In cooking it is our aim to train each girl to be not only a good cook but a thorough housekeeper. The girls are responsible for the order of the building and the care of supplies. Simple combinations of food are pre- pared and served. Our regular work is the making of bread, rolls, biscuits, soups, scalloped dishes, pastry, cake, cookies, desserts, steamed, baked, gelatine and fro- zen, sweetened and unsweetened sauces, and the cook- ing of cereals and vegetables. This year in addition some preserving has been done and we hope to sell the ' products at the time of the exhibition.
The aim of the sewing course is to give the girls a thorough knowledge of all the common stitches, methods of repairing clothes and some practice in simple dress- making. The first year is spent in learning and apply- ing the various stitches. A sewing bag, which brings in nearly all of the simple stitches, is the first article to be made, and after that the children are allowed to choose from a given list their work for the rest of the term. The making of dolls' clothes in the lower grades has proven to be of great interest and here the girls get their first experience with paper patterns. In this work more
36
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
especially than in cooking is the co-operation of the pa- rents needed and it is of great assistance to both pupils and teacher.
In the seventh and eighth grades darning and patch- ing are learned and simple articles of clothing are made on the sewing machine. The exhibition in the town hall last year gave some idea of the great variety of these articles made.
In the High School this year it was found possible to arrange the sewing period so that it is a part of the regular school session and not an extra afternoon session as is necessary in cooking. Work in this class varies greatly according to the previous experience of the pu- pil, some having had much outside training and others none whatever. . If sewing is taken up during the four years at High School at the completion of the course the student should be able to do all kinds of plain sewing and any simple dress-making.
It is hoped as time goes on that cooking and sewing may be made a more distinct part of the High School course and graded accordingly as is done in many of our larger towns.
Respectfully submitted,
Alice Madeline Hawkes.

MUSIC REPORT
Mr. J. P. Marston,
Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
I beg to submit the following report.
The course of study in school music, given you in my last annual report, has not been changed.
As the course is getting more familiar to the chil- dren, I find them more interested and the work progres- sing satisfactorily.
During the summer vacation, at the Burley and Win- throp schools, staves were painted upon the boards in each of the rooms, in order that the teacher might the
38
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
more easily demonstrate the principles that are taught each week.
Might I suggest that the same be done in every other room in our school buildings?
I also wish that our eighth grades might be united
in Manning Hall for at least one lesson each week.
I
know the results would be better than at present.
And, again, that some arrangement be made for the coming year, whereby either a chorus or glee-club could be formed in our High School.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you, the committee and teachers, who have so greatly assisted me in my work during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur Harold Tozer.

MANUAL TRAINING REPORT.
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
The interest shown in the Manual Train- ing School this year is very gratifying to me. The class is composed of boys who had the work last year, and the results show experience in the use of tools, some show- ing marked mechanical ability.
The models are along more practical lines, and are pieces of work which will be of use in their homes, and also in their play.
I have four senior High School girls, two taking basketery, and two woodwork. Their work is a credit to
47
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
them, and I am sure it will interest others to take it up the coming year. This is the first year basketery has been taught.
I wish we could have a small amount of machinery, which would give the older boys an idea of more prac- tical work. We have room for one lathe and a band saw. These would be of great benefit to the boys taking a college course, as we could take pattern making, wood- turning and a little machine work.
Respectfully,
W. W.Lunt.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of the Town of Ipswich, Gentlemen:
In reviewing the work of medical inspection for the past year and comparing it with pre- vious years, a notable improvement is manifest. The work of the various teachers has instilled into the minds of the pupils, through direct instruction and suggestion, the importance of self hygiene, and its effect on the pu- pils has been marked. The parents have in many in- stances joined in this work, and helped greatly to bring it up to its present standard. Many of the defects due to bad teeth, adenoids and enlarged tonsils, have been
49
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
remedied when they have been pointed out to the par- ents, and in many instances parents have had these cor- rections made of their own accord. The improvement along these lines has increased greatly during the past five years, and I believe a large part of it is due to the knowledge acquired by the pupils themselves, who in turn have impressed it upon their parents. Children are now quick to recognize bad sanitary conditions which formerly passed unnoticed, and this I believe portends well for the future, as it is these children who in a few years are to be responsible for the health conditions of the community.
There have been no epidemics or other sickness to seriously interfere with school attendance during the past year.
The number of pupils examined at school by request of the teachers 97
At office for certificates to return to school 55
At their homes 28

50
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
A law was passed by the last legislature requiring a new examination to be made by the School Physician of all minors employed in certain occupations. This en- tailed upon the School Physician as well as on the Super- intendent, a large amount of extra work, and accounts for the large number of examinations above noted.
Respectfully submitted,
George E. MacArthur, School Physician.

In common with thousands of others who have invested in stock of the B & M Railroad, the Trustees are disappoint- ed at receiving only one quarterly dividend during the year 1913, and at the great decline in market value. A railroad situate in such a populous territory ought however to recover its prosperity under good management, and we think it best to retain the stock looking for a return of better times.
