IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
and bearing on hard. To assist in this the use of pen and ink and writing books should be supplied to the third grade.
In order to economize the teachers' time and for the preservation of the children's eye-sight by avoiding the nec- essity of reading so much from the blackboards, a practice which is a severe strain even in the best lighted rooms, I think it wise to supply the upper Primary schools with arithmetics.
In reviewing the work of the year there are evident signs of progress. The addition of the Village building to the Payne school has been a great relief. The new heater in the Dennison has made that building much more comfort- able. Oiling the floors of several rooms has made them
more presentable and cleanly. The work done in the Pri- mary schools has been concentrated upon the subiects which the children can easily master in those grades. The work in the second and third grades is several months in advance of what it was last year at this time. These grides have been supplied with several sets of supplementary readers which have been a great pleasure and source of profit to the chil- dren. The introduction of Frye's geography in the gram- mar grades has had a tendency to make the work more broadening and interesting. The language work in all grades shows a marked improvement along the lines of ac- curacy and fluency.
SALARIES.
We are paying some of our Primary teachers more this year than formerly, which is a much deserved increase. When it is taken into consideration how much tact and skill are required to start children with correct habits of school life a salary should be paid sufficient to secure for the Pri- mary schools experienced and competent teachers. Even at the present salary, it is my observation that Ipswich pays lower salaries to its Primary teachers than do most other
41
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
towns similar to it. When the salary paid a teacher is not sufficient for her even to pay her board and clothe herself, much less to save anything for summer support or personal culture, it is impossible to get a teacher unless she can live at home. When there is not a local applicant competent to satisfactorily fill the position, the result is that an incompe- tent teacher is forced into the schools to the lasting detri- ment of the children.
In our zeal for mental growth we sometimes lose sight of the more important part of education which is the forma- tion of correct habits of heart and will. Upon correct habits of heart, the proper spirit towards people and work, depends the progress of the world and the welfare of society. Schools should develope the power of appreciation, enable pupils to concentrate the mind upon the work in hand and to search out for themselves new knowledge. The teacher who has the power to inspire with ambition, to arouse in her pupils a passion for knowledge, combined with the purpose to be manly and true, is a powerful agent in building up charac-
ter. We must not forget what a mighty factor is the per- sonality of the teacher upon her pupils. So many times I have seen schools with a town reputation for disobedience become in a few months under an inspiring teacher a model school; also, I have seen the reverse happen, where the best disposed children lose all restraint under an incompetent teacher. I speak of these things because some are likely to underestimate the teacher's calling and to think that she is just a medium for injecting learning into the minds of her pupils.
ATTENDANCE.
The per cent. of attendance shows a slight falling off from last year, for which the epidemic of small pox last spring is mostly responsible. The method of reckoning ten days absence before a pupil's name it dropped from the mem-
42
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
bership roll in accordance with the directions of the regis- ter, has also been somewhat responsible in diminishing the per cent. Our per cent. of attendance is only 90, which is lower than the average of the state. The schools of Ips- wich should have an average of 93 or 94 per cent. Children are ingenious in inventing excuses to stay out of school and parents are many times very thoughtless for the welfare of their children in keeping them out of school on the slightest provocation. With our excellent truant offcer, Mr. Garland, we should succeed in improving the attendance. It seems to me Mr. Garland might be paid an amount sufficient to enable him to call once a week at each of the schools to examine the registers and find out the reason for absence.
CHANGE OF TEACHERS.
There have been very few changes in our corps of teachers during the last year. Miss Stella Adams, who as- sisted in the Payne school last year, was elected to the Line- brook to begin in September. Owing to sickness in the fam- ily, Miss Adams requested a leave of absence and Miss Mary E. Prescott acted as substitute during the fall term. Miss Prescott has done a fine work for the Linebrook school. Owing to illness in her family she has resigned and Miss Sadie Dow is now in charge of the school. Miss Alice Burn- ham has changed from the Argilla to the Appleton school, and Miss Lucy B. Story was elected to the Argilla. Miss Williams, a student of Bates College, has been assisting in the Payne school this year with marked success. Miss Hodg- kins, of the Cogswell, was unable to return in September and Miss Edith Perley has been acting as substitute during the year.
MUSIC.
During the fall term Mr. MacArthur resigned his poz
43
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
sition as music teacher and Mr. Joseph Kershaw was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Kershaw took hold of the work with energy and a determination which is resulting in a marked improvement in the work. The earnestness of the teacher of music inspires enthusiasm among the pupils and regular teachers.
DRAWING.
Ipswich may be proud of the work done by its schools in drawing. The work could be still further im- proved by having a room in the Manning building fitted up for drawing, to be used by the pupils of the High school.
PENNY-SAVING SYSTEM.
Last spring, at the inspiration and suggestion of the Woman's Club, the penny-saving system was begun in our schools. Like many new things it was taken hold of with enthusiasm and pennies poured in rapidly. The enthusiasm has somewhat abated but the collections are considerable each week. The keeping of these accounts involves extra work upon the teachers' part, but they are willing to do whatever will promote the welfare of their pupils. Inculcat- ing the habit of saving is one of the most useful purposes a teacher or parent can have. The boy or girl who has albank account has more courage and ambition than one who has not. The reports from the different schools show that an appreciable number of children have become bankers. We need the assistance of the people of the town in this work. If the parents would visit the schools and encourage the children to save the pennies which go for candies or for more harmful luxuries, much greater progress could be made.
The table which is published in the Appendix shows the amount deposited up to date, the amount drawn out by
44
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
the children and the number of bank books obtained. When a child deposits up to the amount of three dollars he receives a bank book and gets interest on his deposit. .
I wish to express on behalf of the teachers and myself our sympathy to the family of our deceased member of the school committee, Mr. Charles S. Cummings. He was always ready to assist in any work which would promote the well- being of the children of our schools, and we shall all miss his kindly face and encouraging words.
To the teachers of the town I extend my grateful ap- preciation for their loyal efforts to further everything which tends to promote the cause of education in our town; to the committee I acknowledge my indebtedness for thoughtful and wise suggestions which have made my work easier and pleas- anter; and, likewise, to thank them for their loyal devotion to the interests of the schools.

