demic of influenza, beginning in September, caused a loss of nearly four weeks of schooling for the children and has made it difficult to continue the schools since the reopening, owing to illness among both pupils and teachers. On the average, ten per cent. of the teachers have been absent from their duties since the beginning of the epidemic.
The discontinuance of the two car lines to South Weymouth made it extremely difficult to get the pupils from that part of the town to the High School. It was necessary to provide transportation for ninety pupils on a twenty-four hour no- tice, and, as can well be imagined, considerable discomfort and inconvenience resulted.
TEACHERS.
Fourteen vacancies occurred in the teaching force during the year. Five teachers resigned to be married, one to enter the army, one retired under the provisions of the Teachers' Retirement Act, six resigned to accept other positions, one death occurred. Miss Nettie Mahoney, a graduate of our own schools and a recent graduate of Bridgewater Normal, died of influenza after a few days' illness. Miss Mahoney was a promising young teacher. Her death seemed particu- larly untimely as she had taught less than four weeks after making many sacrifices to obtain her education.
There is a general shortage of teachers throughout the country with very little prospect of the condition being re- lieved immediately. Many teachers have left the service for other lines of employment offering greater inducements. Many of the recent graduates of the colleges and normal schools who trained for teaching have not even entered the profession, but have secured clerical or other positions. The source of supply is also endangered according to the Report of the Commissioner of Education, from which I quote the following: "The enrollment of our State Normal schools for the school year 1917-1918 has not only failed to show its usual growth, but has actually decreased more than 14 per cent. over that of the preceding year. Should this rate of
124
decrease in normal school attendance continue for even a year or two, it is evident that the number of boys and girls in Massachusetts taught by untrained teachers would be in- creased by. thousands."
The situation is becoming so serious that the question of what you can pay is being overshadowed by the question as to whether you can get a trained teacher at all.
HIGH SCHOOL.
REPORT OF MR. F. W. HILTON, PRINCIPAL.
In reviewing the last school year, we find many conditions which have tended to add difficulties in carrying out our usual program. The high wages offered in government positions have made it practically impossible to procure new teachers and enough of the students have been attracted by the lure of money to make our enrollment noticeably less. The usual supply of coal was replaced largely by wood during the months of January and February of 1918 and many of the school boys will long remember the experience they had in carrying cordwood from one portion of the basement to an- other in our endeavor to use this substitute fuel. Organi- zations for war work have thrived and student activity along these lines has often been so great that it has caused a ten- dency to neglect the usual school routine.
Taking these things into consideration with the necessary closing of the schools because of the epidemic of influenza, it is easy to see how difficult it is to keep up to our usual stan- dard, both as to quantity and quality of work accomplished. Our record of lessons completed for the school year of 1917- 1918 was about the same as usual and I trust that we shall be able to accomplish as much before the end of this school year, although we are at present considerably behind. I feel like commending both the students and the teachers for their helpful attitude in meeting these difficulties as they have arisen.
It might not be out of place at this time to express our appreciation for the long and faithful service rendered by
125
Mrs. Helen Curtis Barnard and Mrs. Irene Fraser Bates. Miss Grace L. Woodward, of the commercial department, resigned soon after the beginning of the fall term to accept a position at Natick. Mr. Andrew N. Schwab, from the County Agricultural School, replaced Mr. Kemp in the agri- cultural department.
A few changes have been made in the curriculum which we hope will meet with appreciation. The two-year course in Spanish is to replace the two-year course in German. Sten- ography has been introduced in the second year to allow this subject three years instead of two. We hope that this change will allow us to complete the principles of stenography early in the senior year, and allow ample opportunity for speed drills, which have suffered more or less for lack of time.
We are looking forward with hope for a normal year, free from the stress of war and the interruption of epidemics.
MANUAL TRAINING.
REPORT OF MISS ALICE L. TUCKER, SUPERVISOR OF MANUAL TRAINING.
The work was given to the boys of the three upper gram- mar grades in all of the schools except the Pratt. There it began in the sixth grade with chair caning.
While waiting for the new building to be finished, the seventh grade at the Nevins had caning and seated twenty- two chairs.
