If the town wishes to increase the teachers' salaries according to the plan as outlined in this report it will be necessary to appropriate $1,000 more than the above total, making it $60,500, with the understanding that the increase will be about $2,500 the years following.

EAST WEYMOUTH MASS., December 31, 1908.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
To the School Committee of Weymouth :
I herewith submit my fourth annual report which is the 23d in the series by this department.
There have been no marked changes in the professional work of the schools during the past year. We have endeavored to main- tain a standard of efficiency equal to that of former years, but unless there are some radical changes made very soon in the ad- ministration of our schools there is no hope of progress or of making the schools more efficient than at present. I refer to the present method of appointment of teachers, the salary schedule, and "course of study."
In the first place a school committee of three members, instead of six, as at present, I think would be the ideal for a town like Weymouth. This committee to have charge of the business side of the schools and the superintendent of schools elected by it to bave full power in the appointment and discharge of teachers, se- lection of text books and supplies and in making the "course of study."
During the past two years the town has lost over twent-five of its best teachers, fourteen resignations the past year. Nearly all of these teachers have gone to positions paying a much better salary than they received here. In nearly every case these vacan- cies have been filled with teachers at the minimum salary accord- ing to the present schedule. You can readily see, I think, what that means, since Weymouth ten years ago was nearly at the foot of the list of the towns in the state in regard to salaries and dur- ing the past three years nearly all the surrounding towns have increased the teachers' salaries from 10% to 40%. Therefore I urge you, gentlemen, to make the necessary arrangements for adopting the following or a better salary schedule for the teachers in the grades one to eight inclusive, to go into effect next Septem- ber. First year $450; second year $500; third year $550; the fourth year the maximum, $600.
8
I have recommended for several years and I again urge that this committee adopt an eight year "course of study" below the high school and vote to admit to the first grade only those pupils who are six or more years of age at the beginning of the school year in September. If this could be done and one kindergarten be established in each Ward for the benefit of those parents who wish to send their children from their homes before the children are six years old, I am certain that the efficiency of our schools would be greatly enhanced.
In addition to the above plan I recommend that the first and second grades have only one session daily, with one teacher for both grades. It is generally acknowledged by physicians and the leading educators that to take the child from his active outdoor life and confine him in the bad air of our school rooms and com- pel him to be comparatively quiet for a period of four or five hours each day of the school year is, to say the least, unwise if not cruel. This plan alone, if adopted, would save the Town of Weymouth at least $3,000 yearly and at the same time be a de- cided gain in training up better boys and girls-better citizens, for in the words of Kant the aim of education is to give to the individual all the perfection of which he is susceptible.
Next September there will be a very congested condition at the Athens unless some changes are made in that section of the town. To meet those conditions I suggest that the Adams School be put in proper condition to accomodate another school composed of the children in that vicinity who would be in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Then at the Athens the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades can each have a room ; a portion of the 4th grade can oc- cupy the room with the 5th and the other portion with the 3d grade, and the 1st and 2d grades can occupy one room-the first grade attending in the forenoon and the second grade in the afternoon.
At the Lake street school it will be necessary to have two 8th grades, which will necessitate transferring one of the fifth grades there to the Washington, where it was previous to this year.
Unless there is quite an increase in the school population in Ward 3 between now and September one less teacher will be re- quired at the Tufts
The large size of the present 7th grade at the Bates School will make it necessary another year to have the 8th and 9th grades
9
each occupy a room, so that the 5th grade will then occupy again a room at the Howe, and it will be necessary for the 1st and 2d grades to occupy one room, one attending in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon. The school yard at this building is in very bad condition owing to the mud and water through which the children are obliged to pass a portion of the winter months. I trust that several loads of gravel will be spread around the yard early in the spring.
If the 9th grade is to remain at the Shaw I would recommend that a man principal be elected as teacher of the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. I believe most sincerely that when children reach the age of pupils in the 8th and 9th year of their school life they should come under masculine discipline and instruction. By making this change it would place this school on an equal footing with the other 8th and 9th grades in the town.
