The time of any meeting may be changed, :or special meet- ings called by the chairman of the board. 1 Report of the School Committee. The school committee again wish to express their pleasure at the excellent condition of the schools and the school build- ings at the present time. While willing to acknowledge that there is always room for improvement, still they feel that the citizens of the town may well be proud or their schools as a whole.. The principal event of the year was the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the erection of the school buildings, which was carried out in a most satisfactory manner, and was an occasion which the pupils of our schools will never forget._ In its way, it was a bit of education that will bear its fruit in the years to come. The committee is especially pleased with the progress made in the special studies under competent supervisors, and would again- congratulate the town upon having in its midst one whose interest in our schools has enabled the committee to place them upon a higher plane than that attained by most of the towns on the Cape. The 'small amount the town is called upon to pay toward these special studies is, in the opinion of the committee, well expended. Many of the teachers report an increase of interest among the parents, which is shown by their visits to the schools, and which the committee is pleased to record. It is by these visitations alone; that parents can form a just opinion of the teachers' work and of what is being done in the schools. In most cases, those who visit the schools are not the ones who find fault with the teachers. If parents would take into consideration the natural tendencies of children and the many difficulties that the teachers have to contend with, the 6 committee feel that there would be greater sympathy between the home and the school. The committee would call special attention to that part of the superintendent's report, relating to tardiness, which in one section of the town is very serious, and as the school- house in that section is the only one that does not have a bell, it may be that that in a measure, accounts for the excess of tardiness, although by no means the whole reason. A more extended report of the condition of the schools will be found in that of the superintendent, and for a report of expenditures for school purposes, see that of the selectmen. STATE FUND.

To TAE SCHOOL BOARD: Gentlemen:—In accordance with your regulations, I have the honor to present herewith my fourteenth annual report as superintendent of schools, the same being also the fourteenth in this series of reports: STATISTICS: Number of children enrolled in the public schools, Num'ber of children enrolled over 15 years of age, Number of children enrolled under 5 yearsage, Number of children enrolled between 7 and 14 years of age, Number of children enrolled between 5 and 15 years of age, Number of school buildings, Number of male teachers, Number of female teachers, Number of teachers employed during the year, Number of teachers employed at any one time, - Average membership, Average attendance, Percentage of attendance, While the total number of pupils enrolled in town report is exactly the same as that given in the report of last year, the average membership and average attendance show ;1 slight decrease in numbers. The table of enrollment by grades from data taken at the beginning of the current year 216 3., l 1 1 ■ 9 also shows a slight decrease compared with the corresponding table for last year. Last year an increase in the percentage of attendance was reported and this year we have made a gain upon that of last year. In the last report 358 cases of tardiness were found. The returns for this year's report give 337 cases, which were . . found on the school registers as follows: Yarmouth high, West Yarmouth primary, - West Yarmouth grammar, Yarmouth intermediate, Yarmouth grammar, - Yarmouth primary, South Yarmouth primary, South Yarmouth intermediate, South Yarmouth grammar, 0 4 21 31 40 46 56 63 76 337 139 1 It will be noted that much more than half of the tardiness 1 in town comes from the schools at South Yarmouth. While tardiness is largely within the control of the teachers, there are found to be cases where parents are at :fault in not sending their children in time to arrive at school in season. It should 11 be remembered that the habits formed by children while 14 attending school are liable to be of more importance to them l.t in after life than all the information they will ever gain at 195.7s school. Education is largely a matter of habit, and the habit 181.7(1 id regular and faithful attention to the daily duties of life is iane of the most important things to he gained in the schools. TEACHERS. - 179 4 for this 1 The schools opened in the fall of 1904 with no changes in Pie teaching force, an unusual occurrence with us. For the Iyear there was but one change of teachers. During the winter item Miss Martha W. Howes resigned from the primary school la Yarmouth to accept a more lucrative position elsewhere. 10 Miss IIowes's work during her long period of service in the Yarmouth primary school is deserving of the highest praise. Her classes were always found well prepared for their work in the succeeding grades and her kindly sympathy for the little ones under her charge resulted inthe best of discipline, with never an approach to harshness. Miss Annie Baker was elected to the position left vacant by Miss Ilowes and the schools continued for the remainder of the year without further change. At the close of the year, however, more than three-fourths of the grade teachers resigned; some on account of matrimonial considerations, others to accept larger salaries 'elsewhere. This unusual number of resignations brought to the school board the important duty of filling the vacancies thus caused before the re -opening of the schools. This duty has been so carefully and well performed that the work of the current year was taken up without confusion, and no case of discord has arisen to mar the progress of school work. IN GENERAL. The work of the year has not radically differed from that of the previous year. Much and continued attention has been given to improve the quality of the work in various subjects. In reading, especially, constant effort has been made that pupils of all grades read -with good expression and that pupils in the higher grammar grades be led to an appreciation of the best in literature. Right here it may be said that the superinten- dent finds that the most difficult thing in all school work is to maintain a uniformly high standard of instruction in the reading classes of the upper grammar grades. While much good work has been done here, score teachers seem incapable of feeling the thrill. of appreciation for the inspiration of great writers. In teaching reading to the higher grades the first great essential is that the teacher feel the inspiration of the author; if the teacher does not., the class will not. Another requisite to good reading is that the pupils before 11 reaching the higher grades have mastered the mechanical part of reading. To this end the intermediate teachers have been directed to select books from the school and other libraries for the home reading of pupils who are deficient in this subject and to watch and promote their progress until they become reasonably fluent readers. . Distinct improvement is being made in the written work. Carefully done work in this is required in all grades, and papers of copied work, reproduction, and original compostion work based upon the observation and experience of the pupil are kept on file in the school rooms for inspection: Maps. drawn by the pupils with places, productions, etc., located, is made an interesting feature of the work in geography. Effort is also being made to improve tke quality of the pupil's oral work, and in short we are striving to carry out in actual daily practice all directions in the course of studies. Occasionally a parent wishes to send his child to school before the age of five has been reached. It should be remembered that practically all courses of studies, where there is no kindergarten, are graded to receive pupils to the first grade at six years of age. Pupils much younger. than this cannot be expected to do the required work. The little intellectual benefit children under six receive is likely to be far more than counterbalanced by the physical injury that may result from confining such young children so large a portion of the day to the seats of a schoolroom. Special instruction is progressing more satisfactorily than ever before. The work has been adjusted to interfere as little as possible with other work, and special instructors and grade teachers are working in harmony: a condition that has not always obtained. In the report of last year the merits of the subjects under special instruction were dealt with in detaiL. Any desiring information concerning the value of these subjects are referred to that report. - 12 BOOKS. Several books for outside reading, supplementary to school subjects, have been added to each of the school' libraries. Desk books for the use of teachers have been furnished in each of the rooms and the attention of teachers called to such portions of them as would seem to be of particular benefit in each case. In the endeavor to keep our complement of text books in use in the schools in proper condition and the necessary supplies furnished, the appropriation for that purpose has been expended, together with a considerable amount from the state school fund. To reduce wear and tear on books and supplies to a minimum, as well as to develop habits of careful use of property on the part of the pupils, both teachers and pupils have been cautioned as to their proper .use. Again in closing, I wish to express my deep appreciation of the loyal and enthusiastic work of the teachers, and of the active and unselfish co-operation of the school board in all school affairs, which, together, have rendered my work pleasant. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools. January, 1906. Report of Principal of the High School. December 15, 1905. Ma. Wu. E. CIIAFFIN, SuperintendentofSchools, Dear Sir:—Again the time is conte for my report. 11fy opinion is the same today, as in all the years, that the one thing needful to this school is an assistant teacher to its principal. No matter how faithful tte work of pupils and teacher, no matter how well equipped this school sends forth its graduates, it can receive never the recognition it deserves, it can obtain never the standing it has earned among the high schools of Massachusetts, except it employ two teachers. I know that many of our citizens are not in accord with me in this opinion of mine, but I wish to keep my belief on record. I can praise highly the work of the pupils. With one teach' • the recitation periods must be brief;• but the children meet and overcome this obstacle by their fidelity, their accuracy, their deportment. The tone of the school is perfect; absolute fellowship exists. The terms are a succession of days of faithful work and good conduct. Two young ladies and two young men of the senior class are preparing for colleges or professional. schools. The time devoted to the work of the special teachers fits easily into the school curriculum, and the pleasant relations ' of those teachers with pupils and principal is another happy feature of the school. ' IIoping a good school year to us all, I am Sincerely your friend, EDWARD F.-PEIRCE; Principal. 1 Report of Supervisor of Drawing. MR. W. E. CHAFFIN, Supt. of Schools, Dear Sir:—The work done in drawing in the schools has shown a reasonable amount ofprogress, and; taken as a whole, the results have been most satisfactory. Slight changes have been made from time to time, when it has been fully demon- strated that they brought about a decided improvement. By presenting the fundamental principles in a variety of new forms, the interest and enthusiasm have been marked. The work of the primary grades has been up to the stand- ard. The children have displayed confidence and freedom in their work. The pupils' of the intermediate grades have given careful attention to the problems, particularly selected with reference to size, proportion and color. The high and grammar grades are well advanced and are able to cope with the new problems, which are constantly arising. Many of the drawings in nature work, pictorial illustration and decorative design have been rendered with an unusual degree of artistic feeling. All of the grades have developed in their manner of expression, thereby testifying to the efficiency of the principle, which has never been lost sight of, chiefly a deliberate and careful scrutiny of the problem to be executed, taking in at a glance all important points and eye measurements before touching the working medium. The results thus procured have been of a high order, owing to the keenness and accuracy of the thought given to the subject. Most respectfully, S. ISABELLE SMITH, Supervisor of Drawing. Report of Supervisor of Music. M8. W. E. CHAFFIN, Supt. of Schools, Dear Sir:—Music in the public schools, taken as a whole, shows marked improvement over that of last year. More interest is shown in the grammar and intermediate grades. Consequently better results are obtained. Two-part music is used exclusively in these grades, and the scholars have become very much interested in this line of work. Before the year expires it is probable that the grammar schools will be singing three-part music. The primary children are doing well, singing their little songs, and becoming acquainted with the very first rudiments of music. The high school, being small, and showing but little enthusiasm, the prescribed course used in the high elsewhere, cannot be carried out here. however, sight-reading, ear - training, writing melodies, and the forming of scales are done to a considerable extent. Considering that little or no time is allowed during the week for practice, I feel that as much has been accomplished as could be expected under the circumstances. Most respectfully, INA F. NICKERSON, Supervisor of Music. Ip 1 4 Report of the. Supervisor of Sewin and Cooking. Ma. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir:—The sewing has been done with still more zeal than in previous years. The children in the three schools vie with each other, all hoping to be ahead; therefore, the work is good and satisfactory to their teacher. Several girls have done the course prescribed for two years in one year and one term, which shows how industriously they have worked and how well they understand the principles of measuring, cutting and sewing. All the young ladies in the cooking classes are delightful pupils. Their intelligent and independent work makes the hours ones of pleasure. We have followed, as, in previous years, the course as laid out for the Boston cooking classes. In these the girls receive printed recipes for their two years' course, with all necessary explanations and a great many useful hints.. 'Would it not be possible that our girls also receive those papers, which cost very little? Respectfully yours, MARIA F. GROTE. Report of Supervisor of Sloyd. Ma. WPI. E. CIIAFFIN,.Supt. of Schools, Dear Sir:—The work in sloyd this year is all I could wish. The children are busy and happy and are doing good work. It is my intention to have an exhibition during the spring term of the work done tbis year, which I hope may prove interesting to parents and friends. Yours respectfully, ISABEL SHOVE. • Roll of Honor. NAMES OF PUPILS NEITHER ABSENT NOR TARDY. West Yarmouth Grammar.

