A second group consists of those students who spend the customary four years in the High School and who expect the school to train them well for citizenship and make them efficient in their future vocations. These pupils expect a course of study fruitful in training, with some vocational instruction.
A third group is made up of students who will be home- makers of the future. Their means and resources are such that it is not necessary for them to engage in wage-earning occupations. They expect the High School to give them a broad, general culture as well as an opportunity to become proficient in planning, supervising, and conducting a home.
There is a fourth group of students who look upon the High School as a preparatory school for the colleges and universities. Rightly do these students insist that the program of studies shall be so arranged that it will contain those subjects required
64
for admission by the colleges. Not only must these subjects be taught, but as much emphasis should be given to them as to the other branches. During the present year every effort will be expended toward making the school more proficient so that the certificiate privilege may be secured from the New England College Entrance Certificate Board. To this end more stress is being placed upon the College Course although the other courses are receiving the attention which they justly deserve. Many pupils have been encouraged to change their courses so they may continue their education after finishing here. This does not necessarily mean that they are being encouraged to become professional men but to perfect them- selves in their future vocation by a more prolonged schooling.
Wilimington has a most excellent High School building and one that has been exceedingly well planned for the departmental instruction of the modern High School. The building is excep- tionally well equipped for a small school for the household arts, the sciences, and the commercial branches. Under these conditions there is no reason why the school cannot be made one of the best small High Schools in the State.
In a High School with but one session daily, it is absolutely necessary that a large amount of the preparation for the daily recitations be done at home. With the co-operation of the parents there is no reason why a pupil by regular attendance and daily effort cannot graduate here as well prepared for life as in some of the larger High Schools.
In conclusion I desire to express my appreciation to the untiring efforts of the teachers who have been associated and have co-operated with me as well as to the school officials and superintendent for so heartily aiding me in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
W. F. ALLEN,
Principal.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MANUAL ARTS
Mr. MacDougall,
Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report of the year's work in drawing and the manual arts.
The work this year has followed quite closely the plan that was laid out last year; in fact during the three years that I have been teaching here I have followed quite closely the outline that is prescribed and published by the Massachusetts Normal Art School.
During the fall, nature drawing in pencil and color was taken up in all the grades and in the High School; in November and December object drawing, color study and construction, with appropriate Thanksgiving and Christmas less ons.
In the primary grades much time during the winter months is given to illustrative drawing and paper cutting. The children like to illustrate their games, winter sports and nursery rhymes both with crayons and scissors Construction work and sand-table projects will be taken up in February and March.
The intermediate and grammar grades study design and perspective during the winter months. Construction work also has a place on the outline and some very good history
66
notebook covers, stationery cases, brush broom holders, etc., were made this year. Most of the pupils are especially in- terested in this manual work and many, who have not a talent for drawing and find it hard, excel in the manual work and have something useful to show for their efforts. The outline for the spring months includes design, color study and nature drawing.
The High School drawing is divided into two sections, the mechanical, and the freehand classes. All the freshmen boys and several from the other classes take this drawing. The course laid out includes, view drawing, printing, working drawings, perspective, orthographic projection, intersection" of solids, shadows, architecture and machine drawing. The freehand class includes girls from all the classes. Nature drawing and painting, still-life groups rendered in charcoal, drawing from casts in charcoal, applied design, pencil technique, interior decoration and stenciling have been studied.
Last June an exhibition of drawing, sewing, writing and wood- work was held in the High School building. It gave the towns- people an opportunity to see what was being done along these lines. Several sand-table projects and doll houses done by the primary grades and outside schools attracted much atten- tion. The pupils of the grammar grades of the Whitefield made the buildings of the tannery out of paper.
I thank the teachers and the Superintendent for their hearty co-operation in contributing to the success of the year's work.
Respectfully submitted,
GRACE A. JENKINS.

REPORT OF INSTRUCTOR OF MANUAL TRAINING
To the Superintendent of Schools:
I have the honor to submit to you my third annual report of the Manual Training School.
The work in this department is continuing much the same as in the previous school year. While the number of pupils is not quite as large as last year, the attendance is better and we are making some advancement over last year's work. The advancement is not, however, as much as I would like.
While I agree that anything in the wood-working line can be made by hand, with the tools we have at present it would be quite a proposition for a boy to make any round or circular article. Practically all work consists of flat or square surfaces.
What I would advocate at the present time is a foot power lathe with a jig saw attachment. I am sure it would create considerable interest in the older boys and cause a larger num- ber of boys to attend this department.
As I understand the matter at the present time, it is not the lack of interest in the work that causes a smaller number of
68
High School boys to attend the wood-working classes. A number of boys have spoken to me about taking one period in wood-working, but the periods being forty minutes, the question arises whether it would be worth while. I think not, as they would no more than get started on their projects when it would be time to go back to their rooms.
The attendance from the seventh and eighth grades is about the same and the work is along similar lines to last year.
The work that the High School boys are doing and what we expect to accomplish before the end of the school term will. make a good showing at the exhibition.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM F. BERESFORD.
Cambridge, Mass., January 25, 1917.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. J. A. MacDougall,
Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir: I herewith submit a report of music for the year 1916.
The past year has been a pleasant one in many ways. With the untiring efforts of the grade teachers we have been able to perfect the sight-reading, knowledge of the various technical principles and the ability to apply them, and we now have a graded music system that is getting results although it has required close application of both teachers and pupils.
Some of the schools need more books to replace old ones, while in others the increase of membership has made it neces- sary for two pupils to share one book. In order to keep this music system in good working order the pupils must not be obliged to leave a book until it has been thoroughly mastered. In one building two rooms are using the same books. This is extremely inconvenient and confusing and often wastes time and increases the wear upon the book.
In May, pupils of the Center School presented an operetta, also some folk dances with the Victor, and enough money was secured to purchase more records. The Victor was purchased
70
the preceding year with funds from a similar entertainment. This year pupils from the Walker building are planning an operetta and hope to purchase a school Victor.
The High School has grown in numbers and in spirit. To encourage the latter the chorus has sung music that would make a direct appeal to the average American boy and girl of today. We have made an attempt at male chorus singing and hope to develop something further in that line in the future. Last year the girls' chorus did creditable work.
With the three buildings containing upper grammar grades which are visited once in two weeks, I find it impossible to visit the out-schools as often as I would like. An extra half day per week would solve this very easily and I hope this matter will receive your consideration.
I desire to thank the school officials who are concerned for the welfare of the music department of our schools. It means much to many boys and girls who receive their only musical instruction in the public schools.
Yours sincerely,
MABELLE PROCTOR COUNCE,
Supervisor of Music.
