The work,as planned and mapped out by my predecessor:' is being continued without many changes. The schoolroom work this past term has been pretty closely • supervised and I feel that the results secured have been of as high order _as can be expected • from overloaded school rooms. We 'must have an assistant at Yarmouthport to divide her time between the grammar and pri- - mary rooms from this time on until conditions change. TEACHERS We are fortunate in having a most excellent corps of teachers:... Every one, I believe, is either a Normal School or College gradu- ate. If they continue to measure up during the rest of the .year as they have so far, every reasonable effort should be made to retain them. The supply of good teachers with some experience has not equalled the demand this year. The enrollment at -the Normal Schools has fallen off and it seems altogether probable that the enrollment will be affected still more next year. , The govern- ment is taking many more girls than ever before. Business house are employing women where formerly men were employed. Many are becoming nurses, etc. Some are leaving teaching to accept these positions. Advances in salaries are not keeping pace with • the rapidly increasing' cost of living. For illustration, a teacher :- in this district was given an increase of fifty dollars for this year, . but she has to pay seventy-six dollars a year more for board, a deficit of twenty, six ' dollars. In addition, other necessary ex- penses have increased accordingly. Under these conditions should . we not expect bright, ambitious girls to seek these better paying: positions ! k • 6 PENMANSHIP The Palmer Muscular System is in nse throughout the dis- trict. Now this system, like all muscular systems, is fundamentally orrect, but it seems to me the chief aim of the Palmer System, which is speed, speed, and then more speed, is not the end the most to be desired. In getting this speed limit a few special drills are over emphasized at the expense of letter formation. These special drills are started in the earliest grades and then it is speed, speed forever after. In visiting schools where this system is in use you notice the show- specimens of penmanship are almost always some of these special drills. Now I am not recommending the discontinuance of these drills but I do believe that instead of being used almost the -entire writing period throughout the grades, their use should be reduced to a minimum amount of time and then used only as aids in letter formation. I am quite convinced that the first years in writing should be given almost entirely to letter formation and that in later years we need to do a whole lot more of this than we are now doing. In fact so thoroughly convinced am I of the soundness of this belief that I am asking the teachers to have less of this drill work and to have more work in letter formation, not only of letters alone but also in combinations of words and sentences. MUSIC' Although Russell P. Ryerson started work this fall as super- visor of music, it seemed best to make a change. Mr. Alexander E. Cleary has been selected to fill this position. The union of this district, with Falmouth is to continue for the present. The mat- ter of hiring a supervisor of music for full time for this district was seriously considered. I am not sure now but what better results could be secured by hiring a teacher for full time at a salary of nine hundred or one thousand dollars. MANUAL TRAINING • The teacher of Sloyd and Drawing elected last summer failed to put in appearance at the opening of the schools. On inquiry it was learned that he bad been drafted for military service but had.., failed to notify anyone of the fact. It was impossible at this time to find a regular sloyd instructor; so we were compelled to fall back upon a non-professional, practical man if sloyd work was to - be continued. Mr Henry B. Heyman cf Dennis, a man of much practical experience in this line of work, was selected for the position. Our situation was similar to many others in the New , England states at least. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The work of Domestic Science is being carried on this year as of previous years under the skilful instruction of Miss Hannah Knowles. FINANCIAL So far as I know there are no bilis being carried over to be loaded upon next year's appropriations. I believe that unless unusual conditions arise we should know .pretty, near what we. are going to need for the following year and then keep close to that appropriation. These .are unusual times and it is impossible, as formerly, to make a close estimate of costs for the following year. Conservation is one of the watchwords of the times and it is neces- sary that every dollar is spent to the bes; advantage. Carefulness in the use of fuel should be urged upon janitors and teachers. Carefulness in the use of schoolroom supplies is being emphasized. Waste baskets are subject to frequent examinations by the super- , intendent. Cost of all supplies, by extreme carefulness, should be ., kept to a minimum amount. 8 .

