prescribe and furnish to school committees suitable rules of instruction, testcards, blanks, record books and other useful appliances for carrying out the purposes of this act, and shall provide for pupils in the normal schools instruction and practice in the best methods of testing the sight and hearing of children. The state board of education may expend during the year nine- teen hundred and six a sum not greater than fifteen hundred dollars, and annually thereafter a sum not greater than five hundred dollars for the purpose of supplying the material required by this act.
SECT. 7. The expense which a city or town may incur by virtue of the authority herein vested in the school committee or board of health, as the case may be, shall not exceed the amount appropriated for that purpose in cities by the city council and in towns by a town meeting.

Such appropriation need not specify to what section of the act it shall apply, and may be voted as a total appropriation to be applied in carrying out the purposes of the act.
Sscr. 8. This act shall take effect on the first day of Sep tember in the year nineteen hundred and six. [Approved June 20, 1906.
INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION.
In these days we are learning much about the child as an individual, and that to a greater or less degree the class system should give place to individual help and attention. No one will question that the schools in attempting to perform their duty of preparing children for a successful life in coming years should give as much individual help as possible. In every schoolroom may be found pupils with mental powers and equipment which enables them to far outstrip their schoolmates. Heredity and environment may account for much of this difference, and the question is how to do justice to the individual child as we find him.
25
Various methods of promotion have been tried, that in- struction suited to the pupil's needs might be given at all times. But the fact is that the teachers in the public schools as at present organized have so many pupils and so much to do that very little time can be given to each indi- vidual. It would take many teachers and much money to meet fully the individual needs of each child, especially the needs of those children who are non-average in their mental capacity. The public school, on its present basis, cannot do the work of a private tutor, as some would seem to expect ; that is impossible.
These schools are open to all classes of children. They take them as they come, and they do the best they can under the circumstances. If teachers have too many pupils, and so cannot give the individual attention that some parents desire their children to have, the fault is not that of the teachers, but rather that of the public school system. Reasonable effort is being made to operate the schools for the individual good of every child.
In conclusion, the public schools have many friends who know something of the work they are doing, and who appreciate the effort they are putting forth to solve the problems of modern life and social conditions. To them, to the faithful and loyal teachers, and to the School Com- mittee, who have given me their encouragement and sup- port, I wish to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN H. MANNING.