Bonar: Gentlemen:—In accordance with your regulations, 1 here- with submit u»= fifteenth annual report as superintendent of schools, the same being also the fifteenth in the series of reports: STATISTICS. Number of children enrolled in the public schools, Number..of children enrolled over 15 years of age, Number of children enrolled under 5 years of age, Number of children enrolled between 7 and 14 years of age, Number of children enrolled between 5 and 15 years of age, • Number of school buildings, Number of male teachers, Number of female teachers, \umber of teachers employed during the year, Number of teachers employed at any one time, Number of special teachers, Number of teachers who are graduates of normal schools, Number of teachers, who have attended normal school without graduating, • Number of teachers, who are graduates of college, Number of teachers, who attended without grad- uating, Average membership, Average attendance, Percentage of attendance, 207 81 0 126 176 4 11 14 13 4 5 1 2 1 191.72 178.95 93.33 7Examination of \;he foregoing statistics„ when compared with those of last year, shows that the school population of the town continues to decrease in numbers. While this has in several ways an unfavorable effect, the schools have still shown a gain in other- matters regarding attendance. Onr percentage of attendance is higher than for some years. The town of Yarmouth stands materially above the average for the state in percentage of attendance. " Considering the condi- tions under which we are placed, the tc.wn has now reached a high standard of attendance and it will require the co-operation of all interested in the schools to improve upon it. The number of cases of tardiness reported shows a decided decrease from last year. The following are the numbers reported from the various schools:. - Yarmouth high, 0 West Yarmouth primary, 6 West Yarmouth grammar, • 13 Yarmouth primary, 13 • South Yarmouth intermediate, 31 South Yarmouth primary, 40 Yarrnonth grammar, 47 Yarmouth intermediate, 49 South Yarmouth grammar, 80 279 Attendance statistics are designedly made" prominent in these reports. Owing to the number of grades in each room, recitation periods are necessarily short and little time is afforded teachers to help those who have fallen behind through. absence. Parents can perhaps in no other way 'aid the schools so much as by requiring .their children to be prompt and regular in attendance. At the beginning of the year there was • a large percentage of change in the teaching force, which was noted in the report of last yeah At the close of the winter tern, Miss Emma G. AIIV. NS.WNW I I••. II..111. 1 1111W1 I...Mk 1.+. 1lid 11 111.11 111 8 Hall resigned from the South Yarmouth ,primary to accept a better position elsewhere. Her work while with us had been uniformly excellent, and she was well deserving of her promo- tion. Her place was filled by the election of Mrs. E. 1). Kelley, whose former work in this same room had been of high staindard. `ince resuming her school work, she has given it the same devoted attention as before, and the school continues _to be in the most creditable condition. At the close of the year Miss Gay left us to accept a position nearer home. Iter position in the grammar school at West Yarmouth was tilled by the election of iliss E. J. Cummings, who took charge of the school at the beginning of the current year, and wlio ,1.ppears to be well fitted for the position. The teaching force as a whole has shown enthusiasm in school work and a commendable degree of professional interest. The work of a teacher is no sinecure at best and is ofttimes arduous and perplexing. - No class of workers more thoroughly deserves the support of the public. It is too much to expect perfection at all times from any one in this world, and if parents who think their children have been misjudged would visit the teacher in a kindly spirit and inquire into the cause of the complaint, instead of talking against the -teacher to other parents, they would better serve their children and the schools. As the years go by gradual changes occur in the work and the methods of the schools. Of late increased attention has been devoted to nature work, and papers written from the observation and direct knowledge of the pupils are of higher standard and of greater volume than heretofore. Though our school system is so definitely organized that few marked changes occur from year to year, there is still abundant work to consume the entire time allotted a super- vising officer. As it is first essential that pupils be present at school, all matters of attendance have received careful atten- tion. Continuous effort has been made to lead/teachers t� 1 II. 111 II 11 1. 1 s 1 1 11 1 Y lath 111 .r :11111111111 111 11 1 1 111:`. .9 • secure greater interest and attention in class work, to secure the maximum of work from pupils at their beats, and to direct the home study of pupils in the higher grades. Pupils. have also been led to observe, reflect and draw inferences from the objects and phenomena of .nature about them. While endeavor has at all times been made to keep the schools work- ing jn accord with the accepted. educational thought of the day, it is realized that the schools. have work to perforin that - is far above and beyond methods and courses of study, and that is the development of truer and more worthy men and women. This cannot be accomplished by cold logic nor by force. It is true that many a citizen is kept within the pale of the law by the fear of the •prison, and. many a pupil has been kept from overt acts of disobedience by fear of punishment or expulsion from school ; hut nobler feelings, - higher purposes and kindlier sentiments caimot be developed through fear nor by arbitrary power. All these can, however, • be promoted and the characters of the children can be improved by sympathetic interest between teacher and pupil, by the touch of soul with soul. This sympathetic relationship can be established in our schools in practically every instance, if. the teacher pursues the right course in the conduct and discipline of the school. - Pursuant of the above ideas, attention bas been devoted to secure the highest kind of discipline for all the schools. -To this end talks. have been had with teachers, with- pupils and. with parents, and teachers have been urged to visit the pupils at their houses in -order to better understand them. Numbers of refractory pupils have come to wholly change their attitude toward the school and to work •cheerfully in harmony with their environment. The mental and moral • atmosphere of some school rooms has shown decided improve- ment. In all rooms the endeavor has been to reach higher standards of work and to give sufficient employment to ?<Y IiIIW may..a Yr • rIIILIYYF wa...' • roc ian,IIIlIuI!, • ail• Y IIIYY.iiY iii ii 1 develop fixed habits of industry that the httplis, cony become industrious citizens and hot hinters. -- a.jnst and kindly discipline has been nrdcutty Ftriveit for, that our pupils May come forth front the schools orderly ami • order -loving men and wotnetl. 1'hc� superintetulent feels fain that the. year lias made for unproved cit:'izenship. 1\ J l l'ST1f t A1.

It seems that throughout the country the snh;eet of industrial 't1uentioii is of late receiving mere attention and is keine; introduced more widely thnn ever before into both the common and the high school courses of study.