To the School Committee c•f -Yarmouth, Gentlemen: -- I have the pleasure of presenting you my second annual report. The coal shortage did not serbusly affect the school work during the first part of the year; but the last part certainly has been very seriously affected by the prevailing influenza. All the grades, as well as the high school, opened the first week in September in order to have a long continuous term of sixteen weeks. This -was done, partly, in order, if it became necessary, to have a longer Christmas vacation so that we might do our bit in the conservation of coaL - But_ "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft agley." This Mall the schools opened under very favorable conditions and everything indicated a very successful sixteen weeks of school; but at the end of about five weeks they were closed on account of the epidemic of Spanish influenza and again near the end of the term. This, with the many cases of absence `on account of sickness, has seriously interfered with the work of the year. Nevertheless, we have been more fortunate than many towns in the state; for a considerable number of them have had only from five to eight weeks of school this fall, while we have had practically twelve out of the possible sixteen. weeks. There has been and still is a great dearth in teachers, especially for high schools. This condition will prevail to a considerable ex- tent this coming year. It is estimated that New York city during the opening weeks of the fall term was short four hundred teachers. Many places in Massachusetts were short from one to several teachers and many of them are still without the usual number. This with the high cost of living and larger salaries paid ia. other lines of employment has caused a considerable increase in salaries all along the line. Very few men at the beginning of the 116 summer could be hired under sixteen hundred dollars and there were practically none at the end of the summer. Our former principal resighing the first half of August, -left us in rather a serious situation.1The situation was gone over with a fine toothed comb and only two possibilities found._ Each of these, after being hired, was notified by y the examining board that he had been reclassified and would be called for limited service. The .last one hired was so notified Monday, the day before school opened: - The high school opened without a principal and with, one teacher short. At the beginning of the second week a lady teacher - was secured to make up the regular quota. This condition pre- vailed until Thanksgiving time when it seemed best to pay more than sixteen hundred dollars and secure a man for principal; Many places were compelled to select a lady principal for their high schools. The West and -particularly the North part of the town are facing a situation that is decidedly serious in the future hiring of teachers. As it happens this year, the two teachers in West Yar- mouth are boarding at the Normal Hall in Hyannis. The writer, unsuccessfully, hunted the North part of the town over for board- ing places for the teachers. The teachers themselves, unsuccess- fully, scoured this part of the town for boarding places. Finally they were compelled to hire rooms, or a tenement sparingly fur- nished, and send home for bedding, dishes, table linen, etc., and go to housekeeping. This is a most unfortunate situation: meals irregular, improperly prepared, time taken for house work that should be used for recreation, home life not the most conducive to that spirit which yields the best results in the school room, teacher's health liable to be impaired, and poorer work in the school room than would be the case if the teacher's out -of -school - life was such as to make her the most efficient. After sixteen weeks of such home -life, the health.of one teacher has broken down and she has resigned her position. z 117 These .teachers cannot be blamed if they do not return next year. Furthermore, it_is going to be impossible to get such teachers as we want to be the associates and 'guides of our chil- dren, to come to Yarmouth under such adverse circumstances. The situation is serious and needs prompt and serious attention not only from the committee, but from the citizens as well. ,What shall the superintendent do when looking for teachers now or more particularly next summer, .and is asked about the possibility of securing good boarding places? ' This year it is costing the teachers from nine to ten dollars a week for board. From this it would seem, that if the teachers are to receive a reasonable wage, they should not be paid less than twenty dollars a week. This is small when compared with the wages their sisters are receiving in other lines of employment. The high school building is inadequate for efficient work. The work of three grade teachers is being conducted in two rooms. This leads to more or less confusion, to a considerable