It may be necessary to provide one or more new typewriters for next year, in addition to the four that we have in use.
For further information in regard to the high school I re- fer you to the report of the principal.
The advantages which have been given to the present eighth grade, by having them in a room by themselves last year, and by the division of the grade this year, is serving to overcome some of the disadvantages of previous years. I
81
hope that we may be able to give them the entire attention of one teacher for the year when they are in the ninth grade. Even then the deficiencies of their training in the lower grades cannot be entirely overcome. I trust that we may be on the alert to never allow overcrowded conditions to affect the lives of our young people again in this disastrous way.
This prompts me to again call attention to the importance of a high standard of promotion in the grades, in order to have efficient pupils in the high school. In our attempt to hold to a high standard the greatest obstacle is the effect of those pupils who are irregular in attendance, and whose par- ents are ever ready with trivial excuses for allowing them to be absent. Experience tells us that parents of these children are the ones who make the most noise about what they con- sider to be the defects of the schools, and also complain the most over what they term to be the injustice and prejudice of the teachers, when their particular children are not pro- moted. Teachers give a vast amount of time in their at- tempts to keep such children up in their work, but too often they receive something very opposite to thanks for what they do.
Work well done by any child is sure to bring promotion to that child, and it is rank injustice to require conscientious, proficient pupils to be held in the same class with those whose habits of work are irregular and slovenly. Parents have an important duty in this respect, and by meeting it from the right standpoint they could be of great benefit to the general welfare of the schools.
The products of the children's attempts at agriculture and other industrial work, which were on exhibition at the Grange Fair, show us that much more can be done in this direction if the right encouragement is given. The co-operation of Med- field Grange in this respect is greatly appreciated.
The attempt to continue in use old non-adjustable desks and chairs serves to work injuriously, at times, when it is im- possible to find suitable seats and desks for pupils who are somewhat out of the regular order of height and size. We can not safely ignore the physical side of education, and I strongly urge that some adjustable desks and chairs be pur-
82
chased to meet the needs of the class of pupils to whom I have referred.
In closing I wish to call attention to the reports of the sup- ervisors of music, and drawing and manual arts ; also to the statistics appended herewith.
The splendid spirit of the teachers is one of the main fac- tors in the successful work of the year, and your co-operation and work has enabled me to put into operation influences which will be of everlasting benefit to the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
M. J. WEST, Superintendent of Schools.
Medfield, Mass., January 31, 1913.
To MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
DEAR SIR :- I herewith submit my first report as Principal of the Ralph Wheelock School. My few comments may be general in character or of High School reference, since you already have statistical and grade data at hand.
I am glad to acknowledge a growing response throughout the school to the rules of organization and personal conduct which are so essential to the well-being of our school-commun- ity. The interest of the parents is always appreciated and is essential to successful school work. There is every reason why the education of the school and home should be in har- mony. Special forms of training, and methods only apt un- der the environment and peculiar conditions of either, must be employed, but obedience, honesty, fairness, and cleanli- ness, together with development of thought and abilities, are common purposes of our training. The teacher's judgment in dealing with her peculiar problems should be respected. When it is challenged by a parent, the child's faith in the teacher is injured, its insubordination is encouraged, and its
83
profit by that teacher's instruction, lessened. Confidence and sympathy between parent, child, and teacher, make school-work doubly effective.
The most definite gain in the High School administration has been that of constructive organization. Class and athlet- ic organizations have been given purpose, character, and sys- tem, and all have been unified in a general executive body of the school. Harmony, regulation, and mutual understanding and good-will have thus been made possible, and all of these subordinate interests have been brought into proper relation with the work of the school. The results of this policy are already manifest in general school spirit, and application to school-work, but its chief value will be realized in its useful- ness in avoiding difficulties previously recurring and difficult of settlement.
In terms of general school efficiency I believe the action making the High School a two-session school, and thus co- ordinating the administration and operation of the two schools, has had invaluable results. You will remember that I spoke emphatically in favor of the plan when we first met together and the advantages which I then outlined have been fully realized. We would anticipate a wreck if the switch- man were not at his post to direct the trains to cleared tracks, and grades cannot take care of themselves much better. A Principal's work in the grades, or the lack of the same, will show in High School attitude and general response. More- over the direct benefits to the High School under the present plan have proved real in the working out of the experiment.
The school grounds were much improved by last summer's grading, and along the line of continued development, there are a few inexpensive devices which I should like to see loca- ted on the grounds in the spring for the healthful enjoyment of the younger children and girls. The field leased last fall for the older boys has been most serviceable in giving safe and legitimate opportunity for athletic exercises. Playground games have been encouraged. I trust the field will continue to be available.
In closing I desire to thank all those who have worked with
84
me in executive capacity for their sympathetic and helpful co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH W. TAYLOR, Principal.
MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
It has been my aim during the past five months, to carry · on the Weaver system of music, which has already been estab- lished in the schools. This system gives graded work in all music principals, and through the individual sight singing, develops independence, mental alertness, and concentration. As the growth of the technical music increases, the capacity for appreciating the aesthetic will also increase.
The first year many are found deficient in pitch, and by persistent effort are taught to sing a scale correctly. The lat- ter part of the year very simple reading is begun.
During the second and third years, sight reading, increas- ing in difficulty, is continued, and many rote songs are taught.
The fifth and sixth grades sing two-part music, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades sustain three or four parts, according to the condition of the voices. There are many children who have exceptional voices and musical ability.
An effort is made in the upper grades to interest pupils in music written by the best composers, thus cultivating an ap- preciation and liking for good music.
The music in the high school consists of chorus work only. Short choruses were sung the first few weeks of the year. The past three months have been devoted to the study of a can- tata, which we hope to be able to produce publicly later in the year. The interest shown by the chorus, and their willing- ness to respond to suggestions, are much appreciated.
In closing, I wish to acknowledge, with gratitude, the un-
85
failing interest, and helpful co-operation and support of the teachers.
Respectfully submitted,
CARRIEBELLE E. THAYER, Supervisor of Music.
MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
The arrangement of drawing supervision in the Medfield schools continues the same as the previous year. There is a constant aim for thorough knowledge in principles and better quality of results, and that, with steady practice gradually advances the general work.
Sewing lessons are taught in the grammar grades. A lit- tle raffia work has been added to the interest of some of the pupils. The girls of the eighth grade are able to make arti- cles of clothing that require a sewing machine in the school. Doing a part of the work at home is not always satisfactory or convenient.
The boys of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades have con- tinued basket weaving and chair caning. At present four chairs have been re-seated and eight others are in process. Sloyd should be taught to the older boys for they are able to do more energetic manual work.
The past year's work shows interest and improvement. In nearly every case the sewing and chair caning have been a di- rect benefit to the pupils.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN M. ALLAN, Supervisor of Drawing.