They beget n. habit of self-relianee. Mound training methods, fortunately, are being slowly but surely introduced into all our large cities." The present strong trend towards indnstrinl education leads to the belief that the town of Yarmouth has indeed made no Mistake In her generous support of manual training,. - These subjects (sewing, cooking arid. sloyd) with us continue to receive the same time and attention as herettforereported. In seining we have recently adopted the same Course• as is given in the sehnols of Poston, and hereafter the girls of the higher grades will be required to ent•, snake -and fit fall -sized garrnents for themselves. Satisfactory work is now being clone in all the so-called special subjects, concerning which you are referred to the reports of the Super -Visors. • 7IJ1 I11G1I SCIiOOL. Most commendable work continues to be done by the pupils of the high school. The, efforts of its principal to maintain a high standard of conduct in and abort. the schools in the building are worthy of commendation and well deserve the support of parents. The addition of an .assistant on part tithe in the high school is a step in the right direction. The introduction of a business coarse, or rather the extension of the one we have, is now under advisement. I deeply appreciate the active co-operation and support of the school board in all matters pertaining to the schools. • . Respectfully submitted, . WILLIAM E.. CHAFFIti, Superim tendent of Schools.

CIHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir:—I can report the high school in excellent condition.. The term just closing has been marked with especially faithful work in every class. The deportment of the pupils is perfect; the atmosphere is of the home rather than the school. Of course I wish the membership were larger; but the average keeps constant as the years pass by, and I remember that our population is small: _ _ _ Last June the school sent one young man to Tufts, and one to Amherst Agricultural college; one lady graduate entered the IIyannis normal school. This year one graduate will enter. Wellesley college and one will go to Boston University. I am very glad to announce that we have an assistant teacher. This term, Miss Grote has charge of a • class in German and gives two Periods of her time, also to French. This arrangement is of vital help to pupils and principal. Excellent work is being done in sioyd, music and drawing. The teachers in these brandies are in touch with the pupils and results are evident. I do not believe that this is the time to lower the classical course, especially when we find so many of our children desiring a college education. But I do believe it is possible to introduce a line of study that may better prepare those of our pupils who must step straight from the school- room to bread winning. The state board, at Nyannis three weeks ago, advised an extra teacher in our high schools and i 13 an added course of a practical business nature. I do not know that we can have the needed teacher, but I dobelieve that, even with our present force, we can make some changes in the curriculum that may prove valuable and practical to the boys and girls fitting for business Life; that may bring more of our children to the school. This is a subject that I desire to bring before yourself and the board before another school year opens. With regards, Sincerely your friend, EDWARD F. PEIRCE, Principal. r gnomic . Report of Supervisor of Drawing. • MR. W. E. CH AFFI , Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir:—During the past year we have been advancing in drawing, We hope and believe. It is only by constant variation of the subjects of drawing that we can meet the different requirements of the many children. The pupils of the primary grades have drawn from a great variety of objects, as they learn a great deal by repeated effort. The scholars of the intermediate grades have shown much interest in the regular work. Much enthusiasm has been displayed in the grammar grades, especially in regard to design and animal drawing. The high school has done its usual good work in pose draw- ing, harmony, pen and ink composition, design and perspective, and have also made some very creditable out -door sketches. Drawing has been taught with the view of helping to round out the education of the average citizen as a picture, even though it be a rough sketch, often does more by the way of explanation than a paper with explicit directions. The pupils of Yarmouth should also unconsciously feel the beauty of their natural surroundings to such an extent as to be able to depict with quickened senses the ever changing scenes about them. F.e`pectfully submitted, S. ISABELLE SMITH, Supervisor of Drawing. Report of Supervisor .of Music: SUPT. W. E. CIHAFFIN, Dear Sir :—The progress in music in the schools has been as rapid as could be expected. It takes a few weeks for the teacher and pupils to become acquainted. For the past terra I have tried to make a particular point of interesting the pupils and at the same time to make the work pleasing. — - In the primary grades a major part of the time has been spent in singing of tuneful rote songs. With this work we have • tried to establish firmly the tones of the scale and give some ▪ idea of rhythm. Some individual work has also been done. • 1n` the intermediate grades much sight reading in unison and two-part work has been done. I found, among the boys of the grammar grade, a great disinclination to sing, particularly the boys of the South Yar- mouth grammar school. But very few boys in this school made any effort to take part in the music period. At the close of the term, however, the boys, almost without exception, did their part. Much praise is due Mr., Goddard, who has proved a very efficient helper. The Yarmouth grammar is doing excellent three-part work. The West Yarmouth gram- mar school is small and at first the pupils showed lack of confidence, but they are willing to try and I feel sure there will be a marked advance by the end of the year. - In the high school the time has been spent in chorus work • and lessons in simple vocal harmony. Written work is done in all grades. In the corning terms tests will be given twice in each term and an examination at the end of each term. I ' i lad kW, ha .taLl I....I. h. 1 ill NI I, 10,4 10 I wish to thank each one of the teachers in the town for the good will they have shown, and for their willingness to co-operate with me to make the year a successful one. Respectfully submitted, LOUISE M. CROWELL, Supervisor of Music. Report of the Supervisor of Cooking. Mn. W. E. CHAFFIN,. Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir: —The work of the students in the cooking class as a whole and individually is a great pleasure and satisfaction. Every scholar is doing as near right as it is possible for young people to. do. The course taught is the same as is taught in the Boston Cooking schools. This course is a verypractical one; it gives to the scholar the greatest variety of recipes for every -day food. The greatest care is taken to give the girls good ideas of the arrangement in using up the left -over parts from a previous meal, in order to make it attractive to the eye and also palatable. This is a great saving in a small family. If food is cooked well it certainly is the greatest means of keeping the family in a good healthy condition_ You know well the truthful saying: "Rather pay the butcher and grocer than give your money to the doctor." MARIA F. GROTE. 1/,fly?/.VII 1 I. J I gym, Report of the Supervisor of Sloyd. W. E.. CHAFFI\, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir :—The work of the sloyd school has gradually improved since the younger children have worked into the higher grades. New models are introduced as the scholars become more proficient and the interest is kept up in this way. Pupils are given a choice after the regular course is finished. This privilege has greatly shortened the time required to •complete the course, and many models are now made to fill some special use in the home. • Parents would add much to the pleasure of the work if they would occasionally visit the school and see our busy work -shop. A friendly relation between parents and teacher is the beat stimulus for good results. Yours respectfully, - ISABEL SHOVE. Report of Supervisor of Sewing. Ma. W. E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir:—Again comes the question, what can you- tell us of the girls' doings in the sewing classes ? It is certainly a pleasure for me to tell the school board; the parents and the many people interested in the children that they are doing good work. The girls in the higher grades are making large articles, which they have to measure, cut and prepare for sewing. Of• course, being large, they have to sew a long time before it is finished; but they have good courage and their teacher helps the pupils with encouraging words and sometimes in another way. The younger children still have the smaller _articles to do; these give them practice in measuring, cutting, preparing the work and in doing a great many different stitches. These small articles give to the pupvs all the practice they need and have the advantage of not discouraging the slower working child. The smaller models are pretty and useful. Look at the little bag, which the girls make in the first -term after entering the sewing class. In this bag four different stitches are taught. After all the sewing is done, the tape has to be drawn through and sewed together, which is quite a feat of dexterity for such young heads and small fingers. It is accomplished and when they draw the .two double loops together a most beautiful smile lingers on their faces. Some- thing achieved! and it is, as I said before, pretty and useful. So it goes on through the whole set of models. These models are designed for the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh 20 grades. The eighth and ninth grades are working on the larger 'models. Many of my pupils, who have not finished the set of little models in school, do so at home, because, being in the higher grade, they are required to make the large models. Most of the girls, little and big, try very hard to do as near - right as I expect them to do. Respectfully yours, MARIA F. GROTE. ififi 1 I IM Roll of Honor.

Last Saturday in. each month during the school year. The time of any meeting may be changed, or special meetings may be called by the chairman of the board. Report of the School Committee. In presenting their report for the year 1907, the school committee are pleased to be able to state that the schools are in a most excellent condition. While circumstances, beyond the control of the committee, made it necessary to provide new teachers for several of the schools, they feel that those who have taken the places of former teachers are doing excellent work, and that the schools will not suffer because of these changes. The committee realize the fact that it is detrimental to change instructors often, but in the present cases there was no dissatisfaction on the part of either the •committee or the teachers. The superintendent reports excellent progress being made in all the schools, and the committee would especially com- mend the work now being done by the special teachers, all of whom have been with us several years, and having become personally acquainted with each of the pupils, are thus able to bring out all the latent abilities that each one may possess. The various exhibits of the work of the schools in the line of special studies has shown what they have been able to accom- plish. While these exhibits have been mostly confined to the work of the sloyd, sewing and drawing classes, the music and cooking classes have been doing fully as good work, which can best be judged by a visit to the schools during the progress of a lesson. The committee feel that the work inaugurated by and through the great interest of Mrs. Agassiz should be appreciated by all who have the interest of the - schools at heart. The schoolhouses of. the town are kept in good repair, but inasmuch as all of the buildings are more than fifty years old, 6 each one or more of them have to be painted or shingled, or some other important repairs done upon them. A member of the state board of education, on his last visit to this section, in speaking of transportation of scholars, made the remark that he was afraid towns were doing too much for the children, who are thus apt to lose sight of the value of what was being done for them. At the same time, the com- mittee feel that if the town wishes to do these things, it has no protest to make, except to suggest that what is done for one section should be done for all, and if the children of one section are taken to and from the schoolhouse, the same accommodations should be provided for in each of the different sections of the town. It would seem, however, that to do this will require a sum of money more than twice the original amount which sufficed for years. The committee are of the opinion that if the town provides transportation for pupils who gn to the high school, that that is all they should be asked to do. This, however, is something that is left with the taxpayers of the town to decide for themselves, and not a natter that the committee feel lies with them, any more than to say that accommodations should be provided for each section alike.

