I take it that this means the elimination of marking time. Our practice of allowing Seniors in the Commercial Department to go to work in the spring as soon as ready is in line with this idea. If a pupil can get ready for college in three years; i. e. if he is capable of doing ordinary four years' work in three, it ought to be arranged .so that he can take advantage of his ability.
(6) There should be Science courses and courses in Civics and the practical arts. The course of study should be rich in the subjects that have long been traditional; it should be rich in new courses.
The significant feature about the above statement lies in the fact that the old-fashioned subjects are not thrown overboard, but that new subjects are added.
I think that if the above were to be attempted, we should soon find that our accommodations would be prohibitive of any expansion. Of the above items, the fulfillment of Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 6 depends direct- ly upon enlarged accommodations, not only of building but of grounds as well.
Supervised Study
The fourth item in the above, I should like to call to your im- mediate attention at somewhat greater length.
There is always more or less discussion concerning the desira- bility of home study. It is undoubtedly true that much of the time spent on home study (so called) is wasted. Our youth has not been taught to study. There has been precious little opportunity to teach him. The primary object of supervised study is to train pupils in proper habits of study. Hopeful experiments in this direction are being attempted in various parts of the country. Those in Everett (Washington) and Houghton (Michigan) High Schools are notable efforts and bid fair to make a valuable contribution to contemporary experience in school administration.
Principal Erickson of Houghton says :- "Our plan, briefly stated, is that we divide the day into five periods of eighty minutes each. Each period is divided into two parts, the first forty minutes being devoted to the recitation and the remainder to study under the direction of the teacher. The length of the school day is from 8.00 A. M. to 12.00 M. and from 1.30 P. M. to 4.10 P. M. We do not pretend to do away with home study but we try to reduce it to a mini- mum.
The advantages of supervised study are numerous. It is al- most generally conceded that high-school students do not know how to study to advantage. This is not because the grade teacher has not tried to teach them, but because she has not had an opportunity to see that her instructions were carried out. Neither is it because the high school teacher has neglected that phase, but because the studying
115
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
has always been done in her absence. Under the old plan of assembly study periods, one teacher was in charge of 150 pupils, so that if she maintained good order that was practically all that could be expected of her. She could not devote her entire time to helping pupils, and even if she could, she would not be capable of giving advice in a dozen different subjects. Under the supervised plan, each teacher has her class of about twenty studying the same subject, in which she is an expert. In the smaller room with a few students there is less to distract the mind of the shiftless boy, and he will do something simply because everybody else is doing it.
The logical place for the study period is after the recitation. Under the old system the studying was done just before the recitation and was nothing more than cramming. Now the lesson is prepared twenty-four hours before it is recited."
· In speaking of the relative merits of home study and supervised study, Mr. Roberts of the Everett (Washington) High School in an article in the School Review for December 1916, writes :- "We came to feel that a considerable share of the home study was likewise inef- fective and futile. By letters to the parents and patrons, by special tests, by supplication and adjuration, efforts to secure the two hours of home study necessary for strong work were made, but in vain. As teachers, we realized that the finest intellectual atmosphere existed in many homes, but for the most part, home study was ineffective. In many cases, poor light, family conversation, the performance of home duties, the ebb and flow of the family life effectually cut off the student from quiet, effective study. Again, the pupil was caught by some diffi- culty, father and mother could not help; and after considerable flound- ering about, the time was wasted and nothing done. In many other cases the pupils were out of the home every night and no effective study resulted.
"With this feeling, therefore, of helplessness in the face of poor lesson preparation, we approached the problem of reorganization with these broad purposes before us: to render our work more valuable by improving the quality of instruction and by improving the quality of material covered; to bring the pupil and teacher together in another and more helpful relation; to make of the recitation hour something more vital than a quizzing and testing time; to demonstrate that in our work the teacher had not become an automatic recitation-receiving device and a machine lesson-assigning apparatus; and, summing it all up, to secure vivid, lasting, and solid results by securing purposeful, directed, economical study.
"In order to secure the proper amount of supervised study it was necessary to lengthen the school day from four hours and fifty-five minutes to six hours and forty-five minutes. This meant a continuous session from 9.00 A. M. to 3.45 P. M., with a forty-five minute lunch period at noon. While the day seems long, it disposes of the grave

question involving the economical use of an expensive school plant that was occupied less than five hours per day."
What is the attitude of parents to this arrangement? Princi- pal Roberts testifies-"On the whole, parents approve of the plan, since they realize the advantages of study with more favorable sur- roundings for study than the home afforded. Two criticisms of parents have reached me : one that the double-period plan made it more difficult to keep the children at home evenings, for they no longer had so many lessons to prepare, and the other that this plan permitted the parents to take the children with them to their places of social recre- ation without a sense of sinning against their children's future welfare by taking them from their studies. Aside from the longer day, a large proportion of the students offer hearty approval of the plan, and the reasons most often assigned are the privileges of efficient help, saving time, more time for outside activities, better grades earned, etc. "The double-period plan certainly calls the bluff of the bright ras- cal who has been giving about ten minutes daily to each lesson, and pas- sing. Having nothing else to do, he studies throughout the period and does excellent work in spite of himself."
Were it possible for us to find the time, it would be well, I be- lieve, to make a trial of this plan in the first year class for a year or two and then introduce it throughout the entire school. However, any possible action is out of the question at present owing to the im- possibility of lengthening our school day.
