faces us is, will there be any reappearance of it in epidemic proportions ?


In addition to the inspection of all the pupils, from which the fore-going tables are drawn, there have been inspections of several schoolrooms where contagious disease was reported by the Board of Health. The procedure is to visit the room of any pupil absent on account of contagious disease and to exclude all other pupils who do not seem to be in perfect health. Thus in all probability, epidemics are aborted and the general welfare promoted. There has been no epidemic this year aside from influenza.


Numerous individual inspections were made in cases


64


when the teacher suspected contagious trouble, and some of these pupils were excluded for a time.


Parents have come to see the purpose of school inspec- tion and it is a pleasure to witness the good results obtained by following up the suggestions on the ratification cards sent to them. As the value of the inspection becomes evident to more and more parents, we see physical and mental improve - ment in an increasing number of pupils.

'T is sad to part with teachers dear, With classmates fond and true. But in our hearts, in memories' chain, A link will be for you.


75


We'll ne'er forget your interest kind And on the road of life, The thoughts of you will lead us on, And cheer us in the strife.


O'er troubled seas lies stricken France Laid low with grief and care, Voices entreat in war weary tones That we now do our share. With courage strong we answer them Prepared in heart and mind, To duty's call, to country's call, We will not lag behind.


- Alice Rosemary Carroll.