In all three grades each boy learned to make and read the plans which he used in his bench work. In the seventh grade particular attention was given to the correct use of the dif- ferent tools and the fundamental principles of woodworking in making simple and useful articles, and the boy became familiar with several different woods.
The eighth grade worked for greater accuracy and speed and made more difficult models.
The ninth grade learned simple joinery, including half lap, mitre, dowel, and mortise and tenon joints. In this
1
126
grade the boys are allowed much freedom in their choice of articles and most of them made furniture, such as tabourets, medicine cabinets, telephone stands, library tables, sewing screens, music cabinets, magazine racks, book cases, and umbrella racks as well as picture and diploma frames.
At the James Humphrey school the boys made a costumer for the principal's office and a saw horse for the manual training room.
The fine spirit and keen interest of the boys make it pos- sible to accomplish nearly double the work which could be done in the allotted time.
HOME PROJECTS.
REPORT OF MISS SARAH E. BRASSIL, SPECIAL TEACHER OF GARDENING.
It seemed best, under prevailing conditions, to make every effort to keep the work practical, timely and profitable. Pu- pils were encouraged to believe in the value of their time and skill and to feel the dignity and importance of their contri- bution to the general need. As a result, they have grown gardens, raised pigs and poultry, canned fruit and vege- tables, and made war bread.
All pupils in grades seven, eight and nine receive instruc- tion in gardening. Calls for help and advice from lower grades have been responded to as far as possible. There were five hundred home gardens of varying size reported. In visiting these it was frequently found that younger members of the family were understudying the older ones. Those un- able to have a plot of land for themselves were helping in the family garden. Many of our older grammar grade boys are successful workers on nearby truck gardens.
When a pupil has a garden of one twentieth acre or more and is willing to keep business accounts and meet certain other simple requirements, he is listed as a member of the Massachusetts Agricultural College Junior Extension Course and reports to the college through the county leader. There have been eleven such "club gardens," so called.
-
127
There were two hundred ten members listed in the Home Economics Clubs. Their work is designed to teach the in- doors side of farm life. Bread-making and household tasks are included here. In this club we turned for help to our teacher of sewing and to the teacher of domestic' science in the High School. To them is due its popularity and success.
Fifty-eight girls and two boys were grouped in the seven canning clubs. They report two thousand quarts of canned goods at an approximate value of $750. They have also the proud record of winning five banners for perfect member- ship and for completing all club requirements.
The poultry clubs were smaller, only nine boys entering. Two of the nine were invited to go to the Worcester County Fair to represent Norfolk County in a judging contest.
There were one hundred fourteen pigs raised by pig club members. Accounts show an average profit of $12.50. These pigs dressed from one hundred ten to two hundred sixteen pounds, and represent food to the amount of about eight tons, worth, at market value, something over $4000.
This club work is voluntary and optional. It is done large- ly out of school hours but is supervised by the director and fostered by the teachers. Plans and requirements are sent out from Massachusetts Agricultural College in co-operation · with the United States Department of Agriculture.
At the Weymouth Fair the children's exhibit filled a large tent and included garden produce, canning and cooking. Later, a pig club show was held, for which the association fur- nished the accommodations and the State Board of Agricul- ture allowed us one hundred dollars. Also, when the State Agent was working up an educational "movie film" he se- lected a member of a Weymouth club to pose for the reels. This film is now ready and will be used throughout New England, perhaps elsewhere, incidentally advertising Wey- mouth.
It has been a busy year ; active children, approving public, and co-operating teachers have shared in the work and may claim a share in any success that has come.

SEWING.
REPORT OF MISS HELEN ROWELL, SUPERVISOR OF SEWING.
At the beginning of the school year the seventh grades have their first experience in sewing, and the eighth and ninth grades commence the second year of the work.
The aim of the sewing in the seventh grades is to teach plain hand sewing so that the pupils will have a general knowl- edge of the various stitches most commonly used, the use of each, and the application in the making of simple articles for personal and home use. The articles made are sewing bags, pin, needle, and scissors cases, dish-towels, pillow- cases, and sewing or kitchen aprons.
