Special emphasis is put upon practical applications of physical laws such as - steam heating of buildings, ventilation, the camera, the telegraph, etc.
THIRD YEAR.
PHYSICS.
I. Time. Five months, two double and one single-period recitations per week. Completion of the work begun in preceding year.
CHEMISTRY.
I. Time. Five months, two double and one single-period recitations per week.
II. Purpose. As in Physics. More stress laid upon logical reasoning since in chemistry, relation between cause and effect may be so clearly worked out.
III. Method of study. This is pre-eminently a laboratory course. Newell's Experimental Chemistry is used as a laboratory guide. Pupils are also provided with copies of Williams Elements of Chemistry for supplementary work. Special stress throughout the course is laid upon practical household applications of chemistry and on common industrial processes. The historical phase of the subject is presented to show how a science is built up and developed.
PHYSIOLOGY.
I. Time. Second half year, three recitations per week.
II. Purpose. This course is designed primarily to meet the requirements for entrance into the State Normal Schools. Pupils
213
electing this subject are advised to elect chemistry also, since a knowledge of chemistry is necessary to an intelligent appreciation of physiology.
III. Method of Study. Overton's Applied Physiology (ad- vanced) is used as a text book. This is supplemented by lectures, classroom experiments, microscopic study of mounted slides and use of the manikin.
FOURTH YEAR.
CHEMISTRY.
I. Time. Five months, completion of work begun in preceding year.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
I. Time. Second half year, four recitations per week.
II. Purpose. (a) To give the pupil information concerning natural phenomena to be seen everywhere about him and enable him to read the language of nature. (b) To get scientific perspec- tive. This subject, coming as it does near the end of the Science Course, affords a splendid opportunity for showing the relation of botany, zoology, physics and chemistry to each other. It gives the pupil an appreciation of the unity of law amidst the endless diversity of natural phenomena.
III. Method of Study. Tarr's Elementary Physical Geography is used. Special stress is put upon the meteorological phase of the subject. Government work upon construction and distribution of weather maps. Weather map received daily. A copy of LeConte's Geology is furnished each pupil and is in constant use. At the end a somewhat detailed study is made of the influence which physio- graphy has had upon the development of nations, especially of Amer- ica.
COLLEGE PHYSICS.
This is a laboratory course, extending through the year, and is designed to meet college requirements.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
It is not an easy matter to bring into the formal lines of a "re- port," the results of a year's work in drawing, for they cannot be measured by certain tangible standards nor along a single line. Who can tell, for instance, how many children have developed and increased during the year the power to recognize and appreciate beautiful things wherever they see them, in nature or art, in a manufactured object for common use, or in a harmony of color? Who can measure the increase in observation, in accuracy, in judg- ment of proportions of lengths or spaces? Yet any or all of these may be considered legitimate results of training in drawing.
A comparison of one year's work with that of the previous year shows good progress, but a longer period makes that progress much more evident. This was brought out very favorably in the biennial exhibition given at the close of the school year in June. The advance was shown most definitely in the design and color work, which, quoting from a report in The Reading Chronicle, was of a high order and attracted more attention and admiration than any other part of the exhibit. The designs were varied in char- acter, the simple stripes, plaids, and surface patterns, in the pri- mary grades, leading to the more complicated designs for rugs, vases, bowls, chocolate pitchers, plates, stained glass windows, and printed fabrics, the work of older pupils."
A new feature of the exhibit was the sloyd work, by the boys
1
215
of the upper grammar grades, which was constructed in the manual training room, under the direction of Mr. H. A. Burrage. Besides the regular sloyd models, many large objects of original design were displayed, which were interesting not only for their practical use but were of artistic value.
A number of sheets of typical drawings, showing the course of instruction through the grades were exhibited later, in the Art De- partment of the Middlesex East Agricultural Association, at their annual fair and received "a very highly commended " award.
A continued interest has been sustained through the year in schoolroom decoration, and several original plans for obtaining money for the purchase of pictures have been developed with grati- fying success. Several schools received pictures as a premium for obtaining fifty or more subscribers to an educational publication, others added to a fund by collecting and selling old rubber material, and by taking orders for soap.
