Apart from the Latin books, Webster's Academic Dictionary is the only reference book needed. The pupils hunt up words based upon Latin roots met in the course, apply prefixes and suffixes, and record in note books as many derivatives as possi- ble, classified as to parts of speech and defined. Few Latin words yield less than a half dozen, some as many as fifty or sixty. After finishing the beginners' book, the pupils read selections from Gradatim, Gate to Caesar, The Second Year Latin, The Gallic War, Ovid, Cicero and Vergil, always making word lists as described above. The refining influence of the literature is an important feature.
Acting on a suggestion made by Professor Holmes of the Department of Education of Harvard University, a series of measurements of Latin and non-Latin commercial PUPILS OF EQUAL ABILITY was made by the English Department of the Dorchester High School, to determine the added power in English words acquired by the study of Latin.
The results were as follows:

Number 6 was particular impressive, since the words were more difficult. In this test among the non-Latin pupils the highest mark was 30 per cent, and five zeros were recorded. In the Latin group the lowest mark was 30 per cent, and the highest 100 per cent, with only three below 50 per cent.
Do not pass lightly over the idea of vocational Latin, since it is hoped not only that boys and girls are helped to a greater earning capacity, but that, in the words of Professor Holmes, "a new line of defence for Latin has been struck, which may prove of the utmost importance for the future of the study."
In view of the results of these examinations, it looks as though the study of Latin was practical beyond question. Anything that helps a person spell better and use words and sentences more accurately must beyond peradventure be called practical.
Professor Holmes' remark is significant.
Junior High School
I wish to call your attention to the so-called Junior High School, which is attracting much attention among educators, and those interested in the re-organization of education. The Junior High School is a school composed of the seventh and eighth grades of the grammar schools and the first year of the High School.
The Senior High School consists of the three upper classes of the present High School. In justifying a change from the present organization, Mr. George Wheeler, Associate Superin- tendent of Schools of Philadelphia makes the following observa- tions:
243
"Whether or not a pupil remains in the school past his four- teenth year depends very largely on what is done for him in the seventh and eighth grades. At the very best the period from twelve to fifteen is full of whims and restlessness, and many will drop out of school in spite of our best efforts. Under the present plan the break in his school career comes in the very midst of this critical time. The compulsory attendance law loosens its grip when he completes his elementary course. Given a rest- less boy, a change of schools, and the legal right to leave school, all meeting at the same time, and you have a coincidence that is responsible for much of the tremendous shrinkage in numbers between the eighth and the ninth grade. Postpone the change of schools for a year and you break this dangerous combination. If at the same time we plan the work so as to hold his interest to fifteen, we can probably hold him longer. The mind of the twelve-year-old has a powerful craving for something new and different. Through the junior high school we can do much to meet this perfectly normal desire.
The subjects of study have a broader range, a more practical bearing, and a more vital interest.
This is a favorable time for those who are looking to higher academic training to begin the study of a foreign language. Myths, legends and anecdotes give way to formal history Geography takes a more scientific form. Biology supplants elementary nature study. Elementary physics and chemistry may now be introduced. Drawing takes on more specialized and practical forms. Cooking and other phases of domestic economy for girls and varied types of shopwork for boys give an outlet to their strong desire to do practical things. Physical training, especially adapted to their peculiar needs, can now be given.
It is plain that this varied program cannot be carried on under the one-teacher plan that has prevailed in the first six grades. A modified form of departmental work should be used, not only because the work can thus be done better, but because it is highly desirable to go by easy stages into the full departmental plan of the senior high school. The confusion and bewilder- ment caused by the sudden plunge from the one-teacher regime
-
244
of the elementary school to the departmental plan. of the high school has been responsible for the failure and withdrawal of many of the first-year high school students. The junior high school gives an excellent opportunity to make an easy transition from one plan to the other. There is reason to believe that the junior high school will enable us to do better things and save some money at the same time.
Briefly to summarize, the following are among the advantages of the 6-3-3 plan :
1. It fits the work more closely to the pupil, thus retaining many who formerly dropped out from lack of interest.
2. It shifts to a less dangerous period the change of schools which now occurs just when the compulsory law loses its hold.
3. It provides easy transition from the one-teacher regime to the departmental plan.
4. It provides a definite period in which interests and apti- tudes may be tried out, thus lessening the number of educational misfits in the higher courses."

CLASS SONG
Hildur Linnea Carlson
O happy days, O blessed years, O memories ever sweet, From thee at last we part with tears, We leave thy loved retreat.
O fleeting Past, thy days are gone, Thy golden hours are sped; Thy blessed days so full of song, O whither have they fled?
And now we wait in breathless pause To brave the eternal fight, Girding ourselves for one true cause, Armed with the sword of Right.
Almighty God, our souls enflame With thoughts of Thee and love; We seek not glory, praise, nor fame, But meekness from above.
Give us to know our work to do, With faith our hearts set free, That we may strive with ideals true To serve humanity.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
An examination of all pupils in the grades and of the first year class in the High School was begun November 1 and com- pleted before Christmas. This included an inspection of the throat and teeth, examination for enlarged glands, the noting of discharge from the nose, eruptions on the skin, and occasional noting of anaemia or malnutrition. It did not include an examination of the heart and lungs unless suspicion was directed to those organs. The principal diseased conditions found were enlarged or diseased tonsils and decayed teeth. The former, that is, diseased tonsils, were found much more frequently in the lower grades than in older children. No note was made of the decay of the first teeth unless it was so pronounced as to be likely to effect the health of the child. The six year molars - the first permanent double teeth, were badly decayed in children from eight to ten years old. After about the tenth year a large number of children had lost these entirely and as a consequence fewer decayed teeth were found. Again about the thirteenth year a large number of children showed decay of the twelve- year molar, while in the high school quite a number showed the loss of some of these. The largest number of decayed teeth noted in one room was twenty-two out of forty-four pupils. The largest number of diseased tonsils noted in one room was five. Tonsils were not noted unless enough enlarged to seriously interfere with the throat or else showing marked evidence of disease. Undoubtedly many small cavities in the teeth also escaped detection. Notice was sent to the parents in all cases, using the blanks provided by the State Board. The number of notices sent as a result of the examination by schools was as follows: Hamilton, 41; Hurd, 26; Prospect, 17; Greenwood, 59; Montrose, 13; Franklin, 71; Woodville, 10; Lincoln, 135; Warren, 49; first year high school, 45; or a total of 466. Also a consider- able number of notices have been sent from time to time through- out the year.
252
Regular visits have been made to all schools except the high school practically once a week. At some of the smaller buildings the intervals have been longer, but visits have been made at once when contagious disease was reported in any building and daily visits often made if there seems to be danger of con- tagion.
At the regular visits suspicious cases have been investigated and contagious or parasitic diseases excluded at once. Teachers frequently ask me to verify their tests of sight and hearing and many notices have been sent on this account.
The health of the pupils is on the whole good, and as a rule parents co-operate in our efforts to better the condition of their children physically.
The attention to vaccination reported last year has been continued and children entering school from this or other towns have been examined for scar unless they brought a straight certificate of successful vaccination.
As last year, no treatment has been prescribed, but notice is sent to consult the family physician or regular dentist as the case may be. It is an open question whether this is always the way that gives the best results.
