High School Principal's Report.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Sir :- I herewith present my sixth annual report, and the tenth in the series of High School principals' reports.
The past year has been a somewhat eventful one in the history of your High School. Among the events of the year two stand out prominently, viz : (1) the addition of six cheerful and commodious rooms to the old school building, and (2) the successful inaugura- tion of a business course. In other respects, the work of the school has been carried forward in the usual quiet and unostentatious man- ner.
The school since last September has been larger than ever before in its history, and taken as a whole, has been in better condition than I have ever seen it. The reasons which have brought about this improved condition are not far to seek. The addition to the school building, giving ample and convenient recitation rooms and generous corridors, has rendered the administration of the school much easier than heretofore, because less crowded. The business course has been another factor in the improvement of the school. It is my opinion that the introduction of the business course, instead of being an injury to the standard of the school, as many feared, has been a distinct advantage. Many pupils now taking the commercial branches find that these appeal to them, where the ordinary subjects of the old curriculum had no interest whatever. The general aver- age of interest is higher today than I have ever seen it. But by far the most potent factor in the improvement is the larger proportion of strong teachers to be found in the corps. Ample accommodations and interesting subjects of study are, of themselves, of little value. An alert, sympathetic teacher is needed to vitalize the machine.
34
BUSINESS COURSE.
I wish to speak of the various departments of the school and will begin with the latest comer into the curriculum, viz., the business course.
Our business course is a success. Some thirty-nine members of the first year class are in this department, thirty-two of the second year, twenty-five of the third and twelve of the fourth year class. As I have said above, the interest taken in its work is well sustained. It is no infrequent thing for from six to eight or even ten pupils to come voluntarily to the commercial rooms in the afternoon to continue their work. The interest in many cases amounts to enthusiasm. No - effort has been made to render the work light and easy. On the other hand, I have an impression that it is the general opinion of the pu- pils that work in this department is quite as heavy and exacting as in any other. This is as it should be. The measure of success reached has been largely due to the personality of the teacher whom we were fortunate enough to secure to take charge of the department. Next year, however, as the course expands, as it will necessarily (there will be an additional class in stenography, and business law and geog- raphy will be added to the course of study), the demands of the course will be too heavy for one teacher to meet. It appears at the present time, in view of the probable large number of pupils in the school next year, as though it might be necessary to employ an assist- ant in the department to teach commercial arithmetic, correspon- dence and typewriting and assist the head of the department in book- keeping. Such an assistant could be obtained, I should say, for $400. Such an arrangement would be economical and would aid in maintaining the standard of this department.
THE DRAWING DEPARTMENT.
The drawing department is from my point of view in a more satis- factory condition than it has ever been, owing no doubt to the fact that a room has been assigned for its exclusive use, classes passing to it when the drawing hour comes. The time of the teacher is econo- mized because there is no necessity for moving materials from room to room, as has been necessary in the past. As our school comes more and more to fit for the scientific schools, there comes an in- . creased demand for courses in freehand and mechanical drawing.
35
With the present number of pupils electing drawing (some sixty), the time which the teacher can give to individual pupils is limited, so that no pupil gets quite what is desirable. If the teacher could be in attendance a whole day instead of two-thirds of a day, the value of the department to the pupils would be materially increased.
THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
The music work of the school is confined to two periods a week. The three upper classes sing together, and the first year class by it- self. The work is generally satisfactory. Interest is good. The greatest obstacle to better work is the large numbers in the chorus making it impossible for Mr. Wilson to know individually the capacity of each pupil. I have discussed with myself the advisability of mak- ing music elective, as you have made drawing, but I am not yet con- vinced that it is a desirable move. Those pupils who cannot sing are few in number and it is our practice to excuse such from singing, but require them to listen to the work of the chorus. I do not conceive it to be the sole function of the music department to train pupils to produce music, but it is quite as desirable to train them to an appre- ciation of good music when heard. I am led to the conclusion that the music ought to offer, not only opportunity for the production of music, but also the opportunity to hear good music. I cannot see why it would not be legitimate to present to High School pupils two or three times a year in the shape of vocal or instrumental music, some of the works of the great masters with interpretative comments. I believe that if music is to be retained in the high schools that some such course will be necessary.
THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.
The facilities of the science department have been increased the present year to the extent of two Harvard physics tables. I find that as facilities for science work are provided pupils appear, to avail themselves of them. Our present class in advanced physics consists of ten pupils. Last year there were a few less, the year before six, and the year before that, none. It is now three years since the Harvard physics apparatus was provided and no year has passed in which there has not been a good number of pupils electing that course.
