To the A.S'chool Committee of the Tozvn of Barnstable: Herein is presented the fifth annual report of the present superintendent of schools, the same being the tenth in the series of superintendents' reports. Previous to the year 1891, supervision was entrusted to the chairman of the school committee, who devoted m much time to the schools as could be spared from his regular vocation. My predecessor in office was the first person to make the schools the sole object of his care and attention. Heretofore the school statistics have covered the calendar year from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st. In this report and hereafter the statistics will be given for the period of the school year from September to June inclusive, in accordance with the request of the State Board of Education, who wish to make the statistical period uniform throughout the state. The financial. report is made for the calendar year as usual. Al ISCELLANEOUs. Our school system as a whole has wrought (rood results the past year. In one school a portion of the spring teriu's work was performed under difficulties rarely met with and entirely new to the school authorities. Two changes in the supervisor of music and drawing militated against the 115 largest measure of successful instruction in these branches. I find that it is no-easy matter to appoint a supervisor well qualified to direct the teaching in each of these depart- ments. It may be well for the town to consider whether it would not be wise to appropriate a sufficient sum of money to engage a special teacher of each subject. The appro- priation for the year now ended was $650. The town paid its first supervisor $750. By increasing this amount to $900, an appropriation would be available large enough to secure two good specialists, when one person with the requisite qualificati<ins can not be found for the smaller salary. The school curriculum, Hyannis alone excepted, has taken on no new studies since my last report was written. In the Training School a place has been made for Manual Training and Sewing, the former being taught to boys of the principal's room, and the latter to the girls of several grades besides those of the principal's room. It is to be re-retted that this kind of instruction cannot be made general. Undoubtedly our schools contain many pupils who would receive greater benefit from some form of in- dustrial training, than from some studies now taught that are distasteful and of necessity are learned with a maximum of effort. Outside of Hyannis the number of classes in a school varies from three to eight, and the time of the teacher is so crowded to make room for recitations in the studies required by law that no optional branches are pursued with the single exception of music. This fact alone would forbid anything to be done in industrial education, even if the question of expense of enlarged buildings and specially trained teachers were not involved. Occasional -rumblings are even now made because the cost of maintaining the schools is so great. It is my belief that while the school tax is large it is necessary, and that every dollar is wisely expended. The financial report of 116 the secretary gives in detail the manner in which the school appropriations have been spent, and taxpayers are invited to scrutinize this report carefully before criticisms are passed. The largest item of expense is for teachers' salaries. The secretary's statement shows that for primary teachers $10.00 a week has been paid, for intermediate $11.25, for gram- mar school from $12.50 to $17.50, according to length of service. Stating the case in another way, no teacher in the elementary schools receives $600.00 per annum for skilled services. It is a very common thing for unskilled labor to receive a larger wage than this. The principal of the Barnstable High School was paid a salary of $1,000.00, two assistant teachers $450.00 each, a total of '$1,900.00. There are but two other high schools in Barnstable County that require three teachers, viz., Provincetown and Falmouth. Provineetown pays its prin- cipal $1,026.00, first assistant $513.00, second assistant $456.00, a total of $1,995.00. Falmouth is more generous, the principal there receiving $1,400.00, first assistant $800.00, second assistant $600.00, a total of $2,800.00. It would seem that our school committee ought to be com- mended for securing and retaining good teachers at such a moderate rate of compensation. Other necessary items of expense are janitors, fuel, repairs, transportation, text books and supplies, and inci- dentals. The cost of transportation has exceeded the cost of any previous year. It would be possible to make a sav- ing here if the town did not care to deal justly by its citi- zens. Appropriations for transportation were first made by the town when the policy of consolidation was inaugu- rated, and were augmented when high school privileges -were demanded for all graduates of grammar schools, re- gardless of their places of residence. Until this year some patrons of the high schools have been obliged to pay a 117 portion of the expense of transportation. The committee and superintendent believe that if one patron's claims are paid in full all should be. Acting in accordance with this belief the committee recommended to the town that $1,800 be appropriated for transportation to high schools. This amount less $1.00 was voted, and all claims have been fully paid. I think no fair-minded person can object to a policy which treats all alike. The cost of text books and supplies has been $2.03 per pupil, not an exorbitant assessment when we remember that the cost of supplies for music and drawing is included. Several towns in this county have paid more for this account than Barnstable, viz. : In 1898, Sandwich, $2.73 per pupil, Brewster, $3.78, Falmouth, $2.24. A smaller appropria- tion will suffice the coming year, as many schools have sup- plies enough to meet their needs for the next two terms. This analysis of the school expenses is made in the hope that the present cost of education may not appear excessive or unnecessary. TEACRERS.

The teaching corps consists of twenty women and eight men, many of whom have been long in our service and have . established a reputation for efficiency and devotion to their calling of which they may well be proud. Those who have recently come to us are doing well in their several positions. A young• woman was appointed to the West Barnstable Grammar School last September (school began two weeks earlier than usual, all expenses being paid by a prominent resident of the village) to succeed Mr. Burtt N. Timbie, who had taught this school for nearly three years in a very satisfactory manner. The standard set by Mr. Timbie has been maintained by his successor. I call particular atten- tion to this change of teachers because it is seldom that in our town women are appointed as principals of grammar schools. This experiment seems to indicate that ability to 119 teach in grammar schools is not necessarily a question of sex. It is well known that I have regarded it as important that persons desiring to teach in Barnstable should have good previous training or experience. It is to me a matter of pride that I can make these statements concerning our teachers : Three are college graduates, twenty have attended Normal schools, sixteen of whom are graduates, nine from Bridgewater, five from Hyannis, one from Frain- ingham, one from Potsdam, N. Y. Our ranks contain successful teachers who have no college or normal school diploma, and I would in no wise speak of them in dispar- aging terms. They have gained by long experience in the school room what might have been achieved in a shorter time at a preparatory school. IMPROVEMENTS. During the summer vacation the old desks were removed from the Centreville Primary and the Santuit schools, and new adjustable desks with the latest improvements were substituted. The comfort of the pupils has been greatly enhanced and the appearance of the school rooms is more at- tractive. May the good work go on. Each year one or two schools should be refitted with new sittings until all schools are provided. I recommend that the Barnstable and East Barnstable Primary schools be the nest to receive at- tention. The Centreville schools have been connected with the water system of an adjoining private residence and new sinks have also been put in. Complaints of poor water were so frequent that this action seemed wise. Among the improvements with which the schools are now blessed are the modern text-books. The one thing needed on the part of the purchasing agent is wisdom to select aright from the almost endless number and varieties with 120 which school-book publishers assail him. It has been my endeavor to examine with a great deal of care the books that are to suppliant those long in use. When contemplating In a general introduction of new books I have made trials with one or two schools, and where success has followed I have caused a general replacement of old books with the new ones as soon as the old books were unfit for use. At the present time in several schools text-books in Arithmetic, Language and Grammar, and History are needed. Selec- tions have been made and adoption will soon be recom- mended to the committee. ITIGIT SCHOOLS. In the past decade our high schools have graduated 110 young men and women. Of this number 4.1 have attended higher institutions of learning•. Ten have taken decrees from Harvard University, Radcliffe College, Dartmouth College, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Middlebury College, Vt. Nine have re- ceived diplomas from the Bridgewater and Hyannis State Normal Schools. At the present time seven recent grad- uates are pursuing, courses in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, Amherst College,Lawrence Scientific School, University of Maine, and Georgetown University. Six are enrolled in the Hyannis State Normal. School. One is a student at the Massachusetts Normal Art School. Some who read this report will admit that the above showing is creditable to the school, but they will also declare that the benefits of the high school are confined to those who are preparing for college and normal school, citing the foregoing statements in support of their convictions. If this charge is true the cost of public high school education cannot be justified. Your superintendent holds to the belief that college preparation is but a. secondary object, that the 121 main purpose of the high school is to promote the general cul- ture of the musses. It is, of course, impossible to measure the amount of benefit conferred on those who do not go to college. For this reason it is sometimes thoughtlessly said that there is no benefit. It is a futile task to attempt to show some people that a higher education is desirable, although the capacity for earning dollars and cents may not be increased thereby. It is a source of satisfaction that our high schools are appreciated by the great majority of our citizens. As I have said in former reports, more and better work could be done if facilities for laboratory practice were provided. With a new building at Hyannis, or with the present one enlarged, there would be room for another teacher, who could take the commercial. and English branches. The time of the present corps of teachers is fully occupied with the studies of the existing curriculum. There is no opportunity for extending the commercial course with the present equipment of rooms and teachers. The town ouo-ht to face the higb school problem, instead of postponing it year after year. The Cotui.t High School Graduated its first class from a four near.,' course last June. One member of the class en- tered the Hyannis.Normal School in September. The graduates of the high schools for ten years are given in another part of this report. NEWTOWN AND PLAINS SCIFOOLS. The failure of the committee to unite the Newtown and Plains schools with the West Barnstable schools, was due to their inability to furnish transportation at a cost that would not exceed the expense of continuing the schools. Parents in the Newtown district were unanimously in favor of consolidation and hoped that it might be accomplished. Two dollars per day for conveyance proved to be no induce- ment. 122 The parents of pupils in the Plains school did not joy- fully contemplate the loss of their school, and the commit- tee, because of their failure at -"Newtown, did not press the matter further. I think the town, at its annual meeting, should discuss the discontinuance of these schools and in- struct the committee as to the best course to pursue. I have no hesitation in saying that a union is practicable. The question of expense is a Subject for the tax payers to settle. BAR STABLE GL'All.\MAP SG1-10OL. This school has had a large enrolment for a number of years, and will continue to have for some time to come. There are now over forty pupils assigned to four classes. The teacher finds but little time to devote to each pupil. The disadvantages tinder which the teacher of this school performs his duties are greater than those of any other _grammar school teacher in town. A reference to.the table O•iving the number of pupils in the several grades will show that in June West Barnstable Grammar School had 15 pupils in three grades, Cotuit 31 pupils in three grades, Os- tervil.le 25 pupils in four grades, Centreville 15 pupils in three grades, L-Iyannis 32 pupils in two grades. Barnstable had 41 pupils in four grades. Any one .it all. familiar with school work will see by this comparison that the principal of the last-nained school is not to be envied in his position. His duties are arduous. Some :assistance is very much needed. I anal pleased to write that a lady who can give half time to the work .at ttioderate compensation is known to the superintendent. _ I feel that it is due to the school. that this available aid be utilized. I therefore recon-Imend that Principal W. II. Crocker be (Aver an assistant teacher on half time. xtvTa-1 GRADE STUDIES. The studies of the ninth grade are arithmetic, bookkeep- ing, algebra, grammar, geography, history, civil govern- 123 went, elementary literature, and. physiology. As similar conditions do not prevail in the several grammar schools, the amount of time to be allowed each subject is determined by circumstances peculiar to each school. It frequently happens that a portion of the ninth year is needed to com- plete studies begun in the eighth year. No two schools present the same programs for the ninth grade for any one terns, but during. the year the studies prescribed are taken by all schools> It seems to rue that in applying courses of study flexibility is more desirable than uniformity. The ninth grade course possesses this merit to a large deo•ree. VERTICAL AVEITING. III some places attacks have recently been made on the round hand, upright style of penmanship. People who see little good in anything that is new are especially outspoken in their condemnation of this system of writin(.r. They ob- ject that it sacrifices speed and destroys individuality. Concerning legibility, the 2)rin;e requisite in writing, they are silent.� It cannot be denied that even poor vertical writing is legi- ble. The vertical writer is sure that what he has written can be read. Numerous are the slant writers who need an interpreter. In the matter of speed there is room for many opinions. I do not re`rard the matter as settled in favor of either system. As to individuality our experieilce goes to show that vertical writin does not lack this element. It is zn my conviction, based on a trial of four years, that the aver- age of good-penmanship in the schools of Barnstable has been raised as a result of the adoption of the vertical sys- tem. I believe in its continuance in the absence of know- led,Ye of a better system. MEANS OF ERPROVEilIENT FOR TEACHERS. The annual gatherings of teachers in institutes and con- 124 ventions are important factors in arousing interest, enlarg- ing knowledge and kindling inspiration for the performance of the manifold duties that devolve upon teachers. The state institute and county convention held it Hyannis in November, were attended by all of our teachers, and it is hoped that all received sufficient benefit to justify the committee in closing the schools for two days. Another and better instrumentality for the improvement of teachers is a. modern institution known as the summer school. The writer feels certain that no teacher is so bountifully endowed with wisdom that he or she cannot add to his or her proficiency by a course of study at a good summer school.. The teachers of Barnstable have a golden opportunity to attend such a school ri.o-ht at their own doors, for the nominal expense of board and incidentals. A prominent state superintendent has said that "some people die before they are ready for burial." I do not know that he would place any teachers in this class, but all teachers are aware that there is great danger of letting into a state hardly less commendable, viz., felling into ruts and not being able to extricate one's self. I caution teachers against thinking that a college or normal school diploma is a possession that exempts one from making use constantly of the best means of improvement. Many teachers offer as an excuse for not attending sum- mer schools, that their nervous energy is exhausted when the year closes, and that consequently they are in no con- dition to undergo severe mental labor. Happily in this town this excuse is not valid. Our summer vacation is of 1.5 weeks' duration. The length of Sunmler schools is from three to five weeks. Usually these schools do not commence until our teachers have had a two weeks' rest. Our schools close about June 20th, and the summer schools open after July 4th, a sufficient recess, if one has taken proper care of himself during the year, in which to recuperate for a mod- 125 crate amount of study. After the summer school has ended two months remain for the accumulation of nerve force. My own experience leads me to say that the time spent at a summer school by one who is not physically incapacitated is worth while. Parenthetically I may add that superintendents and com- mittees .at the present time are looking for progressive, wide-awake instructors of youth, who wish to brow profes- sionally. RECAPITULATION. To sum up ,briefly my recommendations are as follows: A slight increase in the appropriation for supervision in music and drawing• to insure good instruction at all times; the gradual substitution of modern, adjustable desks for the old desks in use at the present time; a fair and full discus- sion, in town meeting, of the high school problem, and also of the discontinuance of the Newtown and Plains schools; the employment of an assistant teacher in the Barnstable Grammar School; a larger attendance of teachers in schools especially designed for their improvement. A report of the Training School, written by the principal of the Normal School, will be found on the nest page. Respectfully submitted, F. W. KINGMAN, Supt. of Schools. 