Extracts from "Training for Business" (The article referred to above).
"When fixing a minimum standard for promotion and graduation, I wrote to a number of schools near Scituate, but received replies from only two. I asked for their requirements and standards; and I found from these replies that we had a very much higher standard than
19
The High School
they, so with a little revision, kept that which had been set.
"In order to get into the senior class, the juniors have to pass a complete theory test in shorthand, and they also must be able to write sixty words a minute for three minutes on new letters, and last year one junior won the sixty-word solid matter transcription certificate.
"In typewriting, each one must pass a ten-minute speed test on new matter, writing twenty-five words with no more than five errors.
"Besides the speed test, each one must transcribe satisfactorily the letter which he takes in shorthand at sixty words.
"In order to get a commercial diploma in stenog- raphy, the seniors must write at one hundred words a minute on new letter material and in typewriting do forty words a minute for fifteen minutes. As I have said be- fore, this is a minimum. We have had pupils who have written at sixty-five, seventy and ninety-five words for fifteen minutes on the typewriter. In shorthand our maximum has been 130 words on letters, while every one in last year's class won a transcription certificate on the 100-word test.
"If after taking the work for two years a pupil fails to reach the standards he gets credit towards a gen- eral diploma and he may graduate. We have held strictly to this plan of granting no commercial diplomas to those who fail to reach the minimum requirements. And since the pupil knows early in the senior year whether his work is qualifying, no one ever questions it when he receives a general diploma after taking com- mercial work for two years.
"All the results which I have given here are those which we can measure only by figures and certificates, but the biggest result which we see in Scituate under this new sytem is the increase in desire on the part of the
20
Manual Training
pupils to do good work. When there was no standard, anything was good enough -- now only their best satisfies."
MANUAL TRAINING FOR BOYS
The plans proposed a year ago for offering instruc- tion for manual arts for boys were put into operation in September. We sought the advice of the Director of Training at Fitchburg Normal School as to the extent of the work to be undertaken and the instructor. On his recommendation we secured Mr. Stanley Kruszyna for instructor and planned for instruction in carpentry, sheet metal work and wood finishing. Mr. Kruszyna took his class into the basement of the old high school, into what was last year the coal bin. The basement is now a clean, attractive and usable shop. All of the work has been done by the boys. The benches are of approved models and are built at a saving of over fifty per cent in cost.
Now that the shop is equipped, work is begun on in- dividual projects. Before long the finished articles of furniture and cabinet work will be ready for exhibition. The interest and industry of the boys in this department is very gratifying. A visit to the shop during school hours should convince the most skeptical of the great educational value of this work.
The turnover in teachers is small. Our teachers stay with us. Breaks in organization and administration are injurious because they delay or prevent the comple- tion of any worthwhile undertaking in school organiza- tion and achievement. Adjustment of the curriculum is the problem of today. What shall we teach to best fit for living in our modern civilization ? The old education does not fit. It has served its time. A modified training must be provided if the expenditure for schools is to be justified. Our teachers are responsive to this problem
21
Americanization
and are trying to contribute to its solution here in Scituate. We are revising our program in English in the high school and in geography and arithmetic in the grades. An equitable division of opportunity for the college-bound and the industrial-minded is being sought.
AMERICANIZATION
There is but one new phase of educational work pressing for attention. The foreign population is increas- ing and bringing to us here, as it has elsewhere, political and social problems. Opportunity should be given those of foreign birth to learn the English language, as well as the principles of our government. The Commonwealth bears half of the expense for the maintenance of evening classes for the education of adults of foreign birth. A small appropriation for this purpose should be made in this year's budget and plans made now for a session of evening classes to be conducted next fall and winter. Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK E. BRAGDON,
Superintendent.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. F. E. Bragdon :
Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
In reporting some of the noteworthy efforts made in Scituate for the improvement and advancement of school music during the past year, I would mention the follow- ing general aims:
(a) To develop pleasure in song as a means of expression.
(b) To secure free and correct use of the voice in singing.
(c) To develop musical qualities of performance of songs.
(d) To develop a conception of music as something to be heard as well as something to be ex- pressed.
(e) Progressive development of power to use the printed language of music.
(f) Progressive extension of musi- cal experience beyond that pro- vided by singing.
Respectfully submitted,
JEANNE BRADFORD,
Supervisor of Music ..

DOES SUPERVISION OF PENMANSHIP PRODUCE RESULTS?
There are some features of school work that are utilized to a large extent after leaving the grades, whether we continue on in study or go at once to work. A good legible hand-writing is something that proves "worth-while" whatever one may do.
My "objective" as a supervisor is to outline some special phase of work and to emphasize those principles that will develop the individual along my line.
A grade teacher of a necessity sees mainly the work done day by day in her own room, but the supervisor passes from grade to grade and thus has the opportunity to make helpful suggestions and offer guidance from the beginning of letter formation up to the point where it is possible to accomplish a finishing process and evolve a "style" for the individual pupil.
Teachers also discover means of getting the penman- ship lessons "across" to their particular grade - this a supervisor is quick to note and can pass on the helpful ideas to others whom she may visit in the course of her work.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee,
Scituate, Mass.
In this report the improvement in the physical con- dition of those pupils who are 10% or more underweight is very gratifying.
The general health of the School pupils has been satisfactory. There were a few cases of Scarlet Fever, but no other contageous diseases.
I have inspected the buildings from time to time and have always found everything clean and sanitary.
Examination of pupils has been made with the fol- lowing result:

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY BOARD
For the Town of Scituate upon the Warrant for the Annual Meeting to be held March 2, 1925
To the Voters of Scituate:
The Advisory Board is pleased to make the following recom- mendations on the various Articles in the Town Warrant, and is gratified at the prospect it presents if these recommendations are adopted at the Annual Meeting.
The Warrant calls for appropriations of nearly $400,000. The total sum recommended by the Advisory Board is $352,937.56, of which $30,000 can be taken from the " Excess and Deficiency Account."* $5,000 can be taken from the " Overlay Surplus " and $317,937.56 will be raised from the tax levy. This, less the usual credits due the Town, together with the average increase in valuation, should bring the tax rate well within $28 per thousand.
The success of the Road Committee working in co-operation with the Highway Surveyor has been so complete the Board strongly advises a continuance of this policy. We therefore recommend the adoption of Article 17.
The various Articles calling for appropriations for roads have been treated as in the past two years. A lump sum of $30,000 has been recommended to care for all the new work .under Articles 17 and 18. Should these Articles be acted on favorably, all the Articles calling for appropriations for new road construction can be cared for out of this sum under the direction of the Road Committee.
If Articles 17 and 18 are adopted, Articles 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 41 should be indefinitely postponed.
The following are our recommendations :
In the estimated expenses we recommend an increase in General Government from $12,300 to $12,500. We also recommend an increase in Hydrant Rental from $16,800 to $16,900 to provide for Article 56.
*The "Excess and Deficiency Account" is a fund which has been accu- mulating over a period of years; is made up of various surpluses and now amounts to some $58,000.00
