The work of the lower classes in both High Schools is so ar- ranged that when the schools enter the new building there will be a harmonious program.


In the words of a well-known judge, "The schools exist for the benefit of the children.'


Nearly four times as much is spent per pupil for fuel as for


106


text-books : $2.40 per pupil for fuel, $0.72 per pupil for text-books.


We believe that the greatest educational need of the town is a special teacher whose duty should be to assist children who need special help. Many scholars might thus be enabled to bring their work up to required standards Many enter our schools. Few graduate. Where is the leak?

TO YOUR HONORABLE BOARD, GREETINGS:


In pursuance of our duties as Fire Engineers of the Town of Chelmsford, striving for better protection of lives and property against unnecessary and careless fires, we have made our second annual inspection of public buildings which of course includes the school houses.


We are pleased to state that conditions are much improved over last year, we find that many of our recommendations have been heeded and feel that your board has done what you could with the means at your command toward improved conditions.


There are however some recommendations which we feel should be carried out in the near future.


Respectfully yours,


A. W. HOUSE, RALPH P. ADAMS, A. C. PERHAM.

Report of Superintendent of Schools


TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF CHELMSFORD :


I have the pleasure of respectfully presenting to you my second Annual Report.


I would call your attention to the school statistics brought up to December 31, 1916, and the inventory of school property.


The values of the school buildings and grounds were given me by the Assessors. For all other estimates I am responsible and while not close, yet on the whole, I believe will strike a very fair estimate.


In General


There have been but few changes in the personnel of the teaching corps this past year.


Nevertheless it was a distinct loss to us to have even these leave our employ. However I feel quite sure their places have been acceptably filled and that the work of the teaching force is as increasingly progressive this year as last.


High Schools


Beginning with the winter term of last year an extra teacher was added to the High School force at the Centre. This was made necessary in order to conform with the requirements of the State if we wished to secure certificate privilege to the State Normal Schools.


Both Schools were granted class A Certificates last year.


High School Teachers


NORTH


Last summer Mr. Arthur W. Trubey, principal of the North High School, resigned to accept a position in the High School in Dover,


108


N. H. Mr. Trubey had been principal for four years and was rated by the State Board of Education as a progressive and wide- awake man.


Mr. Evan W. D. Merrill, principal of the High School in Sud- bury, was elected to succeed Mr. Trubey.


Last June, Miss Ellen E. Coles, teacher ir the High School in Ashland, was elected teacher of English and French to succeed Miss Clara E. Macomber who had resigned.


Miss Gertrude A. Jones, a teacher in the High School, was transferred, last September, to the Princeton Street Grammar School and Miss Eleanor Berg was elected to her position in the High School.


CENTRE


Miss Edna Currier was added to the teaching force last winter.


Miss Edith L. Hart resigned during the winter and Miss Alice M. Pease was elected as her successor.


At the close of the summer term, Miss Pease resigned and Miss Gladys A. Merrill who was teaching in Chatham, was elected to her position.


Grade Teachers


Last September, Miss Laura B. Desmarais was transferred from the Princeton Street School to the principalship of the High- land School, Miss Katherine M. Quinn who had been principal of this School for some years, resigned during the summer.


The town met with a disinct loss when Miss Quinn left our services. She was an excellent teacher and efficient principal.


Other resignations were as follows: Miss Florence M. Stites from the Centre Primary, Miss Regina B. Frappier from the Golden Cove, Miss Ruth D. Crawford and Miss Mabel E. Haggerty from the South Chelmsford School.


Miss Esther Reid was transferred from the East to the Centre Primary, and Miss Hazel Knowlton from the South Row to the Golden Cove.


Miss Avis I. French was elected to the East Primary, Miss Almira Fuller to the South Row, Miss Gladys Jenkyn and Miss Elsie Fuller to the South Chelmsford School.


109


Changes at South Chelmsford


For the past two or three years the Lowell Normal School has had the privilege of using this school for a practice school. But during the past summer a change was made and this school is now under the control of the School Committee as in former years.


Some Changes in the School Work


For the past two years, courses in manual training, cooking, or office work and sewing were offered in the Princeton Street, Centre and South Chelmsford Schools.


This year, because of insufficient appropriation, these courses are not offered.


Home Gardens


A considerable number of pupils have been much interested in Home Vocational Projects.

REPORT OF THE CENTRE HIGH SCHOOL


Mr. A. W. SMALL,


Superintendent of Schools. Chelmsford, Mass.


Dear Sir :--


In compliance with your request, I herewith submit a brief re- port of the Centre High School for the year ending Dec. 31, 1916.


Although keenly aware of unfavorable conditions under which they were laboring, teachers have pinned their faith to hard work and by dint of persistent harmonious effort have won a goodly degree of success. Looking beyond the mere acquisition of know- ledge, our constant aim has been to inculcate in our pupils through habits of application and to kindle in them ambition to do some genuine thinking for themselves. Add to this, training, in season and out, for facility of expression, oral as well as written, and you have an outline of our efforts from the scholastic side. On the other hand, perhaps never before have your teachers so realized the importance of character-building and of preparation for good citizenship. After all is said and done, sturdy manhood and womanhood must ever be regarded as the finished product of any true education. In the absence of any standard for immediate measurement, we can only sow the good seed in this field, trusting that the future abundantly justify our efforts.

