THE School Committee of the Town of Braintree, respectfully submit the following Report for the year 1873-74.
REPORT.
HIGH SCHOOL.
CHARLES S. STETSON, A.M., Principal. Miss REBECCA M. HOLYOKE, Assistant.
This is an excellent school and your Committee take pleasure in commending the ability, learning and effi- ciency of the teachers. Nothing has occured during the year to disturb the harmony of feeling and action prevailing among all those interested in the school, and your Committee believe the progress of the pupils to have been very satisfactory.
Of the last years graduating class there were four who applied to enter college and all were admitted.
The following are the names of the graduating class this year. Minnie Rosenfeld, Cora J. Bates, M. Josie Dearing, Frederick W. Penniman, Walter D. Anglim and Edwin L. Shaw.
Fifty two new candidates presented themselves for examination in February last and of these twenty-eight were accepted.
54
Your Committee has noticed that from the twenty- five to thirty scholars annually entering this school an average of only five graduate after completing the four years course. Doubtless the principal reasons for this are, either that the services of the scholars cannot be spared by their parents excepting for a portion of the four years, or the future occupations of these scholars require them to begin a special training therefor before the expiration of that period. To meet the case of such as are thus obliged to leave school and afford them as nearly as my be a completed course of study for the time they remain, it has been thought best, in addition to the Four years course which will still be retained, to arrange an English course of study, to be completed in two years and a half, and for which scholars on completing it, shall be entitled to receive graduating diplomas.