126 TRAINING SCHOOL REPORT. Mr. F. W. Kingman, Superintendent of Schools. DEAR SIR: In accordance with your kind invitation I am glad to submit herewith a brief report regarding the Hyan- nis Training School and its work. I take pleasure in speak- ing through. you to the School Board and all other friends of the school. CORDIAL RELATIONS. • First let me thank all concerned for the kind considera- tion which has been manifested from the very first toward the Normal School and all connected with the same. It is not, I believe, the usual experience for Normal Schools which have Training Schools attached to receive such treat- ment and such manifestations of confidence and esteem at first. In fact, it usually takes several years of careful, patient work on the part of the Normal School to disarm suspicion and allay the fears of the parents who do not like to think of their children as being "practiced upon." In the course of time these fears die out as the parents come to realize the many advantages which the children enjoy above those of the other children of the same town or city. The school becomes popular, and there are many applica- tions from parents in other districts of the city for transfers or permits allowing their children to attend the Training School. This has been true of every State Normal Train- ing School of which I have known, and I have known many in different parts of the country. I count it, then, a cause for congratulation that a long probationary period has not, in this case, been necessary for the establishment of this mutual reApect and confidence. And it is because I so thoroughly appreciate how much of the welfare of both Training School and Normal School de- 127 ponds upon a continuance of this feeling of confidence and good will that I write this report. Sooner or later there are sure to arise incidents which may serve as causes for friction and misunderstanding, unless the present confidence is known to be Nvell grounded. I shall, therefore, accept this as an opportunity not only for congratulation upon past and present• confidence, but for the enumeration of some causes why this confidence may continue, increase, and even blossom into satisfaction and pride in the.high standing of our school. ATTITUDE OF NORMAL SCHOOL. It should always be remembered that those in charge of the Normal School look upon the Training School as the core of the whole establishment; the very centre around which all the rest of the school revolves. What does this mean? Several things. I will mention a few. 1. The work of the Normal School must be judged by the results found in the Training School. 2. The work in the Training School must be better than ever before, better than that in the average school and con- tinually improving. 3. The Training School must serve- as a model for Nor- mal students, and a source of inspiration and help to the other teachers of the Cape. 4. It must compare favorably with other Training Schools of the State and country. 5. It must shoi�, definite results which, when compared with those of other schools, will prove to any intelligent, unprejudiced observer th4t good, strong work is being ac- complished. TEACHING IN TRAINING SCHOOL. What are some of the things which are being done to bring about these desirable results? 1. Great pains is being taken to secure and retain a teaching force of a higli order. The teaching of the so- 128 called essentials, reading, writing and arithmetic, will already compare favorably with that clone in any part of the country. 2. The Normal School teachers spend much time in ex- pert supervision, and much work is being gradually intro- duced which makes for deeper thinking and broader sympathies. This work is embodied in the so-called culture studies such as. music, drawing, manual training, nature, geography, literature and history. 3. . Normal students are not allowed to do any teaching until they have practically completed the other work of a two years' course and have done special observation work. Even then they are not allowed to discipline a room. 4. A regular teacher is in charge of the discipline of each room except on rare occasions when the pupil teacher has gained sufficient power to be put in charge. 5. The teaching is practically all done by the regular teachers during the first half of-the year. During the last half the trainers do the most of the work, but under very close and careful supervision. 6. No experiments are being tried. Nothing is being attempted which has not been tried and proved many times in other places. EQUIPMENT OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL. What is being• done for the Training School along the line of equipment? 1. The beautiful building furnished by the town is being made more attractive with many fine engravings,paintinus, photogravures, busts, and other decorations. 2. School room libraries are being established. 3. Maps, globes, barometer, and other equipment have been procured for the use of the school. - 4. The thousands of dollars worth of apparatus, 1_.oDks, and specimens of the Normal School library and labora- 12.9 tories are all used freely as needed for instruction in the Training School. 5. Classes from the grammar grades are often taken to the Normal School. for stereopticon or other lectures. . SUTAIMArv. These are some of the more obvious advantages which are coining to the Training School because of its connection with the State Normal School. To state the matter briefly, in the language of dollars and cents, the Training School is receiving this year from the State: $2,370.00 in salaries for teachers, $350.00 for books and equipment. In other words, the State is giving toward the schooling of each child in the Training School $13.50, besides furnishing ex- peit supervision in the various lines of school work and the, use of its extensive equipment whenever needed. I say- that these are some of the most obvious advantages. They are obvious because tangible, but I believe that the less obvious and more intangible are more numerous and of far greater importance. Because so intangible they are, and will continue to be, less in evidence, and it will take a longer time and close insight to appreciate them. I will, however, venture to prophesy that if the confidence, of which I have so often spoken, is continued for the next fif- teen or twenty years, if the homes of Hyannis will co-op- erate with the school, it will then begin to be understood that the greatest blessing which has come to Hyannis through the Normal School has come through its Training School and is of-that intangible material which furnishes the warp and woof of what we call character. Allow me in closing to express to you and to the mem- bers of the School Committee of Barnstable my sincere thanks for the uniform courtesy which has always been accorded to me in my official capacity. Very respectfully yours, W. A. BALDWIN, Principal of Hyannis Normal School. 130 STATISTICS. 1. Number of children between 5 and 15 vears of age, Sept. 1, 1900 Boys, 327 ; girls, 306; total, 633 2.

The law is as follows: "Pbysiology and Hygiene, which, in both divisions of the sub- ject, shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants, and narcotics on the human system, shall be taught as a regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools sup- ported wholly or in part by public money." Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly defined by the following extract from the laws of our Commonwealth : "It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, com- mitted to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and justice, and a sacred regard to truth; love of their country, hu- manity, and universal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and fru- gality; chastity, moderation, and temperance; and those other virtues which are the ornament of human society; and the basis upon which a republican constitution is founded; and it shall be the duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead their pupils, as their ages and capacities will admit, into a clear understanding-of the tendency of the above mentioned virtues, to preserve and per- fect a republican constitution, and secure the blessings of liberty as well as to promote their future happiness, and also to point out to them the evil tendency of the opposite vices." Physical Exercises. The requirements are as follows : "As nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-half of each school session, five minutes shall be de- voted to physical exercises, to be taken at the same time in all the classes in the building; and during this time the school-room shall be thoroughly ven- tilat ed." Text-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is indicated in part by assigning pages in the text- books; teachers,however, will omit, or pass rapid- ly over parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell upon the more important subjects, using the text- books as aids only. 162.

To the School Committee of Barnstable: The sixth annual report of.the present Superintendent .of schools and the eleventh in the series of Superintendent's reports is respectfully submitted: SCHOOL EXPENSES. An analysis of the Secretary's financial report shows that two appropriations were exceeded, current expenses and re- pairs to school buildings. It is always difficult to forecast with exactness the amounts needed for these purposes. Last year$14,363.28 were expended for current expenses; this year $14,761.05, an increase of $397.77. Most of this ex- cess was caused by a re-arrangement of the school terms. The fall term which heretofore has been of ten weeks dura- tion was continued 12 weeks, the Newtown School being the only one to adhere to the old regime. In consequence of this change the schools were maintained 36 weeks instead of 34. The winter term will be of 10 weeks length and the spring term 12. This change was made in response to a largely signed petition from the parents of Osterville and to the oft-repeated wishes of many parents in other villages of the town. The winter term should be the shortest one of the three if we would reduce to a. minimum the exposure of small children to the inclemencies of wind and weather. 123 The services of an assistant in the Barnstable Grammar School increased the current expenses $150. If the fall term had been of its usual length and the assistant just referred to had not been employed the expenses would have been $14;- 313.55, a smaller sum than was spent in 1900. School.repairs in 1900 cost$1,209.14; in 1901, $1,201.48. The appropriation each year was $900. The larger part of the excess in each case was occasioned by the purchase of new desks. As the_ dog fund was voted by the town to buy this furniture this excess might properly be charged to that account. Your attention is called to the fact that transportation to.the High School was less .expensive than last year. In 1900 this charge was $1,787.80; in 1901, $1,627.48. The appropriation each year was $1,800. Textbooks and school supplies have cost$297.84 less than last year. The appropriation in 1960 was $1,400; in 1901i $1,100. Tuition has been collected from various sources amounting to $358..75. The total expenditure jor schools in 1900 was $21,420.71; in 1901, $—?1,127.38. SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS. The year just closed has been attended with fewer changes in teachers than any previous year of my connection with your schools. Death has entered.the ranks twice, and each time has claimed a shining mark. Some retiring teachers have gone to accept more lucrative offers in larger fields of usefulness. Still others have found positions for which they were better adapted. The educational field is wide, and it does not follow that failure in one department means failure in all departments. A person may teach a grammar school . well who would be entirely out of place in a high school, and vice versa. There are misfits in the schoolroom. It is the Superintendent's duty to discover such and apply the 124 needed remedy. Three of the six chances that have taken place occurred in the Training School. These vacancies fell to the following rooms: Second and Third Grades, Fourth Grade, and Sixth and Seventh Grades. Mrs., Nellie E. Wilbar; the teacher of, the last named room, had been connected with the Training School from the beginning and had taught in the town continuously since her graduation from the_Barnstable High School, in 1883. The..service of Mrs. Wilbar has been loyal, conscientious, progressive, and up to the lull measure of her ability. The School Committee and Superintendent believe that this kind of service cannot,be too cordially commended. A compari- son of the teachers in service Jan. 1, 1900, given in 1900 report, with the list of teachers in this year's report will show the withdrawals and appointments for a year. All new teachers come to us with experience or normal training, and very often with both. There are today five persons teaching in our schools who have attended the Hyannis Normal School, four of whom are graduates. Reports of the Training School and,the music and drawing departments have been submitted by Principal W. A. Bald- win and Supervisor Mary F. Kauffmann. They are to be found in Succeeding pages. 125 IN MEMORIAM. MARIA FULLER,Principal of the Primary Department of the "Training .School. Miss Fuller entered upon her work in September, 1898, and taught with unusual ability until overpowered by the dread disease which caused her death, after a long and very painful illness. Miss Fuller was the embodiment of devotion to little children. She literally wore herself out in their service. Her life was closed all too soon. lit, truth it may be said, "Her works do follow her. EDWARD T. BEAIiSE, teacher of the Newtown School. Mr. Beare tools charge of the Newtown School Jan. 11 1901. He had previously taught in Tisbury, Mass. He was a graduate of the Cotuit High and Hyannis Normal Schools. He was ambitious for success and was imbued with the true teacher's spirit, a love for the vocation and a willingness.to minister to the needs of others. The boys and girls of Newtown, when they shall have grown to men and women, will recall with tender recollection the words and works of Edward T: Bearse, who wrought in their youth to inform' their minds and fashion their characters. 