OTHER REPORTS
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
MR. J. H. MANNING,
Superintendent of Schools,
Groton, Mass.
Dear Sir: The need of individual instruction in music in the public schools is coming to be generally recognized although there are many places throughout the country where it has not been tried and where the work is carried on in blissful ignorance of the fact that where the instruc- tion in music is conducted classwise exclusively, only a very small percentage of pupils can acquire any independent knowledge of the principles of music. It is God's law, affecting everything in the natural world and in the realm of human activity, that progress is gained alone through individual effort and we pervert this law in the public in- struction in music by not allowing or by not obliging the pupil to work out his individual salvation, musically.
" Power is gained by overcoming obstacles," and we learn to do things only by doing them. The great ma- jority of pupils never have an opportunity to do things alone and consequently never acquire ability to do them, which accounts in a great measure for the deplorable lack of ability to read music independently by the great per- centage of people graduated from the public schools ; I mean that the method of teaching music exclusively class wise absolutely prevents the acquiring of independent ability, except on the part of a few leaders, the most apt
28
pupils of the class. The great majority are simply trailers carried along, irresistibly by the leaders and they do not have an opportunity to develop any motive power of their own. The child never learned to walk by being carried by fond parents. Give the child an opportunity to stand on his own feet, musically, to take his first step unaided, to fall if need be and then try again and again until power is developed. Then do not thwart the law of the Almighty by preventing him from ever taking another step unless surrounded and aided by his fellows. Twenty per cent. of pupils of a school will acquire independent ability in read- ing music under the class instruction, and in our experience over ninety-five per cent. will under proper individual instruction.
There are of course many modes of procedure in indi- vidual work in music, with many of which I have had ex- perience. The method of calling for volunteers to "sing a solo" with much coddling and flattery, is a detestable device and is in no sense teaching.
The pupil is bound to gain ability in sight reading only by reading that which is new. The following of an indi- vidual system results in far greater interest in music on the part of the pupil, it obliges every one to learn to read music; it has a wonderful effect in discipline and atten- tion ; it quickens mental activity and is a potent factor in teaching mental concentration and self-control.
The High School is no place to teach note reading. You cannot expect to teach primary work after they have taken up High School work. Carry them along with good music and secure their interest by employing their time in singing the very best and most interesting music which they are capable of learning.
There are no phenomenal voices in the school at present, but the individual method of instruction used in the lower - grades has discovered and drawn out a fair singing ability in an unusual percentage of the pupils. The school music work
29
should be made to touch the life of the child in school, in home, in church and in social circles as closely as possible.
An exhibition of our work in music will be given in the Town Hall, sometime in June. I find this a good way of bringing the results of our work directly before the people. The last year has been no exception to the previous years in the steady, honest growth of the music in the Groton schools.
In conclusion, I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Committee, Superintendent, teachers, pa- rents and citizens for their courtesy and co-operation the past year.
Very respectfully, J. AVISON BAKER.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
MR. J. H. MANNING,
Superintendent of Schools,
Groton, Mass.
I have the honor to submit my fourth annual report as Supervisor of Drawing in the public schools of Groton.
In drawing, as well as in many other branches of educa- tion, "practise makes perfect." I believe in allowing a child to do his own work with little or no direct aid, for it is valuable to him only when accomplished in that way. There can be no possible satisfaction to a child in taking home an article and having to admit that the teacher made most of it. He can never learn to do perfect work if he never has a chance to try. Too difficult or complicated work leads to carelessness.
Mechanical drawing is an exact science, admitting of no partly correct problems. Apply this statement to some mechanical movement and its force becomes apparent. To quote from a recent lecture, " If a little force pump works it works, and if it doesn't work no amount of excuse or explanation on the part of the pupil can make it work." The value of drawing in the higher grades lies largely in the training acquired, and but little in the articles or drawings made. If all these were to be destroyed, the skill of hand and ingenuity of brain devel- oped in devising and making them would still remain with the pupil.
.
-
It seems safe to say that at no previous time in the his- tory of this nation has there ever been such universal awakening to a sense of beauty. With this awakening
31
comes the increased demand for workmen who can supply it. Everything, from massive buildings down to silver trinkets, must be suitable and beautiful in every detail, naturally creating a demand for artistic architects and designers for a multitude of different things. There must exist a great demand for finely illustrated magazines, else publishers would not, at much expense to themselves, secure the best possible work in this line every month. But this very demand supplies work for the painters and illustrators.
The Arts and Crafts Societies, and some settlements more or less related, not only help to supply the demand for artistic objects and useful articles, but furnish work for an increasing number. Not so very many years ago a person with a decided artistic taste either tried to become a painter or else engaged in some occupation not even remotely connected with art. Now he may choose from among many different pursuits - alike in this, how- ever, that a person of artistic taste and ability is required in each.
.
The work in drawing in your town has been carried on along practically the same lines as usual this year. In most of the rooms it continues to average very well. Since we intend to have an exhibition in the Spring, it seemed best to save the work for that, and therefore we have sent no drawings to the School Arts Guild this year. The High School drawing classes this year are using the north room on the ground floor. Four periods are devoted to it per week.
I wish in closing to thank the school officials for their courtesy and help, the teachers for their interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
March 5, 1907.

ROLL OF HONOR.
The roll of honor, herewith printed, is a continuation of that given in last year's report, and covers the calendar year 1906. It is a just recognition of the effort made, in many families, to be regular and punctual in school attendance, and these records ought to be both an encouragement and an incentive to all to cultivate the habits of regularity and promptness in the per- formance of every duty.