inattention on the part of the pupils when two recitations are being con- ducted at the same time, and to lack of concentration by both pupils and teachers. In the high school three years of science is offered: general science the first year, biology the second year,/and either physics. or chemistry the third year. Now there is a considerable amount of apparatus for all of this work but absolutely no suitable place for using it. A room for -a laboratory is urgently needed before real efficient work can be done. Furthermore another room for commercial work is needed. In all, three more rooms, at the least, are necessary for good working conditions,—one for the grades and two for the high school. The manual training department is being conducted by Mr. Henry Heymann, a man of large practical experience. Hence the practical side of the work is being much more emphasized than - ever before. The stock on hand is stored in the basement of the- 1 118 • regular school building. . It is planned to give more emphasis to the work in manual training and domestic science another year and to make these departments more efficient and utilitarian. The Community Canning Club, conducted in the domestic science room this past summer, was a success. The writer rather expected this work was to be carried on as a function of the school work during the school year. But, rather to his surprise, after the club was successfully launched by permission of the school officials, the Cape Cod Bureau seemed to take it upon themselves to assume control. . The promotion of this work was made possible, this year, by the generosity of Mrs. Agassiz, who is intensely interested in the town of. Yarmouth and who is doing so much to develop the practical arts in our Schools. I am recommending that the Community Canning Club be carried on next summer, as extension, work of the school and under control of the school committee. The classes in sewing have been .doing Red Cross work and in all probability will continue to do so for the rest of the year:. During the past summer M:r. Alexander Cleary, supervisor of music, was drafted into the service. He was voted leave of ab- sence and it is expected he will resume the work on his return. Late in the fall Mr. H. 0. Wetherell of Falmouth was selected as supervisor of music. Mr. Wetherell has taken up the work in a strong, vigorous manner. In conclusion, I would call your attention to the appended report of the domestic science teacher and other school data. Also I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the loyalty and co-operation of the teachers and support of the com- mittee during the most trying year in my experience of school work. Respectfully submitted; ALBERTO W. SMALL. At the regular meeting of the School Committee, Dec. 30, 1918, it was voted to adopt the report of the Superintendent as the report of the Committee. J 1 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF SEWING AND COOKING. Yarmouthport, Mass.. December 31, 1918. Mr. Alberto W.' Small, Superintendent of Schools, • Dear Sir: Through necessity and through patriotism, the Domestic Science department during its activities. to meet the condition of the times. ast year, has temperede its year which has passed, although showing no radical changes, of the has broadened and extended, ges, has The cooking department has tried to work out the problem of food substitutes in a manner which could be taken directl the home and used agreeably and sensibly. y into During the summer as many of the girls as cared to do so helped to run a community kitchen, which put up 10 vegetables and fruits. This proved more of abu. nes87t apints of n one would realize unless a careful study of the problem were made_ It gave experience not only in preserving but in bookkeeping general business principles. It helped to develop strength of char- acter, a firmness of purpose and sense of obligation, which kept the worker on duty even when' the heat in the kitchen was almost unbearable or when some outside pleasure had to be denied. Never once through all the experience which was in many ways trying did one of the girls desert. The grade sewing followed the line of years before with more emphasis laid on knitting. Some of the younger girls became very expert in this art. On account of the higher cost of materials, we decided that two articles, instead of three, furnished by the town, would be fair. Through the kindness and courtesy of the Friday club, the High school sewing class met in the Friday club rooms with the mem- bers. This gave the girls a chance to work on hospital and garments and gain quite a varied experience along that line. r Tre ere was much knitting done by them also, such as sweaters, mufflers, socks, .helmets and wristers. Besides the work for the soldiers, the girls somewhat un hsmpt d a and dresses for themselves, although, they were .by the high cost of materials. spectfnlly, HANNAH A.