126 SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The attendance for the year has been fairly good. One or two notable exceptions ought to be called to your attention. In the absence of sickness and remoteness from the school- house it would seen that no valid excuse could be given for poor attendance. A percentage that falls below 90 may, I think, rightly be called poor. A reference to the synop- sis of teachers' reports will show that several schools had a percentage of less than 90, viz. ; Nest Barnstable Primary, Plains, Grade I Training School, Santuit and Cotuit High. At "'est Barnstable and the Plains many children live far from school, and in stormy weather regard for 'health requires that they, remain at home. A similar explanation will account for absence in Grade I of the Training School. This grade is made up of the very smallest children, and parents act wisely who detain children of this age during in- clement weather. For Santuit and Cotuit High I am unable to find satisfactory reasons for poor attendance.. At Santuit the homes are comparatively near the school, and one would naturally expect the attendance of .the school to be among the best in town. I am forced to believe that the parents do not realize the evil effects..of non-attendance, for .T know that they are as desirous of good schools and all things that conduce to make.good schools as the people of our other villages. The pupils of the Cotuit High are beyond the compulsory age, and for good attendance reliance must be made upon their own interest and the co-operation of the home. High schools ought to lead in attendance under .favorable conditions, and when they do not all friends of education should exert their hest efforts to quicken interest at this point. SCHOOL LEGISLATION. Important changes have recently been made in the laws relating to school supervision and free textbooks and 127 supplies. It will surprise many to learn that the employ- ment of a Superintendent of Schools has been left optional with the towns up to the present time. The language of,the new law is as follows : Chap. 248 An act relative to the employment of Superintendent of Schools by cities and towns. Be it enacted, etc., as follows.: Section 1: The School Committee of each town or city in the Commonwealth .may; and after July first in. the year nineteen hundred and two shall employ, at the expense of the town or city, a Superintendent of Schools, who under the direction and control of the Committee shall have the care and supervision of the public schools; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to dissolve existing unions for the employment of a Superintendent or to prevent towns from uniting for such employment under the provis ions of Sections forty-four and forty-five of Chapter forty- four of the Public Statutes, or of Sections six and seven of Chapter four hundred and sixty-six of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-eight. The new law relative to free textbooks and supplies takes effect upon its acceptance by the city or town. The lan- guage of the Statutes is: Chapter 472, Acts 1901 : Be it enacted, etc., as follows : Section 1. Section one of Chapter 103, of Acts'of the year eighteen hundred and eighty-four is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the words; in accordance with this act—so as to read as follows: Section 1. The School Committee of every city and town shall purchase at the expense of such city or town, text- books and other school supplies used in the public schools, and said textbooks and supplies shall be loaned to the pupils of said public schools free of charge subject to such rules 128 and regulations as to care and custody as the School Com- mittee may prescribe, in accordance with this act. Section 2. Said Chapter 103 is hereby further amended by inserting new sections after Section one thereof to be numbered Sections two, three and four respectively as follows:' Section 2. School Committes may make rules and regulations for the distribution of said textbooks and may pro- vide for the continued use of any. textbooks, by pupils throughout any grades, in such manner as not to conflict with the provisions of this act. Section 3. Pupils complet- ing two years in any public school in grades more advanced than the fourth grade may, if the School Committee ofa town or city so votes, upon graduating from the grammar school of any city or town, and upon application to the School G - mittee of such city or town, be allowed to retain in permanent ownership such three textbooks used during the last year of their attendance in 'the school, as they may select. Sec- tion 4. Pupils in the public .schools may, if the School Committee of a town or city so votes, be allowed to purchase of such city or town, at such time or place as the School Committee may designate, at not more than the cost price to,such city or town, textbooks used or to be used by them in the schools. Section 3. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent here-, with are hereby repealed. Section 4. This act shall take effect in cities,upon,.and not before, its acceptance by the board of alderman, and it shall take effect in .towns upon, and not before its accept- ance by a majority of the qualified voters voting thereon at any annual town meeting. Approved June G, 1901. The acceptance of this provision by the Town of BarnL stable, supplemented by favorable action by the School Com- mittee, would compel a substantial increase in the appropri- ation for textbooks. Fifty or more children sever their 129 connection with the grammar schools every year. If each one applied for the three books to which the law would entitle him, at least one hundred and fifty dollars would be needed for this purpose. THE CIGARETTE HABIT. The prevalence of cigarette smoking among boys of school age ought to be a matter of deep concern. to parents and teachers, and all other people who believe that a sound body is a prerequisite to a sound mind. Our legislators have wisely enacted laws forbidding the sale of cigarettes to per- sons under eighteen years; they have likewise made it ille- gal to give these foul weeds to.youths under eighteen. But it is a wellknown fact that it is very easy for the boys to gratify their longings for the stupefying stuff: Laws are dead letters if they are not the 'crystalization of public sentiment. It seems to me, as an educator, that we need to be aroused from our indifference to the increasing number of youthful cigarette smokers. Tobacco dealers have it in their power to render the youth, of this town an everlasting service by refusing to violate the law when importuned to do so. Tobacco users of maturer years can help by declining to. give cigarettes to the boys whom the teachers are laboring to save from' deterioration of mind and body. Offensive breath and the dull eye and duller brain are too often found in the schoolroom. I doubt not that some will say that this kind of talk is extremely puritanical. If, however, those who would make _ this criticism had seen in the school as mueh of the perni- cious effects of using narcotics as it has been my sad privilege to see, they would view the matter in the same light. Parents, do you know whether or not your boy smokes? if you know that he does, do you care? Let us for the sake of the young frown upon this baleful habit and observe all laws for their protection. 130 CLOSER CONNECTION BETWEEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND VILLAGE LIBRARIES. One of the best things that the schools can do for the young is to create a taste for good reading and assist in forming the reading habit. If the child does not acquire a love for good literature at school it is unlikely that he will get it elsewhere. Most homes are too -much occupied with other matters to direct the children's reading. The object of this topic is to suggest a way by which our local libraries and schools may become more efficient agents in promoting this desirable end. The annual appropriation for textbooks and supplies is seldom more than sufficient to supply regular textbooks and other necessary school mater- . ials. This precludes_the possibility of drawing from this source to purchase school libraries. This is a fitting oppor- tunity to say that the importance of school libraries is gen= erally recognized by the teachers. The Barnstable Gram- mar School, two or three.years ago, inspired by the princi- pal, raised sufficient money through its own efforts to purchase a school library containing 50 or more volumes. This library has been well used and greatly enjoyed. Larger opportunities for this school and an extension of li- brary privileges to all the schools can be easily brought about. It seems that it would be unwise to ask for a special appropriation. It has occurred to me that the dog fund, or at feast a portion of it, could be donated to those libraries of the town that are without endowment and distributed upon an equitable basis. Perhaps the number of scholars might fairly determine the apportionment. The books bought with this money should be the property .of the libraries, but the schools should enjoy the free use of them with the fewest possible hampering conditions. The choice of books ought to rest with the Executive Committee of the 131 libraries and the village teachers, subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Schools. The books could be taken to and from the schools in lined, covered baskets at regular times. Reasonable rules for their use would be made.by the teachers. The libraries and schools of Worcester have co-operated on a plan much like the one here outlined for many years. Success has attended the movement from its inception. The example of Worcester was contagious. To-day in city and country there are many libraries making themselves useful to teachers and scholars and aiding in the development of a higher type of citizenship. A reading,community cannot fail to be an intelligent community. The Librarian of the.Dayton (Ohio) Public Library closes an article on school libraries with the following para- graph "In the series:of panels of his `Romaunt of.the Rose'Burne Jones gives us the allegory of Love and the Pilgrim.. Worn, bleeding and tear-stained Love finds the Pilgrim among briars and cruel rocks. She, counselled by a flight of tender doves ever circling above her head, reaches to the sufferer her hand and draws her onward toward a mountain height beyond which lies the expanse of ocean, air and sky. In the place where Love finds the Pilgrim there is a land-girt stream, which failing to find its way through the barrier of the mountains returns in a said circle upon itself, and the land, self-fed and watered by sliiggish streams, is barren. Which is Love, and which is the Pilgrim in this union of the library. and the school is not for us to say, but certain it is that when they together shall reach the summit and shall see the bright expanse and the morning sunshine making straigbt the path .before them, the fresh salt winds wafting toward them mes- sages from beyond, then a life undreamed of in the pent, 132 self-returning,round, being newly fed, will spring,into richer, purer feeling. Behold! A new beatitude I make, Blessed are the books I say, For honey of the soul are they." Respectfully submitted, F. W. KINGMAN, Superintendent of Schools. t t 133 TRAINING SCHOOL REPORT. Mr. F. W. Kingman; Superintendent of Schools: DEAR`SIR_: I take pleasure in again accepting your invitation to say a, few words regarding the work of the Training School. And I trust that what is here written down may not be .accepted entirely on faith, but that. the people of the town, and especially those residing in Hyan- nis, may visit the school and see just what is being done there. We court investigation. We desire the fullest possible understanding on the part of the people of what,is being done and of the purposes which influence us to un- dertake such work. I must confess that I hardly expect to be able to bring about such an understanding through any- thing that I can write; I can only hope to arouse an inter- est which may lead to visits to the school for the sake of a better understanding. PRACTICAL SCHOOL WORK,. There has been for—a long time a strong and growing sentiment among our most intelligent.people that the educa- tion of the schools is not sufficiently practical. The best thought of the common people is usually not far from right, and sooner or later the demand of the people must be heeded. All through the country attempts are being made to meet this demand. The fact is being recognized that the child must be prepared for life by learning to live. Life in school must be natural, many-sided and harmonious. Life i at school must be related to life at home, on the street, in the field, and in the various human activities of the village. Typical occupations are being gradually introduced into the school so that through these the children may come into live, personal contact with the kinds of things which they need to know and to be able to do. B-10 134 The kinds of work which are being done may.be grouped as follows: 1. Ordinary school work. 2. Industrial work. 3. Business transactions. 4. .Expeditions. REGULAR WORK. The regular school work is fairly well understood and I need only say that this is not crowded out by the newer kinds of work nor neglected, but on the other hand, it is so connected with these newer forms of work that new life is put into it. It seems something to the child and is, there- fore, much better done than ever before. This will Appear more fully in the illustrations which appear later.. INDUSTRIAL WORK. The forms of industrial work now in the school are: sew- ing, weaving, carpentering,hammock-making,basketry,hat- making and gardening. BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS. Pupils have bought seeds, material for hammocks,baskets, and similar things'and have sold produce. They have banked money and paid bills with checks, learning how to make and use all necessary business forms. EXPEDITIONS. On pleasant days the children go out in groups-with their teachers to study the various things in nature which will help them to understand what they read in their geographies and books of travel About similar things in other parts of the world. Now it is important to notice how the newer forms of school work come to supplement the older. T35 The relation of the newer and older forms of school work. This may perhaps be best shown by one or two illustrations. . Let us take two illustrations, one from the primary and one from the grammar grades. Of several lines of work taken up.this year in the school, the.two which will perhaps serve best for this purpose are the industrial work of the "garden class"in the grammar grades, and the work which has for its centre the playhouse in the primary grades. TI3E WORD OF :TI3E GARDEN CLASS. Last spring it was decided that manual training for the seventh grade should take the form of gardeninb. A sec tion of the campus, about 100 x 50 feet, was fertilized, ploughed and harrowed and the seed was purchased by the state. Then this land was turned over to the teachers and pupils. Meanwhile the class had gained some valuable letter writing experience in sending carefully written letters to various seedmen. They had reviewed their knowledge of mensuration by measuring and measuring again the garden, and plotting off the same into various sections for the plant- ina of the various kinds of seeds. Many discussions arose regarding the best time and place for the planting of various seeds.' These furnished splendid opportunities for connect- ing the home and the school, for the use of reference books, and for good, live language work, both oral and written. As soon as the weather was suitable the children began to prepare the ground for planting and on pleasant days they worked in the garden about an hour each afternoon. They became very observant'of weather conditions. The differ- ent kinds of seeds were planted in their seasons, some, like lettuce and sweet corn, being planted at different times. Records were kept in books provided for the purpose, of the time of plantinu, the time of coming up and the various changes in the growing plants. Plants were compared as to their relative rate and manner of growth, and the ideas gained 136 from these plants were used as a basis for reading of the growth of similar plants in other parts of the world. The first radishes were sold to the Dormitory and for these the class received their first check. This with other checks and cash received from the sale of garden produce during the summer and fall, amounting to over thirty dollars, was deposited in the Hyannis National Bank. The whole class went to the bank and learned exactly how to make a deposit and to draw out money. Each pupil is provided with a blank book into which he copies bills of produce sold, deposits made and checks drawn. After the fall term began the same class, now the eighth grade, again assumed the care of the garden. They picked and sold tomatoes, sweet corn, squash, and cucumbers,pulled beets and turnips and saved corn, beans and other seeds for next year's planting. They also studied forms of fruit and seeds and the relation of plants to some animal life, like the larva on the turnips and tomatoes and the parasites oil.the- tomato larv.. After finishing the garden work the class elected'a presi- dent and secretary and discussed what they should do with their money. They appointed a committee to consider the matter and to make recommendations. After several days of consideration the committee reported,advising the expend- iture of not more than five dollars for a little class party to which each member might invite a friend, the purchase of some cord for hammocks, the acceptance of my offer to teach them how to make hammocks which might be sold and the proceeds of which might be added to.the bank deposits. The report was accepted with enthusiasm. The pupils gained some good points in parliamentary practice in connection with class meetings. They learned how to write notes of invitation for their party and gained some valuable hints on entertaining. Before they could make their hammocks each was obliged to whittle out his own block and needle. This.re- 137 quired considerable care and perseverance, but the hammnock- making lured them on and they persisted. Some of their, hammocks are already nearly completed and ready for the market. Their interest has steadily increased as they have grown in the sense of their own power to do something that has a commercial value. Other grammar grades are doing other forms of industrial work. Let us now turn our atten- tion to the primary grades. PLAY HOUSE. The center upon which the interest of the primary grades is just now focused is a play house. This was constructed in the Manual Training room at the Normal School, in such a manner as to contain the principal rooms of a house. The children are making things with which to furnish this house. The pupils of the lower grades have been studying the homes of other children of other lands and comparing their own homes with these, notino, striking points of resemblance and difference in the kinds of house, the furnishings and the clothing, and making such inferences regarding the reasons for the variations as their age and experience enable them to make. The children of the first grade have been studying- about Hiawatha, and they compare their own home, the Hyannis home with its furnishings with the Indian home and its sim- ple but necessary utensils. They are delighted to compare their food and clothing with his, their games and nursery stories with those which Hiawatha was taught by old Nokomis. In a similar manner they have studied about the little Esquimo and his home life. The second grade children have studied the more striking features of the industrial and social life of the Esquimo,the Indian, the Dutch, the Japanese and the Chinese children, always using their own experience as a basis of comparison. 