REPORT Or MOTH SUPERINTENDENT.
Report of the gypsy and brown tail moth superintendent
is respectfully submitted:
The result of the scout for brown tail moth nests during
the winter of 1908-09 resulted in taking about sixty bushels
of the nests throughout the town.
The scout for 1910 is now well advanced and not over
half as many nests wile be found as were taken last year.
The scout for gypsy moth egg clusters for 1910 has not
yet been started, as the superintendent thought best to take
off the brown tail nests first. Below is a list of the colonies
we have at present with the number of caterpillars and egg
clusters found during the summer and fall of 1909
Mr. A. F. Edson, Cummaquid, 75 caterpillars, no egg
clusters.
Mr. Bigelow Lovell, Osterville, 92 caterpillars, 5 egg
clusters.
Mulberry Corner, Osterville, 33 caterpillars, 3 egg clus-
ters.
Plains, near school-house,.133 caterpillars, 2 egg•clusters.
Mr. Wallace Ryder, Cotuit, 45 caterpillars, no egg clus-
ters.
Dr. Coolidge, Cotuit, 31 caterpillars, 1 egg cluster.
Mr. Horace Fisher, Cotuit, 8 caterpillars, no egg clusters.
Mr. Wallie Harlow, Cotuit, 28 caterpillars, 2 egg
clusters.
During the scout of these colonies for egg clusters dur-
ing the fall of 1909, only thirteen egg clusters were found
78
in all, which is very favorable to the extermination of
several of the colonies the coming season.
A colony we had at Mr. Horace Sears' place at Cotuit
High Grounds, where we killed 4,000 caterpillars and
found twenty-one egg clusters in 1907-08, was tended in
1909 and carefully scouted for both caterpillars and egg
clusters, but nothing was found and the colony stamped out.
All the above infestations are ready for the burlap sea-
son of 1910, and none present special difficulties in the way
of suppression.

REPORT Or TREE WARDEN.
The work of the Tree Warden the past year has been al-
most wholly confined to the fight against the elm beetle.
The beetles have been very prevalent and active in our
section for a number of years, and it has been necessary to
spray all the elms in the Town. This was done last year
with the exception of a few trees in Osterville, these it was
impossible to cover before the foliage had been stripped.
These should be among the first to be sprayed this year.
In addition to the elm beetle we have the canker worm in a
short section of our street trees in Centerville; they come
early and are not particular what they feed on, eating elm,
maple, or linden as soon as the leaf opens. This will re-
quire an early spraying in this small section.
The only money expended besides that for spraying; was
for the necessary trimming and digging around young trees.

Tree Warden.

SUPERINTENDENT'S .REPORT.
To the School Committee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee, I
have the honor to submit my fifth annual report on the
public schools, for the year ending December 31, 1909, the
same being the nineteenth.in the series of Superintendents'
reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
.REPAIRS$ ACCOMPLISHED.
In addition to ordinary repairs on all the school buildings,
special repairs were made as follows:
Barnstable: New floor and new desks and seats in
grammar school room.
Hyannis. : New sanitary system in Training School.
Centerville: Additional coat of paint to exterior of
building.
Osterville: New cellar and new'heating system installed.
Marstons Mills: Exterior of building painted, one side
of roof shingled.
Santuit: Exterior of building painted. Well driven.
Cotuit: Fence erected in front of grammar school
building.
94
REPAIRS NEEDED.
This subject belonging specifically to the School Board,
and involving the questions of appropriations and taxation,
suggestions made by the Superintendent should be under-
stood as tentative merely.
New heating and ventilating apparatus and improved
sanitary conveniences are needed at Barnstable.
Better basement accommodations are needed at West
Barnstable to meet the crowded conditions likely to obtain
there.
Improved sanitary conditions and new furniture are
badly needed at Marstons Mills.
The erection of a new grammar school building'at Cotuit
would be about the only, really satisfactory solution of the
problem there. The present building is a piece of patch-
work; ventilation, heating and lighting are all unsatisfac-
tory, and the sanitary system detestable; and all this
though every reasonable effort has been made to improve
these conditions. The radical improvements needed here
would cost nearly as much as the building itself is worth.
Proper playground facilities are needed at the Elizabeth
Lowell school.
Improvements, similar to those suggested for Barnstable,
should be made later at Centerville.
The exits at the grammar school buildings at Barnstable,
Centerville and Cotuit are unsafe in case of fire, and proper
action in this regard should take precedence over all other
repairs.
Should only a portion of the above suggestions be
adopted, it is evident that the appropriations for "Repairs"
are hardly likely to be less in the future than in the past.
TRANSPORTATION.
The chief annoyances incident to this costly factor in our
95
school administration can be lessened only as drivers can
be found who are competent to effectively control children;
but here, as in the matter of obtaining competent teachers,
the demand greatly exceeds the supply. '
A barge was added in the Santuit section during the
latter part of the fall term. Should this arrangement be
continued, the total cost of transportation is likely to be
not less than forty-two hundred dollars annually.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Further experience with medical inspection, in the
schools throughout the state, demonstrates without question
its high value, both in safe-guarding the health of the pupils
in.general and in restoring to many unfortunate sufferers
from physical defects, such as adenoids, power to compete
with their fellows once again on equal terms. The matter
should be treated not as a fad, but as a distinct addition to
the,future safety and well-being of the children, and the
amount appropriated for the purpose should be such as to
allow inspection at least once a term in every schoolroom
in the town.
RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.
Several important changes took place during. the year.
Early in January, Mr. %emira Baker, principal of the
Centerville school, resigned, after an enviable record, both
as teacher and citizen, of over a quarter of a century's faith-
ful service to the town. Mr. Baker's teaching was notable
for its clearness, accuracy, thoroughness and efficiency, and
his graduates were, for many years, considered among the
best prepared among those entering the High school. Mr.
Baker was, later in the year, unanimously elected to the
principalship of the grammar school at Barnstable, but was
96
unable to accept. Many among the town's leading citizens
have reason to be deeply grateful to Mr. Baker for the
thorough training received under his hands.
Mr. Allen B. Doty, after three years' successful work it
Barnstable, resigned to accept a more remunerative position
at Mansfield.
Mr. A. Monroe Stowe, principal of the Training school,
Miss Harriet C. Moore, teacher of the fifth grade in -the
same school, and Miss Elizabeth M. Davis, teacher of the
Centerville primary school, all teachers of unusual ability,
resigned in June. All now occupy positions superior to
any we would be able to offer.
Shortly before the opening of the fall term, Mr. Edward
H. Leonard, principal of the Elizabeth Lowell high school,
to which he had given many months of hard work, resigned
to accept an attractive business opening, and Miss Alice M.
Crowell, assistant in the Barnstable high school, whose
place during leave of absence had been filled by Miss Aimee
E. Currier and Miss Letitia M. Cahoon, was unable to re-
turn for the fall term.
The vacancies occurring from the resignations noted above
were filled in their order by the following appointments:
Richard C. Wilton, followed by Alton W. Reed; Clarence
E. Michels, Andrew G. Johnson, Louise K. Morss, Mary
McConnel, Chas. L. Gifford and Lena B. Nutter. Lida S.
Whittemore was appointed part-time assistant at West
Barnstable. All the appointees had had experience in
teaching.
ENROLMENT, ATTENDANCE, ETC.
The past school year showed the largest enrolment, mem-
bership and attendance on record. The school census of
1909, however, seems to show clearly that the slight but
steady growth in school population for several years past
97
has ceased. We may henceforth look for.a slight decrease
in enrolment annually. Among the most marked changes
are the increasing enrolment at West Barnstable and the
decreasing enrolment at Cotuit. The abnormal proportion
attending the high schools is discussed elsewhere. The
percentage of attendance, except in one village, has been
fairly satisfactory. We have had but very few cases of
truancy.or of corporal punishment, and those of our teachers
who have taught elsewhere commend the general spirit of
'co-operation shown by Barnstable pupils:
FINANCIAL.
The total expenditures for all the school departments the
past year amounted to $31,257.02, being $109.56 less than
those of the year preceding.
The expenditures for "School Purposes" exceeded the
appropriations available by $349.81 ; those for "Text-books
and Supplies" were $9.95 less than the appropriation; those
for "Transportation" $66.63 less than the appropriations ;
those for "Repairs" $887.67 in excess of the appropriation.
The excess expenditure under "School Purposes" was due
in part to the maturing of the salary schedule adopted three
years ago, nearly all of our grade teachers having now
remained with us long enough to become entitled to the
maximum rate. Nominal increases in the salaries of the
high school assistants, an increase in that of the principal of
the Elizabeth Lowell school, and the employment of a part-
time assistant at West Barnstable account for the rest.
Expenditures for "Text-books and Supplies" were kept
within the appropriation simply by refusing, to purchase
beyond it. By so.doing, however, the schools had to go
without books that could have been profitably used. An
unpresented "Transportation" bill remained unpaid at the
end of the fiscal year. Had this been paid the expendi-
98
tures under this head would have about equalled the ap-
propriation. The excess expenditure under "Repairs" was
due chiefly to extraordinary repairs at Osterville and at the
Training_ School. At the latter school the crematory sys-
tem in the south wing was found to be in a wornout and
dangerous condition. It was .replaced by a modern. sani-
tary water system at a cost of about four hundred dollars.
At the Osterville school a completely new heating system
was installed at a cost of about four hundred fifty dollars.
Both systems appear to be giving satisfaction.

APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED FOR 1910.
Reckoning on no increase in the teaching force or in the
salaries of teachers or janitors, the amount needing to be
appropriated for "School Purposes" for the ensuing year
will be not less than $300 more than the sum expended
under that heading during.1909.
Should the present abnormal enrolment in the high
schools continue, an appropriation for "Text Books and
Supplies" equal to that of last year will be barely sufficient.
The contemplated purchase of new text books in physiology
and hygiene and individual dictionaries for the upper ele-
mentary grades could not be made because of the large sum
necessarily expended for high school books.
99
"Transportation," with the additional expense of the
Santuit barge, will need at least as much as last year.
In its estimate for "Repairs," the Board has planned for
extensive repairs and improvements in many buildings,
especially in that at Barnstable.
:In the matter of increase of salaries within the last few
years, Barnstable compares favorably with other towns in
the county. Yet the salaries of most of the teachers bear
little relation to value given. Long years of costly and
laborious preparation are followed by hard work in the
most trying and nerve-wrecking of all professions, work
usually far array from home and performed under a constant
fire of criticism and fault-findinb. And all this for a
financial return which permits of living but meanly, with
little or no opportunity of saving for the inevitable."rainy
day." Is it any wonder that wbat should be a profession
becomes a makeshift, to the loss of all concerned?
Recent inquiries concerning teachers in our own county
show that about five-sixths are teaching elsewhere than in
their home town, a majority pay board for the 52 weeks of
the year, and about half contribute to the support of others.
Stringency in the money market is hardly. likely to ensue
from investments in steel stock by these teachers. Con-
ditions outside the matter of salaries, make the schools of
our town costly, but they are conditions which cannot be
helped.
While Barnstable his done well within the last few years
in the matter of increase of salaries, we should not deceive
ourselves in the matter of results. The increase has not
been commensurate with the increased cost of living, nor do
the salaries now paid begin to compare with those in the
cities and larger towns, where the work is less difficult and
the opportunities wider than with us. The difficulty of
obtaining competent teachers has constantly increased, until
100
it seems hardly possible that the situation could become
worse.
In considering the whole matter, the thoughtful voter
will hardly fail to act upon the belief that the efficient
teacher will do work even more valuable, to the future well-
being of the town than will the stone crusher and the road
roller. Good roads are valueless without good citizens to
use them, and Barnstable wants both.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS.
No marked progress has been made during the year in
the solution of the difficulties somewhat fully outlined in
last year's report. Most of these remain with us yet,
unconquered and unchanged.
In the elementary schools emphasis has been laid upon
the use of the mother-tongue, and an attempt has been made
to modernize the course in arithmetic. Simple concrete
geometry has been substituted for elementary algebra in the
ninth grade. The teaching of history and civil government,
though faithfully done, still in many cases leaves much to
be desired. It is too often formal, detached from life and
unillumined by those illustrations and examples which
would tend to awaken in the pupil a real interest in the life
about him and a desire to help it along.
The work in nature study, of inestimable value when
rightly conducted, remains wofully inadequate, largely due
to the defective training received by the teachers. So also
in the training of the hand, on the fundamental importance
of which all thoughtful laymen and educators agree, little
or nothing has been done, except that called for by the
work in drawing. The careful and comprehensive planning
and effective teaching in the latter subject merits special
mention, as also does the work in music.
101
It is worthy of mention that in the one other county in.
the state in which the physical and financial conditions
affecting the schools closely resemble our own, twenty out
of thirty-two towns have some form of manual training.
Although several important changes have occurred in the
teaching force of the elementary schools, the work has been
carried on by the new instructors with comparatively little
loss. The improved conditions brought about at Barnsta-
ble and West Barnstable by the employment of part-time
assistants greatly exceed in value the additional cost in-
volved. The Santuit school is at present probably the one
offering the most difficult conditions to meet successfully,
and the faithful efforts of its instructor deserve the active
co-operation of the parents.
The Training School has carried on its characteristic
work with little interruption. The report on the school,
by Principal Wm. A. Baldwin, may be found, elsewhere.
Some of the many difficult problems confronting our high
schools were discussed in the 1968 report. An abnormally
large enrolment in both schools has made the solution of
these problems still more difficult. High school enrolment
in the majority of towns varies from nine to fifteen per cent.
of the total enrolment; in Barnstable it is over twenty per
cent. It is doubtful if this record is equalled by any other
town in the State.. At the Barnstable High school the
assembly room cannot accommodate. all the pupils. The
classrooms seating thirty, and the freshman class enrolling
forty-seven, this class must be conducted in two divisions,
at a great loss of time and energy. The increased enrolment
at the Elizabeth Lowell High school has made the problem
there more acute also.
The maintenance of two bigh school plants, together with
B—s
102'
the large comparative enrolment and the cost of transporta-
tion, entails an unusually heavy financial burden, the cost
per pupil being about double that for pupils of the cle-
mentary schools.
While doubtless a few attend the high school because
they have nothing else to do, nevertheless this large com-
parative enrolment must have real significance. It must
mean that parents are more and more coming to realize the
value of high school work, both as fitting its pupils for
efficient daily living and as pointing the way and furnishing
the inspiration to continued self-improvement. This con-
fidence puts a heavy responsibility on school officials and
school teachers for the proper organization and effective
teaching of suitable courses of study. But the adoption of
such courses is often delayed by the conservatism common
to rural communities, ' and their effective teaching is
rendered difficult by the heavy hand of traditional methods.
We are wronoing our children, who cannot help themselves,
when we are content with the same school methods and
aims which obtained twenty years ago or more. We are
not even doing our duty in fitting them for present condi-
tions. It is for us to anticelpate as far as possible the life of
twenty years ahead and to give of our best to fit our
children for that life.
The Barnstable High school offers at present two courses,
an English-Latin and an English-Commercial course. The
English-Latin is supposed to fulfill the double function of a
college-preparatory course and a general course. The
record made by its graduates now in higher institutions
indicates that under its present instructors the first function
is being adequately fulfilled. That such a course can give
equally successful preparation for the graduate going at
once into the active life of the work-a-day world is more
than doubtful; it does not and cannot do so. Various high
103
.schools offer many courses under many names, but the one
course most needed in the small high school, a Citizens'
Course, which will fit the college and the non-college can-
dilate each equally well for his immediate future, has not
yet been devised.
A commercial course in a high school which dealt only in
strictly commercial subjects would be undesirable, as tend-
ing to that too early specialization which may yet prove a
serious social menace. In our own course the four years
of English should be retained and strengthened and three
years' work substituted for two in French and in German.
Additional facilities for the teaching of Banking should also
be provided.
The report of Principal Boody may be found elsewhere.
The building up of the Elizabeth Lowell High school,
from its modest beginnings, has been a laborious and often
a somewhat discouraging task. The disastrous effects of
constant change of principals have been ever present with
us. Some of these have been young men of limited ex-
perience and widely varying ideas and ideals, with little
knowledge of, and'at times little sympathy with, the com-
munity in which they worked. Such conditions render the
steady development of the pupils and efficient organization
of the school impossible. What is needed now is close
adherence to the course of study and continued hard wort:
by the pupils. The drawback of inadequately prepared
pupils will be felt less severely in the future, as the gram-
mar school is no longer overcrowded. The membership in
the high school'itself will also be considerably reduced in
the near future. Under the present conditions and with the
present teaching force, not more than two courses of study
can be offered, with limited electives. A commercial course
104
would require a third instructor and an additional room,
An. improvement in discipline and an increased spirit of
study marked the fall term. The report of Principal Gifford
may be found elsewhere.
Barnstable has done much in the past which indicates a
desire of constant advancement. The building of the
Training School at heavy expense, the abolition of isolated
schools, the early employment of a superintendent, and later
of competent supervisors in drawing and in music, the con-
stant improvement of school buildings and the erection of
two high school-, the generous supply of chemical and
physical apparatus, the increase in salaries, the employment
of part-time assistants, the careful attention given by the
School Board to suggestions intended to improve the work
of the schools—all indicate that we cannot justly be charged
with that ultra-conservatism which finds its most congenial
home in the average rural comnninity.
But much remains to be clone. There is no more deadly
blight on progress than individual or community self-
satisfaction. We have too much yet to do to permit us to
stop and "point with pride" to what may have been already
accomplished.
A few of the more immediate needs of the schools may
be briefly stated as follows:
Economy of time by closer attention to the essentials of
the fundamental studies of the common schools and the
elimination of antique processes and useless subjects.
More effective teaching of applied hygiene.
A reasonable amount and kind of simple hand training,
History and civil government taught with more direct
reference to life.
Radical revision of the course of study for the first year
of the high school.
105
A larger relative amount of time given to science in the
high school.
Utilization of the Barnstable high school grounds for
ornamental, agricultural and athletic purposes, in line with
the most progressive schools.
Maintenance of a high standing in the high school by .
stricter entrance requirements and by requiring the total
amount of work in any course to be equal in difficulty and
time required to that in the college-preparatory course.
Continued co-operation with the teachers by the parents
in helping the young people toward better and more useful
living.
However important methods and courses may be, the
most valuable factors in the direct education of the child are
still the teacher and the parent. Given a teacher of native
ability, training and experience, with patience towards the
faults and weaknesses, and sympathy with the aspirations and
enthusiasms of the yoimy, and receiving the active,support
of the parents, we should have good schools, though school
boards, supervisors, superintendents and educational theo-
rists in general should retire for a while into cold storage.
A witty woman writer has recently said, "It is a self-
evident fact that for the thoroughly successful teacher there
is but one. standard: he must be an angel for temper, a
demon for discipline, a chameleon for adaptation, a.diplo-
matist for tact, an optimist for hope, and a hero for cour-
age. To these common and easily acquired qualities of
mind and heart, he should add india-rubber nerves and a
cheerful willingness to trust a large portion of his reward
to some other world than this."
Respectfully submitted,
G. H. GALGER.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE BARN-
STABLE HIGH SCHOOL.
G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
This last year has I think been the most filled with work
of any since I have been principal of the school.
In the fall term there was an enrolment of 119 and we
closed the year 1909 with 115 pupils on our list,
15 more than the assembly room can accommodate. The
size of the incoming class, numbering as it did 47 pupils,
made it necessary to divide the class in Algebra into two
divisions. In English and English History it was not
possible from the number of teachers and the time at their
disposal to retain the class in two divisions, and in con-
sequence of this the teachers of History and English have
been obliged to conduct recitations in these subjects in the
assembly room, as the recitation rooms have each a seating
capacity of but 30-17 less than required for the class.
It is but justice to these two teachers to state that they
have worked cheerfully and faithfully despite the handicap
of so large a class.
GIFTS.
Mr. James Otis has given us still further proof of his
interest in the welfare and work of the school by his gifts
of two large pictures which hang on the malls of the main
room, the one of the cathedral of Notre Dame and the other
of the spire of Ste. Chapelle, and of a large album contain-
ing photographs of places and chateaux of especial interest
to.the classes in French.
107
AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
As a firm believer in the benefits derived from athletic
sports rightly conducted it seems to me that it is time that
a B. H. S. Athletic Association were formed to have in its
control and under supervision all athletic games and con-
tests held in the name of the school.
The directors of this association should be chosen from
the school board, the alumni association, and the school.
Such an association could take upon itself as one of its
most important duties the raising of funds for the proper
grading of land to the west of the school building for an
.athletic field.
That athletic field is coming some day and as a friend of
the school has said to me, "It is better that the alumni and
other friends of the school should have a part in the de-
velopment of the grounds than that some one individual
should do it all."
An athletic association working in co-operation with the
alumni could so arouse public interest in this matter that
we could have in the near future an Alumni Field, which
the boys and girls would thoroughly appreciate and enjoy,
from which they would derive benefit, and of which the
town would be proud.
THE COLLEGES.
These questions have been put to me: "Don't you think
you are educating your pupils away from the Cape? Don't
you think you are turning their attention too much to tech-
nical schools and colleges, and not enough to the develop-
ment of the resources of Cape Cod?" My reply is: We
are trying not to educate them away from the Cape, but for
the Cape.
The time is coming when a concerted movement will be
108
inaugurated toward the agricultural development of Cape
Cod, and when it does come, we want B. H. S. men among
the leaders.
If we are gointi "back to the farm" it had better be by
way of the agricultural college than by way of the high
school.
With this thought in mind, we urge upon those boys who
have any leaning toward agricultural pursuits a course in
the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst. One
of our boys has already been graduated from this college
with high honors, two more are at present doing good work
at this institution, and at least three other boys are prepar-
ing to enter in a year or two.
It is our earnest desire to see our boys and girls advance
along the lines of work for which they seem best fitted.
We watch them carefully, consult with them often, seeking
ever to discover that one line of endeavor in which each
can do the most good; then we encourage 'them and
urge them to get the best preparation possible for their
future work, whatever that work may be.
We are not educating them away from the Cape. We
could not if we would. The homing instinct is too strong.
Last June, the examinations of the College Entrance
Examination Board were given at the school under the
supervision of Rev. Richard Owen, as a result of which one
of our graduates entered Barnard College.
Three of our boys entered Pratt Institute in September,
making a total of five at that institution. All the girls of
last year's graduating class, four in number, entered the
Hyannis State Normal School.
One of our recent graduates, having secured the degrees
of A. B. and A. M., is now studying for a Ph. A An-
other, after doing post-graduate work at her college, is
working for a higher degree at Columbia.
109
The reports which all these young people make to us and
the happiness they find in their work contribute to make us
all the more certain that we are doing right in. urging our
pupils not to let their education cease with their gradua-
tion from the high school.
In closing this.report I should like to express my thanks
to those parents who by their co-operation with me in my
work and by their words of appreciation and encourage-
ment have helped me in my efforts to promote the welfare
of their boys and girls.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS M. BOOD Y.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE ELIZABETH
LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL.
SUPERINTENDENT G. H. GALGER,
Dear Sir:
I submit a brief report of conditions and needs of the
Cotuit High School. That the people of this section of
Barnstable fully appreciate the new building, its equipment
and its possibilities, is shown by the constantly increasing
attendance and the ambition of the pupils for advancement.
Forty-eight students were enrolled during the Fall term of
1909 and but for the sad loss by drowning of two promising
boys the main room would have been fully occupied, a
condition unlooked for so soon after the erection of the new
building.
The school has been kept well supplied with apparatus
and books and a typewriter has been added.
Frequent changes in the teaching force have had a demor-
alizing effect, especially on the evolution of the course of
study. The fact that the whole work must be done by only
two instructors, has and will for the present, prevent the
school offering more than two complete courses of study
and attain to its standard demanded of the High schools.
A commercial course is desired by a few, but this is im-
possible unless another teacher should be added. While
diplomas may be awarded for good and sufficient work in
such a course, the larger number prefer to pursue studies
that entitle them to admission to the Normal schools and
colleges. The graduating class of 1910 number eleven,
and nearly all are ambitious to continue their education in
higher schools of learning, and the larger percentage in the
State Normal School at Hyannis. We trust this class will
113
be able to raise money sufficient to take their proposed
trip to Washington during the sprint vacation.
A. movement will be made to raise funds for the, purpose
of clearing land in rear of building for playground purposes
and it is hoped that liberal contributions will be made.
The Principals of our High schools, both of Cotuit and
w
Hyannis, in their reports for the past several years, have
appealed to parents to co-operate with them in the matter
of home study. I find this the greatest need in this school,
and I earnestly wish to emphasize the importance of home
work and regular attendance, as few pupils if any, are able
to do the required work, unless they study out of regular
hours at least two hours daily. r
Our attendance is fairly good in pleasant weather con-
ditions, but the geographical location proves unfavorable to
good attendance in bad weather.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. L. GIFFORD.

REPORT ON THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
Mr. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools,
Barnstable, Mass.
Dear Sir:
In response to your kind invitation I am glad to follow
what is becoming an annual custom and submit through
you a few words regarding the Training School for the
consideration of my fellow citizens.
From year to year different phases of the work have been
discussed. This year I shall confine myself to suggesting
some of the advantages and disadvantages which are here
found.
In any school which is being used as a practice school
for inexperienced student teachers there are certain to be
some disadvantages, such as poor discipline and errors in
teaching. In the Hyannis Training School great care has
been exercised in planning and administering the work so
as to keep the disadvantages at a minimum and to more
than offset these by the inany advantages provided.
The reader may be interested to know how this is done.
In the first place, great pains is taken to provide a first-
class teacher for each of the six rooms in the Training
School. During the past year $5,550 was expended for the
six regular teachers, or an average of $925 each. Of this
total amount the town paid $3,087 and the state $2,463.
This amount of money, if wisely expended, should secure
very strong teachers.
During the first half of the year the teaching is practi-
cally all done by these teachers and the school is a model
school. During the second half of each year the Senior
Normal students who have been in training at the Normal
School for one and a half years go into the Training School
115
to learn from the Training School teachers how to do the
real work of the class room. The regular teacher of the
room is responsible both for discipline and for teaching.
The pupil teachers act as assistants or apprentices. This
males it possible to give much more attention to backward
children and to do .many things which could not well be
done in a school with only one teacher.
Resides the regular teachers the Training School receives
the benefit of expert supervision in music, drawing, physi-
cal training and industrial work and in all of the regular
subjects. This is furnished by the State at a cost of more
than $700.
So much for the teaching. Let us turn now to the matter
of equipment. The Town furnishes for the Training School
books, paper, and other material it the same rate per pupil
as to the other schools of the Town. The State supplements
such supplies by purchasing such books and other equip-
ment as may, from time to time, be needed to put this into
the most favored class of the schools of the State. The
pupils of the Training School have also free access to
Normal School laboratories, manual training room, cooking
room and to any other appliances which may seem desirable
for broadening their horizon. Classes in geography have
the free use of the stereopticon with about one thousand
fine lantern slides; opportunities are even given upper grade
children to see Venus, Saturn and other planets through the .
fine Normal School telescope under the leadership of the
instructor in astronomy. The Normal School library is
well provided with books on plants, animals, biography,
and all other subjects which come.into the work of the
children. These are at all times accessible for use in the
Training School.
It will readily be seen that it is possible to afford, here in
the Hyannis Training School, opportunities for an educa-
116
tion equal to that offered by any public school in the State.
The school is often visited by experienced experts in
education. These approve of the general plan of the school
and compare its work favorably with that of the best
schools of the country.
Those of us who have know the school intimately for the
past ten years know that great changes have been made in
that time. These changes are, I believe, directly in line
with changes which are being advocated for all public;
schools by the new State Board of Education.
But many other things ought to be done. We should
continue to move steadily forward, improving our schools
as we strive to improve our roads, our oyster lots and our
cranberry bogs.
The State stands ready to help us with anything which
seems reasonable and fairly certain to improve the public
schools. Mutual co-operation will insure.continued im-
provement in school opportunities for our children.
Very respectfully yours,
W. A. BALDWIN.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
To Mr. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools:
The year's work in drawing has been marked by con-
stant and united efforts on the part of your supervisor, the
grade teachers and the pupils to make every lesson as good
as possible. We understand each other and work together
with a directness of purpose, impossible two years ago.
The pupils as a body are eager to do their best. The
model drawing and especially the nature drawing of the
fall term, shows increased power to see essentials and to
express them with a degree of accuracy and precision.
The December lessons were again devoted to the planning
and making of Christmas gifts. Some creditable work was
done in every school. All these lessons emphasized the
usefulness of drawing by showing its relation to the things
made. Simple working drawings told the size, shape and
necessary details of the objects made. Pupils who made
ornamental designs to be applied to cloth, brass or leather,
learned that the addition of fitting ornament gives beauty
to many articles in common use and increases their value.
Design has been presented in connection with these and
similar exercises in construction and decoration. Little
as we have attempted in these lines we have felt the need of
good examples of decoration in each building. We want
charts showing examples of flowering plants and the beau-
tiful shapes obtained by making side views, top views, sec-
tions of their parts. Such charts should not be treated as
copies. Their study should lead each pupil to see that
from his own nature-drawings he can derive new forms that
belong to himself alone. When he uses these forms in his
designs he feels the joy of creating that comes to him who
118
?succeeds in making pleasing patterns that are his own.
Moreover such designs, crude though they may be, stimu-
late to further efforts, as copying designs never.can.
ZD
Valuable collections of good designs might be made in
each grammar school if we began, at once, to save and bring
in examples of printing, of artistic lettering, of wallpapers,
of scraps of beautiful textiles suitably mounted, pictures of
furniture, of Greek vases, of,modern pottery, in fact of
any object beautiful in form or color. These should be
conveniently arranged for use and each example should
illustrate some principle of design or show harmonious
coloring. Two series of drawing books recently published
have unusual merit along these lines and would form a
stimulating nucleus for each collection.
The village librarians would undoubtedly be willing to
place on their shelves a few books of reference that would
be helpful to all interested in design as related to structure
or ornament. A copy of The School Arts Book" along-
side other magazines in the reading rooms would offer a
never failing source of pleasure and profit to teachers and
pupils.
The Barnstable high school is indebted to Mr. James
Otis for aid along these lines. He has brought to it from
Paris many examples of French Gothic architecture. He
has famed two especially attractive pictures of Notre Dame
and of the spire of. Sainte Chapelle, which .hang in the
assembly room, while others are arranged for class room
use.
Systematic form study has been commenced in the
primary and intermediate grades, because we find in the
grammar and high schools vague notions of the facts of
form, and a ]Knowledge of these facts is the basis of clear
thinking in mathematics as well as in drawing. These
when properly presented can be profitably learned in the
lower grades, as Kindergartens long ago demonstrated.
119
Nearly three years' service in the Barnstable schools,
with weekly visits in each school room, has enabled me to .
watch closely the development of the children and forced
me to form certain conclusions in regard to the needs and
possibilities of rural schools. One of these may seem self
evident to an outsider, though as teachers we try to ignore
it. Village schools with from three to five grades in one
room cannot accomplish for individuals or classes results
easily obtained in larger classes made up of one grade.
We should keep in mind the ideal courses of such schools,
but our rural schools must teach, with emphasis, the vital
things that our boys and girls need to know; these
essentials, well taught, will not only awaken the desire for
more knowledge but develop efficient, self reliant workers.
Power and strength to make good, will come by doing a
few things as well as they can be done, in the time at our
command, not by getting a slight acquaintance with many.
I wish to call attention to the great difference in the
advantages offered to the middle grades in the two-room as
compared with the three-room buildings. The division
into primary, intermediate and grammar rooms enables the
middle grades to do far better work than can be done when
the fourth -rade. must remain "clown stairs" with the
younger children and the fifth go "up-stairs" to be taught
with four other grades. If the amount of time that can be
given to each grade in the two-room buildings should be
compared with that given where there are three rooms, the
injustice would be apparent, and a uniform arrangement
demanded by parents.
Mention was made in last year's report of the manual
work done at West Barnstable by Mr. Perrin. Care and
accuracy were insisted upon by him at every step in those
lessons. To-day the value of such instruction is shown
by the present drawing in the high school, of the pupils
whose habits were formed in that school.
The unusual size of the entering class in the Barnstable
high school has made it impossible to give bench work the
time necessary for systematic instruction. The tools are
used to make articles needed in the drawing room, .and by
individuals for special work.
The Elizabeth Lowell school has a larger enrolment than
ever before and needs better accommodations for its draw-
ing classes than the assembly room furnishes. Better work
could be done with less interruption of other studies if a
suitable place were provided for drawing and manual work.
The unfinished room over the entrance stairs could be
finished and furnished with chairs and tables at small ex-
pense with great gain to the school.
Drawing was made an elective subject in September for
the seniors and juniors of the high schools. The advanced
classes are in consequence smaller and more time can be
given to individuals who really desire to draw. The young
men who continued the study are working with a definite
purpose and doing work that will bear comparison with
that done in technical high schools.
The science teachers of the Barnstable high school are
requiring drawing as a means of expression whenever a
drawing will.illustrate a statement or make a demonstration
clearer. This demand will stimulate the work all over town
because it will impress upon the grammar school pupils the
fact that drawing helps them express themselves if they can
make simple, clean-cut drawings. When a boy or girl has
been drawing an hour and a half every week for nine or ten
years, careless drawing is as inexcusable as incorrect spell-
ing.
In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation of the
earnestness, courtesy and good will that characterize all
121
with whom I have been associated. Because of this unfail-
ing co-operation and faithfulness we are able to record a
steady gain in the quality of the work in this department.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
To Mr. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools:
In my last report I tried to outline briefly the plan of
work which we, the teachers and I,. are endeavoring to
follow in music. I can truthfully say that throughout the
town a decided improvement has been made in taking hold
of the work as well as in the reading, which demands the
closest concentration and a thorough knowledge of the fun-
damental principles, in tone quality and in a greater ac-
curacy in regard to pitch, which has been accomplished by
the listening plan; or in other words, more listening and
less singing. Much individual attention has been given to
the monotones and as a result the number of so-called mon-
otones has diminished rapidly, although there are still a
number of children on the listening roll. For the tireless
energy and unceasing labor of the teachers, as well as their
kind consideration and co-operation, I wish to express my
earnest appreciation and gratitude. It is their daily labor
that counts and without it the most conscientious supervis-
ion would be, if not quite useless, at least of much less
value.
It is impossible to follow any method exactly and un-
swervingly, but by adapting the Weaver Method to the
conditions and circumstances under which we are working,
and following it systematically, a steady improvement is
being shown in all the grades, especially in the lower
grades.
The limited time is of course a serious disadvantage, yet
in spite of this drawback, I am pleased to be able, to state
that several weeks ago a two-part exercise in the key of C,
4-4 time, was sung at sight, correctly, by a class composed
of the second and third grades, which to my mind goes to
123
prove that we are working in the right direction. By hav-
ing a lesson plan for every lesson, time is economized and
every minute of the lesson hour finds the children occupied
with one of the following phases of the work: 'Technical
work, such as names of keys, time, principles, etc., ear
training or sight reading. Spending a few minutes at the
beginning of each lesson breathing properly and attacking
vowel sounds with ease .and accuracy has proved of great
value, and it is to thA that both the teachers and I have
attributed a greater facility and enjoyment in singing. It
will, I hope, also succeed eventually in banishing every
trace of embarrassment, especially among the older boys
and girls, which any attempt at individual work now causes.
In some of the grammar Grades we have been able to accom-
plish a very little in the line of biography and music form,
and the vigor and enthusiasm with which this step has been
attended is very gratifying.
The chorus work in both the Elizabeth Lowell High
school and the larnstable High school is decidedly more
satisfactory than at this time last year and will, I earnestly
hope, continue to.improve, so that we may gradually work
up to such a degree of excellence as to be able to render
such selections as Wagner's "Pilgrim's Chorus," or Handel's
"Largo" in a creditable manner.
Some of the girls of the Barnstable High school have
formed a Glee Club, and under my direction meet Mondays
and Fridays, when, although but a short time is available,
we are able to accomplish a little in the line of three-part
Songs.
In closing, I would say that the question "Of what use is
music in our public schools?" has occurred to me persis-
tently of late, and after much consideration I have come to
the following conclusions: Music is of no use in our
schools if it cannot be given its proper place, and by that I,
124
mean its due consideration. If it is to be taken as an
"aside," perhaps "to kill time," in our High schools for
example, it is doing more harm than good, but if it is given
undivided attention for an allotted time each week, when
systematic study is given to the correct placing and emis-
sion of tones, to the technical work, to reading music at
sight and finally to singing songs in an appreciative man-
ner, with that sense of rythmn, shading and purity of tone-
quality which only the love for music, together with a real
knowledge of its underlying principles can acquire, then it
is of priceless value. It is true that in school we can only
get the least possible glimpse of the great masters, but to
be able to appreciate and above all, to be able to examine
for ourselves the rich treasures of music when we enter our
life work, is a privilege which can never be fully appre-
ciated. lts worth is not to be counted as gold or silver
,perhaps, but as an inspiration, a help and a comfort which
will last us throughout our lives.
And so it is, I trust, that we have music in our schools,
not to learn a few songs, which shall mean nothing in later
years, but to get as large an insight as possible into music
as one of the finest arts in all the world.
Respectfully submitted,
ETHEL M. HORSMAN.

REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR.
To Mr. G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools :
But little can be added to my reports of previous years.
There are, however, two points which are worthy of men-
tion.
First, the increased interest on the part of the pupils
from year to year, second, the attempt to make the course
more.practical.
Of the first I will speak but briefly. It is true that each
year the pupils become more enthusiastic over the commer-
cial work, each year the classes co-operate with nee more
cheerfully and willingly. I feel that it is fitting to take .
this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the
splendid effort the greater part of the present Junior and
Senior classes are putting into their work.
It is needless to say that the object of the commercial
course is to fit the pupils to take up the work of stenog-
raphy, typewriting and bookkeeping in offices and to do the
work as business men desire it done. To this end we try
each year to get in closer touch with actual working condi-
tions—to make the course more practical. I have tried dur-
ing the past year to get as many ideas as possible from prom-
inent business men, to find out their methods of doing busi-
ness, and how to apply what we are teaching in school to fit
their needs. It would be of the greatest assistance to me if
the business men of the town, who desire stenographers and
bookkeepers, would tell me the conditions existing in their
offices, just what they require of their bookkeepers and
stenographers and how they wish it done. In training a boy
or girl, if I knew exactly the position he or she would fill, I
could give him or her special drill along that line in addition
to the regular work of the school.
126
It often happens that a young stenographer who does ex-
cellent work under the supervision of the teacher makes an
utter failure of office work, because the conditions of the
office are so different from those of the class room. In order
to familiarize the pupils with miscellaneous dictation taken
outside the classroom I have asked the principal whenever
possible to dictate his letters to the pupils, to be taken clown
in shorthand and transcribed later on the typewriter. The
pupil is thus thrown entirely on his own responsibility ex-
actly as he would be in an office.
The pupils also do a large portion of the clerical work of
the-school on the typewriters. In several instances we have
sent pupils out to fill substitute positions as stenographers
for a short time, accepting this work as an equivalent foir
class room work.
Just a word in closing about the future commercial course
of the Barnstable High School, the ideal course. Such a
course would include the present course somewhat extended
and enlarged, more time for stenography and typewriting,
corporation bookkeeping and banking added, and larger op-
portunities afforded for office practice, so that the pupil may
be taught to do a large number of things that he will be re-
quired to do in business, such as taking letter press copies,
cutting stencils, and many other things along this line,
which he ought to know, but for which there is no,time at
present.
My thanks are due to the Principal of the Barnstable
High School for the cordial and sympathetic way in which
he has always responded to my suggestions for strengthen-
ing the commercial course, and to the Superintendent of
Schools for his helpful advice and unfailing courtesy.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGIA Al. SIMONS,
Commercial b1structor,

REPORT Or THE MEDICAL INSPECTOR
To the HONORABLE SCHOOL COMPHITTEE of the Town of
Barnstable:
As School Physician for Barnstable Schools during 1909,
I beg to submit the following report:
Last year a careful examination of the school buildings
was made, and various improvements suggested as necessary.
This year especial attention has been given the personal el-
ement, rather than the environment of our students. With
the exception of the school at Barnstable, where the im-
provements made and contemplated are being wisely made
and conservatively carried out, conditions are much the same
as outlined last year in my report. The more modern of the
school buildings are very satisfactory, being readily kept
clean, well-lighted, and the sanitary needs adequately pro-
vided for. This is not true of the older buildings, those at
Cotuit, (with the exception of the High School), Marstons
Mills, Osterville, and Centerville. All these buildings are
in such worn condition that it is well-nigh impossible to
keep them clean, the light is insufficient, or the windows
poorly-placed in regard to the position of the pupils, and
heat and sanitation are very faulty. The High School build-
ings at Hyannis and Cotuit are probably the best in the
town, the buildings at Centerville and Osterville, in the
matter of lighting and sanitation, undoubtedly the worst.
The town makes large appropriations for its schools, but
their efficiency could be materially increased by insuring to
all our children, while in school, the same degree of light,
warmth, and cleanliness that they enjoy in their own homes.
Healthful conditions, physical and moral, are also for-
warded by securing efficient and self-respecting janitors and
128
barge drivers, and any reasonable sum expended in trying
to secure these should be regarded as well spent.
Notwithstanding all these defects in our educational sys-
tem, as practiced in the Town of Barnstable, the schools are
in a generally healthy condition. The registers show a s,it-
isfactory percentage of regular attendance, the teachers re-
port favorably of the attenlion and industry of the pupils,
there has been but little absence from illness, and no danger-
ous contagion has menaced us. .An inspection of our bright-
faced, eager, and intent school-cbildren must surely impress
us with the idea that Cape Cod still produces brainy people,
and although our methods must of necessity change, to keep
pace with those of more densely-populated communities, we
may well be proud of our schools, and of the young minds
that are being trained there for the future battle with life.
I must again call your attention to the absolutely inade-
quate appropriation for School Physician. His work is of
yearly increasing importance, and a sufficient appropriation
should be made to provide for more frequent inspection;
thereby minimizing the danger of noxious diseases infecting
our schools, and providing for our growing children the ben-
efit of such protection as we can give them, if we will.
Respectfully submitted,
J. HAYDN HIGGINS, M.D.
School Physician.

BURIAL LOT FUNDS.

These are invested as follows, viz:—
City of Providence bond, $5,000 00

$12,753 37
I sincerely hope that the condition of the treasury this
coming year will warrant my taking this balance of$3,753.37
and investing it in bonds, thus eliminating this account from
the treasury, as it is a trust fund and should not be in the
treasury at all.

found his books carefully and neatly kept and all accounts
systematized and easily audited. They will be a monument
of his worth to the town in years to come. In consideration
of the manifold duties of this office we deem it proper to
inform the citizens of the Town that they may give to Mr.
Bearse the credit that is his due.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
SCHOOL BUILDING.
Your committee chosen at the last annual Town Meeting
to consider the need of a new school building at Osterville,
beg leave to report as follows;
They met at Osterville in August and again in December,
and after carefully examining the present building, and in-
quiring into present and prospective conditions as to number
of pupils, would respectfully recommend that a proper site
be secured, and a new four-room building be provided for
the schools of the village of Osterville.

MILK INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
Marstons Mills, Jan.. 10, 1911
To the Board of Health of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:—
Having been appointed Milk Inspector for the Town of
Barnstable, and having been asked to give a synopsis of my
work to the present time, I take pleasure in doing so.
At the time of my appointment, I was.instructed by your
Secretary, to inspect each dairy in town, at least four times
during the ,year, and also to test the milk from each dairy,
from time to time;as I thought necessary.
Will say that I have made forty-four inspections exclusive
of the people's dairies that I have inspected, who sell milk
to the dairymen.
Have tested thirty-four samples of milk, and in testing
the thirty-four samples have found but three samples that
tested below the Mass. Standard, which calls for 12.15 per
cent. of total solids, of which 3.35 per cent. must be milk fat.
To show you the importance of milk inspection, will say
that the dairymen in town, and one or two out of town, who
bring milk into this town to sell, have nine hundred and
fourteen customers, and in the summer season supply nine-
teen hundred and ten quarts of milk per day.
At the beginning of my work, I think that the dairies in
town compared well with the dairies in any town on the
Cape; yet in the most of them I found room for consider-
able improvement. When I have visited the different dairies
after inspecting the cow stables, I have generally inspected
the milk utensils, to see that they were properly washed;
117
and when at any time I have found the conditions were not
satisfactory as to the way the dairy work was being done,
the people in most cases have been willing and anxious to do
as requested.
As to the testing of milk, will say that when a sample of
milk fell below the standard, and I have notified the dairy
man as to the result of my test, which the law says that I
must do within ten days, that in no instance has it happened
the second time.
There seemed to be no dishonesty in the matter, but the
dairyman had not mixed the milk as thoroughly as he should
have. If the dairymen will thoroughly mix the different
cows' milk, when it is first drawn from the cows, I do not
think that,there is a herd of cows in town, whose milk will
not test well above the Mass. Standard. While there is a
stardard up to which milk must test, yet as regards the
people's health, I consider cleanliness above all.
And you may visit the different dairies in town to-day,
and you will find them as a whole, in much better condition
than were in the past.
As to what I have said about there being room for im-
provement, will say that in my opinion the Inspector should
be instructed to visit dairies more often, as I think that bet-
ter results could be obtained if the Inspector kept more in
touch with the.dairymen.
Nearly all of the dairymen, during some part of the year,
buy considerable milk from other.parties; yet they have no
protection as to the quality or cleanliness of that milk, ex-
cept what they can get from inspection, and yet after it
passes into their possession they are responsible, as to the
quality and cleanliness of it.
Therefore although it means much more work for the In-
spector, I think that very good results would be obtained, if
each dairyman was instructed to notify the Inspector just
before.buying milk of other parties, and the Inspector visits
the places that the milk is coming from, to see that the con-
13-9
fig
ditions are suitable, for the person to sell the dairyman milk.
I I believe that nearly as much milk is spoiled by improper
care, after it is delivered to the consumers, as there is before
it leaves the possession of the producers.
Ride along the street in most any village from nine to
eleven o'clock in the morning, in warm weather, and you will
see at several homes, milk in jars or cans on the piazza,
that was left there several hours before by the dairyman,
and frequently the producer is blamed because it sours more
quickly than it should. Therefore it seems to me that as the
expense would be very small, it might be a good plan to have
some small cards with a few simple instructions printed on
them, as to the proper care of milk in the home, and the re-
quired number of them be given to each dairyman, and he
be asked to place one in some conspicuous place in each
customer's home.
Massachusetts is fighting as hard, if not harder for pure
milk, than any other state; and as far as I know, Barnstable
has taken the lead along the line of milk inspection, among
the Cape towns, and I feel that we have made a very
creditable showing up to the present time.
Very respectfully, 1
GEO. T. MECARTA,
Milk Inspector.

