taught in the Drill regulations, is of great benefit to the stu- dent, having, I think, a very beneficial affect on all his school work, also deportment. The showing made by the Battalion, both at Prize Drill and on Memorial Day, was very pleasing to me, meriting hearty thanks to all con- cerned for their earnest and willing endeavor on both occa- sions. I wish at this time to especially thank Mr. C. H. Howe, Principal W. H. S., for the interest he has taken and the moral help he has been to us in our past year's work.
Yours very respectfully, ·HARVEY G. BROCKBANK, 1st Lieut., Military Instructor.
ATTENDANCE.
The attendance is kept up to a high standard in the dif- ferent schools, and reflects much credit, not only upon the interest of the pupils, but also upon the teachers, principals and truant o fficer for the attention given to the great im- portance of regular attendance at school on the part of the children.
However, in many cases according to the report of the Truant Officer which is given below, parents fail to recognize what the laws of the state demand. In the majority of cases of absence and truancy the fault can be traced to the pa- rents. For their benefit extracts from the laws are given.
Every child between seven and fourteen years of age shall attend some public day school in the city or town in which he resides during the entire time the public day schools are in session, subject to such exceptions as to children, places of attendance, and schools as are provided for in Section 3 of Chapter 42, and Sections 3, 5 and 6 of this Chapter : provided, that teachers acting under authority
398
of said superintendent of schools or school committee may excuse cases of necessary absence .- Sec. 1 of Revised Laws, Chap. 44.
A child between seven and fourteen years of age who wil- fully and habitually absents himself from school contrary to the provisions of Sec. 1 of Chapter 44, shall be deemed to be an habitual truant, and upon complaint by a truant offi- cer and conviction thereof, may, if a boy, be committed to a county truant school for not more than two years, and if a girl, to the state industrial school for girls, unless such child is placed on probation as provided in Sec. 7 of this Chap- ter .- Sec. 3 of Revised Laws, Chap. 46.
Every person having under his control a child between seven and fourteen years of age, shall cause him to attend school as herein required, and if he fails for five days ses- sions or ten half-day sessions within any period of six months while under such control, to cause such child whose physical or mental condition is not such as to render his at- tendance at school harmful or impracticable, so to attend school, he shall, upon complaint by a truant officer, and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine no more than twenty dollars.
Whoever induces or attempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school, or employs or harbors a child who, while school is in session, is absent unlawfully from school, shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars .- Sec. 1 of Revised Laws, Chap. 44.
A child between seven and sixteen years of age who may be found wandering about in the streets or public places of any town or city of the Commonwealth, having no lawful occupation, habitually not attending school, and growing up in idleness and ignorance, upon complaint by a truant offi- cer or any other person, and conviction thereof, may be committed, if a boy, at the discretion of the court, to a
399
county truant school for a period not exceeding two years, or to the Lyman school for boys, and if a girl, to the State industrial school for girls .- Sec. 4, Revised Laws, Chap 46.
The report of Truant Officer is herewith given.
Truant Officer's Report.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, J. H. CARFREY :
DEAR SIR: - I herewith submit my report as Truant Officer for the year ending Jan. 31, 1906 :
Whole namber of cases investigated 127, of which 23 were cases of truancy, 56 cases of negligence of parents, 11 cases of sickness and 37 miscellaneous cases.
Once more I wish to thank the Sweetser Charity for the favorable responses received from my appeals for shoes, rubbers and clothing for needy children.
One case of parents neglecting to send their child to school was taken before the court; this case was placed on file by parents agreeing to place the child in school.
I wish to thank you, Mr. Superintendent, and also the teachers, for many courtesies shown me during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
H. A. SIMONDS,
Truant Officer.
GIFTS TO THE SCHOOLS OF THE TOWN.
The following gifts to our schools have been reported :
We wish to thank the donors in behalf of the schools, and assure them that the School Department and the citizens feel grateful to them for their generosity :
To the High School : "The Lifeboat," by Haquette,
400
"The Gleaners," by Millet, "The Duchess of Devonshire," by Gainsborough, given by Class of 1905.
