Appreciation of and a taste for good music is cultivated by constant use of the best songs adapted to the various grades, and it is a pleasure to record that the children are receiving thorough musical training under the efficient leadership of the present supervisor, Miss Blanche Samuels.


In all our school work I believe that reading is READING. of the greatest importance; not only the ability to read well, but also acquiring a taste for good books. During the period under review we have added quite lar- gely to our reading lists in all the grades. In this way pupils read a large amount of the best literature in school, and a growing appreciation of good books is showing itself by the number of boys and girls who frequent the Public Library.


Since it has been found that children's minds are capable of appreciating the greatest productions, many adaptations of masterpieces have been made which are very popular with the children.


In the primary grades stories which embody ideals of cour- age, unselfishness, patience and kindness to animals are told them by the teacher. Such stories are selected because children imitate what they admire, and because of the unconscious in- fluence of an ideal upon character. When children have made sufficient observation to enable them to understand them, stories of industry, invention and discovery are told to them or read by them. Children long for stories of adventure, and in recog- nition of this need stories adapted from Robinson Crusoe, The Iliad and The Odyssey, Ivanhoe, The Lady of the Lake and simi- lar selections are read by them with great pleasure. Special use is made of birthdays and holidays in the lower grades, and to some extent throughout all the grades.

Stories from mythology, history and literature have always been used by the greater educators, and now their use is quite general. "Mythology expresses the views of the childhood of the race, and children, it must be remembered, reproduce in every generation the earliest stages of racial growth, and the books put into their hands ought to supply the same substance, however different the form, upon which children were nourished in the days of the Greeks and Romans."


Mythology has furnished themes for our great writers in all ages, and unless children become acquainted with this sub- ject in school, the majority go through life with no appreciation of much of the world's best literature.


At the present time it is not thought sufficient to train the memory, reason and judgment only, but great emphasis is put upon the cultivation of the imagination, the creative faculty, the highest faculty of the mind.


Hence the great value of selected stories from history, lit- erature, mythology, fable, romance and poetry which appeal to the children through their imagination and put them in sym- pathetic relations with the world.


Even ethics, or morals, according to the leading authorities, afre best taught, not by formal instruction or by sermonettes, but by stories illustrating manliness, courage, honesty and sym- pathy for the weak and oppressed, which appeal to the pupil through his imagination.


One of the most prominent educators in America has out- lined three educations as follows :- "The education of the past. which is the classical education which cultivates the intellect. The education of the present, which is the scientific and manual education which cultivates the outward activity as in manual training, kindergarten work, etc. The education of the future, which will include the other two, but will add the education of the heart. Intellect makes a man individual, but feeling makes him universal."


In looking toward the pupils' fullest development, is it not well to make use of the world's rich store of literary treasures, which children fully appreciate when presented to them from their point of view, and which, through an exercise of the imagi- nation, play upon the emotions, and thus tend to educate the heart?


15


We have taken this opportunity to write somewhat at length upon these subjects, as we have reason to believe that their value and the reason for their being in our elementary schools have not been clear to all parents.


In conclusion, we may say that the past five years have been characterized by a spirit of harmony, and we believe by steady progress. This has been brought about by the hearty, intelligent support of the School Committee, in their desire to give to the town the best school system possible, and by their wise, impar- tial administration of all mattters pertaining to school affairs.


Respectfully submitted,


HERBERT E. RICHARDSON.

Report of Supervisor of Music.


To the Superintendent of Schools :-


Dear Sir-In submitting my third annual report, it gives me pleasure to say our schools are advancing in all lines of their work in music.


A subject which is of great interest to us now is: "Do our children hear enough good music outside of what they get in school?" We fear they do not, and for that reason should not the townspeople take it upon themselves that at least two musi- cal performances be given during the year in order that the edu- cation of our school children should be furthered by listening to high class music?


The interest which we arouse in the subject of music in our schools must be,stimulated by the outside influence of the home, and we urge strongly that the parents look into the matter and assist in this grand and good work of educating our children to be the coming generation to represent the American type of music. We urge the parents to encourage every slight inclina- tion in the musical line, for so many in the past have lost the best in music through the mistaken idea that there was no music in their family, hence, the subject was not to appeal to them.


It is with pleasure that we find Professor Parker, of Yale, endorsing just such a line of work as we are following. He says the intellectual side of music is the proper object of study, and the emotional is the result of that which is intellectual.


