The force of custom compels the practice rather than any real desire.
It has come to my knowledge in more than a single case that the purchase of class pictures has been a burden and a source of trial. The classes should devise a method by which each member would exchange with only those whose pictures he or she really cares for.
THIRD. The expenses of the reception should be re- duced. In this opinion more than a third of those making reply concur. Ordinarily from $160 to $175 covers the expenses of the reception, the main items being the invita- tions, orchestra and refreshments. The reduction could be
299
effected by the use of printed instead of engraved invita- tions, and by simplifying the refreshments. One reply suggested a reduction of the number of invitations.
On the whole, from the facts as found, I am forced to the conclusion that the expenses are needlessly large and could readily be reduced in the following items : (1) flow- ers at graduation, by dispensing with them altogether by vote of the school committee ; (2) class pictures, by modify- ing the system of exchange by vote of the classes, so that each shall exchange with those only with whom he or she cares to ; (3) class dues, by providing less elaborate invita- tions and refreshments, this also being done by vote of the classes.
COLLEGE ENTRANCE.
During the past year the school has been granted, by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board, the privi- lege of certification at the New England colleges that admit students by certificate. To obtain this important privilege, a statement had to be made concerning the amount of work done in the various courses of the school, the methods of teaching employed and a list of those pupils who have within the past few years entered colleges from the school. Under this privilege it will be possible for our pupils to enter by certificate any of the following colleges : Brown University, Boston University, Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Hol- yoke, Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Amherst and Wil- liams. I think it will be of interest to the people of Wake- field to know how many have entered college from the last five classes.

Of these fifty-three, 90 per cent. can well be said to have reflected credit upon the school and their teachers.
MILITARY DRILL.
I cannot refrain from expressing my satisfaction with the condition of the battalion. Under the efficient care of Lieut. Brockbank it is in excellent shape. The system of marking the drill as other studies are marked, inaugurated last year, has been helpful in bringing about this very healthful condition.
DRAWING.
This subject is being elected by an increasing number from year to year. This year, owing to the number in the course, a practical difficulty appeared in making the pro- gram. It became necessary to require members of different classes to work together at the same hour, an arrangement hardly economical of effort. If the number electing this subject is maintained, it would appear advisable to have the services of a drawing instructor for more than the present allowance of two-thirds of a day. A full day would be none too much. It is a question whether those pupils fitting for normal and technical schools (like M. I. T.), and others who show an aptitude for drawing, should not have the opportunity for two or three hours' work weekly, instead of the single one as at present.

CLASS SONG. LOUISE EVELYN URQUHART.
Tonight we sadly meet,
While future's gleams are cast As if to place a seal Upon the past. O! Past, with lingering eye, We fondly gaze on thee, As days of studious joy, And unity.
We've pressed through four short years, With fervor, side by side, Along the avenue Of Knowledge wide. How many paths appear, Our varied duties shown ;
Each one must choose his way And walk alone.
A happy path is ours With lessons we have learned, The right to be upheld, The wrong be spurned. All power we challenge then, When right is in the lead. It's victory to the end, A life indeed.
Our motto let us heed : May He who makes life bright, Show us the way to solve Our lives aright. A fleeting shadow steals As time to part draws nigh ; With tearful eyes we breathe A sad good-bye.

