If such a course or one similar were to be introduced into the High School of Wakefield, one or two modifications might seem desirable.
Although Professor Stone of the Massachusetts Agricultural College maintains with some force that there is more reason and
239
need for teaching Agriculture in city schools (for the children know nothing at all about the subject ) than in those of the coun- try, I cannot quite bring myself to that opinion. However, for the school children of a town situated as Wakefield is, near a big city and with much vacant land, it would seem to me wise to sub- stitute for Agriculture in the above course the subjects of Botany, Gardening, and Poultry Raising. We have at our very door a vast supply of potential wealth. Why not make it actual? The following quotations from the Public Ledger of Philadelphia does not seem out of place :
" At the annual convention of the American Health Association the experts sounded a few alarms that should have effect both upon the individual and upon the nation. For instance, Doctor Sedgwick, professor of public health in the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, declared that if America would avoid famine she must begin at once, scientifically and systematically, to con_ serve her food supply.
" This warning is not new, but coming with such earnestness from such men it has a new meaning. Experts and economists have been declaring for a full half century that the tragedy of the United States would synchronize with the period when it was obliged to economize. It has been cutting heedlessly, killing heedlessly, eating heedlessly, wasting heedlessly, and now the period has come when the taking care of tomorrow must begin
'. The thousands who recently have been in distant nooks and corners, or at the resorts during the recent summer, have had object lessons that must make them think. In most instances the food did not come from the neighborhood in which they were stopping. Generally they ate canned food, when the surround- ing land should have been furnishing fresh fruits and vegeta- bles."
Shall the citizens of Wakefield be wise and conserve their food supply ?
RESULTS
In these days when " efficiency " is the watchword of almost every commercial or manufacturing concern, it would not be strange if attempts were made to determine the efficiency of the schools. Some years ago, before the day of the modern efficiency
240
engineer, President Tucker said to the Alumni of Dartmouth Col- lege that it was impossible to estimate the effectiveness of the college as it is, but that its effectiveness as it was twenty years ago can be determined by the success in life of the students of that day. However, earnest efforts are being made to discover measurements of efficiency for both school and college, and, in a discussion of the need of such measurements, President Lowell spoke a month or two ago to the following effect :
"Another reason why actual educational results in America are peculiarly needed is that while professing a stern faith in educa- tion, we are adverse to severe discipline, and have an almost mor- bid dread of sacrificing bodily health to any possible mental train- ing. This is a matter which it seems to me it is important to emphasize. because I notice that the last thing in education that is deemed of fu damental importance is the men al development of the student. The first thing is, particularly of children, that they shall not study too hard. I have said this to a gathering of med- ical mer, and, therefore, I have a right to say it elsewhere. The medical profession all over the country is trying to prevent chil- dren beginning an education until the time has passed when the foundation of all education ought to be laid. In other words, they are always telling parents, ' Do not have your child take anything too young ' I remember one physician saying to me that it would be better if no child ever went to school, or was taught anything, until he was between the ages of ten and six- teen ; that he would probably learn all that children now I arn up to the age of ten. We all know that probably more is acquired by a child before he is ten than in all the years that ever follow. We are certainly in this country morbidly afraid of education. We are morbidly afraid of putting children or young people to any severe effort. The policy of the Old World is to set them all running, and shoot those that fall to the rear. That is true in all their education. There is a continual lopping off, lopping off, and the man who cannot get to this point is denied entrance to the higher walks of life. They may carry it a great deal too far in other countries, but I think we carry it too far in the opposite direc- tion. The result is there is a general tendency to ease up, case up, and we see it in all directions. We see it in the boys that
241
that come up to college at nineteen years old for the education that they ought to have, perfectly easy, at sixteen. We see it all along the line. Therefore it is that we ought to be particularly careful in measuring our results and in seeing that the results we reach are really what they should be."
FIRE DRILL
Fire drills have been held frequently during the fall months. The building has been emptied completely in one minute and twenty seconds from the time the alarm began to sound. No effort is made to keep the pupils in lines when passing out, but emphasis is put upon gool order, meaning self-control, even when moving expeditiously towards the exits. Silence, both in exit from the building and in the return, is required. A group of senior boys has been appointed to open the outside doors, to pass through the basements announcing the fire drill to any who may be there, and to re-enter the building under the charge of the submaster to do anything necessity demands. The order- liness of the drill has been unusual. Constant effort is being made to render the drill more effective, and suggestions from teachers, pupils, school officials or townspeople will be welcomed.

CLASS SONG
EMILY HALL PRESTON
For four years we've been nearing The great world's fast-closed gate, Deep-filled with hope and longing, Eager to try our fate. And now we've reached the threshold, With beating hearts we knock. And lo ! while still the echo rings, We see the gates unlock !
The world so full of pleasure, Of sorrow, too, and care. Throws wide her gates in welcome, That we her life may share ; We cannot see our future, Except in vision bright, But Oh ! we long to conquer, To prove our will and might.
May we be firm of purpose, And may that purpose be To live the best that's in us, To work right mightily. May we be men and women Throughout our span of life ; Oh ! may we never falter, Though weary be the strife.

Report of the School Physician
For the year 1913 our schools have been very free from conta- gious diseases of the serious type. A few scattered cases of dip- theria and scarlet fever and a small, though serious, outbreak of infantile paralysis have occurred. The method of contagion of the latter disease is not well established, but strict quarantine measures were taken and the spread of the disease promptly stopped. With diptheria and scarlet fever only sporadic cases have occurred. The milder contagious diseases, so called, viz. : whooping cough, measles, chicken pox, and mumps continue to spread at will through the schools, though the regulations of the Board of Health are strictly followed and all suspected cases excluded. The fact remains that the diseases are "catching" so long before a diagnosis is possible that they are spread broad- cast before it is at all certain that they are present. Unless we take extremely advanced ground and exclude all children showing symptoms of a "cold," or who have any cough. measles and whooping cough will continue to be spread in school and such an excluson would at times take half the class. Whether it might not be better for all concerned to do that is a question for the future. The possibility of small pox gaining a foothold in our schools is too remote to be considered while vaccination is as carefully insisted upon as it is at present.
The Statutes provide that the teachers shall test the sight and hearing of pupils annually in a prescribed way. In our schools it is very carefully done. The School Physician has tried to be of assistance, particularly in following up those cases in which the parents disregard the notice from the teachers. The indifference of some parents to such notices is at first thought unfathomable, but a careful inspection of the home will usually disclose a mother overworked, a father away most of the time, and perhaps pov- erty. Still there are no inconsiderable number who, from sheer shiftlessness, pay no attention to the recognized needs of their children. The cost of glasses is deterrent in no small number of
247
cases. I hope to live to see the time when a town shall be under the same obligation to furnish glasses as they are to furnish text- books, for of the two the glasses are often the more needed.
School inspection has, as last year, consisted in practically weekly visits to all buildings, careful inspection of heating aud plumbing and examination of children showing signs of illness or deficiency. Many children have been sent home on account of slight sore throat or evidence of illness and many more from con- tagious or parasitic skin disease. The latter are excluded from school until cured. A large number of children have been ex- amined for enlarged tonsils and, if present, notice has been sent to parents. A few cases of tubercular adenitis have been discov- ered, but our schools are practically free from tuberculous chil- dren. As noted earlier, not a considerable number of parents disregard such notices. Most of the work is done in the lower grades. As noted one year ago, all treatment is referred to the regular family physician. As a whole, we are to be congratu- lated that the health of our school children has been so good.
