ESTIMATE FOR SCHOOLS
Following is an estimate of the amount of money that will be needed for all public school purposes for the year 1903-4.
The amount for our own schools is the same as last year, but for tuition for pupils attending High school it is $424.00 more, thus increasing the total amount for this year. But as long as we do not have a High school of our own we must send our scholars out of town and pay their tuition, as provided for by State law.
Amount needed for our own schools, $4,700 00
Amount needed for High school pupils, 1,720 00
Amount needed for transportation of scholars, 650 00
$7,070 00

REPORT OF TRUANT OFFICER
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF HAMILTON :
Gentlemen : I herewith submit my report as truant officer for the year. I have notified scholars five times to attend school, have notified parents three times to have their children attend school, and have taken two scholars from the golf ground to school. I have found the master of the golf grounds always ready to assist me by giving me notice whenever he thought there was anyone on the grounds who was playing truant.
Yours truly,
GEORGE T. LITCHFIELD.

SCHOOL REPORT
Since the last annual report of the committee was made a new arrangement for the supervision of our schools has been effected as required by a law of the state which compels all the smaller towns to form school districts, comprising not less than twenty- five nor more than fifty schools, for the purpose of employing a superintendent.
On the first day of last April members of the several school boards of the towns of Ipswich, Essex, Wenham and Hamilton, met at town hall, Ipswich, and formed a school district composed of said towns.
A permanent organization was effected by the selection of Mr. George W. Tozer, chairman, Mr. John H. Cogswell, secre- tary.
A sub-committee, composed of the chairman or the several school committees, was appointed to receive and examine all ap- plications for the position of Superintendent of Schools.
A large number of applications were received and given care- ful consideration. From these a few candidates were selected and invited to appear before the full board, at a meeting to be held at Ipswich, April 22, when the sub-committee would make their report.
The four candidates invited attended the meeting and were given a thorough examination, and all were found to be fully qualified for the position. Selection was made of Mr. Andrew S. Thomson, who entered upon his official duties July 1, 1902.
No large expenditures have been made on the school build- ings the past year.
Wire guards have been put on all the basement windows of the South sehoolhouse to protect them from being injured by accident or carelessness of the scholars. Some gravel has also been placed in front of the entrance doors.
Slate blackboards have been put in the Centre, North and West schoolhouses, so that all our schools are now supplied with slate boards.
At the Centre school some mason work has been done and a drive way has been made in the school yard.
Several new desks have been put into the West school room for the use of young scholars.
12
SCHOOL REPORT
The school buildings will not need any large amount of money laid out on them this year. Some of them will need to be painted another year.
For the work and condition of the schools the committee are pleased to refer to the report of the superintendent.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :
Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to submit to you and through you to the people of the town my first annual report as superintendent of schools.
In making a report of this kind it is my endeavor to state as accurately as possible the condition of the schools as to equip- ment and teaching force, also to suggest whatever will promote the efficiency of the work.
It is pleasant to report a very prosperous year in the schools. Throughout the year an excellent spirit has prevailed.
When the schools opened in September, I was glad to find them well organized and graded, with a teaching force able to do progressive work. My effort has been to perfect, as nearly as possible, the organization and to promote the work so well started. A course of study has been prepared and placed in the hands of the teachers. I have endeavored to make the standard of our grades equal to that in other towns of the State. This standard is slightly higher than it has been previously. Raising the stand- ard becomes necessary owing to the increased demands of high schools.
At the present time colleges are demanding for admission a greater amount of work than formerly : this requires more of high schools, which, in turn, demand more of grammar schools. This increased requirement has caused some towns to make the high school course cover a period of five years, and others to put the ninth grade into the high school in the hope of doing enough better work to meet the requirement. This state of affairs puts the schools of Hamilton in a rather peculiar position. At present Beverly takes the pupils of our ninth grade and puts them into its ninth grade, which is a part of its high school Thus it takes our pupils one year longer to go through the grammar and high schools than it does pupils of Beverly. Salem offers a five year's course, but makes it possible for pupils who are well prepared to
14
SCHOOL REPORT
finish the course in four years. One of two things should be done in Hamilton. We should either send from our eighth grade to Beverly, or do sufficient work in our ninth grade to enable our pupils to complete the Salem High School course in four years. Of these two opinions the latter would seem to me the better. If we should shorten our grammar course to eight grades a good many pupils would stop school at the end of that course : thus a year's schooling which they very much need would be lost to them. Moreover with only eight years in school many pupils are too young to go out of town to school; therefore it would be better for them to remain in the town schools for another year. Should this plan be determined upon it will not be possible for one teacher to do all the work of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. An assistant will be needed in the grammar room of the South school. It will be no more expensive to keep the pupils in town, as the cost of the increased teaching force will be more than offset by the tuition in the high schools.
The West, Centre and East buildings have been provided with slate black-boards, which are a great benefit to these schools. The West school could be still further improved by painting and tinting the walls and by replacing the old double seats and desks with new adjustable ones. The old desks are noisy and very un- comfortable. It is difficult and dangerous for a young person whose bones are flexible to sit in a seat where the feet scarcely touch the floor. This is the case in many instances where the old non-adjustable seats are in use.
There is another problem which presents itself to the school authorities of the town : the impossibility of getting the East, West and Centre schools to do as much work as the South schools. This is not due to any failure on the part of the teach- ers. In the district schools the teachers have eight grades to hear each day in nearly all their lessons. This makes the time spent with each individual class very short. At the South, where the teachers have two grades each, much longer time is spent with each class. Also in the larger classes the incentive is greater, inspiring the children to much better work. Hence the children of the South less often fail of promotion than those of the district schools.

