At a joint meeting of the Committee of Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury, held April 23, Mr. Edgar L. Willard was re- elected Superintendent of Schools, for the ensuing year.
The Truant Officers for the present year are, William J. Turner, Thaddeus W. Chandler, George E. Belknap, Warren E. Peterson, and the Superintendent.
All needed repairs have been made on our schoolhouses dur- ing the year. One half the roof at Island Creek has been shingled, and the schoolhouse at Ashdod has been painted in- side and out ; also papered, and the desks varnished.

Last year the school committee cut down the appropriation for support of schools, purposely to use up an unexpended balance which had been carried along for several years.
As this has been used up, your committee, after carefully going over the sums to be expended for the ensuing year, would respectfully submit the following recommendations for appropriations for the year 1905 :
Support of schools, $5,200 00 School incidentals and repairs of schoolhouses, 700 00
Salary of superintendent, 250 00

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Committee :-
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is here- by submitted for your consideration.
As it is the tenth, and marks a decade of service of the writer, perhaps a little retrospection at this time, on his part, will be pardoned.
During that decade the makeup of your honorable board has entirely changed. The entire teaching force has been changed. Some schools have had many teachers.
Only one teacher in service ten years ago is with us today. But this one has had a year out of school on account of ill health.
The Grammar school has been organized, and for eight of the ten years, occupied a room in Duxbury Hall. The High Street school has been opened and again closed. The new building on the Village lot has been erected at a cost of over seven thousand dollars.
At the very beginning of this decade the number of grades in four schools, namely, Village, Nook, Millbrook and Point,
-65-
was reduced from seven to five. The sixth and seventh grades at this time went to make up the newly organized Grammar school. This was a distinct gain and has much im- proved the opportunities for good work in the schools affected.
Another forward step was taken when the new building was erected to take the place of the old Village schoolhouse, and also to accommodate the pupils of the Grammar school.
To the writer it has always seemed unfortunate that the op- portunity offered by the building of this new school, to great- ly improve the grading of the schools in and around Duxbury village, was not taken advantage of at that time.
· Public sentiment in the town has been so strong in opposition to any further consolidation or regrading, that the work of your Superintendent has been very largely that of bringing uniformity, as far as possible, to the work in the several schools.
Equal advantages for all, or as nearly that as possible, has been the goal in mind at all times.
How difficult of attainment this is, may be seen when the varying conditions under which the several teachers are work- ing, is considered.
That no greater difference of preparation has been evident in Academy pupils, between those coming from the outlying schools, and those from the Grammar school in the Village, has been entirely due to the tireless overtime work in the up- per grades, of the teachers in the outlying schools.
It has been almost literally true in at least one case, that the school day was from sun to sun. One teacher pays little attention to time limitations. What are the results? Better preparation for the Academy? Yes, and this is excellent for the pupils. But what has been the result on the teacher? Ner- vous prostration during all the summer vacation. Unable to begin school at the time for opening in the fall.
But it is only by such extra zeal on the part of the teach- ers, that anything like success can be obtained under the con- ditions which exist. Somebody must pay and pay dearly for these conditions. In this particular case, it may have been the teacher. More often it is paid for in pupils leaving school be- fore they can spell, write or perform simple work in arithmetic with any degree of proficiency. This is unfortunate but true.
Instead of placing the summary of the attendance statistics at the end of the report I have thought it better to put them in
Duxbury 5

at this point that attention may be called more conveniently to some features which it is wished to emphasize. The sum- mary is as follows :

It will be seen by the foregoing figures that there has been a steady decrease in the number of children attending our schools. The cause of this is not far to seek. It is the old story of leaving country towns and migrating to the larger centers of population. Added to this, which is ordinarily true of country towns in the state, is the fact that Duxbury, like many others of the shore towns, is more and more becoming a summer resort.
It does seem, however, that the attendance should reach a higher per cent. than 88 or 89. Anything below 90 per cent. in attendance is too low. As has been so often said, the remedy for this is with the parents. School officers and teachers may zealously perform their several duties, but it avails nothing unless the moral support of the parents is actively operative.
Taking the schools individually, seven of the ten have a marked decrease in per cent. of attendance, while the three remaining have a corresponding increase.
The three schools to show a more favorable record than last year are Island Creek, Tarkiln and Point. The greatest im- provement has been in Island Creek, which is nearly six per cent. better. The comparative table follows below :

