SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Wilmington:
I submit herewith my second annual report. This is the seventeenth in the series of Superintendent's reports.
School Administration
During the past year your committee has authorized several changes of importance to the welfare of our schools. New rules and regulations for the administration of the schools have been adopted. The most important provisions of these rules are: the assigning of one member of the committee to inspect our school buildings yearly; the placing of our teachers upon " permanent tenure " after two years of satisfactory service; the extension of the school year to forty weeks; and the defining of the powers and duties of the Superintendent.
A new course of study has been adopted for use in the High School. This course was designed to adapt the school to the needs of the pupils in so far as those needs could be anticipated through conferences with pupils, information from parents and a study of the needs of present-day life. Mr. Carrier gave the matter much careful consideration. Changes in this course will be made as circumstances require or permit.
Your committee also extended the use of the Aldine System of teaching reading to all the primary schools. Our teachers have worked faithfully and well with this method. The beneficial effect of their work is already in evidence.
The employment of a School Physician this year has been an important step for the welfare of our pupils.
47
There have been several changes in our corps of teachers. Miss Gertrude Eames was transferred to the Walker School and Mrs. Haley to the Whitefield. Miss Marion Anderson was selected for the North School. Miss Eva L. Hersey was elected to fill the vacancy in the eighth grade. Miss Elizabeth Batchelder took charge of the commercial department in the High School, and Miss Ruth Dodge was elected as the fourth teacher in the High School. Miss Miriam C. Fearing was elected Supervisor of Drawing. Every teacher elected had received adequate professional training and, with the exception of Miss Anderson, had had valuable experience before coming to Wilmington.
After promotions had been made in June there were 109 pupils assigned to grades five, six and seven in the Walker School. It was thought probable that some of these pupils would not attend school longer, as several were over fourteen years of age, and that in consequence these three grades could be continued in two rooms in the Walker building. On the contrary, we had 119 pupils in these grades when school opened in September. It was impossible to care for so many pupils in two rooms, so the seventh grade was transferred to the Town Hall. Although this building is unfavorably situated for pupils in the Walker School district, it seemed to furnish the best temporary arrangement that could be made. A substitute teacher was hired for one week, after which Miss Elizabeth Wentworth was engaged for this school.
Home Garden Work
Last spring more than 3000 penny packets of seeds were purchased by school children in the five towns of this school district. In addition to these, a mail sack full of government seeds given by Hon. Butler Ames was distributed in the grammar schools. No school gardens were maintained in Wilmington, but some pupils cared for gardens at home. I believe thoroughly in the work of gardening, because it takes the children out of doors; it brings them into intimate relations with some of the beauties and wonders of nature; it enlarges
48
their horizon; increases their knowledge; inspires most of the children with genuine interest in an important part of their environment; it "increases their hold on life " and calls for much self-activity, by which alone throughout life can the child attain self-realization. Gardening is a very practical study and the knowledge gained is well worth while. The child can scarcely fail to realize the existence of infallible laws of nature, and he learns how some of the unfavorable ones may be controlled by others favorable to his interests. Further- more, the work clearly and forcibly illustrates the benefits resulting from intelligent and sustained endeavor and also the disappointments that are certain to result from ignorance and laziness.
In September the Middlesex North Agricultural Society awarded $200 in prizes for children's work, not only in garden- ing, but in sewing, cooking, wood-working, poultry keeping and stock judging. Through the kindness of Mr. Charles Perry, a member of Wilmington Grange, the exhibits of our school children were taken to the fair at Chelmsford, where they won a goodly number of prizes.
A similar opportunity will be offered by the Agricultural Society this year.
Water Supply
It is a pleasure to congratulate the Town of Wilmington. upon the present condition of its school buildings. So far as. ordinary repairs can improve them, there are few conspicuous defects. If present conditions are to continue another year, the second room in the High School should be equipped with slate blackboards. Several outbuildings are not yet in satis- factory repair.
There is, however, urgent need of a more adequate water supply in our schools. With the exception of the Walker School, there is no drinking water inside the school buildings, and that in the Walker building is not accessible to small children.
I hope sincerely that this matter wili receive consideration in the near future, and that some means will be provided
49
whereby all pupils may have access to an ample supply of pure drinking water in each of our school buildings.
Relation of Pupils to Population
The table given below shows that there are more children in Wilmington in proportion to the population than in any town in the State having a population even 150 more than that in Wilmington. This condition adds materially to the cost of the public schools. The data in this table are taken from the Seventy-fifth Report of the State Board of Education, which furnished the latest statistics available when this report was written. The first twenty towns with a population LARGER than that of Wilmington have been tabulated.