138 The third trade children have studied the home life of the Dutch, Swiss and Mexican children. The fourth grade pupils are very much interested in Rob- inson Crusoe and the things which he found necessary for his home. It is easy for the thoughtful.person to see how such work as this appeals to the 'little child. The teacher is continu- ally asking him to tell about things-of which he knows from experience and which he delights to talk about, espec-, ially when he is asked to compare his own house,with the snow house of the Esquimo boy or the tent of the Arab boy, or his leather shoes_ with the wooden shoes of the Dutch boy. As they study about these things they are. learning; to read and spell and use properly the common words con netted with their everyday life, and kindred technical words connected with the life in other. parts -of the world. Thus their vocabulary, spoken and written, is growing hand in hand with the broadening of the horizon of their under- standing. Not ,only the pictures and stories found in the children's books but many others are provided by the teach-. ers. Sometimes,too, the teacher takes the children over to the Normal School, where they are treated to a talk, sup- plemented by stereopticon lantern slides. To those who understand children it is not surprising.that they desire to represent those things about which they. are enthusiastic in some other form than in words. They wish to do something with, their hands, to draw, to paint, to cut out,,to model in clay,. to .weave, to sew, and many other things. This natural demand, which inay be seen in every normal child, we try to satisfy by allowing him to try to represent some of these things about which he is coming to know. This is where our industrial training conies in as a means of expressing some ideas which the child already_ has And of dining more and clearer ideas, 139 Some of the things which are being made will be used for furnishing the play house, and every child is anxious to make something fit to go into that play house. Rugs .and portieres are being made in the first grade, furniture of tag board and mats of raffia in the second and third, and.the fourth grade children are weaving blankets and straw floor matting, making baskets, painting walls of the house, designing wall paper and staining floors. It is inspiring to see how enthusiastically the children work, how they love to do things and to do them well, how much patience and persistence is being developed and how happy they are. Now these two lines of .work which I have described are fairly typical of the kinds of work which we are trving to do and the ways in which we are putting new life into the older lines of work through the new. It may be well to state that no new experiments are being tried. For although some of this work is new to the schools of this vicinity nothing is being introduced which has not - been tried and been proved valuable in other places.. The principles upon which this work is based have been recog- nized as true by leading educators for nearly a century. We are trying to do our part toward adapting these principles to the needs of the children. of Hyannis and the Cape. The manual and industrial training which our fathers got on the farm, along the shore and .on the sailing vessel was invalu= able. Fortunate are the children who still.have the same kind of opportunities for growth in their own homes. Few of our children, however, now receive any training at home which takes the place of that old-fashioned New England "bringing up." The school must, therefore, furnish the best possible substitute, along with such training in literature, history,science, art and kindred subjects as the best schools have been affording. The former furnishes the best kind.of a foundation in personal experiences and the latter furnishes a superstructure which reaches out to the whole world, pres- ent, past and future. 140 Probably no one would "claim that the home education of the country boy alone insured success, for many country boys have not succeeded. 'But when the country boy, not satisfied with the narrow range of his country life, has gone out into the broader life through travel or reading and study, has used the ideas here gained, the habits here formed, and the character here built up, as a basis, a foundation upon which to build, what glorious specimens of manhood have resulted ! The Cape reckons many such among her sons. The industrial work which is here described takes time and the school hours in the Hyannis Training School have been extended forty-five minutes per day so that plenty of time may be afforded for this without taking time formerly devoted to other subjects. The attitude of the teachers and pupils toward this work may be inferred from the fact that they are happier to stay longer in school and beg to be allowed to take work to do at home. . Now it seems to me that the home should do all that it can for the child, then the school should "take him and recog- nizing what the home has done and is doing, should build upon this, sui)plementing and rounding out each individual child, helping him to discover his own powers and to make the most of himself. In closing I would again urge all who are interested in education, to visit our school and see for yourselves just what is being done. The thanks of all friends of the.Training School are due to yourself and the School Board for.sympathetic co-opera- tion and assistance in helping to furnish the children of Hyannis with opportunities for modern, progressive school training. Very respectfully yours, WILLIAM A. BALDWIN, Prinoipal of the Hyannis State Normal School. 141 SUPERVISOR'S REPORT. Hyannis, Mass., January 1, 1902. 110 1VIr. F. W. Eingman, .Superintendent of Schools: DEAN Sint: The time has come when I am to offer for your approval my'report for the work in my departments.. for the year. In the priinary grades we have endeavored to get the children to realize form and color. In music, the two sub- jects of tune and rhythm, with some of the simpler expres- sions of feeling. In the grammar and intermediate grades we have followed the same lines in music, making good progress in all schools. In the drawing we have followed the same lines of-pre= vious years, with a starting in the Denman Ross system of design. The work in the ungraded schools has been carefully done, to the credit of pupils and teachers. I mention this particularly because here the teachers are so busy with so many subjects to teach. Much interest has been shown in good pictures, .nearly every room having added to its cheerfulness by the earnest endeavor of pupils and teachers, one or more good repro- ductions. . At the Training School two pupils in Mr. Marston's room were.pleased and surprised to find a note on. the blackboard from State Supervisor Bailey, thanking them for two good paintings. The work in the High Schools in music.has been.chorus work. My aim is to have each pupil able to read and sing at sight music such as any choral society would use. In the drawing at the High School we are somewhat hampered 142 by a lack of materials. If some plaster casts of historic ornament could be purchased they would add to the orna- ment of the room and help as models for the drawing. The models now used have been studied and drawn by the pupils before entering these schools, and so a lack of enthusiasts takes the place of the interest that should and must be in- spired.by,the subjects;to be drawn. Last spring we had a teachers' meeting at Barnstable on Saturday, and I want to thank the teachers and pupils who so heartily co-operated in this meeting. At Osterville�during the spring term it seemed as if the pupils who came from the primary.into the intermediate grades were not justly treated by putting them 'with the grammar grades. So it was deemed advisable to.separate the•rooms, and this has been done, with advantage to the pupils. . In closing, I would recommend-a purchase of some ma- terials for the High Schools. Respectfully submitted, MAR,Y F. KAUFFMANN, Supervisor. 143 STATISTICS. 1. Number of children between 5 and 15 years of age, Sept. 1, 1901 : Boys, 329 ; girls,;307 ; total, 636 2.

The vote stated that 50 per cent. of the cost of con- struction of said road should be paid by the State Highway Commissioners. 106 It was also voted that the Surveyor of Highways should construct said road, subject to a contract with the Board of Highway Commissioners. The State Highway Commissioners submitted a contract for the building of said road to the Board of Selectmen for the sum of $6,400 per mile, which the selectmen signed, agreeing by that action, that the State's apportionment should not exceed $3,200 per mile. Although striving strenuously to keep the expenditures from exceeding the contract price and within the bounds of the sum apportioned by the Localization Committee, the grading and filling demanded by the State's engineer was. so excessive that it was impossible to satisfy him and not ex- ceed the appropriations. The one item , of filling cost $2,800. It might be inferred by some that this was exces- sive and uncalled for, but, after the contract was signed, specifying that certain things should be done in a certain way, the only way to get our apportionment from the State Highway Commissioners was to follow the instructions and demands of the engineer. I have been criticized because I exercised my discretion in using about 150 tons of stone more than the contract called for. I believed at that time and still believe, that it was true economy so to do. The sub-stratum of the road was in a poor.condition to receive the covering of macadam and, instead of carting on gravel to form a good underlying surface to receive the macadam, I carted on the stone, which cost, comparatively, about the same as the gravel, but made a thicker and better road. , While I deplore the fact that the road cost more than the contract specified, I am of the opinion that, taking into con- sideration all the circumstances connected with the case, that the cost has not been excessive, and I believe, as a matter of justice, that the State should pay for one-half of all the expenditures connected with the construction of said road. 107 r That the increase of cost over the estimate, as per con- tract, was not due to the negligence or extravagance of the methods practiced by the builders of the road can be, I think, readily demonstrated by comparing the cost of con- struction of the miles of road built on the south side of the town this year. These roads are built in a thorough and conscientious manner, and will compare favorably with any roads built in the State. Although 25 cents more per ton was charged for carting the rough stone the road in Oster- ville was built for less than $4,000, per mile, and the road leading to Cotuit was built for a little more than $4,000 per mile; although all the crushed stone for the latter road was carted., on an average, 2 miles. I think these facts and figures demonstrate emphatically that the chief cause of the excess of expenditures over the estimate, as per contract, was owing to the excessive demands of the engineer who, under a contract of the State Highway Commissioners, has supreme control, and can, and does, oftentimes, demand more than the contract ordinarily calls for. My opinion has been confirmed that the town can build its own roads more economically when it has the power to use its own au- thority as to grading, etc., and judging by my past experience I feel justified in recommending that hereafter all State roads shall be built by and under the supervision of the * . State authorities, and that the town build its own roads, believing as I do, that such action will best conserve the interest of the town. R MAINTENANCE OF STONE ROADS. The section of road built in 1901 in Hyannis in co-op- eration with the State Highway Commissioners was not ac- cepted until the summer of 1902. Owing to the road rub- bling some it was necessary to put some No. 2 stone and dust on and give it a thorough rolling, which was done, 108 necessitating an expenditure of $211.30. The other parts of the stone roads in this town have been sanded and prop- erly cared for at an expense of $209.38. Respectfully submitted, WENDELL F. NICKERSON, Surveyor of Highways.

To the School Committee of Barnstable: In compliance with statutory requirement and the rules of the School Committee I submit for your consideration and that of the people who support the public .schools, the twelfth annual report in the series of superintendents' re- ports, the same being the seventh report of the present in- cumbent of the office of superintendent. NEW RULE CONCERNING THE AGE OF ADMISSION. The new requirement of the committee that children to be eligible to admission to school shall have reached the a-e of six years on or before November 1st of the year for which admission is sought will become operative at the commence- ment of the next school year, September, 1903. The former age of admission, live years, is undoubtedly a good age where the kinder(Yarten is the first form of school life and where too, the location of the school is within conveni- ent distance of the homes. But when there is no connect- ing link like the kindergarten it may well be doubted Whether it Is wise to admit children at so early an age as has ` been our custom hitherto. It is my observation that a child can make much more rapid progress in reading and number at the age demanded by the new rule, and that he will be absent from school less frequently. Better attendance means greater progress for the whole school. If it shall happen in the years to come that this new rule causes pupils to enter the High School a year later than they do now it 125 may be confidently expected that the loss of time will be compensated for in a more thorough knowledge of the studies pursued. High School work calls for large exercise of the reasoning faculties. These faculties would probably show to better advantage in most High schools if the pupils entered at a later age. It is-pleasant to record that several interested parents have commended the committee for adopt- ing this rule. FINANCIAL REPORT. The entire cost of maintaining the schools is slightly in excess of the total expenditures last year. In 1901 $21,- 127.38 were expended; in 1902, $21,401..87. The differ- ence is chiefly due to the increased cost of fuel. In 1901 the fuel cost $1,023.66, in 1902, $1,559.42, an increase of more than 50 per cent. over the expense of the previous year. If fuel had been obtainable at normal prices the total cost of the schools would have been less than in 1901, since a saving of $410 was made in teachers' salaries. Nearly one-third of the teachers resigned their positions, and their places were filled, for the most part, with normal graduates, without experience, at the minimum wages. The assistant teacher at Barnstable was discontinued in September, the • number of pupils in the Grammar School having fallen off. The East Barnstable School has been transported since the opening of the fall term, for about one-half the cost of maintaining the school. The transportation of the Newtown " pupils to Marstons Mills and Cotuit has been a little more expensive than the school would have been, owing to the fact that a family with several children moved into the dis- trict after the contract for transportation, on a per capita basis, had .been made. But as the object of closing the school was to provide better instruction, rather than to save money, an adherence to conveying the pupils is recom- piended. 126 The cost of repairs on school buildings is in excess of the appropriation, but is still less than the outlay of last year by nearly $200. The fitting up of temporary quarters for the West Barnstable schools and the purchase of the secretary's safe for the records of the School Committee, which is thought to be a wise investment, account, in large part, for exceeding this appropriation. High School transportation cost $72.22 more than last year, yet the appropriation has not been exceeded. The re- ceipts, other than money raised by taxation, available for school purposes, such as income from Cobb Fund, Dog Fund, tuition, etc., amount to $1,371..18. The total receipts from all sources were $21,750.98. The total expenses were $21,401.87, balance not expended, $349.11.. In further explanation of the receipts and disbursements for schools the secretary's financial statements will be found interesting and illuminating. SALARIES OF TEACHERS. A perusal of the last report of the State Board of Edu- cation has brought to my notice certain facts relating to the wages of teachers in Barnstable County that may prove in- teresting and at the same time reveal a state of affairs not altogether in keeping with a town that has the reputation of aspiring to educational leadership in the county. The data herewith submitted are taken from the 1900-1901 Report of the. Massachusetts State Board of Education. The reliability of these figures is unquestionable, as the returns from which they are estimated are furnished by the school committees of the several towns. 127 'FABLE I.

