I do not doubt that eachi teacher is doing all that he can to make pro- gress and overcome the difficulties, but in spite of our efforts I realize more clearly than anyone else that many pupils graduate from the Higli school without the power to express themselves in good English.
In order to do the work that is expected in the High school the pupil must come to the school with a clear idea of a simple English sentence, a knowledge of its parts, and courage to express his own thoughts in simple language ; and until he lias that power it is impossible to do any construc- tion work, or acquaint the pupil with the art of composition, or instil in his mind an appreciation of the best literature. It is possible that we are expecting too much. I have no doubt that great progress is made in the grades, and that the work is done in a most thorough manner ; but making due allowance for the time and energy required for the pupil to adjust himself to his new surroundings, to the change of teachers and methods, I still think much valuable time is lost in the transition from the Gran- mar to the High school. I do not know that I have a satisfactory remedy. We are certainly all working to a common end, but I think a help to the High school would be gained if we could have an exact knowledge of what has been done before the High school and if the Grammar grades could know exactly what was expected in the High school,-that is, if there could be a more intimate acquaintance on the part of the teachers with the work above and below the grade in which they teach; if the line that separates us could be erased. What is true in regard to English is equally true in the case of mathematics and other subjects.
In closing I wish once more to call attention to our need of drawing. I realize that it has long been under consideration but we seem to feel the need of it more and more each year.
Allow me to thank you and the committee for your kind interest and encouragement.
Very respectfully yours,
January 18, 1901.

II. Report of Instructor of Music.
Mr. A. S. Thomson, Superintendent of Schools :-
Sir : - I herewith respectfully submit my seventh annual report as Musi- cal Instructor in the schools of Weymouth :-
Music in the public schools has passed through its epoch of struggle for existence, and is now recognized as one of the essentials in a sym- · metrical course of study. Almost every one appreciates some of the bene- fits of music, and among those most commonly acknowledged is its power of expression and discipline. Music often expresses where language merely suggests, and the desire for more complete expression brings it among the necessities. In music the eye is trained in reading the voice in articulating, and the ear in discriminating sounds. While with all there comes the restful, refining and inspiring influence which can be secured from no other source.
When school began in September an outline of work was given to each teacher to be used as a guide for the year's work. These plans take up the work in exercises and songs in nine keys. In this way the pupil becomes just as familiar with one key as with another, and can read equally well in all keys. By following these plans, schools of the same grade are doing nearly the same work. In the first three years of school music much of the time should be given to rote singing.
We are very fortunate in having teachers in these grades that are cap- able of teaching rote songs successfully. As in learning to speak the child imitates his mother, so in learning to sing the child begins by imitat- ing sounds as sung by his teacher.
As the strength and usefulness of any structure depends largely upon the foundation, so in music the formation of correct vocal habits during the first two years in school lays a good foundation to build upon in years to come. In my experience as vocal teacher I find a large proportion of the best voices have been somewhat impaired by wrong usage. A great deal of this may be avoided by correcting bad habits and forming good ones.
Our aim is for softness, sweetness, expressiveness and taste combined with clear and pure musical enunciation.
This year more time is being given to individual work. We have also introduced written exercises from dictation, and the composition of short melodies.
While the work in the lower grades has been an improvement over pre- vious years, the advance in the upper grades has been exceptionally pleasing.
There is more freedom in sight reading, with a more hearty response in the practice of new difficulties, and as the classes become more familiar with good music and gain greater freedom in the production of a pure quality of tone, music becomes a delight.
With very few exceptions the boys are as much interested as the girls, and up to the period when the voice changes, they are as good singers. I
31
wish to say that I am greatly encouraged by the hearty co-operation and growing interest of the teachers. They have worked very hard to carry out my plans. The discipline which has much to do with the success of a music teacher is good in all the schools, and in many cases excellent.
In closing I wish to thank the teachers, the school committee and the superintendent for their kind and hearty support.
Respectfully submitted,
A. J. SIDELINGER.
