. ABSTRACT FROM CHAPTER 99 OF THE REVISED LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Sec. 3. Physicians and midwives shall, within forty- eight hours after the birth of every child in cases of which they were in charge, mail or deliver to the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which the birth occurred a notice stat- ing the date and place of the birth, giving the street number if any, color and the family name. They shall within fifteen days after the birth, mail or deliver to the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which the birth occurred a report of the . birth, stating the date and place, the name, if any, of the child, its sex and color, and the names, ages, places of birth, occupations and residences of the parents, giving the street number, if there be any, and the number of the ward in a city, the maiden name of the mother, if the full return is not made within the forty-eight hours.
The fee of the physician or midwife shall be twenty-five cents for each birth so reported. A physician or midwife who neglects to report each birth within forty-eight hours or fif- teen days thereafter, shall for each offence forfeit a sum not exceeding twenty-five dollars.
Sec. 6. Parents within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder within forty days after a birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the city or town in which such child is born.
The facts required for record, as stated in section 3, shall so far as known or obtainable, be included in every notice given under the provision of this section.
Sec. 8. A parent, or other persons, who by section 6 is required to give, or cause to be given, notice of a birth or death, who neglects to do so for ten days after the time
123
limited therefor, shall forfeit not more than five dollars for each offence.
Sec. 24. The Town Clerk will furnish blanks for returns. of births to parents, householders, physicians and midwives who apply therefor.
Auditors' Report.
As Auditors for the year 1917, we have examined the vouchers and accounts of the Collector and Treasurer and have compared the balances shown on his books with cash on hand and bank balances and find same correct.
We feel the adoption of the new system which has en- abled us to check all bills before payment by the Treasurer has proven very satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. RYDER, J. ALTON PAINE,
Auditors.

The condition of our school property is satisfactory, and the progress in school work is most commendable.
We lament the death of two members of our school com- mittee during the year, Mr. L. Augustus Tower and Mr. Herbert Holmes.
Associated with them for many years in the care of our schools we learned to appreciate their devoted service and their ernest efforts toward the advancement of education.
We cherish their memory as valued members of our School Board, members who were wise in deliberation and appreciative of all influences that broaden mental growth and character.
To meet the expenses of the coming year we would recommend the following appropriations: General control, $1,000 00

Twenty-sixth Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
To the School Committee of West Bridgewater, Mass.
The enrolment in our schools shows a marked decrease as compared with that of one year ago, due in part to raising the age of admission to the first grade and in part to economic conditions. The world war in which we are engaged, through enlistments and the operation of the selective draft, is mak- ing serious inroads upon the industries of the country, there- by opening to the boys and girls attractive opportunities for employment. Many yielding to this temptation have left school, probably never to return. This condition is to be deplored for never as before the country will need educated men and women trained for special lines of usefulness. Un- less home conditions make such a course impossible, boys and girls should be kept in school.
The unusual conditions confronting the world today are reflected in the increased cost of nearly every item in the school budget as well as in other departments of the town. Economy and retrenchment are the watchwords today. Practical economy can and must be effected by greater effi- ciency in all lines of work, but a handicapping policy of re- trenchment must not be allowed to interfere with school activities. This country has hardly begun to feel the pinch of actual war conditions as have Belgium, France and Eng-