"111ashpee, 13 54 The first table shows that there are eight towns in which the burden of taxation for school purposes is heavier than in Barnstable and six towns in which the tax is lighter. The second table shows that two towns, Bourne and Fal- mouth, which are Below Barnstable in the first table, are above Barnstable in the amount of wages paid to teachers. The third table shows Falmouth, which was No. 15 in Table I, at the head of the list in the amount expended per pupil. It is of course quickly seen that Falmouth's good showing is due to the high valuation of that town, as a mat- ter of fact, the highest in the county. Barnstable can im- prove her position in Tables II and III only as she Moves up in Table I, and only as she does this can she compete successfully with towns in which teachers'wages are higher. We can at present neither select teachers from a wide field when vacancies occur,nor hold ambitious teachers for more than very limited periods of time. This condition is far from 129 satisfactory. It seems to me that it would be well to in- crease our appropriation so far as to enable the committee to add something to the teachers' wages each year for three or four years until the maximum salary is reached; to illus- trate, pay primary and intermediate teachers $35 per month the first year, $40 the second year, $45. the third, and $50, the maximum wages, the fourth year. Pay grammar school teachers $50 the first year, $60 the second, $65 the third, and $70, the maximum wages, the fourth year. Then let the school year be lengthened to 36 weeks, first, for the sake of the children, and secondly, as an inducement to those teachers who cannot afford to be idle 18 weeks of the year, to remain in the service or to enter it, as the case may be. At the present time the maximum wages of women are $40 per month for primary teachers and $45 for intermedi- ate teachers. The work of an intermediate teacher, accord- ing to the consensus of opinion of those best able to judge, is not more difficult than the work of primary grades. In- deed, I believe that those teachers who have taught in both kinds of schools incline to the belief that the skillful teach- ing of the smaller children is a severer test of the teacher's ability. Such a gradation of wages as the one just suggested would lessen the disparity now existing between the salaries of the men and the salaries of the women and increase the teacher's faith in the justice of the tax payers, and school officials. A town that is the seat of a Massachusetts State Normal School ought to measure up to the fulness of its financial ability for educational purposes. It is not enough that the village in which the Normal School is situated shall emit a bright and shining educational light. The glory of the whole should be the glory of all its parts, and those parts should vie with one another in making each school the peer of every other in the quality of its teaching. 130 DRAWING AND MUSIC. A supervisor of these studies has been employed since the fall of 1897. The choice of the first supervisor was most fortunate. Her qualifications for teaching well both branches° were admitted by all familiar Nvith her teaching. The sec- end and third appointees were much better qualified in drawing than in music, and never, so far as I know, denied that this was true. The fourth teacher had a better knowl- edge of music. An experience of five years of placing both departments in charge of a single supervisor was so unsatisfactory, and assurances from well known educators were so strong, that it would continue to be unsatisfactory, that I decided to rec- ommend to the committee a trial of the method of supervision now in use, viz. : the employment of a specialist in each subject. Miss Frances L. Swett, a graduate of the Massa- chusetts Normal Art School, -%%,as appointed to take charge of the drawing. Miss Estella LaGrosse, supervisor in the schools of Northbridge, Mass., was elected supervisor of mu- sic. These teachers have had excellent preparation for their special fields. What they have done in the schools the past term indicates the wisdom of the new plan. It ought also to be said that their services are obtained for the same com- pensation that was paid to a single supervisor. This small expenditure is made possible by uniting with the town of Yarmouth in their employment. Three days are given to the town of Barnstable each week. Lessons are taught in the high school at Hyannis every week. All other schools outside of Hyannis are visited every two weeks, except that during the fall term the Plains, West Barnstable and Barnstable schools receive a visit every week; in the winter term the Centerville, Osterville and Marstons Mills schools have lessons weekly; and in the spring term the weekly visits are made to Cotuit and Santuit. 131 The superiority of the present plans for teaching drawing and music is shown in more frequent visitations and in more efficient instruction. It is probable, too, that in the long run there will be fewer changes of supervisors. CLOSING OF NEWTOWN AND EAST BARNSTABLE SCHOOLS. At the opening of the fall term the schools of Newtown and East Barnstable were so reduced in membership that good class work became impossible. The committee deemed it best to transport the children to the nearest schools. Ac- cordingly the Newtown pupils have been taken to Marstons Mills, with the exception of the ninth grade pupils who go to Cotuit in the high school conveyance; the East Barn- stable scholars have been conveyed to the Barnstable prima- ry school. Little objection was made to this action of the committee. The great majority of parents agree with the school officials that it is time to close a school when one- pupil classes, two-pupil classes and three-pupil classes are the rule rather than the exception. In the East Barnstable school there were eleven pupils for five glades, and'at New- town there were eight pupils, where provision has heretofore been made for the work of-nine glades. Apropos to this discussion I insert here two excerpts from the writings of eminent educators "The class system is really one of the greatest inventions ever made in pedagogy. A class recitation is a great means* o£ instruction ; far more potent than any device of individual instruction. The ideal of instruction is not the private tutor With his single pupil."—Dr. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education. "The wise teacher finds large advantage in group teach- inh. The many-sided friction is a good thing for the child. Class exercises are a tremendous impulse in forwarding in- dividual children. Individualism tends to a loss of the advantage of the spirit of co-operative effort. Class work 132 reinforces each by the understanding of all others."—Dr. Richard G. Boone, Editor Education. FACILITIES NEEDED AT WEST BARNSTABLE. The necessity of building a new school house at `Vest Barnstable brings before the town a very important ques- tion, viz. : Shall a two-room building or a three-room building be constructed, shall the former conditions prevail or shall a step forward be taken. In a building of two rooms no improvement in classification is possible. One teacher must continue to have five classes and the other four classes. In a three room structure the scholars may receive equal advantages with the pupils of the Cotuit and Osterville elementary schools. Three classes in each room will enable the teachers to concentrate their efforts and will live more time to each class and each pupil. The erection of a three-room building will offer an' ex- cellent opportunity to the residents of the Plains district to provide their children with schooling privileges far better than those they now receive. It is Much to be desired that the present chance to benefit educationally both Vest Barn- stable and the Plains will not be lost by the failure of a few to co-operate in a matter of such far reaching importance. There is no step that the town can take that will redound . more to the permanent welfare of children living in sparsely • settled localities than to educate them in central, well-graded schools where there is superior teaching in buildings that exemplify the highest skill of the architect in methods of lighting; ventilation and sanitation. The committee to report at the annual town meeting, the school committee and the superintendent of schools unite in the opinion that the present and future needs of West Barn- stable will best be met by constructing a one-story building of three rooms. If the town shall build in accordance with the recommendation of these committees the people of the 133 Plains may well ponder whether they wish to continue send- ing their children to a school that can by no possible means be made to yield the advantages that will be found at West Barnstable. It is probable that in the new building some provision can be made for manual training. Manual training ought to find a place in our school system. It ought not to be con- fined to Hyannis. Here is an opportunity to show in con- crete form our appreciation of one of the many good things to be found in the Training School. The following letter from the State Agent for Drawing leads me, to think that the foregoing recommendations are -not visionary North Scituate, Mass., Jan. 19, 1903. My dear Mr. Kingman : I was so much interested in what you said the other day concerning the proposed school building at West Barnstable that I have since been thinking of your plan. I am sure you are right in desiring some facilities for manual training. The manual arts will receive constantly increasing attention in our schools throughout the country. We are bound to be an industrial nation and the hard-headed, common sense of the people will demand the most practical education that the schools can give. I.am sure that if you can carry out your plans for that new build- ing the people of the town of Barnstable will, in time, con- gratulate themselves upon having led the state in the matter of manual training facilities for rural schools. Cordially yours, Henry T. Bailey. These improvements will be expensive. This fact, how- ever, need not frighten us. If the town can afford to build expensive stone roads for its adult population and' summer B-10 134 residents in the hope of greater material prosperity, it can also afford to spend larger sums for the boys and girls who, in years not far distant., will be called to compete, as men and women, with citizens of other towns and states where the training for life work has been pursued with superior educational advantages. TRAINING SCHOOL. In the report of last year the principal of the Normal School considered at some length the forms of industrial work undertaken in the Training School and explained the object of this kind of school employment. This year Mr. Baldwin deals with the time-honored studies of the curri- culum. If there are those who fear that the old studies are being displaced by the newer ones a careful reading of Mr.. Baldwin's report will serve to dispel such an_erroneous con- clusion. I believe that it is the aim of the Normal Principal to preserve a proper balance between the old and new forms of educational activity. It is his aim to expand the training given by the three R's into the larger training of the three H's, The Head, The Heart, and The Hand. From the begin- ning this manual instruction has enlisted my interest. I am in full sympathy with the kinds of work pursued, believing that they broaden the scope of education and enlarge its practical utility. In concluding this report I would call attention to the special reports to the superintendent and request a careful reading of the same. No report has been written by the y Supervisor of Drawing, as she was ill at her home at the time these reports were being prepared. Respectfully submitted, F. W. KINGMAN, Superintendent of Schools. 135 TRAINING SCHOOL REPORT. Mr. F. W. Kingman, Superintendent of Schools: DEAR SiR:—I atu glad to again accept your kind invita- tion to speak through you to all those who are interested in the welfare of the Training School. Last year I discussed at some length the purpose of the industrial training which is being introduced into the Training School. During the past year this work has attracted-much favorable comment, both at home and abroad. Many commendatory articles have been written in Boston, New Fork and Chicago in educational and secular papers of national reputation. This is all very encouraging, but it is likely to lead to some misapprehension. There is danger that the impression may go out that the older lines of work are being neglected and that the work is "faddy." It would be but natural that such an impression should be gained by those people in the town of-Barnstable who see the frequent notices in the papers, but do not find tiiiie to visit the school and to see this work. in its relation to the regular school Rork. I desire to fore- stall such an unfortunate misunderstanding by discussing briefly the methods which are pursued in connection with the other subjects. Let me say a few words about reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic, the oldest, most honored, and from a prac- tical business standpoint, the most fundamental subjects. Everybody recognizes the importance of these subjects, and there is little danger of their being long neglected. Ever since the first school was opened these four subjects have been taught in every tongue and in every land. No school can ever, in the future, exist for any length of time without these. The important question to be decided is as to how they shall be taught. There are methods and methods, 136 each one having its advocates, who claim for it almost miraculous results. Such claims may well be accepted with suspicion. It is safe to say that that method is best which contains the most common sense and seems most nearly to fit in with child nature. Allow me to state very briefly what we are trying to do in these subjects in the Hyannis schools. ]READING. The subject of reading begins in the first year and re- caives much attention throughout all of the years of.the school. At;first the children make their own sentences about something which they are studying at the time. These are written on the board and then into little books. Thus the reading has, from the first, a personal interest for the child, and he learns to read very rapidly. After a time reading books are introduced which contain sentences telling of things familiar to the children. The children read in a very short time five or six different primers. This is fairly typi- cal of much of the more advanced reading. The children master very many more books in reading than were read in the schools of my childhood. The reading means much more to them because it is related to the other school subjects. It goes without saying that the reading is much more intelli- gently done. The majority of the children of the fifth and sixth grades can read as well as the majority of the child- ren of the eighth and ninth grades used to read in the schools of twenty-five years ago. It might be added that besides the thought side of read- ing, which has thus far been discussed, the children are carefully drilled on the mechanical side. They learn their letters incidentally and are Given frequent vocal drills to help them in pronunciation to give them pure tones. They are given lessons in the use-of the dictionary in all grades 137 above the fourth. Hand in hand with the reading go lan- guage, spelling and writing. WRITING. From the first the children write. It is safe to say that the average child of to-day writes ten times as much as did the average child of the olden time. The children are trained to write a simple, legible hand with a fair rate of speed and ease of movement. Not so much attention is paid to orna- mental penmanship as formerly, when an. occasional child took great pride in the many beautiful curves which he was able to produce, but practically every child of ordinary in- telligence can write, and does write a fair business hand for several years of his course. SPELLING. Just as in penmanship the children learn to write by writ- ing, so in spelling the children learn to spell by spelling. Here, too, practical, business-like methods are used. The child learns to spell the common, ordinary words of his everyday life such as he will need to use all of his life. He is not drilled and drilled for hours every week on such words as phthisic and erysipelas. When a boy in a country school out in New York state, I used to ".leave off at the head" of the''spelling class more than anyone else in school. . Later when I went away to a a normal school and was obliged to write papers, I shocked my teachers and myself by the number of ordinary words which I used to misspell. I found it necessary to learn how to spell over again. The poor results in spelling have caused the schools to be criticized from time immemorial. The chairman of the Cambridge school committee in 1843 wrote in the annual report as follows : "The committee laments an unaccount- 138 able reluctance on the part of both teachers and pupils to use the spelling-book: a book, which in the day of their fathers, was ever acknowledged `the only sure guide to the English tongue., We are not now producing any prodigies in this line. I firmly believe, however, that in the best schools of the present day better work is being done than ever before. And I believe that if any fair minded man will take a bunch of letters or postal cards written by various successful business men, or even members of school boards, fifteen or twenty-five years ago, and compare these with full sets of pa- pers and letters written by the children of our eighth or ninth grades, he will be convinced that in spelling, punctua- tion, penmanship and language, the advantage is with the children. Not only is this so, but in our school and many others, this work is being• so closely connected with the life of the child that it becomes a part of him, and will go with him all through life and not be sloughed off after leaving school, as so much of our former school work has been. ARITHMETIC. In regard to improvements in the teaching of this subject I cannot speak so confidently. It may be that I am prejudiced. Arithmetic is a subject very dear to my heart. As a pupil and teacher in country schools it was my meat and drink; the subject upon which I delighted to. .dig, and one upon which I could induce my pupils to dig, in season and out of season. It is doubtless true that it received more than its proper share of attention, and that a broader outlook would have been obtained if a part of the time so spent had been devoted to literature and history properly taught. But the patience, persistence and, sense of power which were then cultivated were well worth while and I feel sure that the time was not wasted. It is quite the fashion pow to say that too ml�ch time used to be spent on arithme- 139 tic and that the disciplinary yalue of the subject was over- estimated. There is, doubtless, much truth in these state- ments, and yet I believe that, in recent discussions on the subject, arithmetic has not received its just due. There seems to me to be some danger that not enough attention will be given to arithmetic in the grammar grades. We are trying to guard against this tendency. The character of the work is being improved by being made more concrete and practical. In the lower grades there is very great improve- ment, as the children learn to use the foot rule and yard stick, the pint, quart and other measures, In connection with their work, and so build up their own tables, which thus become very real to them. A little later they are drilled upon their addition and multiplication tables until they will say themselves. In the upper grades of the Training School the children are given many practical problems and learn many of the ordinary Business forms. Some of these grow out of their own business transactions in connection with the gardening and other industrial work. This work is supplemented by practical problems from books along the lines of business arithmetic. I am very anxious that all of these common, every day subjects shall receive full attention and be better taught than ever before. In introducing the,industrial work the school hours were extended so that no time should be taken from the regular school subjects. Great pains has also been taken to so conduct the industrial work as to put new life into these { other studies and make them more real and practical. CONCLUSION. ' In closing this short discussion, may I express, through you, to the parents of the children in the Training School, my very great appreciation of their attitude toward the work of the school. I have been glad to hear from the mothers that the.children were more ready and able to do 140 the many little helpful things in the home because of the ideas and encouragement gained in school, and to know that the children were, as a rule, very enthusiastic regarding the school wook. I am convinced that the best way to build up our boys and girls is to have the borne and the school work together, each striving to help the children to see the good in the other. The school is trying to help the children to recognize the value to every child of those homely duties which are often con- sidered irksome but which mean so much in the character development of every child. The home may help the school by encouraging the child- ren to read aloud at home, to write the family letters, to keep the family accounts and in every possible way to make practical applications of the things learned at school. Each may well strive to supplement the work of the other and if the spirit of mutual consideration and good will.which has thus far existed shall continue, the parents, teachers and children will continue to be enthusiastic over what is being done for the best development of the children of our vil- lage. In closing I desire to thank you and the school committee for your kind consideration during the past year. Very respectfully yours, W. A. BALDWIN. 141 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC. .Mr. F. W. Kingman, Superintendent of Schools. DEAR Sig,:—The time has come when I must submit for approval my report of the work in music since the beginning of my term here, Sept. 2, 1902. The work has been, on the whole, fairly successful. In the primary grades we have established the tones of the scale, first by imitation, second by dictation, then by repre- sentation. Suitable rote soils have been taught the little people, as the Supervisor believes in the old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The little people have sung as a class and also as individuals. We mean to give more time to the little people who do not sing readily, trying to enlarge their limited ability, rather than to devote all our time to the more fortunate ones; for we believe that the majority of poor singers in the primary grades, properly treated, will make good singers in the high school. Our method for doing this, which is so new and entirely different from any used here before, is our Individual Drill. The Weaver Individual Sight Singing Method is the only known printed method in existence. Results can be gained by this that cannot be gained by individual drill from books. In chorus singing you will frequently fail to recognize a poor singer, and even if he is recognized he gains nothing so long as his only practice is chorus work. To gain in musical knowledge every child must stand on his own feet and work for himself. We would not think of having one bright pupil do an arithmetic example on the board and let the other pupils follow her number by number and so copy all their examples; but that is literally what we are doing when we have chorus singing all the time and let one or two leaders do all the work, the rest following on behind 142 as best they can, or not singing at'all, as is more fre- quently the case. The pupil that sings alone must gain confidence in himself and thereby leads the road to success; which is, Independ- ence. The leader in your grade is the independent singer. In the interinediate and grammar grades we have started with the earlier principles and have worked.them up quite rapidly. Great difficulty is found in these grades where there are so many boys whose voices are changing,in select- ing suitable chorus music to fit all voices. Our main hold on these boys is our individual work, for here each boy is allowed to take the pitch that suits his own voice and fre- quently sings very well by himself when he does not sing as readily when obliged to take someone's else pitch. The . reason for allowing the child to take his own pitch will be seen very readily from that. This work. is progressing very rapidly and is doing a treat deal for the schools. Respectfully submitted, • ESTELLA LAGROSSE, Supervisor of School Music. 143 STATIS"TICS. 1. Number of children between 5 and 15 years of age, Sept. 1, 1902 Boys, 334; girls, 304. Total, 638 2.

