The banner for best attendance has been assigned monthly as follows : Long-Sought-For, three times; Parkerville, twice ; Nabnasset, twice; Graniteville Intermediate, once ; Wright, once.
AGE AND SCHOOLING CERTIFICATES.
Mr. Arthur Wright has been designated by the Superintend- ent to sign age and schooling certificates at Graniteville, and Mr. George H. Prescott at Forge Village. For the period covered by this report Mr. Wright reports eight certificates issued ; Mr. Prescott reports twenty-three.
The work performed by these gentlemen is important and sometimes burdensome, in the performance of which philan- thropic motives alone actuate them, as they are by law prohibited from receiving any fees for their services.

SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.
Of last year's teachers eight are still in charge of the same schools ; two others are on the list, but in different schools. Of the five remaining teachers three have been in their positions through the entire year. Thus it will be seen that comparatively few changes have been made, a fact that has contributed, in no small degree, to the general prosperity of the year.
Three or four teachers attended the Martha's Vineyard Sum- mer School last season. Teachers have been interested to visit schools in other places, not only when they would thereby take the time from their own schools, but also during vacations. Teachers have, perhaps with but one exception. been faithful in attending the teachers' meetings, and have shown a willing spirit in incorporating into their daily work the suggestions there received. Teachers have also subscribed for and read educational journals. In some instances they have purchased books upon the principles and methods of teaching. Thus it may be said in a general way that teachers have done something for their self-improvement, to render their services more valuable to the town.
Probably it would not be wide the mark to say that while all the schools have felt the impetus of efforts made in their behalf, yet, owing partly to the conditions to which they are subject, a decided improvement is noticeable in only a portion. For the most part, the degree of success attained measures quite accurately the teacher's qualifications for her work. A partial exception is found in the mixed schools, which are either so small as to lack the ordinary incentives to good work, or, being of good size, have so many classes as to make exorbitant demands upon the time and strength of the teacher.
The increase in salaries of the teachers for the graded schools has been an act of justice, has not lessened the zeal with which they have prosecuted their work, and has made it easier for us to compete with other towns in securing and retaining acceptable teachers for our most difficult schools.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
These have been maintained monthly, as in former years, the second one of the fall term being replaced by the teachers' conven- tion at Ayer, which our teachers attended. One meeting each term is appointed at the Centre, the others at Graniteville. In the
15
building where the meeting is to be held, school keeps on the afternoon of that day until nearly two o'clock, and teachers from other schools are expected to visit in these schools until the time for the meeting.
At each of these meetings for three years, a half-hour lesson in Swedish gymnastics has been given to the teachers by Mrs. Barker. For this purpose she has given a half-day of her time and her services each month, and this word of public recognition would seem her due. The teachers have appreciated this part of the pro- gram, have been interested to take the exercises, and in many schools the subject has been taught faithfully and with very good results. Its importance is second to none, for a healthy body is the prime requisite of a sound mind.
COURSE OF STUDY.
During the year the revision of the course of study has been completed in the directions outlined last year. Phonics for the first and second years have received special attention. The history of the Town of Westford has been taken up in the grammar grades, as a feature of their weekly history work.
The systematic analysis of sentences has been developed, be- ginning with the fourth grade.
The introduction of Frye's geographies has done something to supplement the course of study in that subject, furnishing proper matter and directing attention to, in fact, necessitating, good methods of instruction.
But the great innovation in the course of study during the year has been the introduction of music under a special teacher. This has met with success from the start. The music teacher plans the work and shows the regular teacher how to carry it on. When the music teacher enters, all other work is laid aside, and both teacher and pupils give their attention solely to her. In this, just as in other branches, good results are obtained only where the teachers are efficient,- keeping good order and working faithfully and methodically.
In one school the older children have aided the teacher by training the younger ones, either in the rear of the room, or in the grove near by.

GRADUATION EXERCISES.
In June a class of thirteen was graduated from the seven years' public school course. A program of the exercises will be found at the end of this report. The parts were performed by the pupils with credit. Dr. W. J. Sleeper, Secretary of the School Com- mittee, presided. Mr. John T. Prince, Agent of the State Board of Education, honored the occasion by his presence and an address. After remarks by others the diplomas were presented in a felicitous manner by the Chairman of the School Committee, Mr. A. J Abbot.
A statement may be pertinent here as to the meaning of these graduation exercises. Nine years is the usual length of the com- mon school course required to prepare pupils for admission to standard high schools. A few towns shorten this time to eight years and maintain substantially the same standard as the nine years' course, by being more severe in the requirements for pro- motion from grade to grade.
Now, in establishing a course of study of but seven years for our schools - mixed schools with seven grades, all under one teacher, or grammar schools with three grades-it should not for a moment be imagined that we expect to do the work of a standard eight or nine years' course in seven years. We are not so much smarter than the other towns of our commonwealth, nor are our opportunities so much in advance of theirs, as to make it possible for us to do in seven years that for which all the world beside needs eight or nine years. Least of all is it worth our while to pretend to do that which, in the nature of the case, is impossible.
These graduation exercises are intended to indicate one fact,- that the graduates have pursued with success the course of study as laid down at present through seven years. That is what it meant last year, that is what it will mean this year, and what it must continue to mean, from the very nature of the case, until the town can make provision for the instruction of these pupils through an added eighth year, in an additional school.
THE ACADEMY.