SUPERINTENDENT'S KEPORT.
To the School Cognmittee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee, I
have the honor to submit my sixth annual report on the
public schools for the year ending December 31, 1910, the
same being the twentieth in the series of Superintendents'
reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
REPAIRS ACCOMPLISHED.
Barnstable: New heating and ventilating system through-
out, with new stack.
Cotuit: New floor and new furniture in intermediate
school; roof of grammar school building shingled.
Centerville: New sheds and outbuildings.
Hyannis: New chemistry table and additional seatings
for the high school. Roof painted.
Other villages: Miscellaneous repairs.
REPAIRS NEEDED.
Of the needed repairs specifically mentioned in last year's
report those referring to Barnstable village and Cotuit have
been in large part accomplished. For repairs still needed
the reader is referred to the above-mentioned report. Ref-
erence to the Osterville building is deferred pending the
report of the Committee on School Buildings.
132
TRANSPORTATION.
The barge added at Santuit last fall was retained through-
out the year. This, with the increased cost of the other
barges and of railroad transportation, resulted in a total
expenditure of over forty-six hundred dollars under this
head. Possibly to our already overcrowded curriculum we
may have to add exercises in teaching the art of walking.
MEDICAI. INSPECTION.
Each year's experience shows more clearly the great value
of adequate medical inspection. Much more has been done
in this work this year than last and the Beard hopes that
facilities for still broader work in the future can be offered.
It would be of incalculable benefit to the men and women of
tomorrow if communities could be brought to accept the
Proved conclusions of medical authorities on such subjects as
the age at which children should enter school, the length of
the school day, proper seating, suitable exercise and other
factors which go so far to make or mar the lives of the child-
ren as men and women.
RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.
More than one-third of the teachers with whom the schools
opened in January resigned during the year. Among the
principals resigning, the scholarly ability of Mr. Michels,
the earnestness and faithfulness of Mr. Perrin and the entbu-
siasm and effectiveness of Mr. Gould deserve mention. Mr.
Chas.L. Gifford resigned as principal of the Elizabeth Lowell
High School, after a year of hard and effective work. Miss
G. M. Simons, as instructor in the commercial department
of the high school in Hyannis, gave abundant evidence of
enthusiasm and ability in her four years of arduous effort to
build up a strong course in that department. The uniformly
133
excellent work of Miss Peters resulted in a call to a much
more attractive position,as was also the case with Miss Alice
P. Paine. Of the teachers retiring, Miss Annie H. Chad-
wick had given the longest service to the town, her work in
a difficult position having been marked by rare thoroughness
and comprehensiveness. Miss Sarah S. Ford, whose service
was next in length to that of Miss Chadwick,showed unusual
natural aptitude in dealing 'with young children, and the
scholarly training of Miss Gregg was evident in the quality
of her work. The Cotuit Grammar School suffered a severe
loss in the inability of Mrs. Hall to return in the fall. No
other school in the town has shown greater improvement in
the last three years, teacher, parents and pupils having
worked together to that end. Miss Ethel Horsman, super-
visor of music, after two years of energetic and effective
work, resigned to accept a less difficult position at a salary
nearly double that paid by us.
The following appointments were made to fill the vacancies
caused by the above resignations
Barnstable Grammar, Gen. F. Hopkins; West Barnstable
Grammar, R. B. Houghton, Intermediate, Susie M. Merritt;
Elizabeth Lowell High, LeRoy M. Handy, principal, Flor-
ence L.Flewelling,assistant; Cotuit Grammar,A. M.Bruce,
B. G. Nason, Helen L. Colby (substitutes), Harry L. Edge-
comb; Santuit, Lucy H. Ryder, assistant; Osterville Gram-
mar, Chas.L. Gifford; Training School, Grace V. Rowland,
Carrie B: Dean, Mabel K. Baker; Commercial Instructor,
Florence T. Davis; Supervisor of Music, S. Gertrude Tighe.
ENROLMENT, ATTENDANCE, ETC.
Enrolment, membership and attendance showed a slight
increase over last year, itself a record year. The school cen-
sus of 1910 showed a considerable increase of children of
�34
school aae in town and this should be reflected in the enrol-
ment next year. Attendance for the school year was hood,
allowance Being made for the several outbreaks of contabi-
ousodiseases. Cases of truaneyor of serious insubordination
have been few and nearly all the teachers report helpful co-
operation by the parents.
SCHOOL FINANCES.
The increasing; expenditures of the school department and
the proportion of such expenditures to the total expenditures
of the town justify a demand that the annual report shall
deal as fully and clearly as possible with this problem,to the
end that the sources of expense be clearly understood and
that any additions to the appropriations be made in the di-
rections most needed. A summary of the appropriations
and expenditures of the past fiscal year follows:
SUMMARY OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
Total Available Balance
Appropriations Expenditures or Deficiency
School Purposes, $23,909 36 $23,526 29 +$383 07
Test-books, supplies, 1,450 00 1,448 77 +1 23
Repairs, 2,000 00 3,155 15 —1,155 15
Transportation, 4,200 00 4,606 25 —406 25
$31,559 36 $32,736 46 —$1,177 10
ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES.
An examination of the above summary shows a balance
remaining from School Purposes of $383.07. Several coal
bills under this account, however, were not presented in
time for.payment. Had these been paid the expenditures
would have about equalled the appropriations.
135
The expenditures for Text-books and Supplies were kept
within the appropriation by the usual means.
The expenditures under the head of Transportation show
a considerable increase, due to the greater compensation de-
manded by the contractors, the larger number of railroad
tickets purchased and the employment of a barge in the
Santuit district.
The cost of installing the new heating and ventilating sys-
tem at the Barnstable school proved greater than anticipated
and an unforeseen expense was incurred in rebuilding the
sheds and outbuildings destroyed by fire at Centerville.
Other important items of expense under the head of Repairs
were shingling the roof of the grammar school building at
Cotuit and a new floor and new furniture for the intermedi-
ate school, and a fitted chemistry table and additional seat-
ing capacity for the high school at Hyannis. These, to-
gether with an unusually large number of minor repairs,
bring the total to the amount indicated.
Among the increases in salaries taking place at various
times during the year or at the bebinning of 1911, which the
Board felt obliged to make were the following: Janitor of
the Training School and the Barnstable High School, $100,
making annual salary $800; smaller increases for other
Janitors;. maximum salaries of grammar school principals
raised to $765, the minimum remaining at $585 ; principal
of the Barnstable High School $100, making annual salary
$1,500; assistants in high schools, $50, making annual sal-
aries $600 maximum, minimum remaining at $500.
The salaries of our grade teachers remain at$495 per year
for the maximum and $405 for the minimum. The maximum
salary of grade teachers in the city of Boston, having no
more difficult Nvork, to say the least, is $936.
Estimates for 1911 will be approximately as follows
School Purposes, teachers and janitors at present salaries,
ti
/ 136
and allowing $2,000 for fuel and $300_ for miscellaneous
items will need not less than $500 more than the suh) appto-
priated therefor last year; Transportation, not less than
$300 more than the sum appropriated therefor last year;
Books and Supplies, $150 more than the sum appropriated
therefor last year; Repairs, probably the same sum as voted
last year. . Owing to possible salary changes and the variable
income from tuition and the dog tax it is impossible to esti-:
mate more closely than within three or four hundred dollars
for School Purposes.
TOWN, COUNTY AND COMMONWEALTH.
In the tax for school purposes per thousand dollars of val-
uation, the real test of the school burden assumed by a town,
Barnstable, out of 354 towns in the state, stands one hun-
dred ninetieth, 189 towns taxing themselves more heavily,
among them Bourne at $7.70 per thousand, Provineetown
$6.46, Orleans $5.87, Harwich $5.45; Dennis $5.37, Brew-
ster$5.27. Barnstable taxes itself$5.00 per thousand. The
little town of West Boylston ranks highest, with a tax of
$9.64 per thousand. Barnstable spent per pupil last year
for text-books and supplies $1.75. Figures from other
towns for 1910 are not available, but according 'to the state
report for 1909, the several towns in Barnstable county
named below expended per pupil for books and supplies the
amounts indicated: Sandwich $3.28, Mashpee $2.59, Yar-
mouth $2.54, Orleans $2.39, Falmouth $2.37, Bourne $2.03,
Brewster $1.86, Eastham $1.80, Harwich $1.76.
THE SITUATION TO BE FACED.
Among the important factors which necessarily call for
heavy expenditures are the following:
137
1. Heavy expenses for transportation, clue to the immense
territory covered by the town.
2. The maintenance of two high schools, with the conse-
quent duplication of teachers and supplies.
3. The comparatively large number of men principals; re-
quired by our many scattered school buildings.
There appears to be no remedy in the first cage, since the
establishment of a trolley line would be the only means of
materially reducing such.expenses. Could one-half the sum
now expended on transportation be devoted to obtaining and
retaining competent teachers the gain would be incalculable.
In the second case not only must the two plants be re-
tained, but the expenditures will have to be increased, es-
pecially if the smaller of the two schools is to offer advant-'
ages equal to those, of the larder, and the work of each
school is to be developed in the directions demanded by the
life of today.
Number three introduces a question serious enough to call
for the most car.-ful consideration. Undoubtedly a.financial
saving of a few hundred dollars could be made by the em-
ployment of women instead of men principals, and for less
compensation at least equal technical ability could be secured.
To anyone, however, who looks upon the work of the teacher
in any but the narrowest way the question involves much
more than technical ability. Few who have studied the mat-
ter impartially would deny that the boy who fails to come in
contact with a man as teacher during his school career is
likely to miss much of high value as to his viewpoint and
attitude toward life.
To develop in the best way the bodies, minds and souls of
thirty or forty children would seem to call f'or energy, skill,
ability and wisdom not less than that displayed by the skilled
craftsman, yet we offer for the most difficult of all tasks a
wage return inferior to that received by the skilled worker
138
in wood, iron and lead. In spite of the generous increase
made by this town, we are still paying our grammar school
principals less than one half the salaries offered by larger
towns for work not more difficult than that we demand. In
this connection the following curious argument has been
made by some not having children in the schools, namely,
that no salaries we could afford to offer would be large
enough to retain superior teachers, therefore it is useless to
make any advance; in other words, since we can hope to re-
tain superior teachers only a short time anyway, let us be
content with poor ones ! This may be the logic of the
dollar, it certainly is not the logic of moral obligation. The
question of retaining fairly competent men as principals of
our grammar schools is squarely before us; it must' be
answered at once, and can,be answered only by the parents
as citizens and voters.
The constantly increasing value of supervision in drawing
and music is so fully appreciated that any lessening of effort
in this direction would not be tolerated. The help given by
our part-time assistants is of much greater value than is
measured by the financial outlay, and regard for the children
dictates the retention of such assistants.
Since the expenditures for books and supplies for the year
formed but 4j per cent. of the total school expenditures, and
were insufficient properly to meet the needs of the schools,
it is evident that no decrease is possible in this direction, es-
pecially if the number of pupils enrolled in the schools con-
tinues to increase.
The liberal policy of the town in the care of its school
buildings is worthy of high commendation. I know of few
towns where a more consistent and efficient policy as regards
their care and improvement is exercised by a School Board.
I believe'it is a policy thoroughly approved by the towns-
people.
139
The extreme difficulty in securing teachers and the gen-
eral upward tendency of salaries make any material decrease
of expenditure in that direction improbable. It is certain
that any reduction in salaries is entirely out of the question.
The number of vacancies occurring during the year made it
necessary for the superintendent to spend a large amount of
time in efforts, often fruitless, to find candidates of satisfac-
tory training and experience. The task was an exceedingly
discouraging one. Only by the expenditure of much time
and by good fortune combined is it 'possible to secure even
fairly equipped candidates for the positions we have to offer,
and only in rare instances can we retain even these. Really
successful teaching in a rural school, teaching which gives
the pupil a training equal as a whole to that given in a good
city school, requires snore than average ability in the teacher.
Our children lack the opportunity of obtaining that valuable
out-of-school education which comes by contact with a highly
organized social and commercial life ; all the more, there-
fore, do they need a highly egicient school,and home training.
The mental ability and moral fibre of the country child is
certainly not inferior to that of his city brother. With
really equal school and home training he would have an
equal opportunity of becoming all he should become as a
good citizen. The question goes back again to the funda-
mental requisite, the community determined to secure, at
any reasonable cost, good teachers, and such teachers
secured, giving them its hearty support.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS.
GENERAL rROGRESS.
As compared with last year some advance may be noted
in a few lines of work. In the important subjects in which
the results were mentioned as unsatisfactory last year but
140
little radical improvement has taken place or is likely to
take place until the teachers themselves receive better train-
ing, and an aroused public sentiment demands better work.
PENMANSHIP.
Penmanship in the schools has improved in legibility and
neatness, but speed has notyet been obtained. Pressure of
many subjects tends to prevent the constant daily practice
in every grade to and through the high school,which is the
necessary condition of securing practical penmanship.
ARITHMETIC.
Most of our teachers are giving the new course in arith-
metic a faithful trial, but results thus far differ widely in
different schools.
HISTORY.
With considerable modification the history work of the
elementary schools is being conducted along the lines re
commended by the American Historical .Association. In
this subject, as in the related one of civil government, the
inadequate training, limited experience and sometimes con-
tracted sympathies of some of the instructors render much
of the work far from ideal.
GEOGRAPHY.
Rich as the subject of geography seems to be in material
that should interest, inform and inspire, it is the testimony
of a majority of teachers that the results obtained, as com-
pared with the efforts put forth, are nearly always disap-
pointing. It is probable that with the gradual development
of improved courses of study in this subject better results
will be secured.
141
READING.
Perhaps in no other subject do the schools of the present
compare more favorably with those of the past than in read-
ing. In every grade of the elementary schools one finds far
more reading and far better reading, with better material
than ever before. The children, .even the seemingly dull
and vicious ones, are found to respond to the appeal of the
best literature wisely chosen and the beginning of a real
love of good reading appears. Were such a love always
further developed in the high schools much would be ac-
complished toward the building up of well-disposed citizens.
Oral reading in the higher grammar,and the high school '
grades leaves much to be desired, time limitations hindering
the securing of better results. Yet it is possible to overrate
the value of oral as compared with silent reading. The pre-
tentious "Rhetoricals" of the old district school are still de=
fended by some. Who cannot recall the pride of the parents
of the freq&ntly unwilling and perspiring victim as he suc-
cessfully thundered forth his lines, and the approving smile
of the teacher as he listened to the applause? No one seem-
ed to inquire whether the speaker had any comprehension of
the ideas which his words were supposed to express or
whether he had formed the habit of reading with the aim of
apprehending thoughts rather than recognizing and calling
words. To make reading for thougbt the natural aim, to
develop the love of good reading, to establish the habit of
reading—these are the aims sought- by the wise teacher.
"We teach a child to read," says Charles W. Eliot, "not
primarily to enable him to decipher a way bill or a receipt,
but to kindle his imagination, enlarge his vision and open
for him the avenues of knowledge.'
ENGLISH.
The English work in the elementary schools shows steady
142
though slow improvement, but high school teachers still
complain of the alleged lack of knowledge of the fundamen-
tals of grammar shown by the entering classes.
Revised courses of study in English and geography have
been under preparation for some time; their completion will
await the outlines for rural schools now being formulated by
the State Board, in co-operation with teachers and superin-
tendents.
PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Some twenty or more different books on the subject of
physiology and hygiene were examined with some care.
From among the best of these, submitted to medical experts
for examination, a series was selected and placed in the
schools in the hope of more effective teaching of this im-
portant subject in the future. There is no other subject, how-
ever, except moral training, in which the active co-operation
of the home is so absolutely essential for the best results.
Acting under medical advice, the use of the common
drinking-cup was prohibited in our schools some months be-
fore such a law was enacted by the state. The feather
duster and the common towel have also been done away with
and teachers are required to record four times daily the
temperature of their respective rooms. The policy of the
town in placing, as rapidly as possible, modern sanitary Sys-
tems in its school buildings, deserves commendation.
NATURE STUDY.
The work in nature study has been done, mostly in
"morning exercises." In spite of the well meant attempts,
it has been on the whole of a fragmentary and unsatisfactory
character, and is likely to remain so until teachers them-
selves receive a more rational training. It is related that a
class of some thirty teachers in a summer school, being
143
asked to make certain of the number of legs possessed by
the common house-fly, immediately began to look up ency-
clopedias, dictionaries and "nature books" for, the answer.
Not one of thegn looked for afly, though flies were all about
them, "even on them," as the instructor afterwards re-
marked. The question itself may have had little signifi-
cance, the method of obtaining the answer had much. It
was significant of an entire misconception of the true method
of the study of nature, a misconception born of wrong scnool
training. It is due to- such wrong training .that the most
popular school book on nature study is the one filled with
beautiful half-tones of,plants, animals and phenomena which
could easily be seen in themselves, and not the book which
by wise questioning leads to a direct observation of nature
itself. The lessons learned, even from very simple .nature
study rightly conducted, tend directly to the development of
intellectual honesty and to the furtherance of individual and
social well being. In this, and in the closely correlated
subject of hygiene, only constant effort will bring about bet-
ter results.
HAND TRAINING.
Former reports have dwelt rather fully upon the need of
hand work accompanying brain work, for the best results in
the latter, and for the good of the child as a whole. The
need still stands and we have done but little, except in draw-
ing, to supply it. Of such hand training, Supt. H. D.
Hervey says, "The manual training of the future, however,
will not be a subject strongly differentiated from what is now
known as `regular work.' It will be, on the contrary, a vital
and vitalizing part of every kind of school activity. It will
be made the handmaiden of every subject and so dovetailed
and interrelated that the old distinction between headwork
and handwork will utterly disappear. There can be no in-
telligent handwork which does not involve real thinking of
144
the most valuable kind, though to the initiated it is all too
well known that there may be, and too often is, a vast deal
of lesson reciting in so called regular work when there is no
real thinking whatever.
Before manual work of the true type can be given its
rightful place in the schools, the general public must cease
its idolatrous worship of the book. It must realize more
keenly than it does at present that the race has advanced in-
tellectually far more by doing things and thinking things out
at first hand than by reading from the printed page of the
deeds and thoughts of others. It must cease to exalt the
glib reciter of empty words above the thoughtful, though
perhaps less fluent, doer. It must learn that it is not so
much the amount of time that a boy spends on a subject that
counts as it is the motive which actuates him in his study,
as it is the closeness of the connection between the subject
and the present interest, the real life of the pupil."
Certain schools in New York so arrange their pro-rain
that the boys give three hours in the morning to straight
school work and the afternoon to hand work, either in reg-
ular shops or in manual training schools. Can it be without
significance, that in every such school, it has been found at
the end of the year that the boys in the half-time school
have done intellectual work equal, in quantity and quality,
to that of the boys in the all-day schools, and in addition
have received invaluable will and muscle-training? Our
boys in the town of Barnstable need some such training, in
a simple way, but to give it in even such a way means effort,
time, some expense, some mistakes, and, above all, public
appreciation of the need and desire to supply it.
TRAINING SCHOOL.
The Training School, carrying on the unique lines of effort
for which it has become noted, has been co-operating cordi-
145
ally and effectively in the effort to improve the teaching in
physiology and hygiene in our schools. This matter is
dealt with in an interesting manner in the report of Mr. W.
A. Baldwin on the school, which may be found elsewhere.
THE HIGH SCHOOLS.
Some changes have been made in the science work of the
high schools the past year. The work in chemistry and
physics has been conducted with greater emphasis upon the
industrial and economic aspects of these subjects. Mr.Boody
has taken his freshman class once a week in practical work
in elementary physics, the pupils showing a sustained in-
terest throughout.
Proposed changes looking toward the modification of the
first year's course have been approved by the School Board.
These call for the extension of the English grammar work of
the ninth grade and its application to social and business
correspondence; the substitution of English history in place
of ancient history for those not taking Latin ; elimination of
the more tedhnical portions of rhetoric and the substitution
therefor of readings from modern authors, and substituting
in one of the three terms formerly given to elementary alge-
bra, business arithmetic. Modifications of the work for the
three other years are being considered. Among- the more
important of these are the substitution of four years' work
in either French or German in place of two years' work in
each.
The suggestion of a course, as proposed by Principal
Boody, in which no foreign language should be included,
may seem radical, but such courses have been for years in
successful operation,and it is not apparent that the graduates
from such courses fill their places in the world, both as indi-
viduals and as citizens,,any less successfully than the grad-
uates from the conventional courses.
146
The high standard of the commercial course is being fully
maintained under its new instructor and its classes are the
largest yet enrolled. The "snap-seekers" fight shy of this
course and the intention is to make the requirements still
more rigid.
The problem of the course of study of the Elizabeth Low-
ell-school, if considered from the point of view of the real
needs'of most of its pupils, is a vexing one. It is impossible
for two teachers to do much more than fill the legal require-
ments as to the subjects which must be taught to enable it
to be accepted as a high school. A business course, or any
essential modification of the present course along practical
lines, is impossible without the employment of an additional
teacher. The situation is unique and is the direct result of
our unfortunate extent of territory. No other town in the
State, of approximately our population, attempts to run two
fully-equipped high schools. The successful solution of the
task is bound to be a difficult and expensive one.
COATING CHANGES.
Radical changes in the curricula of high schools are bound
to come, however strongly they may be opposed by natural-
ly conservative schoolmen. The school is a social institu-
tion, founded by society for its own protection and better
development, and the course of study should be made up
from life's real problems and needs, to the end that those
problems and needs shall be met in the best possible way.
A course providing a chiefly ornamental culture for a few,
at the expense of an efficient training for the many, has no
right to the first place in a public high school. Fears are
expressed that the changes imminent in our high school
courses will limit the cultural opportunities of the school.
But true culture is many-sided and comes' through many
avenues, and one of the most valuable of these lies in learn-
147
ing to do willingly and well,instead of unwillingly and poor-
ly, the ordinary duties of every-clay life, and the curriculum,
not of the high school only, but of the elementary schools
as well, should be such as to stimulate such willingness and
promote such ability.
Some conservative scboolmen express the fear that the s6-
called vocational movement will result in lessening the cul-
tural opportunities of the school and narrowing the outlook
of its graduates. This may prove true if all that relates to
vocational training is postponed to the latter part of the
school course ,and then sharply separated from all other
school wort:. If, however, we include in cultural opportu-
nities, not merely those which may result in literary attain-
ments, but those tending to fit one to perform efficiently and
gladly the homely but necessary duties of every-day citizen-
ship, and if we adapt a portion of the curriculum during the
entire school course to ultimate vocational ends, then the
r vocational movement will result in giving us an even better-
balanced citizen than has the more academic training of the
past.
The high school at Hyannis has a curriculum already in
part vocational, and has unusual opportunities, for a rural
school, for further development in that direction. That such
development should be managed always wiselywould be too
much to expect. But to cling to old methods and programs
because they are customary, because they are easy and be-
cause they are cheap, would be to fail in our plainest duty,
that of preparing as completely as possible our young people
to live efficient and well-rounded lives, in a society rapidly
growing more complex and calling constantly for more and
more highly-organized abilities in its members.
Ili the welter of conflicting opinions, in the rapid changes
certain to take place in our school programs, we may feel
sure of being on solid ground if we insist that, no matter
148
what subjects be taught, they be taught thoroughly, that
they be so taught as to lead the pupil into habits of contin-
uous useful industry, that they be so taught as to develop
in the pupil the will and ability to make himself do the
thing he ought to do, when he ought to do it, whether he
likes to do it or not.
IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE BARNSTABLE SCHOOLS.
Perhaps it may not be out of place to repeat here the
more immediate needs of the schools as listed in last year's
report, though some advance has been made in several of
the matters mentioned:
Economy of time by closer attention to the essentials of
the fundamental studies of the common schools and the eli-
mination of antique processes and useless subjects.
More effective teaching-of a2ypliel hygiene.
A reasonable amount and kind of simple hand training.
History and civil government taught with more direct ref-
erence to life.
Radical revision of the course of study for the first year
of the high school.
A larger relative amount of time given to science in the
high school.
Utilization of the Barnstable high school grounds for or-
namental,agricultural and athletic purposes, in line with the
most progressive schools.
Maintenance of a high standing in the high school by
stricter entrance requirements and by requiring the total
amount of work in any course to be equal in difficulty and
time required to that in the college preparatory course.
Continued co-operation with the teachers by the parents
in helping the young people toward better and more useful
living.
149
PUBLIC SPIRIT.
The public spirit of the citizens of the town has been
shown in several gratifying ways during the year. In
Centerville, citizens contributed gymnastic apparatus and a
fine flagpole to the school. From the Whelden family,.
carrying out a wish expressed by Martha Lee Whelden be-
fore her death, one thousand dollars was placed in the
hands of the School Board, to be used for the benefit of the
school children of the town of Barnstable. For more than
a generation Martha Lee Whelden, first as a teacher and
later as a member of the School Committee, gave with loyal
devotion her strength and talents to furthering the education
of the children of Barnstable, and her memory is held in
reverence to-day by hundreds of her former pupils.
Contributions have been received from many of the older
residents of the town toward a tablet soon to be placed in
the Barnstable High School, in memory of Theodore F.Bas-
set, a noted and able teacher of a generation ago.
It would be but fitting and just to express here also the
appreciation of the School Board for the .generous response
of the citizens of the town to the request for larger appro-
priations which the increasing development of the schools
has rendered necessary.
REPORTS OF SUPERVISORS AND PRINCIPALS.
Attention is called to the interesting and instructive re-
ports of the several principals and supervisors. The super-
intendent feels that he can say with truth, both of the above
instructors and of the regular teachers, that, however much
their success has varied, their work at least has been in ev-
ery case thoroughly faithful. With faithful teachers, re-
B--u
15b
teiving from parents the co-operation that has been so freely
given them the past year, much can be accomplished, even
in the complex and difficult task of public school education.

