SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT
To the Town of Arlington:
The School Committee submit their annual report.
The report of the Superintendent of Schools, approved and adopted by this Board, contains a detailed account of much of the work of the schools during the year. The present report will therefore be confined to a few topics. The two reports taken together will, it is hoped, give the town all necessary information as to the condition of the schools.
Superintendent of Schools.
The town at the last annual meeting voted to authorize this Board to appoint a Superintendent of Schools. After careful inquiry and investigation we chose to that office. Mr. I. Freeman Hall, who entered upon his duties early in May. Mr. Hall was at that time superintendent in Natick and Belmont. By our arrangement with him he gives three days in the week to Arlington and two to Belmont. This plan has worked well in practice, as the schools of the two towns are enough to employ profitably the superintendent's time while the expense is divided in a fair proportion be- tween them. In Mr. Hall we have secured a superintendent of wide experience and of marked energy and ability, and we are already beginning to feel the benefits of placing our schools under his supervision, although, of course, the larger results will take time to work out. In his report herewith printed will be found an account in detail of his work. Speaking generally, the course of study is better arranged than it was, the schools are better organized so that the

time of scholars is more wisely used, improvements have been made in methods of teaching,-and in short the natural results of placing the schools under skilled super- vision are being wrought out.
The salary of the superintendent is somewhat larger than we estimated in our last report, which was based on the sup- position that we should require less of a superintendent's time than we have in fact found advisable. We are agreed however that money spent for this purpose is wisely em- ployed and is producing a decided benefit in the education of the children in our schools.
