Our school recesses offer a splendid opportunity for the development of good habits of play. To be sure, the large number of children which have to be accommodated makes this a hard problem during school hours, yet 1 find that organized recesses lead up to better free play and to good habits of recre- ation. It is the teacher's principal means of reaching the whole

child. It helps the child by counteracting the evil effects of se- dentary occupations, it fosters character and civic virtue, it de- velops the motor brain, makes intellectual training easier and the whole school life more attractive, and last but not least, it makes the teacher more attractive to the children, becoming as much a boon to the one as to the other.


We are more than ever learning that education for service demands on the part of the teacher a knowledge of the whole child and not a knowledge of his capacity for academic training alone. How are we going to know about the "wrinkles" in a child's character and how can we find out the "queer" habits he may be developing, unless we give him a chance to expose them? It is a teacher's business to iron out the wrinkles and to train away the queer habits.


Since it would cost very large sums of money to provide gymnasiums and well equipped playgrounds and since these in turn would require specially trained instructors, I beg to call your attention to the value of"Games and plays for the develop- ment of manipulative skill, judgment, and attention for Primary and Grammar grades and Junior High schools" which I have developed for a number of years and which we employ in the schools of Ipswich.


This form of play may be called our laboratory method of developing accurate and instant response to direction. This may be simple or complex and may demand on the part of each child more or less complex neuromuscular adjustment. 't gives opportunity to observe and compare individual mental powers and physical skill and furnishes innumerable variations for training special skill and judgment. The eyes and ears, the arms and legs are constantly exercised in diverse relations. But with all this there is constant opportunity for developing good postures during physical application. The child, by being sud- denly called upon to go or to run to a certain place and there


. 70


IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.


. to execute a variety of definite evolutions with his hands, invol- ving a quick and finely balanced adjustment of trunk and leg movements, is not only training mental powers such as atten- tion, memory, and judgment, but also acquires good bodily poise. This training in a large variety of exercises demanding keen senses and fine manipulative skill, together with quick ad- justment of postures, not only promotes general mental and phy- sical efficiency, but is a greatly needed preparation for a great variety of vocations.


Many modern vocations not only require accurate manip- ulative skill, but also speedy repetitions of movements and quick co-ordinations. By making many of these plays competitive we prepare directly for modern conditions where innumerable new tools and machinery are constantly being introduced and where speed as well as accuracy forms an important factor in the earning capacity of the worker. We further stimulate by these competitive methods individual as well as group efforts.


Competition unifies the mind of the child by a concentra- tion of all his physical, mental, and moral strength upon a given problem. Competition is the element in games which makes them so pleasurable to the average human being. It has always been the great force in human progress. Individual competi- tions are especially characteristic of the period of childhood from five to thirteen years of age.


All games promote the social feeling by the promotion of friendliness. This develops group consciousness and stimu- lates co-operation.


Here we have, therefore, a powerful agent for developing physical, mental, moral, and social virtues. Because we can do this work in infinite variations and with very simple and inex- pensive tools in our schoolrooms, and because we can use the desk arrangement of lines and files so readily for individual and team competitions, we have not only a fine laboratory


71


IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.


equipment for the development of manipulative skill, but also a fundamental means of teaching games and organizations.


It is possible to judge accurately starts and finishes and fair observance of rules and regulations.


We can observe and stimulate fair play, good leadership, and hearty co-operation. We can develop the finest possible skill in building up blocks, in setting up candle pins, in tossing the bean bag to a target or to a partner. Color, weight, shape, and numbers of implements allow an infinite variety of combi- nations which can never become monotonous.


To be sure we cannot develop many of these activities to such a degree of vigorous physical exertion as they are possible of execution outdoors or in a gymnasium, but they have enough physiological value to be called truly recreational. On account of their attractiveness for children and their great educational value of developing skill and organization they prove to be a splendid means for stimulating the play life of our children.


Many of these exercises can be conducted in the school- yards and our playgrounds, but a great many require an abso- lutely level surface. If level platforms are available outdoors, all these games can be used there.

REPORTS OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN AND SCHOOL NURSE.


To the Superintendent of Schools, Ipswich, Mass.


Dear Sir :-


The general health of the children as revealed by the examinations this year is excellent. Coming as the exam- inations did after the pandemic run of Influenza with its com- plications, it was rather surprising that the school children as a whole, many of whom had the disease in the Fall, showed no after effects. Of course, there were a few who did, but the per- centage was so small as to be negligible. Right here, I believe, is found one of the results of the work which this department recommended last year that the schools take up, viz: Physical Training. This was adopted in the schools and I have watched its development with keen interest. Nothing in my opinion that has been added to the work of the schools in recent years has been of so great benefit to the children. It is doing much to develop strong, healthy bodies. The mental gain that is sure


73


IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.


to follow the training will be in evidence later, as the work goes on. I would recommend that this work be further devel- oped during the coming year.


