REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
It is unnecessary to repeat here the details as to the School work which are fully set out in the report of the Superintendent, which, with the usual tables of statistics, is attached to this report.
We feel that the subject of transportation of pupils should be brought again to the attention of the town, and we refer to our remarks on this subject in our last annual report. The summary of school expenses for the year, which accompanies this report, shows a total expendi- ture of $14,633.52. If the expense of tuition and trans- portation of high school pupils is deducted the expense of the local schools in the town is shown to be $10,218.56. Of this $2,951.10 is paid for the transportation of children to and from the schools in the town. That is, 28 8/10 per cent of the cost of the local schools is for carrying the children, and a considerable increase of this propor- tion must be expected and provided for unless the policy is changed.
It is to be remembered that the town is not required by law to appropriate money for this purpose, although it is permitted to do so. The law does provide, however, that if money is appropriated for transportation of children it can only be expended by the School Com- mittee. But a town is not under any obligation to make such an appropriation, nor, if it does, is the School Committee bound to act.
Newcomb v. Rockport, 183 Mass. 74
(See also report of Superintendent attached to last annual report of School Committee.)
140
We think that this matter of transportation should be dealt with in an appropriation by itself and wholly apart from the appropriation for the schools, and we therefore do not include any amount for that purpose in recommending for the expenses of the schools for the current year an appropriation of $11,000.
Whatever the action of the town may be as to local transportation, we believe that, for the present at least, the cost of transportation of pupils to the high schools in other towns, when such transportation is necessary, should be paid by the town. We accordingly recommend a separate appropriation for transportation of pupils of at least $1,000, which we believe will cover all neces- sary transportation for high school pupils for the current year.
We wish to point out that this would make no pro- vision for local transportation and that in so far as the town may wish to provide for that it must be by a larger appropriation.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of the Town of Lincoln :-
In presenting my tenth annual report I shall mention some of the changes and improvements made in our schools during the past decade.
Ten years is a long term of service for a superin- tendent of school in a small town, but this long term has enabled me with the aid of able teachers to develop, put into operation and to mature many plans which have been a great benefit to the children of this town.
The general tone and efficiency of the schools have improved. The great majority of the pupils are inter- ested in their school work and are earnest in their study. I wish I could say this for all the pupils.
The teachers have worked hard and effectively in training the children how to study, think and reason. The recitations are conducted in such a manner as to stimulate these activities, rather than to develop simply the memory. This is a great gain over the usual method of teaching, which too often is mere machine work, devoid of any real thinking.
School superintendents and others who have visited our schools have often spoken of the excellent discipline, the good spirit existing between teachers and pupils, the interest which the children have in their work and the power they have gained to study effectively and reason intelligently on various subjects. Not only the bright children but those of mediocre ability have gained much by this kind of training. In the years to come we hope to make still greater progress.
143
Increase in Attendance
During the past decade there has been a large increase in the number of children attending our schools and in the number of Lincoln children going to the High schools. In the year ending June, 1907, we registered 117 pupils, while in the year ending June, 1916, we registered 201. In 1907 we sent 22 pupils to high school, while last year the number was 44, including 5 in the Concord Agricul- tural High School. Thus our high school pupils have doubled in number, while in the grades the increase has been 72 per cent. This means that our children remain in school longer and more enter high schools.
Some of our school rooms became so crowded that the teachers were overloaded with work and the pupils were not receiving the attention which they needed. This condition became so acute in the spring of 1915 that we furnished and opened a new room in the center building. This has greatly improved our work in the primary grades. Now all our pupils, except about twenty in grades 1 and 2 at South Lincoln, attend the Lincoln school at the Center.
The Special Teacher
In the fall of 1911 when some of our school rooms were first crowded beyond seating capacity we engaged a special teacher to aid the regular teachers. This special teacher took individual pupils or groups of children to the office where she taught them how to study, explained difficult subjects and helped children, who for any reason had dropped behind their classes, to make up their work. Thus the backward children received much needed individual instruction, and any pupil, who on account of sickness, had lost some important part of the work, was helped over the hard places.
144
In most schools there are some children with good minds who lack power of concentration and therefore do not profit as much from their schooling as they should. The special teacher has greatly benefited such pupils by training them in right habits of study. For the past five years a special teacher has been in the Lincoln school during the whole or a part of each year.
The New Schoolhouse and Practical Arts
During the year 1908 the new schoolhouse at the center was completed and occupied. The school rooms and surroundings are vastly better than those of ten years ago. It is in every way an attractive, comfortable and adequate school building, and has furnished us opportunity for doing a larger quantity and better quality of work ..
With work rooms and equipment provided for manual training, cooking and sewing, we have extended educa- tional privileges to the Lincoln children which few small towns enjoy. As I look back over the decade I feel that these departments have stimulated growth, added much valuable training and given the children the power to do many things well.
Our boys have acquired skill in the use of tools and the ability to plan and construct furniture and other articles useful at home and in the school. Each year they have made several things to use in our school rooms.
Mr. Brackett reports in part for the last year as follows :---
"We have made a sand box and a number of window boxes for the different rooms to start flowers in, also some shelves in Miss Jones's room. We have in process of making a large table, cold frames, chicken feeders, and various pieces of furniture for use in the pupils' home.
We are trying an innovation this year in using a great deal of cypress. It is a good durable wood, works
145
easily, takes stain nicely and costs less than oak or white wood, so will be quite a saving in our lumber bill."
Our girls have learned to sew, cut and fit a variety of useful garments for themselves and their sisters. They have learned how to care for the kitchen and dining-room, keep the rooms and dishes clean and orderly, to cook a large variety of foods and to serve a dinner in good style. They have acquired much skill in preparing wholesome, palatable food and in canning and preserving. They have learned also the nutritive value of various common foods and therefore what will make a well balanced meal. By sampling the food many times teachers and super- intendent have tested the girls' ability to cook and never found them wanting. This training will go a long way towards developing good home makers.
Several years we exhibited the products from our manual training, cooking and sewing departments and also vegetables, raised by the children in home gardens, at the county fair in Framingham. The Lincoln schools have each time received a good number of premiums, much larger in fact than the number of our school children would warrant, for we competed with towns and cities many times the size of Lincoln. One year in manual training our boys gained more points than the boys of the city of Marlboro and were not far behind the large towns of Natick and Framingham. This means that our boys' products showed much care and skill.
The Play Grounds
Few school buildings are surrounded by such adequate and pleasant play grounds. We have two baseball diamonds, one of the usual size for the large boys and a small one for the little fellows. There is also a small field for foot ball practice. The janitor takes great interest in the boys, umpiring and overseeing their
