The Public Library is proving to be a great help in school work, and the wants of the schools are generously provided for by the library officials.


Frequent changes in the teaching corps still continue. To keep the force at a high standard of excellency is a seri- ous problem. It is pleasing to note that the policy of the board in increasing salaries has resulted in many cases in the retention of many of our teachers who received offers from other places.


Conclusion.


The standard of education in Middleboro is higher this year than last. The past year has seen an advancement along certain lines of school activities. Good, steady, pro- gressive work is being done, and the future promises much for the educational interests of the town.


To the members of the School Board for their cordial co-operation and hearty support in all administrative meas- ures, to the earnest, painstaking, conscientious efforts of the teachers, who through regular attendance at teachers' meet- ings and many by professional reading and study have labored to prepare themselves for the better performance of their school duties, to the parents for their interest in school work as shown by school visitation, to the citizens of the town for their liberal support of the schools, to the local press which has given so liberally of its space for the publication of weekly school notes whereby the people have kept in touch with school interests, to all who have in any way contributed towards making the past year one of the most pleasant and I think the most profitable of my administration I wish to express my sincere apprecia- tion.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.


MR. C. H. BATES, Superintendent of Schools :


Dear Sir,-I take pleasure in submitting my report for the year 1904, the fifteenth year of my service as principal of the High School. It may be interesting to note the in- crease in the size of the school during this time. In the fall term of 1890 there were 87 pupils and three teachers ; in the fall term of 1904 there were 200 pupils and six regu- lar teachers, and special teachers in music and drawing. The prospects are that the number of pupils will be mate- rially increased next September.


The enrollment last fall was divided into classes as fol- lows : Postgraduates 3-girls 2, boys 1; seniors 29-girls 18, boys 11; juniors 42-girls 23, boys 19; sophomore 45-girls 23, boys 22; freshmen 81-girls. 43, boys 38; total 200-girls 109, boys 91. There were 22 tuition pupils, 19 from Lakeville, 2 from Plympton and 1 from Carver. The pupils drawing transportation money num- bered 48. The number of out-of-town pupils together with those in town living at a distance of over two miles was 70. The number of pupils in town living less than two miles from the school was 130.


A much needed want has been supplied by the fitting up of a room on the first floor for High School purposes, and by furnishing an additional teacher. Miss Annie G. Leahy was elected for the position. Miss Josephine A. Pickering resigned her position last summer to take a year of post- graduate work at Boston University. Miss Mabel F. Bar- num was elected to fill the vacancy. The Trustees of the Peirce estate have kindly paid the salary of Miss Barnum, as they did that of Miss Pickering.


We still lack both teachers and school accommodations. With our present courses we should have another teacher. We should have a business course of four years, which would require still another teacher, making our regular force at least 8 in number.


19


While our record of attendance has been very creditable, (about 97 per cent. ) I believe that an improvement should be made. Pupils of High School age should feel that regu- lar attendance and strict attention to school work are imper- ative duties on their part, and that sickness or some other very important reason alone should interfere. There should also be fewer cases of tardiness. Parents should be very careful in writing excuses for dismissal, except for impor- tant reasons. I feel in duty bound to say that instances have been brought to my attention in which parents who could not say " no" to their children have written excuses, hoping at the same time that the excuse would not be granted by the teacher. This, of course, puts the teacher in a difficult position, as it is hard for him to discriminate between the necessary and the unnecessary excuse. This is a shirking of responsibility on the part of the parent.


The following changes have been made in the school courses during the year: An opportunity has been given to take three years' work in French instead of two, and two years' work in German instead of one. The course in English has been strengthened so that a pupil may have three recitations a week in the subject during the whole four years' course. If a pupil is fitting for a higher institution of learning, he is privileged to take those branches which will fit him directly for that institution, without following strictly any one of the prescribed courses of the school, providing that the work accomplished is equivalent to the work of the course.


The annual graduating exercises were held in the Town Hall, Friday evening, June 24. The class numbered 23.


I feel that the year's work has been successful, character- ized by unity of effort on the part of school officials and teachers to make our High School serve the best interest of the people of Middleboro.


Respectfully submitted, WALTER SAMPSON,


Principal of High School.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.


MR. CHARLES H. BATES, Superintendent of Schools :


Dear Sir :- I have the honor of submitting my fourth annual report of music in the public schools of this town.


Teachers and pupils are gradually getting into the right way of thinking and doing things, and with the same spirit that we find today, must show marked improvement each year until we get into the work as outlined in the Normal Course for all grades. The work, even now, speaks well for the last two years, and each term finds us nearer our first goal.


We lack material to do with in many schools, but the small additions each year will soon overcome this difficulty.


In the High School the spirit is excellent. Principal Sampson says it was never better in his fifteen years' con- nection with the schools. The progress under these con- ditions must be, and is, in the right direction. This year for the first time, we are able to take one section and sing by syllable. On account of lack of room we were obliged to take the school in two sections, which weakens, as a whole, the effect of our chorus work.