Thanking-teachers, Superintendent and Committee for hearty co-operation, I remain


Yours respectfully,


C. A. HOLBROOK, Principal.

NORTH CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL


Mr. ALBERTO W. SMALL,


Superintendent of Schools,


Dear Sir:


I respectfully submit the following report of the condition of the North Chelmsford High School at the present time The School was organized in September with an enrolment of eighty-seven pupils. Up to date nine have withdrawn, one on account of change of residence, one, a new pupil in the junior class, to go to Lowell for a classical course not yet organized in our higher classes, the others to work.


The individual aims of the pupils we have found to be more than usually indefinite. The majority without doubt will engage in commercial, industrial, or home activities after completing their courses, but there are a great many who want their school courses to be preparatory to further study in higher institutions.


Our special task has been to reconstruct the program of studies so that the interests of these pupils shall not be slighted, while ample vocational opportunity shall be given in the Commercial Courses. The program this year could not be a normal one but had to be arranged to readjust courses so that when both High Schools of the town are consolidated all pupils might be enrolled as far as possible proper to their year in school. The faculty of the School has been working faithfully to this end and with very satisfactory results. We shall be ready for the consolidation whenever it is deemed best to put it into effect.


We have given a great deal of attention to the elimination of confusion in school work and the establishment of good working order and habits absolutely essential to success, and the pupils have responded in excellent spirit to these efforts.


The attendance of too many pupils is very irregular and the waning interest in studies that results has been apparent in several


115


instances. Improvement is slow in this paricular and the thought- ful interest and cooperation of parents is very much needed. Three contributions on the part of the pupil, regular attendance, good order, and earnest purpose, are absolutely necessary to the success of the School.


The social spirit of the school, an aspect of school life often not duly apppreciated, is very much alive and of high quality. The Senior and Junior Classes have each conducted a dance well managed and greatly enjoyed by invited friends. Dancing is not to be the only form of entertainment offered by the school but it is becoming recognized more and more clearly that a school social organization, including parents, teachers, and pupils, is better fitted than any other to guide young people of school age in the proper enjoyment of this popular social pleasure, and to develop in them the highest qualities of good taste and deportment in social inter- course.


The kind appreciation of our efforts, the encouragement and active interest of yourself, the members of the School Board, parents, and friends of the school have helped us greatly in these first months of the year, and we are happy in the belief that our pupils too see or sincerely trust that the hard things are must often require of them are insisted upon to enable each one to attain his or her own highest power and development.


Respectfully submitted,


EVAN W. D. MERRILL, Principal North Chelmsford High School.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING


Mr. ALBERTO W. SMALL,


Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.


Dear Sir :- The following is a brief report of the drawing in the Chelmsford Schools.


During the year, I have endeavored to make the beauty of the everyday world about us, a more important factor in each child's life.


Freehand drawing has been taught in all of the Chelmsford Schools, and mechanical drawing in the upper grades and in High School. Each class has drawing for two periods each week, and I have tried to make their work practical and interesting.


I wish to thank the superintendent, committee, and teachers for their help in my work.


Respectfully submitted,


JESSIE ATWOOD,


Supervisor of Drawing.


117


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


Mr. ALBERTO W. SMALL,


Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.


Dear Sir :- I herewith submit my report of music in the Chelms- ford Schools.


The work has taken practically the same course as last year. The Sterrie Weaver System which has proved successful, is followed to a great extent although not wholly. For the past two summers I have attended the Institute of Music Pedagogy at Northampton, a school for music supervisors and have received much help and inspiration.


One problem confronting us is the monotone. Most mono- tones are cured in the first and second grades. The older the child the more difficult it is to help him. Monotones require much pa- tience and individual work on the part of the grade teacher.


In several schools there are Victrolas. The Victrola is a great benefit in musical education. It gives children an opportunity to become familiar with the different musical instruments, to hear the best music and the great artists. When used for marching, physical exercises, writing lessons and folk dances it aids greatly in teaching rhythm.


Theory and music appreciation are taught in the High School in addition to the chorus work. Students are, receiving credit for music. By no means does a student need to be a fine singer to receive a credit but he must show interest and know the subject matter or theory.


At the Centre High we have had no piano for the past year which has been a great handicap. A piano is needed for the new High School. This must be obtained if we wish our High School music to compare favorably with that of other towns. A fund of


118


one hundred dollars is waiting to be augmented. Most of the money was secured by means of a school entertainment at the Centre last March.


Again I wish to thank all who have helped to make my work successful.


Respectfully submitted,


M. MARION ADAMS,


Supervisor of Music. .

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIANS


Chelmsford, Mass., Jan. 15th. 1917.


Gentlemen :-


I have the honor to submit the following report for precincts one and four.


The number of cases of adenoids, enlarged tonsils and nasal obstructions appear to have decreased-several of each were found. Anaemia, blepharitis, enlarged glands, internal strabismus were few in number. There were 19 cases of measles, one of diphtheria, no cases of scarlet fever of school age.


A great many cases of whooping cough occured. Diseased teeth were common, but much care appears to be given to the teeth.


The parents have aided greatly in helping to prevent the spread of infection and deserve a large measure of praise.


Very respectfully, ARTHUR G. SCOBORIA, M. D.


School Physician, Precincts 1 and 4.
