More Room Imperative .- I should be derelict to my duty and renegade to the stewardship, which you have committed to me, did I not plead through you with the voters of the town for additional accommodations and adequate teaching force for the children of Ipswich, its best and dearest posses- sion, the first claimant upon its pride and care. I beg to press with you the recommendation in your report for a new schoolhouse at Agawam Heights, and for the enlargement

of the Winthrop school by at least four new rooms. These are a necessity in the immediate present. These secured, the future is not forestalled at all.
Your own report so admirable in spirit and in expres- sion, and so comprehensive in scope, press me from the ne- cessity of commenting upon our outlying ungraded schools, which I find doing worthy work under faithful instruction; upon changes of teachers and grades; and upon other im- portant subjects. You will grant me the privilege of a brief word for the Manning High School.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I wish to give the emphasis of my endorsement to the pithy report of Principal Marston, which is appended to this. His desire for another teacher is, in my judgment, reasona- ble and deserving of favorable consideration. A glance at the program of studies, so numerous and so diverse, will con- vince the discerning mind that our teaching force is too hard pressed and needs enlargement. A scant supply of teachers withholds from our aspiring youth their rightful privileges. The last report of the State Board of Education, 1903-04, shows that our school has a far larger number of pupils to each teacher than any other school in Essex County.
The principal, the supervisor of music. and the superin- tendent all agree that music should be a required study in the high school. Our girls, candidates for admission to Normal Schools, must pass an examination in the theory of music, To require music in the curriculum involves the use and heating of the hall on the third floor. A new heating equipment is an imperative need.
The supervisor of drawing, in her entreaty for the sim- ply furnishing and heating of the small room assigned to her, has the hearty approval of the principal and superin- tendent. For lack of this provision the department of
27
SCHOOL REPORT.
drawing is heavily handicapped, and our high school stu- dents are deprived of the advantages of students in schools elsewhere. The crying need is set forth in the attendant report of the supervisor, which is respectfully commended to your attention.
The principal asks yet once more for the whole Manning building for the high school. The necessity of this is so apparent that word from me is redundant. The space in this building now utilized by the schools of the eighth and ninth grades is meagre even to discredit. Surely the Win- throp school should have the enlargement asked for, that Miss Sullivan should no longer be shackled by a divided class, a portion studying under the eye of Miss Arthur and a portion reciting to herself in an apartment cramped to the dimensions of a moderate pantry. This space, though di- minutive for the grammar grades, would subserve very well the demands of the high school.
Mr. Marston's report has the naive and modest suggest- ion that "in the opinion of the teachers the school is some- what successful." Your superintendent makes free and frank declaration that we have a high school to respect and admire. The principal and assistants are all approved workmen, and have brought the school to a state of efficien- cy which should command the generous support of all our people. The communities adjoining us without high school advantages have found, and will continue to find, in Ipswich a school well suited to furnish an education preparatory to business, to college, or to private life of high thought and noble aim.
Co-operation of Parents .- If the youth of our high school are to make creditable progress, it is indispensable that they study some hours at home in the afternoon or evening. I would kindly bring to the attention of parents the importance of their co-operation with the teachers in securing this home study. Parents should provide a quiet
28
SCHOOL REPORT.
place for the pupils, and should see that a reasonable length of time is devoted to honest work in the tasks of the school. Teachers and parents are partners in the education of the children. Without the aid of parents, scholars who need a spur to study cannot maintain satisfactory standing, though the teachers be ever so interested and devoted.
The Supervisor of Drawing and Music .- We are to be felicitated on the possession in Miss Ratsey and Mr. Ker- shaw of well endowed and skillful teachers in their respect- ive branches of service. They have the esteem of scholars, teachers, and superintendent. If you would seek their mon- ument, look about you on the praiseworthy interest and attainment of our scholars in these elevating and refining departments of instruction .
Our Truant Officer .- I cannot refrain from a word about Mr. Garland as a truant officer. No teacher among us pur- sues her calling more intently than. Mr. Garland seems to watch the erring and delinquent children in our diversified population. The lawless inclined have a wholesome fear of him. His zealous care will save some wayward children from wreck.
A Word of Appreciation. - I seize this opportunity to give expression to my pleasure in the service of the Ipswich schools. The townspeople have been hospitable to me. The scholars without exeeption have been respectful and friend- ly. The teachers have been loyal, responsive to every sug- gestion, and helpful partners in our common service. Asso- ciation with them has been delight. To you of the commit- tee my unreserved thanks are extended for cordial co-opera- tion, wise counsel, and numerous kindnesses. That I may approve myself to your confidence shall be my aim and en- deavor. Respectfully submitted,
Ipswich, Feb. 9, 1906.

