The school work has gone on without friction and there has been no break except that caused by contagious dis- eases, which the committee in conjunction with the Board of Health have endeavored to keep under control.
In the early fall cases of small pox were reported in vari- ous parts of the Commonwealth and the committee felt called upon to enforce the statute concerning vaccination, which had lain dormant for several years.
Upon an investigation, it was found that not more than one-half of the pupils attending school had complied with the provisions of the Statutes in regard to vaccination, Sec- tion 9, Chapter 47 of the Public Statutes reads as follows : "The school committee shall not allow a child who has not been duly vaccinated to be admitted to or connected with the public schools."
Notice was given to the scholars of this requirement and we are pleased to report a very general compliance with the law.
10
One of the things to be regretted is the disposition shown by many parents to allow their children to attend school only the legal time, and then call for a certificate to permit them to work in the mill.
It is undoubtedly true in some instances, that the earn- ings of these children are much needed to eke out the subsis- tence of a widowed and invalid mother, or to assist in the support of a large family with a sick father; but in too many cases it is done out of disregard for the welfare of the child and the community, and for the gain to be obtained from the labor of the child.
The result is to substantially terminate the child's educa- tion, for, if he is forced back to the school again by the requirements of the statutes he will accomplish but little. He has lost his place in his class, his mates have made great progress in his absence, his ambition is gone, he becomes dis- couraged and in a few months he will reach the age when he is beyond compulsory attendance and he drops out with just education enough to read a few simple sentences and write his name.
By the provisions of Chapter 348 Acts of 1888 and Chapter 352 Acts of 1892: "No child under thirteen years of agecan be employed at any time in any factory, work- shop or mercantile establishment and no child under four- teen years of age shall be employed in such places except during the vacation of the public schools in the town where he resides, unless the person or corporation employing him possesses and keeps on file a certificate from the school committee showing that he can read at sight and write legibly simple sentences in the English language and has attended some school during the year next preceeding such employment for at least thirty weeks."
. This legislation is in the right direction, but it would be better if the child could be kept in school until he was four- teen years of age.

MUSIC.
The study of music has been continued during the year with excellent results. The work was carried on under the instruction of Mr. E. A. Bradford until the close of the sum- mer term, when he resigned and Miss Laura A. Hubbard was elected to fill the vacancy.
Miss Hubbard is a good musician, possessed of an apt- ness to communicate her ideas, progressive and enthusiastic in the work and has been able to gain the good will and earnest attention of the pupils and lead them to good re- sults.
This is one of the most pleasing studies in which our scholars are engaged and parents only need to visit the schools and hear the pupils drill, read and render their musi- cal studies to fully appreciate what is being accomplished in this department of school work. All who were present at the closing exercises of the Manning Schools last June and listened to the rendering of the grand- choruses by those com- bined schools, must have been strongly impressed with the ability and faithfulness of the teachers, and the capacity of the pupils in this branch of our studies.
It ought to be said in justice to our teachers, that while the music teacher lays out the work, and directs how it shall be wrought out and drills the scholars for an hour each week, that to the teacher of each school is due a large part of the credit, for upon them devolves the duty of the daily drill, which makes possible such fine results.
DRAWING.
Efforts have been made several times to introduce draw- ing into our public schools, but the attempts have failed to accomplish much because few of our teachers were experts in
12
this work, and the most that was done was for the pupils to draw a few straight lines and attempt, like the old fash- ioned method of teaching penmanship, to imitate some copy. The result has been that the pupils did not become interested and the teachers soon became tired of the work and it was dropped. During the past year, the committee feeling the importance of training the hand, eye, taste and judgment of the pupils, and knowing that such training would be of great benefit to the scholars in after life determined to introduce drawing in the graded schools.
Miss Hattie D. Condon, who has had a thorough drill at the Boston Normal Art School and had proved herself to be a capable and successful teacher in other places, was em- ployed and the supplies for this study were provided. We are pleased to report that she has awakened an interest among the schools in drawing and they have worked dili- gently under her instructions and have begun to demon- strate the success of this study. It has been well said that, "It is hard to bring about a realization of the fact that all children of average ability can learn to draw, that drawing is not only for one or two in every school who have a natur- al aptitude for it, but that it gives training and development that is possible and helpful to all, development in a direction that can be followed to the same extent by no other study."
PUPIL-TEACHERS.
Every year the committee have applications from grad- uates of our High School for positions as teachers. There are usually many more applicants than vacancies.
In most instances our schools require a person of some experience to be able to accomplish much.
Many people have an idea that because a young lady has graduated from a High School, she must be fitted to
13
teach. But it should be remembered that it requires a knowledge of the methods of teaching and governing, as well as of the subjects to be taught, to become a successful teacher.
