In reviewing the work of the year it is gratifying to state that the spirit of co-operation and interest which has pervaded the school system in the recent past still manifests itself as a prominent feature, and the Committee desires to avail itself of this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge its sense of obliga- tion to the teachers for their zeal and devotion, and to the par- ents, who, by their support and encouragement, are rendering that vitally important assistance which such service represents.
The corps of teachers has continued practically unchanged, but few substitutions having been necessitated by resignation by those familiar with the school work, and, as all success depends upon organization, so the cohesiveness of the teaching force has
2,300.00
2,273.15
26.85
137
largely augmented the effectiveness of the school work, and has been a most important factor in that slow but steady progress which the Board believes the schools are making from term to term, and from year to year.
The most important change which has taken place was occa- sioned by the resignation, as Superintendent, of Mr. J. C. Anthony, whose services were relinquished with most sincere regret on the part of this Board, and to whose influence has been due, to a large extent, the advance which the schools have made during his three-year incumbency of office.
In Mr. Ralph L. Wiggin, however, a gentleman thoroughly prepared for the work and of much educational experience, a worthy successor to Mr. Anthony has been fortunately secured, and the broad and liberal policy which has characterized the last regime will be continued, with such modifications as demands may make desirable.
The year has been one of rigid economy, made necessary by ever increasing expenses. The equipment of the schools leaves much as yet to be desired, and falls far short of the standard which the Town should demand maintained. Many of the text books in daily use are inadequate, soiled, disfigured, and muti- lated, and are hygienically unfit to be in the hands of the pupils. By their incompleteness the work of the teacher is retarded, and, by their uninviting appearance, an undesirable disregard .for neatness and the property of others can but be engendered in the minds of the scholars. It is in every way to be desired that the rehabilitation of this part of the school equipment, which was begun last year, be continued, and the Committee will ask a special appropriation of $1,500 for this purpose.
The erection of the Abraham Lincoln School in Precinct II, now nearing completion, will relieve the crowded condition of the Jonas Perkins School, but conditions existing in the High and Monatiquot Schools demand immediate attention and effective relief.
At the present time the High School has an enrollment of 227 pupils, greatly overtaxing the accommodations, which are adapted to about 175. The library, office, and other rooms not intended for the purpose are used for recitations, and in the lab- oratory at certain times two recitations are in progress simul-
138
taneously, a state of affairs decidedly detrimental to the health of the pupils, as this room should never be used for purposes other than that for which it was originally intended. The Com- mercial room is much overcrowded, and recitations are heard there while the noise of a dozen typewriters operated by another class adds to the confusion, and distracts the attention of the students.
Under the conditions which prevail it is manifestly impos- sible to give the pupils that attention on the part of the teacher which they should individually receive, and which the efficiency of their work makes imperative. Next year the classes will in- crease, and the problems which confront us today will be still more difficult to solve. An entering class, estimated on a basis of last year's percentage, of approximately 85 pupils, will go into the school, 21 will graduate, and, figuring the withdrawals, which are now, fortunately, very small numerically, the enrollment-can be conservatively estimated at between 250 and 275 scholars.
The growth of the High School during the past three years has been a source of much gratification to the Committee, and we believe it has been equally so to the citizens of the Town.
The percentage of Grammar school graduates availing them- selves of the opportunities for a supplementary education in special studies in more advanced lines is very large, and is con- stantly increasing, and it is the desire of this Board to foster and encourage this in every possible way.
To give the pupils that attention to which they are entitled, adequate accommodations are indispensable. These can be secured by giving to the High School the two rooms now occupied by four Grammar grades.
In the Monatiquot and Union schools the same unfortunate condition prevails. Grades V and VI in the Monatiquot School building are combined under one teacher and an assistant, and the office of the Superintendent is given up for the recitations of one of these classes.
The unsanitary and wholly unsatisfactory condition of the Union School is too well known and acknowledged to need special comment here. The crowded condition of the school . has made necessary the hiring of a building formerly used as a factory, in which one room has been fitted up, and to which the pupils of one class of the Union School have been removed.
139
Thus it will be seen that the Monatiquot School, comprising. the Primary and Grammar grades, which should be housed in one building, and under the supervision of an efficient Principal,. with the advantages and the spirit of co-operation which such an: arrangement entails, now occupies quarters in three different buildings, and is entirely lacking in that unity of purpose and that mutual helpfulness which characterizes other similar schools- in the Town.
The Committee, therefore, unanimously and strongly rec- ommends the raising and appropriating of a sum of money suf- ficient for the land, erection and equipment of a ten-room school -- house, to be located in Precinct II, in which the classes now in the Monatiquot Grammar and the Union and Union Annex shall be combined.
After full discussion and consideration, it was voted to rec -- ommend the appropriation of $46,290, in detail as follows :