SCHOOL REPORT.
THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT.
Robert M. Martin,
Superintendent of Public Schools,
Town of Ipswich, Mass.
Dear Sir :- I have the honor to submit to you my report of the Manning High School for the year ending December 31, 1905.
The number of pupils enrolled is one hundred and three. One more teacher for the next year will be required. I most respectfully suggest that all pupils take music, and that they be examined in this study as in any other.
A properly equipped room for the teaching of drawing is needed. In order to obtain the best results the High School should have the use of the whole building.
In the opinion of the teachers the school is somewhat successful.
I wish to state a full appreciation of the zealous inter- est and aid of the assistants, the special teachers, the super- intendent, the trustees, and the committee.
Very respectfully, 1
J. P. Marston, Principal
DRAWING TEACHER'S REPORT.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The course in Art Instruction which we have been pur- suing has been described in previous reports, though no course of study can be regarded as fixed, if we expect to pro- gress.
If education is the complete development of the human being, this branch is the most important, as the highest sense is that of beauty; so let us give our pupils better ex- pression and a wider range of appreciation.
30
SCHOOL REPORT.
The subjects undertaken have been adapted to the school year as follows: In the autumn when the child is taken from the open air, trees and grass to the schoolroom, we study small plants, grasses and sedges in the meadows, to bring into the classroom as much of nature as possible.
Following naturally with the more brilliant coloring of October and November, we continue representations with crayon and brush.
Then we relate the same to the study of color, the ob- ject in this being, first, the recognition of names of colors with classification of all the tints and shades to the standard and their relation; second, the appreciation of color harmon- ies in objects and combinations; and third, the arrangement of the same in harmonies.
After Thanksgiving form study occupies the lower grades and pictorial drawing or the appearance of objects, the upper. This subject calls for close observation and shows more plainly incorrect or careless work than any other branch. This is the foundation of all art training.
To make this necessary subject interesting, we have hitherto composed groups of related objects and given the same a title. For instance, a teapot and cup and saucer sug- gest "A Cup of Tea," or "Afternoon Tea."
The first year class in the High School should be re- viewing the principles of perspective and shading drawings, the second and third year classes using charcoal as a me- dium. But these, as was spoken of in last year's report, are not accomplished facts as we are still without a room.
Together with object study, the famous artists and their . works: First, the study of the picture; second, the history of the artist and his other works; and lastly, the subject of composition.
In regard to construction, the children are themselves creators and in this subject are helped to form habits of ob- servation, neatness and precision.
In March and April we undertake structural design. £ A

SCHOOL REPORT.
study of the causes which produce beauty is the best means of cultivating a taste and giving a standard of beautiful forms.
In May and June conventional design from geometric and plant forms is studied and the historic schools of orna- ment.
Again, in the High School we should be studying me- chanical drawing, as this branch has not yet been relegated to Manual Training. Without a suitable meeting place we are obliged to leave the subject out of the curriculum alto- gether.
The time given by the supervisor of drawing is one, one half period a week to all primary grades and the Manning Street school, and one, forty-minute period to all four rooms in the Winthrop building and eighth and ninth grades.
My thanks are due the teachers for their help and in- terest and the committee and superintendent for their co-op- eration.
Ethel Wingate Ratsey.
MUSIC TEACHER'S REPORT.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
In this my annual report I would strongly recommend that the study of music in the High School be included in the regular course and more time given to it. We now only give thirty minutes each week at the regular visit of the su- pervisor, whereas the primary and grammar grades devote the first period each morning, besides the regular visit of the supervisor. I am very glad to say there is continued im- provement in the primary and grammar grades, dne in great measure to the enthusiasm of teachers. I would take this opportunity to thank them, also the committee and superin- tendent for their continued interest and support.

SCHOOL REPORT.
TRUANCY REPORT.
To the Superintendent and School Committee of Ipswich,
I beg to present the following report:
During the past year there have been reported to me 34 cases of truancy, 26 boys and 8 girls. All these cases were promptly investigated. 3 were found at home sick, and 1 was kept at home for want of clothing. I found 3 boys and 2 girls of school age not attending school. My thanks are tendered to teachers, superintendent and committee for their courtesy and unfailing co-operation with me.
Respectfully submitted,
A. S. Garland, Truant Officer . Ipswich, Dec. 31, 1905.
