New language books have been procured for the schools. We were using two different series in the schools and it seemed better to concentrate our work upon one, as the sub- ject is sufficiently difficult without introducing unnecessary difficulties.
During the year, a new course of study has been prepared for the schools, which seems to me to meet the needs of our own pupils and to be in substantial accord with the best educational practice of other progressive communities. It is designed to encourage originality on the part of the teachers and at the same time to furnish a sufficient guide to secure reasonable uniformity in our work. It has not yet gone into effect, though we have been shaping our work somewhat to meet its requirements.
Gratifying reports have been received of the work of the Lincoln pupils in the Concord high school. Few have failed
170
to maintain a creditable standing, and there is evidence that they are making good use of the educational opportunities which are offered them.
The subjects of music and drawing have been in charge of the same teachers as before and the same good work has been done. It seems to me that we are especially fortunate in our special teachers of these two subjects. They are will- ing workers, both. Perfect harmony prevails between them, the pupils, and the regular teachers, and there is a certain good taste about all the work that is done in both departments that is especially gratifying. I trust that we shall long retain their services.
Both Miss Barnes and Miss Hill have presented brief reports of their work to which you are referred for further details.
Taken all in all, the year has been a profitable one ; and I am glad to be able to report that the schools are in good con- dition at their close. With the same efficient corps of teachers we should be able not only to maintain our present standard but to improve it.
The usual tables of statistics are appended.
Respectfully submitted, W. N. CRAGIN, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of the Director of Drawing.
-
To Mr. W. N. Cragin, Superintendent of Schools;
This year we have followed, as closely as prevailing condi- tions would permit, the course in industrial drawing out- lined by Henry Turner Bailey and Walter Sargent, state agents for the promotion of industrial drawing. It is a line of work in harmony with what is actually being done at the the present time by some of the most able supervisors of drawing in the state.
The work of some of the classes cannot in some depart- ments be so far advanced as it was two years ago, for the reason the discontinuation of the ninth grade results in the children being younger in their grades than they were be- fore.
A great improvement is noticeable in the work of the grammar classes at the South School, where the conditions had for some time been unfavorable to progress.
The teachers are, without exception, doing faithful, pains- taking and interested work in drawing. Lincoln is fortu- nate in this respect, for this can rarely be said of all the teachers in a town.
Very respectfully,
MARGARET E. HILL,

Report of the Director of Music.
MR. W. N. CRAGIN,
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS OF LINCOLN.
"Ruskin says "Music is the first, the simplest the most effective of all instruments of moral instruction," and I hold this to be true also in regard to its power as a mental in- structor and developer. I do not need to enter a plea for the study of music in the schools of Lincoln. Music has · been here so long, and its influence felt and appreciated so deeply, that such a plea is unnecessary. Music has come here to stay, as it has in every advanced community that recognizes the educational and refining power of the study.
Riches cannot always be measured by the size of the bank note ; neither should the advance in any branch of study be determined alone by the number on the printed page.
In summing up the result of the year's work we must take the broad look, consider all the elements that tend to a suc- cessful finish, and if we do not see progress along all the ways, our seeming success will be unstable and false. It is not enough that a pupil be a good sight reader if this be at the expense of good vocalization, accurate, rhythmical feel- ing and artistic interpretation. All of these elements enter the music work of the various grades, and must be consid- ered in the final summing up.
I feel the schools have made a distinct gain along the paths that lead to the goal for which we are striving. Where there is more than one grade to a room, it is difficult to determine the exact progress each grade has made, but the thoughtful teacher knows each child's mental growth in
173
music as well as in the other branches. The plan of work the past year has followed the outline of the normal course, with such changes as seemed best where there were two and three grades to a room. Our plan is not as 'systematic as a graded one would be, but I feel the pupil gains a broad look each year, as he has to pass over much ground. This neces- sitates much repetitition of the subject ere the scholars leave the room; but often times the best of results follow where these conditions exist. Reviews are necessary ; the "look- ing backward" can and should result in firmer and finer knowledge.
I have been especially pleased with the progress of the first and second year pupils. Much is being said to-day by educators in regard to eliminating from the music work of these grades all the so called technicalities. I think a mid- dle course is the wisest. Music so appeals to the average child that almost unconsciously he absorbs the work, and if the subject is rightly handled he is educationally benefitted in several ways.
I have been gratified at the presence of several parents this year during the music period, and wish more could show their interest in the work of the little ones.
The spirit of willingness on the part of teachers and pupils pervades all the work, thus lending to the music its greatest support.
Let me here thank both superintendent and teachers for their kindly suggestions and helpful co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ANNIE M. BARNES,
Director of Music.