REPORT OF THE MEDICAL INSPECTOR
To the HONORABLE SCHOOL BOARD of Barnstable :
Gentlemen:-1 have the honor to submit herewith my re-
port as School Physician for the Town of Barnstable.
The inspection of the schools during the past year has
followed quite generally that of previous years, but along
more ample lines, made possible by the more adequate appro-
priation of last March. Each of the schools of the Town is ,
now being carefully inspected at least once during each
school term, more careful attention being given to the pres-
ence of diseased conditions among the pupils. This atten-
tion is not necessarily confined to contagious diseases alone,
but also to those having only an individual influence on the
child affected, as tending to impair his or her ability to study.
For example, six children in one school-room, and three in
anoth,r, were found to have adenoid growths to such an ex-
tent as to interfere with their proper breathing. All such
cases have been referred to the parents or the family physi-
cian for treatment,which has materially improved the ability
of these children to do their school work satisfactorily. Par-
rents are also notified of the presence of badly-decayed teeth,
and of any other condition or influence which in the opinion
of the School Physician or the experience of the teachers, is
detrimental to the best interests of the child.
The use of the common towel and the common drinking-
cup, the latter being forbidden by law since last year, have
been systematically discouraged, in accordance with the in-
structions given teachers by your Superintendent of Schools.
Frequent examination, of the drinking-water has also
been of advantage in restricting the use of foul or brackish
water, which was unfit for drinking.
The work of the janitors and barge-drivers is also more
closely inspected, and recommendations for the improvement
of this service made as occasion requires. _. .
152
Ootuit and Santuit have been visited by a very mild attack
of scarlet fever during the Christmas vacation, snaking it
advisable to close these schools for the past two weeks.
Aside from this, no dangerous contagion has appeared in
the schools of the Town.
It has been the privilege of the School Physician'to visit
several schools in other parts of the State, in company with
their School Physicians. The cities and factory towns, hav-
ing a large floating population, largely foreign-born and
bred, present problems unknown to us, calling for more
frequent inspection, and the assistance of District nurses to
supplement the physicians' work, and to demonstrate to the
parents many hygienic,needs which would otherwise be
neglected.
One of the principal advantages of these out-of-town in-
spections is in the opportunity given for making compari-
sons. These comparisons clearly indicate that our town is
well in the van of progress, in some ways superior to any of
the cities and many of the other towns, in the care it takes of
our growing children, wisely endeavoring to preserve their
mental and moral integrity, and at the same time insure their
physical well-being, so far as any non-parental influence can.
I would respectfully urge that the town take no backward
steps in furthering the work of its educators, whether their
efforts be directed toward the intellectual, the moral, or the
physical aspects of education.
Respectfully submitted,
J. HAYDN HIGGINS, M.D.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE BARN-
STABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
In my last report I recommended the formation of an
athletic association.
It gives me pleasure to report that such an association has,
been formed.
This association comprises all the members of the school.
The affairs of this association are to be administered by an
Executive Board composed of the Superintendent of Schools,
the Local Member of the School Board, the Principal, and
four members of the School, one from each class.
By dime subscriptions a fund has been established that will
aid us in our efforts to put athletics on a sound basis.
The formation of the new baseball league, and the fact that
there is now something worth working for should arouse a
more healthful interest in athletics.
PHYSICS
Beginning with September, I have had the first-year class
one period a week in Elementary Physics. I had two motives
in doing this; the first that I might come into a more per-
sonal relation to the members of the entering class; the
second that I might arouse in them the eagerness-to-know-
more. which comes to so many with the study of a science.
The Metric System, Temperature, Magnetism, and Electri-
,city, have been studied, and by the demand that has been
made upon me for Physics textbooks, I feel assured that the
experiment has been a success.
In our work in the laboratory, we find great difficulty in
154
keeping things in good order owing to the lack of suitable
cabinets in which to place the apparatus.
At present there is but one cabinet, an old book-closet,
but between that and the door opening into the Drawing
room there is space which could be utilized for other cabinets
or shelves.
GRADUATES
In September, one of our graduates entered the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College, one, St. Anselm's College, one,
Pratt Institute, one, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, one,
Baltimore School of Law, and four, the Hyannis State Nor-
mal School.
In June, one received a degree from Boston University,
and two from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Two received diplomas from Pratt Institute, and three from
the Hyannis State Normal School.
The illustrations in this year's Index, the junior publica-
tion of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, are the work
of Edward H. Bodfish of.the Class of.1908.
PROMOTIONS
For a number of years it has been the custom to allow
pupils whose work in one or two subjects has failed to reach
the standard required for promotion to pass on with their
class "conditioned," as we say, in these subjects.
Thus pupils pass on handicapped by their lack of prepara-
tion; they are obliged to make up the work of the previous
year in addition to attending to the regular work. The end
of the year finds them "conditioned" in one or two other
subjects and they take up the next year's work still handi-
capped.
In the senior year they face a difficult problem, that of
making up all back work and of bringing all of the senior
work to a successful completion.
155
Their parents fail to see why their boys and girls, after
reaching this last year of school life, should find it so hard a
task to earn their diplomas.
The pupils, having been allowed to pass on from year to
year, with conditions hanging over them, think that some-
thing will be done for them whereby the desired diplomas
may be obtained. They are loath to understand that the
time has come for a balancing of accounts.
I believe that this custom is fundamentally a wrong one,
that by it pupils gain a false conception of the required
standard, that they acquire poor habits of thought, that it is
not a good preparation for the tasks of life, and that the
pupils themselves realize this.
Is it not, then, time that this custom be done away with, a
custom which I have no authority to change? Will you not
grant me this authority?
May we not refuse to promote to a higher grade those who
are really not prepared to go on? Why should we allow the
boy who has not completed the work of the first year to un-
dertake the work of the second?
I have found by experience that the pupil who has been
obliged to repeat the studies of any year, takes up his work
in the future with a new spirit and with an altogether differ-
ent conception of what such work means. He finds the
teacher a helper instead of a taskmaster, and comes to learn
that there is pleasure in work well done.
In the foregoing, I have considered only those pupils who
through lack of study have not done good work.
The others, those who because of illness or mental in-
capacity have fallen behind may be considered as special
cases and dealt with as such by superintendent and princi-
pal.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS A\ . BOOAY.

REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR
To MR. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools:
The conditions that I have met in the Barnstable High
School thus far are favorable to the ultimate development
of the ideal Commercial Course, which, of course, is what we
desire.
Commercial. education concerns in a vital way a greater
number of persons than all other educational matters taken
together. Most men live ordinary lives and earn their living
in ordinary industries; their training, then, should be first
and chiefly that which will help them to know the things of
every day and to do well the common work before them.
The ideal Commercial Course, then, must be one that gives
as broad a commercial education as may be, and a thorough,
practical commercial training. A course that will be both
cultural and vocational; embracing in its cultural aspect
four ,years' work in English and two of a foreign language,
and the Science of Commerce as dealing with commercial
products,the things men need and make and use, the ways
they carry them about the world, the methods by which they
sell them, and the fight for foreign and domestic markets for
our manufactured goods, taught under the various heads of
Commercial Geography, History of Commerce, Economics,
Commercial Law, and Transportation; the aim of the voca-
tional. side to give a, good working knowledge of bookkeep-
ing, stenography and typewriting, so that at the completion
of his course, whether it be graduation from B. H. S. or a
higher institution of commercial education, the student may
take his place among the world's workers with a definite
knowledge of what he wants to do and how to do it.
While the extension of our present course to embrace all
the foregoing studies must be a'matter of an addition to the
teaching force, the matter of giving good, practical training
with the facilities we have is a matter of here and now. And
160
in this connection I would mention two immediate needs;
the need of more time for stenography and typewriting, and
the need of more room for the bookkeeping class, which is so
large that in several instances two pupils must share a desk,
and good mechanical work in bookkeeping is impossible with-
out plenty of elbow room.
Bosh of these needs could be met, for a time at least, by
dividing the commercial room by a partition,largely of glass,
and so constructed that the two parts of the room could be
thrown together upon occasion. This would provide for
practice periods for the typewriting pupils in addition to in-
struction periods, and at such practice periods a class could
be in progress in the other part of,the room, the glass parti-
tion allowing the teacher an oversight of both parts of the
room. The removal of the large typewriter desks into the
smaller compass of one division would give room for the in-
stallation of a sufficient number of ordinary desks or other
equipment for the bookkeeping class. •
In my work in the school the students have, for the most
part, co-operated heartily with me to the best of their ability;
and particularly in the upper classes I have met with a will-
ing response to all requirements and an earnest desire to get
the best results possible from the work. Such conditions
must make for good quality of work.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE T. DAVIS.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE ELIZABETH
LOWELI, HIGH SCHOOI,
To the Superintendent:
When school commenced last September, twenty-eight
pupils were upon our rolls. Later the number was increased
to thirty-five; now there are thirty-three regular members of
the High School.
We have two courses of study: namely, "The Classical"
and "Scientific." Th- Classical course requires the study of
Latin for four years and prepares in a more general way for
college than does the Scientific course. The Scientific course
is supposed to be the more practical, including Physics,
Chemistry, and Modern Languages. In a small school with
a small teaching force it is rather a difficult problem to know
just what is best for the pupils, but our curriculum is suffi-
ciently varied and comprehensive to be of benefit. If the
High School pupil does not like all the studies he takes, but
gets interested in one, so that he wishes to know more about
that study, the High School is doing all that we can hope.
Although the drawing and music teachers have separate
reports of their work, we wish to say a few words in appre-
ciation of their efforts. Several of the pupils are doing ex-
cellent work, and are interested in drawing, especially
mechanical drawing, which is surely a very practical study.
As to Music, we have a class in Harmony, which very few
city schools have, not to mention country schools. We
doubt whether the advantage of such a class is fully appre-
ciated by the pupils, but it surely is a very practical, helpful.,
and useful study.
The recent term examination awoke some of the pupils to
a realization of the fact that they needed to do some school
work.
In order to do good school work it is quite necessary for
162
the pupils to be present at school, not half the time, but all
the time when not really ill. So far the school has seemed
to be a "fair-weather" school,—requiring only a slight
storm to keep some pupils away. We can not teach pupils
when they are not at school. We believe in progressing and
it will. be our aim to keep to a definitely high standard.
We have had a number of visits from friends and parents
of the pupils. We welcome those visits and request the
parents especially to come to see the work that we are doing.
While the pupils have some time to study in the school room,
yet the pupil of average intelligence needs to study at home.
After the pupil has left the school building in the afternoon
sometimes he or she forgets about the school work for the
morrow. We wish to kindly suggest to the parents that they
may help their children by urging and influencing them to
study at home. Home study is necessary. If faithful
systematic study is pursued every day by the pupils, good re-
sults are sure to follow.
Much of the work accomplished during the year is due to
the faithful interest of our assistant. We also wish to say
that our building has been well cared for during the past
school year.
Respectfully submitted,
LeROY. M. HANDY.

REPORT ON THE TRAINING SCHOOL
To MR. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools :
I accept the opportunity which your invitation offers to
discuss some phases of the work of the Training School.
This work is being continued along lines similar to those
which it has been following for several years. We believe
that the movement is, on the whole, a forward one.
It is interesting to note that Dr. Snedden, the new Com-
missioner of Education, is advocating for the schools of the
State work along similar lines. We live in an age of read-
justment. In all branches of human activity modifications
are continually being made and it would be strange indeed
if education did not have a share in such modifications.
Readjustments and modifications do not, however, always
mean improvement. Some mistakes are sure to be made.
We need, therefore, to proceed slowly and thoughtfully,
ready always to accept as well as to give suggestions.
In the spirit of the above the present report is presented.
I have for years believed that the best work of the school
can only be done as it supplements and co-operates with the
home. One of the underlying principles of the new education
is the unity of the child's life. The child is not to live one
life in school, another at home and a different one still on
the street among his fellows.
If a child is required to use good English in the school but is
allowed to be careless of his speech at.home and if, among
his companions on the street, he learns and practices the
street dialect, then it is easy to see that so far as English
is concerned his life is divided into three parts, each at war
against the others. This is a common and unfortunate con-
dition of many of the children in the public schools. Nor is
it hard to prophesy what will be the result. Unless some
high purpose emanating from home or school gets possession
of the child to make him realize the importance of the use of
167
good English he will eventually go the easier and more con-
genial way of the street.
Is it not clear that in order to bring about the unity of
life which modern education suggests, the school and home
must work together? This need of co-operation between'the
school and the home is well illustrated in connection with a
subject which has recently come into our school and which is
receiving increasing attention from all thoughtful people.
This subject is a complex one and has to do with the physical
well being of the child. It includes physical training and
hygiene and has to do with all of the physical activities of
the child in school, at home, and on the street, or in the
fields. A brief discussion of this subject may help to show
how the Training School is trying to do its part in develop-
ing the child on the physical side. It may also serve as an
illustration of our method of work and of our desire to be
suggestive, helpful and co-operative in all that has to do
with the well being of the children of the Training School.
Ventilation. The Town has furnished us with a modern
building with a gravity system of ventilation which works
fairly well if properly adjusted and watched. When, how-
ever, each room contains from thirty to forty human beings,
it is impossible, with any system of ventilation, to keep the
air pure, and constant care is needed on the part of teachers
and janitor. Since the air cannot be kept as pure as is de-
sirable, teachers are advised, as often as is possible, to throw
open the windows and give brief physical exercises. or to
take the children out for exercise in the open air. Children
are also encouraged to be out-of-doors as much as possible
outside of school hours and to sleep with open windows at-
home.
Recesses. At about the middle of both forenoon and after-
noon the children are allowed to have a recess for free play
on the school grounds. The children on the lower floor have
their recess just before those of the upper floor so that not
so many children will be on the playground together, and
168
so that the older children will not interfere with those of the
primary grades. Teachers are always about the school
grounds to encourage timid children and -sluggish children
to join in the plays and to prevent too much boisterousness
on the part of rough children.
In the lower grades the children are given frequent rest
periods of from one to three minutes when they run about
the room, sing songs or do something which is physically
and mentally relaxing, and which therefore enables them to
go on more vigorously with their school work.
Industrial Work. It may be well here to mention the plan
of breaking up the regular school routine, especially in
-spring and autumn, by various forms of industrial work such
as school garden work, cooking and bed-making. Those all
serve as forms of relaxation much more valuable than is gen-
erally supposed. Their value in making real the training
along intellectual and moral lines has been often presented.
Modern education is teaching us that unity in development
means the tying together of the mental, the moral and the
physical activities of the child.
Gymnastics. The gymnastics form but a small part ofAhe
physical training work and serve mainly as corrective exer-
cises. A modified Swedish system is the one in use, and about
ten minutes a day is devoted to the exercises. It helps to
give the children correct ideas as to sitting and standing posi-
tions, and so to form a basis for the correction of some bad
habits which have already been formed. The latest form of
gymnastics which we have introduced consists of what is
called rhythm work.
Rhythmic Exercises. The children of the primary grades
are taken to the gymnasium twice a week for so-called
rhythmic exercises. The purpose of these exercises is.to help
the children to get control of their bodies so that they may
move about easily, gracefully and with some confidence and
to quicken both their intelligence and their emotions, thus
helping toward that harmony of mind and body which seems
so desirable.
169
Medical Inspection. The sight and hearing of the children
are tested every year. Investigations in many places have
shown that children often make slow progress at school, not
because they lack in mental ability, but simply because they
are not able to see or hear distinctly. This is well illustrated
by a story told by Supt. Whitcomb of Lowell. "A cabinet-
maker, a very superior workman, told me that as a boy he
was a failure at school and that when he tried to learn the
carpenter's trade at the age of sixteen he failed until he ac-
cidentally discovered, and then supplied, his need of glasses
for near-sighted eyes, after which his success was immediate.
`Why, I had never seen a line,' he said, `only a blur, and how
could I cut to that?' Had his defect been discovered a .few
years earlier it would have saved him some years of humiliat-
ing failure." It is to prevent such waste of time and energy
as this that the sight and hearing tests are made, and parents
whose children need help along these lines are notified.
Thoughtful parents are glad to have their attention called to
such deficiencies. It then rests with them to consult a special-
ist or to make such arrangements as seem to them wise.
A Course in Hygiene. The subject of hygiene is presented
in a systematic course which is more or less informal and
incidental in the lower grades, gradually becoming more
formal as it advances to the upper grades. Much is made of
the formation of habits of personal hygiene such as clean
faces and hands, clean teeth, clean clothing and clean air.
Here it is certain that the school can do little without the
sympathetic co-operation of the home.
I am sure that as parents and teachers consider together
more and more the needs of the children, they will find them-
selves in closer sympathy regarding what is being done and
what ought to be done, and great good will result for the
children.
Very respectfully, i
W. A. BALDWIN.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
To MR. GEOR,GE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools
The work in drawing of the year 1910 has followed the
general plan of the course outlined by the State Director of
Manual Arts, with such modifications as local .conditions
rendered necessary.
Teachers and supervisors of drawing have for years sought
to so correlate drawing with other essential studies that it
shall become a natural means of expression for the average
child.
Theoretically this power of graphic expression will enable
a pupil to emphasize a story by a picture, explain a scientific
fact by a diagram, or prepare a workman to show by a free-
hand sketch, the facts or appearance of an object, or give
the details of its construction by means of mechanical draw-
ings.
For a generation trained teachers, constantly striving for
better methods, have taught with these ends in view, yet the
results fall far short of these ideals. "Of course I had draw-
ing in school but I never could draw, I always wished that I
could." Some such formula expresses the average young
person's estimate of what drawing has done or failed to do
for him. The results of examinations of candidates for ad-
mission to the State Normal Schools, the lack of graphic
power shown by young men who enter our technical schools
challenge us to give them better preparation.
In spite of these facts another phase of the situation must
be considered. Power to draw is not the only result to be
promoted by art education in the public schools. Indeed it
seems sometimes to be regarded chiefly as a by-product. We
seek to develop an all round personality in each child, a per-
sonality that sees, enjoys and desires things that are fine and
beautiful in nature and art, that recognizes the true and
171
scorns shams and pretense. This we aibn to draw out and
stimulate first, last and all the time as we train the eye to see
and the hand to express the beauties of form and color that
all children love.
We cannot take our children to the Museum of Fine Arts
to become acquainted with masterly interpretations of
strength and beauty nor send them to look for fine examples
of color and design in shop windows, but we have the sea and
the sky, the marshes and stretches of Cape oaks, gorgeous in
i_tutumn, wonderful in spring with a charm all their own,
moist snows that make fairy dells of swamps and thickets,
tree trunks strong against the wintry skies, beauties every-
where about us that sink into the responsive souls of chil-
dren and enrich their lives with priceless memories.
We can make our simple school rooms as attractive as
possible by orderly arrangement of simple furnishings and
decorations, and by thoughtful treatment of the flowers that
the children bring with such delight. We can keep in mind
two basic principles; first, harmonious combinations of color
are obtained whenever beautiful colors are so balanced that
they give satisfaction to the eye; second, beauty is depend-
ent upon space relations. The latter fact should find expres-
sion in every finished exercise .in any study where pen or
pencil is used.
Three reasons for teaching drawing have recently been
tersely put by a recognized authority:
First, It tends to develop power to see.
Second., It develops the power of expression.
Third, It develops the power of appreciation.
To these I would add a fourth.. It is the bed rock on which
all industrial education that depends on the cultivated eye
and skilled hand must rest. Every community in this Com-
monwealth has a keen interest in the development of indus-
trial education and is watching the experiments of the men
who are directing this movement. Some forms of industrial
training will sQgu be found, adapted.to the needs of the rural
172
schools. Whatever they may be they should not'be allowed
to take the place of drawing or curtail its already limited
time. Drawing must not lose ground in the coming readjust-
ments.
Our own problems are unchanged. The most difficult fac-
tors in the grades are the unavoidable necessity of teaching
from three to four grades in one room, in ninety minutes per
week, and the inevitable changes in the teaching force.
We lost in 1910 faithful and efficient teachers whom we
miss. We are fortunate in their successors, but it takes time
and experience in our schools to get the grip that carries
this work forward and makes a fifth or seventh grade keep
pace with the ninth.
In December we again endeavored to have each child make
some object suitable for a Christmas gift. In the main good
work was done with greater ease than heretofore.
The High School is the legitimate place for the develop-
ment of gifted pupils and in them we find much encourage-
ment. Drawing is a required study in the first and second
years and the time scheduled for it is one period per week.
This gives for actual drawing but little oyer one third the
time previously given in the grades, an allowance altogether
too short for profitable work. The results are in proportion
to the time given, for in High Schools especially, time must
be reckoned a most important factor.
Creditable work is being done in spite of these drawbacks
by all pupils who study with definite ends in view. These
students, recognizing the importance of the time element,
draw all that they can on the supervisor's days and at other
periods during the week.
kiss Nutter's pupils in chemistry are required to illustrate
all their experiments by pictures or diagrams. These are made
on drawing paper cut to fit the note books. They are criti-
cized as drawings before they are placed in the note books
and their value is taken into account when the term mark
is given. 112iss Nutter has studied the effect of this require-
173
nient and she states emphatically, that clearer thinking and
a better understanding of the principles involved follow the
careful making of these illustrative drawings.
The College Entrance Board and some of our colleges and
technical schools already recognize the standing of drawing
as a preparatory study by giving credit for courses in
mechanical and freehand drawing. Since such recognition
is given, the day cannot be far distant when drawing must
be so effectively taught in our high schools that it will be on
a par with other studies and time given to it count towards
a diploma.
The development of the manual arts concerns every home.
All fathers and mothers are vitally interested in what the
schools do or attempt for their children along these lines.
Conferences with parents as to the needs and bent of their
children might be helpful to all concerned in these days of
reconstruction. All interested in these matters are cordially
invited to visit the schools in their villages when the Super-
visor is present.
Respectfully submitted,
LUELLA FAY MAYNARD.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To Mix. G. H. Gnr.GER, Superintendent of Schools:
Music is being taught this season in the schools of the
Town of Barnstable much the same as it has been taught for
several years past. The "Weaver Method," which.places
fundamental principles in a simplified manner before the
child mind, is the method used. The schools are well sup-
plied with the New Educational Music Course Readers; the
two combined furnished a course in music which is practical
and thorough. ,
In planning the course of study in music for the schools,
the demands made upon the subject have been considered,
and the conditions upon which the foundations are laid, have
been given much thought. It has been necessary therefore
in teaching the "Weaver Method," to constantly take into
consideration the number of grades in each room, and adapt
as well as possible the method to the existing conditions.
The first three grades are taught rote songs which instruct
and. entertain the child, train the ear, and afford an oppor-
tunity to gain much skill in recognizing various intervals. A
few fundamental. principles are taught to pupils of these
grades; one of special mention presented to the third grade
is a thorough knowledge of the key signatures. The inter-
mediate and grammar grades have had these and many other
fundamental principles, so they are competent to read at
sight exercises of reasonable difficulty,with chromatic altera-
tions;to keep good time, and render two and three part songs
with good intelligence.
The general aim has been to teach the language of music,
its "sounds and symbols" for singing and reading, to de-
velop the emotional nature and the aesthetic sense, as well as
an appreciation of good music. In developing the emotional
nature, music exerts its cultivating and refining influence on
175
life and character and promotes the ethical aims of educa-
tion.
The development of the voice has been given special atten-
tion this season and will receive all possible training to the
end of the school year. This will give pupils an excellent
opportunity to use their voices to the very best advantage.
So little time is given to music in the High Schools, it is
difficult to accomplish any large amount of good work. Our
public concerts will, however, afford the individual an op-
portunity to display his or her talent, and the result of our
general efforts will be shown in the rendering of choruses by
the entire class. Instruction in "Harmony" has been given
to those pupils of both High Schools, who are especially in-
terested in this subject. Members of these classes are taught
to write original melodies and to harmonize music for four
voices.
In closing, I deem it my duty, as well as pleasure, to com-
mend most heartily the co-operation I have received from the
regular teachers throughout the town. They have most
cheerfully responded to my demand .for a systematic pres-
entation of principles, and have not spared themselves in
carrying out the ideals of the method. Little could be accom-
plished without their co-operation, and this I have not found
wanting in so much as a single case. I take this opportunity
of publicly thanking the teachers, individually and col-
lectively, for the personal assistance they have given me by
their untiring work and encouraging words.
Respectfully submitted,
S. GERTRUDE TIGHE.

