The first group of eighth grade pupils to be promoted to the High school under our new system of promotion, were admitted to the school last September. According to reports received from the school the pupils have done well in nearly every instance and some are credited with a superior quality of work. It is hoped that each year we can promote an increasingly larger proportion of the grade.
The work in drawing continues along the same line as in previous years. In his report to me the supervisor says : "At the teachers' meetings held each month the plans for drawing work for the coming month have been given out with careful directions for presenting the work to the pupils. The results obtained, month by month, have been very creditable.
"The teachers are well-equipped for teaching the sub- ject by the excellent training they receive in the different
12
normal schools in the state, a fact which helps immensely in making the plan a success."
The Howard High school is becoming more and more an important factor in the educational system of the town. It is a matter for regret, however, that more of our citi- zens are not taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the school. A few people, influenced by the specious argument that a general high school training is not neces- sary for good positions in the business world and that there is a short route to such positions, have taken their children fro mthe school. Too early specialization in busi- ness subjects means that the child enters upon his career with a foundation of general training too meager to in- sure any considerable advancement in his chosen field. He soon reaches the maximum of efficiency and finds him- self in a blind alley, with little or no hope for promotion. His only cours is a somewhat ignoble retreat, with the opportunity for a new start based upon a better and broader foundation.
For a detailed statement of the work of the school dur- ing the past year I refer you to the following report of Principal Smith :
REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Howard High School, West Bridgewater, Mass.,
December 30, 1918. Mr. E. H. Grout, Supt. of Schools,
My dear Mr. Grout :- It give me great pleasure to hand you my second annual report as principal of the Howard High school.
Since my last report many things have happened which have had an important bearing on our school. Our efforts to raise the standard of our work and to maintain our certificate privileges have met with very gratifying suc-
cess. Last June we obtained the special certificate privi- lege of Cornell and Syracuse universities, and a short time before we had the pleasure of having our certificate to Normal schools accepted in Class A. We now have all the certificate privileges that are granted to any high school in the state. Our Commercial department has been reorganized and greatly improved so that our grad- uates now obtain good positions upon completing their course. Two of our graduates of last year immediately obtained positions at good salaries, and have since had two increases in salaries because of the excellence of their work. The Science department has been improved by the addition of new apparatus and up-to-date text books. Under the guidance of Miss Turner the work in this de- partment has been of the best and the courses are popu- lar.
Last June we graduated a class of eighteen, the largest in the history of the school. Of these eighteen six went on to higher institutions, four others were prepared to enter college and had had their certificates accepted, but were unable to go because of financial difficulties or be- cause of death in the family obliging them to go to work. Of the others, all but one secured good positions upon the recommendation of the school.
At the opening of school this September we had an en- rollment of 105, distributed as follows :
Seniors,
20
Juniors,
20
Sophomores,
25
Freshmen,
40
Two changes were made in the Faculty to take the place of Miss Longfellow and Miss Zahn who resigned last June.
Miss Hildegard I. St. Onge, a graduate of Boston Uni- versity, has the classes in Latin and French. Miss St. Onge came to us highly recommended and has demonstrated
14
.
her worth in the short time she has been with us. Her classes are popular and the work in French is being con- ducted almost entirely in that tongue.
Miss Amy S. Damon, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke col- lege, has the classes in English and Ancient history Miss Damon has been a success from the start and has inspired her pupils with a zeal for their work. For the first time Ancient history is a popular subject, and there are en- rolled in the class more than twice the number of last year.
A larger number of pupils than usual chose the college course this year, although there was an increase also in the Commercial department.
The Commercial department under the guidance of Miss Maude Metcalf has shown marked improvement in methods and quality of work. Each class in typewriting now has practice periods supervised by the teacher, and arrangements have been made by which each member of the advanced class in stenography in turn has an oppor- tunity to take the dictation of the principal and do the clerical work of the office, thus providing very valuable and practical experience.
The school has been very active in all the war work which has been added to our other duties. We are a 100% high school on War Savings Stamps and on Junior Red Cross membership. We have contributed liberally to the United War Fund, and have collected over 400 books for the War Library Association. Many of our older girls have acted as solicitors in the War Pledge drives and the last two Liberty Loan campaigns. Nothing in these lines has been asked of the pupils that has not met with a most enthusiastic response. We are constantly making scrap books for the soldiers and sailors in the hospitals.
Our record on War Savings Stamps owned by the pupils is worthy of special mention. The following figures will give an idea of the extent to which the thrift idea has
15
taken hold of our boys and girls :
The pupils of the school have purchased for their own Thrift and War Savings Stamps to the value of $1,037.75, which means an average for each pupil of $10.58-a very creditable record, which has been complimented by Mr. Eldon B. Keith, county chairman, and also by the Central Committee in Boston. The sum of $173.50 was given by the school for the United War Fund in their recent drive.
This school year has been much broken up and the con- tinuity and effectiveness of our work has been much hindered. The influenza epidemic caused us a loss of three weeks during which the school was closed. In addi- tion to this much time has been lost by the illness of teachers. Substitutes are scarce and so the work has suffered. The extra peace holidays have also contributed to the general demoralization of school functions. How- ever, the spirit of the pupils has been excellent and they have responded with a will to our efforts to make up lost time and work. They have voted to work extra periods and to double up in certain subjects in order to get as much done as possible. This spirit cannot be commended too highly.
The teachers are hard-working and enthusiastic thor- oughly interested and loyal. The success of the school is due in the highest degree to their splendid co-operation and interest. We are a large family, each one striving to make the whole as efficient as possible and doing it in a pleasant manner.
We regret that we have not seen the superintendent of schools and the president of the Trustees more often, but we know they are keenly alive to our welfare and we have many tangible evidences of their desire to promote the progress and efficiency of the school. For all the past evidences of this interest we express our gratitude and know that they will do all in their power for us in the future. 1
16
This coming year we intend to make our work in Eng- lish stronger and to increase the efficiency of our Com- mercial department. We have every reason to believe that this school year, in spite of its handicaps, will be the best the school has had.
Very sincerely yours,
A. H. SMITH, Principal.
In closing this report I wish to call attention to the fact that because of the influenza epidemic the work of our schools during the present school year must of necessity fall somewhat short of our usual accomplishment. Four weeks have been lost outright. Of this time we shall en- deavor to make up two weeks by shortened vacation periods. It does not seem wise, however, to gain more time through Saturday sessions, or by extending the school year beyond the first of July. The best we can do is to recognize the situation as it is and consider this as an unavoidably shortened year.
It is but fair to the teachers to say that they have met the unusual situation courageously, and that they are do- ing all in their power to make the year's work as success- ful as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
EDGAR H. GROUT, Superintendent of Schools. West Bridgewater, Mass., Jan. 23, 1919.
