Report of Superintendent of Schools.
To the School Committee of Wilbraham :
GENTLEMEN : The current year has been marked by more than the usual changes. Prominent among them are
1. The resignation of Professor Cooper from the school board. Clear-sighted, fearless, and vigorous, he rendered valuable service to the schools and to the citizens, and his removal from town was a loss felt by the entire community.
2. The fortunate and welcome return of Dr. Webber, who in his former position fills out the unexpired term just mentioned.
3. The large number of changes in the teaching force.

While each of these teachers labored assiduously for the interests of her pupils, two deserve especial notice :
Forced by conditions which made her presence in her home imper- ative, Miss Evanore Beebe of Glendale resigned her position in that school previous to the opening of the spring term.
It is seldom the good fortune of any town to secure the services of a teacher who knows so well how to adapt herself to the needs of the community in which she is placed. Far less frequently is it able to retain one who holds the affections of her pupils and gains in the es- teem of young and old during so long a term of years. The value of her work can be measured only by the lives and characters of those to whom she was tirelessly devoted. The loyalty of the children to her successors is an eloquent tribute to her unselfish influence and to the good sense of the community.
24
At Christmas Miss Nellie Clifford of the higher school at "The Pines" tendered her resignation, to take effect as soon as the va- cancy could be filled. In her also we lost a teacher who had been thoroughly tested and proved. The location of this school. so far from the villages of Wilbraham and so near to another town to which it owes no allegiance, makes it difficult, but her hold upon it was so secure and quiet that the matter of discipline never forced itself upon the observer, while the attainments of her classes demonstrated her ability to instruct and the value of her normal methods.

The last and most radical change was the formation of another school to which pupils from all parts of the town are admitted. .
Last April the so-called Advanced school at North Wilbraham was separated into two divisions. One, at present composed of the fourth, fifth and sixth classes, was assigned to Miss Tiffany, who had served an unpaid apprenticeship of six months under some of our best teachers, while Miss Pomeroy retained the higher grades.
For twelve weeks both schools were kept in one room which was divided into two small ones during the summer vacation.
An invitation to place themselves under the care of the principal was issued to all pupils in the town who had been admitted to grades seven or eight, and the fall term opened with the following enroll- ment :

One from No. 2 ; 2 from No. 3; 3 from No. 5; 2 from No. 6; 9 from No. 8. Total, 17.
The results of this arrangement are obvious.
1. Some who entered as eighth grade pupils and who under the former conditions would have taken two years to complete the gram- mar school course have been already admitted to the ninth grade and will be ready for Academy examinations next June, while others who entered the seventh will do the work of three years in two. thus saving one year to each of at least a half dozen pupils. (This number is placed at its minimum ; we intend to double it.)
2. The moral effect has been as noticeable as the mental im- provement.
Removed from the little ones to whom they were always uncon- sciously letting themselves down and placed among their equals in. age and attainments, the boys soon stood straighter, thought more clearly and took manlier views of life, while the physical effort re- quired to make the daily trips developed determination and persist- ence which bore fruit in their bearing and character.
3. The waste of time in the home school is eliminated. Formerly the larger pupils had a great deal of leisure time, which some occu- pied in the proverbial manner. Their idle hands and minds were furnished with mischief.
It is impossible for the ordinary teacher to provide sufficient em- ployment for so advanced pupils without neglecting the little ones. In the attempt to serve both classes each is deprived of its just dues.
Relieved of the higher grades, the younger children receive their their rightful amount of time and the older are given the work which stronger minds demand.
4. Money appropriated for tuition at the Academy may be more wisely expended.
Formerly several teachers were using a number of hours each week in fitting candidates for this institution. By the new plan this can all be done by one, and time needed for assimilation will be spent in the grammar school.
26
Moreover, because of the demands upon our public schools the standard of admission was kindly lowered some years since, and al- though nearly all secondary schools have been gradually raising theirs, ours has remained unaltered, and our ninth grade pupils do less work than is required by any one of the three high schools for which students in this district of supervision are fitting. This extra work should not be thrown into the Academy. It should be finished in the elementary schools, and if present purposes are fulfilled it can be accomplished in the same amount of time that is now spent upon the minimum.
Two years ago an attempt to teach the children the value of small savings was made in the schools at "The Pines." The Union Relief Association of Springfield supplied the teachers with stamps of various denominations which they sold to the children. Each buyer was given a book, in which he pasted his stamps, and when the sum thus invested amounted to a dollar, it was deposited in the savings bank in his name. Several children have bank books and are learning that it is better to save a penny than to spend it for the short-lived pleasure which candy, gum, or tobacco may afford them. Although the savings have been necessarily slow and small and have sometimes been withdrawn for clothes, the accounts show that nearly one hundred dollars have been invested, and that most of that amount still stands to the credit of the young depositors on the books of the savings banks. Doubtless some of these pennies represent sharp struggles between selfish gratification and providence and for principles which are not always illustrated in the home.
With grateful acknowledgment of support and co-operation this report is respectfully submitted.