schools.
Note. Higher tax rates or larger yields are in boldface.
Only one of the twenty towns in this table has a larger average membership than Wilmington, though all have a
50
larger population. This town is Avon, a town small in area with a compact population. On the other hand, the town of Shirley, with a population nearly 300 greater than that of Wilmington has only about half as many pupils to support.
The effect of this large percentage of children upon the cost of the schools is evidenced by the relation of the rate of taxation to the yield for each pupil in our schools, though of · course valuation is also a determining factor. Only six towns represented in this table tax themselves more liberally for school purposes than Wilmington. Fourteen tax themselves less. In only one of these six towns, however, does this higher tax rate yield more money for each pupil than is the case in Wilmington. In seven of the fourteen towns that tax them- selves less than Wilmington, the tax rate yields a larger amount per pupil. In three of these seven towns the larger yield is due for the most part to high valuation, but in the other four towns the larger yield per pupil appears to be caused by the fact that there are from 84 to 189 fewer children in the public schools than in Wilmington.
In two of the fourteen towns which tax themselves less for schools, it is probable that the lessened cost has been made possible through consolidation of small schools. In five other towns that tax themselves less, it is probable that the school standards that they maintain would not be acceptable in Wilmington.
The following conclusions would seem to be reasonable deductions from the data given in this table:
1. Wilmington has an unusually large number of children in the public schools in proportion to her population.
2. In proportion to valuation (ability to pay) Wilmington has a creditable rating for its support of public schools. (In 1910 ninety-two towns or cities taxed themselves more and two hundred sixty-one taxed themselves less than Wilmington.)
3. In spite of this creditable tax-rate, the yield for the educa- tion of each pupil in the average membership of the schools was $45.64 less than the yield in the most liberal town, and only $7.88 more than the yield in the least liberal town referred to in this table. The Wilmington rate yields $17.53 less than the
51
average of those towns paying more and $4.05 more than the average of those paying less.
4. Unless the valuation of the town increases materially, as it probably will, or unless there are fewer pupils in the public schools, a possibility not supported by present indica- tions, it will be impossible to reduce the tax-rate for school purposes, if reasonable standards of efficiency are to be main- tained.
School Accommodations
The large school problem that now confronts the Town of Wilmington is that of supplying adequate High School accom- modations, and providing for the overflow from the Walker School. Both our elementary and our High Schools are making rapid growth and there is every reason to believe that this growth will continue.
At the present time we have 64 pupils in the High School distributed as follows: first year, 31; second year, 21; third year, 2; fourth year, 8; special courses, 2. In grade eight there are 39 candidates for admission to High School next fall. Should present conditions continue and 30 pupils be promoted from grade eight, our High School would enroll about 80 pupils next fall. There are 46 pupils in grade seven, so that in 1914 we should expect an enrollment of at least 100 pupils in our High School.
Two of the rooms in the High School building are very small, are poorly heated and have no ventilating system. One will seat fourteen pupils and the other accommodates about eight pupils using typewriters. While it is possible that there will be a sufficient number of small classes so that these rooms can be used next year, the classes in 1914 cannot possibly be accom- modated in the present limited quarters. Either the High School must have the whole of the present building and a schoolhouse be built for the elementary grades, or a new High School building must be provided. It seems to me that the better plan is to erect a new High School building and use the present building for the grammar grades.
52
I believe that both teachers and pupils in our High School are striving earnestly to make the school worth while. With four teachers we are able to offer more and better courses than formerly. The larger number of courses has tended to make the classes smaller and has enabled us to use the present re- stricted quarters. A considerable increase in the membership of the school will not now require the employment of additional teachers. As in the manning of a railroad train it is necessary to employ at least an engineer, fireman, conductor and brake- man, whether the train carries five or five hundred passengers, so the proper organization of the High School courses requires a certain minimum of teachers, regardless of the number of pupils, but the number of pupils may be increased considerably without requiring additional teachers.
I wish that more parents and others interested in our schools could visit the classrooms of the High School so as to get an idea of the spirit of earnestness there manifest. Mr. Carrier is now teaching Science and Mathematics; Miss Giles, English, German and Mathematics; Miss Batchelder, Commerical Subjects; Miss Dodge, Latin, French and History. The following quotations from the reports of these teachers on the work that has been done in their classes during the fall term may be of interest to our townspeople. Obviously the limits of this report do not permit printing reports of the work of all classes.
