pect for smaller classes in the future. Thirty-seven more pupils have been registered at this date than on the corre- sponding date last year. There is a large class of primary children, and, if they are all promoted and placed in the same room with the present second grade next year, there will be fifty or more children in that room. Grades eight and nine will contain over fifty pupils next year, and no one teacher, in a five hour day, can do for those grades what ought to be done. Here is a condition, and it should be squarely faced by those who are responsible, and solved by plans which are in line with the needs of the times. The time is long past when the argument that one teacher can do all the necessary work for sixty to seventy-five pupils can carry any weight.
I am placing these matters before you because I feel that it is our duty to inform the citizens of conditions which they are not in position to study out for themselves, and, because they are conditions which I am sure the citizens ought to know. Suggestions have been made in other years with the object of providing a remedy for the congested conditions, and again I wish to offer some suggestions. They may bring out discussion or arouse thoughts which may develop even a bet- ter plan than I herewith suggest.
Our Commissioner of Education talks to us about six years of elementary school and six years of high school. By adopt- ing a modified form of this idea we could organize our eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grades as a Junior High School, and continue the twelfth and thirteenth grades as a Senior High School. A Junior High School diploma could be given to those who wish to stop at the end of the eleventh grade, and those who wish to enter college, attend a normal school or complete the commercial course could continue through the thirteenth grade and receive a Senior High School diploma.
To organize on this basis, it would be necessary to use all of the building above the first floor for high school purposes, and if organized next September there would be about 130 pupils, which would require a principal and four teachers, one of whom might be a teacher of domestic science. The room previously referred to, which was supplied with desks this year, might be fitted up as a good laboratory and the present laboratory could be used for a typewriting room.
85
The next question relates to the disposition of the elemen- tary grades. They could be managed for a few years, at least, with the exception of the first grade, on the first floor. Another place would have to be provided for the first grade. If nothing else could be found a portable schoolhouse would answer the purpose. There is room enough in the Lowell Mason building, but, unfortunately it is too far away.
As stated before, these suggestions are for discussion and for a possible solution. I do not offer the plan as the best, but as something which would answer for a time. Public opinion will finally demand something better.
Neither do I offer this plan as one which will not cost any- thing. Public education has always cost sacrifice, money, time and patience, and it is safe to assume that it will go on costing these more and more. The efficiency of education depends largely upon how much we are willing to put into it.
The school census has been taken, as directed by the State Board of Education, to conform to the law as amended by the Acts of 1914. It now includes, on a separate census card for each child, all children over five and under sixteen years of age, and all illiterate children over sixteen and under twenty-one years of age. This method of recording the cen- sus has taken more time than the usual method, therefore has increased the expense.
The reports of Mr. Taylor, Miss Allan and Miss Thayer are submitted for your consideration. I heartily approve such suggestions as Mr. Taylor has made in relation to im- provements to the Ralph Wheelock building, because thereby the work of the schools would be facilitated.
The special teachers are bringing about good results with their work, and we hope that the manual work for the boys may be extended.
Those who have the most to do with making and using school reports are generally agreed that their chief purpose is to furnish information concerning the schools, and to present plans for their improvement. No attempt has, therefore, been made in this report to write an educational essay, but rather to furnish a report of historical and statistical nature
86
from which it is hoped the public may obtain information and suggestions.
Respectfully submitted,
M. J. WEST, Superintendent of Schools.
Medfield, Mass., December 31, 1914.
Medfield, Mass., January 2, 1915. To MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Although the general program of drawing and art work in the schools is similar to the work of previous years, constant changes are made whenever pupils can be more benefited. It is the duty of a drawing teacher to make the work as inter- esting as possible, and in order to get a sufficient amount of drill and variety in any one department, new ideas and new ways of expressing old theories must be studied and worked out.
The new room for manual work in the school basement is a vast improvement. The work-bench and tools enable the boys to make objects in elementary woodwork. If benches to accomodate ten more boys could be acquired, a regular sloyd course might be carried out.
The new sewing machine has doubled the interest of the sewing classes. I feel that the new conditions are adding re- newed effort and pleasure to all the pupils engaged in hand work.
Respectfully submitted, HELEN M. ALLAN.
MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Dear Sir ;- In submitting my third annual report of the work in music in the public schools, it seems unnecessary to give an outline of the system which is being taught, as this has been done in previous reports.
The results obtained from the use of our system are inter- esting to note, however, and I am glad to be able to say that a
87
gradual improvement in sight reading and general ability can be seen throughout the grades. There seems to be, also, an increased interest from year to year, that is gratifying. A word of appreciation is due the teachers for their interest and support, and their efforts to secure satisfactory results in the daily work.