The advantages of a higher institution of learning in a town are very great. When its doors are thrown open to all young people of the town of requisite attainments, without any charge for tuition or expense for books, its invitation to come and study
17
becomes so hospitable that young people not only cannot afford, but are not likely, to forego its offered advantages. That such has been the development of the year in our own town is a cause for sincere congratulation ; while the erection, in the immediate future, of a new school building for the Academy will add much to the attractiveness and efficiency of this time-honored institution.
NEEDS OF THE SCHOOLS.
These, in the nature of the case, are many and important, but none perhaps more than the following :
I. An additional school at the Centre. The class to be grad- uated from the seven years' public school course in June next, needs another year of instruction and drill upon grammar school studies before taking up high school work in the Academy. In the past this grammar school work has been pursued, as a make- shift, in the Academy. But the nature of the work is that of the common schools and the subjects should rightly be acquired there before entering the Academy. What provision shall be made for this class next fall? It may be of interest to cite the way in which Littleton, our neighboring town, has settled this very question. Five years ago there were three teachers at the Centre, High, Grammar and 'Primary. Now there are five, two more at the Centre, but two less in the outlying districts. The High School is doing strictly high school work with two teachers, while an Intermediate School has been established between the Grammar and Primary Schools.
II. The school year should be lengthened to thirty-six weeks.
III. The appropriation for school books should be increased. The lack has been especially felt in the matter of reading books this year, a study of the highest importance and requiring an ample variety of suitable reading matter for the best results.
The needs of the schools thus far discussed may be characterized as favoring conditions. While they are only such, yet they are rea- sonable and necessary. What would be thought of a man who fur- nished his children with bicycles or ponies for their pleasure, but whose wife still " fetched water" by the bucketful from the spring below the hill, or spent half her time feeding the kitchen fire with light brushwood for fuel ! The windmills dotting our rural land- scape prove that thought and money have been spent in improving the conditions under which household work is performed. The
18
school-house work, too, should share in this general improvement. It is not pertinent to tell how schools were conducted years ago under different circumstances. As the conditions have changed, we do but justice to the schools when we apply the same degree of helpfulness to the education of the children of to-day that we do to their recreations and to household toil of the family.
IV. But the greatest need of our schools is better teaching. Appropriations of money, buildings, supplies, committee-meetings, courses of study, supervision, teachers' meetings, all have their direct influence upon the school only through the teachers, and sadly miss their mark if they do not result in teaching, either of the highest efficiency and character, or of a constant growth in these respects. Unquestionably these expenditures do fall short in many cases of reasonably good results.
Ill health, burdensome home duties, lack of energy, of ambi- tion, of appreciation of a teacher's opportunities and responsi- bilities, a dissipation of time and strength in social engagements, a lack of professional training, and sometimes of adequate academic education ; above all, a lack of scholarly spirit, studying in prepara- tion for each day's work,-studying for greater usefulness,-studying for the delight it affords ; so, too, a failure to study ahead beyond the next day's requirements, and, thus, not appreciating the rela- tion of each day's work to that of the whole term, or year ;- these are some of the causes of poor teaching, personal to the teacher, and largely within her power to remove.
Better teaching is our greatest need.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding this report I wish to speak in high terms of the devotion and faithfulness exhibited by the teachers; my apprecia- tion of the active interest and participation in the school work displayed by the committee ; and my conviction that the time is at hand when an enlightened and prevalent public sentiment must and will demand that advance steps be taken to place before every child in the town of Westford as many aids and allurements to self- improvement as are furnished anywhere in the Commonwealth.
EDMUND P. BARKER, Superintendent.
REPORT OF MUSIC TEACHER.
The first year of instruction in music in the public schools of Westford is drawing to a close and it is well to look back and see what has been accomplished.
The work has been so arranged that I have seen each teacher every other week.
From the beginning my aim has been to teach sight-reading ; that is, that the pupil should be able to take a piece of music in whatever key it is written and sing it at once, just as he would read a story at sight.
We first teach the scale as a whole and then develop the various intervals of the scale by combining the sounds in all ways. If this work has received careful attention, the pupil is now ready to commence the reading of notes in the key of C, and, in a short time, will be reading easy music in the nine different keys. The rhythmical characters of two, three and four part measures have been established by constant drill.
A little boy was asked where he went to school, and he replied, " In the place of beginnings." He had heard the primary school called a place for beginners ; and just here, in the primary school, is where we work slowly, but very surely, to lay a firm foundation for all subsequent work.
In the grammar classes, when music is first introduced, we expect to meet with some obstacles which will be overcome as the grade of the work is raised from year to year.
We always meet with a number of boys and girls who have been told that they cannot sing until they honestly believe it. Another class of voices cannot take a given pitch, or do not respond at all when asked to sing higher or lower, while other voices may be harsh and unmusical. But in neither one nor all of these instances combined, have we proved that the child cannot be taught to sing correctly and sweetly. Time and tone-perception can be taught just the same as weight, distance, color, memory. We teach the children to sing softly ; our aim being quality rather than quantity. In order that this work may be well done, it seems to me absolutely necessary that the teacher should have a correct
20
ear, either natural or acquired, that she may know if her class gives correct tones
The teachers have worked with me so faithfully that I cannot close this report without saying that to them is due the measure of success that has been attained.
Respectfully submitted, MRS. GATES LOCKHART.