The teachers as a body are faithful to the duties devolving upon them, enthusiastic in their work, ever ready to take and act upon suggestions offered them in the hope of making the work easier and better. No superintendent ever had a more loyal corps of teachers through a period of ten years than those who have lived and worked in Duxbury during that time. No School Board has been more faithfully and conscientiously served for a decade than you have been served by your teach- ers. Whatever of merit there may have been, and may be now, in the schools, is entirely due to the faithful work, day after day, and month after month of those same teachers.
In closing this part of my report, I wish to call your at- tention to the fact that the Town of Scituate has passed the limit of valuation under which it is possible to draw from the treasury of the state, money on account of employment of a superintendent of schools, or from the school fund.
This will probably break up the district, or at least will necessitate some new arrangement. It is quite probable that Scituate will employ a superintendent alone.
I also wish to call your careful attention to the reports of the special teachers of music and drawing, and to the statis- tics of the several schools, all of which will be found on suc- ceeding pages.
Since the writing of my last report a great loss has come to the schools of Duxbury, in the passing away of our friend, brother, employer, and teacher, Nathan T. Soule.
As a friend and brother, he was faithful to every obligation those terms suggest. As an employer he was ever kind and helpful ; as a teacher, thorough, careful, and lovable. None knew him but to love him. A patient sufferer long before the end came, he never lessened his efforts to do his utmost for the school he loved, and for which he had worked so long.
"Peace be with thee, O our brother, In the spirit-land ! Vainly look we for another In thy place to stand.
If the spirit ever gazes. From its journeyings, back ;
If the immortal ever traces O'er its mortal track :
-69-
Wilt thou not, O brother, meet us Sometimes on our way,
And, in hours of sadness, greet us As a spirit may ?"
I desire to express to you my gratitude for your genuine support, not only for the year which this report is intended to cover, but also for my entire term of service.
I never expect to again find work so entirely congenial, for, and among people so genuinely helpful and sympathetic. Wherever my lot may be cast in the future, I shall never for- get the associations formed, nor cease to profit by the experi- ences that have been mine since coming among you.
Respectfully submitted,
EDGAR L. WILLARD, Supt. of Schools.

REPORT ON MUSIC.
To the Supt. of Schools :-
It gives me great pleasure to report to you the progress of the music in the schools of Duxbury. In many of the schools this progress is most satisfactory.
It is the aim of the supervisor, through the teachers, to have the children sing the exercises in their books readily with syl- lables, then without, and finally with words: but to have the first rendering as pleasing and expressive as when words are applied. Those children who are in the singing classes and practise regularly, read their exercises at sight, and in some of the schools, they read two-part music at sight.
In the first reader of the Normal Course, the book placed in all of the primary grades, there is nothing more to go on with after a few two-part exercises, and as the grades are contin- ually advancing, in spite of the fact that older children are leaving and younger ones coming in each year, it leaves the teacher quite at a loss to know how to go on. They are doing as many other things as they can beside reading the exercises ; paying especial attention to tone, and technical work not found
-70-
in the book. In the very lowest grades we are encouraging individual work, which is of great advantage but impossible in advanced grades unless the habit is formed early.
In the Grammar school, particularly thorough work is be- ing done in three-part music, and it must certainly bring forth good results. The most unfortunate thing in this room is that so many pupils were not in the habit of singing when they were younger ; you will notice that this does not imply that they cannot sing.
The Academy work is most interesting, the choruses after comparatively short practice are sung very creditably ; and that which shows real and encouraging progress is, the singers are able to change the phrasing, the expression, even the tone to some extent, according to the direction of the supervisor.
If this report comes to the notice of the citizens of the town, I would like to invite any and all to visit the schools and ask to hear them sing. There is more than one, school where the majority of the pupils are boys, and in these schools I would not promise that a visitor would hear all that they are capa- ble of doing, for obvious reasons ; but there are other schools that an enthusiastic supervisor thinks every parent and citizen should hear. To sing before people would also be of great benefit to the singers.
As a favor let me beg once more that no one shall assure a child, especially a very young child, even suggest to him, that he cannot sing. No harm will be done in the trying, and find- ing from experience, rather than by previous instruction, that he has no talent in that direction.
The teachers are to be heartily thanked for their most earnest and efficient work along the lines suggested by the supervisor.
Respectfully submitted.
LILLIE C. STODDARD,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The teaching of drawing in the public schools has been a source of much enjoyment to myself, and I trust it has been to the teachers and pupils. The children enter upon their work with much enthusiasm and nearly all try to do their best.
From the highest grades in the smallest schools I get some of the best work, probably because they have more personal at- tention than in the larger schools.
In the lower grades the children can have but little attention, since there cannot be a suitable lesson given them, it being im- possible to give two lessons at the same time the lesson has to be given for the older ones.
Last year at the Academy we were able to have drawing les- sons on two days of the week, instead of one as before; the in- terest was much greater the work accomplished much better. There is no truer saying than "Practice makes perfect." This year we have been obliged to go back again to the old program owing to the additional class in the regular course.
In spite of the very hard winter of 1904 the full number of lessons were given, unless the schools were closed on account of sickness, which happened in one case.
The improvement this year is quite marked. All realize that by trying, anyone can learn to draw fairly well. The nature studies in water colors show special improvement, many doing excellent work. More time devoted to the drawing would bring the quality of work up to the writing and singing. Per- haps the time will come when drawing will be a daily or tri- weekly exercise, then we shall see more satisfactory results.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRIET J. FORD.
Supervisor of Drawing:
December 31, 1904.