Report of the Supervisor of Music.
To THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, MR. ALFRED C. THOMPSON :
DEAR SIR :- In the department of music the same steady progress has been made ; no radical change of importance has taken place. The teachers have become familiar with the work, and what they are expected to do in their various grades, so that each will supplement the other to make a systematic course from the beginning.
In the lower grades the preparatory work of tone percep- tion, tone relations, ear training, scale and rote song sing- ing, has been carefully done with excellent results.
It has been the aim of every teacher to secure as much individual effort on the part of the pupils as the short time given to the music lesson will permit, recognizing the fact that this must be done to counteract the effect of the leaders which every class contains, so as to get the individual effort of each pupil.
In the third and fourth grades excellent work has been done, with exercises in rhythm and melody, and the tone relations of the chromatic tones to the regular scale tones.
We are fortunate in having teachers in these grades who are very efficient in the work.
The fifth and sixth grades have accomplished their usual amount of work.
More difficult exercises in time, tune, and chromatics have been studied, and a clearer conception of music is developed, recognizing that to properly interpret the com- poser's ideal in music, it is essential that each pupil must be able to read, and properly execute the music from the printed page.
Individual reading, writing and singing, so that each pupil may know the keys, signatures, and all musical char-
309
acters used to represent music, are practiced daily with good results.
The seventh, eighth and ninth grades have studied all major and minor scales, and have written them together with scale and staff intervals, also have named the triads and their inversions and have sung them from dictation, and are able to name them if played on the organ, thus fur- nishing the pupil a foundation for harmony if he ever wish to pursue the study farther on.
We find in some of the upper grades a few pupils, usually boys, who do not take as much interest in music as it is their priviledge and opportunity to do so. This is very often caused by the lack of home encouragement. I wish it were otherwise. It is an ever present problem to their teachers how to interest them and awaken them to their opportunities.
It is ever our ardent desire to so direct the efforts of the pupils that they may enjoy and appreciate the good and beautiful in music, that their lives and those with whom they come in contact, may be enriched thereby.
In the High school, the first division have accomplished some good work. These pupils are using the old book that has been used in the upper room for a great number of years, but as the book was new to these pupils they have taken a very good interest in the music, and have sung since September 1st, twenty-five or more selections.
In the upper division which contains pupils of the second, third and fourth years, not so much has been accomplished, simply for lack of material, not more than six selections have been used since September 1st, and some of them were old ones.
If seats could be furnished for the upper hall the two divisions could then come together, and one book do for the two pupils, and only one period used for the music lessons, thus saving time and expense.
310
If the present arrangement is to be continued, a new book should be furnished these pupils, containing exercises, glees, part songs, selections from oratorios, and a number of good hymns.
I hope that this recommendation will receive more than a passing notice.
Acknowledging my obligations to you sir, the school committee, and the teachers, who have contributed to the success of the work, I respectfully present my annual report.
GEORGE F. WILSON, Supervisor of Music.
Report of Supervisor of Drawing.
MR. A. C. THOMPSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Dear Sir :- A recent article in the "Journal of Educa- tion," states that an investment in schools often brings bet- ter returns than mines, railroads or government bonds. "Teach the children drawing and art and they will live in better houses, will take better care of them, will dress bet- ter, will earn more, will spend it better, will make a larger tax return. Teach the children in your city drawing and art wisely and well, and they will return in the increase to taxable property ten times all that you invest in them. Every phase of the great public school system that broadens its scope, that enlarges the aspirations of the children, in- creases the rate of interest and improves the investment as definitely as money in blooded stock is better than in mon- grel herds."
It is with a desire for such results that the course of drawing in our schools is based. Its objects are not only to increase a love for beauty and appreciation of fine art but to promote habits of observation, accuracy, neatness,
311
originality, good judgment, qualities desirable in any busi- ness or profession, in other words an "education for efficiency."
In a recent discussion on the teaching of drawing from a tradesman's standpoint, two business men testified as to its value, but differed widely as to emphasis. One considered technical accuracy and perfection of detail the essential in the training, while the other contended that ability to make "quick" freehand sketches and the versatility to develop an idea in several different ways were more desirable. We of course do not aim to fit for any particular profession or school but only to lay a general foundation on which more special work may be raised.
We intend to be progressive and to make such changes in the course from year to year as seem necessary to keep up the standard for good work as shown in the best schools in the vicinity.
An occurence this fall seems to show that we are working along approved lines. In a competition for prizes offered by the School Arts Book, a publication for teachers, edited by Mr. H. T. Bailey, formerly State Supervisor of Draw- ing, a pupil in the ninth grade of the Lincoln School received the first prize, another a fourth prize and three others were given honorable mention. Teachers and pupils considered this a great honor as several hundred drawings were entered and from many different states. The subject called for in the competition was a decorative arrangement of fruit sprays in conventional color, by no means a simple test.
The usual annual exhibition of school work was held in the different school buildings at the close of the school year, but the weather being partly unfavorable, the attendance was very small, disappointing the teachers who had devoted a great deal of time to the arrangement of the exhibit.
The pupils of Miss Newton's class in the Lincoln School,
312
aided and encouraged by the enthusiasm of their teacher, and by gifts of friends, were enabled to make several valu- able additions to the pictures in their room, which is now one of the most attractive schoolrooms in town.
Two classes in the Franklin school were also interested in a similar way and have made a good beginning toward the decoration of this newer building.
The class which was graduated from the Warren school devoted the proceeds of a garden party to the purchase of a picture for their room, a very large and beautiful photo- graph of a scene in Rome.
Very respectfully yours, ANNIE B. PARKER, Supervisor of Drawing.
Report of the Supervisor of Sewing.
MR. ALFRED C. THOMPSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Dear Sir :- In making this report there is no marked change to record, but a steady interest pervades this depart- ment making the year one of quiet progress.
The course of work is practically the same as outlined in previous reports, modified as occasion, or the abilities of the pupils seem to make it necessary.
There are nearly five hundred pupils who have a share in the instruction of this department and, as has been the case for the past two years, some classes have one lesson each week, while others receive but one in two weeks. If some plan could be arranged for all to receive the same amount of instruction it would be of great advantage.
We aim to maintain a high standard of excellence and
313
endeavor to have our girls realize that only by patient, per- severing efforts are the best results obtained in this as in any other branch of work.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY J. WILSON.
Report of Supervisor of Sloyd.
MR. ALFRED C. THOMPSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Dear Sir :- I ask your consideration of the following, my first report as supervisor of sloyd.
The pupils in this department as I found them in October, showed in their work the excellent training of my predeces- sor, Miss Sarah M. Aldrich.
There are two hundred ten pupils registered in the sloyd department. In addition to the boys of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, there are three High school girls, four ninth grade girls and one girl from the seventh grade. These pupils are divided into twelve classes, each class receiving instruction once a week. It would seem advis- able to make more provision for manual training for High school pupils.
I would suggest the introduction of a few models that would correlate with laboratory work in experimental science.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR W. TRUBEY.
314 Report of Military Instructor.
MR. A. C. THOMPSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
DEAR SIR :- My report as Military Instructor W. H. S., is herewith submitted :
Strength of Battalion, as per roster.

