We are soon to begin a course in landscape drawing, which, it is hoped, will readily correlate with the study of geogra- phy and language, and of even greater importance, stimulate the æsthetic faculties of the children. Æsthetic culture owes its educational importance to the fact that it greatly widens and elevates the child's sources of happiness. Art has a place of pre-eminence as an instrument of æsthetic culture. It has been pointed out by writers on education that æsthetic culture is a valuable aid to moral culture, that a child who can calmly contemplate and admire a beautiful object is the better prepared for appreciating human actions on their moral side.
Trusting that our work duri: g the coming year may be in advance of what we have done this year, I am,
Very sincerely, MAUDE E. BLACK, . Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF SEWING.
MR. J. H. CARFREY, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir: - During the past year no great changes have taken place in the Sewing Department. The work moves on very satisfactorily, and the pupils show interest and willingness in their work.
The results of this work cannot be told with words, but that these results are appreciated and understood in the home is shown by the readiness with which materials are supplied by the parents.
All materials for practice work are supplied by the town, but when garments are made each pupil is expected to fur- nish her own material.
We feel that sewing should be a part of every girl's educa- tion, not only because it is a useful and practical art, but because in this way skill and attention to detail is acquired and a love of industry may be taught which will cause the
262
girls to make the most of their environment and increase their power of helpfulness.
Each year the number of pupils has increased, and this past year has been no exception. This means more time given to the work, but also means that more homes will feel the usefulness and helpfulness that should come from this branch of school work.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY J. WILSON, Supervisor of Sewing.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MANUAL TRAINING.
MR. J. H. CARFREY, Supt. of Schools :
There are registered in this department some two hundred twenty-five pupils, about twenty-five less than last year.
This year, a new set of models wasdesigned for each of the three grades, and every fourth model in the series was left to the individual pupil to originate. This when finished, he has been allowed to take home at once, if he so desired. The good workmanship, interest and enthusiasm nearly doubles that of last year.
Already much has been accomplished towards the high standard we hope to attain in this department.
Respectfully submitted, SUSIE LYMAN RYAN,
Supervisor of Manual Training.

REPORT OF MILITARY INSTRUCTOR.
MR. J. H. CARFREY, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir,-Please accept my report as Military Instructor, Wakefield High school battalion, of two companies.

I trust that, at the annual prize drill of the battalion, the benefits accruing from the extra time granted this branch of the High school work this year, will be so plainly apparent that there can be no reason for regretting the change. That the time spent in drill is not thrown away is proven by the fact that two of the companies in this year's Technology battalion are captained by former Wakefield High school cadet officers.
To the School committee, Superintendent of schools and Mr. Charles H. Howe, Principal Wakefield High school, are due my thanks as well as that of every member of the bat- talion for their kind consideration and attendance to every- thing necessary to make our work successful.
Respectfully submitted,
HARVEY G. BROCKBANK,
Ist Lieut., Military Instructor.
REPORT OF THE TRUANT OFFICER.
Superintendent of Schools, J. H. CARFREY :
Dear Sir,- My ninth annual report as Truant Officer of the Town of Wakefield for the year ending January 31, 1908, is herewith submitted.
I investigated during the year 157 complaints, 35 of said
264
number were truancy, the balance were absent for sickness, negligence of parents, want of shoes, etc.
Two cases of truancy were taken before the Court during the year, also the parents of two children who neglected to send their children to school regularly ; the above cases were placed on file.
I wish to thank Mrs. Sarah A. Cutler, Treasurer of the Sweetser Charity, for the past favors in providing shoes for needy children.
I wish also to thank you, Mr. Superintendent, and the many teachers, for courtesies shown me during the past year.
Yours respectfully,
H. A. SIMONDS,
Truant Officer.
GIFTS.
The following are some of the gifts which have been donated to the schools during the past year. To all the donors we wish to publicly extend our thanks for their thoughtful con- sideration of the schools. There are also included below, pictures which have been purchased by funds secured from stereopticon entertainments. These entertainments were given by the Franklin and Greenwood schools, and a consid- erable sum in each instance was raised for the purpose. Gifts to the High School are mentioned in the Principal's report. Lincoln : "The Origin and History of the Stars and Stripes" given by the H. M. Warren Relief Corp.
Hoffman's "Christ among the Doctors," given by pupils of the fifth grade, class 1907-8 - Miss Jessie Dyer, teacher.
Murillo's "Children of the Shell," given by the children of grades four and five - Miss Isabel M. Elliott, teacher.
Franklin : The following pictures were secured with the funds obtained from the entertainment above referred to : A Scratch Pack, by C. B. Barber; Out for a Sail, Walden ;
265
Two Mothers, Gardner ; Can't you Talk ? Holmes ; Meadow Pool, Pearce ; Matterhorne ; Shepherd and Flock, Bonheur ; Concord Bridge.
BEAUTIFYING SCHOOL GROUNDS.
The work of beautifying school grounds, begun by the Kosmos Club at the Warren School, is worthy of mention here. The children of the school have appreciated it as is shown by their care for the same. The general public ap- preciate it by refraining from passing through the grounds promiscuously. During the past year, the Club has done some landscape gardening at the F. P. Hurd School. Also were responsible for planting climbing ivy at the Franklin building. The pupils and the general public have been very careful of them in both instances, and another summer will show an increased and noticeable beauty about these two buildings. One of the rooms at the Franklin School planted a tree on the grounds, in which they have taken a decided in- terest. Much can be done for beautifying the school grounds and in every case I am sure the pupils will show their appre- ciation as they have in the instances quoted. To the Kosmos Club, is due our hearty and sincere appreciation for what has been done. We hope it will continue and be taken up by the town itself. The children and people alike will see to it that everything is rightly protected.
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Superintendent, teachers and pupils keenly appreciate the efforts of the Library Trustees to furnish books, maga- zines and pictures for the continued use of all. We only wish there were more funds at their disposal, as there are many books of reference, magazines, views, and the like, which would be a great benefit to the schools were they avail- able for use. The public library and the public schools are so closely allied, the former so supplemental in its work to
266
the schools, that they are almost inseparable. We hope for an extended use of our library.
In closing this report I wish to record my appreciation of the general hearty spirit of cooperation which has shown itself in all connected with the schools.
Respectfully submitted, J. H. CARFREY,
Superintendent of Schools.