Superintendent of Schools.
PRINCIPAL'S REPORT.
School Committee,
Ipswich, Mass.
I submit a brief report of the Manning High School for the school year 1903.
The membership of the school is one hundred and twenty-one. Fifteen pupils from Rowley and two from Hamilton attend. The first class numbers eighteen; the second class numbers eighteen; the third class numbers forty
45
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.
four; the fourth class numbers forty. One pupil is pursuing a post-graduate course. There are forty-eight boys and seventy-three girls. No important change has been made in the course of study during the year. I wish to state that the High School needs for its use the entire building, that another teacher is required for the coming year, that an ap- propriation for the purchase of physical apparatus should be made. The work of the school cannot be carried on efficient- ly with the present number of instructors. I appreciate any suggestions made for the good of the school.
Very respectfully,
John P. Marston, Principal.
MUSIC REPORT.
To the School Committee :--
I herewith submit a brief report of the music in the schools. I was elected to succeed Mr. MacArthur in the fall term 1903, and found his high standard of work, both Tonal and Theory, plainly in evidence. The Primary grades are all supplied with the Normal Text Books, and are doing excellent work, as are also the Grammar and High schools. I cannot speak too highly of the work of the teachers whose hearty co-operation has been very helpful to me. I also wish to express my thanks to the school committee and the su- perintendent for the interest and support which has been ex- tended to me.
Respectfully yours, Joseph Kershaw, Instructor in Music.

DRAWING REPORT,
To the Members of the School Committee :-
The course in drawing has been fully described in pre- vious reports and all who can recall the general outline will understand what was undertaken, and those who attended the exhibitions in the respective class-rooms saw the result of the attempt. Our aim during the year has not been to have a separate course to be adhered to strictly and under- stood only by the teacher in charge. To gain our ideal which is beauty, drawing should be merged into every branch of school work in every hour of every day. "Beauty is not the result of chance, luck or accident; it arises through conformity to law. Every task in drawing is a problem, the principles of which must be known that successful work may be done." In the High school we are handicapped in carrv- ing out these principles by the absence of a suitable room. We should not require what we cannot do ourselves. and is it sensible to expect any creditable work from a flying weekly visit to a room laden with brush. paint, water. paper and models, to be hurried away in thirty minutes with the same encumbrances? If an inspiration is gained, the worker should be allowed to stay and finish the problem or return at will during another study period. Many thanks are due the town for their cheerful help in continuing to frame pic- tures bought by the children's savings. The Dennison school have added four to their very bare walls the last two months

TRUANCY REPORT.
To the School Committee :-
During the last year there have been reported to me 57 cases of truancy, of which 51 were boys and six were girls. This is somewhat more than last year, owing, I think, to more care on the part of teachers to keep up the attendance. It has not been necessary to send any to the truant school. I have endeavored to attend promptly to cases reported to me, and children found loitering about the streets have been taken to school. My earnest endeavor has been to assist the teach- ers and enforce the law. I wish to express my thanks to the teachers and school authorities for appreciation of my efforts.