To the School Committee of Yarmouth Gentlemen: ' • In reviewing the work for the year ending December 1919, no material change has been made in the subjects taught nor... in the methods of teaching them. • - - Teaching depends upon the professional ambition of the teach. _ - -er and knowledge of the subjects taught combined with experi - -ence, a good general knowledge of'aliied subjects, a thorough nn= - •derstanding of the needs of .the community and the trend of the - times. - - Moreover the . teacher should be possessed of a strong moral -consciousness of her position and its requirements not only in the - schoolroom but also in the community; furthermore the teacher should be reasonably careful of her personal appearance, careful to keep her desk and room neat and in order, to be economic with efficiency in the use of school supplies and to teach the children the same principles so emphatically that they will carry it out into the life of the community. The complaint is frequently made that our schools are not up to standard. Now this depends Iargely upon the standard by which these complainants measure our schools. Usually, I fear, the standard taken is the schools of larger towns and eities where -- - -the condition ia favorable for obtaining and retaining for a long - term of time, teachers of large experience, well equipped in their work, professionally strong, and who have one„ or at the most, two grades. Furthermore these teachers are those . who have been - -through the fiery furnace of our rural schools and are the sur: vival of the fittest. - • Now on the other hand. our schools, on account of the limited :amount of money appropriated by the towns, are compelled tb .employ young teachers who are limited in experience and knowl- edge of subjects taught. Whenever a young teacher is secured- . - , 1 • • • 11.11. who shoWs progress and growth she moves in, a short time to the - larger town or city. Now. it would seem to be only just, if you are measuring\ the standard of our schools, that They be measured by the \ standard of schools in those towns where the same conditions . obtain as in our town.. Furthermore you must measure the re- sults and standard obtained, in the terms of what -you are willing to ray for teachers. supplies, and for well ventilated, well lighted and comfortable and homelike school buildings. In our high school an attempt is made to teachfour years of science. There is riot sufficient equipment for teaching . the sciences nor is there any, room for laboratory work if we had it. Results must of necessity be of a lower standard than obtained in tvtter equipped schools; "A Mr. Hopkins on one end of a-rog and a student on the other makes a school", does not obtain in our school life_ As (nib critic has said, we must pay the price if we wish to increase the demands upon the schools. 1 want to call your attention again to the fact that. there is a great need of at- least three t(ore rooms at the John Simpkins ;School. One -at least, two would be better. for seieuce work,' one . for commercial work and one for the grades. These additional rota would greatly facilitate and increase the efficiency of the schools - Our poliCy.• so far as possible, is to secure. teachers who are graduates of a normal school or college.. Even many of these with their added training and equipment seem to fall down in one essential: they prepare andpresenta lesson well and there it ends. seem to lack the initiative -to get the children to react upon the knowledge presented. Whether- it be in the grades or in the high school, teaching which fails toget this reaction is poor teach- Knowledire and mental growth of a child is not a mere re- --4- ceptive process as many think but the growing- capacity of the child to react upon facts and conditions presented: For the past two years; it has been -very difficult to get a saEeient supply of teachers. The supply is constantly growing 1 • . • :119 ' . From -now on and for next year ix, -particular, *it -will ibe a I difficult problem to find teachers for oar schools. The State Board of Education of New Hampshire has just _reported that- cighty schools in the state have had ,to close for laek IA teachers. with the probability of fifty more closing in'two .or three weeks_ _ This condition in New Hampshire probably exists to .a _greater or - less extent in all the states. _ So far it has been possible to keep the schools open. One or more ,of the teachers are likely to resign at any time. With the present shortage of teachers it will be very difficult :to fill any such vacancies. The condition at present is such that it. is practically impossible to find anyone for less than one thousand dollars. It will cost more by next summer. -` - - Textbooks and all:school supplies will cost considerably more the coming year. In fact it will be more difficult to get -siipplles this year than last. One of the popular expressions -of the flops is "American- ism." Why not Americanize our high schools? 'Why :teach one, -two, three and perhaps four foreign languages.? At this time I will not attempt to set forth what the larger _high schools should teach, but I feel quite strongly that the small high school should attempt only one foreign language at'the .most, and I .think I would even go so far as to say that no foreign language should be attempted. Americanize our schools and emphasize to a greater extent the .essentials .and the:natural and social sciences. In conclusion, I believe our schools are measuring up to a standard such as we may reasonably expect when measured in the terms of salaries paid, number .of grades to a teacher, and. I other factors. Furthermore I think we may feel well :pleased with 1 .our corps of teachers. • Respectfully\aubmitted, • '4amorma - _ALBERTO W.; --.SMALL. • ; /1;11a1111 1.11 111111i • • 1•1 1 4 • SCHOOL, CALENDAR, 1920.

