even when the schools were not closed on account of it. The usual amount of work, hewever, has been substantially accom- plished, notwithstanding this interruption, greatly to the credit of the faithful teachers.
TRUANCY.
The Committee are happy to report that there have been few cases of truancy during the year just closing. C. E. Niles, our Chief of Police, and Rufus Draper were appointed by the Com- mittee, truant officers, and have been attentive and faithful in the discharge of their duties. In no case has it been deemed necessary by the Committee, to enforce the extreme penalty of the law. A visit from the truant officer, or an admonition from the School Committee, has generally corrected the tendency to truancy when it manifested itself in any pupil. There have been frequent absences from the schools, but these generally resulted from the illness which has been prevalent, or from fear, on the part of the parents, lest their children should be exposed to dis- ease. As is usually true, a considerable number of older pupils have been absent a part of the year, to perform various kinds of labor. These pupils have uniformly made application to the proper authorities and received a legal permit for such absences. The Committee, however, would urge upon the parents the neces- sity of keeping their children in school the full year, when by any means it is possible. Pupils who are removed from the schools, although for satisfactory reasons, not only suffer serious interrup- tion in the course of study, but lose heart in their work and are much less effective in the fragment of the year during which they attend school.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The course of study in the High School has been somewhat re-adjusted, and been made rather more comprehensive. Every year brings to this school an increasing number of those who are preparing for college. This fact necessitates an increase of expen- diture, as a larger force of teachers is demanded. The classes, being smaller, are more numerous. Those who complete the full classical course in our High School are fitted for entrance exami- nations in our leading colleges.

CLASS ODE.
WRITTEN BY ALICE JAYNE KERNAN.
To-night, amidst our happiness, The thought comes-we must part ; And ties, which love has bound so fast, Be severed in each heart. Good Bye, Good Bye, O Wakefield High ! Long may your banner wave O'er teachers kind, we leave behind, O'er scholars true and brave.
CHORUS .- Farewell, farewell, to all, farewell ! Farewell, farewell, to all a fond farewell !
155
What, though our paths apart must run ;
Long will our hearts recall The pleasures we've together shared Within the school-house wall ; And, where such joyous days we've spent, Fond memory oft will dwell. With saddened hearts and dewy eyes
We bid to all, farewell .- CHORUS.

CADETS.
The citizens have been justly proud of the fine appearance made by the High School Cadets. The young men who compose this company have given much time and study to the Manual of Arms and the evolutions of the company. The result has been very satisfactory. This company took the second prize on the First Annual Field Day, held in Wakefield, May 10, 1890, at which there were present companies from Gloucester, Lynn, Woburn, Brookline, Reading, Lowell, Malden and Medford. The School Committee appreciating the importance and value of this branch of training, took action this year by which the Cadets are brought more immediately into the line of school work. Pro- motions hereafter are to be based not simply upon military fitness,
156
but upon honesty and faithfulness in school work. The company is at liberty to elect its officers, but those elections must have the approval of the principal, and then the election is sanctioned by the School Committee. This improved method has been heartily endorsed by the Cadets and has proved very satisfactory.
A drill-master has been employed this year and the Cadets have spent considerable time in the evening in the study of mili- tary tactics. We are happy to commend the spirit which has prevailed among them this year, as well as the excellent results of their work.
FLAGS.
Through the generous kindness of various citizens, the United States flags have been placed over all the schools in town this year. The committee would publicly in this report express their thanks to the large-hearted citizens who have contributed these flags. The stars and stripes floating over every school are an object-lesson in patriotism, and must stir the hearts of the pupils who are to be our future citizens with enthusiasm for their country. The public school should teach patriotism if it fails in every other line. These beautiful flags are text-books in loyalty to country, written in red, white and blue.
TEACHERS.
Frequent changes in the teaching force in any school are dis- astrous to the best work. It has been the effort of the School Committee to retain the successful teachers as far as possible. There have been, however, the following changes in the teaching force : Miss Grace J. Barker resigned her position as assistant in the High School at the close of the Summer term. Miss Helen Folsom, who came well recommended, was appointed to this position and began teaching at the opening of the Fall term and
has done excellent work. Miss H. J. Williams resigned the position of first assistant in the High School in the middle of the Fall term. The Committee were unable at once to fill this place satisfactorily. Miss Martha Sprague was appointed tem- porarily, and her services were very acceptable. On account of the interruption at the beginning of the term, it was found necces- sary to continue her services for the remainder of the year.
157
Miss Alice M. Merrill, a teacher of large experience, who held a position of responsibility in the public schools of a neighboring town, was finally secured and appointed to fill permanently the position of first assistant. The appointment has been thorough- ly satisfactory.
The Centre Second Primary suffered the loss of teacher and assistant teacher, both of whom resigned. The Committee were especally fortunate in securing Miss Minnie Emerson, whose record as a former teacher in our public schools had been such as to in- sure her large success in this important position of teacher in the Second Primary. Miss Hattie A. Currier, who had filled the position of assistant in the West Ward School, was transferred to the position of assistant in the Centre Second Primary.
Miss Kernan, who graduated in the last class from the High School, was appointed as Assistant in the Hamilton Primary School. Miss Edith R. Marshall was appointed to the place made vacant by the transfer of Miss Currier.
It does not seem out of place here to commend the thorough and conscientious work, which has been performed by our faithful teachers in our public schools during the past year. The em- barrassments and annoyances which teachers endure, none know except those who have been teachers themselves. The work has been especially perplexing this year, on account of the frequent absences and the excitement in the public mind, which affected the pupils, largely occasioned by the prevalence of sickness in our community. The school year has been very successful in the face of these serious interruptions, and the credit is due to the conscientious work of these faithful teachers.
MONEY.
The general fund voted by the town for the support of schools for the year just closing was $17,800. The expenditures have been kept entirely within the appropriation. The salary of an additional teacher for the High School had to be provided for, beginning with the latter part of September. Miss H. S. Williams, the first assistant in the High School, resigned unexpectedly to the Committee, and the vacancy was filled by the appointment of a temporary teacher, until the Committee could secure one thoroughly capable of filling this important place.
158
The new system of heating aud ventilating the High School was not completed until the 29th of September. This delay interrupted the school for about four weeks, and necessarily increased the amount of work to be done in the High School during the remainder of the school year. It was found necessary, on this account, to continue the temporary teacher during the year, a permanent teacher having been appointed as first assistant. The account stands at this date, Dec. 31st, 1890, as follows :

