The record for tardiness for the last five years is as follows ; 1905-6, 1.46 cases of tardiness per pupil; 1906-7, 1.77 cases ; 1907-8, 1.59 cases; 1908-9, 1.12 cases ; 1909-10, 1 23 cases. I cannot help thinking that this record is needlessly high. Neither do I feel that an apology is called for when I urge that greater attention be given this homely virtue of punctuality by High School pupils. There are, of course, occasions when tardiness is unavoidable and in every way excusable. Concerning these I have nothing to say ; but it is the needless cases about which I am concerned. Most of these can be traced to the tendency, too widely prevailing, to leave little or no margin for accidents, variations in clocks, etc. Snowy or icy sidewalks, or a heavy rain storm almost inevitably bring their crop of tardy marks. Forethought seems hardly to have a place among the possessions. of the youth of today. I ask for the cooperation of parents in our efforts to correct this failing.

WORK OF THE SCHOOL
Although the school year was somewhat broken by the enforced vacation due to the epidemic of small pox, on the whole the year's work was satisfactory. An unusual number of pupils tried examinations for entrance to college, the results of which indi- cated successful work on the part of the various departments. Something over ninety percent of the examinations taken in June were successfully passed and those failed at that time were finally passed this fall.
DRAWING
I desire to renew my recommendation of the last two or three years that more time be allotted to the subject of drawing. Pupils from this school entering technical schools find themselves in competition with those who have studied drawing four times weekly, with periods fifty-five minutes in length.
Our pupils study the subject once a week for forty-three minutes. Drawing instruction is much sought here and as a consequence the entire time allotted to the teacher is given up to teaching, one class following close upon another. All prepara- tion and distribution of drawing materials and boards must, there- fore, be taken out of the single period assigned each class, When the time occupied in reaching the room from the last recitation and in putting out drawing material at the beginning of the period and in collecting it again at the end has been deducted, not more than thirty minutes of the period is left for actual drawing. If it is not feasible to increase the time allotment to four periods weekly in the form of two double periods, the efficiency of the work could be more than doubled if each period as now offered could be made of double length. This would require the services of the drawing teacher four days in the week.
GERMAN
Since the introduction of German into the course, several years. ago, it has been confined to the last two years of the course. French, meanwhile has been offered three years, being a compul- sory subject except for pupils beginning Greek. As a subject for-
205
entrance to college, German stands on a par with French and there is no reason why pupils who desire to enter college on max- imum German should not be allowed to do so. It seems to me, therefore, that German should be a three year subject as well as French
MUSIC
The conditions under which the subject of Music is carried on are far from satisfactory. In the first place the building has no room large enough to accommodate the larger of the two choruses into which the school has been divided. It has been found neces- sary to divide the second year class, allowing each half to sing each alternate week with the senior and junior classes. Further, the larger chorus crowds uncomfortably the room assigned to its use. Considering the adverse conditions under which the work is done it is, and has been for a long time, a source of wonder to me that Mr. Wilson has been able to achieve such success with the chorus. However, whenever suggestions for enlarging still further and strengthening the music work, have been made, the conditions forbid any consideration of the subject.
PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
A very commendable interest has been shown in these subjects by those electing them. This interest has been fostered by the attempt to connect the class room work with the living interests of the pupils.
ENGLISH
In this subject a serious effort has been made to co-ordinate the work with the work of other departments. Much attention has been given to English grammar and also to spelling. It is a question whether it is not best to refuse credit for written work in which is any considerable number of misspelled words. Oral English is also receiving attention.
206
THRIFT
By a law passed last year, the teaching of thrift in school is- now required. In the early fall, a representative of the Savings Bank Life Insurance League addressed a meeting of the senior and junior classes upon Savings Bank Life Insurance. It has occurred to me that it would be a wise move to secure the services of a representative of the Cooperative Bank to describe the modus operandi of these institutions. I can think of no better way to encourage thrift than allowing an accredited agent of the local Cooperative Bank to receive at the school building the monthly dues of those pupils holding shares.
BOTANY
An attempt has been made in a small way to correlate this subject with home life. If the time now given to this subject as taught from the text book could be given to elementary work in agriculture or market gardening, it would be to the advantage of the children.
A few weeks ago forty-eight pupils were asked if their parents had fruit or vegetable gardens Of the forty-eight, twenty-eight. answered "Yes" and twenty "No." An estimate was made of the value of the fruit and produce raised in these gardens and it was found that it amounted to almost exactly a thousand dollars. For the entire town at the same ratio between thirty and forty thousand dollars would be the value of the fruit and produce raised in the numerous home gardens of the town. . In view of these efforts to add to the family income it would seem worth while to make these gardens more profitable still, by means of a study of soils, of the kinds of produce best suited to each, and of he proper methods of raising and caring for the various products.
I believe that some modification of the course in botany is called for, looking toward the introduction of something more practical and everyday. When this is done, the boys, who now are far from interested will become, I venture to say, enthusias- ic over the subject.

RESORT TO HIGH SCHOOL
Below is a table which will be of interest to the people of Wakefield. The table includes the enrolment in June, 1910, of practically all the High Schools in Massachusetts in towns between 8,000 and 16,000 of population, together with that of a few cities, nearest to Wakefield, like Everett and Malden, and four or five in other portions of the country. It also includes the population of the same places according to the census of 1910 and the num- ber of pupils for each thousand of population, in High School. It will be noted that Wakefield is second in the list with 31.6 pupils in the High School out of every thousand of its population, being surpassed by Melrose only, with the phenomenal number of thirty-seven.

PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATES
Another interesting table is found on page 209, showing the per- centage of the entire enrolment that graduated. If all the four classes in school were of equal size and graduated the full number with which they entered, the percentage graduating would be 25% of the entire number - a perfect record. From the table it will be seen that five cities named in the table surpass Wakefield, viz., Chelsea, Brockton, Haverhill, Taunton and Manchester,N.H. For the data, other than the percentages in the table, which are my own, I am indebted to the Journal of Education.

CLASS SONG
FRANCES LEVERTON HOLMES
As slowly sinks the sun In the far, golden west Our high school days are done, Partings draw nigh Tho' oft' there clouds have been We oft' the blue have seen, Now only fair hopes gleam In the clear sky.
When the bright morn appears We a new life begin, Amid our hopes and fears To stand or fall. Then we must take our way Out o'er the world to stray, All willing to obey Duty's stern call ..
Tho' there may troubles be, Tho' some dark day may fall, Which we cannot foresee, Our faith to prove, We surely shall succeed Trusting in time of need, In Him, our strength indeed, Who dwells above.

The board considers that the health of the Town is generally good.
The small pox epidemic early in the year was very largely re- sponsible for our unusual expenses, but we think the Town will believe that it emerged from the difficulty very satisfactorily.
The Board are still of the opinion that the Town should pro- vide means for the collection and disposal of swill, and would recommend that an appropriation be made for the purpose at the next annual town meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH W. HEATH, M. D., Chairman, DAVID TAGGART, Health Officer, AUGUSTUS D. JENKINS, Secretary.