land, which for more than three years have borne the brunt of this gigantic struggle. And yet France is giving unusual attention to her public school system and England has in- creased her expenditures for public education thirty per cent over that for any preceding year. We can well bear in mind the words of Commissioner Payson Smith in a recent letter addressed to school superintendents of the state: "Education is a long time investment. Its purpose is to protect democ- racy through the right training of the youth. Even tempor- ary interference with this purpose, through inadequate financial support, may seriously impair the quallty of our future citizenship. In the present crisis it is imperative that towns and cities give careful attention to the needs of the schools."
The falling off in membership made it possible for us to close two rooms in September, viz: the ninth grade room at the High School building and the East School. Pupils from these rooms are cared for at the Centre School.
The teacher problem which has been growing more diffi- cult each year has recently reached the acute stage. Men are being drafted for active service and women are leaving the ranks for government or Red Cross work or for positions in the world of business. There is today an actual shortage of trained teachers and the outlook for months, and perhaps years, is anything but bright. Teachers' agencies report hundreds of calls with no candidates to nominate. School boards are forced to lower their standards and to accept teachers with little or no experience.
The year just closed has witnessed the inauguration of our plan for an eight-grade system, the first step of which was the vote of the school board to raise the age of admis- sion to the first grade. In accordance with this vote children who become five years of age before the first of March may enter school the following September. Changes have been made in the course of study for the purpose of accelerating
15
the work of each grade. The plan contemplates the promo- tion of an increasing number of pupils each year from the eighth grade to the High School, until the ninth grade is practically eliminated.
The home economics club described in my last report had a most successful season. Meetings of the club members were held regularly and the home projects were faithfully carried out. Boys and girls entered heartily into the work of the club, both being very successful especially in the making of bread. At the close of the three-month period an exhibition of sewing and cooking was held in the town hall. This was a most commendable exhibit and deserved a much wider public recognition than it received.
One of the interesting developments of the past year is the so-called socialized recitation, a form of classroom activity in which the recitation is wholly in the hands of the class. The leader selected for the day presents his topic and then submits himself to questioning and criticism, calling upon pupils in turn as they rise at their desks. Discussions are conducted in a dignified manner and the pupils acquire the habit of thinking on their feet and of expressing themselves clearly. They become more alert and are quick to detect inaccurate statements, while the knowledge that they must be able to answer their own questions means a more care- fully prepared lesson on their part. Instead of relieving the teacher of responsibility this form of recitation places upon her a greater burden. She must be able to direct these activities along profitable lines, to make sensible and wise criticism upon the conduct of the class and above all to have an accurate and comprehensive grasp upon the subject matter under discussion at any time. In other words her prepara- tion for the day's lesson must be carefully and thoroughly made. The socialized recitation is not a panacea for all schoolroom shortcomings nor should it be relied upon alto- gether. The wise teacher finds it necessary from time to
1
16
time to come back to the ordinary form of classroom work, to insure the completion of the outline called for by the course of study.
The work in drawing has been conducted along the same lines as in former years. The supervisor meets the teachers once each month and outlines the work for the ensuing four- week period. This plan seems to be giving satisfactory results. In his report to me Mr. Ketchum says :
"The outline in drawing has been the same as last year. Teachers and pupils have shown much interest in the subject and excellent re- sults have been obtained. The teachers are provided with a type-written outline of the course and are given instruction at the monthly meetings in carrying out the work. Besides this I have visited each room several times during the year, -at the Centre Grammar School every month-and have taught whenever it has seem- ed advisable.
"The boys in the eighth and ninth grades have continued with their wood-work and have made quite a number of useful things. A good variety of plans of articles which can be made of simple construction have been provided for their use."
The enrolment at the Howard High School is practically the same as for last year. Mr. A. H. Smith has been elected principal in place of Miss Bertha F. Lawrence who resigned last summer after a long and successful period of service. One additional teacher has been elected to the faculty,-Miss Lillian M. Turner, who has charge of the science work. Miss Maud E. Metcalf takes the place of Miss Welch who resigned in December to enter government work.
Principal Smith reports to me as follows:
"An entirely new course has been added to
17
our curriculum. The length of time devoted to many subjects has been increased so that now all but five (5) of our courses come every day in the week. Community Civics has been required of all Freshmen and Spanish added as an elec- tive in the last two years. The school day has been legthened and a recess of fifteen minutes has been added. All periods are forty minutes in length and our school day is five hours.
"The Commercial Course has been revised and now conforms to that given in the repre- sentative city high school. The History has also been revised so that we have a graded course in social subjects extending through four years. With the exception of Domestic Science and Manual Training we now have courses in all sub- jects given by any high school in the State.
"We have the certificate privilege granted by the College Entrance Board, as well as that of the State Normal Schools. Recently Cornell and Syracuse Universities granted us their certifi- cate privilege so that we are able to certify our graduates to any college or normal school which allows entrance in this manner.
"An attempt has been made to introduce supervised study. Pupils are assigned for study to rooms where no recitations are being carried on. These rooms are in charge of teachers who direct the pupil's work and see that no time is wasted. Our arrangement is far from what we hope to attain, but already we can see good re- sults from our feeble attempt.
" Many needed changes in text books have been made so that our classes are now using the latest and best books obtainable.
18
"One new room has been fitted up for the use of our growing classes, and next year we shall open up still another.
"Our Senior class numbers 20, of which number 14 are preparing to enter some institu- tion of higher learning. It is the hope of the Faculty that this number will be added to before the end of the school year.
"There has also been a revival in athletic interest. The Boys' Basketball team is working twice a week under a coach, and the girls have two coaches. There is also a series of interclass games among the girls for a cup. Practically every pupil is a member of the Athletic Associ- tion and we are getting excellent results.
"The spirit throughout the school is excel- lent. Parents and the pupils are co-operating cheerfully and effectively with us in our efforts to make our school one of the best in the state. The Board of Trustees have been very generous and broad-minded, and we enjoy the heartiest co-operation of the Supt. of Schools. The future seems bright and we sincerely trust that our efforts may bring to all of us the consummation of our great desire-the success and efficiency of our high school."
The past year has been one of real achievement and the outlook for the future is bright. We have an efficient corps of teachers to whom thanks are due for hearty co-operation in the work of the year. I wish also to express to the mem- bers of the school board my appreciation for continued help and support.
Respectfully submitted, EDGAR H. GROUT,
Superintendent of Schools.