Superintendent's Report. To THE SCHOOL BOARD: In accordance with your regulations, I herewith submit my sixteenth annual report as superintendent of schools, the same being also the sixteenth in the series of reports : STATISTICS. Number of children enrolled in the public schools, Number, of children enrolled over 15 years of age, Number of children enrolled •under five years of age, Number of children enrolled between 7 and 14 years of age, Number of children enrolled between 5 and 15 years of. age, _Number of school buildings, Number of male teachers, . Number of female teachers, Number of teachers employed during the year, Number of teachers employed at any one time, Number of special teachers, Number of teachers who are graduates of normal schools, Number of teachers who have attended normal school without graduating, Average membership, - Average attendance, Percentage of attendance, 217 30 2 143 185 4 --2 11 13 13 4 4 1 190:63 178.35 93.55 The statistical returns from the schools for this report show a gain of 10 in the total school enrollment for the town. Though this gain is small, it seems decidedly better than recording a 1 8 decrease, as has generally been the case for many years past. At present no section of the town shows a decrease in enroll- ment. So long as this condition continues, there will be no need of closing any of the rooms. . For some years past the percentage of attendance for the . schools of Yarmouth has been very creditable to the town, especially so when our unfavorable conditions for enforcing the truant laws are taken into consideration. The.graduated attendance table in the latest report of the state board of education, in which all the towns and cities of the state are numerically arranged, according to the ratio of the average attendance of children upon the public schools to the whole number of children in town between 5 and 15 years of age, gives Yarmouth a rank of 43 among the 354 towns and cities of the state.- This is .well towards the front and is cred- itable alike to the efforts of the school board and the teachers and the thoughtfulness of the parents. The tardiness this year shows an increase over that of last year. The number of tardy marks found on the school regis- ters are as f ollows: Yarmouth high, West Yarmouth primary, West Yarmouth grammar,_ Yarmouth primary, Yarmouth intermediate, South Yarmouth primary, South Yarmouth grammar, South Yarmouth intermediate, Yarmouth grammar, 0 3 28 30 37 38 41 54 79 310 The work of the year in the schools has been one of quiet progress. No fads have been exploited and no new lines of work have been taken up. Stress continues to be placed upon 9 lines of work discussed in previous reports. More time and attention are devbted to the reading and teliing of stories by the teachers of the lower grades and to the telling of stories in good English by the pupils. Throughout the school year the schools continued under the instruction of the teachers mentioned in the report of last year, no change in the teaching force having occurred daring the year. At the close of the year, however, just one-half of the grade teachers resigned their positions. At West Tar - month, Miss Ethel Cummings resigned her position in the grammar department to accept a more lucrative position else- where. Mr. Goddard of the South Yarmouth grammar left us to fit himself to teach sloyd. Miss McKenne of the intermedi- ate and Mrs. Kelley of the primary also resigned their posi- tions. The work of Mrs. Kelley has been of the highest order, and her resignatiari'is a serious loss to the teaching force. We have been obliged to fill all these vacancies from out-of- town candidates. The girls who go through our own schools, after completing the normal school, can command higher salaries than we pay. If our own girls cannot afford to teach here and live at home, how can we expect to retain .competent teachers from away when those teachers have to pay one-half of their salaries for board alone? At present all but one of our grade teachers are from nut of town. Much is being said in the current educational literature concerning the advanced cost of living and the necessity of increasing teachers' wages. AAs is the teacher so is the school," is an old and a true saying. If we are to have good schools we must continue to have good teachers. In order to do this it is at least necessary to make i rovision for raising the salaries of the teachers who prove to be thoroughly com- petent. I trust this matter will not be overlooked when the time comes to make appropriations for next year. It will be noted in the statistics that some. children have entered under five years of age. The state. course of study, 10 likewise our own course, is intended for pupils entering school at not less than six years of age. It is found with us, ns elsewhere, that children entering at five years of age are" not mature enough to do the work of the first year. Such pupils at the very beginning of their school life are forced into the habit of going over lessons without learning them, ,into their confinement to a desk for the period required each day in school is likely to work physical injury to them. For these reasons your superintendent believes that children should not enter our schools until six years of age. NEDiCAi INSPECTION. Chapter 602 of the Acts of 1906 requires the appointment of school physicians. As this is one of the most important acts of school legislation in recent years, it is given below: Section I. The school committee of every city and town in the Commonwealth shall appoint one or more school physi- cians, shall assign one to each public school within its city or town, and shall provide them with all proper facilities for the performance of their duties as prescribed in this act: provided, however, that in cities wherein the hoard of health is already maintaining or shall hereafter maintain substantially such medical inspection as this act requires, the board of health shall appoint and assign the school physician. Section "II. Every school physician shall make a prompt examination and diagnosis of all children referred to him as hereinafter provided, and such further examination of teachers, janitors and school buildings as in his opinion the protection of the health of the pupils may require. Section 11I. The school committee shall cause to be referred to a school physician for examination •and diagnosis every child returning to school without a certificate from the board . of health after absence on account of illness or from unknown cause; and every child in the schools under its jurisdiction who shows signs of being in ill health or of suffering from infectious or contagious disease, unless he is at once excluded from school by the teacher; except that in the case of schools 1.1 in remote and isolated Situations the_ schnol committee may make some other arrangements as may best, carry out the pur- pose of this act. Section IV. The school committee shall cause notice of the disease or defects, if any, frorn which any child is found to be suffering to be sent to his parent or, guardian. Whenever a child shows symptoms of smallpox, scarlet,fever, _measles, chicken pox, tuberculosis, diphtheria or inflenza, tonsilitis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies or trachoma, he shall be sent home inrrnediately, or as soon as safe and proper conveyance can be found, and the board of health shall at once•be notified. Section V. The school -committee of every city and town shall cause every child in the public schools to he separately and carefully examined at least once in every school year to ascertain whether he is suff'ring from defective sight or hearing or from any other disability or defect tending to pre- vent his receiving the full benefit of his school work, or requiring a modification of the school work in order to prevent injury to the child, or to secure the best educational results. The tests of sight and hearing shall be made by the teachers. The committee shall cause notice of any defect or disability requiring treatment to be sent to the parent or guardian of the child, and shall require a physical record of each child to be kept in such form as the state board of education shall pre- scribe. Section VI. The state hoard of health shall prescribe the directions for tests of sight and hearing and the state board of education shall, after consultation with the state board of health, prescribe and furnish to school committees suitable rules of instruction, test -cards, blanks, record hooks and other useful appliances for carrying out the purposes of this act, and shall provide for pupils in the normal schools instruction and practice in the best methods of testing the sight and hearing of children. The state board of education may expend during the year nineteen hundred and six a snm not greater than fifteen hundred dollar, and annually thereafter a sum not greats that five hundred dollars for the purpose of supplying the raaterial required by this act. Section VII. The expense which a city or town may incur, by virtue of the authority herein vested in the school com- mittee or board of health, a`• the case may be, shall not exceed I2 the amount appropriated for that purpose in cities by the city council and in towns by a town meeting. The appropriation shall precede any expenditure or any indebtedness which may be incurred under this act., and the suis appropriated shall be deemed a sufficient appropriation in the municipality where it is made. Such appropriation need not specify to what section of the act it shall apply, and may be voted as a total appro- priation to be applied in carrying out the purposes of the act. Section VII. This acs shall take effect on the first day of September in the year nineteen hundred and six. (Approved .lune 20, 1906.) Pursuant. of the above act, blanks and directions for testing the sight and hearing of pupils have been sent us by the state board of education. The teachers have made the required tests in all the ,schools. The result of these testa is as follows: No. tested.

Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools. ci Principal of High school. • high School, Dec. 10th, 1907. Mr. Wm. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools, Dear sir:—The school is doing good work. The percentage • of attendance is Very high, proving the interest the pupils have for their studies. It must be remembered,' too, that the majority of the scholars ride five miles and return in all weathers. The school sent,one pupil to Wellesley in June last. She passed her examinations with honor, and reports from the. college speak in most complimentary terms of • the Yarmouth high school and its preparatory methods. This year, and in almost every year, each class has- one-7- or ne--or more pupils preparing for college. This fact makes it necessary that a thorough Latin course be continued in this school. Again, it would be a mistake to lower the standard of a school'that has received such strong commendation. Yet the time is arrived when the best possible practical business coarse should be added to the curriculum. This subject has - received the attention of superintendent, committee _and_ principal. The principal has, this year, more periods to give to the school, as the excellent -work of '_Hiss Grote relieves him of the French classes; Miss Grote, also, teaches one class in German. Under these new conditions, three periods weekly, during three Tears, are given to •book-keeping; three periods weekly, during two or three terms, are devoted to commercial arithmetic, and the same allowance of time is given to commercial geography_ This schedule of studies, which allows the school to prepare 15 students for college and normal school, while affording them practical business work, has met your approval and that of the committee, and is the best possible schedule for the school at this tiTne. If the day comes when two teachers can give all their time to the recitation periods, then two distinct courses, classical and commercial, can be arranged. Sincerely your friend, EDWARD F. PEIRCE, Principal. Supervisor of Sloyd. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools, Dear sin—The work this year is similar to the work of previous years and the result of this training has begun to show in various ways outside of the schoolroom. In a number of cases the boys or their parents have told of some work that .has been done at home, which seems to be the best proof of the usefulness of this work. I wish again to urge the parents and friends of the scholars to show their interest by visiting the school and seeing the children at work. Respectfully, ISABEI. SIHOVE. rr. Supervisor of Sewing and Cooking. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools, Dear sir:—All the pupils of the sewing classes are, very busy in doing what is required of them. Most of them are doing it with zest and thought. The large garments are made by the eighth and ninth grade girls, as was done last year. Owing to the amount of plain sewing necessary on these large garments, with but one hour a week, not more than two of them can be made by the average pupil. The educational value the pupils receive from this work is the cutting and fitting, as they know all the stitches re- quired for these models. They need more practice regard- ing the cutting and fitting, therefore more garments ought to be made by them. In order that this may be possible we must have a little sewing machine, one which can be taken around to the different schools. With the help of a machine much more could be accomplished. - The young girls of the cooking class are interested in their work. The program is still the same as in previous years. As many of the girls leave school after graduating from the grammar school, would it not be a possible thing to have them instructed in this line during the last year in the grammar school? Respectfully, MARIA F. GROTE. Supervisor of Drawing. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools, Dear sir:—The work in drawing in the schools has been up to the standard and has shown a reasonable amount of improvement. In the primary grades the -little ones draw with freedom and animation. It is interesting as well as surprising- to see the conception and representation of some of the stories that they have been drawing the past term. The pupils of the intermediate grade have studied the simplest type forms and the laws of perspective so as to unconsciously modify every object to be drawn: Much interest has been shown in the grammar grades, particularly in regard to individual illustration and design.. Many a pupil has, through indifferent attempts at original design, been awakened to new desires and a little wholesome pride. The pupil grows mentally, develops his powers of observation and comparison and must, to do good work, com- prehend the laws of repetition, alternation and proportion. Taking into consideration the timc allowed for drawing in the high school, we have accomplished more than could be expected_ Some of the pupils have been interested enough to bring drawings made at home to school for criticism. Throughout the course we have thought it of great impor- tance to study proportion, learning to judge the largest proportion first and others in order of size and value. We have aimed to have the drawing course practical and so dhsigned and modified as to suit the environment of the pupil as well as develop a genuine love for beauty and a discrimi- nating taste. 19 I have appreciated the cordial support of all the teachers, as the hearty co-operation of the arts wit'a the school seems necessary for high-grade work. — Respectfully submitter S. ISABELLE SMITH, Supervisor of Drawing. Supervisor of Music. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintecident of Schools, • Dear Sir:—For the past year the work of music in the pub- lic schools has been steadily advancing. Written work has been done at regular intervals in all grades. Beginning with the little folks in the first grade, pupils are taught how to write notes, regardless of name or position. In the second and third grades, as fast as a key is learned, they write the corresponding scale.. In the upper • grades more difficult notation is taken up in connection with scale work. In the intermediate grades pupils can te]1 at sight all keys and key signatures in treble clef. In the higher grades they can tell keys and key signatures in.both treble and bass clefs. There has been marked improvement in sight reading. The lack of ability to read readily at sight is one of the greatest deficiencies to contend with, not only in the schools of Yar- mouth, but in many other schools The aim for this year is for a more thorough knowledge of fundamental principles, and this knowledge well applied will surely bring a greater facility in sight reading. --- Respectfully submitted, LOUISE M.

The time of any meeting may be changed, or special meet- ings called by the chairman of the board. I 1 Report of the School Committee. The superintendent presents so exhaustive a report on the condition of the schools that the school committee finds that there is little to say in addition. From a perusal of his report the public will learn that the schools are in a satisfac- tory condition, and the outlook for another year is promising. There have been several changes in the teaching force for variousreasons, which seemed to be for the best interests of the schools. Some of these changes have caused considerable discussion, but as the members of the school committee take an oath to perform the duties to the best of their abilities, hones..ly and faithfully, and as they are in the position to judge what is best for the schools, the public should give them credit for honest intentions to place the schools on as high a grade of efficiency as is possible. The committee has only one aim—to make our schools equal to any on the Cape, and it feels that it is accomplishing that aim. The general public, that rarely, if ever, visits a school in regular session, is hardly in position to judge of a teacher's work, and the opinion _ of children should always be taken for what it is. Fifty years ago the committee in its report spoke of this same thing; but human nature has not changed, nor will it ever, but the com- mittee feels that the public should give it credit for having only this one aim,—the betterment of the schools. During the long vacation both Miss Shove and Miss Grote unexpectedly resigned. They had been in the service of the- town for many years and their resignations were greatly regretted. The committee takes this opportunity to express its appreciation of their ever faithful and commendable per - 2 • 6 formance of duty in connection with their work in the schools, and also of their great interest in the same. The committee wish here, also, to place upon record its regret that illness compelled Mr. E. F. Peirce to resign his position as principal of the high school. It has, on another occasion and in another place, expressed its appreciation of his many years of work and would simply add here' that only those who have come under his instruction and under his influence can fully appreciate the work he did for the young men and women under his charge. The committee ask the support and assistance of the parents and the public at large in the work of building up our schools; the teachers need such support, the superintendent needs such support, the committee needs such support, and in giving it, the whole town benefits. .

The regularity of attendance, always an important mat- ter in any school system has for some years been good in this town and is still slowly improving. In the report of last year it was announced that from the latest obtainable data from the state Yarmouth stood 43rd among the 354 towns and cities of the state in excellence of attendance. This year, from the same source, _it is found that Yarmouth stands 9th. This is indeed a high rank among the towns of the commonwealth. We can hardly hope to improve much upon this, and in fact it will be necessary to take measures to check the irregular attendance of some of the boys in the higher grades if we are to maintain the standard we have now reached. - - -- The returns also show that tardiness is on the decrease. Last year 310 cases of tardiness were reported;. this year the registers showed but 215 cases, distributed as follows: 10 11 12 12 15 18 29 43 65 . South Yarmouth primary, Yarmouth intermediate, South Yarmouth intermediate, Yarmouth high, West Yarmouth primary, West Yarmouth grammar, Yarmouth primary,. South Yarmouth grammar, Yarmouth grammar, 215 The high standard evidenced by our statistical returns is largely flue to the fact that the great majority of the par- ents are fully alive to the importance of prompt and regular attendance. 3 • g .. The attendance, the scholarship and the deportment of a few pupils have been materially injured by their parents' lack of interest in their school work and their failure to co-, operate with school authorities. The few parents who have been dissatisfied with teachers almost without exception have not taken the trouble to visit school or to consult the teacher about their children. • If parents would visit the schools and, in a friendly manner, consult with the teachers" concerning their children most misunderstandings ivould not occur and the teacher's work would be rendered much more helpful to the child. The schools began the year covered by this report with one-half of the teachers new to our schools. Notwithstand- ing this large percentage of change the work was taken up without disorder or loss of time and satisfactory progress. has been made in nearly every room in town. The schools continued without further change until the close of the year. In June it was decided to place a woman in charge of the grammar school at South Yarmouth. The grammar schools at Yarmouth and West Yarmouth have for year been suc- cessfully taught by women. In fact most of the country ;grammar schools are taught by women and -many city gram- mar schools have women for their principals. In this state the average male teacher's salary is more than $147 per month, while the average salary for female teachers is about $52 per month. In view of these facts it is felt that we may retain the services of competent women for our grammar schools but can hardly hope long to retain the services of competent men. Hiss Butman of the South Yarmouth inter- mediate on account of her excellent class work and marked ability as a disciplinarian was promoted to the grammar and :Miss Mary C. Warren was elected to the intermediate left. vaeant by the promotion of _hiss Butman. At the close of the school year in Julie Miss Shove' and _Miss (rote resigned their positions as supervisors . of the 10 industrial work. They were the first instructors in the in- dustrials to be employed by the town of Yarmouth and it is owing to their experienced, able and faithful efforts that the town has reached such high standard of excellence in industrial work. . In filling these vacancies it was decided to place the work in sloyd and drawing under the direction of one person, thus doing away with the services of one supervisor. Miss Emily M. Drew, formerly instructor in sloyd in Plymouth, was elect • - ed to take charge of the work in sloyd and drawing, and Miss Hannah A. Knowles of Yarmouth was elected super- visor of sewing and cooking. It seems that we have again been fortunate in the choice of instructors and at present work is progressing snioothly and uninterruptedly in all the various branches of the curriculum. Although matters are proceeding as_ above stated there is still chance for improvement. A lack of thoroughness is noted in the work of the upper grammar grades and much effort is being taken to remedy this defect. Information from many school systems indicates that in practically al] of the better grade of schools home work is required of the pupils in the upper grammar grades and in the high schools. The superintendent has directed the teachers to plan for the home study of pupils in the above mentioned grades. It. is difficult however to secure regular and effective home work unless the parents co-operate with the teachers in this matter. It appears that some of the pupils are allowed by their parents to be on the streets evenings when it would he much to their advantage if they were at home preparing some of their lessons for the next day. Parents can do much to improve the work of the grades mentioned by requiring their children to devote a certain amount of time regularly each evening to school work. 11 1 t MEDICAL. INSPECTION. The law of 1906 relative to medical inspection in the schools was quoted in the report of last year. 