The high school chorus, which is composed chiefly of fresh- men and sophomores, this year, is doing good work. Owing to lack of space in the assembly room, it was necessary to make the subject of music elective with juniors and seniors. This is unfortunate, as only a part of those classes attend the chorus singing each week. There are good voices and musi- cal ability of which the chorus is deprived. It is hoped that in the future, arrangements may be made whereby all high school students may be included in the chorus.
Music in the public schools will eventually come to be thought of not so much as a special, as an essential subject. It is needed by all the boys and girls, and practically all of them are capable of being benefited by it.
Respectfully submitted, CARRIEBELLE E. THAYER.
MR. M. J. WEST, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
Institutions flourish upon the enthusiasm of those who be- lieve in them. To believe in an institution requires knowl- edge of its good work. Thereafter loyalty to the institution instigates the good word in its behalf, and others begin to get interested, drop prejudiced views and pessimistic prophe- cies, and become the institution's friends. Then the institu- tion assumes new life, and anxious to merit its good name and encouraged by the loyalty of those to whom it has a right to look for support, attains to more and more.
No one can be proud of a prejudice either based upon tra- dition or without basis because of non-information. If con- ditions of an institution were deplorable, a man's duty could not be fulfilled by simply becoming informed regarding those conditions and deploring them. That criticism only is ac- ceptable which is accompanied by action which will compel
88
the institution to live with profit to the community, or cease to live.
The High School of Medfield has for some years been be- fore the community court. In the past, during its experi- mental stage, there have perhaps been those who would have passed fatal judgment upon it, even before evidence had been permitted. But the evidence has been allowed, and the belief in the High School has grown steadily. Those who now di- rect the school work are greatly encouraged by the evidence of the school's large body of friends, and the good word con- cerning it which has gone abroad. The school moreover has come to believe in itself.
The basis of this belief, within and without the school, is briefly as follows. A steady growth in membership, and a consequent effort to meet the various requirements of the pupils, multiplied courses and developed departments of study. A few teachers labored diligently to direct this addi- tional work, and in spite of large handicaps produced results acceptable to the Normal Schools of the State. The last few years has seen a complete re-organization of courses of study. The late increase in the teaching force, demanded by the growth of the school and its work, has finally made possible a twenty per-cent increase in the number of hours given to each course,-a decided advantage to all concerned. The school is now meeting well the high requirements which the town of Medfield has a right to demand that it shall meet. The im- mediate application of courses to every-day life, has been much emphasized; while the preparatory work is being proven of high grade by those who are successfully entering normal school and college, and carrying on work in those in- stitutions with credit to themselves and to the Medfield High School.
The High School has this year been made up of seventy- one ambitious young people. There is every evidence of good citizenship developing in this group. The High School is no longer an experiment. It is an established institution which the town has become glad to forward, and of which it has a right to be proud.
I cannot refrain from turning the attention to one great obstruction to the further progress of the school. Though
89
far past the experimental stage itself, the school is still housed in experimental quarters. Several commercial and science classes are no longer held in rooms especially equipped for such courses because the latter are far too small. Neither can much fuller equipment for such courses-though needed -be contained in these rooms. Other handicaps and limita- tions have been multiplied before and need not be repeated here. But we cannot escape the conclusion that present con- ditions are serious enough to warrant immediate provision for an adequate high school home. The restriction of a full- grown butterfly to the spheres of its earlier life-stages would prevent the spreading of its wings, and restrict its life,-and the High School, as a well developed institution, is seriously cramped in its activity.
The return to a noon-period of one hour and fifteen minutes has been in the interest of good health. That those who may have to remain during the noon recess may be fully provided for, an arrangement has been made whereby one teacher will remain in charge each day.
The bell-wiring of the building is in bad condition, and since it has never been uniform is difficult to repair. The system is often out of order and partial repair has afforded only temporary relief. I would respectfully recommend that the complete rewiring of the building and the encasing of the wires be provided for in the next appropriation.
Electric lights in at least certain parts of the building would be of great advantage to the upper grade and high school teachers whose work frequently detains them, during the shorter days of the year until after sun-down. It would also provide for alumni association committee meetings, par- ents' meetings, high school rehearsals, et cetera.
The provisions of the School Committee and Superintend- ent during the past year have materially increased the wel- fare of the school and made new and valuable lines of work. In the teaching corps this year there has been a marked spirit of unity and mutual helpfulness. I acknowl- edge with gratitude the efficient aid of these, my co-workers.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH W. TAYLOR,
Principal.

Into the joy and sunshine That long has filled each heart, There steals the thought of sadness
That we from classmates part; But as the years drift onward, We, striving on our way, Shall never cease to cherish
Fond mem'ries of to-day.
Refrain. As we push ever onward, May not our strength depart. Oh Heav'nly Father, guide us; Sustain each falt'ring heart.
The future-bright with promise- Is heavy fraught with care That when our duty calls us, We'll not be wanting there. Join now in farewells, classmates, And when our day is done, May we return triumphant,- Our vict'ry nobly won.