CARE OF AND IMPROVEMENTS IN BUILDINGS.
The school-house at Greenwood has been thoroughly repainted outside, the desks varnished, and the inside generally repaired, and the North Ward school building has been painted inside and the walls and ceilings tinted. The buildings on Academy Hill have received only attention enough to render them fit to be used. Unnecessary expense has not been incurred, as it has been the hope of the Committee that the town would see its way to erect a suitable school-house on this beautiful site. The Committee painfully felt the need of it when they found it necessary to divide the Second Primary, permitting one-half the pupils to
159
attend one session, and the other half the other session. The enrollment of the school was eighty-six, and the seating capacity seventy ; and not more than fifty pupils should ever be permitted to occupy any room. Slight expense has been necessary, as the financial report will show, to renew the stoves and keep the school in running order.
Somewhat extensive improvements have been made in the High School building.
Although these improvements were not committed to the School Committee as such, but to a special committee appointed by the town, it is proper that reference should be made to them here. At a town meeting held August 4th, the amount of $4,547.00 was appropriated to meet the expense of putting into the High School the Fuller and Warren system of heating and ventilation. This sum was entirely sufficient to meet the expense of this change. Certain improvements were made, however, at the same time, which were necessary, and involved some expense beyond that provided for by this special appropriation.
RECOMMENDATIONS. - A NEW BUILDING.
First. The Committee would respectfully but earnestly urge the adoption of some plan by which the capacity of our schools may be enlarged. Any one who will take the pains to analyze the statistical tables will see that in many of the lower grades the seating capacity is not sufficient to accommodate the enrollment of the schools. A new building is imperatively needed. Nearly ninety pupils were enrolled in the Second Primary School, the seating capacity of which is only seventy. The teacher of this grade reports that there doubtless would have been one hundred present at the beginning of the winter term, had it not been for sickness among the children. It goes without saying, that the best work cannot be done under these conditions. The Committee is very hopeful that before the close of the present school year some substantial steps will have been taken toward the better accommodation of our school children.
160
Second.
SUPERINTENDENT.
Another recommendation which the Committee would urge upon the citizens is the employment of a Superintendent of Public Schools as soon as possible. In the admirable report presented in 1885, the Committee say : "It must be manifest to every citizen that the Committee cannot, in the very nature of things, give to the schools that care and constant supervision which the magnitude of the interests demands." Men who are extremely busy with their regular business, are generally the men elected upon the School Committee, and they are probably the men who are most useful on that Committee. In the very nature of the case, it is impossible for them to give enough time to the schools to superintend them thoroughly. As a result, there is less unity, thoroughness, and effectiveness in the work. It is the opinon of the present School Committee, that by certain re-adjus- ments of the teaching force, a Superintendent's salary could be mostly provided for, without increasing the appropriation. They earnestly recommend such an appointment, and in doing so are only reiterating the opinion of the able Committees that have gone before them, as the above quotation shows.
Third.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
The Committee would modestly and tentatively suggest the introduction of some simple forms of industrial training into our schools. A considerable number of our public schools are intro- ducing this department of training. This report is not the place for argument, nor is argument necessary, for every intelligent citizen will at once see the value of such a course of training. The object of our public school system is to train citizens for intelli- gent citizenship ; men and women for their life work. To train the hand is as essential as to develope the mind. That this might be accomplished, a school of carpentering could be intro- ducted with comparatively little expense. This would also be a step in preparation for the Institute of Technology to those who are fitting for that institution. The hand on the dial points in · the direction of such training, and it would be greatly to the credit of our beautiful village to be in the van of those who move
161
along the lines of large and complete development of progressive school work.
With acknowledgement of the hearty support given to the public schools during this year by the citizens of the town, this report, with the statistical table, is respectfully submitted by,
