MANUAL TRAINING
Our shop work consists of woodwork and printing. Of course it is understood that our aim is instruction rather than quality of production, or even production. We, however, combine the two and make the work as practical as possible. The work in the seventh and eighth grades is
158
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
largely given to learning the use of tools and their practical use, to learn- ing different joints, and how to use them, and to learning different kinds of wood, and the uses of each. Practical uses are made of each lesson by applying the knowledge to the work which they do for themselves or for their schools. Our aim in the High School s to give the boys a chance to see if they are inclined to this kind of work by giving them various problems to work out; problems which involve both hand and machine work. It is not our idea to furnish vocational training. Below is a partial list of the work done by the boys:

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
SCHOOL BANKS
As one of the means for teaching thrift many of the schools con- duct school banks. The results depend largely upon the interest which the principal takes and the amount of work he is willing to put into it. There ought to be some way in which we can accomplish the same re- sults and at the same time reduce the amount of work required. We have had conferences with the Treasurer of the Savings Bank, looking to- wards this end.
Below you will find a tabulation of the deposits and savings for this year, together with a summary of the total for the period during which the schools have done this kind of work. We are failing in that this work does not carry through the High School. There should be some way devised whereby we could ascertain whether or not we have put across the habit of saving by having a check to find out whether the habit is firmly enough established so that the graduates have acquired the habit of systematic saving.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
SPECIAL CLASSES
We have established two opportunity classes, one in the Lafayette Building and one in the Franklin School. We gave tests to those who apparently might profit by such a class, and then sent an invitation to the parents, telling them of the opportunity available, with the sugges- tion that if they wanted to take advantage of this they should send in their request by a certain date. We had more requests than we could accomodate, so we selected according to the date of the receipt of the re- quests.
The pupils seem to be happy in their new surroundings, for they are given work which meets their ability and needs. Next year we shall probably have to establish another class of the same kind.
ADMISSION TO GRADE I
Last year we tried the experiment of admitting to the first grade a few children who were under school age but who showed by examination that they had a mental age equal to that required by regulations. The experiment proved successful, and made is seem advisable to continue it. Last fall we examined all who applied for entrance, but were under school age. We had 70 applicants as a result of the notices of the pro- posed examinations. Of these only 29 were able to pass; 28 entered school; 1 moved out of town; 1 left school; this leaves 26 now in school. The following shows the quality of work the 26 are diong:
9 are in the A Division 11 are in the B Division
5 are in the C Division
1 is in the D Division
Three of the five in the C Division have been absent a great deal which would seem to indicate that if they had been regular in attendance they would certainly be in one of the higher divisions.
By Law all children seven years old must be in some school or re- ceiving instruction which meets with the approval of the School Com- mittee, but we admit children if they are five years old on or before April first preceding the opening of school in the fall; or if they can pass a test showing they have a mental age equal to the youngest which we regularly admit. Our heaviest mortality comes in the first grade, in- dicating that probably many children are too immature mentally when they enter school.
We are of the opinion that next year we should try this test on a much larger number of children before admitting them to the first grade.

TESTING
We have done very little with measurement testing. This Septem- ber we transferred one of our teachers, who has been making a special study of this, to take charge of all the testing for the Department. At the present time she is testing those pupils who appear to need special help and attention, and those who are not finding enough to do, and therefore should apparently be placed in a higher grade. Before the school year is over we shall have a record of every pupil showing his intelligence quotient, his educational quotient, and the correlation between these two to find whether the pupil is doing the work that we ought to expect of him, or whether he is actually doing more than we might expect even though he is not doing high grade work.
The tester has given 95 tests to ascertain who might profit by in- struction in the special classes. 34 of the 95 were given an opportunity to attend the classes.
USE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Committee is anxious to have the school buildings used to their fullest extent, consistent with the authority granted by statute, and pro- vided the use does not interfere with any of the school activities. Only a nominal charge is made to cover the expenses involved. We have voted to allow the use of any auditorium by any reputable organization for such educational, recreational, social, civic, or philanthropic, and the like purposes as we deem for the interest of the community.
We have received the following opinions from the Town Counsel : The first two are written, the third is oral.
"1-To what extent may the Committee permit the use of school auditoriums for other than school purposes ?
2-Have the persons using the auditoriums a right to charge admis- sion?
3-Has the School Committee a right to charge for the use of the auditoriums ?
Answering inquiry 1. General Laws, Chapter 71, Section 71, is as follows: 'For the purpose of promoting the usefulness of public school property the School Committee of any town may conduct such educational and recreational activities in or upon school property under its control, and subject to such regulations as it may establish, and consistently and
163
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
without interference with the use of the premises for school purposes, shall allow the use thereof by individuals and associations for such edu- cational, recreational, social, civic, philanthropic, and the like purposes as it deems for the interest of the community. This section shall not apply to Boston.' , The above section, is amended by Chapter 50 of the Acts of 1923 by adding 'The use of such property as a piace of assem- blage for citizens to hear candidates for public office shall be considered a civic purpose within the meaning of this section.'
These quotations answer your first inquiry.
2-If the use made is within those enumerated above I am of the opinion that an admission could be charged.
3-I am of the opinion that the School Committee may charge such sum as will cover the expense to the town of the use permitted by the Committee."
"All of our statutes are subordinate to our Constitution and in the present arrangement under Amendment XLVI, Section 2, it is provided that 'No use of public property. shall be made. . . or author- ized .... for the purpose of maintaining or aiding ...... any other school which is not publicly owned and under the exclusive control order, and superintendence of public officers or public agents."'
The Committee can let an auditorium for purpose of personal gain.
EVENING SCHOOL
Last summer we unfortunately lost our efficient supervisor of Evening School and Director of Americanization, Miss Josephine H. Rourke, who resigned that she might attend Boston University to finish her work for a college degree. Miss Rourke had done very creditable work and had brought our department to a high degree of efficiency.
Mr. George E Hayes, one of the principals, has taken charge of the work for the present term.
The Evening School work is carried on under the following outline:
Adult Alien Education :
The aim of this branch is to teach English to the foreign born so that they will be able to study the principles of government and ulti- mately become interested enough to become citizens of the Land. The course is divided into the following groups:
164
