Report of School Committee.
TO THE CITIZENS OF LYNNFIELD : -
We herewith submit our report of the schools during the past year. The reports of the superintendent and the music and drawing instructors following give a detailed statement of the condition of the schools and the work therein. It would be superfluous for us to attempt to add anything in that regard. Your committee feels that the progress made during the past year has been exceedingly satisfactory.
The school buildings and grounds are in very good condi- tion with the exception of a few minor repairs which are neces_ sary from time to time. It would improve materially the appearance of the school grounds at the Centre if the little knoll at the side of the school house was removed. The expense would not be very much and the appearance would be greatly improved.
We have received from the Commonwealth a refund of the amount expended for high school tuition during the school year 1906-1907 and with that amount on hand it will not be neces- sary for the town to appropriate any more for that purpose for the coming year.
We recommend the following appropriation for the coming fiscal year in addition to the amount which we have on hand as shown by our financial report.

Report of Superintendent of Schools.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :
I hereby submit my third annual report of the schools of Lynnfield.
The progress of our schools during the past year has been marked. The effective teaching has revealed this at every stage. We were somewhat hampered since the last report by a change of teacher during the year. This change re- quired the employment of substitutes during the interval which almost demoralized the Centre School. The Commit- tee happily saw this difficulty and courageously met it. We were fortunate to secure the services of Miss Winifred Miller who took charge of the school in March and quickly brought order out of chaos. Under her efficient instruction and management we were able to send five pupils to the High School. The School during the present year has made rapid strides ; pupils are working as never before ; new books have been bought, work has progressed and the school is harmonious and strong. The policy of the Com- mittee in increasing the salaries of all the teachers is com- mendable indeed. These conditions will enable us to retain good teachers and to secure other good ones when it becomes necessary .
Successful parents' meetings have been held, and a deeper interest in all school affairs has been the result. The hearty co-operation of parents with the teachers always results in a better understanding and helps the schools to greater efficiency. Without this co-operation many mis- understandings arise, attendance is lowered, tardiness is
31
increased, and a general lack of interest is manifested. We have been fortunate this year in retaining all of our teachers. Nothing so disorganizes the schools as a constant change of teachers. When committees realize this fully, and realize further that efficient teaching cannot be had to-day for what it cost ten years ago, we will be able to pay a sufficient wage to secure the best teachers. It takes an individual at least six years to fit herself for the minimum requirement -- four years of High School study and two years in the Normal School. This last requirement will be increased in the near future to three years. Here are six years at least, before there is any possibility of earning anything in return. The cost of living has increased from 18 to 20 per cent within 10 years, but the increase of salaries has remained largely the same until within a year. This has made it possible to secure the teachers desired, but it is hoped that the time has come when the work of teaching will be made sufficiently remunerative to attract those who seek other employment, but would make first class teachers because of their superior qualifications-education, refinement, and natural adaptibil- ity. Lynnfield has a keen appreciation of good schools, and the spirit in the community is desirous that they should be the best. Furthermore the people are willing to pay liberally for their support. It is our earnest desire, and it will be our effort to make the schools in every way worthy of this generous support. The Committee and the Superin- tendent are laboring in every way to make the instruction, the surroundings, and the schools come up to the require- ment demanded. The support given the Superintendent and teachers by the Committee is everything to be desired, and we hope that service rendered will be commensurate with that support and interest.
There has been a falling off in the per cent of attendance among the pupils owing to the prevalence of colds, grippe, and in the South School, a contagion of measles, which
32
closed the school for a week owing to the prevalence of the disease which had reached an epidemic.
The number of pupils fitting for the High School is thir- teen at the Centre and three at the South School. During the coming year, however, there will not be as large a num- ber at the Centre, but an increase at the South School. This is owing somewhat to the fact in the first instance, that some families have moved out of the district which removes some pupils in the upper grades.
The drawing and the music in the schools has been fraught with good results. . These subjects are not fads and frills but are in every way uplifting influences for practical good of the pupils. No one can tell how many pupils will find themselves in these subjects and possibly pursue them as factors for a livelihood in the future. Then, too, the immeasurable good which these subjects perform in the use they are in other subjects of the program is not to be over- looked. No child can pursue a course in drawing without using the same to advantage in illustrating the work in mathematics, geography, history, science and the like; in fact it is used in every walk of life, in the home, in business -everywhere. If we will but think a moment-the study of drawing as taught in our schools, has its effect in beauti- fying the home within and without ; our streets, the public buildings, our places of business, our factories-everywhere. Harmony and arrangement of color, and the work of design comes into use both for buying and selling. Every article put upon the market to-day is more or less attractive as it conforms to the principles of the drawing work carried on in our schools. As much might be said for the music Accuracy, precision, harmony, are among the useful results of music. These are felt in all other subjects and remain as part of the equipment of every individual who would make a success in life.
I respectfully call your attention to the reports of the
33
supervisors of these subjects. They are worthy of your attention and careful consideration.

