3. Aside from matters connected with the above, what defi- nite improvements in your school work have you secured during the year ?
Miss I: I have tried to teach the children how to study. I think that my effort in this part of school work has helped one or two boys more than anything else I have done.
Miss J: I think I have succeeded in making my scholars really more interested in getting their lessons every day. I have made them under- stand that I expect nothing less than that, and, to a rather unusual degree, they have given me that. Because of this co-operation I have been able to get over more ground and do better work in many instances.
Miss I: I have secured a definite improvement in the children's man- ners. They seem more thoughtful for others, considering each other's feel- ings, and are kind and gentle. I have secured better spelling and lan- guage. I have spent a good deal of time on spelling and am pleased with the results. There is a great chance for improvement yet.
15
Miss K: I have noticed that my pupils have become more alert. They take great pride in the study period, as I have tried to make them feel that they are working independently at that time. We have made a definite improvement in our reading this year. There is also an improvement in the pupils' drawing and written work. They try to do it "right and at once."' Taking everything into consideration, I think we have worked more faithfully and cheerfully together than ever before.
Miss L: I find that in most of the subjects, the classes are further ad- vanced than they were at the same time last year.
These answers indicate only a small part of the commendable effort put forth in our schools during the year. It is the total of all such effort that produces whatever progress we may have made. In some schools results have been decidedly unsatisfac- tory, and in some they have been highly gratifying, with all degrees of efficiency between the extremes. On the whole, it is likely that our progress equals that of previous years. The great improvement still possible challenges our earnest teach- ers to renewed effort.
THE TOWNS IN PARTICULAR.
Holden .- A decrease in the average membership of the schools was reported last year, and a further small decrease is noted this year.
The expected loss of pupils at Springdale occurred. The teacher having resigned at the end of the fall term, the school was closed and the pupils were transported to Quinapoxet.
Miss Agnes Dolan, Jefferson Intermediate, resigned at the end of the spring term, and Miss Margaret Nelson was chosen for the place. After a few weeks, she accepted an offer from Natick, and Miss Esther C. Hendricks was transferred to the position. Miss Ella O. Peterson was transferred from Chaffin to Miss Hendricks' place, and Miss Elsie H. Crawshaw was elect- ed to Chaffin primary. Miss Crawshaw was obliged to return to her home a few weeks later, on account of the illness of her
16
mother, and Miss Martha Clark has acted as a substitute. Miss Laura L. Chenery gave up her work soon after the fall term opened, on account of illness. Miss Josephine V. Judge was se- cured as a substitute for the remainder of the fall term, and Miss Ella Bartley for the winter term. Miss Chenery is expected to return for the spring term. Miss Margaret Gray resigned at North Woods at the end of the fall term, and Miss Margaret Tracy was transferred to the place from Dawson. Miss Mary Early was secured for Dawson. Miss Mae G. Cahill resigned at Springdale in November, and the school was closed.
It is worthy of note that of the thirty-one pupils entitled to enter the ninth grade at the High School in September, every one appeared. The high school teachers are the same as last year, and the work is distributed in the same way.
The following were graduated in June: Classical Course - Patrick E. Hanaver, Eva E. Came, M. Frances Chenery, Carrie L. Marsh, James H. Litchfield. English Course -John H. McDer- mott, Grace E. Lobdell, Ervin L. Winn. Anna L. Boyd received a certificate.
Patrick E. Hanaver entered Clark College in September, Misses Boyd and Lobdell entered business colleges, and Miss Marsh is employed in the office of the Barnard, Sumner & Put. nam Co. Mr. McDermott, Mr. Winn and Mr. Litchfield are taking post-graduate work in the school, in special preparation for technical courses. Misses Chenery and Came are at their homes.
Six pupils are candidates for graduation in June next.
It should be noted that a large number of the cases of tardi- ness reported as occurring at the High School are excusable, having been caused by the late arrival of electric cars.
Oakham .- As in previous years, Oakham has the best record of attendance of any town in the Union. Coldbrook school is first in per cent. of attendance, South school second, while the South school in Holden takes third place.