To the Lincoln School : A portrait of Lincoln from the Woman's Relief Corps. To Grades IV and V, portrait of Van Dyke. Mrs. George Dunbar. Two paintings by Landseer ; mineral cabinet, pupils of the classes. To Grade V, Sir Galahad, from pupils. To Grade V, portrait of Lincoln from Richard Foster, Wakefield.
To H. M. Warren School : History of the Stars and Stripes from Woman's Relief Corps. "Landing of Colum- bus," from Teacher and Class of 7th Grade.
To Greenwood School : "Portrait of Lincoln," "The Angelus," "Washington Crossing the Delaware," from grades five and six, 1905.
To Franklin School : "History of the Stars and Stripes" from Woman's Relief Corps. Portrait of Washington, "The Ford," and "The Red Snapper," from Mrs. E. A. Rich, Yale avenue.
To Montrose ; Six Ivy Plants-Montrose Reading Club.
During the fall term the Franklin School held an Art Ex- hibition in conjunction with the Horace K. Turner Art Loan Association. From this exhibition $63 was realized. With this amount the following pictures have been purchased and hung :
Two Lovers, by E. Munier.
Cat and Kittens at Play, by Wm. Verplank Birney.
The Shepardess, by Jean Francois Millet.
On the Alert, by Rosa Bonheur.
The Bugler, by Wm. Morris Hunt.
The Windmill, by Jacob Van Ruyrdael.
The Wave, by David Jones.
Signing of the Declaration of Independence, by Col. John Trumbull.
This is a good beginning and worth the effort put forth by teachers and pupils. The interest taken by the citizens
401
and patrons of the school in this exhibition was commend- able indeed. May the interest continue, and beautiful school rooms and attractive grounds at this school be thought of as they really are, a necessity.
The pupils and teachers of the Greenwood School recently held a candy sale and realized the sum of $59.55 toward the purchase of a piano. Knowing of their efforts Mrs. Etta Fish Tingley came forward unsolicited and presented her check for the balance necessary to purchase the desired instrument. By-this generous gift the school will be able to secure the piano at once. It is desired in this connection to thank the donor in behalf of the school and the School Committee.
It certainly shows that by the gifts as above mentioned people of the community are much interested in the schools ; that the public school is an institution very close to all, and that nothing is too good to be used in the education of boys and girls for the development of character and the training for citizenship.
It would be a step in the right direction were it made pos- sible to enlarge and beautify our school grounds. It is hoped that Arbor Day may see a beginning of tree planting, and landscape gardening. There is not only the possibility of cultivating the art sense of the pupils in such a step, but there is also a wholesome moral effect. Attractive school- rooms and grounds have their effect upon the homes of the children, just as certainly as the education received from books. A beautiful building with attractive grounds will transform the appearance of the entire surrounding com- munity.
In regard to playgrounds it seems to me they should be arranged and enlarged, so that all will have opportunity for play, at all times of the year. There is certainly no substi- tute for the outdoor recess ; but a playground in cramped quarters is at best a poor place even when dry ; then, to
402
have it muddy after a frost or a slight shower is still worse and no place for pupils to get recreation. I would advise a careful consideration of this matter in connection with some of our large buildings.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
This report will not be complete without recognition of the valuable services rendered the schools by the trustees of the Beebe Town Library. There are so many ways that the public library may aid the teachers and pupils, and our own library is putting forth such an effort to meet the demands that it is a pleasure to give my testimony in behalf of this effort. Reference books on different subjects to be loaned to different buildings during the time the pupil may be studying certain topics is a great help; it would be well were there several duplicates. Money could be expended wisely in securing pictures-copies of the great masters- and others representing various subjects, and loaned to the schools for a given length of time. A children's room with a graded list of books with several duplicates would add to the efficiency of the library ; this would supplement the reading course in the schools. A teacher's pedagogical library, well selected, would be exceedingly helpful. A full and complete list of reference books on History and Litera- ture-English, French and German-would aid the work in the High School and be generally useful to the citizens. I am fully aware that whatever the demands the Trustees will be only too glad to do all their income will allow.
CONCLUSION.
In closing I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the confidence and hearty support of the Committee, for the cordial co-operation of the teachers and for the help and encouragement received from the community.
Respectfully submitted,
Feb. 5, 1906.