SCHOOL REPORT
READING
Reading is one of the most important subjects in our school curriculum, as it is through this medium that knowledge of all other subjects is largely gained. Children are to be taught not only to express to others the thought on the printed page, but also to interpret easily and readily for themselves that same thought. In learning new words a knowledge of word construc- tion is important. No books are used for the first ten weeks of the first year, during which time phonograms and stock words are studied and reviewed from the blackboard .. When the sounds of letters are known, as well as common phonograms, or the com- binations of vowels and consonants generally found together, the child has the tools with which he can learn for himself new words. Since the faculty of mind exercised in learning to read is early developed in children, much emphasis is placed upon this subject in the lower grades. Unless children early learn to read fluently they are greatly hampered with their work in Arithme- tic, Geography and History. If we can inculcate the habit of reading and the taste for good reading, we have given pupils the power of self-improvement which few other subjects bestow. No better assistance can be given in acquiring this ability than a generous supply of the beautiful supplementary readers now pub- lished.
LANGUAGE
Owing to our present mixed population due emphasis must be placed upon a good and correct use of the English language. In our course of study we have laid much stress upon the importance of composition work. In the intermediate grades we place the emphasis upon practice in composition rather than upon learning rules of grammar. Rules of grammar should not be taught-not until the children are old enough to apply them. Constant prac- tice in writing and speaking idiomatic English is the key to better writing and speaking.
GEOGRAPHY
Geography is a difficult subject to make real and one of the most arduous to teach well. It does not require much teaching
.
16
SCHOOL REPORT.
ability to drill children upon the names of cities, places and bodies of land and water ; but to make a class live in a foreign country, to form definite mental pictures of a strange land, requires rare skill on the part of the teacher. In the third and fourth grades a study of local geography is made, in order to draw upon the actual experience and observations of the children. An effort is made to have the children gain an accurate stock of geographical ideas and terms which may be called upon later in the study of distant countries. After the study of local geography the earth as a whole is taken up. Its shape, motions, source of heat and light are first studied, then an outline of the grand divisions is made. All through the subject causal relations are traced and an endeavor is made to form associations in the minds of the children rather than to depend upon the verbal memory for their retention.
REPORT CARDS
The cards which are sent home to the parents, showing the standing and deportment of their children, should be examined with care. The marks on the cards are obtained by combining those received in daily work with those received upon examina- tions given on the ground covered in daily work. Parents may thus see what grade of work their children are doing, and if the marks indicate that this is not satisfactory the matter should be attended to at once. A parent should not wait until the end of the year and then wonder why his child is not promoted. Reg- ular attendance is an important factor in getting children to do satisfactory work. When a child is frequently absent, he be- comes discouaged and his interest lags.
By referring to the Appendix it may be seen that our average per cent. of attendance is only 90, which is too low for a town as favorably situated as Hamilton and with as good roads as it en- joys. The laws of the Commonwealth are very emphatic upon the subject of school attendance.
Children under fourteen, and those under sixteen, if they at- tend at all, are obliged, unless sick, to attend regularly all the time the schools are in session. Parents and guardians are liable ยท to a fine if their children have more than five unexcused absent days in a term of five months.
17
SCHOOL REPORT.
TEACHERS
In September the schools opened with the same teachers as last year with one exception : Miss Effie E. Beal, a graduate of the Boston Normal Art school and a teacher of rich experience, was made principal of the South school. Miss Beal was chosen from a list of excellent candidates, and the choice has proved a wise one. Just before the Thanksgiving recess Miss Cheney of the South Upper Primary resigned to take a position at Melrose, and Miss Olsson of the South Primary accepted a position in Boston. These vacancies were filled by giving Miss Sanborn of the Cen- tre the South Upper Primary and Miss Robie of the West school the Primary. Miss Meade, a graduate of Radcliffe college, was elected to the West school; and Miss Annie W. Chase, a graduate of Framingham Normal and an experienced teacher, was given the Centre school.
All the schools are making good progress with their new teachers.
In January Miss Cutting of the East school was given a leave of absence, and we have been fortunate in securing Miss Kinsman, a resident of the district and an experienced teacher, to substitute in Miss Cutting's absence.
The work of music in the schools is making fine progress under the able supervision of Mrs. Mary E. Robinson. The town is fortunate in retaining the services of so strong and well qualified a teacher as Mrs. Robinson.
The people of the town are urged to visit the schools and make themselves acquainted with the work being done. There is no better way of encouraging pupils and teachers than for the town people to show their interest by frequently calling upon the schools.
When parents and teachers become acquaintances before misunderstandings arise, these difficulties are generally much more easily explained than when acquaintance is made on account of some difficulty or misunderstanding. It is universally true that where the parents are often seen in the schoolrooms the schools are better.
18
SCHOOL REPORT
I wish to thank the teachers for their response to every suggestion and their devotion to the promotion of their schools.
To the committee I wish to express my appreciation for their assistance and kind support.
Respectfully submitted, ANDREW . S. THOMSON, Superintendent of Schools.