Report of Supervisor of Music.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, Lynnfield, Mass. Dear Sir :
The work of the past year, although showing a gain, has not been accomplished without untiring effort on the part of both regular and special teacher. Whatever good is to be found in our classes is there because the teacher has been faithful and the spirit of the pupil right. The wonderful aptitude found in the pupils and referred to in other reports has brought them quickly to the place where they demand greater things, with careful directing. No task will be too difficult for them.
The three part music of one of the classes has been well spoken of and reflects great credit on the regular teacher.
As occasion demanded, supplemental music has been in- troduced, either in the Coda form or the regular octavo music ; these selections the pupils greatly appreciate.
Some of the schools have assisted in public entertain- ments, ereditably sustaining their parts.
It is to be hoped that nothing will befall the regular teachers this year, as a substitute can seldom do the work of the regular teacher and when one substitute follows another the result in music is disastrous.
Too much cannot be said in praise of individual singing. When a pupil performs anything absolutely independently it is then known what he can do, but when the recitation is done in concert no one knows the ability of the pupil. The
35
amount of individual work performed should increase cach year.
The friends of one of the schools have interested them- selves in the musie, and to encourage the pupils, propose to place a piano in the school room. Great zeal has developed and nearly all are working in some way to help in the good cause. I understand that nearly enough money has been obtained to purchase the piano.
I wish to thank the school authorities for their aid.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. WALES, Director of Music.

Report of Supervisor of Drawing.
MR. J. H. CARFREY, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
My Dear Sir :
The work in drawing this fall and winter shows an ad- vance over that of last year. The attitude of the pupils toward the work is most pleasing and is conducive to the right kind of work. It is an attitude of eager interest. There are quite a few pupils who show a decided liking for drawing amounting almost to talent, and the rest of the pupils are finding that they can learn to draw ; thus a new field of enjoyment is open to them.
During the fall months we drew from nature. These drawings will furnish us with material for our work in de- sign. For a few weeks before Christmas we constructed and decorated useful articles which the children used as gifts for parents and friends at home.
From observation and experience the leading educators of to-day have found that free, imaginative illustrative work is what should be given the lower grade children. This will develop the power of self-expression before the age of self- consciousness holds the child back. Dr. G. Stanley Hall of Clark University, speaks of this pictorial work as "the golden age of drawing."
We have begun a systematic course in color study in all grades. We have also made a beginning in landscape draw- ing, which, it is hoped, will later correlate with the work in geography and language and, of even greater importance, stimulate the aesthetic faculties of the children.
Aesthetic culture owes its educational importance to the fact that it greatly widens and elevates the child's sources of
37
happiness. Art bas a place of pre-eminence as an instru- ment of aesthetic culture. It has been pointed out by writers on education that aesthetic culture is a valuable aid to moral culture, that a child who can calmly contemplate and admire a beautiful object is the better prepared for ap- preciating human actions on their moral side.
We are training the children with the hope that they will become useful men and women in the community where they may be. When once we have set their eyes and imagina- tions in the right direction, we have laid the foundations of future happiness as well as usefulness.
The aim of our course is still kept in mind ; to give
1. Power to sketch any simple object from nature or im- agination.
2. Power to read and make simple working drawings and diagrams, and the use of common drawing instruments -the ruler, compass and drawing board with the T-square and triangles.
3. A sense of good design as embodied in construction and decoration.
4. An facquaintance with and some appreciation of good examples of drawing, painting, architecture and sculpture.
We hope it will be possible to work out some original designs in such materials as leather and brass.
Thanking you and the teachers for your words of encour- agement and hearty co-operation, I am
Very sincerely, MAUDE E. BLACK,
Supervisor of Drawing