The two eighth grade classes before they left the Highland School gave an afternoon entertainment, and with the proceeds of this they purchased two works of art in plaster for the school hall, Aurora, a relief after Guido Reni, and a statue and pedestal, known as Diana of Versailles. These same pupils, after a few months in the High School, purchased and hung in one of the recitation rooms, a reproduction of a popular picture, entitled " Pharoah's Horses." As a result of interest in the study of Mendelssohn's musical compo- sitions, a fine portrait of the composer was added to the representa- tions of other noted men, which already adorn the walls of the High School rooms.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. M. A. Stone, Supt. of Schools, Reading, Mass.
MY DEAR SIR : -- The general outline of work in music is as follows :
Grades I, II, III. (Primary.)
Rote Songs, Intervals, Singing in all the Major Keys in two three, four and six part time.
Two part singing is fast introduced in the third grade.
Grades IV, V, VI. (Intermediate. )
Interval Drill. Chromatic Scales, divided beat and dotted note, triplet and sub division of time.
One, two and three part singing.
Grades VII, VIII. (Grammar.)
Intervals, Chromatics, Minor Scales.
Exercises and songs in three part and four parts.
In the High School the interest in this subject is excellent. A concert was given by the pupils in the Old South Meeting House on Friday evening, Feb. 1, 1901.
An interesting program was given concluding with the Can- tata, " The Village Blacksmith," by Noyes, with piano, organ and anvil accompaniment.
The school was assisted by the following-Miss Marie Zelezny, violinist ; Miss Alice Seaver, pianist; Miss Margaret Wither, so- prano ; Miss Ella N. Hunt, organist.
217
In order to get the boys and girls more interested in the best music and also to get some idea of the great wealth of musical history and literature that may be enjoyed, we have, in a very small way, started a series of studies of the great composers. My thought in this work is that after four years of High School music, our boys and girls should at least have a speaking acquaintance with the great men who have expressed their highest thoughts in musical form.
Mendelssohn seemed to be a convenient composer to begin with, partly because we had much needed material at hand and partly because he has written so much for the human voices, which is within the range of high schools. At the " Mendelssohn Even- ing " which was given in the Highland School Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 19, several of the scholars read short essays on his life, work, and influence. The School sang several of his part songs. The Overtures, " Midsummer Night's Dream " and " Fingle's Cave " were played on the piano, as well as several of his "Songs Without Words." The School was assisted by Miss Hattie Amsden, by Miss Mamie Pratt as accompanist and pianist, also by Miss Marie Zelezny and Miss Alice Seaver of Boston.
We are now planning another evening with two well known composers, Schumann and Schubert, to be given about the last of March. The result of this kind of work in our High School will without doubt result in a fine interest in the best there is in music.
The High School furnished a chorus of thirty girls to sing for the Grand Army on Memorial Day. Their singing was especially commended and they received an invitation to sing in No. Reading the same evening, which they did.
The graduation music was good, and the chairman of your committee spoke especially of the solo singing of one of the boys.
This work of the High School, however, is very dependent on the work which is being done day by day in the regular school
?
218
work by the regular teacher. Without daily drills in intervals, keys, pitch, rhythm, etc., in all the grades from the first to the eighth, the High School scholars could not have done the work mentioned. It is often this unseen part of our work which should and does receive our best and heartiest support. Nor should we think that all of this elementary work is hard and uninteresting for it is not so. The boys and girls are guided into a right appreciation of good music through the singing of beautiful songs and exercises and in the grammar grades many of the songs are rendered with an artistic coloring of light and shade of tones. All of this part of the work falls on the regular grade teacher and she has done her part well. The Christmas Cantata, " Christmas with the Pixies," was well staged and rendered by the Grammar School under the direc- tions of Miss Alice Barrows, principal.
Your hearty advice and co-operation in all my endeavors have been much appreciated.
F. W. ARCHIBALD,
Supervisor of Music.