Science, Freshman.
Recitation time, five forty-minute periods.
Text-book, none.
I am trying to develop a close power of observation, the habit of accurate thinking and speaking, the scientific attitude, an appreciation of nature. I am trying to get them to learn something that may be of practical value.
Physiology, Sophomore.
Recitation time, five forty-minute periods.
Walter's Hygiene and Physiology.
Work covered between pages 1 and 185.
Just enough Anatomy and Physiology have been given to give hygienic principles a scientific and understandable basis.
53
The emphasis has been on Hygiene. A number of Bulletins have been read on Milk, Sugar as a Food, Bread, etc.
This course was preceded by an eight-week course in Chem- istry in which Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Sulphur and Carbon were studied in their practical aspects, as were also Borax, Sodium, Potassium, Ammonium, etc. We also studied soap, chemistry of cleaning, bacteria, etc. We also learned what an acid, a base, a salt is, etc.
English, Senior.
Recitation time, three thirty-five-minute periods.
L'Allegro and Il Penseroso.
I have tried to have the students, after studying the life of Milton, detect Milton the man, responsive to whatever is good, true and pure in life. In Comus, Milton's faith in the ultimate victory of good over evil was studied particularly.
Macbeth.
Macbeth has been studied chiefly for its ethical content. Its theme, the effect of sin upon the human life and its resulting degradation and suffering and the gradual decay of a soul, have been of chief interest.
I have tried to bring the student into close relation with the artist through the medium of his work, especially by having the student memorize those parts containing universalities. German, Sophomore.
Recitation time, five thirty-five-minute periods.
Elementary German Grammar.
Wesselhoeft to page 109.
Case, tense, declension of pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, articles, co-ordinate conjunctions, strong and weak verbs, auxiliary verbs, separable and inseparable verbs, prefixes. declension of adjectives (strong, weak, mixed), adjectives used as nouns, comparison of adjectives, declension of nouns, peculiar uses of cases of nouns. Read and translated selections from " Marchen und Erzahlungen " 1. Memorized: Lorelei, Einkehr, Ehve Vater und Mutter Des Kindes Spiel, Vergiss Mein Nicht, Du Bist Wie, Eine Blume, Der Schopfer. The sentence, and not the word, has been used as the linguistic unit.
54
Business English, Freshman.
Recitation time, five thirty-five-minute periods.
Form and Punctuation :
Use of Capitals, Commas, Periods, Interrogation and Ex- clamation marks. Dictation : prepared and unprepared. Spell- ing: any word on a given page of Current Events; Penmanship, 1-24. Brown & Teller's Business Methods.
Work covered from pages 1 to 50.
The general aim of this course is to improve the mechanics of English.
September and October were given over to drill in the use of punctuation, with careful attention to form and neatness in all written work.
The current events, to which one period is given weekly, are used as a basis for oral composition.
Various models of business letters have been studied and original letters of the following types written:
Application.
Recommendation : Open, personal.
Introduction.
Order.
Dunning.
Request.
With enclosures.
Models of bills, receipts, statements and credit slips were studied and blank forms filled in.
The penmanship drill from copies has been home-work. The results as shown in daily composition work have been the test of accomplishment.
Typewriting, Senior.
Recitation time, five thirty-five-minute periods.
Practice time, seven thirty-five-minute periods.
The Seniors are required to do all practice work by touch. Words, sentences and various letter forms are selected from Altmaier.
For use in the High School, they have made hektograph copies of Chemistry essays, Geometry and Algebra problems, and have written many letters.
55
Transcribing from Shorthand notes has been done.
Latin I, Freshman.
Recitation time, five forty-minute periods.
Collar and Daniell's XXXII Lessons.
First Year Latin, four anecdotes in back of book.
I believe all the pupils have a clear, fundamental knowledge of the grammar thus far covered. They can read and translate simple Latin well and express simple English in idiomatic Latin.
I have aimed to have them understand the grammatical principles clearly and have given them a good deal of drill with actual sentences, in addition to those in the text-book. I have explained that we do not study grammar for grammar's sake, but for the sake of understanding the language and for the ability to translate.
I have tried to emphasize the common forms and vocabulary that will be met with in Cæsar.
Quite frequently we have noticed the derivation and rela- tion of English words to Latin.
Their understanding of Latin grammar is helping to make their own English language and speech clearer and more ac- curate.
I have tried to make their work broader than mere Latin.
