HIGH SCHOOL.
A written examination will be required of pupils desiring ad- mission to the High school, and each one admitted will select which Course of Study he desires to pursue. Optional studies can be chosen with consultation with the Principal, subject to the necessities of the school organization.
No change from one course, or from one optional study to an- other, or taking of irregular or mixed courses can be permitted except on written request of parent or guardian, approved by the Principal and Superintendent. Diplomas will be awarded only to those who have completed one of the regular courses.
Three studies, besides general exercises, are required of every member of the school unless excused for ill health, on the cer- tificate of a physician No pupil will be permitted to take four studies, except when necessary to make up a condition. As a general rule optional classes will not be formed for less than three pupils.
A record will be kept of each pupil's standing as determined by recitation and by examination. Each perfect recitation will be reckoned ten-entire failures and unexcused absences, each zero, in making up the average standing. An average of sixty percent will be required for advancement in each study.
There will be general exercises for all courses, in Reading, Spelling, Composition, Declamation and Drawing. At least one Composition and one Recitation is to be required of each pupil in every month. Besides these general exercises, essay

GENERAL DIRECTIONS.
Reading. In reading, the thought should be in the mind be- fore the words are uttered, then each sentence read as a whole, just as it should be spoken in conversation. In all grades, at- tention should be given to attitude, breathing, distinct enuncia- tion, pronunciation, etc. In naming separate words, they should not be taken in the order of a sentence, and pupils should be taught to see whole phrases and speak them as wholes, as: In a hollow tree,-in the orchard,-lived five little squirrels. New and unfamiliar words in a lesson should be taught before the reading is attempted. In lessons to be studied, new and diffi- cult words should be taught when the lesson is assigned. If the whole attention is directed to grasp the words, the pupil is not able to attend to the subject of thought. There should be constant effort to get the pupils to think of what they are read- ing, to enter into the thoughts and feelings of the author. If the thought is understood and the words with their meaning, recognized, the expression ought to be easy and natural. In the higher grades it is well to encourage the class to question the reader in regard to the meaning of the passage read, or any place name or event mentioned, the meaning and derivation of words; and attention should be given to emphasis, pitch, stress, inflection, pause, time,-to the principles of good reading.
Language. Cultivating the power of expressing ideas and thoughts, correctly and easily, both in speaking and writing, are
141
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
to be a daily exercise, systematic and progressive. To make the exercises in language pleasant, attractive and profitable to the pupils, constant care must be taken to furnish suitable oc- casions of thought before expression is required. Clear ideas must be in the possession of the pupil before correct expression can be given. Observation lessons, objects, pictures, actions, stories and every branch of study will furnish material for these exercises. Above the Primary grades, one exercise every two weeks should be copied into exercise books and preserved for in- spection. With each, the date and character of the exercise,- whether composition, dictation, reproduction or abstract, should be indicated. Letter writing in its various forms, should re- ceive early and careful attention.
Arithmetic. In the fundamental processes of Arithmetic, thoroughness is indispensable. Accuracy first, and then rapid- ity should be secured. In the first steps, objects are presented to the senses of the child to secure clear ideas of the numbers, and to suggest by proper handling, the desired mental results. Objects may be used in Primary work in combinations to 20, but are to be laid aside as soon as the proper mental process is secured. Principles are to be taught rather than rules, and each subject illustrated and made clear by simple problems, solved by the pupils, before it is assigned as a lesson from the text book. Mental exercises should be given separately, and also in connec- tion with the written work. Mental Arithmetic aids in develop- ing the powers of attention, memory and reasoning, cultivates the power of language by securing clearness of thought and ex- pression, and greatly assists in the written work. The course in Arithmetic is given mainly by topics instead of pages, to in- timate the study of subjects rather than of the book, merely.
Geography. An intelligent knowledge of Geography cannot be acquired by merely memorizing dry details and statistics. The facts relating to form, motions, surface, climate, distribution of animal and vegetable life, the manners, customs, occupations, governments and religions of men, to be remembered, must be made real and interesting by association. Map drawing is to be
142
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
used not as an end, but as a means of aiding to fix in the mind essential facts.
History. The Primary History is to be used as supplemen- tary reading in the seventh grade, to familiarize pupils somewhat with the vocabulary of history before the subject is taken up as a special study. In the study of this subject, pupils should recite in their own language, and avoid mere memorizing. Lessons should be assigned by topics instead of pages in the text-book. Progressive maps to show progress of discoveries, the growth of the country, the location of important events, and pictures of places and men will interest and prove a valuable aid in teaching history. Create as far as possible, a taste for histor- ical and biographical literature.
Spelling. As the practical use of correct spelling is found mainly when thoughts are expressed in writing, the exercises in spelling should be principally in writing. Mis-spelled words should be re-written correctly and frequently reviewed. The spelling lesson may often, with profit, consist of mis-spelled words of the language exercises and examination papers. In higher grades, it is well often to require sentences embracing the words of the lesson, definitions, synonymns and derivations. Once a week an oral review or recreation in spelling is valuable. Choosing sides and spelling down or calling to the other side, add interest. Pronunciation, definition or derivation matches, serve to create an interest and to encourage the study of words.
Penmanship Copies on blackboard, paper or slate should be in conformity to the system of penmanship in use. Neatness and precision should be insisted upon in all written work. To give ease and freedom of movement, frequent drills in ovals. slides, etc., are important. Insist upon correct pen and pencil holding at all times.
Physical Exercises, in some form, should be given near the middle of each half session, in all the elementary grades. To be of benefit. they should be brief and lively, performed with precision and uniformity. Teachers will devote some time reg-
143
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
ularly each week to instruction in temperance, morals and manners, as required by the Statutes of the Commonwealth.
Memory Gems. Once a month .require pupils to commit to memory a choice selection of prose or poetry, brief, suited to the age and capacity, and worth remembering.
Miscellaneous. Observation lessons, having for their aim the cultivation of the powers of observation, and awakening an inter- est and love for objects in nature, should be given in primary and grammar grades, consisting of lessons on animals. minerals, plants, form, color, place, etc. In every lesson there should be some definite object in view, not an aimless, rambling talk on some subject. In primary grades, there should be prepared beforehand and varying each day a plan for each day's work embracing a variety of busy work, covering every period of each class when not engaged in recitation.
Examinations. Beginning with the seventh grade, written examinations are required each month. No examination must occupy more than one day. The papers are to be deposited in the office of the Superintendent and kept on file for at least one year. At the end of each term a re-examination will be re- quired of every one who, in any study falls in rank below 60 on ·a scale of 100. In all grades, frequent examinations or tests are important to show what is retained and what requires addi- tional attention, and to exercise pupils in correct, clear, and concise statements. Except in First Primary grade, no pupil will be transferred from one class to another without the express direction of the Superintendent. No person will be examined for promotion out of the regular course, unless his age or schol- arship is above the average of his class.