'Persuant of this Act medical inspectors have been appointed, but the inspection has hardly been carried to the extent intended by the law. The following relative to the character and degree of medical inspection is quoted from the state report; From what has been said it will be clear that the fundamental principle of section 13 of the new Act is the medical ex- amination and supervision not only of children known, or suspected, to be weakly or ailing, but of all children in the elementary schools, with a view to adopting and modifying the system of education to the needs and capacities of the child, securing the early detection of unsuspected defects, checking incipient maladies at their onset, and furnishing the facts which will guide educational authorities in relation to physical and mental development during school life. It is evident that—although-this work involves (a) medical in- spection of school children at regular intervals, (b) the oversight of the sanitation of the school buildings, and (c) the prevention, as far as may be, of the spread of infections and contagious diseases, including skin 'diseases—action in these three directions will be incomplete unless (d) the per- sonal and home life of the child are not brought under sys- tematic supervision. The home is the point at which health must be controlled ultimately." The character and degree of medical inspection will de- pend on the standpoint from which .the subject is viewed, the difficulty being, of course, to attainslue sense of propor- tion and uniformity, particularly as to fundamental points. Valuable to science though the findings of a more thorough and elaborate medical examination might be, it is the broad, simple necessities of a healthy life which must be kept in view: It cannot he doubted that a large proportion of the 12 • common diseases and physical unfitness in this country can be substantially diminished by effective public health ad- ministration, combined with' the teaching of hygiene, and a realization by teachers, parents and children.of its vital.im- portance. The spread of communicable diseases must be checked; children's heads and bodies must be kept dean; the commoner and more obvious physical defects •at least must be relieved, remedied or prevented; schoolrooms must be maintained in cleanly condition, and they must be properly lighted, well ventilated, and not overcrowded; the training of the mental faculties must not be divorced from physical culture and personal hygiene. It is these primary requirements which must first receive attention. It would seem that the iinportauee of this work' deserves the early attention of the town. ' By the resignation of Mr. Edward F. Peirce from the high school the .town lost the services of a valued and superior instructor whose eminent services through -a long period of years gave been of inealcuable benefit to the young people who have passed through the school. Mr., Philip Jewett, a graduate of the Boston university, was elected to fill the vacancy. - In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the teach- ers; the supervisors and to the members of the school board for the hearty co-operation that has given to the schools of Yarmouth another successful year. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E..CIIAFFIN; Superintendent of Schools. Principal of High School. Wm. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools: Dear Sir:—In response to your request I submit here- with the annual report of the Yarmouth high school. In • • assuming the position, so acceptably filled for many years - by Mr. E. F. Peirce, I have endeavored, as far as possible, to conduct the school along the lines he followed. Some minor changes have been made which, appear to be for the better. The total membership is at present 27, divided as follows: Freshmen 14,.Juniors 5, Seniors 7, Advanced 1. The spirit of the school.is excellent and the progress made thus far is satisfactory, considering the conditions under which we work. The Freshman class is particularly encouraging and promises to compare favorably with the best classes of -the past. • My predecessor has for many years in his annual reports emphasized 'the need of an assistant teacher. After three • months' experience I am convinced that in this one respect • only the school is inferior to similar schools throughout the state. It is not that the principal desires -to lighten his own work. for as a matter of fact the presence of another teacher would doubtless complicate and increase the ditiiculties aris- ing in the administration of the school. The chief reason is, that so long as the present curriculum is followed—(and I should be the Last to suggest dropping any subjects therein • contained)—it is impossible to give more than half the time ordinarily given -and required by the subjects taught. With hut twenty minutes allowed to a subject we cannot expect . the pupils to compare favorably in knowledge with those 14 of neighboring towns where from forty to sixty minutes is allowed. It is at least a little incongruous that a high school which offers excellent courses in music, drawing, cooking and sloyd, should be lacking in what is considered the chief essential to a good rural high school—an assistant teacher. During the last few years Mr. Peirce has had an assistant teaching French and German. In order to avoid taking a backward step Mrs. Jewett has taken two classes with no compensation other than the knowledge that the school is not retrograding. If the town were to provide an assistant teacher and ex- tend the course from 36 to 40 weeks it would be entitled— with the approval of the board of education—to receive three hundred dollars from the commonwealth. It does not appear to me that the present time and conditions demand • the perpetuation of the so-called "cranberry vacation," and I think the'towu can not do better than to availitsclf of this opportunity to improve its high school.. I have ventured an innovation in issuing monthly reports to all pupils. They state clearly the student's standing in all subjects. In cases in which there are deficiencies it has been made clear that pupils cannot gradnate until such de- ficiencies are made up. The principal will not recommend for graduation any pupil who has not satisfactorily com- pleted every subject prescribed by the curriculums. Only by a strict observance of this rule can the diploma be made of real value. In closing I am glad to take this opportunity to thank the committee and yourself for the continued support and in- terest extended to the- school and myself, and I wish to give to all, especially the parents, a cordial invitation to visit us and actively interest themselves in the school. Respectfully submitted, PIIILII' H. JEWETT. Yarmouth Port. Jan. 9,1909. Supervisor of Sewing and Cooking. Mr: W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools: Dear Sir:—In accordance with the wishes of the com- mittee, all the pupils in the sewing classes are, this year, making garments for themselves, instead -of theF younger ones following thc_little models as has been done years be- fore. Most of the pupils feel great enthusiasm about their work and are very anxious to do it well. The older girls, under supervision. cut` their garments themselves; while the younger grades help to cut theirs. The- sewing machine is very useful. It has seemed ad- visable to teach the younger as well as the older girls the use of the machine, for although they need help for a while, yet by the time that they reach the ninth grade—the last year that they come to the sewing class—they ought to be able to do very creditable work on it. This use of the machine does not mean that the hand- sewing is neglected. A number of girls' in each of the schools are making articles entirely by hand, and even the larger pieces, where help from the machine is needed, con - thin a great deal of hand sewing. The work in the cooking classes is, I think, along the line of previous years. The girls seem much interested in their work and show a steady improvement. Five one -burner kerosene stoves have .been given, this term, by Mrs. Agassiz, and these. combined with the range, enable the girls to do some individnal work which is very beneficial. Besides learning how to cook, we also give time and thought to other branches of housekeeping. We are par: 16 ticular to always keep our kitchen and all of its utensils tidy, and several times during the year, we have the pleasure, as well as the profit, of entertaining our friends. - Respectfully, HANNAH A. KNOWLES. Yarmouthport, Dec. 23, 1908. Supervisor of Music. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools: Dear Sir:—The progress of music in the different schools varies each year. Everything depends on the interest and ability of the regular teachers and whether the pupils are, as a school, singing pupils. The singing of two-part work is steadily advancing in the intermediate grades; in our grammar school we are singing four-part music with excellent success. The work in notation is being done in all grades. The scholars, as a whole, can read music better this year than last and do better written work. The aim of the year's work is to stimulate the pupils' interest and create enthusiasm. Particularly careful work has been done in the lower grades. The special teachers are particularly favored this year in having an unusually good corps of regular teachers. Respectfully submitted, LOUISE M. CROWELL. Supervisor of Sloyd and Drawing. Mr. W. E. Chaffin, Superintendent of Schools. Dear sir:—The pupils in the sloyd and drawing classes have shown much ability and have manifested an increasing interest in their work during the past three months. In the sloyd department the usual custom of making ar- ticles of use in the home has been followed, and several new models have been introduced involving different exercises. In the making of tables and magazine stands, for instance, the key joint has been employed. This is an interesting form of construction and in many cases is of decided ad -- vantage as the articles made can be taken apart and easily • put. together again. The question of providing suitable manual work for the advanced pupils in the high school is one' that requires • careful consideration. The introduction of turning or metal work at this stage would doubtless be of great advantage. In teaching the two subjects of wood working and draw- ing, it has been interesting to notice the close connection which exists between the two studies; good proportion, careful observation, appropriate applied design and the value of working drawings are emphasized in each course. . All the classes in drawing have worked from nature during the fall in either pencil. crayon or water color, and have ap- plied their study of plant form to design. Planning a design for something of use has been considered of more value than the making of abstract design and therefore the former method has been followed. - The studt of measurements, and of freehand lettering 19 with practical application of the same, have been impor- tant points also. The subjects to be studied next term will be working drawings, convergence of lines and foreshortening of sur- faces. Respectfully submitted, EMILY M. DREW, Teacher of Sloyd and Drawing.

