REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL.
-
Saugus, Mass., January 16, 1915.
Mr. William F. Sims, Superintendent of Schools:
My dear Mr. Sims :-
In accordance with the annual custom I herewith sub- mit to you the report of the High School :
The school register shows a total enrollment of 289. Of this number 162 are girls and 137 boys. This number. together with the 47 in the Ninth grade fills the building to capacity.
The courses of instruction in the Classical and Eng- lish departments are much the same as they have been. Both of these courses meet college entrance requirements, and both are quite definitely determined by such require- ments. In these courses particular attention has been given. to strengthen the work in Mathematics.
The course of study in our new Commercial depart- ment requires four years' work in English, two years in Penmanship. two in Bookkeeping. three in Typewriting, two in Stenography. and one each in Commercial Geography and Commercial Law. In addition to these subjects stu- dents of this department may take two years' work in the modern languages, and opportunity is given them to elect various other subjects for which they show particular aptitude.
The progress of our students in our Commercial de- partment to date is good, but the real efficiency of the work will not be tested until our present Junior class graduates, as the members of this class will be the first to have had instruction in the full courses of Bookkeeping, Stenography and Typewriting.
I say unhesitatingly that no Commercial College can favorably compare its work with that done in the Com- mercial department of the public high schools. Their
29
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
requirements are not so severe and their demands for graduation are not so rigid. It is my opinion that our Commercial course should be the most severe of any in its demands for graduation, for from this course we are ex- pected to turn out a "finished product." It is not so in the other courses. We must prepare students from our Classical and English courses for college, but it is for the college to turn out the "finished product." With this idea in mind we have endeavored to make the work in our Commercial department thorough and exacting. Because of this we are confident our graduates will, eventually, both profit and be pleased.
The work in Domestic Science is proving very popular. It is a taxing burden for such a department to be expected to furnish the daily lunch for the students, but such a re- quirement has been met, with entire satisfaction and great popularity. The large patronage of the students is most difficult to cope with. The Domestic Science teacher has really more at lunch time than she should be expected to do and because of this I recommend that assistance be given her for at least two hours each morning. I hope it will be possible to obtain a lady to render such assist- ance.
Many people seem of the opinion that cooking the usual and perhaps, I may say, simple things of our daily requirements are the only demands of this department. It is true such articles of food as are above suggested are cooked, and instruction in their making given. This work, in fact, supplies our good lunch counter already referred to, where a substantial lunch can be obtained for from five to eight cents, and an equally good dinner for from ten to thirteen cents. The larger work of the department is, however, the study of the Chemistry of Cooking; the attainment of the knowledge of proper balancing different foods to make a complete and nourishing whole, and the invaluable knowledge of the vast problems involved in the subjects of Domestic Economy and Household Sani- tation. A visit to the department will convince any one of its inestimable value.
Much interest is evidenced on the part of many boys in the work of Manual Training. I believe the boys profit much from their instruction in this course and because
30
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
of their training latent talents in them are often developed. The new work in concrete construction is proving most popular.
In our Science department we need two new Chemistry tables and a rearrangement of the two tables already installed, so that the spacious room may serve for a combi- nation Chemical and Physical laboratory. At present we are handicapped with the desks placed here for use in draw- ing and recitation. Our good Physics tables have no proper place. I recommend that all desks be taken from this laboratory so as to give proper room for our Physics tables. and that stools be provided for use at these tables as is customary for laboratory work. This recommenda- tion and arrangement meets with the approval of our drawing teacher who also uses this combination laboratory for her classes every Thursday.
We are particularly fortunate in obtaining some new Physics apparatus to replace some of the old broken pieces: It is our duty to keep these now they have been obtained. We have inadequate space for such. Two new cabinets are needed to properly keep what we have.
The school feels the need of a gymnasium. In lieu of the training derived from this school necessity we are fos- tering and supervising athletics. The results of our foot- ball team were pleasing; our basket ball team is preparing for a well-arranged schedule; and the prospects are very encouraging for a successful baseball season. One of our teachers, who is an expert in the instruction of folk dancing, has formed a class for the girls of the two upper classes. The girls in this dancing class are much pleased with the work. The drills are conducted in our auditorium on Thursday afternoons. Instruction is also being given the teachers in calisthenics, after the regulations for the military "Setting up Exercises." These exercises are about to be used as an exercise drill for all pupils each day at the end of the second period. Their duration will be five minutes. We believe that because of these exer- cises the entire school will be benefited.
We are in sad need of a play-ground and athletic field. ~ The boys have good courage and much ambition to hire a lot each year for their athletic activities. I hope
31
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
the near future may provide the school with this much- felt want.
All the reference books formerly piled in the of- fice together with the new ones recently received, have been placed in room seven, which we have commenced to use as a library. Our new reference books are not only much appreciated but much used as well.
The great distance many are obliged to cover to get to school, I presume, accounts in a measure for the great number of absences and cases of tardiness registered. It would seem. too, that this partial cause for absence is a reason for a little carelessness in the matter. Parents wishing their children to do well at school should see to it that their children are present every part of every ses- sion.
I wish to encourage parents to map out regular hours for study for their children. The work now required for graduation from High Schools is hard, and no student can get the most out of the courses unless at least two hours daily are devoted to home study. Enough time is not given for study in school to adequately prepare students for recitations. Observance of this, together with the per- fect attendance suggestion above, will ensure pupils of the greatest progress.
On the part of parents, students and teachers, I have found a general interest and hearty co-operation in any regulation proposed for the benefit of the school and I wish to take this opportunity to thank all for the many kindnesses extended me in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR L. WILLIAMS, Principal.

COURSES OF STUDY.
Each pupil is expected to take eighteen periods of work per week exclusive of Music and Drawing. Music is offered to all pupils once a week. Drawing, both Free Hand and Mechanical, is offered to all pupils desiring it. Proper credit will be given for all work done in Music and Drawing. By conferring with the Principal pupils may elect studies in other courses than the one in which they have enrolled.
The first column of figures indicates the number of recitations per week, the second the number of units of diploma credit. Sixteen units are required for graduation with not less than three in any one year.

CLASS ODE Words by Annie Leola Clarke
On life's journey, we now are set, The Bay we all have crossed, Now the Ocean lies before ; None of our crew must be lost. Our school days have been clear and bright, And we shall ne'er forget The true lessons that we have learned, School friends that we have met.
To-night, dear friends, we say good-bye, Sorrowfully now we leave you, In years to come, we will ever try To our Alma Mater be true. Now nineteen fourteen passes on To cross the Ocean wide, They hope for great things in life to do; No one must drift with the tide.