We have by no means the equipment which would justify the state-
36
ment that the science department is on as good footing as, say, the business department. There is needed immediately sets of apparatus which could be put into the hands of pupils in the elementary course in physics. This present year there are something like fifty pupils in the second year physics class. These pupils are younger by two years than those in the advanced course and are at such an age that a series of simple experiments performed by themselves would be of great interest and value. I can conceive of no adequate reason for the elementary course in physics not being popular, but it is never- theless true that we do not find the active interest and enthusiasm in that course which could be desired. The teacher may perform ex- periments herself, and does do so, but nothing takes the place in arous- ing interest of the apparatus actually in the hands of a pupil. A hun- dred dollars would go far toward increasing the efficiency of the phy- sics department. This year for the first time we have laboratory room sufficient to put into operation an elementary laboratory course. In chemistry the only imperative need is for a new text book.
The other departments of the school, viz., History, French, Math- ematics, Greek, Latin and English are being administered with the customary degree of success. In French, History and English espe- cially there is manifested a degree of enthusiasm on the part of pu- pils. Much is being done by the teachers of English in arousing an an interest in good literature.
TEACHERS.
Thus far in speaking of the needs of the school and its work by de- partments, I have confined myself to the material equipment. How- ever, it is borne in upon me from year to year with increasing force that no matter how good this equipment may be, the work of any school will be a dismal failure without good teachers,-those who are in every sense of the word, teachers. The number of such teachers in the community is small. A gentleman who has had large experience in visiting schools throughout New England said to me a short while ago that he thought there were perhaps six good teachers in twenty. If this is true and good teachers are so rare, I am inevitably driven to the following conclusion : When Wakefield succeeds in securing one of these rare teachers, it is the part of wisdom to make every possible effort and sacrifice to retain her services for the children of Wakefield, no matter what may be the inducement held out by richer
37
communities to go elsewhere, and it is folly to let her go when a few dollars will retain her services. Poor teachers are expensive at any price. Good ones are cheap at any price.
TELEPHONE.
Among the needs of the school is a telephone connecting the office with each of the recitation rooms. As the school increases in numbers, the calls of various sorts for pupils during the day naturally increases. All such calls come through the office and I find that quite an amount of time is consumed in sending messengers to va- rious parts of the building for pupils. The increase in the number of such calls and in the size of the building makes the introduction of some system of communication desirable. Further with a large number of teachers, I find that the number of questions naturally arising has increased also. Such a system would also facilitate com- munication between teachers and the principal and save many steps and much valuable time.
AS A FITTING SCHOOL.
The demands made upon the school as a fitting school for college do not seem to diminish. At the present time there are to be found in the colleges and normal schools of New England thirty-two of our alumni, and of these twenty-three have entered college during the last two years. We now have representatives in Brown, Tufts, Bos- ton University, Dartmouth, Amherst, Salem Normal, Smith, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The graduating class of this year will add Wellesley and Vassar to the list. The suc- cess of our pupils in college has been increasingly gratifying.
REFERENCE BOOKS.
During the past six years there has been expended upon the refer- ence library the sum of sixty-one dollars, fifty dollars appropriated from the school funds and eleven dollars, the profits of the gradua- tion exercises for one year. I am of the opinion that if a small sum, say fifty dollars, could be set aside annually for the purpose of mak- ing additions to our school library, it would meet the needs of the school. And this is especially true as the relations between the Pub- lic Library and our school, thanks to the generosity of of the trustees
38
of the library, is such that the school can get practically what it wishes in the way of historical works, etc., which may happen to be in the library. There is seldom a time when we do not have on our tables two dozen of the town library's books. In this connection I might refer to the arrangement by which some half dozen magazines from the Public Reading Room (after being on the reading room table a month) are to be found in the office of the principal for the use of the pupils of the school.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The teachers of the school still avail themselves of the authority granted by the school committee to require pupils to return to an af- ternoon session from three o'clock till quarter past four, and I have to report that an experience of three years has proved the session to be a valuable means for the improvement of school work.
The school has received during the past year from the pupils of the first year class a solar print, " Reading from Homer," by Alma Tade- ma, a colored photograph of the Castle of Chillon, and a bust of Daniel Webster.
The Faneuil Hall chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution have under consideration a proposition to give the school a large print of some American subject.
The Alumni prizes for English essays were won by Lauren L. Mc- Master, class of 1900, first prize, and Edna C. Collings, 1900, second prize.
Respectfully,
CHARLES H. HOWE.

CLASS SONG.
BLANCHE ROBERTS HAMILTON.
We are standing on the threshold
Of a century newly born,
With our eager faces turning
Toward the first pale flush of dawn.
In our hearts there glows one purpose,
Which through life we will pursue,
That whatever may befall us,
We'll uphold the good and true,
We'll uphold the good and true.
Refrain -Yes, let us breathe a prayer for guidance, Wheresoever we may be ; And with banners bravely waving, On ! Class of the Century !
These are days of anxious doubting ; Men are struggling to be free, So we humbly pray, oh Father, Teach us what is liberty.
Then with lofty zeal and courage,
Facing what before us lies, Simply doing each day's duty,
" Step by step " we'll gain the prize. " Step by step " we'll gain the prize.
Refrain-Yes, let us breathe a prayer for guidance, Wheresoever we may be ; And with banners bravely waving, On ! Class of the Century !
