REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE. Year 1909-10.
The cost of carrying on the schools for the past year, exclusive of High School pupils, was $7,868.70, of which $1,398.77 was for transportation. It thus appears that nearly 18% of the expense of the schools carried on in the Town is for transportation of scholars to and from the school house. Is the result satisfactory?
We think it is not.
The division of the Town into three large routes leaves many scholars so far from any route that they can make no use of the barges, and others are obliged to walk con- siderable distances before reaching the barge. This necessitates long walks over lonely stretches of road, which in many instances, especially in winter and early spring, are wholly unfit for children's travel. This not only puts many scholars at a great disadvantage by im- perilling their health and putting an improper tax on their energies, but it also puts a serious obstacle in the way of their attendance at all, and this is often most noticeable in the case of those who most need the advantages of the school.
It would seem to be unnecessary to point out the great interest which the Town has in doing all it can to educate its future citizens and to fit them as far as may be to ad- vance themselves in the future, and for this purpose to overcome the difficulties arising from a widely scattered population and a centralization of the schools.
The present arrangement works a great injustice to many of our citizens and in our opinion it gives them a just cause of grievance.
136
Moreover it works badly even among those who are within reach of the barge routes as the system has not sufficient elasticity to meet the variations due to the constant shifting of the school population.
It is of course, impossible, to overcome entirely the dis- advantage of distance from the school house, but a system which entirely ignores many scholars while caring for others who have less need of its benefits is fundamentally wrong.
We have called the attention of the Town to this matter repeatedly but without result, and we have not felt justified in making any radical change without some action by the Town.
The situation is constantly growing worse and we can only urge the Town to give the matter attention and de- clare its policy.
The fundamental question is whether the Town will treat all alike and provide transportation for all scholars. If this policy is adopted it has been suggested that a contract might be made with some one person to transport all the children, either for a lump sum or at so much a child, leaving it to the contractor to arrange the details as he finds most convenient and economical. Of course if this were done it would need to be subject to the control of the School Committee. We have made some efforts to ascertain if any person would be prepared to make such a contract and if so at what figure, but as yet without success. It is hoped that this report may lead to some offer being made.
If such a single contract cannot be made it might be possible to divide the Town into districts with a separate contractor in each, but this would be less elastic than a single contract and would probably be more expensive as well as more difficult to control.
If the Town decides to adhere to the present system of three barge routes, leaving those who cannot reach the
137
barges to shift for themselves, something should be done to avoid overcrowding the barges. This might be done by adopting a zone system and permitting only those children to ride who are in the outlying zone, except where for special reasons the Committee makes an exception. This arrangement would reduce the number in the barges but would have obvious difficulties.
The whole question is one of great difficulty as well as expense.
We feel that the present arrangement is thoroughly unsatisfactory, is very unjust to many, and that the ex- penditure of this large percentage of the school appropria- tion should be made in some way to give better and more equitable results, but as we have said above, we hesitate to change this long established custom without some ex- pression of the wishes of the Town.
We submit herewith a summary of the year's expenses. It will be noted that the increases in certain items amount to $1,398.47 and the decreases in other items to $551.08 making a net increase over last year of $847.39. The in- creases in the items for janitors, fuel, and water rates are probably permanent and more than account for the total net increase. The increases and decreases in the other items will doubtless fluctuate from year to year.
The comparison between different years cannot be made exact as bills are not always presented promptly and so must run over to the next year. This has been particularly true in the past. We have endeavored to correct this as far as possible and it is believed that out- standing bills, if any, are trifling.
We submit herewith the report of the Superintendent and the usual tables of Statistics.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of the Town of Lincoln:
In presenting my third annual report I wish to give a review of what has been accomplished during the last three years along certain lines.
We have spent much time and effort during the past three years to improve the work of the primary grades, and we are much gratified to have the Grammar School teachers say that the pupils are coming to them better readers and with a greater ability to observe, think and study. The improvements in these two respects mean much for the future work in our schools, for the ability to read intelligently and easily will unlock the knowledge which books hold, and the power to concentrate the mind on study insures the accomplishment of more work in a shorter time. One of the most important things for a child to acquire is the habit of working easily and effi- ciently, so that he may be able to accomplish much with little waste of time and energy.
I have urged all the teachers to do their utmost to teach all pupils how to think, to direct their own conduct intelli- gently, and to study without depending on others. Some teachers, of course, have accomplished more than others, but I feel there has been a gain in all grades.
The work in geography and history has been constantly enlarged and improved. Many pupils are able to take a topic and recite fluently without question or help. They are taught to select the most essential facts, and learn them thoroughly. Much attention is given to cause and effect, also to influences which reach to our own time and
140
locality. This gives more life to the recitations. In the Grammar Grades I have heard excellent recitations in history and shrewd discussions of important topics.
We are constantly trying to improve the language, including spelling. With some of the children hearing much poor English while out of school, this work is one of our greatest tasks and needs all the intelligence which teachers and superintendent can apply to it. We are making progress slowly.
One of the most valuable results of an education is the taste for good reading, for a person with such a taste will grow mentally and morally as long as he lives. We are trying to cultivate this taste in the Lincoln children throughout the grades by the use of good, wholesome reading material and the teaching of beautiful poems and memory gems. We have a carefully prepared list of literary selections and excellent books of poetry from which the teachers can choose the most suitable material for each grade. The children find this literature so inter- esting, that I believe many of them will form the habit of reading good books.
In arithmetic we are using two sets of books, so that we can select the most practical examples and have a sufficient supply for thorough drill. We have, too, purchased a number of reference books in all subjects, which greatly aid both pupils and teachers in preparing lessons. The ability to use these reference books is a valuable part of a child's education.
A number of times during the year I have talked with Superintendent W. A. Hall, about the Lincoln pupils in the Concord High School, and each time he has com- mended them for their earnest work and the progress they are constantly making. He wishes that all his pupils were as well prepared to do high school work effectively as those from Lincoln. This means that our academic work is being well handled, and that there is no loss along this line on account of our industrial work.
141
MANUAL AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Much of the wonderful development of Germany, com- mercially and industrially, during recent times is due to her most excellent commercial and trade schools. And in the future the nations and states which are to take the lead in the business world must educate their children to take part in the great industrial improvements which are constantly being made.
Our schools have already made a beginning along this line. The manual work introduced a little over a year ago has become one of the most important subjects in our cur- riculum, and our boys and girls are receiving a practical training which will be very useful to them in the future. I have frequently watched the children at work and have found them interested and busy, proud to show what they have made, and well they may be , for much of their work does credit to both pupils and teachers.
The hand skill which the girls gain in using the needle and sewing-machine, and the ability developed by plan- ning and cutting dresses, will make them more valuable workers in the shops and at home.
The boys, while drawing and reading plans and then making various articles of furniture are gaining a skill in the use of tools and machines and a power to do things well, that will greatly increase their future usefulness.
I believe the introduction of cooking into our curriculum marks a great advance in the history of the Lincoln Schools. Our girls are having instruction not only in cooking, but in household economics and dietetics, and are having practice in caring for kitchen, pantry, and dining-room. They are learning to keep such rooms neat and orderly, and to do their work quickly and systematically, also to prepare and serve wholesome food. As a large majority of the girls will spend much of their time in household duties, and as nourishing food is absolutely necessary for
