Report of the School Committee.
To the Citizens of Middleton and to Secretary of the State Board of Education :
The school board organized at beginning of the year as follows :
H. K. RICHARDSON, Chairman,
D. W. CASE, Secretary, A. P. TYLER, Purchasing Agent.
We take pleasure in stating that the past year has been a very successful one in school affairs.
There has been no closing on account of sickness nor any interruption in school work through change of teachers.
The opening of the superintendency district whereby we secured the services of Mr. Andrew Thomson was explained in our previous report. He began his services in September and thus far his work has met with our hearty approval. This year we were fortunate also in securing Mr. George Smith, as instructor of music. The substantial progress which the children have made in this branch, under his direc- tion, is especially appreciated.
Though the results of the year's work even under present conditions have been gratifying to us, yet we would again call the attention of the inhabitants of the town to the fact that the time seems to have arrived when some provision must be made for the increasing number of pupils.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Mr. Thomson has discussed this subject at length in his report, and has expressed our views on the matter very clearly. The estimated cost of fitting up the spare room in the building and employing a teacher, is in the vicinity of $500 the first year, and afterwards simply the expense of an extra teacher.
In conclusion we would say that a careful perusal of the report of the superintendent, and also the report of the music instructor, will give you a good insight into the work now being done in our schools.
We thank the voters of the town for their generosity in appropriating so liberally for the education of the children. We thank the teachers for their earnest efforts and Mr. Thomson and Mr. Smith for the interest displayed in the children and their work.
Respectfully yours,
H. K. RICHARDSON, For the Board of School Committee.
Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
To the School Committee :
GENTLEMEN :
It is with pleasure that I submit this my first annual report as superintendent of the schools of Middleton. I shall endeavor in brief space to set forth the work and progress of the year and offer a few suggestions as to improvements which seem to me necessary for the best interest of the children in the schools.
In September I found three hardworking intelligent teachers presiding over three unusually large schools. The work was well organized and the teachers doing good work in all lines and excellent work in some lines. My endeavor has been to study the plan of work already in operation and whenever changes have seemed advisable to suggest them gradually in order that there might be no marked break or interruption. Sudden and frequent breaks and changes are a great detriment to any business and especially is this true in school work. The greatest objection to the superin- tendent system is the frequent change of system if each new man tries to make a reputation for himself by introducing innovations.
It was pleasing to find that during the summer vacation the school rooms had been nicely cleaned, the desks smoothed

and varnished, and the floors oiled. A cleanly, orderly room does much to inculcate neatness and careful treatment of school property in the pupils. The woodwork about the rooms will be much improved by a coat of varnish and the floors will be benefited by another light coat of oil this sum- mer. It will be economy to have the building painted on the exterior very soon.
STUDIES.
The work has progressed along the regular lines. There has been a slight change in the work in reading by doing away with the excessive use of diacritical marks in the primary grades and substituting some of the principles which determine the sound of a letter under certain conditions. We are making a good record in this very important branch of school work. We are in need of a few sets of supplement- ary readers of which an abundance of excellent material has been recently published.
At the suggestion of Mr. Smith, the music teacher, the Normal music books have been displaced by the Modern Series. Few towns in the state do as good work in music as Middleton.
The work in physiology has been made of more value by the use of Conn's Physiology. There has been no change in the text books of the other branches.
During Friday afternoons I have found great pleasure in teaching the ninth grade civil government and the eighth grade physiology.
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.
At present there are sixty children in the primary school with three grades. This is too many children for one teacher,

SCHOOL REPORT.
no matter what her excellence. The natural activity of children ought to be continually utilized but never stunted. When so many are under the charge of one teacher order and quiet must be maintained, and the habit of sitting still and doing nothing becomes a case of necessity. Though this is preferable to confusion and disorder, it nevertheless forms entirely wrong habits in the child.
The grammar school has the sixth, seventh eighth and ninth grades with about forty-five children. There are seven to graduate in June and eighteen in grade five to come into this room in September. There will not be accommodations for more than half that number. Not only will it be out of the question to seat the children in this room, but moreover a a grammar school teacher with four grades cannot do all that is needed for the backward and slow children. The bright pupils, of which Middleton supplies a large percentage, will get along anyway, but the less fortunate in mental equipment, who need drill and attention from the teacher are obliged to repeat a grade when this would not be necessary if a teacher had fewer grades. It seems to me urgent and wise to fit up the other room in the building and establish a fourth school. With four teachers in the build- ing it will be practicable to form a class in sewing which will greatly benefit the pupils in the school and in their homes.
My work in the schools during the year has been made very enjoyable due to the cordial attitude of the pupils, the hearty cooperation of the teachers and the friendly support of the committee.
Respectfully submitted, ANDREW S. THOMSON,
Superintendent of Schools.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Supervisor of Music.
To the School Board of Middleton :
In submitting my report to the school committee, at the request of your superintendent of schools, I wish to express my pleasure and thanks to the teachers for their hearty sup- port in teaching music in the schools, and I have no hesi- tancy in saying that they have done unusually well in this branch of study. I have been very watchful of the children's voices that they do not shout and especially in the upper register, as most voices are ruined that sing in that manner. In teaching music in the schools, we are training the ear to discriminate between the good and the bad, and to appreci- ate good music when sung, played or listened to. We train the eye to appreciate art and the beauty of nature, why not the ear to enjoy the best music, as the world is full of music and we should enjoy it as much as possible.
We have had good success with the system in use in the schools, and the addition of the Weaver system has helped us to keep up an interest in the work and it has been very helpful, making it possible to know the standing of each scholar.
The singing books in the primary room have been replaced by the Primer of the Modern Series, a more up-to-date book and one that I am using in Watertown with success. I am in hopes that the third book of the Modern Series will be purchased for the upper grades, as I am sure that we can get exceptionally good results with this book. The music in this book is very interesting to the scholars and consists of selec- tions from the best composers.

I trust that the interest will continue to grow and at the end of the year you will see good results.