Language,—Accustom pupils to express their thoughts in correct forms of speech. Tall: with them about familiar things, and by suggestive questions draw them out to talk about things of interest, viz. : Pictures, games, animals, plants, home and school life. Reading,—Begin with familiar objects. Teach pupils to speak in _pleasant, conversational tones—to give ease and naturalness by reading in 1)hrases. Thus, `I can see' should be spoken as fluently as `repar- tee.' The articles a and the should always be joined to the following word, as if they formed the first syllable of it. About the middle of the year read print and script from the chart, and books of the first year's grade. Geoffraphv,—Teach flat, round, curved, front, back, right, left, above, below, North, South, East and `Vest. Writing,—Teach the letters separately, beginning with those most easily made. Copy words and sentences from the black-board, cards, etc., using capitals, peri- ods and question marks. Second Grade. Numbers,—Combinations and separations to 20. Operations in addition and subtraction to 40, one of the num- 169 bers being greater than ten, the other ten or less than ten. Tables of multiplication and division to 40, i. e., let no product or dividend exceed that number. Add short columns of figures, giving results only,; also write numbers in Roman and Arabic characters to 50. Count to. 100. Language,—Make all lessons as much as possible language lessons. Have pupils tell what they have read; let them make examples in arithmetic, and put the words which they spell into sentences. Have them describe something they have seen during the day; let them write the names of persons and places familiar to them. Readinu,—Use the black-board and the chart, and books of the second year grade—Barnes' Second, Munroe's Second, etc. Take special pains with easy sight reading. Teach punctuation marks. Carefully ward expression and inflection. Each day let the pupils find upon the black-board new reading mat- ter—some interesting fact, a story, a qnestion or a direction. Teach spellinn. Geography,—Begin with that with which the child is familiar. Talk of the difference between land and water.

Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly defined by the following extract from the laws of our Comwonwealth : It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, com- mitted to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and justice, and a sacred regard to truth; love of their country, hu- manity, and universal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and fru- gality; chastity, moderation, and temperance; and those other virtues which are the ornament of human society ; and the basis upon which a republican constitution is founded;�and it shall be the duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead their pupils, as their ages and capacities will admit, into a clear understanding of the tendency of the above mentioned virtues, to preserve and per- fect a republican constitution, and secure the blessings of liberty as well as to promote their future happiness, and also to point out to them the evil tendency of the opposite vices." Physical Exercises." The requirements are as follows : "As { nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-half of eacKschool session, five minutes shall be,de- voted to physical. exercises, to be taken at the same time in all the classes in the building; and during this time the school-roo►n shall be thoroughly ven- tilated." Text Books. For convenience, the work for each class is indicated in part by assigning pages in the text books; teachers, however, will oath, or pass rapid- ly over parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell upon the more important subaects, using the test hooks as aids only. 177 TEXT BOOKS.

To the School Committee of Barnstable: In pursuance of long established custom I present to the citizens of Barnstable through your honorable board my eighth annual report of the public schools. Two subjects of this report, viz. : Wales of Teachers and the Barnstable High School, seem to the writer of transcendent importance, involving as they do parts of our school system than which, none are more vital. If other matters treated in this report are overlooked I trust that these two subjects will be considered by every parent and citizen who cares for justice, efficiency and progress. EXPENSES OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. All appropriations for this department were found suffi- cient with the single exception of that for transportation to high schools. It was necessary to exceed this appropriation $121.96. Technically speaking the appropriation for gen- eral school purposes was overrun $519.63 as the amount voted was $16,100 and the amount spent was $16,619.63. But the committee regard the income from the dog fund and the tuition from out-of-town pupils as properly belong- ing to the appropriation for school purposes. The income from these two sources alone was $619.71. Other sources of revenue, enumerated in the financial report of the secre- tary, add to the moneys available for schools and increase 129 the appropriations to $23,075. The entire cost of the schools was $22,187. Balance unexpended $887.31. I would suggest that in the future, in making appropria- tions for transportation the town raise one general sum for that purpose and that the distribution for transportation in the several sections be placed in the hands of the committee. It has been the custom to make five appropriations as follows: Transportation to High School. Transportation Section 1 to Section 3. Transportation Section 4 to Section 3. Transportation Section'9 to Sections 1.1 and 12. Transportation Section 15 to Training School. These five appropriations for 1903 amounted to $2,830. The total cost of transportation was $2,870.96, an overrun of $40.96. It is probably true that the average person would be quicker to note that an appropriation had been exceeded than to give credit when there was a balance of the appropriation remaining. If this is true it is fairer to the committee to report an excess of $40.96 on the total expense of transportation than to report an excess of $121.96 on High School Transportation and an unexpended balance in the Newtown Section of $81.00. The change proposed would have the added advantage of facilitating the accounting of the town treasurer, auditors, and secre- tary of the school committee. THE STAFF OF TEACHERS. Each year brings changes to the teaching staff, causing sorrow and disappointment on the one hand, joy and satis- faction on the other. Where there are no changes of teachers when the service is poor, stagnation and dull rou- tine is the order of the clay. Where there are too many changes when the service is of the right kind, progress is retarded. 130 As an item of interest, showing the extent of change, I note that not one of the women teachers who were with us when the School Report of 1896 was written is here to-day, and more than half of the men teachers have given place to others. Among those who retired the past year and,whose long service 'was of great benefit, were Miss Ann N. Hinckley, Miss Lillian F. Arey, Mr. Richard W. Marston, and Miss Isadore M. Jones. Vacancies also occurred in Barnstable High, Barnstable Primary, Plains, Santuit, Co- tuit Primary, Cotuit Grammar, and Osterville Intermediate schools. The new teachers are Geo. H. Galger, Principal Training School; Alice G. Hosmer, 5th and 6th grades, Training School; Florence F. Carr, Barnstable High; Harriet O. Paine, Barnstable Primary; Ellen M. Gibbons, Plains; L. Estelle Phinney, Santuit; Ada J. Brown,' Co- tuit Primary, transferred from Santuit; Lula E. Payson, Cotuit Grammar; Helen J. Goodspeed, Marstons Mills, who resigned at close of fall term and was succeeded by Ralph B. Kelley; Fanny L. Walton, Osterville Interinedi- ate; Maude E. Richardson, Cotuit Intermediate. Miss Carr and Miss Goodspeed ' are college graduates. The others are normal graduates, with the exception of Mr. Kel- ley, who is not a graduate, but has attended both normal school and college. WAGES OF TEACHERS. The schools will be good in so far as they are taught by healthful, skillful, consecrated, moral teachers. Retention of teachers possessed of these essential qualities depends in increasing measure upon adequate compensation. A good teacher demands and commands a larger salary to-day in Massachusetts than ever before. Professional service of any kind demands its price. Teaching is slowly but surely rising to the dignity of a profession, not only in the estima- tion of those who teach, but what is equally important, in e 131 the'estimation of all classes of people. The profession of teaching calls for as thorough preparation as the law, theology or medicine. The time is coning and now is, when the Bungler in the school room can no more be toler- ated and encouraged than a quack doctor. Teaching is both a science and an art, and those who practice it must study and apply the principles of education. A suitable preparation for teaching is never completed, and thus it happens that the teacher must spend her savings for books, magazines and educational papers, must become a member of educational associations and pay dues therein, must attend, where possible, summer schools and institutes. All these things draw heavily, on the teacher's purse and make it imperative that*she receive more than enough for a bare subsistence. Three hundred and forty dollars a year for teaching is only $1.08 per day, reckoning the working year as 313 days. It is not a fair statement of the case to say that $10.00 per week is paid, since the great majority of teachers have no opportunity to earn money during vaca- tions. Most teachers would gladly teach longer than our- schools are in session, but the taxpayers have decided that they prefer that schools should be in session only 170 of the 313 secular days in the year. The teacher, however, must live 365 days, dress well and help, oftentimes, members of the family, out of her scant earnings. To state the facts should .be enough to convince one that our teachers are underpaid. There need be little surprise that there is an exodus of teachers .every year to towns and cities where the school year is longer and the weekly rate of wages higher. The surprise to me is that we retain teachers as .long as we do. There have been those in our schools who remained for a season out of gratitude to the school .authorities for giving them their first schools when they were young and without experience. This is good for the schools as long as it lasts 132 but we cannot expect that the debt of gratitude will not finally be paid. Gratitude is one of the fairest flowers that can issue from the human heart and its display must not be wholly in the individual teacher. The town in its corporate capacity should show its gratitude in the tangible form of dollars and ceiits. Bread so cast upon the waters would return after many days (and not so very many either) for the children even more than the teachers would benefit by this increase. More money for the teachers means a strengthening of their physical and mental powers, a cheering and toning up of their lives of toil. A person physically sound, mentally alert and conscious that his services are appreciated and that patient continuance in well doing will bring its finan- cial reward, will teach with a zeal and spirit unknown to the teacher who gets her sole reward in a mere pittance and the consciousness of duty faithfully performed. Teachers should radiate cheerfulness, happiness and hope- fulness. Can they do it on $340 per year? When one asks himself this question let him not forget that the pur- chasing capacity of a dollar is not what it was five years ago. Living expenses, according to official statistics, have increased from 15 to 20 per cent. in the past five years. The teachers' wages have remained stationary. In my 1902 report I proposed a schedule of wages that would seem to offer a partial solution of this vital question. I will not repeat that schedule here any further than to say that the scale of wages was a gradually increasing one, the maximum wages for primary and intermediate teachers being $50 per month, for grammar school teachers $70 per month. A very important feature of this schedule is the suggestion that the school year be lengthened two weeks. There may be very naturally, differences of opinion as to the amount of increase at the end of each additional year and also as to the maximum. I am not sure that the 133 amounts stated in the schedule would in all cases be the fairest. I ani quite sure that the principle of gradually in- k creasing wages is fair and equitable. It certainly cannot be right to reach the maximum for primary and interme- diate teachers the second year as is the practice now. It is when filling vacancies, particularly in the middle of a term,that I find it difficult to secure desirable teachers. It is solely a question of money. The $50'per month _ teacher sees not the $50 forthcoming and your superin- tendent continues his search for the $40 teacher with vary- ing deiYrees of success. At the slid he is philosophical and reflects that he did the best he could with $40 and hopes G the teacher will prove to be much better than he has a right to expect. I dismiss this subject with no thought that I have said the last word on it or that the case could not be put in stronger and more convincing terms. I trust enough is written to show that inaction on this question and the .highest effi- ciency-of the schools will not ao hand in hand. What at first thought seems a plea for justice for the teachers is only a part of that larger question,'right dealing with the children. , Let us keep in mind the children and Settle all school questions from the point of view of what s best for these little ones. ' 13ARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL. The Barnstable High School opened in September; 1896, tt e. first year of the present superintendency, with an enroll- ni,nt of 67 pupils. September, 1903, found an enrollinent a 88 pupils. The fall term closed with a membership of 91, there being an accession of three pupils during the term. The present seating capacity of the main room is filled to overfi.owina notwithstanding now desks were added at the beginnina of the school year. There can be no further ad- ditini of desks in this room, as the floor space is completely B-10 r 134. utilized. Passing to and from classes is attended with small freedom of movement owing to the crowded condition of desks and other school room accessories. The entering classes 'of the past three years have been large, numbering from thirty to thirty-five. If a class of equal numbers is received next fall there must of necessity be a resort to the rooms of the,assistant teachers. A more unsatisfactory way, of disposing of the surplus from the principal's room would be hard to conceive, and it ought to be only a temporary arrangement if it Becomes a necessity. The time is at hand when choice must be made between an enlargement of the building and a new school house. More room would give opportunities for increasing the usefulness of the school. It is my conviction that the high school is not meeting the needs of its students as it can be made to do. The teaching faculty is not large enough, and the courses of study are not sufficiently practical for the great mass of young people. A strong commercial and English course including type wining and stenography can be'added if we enlarge the capacity of the building and augment the corps of instructors. But little can be done toward intro- ducing courses of study radically different from the present courses with three teachers. The law prescribes what studies. shall be taught in high schools, and it is our first duty to comply with the law. Compliance with the law in a school of 90 pupils, with three teachers, leaves little or no time 14r optional