Other Recommendations
The first item in the above letter has been discussed somewhat at length in past reports, especially that referring to Athletic activi- ties. I would like to call again to your attention the advisability of employing some suitable person to direct all the play-ground activities of the schools of the town. The second item has been referred to in the preceding paragraph on "Supervised Study." With such a school day in force, as suggested there, there would be much greater likelihood of a proper organization of pupils' time and consequent reduction of waste.
-
The last item also covering introduction of Science Courses and Courses in Civics and Practical Arts has been canvassed in previous reports and courses in household arts, manual training, and market gardening, outlined.
:
Final Conclusion
In reply to the question as to what more is needed to make the High School better, the briefest answer that I can give is
(a) More time,
(b) More room.
Meet these needs and the way opens for growth and improve- ment. Fail to meet them and the school will mark time.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
During the past year a flourishing Parent-Teachers' Association has been formed. Monthly meetings have been held at which both formal and informal talks have been given on topics connected with the intimate life of the school. On one evening, a demonstration of school work was given to the public during which regular classes were in session. The possibilities for good of such an organization are large.
MASSACHUSETTS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
During the year an association for control of interscholastic Ath- Jetics was formed under the name of the Massachusetts High School Athletic Association. One hundred and ten schools of the Common- wealth have joined, of which number Wakefield is one. The governing body of the Association is known as the Executive Board, and con- sists of three principals of schools belonging to the Association. Among the rules governing eligibility for participation in interschool contests are the following which I commend to your attention.
Section 1. A pupil shall have been a member of some Secondary School for the three months next preceding the contest, unless entering directly from an elementary school.
Section 2. In case a pupil enters one Secondary School from an- other during the school year, he shall be allowed to represent the lat- ter school only in case his previous record conforms to these eligibility rules and his family has changed its residence to the town or city in which the new school is located.
Section 3. (a) A pupil shall maintain, from the beginning of the school year up to the end of the week preceding the contest, a passing grade in at least three-sixteenths of the work required for a diploma.
(b) A pupil shall also have maintained a passing grade in the same amount of work for the semester or half year immediately pre- ceding.
ATHLETICS
Athletic activities of our school cover the following fields: Cross- country, track, (indoor and outdoor), hockey, and baseball (both Fall and Spring). Much wider interest in athletics is being shown than for several years past. The effort to enlarge the number of partici- pants in sports is worthy of commendation. The cross-country team succeeded for the second year in winning the championship of New England, running at Worcester Academy and also in making a very commendable showing at Cornell University, competing with many of the best teams of the country.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE CERTIFICATE BOARD, ETC.
Beginning with the year 1919, no certificates for entrance will be accepted by Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Wellesley, and Vassar Colleges. All candidates for entrance will be required to take four comprehen- sive examinations. The results of these examinations together with the school record will determine entrance.
The right to certificate graduates into college has been ex- tended for an additional three years by the Worcester Polytechnic In- stitute and Dartmouth College.
MISCELLANEOUS
Voluntary Gymnastics work under direction of Miss Carroll is given four or five periods per week to the freshman girls. The front hall is utilized for this work.
A debating society, composed of Freshman girls, meets Tuesdays for an hour before school opens. Much interest is being taken in the club.
"How to Study and What to Study" by Sandwick is the title of a little book recommended for the use of all the pupils in school.
The members of the school contributed nearly $40 toward the purchase of the library site on the corner of Main and Avon streets.
The efforts of the English Department to influence the reading of the youth of the town is not altogether without avail. For two years, just before Christmas, a list of books worth while for young people to own has been published in the local paper. A poll of the English classes a few weeks ago showed that two-thirds of 129 pupils represented had received books as Christmas presents. The books re- ceived were of unquestioned excellence, including volumes of poems and sets of Shakespeare's works.

Louise Emeline Sheldon
Now four short, fleeting years are past, We've loved them, every one; Those ties must break which bind us fast Our high school days are done.
Oh, shall these years be e'er forgot As through life's maze we roam? We'll treasure them, whate'er our lot, Where'er we make our home.
The happy years of joyous youth By fortune's hands are blessed; Each day reminds us of the truth, Our school days are the best.
O God of Love and Tenderness, Watch o'er us as we go; Protect our steps, illume our path, And guard us here below.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
In my report one year ago, attention was called to the fact that the more severe contagious diseases, Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever, had not been spread by the schools, or so far as known a single case contracted in school. This year I am happy to be able to make the same report. There have been very few cases in town and none of them traceable to the schools. As regard Infantile Paralysis, so little is known as to the method of contagion that no definite statement can be made, but on the evidence in hand it would seem that we who con- tinued our schools in session escaped as well as those where school was suspended.
We have had very few cases of the milder contagious diseases so called, viz. measles, chicken pox, whooping cough and mumps, largely in consequence of the epedemic of 1915 which reached most of the susceptible children. No large number of measles should be expected for several years. Tuberculosis is rarely present in children of school age in Wakefield except that some few cases of enlarged glands may be tubercular. Small pox has not been present.
About the usual number of notices have been sent to parents in regard to the health of their children. Strange as it may seem, a very large number of these are entirely disregarded, though more attention is paid to them than there was two or three years ago.
The school nurse has been of great assistance in following up these notices and persuading the parents to secure proper medical attention.
The dentists of the town have examined the teeth of the children from the first to the sixth grade. The school physician has examined in the upper grades and the first year class of the High School and notice sent where needed. Parents as a class are not inclined to have dental work done on the first or temporary teeth, though the child's mouth may be a mass of infection. Further education along. that line is needed.
Principals and teachers have given us all co-operation and assis- tance without which the work is incomplete. The school nurse has been of great assistance during the time she has been employed.