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
The report of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth Superin-
tendent is respectfully submitted:
The increase in the Brown Tail Moth this year is very
serious, from Yarmouth to Sandwich, on the north side of
the town. The work is only about one quarter done at pres-
ent, on account of the bad weather, and sixty bushels have
been taken off so far. In all, the number will probably reach.
three hundred bushels. The cause for this increase is due to
the fact that around Boston they do not pay much attention
to the Brown Tail, but devote all the time and money to fight-
ing the Gypsy, as they consider them by far the more deadly
to the trees. The result is that if the wind is in the right
quarter at the time of the flight of moths, they come down,
and settle on us; this explains why the north side of the town
gets the bulk of the moths, as they fly across the Bay and
settle as soon as they strike land. Now if this is to continue
every year the question arises, how far shall we go toward
cleaning them off? Shall we clean the fruit and shade trees
and let the rest remain, or shall we clean everything as we
have in the past?
The Gypsy conditions in town are much improved, with
the exception of a large colony found last summer. Of
the other colonies, there are only six; these are all in good
shape, but the large colony which is located at Popponessett,
the south-western boundary of the town, is a bad one. This
colony covers from fifty to seventy-five acres of mixed tim-
ber, oak and pine. The egg clusters were so thick there, that
we have used fifty-five gallons of creosote in treating them.
The wood is being cut off, and the refuse will be burned in
the spring, this will clean up the part where the cutting and
burning is done, but it may be necessary to spray a part of it,
which is small oak. This colony is by far the worst one which
has broken out on the Cape so far.

Local Supt.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
During the past fear years the Elm leaf beetles have been so
prevalent in our section that nearly all the work of the Tree
Warden has been fighting them,to save the Elms on the town
roads. In 1910 every Elm, with a very few exceptions, was
covered with spray and the foliage kept on through the sea-
son. In cases of Elms on private property where the trees
were not sprayed the foliage was stripped clean by the mid-
dle of July; this shows the advisability of covering the trees
with spray, because if they are stripped a number of years in
succession, it will kill them, the weaker ones dying first.
On account of the spraying that had to be done in order to
save the Elms, only a part of the necessary trimming was
done, the balance had to be carried over to 1911.
For the last two years I have been trying to get the large
Elms on Main street in Hyannis, west of the Barnstable road,
sprayed, but as these trees are just outhide the State High-
way limits they have refused to do it up to a short time ago,
when I secured a promise that they should be sprayed in 1911
It is to be hoped that the Town will see fit to appropriate
money enough to protect the Elms from the beetle the com-
ing season.

MILK INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
Marstons Mills, Jan. 29, 1912
To the Board of Ifealth of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:—
A new law having gone into effect, has caused much
more work to be done.
Thus far, I have made 268 dairy inspections, and have
issued 117 licenses.
Of the samples of milk that I have tested, 25 per cent.
quality. While the number of samples testing low may
seem large, I will say that the most of the milk testing low,
I found in two dairies.
I tested the milk from ojie of the dairies twice; and in
both instances found it to be below the standard. After
the second test, according to the law, that man was liable
to prosecution; but from the instructions that I had re-
ceived from you, I thought that you preferred to have the
quality of the milk in town made better by educating and
helping the dairymen, rather than by prosecution. I then
took the matter up with the dairyman, as he asked for my
help. I then tested the milk from several of his cows, and
found those giving the poor milk. .
He sold one cow to the butcher, and bought two, whose
milk I know tests well above the standard.
This seems a much better way to get good milk from
that dairy, than to prosecute the dairyman.
The second case was along similar lines.
Aside from these two cases the quality of the milk sold
in town has been very satisfactory.
In regard to the cow stables in town I will say that
they are in a much more sanitary condition than ever
before, and are being kept so.
Very respectfully,
GFORGR T. MFCARTA,
Milk Inspector..

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TAXATION.
'To the Citizens of Barnstable:
On petition of fifty voters of the town, the following
article appeared in the warrant issued prior to the last
annual meeting. "To see if the town will appoint a com-
mittee of three, five, seven, or nine as a Special Taxation
Committee, to act with the Board of Assessors, and to in-
struct or request, said joint committee and said Board to
make a full and-•complete valuation of all property in
Barnstable to be assessed in 1911.
At the said annual meeting the following vote was
passed: "That a committee of three be appointed by the
moderator to report,at this meeting or at any adjournment
thereof, the names of,a committee of nine to be called a
`taxation committe,,,' who shall make a full and complete
valuation of all property in the town of Barnstable subject
to taxation and report such valuation to the assessors."
The following gentlemen were appointed by the modera-
tor: Charles C. Paine, Esq.; F. H.''Hinckley and Benj. F.
Sears. At the adjourned meeting the following names were
reported by the committee: Edward F. Maher; Temp, Ch., '
Ulysses A. Hull, Marcus N. Harris, J. M. Leonard, S. Fre
mont Crocker, L. Frank Paine, Aaron S. Crosby, John Burs-
ley, Charles L. Gifford. The gentlemen named were unani-
mously elected, and it was voted that the committee be em-
powered to fill any vacancy-in the committee, and be sworn
to their duties.
At the said annual meeting, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted: "Resolved that it is the sense of
this meeting that all property in the town of Barnstable
284
subject to taxation, be assessed at its full and fair market
value, and that the committee of nine or Taxation Com-
mittee, so called, be empowered to have access to all town
records, the use of the town offices, and to advise with and
make recommendations to the board of Assessors to bring
about such assessment."
The Taxation Committee met at the Town Office Marcli
28, 1911, and organized as follows: Chairman, Edward F.
Maher, Secretary, Charles L. Gifford. Vacancies caused
by resignation of J. Al. Leonard and S. Fremont Crocker,
and by the absence in California of Marcus N. Harris, were
filled by the appointment of Henry C. Davis, Andrew W.
Lawrence and Ira L. Hinckley.
The following principles of taxation were adopted by
the Committee: "That the amount of tax paid on personal.
property, shall not affect the value to be assessed on the
real estate to be taxed to the same individual." That our
problem is not "What ought a particular citizen to pay?"
but solely "What amount of property is there to be assessed
and what is its full and fair market value?" That since
.the law directs and enforces the assessment of estates of
people who are dead at full valuation, and as we must thus
use the full size yard-stick in the case of property which
may be the sole support of widows and orphans, we cannot
in fairness be more lenient in other cases." "That one
thing is self evident," "that never in this Commonwealth
under any law will it be .allowed that the holders of large
amounts of property shall be taxed on a lower basis than the
holders of smaller amounts of similar property."
"That the principles employed by the Committee be
made.public through the medium of the local press."
It was voted in the Committee that all parcels of real
estate valued at $10,000 or more, be inspected by the full
committee, and that the following members serve as special
committees in assessing the property in the several precincts:
I. Barnstable—Henry C. Davis, John Bursley, Edw.
F. Maher, L. Frank Paine.
285
II. West. Barnstable—John Bursley, Andrew W.
Lawrence, Aaron S. Crosby.
III. Hyannis—Edw. F. Maher, L. Frank Paine, Aaron
S. Crosby, Charles L. Gifford.
IV. Centerville—Aaron S. Crosby, L. Frank Paine,
Andrew W. Lawrence, U. A. Hull.
V. Osterville—Ira L. Hinckley, L. Frank Paine, U. A.
Hull, Charles L. Gifford.
VI. Marstons Mills—Andrew W. Lawrence, John Burs-
ley, U. A. Hull.
VII.' Cotuit—U. A. Hull, Charles L. Gifford, Henry C.
Davis, Ira L. Hinckley.
A vote extending a cordial invitation to the full board of
Assessors to be present at all meetings, of the Committee
was passed unanimously.
At the request of the committee, State Supervisor of
Assessors, C. W. Dow, met the committee and Assessors at
the Town Office April 13, 1911, for the purpose of advice
and instruction, especially in regard to the method of de-
ciding the taxable value of specific parcels of real estate in
the town such as certain detached peninsular forms, islands,
"show places" so called, and. others not comparable with ad-
jacent parcels. Some of the main points of instruction re-
ceived from the Supervisor were as follows:
"That we should follow the law in all cases."
"That we should be familiar enough and should be able
to estimate reasonably enough a neighbor's bank account,
and to so estimate in case of his failure to make returns."
"That the personal property tax of individuals should.
be increased each and every year until the party so in-
creased is induced to file the return required by law."
"That the practice of assessing oyster growers for seed
or oysters planted after April 1 of each year is illegal, but
that the growers should be taxed for oysters actually on
the beds or in their possession on that date, their cash on
hand., and bills due their less debts."
286
"That the -income over' $2000 of all persons should be
taxed." (The Assessors reported that no direct income
tax had up to this time been imposed).
"That our seashore property should be treated specifi-
cally and not as `classified property.' "
"That all possible should be done to influence citizens to
make returns."
"That the Assessors could not be dictated to even by
vote at a town meeting, neither can they be forced to print
their valuations."
The Supervisor expressed himself as satisfied with the
personnel of the Committee and stated that he had already
advised the Assessors to follow the recommendations to be
made to them by the Committee, consistent with their oath
of office.
As the valuation books of the previous years could not
be taken from the Town Office, many days of laborious work
were required to make copies necessary to carry .on the
work. Many members gave nearly an entire month to the
work of making the valuation, uncomplainingly, some furn-
ishing the use of automobiles, entertaining members at
dinner, and in' every way doing all possible to have the
work well and fully accomplished. . , .
It was the policy at all times to interview the owner of
property to be taxed, and ask his assistance in assessing the,
property in his vicinity. Special mention and thanks are
due to the following gentlemen for such assistance: J.._Al.
Leonard, W. S. Scudder, Israel Crocker, H.. P. Leonard, ,
Robert Cross, L. N. Ames, N. H. Bearse, H. A. Dottridge,
B.F. Sears;Howard.IIarston, James Otis,Winthrop Crowell,
T. F. Phinney, George B. Fisher, Roscoe Hamblin, Horace
Ryder, M. N. Harris, Lorenzo Lewis, Wm. T. Beales, Charles
Ayling, Andrew Adie, Geoo H. Phelps, and many others.
Except in a few cases owners of real estate were very
willing to place a value on their property approximating its
real and full market value, in conformity to law, but expect=
287
ing the tax rate to be correspondingly low so that the tax
to be, paid would not be materially increased.
Unfortunately the Committee were not fully aware that
owing to the large amount of money appropriated at the-
town meeting, and that the supplementary December tax
the year before had enabled the assessors to make a tax
rate of$13.50 in 1910, it would be necessary to raise by taxa-
tion nearly 25 percent. more money than. last year. As-
suming that conditions this year were about as last year,
we hoped for a tax rate of $10.00 per $1000, or even less.
Had the same valuation remained however, as in 1910, the
tax rate would have been about $16.50 this year, and the
taxpayers would have more easily understood the increase
in their tax bills.
In some cases the Assessors may have been influenced
by the report of this Committee, and many large increases
may be justly laid to the Committee, for which we are
quite willing to take the responsibility. A careful com-
parison of the reports of the Committee as to their valua-
tion with the actual assessment finally made by the
Assessors, together with the personal statements of mem-
bers of the Board of Assessors, discloses the fact that in
but few instances have the Board followed the recommenda-
tions of the Committee, thereby putting at naught the Com-
inittee's adjustment of taxes for which it worked so labori-
ously, and thus not securing the net beneficial result to the
town hoped for by their labors. We perceive that the
Board of Assessors realized the dissatisfaction of the people
regarding the low valuation of the large estates, since these
were raised in a manner, which entitles the Assessors to the
approbation of the Committee and to the voters of the
town." As to the raise in valuation of the real estate in
general, this of course was found necessary if the tax rate
was to be kept in the vicinity of $13.00.
A beneficial result is the aroused public sentiment and
interest in this most vital matter of taxation and the ex-
288
pectation that a strong demand will be made of the future
Assessors for more careful conformity to law, frequent in-
spection of property to be taxed and above all to mak,,
;`equality of taxation" the great aim of their endeavor. as
neighbors will always watch each other in relation to their
taxes, and if owning similar property, demand to be
treated alike.
Upon learning of a recent sale at a price much greater,
than the assessed value, the assessors should not only ad-
just this particular parcel but similar adjoining parcels
should also be revalued.
It is the opinion of this committee that the town of
Barnstable is so large, property so diversified and changing
in value so continually, especially its shore property, that
no three men at the present salary can be expected to do the
work at all satisfactorily. We recommend at least six
assistant assessors residing in different sections of the,to,,vn,
to act with the Board when necessary, advising as to
values, and assisting in adjusting the taxes of their neigh
borhood.
Also, the committee recommends much greater care and
effort to locate personal property, and it is with regret that
the committee were forced to make final reports, before
they had fully exhausted their efforts in this directian.
The law.practically says- "You may make a return, or
you may run for luck." Most run for luck,,and the citi-
zen who feels any moral obligation to disclose his property
to the assessors is a rare specimen. It is easily,within the
power of the assessors to prevent "tax dodging" by increas-
ing the personal tax until returns are filed. It is an,open
question whether any member of the committee was justi-
fied in approaching the taxpayers with regard to their per-
sonal property. The Assessors alone have authority and
confidential relationship in these matters, and should use
all possible information as to estates probated, salaries, in-
come, and bank deposits.
289
The following figures as given to this committee by as
assessor, stating the increase in valuation recommended
by us in the several villages may be of interest:
Barnstable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$154,800.00
Hyannis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 285,990.00
Hyannisport . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 378,460.00
Centerville . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 159,990.00
Osterville 677,880.00
Marstons Mills . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33,250.00
Cotuit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 512,950.00
In addition to the above, the Committee recommended
much personal, and a large income tax. The valuation
increase of the village of West Barnstable is not given, but
owing to the 25 per cent. necessary increase, probably the
taxes of all were somewhat greater than last year.
Approximately the valuation of the town was increased
by the assessors 28 per cent., and if the recommendations of
the committee had been adopted, the increase would have
been about 47 per cent. The small taxpayer will in the
future reap the benefit of this increase, as by far the greater
increase has been made in the large estates.
Much interest and. some criticism has been aroused over
the withdrawal of a prominent resident as a voter, taking
his large personal property holdings of about $99;000 to
another town. The party owns a beautiful peninsular of
land estimated. to be worth from $50,000 to $150,000, on
which land exclusive of buildings a valuation of only $14,-
000 was assessed in 1910, and much less in previous years.
Much just dissatisfaction had been expressed regarding
this valuation and that of other similar parcels. Our com-
mittee recommended a value of $75,000 and the Assessors
placed a final value of $60,000 this year. This and many
similar examples fully justify the agitation resulting in the
appointment of this committee, and is full acknowledgment
290
by the assessors of the discrimination heretofore practiced
regarding these large estates.
The Committee sincerely regret the withdrawal men-
tioned and can appreciate the feeling of resentment in so
abrupt an increase, but the town has greatly favored the
gentleman in previous valuations, and the real estate still
remains, which in the estimate of the Committee is not yet
fully taxed.
The Committee find much property exempt from taxa-
tion, and in many cases believe the privilege of exemption
from reason of poverty, has been exercised too freely.
While it would be interesting to all the taxpayers to have
the full recommendations as to each parcel of property
printed, no provision for such expense has been made.
The following figures taken from one precinct will illustrate
conditions as found and adjusted, on certain parcels of
land only:
Assessed Assessed Recommended
in 1910 in 1911 by Committee
$5,000 $25,000 $35,575

