School and going on to higher institutions of learning.
Manual work consisted of table mats, reed mats and baskets, photograph holders, caning chairs, raffia bags, plain sewing and making plain and fancy aprons. Much more could be done if time and accommodations offered.
Vocational courses and vocational training still continues to be an absorbing topic in educational thought. Schools are being founded and laws are being enacted through which young men and women may be the better able to en- ter upon some occupation after leaving school. The school proposes to give training for life. A new agricultural law was passed at the last session of the legislature, providing for agricultural departments in existing high schools. Har- wich High School has made application for such a depart- ment. Such a school in Harwich will serve the needs of the lower Cape. Graduates from this course will receive high school diplomas. The time plan is one practiced in several vocational schools. One half time in school and one half time in the practice of agriculture at the homes of the pupils-supervised by a scientific agriculturalist.
Here is a grand opportunity for many boys to prepare themselves for a life work. Further information as to daily sessions, courses, tuitions, instruction, etc., will be gladly given upon request.
It is hoped that several of the towns in this section will be represented at the outset, provided the school starts in March next, as there is every reason to hope that it will.
Attention is called to attendance statistics and other data included in this report.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the
57
School Committee, teachers and parents for their co-operation and untiring effort in behalf of the children.
Respectfully submitted, LORING G. WILLIAMS.