Soon after the opening of the fall term, Mrs. Minnie M. Day
17
was obliged to give up her work at the Center Primary, on account of illness. Mrs. Minnie L. Woodis filled the place for several weeks as a substitute. Mrs. Day not becoming able to return, Miss Ethel Braman, of Northfield, was engaged.
Mrs. Day had served the town very efficiently for seven or more years, and her loss from the schools is greatly regretted.
At the Center Grammar school there are seven pupils pursuing high school studies, having completed the grammar school course. Much credit is due the teacher for her care of these pupils who do not find it practicable to leave home to attend a high school. The pupils also deserve praise for their persistence.
Miss Dorothy Keyes of Worcester has been employed since September to supervise the music in the schools. Below is her report :
To Mr. Herbert J. Jones, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: Your supervisor visited each school once a week during the fall term. Through the winter term visits were made but once a month. Work was planned for the regular teachers to do between my lessons. I have made in all eleven visits.
The course in music as laid down when music was introduced, has been followed, and we are able to report advancement, especially in sight-sing- ing and pitch. It has been proven that ninety-five per cent. of the chil- dren can learn to sing and that all can learn to read music. In all the grades considerable attention has been given to written work, as it fixes principles clearly in the mind of the child. A mid-year exmination has been given with most satisfactory results. Class-singing has not been neglected. Recently the Fourth Reader of the New Educational series has been secured for the grammar school, which, with the other readers, gives us some of the best music published. Great interest is shown by the children in their work, and your supervisor urges parents to give their boys and girls every opportunity to hear good music outside of school.
I desire to express my sincere thanks to the superintendent and teachers for their hearty co-operation with me in the work.
Respectfully submitted,
DOROTHY D. KEYES, Supervisor of Music.
Worcester, Mass., February 28, 1907.

Paxton .- Last year I had to report a falling off in regularity of attendance. This year there is a decided gain.
Miss Mabel C. Reid resigned in June, and Miss Sarah T. Brit- ton took charge of the primary room in September. The other teachers remain the same as for several years.
Four pupils are preparing to enter a Worcester high school in September next.
The finishing and tinting of the walls was done in the summer vacation, and has greatly improved the appearance of the rooms.
Rutland .- The gain in attendance reported last year has not been maintained, as the tables show. The removal of several families from North Rutland accounts for a good part of the loss.
The addition of two weeks to the 32 weeks of school required by law is a sign of progress. An addition of two weeks more is desirable.
Miss Edna H. Johnson, assistant in the High School, resigned at the end of the spring term, and Miss Louise Marcley was transferred to the position from the grammar room. The teacher engaged for the grammar room taught three days, when illness compelled her resignation, and Miss Alice F. Dodge was secured for the position. At the North school, Miss Finnerty was called to a better position at Hudson soon after the opening of the fall term, and Miss Maud A. Moynihan was secured. She resigned to go to Westminster after a few weeks, and Miss Georgiana K. Fiske of Grafton took the place. The other teachers of last year remain.
Edward A. Hanff, David M. Hanff, and Mida E. Wentworth received the diploma of the High School in June. The gradua- tion address was delivered by Supt. J. G. Edgerly of Fitch- burg.
Edward Hanff was admitted on examination to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, with credit to himself and his teachers.
We are fortunate in being able to retain Mr. W. S. Dunn as principal. There is a uniform spirit of industry and earnest-
19
ness manifested by the twenty-nine pupils of the school. The present senior class is six in number.
A noteworthy addition to the equipment of the school has been made by the presentation of nearly one hundred dollars' worth of apparatus for the teaching of physics. Mr. Parmelee F. Drury, a member of the school, secured subscriptions for the purpose from citizens of the town, and presented the apparatus to the Committee on behalf of the donors. Our thanks are due Mr. Drury for his enterprising effort, and to the subscribers for their liberality.
For several years the town has received from the State a grant of $300 to aid in maintaining a "legal high school." The last Legislature increased the amount of this State aid to $500, an act which the town highly appreciates.
In this, and in six previous annual reports, I have aimed to put on record some of the more important things attempted or accomplished in your schools. I acknowledge with gratitude the loyal co-operation of my associates during another year, and thank you most heartily for your continued confidence and support.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT J. JONES, Superintendent of Schools.