One thing revealed by the examinations is that the law re- quiring vaccinations against small pox has not been fully com- plied with. There are too many unvaccinated children in our schools. The duty rests first with the parents, and there it ap- pears the laxness begins. It is true that neither the school or health authorities have been insistent that the law be rigidly enforced, but it is time that existing conditions be remedied. While it is true that the school physician is a member of both the School and Health Boards it should be borne in mind that he is not the Boards. With them rests the authority and power to enforce rules and laws governing school attendance. The school physician in thus calling the attention of the proper au- thorities to the facts is only doing his official duty. He stands ready to carry out any instructions of the health or school au- thorities.


The sanitary conditions of the central buildings and the Burley are excellent. Conditions at the Cogswell are not only bad, they are a menace. Some provision should be made that the health of the children may be protected. Not to do it would be worse than negligence. Take this as a warning.


The work of the school nurse has been painstaking and thorough. I call special attention to two things she has done: the talks she has given on personal hygiene in the schools and the 1043 visits she has made to the children in their homes. Be- low is her report.

MARTHA J, STEWART


Last year I recommended that sanitary squads be formed among the children for the practical teaching of certain phases of hygiene. I hope the work will be begun this year. I am ready to meet the teachers at any time and offer suggestions as to how it should be organized. It would supplement to a large extent work now being done and would be a benefit and not an extra burden for the children.


In closing I wish to thank you, Mr. Superintendent, the teachers and all others who did so much last June to make the baby weighing and measuring plan a success. We recorded 709 children under school age. Records thus obtained should be of value, for they give a survey of the material from which our school attendance is derived.

ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT.


To the Superintendent of Schools,


Dear Sir :-


Ipswich, Mass.


In submitting my annual report it is with some de- gree of satisfaction that I note that the number of cases of will- ful truants have been somewhat less the past year than the years previous. The absences, however, have been far in excess of those of any recent year. Of course this was due to the epi- demic of influenza and other diseases, but nevertheless it was necessary to investigate a large number of them as very few parents take the trouble to notify the teacher when a child is sick. About fifty absences a day was the average for two or three weeks in the fall of 1918.


There are some cases where a child is found at play on the street when the parent thinks he is in school, and when it is brought to the attention of the parents, they are very willing to co-operate with the attendance officer in getting the child back to school. It often happens that children from entirely differ- ent parts of the town are out at the same time, which necessi- tates traveling from one end of the town to the other. There has been but one occasion for bringing any of the parents or children before the court for truancy the past year. The boys


76


IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT.


are not the only offenders, I regret to say, as some of the girls are apt to stay away for very trivial excuses. The attendance at the present time is excellent but that is not saying that when spring opens it will be the same.


There is a great tendency for children to leave school as soon as they are fourteen years old and get some employment. It is to be regretted that such is the case as later on they are nearly always sorry for it. I have in mind two cases where boys have applied for employment certificates on the day they were fourteen years of age, and in both cases they were doing good work in school. The parents were at fault in both in- stances as they compelled the boys to leave school and go to work, and there was no lack of funds which made it necessary in either case.


Occasionally a boy who is found playing truant is taken from the public schools and sent to a private school. The total number of cases investigated was 379.

Abstract from State Laws In Regard to Compulsory School Attendance.


Section 1. "Every child between seven and fourteen years of age, every child under sixteen years of age who does not possess such ability to read, write and spell in the English lan- guage as is required for the completion of the fourth grade of the public schools of the city or town in which he resides, and every child under sixteen years of age who has not received an employment certificate as provided in this act and is not en- gaged in some regular employment or business for at least six

hours per day or has not the written permission of the superin- tendent of schools of the city or town in which he resides to engage in profitable employment at home, shall attend a public day school in said city or town or some other day school ap- proved by the school committee, during the entire time the pub- lic schools are in session, subject to such exceptions as are pro- vided for in sections four, five and six of this chapter."


Section 2. "Every person having under his control a child described in section one shall cause him to attend school as therein required, and, if he fails for seven day sessions or four- teen half-day sessions within any period of six months while such control obtains, to cause such child so to attend school, he shall, upon complaint by an attendance officer and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars, and no physical or mental condition which is capable of cor- rection, or which renders the child a fit subject for special in- struction at public charge in institutions other than public day schools, shall avail as defence under the provisions of this or the preceeding section. unless it shall be made to appear that the defendant has employed all reasonable measures for the correction of the condition and the suitable instruction of the child."


"Whoever induces or attempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school, or employs or harbors a child while school is in session, shall be punished by a fine of not less than ten nor more than fifty dollars."
