I believe we would secure equally good results if French were used as the language, with the added benefit that it would contrib- ute more to the pupil's advantage in his study of French in High School and to his equipment for later years. With proper facilities for instruction I believe the best results in French could be secured by beginning in Eighth Grade and continuing it throughout the High School course with three periods a week. This would give 600 hours or a full three years course of five periods a week with the gain of beginning at an earlier age, when new means of express- ing thought are naturally attractive.
PHYSIOLOGY
The work in physiology and hygiene is carried on in the Primary Grades by oral work, in morning talks and special lessons as occasions arise.
In the grades beyond these a text book is given the pupils and the work grows more definite as the plan of the Committee of Twelve is followed.
MANUAL TRAINING
Manual training still holds its well earned place in our work as the little ones with scissors find profitable employ in cutting paper and cardboard or in weaving with splints or colored paper.
Beginning with the Fourth Grade more careful work in card- board construction is done while in the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
187
the boys are given sloyd work and the girls at the same time receive instruction in sewing.
I feel that I am entirely within bounds when I state that from no like amount of expenditure per year, about $500, do the schools of Reading derive, on the whole, so great a benefit as from that spent on manual training.
MUSIC
This subject has been efficiently taught in our schools for many years and the results are very apparent in the upper Grammar and High School Grades.
In the Primary Grades rote singing has lately come under the direction of the Supervisor, with the result that a great gain is noticeable in the quality of the music memorized.
In these grades, too, more attention is given to individual work, so that each pupil becomes accustomed to rising and singing alone with as little hesitation as he feels on rising to read or spell, and this carried on in higher grades, as part singing is taken up, develops an independence that is very commendable.
All grades gain from drill in writing exercises in music to show that they have really mastered the simple matters of musical notation.
This certainty in each individual case has a marked effect for good on the chorus work of the older classes.
In the High School, opportunity is given pupils to study harmony and musical composition.
DRAWING
The exercises in drawing are grouped in all the grades in four main subjects, Nature, Construction, Representation and Design. Nature drawing is studied from flowers, sprays of leaves, fruit and vegetables both in the spring and fall. In the Primary Grades pencils and crayons are used, and in the higher grades brush work with ink and water colors is added.
Mechanical drill and constructive work are given in each grade, beginning with the use of the ruler and measuring by inches, half
188
and quarter inches through the Fourth Grade, followed by simple working drawings to scale, some of which are afterwards worked out in the manual training room. Simple objects, quickly made, which are useful in play or for Christmas gifts, or to illustrate other lessons are constructed of paper or cardboard. These give valuable training in neatness, accuracy and dexterity.
Representation or pictorial drawing is made interesting by the study of useful or beautiful objects from school or home. Different mediums of expression are employed, as crayons, water colors and charcoal, the variety continuing the interest from year to year. Some fine landscape drawing in charcoal and water colors has been executed by one of the classes in the High School and has attracted a great deal of attention when posted in the drawing room.
The subject of design is one which interests most pupils as the element of color appeals so strongly to the childish taste. Designs have been made for handkerchief and rug borders, for bowls, pitchers and vases, surface patterns for textiles, book covers and book rack ends. We have not been able to apply many of the designs in arts or crafts but hope it may be possible in the near future.
The beautiful room planned and furnished for drawing in the new High School has been a joy and delight, its convenience, light and beauty being all that could be desired. The quality of work has been much improved by such surroundings and the former confusion and loss in collecting and storing materials have been completely eliminated.
A valuable gift of artistic Japanese pottery has been received for use in this room, and has added much to its attractiveness and to its working facilities.

NORMAL GROUP
190
The general course as outlined above includes all the subjects offered during the several years. From these the student may elect studies aggregating at least nineteen points, five of which must be English, and one of which may be music. A total of seventy-six points must be successfully passed off before the diploma of the school will be granted. Owing to the varied requirements of the different colleges and scientific schools for admission, and the latitude of choice allowed even in the same college, it is impossible to lay down a fixed course for preparation for higher institutions. In the college, scientific, and normal groups, are presented the studies which are required for entrance into the various institutions for which our students prepare. From these groups may be elected the individual courses necessary to prepare for any college, scientific school or normal school in the country, and from these courses students can be, and are, prepared to enter without condition Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Massachu- setts Inst. of Tech. or any of the smaller colleges or normal schools. The so-called "commercial" subjects are fitting many students for office work, and it is possible for any bright student to fill a situation of fairly arduous requirements as stenographer immediately upon graduating from this department. A course in harmony, comprising one hour a week for one year is also offered, open to all classes, and for this, one point is allowed.
HOME GARDENS
A good number of our pupils were interested to carry on the work in gardens at home, and give a description of their exper- iences on the opening of schools.
Garden Day, which was held near the last of September, showed keen interest in the work and a marked success in raising flowers and vegetables.
Prizes were awarded to a large number of children by the president of the Woman's Club, and several were awarded by the Horticultural Society of Boston for excellent work done here at home, one receiving first prize.
191
We are under great obligation to the Woman's Club to whom is due the honor of the inauguration of this work, and to Miss Olive Prescott who has given much thought and personal super- vision to it. The work merits the hearty support of all, for by it all children who undertake it derive a benefit that comes from doing something calling for patient work according to the laws of vegetable life, and patient waiting for the fruitage.
By continued cooperation of home, school, and interested organizations we shall continue to derive still greater good from this branch of educational work.
HUMANE EDUCATION
This story may seem one that is hardly entitled to space in another school report, but inasmuch as this has as much to do with the proper training of the future citizen as the instruction given in Latin or Algebra, I venture to report that we are still fostering this work and are finding fertile soil into which we cast the seed that is even now, in school days, yielding the fruits of kindness to the lower orders of animals and respect and kindly deportment towards their elders. If exceptions to this rule can be instanced, please consider how many fail to become expert workers in mathe- matics, in science, or in other purely intellectual work. Perhaps we shall find that fully as great results are secured in this line of teaching as in the strictly scholastic work.
STAMP SAVINGS
So far we find no instance of the development of the sordid, miserly spirit from the experience of our work in this department, but on the other hand there are many cases in which the accumula- tion resulting by Christmas time or a little earlier has proved suffi- cient to purchase the new shoes needed, or the mittens for a brother or sister, possibly the product of both influences, humane education and stamp savings.
It will be interesting to learn that during the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1906, the amount laid by for a longer or a shorter period was $589.54.
192
I am sure many learn to understand the meaning of saving the small sums of money by this plan of investing the pennies in stamps instead of spending them for trifles.
In the planning of this work and in directing the same I am greatly indebted to the cordial support of the committee and to the harmonious cooperation of my teachers, for which I wish here to express my hearty thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVILLE A. STONE, Superintendent of Schools.
