Grammar School Prize Exhibition
held under the auspices of the Jonas Perkins School Associa- tion, in the Assembly Hall of the Jonas Perkins School, on Friday evening, February 2, 1900.
The contest was between the Monatiquot and the Jonas Perkins Grammar schools, and was controlled by the follow- ing regulations :
The pupil shall be required to compete in the following lines of educational development :-- 1, declamation; 2, sight reading; 3, composition ; 4, spelling. A contest of this char- acter will be of great value in stimulating school instruction in a broad and wholesome manner.
The prize to be contested for shall be a banner suitably in- scribed, which shall be awarded to that one of the two schools named above whose average of all marks in the competing tests is highest; and said banner shall be a perpetual compet- ing trophy for all the elementary schools of the Town having pupils of the sixth grade and above, and shall continue in the possession of the school to which it is last awarded until awarded to some other school.
Two pupils, a boy and a girl, shall be chosen by the pupils of each competing school, under the direction of the principal, to represent the school in declamation; and two other pupils, a boy and a girl, shall be chosen in the same manner to rep- resent the school in sight reading.
All pupils of the grades named above shall write composi- tions on either of two subjects selected by this committee; and they shall also be given a spelling test substantially in the same manner and on the same basis as the one given by State Supervisor George A. Walton in 1878 to the schools of Nor- folk county.
The selection of pieces for declamations shall be made by the teachers of reading or literature in the classes from which
226
the pupils are chosen to declaim, the pupils being allowed a choice among a number of pieces.
The pieces for sight reading shall be selected by this con- mittee.
No piece for declamation or sight reading shall contain less than 200 words or more than 450 words. Each composition shall consist of not less than 200 words nor more than 800 words.
No pupil who recites shall be given assistance by any one outside of the members of his or her family, the teachers of the school, or for which payment is made. Pupils may receive from teachers and others all assistance possible in obtaining information regarding the subjects of composition; but they must write their compositions in the presence of the teachers and without assistance from any one, each pupil alone being responsible for the arrangement of thought, originality, para- graphing, sentence construction, choice of words, etc. .
The teachers shall be given opportunity to select pieces for declamations and to arrange for the choice of contestants in declamation and sight reading at least four weeks prior to the exhibition. The subjects for compositions shall be announced to the schools four weeks prior to the exhibitions, and the 'compositions shall be finished and given to the teachers at least ten days prior to the exhibition. When the compositions have been handed in, the pupils of each school under the di- rection of their teachers shall immediately select from the compositions the ten best and give them to this committee.
For purposes of identification the compositions will be given a private mark so that the compositions from each school may be distinguished by the committee of judges.
The standard of perfection in the various tests shall be 100. The different elements of the declamations and sight reading shall be marked on the following basis of perfection: Expres- sion, i.e., interpretation by the voice of authors' meaning or thought, 40; pronunciation, 20; quality of voice, 20; attitude, 10; gesture, 10.