branches. Sections 1 and 2, chapter 42 of the Revised Laws enutnQr- ate the subjects from which a high school course of study shall be made. Preparation for normal schools, technical schools and colleges, and general culture training, all of which requirements are named in the law, would tax to the utmost any faculty of three.teachers, however efficient. Speaking of preparation for college, I digress at this point to remind parents that justice to teachers and pupils de- !I I 135 mands that teachers be made acquainted with the parents' intentions to send their children to college or technical school, as soon after children enter the school as possible. A teacher should know at the beginning of the second year, when possible, if he is expected to fit a student for college. Under no circumstances should a decision to prepare for college be made later than the beginning of the third year. . • The studies for a college preparatory student are quite dif- ferent from those of a student .who is'not going to college. Hence the need of giving ample time to those who are to meet the exacting requirements of the colleges. I resume my plea for more teachers by calling to witness an educator who has for many years stood as a leader in educational reform. President Eliot, of Harvard Uni- versity, writing in the November, 1903, Atlantic Monthly, and alluding to the consolidation of rural schools, says (and I quote him because the principle is equally applicable to the present situation .in the High School) : "Great im- provement in rural schools has resulted from bringing the children daily from the farms by wagons in to the central village, in order that one large graded school can be carried on at the center instead of many widely scattered small schools in which accurate grading is impossible. This improved machinery would be a doubtful blessing if its smooth working did not require and encourage the employ- ment of a better class of teachers; but the evils of the ma- ebine—the lack of attention to the individual child, the waste of time for the bright children and.the tendency to work for a fair average product instead of one highly diversi- fied—are done away with so soon as a large proportion of teachers to pupils is employed—such as one teacher for from sixteen to twenty-five pupils—while the many ad- vantages of the good machine remain." On the basis of one teacher for from sixteen to twenty- five pupils the High School with its ninety pupils, and more 136 in the near future, would'have five teachers. . This number of teachers would require four recitation rooms at least, be- sides the principal's room. Now there are two recitation. rooms. The need of the times is a greater attention to the individual pupil. This need was a prominent consideration in the minds of the Committee and Superintendent when they recommended a building of three rooms at West Barnstable. The principle holds Good all along the line and departure from it in the High School cannot fail to produce unsatisfactory results. Believing it unwise.to postpone action, I recommend that the town appoint a committee at its annual meeting, to in- vestigate conditions at the High School and report with recommendations at a special meeting if further action is deemed desirable. DRAWING AND MUSIC. The union with the town of Yarmouth for the employment of supervisors has not met the expectations of the superin- tendent of schools of either town. Unofficial, but what is undoubtedly reliable information, has come to me that Yar- mouth is desirous of dissolving the union and returning to its former practice of having both branches supervised by a single teacher. However wise this action may seem to our sister town, I believe it would be retrogression for Barn- stable. It is best that the towns separate, since the desire for dissolution on the part of the superintendent's is mutual. As an interested observer of results attained under one supervisor teaching both subjects, and of work accomplished under specialists in each subject, I have no hesitation in de- claring in favor of the latter. My recommendation is that the town employ a supervisor of Music and a supervisor of drawing, each of whom shall devote her whole time to Barn- stable. If the town can Command their entire time, weekly visits can be made to every school, and much needed assist- 137 ante given in schools whose teachers are lacking in knowl- edge of one or both studies. In changing teachers it fre- quently happens that an,appointment has to be made from candidates who can neither sing nor draw. A school taught by this kind of teacher is entitled to very frequent visits from the supervisors. Fairness suggests that favorable con- ditions in all schools sball be made as nearly equal as possi- ble. Employment of two teachers on full 'time will aid in this direction. NEW BUILDING AT WEST BARNSTABLE. The new school house in this village was built from plans similar to the ones followed in the construction of the Train- in , School, the arrangement of rooms and the system of heating and ventilating being identical. The blackboards are of first quality natural slate, the best that was obtainable. The rooms seat 30 pupils easily, and there is no lack of light on the darkest days. This feature of construction has caused favorable comment. The way in which the light shall enter the rooms is controlled by adjustable curtains known as the Allen shades. These shades have also been placed in the enlarged room at Osterville with equally sati:- factory results. The basement is in partitions for sanitary purposes. It is sufficiently large to offer opportunities for manual train- ing, in which something will be attempted when the super- visor of drawing has prepared a course in woodwork adapted to our needs. Occupancy of the third room has been deferred until there shall be an average of twenty pupils to each room. The two rooms now in use number 32 in the primary department and 22 in the granmiar. Should the primary school increase in numbers I believe it would be better to open the third room,even though the combined attendance falls below sixty. 138 Thirty or more pupils in five classes can not receive from one teacher the desired individual attention. The best of conditions for a country school will prevail here when all rooms are used. The teachers are superior, have been with us a number of years, and know well the pupils, their homes and environment. Pupils and teachers alike are proud of what the town has clone for them, and are duly appreciative. The good things done in the old. school will be duplicated and extended, and children of parents born across the seas will be transformed by the be- nign influences surrounding them into loyal, useful citizens of our great composite republic. Respectfully submitted, F. W. PINGMAN, Superintendent of Schools. 139 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING. To Mr. F. W. Kingmdn, Superintendent of Schools. DEAR SIR:—I am glad of an opportunity to publicly ex- press appreciation of the work done in drawing this past year. The teachers have shown a faithful, friendly attitude in carrying on the work assigned them, and have made it possible for the children to do good progressive work. Exercises i.n representation and design have been given with the aim of training; the pupils to see, do, and appreci- ate. In these exercises, objects, men and things have been drawn as tboy are seen, and as they are pictured by memory and the imagination. Beauty has been obtained by arrang- ing tones, measures, and shapes to secure balance, rhythm and harmony. The pupils of the primary grades, working with more interest and greater appreciation, have given the best results. These grades are doing most satisfactory work. The intermediate and grammar grades do not as readily take up new exercises and new ways of working. Many of the drawings made in these grades have been discouraging to pupils and teachers. Better and very gratifying work is now being done, though not as good as can and will be done. In the high school drawing is made of so little account; that necessarily little is accomplished. It is only through the helpful co-operation of principal and pupils, that the best results possible under existing conditions, are obtained. Results which are at all satisfactory can only be secured when more time is given to the subject, smaller classes are formed, and a room suited to the purpose is provided. Mr. Bailey in speaking of drawing in the high schools says "Music may be taught in an assembly ball filled with chil- dren; not so drawing. A teacher can seldom teach success- 140 fully a class of more than twenty or thirty at once, and these only in a room by themselves, and with proper equip- ment." The work done in the high schools should perfect the work done in all the grades below. In a high school as large as ours, there should be two distinct courses in drawing for at least two of the four years. One course should°be connected with manual training and the constructive frts,the other should deal with the decorative and pictorial side of art. Both should give the pupils culture,—technical skill and a love for truth and beauty. President Eliot of Har- vard in asking for a better recognition of drawing in the high schools emphasizes the technical side when he says: "Drawing should be studied as a mode of tbought. A very large proportion of studies now train the memo ry; a very small proportion train the power to see straight and do straight, which is the basis of all industrial skill. The in- dustrial quality is to dominate the future of America. Skill is essential. It must be acquired by the millions in the pub- lic schools. Eight years of drawing in the elementary schools is now practically thrown away, -because it is not continued in the secondary schools and colleges." Denman Ross pleads for drawing for the sake of "technical training and high standards and ideals.." "To give our pupils techni- cal training alone is doing nothing for civilization. It makes force—ability without aim or purpose. We must not forget _the other half of it, the better half of it, which is the love of righteousness, of truth, of beauty." The pupils of the Barnstable High School need, desire, and deserve the training which a good course in drawing can give them. Respectfully yours, FRANCES L. SWETT. 141 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC. To 111r, F W. Iiingnzan, Superintendent of Schools of the Town of Barnstable. DEAR Sir,:—In regard to the work in music for the past year I would say, taking everything into consideration, it has been quite satisfactory. . The work has been carried on in much the same way that it was last year, taking in the Primary grades the establish- ing of tones before attempting anything further. Very few pupils are found who have any difficulty in giving correct tones after the first few trials. Then a few tones are taken by dictation. Even after a child has acquired the tones by imitation there is more or less difficulty in his going further. The nest step is representation of the tones established. This is done by means of notes on the staff. Tones and some tine seem to be all that the small child is capable of holding, so nothing Primary child has been has been attempted. The een taught to sing relatively in any key by use"of a cross called a "check marl:," that taking the place of the signature. They have also been taught double, triple and quadruple time, using quarter, half,. dotted half, whole and group of two notes. The Intermediate grades have been taught how to sing a clotted quarter and eighth.note and all signatures have been taught. Book wort: has been taken up in these grades; also two-part work. The Individual wort: is used to very good advantage in these grades, teaching the child inde- pendence. In the Grammar grades we have continued the Individual work, also the two-part work, taking much more advanced work than we could last year, including Musical History. In the High schools we have taken some advanced Har- mony and have gained good results from it. 142 Where the Individual work is used in the grades, the pupils show a marked improvement over last year. As a child gains confidence he shows more ability and frequently gains in ability as he gains confidence. Nothing can gain independent work like individual sight reading; the child who sings alone must sing or fall—if the child falls, then ig the Supervisor's opportunity—she can save and help this child as she could nod do were the pupils singing in chorus. This was entirely new in 1902, and the progress has been remarkable for so short an acquaintance with it. Respectfully submitted, ESTELLA BUTLA\D, Supervisor of Music. 143 STATISTICS. 1.

To the School Committee of Barnstable.: In accordance with Article IV, Section 10, of the Rules of the School Committee, I have the honor to submit here- with my ninth annual report of the public schools for the year ending December 31st, 1904: COST OF THE SCHOOLS. Current Expenses, $17,198 55 Repairs to School Buildings and Grounds, 1,371 97 Transportation of Pupils, 2,770 38 Text Books and School Supplies, 998 85 Total, $22,339 75 In comparing these expenditures with the appropriations given in the financial report of the Secretary of the School Committee it will be noted that one appropriation, that for Repairs to School Buildings and Grounds, has been over- drawn. Extensive repairs were found to be necessary in Cotuit, Centerville, Barnstable, and the Training School. At Cotuit the school house was painted, a well was driven and needed alterations were made in the heating system. At Centerville a new fence along the main road was built, the grounds were graded and the entire building was pro- vided with adjustable window curtains. 121 At Barnstable the Primary room was enlarged by remov- ing the partition between the school room and a small room in the rear. The walls of the room were sheathed, and the school house was painted and provided with storm doors. At the Training School new grate bars for the furnaces were purchased to guard against delay or inconvenience in case of a break or warp occurring to the grates in use. New closet chains and plates and zinc sheets for covering closet seats bought in 1903 were paid for from this year's appropriation. Another large item of expense was incurred for stones to build a wall between the Training School grounds and land of Nelson White. The building of this wall will permit the filling of an unsightly hole and the planting of a willow hedge to connect with a similar hedge on the Normal School grounds. All buildings were thoroughly cleaned during the sum- mer vacation and the floors were, as usual, well oiled. The buildings and surroundings as a whole never pre- sented a more wholesome and inviting appearance than when the schools opened for the year's work. Clean buildings and orderly grounds. have a most salutary effect on teachers and pupils. The quality of work within the school room is greatly modified by the physical , sur- roundings. The excellent manner in which repairs are made year after year has elicited favorable comment from our own teachers and out of town visitors, a fact which would seem to indicate that few towns excel ours in this respect. APPOINTMENT AND RESIGNATION Or TEACHERS. Nearly one-half of the schools opened the fall term with new teachers. Several teachers, who had been re-elected at a substantial increase of salary, were successful in find- 122 ing positions where the compensation was much larger than ours with the increased wages. Most of the new teachers are gaining their first experi- ence in our schools. It is hoped that the new schedule of wages will prove sufficiently attractive to hold those whose first year's work is satisfactory, at least until the maximum wage shall have been reached. The changes of the. year are shown in the following tables WITHDRAWALS. NAME TIME SCHOOL Wm. H. Crocker May and Dec. Barnstable Grammar Richard A. Burn June " " Harriet O.