The eighth grades aim for perfection in hand sewing by continual use of former stitches and application of new, and the use of the sewing machine is also introduced. The, repair of clothing is encouraged by pupils bringing clothing from home and the various methods of mending and repairing being taught by actual work upon their own materials. By. combining hand and machine work the girls make laundry bags, chemises, nightgowns, aprons, pillow cases, and bloomers.
The ninth grade work is practically the same as the eighth grade this year owing to the fact that both grades have had the same sewing experience. However, the ninth grade is capable of doing a little more advanced work.
To give the girls a better understanding of the materials with which they will come in contact as they have more ex- perience in buying and using cloth, a brief study of textiles has been started. The history, growth, manufacture, quali- ties, use, and approximate prices of different textiles is con- sidered and actual experience in selection and buying of goods is encouraged.
Along with the sewing the girls have made models and sam- ples of the different stitches, seams, plackets, facings, etc., to be kept by them for reference and use outside of school.
This year, owing to the' great demand for helpers in all war work, one lesson each month is devoted to Red Cross sewing, and the girls have done splendid work. Thus far
,
129
they have made over one hundred property bags for soldiers, and as various kinds of work are required they will be prepared to do their part.
AGRICULTURE.
REPORT BY MR. ANDREW N. SCHWAB, SUPERVISOR OF AGRICULTURE.
The agricultural department of the Norfolk County Agri- cultural School located at the Weymouth High School opened the fall term of its third year with twelve students enrolled among the three lower classes as follows: Three juniors, six sophomores, three freshmen.
All of the students are carrying on one or more agricultural projects as required by the State Board of Education. The projects line up as follows: Nine garden, seven poultry, one pig, one dairy.
The four-year course of study as outlined :
First year .- Kitchen gardening; agricultural survey.
Second year .- Poultry husbandry ; dairy husbandry ; small fruits.
Third year .- Market gardening; feeds and feeding; swine husbandry; soil fertility.
Fourth year .- Dairy husbandry II; poultry husbandry II ; orcharding; an. husbandry.
With the present schedule each class has three periods of agriculture each day, one of which is a study period. It is the hope of the instructor that the enrollment by another year will be large enough to warrant an assistant, for with four classes to teach, one instructor would find it difficult to give the required amount of work to each class with the best degree of efficiency.
DRAWING.
REPORT BY MISS EVELYN SILVESTER, SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
The drawing work in the grades of your schools has been under my direction such a short period that a very complete
130
report at this time is impossible. When I came, the last of October, 1918, I found that the drawing work was decidedly below grade, due, of course, to the fact that there was no regular course of study last year. That trouble is now being gradually remedied by detailed outlines of work, which the teachers are carefully following.
Already there is a noticeable improvement in the pupils' work, and we hope by co-operation to raise the standard throughout the schools so that by the end of the year all will be regained that was lost last year.

From the above table it appears that the pupils of the town have made a fairly good showing with their deposits despite the fact that there have been many other calls upon them for money. In only one other year (1917) has the deposit been larger. In addition to the savings shown above, the pupils have purchased over fourteen thousand dollars worth of thrift stamps, they have contributed two thousand three hun- dred and forty-six dollars in cash and pledges to the United War Work Campaign, and have made a one hundred per
1
131
cent. contribution to the Red Cross. They have also done a large amount of sewing and made many bandages for the various relief associations. At no time during the year has there been a call for money or service without a prompt re- sponse on the part of the pupils and teachers.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the committee, the teachers and the community for their cordial support through the year.
Respectfully submitted,
PARKER T. PEARSON, Superintendent of Schools.

Words by Marion Frances Procter
The years have passed on fleeting wings, And as we meet today, The joys and sorrows memory brings Recall the toilsome way. But friendships deep within the heart, The ties that bind us here, Give us strength and hope as the time to part Is swiftly drawing near.
The doors of life stand open wide; The sun shines o'er our way ; We'll ever in the right abide, In whate'er we do or say. With truth as our motto, service our aim, We'll banish wrong and strife, And fight with strength against sin and shame And all that dishonors life.
Today we read in these fragrant flowers God's message of love so dear ; He guards us in these sad,.sweet hours, And we feel Him ever near. And as our ways in life now part, We ask His blessing on all ..
May He give us strength and guide our hearts As we answer Duty's call.