DREW, DAVID KELLEY, 2D, School Committee. Superintendents Report. Yarmouthport, Mass., December 31, 1909. To the School Committee of•Yarmouth: Gentlemen—I present herewith my first annual report, it being the eighteenth in the series of the district superintendent's report Since my teriu of office has extended as yet over only six months, during three of which schools were not in session; it fol- lows, naturally, that 1 have not at the present _time that intimate and thoro acquaintance with all phases of the school situation that longer service should supply. Yet there are certain con- ditions and features now existing that have speedily revealed themselves, and which I believe are well worth your. consideration. These I shall treat under the following separate headings: School Buildings and Grounds. . Perhaps the most serious of the_ mechanical problems of the cotmtry school is that of heating and at the same time properly ventilating. In these days' the nee. of growing children for a constant supply of pure air is generally recognized, tho occasion- ally janitors and even parents are found who seem oblivious to this necessity. In the smallest of our schoolhouses we must con- tinue to use the stove, ventilating by the windows, but the former should be jacketed and the latter provided with suitable boards or screens for the protection of the pupils. In a large building, however, such as the four -room strue _ure at Yarmouth, I see no reason why a modern furnace could not be installed in the base- ment and each class -rows supplied with heated fresh air. I recommend that your hoard seek information regarding different makes and kinds of heating plants, their expense and suitability to our particular needs, and that an improved system be put into use as soon as is consistent with wise selection. r 6 The great prevalence of defective vision among pupils warns us that we must make the best possible provision for light in our school rooms. The buildings erected today make this provision but our buildings put up about fifty years ago fall short in this respect. I regard the grammar room at South Yarmouth as the most prominent example of this shortcoming and therefore deserv- ing of first attention: In the dull fall days it is frequently im- possible to use the eyes without strain as early as half past two o'clock. The room is unusually large and is lighted by only five small windows. Moreover, the blackboards are on the wrong side to receive the light, while outside large poplar trees, even when leafless, shade this room more than the others. I suggest the advisability of either putting in more windows or installing a system of lights that could be used thru-the short dark days of November, December, and early January. • The fences bounding the two sides of the front yard of this South Yarmouth building are in poor condition. It will be economy in the end to replace this worn-out fencing with a kind more durable than wooden. I believe that all citizens will agree that the grounds of a public building add or detract, in no small measure, to or from the gen- eral appearance of a town. ]n villages such as our own, the schoolhouse and the church are the chief, if not the only public buildings. Should it not be the care of the responsible officials that neat and attractive fronts be .created, particularly where there is ample room on the sides or rear for play grounds? The front yard most needing attention at the present time is that at West Yarmouth. I recommend that definite plans be formed for the conversion of that sandy and uneven slope into something more pleasing to the view. Such plans need not be carried out"in their entirety in one year, but certain divisions of the whole plan could be executed at a moderate expense each season for several years, and in the end a permanent and satisfactory result would' be attained. 7 Teachers. I wish particularly to bring to your minds, gentlemen, and thru. you to the minds of our townspeople, the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure and retain competent teachers. In the district of which this town forms a part, out of twenty-five teachers (special instructors not counted) thirteen, or over fifty percent., left to go to other fields this last summer. To fill these vacancies we have had to take, as a rule, instructors of little or no experience and the most capable of these are•likely to leave• soon for more remunerative - positions. Every one knows how the cost of living has increased within the last few years. Wages in most lines of labor have been raised to meet in part this great- er burden, but our salary scale remains practically the same as it has been for the last decade or two. Young men and women are not going into school work in such proportionate numbers as formerly, other kinds of employment offering more -nearly ade- quate recompense. According to the last report of the State Board of Education, the schools of Massachusetts required .last year about 1500 new teachers. The nine State normal_ _ schools (omitting the normal art school) graduated but 539. Thus we are confronted by either of these prospects, the salary schedule must be raised in the near future to enable us to attract well equipped teachers, or the standard of the efficiency of our corps must fall behind that of the more progressive communities of the Commonwealth. It is worth while to note in this connection that Yarmouth is well able financially to make this advance. Its valu- ationper pupil ($10,613) is forty per cent above the State, average valuation per pupil ($7,534). Of the 354 towns and cities of Mas- sachusetts, Yarmouth ranks as the 314th according to the amount appropriated to the public schools for each thousand dollars of valuation. That is to say: there are 313 towns doing more for their schools, in proportion to their abliity, than our own is doing. 8 Special Studies. I wish to take this, my first opportunity, to express the satis- faction I take, both as a school official and a parent, in the fact that our town is offering to its children a course of studies in harmony with the best modern educational principles. The intro- duction of sloyd, sewing, and cooking, that the initiative of a pub- lic-spirited townswoman and her generous contributions, together with the wise response of our people, marked one of the great forward steps in our school history and has made Yarmouth a leader in this section of the State. The old New England farm homes with their large families and varied manual activities are gone. Today the,boy is an exception who has to care for the horses, milk the cows, cut the wood, go into the field to plant, cultivate, and harvest, and use tools in mending and building. Few girls have to help regularly with the washing, baking, brew ing, and sewing. Under the earlier conditions "faculty was the greatest virtue, and shiftlessness the greatest vice, of the Yankee man or woman." The average home does not, cannot as a rule, furnish this manual training that made for capability, resource- fulness, and skilfulness. The public school must meet and fill this lack, as best it can. Thebook and pencil alone will yield but a one-sided education for life. I maintain that if it were a choice of one or the other condition, it would snake far more for the happiness and prosperity of the community for our girls to know how to darn stockings neatly, snake plain garments, and cook an appetizing and wholesome dinner, than to be able to translate a page of French or demonstrate a problem in geometry. And the boy who knows how to use a hammer, square, saw, and chisel, or make a working drawing need not be thought of as being pushed into a trade, but all his life long he will be able to do practical things for himself and others that would he impossi- ble without such training. The measure in which such schdol training has been furnished by progressive nations abroad andthe increasing measure in which.eities and towns over all our country tare providing it; proves how its worth is "being. recognized. If there should he afew\of our citizens who are yet --skeptical con- cerning the value of this sort of instruction, I commend to them the investigation and study of .the aims, methods and results of such teaching,- feeling certain that when informed regarding them none will be in more hearty accord with the work than they. • The High School. • In my opinion, there is in our whole system but one pronounced 4. weakness and that is to be found. in the high school. I quote, from, an agent of. the State Board of Education, who has recent- ly inspected the school: "Notwithstanding the fact that the teachers have been trying to do their best, I regret to say that the work of the school is very unsatisfactory. It cannot otherwise, for teachers cannot do the impossible, and it is impossi- ble for one teacher to hear daily from twelve to sixteen recitations in high school subjects with, all that is required in the way of illustration and discussion, and get good results. Consequently the school is below grade and the scholarship is poor. . . . a law of the State does. not reeognnize a school as a high school " ! that has less than two teachers • It seems to me that Yarmouth is amply able to maintain a high school that would be a credit to the town." At a recent meeting of the Cape Cod siperintendents, when the •E country high school was discussed at length, it was the uuaiL- i rious opinion of these officials that it is physically and mentally impossible for one teacher alone to do the wcerk of a standard high school and that a school so equipped should either be furnished with an assistant or placed upon a two years' course basis, with . provisions for.the pupils' finishing the regular four years' course at a neighboring standard high school. The need of an assistant has long been. recognized by the teachers who have labored con-_ seientiously in the school. To quote again, this time from toe principal's report of last year, "It is at least a. little incongruous that a high school which offers excellent courses in music, draw- 10 ing, cooking, and sloyd, should be lacking in what is considered the chief essential to a good rural high school — an assistant teacher." The present principal, also, emphasizes this need in his accompanying report. I believe the time is now ripe for this defect to be remedied and I earnestly recommend that steps to this effect be taken. Age of Admission to First Grade and Drinking Arrangements. I- am glad to record here for the benefit of parents two pieces of wise legislation lately passed by your board. _ In a' country school system, without the' kindergarten and with several grades in one room, it seems to most people familiar with school -af- fairs not beneficial to a child to eater him at so early an age as five years. The transition from home with its freedom to school with its necessary order and restraint is a serious event in his life. IIe is better able, in body and mind, to accommodate him- self to this change at six, experience showing a gain .in not only health but in scholarship also before the end of the course is reached. By your rule, as it- now stands, the child must be six years old when he enters in the fall, or six before the first of January following. The general drinking cup has been ordered abolished, suitable covered, earthen tanks equipped with a faucet are to be placed in 'eaeli room, and pupils are required to bring their own indi- vidual drinking cups, taking them home frequently for thoro cleansing. This will mean greater safety for ail as regards contagious diseases: - Smoking Among School Boys. I cannot omit a word of warning to parents in regard to this habit, which I have found to be prevalent among high school boys and, I regret still more to say, to a certain extent among grammar school boys. I am convinced that much of the poor scholarship now existing among these boys is due to this folly. The boys . of thirteen or fourteen, or even seventeen or eighteen, cannot do what a man twenty-five or thirty may do, with the same results. "Even the