Attest: CHARLES R. BASSETT, EDWARD T. CHASE, DAVID KELLEY; of our Selectmen of Yarmouth. • HENRY R. USHER, Constable. •., S • REPORT OF' SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. . "To theSchool Committee of Yarmouth, - Gentlemen : • I am, herewith, banding you a brief resume of that part of =the school work which has to do mostly with the instruction and welfare of the children of this town. • Since the committee assumes charge, directly, of the upkeep and operation of the school plants, it would seem rather more appropriate' that this phase of the wok should be covered by them. Teachers. The Times are out of joint. The same restless spirit prevails -among the laborers in the school room as in other lines of indus- - try. On account of this Yarmouth lost several of last year's . teachers. With the exception of Mr. Heymann, the entire corps of teachers in the high school is new. _ . Miss Abbie Nickerson, the_ grammar teacher at West Yar- mouth, having . been married during the year, resigned. -Miss Esther S. Carroll, a graduate from the three years' course at Salem 'Normal, and with two successful years of experience .in teaching, - 'u -as secured for the position. Miss Maude Thwing, the grammar teacher at South Yarmouth. after two, very successful years, decided to make a change. Miss Kathryn E. A. Mahan with two years at Boston University and with ten years of very successful teaching is rural schools, was secured for the position. In the high school Dwight S. Davis, a graduate from Massachusetts Agricul- tura! College,, is principal. Mr. Davis- had some business experi- ence and a part of one year's experience in teaching. Miss Maude Merrithew, a graduate from the three years'- course in the commer- cial department of the Salem Normal school and with three years' experience in the Middlebury, Vermont, High school; was placed in charge of the commercial department. Miss Alice M. • Simpson, a graduate from Boston University, with one year of . 4 teaching experience, accepted the English and French position. At the opening of the school, which was delayed one week on account of the principal having been summoned to a naval review for that time, Miss Hannah Knowles, who had been. head of the Domestic Science Department and' in addition had taught certain . other subjects in the regular courses of the high school very suc- cessfully for a' number of years, decided not to continue her work this year. Miss Fitz, the primary teacher on the North side, re- turned to her school work in September, but on account of illness of her mother• has since resigned. Miss Fitz was doing excellent work and the children were making steady progress. Her influ- ence over the children was morally strong and wholesome. She so conducted herself not only in the school room but also outside that she won and maintained the highest respect and love of her pupils. It was with a great deal of regret and a feeling of a great loss that her resignation was accepted. • Domestic Science. After the resignation of the former head of this department a strenuous search for a domestic science teacher was made. On account of the lateness in the season and .the scarcity of teachers none was found. The work in the high school was suffering and so the committee was forced to secure a teacher for the academic subjects for the rest of the year. Mrs. Ellen Shaw was secured for the position: As soon as possible, at least, it is the "aim of the committee to again offer domestic science to the grammar grades and the high school. Of late, at least, the work in domestic science has not seemed to appeal to the high school pupils. Only four elected the work .for this year.. For the fall of 1919 only a small number elected this course. The course should be broadened so that the work in the high school should not be a repetition of that in•the grades; with such an arrangement more of the girls would probably elect this subject. Manual Training. During this trying shortage of teachers we have been fortunate indeed to have in our sf•ivice at the head of the manual- wining 5 department, a man so practically well equipped as Mr. Heymann. When this part of the town has electric lights, it would seem advisable to connect the manual training shop and to install one or two motor driven machines. This would give an opportunity to broaden the scope of work and, I believe, would increase the interest and demand of the boys for .this subject_ As it now is, there is not a strong interest or demand for this line of work. Only ten boys elected shop this year. Of this number, it is. evident some'took it because they could not find other work that would be as easy. As in domestic science, I believe the work in the high school is too much of a repetition . of that in the grades. After two or three years of this in the grades, the children lose that keen in- terest so necessary for successful progress. By adding new lines, the interest of the high school boy can be maintained because of something evidently new to learn and of the seemingly greater utilitarian functioning of it in his future life. Boys and girls dislike to do things just for the sake of doing them. They must first have some preconceived aim or purpose for doing a. thing before a strong keen interest is aroused. " With this established, work becomes play. - High School. As long as the