VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
The function of the High School has changed with changed social and economic conditions. When the present High School building was planned, the conception of the classical school as a place to teach mathematics and the classics, with the aim of pre- paring pupils for college, was prevalent. The modern conception of the High School as a place for fitting pupils for active participa- tion in the affairs of life has come upon us, and we find ourselves trying to adopt the new under conditions of the old. We have extended manual training into the High School, but no opportun- ities for vocational training have been offered the girls. I am con- vinced that the course of study in our High School offers insuffi- cient opportunity for training in lines that are designed to equip young women to become efficient home makers. Commissioner Snedden says:
"All women in civilized society should be workers and pro- ducers, and in order that they may work and produce well they should have training along the special lines of their aptitudes and probable fields of vocational effort. When it is said that all women should be workers and producers it is, of course, understood that the largest single vocation for women is that of home making, with all that that implies. Consequently vocations for women may be divided into two classes - the home making and the wage- earning.
145
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
"The peculiarly difficult problem in the vocational education of girls arises from the fact that almost all women will and, in the nature of the case, must prepare for each of the above classes of vocations. The average American girl under present social con- ditions must serve a part of her life as wage-earner and the major portion of her life as home-maker. The larger majority of Ameri- can girls today are wage-earners from fifteen and sixteen to per- haps twenty or twenty-one years of age, after which they under- take home-making as a career. If they enter upon the wage- earning occupations with no preparation they are destined to have low wages and incur the dangers of being exploited as many are at the present. If they enter upon the subsequent vocation of home- making without preparation the conditions are disastrous to health and to the home."
Our commercial course answers in a measure the demand for vocational training of girls. Pupils who have graduated from our commercial course find ready employment at good wages. Sev- eral of our 1910 graduates began working at ten or twelve dollars a week. We have, however, no courses which fit for what is usually the final life-vocation of our girls.
The present building can hardly be made to answer the require- ments of such courses as we need, but we should have in mind the necessity of providing as soon as possible courses in embroidery, dressmaking and millinery, cooking, including the preparation of foods, the chemical nature and relative values of food materials, dietetics, and home economics. No doubt we shall have to meet time and again the argument that it is the business of the home to provide this instruction. In reply it may be said that though it may be the duty of the home, the conditions of social life are so complex and, with the masses, the struggle for existence is so acute that, in the vast majority of homes, such instruction is totally impossible. Again, there are very few homes in which the mother is trained sufficiently to give the advanced instruction that the scientific home-making of these times demands.
VACATION SCHOOL.
It has been apparent for some time that many children who are unable to go away during the long vacation have been a burden to their parents, to their neighbors, and to themselves during the
146
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
hot summer days. The Police Department has been called time and again to investigate mischievous or malicious actions on the part of boys who are not inherently bad, but who are spoiling for something definite to do. Habits of idleness and heedlessness are formed during the vacation which show themselves in un- satisfactory work when vacation is over. Children are always happy when they are employed, especially when they are making something. The creative instinct is strong in youth.
Last spring it was evident that the School Committee had no funds with which to establish a vacation school, so efforts were made to raise sufficient money from societies and individuals to make such a school possible. The project met with immediate response. The Clover Lend-a-Hand, the Sowers' Lend-a-Hand, and prominent citizens at once gave assurance of help. The bal- ance of a fund raised for the sufferers from the earthquake in Italy, which was not sent because no more funds were needed, was turned over for the use of the vacation school by the Trustees. These generous contributions made the school possible.
The school opened in the Russell building on July 6, with one hundred ninety-two pupils enrolled. The total enrollment for the summer was two hundred twelve, and the average attendance was one hundred sixty-seven, which was all that could be accommo- dated and looked after by the teachers. The building was open for school exercises from nine to twelve, five days a week, and the playground was in constant use until five o'clock in the afternoon. The school lasted for five weeks. There were classes in wood- working, basketry, sewing, crocheting, knitting, hammock making, cane seating of chairs, and a class made up of children who had lost their promotion or who were promoted upon condition, or who were endeavoring to skip a grade. The children were interested and well behaved. The results far exceeded our anticipations. On August 10 an exhibition of the work accomplished was held in room seven of the Russell School.