scientists who claim that `tobacco may be used with - 11 out bad effects when used moderately by people who are in con- dition to use it,' declare emphatically that tobacco `must not be used in any form by growing children or youths'." The italics are mine. The State in recognition of this truth has restricted the sale of tobacco to minors. The school has charge of pupils for about thirty hours of the week. For the other one hundred thirty-eight hours the home is responsible. The wise- and reso- lute father or mother can do much to save the boy from this or any other pernicious habit. In closing, I wish to thank the teachers for the kindly spirit in which they welcomed me to the school force and for their will- ing co-operation, also to gratefully acknowledge the ready sur - port extended me by your hoard from the very first. Trusting I may be able to administer the affairs of my office in the fut- ure so as to merit your continued confidence, I remain Yours respectfully,, C. R. STACY. ;.f 1116'1 11 1 1 1 NI1 • 1t , ,t. ,; t• { Principal of High School. the Superintendent of Schools, Yarmouth, Mass., Dear sir: I desire to present some of my views, based upon twelve years' experience in high schools, both rural and urban, as to a few of the existing conditions in the school under my charge, and as to the means that may, be taken to remove some of the more troublesome problems. Some of the more perplexing problems we have to face at the present time are,—first, how to secure a higher standard of scholarship, and to remove the lack of indi- vidual responsibility for daily tasks; second, how to arouse to an absorbing interest in study, the larger proportion of the stu- dent -body, who are conveyed by barges and have only • a few moments of, time per day for that personal oversight and direc- tion of the teacher that so often is the making of a student; third, how to follow up the daily work of each pupil in all sub- jects pursued, and to fulfill all that is usually demanded in a good three years' course of study; fourth, how to accomplish all this with the present equipment of the school in the limited time at the teacher's disposal; fifth, how to raise the discipline and tone of the school so as to eliminate a waste of time due to forms of distraction. ,The school, at present, when all are at work, • and discipline is excellent, could, under one teacher's instruction, accomplish only about enough work in the three years to meet the requirements of. the first. two years of an average modern high school course. .At present, we cannot do this. The schedule of 58 recitations per week besides sloyd, cooking; drawing, and mu- sic, made possible .by frequent combination of two -class -recita- tions, one oral; the other written, makes it impossible to do more 13 than to simply hear the pupils recite, and in most 'eases the lessons cannot be completed in the time allotted. Class explana- tions and elucidations are for the most part out of question. The results, therefore, cannot fail to be poor. To meet these difficul- ties, I see no method within our means except by the employ- ment of an assistant teacher. I am convinced that in this way, many of the present conditions 'of lax discipline,. weak seholar- ship, poor results, lack of personal direction of individual pupils, i will be in a -fair way of settlement. Two four-year courses, one preparing for the colleges, normal and scientific schools, could then- be easily arranged, making it unnecessary for any pupils to attend elsewhere for two or three years at a great expense before entrance upon higher schools of learning. Periods of recitation could then be lengthened from twenty and twenty-five min- utes each to forty and forty-five minutes. The ef-- ° festiveness of the school will be. thus increased, at least three- fold; the quality of instruction will be greatly improved be- cause each teacher will direct his own special subjects, and natu- rally, pupils will receive greater enthusiasm for endeavor. It will allow each teacher opportunity to overlook personally the work of each pupil in the several branches. The principal will be able to attend to many matters of administration not only in his own room, but in all parts of the building and the grounds. It cannot fail to improve the tone of the school both indoors and eat. As you are doubtless aware, there often arise many incidents • in every high school, where the girls need a lady teacher to con- sult and to direct. It will give time to secure closer co-opera- tion of parents with the teaching force. Measured by any stand- Prd you may apply, the town cannot but gain froiu such increase i❑ fhe efficiency of the school. No pupil should be compelled to spend three years' time in acquiring imperfectly what could more easily and more thoroughly be gained in two years' time under the better conditions afforded by having two teachers. I, therefore, most earnestly urge the employment at the earliest possible moment ofan assistant in our high school, and the plac- -: • r z 14 ing of the high school on such basis as to receive the approval of the State Board of Education and also the right of certification from the New England College Entrance Certification Board. Iam Yours respectfully, ALBERT T. LANE, A. M., Principal. Supervisor of Music. Mr Chester R. Stacy, Sup't of Schools, Dear Sir:—The work in music is progressing in a most satis- factory manner. The high and grammar grades are singing three-part music,– the intermediate two-part, while the little people in the primary are singing their songs with motions, which teaches them the sense of rhythm. Rhythm being an important factor in music, special attention has been given to time -beating in all the grades, and marked improvement is already shown.. • The third grade in the primary room is taking up sight reading and using books preparatory to entering the intermediate grades. Sight reading, ear -training and written work are being taught in every grade. Much credit is due the regular teachers_who _so heartily co- operate with -me for the advancement of the school music. Most respectfully, - - INA F. NICKERSON, Supervisor of Music. t{ t Supervisor of Sewing and Cooking, Mr C. R. Stacy, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir:—The pupils in the sewing classes, with the exception of the ninth grade, are this year following along the lines of last year's work, that is, making undergarments for themselves. The ninth grade girls are making their cooking caps and ap- rons, as usual, and are also making dresses. This introduction of dressmaking in the last year has been received by the girls with great enthusiasm. In order to benefit by it, they are will- ing to d� practically all the work at home, and let the one hour a week, which we have together in school, go towards planning home work for the coming week. These lessons in dressmaking seem to me very important, because they teach cutting and fitting as well as • sewing. A marked improvement is found in all grades of the sewing classes this year, probably because the children are now used to working on the larger pieces. They are not only doing better work, but they are working much more quickly. A sewing machine for each school is a great help to the super- visor and also to the pupils. The work in the cooking department is along very practical lines. The afternoon class, whiAh is the freshman class, for the first term do a great of individual work; but the morning class always gets a simple meaL We cook dur Cape Cod products in their season, and in as palatable and nutritious a manner as we may. • The recipes which the girls have used in school Friday they of- ten try at home Saturday; and any recipe which a girl has used at home and found satisfactory we are always glad to try in the schooL 1, The -chemistry of cooking we study_in a very simple manner,. but to the' hygiene of cooking we try to give our careful attention. Respectfully, HANNAH A. KNOWLES, Supervisor of Cooking and Sewing. Supervisor of Sloyd and Drawing. Mr. C. R. Stacy, Superintendent of Schools, Dear sir: In giving a report of the subjects which come under my supervision, it may be well to consider briefly some of the rea- sons for introducing sloyd and drawing into the public schools. Manual training and drawing are the only studies with the exception of sewing in which skill of hand is systematically taught, the only studies in which correct clear thinking is mani fested in skilful hand work. The aim in teaching these subjects is to make the manual arts of vital importance in the education of children; to give the pupils practical studies which are clearly related to their daily lives; to encourage industrious effort in the right direction; to help in the formation of habits of orderliness and neatness and to assist the children to recognize the satisfaction which comes from overcoming difficulties. The achievement may be the proper construction of a box, or it may be the correct perspec- tive drawing of some familiar object, but in either case, ability to conquer obstacles has been brought to light. The study of sloyd is not introduced for the purpose of making carpenters of the pupils, although such a course is, necessarily, a good preparation for further tool work. The real object is . to unfold those qualities in the student which go toward the mak- ing of an industrious, observing, honest, practical citizen, whatever the profession may be. With this in view, an effort has been made to encourage the pupils to think more of the quality of the work in hand than of the quantity of articles made, and . to remind them to control themselves as well as to control their tools; thereby seeking to maintain a higher standard of work and of deportment. • 19 With a . few exceptions the work has all been in three dimen- sions, and thus the finished product represents broad - surface - planing - planing as well as narrow surface and end planing. Although a general course of work has been outlined, it has often been - rvaried when it has seemed wise to do so. Staining, filling and shellacing has been taught and applied•to the finished pieces of" work when desirable. As the purpose in teaching sloyd is not primarily to make car- penters, so the aim in introducing drawing into the public schools is not to make artists of the children, although an earnest effort is made to lead the pupils to enjoy beauty of form and color everywhere. Drawing is a means of expression just as language is, and a neglect of the study of either may seriously handicap one. It is certainly true that a study of drawing develops ofle's powers of observation and gives one greater ability to appreciate the good work of others. It has been well said that "a person who de- signs even a poor book cover is forever after better able to ap- preciate a good one." As the time given to drawing is very limited, it was considered unwise to attempt many branches of work, interesting as they might be. "The greatest good to the greatest number" was taken into account. Consequently all the grades were taught in different degrees the fundamental elements of darwing, such as the position of objects, the perspective of objects - on a flat surface, geographical drawings representing land and water and geometri- cal forms as the foundation of object drawing. Freehand letter- ing has been studied and mechanical drawings have been made in connection with the sloyd work. In the spring and fall, studies from nature were made in pencil and color, and the necessity of such study illustrated in the application of nature forms to de- sign upon some article of use. Simple designing on squared paper has been studied as well as pictorial color work and sil- houettes. 20 Much is said nowadays of industrial training and its advan- tages. It has been helpful to me to remember that all training, whether it is classed under the head of sloyd or of drawing, is truly industrial training, and that this important training begins with the primary grades in our schools and is continued through the high schooL Respectfully submitted, EMILY M.
