CLASS ODE.
BY ARTHUR CLINTON ANDERSON.
Now midst fragrant breath of roses, Comes the time to say adieu. At the entrance of life's journey, Stands the class of Ninety-two. We have left those years of labor Interspersed with pleasures rare, Broader fields extend before us, Each shall find his life-work there.
CHORUS,-Though our High School life is ended, And while years may intervene, Let us not forget each other, Keep. the memories ever green.
In the days now gone forever, . Patient teachers we have known, In the dear old Wakefield High School, Seeds of knowledge they have sown. Let us hope that in the future, Useful lives we all may lead, Lives that shall disclose rich harvests Gathered from this early seed. .

TRUANCY.
Almost every year the committee are obliged to perform a disagree- able duty, that of committing some child to the (so called) truant school at Lowell, of which State Agent Walton, in the last annual report of the Board of Education, says, "I have some personal knowledge of the Lowell truant school, the 'House of Employment and Reformation of Juvenile Offenders,' as it is called. This school is grouped with three other city institutions-the almshouse, the workhouse or jail, and the insane asylum or asylums, one for men and the other for women, overlooked by the school. At the time of my last visit there were about 450 inmates in these various institutions, 90 of them insane. The school had 60 members ; II of these were · committed for larceny and vagrancy, I for drunkenness, and about 30 for truancy, though the superintendent said a third of that num- ber probably were also charged with crime, the remaining members of the school were resident pupils, 'pauper children,' as the principal called them, 10 males and 8 females." Continuing, the principal says, "the membership of this school in all the years I have been identified with it has been composed of truants, vagrants, thieves and paupers and yet," says Mr. Walton, "this is the place assigned by Lowell and thirteen other Middlesex towns as the place for their children who run away from school." He recommends that the County Commissioners exercise the authority vested in them by law and provide a county truant school. One town "after twelve years' experience, concluded to trust her truants to the street and to the home, poor though it be, rather than send them here." Of the two plans, of sending them to this "House of Employment and Reforma- tion of Juvenile Offenders" or of trusting them to our own streets, it is a question if the latter course would not produce better men.
It is only as a last resort that this extreme and disagreeable duty is resorted to, but if there were some good institution, a reformatory in every sense, there are children who would, undoubtedly, be much benefited by a few months' or a year's stay at such place, and many others who would be indirectly benefited by the possibility of being sent there on less provocation than at present.
PRUDENTIAL.
With ten school buildings containing twenty-six schools and attended by over twelve hundred pupils, it can readily be seen that
.
203
there must of necessity be considerable wear and tear of buildings, and in addition to the legitimate depreciation of the buildings is the injury and breakage caused by mischievous and malicious persons. The Committee intend, as far as possible, to attend to all necessary repairs, during the summer vacation, but notwithstanding all that is done at that time, repairs are almost constantly required.
During the past summer two more buildings have been painted and repaired outside, the North and East Ward buildings. This leaves only two, the Woodville and Franklin street school houses, which have not been painted within the past three years. The walls and ceilings have been tinted in the High School building, including the the halls, recitation rooms and the Advanced Grammar school room. Now from basement to attic, this building is in good order, but this cannot be said of the roof, which is in almost constant need of repair. We learn from a reliable source that the slates are poor and that the roof needs reslating. In addition to this, the balustrades around the roof should be removed. They are not only useless and unsightly but are also a source of expense. .
The appropriation for contingent expenses would not have been over run but for the fact that many more old desks and chairs were repaired for the Lincoln Building than the Committee had estimated upon. While this made the expense less for new furniture which was paid out of the appropriation for that building, it was quite an increase in our account for contingencies.
The Committee are seriously considering the purchasing of coal for school buildings by the cargo. The school department requires about 340 tons. Other town departments use about 100 more tons. Local dealers claim that they but little more than clear expenses. If this is the case it would prove a double benefit for the town to pur- chase its coal by the cargo. We believe it could be done at quite a saving.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Another year comes around and with it our annual recommenda- tion, "that the town employ a Superintendent of Schools." We earnestly hope that this year the town may grant our request. Mr. A. W. Edson, agent of the State Board of Education, says of the towns in Worcester County, "To show the change of public senti- ment in favor of competent supervision, I note the fact that, of the fifty-nine towns and cities in Worcester County three years ago but
204
eight of them employed superintendents of schools, while up to the present time the number has been increased to forty-four." Mr. Edson says further "The value of skilled supervision rests almost entirely in the training of teachers to do better work. The idea, occasionally advanced, that good teachers do not need this training, is mere nonsense. * * This work, the School Committee, with other interests on their minds, having neither the time nor train- ing necessary, even if they have the ability, cannot do."
We might fill pages in support of the desirability and necessity for the employment of a Superintendent of Schools. No firm of business men would think of conducting a business without a mana- ger, but in the case of our town six men are expected in addition to their own individual business, to conduct successfully that most important business of superintending the public schools. Again we respectfully and earnestly ask of the town the authority to appoint a School Superintendent. By doing this in conjunction with some neighboring town, the additional expense would be nominal, in fact, but little more than the price of one good teacher, while the benefit to the schools, compared with the present system of supervision, would be almost incalculable.
For the past two years we have recommended that some action be taken by the town relative to the introduction of some simple forms of industrial training. We believe that an industrial school for such graduates of the grammar grades, who do not wish to take the High School Course, would go far toward solving the problem of how to make our schools more practical, and we respectfully recom.n.end consideration by the town of this important branch of education.
Last year we recommended the enlargement of the Franklin Street school building and a committee was appointed by the town to inves- tigate as to the practicability of so doing. This committee reported against the advisability of enlarging the present building owing to the expense and they believed it would be only a few years before even a larger building would be required than it was contemplated making of this, and that when a new building was erected it should be upon some other lot. Though one grade has been removed the necessity still exists for the better accommodation of this district.
This is also true of the Hamilton and West districts, and the present lot in Greenwood is unsuitable, both in size and location, for a new building. Available lots are yearly growing less and are in- creasing proportionately in expense, and we believe it would be wise
205
on the part of the town to purchase lots in each of these districts, as school buildings will be needed in the near future.
We do not think it right to oblige children, and especially primary · children, to travel a long distance to school, even though our fore- fathers when young did enjoy this privilege. It should not be a question of whether it is good for children, or whether or not parents are willing to send their children long distances to school. The law requires that "every town shall provide school houses conveniently located for the accommodation of all children therein entitled to attend the public schools," and schools from one to two miles distant can hardly be construed into "conveniently located" school houses.
We wish, in behalf of the town, to extend our hearty thanks to Mrs. H. N. Flint for the fine portrait of Mr. Cyrus Wakefield, which she generously presented to the High School.
The term of office of Messrs. Hill and White expire this year, making two vacancies to be filled at the annual meeting in March, for a term of three years each.
The committee would respectfully recommend for the support of schools for the ensuing year the following appropriations :

IN MEMORIAM.
"In Riverside, Cal. Jan. 13th, Miss Clara P. Riggs, formerly of Wakefield."
In September, 1889, Miss Riggs was appointed assistant in the Advanced Grammar school, and later was transferred to the Centre First Primary school where she taught till the close of schools last June.
At the beginning of the fall term being unable to resume her duties she requested a year's leave of absence which the committee willingly granted. In October she started for Riverside, Cal., in hopes of regaining her rapidly failing strength, but in January, hardly three months after her departure, came the sad news of her death.
She was of a bright, cheerful disposition, and by her death the town loses a capable instructor and her pupils a loving Christian friend and teacher.
