Report of the Superintendent of Schools
For the Year Ending January 31, 1910.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE:
In compliance with Chapter II, Section 7, of the rules of the school committee, which directs that the superintendent "shall make an annual report to be pub- lished with the report of the board," I present this, the nineteenth annual report of the superintendent of schools.
LOSS AND GAIN.
While our educational losses have been few, our gains are hardly what a year in this progressive age should have brought forth. There has been no lack of activity along the established lines, but in the newer and the larger concerns of the public schools, such as richer moral instruction ; freer scope for the individual; fuller re- sponse to the demands of industrial and domestic train- ing ; more conscious reference to the times when our boys and girls will be men and women; concerted study of the really great questions in education ; closer and more pro- ductive relations with the community-in such things as these the close of the year finds us too near its begin- ning. Let us make the year 1910 conspicuous for its achievements in these more modern directions.
The more important events of the year will now be narrated.
Lincoln Centenary. On Friday, Feb. 12, the pupils marched en masse to the Opera house where was celebrat- ed the one hundredth anniversary of Lincoln's birth. The following program was carried out under the direction of the late Rudolph S. Sommers, patriotic instructor of Post 60, G. A. R., and the superintendent of schools.