high school receives special financial aid_from the state, the kind and amount of work offered and carried for- ward must receive the approval of _the State_ Board of Education- Returns are made periodically to the Board and their approval or disapproval received. The Board strongly recommends that the principal shall have. his subjects so limited that a considerable portion of his time may be given to administrative work. Beginning with the fall of 1919 - the length of the school day was increased twenty minutes, the number of periods decreased _from seven to six and the work so arranged that the principal has two periods each day for this work. With a prineipal well equipped and having a strong profes-• 6 sional interest in his work this arrangement can be greatly to the advantage of the school. This will give him time to talk with pupils; to visit the classes of' his assistants frequently, 'to keep the _ parents informed of the kind and amount of work being done by_ the children, to look more closely after details, to keep his records complete to date, not only of the immediate school but of the fol- low up records of recent graduates, and for constructively, helping his assistants in planning and developing their work. 11 a princi- pal can and does .use the time for constructive administration work, the arrangement is greatly to the advantage of the school. If the time is used largely for class preparation the arrangement is . abused and the time given is not used to the advantage of the school. The use of this time measures the effectiveness of the principal. - Financial. Cost of schools for the school year 1900-1901 was $4,427.73. - ,For this year eight grade teachers were employed; three on the North, three on the South, and two on the West side of the town with only one teacher in the high school. For the year ending Dec. 31, 1911, the cost of the schools was $9,789.29. This year there were two teachers in the high school and eight in the grades distributed as above. The cost, of the schools for 1920 was $19,353.01. - - --- There are now six teachers in the grades with three full time and two part time teachers in the high school. At the present rate of salaries being paid. the school depart- ment is spending for this one item alone $14.790.00.

The school rooms at South Yarmouth were retinted during the summer vacation. The walls and ceilings of the halls and of the various school rooms in the building on the North side should be dressed over this summer. If possible, the outside of the building at' South Yarmouth should be painted. • During the summer of 1922 at the latest, the West Yarmouth building should be painted. New -desks are needed in some of the school rooms. The old ones need to be cleaned and dressed over. ' A. systematic scheme of repairs should be adopted and closely adhered to for the next few" years. 8 Music. Miss Doris M. Trickey from Northwood Narrows, New Ramp - 'shire,' a graduate from the -Boston Conservatory of Music, was secured as supervisor of music. The work in music seems to be progressive and the outlook is good for a successful year's work in this subject. In conclusion I wish to . call your attention to the report of the principal of the high school, the supervisor of music, the school calendar and other data. ' submitted, Respectfully ALBERTO W. SMALL. 34 9 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL... • Alberto W. Small, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir: The John_ Simpkins High School opened Sept. 13, 1920. withs. • a registration of 59 pupils; 35 girls .and 24 boys. The registration~ of the school on Jan. 3, 1921, was 57 35 girls and 22 boys. During ' the year 1920-1921, two"curriculums are offered, (1) academie, (2) commercial. There are enrolled in the commercial curriculum 9: Seniors. 6 Juniors, 8 Sophomores and 14__Freshman. a total of 37; - there are enrolled in the academic;curriculum, 2 Seniors, 1 Junior," • 4 Sophomores and 3 Freshman, a total of 10, making a total of 47 .students adhering to a different curriculum. This leaves 10 Stu- dents who are •going through High School with no definite course • to follow, and consequently no definite goal toward which to work. A rule stating that: "Every student upon his entrance to the- High heHigh School, is required to register in_a definite curriculum which shall have the written approval of parent or guardian. and every student shall pursue the required studies in .said curriculum. A • request for a change from one cinrriculuni to another, shall .be considered only when .accompanied by the written approval of parent or guardian." Such a• regulation would eliminate .aimless: wavering from one course to another and would result in the accomplishment of a- definite task. During the present school year, -the Commercial Department .is in charge of _Hiss Maude E Merrithew, a graduate of Salem Normal School. The course of studies for those. adhering to a. strictly commercial curriculum is as. follows: Freshman year_ English. Community. Civics, General Science and Introductory= Business; Sophomore year: English, Typewriting, Commercial Arithmetic, and Biology or Geom wetry; Junior year: English, Type- riting. Stenography and History; Senior year: English, Typewrit- - ing, Stenography, and Bookkeeping. • -The following studies are required of those adhering to a 'strictly