We hope to start this year a musical library, not alone for our High School, but for all the grades. This side of their musical education has been, to a degree, neglected. This should not be, for many we find have gained their desire to further the


20


study of music through the reading of good books on music. The Town Library has added several books on the subject, and with another year we hope to see a large increase in the number of books for this line of work.


Many give entire credit to the music teacher for results, not taking the work of the grade teacher into consideration. The music teacher visits once a week and the grade teacher carries out the work the other four days, hence it is that the teacher with the supervisor combines for the desired results. On account of numerous changes in the teaching force of the town our work is retarded in some cases, but the new teachers soon grasp the work readily and the work goes on successfully.


In closing, I wish to thank the School Committee, Super- intendent and Teachers for their hearty co-operation.


Respectfully, BLANCHE S. SAMUELS.

· Section 11. The several school teachers shall faithfully keep the registers of attendance daily, and make due return thereof to the school committee, or to such person as the com- mittee may designate.

In reckoning the average membership and the percentage of attendance in the schools, no pupil's name shall be omitted in counting the number of persons belonging to the school and the number of absences of such persons until it is known that such pupil has withdrawn from the school without intention of return- ing or, in the absence of such knowledge, until ten consecutive days of absence have been recorded: but the foregoing provision for computing the average membership and the per centage of attendance shall not affect proceedings against habitual truants, absentees or school offenders, or other persons, under the provisions of section one of chapter forty-four and sections three, four and five of chapter forty-six. A pupil who is not present during at least half of a session shall be marked and counted as absent for that session.

The superintendent of schools or, if there is no superintendent of schools, the school committee, or teachers acting under authority of said superintendent or committee, may excuse cases of necessary absence. The attendance of a child upon a public day school shall not be required if he has attended for a like period of time a private day school approved by the school com- mittee of such city or town in accordance with the provisions of the following section, or if he has been otherwise instructed for a like period of time in the branches of learning required by law to be taught in the public schools, or if he has already ac- quired such branches of learning, or if his physical or mental condition is such as to render such attendance inexpedient or impracticable. Every person having under his control a child as described in this section shall cause him to atttend school as herein required; and if he fails for five day sessions or ten half day sessions within any period of six months while under such control to cause such child, whose physical or mental condition is not such as to render his attendance at school harmful or impracticable, so to attend school, he shall, upon complaint of a truant officer and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars. Whoever induces or attempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school, or employs or harbors a child who, while school is in session, is absent unlawfully from school shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars.

A child who is a member of a household in which a person is ill with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or measles, or of a household exposed to such con-


30


tagion from another household as aforesaid, shall not attend any public school during such illness or until the teacher of the school has been furnished with a certificate from the board of health of the city or town, or from the attending physician of such person, stating that, in a case of smallpox, diphtheria or scarlet fever at least two weeks, and in a case of measles, at least three days, have elapsed since the recovery, removal or death of such person, and that danger of conveying such disease by such child has passed.


Chapter 46.


Section 3. Any child between seven and fourteen years of age who wilfully and habitually absents himself from school con- trary to the provisions of section one of chapter forty-four shall be deemed to be an habitual truant, and, upon complaint of a truant officer and conviction thereof, may, if a boy, be committed to a county truant school for not more than two years and, if a girl, to the state industrial school for girls, unless such child is placed on probation as provided in section seven of this chap- ter.


Section 4. A child between seven and sixteen years of age who may be found wandering about in the streets or public places of any city or town, having no lawful occupation, habitu- ally not attending school, and growing up in idleness and igno- rance, shall be deemed an habitual absentee, and upon complaint by a truant officer or any other person and conviction thereof may, if a boy, be committed to a county truant school for not more than two years or to the Lyman school for boys, and, if a girl, to the state industrial school for girls, unless such child is placed on probation as provided in section seven.


Section 5. A child under fourteen years of age who per- sistently violates the reasonable regulations of the school which he attends, or otherwise persistently misbehaves therein, so as to render himself a fit subject for expulsion therefrom, shall be deemed to be an habitual school offender, and, upon com- plaint by a truant officer and conviction thereof, may, if a boy, be committed to a county truant school for not more than two


31


years or to the Lyman school for boys, and, if a girl, to the state industrial school for girls, unless such child is placed on proba- tion as provided in section seven.

No such child shall be employed at work performed for wages or other compensation, to whomsoever payable, during the hours when the public schools of the city or town in which he resides are in session, nor be employed at work before six o'clock in the morning or after seven o'clock in the evening.