During the fall term an assistant was employed in the Barnstable Grammar School. This action was taken to help make good the loss incurred by changes in the spring term. With the advent of a new principal in vigorous health the services of the assistant were discontinued. It ought, perhaps, to be said that the total cost for teachers of the Barnstable Grammar School for 1904, notwith= standing the employment of an assistant, was less than the previous year. THE DIUSIC (QUESTION. The Supervisor of Music resigned her position May 1st. Since that time there has been no supervision of this study. It was thought best not to engage a new super- visor so' near the close of the school year. At a meeting held during the summer vacation the question of super- vision of music and drawing was considered by the committee, and it was decided in view of changes con- templated in the new High School and the need of more frequent supervision in all the schools, to employ the draw- ing teacher every day in the week. It will be remembered that until this year both supervisors have taught three days each week in our schools. After this provision for supervision of the drawing was decided upon it was felt by the committee that the in- crease in the cost of High School support, occasioned by 125 the introduction of the commercial course, was a sufficient reason for holding the matter of music supervision in abeyance until the annual town meeting. It is my opinion, based on the observations of nearly ten years in our schools, that music instruction in the schools has been worth all that it has cost. Apart from its office as a refining and elevating influence in the home, church and social circle, music has a distinct educational value and on this ground alone its place in the school would be justified. If I may judge from expressions of regret made by interested parents and teachers when they learned that the special music teacher was no longer em- ployed, there can be little doubt that the taxpayers are willing to pay the price for the continuance of this kind of supervision. It would be estrange, indeed, if the town were to dis- continue supervision of music teaching, at a time when the highest educational authorities in the state are recommend- ing greater attention to music. In the latest report of the State Board of Education we are urged to give music a larger place in the High Schools. It would be folly to attempt improvement in music in the High School if a good foundation upon which to build is not being laid in the lower schools. It may seem to some people that the regular teacher ought to be able to give instruction in music without assistance from a super- visor. Some teachers are abundantly able to teach music without assistance or direction of any kind and yet in the absence of supervision there is not the same attention given to the subject that there would be if it was known that the work in music was to receive frequent inspection by the specialist. Then too, for every teacher who has re- ceived adequate musical training two can be found who have not had such training. It is for such as these that a supervisor is especially needed. 126 The cost of supervision will of course depend on the number of days per week given to the work. "What is worth doing at all is worth doing well." Past experience tends to show that weekly visits would be most beneficial. Visiting each school every week would necessitate utilizing every school day. allusion has already been made to the fact that the supervisor of drawing now gives all her time to our-schools. My recommendation is that the same amount of time be allotted to music supervision. Carrying out this recommendation will involve an expense of.approx- imately $500, or to state the fact in another way it will in- crease the average yearly cost of scbooling 75 cents per pu- pil. The question therefore.is: Can the town afford for music supervision 75 cents per year for each individual pu- pil, in addition to the other necessary school expenses? Perhaps an answer may be found in the-statement that of the moneys.available for schools in 1904 there was an unex- pended balance of $958.95. But little more than half this sum would pay for a music specialist. ENROLL31ENT AND ATTENDANCE. The number of different pupils attending school during the year ending in June was 734, ten less.than the year be- fore. The average membership for the same time was 656, for the year preceding 679. The falling off in membership was caused by the prevalence of measles during the winter and spring terms. This disease secured a foothold in near- ly every village in town, in consequence of which there was hardly a school in which progress in the studies equalled the standard of former years. In the Osterville schools and the Cotuit High so much time was lost in the winter that it would not have been possible to make good the time with- out running into July, a course that seemed inexpedient to the committee. There was little assurance of a satisfactory 127 attendance so late in the year. In hot weather only a mini- Inum of results can be obtained with ;a maximum of effort. Many children find gainful employment at this season of the year and on this account also it was thought to be unwise to prolong the closing term. The visitation of smallpox in 1903 and measles in 1904 interfered so much With the smooth running of the schools that it is our earnest wish that freedom from contagious diseases will prevail for a long time to come; Our school year at best is a short one and we can ill 'afford to repeat losses like those of the last two years. THE NEW COURSE IN THE BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL. "If our free schools did their work with thoroughness and,. skill, there would be no place for the large number of com- mercial schools which parents are obliged to patronize to fit the graduates of the public schools for commercial and cler- ical positions. It is a great task the public has assumed to provide for the education of all and it will not be completely carried out until the needs of modern conditions are realized and successfully met." These quotations from an editorial in a recent Boston daily paper reflect the sentiments of many parents in the town of Barnstable. They are under rather than over statements of the views of some critics. The failure of our schools to provide instruction specially suited to modern business conditions has loomed so large in the eyes of super- strenuous'advocates of commercial education that the many good things that the schools have done and are doing have received scant credit. Let us, however, try to be fair. It should be acknowl- edged that it is a real hardship and one that should be done away with, that parents possessed of a small share 128 of 'this world's goods should be obliged to send their children, after graduating from the public schools, to the city for a business education. It is the privilege of a Superintendent to stand at the centre of the educational interests of his town. From this vantage around he ought to be able to judge calmly and sanely of the merits and defects of the school system. From such knowledge as my opportunities have afforded me I have never been able to take the position of an extremist on the question of business education. Experi- ence is.continually demonstrating that there is no panacea for all the ailments that the schools are suffering. My advocacy of a commercial,course in the High School is not inspired by a conviction that this course is the one thing needed to make the school system perfect. People taking this view are doomed to disappointment. - A more rational way of regarding the commercial course is to look upon it as an ag efficiency ency that will increase the eciency of the It schools because it will meet the needs of many who do not fit into the other courses and will give additional advantages to those who are pursuing the present courses with profit. Its maintenance at public expense is justified on the ground that its benefits will be general. It is too much to expect that its benefits will be universal. To achieve the same measure of success as commercial schools in cities- there must be a. rigid adherence to high standards of excellence and the appointment and retention of well-qualified teachers. No efforts have been spared to start the new course on a good basis. The typewriting machines in use are those most commonly found in business houses. The desks and chairs, and the text books in stenography and book-keeping are of the most approved kinds. The teacher first appointed and the one now in charge 129 are believed to be equal to the requirements of the posi- tion. The course is popular as is proven by the enrollment of nearly one-half of the members of the school in this department. It will be our constant aim to make the training received so good that a boy or girl graduating from this course shall receive a preparation for business and office practice equal to the demands of modern business life. An aim as high as this can be realized only by the hearty co-operation of the public. The generous manner in which the taxpayers took upon themselves another heavy obligation to erect a new High School building is an added proof, if proof were needed, that the citizens want to give every educa- tional advantage to the youth and that they are ever ready to grant the school officials the buildings ,and equipment which are regarded as essential. Judging the future 'by the past the inference may reasonably be drawn that co- operation.in this new movement will not be lacking. The people will continue to make financial sacrifices for the things they believe in. CHANGE IN RULE OF ADMISSION. Article III, Section I, 'of the Rules of the School .Com- mittee was amended, shortly after the fall term opened, by the substitution of the word January in place of the word November in the second line. The section now reads: All children, residents of the, town, who reach the age of six years on or before January 1st of the school year for which ad- mission is sought, and who are not otherwise disqualified, shall be entitled to attend the public schools, but pupils not sufficiently ad- vanced to enter the lowest grades shall be admitted only at the opening of the fail term. 130 The rule as changed will allow any child to enter in the fall, who reaches the age of six during the fall term or, to speak more accurately, on or before the opening of the win- ter term. The attention of parents is also called to the latter part of this rule. Application is occasionally made for the en- trance of children in the spring. It is because of the rule that admission is allowed only in the fall that the. granting of requests of this nature is refused. Upon second thought the wisdom of this rule will be ap- parent. The organization of the primary schools would be- come complicated if new classes were formed each term. The number of classes would be increased and the work of the teacher made more difficult. The attention given each child would be less. It is hard to see where a more lenient rule of admission than the present one would be advanta- geous to the school as a whole or to the individual child. AN APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN GRADUATES OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. Since the Hyannis Normal School was opened in 1897 there has been opportunity furnished high school graduates to broaden their education without leaving town. Some of our graduates have taken advantage of the privileges so freely provided by the state. In the eight years that the Normal School has been established fifteen young women graduates of the Barnstable High School have graduated from the Normal School. Five young women are in attend- ance the present year. The male graduates of the same High School, who have taken diplomas from the Normal School number two and only four have entered in these eight years. The Cotuit High has sent eleven graduates to the Normal, six young women and five young men. Of this number four women and four men have graduated. Two men and 131 one woman are attending the Normal at the present time. One of the young men now in the school is a two years' graduate who has returned to complete the four years' course. One young woman of an early class left school be- fore completing the course. Since 1897 the Barnstable High School has graduated ninety-nine, thirty-four of whom have been young men. It seems strange that the larger of our two High Schools, located in the same village as the Normal School, should not send a fair proportion of its male graduates to an institution whose worth is recognized and whose graduates are in quick demand for desirable po- sitions. The teachers of the High School in Hyannis have called the attention of their graduates to the excellent op- portunities furnished by the Normal School., but thus far_ with little success in prevailing upon young men to attend. It is a very delicate matter to advise people what voca- tions to pursue in life, yet it seems probable that some of our young men would, with a normal training, make excellent teachers. There has never been a better time to enter upon educational work. Teachers' wages everywhere are increasing. There is greater tenure of office. The profession is one of the most ennobling that can engage human attention. I appeal to parents who have sons in the High Schools to consider with them whether teaching is not sufficiently at- tractive and promising to take advantage of an opportunity lying at their very doors. In appealing to the men I • most cordially commend the example set by the young women and also the good showing made by the Cotuit High School. In concluding this report I wish on behalf of the boys and girls of Barnstable, to thank the taxpayers most hearti- ly for the new High School building with its modern ap- pointments and more varied courses of study. Before 132 another report is written realization will take the place of anticipation of its many advantages. Respectfully submitted, F. W. KINGMAN, Superintendent of Schools. 133 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING. To _Hr. F. TV It inflnian, of Schools: My second report on drawing in the Barnstable schools is respectfully presented. In this report I shall speak of the present condition of the work, state the aim and some- thing of the value of the course in drawing, and make suggestions, which if carried out, will further the advance of the work in this subject and help to more closely relate it to school work in general. In the elementary grades, the work in nearly all of the rooms is steadily progressing. The grammar rooms, the rooms which last year seemed to be making the slowest progress, are this year showing the greatest improvement. The work is marked with increased interest on the part of 4 the teachers and pupils. Better visible results are obtained. These results show that the pupils have a keen interest in their work, that they have thought intelligently, seen care- fully, that their hands are obedient and trained to repre- sent what their minds and eyes see. We must look forward to the-time when the new High School is used for the production of satisfactory results in drawing in the High School. But somewhat improved conditions in carrying on the work have made it possible to undertake and accomplish more work this year than in other years.. Since the .beginning of the fall term two more periods, making four in all, have been given to the subject. Because of these additional periods the classes are smaller and the pupils-of the same year work together. The work taken up which is distinctly new is mechanical drawing with instruments in the senior class. Sufficient interest in the subject and fairly good results at the begin- , ring, promise speedy progress and excellent future attaill- B-10 134 ments. If mechanical drawing like the larger subject of which it is a part becomes a study of the school curriculum because it has a strong educational value, the pursuit of it is to be encouraged. It is developmental in teaching care- fulness and accuracy-in planning,in giving power to manage tools and in demandin;• neatness and accuracy in execution. The imagination and originality are trained, if new forms are planned and constructive designs are made. Technical excellence; the .finished drawing, the objects made are not the aim. These are to be counted of little worth outside of the technical schools, the art schools and business life. Those studies are to be taught and learned which help the pupil attain what is best for his own needs and will assist him in furthering his relation with the lives he- touches. Thus manual training, mechanical drawing, and the various phases of freehand drawing must make for this general aim. Few children have sufficient ability to enable them to be- come artists either in creating works of art with the brush, In making works in marble or bronze, or in designiou buildings and textiles. Though drawing in the public schools should give those °who care to pursue the study further, a strong, efficient foundation for such work, it is not for them that the course is prepared. The course.is for all and by means of it all should gain knowledge, skill of hand, and a broad, appreciative insight. Aesthetic appre- ciation develops slowly, but it is ,possible for all to become somewhat sensitive to excellence and beauty. Every indi- vidual- for his own and'others' needs should acquire the power of discrimination. He should become able to choose the good from the bad, the useful from the useless, .the beautiful from the ugly. Thus in drawing the arrangement, the whole effect of the sheet is considered as important as a careful representation of an object. The understanding of the principles of design and the working out of problems in pure design are 135 more important than the applying of design to a particular object. The child who makes crude representations, and expresses feeble ideas should receive more attention than the child who easily makes drawings which are correct and pleasing. The drawing lesson should leave its mark on all school work where there is creative or manipulative expression. In the drawing lesson the children are taught orderly arrangement, harmony of color, neatness and simplicity. q The school room as far as possible should illustrate these qualities. Teachers' meetings, one at the beginninu of each term, would give a needed opportunity to .present, explain and criticise the work with the teachers. An exhibition to be held near the close of the school year, showing the regular class work of the different grades, is strongly recommended. Such an exhibition would be of help to the teachers in showing there the work which other rooms with the same grades are doing.