I wish also at this time to call your attention to a change that ought to be made in the lecture room of the science department at the High School. The partition between the Physical Labratory and the lecture room ought to be removed and the seating plat- form there made level with the floor and the room fitted up with tablet chairs. This change would make it possible to heat and ventilate the room better, accomodate a larger class and at the same time give the instructor a chance to give written lessons at his convenience.
The work at the High School is much better than one year ago and Mr. Sampson is to be commended on being able to make the school so efficient under the existing conditions. The extra teacher there has made it possible for the principal to give more time to supervision and the general administration of the school. Another instructor is very much needed there so that Mr. Samp- son could be relieved from teaching more than one class daily. The other instructor ought to be a man who should have charge of the mathematical department I also recommend that the principal's salary be. raised to $1,800 or $2,000 and the sub-mas- ter's salary to $1,200 or $1,500. The size of the school warrants the above recommendations, for. as you can see by referring to the statistics that the school is much larger than several of the high schools in the state which have more teachers and pay larger salaries. The school is also increasing in size more rapidly than the school population of the town. The time is close at hand .
10
when the "course of study" in the High School must embrace some kind of industrial training, and when that time comes the enrolment will be greatly augmented.
Some arrangement should be made so that the splendid collec- tion of minerals given the school by Mr. D. M. Easton might be more readily seen and used. Perhaps cabinets placed ;in the al- coves on either side of the assembly hall would be the best dispo- sition of the collection.
Through the interest and generosity of the Monday Club and by your vote the Penny Savings Institution was established in the schools the first of April, and at the close of the term ending December 23 there were 1,180 depositors with a total deposit. of $1,620.23. The largest amount deposited by any one pupil was $50 and the next largest $45 both in the Athens School. 161 bank books have been issued. The value of this traing on the part of the pupils is worth all the work and money put into it on the part of the Club and all the time and energy of the teachers.
REGULATIONS.
Deposits of one cent or more will be received every school day by the teacher of each class. The amount will be delivered to the treasurer, who will deposit the same in the Savings Bank.
Deposits must be made by attaching stamps to the deposit card at the school where the stamps are bought.
No sum less than the amount represented by all the stamps at- tached to one card can be withdrawn.
When a pupil has a deposit of three dollars the bank will issue a bank book in his name, and from that time his deposit will draw interest.
Deposits should be withdrawn only in case of necessity-in case of sickness or removal from town. All withdrawals must be made through the treasurer, and at request of the parent or guardian of the pupil who withdraws money.
When a depositor graduates or leaves the school he will be given his bank book or the money due him.
"The habit of saving is an essential part of a true practical education."
Depositors are requested to keep this card clean, and bring it to school whenever depositing or withdrawing money.
11
According to law this town is obliged to maintain an evening school and I therefore recommend that you ask for an appropria- tion for the support of such a school another year.
The drinking fountains with which several of the buildings have been equipped during the year are very much appreciated and I trust that you will arrange to equip the remaining buildings with similar fountains during the coming year.
Again I urge that the buildings be installed with telephones as outlined in my last report.
The usual statistics are appended as a part of this report. In closing I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those teachers who have worked so faithfully during the past year and have given themselves so fully to the highest development of our boys and girls and whose co-operation I have had in every thing that pertained to the best interests of the schools. Through you I wish to thank the patrons of the school and the citizens of the town for their generous support and loyalty to the public schools during my four years of service.
I also assure you that I fully appreciate your kindly criticisms and your honest endeavors to make ihe schools, in your judg- ment, the best that the circumstances permit.

CLASS ODE.
By Nita Mary Hanson.
Expectantly we wait the call Which duty bids us hear ; With wisdom gained in classic hall We'll greet the future year. So bravely then let us go forth And fight life's battle long ; 'Tho happy school days now are o'er Friendship will still be strong.
Today we're standing side by side, . Our hearts with hope are strong ; Tomorrow we are scattered wide Amid life's endless throng. New scenes and friendships claim us soon As from these halls we go; May lessons learned through youth's bright years Guidance on us bestow.
