DRAWING


It was mentioned that one of our aims is to do well what- ever we attempt to do. This is certainly true in regard to the drawing. Although Mr. Warner, the present super- visor, has been with us but one term, marked improvement has everywhere been made. The work in the High School is particularly excellent. Should present conditions con- tinue, it bids fair to result in numbers of our pupils finding a vocation in this subject.


THE BARGES


Each year there has been some complaint concerning the barges. Lately these complaints have been more frequent on the part of both parents and teachers. Parents com- . plain that the barges do not arrive at points for taking on pupils at the same time each morning, but vary fifteen


119


Report of School Superintendent


minutes and sometimes more. Teachers complain that the barges do not arrive on time at school.


The barges should arrive at the school buildings at 8.55 A.M. at latest and should be at the various points where children are taken on with practically absolute regularity each morning, unless deep snow or other unavoidable con- dition prevents. It is manifestly wrong for small children to wait at a street corner for fifteen minutes or more in cold and stormy weather.


BOOKS AND SUPPLIES


It will be noticed that the amount of money expended for books and supplies is larger than usual this year. There are a number of reasons for this. Considerable permanent equipment at the High School has been included in this account and between three and four hundred dollars' worth of books were burned at the Hatherly school on account of scarlet fever, by order of the Board of Health, that had immediately to be replenished by new ones.


THE MANUAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM


The Committee and Superintendent fully realize that the people of Scituate want good schools and are willing to contribute liberally to their support if the money is expended wisely and well. Also, it is realized that the manual, in- dustrial and vocational in education is worthy of careful investigation with a view to the adoption of whatever seems wise in our schools.


Some years ago woodwork was tried in the Jenkins school. Last year a supervisor for manual work was engaged for one day per week. The work in each instance was of prac- tically no educational or other value for the reason that it was not sufficiently well done. It was consequently dis- continued and the State school officials and others having experience in this line of work were consulted and our con- ditions explained. We were advised to "go slow" by those. most interested in the advancement of this work.


The following is quoted from the latest Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education: "Other courses besides


120


Report of School Superintendent


the academic are offered in many High Schools. Of these. commercial courses have had most extensive development as regards numbers of students. Manual arts or technical courses for boys, household arts, courses for girls and agri- cultural courses are now growing rapidly in popularity. All of these so-called 'practical' courses are believed by many persons to give vocational training in some degree, but, as will be shown later, such assumptions are usually but slightly warranted by the facts."


Also from the same report: "At present there are avail- able but few trained vocational teachers, while only the most imperfect plans and working instruments wherewith to initiate vocational education have been devised."


The following is from the Leominster School Report: "It is doubtful if any one knows what is the best manual training and industrial training for any community. There are almost as many opinions as there are men reporting, and yet today differences in opinion are rather those of funda- mentals."


At present the State has no definite courses in these subjects to recommend. While this work is in the experi- mental stages it would seem wise to let the larger and more compact school systems do the experimenting, as with our schools housed as at present and without adequate room, it would be a difficult matter to take up the work in a satis- factory manner and at a reasonable expense.


THE HIGH SCHOOL


The total enrollment of the schools at present is 483. Of this number 94, or over 20 per cent, are in the High School. The High School enrollment of the State is about 13 per cent of the total enrollment. This shows that our High School is holding its pupils unusually well.


Both the work of the school and the discipline are con- tinuing to improve. Next year the enrollment at the High School will probably be considerably smaller, as the number of pupils in the ninth grade at present is but 26, as compared with 44 last year at this time, indicating that there will be approximately 18 less pupils to enter this year than Jast.


121


Report of School Superintendent


For a detailed report of the High School you are referred to the report of the principal.


IN CONCLUSION


It is with a feeling that the present harmony existing throughout the entire school department and the excellent spirit of the teaching force are in a large measure due to the wise decisions of the School Board that this report is re- spectfully submitted.


WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of High School


REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL


January 5, 1915.


MR. W. E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: Soon after the report of last year was submitted, the school gave a prize speaking contest, which was a de- cided success. Our plan is to continue the contests because we believe they are of special benefit to those who take part.


In June sixteen pupils who had done four years of faith- ful work were graduated. It was the largest class to com- plete the High School course in recent years. Several of the graduates have gone to institutions of higher learning and we are glad to know that such students are doing particularly well. They are a credit to themselves and to their High School.


School began September 8, 1914, with an entering class of forty members. The enrollment for the year is ninety- four.


Carrying out the wish of the School Committee, rhetori- cals have been carried on as usual. Instead of asking all pupils to speak, we have tried to vary the program by having some of the speaking in the form of a debate. On De- cember 11 four of the seniors took part in our first debate. We believe that it created more enthusiasm and inspiration than has been manifested before in the school and the pres- entation of the arguments, although prepared in a short time, was a decided success. It gave the participants some very practical work. The pupils found this work so inter- esting that they wish to form a debating society and later to challenge another school to a debate upon some popular question. We hope to carry this plan into effect in the near future.