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
'TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE :-
I have the honor of presenting to you the following report of the schools of Braintree. This report is the twenty-fifth in the annual reports of the superintendents.
The schools are well organized, are in good condition, and, in so far as the appropriations have allowed, are well equipped.
During the summer vacation special repairs were made on the Penniman school ; the roof was thoroughly strengthened, and, thanks to the co-operation, and public spirit of the Penniman School Association, the hall has been plastered, and its appear- ance otherwise generally improved. The walks of the Jonas Perkins, and Monatiquot schools have been re-graded, and re- made, and arrangements effected for carrying off the surface water which has been the cause of much annoyance, and incon- venience in the past. Book-cases that were much needed were placed in the Principal's room at the Noah Torrey.
An excellent spirit of sympathy, earnestness, and co-opera- tion prevails throughout the entire teaching corps, and student body. Few changes have been made in the teaching force, thus permitting the work to go along smoothly, and uninterruptedly in all of the departments. Increase in the size of the classes has necessitated the employment of additional teachers. The em-
141
ployment of a principals' assistant has aided greatly in the work: of the larger schools. When "The Abraham Lincoln School" is completed the crowded condition at the Jonas Perkins school will. be relieved.
The earnest efforts of the principals and teachers for a bet- ter record has resulted in a higher per cent of attendance for the past year than has been known in previous years, yet the- attendance is not what it should be. Regular attendance at school means much to children in the formation of habits of regularity, and punctuality. The parents should see to it that their children are neither absent nor tardy but for the best of reasons.
That the public may take a closer interest in the real work of the schools, and be given the opportunity to see the schools at work, one day in each term will be announced as a Public Day. Upon these days the public will be invited to inspect the work of the schools-this does not mean that the schools are not open at any time to those who may desire to visit them. On the public- days the work of the schools will go on as usual, no special preparation being made. Work, however, which a teacher might wish to show, and in the usual visits of parents and friends of the school, overlook, will be displayed.
In the spring term Mrs. Marshall was engaged as a special. teacher in writing. The muscular system of writing was intro- duced into the schools. Writing in the fall term has received special attention. The teachers have received instruction in the methods of teaching the movement. The pupils seem much in- terested.
For the equipment of the new building, and in view of the. condition of many of our text-books, the appropriation for text- books and supplies must be materially increased, if the Commit- tee is to place the best books, and in sufficient number in the hands of the pupils.
The High School is overcrowded. Out of an enrollment of 233 in the fall term, but 6 have left the school. A total number of 227 is now in regular attendance. The changes in the courses of study that have made it possible for boys and girls to take up subjects that have a direct bearing upon work that the students- may do in after life are, no doubt. responsible for this stability
142
of the students. New desks, chairs, typewriters, and more com- plete equipment for the laboratories are much needed. The ·spirit of the school is of the best, the work done of a high order.
Beginning with the present school year, the health of our school children has been under the care of the Board of Health. Individual members of the board look after the health of the children in appointed sections. One day in each week is given as a visiting, and examination day. All children that have about them any of the signs of contagious diseases, or who come from homes where such diseases are known to exist, are promptly excluded from school until the period of contagion is passed. In cases of emergency where the advice of a physician is deemed advisable, unless otherwise requested, the physician in whose section the emergency arises responds to the call of the teacher. Excellent work is being done in this department, prompt action in excluding suspected cases has prevented epidemics. The eyes and ears of the children are examined each year by the teachers. This is done in accordance with the requirements of the state law relative to the sight and hearing of children. The apparatus for these examinations is furnished by the state. These examina- tions are of importance in detecting far sight, and near sight, and any of the ordinary defects of hearing. The total number examined last year was 1321, of this number 175 had some trouble with the eyes ; 36 were not normal in hearing. One hun- dred and twenty-seven of the parents were notified.
Emphasis is being given in our schools to the care of the throat and teeth, and to the necessity for strict laws in regard to sanitation. The sanitary drinking fountains have found their way into one of our schools, they should be placed in all of our schools. Many of the causes of backwardness and dullness in children can be remedied by the removal of adenoids, swoolen tonsils, and defective teeth. The necessity for prompt action, and the importance of relief in remediable defects should not be underestimated by the parents. Eye-strain in the child often means neurasthenia in the adult. All progress in our schools really has its basis in the physical well-being of the child. Dur- ing the period of growth there should be frequent examinations of the child to see if his physical condition will permit him to ·cope with the school work.

In conclusion I wish to thank the Committee for their help- ful support and advice.

R. L. WIGGIN.