While teachers in the school building were busily engaged with classes the playground instructors, Mr. Colton and Miss Whitte- more, were in charge of. groups of children on Russell Park, giving instructions in gymnastics and organized play. Work was con- tinued with the boys in the afternoon on the playground, and many not enrolled in the school were able to enjoy. the games.
147
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Here the boys were organized into baseball teams, track teams, and basketball teams. In baseball there were eighty-one boys organized into nine teams, forming two leagues. There was a league game every day, and a pennant made by the girls of the sew- ing class was won by the "Beacon Stars."
The work done in the school was planned to be not only interest- ing, but it was so arranged that the things made in every depart- ment were of practical value in the home. In woodwork the boys made knife boxes, nail boxes, clothes reels, tables, book racks and desks. In basketry, trays, work baskets, waste baskets, handker- chief boxes, besides raffia-covered pillows, napkin rings and pic- ture frames were made. In sewing the girls were taught to hem towels and dusters, to make work bags, aprons, underclothes, shirtwaists and dresses. Eight pretty and practical summer dresses were made. The girls were taught to run and care for a sewing machine and also to press clothes. Fifteen full-sized, strong, cord hammocks were made by boys and girls, and thirty- five girls learned to crochet and knit. Shawls, bed slippers doilies and neckties were crocheted. The knitting of neckties and face cloths was taught. Fifteen chairs were brought from homes by boys and reseated, sandpapered, and varnished by the owners. Fifty different pupils were enrolled in the class for children who needed help in school work. Of these, thirty either secured a promotion otherwise lost, removed conditions, or succeeded in completing work enough to enable them to skip a grade. The attendance in all the classes was surprising. Forty-seven pupils were not absent a session, while twenty-one others were absent but once.
The work was planned for children of nine years and over. Many mothers came with younger children and begged that they be admitted, but it was impossible with the teaching force. Sev- eral children walked every day to the school from Henderson, Teele and Lake Streets, and a few came from the Heights. I believe the school should be held next summer, for it answers a real demand.
The school was in charge of Joseph E. Owens, a teacher of man- ual training in Brookline who has had fifteen years' experience in vacation work, and a large part of the success of the school was due to his energy and tact. Too much credit cannot be given the
148

teachers for their enthusiastic and devoted efforts to make the school work valuable and the atmosphere homelike. The or- ganization was as follows: Joseph E. Owens, principal, wood working; Harriet N. Bishop, basketry; Abbie M. Russell, sewing; Mary E. Jones, crocheting, knitting, hammock making; Eva G. Jones, studies; Ellen E. Sweeney, studies; N. E. Whittier, cane seating; Charlotte Whittemore, playground instruction; Henry Colton, playground instruction.

SCHOOL SAVINGS.
The law requires that we teach thrift in our schools. The best way to do this has been found to be through some system of sav- ings carried on in the schools. I wish to call your attention to the advisability of establishing a system of stamp savings in the schools of Arlington. To do this in such a way that it will not put an additional burden upon the teachers I am seeking the co- operation of the Woman's Club and of the Arlington Savings. Bank. I shall present within a few weeks a plan in detail for your consideration. "Certainly self-support and its concomitant, self-respect, are to be preferred to the other course; and the young should understand this, for it is in youth that habits are formed.".
LOCKE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.
Every advance in our educational enterprise opens up new opportunities and new responsibilities. The people, parents who
149
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
have children in the school, need to be enlightened as to what we are doing and why we are doing it. It is difficult to get a chance to tell them, but we feel that they must learn to appreciate the educational opportunities provided and to take advantage of them. The formation of the Locke School Association furnishes the Heights with the opportunity for enlightenment, for consultation, and for debate on school problems. This association was formed this year and plans to conduct its work on broad lines. I have no doubt that it will be a help and stimulus to the teachers and pupils of the Locke School, as well as of great value to the entire com- munity. I hope soon to see an association of this kind in every school district.

