Our annual events, the exercises in commemoration of Memorial Day and the Graduation of our High School seniors, passed off very successfully, both events reflect- ing much credit on pupils and teachers. Did you ever attend the Memorial exercises ? If not, do so next year
97
and we are sure you will be amply rewarded. It makes such a splendid opportunity for all our schools to come to- gether (the only one during the school year) and each school strives to do its very best. The children look for- ward to it for weeks and the teachers seldom find a child unwilling to speak or sing at Decoration.
And do we not all feel proud as we see those young ladies and gentlemen of our High School take their places on the platform for their graduating exercises ?
After thirteen years of faithful effort now comes their reward. Just think what they must have gained during these years, not alone knowledge from books, but lessons in strength and courage to meet the battles of life. As we hear of the success which has attended many of our graduates since our High School was established we say with pride, "Long live the Norwell High School, may its work prosper more and more and its graduates go out to fill honored places in the community".

Superintendent's Report
To the School Committee of Norwell :-
I herewith respectfully submit my third annual report.
The policies governing the conduct of the schools have not. changed during the past year. My efforts have been directed toward increasing the efficiency of both teachers and pupils.
The school system is constantly before the public mind not in its ordinary aspect as quietly carrying on its function, but as an object for criticism. Criticism is always welcomed when fair, but when it is along fault finding lines it should not be tolerated.
What we need is not less criticism of the public schools, but more carefully considered criticism, the kind of helpful, prac- tical criticism which a man applies to his own business affairs.
The public school is quite a business proposition today. Those in charge must figure as closely as they would in their own interests, not only the financial side but they must save just as much of the childeren's time as possible, putting the minutes gained into something of real future use.
The present time seems to be a period of unrest, and we look for some radical changes in the future.
ATTENDANCE
Regularity and punctuality are doing much for some of the children, and it is the wish of those in charge, that these two
110
school virtues could be so strongly inculcated into the minds of the pupils that a fixed habit would result.
MEDICAL INSPECTION
No disease has become epidemic in our schools the past year, due partly to our system of medical inspection, and to the alertness of those in charge.
"To safeguard the public health by practical attention to the physical condition of the child is the aim of this branch".
Eye and ear tests are accomplishing a vast amount of good, and parents now take notice when an adverse report is sent home regarding their child. Our inspection should go farther and include the teeth.
GENERAL SUBJECTS
A more definite system of penmanship is being tried this year. It is based on the medical slant with muscular move ment. Some good results have been shown. Spelling books were introduced last term, and oral and written spelling are being given thorough trial.
Parents' day in No. 5 showed how the pupils in that school have improved in drawing. The improvement is noticeable in nearly all our schools.
TEACHERS
Three new teachers began work in the grades in September, two at No. 1, and one at No. 6. The teacher at No. 6 accepted a one grade room in Maynard, and left after two months' ser- vice here.
The grammar school at No. 1 is going along smoothly, work- ing on much the same lines as last year. The pupils of this school, encouraged by their teacher, have placed a piano in their room. There may be some doubt as to the wisdom of
111
the manner of securing the necessary funds, but the pleasure derived from the instrument has been very noticeable.
Primary No. 1 was in charge of a new teacher, but on a visit to her home she became infected with scarlet fever. The room is now in charge of Mrs. Martha Ford who had taught the grammar class successfully for some years past.
The appearance of the building and yard is not artistic, and something should be done to improve them.
On the whole the schools are doing fairly well; like our lives there are good and bad days.
HIGH SCHOOL
J. W. McDonald, agent of the Board of Education, visited us in October. He was at his best. He visited each of the teachers during class recitation, and gave some advice regard- ing the benefits of an education, illustrating his points with anecdotes and facts.
The teachers are giving their best efforts to the work, and practical value is being shown in the results.
Progress in education comes slowly. Some parents think nothing is being done, because their boys' conversation is re- garding the fun they have, rather than the lessons they learn.
The work is so organized that direct interference is rarely needed. It is true that when the least is being heard from the schools they are often doing most efficent work.
The advantages of a High School education cannot be too strongly emphasized. Some of our boys are restive under re- straint and are anxious to break away. But past history will show that certain individuals will obtain their education in no other way than by contactwith the world.
"We may test the extent and accuracy of knowledge acquir- ed, and record our conclusions by symbols of one kind or an- other, but the efficent teacherdoes a far higher and more im- portant work. In the awakening of interests, the implanting
112
of motives, in refining the feelings, in training the will; in such activities as these which go far to dertermine what man- ner of men and women the boys and girls now in school shall by and by become, is to be found the true glory of the school"
Our courses are a little broader than last year and a class in German has been added.
On the horizon appears "something" which seems to tell the approach of a change in our courses, and supplementing with physical effort for the training of hand as well as mind. One can never be well educated by means of books alone.
The Commissioner of Education is a firm believer in voca- tional training.
I wish to thank you for your counsel and co-operation, and the teachers for their ready responses to suggestions.
JAMES S. HAYES, Supt. Schools.

Report of High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools :-
Herewith find my second annual report.
Some improvement seems evident. The scholarship of the school as a whole is better than last year; all of the scholars except five seem interested in their work and are therefore, doing about their best. The order is much improved. More seem to desire to attend higher institutions of learning than last year, and all seem to have higher ideals.
German has been placed in the curriculum to meet the re- quirements of higher institutions of learning. Rhetoricals have also been added to give practice in public speaking and in English composition and also to arouse an interest in cur- rent events of importance. An attempt is being made to make the subjects, especially science and mathematics, prac- tical.
More of the sciences directly applicable to rural life both in the house and out or it ought to be taught but this would require a teacher especially prepared for this kind of instruc- tion. It seems as if three or four of the High Schools in this vicinity could jointly employ a teacher for this purpose, thus making the expense small for each.
It is unpleasant duty to call the attention of the citizens of Norwell to the fact that the heating apparatus in the main room is inadequate. When the weather is cold and windy it is impossible to keep this room comfortable enough to study
114
in; near the stoves it is too warm and a few feet away it is too cold. Under such conditions, the air is probably impure. If a furnace should be put in, a laboratory could be easily fitted up in the basement; thus doing away with the necessity of conducting a recitation in one end of a room and having experiments on physics and chemistry in the other.
We take this opportunity to thank the Superintendent, the Committee, the barge drivers and the citizens of Norwell for their kindness and co-operation in our work.
Respectfully submitted,
F. W. Carrier.
Report of Drawing Teacher
To the School Committee of Norwell :- -
I have been asked to write a short report concerning the work in drawing in the schools of Norwell.
It has been my purpose to make the pupils see the value of this work and to put before them, problems which they would be apt to meet, not in the few years which they remain in the protection of home and school life, but when they leave the home influence to provide for themselves.
Although the hours for the subject in drawing are very lim- ited with no special time for manuel training, I have endeav- ored to combine the work. This gives the students practice in drawing objects, as well as some training in the manner of putting parts together.
I have aimed to make the work in the drawing course in- teresting as well as beneficial, and find much better work is accomplished by the pupils who realize the great benefit which is derived from a special subject of this kind. As the classes are coming to appreciate this more and more, the out- look for the future is constantly growing more promising.