Report of Supervisor of Music.
In an annual report of this kind there must be a certain monotony, and yet I do not like to let the year pass without a few words in regard to the present condition and future prospects of music in the public schools of the town.
Every year music seems to gain a firmer foothold, and the advance has been more marked this year than ever before. More work and of better quality has been accomplished, and an increase of interest is shown by both teachers and pupils. A written examination in music was given the ninth grade scholars at the time of the regular annual examinations and all passed successfully. The system of grading has been recently changed, and there are now twice as many grades as at first, although no single room contains more than two grades. The division of the school at North Wilbraham has been a material advance as regards music, showing better results with less work, and giving the higher grade pupils, under the competent teacher in charge, a chance to do advanced work in music also. The teachers have this term been provided with Congdon pitchpipes, which they find a great improvement on the pitchpipes in use hereto- fore. These and a number of new music readers have been the only expense to the town for material during the year.
The benefits of music learned in the public schools are not confined to the schoolroom. More and more this helpful influence is seen in public entertainments in which children's voices take a prominent part, and as the years pass, while Wilbraham may furnish no gifted singers to the world, the town will be blessed with many voices which might otherwise have been silent.

Report of Supervisor of Drawing.
Miss Mary L. Poland :-
The work in drawing during the year just completed is, briefly stated, as follows :
Water colors were introduced in the fall term, so that the children might become familiar with the use of brush and color before the nature study of the spring term should begin.
Pen and ink drawing has been tried in the recently formed higher grade at North Wilbraham.
The pictures studied this year have been : "September." by Zuber ; "The Balloon," by Dupré ; "End of Labor," "The Frightened Bather," by Breton ; "Holy Night," by Correggio ; "Feeding her Birds," by Millet ; "Shepherdess," by Lerolle ; "Baby Stuart," by Van Dyke.
Higher grade, North Wilbraham : "Holy Night," by Correggio ; "The Old Temeraire," by Turner ; "Christ Disputing with the Doctors," by Hofmann.
Water colors, pencil and picture study in all grades, clay modeling and paper cutting in first grade, pen and ink in the advanced grade under Miss Pomeroy's instruction is a summary of the mediums used for the advancement of Art education in the public schools.
The improvement in the new advanced grade formed is very pleasing, the uniform age and intelligence of the children make this possible, as it would be possible in no other school in town; fewer difficulties arise, and the feeling of good fellowship makes study in all lines a pleasure. truly proving that many minds thinking the same thoughts, make the school hours pass delightfully as well as profitably.
I wish to express my appreciation to those who have afforded so much happiness to the children by placing in the rooms the water color paints and the clay ; also to the teachers who have, with their many other duties, so faithfully worked with the children for their advancement in this branch of education.
The work of the children is kept in the school rooms and will be cheerfully shown by teachers to all those interested in drawing and the work of the children.
Respectfully submitted.