In order to supplement our High School work in methods of teaching, we have encouraged graduates who are desirous of becoming teachers, to be- come assistant teachers in some of our large schools without pay and several have availed themselves of this arrange- ment to their own advantage, as well as the interest of the schools. Miss Hattie W. Brown has been an assistant un- der Mr. Horton in the Grammar schools, and Miss Kate C. Baker, Miss Mary E. Archer, Miss Lizzie B. Caldwell and Miss Edith F. Perley in intermediate and primary schools, and the result has been the development of several promis- ing teachers. The committee have frequently been troubled to find a substitute to take charge of a school during the sickness or absence of the teacher. This system promises to remedy that difficulty and benefit those graduates of our High school who are seeking such employment.
TRUANCY
The truant officers report thirteen cases of truancy to which their attention was called during the year. In several instances they were persistent cases and required many efforts to get them back to their school work. This was accomplished without resorting to a complaint and arraign- ment in court. The officers in their report truly say, "the wisdom of the statute enactment relative to the truancy of children is best seen in the per centage of attendance in the schools of the town, rather than in the few returns of
14
scholars to the school room that are wilful in their persis- tence to thwart the wishes of parents and of school officials in their attendance at school. The fact that an officer clothed with power sufficient to compel the presence at school of such as would idle their hours upon the street, has a deterring power over many an urchin who has a penchant to avoid the school room, and none are better aware of this truth than the children themselves."
THE UNGRADED SCHOOLS.
There are seven of these schools, all of which labor under difficulties which the graded school do not suffer.
In several of them the number of scholars are too few to inspire much ambition in teacher or pupil. In others, having respectable numbers. like Linebrook, Village and Candlewood, there are so many classes to be heard and so few in a class that the best results cannot be attained. A teacher can hear a class of twenty as easily as a class of two and there is likely to be much more interest and enthusiasm in the recitation of the larger than the smaller class.
In all of these schools the teachers have labored hard and endeavored to make the best of the conditions and the result has been generally quite satisfactory. The Linebrook with twenty-nine pupils, the Village with twenty-six and Candlewood with twenty pupils make a better showing as to numbers than for several years. The Appleton School was closed during the winter for lack of scholars.
15
PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS.
All of these schools are in excellent condition and will compare favorably with schools of like grade in any city or town in the county.
One of the difficulties under which the Primary work is now carried on is the lack of school room. One hundred and four scholars in the Payne school and an even hundred in the Dennison room, are too many for two teachers to handle to the best purpose. In the near future the town must make provision to relieve the congested condition of these schools. Other rooms must be provided and other schools established.
The three Intermediate schools, with an enrollment of one hundred and thirty-five pupils have maintained the high standard which they have held for many years. Such might be expected while the same teachers remain in charge of them. The scholars are thoroughly drilled in the work required of them and when promotion day arrives are well fitted to enter the Manning schools and go on with their studies there.
MANNING SCHOOLS.
. Two hundred and thirty-nine scholars are enrolled in the four schools in the Manning building. One hundred and seventy-five in the Grammar department and sixty-four in the High school.
The average attendance for the year in the Grammar schools has been one hundred and twenty, and in the High school forty-two and two-tenths.
No change of teachers has occurred in any of these schools during the year and very thorough work has been done in all of them.
16
The work in the Grammar department is carried on with much zeal and the pupils seem to catch the inspiration from the teachers and put forth their best efforts. One of the features of these schools is the practical turn which is given to the teaching. Every new subject and rule is illustrated by the teacher in some practical way and the scholar is taught to apply it to some problem occurring in every day life, and the result is that the pupils are not only being devel- oped mentally, but are acquiring and storing up a fund of information which will be of the greatest value to them in after life.
The High school, under its present principal, has increased its usefulness in a marked degree. Order has come out of chaos and work instead of idleness.
There is not so much spirit and energy displayed in the recitation as in some of the other schools, and this arises in part from the studies pursued, which do not admit of such high pressure recitations. But the aim is to develop and expand the mental powers and teach the pupil how to study and work out for himself the subjects he is pursuing.
It is evident that the parents do not fully appreciate the advantages and opportunities which this school offers their children, for out of a school population of eight hundred and fifty pupils only about a dozen graduate from it each year.
There is an inclination among too many scholars, who could easily complete the High school course, to abandon their studies on graduating from the Grammar school. Other's enter the High school only to drop out before com- pleting the course. Such boys and girls need some one to encourage them to continue their studies. Such encourage- ment from their parents would be of great value to them later in life and it should be of the kind that would lead them to complete the High school course. Such scholars are not capable of judging what will be best for them and need guidance and control in such matters
17
They will need all the education which they can obtain from our public schools, if they expect to compete successfully with the great number of young men and women who are being graduated from High schools, academies, seminaries and colleges every year.
There is not a subject taught in our schools, whether it be language, science, philosophy, chemistry or literature that will not be helpful and useful, indeed absolutely neces- sary if one expects to acquire a lucrative and honorable position in life. Many a boy has learned to his sorrow and chagrin, when it was too late to remedy the matter, that there are many very desirable positions in the business world which cannot be obtained unless the applicant can furnish evidence that he is a graduate of some High school or other institution of equal standing.
We cannot impress too strongly upon the parents the importance of graduating their children from the High school. It will be a legacy for which they will thank you in after life.