A Co., 3 officers, 5 sergeants, 3 corporals, 32 privates.
B Co., 3 5 66 ،، 3

Total strength, with field, staff and non-commissioned staff, 92.
Last year's work was, I think, as a whole, very satisfac- tory. This year we hope to improve on the work of last year, although handicapped by the changes in the drill regu- lations taking effect since close of school last year. The time given to drill, one period with time deducted for that taken up in forming and marching from school to armory is about thirty minutes, and is not enough to insure the amount of improvement desired for each week. The school committee have purchased, this year, forty new guns to replace those broken and worn out, also provided sufficient new drill regulations for officers and non-coms'. The spirit manifest in the Battalion by all, with the few usual excep- tions, is that of desire and willingness to get all possible benefit out of the time given to this line of study. The system of marking, as in other subjects, is also of great benefit to all concerned. I wish to thank, especially, the Superintendent of Schools and the Principal of the High school, for their personal attention, and the courteous treat- ment accorded me during the year's work, also the School Committee for their willingness in supplying all equipment necessary to the success of the Battalion.
Yours very respectfully, HARVEY G. BROCKBANK, 1st Lieut. and Military Instructor.
315 Report of Truant Officer.
MR. ALFRED C. THOMPSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
My report as Truant Officer for the year ending Jan. 31, 1905, is as follows :
Number of cases investigated 86, of which 18 were cases of truancy, 40 cases of negligence of parents, 11 cases of sickness, and 17 miscellaneous cases.
The Sweetser Charity I have found to be of great benefit to the needy children of the town. Many children the past year have been provided with shoes, rubbers and clothing from this fund.
Office hours are now maintained at the Superintendent of Schools' office where I may be found mornings from 9 to 9.30.
During the year two cases have been taken to court, both boys were committed to the Middlesex County Truant School at North Chelmsford till they attain the age of six- teen years.
I wish to thank you, Mr. Superintendent, and also the teachers for the many courtesies shown me during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
H. A. SIMONDS,
Truant Officer.
