Ninth Grade of the Grammar School. Although I have only words of praise for the preparation that the entering classes have received in Algebra in the Grammar School, I feel that no time is gained in beginning the subject there. As each Grammar School teacher has a different method of presenting the subject, it is necessary to go over a large part of the work to get the classes working in the same way. This could be done much more easily if the classes had never had the subject at all. We also have had to drop Commercial Geog- raphy from our course, because the same subject was being taught in the Grammar School. It does not seem right to spend so much time in teaching the same subject over twice to the same class in successive years. These things should be all arranged before a new course of study is made for the High School.


No form of public entertainment that tends to lessen the ideals of the pupils should be carried on by the school. The school should always stand for what is high and noble, striving each year to raise its standard of morals to a higher plane.


In closing I would thank the pupils and teachers for their courtesy and good will shown to me during the year. I would also thank the School Committee and the Superin- tendent for their support and encouragement.


Respectfully submitted,


W. J. B. MACDOUGALD.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING


MR. WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: In accordance with your request I present the following report of the work in drawing during the past year:


No great changes have been made in the program, except perhaps in minor details, the general plan being the same as in previous years.


It has been my wish to have two lessons a week, but the teachers in the higher grades find it difficult to give the time for it. As the periods are only thirty minutes long and no preparation required, an hour a week seems little enough time to keep the hand in practice and the interest up.


The course in our schools may be briefly outlined as follows: During the fall months the greater part of the work is drawn from nature. Flowers, fruits and vegetables were drawn and painted. Some of these studies were used later as motives for design in the Thanksgiving and Christmas work. This fall all the grades, except grade one, did a printed alphabet. This we find very useful through the year for our book covers and posters.


December was devoted to work in construction. Various useful objects were designed and constructed, then taken home by pupils to be used as Christmas gifts. In the winter term construction was continued in the first, second and third grades, the children making furniture on the principle of intersecting planes. They furnished a doll house of four rooms, adding pictures, rugs and curtains, and took great pleasure in doing it. The higher grades took mechanical drawing, including simple problems and working drawings from objects. At the Jenkins School the boys made working drawings of simple objects and carried them out in their


128


manual training work later. The intermediate grades drew from objects, made book covers, and illustrations for their written work.


With the coming of spring nature work was taken up again, using these studies in practical design the last six weeks of the term.


The aim of the course has been to develop the ability to observe, the power to express ideas in drawing and painting, and an appreciation of the beautiful. We do not expect to produce artists, these are always the exception, but we hope "to produce draughtsmen and craftsmen, and to arouse an intelligent pleasure in things beautiful."


In closing I would thank all those who have so kindly cooperated with me in my work.


Respectfully submitted,


HARRIET J. FORD.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT


To the Scituate School Committee:


In following the custom of previous years, I submit to you a brief report of my work in the schools.


I have visited the different school buildings and have examined all pupils who I thought showed signs of defects or disease, and have reported the result of my examination to the parents, with the request that they see their family physician for necessary treatment.


There have been no contagious diseases in the schools this year.


The conditions of school buildings remain about the same, except at the High School, where from lack of room the over- crowding of pupils has made it hard to get proper ventilation.


In conclusion I wish to thank the Committee and teachers for their help and support.


WILLIAM P. GROVESTEIN,


School Physician.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN


To the Inhabitants of the Town of Scituate:


At the time of presenting our last report the sea walls were in process of construction under the direction of the County Commissioners and the Selectmen. The work then undertaken has been completed and there remains but the section between the end of the First Cliff wall and the Second Cliff to be done. This we hope to undertake, with the help of the abutters, as soon as the weather will permit, and it will complete the protection of the southeasterly side of the harbor.


The next unusual expense is the bridge at Humarock. An appropriation was made at the last Annual Meeting to rebuild Marshfield Avenue and repair the bridge. Only a part of the appropriation was spent, for the bridge was in such condition that it would of necessity have to be rebuilt the next year, and extended repairs made upon it would then be thrown away. The Selectmen have therefore had a careful estimate made of the cost of rebuilding, and will present it for action at the Annual Meeting.


We have estimated a larger amount needed for hydrant rental this year on account of the probable extension of winter service to Second and First Cliffs.


Additional tragedies enacted this year by automobiles force upon us the necessity of having sidewalks and using them. The walks should extend along one side, at least, of every street in town, and the work should be undertaken seriously and carried steadily forward until the desired end is accomplished. We suggest that $1,000 be raised for this purpose, and that the money be used in building and main- taining good walks, first in places where there is the most travel, and gradually covering the whole territory. The


9


location of these walks might well be left with the Highway Surveyor, who should determine by actual count the number of vehicles and pedestrians using the principal streets in a given day.


This sidewalk policy might well be extended to our road building. We believe the wholesale building of stone roads as was undertaken last year is not to be encouraged.


The reduction of our tax rate from $18.50 two years ago to $15 is appreciated by our townspeople, and is proving attractive to non-residents as well. The return to a higher rate will be damaging to our best interests, since it will discourage incoming personal estate.


In view of the extra expense at Humarock, the necessary increase in cost of preserving our stone roads already built, and the larger general appropriation for roads, it would seem the part of wisdom to cease stone road building for one year, or at most limit the amount to $2,500 or $3,000.


It is our opinion, from a survey of all our principal streets, that the piece of road lying between the drinking foun- tain at Greenbush and the piece of road built last year to the Norwell line is the most necessary of all. If it is thought best to build this this year it should be the limit of our expenditure for roads, and the other pieces can well wait their turn by making temporary repairs from the general appropriation.


We believe the fixed policy of building one piece of new road a year will work out the best results from every stand- point, and will not unnecessarily burden our taxpayers.


The financial reports of the Selectmen and other town officers follow.