We take pride in announcing the publication of a school


123


Report of High School


paper. We expect the first issue will be given to the public before this report is read. This is the first time the pupils have undertaken such work and we heartily commend them in it.


The teachers of the school feel that the general conduct of the students is a great improvement over that of last year. We expect the conduct of the pupils will continue to improve during the remainder of the year.


We are hoping for a new school building in the near future so that we may have more room in order to give a few more courses which are impracticable under the present conditions.


Respectfully submitted,


GUY W. VAIL, Principal, Scituate High School.

Report of Supervisor of Drawing


REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING


MR. W. E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: Upon taking charge of the drawing in the Scituate schools last September, it seemed to me that the material promised excellent results. Lack of foundation work, however, was very apparent. As this is being over- come, results are being secured that we hope shall demon- strate very plainly the worth-while practical ability that drawing gives, either for the professional worker or the one who wishes to use it as a means to explain or demonstrate.


While all the schools are doing well, the Scituate High School is certainly in a class quite by itself, for the work already being turned out in this school is full of character and strength, and the amount of work put through testifies to the fine enthusiasm and tireless energy of the workers. Here the conditions are so good that nearly every worker seems more like a professional than a school worker.


As to the scope and quality of the work in hand - that can be determined best by a public exhibit or showing of our work, which we propose to give at Scituate next spring, and still another exhibit at Marshfield in August, with other school work side by side, which will explain better than promises ever do.


Sincerely,


SAMUEL WARNER.

Report of Supervisor of Music


REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


MR. W. E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools.


On the subject of music in the schools, there is very little change to report. We have a great deal of ground to be covered, such as a pleasing and acceptable style in interpret- ing songs, ability to read the songs, and an understanding of the simplest principles in written music. But we have so little time and each part needs so much drill that the school year is all too short.


The first grades are learning about two songs a month; they memorize words and music and learn to sing with piano accompaniment, and they do it very well. We hope that the parents of each first-grade child will hesitate before they declare that their child cannot sing, and wait until they have heard either first grade sing as a class, to discover a discord.


In the next few grades we so earnestly try to read the notes that we are likely to forget the songs, save those we find in our book. But of late we have tried a mild form of competition between the grades placed in the same room, and find that it arouses us and demands a well-prepared lesson. The highest grades are taking up the bass clef, and trying, with the handicap of changing voices, to prepare for High School music.


At the graduation of the senior class from the High School last June, the school enjoyed a really good placing as a chorus, for the first time in the history of its graduation music. We feel that the audience got the full benefit of the voices; and now that we have "tried out" the new platform, we aim to have better singing and correct the mistakes and inaccuracies of last year.


126


Report of Supervisor of Music


I have had good, thorough work from the teachers in preparing the music lessons, for which I am very grateful. I thank you also for your support.


Respectfully submitted, LILLIE C. STODDARD.


North Scituate, December 31, 1914.

Report of School Physician


REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Scituate School Committee:


In making my report as School Physician, I submit the following for your consideration:


The office of School Physician is in its nature largely advisory. It is his duty in all cases of physical defect to inform the parents that their children are in need of a phy- sician, surgeon or dentist, and to give the reason. The success of the office is in direct proportion to the response received.


I have noticed with pleasure that a number have responded to the reports sent to the parents, by having the teeth repaired and kept clean, or tonsils and adenoids removed. The improvement in such cases is very positive.


Each year the High School is reported as being very de- ficient with regard to heat, ventilation and overcrowding, and it is to be hoped that this problem will soon be satis- factorily solved.


I have examined 487 pupils and have found 180 defectives, all of whom have been reported.


It is a pleasure to be interested in the schools and I thank the School Committee and the teachers for their courtesy and assistance to me during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


T. B. ALEXANDER, School Physician.,

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN


The subject of special interest in 1915 was the building of the Public Landing and Wharf under authority of Chapter 508 of the Acts of 1914.


The work is very nearly completed and there remains only the installation of the machinery to operate the drop and the filling of about one hundred yards of material. These items will be finished in the very early spring and the wharf ready for use. We believe it will prove a very great convenience to the many who wish to use the harbor, and also a large factor in the development of the Town.


According to the terms of agreement, the contract with the Scituate Water Company expires December 31 of this year, and it will be necessary to arrange for a new contract at the annual meeting. There are a number of important items to be considered in the new one, though it is a fact which few realize that the Water Company pays to the Town a tax $70 greater than the amount paid to the Com- pany in hydrant rental.


We are asked to contribute a small amount toward the erection of an observation tower wherein a constant watch will be kept for the preservation of our forests from fires. The plan contemplates the location of the tower on a high hill in the edge of Hingham and the experience of other towns in this matter seems to indicate that such watch care is of great benefit. The Town will also be asked to con- tribute to the maintenance of a free bed at the South Shore Hospital, in accordance with terms which will be presented at the annual meeting.