academic curriculum: Freshman year: English, General • cs, • - 10 Science, Community Civics and Algebra Sophomore year: English, Biology or Geometry, French and Arithmetic; Junior year: Eng- lish, French, Physics or Chemistry, and History; Senior year: Eng- lish, French, Review Math. and History. Electives which• are offered to registrants in either commer- cial or academic curriculums are, as follows: Free hand drawing, mechanical drawing, and wood working. • . The Commercial Department during the -present school year is co-operating with other departments of the school, by doing stenographic services, mimeograph work, and the like. The School -Paper is printed under. the supervision of the Couunercial Depart- ment. '" The English and Foreign Language department is supervised by Miss Alice M. Simpson, a _graduate of Boston University. The English department besides following a preseribed course of study has taken charge of the work of editing the School Paper, and contributions to the School Paper are correlated to some degree With the regular work in English. _ The mathematic and science department is under the direction g -M.`� of the principal, D. S. Davis, a graduate of the Massachusetts Ag - 4. • ricultural College. Under this department comes the .study of practical physics, which this year includes studies of atmospheric conditions, phenomena of every day life, heat engines, simple prob- lems in domestic and -commercial engineering, magnetism and electricity. Four days of the week are spent in theoretical work in the class room, five recitations being spent in the laboratory learning from actual experience the theories which the students have learned in class. The laboratory studies are somewhat handi- capped by the Tack •of equipinent. It .is recommended that cer-- Jain inexpensive pieces of' properties dealing with applied mechanics and electricity, be installed in the laboratory: The history department is under the supervision of Mrs E. M. ' B. Shaw, a graduate of Vassar College. _ • The practieal arts work is in charge of Mr. Henry Heymann. Under the head .of student activities may be classed a School - 11 , Publication, namely, the "School Gossip." and the Athletic Asso- ciation. The former was organized after the first month of school.. The complete administrative staff of the paper was elected b, popular vote of the student body. The appointments of the various officers of the' school paper were sanctioned by the principal. ,'It is purposed to publislr this paper at least three times during the school year. It is found that such_ a publication when correlated with the routine work .of the various departments, adds to- the interest in •the school work. It also gives to the students • a sense of responsibility in the editing and publishing of the paper. The Athletic Association has not been formerly organized, and probably will not be until such time as regular school teams in some recognized sport shall be organized. The first team which will be organized will be the baseball team, in the spring. ".it has_ been deemed advisable to postpone any definite organization of the Athletic Association until -definite rules of eligibility shall have been determined by the authorities in the Cape Cod High School Baseball League. It is strongly recommended that, in order for a student to be eligible to participate in any interscholastic Ath- letic contest, he should be above a -passing grade in at least four of his :subjects. The reason for this recommendation is that in the John Simpkins High School only four -subjects a year -are required of, the, students, of which one maybe a study which re- quires no preparation, namely, the course in .practieal arts. Thus, with only three prepared studies, it would seers that the above eligibility rule would not be • too stringent. . The scholarship this year is of average quality. It is to be regretted, that in a few, cases, there seenis to be little. if any, in- terest taken by the parents, in the scholarship standing. of their children. It is hoped that during the remainder, of the year. the parents and all those interested in the work which the High School • is. doing, will find an opportunity to visit the High School and - inspect the institution in which they have a share. Respectfully submitted, • D. S. DAVIS, Principal. • 12 - REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC. To the Superintendent of Schools of Yarmouth, - Dear Sire I submit to you a brief report covering the work done in music in the schools of Yarmouth. The first and second grade children are learning rote songs and are studying the technique of music. • • • :The third and fourth grades in all the schools have made unusual progress and are now singing two part music. In the grammar grades, I commenced by giving them drills in reading and singing of syllables which was followed by one part -songs. At the present time, with the exception of one school, the pupils are -doing very -well with two part music. and in one school - enough progress has been made to enable me to introduce three part music. . The high school I found not quite up to the standard, due to the fact that they did not understand the technique of music. rUp to date, we have done mostly chorus work, but are now spending at least twenty minutes each period drilling on the fundamental principles.