The Suburban schools are doing finely, a few singing two and three-part songs very creditably. I think this is possi- ble in all outside schools.


With all the hard and trying conditions, the year just past has been a very successful one.


Respectfully yours,


AUSTIN M. HOWARD,


Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.


MR. CHARLES H. BATES, Superintendent of Schools :


Dear Sir,-The following is submitted as the second annual report of drawing: Ten hours each. week are devoted to supervising drawing in the central schools of Middleboro. In the High School two forty minute lessons are given each week to those pupils who care to take draw- ing. In the other central schools one weekly lesson is given by the supervisor, and at least one other by the regular grade teacher.


The plan of work for the year is as follows :- Plant drawing, color study, space division, mechanical drawing, design, application of design, pose drawing and plant draw- ing. In the fall we began the study of the spectrum ; in all the grades above the third we used the technical terms "primary" and "secondary," and in the grades, above the fifth we made the spectrum from the three primary colors, and worked out the problem of complementary colors in crayon or water color paint.


During October the children in the second grade illus- trated the story of Hiawatha in free hand paper cutting which is the first story taken by that grade in the fall. These illus- trations were mounted on a calendar which was hung in the school room when completed. Then came the drawing of fall fruits in preparation for Thanksgiving decorations. The first five grades colored suggestive Thanksgiving illus- trations which had previously been prepared in outline- and consisted of a turkey, a hay field with pumpkins in the fore ground, and a Puritan. The sixth, seventh and eighth grades made book covers for a Thanksgiving story, and the eighth and ninth grades made some very attractive menus for a Thanksgiving dinner.


In December the first and second grades illustrated the Christmas story in free hand paper cutting, making attractive panels for calendars. In the intermediate grades the children constructed paper candy boxes, and in some classes decorated them with drawings of holly sprays.


In each grade a Christmas token of some kind was made, and the principle of illuminated texts was worked out by


22


pupils above the third grade. In the three grammar grades problems in balance and rhythm have been taken, followed by "spot" designs which were worked up for wall paper patterns.


In all cases technical terms have been given, and used intelligently by the pupils. In January the first, second and third grades have been at work on paper cutting, and arrangement of forms cut, and have started on pose draw- ing. The fourth, fifth and sixth have been studying pro- portion and appearance of objects. The seventh, eighth and ninth have been studying objects as the pupils see them, with some theory as to why objects appear as they do.


One lesson in each grade this month has been on one of the world's greatest artists. A short account of the artist's life was given, and one picture studied, other pictures by the same artist were shown, in order to familiarize the children with the style of his painting. From now on the work will be in representation, group drawings and nature work.


The High School : The work in the High School began with the drawing of fall flowers. In October a division was made of those who desired to take mechanical drawing. This class began by geometrical problems, and later applied some of these problems in practical working drawings. The free hand class worked at the Ross color scale, each pupil using an individual water color box, and working out a complete scale. Later this class worked on designs for book covers, and wall paper designs in black and white. The lessons next before Thanksgiving were devoted to Thanks- giving menus-and those just before Christmas to illumi- nating Christmas cards. At present the class is at work on problems in fore-shortening and convergence, in preparation for group drawings.


Suburban Schools : The work for the Suburban schools has been exactly the same as that in the Central schools.


In closing I desire to thank the superintendent and teach- ers for their hearty cooperation with me in this work.


Respectfully submitted,


ELIZABETH E. MARVIN.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MANUAL TRAINING.


MR. CHARLES H. BATES, Superintendent of Schools :


Dear Sir,-The following is submitted as my first annual report in manual training : Five hours each week have been devoted to manual training in the three upper grades in Middleboro. The girls have had sewing and the boys have taken knife work. The same principles have been followed in each case-putting the exercises into some practical use. For instance, the first stitch taught the girls was basting ; this was applied to bags ; then came the back-stitch, which was used in sewing the sides of the bag; overcasting and hemming followed. In each case the stitches were required to be small and even, or the result was shown to be dis- pleasing otherwise. The girls have just completed pinballs, which introduced them to a new stitch-top sewing-and are now at work in the seventh grade on doll's pillow cases, and in the eighth and ninth grades on doll's aprons. These small articles have been chosen that the children might learn the principles of construction and at the same time, would not lose their interest before the article was com- pleted, which is often the case if too large a thing is under- taken. In knife work the boys have put each new exercise into some practical object. The first thing made was a pencil sharpener. This required straight edge whittling and was also required to be finished true and square without the aid of sandpaper; after this they made sandpaper blocks, key tags and silk winders. In making flower pins and penhold- ers they departed from the work in two dimensions, and were required to model the objects on given lines. This gave them a new power and a knowledge of judging sur- faces through the sense of touch. Other things which the class have made are rules, watch stands, key racks and match boxes. It is hoped that this work will lead to the larger field covered by bench work, where the boys may have the opportunity to learn how to make larger things of practical value, and to acquire a knowledge of the use of tools which everyone should have.


Respectfully submitted,


ELIZABETH E. MARVIN.
