Report of the Committee in Charge of the Whitney Playground.


The work of completing the playground was taken up in the spring, and with the planting of the trees and shrubbery, has now been finished.


Through the further generosity of Mrs. Whitney, and upon her own suggestion, nine large concrete settees, which add mater- ially both to the usefulness and beauty of the field, have been placed thereon, and also twelve movable settees supplied.


There has also been installed a concrete drinking fountain, which has already proven that the playground would not have been complete without it.


Your committee, after giving the matter consideration, and consulting with the teachers, decided that the most appropriate manner in which to dedicate the grounds would be through exercises participated in by the school children, and Saturday, May twenty-seventh, the following exercises were held with that purpose.

4. MARCH-2 o'clock.


5. SUNBONNET BABIES.

The day was an ideal one, and about five hundred people gathered to enjoy the afternoon exercises, which were conducted in a manner reflecting great credit upon the teachers and pupils as well.


The following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures in connection with the grounds.

Report of the School Board.


To the Citizens of the Town of Westford :-


The School Board herewith submits its annual report, together with the reports of the Superintendent of Schools, the Principal of the High School, Supervisors of Music and Draw- ing, Medical Inspector and Truant Officers.


Owing to the insistent demands of the State Inspector of Buildings, it was found necessary to make a change in the sani- tary arrangements at the Sargent School. As the request of the inspector was that water-closets should be installed in the basement, this made it necessary to construct another staircase and make an additional cesspool, together with other alterations.


The work was done during the summer vacation and we now have three good four-room buildings with up-to-date heating, ventilating and sanitary arrangements.


The Trustees' room in the Academy, being no longer used by the Trustees, has been given up to the School Committee, who have fitted up the room as an office for the Superintendent, and Mr. Hill may be found there by any who may wish to consult with him on every Tuesday afternoon, from two to four o'clock, during the time the schools are in session.


At the request of the State Board of Education, a new superintendency union has been formed during the past year, by which the Town of Carlisle has been added to the former union of the three towns of Acton, Littleton and Westford. This new arrangement has some disadvantages, but after con- siderable discussion with an agent of the state board, the joint committee of our former union finally decided that the present arrangement is the best that the state could make in order to provide supervision for the Town of Carlisle.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.


Gentlemen of the Committee:


Following is my second report, it being the twentieth in the series of such annual reports.


A survey of the work accomplished in Westford schools during the year leads me to affirm that it has been, on the whole, very satisfactory. This is due largely to the fact that competent teachers have been employed and that few changes in the teaching force have been made. It is to be regretted that Miss Fisher was obliged to take a leave of absence on account of illness, but the work has been carried on with little friction by Miss Clara Smith, with the assistance of Miss Edith Forster. Miss Fisher's devotion to the William E. Frost School, her enthusiasm for the professional side of the work, and her energy in planning and carrying out large projects for the good of the school led to her breakdown. I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of her devotion to the school, my sympathy in her present illness, and my hope of a speedy recovery and return to the work that she loves. The vacancy caused by Miss Jantzen's resignation at Graniteville was filled by transferring Miss Stinson from Nabnasset, and the vacancy thus caused at Nabnasset was filled by the election of Miss Marietta O'Neil, a graduate of the Lowell Normal School and a teacher of a year's experience.


The work at Graniteville was strengthened by giving Miss Dunn grades one and two, thus allowing each teacher in the grades above to have no more than two grades. In Nabnasset the only pupil in grade five was transferred to the William E. Frost School, reducing the Nabnasset School to a four-grade school, an arrangement which secures much more efficient ser- vice there.


In Parkerville several causes have operated to reduce the efficiency of the school. Twice last year whooping cough attacked the school and this year chicken-pox broke into the


7


attendance very seriously. This in itself would demoralize the best attempts to keep the school up to any standards set in other parts of the town; and when to this is added the fact that two teachers were required during the last school year, and three thus far this school year, the effect is not difficult to see. Parkerville is remote from railroad stations; in its normal con- dition it is a mixed school of eight grades, and teachers of experience and normal training are reluctant to go to such a school. At the present time it is almost impossible to secure such a teacher for this school, especially for any extended period. If the children of the grammar grades could be con- veyed to the William E. Frost School, leaving the Parkerville School a primary school, the matter of securing a teacher would not be so difficult. There are now eleven pupils in the grades above the fifth, and next year the number will be the same. I hope the committee and the parents of the Parkerville pupils will give this problem careful consideration.


TEXT-BOOKS.


Many of the geography text-books were in a really dilapi- dated condition and a new edition of the Tarr & McMurry text was introduced in several grades, releasing some of the better books for use in corresponding grades in other parts of the town. It is not economy for children to use text-books that are dirty and dropping to pieces, for the constant handling of such books leads to carelessness toward other books; and the habit, thus acquired, is pernicious in its influence upon the children's attitude toward all forms of public property. In the final analysis in any feature of school activity it is the child's training for future trustworthiness and efficiency that engages our attention every moment of the time.


COURSE OF STUDY.


We are using the work accomplished in the several subjects last year as the basis of the work this year. It is pretty definitely understood by the teachers and is followed as closely


8


as individual classes and pupils permit. The work is consecu- tive, hangs together well, and provides a series of steps by which a child may advance from position to position with ever widening intelligence and ever extending horizon. Each year ought to make more plain the interdependence of the several subjects and their necessity and adaptability to the actual life of the child. The busy wheels of the school mill must turn; the hum of the machinery of arithmetic drills, etc., must go on ; but in the midst of apparent confusion the teacher must stand unconfused, knowing the material she is weaving and the purposes to which the finished product is to be put. It is indeed only the real teacher who can use a course of study as it should1 be used; that is, as a chart to guide her in preparing and sending out into various walks of life capable, self-confident, efficient, clean-minded and trustworthy young men and young women.


EXERCISES RECOMMENDED TO VITALIZE COURSE.


I shall enumerate a few of the things that may be worked into the course of study in order to work out such products :


1. Exercises to make children acquainted with the use of their several senses. Hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell, must be quickened, that children may recognize, locate, identify, compare, and finally approve and reject accurately.


2. Exercises to give children better control of the muscles of speech, of standing and sitting positions, of writing and simple manual work, of breathing; and of the relaxation of the muscles.


3. Exercises to give children control of the memory, the power of concentration, the ability to get the thought of the paragraph and to express that thought in their own words.


4. Exercises to teach the child the place he occupies in the world, his duties and his opportunities. In other words, his ethical and moral relations to the members of his family, the school, the social life of the community and the civic life of his town.