During the year a Teachers' Club has · been organized with the following officers : President, J. F. Scully; vice-president, F. C. Mitchell; secretary, Mary F. Scanlon; treasurer, Augusta A. Jack- son. Eighty-five per cent of the teachers belong to the club which has for its object professional improvement and social enjoyment. It is a live organization and is furnishing opportunities for thor- oughly enjoyable meetings of the teachers.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find upper-grade teacher's for the salaries we have to offer. This does not arise from the fact that our standards are higher for upper-grade teachers than for those in the lower grades. It is not a question of comparison of ability, but of natural fitness for the work, of training, and of temperament. We do not demand better teachers for the upper grades, but teachers who are as well fitted for these grades as pri- mary and intermediate teachers are for theirs. A shortage of upper-grade teachers now exists. When vacancies occur in our upper grades we should be able to offer the maximum salary, if necessary, to get teachers well fitted by temperament and prep- aration for the work we require.
I cannot close this report without a word of appreciation of the faithful service of the teachers of our Town. With skill and pa- tience and loving devotion they are doing a noble work. No financial reward which this community may offer can ever ade- quately compensate the worthy teachers. Many, reading this, will entirely agree with me, and dismiss the subject from their
151
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
minds. It should be remembered that these teachers must be supplied with the material basis for living the lives which the community expects them to lead. Every teacher must have good food, comfortable shelter, respectable clothes, means of profes- sional advancement, and means of wholesome recreation. Again, she must have that tranquillity of mind which comes from a free- dom from worry about possible sickness and a dependent old age, if she would meet her class in the right frame of mind. If she has not these things, she suffers and the result of this is that the children suffer more. There is no escape from this. It is a re- sponsibility absolutely incumbent upon a community to see that teachers are rewarded financially so that they may be reasonably free from anxiety about the future. We should ask frequently if our Town is doing all that it should in this direction.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the loyal support of both principals and teachers to whom is due in large measure the credit for the progress we are making. The wise counsel and hearty encouragement of the members of this Com- mittee has greatly helped in the problems of administration, and for your support and sympathy I cordially thank you. With the present unanimity of effort the future of our schools looks bright.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SCULLY, Superintendent of Schools.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Mr. John F. Scully, Superintendent of Schools, Arlington:
I herewith submit my report as School Physician for the year ending December 31, 1910.
The total number of pupils examined is 1385. This is almost the exact number examined in 1908, and slightly less than last year. Of these 294 were examined as to vaccination, and all but seven either had a scar or presented a certificate of physical in- firmity.
152
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
During the year 73 pupils were excluded temporarily, either on their own account or for the general good. There was one case each of nausea, chicken pox, ringworm, suspicion of scarlet fever, scarlet fever, exposure to diphtheria and heart failure; two each of sore throat, tonsillitis and exposure to measles; four cases of mumps; five cases of acute conjunctivitis or pinkeye; seven cases of failure to be vaccinated after notification ; nine cases of exposure to scarlet fever, ten cases of itch and twenty-two of pediculosis. There were also three cases of accidental injury, one cut of hand, one cut of head and one fracture of the radius, occurring at home but not recognized as a serious condition.
Many cases showing symptoms of defective hearing and vision, also of obstructed breathing have been examined and in all cases demanding it, the parents have been notified and advised to con- sult the family physician at once. The warning has generally been heeded and much good has been accomplished in these cases. The question of defective teeth is more difficult. A much smaller proportion of parents have been led to attend to aching and de- cayed teeth, to the great benefit of the sufferers. But it is still a deplorable fact that the mouths and teeth of two-thirds of the school children are in an unhealthy condition. It is very desirable to form some plan, either by a board of examining dentists or otherwise, for their relief. It is very difficult for pupils suffering from aching or ulcerated teeth to become very deeply interested in their work. The secondary effect of chronic indigestion is accountable for many an indifferent or backward child.
Great care, as ever, has been exercised by the teachers and my- self in the detection and exclusion of all disease of a contagious nature. Fortunately there have been no large outbreaks in the Town during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES F. ATWOOD, M.D.