11,200 18,000 29,000
6,000 14,000 17,000
12,000 19,000 60,000
12,000 28,000 32,000

1,300 7,000 11,000
4,000 7,500 10,000
3,000 6,000 9,000
It is to be regretted that our Board of Assessors should
have been displeased at the appointment of the Committee,
291 Q
resulting in a lack of harmonious action in the whole mat-
ter, but we feel that we are in no way to blame for the
point of view taken by them.
The Committee expresses the hope that permanent good
will result from its work. It has given much conscientious
effort, and trusts that every citizen will in the future give
more earnest attention to the whole matter of taxation
and assist the Assessors in all possible ways to bring about
more satisfactory assessments.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee.o,f Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee,
I have the honor to submit my seventh annual report on the
public schools, for the year ending December 31, 1911, the
same being the twenty-first in the series of Superintendents'
reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
REPAIRS ACCOMPLISHED
Among the most important items under "Repairs" the
past year were the finishing of the upper room at the
Elizabeth Lowell High School, the replastering and entire
renovation of the primary school room in the Cotuit Gram-
mar School building, book closets and outside repairs at
Marstons Mills, repairs on the stacks and painting the trim-
mings of the Barnstable High School, reconereting the cel-
lar of the north wing and repairing the stack of the Train-
ing School, and additional seatings for the Elizabeth
Lowell and Barnstable High Schools. The Elizabeth Lowell
School is now the best equipped school physically of its
size in the county. A final payment of $100 was made on
the heating and ventilating plant installed the year before
at Barnstable village. Thus far the plant has worked re-
markably well. It should be understood that included in
the "Repairs" account is the cost of cleaning the buildings,
of all janitors' supplies and of new furniture. This account
showed an unexpended balance of $452,54 for the year,
306
REPAIRS NEEDED
A survey of the repairs and improvements that should
be made on several of our school buildings in the immediate
future indicates that substantial sums will be needed for
that purpose.
The necessity of extensive alterations in the stairways
and entrances of the Barnstable Grammar School building,
offers a favorable opportunity for erecting an additional
room and for installing modern sanitary conveniences, and
an extensively signed petition in favor of such action has
been received by the School Board. Similar improvements
as to sanitary conditions should be made at Centerville and
Cot'uit, as previously recommended, the conditions in this
matter being particularly objectionable at the latter school.
Extensive repairs will also soon be necessary at the
Training School. The woodwork and walls have received
no treatment since the building was erected fifteen years
ago. The plastering is badly cracked and bulging in many
places, due in part to the effects of the acetylene-explosion of
several years ago, and the entire interior woodwork needs
varnishing; this will entail a very considerable expense.
It is probable also that within a very few years extensive
repairs will be needed on both the sanitary and heating
plants.
A plan was formulated by the School Board some years
ago by which at least one schoolroom a year was to be
refurnished with modern adjustable seatings. Up to last
year this plan had been so far carried out that the Training
School and the Marstons Mills School were the only build-
ings in which modern seats had not been installed. I
recommend that the latter school be so furnished this year
and that a sufficient number of adjustable seats be supplied
to the several rooms of the Training School to provide for
exceptional cases.
The probable erection of a new building at Osterville
will render only minor repairs necessary to the Qld build
ing,
307
TRANSPORTATION
Fewer complaints than usual regarding transportation
conditions have been received the past year. The ex-
penditures under this head, $4,.658.59, exceeded those of any
previous year and the estimated expenditures for the com-
ing year will be approximately the same
MEDICAL INSPECTION
Superintendents of rural school districts attempted Lite
past year to formulate more specifically the duties of school
medical inspectors and to provide uniform report blanka
regarding the performance of the same, but it was found
that the great variety of local conditions, and the consider-
able differences in the compensations of the physicians,
rendered such a plan at present impracticable. Testimony
was unanimous -however as to the value of medical in-
spection.
The report of School Physician J. Haydn Higgins, re-
cently transmitted to the Board, states that the vaccination
law is being better enforced and the eye and ear tests more
carefully made; that the more common deviations from the
normal are in function of nose and throat, digestive dis-
turbances, and nervous troubles of the milder sort, and
that Barnstable has the smallest proportion of "defectives"
in the state.
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
The sum appropriated for text-books and supplies,
though larger than that of tht preceding year, proved
barely adequate. The expenditure under this head was
a little less than five per cent. of the total expenditures for
the schools. A somewhat larger sum could be advantage-
ously used, but any attempt to fulfill ideal requirements
as to new books would be prohibitory in cost,
308
/ ENROLMENT, ATTENDANCE, ETC.
Enrolment and membership for the school year ending
June 1911., differed but little from that of the preceding
year. The total enrolment was 823. The percentage of
daily attendance was reduced somewhat by the prevalence
of whooping cough, mumps, and scarlet fever. Exclusion
from school of pupils so suffering seems to have little effect
in preventing the spread of such diseases, as the law pro-
vides for no effective social quarantine. It will require the
best efforts of the teachers and pupils in the schools so
affected to recover lost ground in lessons.
There has been but little truancy during the year and
that chiefly in one village, where the trouble seems chronic
and is brought about by economic conditions almost im-
possible to remedy.
REPORTS OF SUPERVISORS AND PRINCIPALS
The reports and recommendations of those directly en-
gaged in teaching and supervising have a peculiar value,
and the attention of parents is called to the reports of the
high school principals, of the commercial instructor, of
the supervisor of drawing and of the supervisor of music.
RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENT'S
Resignations the past year, though slightly less in
number than usual, still equalled nearly one-third the en-
tire teaching force, and involved a task of the utmost
difficulty in satisfactorily filling the resultant vacancies.
Miss J. Lucile Thayer of Barnstable and Miss Lucy H.
Ryder of Cotuit, both of whom showed natural teaching
aptitude as part-time assistants at Barnstable and Santuit
respectively, declined re-election, the latter becoming a
student in the Hyannis Normal School. Miss Genevieve
2/1, Perry of West Barnstable and Miss Charlotte S. Sibley
809
of Hyannis, after filling their respective positions for sev-
eral years with marked ability, retired from the profession
in June.
Miss Georgiana Jones of Barnstable, and Miss Rebecca
C. Lapham of Santuit, succeeded Miss Thayer and Miss
' Ryder, and. Miss Bertha S. Weber of Hyannis, succeeded
Miss Perry. The vacancy in the Barnstable High School
permitted a rearrangement of program and Mr. W. Sherman
Atwood of Brockton, was appointed sub-master. Mrs.
Florence T. Davis, as Commercial Instructor in the.Barn-
stable High School, carried on the work with rare enthusi-
asm, thoroughness and efficiency, and her resignation in
October was greatly regretted by all. She was succeeded
by Miss Luella R. Lyon of Waterbury, Ct.
Mr. Chas. L. Gifford, principal at Osterville, resigned in
March, the vacancy being filled until the following June
by Edward L. Asliley of Boston. Mr. Lewis A. Sheafe of
Amesbury, was appointed to the position in September.
Harry L. Edgco.mb, who had shown energy and enter-
prise as principal of the Cotuit Grammar School, refused
re-election in June and the resulting vacancy was filled by
the appointment of Mrs. C. L. Hall, whose previous work as
principal had been so satisfactory. Mrs. Hall, after doing
invaluable work in organizing the school, resigned in
October, and was succeeded by Mr. Ernest E. Smith of
Westwood. Previous acquaintance with the school as a
student proved a considerable aid to Mr. Andrew G. John-
son in his administration of the Training School for two
,years as principal. Mr. Wm. G. Currier of Braintree, suc-
ceed.ed to the position in September. Mabel K. Baker,having
filled, for two terms, with her customary efficiency the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Annie H. Chad-
wick, was succeeded in September by Miss Mabel R. Coombs
of Bardwell's Ferry.
Miss S. Gertrude Tighe, who labored most faithfully
during the year as Supervisor of Music, declined re-elec-
(310
tion in June and was succeeded in September by Aliss
Frances L. Stockton of Hampden.
All the above appointees, except the part-time assistants,
had had both professional training and valuable experience a
SCHOOL FINANCES
Presenting an unexpended balance at the end of the
fiscal year has not recently been a habit of the school de-
partment, but such a balance is presented for 1911. This
is due, however, to the fact that certain repairs planned
were not carried out, a considerable balance under that
head therefore remaining. The expenditures under
"Text-books and Supplies" were kept within the appro-
priation, those under "School Purposes" and under
"Transportation" exceeded the appropriations 'by $63.79
and $158.59 respectively. The total unexpended balance
was $231.90.
SUMMARY OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES, 1911
Total Available Balance or
Appropriations Expenditures' Deficiency
School Purposes, $24,387 70 $24,451 49 —$63 79
Text-books, supplies, 1,600 00 1,598 26 +1 74
Repairs, 2,500 00 2,047 46 +452 54
Transportation, 4,500 00 4,658 59 —158 59
Totals, $32,987 70 $32,755 80 +$231 .90
ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES
As will be seen by the above, actual expenditures tallied
closely with the estimates for "School Purposes" and for
"'Text-books `and Supplies;" the expenditures for "Trans- q
portation" exceeded the estimates by $158.59, while under
"Repairs" a balance of $452.54 remained unexpended.
Under "School Purposes the expenditures for fuel ex-
31i
seeded the estimates by $37.41; the salaries of three
janitors were increased, an increase of fifty dollars was
made in the annual salary of the Supervisor of Drawing,
and the employment of a sub-master in the Barnstable High
School in place of Miss Sibley, resigned, also involved an
increase in salary. Two or three teachers entering their
third year of service receiv6d the advance of $5 per montli
called for by our present schedule. Most of the, above
increases began in September, but will of course be operative
during the entire school year of 1912. The expenditures
for "School Purposes" for 1911 totalled $24,451.49. Should
we by good fortune retain most of our present teachers the
coming year, with no increase of salaries except as called
for by schedule, about $450 will be needed above that ex-
pended last year.
Summing up, allowing a possible income from sources
other than taxation, of $1,100, and expenditure of $2,000 for
fuel, $250 for miscellaneous items, $50 for the school census,
and $1,934 for janitors' salaries, the total sum needed to
be voted for "School Purposes" for 1912 will be $23,700.
"Transportation" will call for approximately $4,650;
"Text-books and Supplies'.' $1,600; "Repairs," as may be
determined by the annual meeting.
In another place in this report the .urgent need of a
fairer wage return for grade teachers is discussed. An
approach at least toward such action could be made at this
time by an advance of one dollar per week or thirty-six dol-
lars per year, applicable to grade teachers in their third or
later year of service to the town, and also to grammar
school principals of similar length of service. The total
expense of this, meaning so much,for the good of the schools,
would be not over $600. This, added to the $23,700 previ-
ously mentioned would give a total of $24,300 needed for
all "School Purposes," the term comprising all salaries, in-
eluding those of janitors; expenditures for fuel, the school
census, and miscellaneous items.
RANK OF BARNSTABLE IN SCHOOL APPROPRIA-
TIONS
In the tag for schools, per thousand dollars of valuation,
the rank of -Barnstable is one hundred ninety-sixth, 195
other towns in the Commonwealth taxing themselves .more
heavily. Barnstable taxes itself $4.88 per thousand; Har-
wich $5.21. and stands one hundred sixty-seventh; Orleans
$6.11 and stands ninety-seventh; Sandwich $6.29 and stands
eighty-second; -Provincetown $7.69 and stands eleventh;
West Boylston $10.56 and stands first.
Barnstable spends per pupil for text-books and supplies
$1.94, Bourne $3.20, Brewster $1.80, Chatham $2.68, Den-
nis $1.20, Eastham $2.44, Falmouth $2.75, Harwich $1.87,
Mashpee $2.69, Orleans $1.63, Provincetown $1.67, Truro
$1.80, Wellfleet $2.21, Yarmouth $3.94. The average for
the county is $2.32.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Progress in most of the subjects of instruction was de-
scribed somewhat in detail in last year's report, and the
work of the past year calls for little additional comment.
In most of the schools progress toward securing thorough-
ness in the fundamentals is evident, though slow.
The new course in arithmetic is proving somewhat too
comprehensive in some of its requirements and a revised
course is being prepared.
There has been an improvement in spelling in nearly all
the schools, .but oral reading in the higher grades is still
unsatisfactory, and much remains to be worked out in the
question of technical grammar in the grades, especially in
its relation to high school demands.
The quality of the instruction in the important subjects
of geography, history and civics varies widely in the differ-
ent schools, profitable and progressive teaching in these
subjects being peculiarly dependent upon the individual
aptitude, ability and breadth of experience of the teacher
Nature study is fragmentary, disconnected and unsatis-
factory in many of the schools, due to the inadequate train-
ing of the teachers and the time necessity of considering
the subject as a minor one, to be tacked on at such times
and 'places as other work allows.
Systematic hand training, and indispensable accompani-
ment of any rational and adequate system of education, is,
except in connection with drawing, almost wholly absent
from our schools. Some of the teachers who have the
requisite ability and initiative have done something in hand
training beyond that required by the drawing course. This
work is excellent in itself, but as it is preceded and followed
by no similar work, much of its value as training is lost.
I desire here to call attention to the unusually even, faith
ful and thorough work being done at present by our little
group of underpaid grammar school principals, and to ex-
press the hope that in the interests of the schools of Barn-
stable we may be able to retain them.
HIGH SCHOOLS
The. high schools are making moderate progress along
some of the lines suggested in previous reports. Better
work is being done in English in both schools, the modified
college requirements now rendering it almost possible for
a capable teacher to fulfill such, without developing in his
pupils a lasting distaste for standard literature. Techni
cal algebra is now confined to two terms of the freshman
year, work in narrative and business English occupying
the other term. Advanced algebra is offered in the senior
year to candidates for college. In modern languages four
years of either French or German are offered instead of two
years of each as formerly.
The appointment of a sub-master in the Barnstable High
B-21
314
School, has made it possible for chemistry and physics to be
taught by the same instructor, to the great .advantage of
both. As far as is consistent with rigid disciplinary train-
ing in these subjects,. their practical application is being
emphasized.
No radical changes have been made in the program of
the Commercial Course. While more time devoted to type-
writing and shorthand would be highly advantageous from.
the strictly business standpoint, it still remains the policy
of the Board to insist on a good general training accompany-
ing the commercial work throughout the entire four years.
In the Elizabeth Lowell High School most faithful world
has been done along the conventional lines rendered neces
sary by the small teaching force and the requirements of..
the law. Such a course, valuable as it is,is not the one best
fitted, however, for a large proportion of the pupils and it is
to be hoped that such modifications may soon be possible as
will permit of a larger amount of work more in touch with
the demands of the life of today.
Very slowly the curricula of rural high schools are be
ing modified in the direction of the demands of modern
life.- Meanwhile many pupils utterly unfit for such wort:
are being loaded with "dead vocables," with the refine-
ments of formal rhetoric and with abstract formulas in
science, because, forsooth, such things were in the past sup
posed to best fit pupils for entrance into college or into
"the higher walks of life." The reaction against such
abstractions, taking largely the form of "vocational train-
ing," is in the cities growing with astonishing rapidity. '
The movement, like all violent reactions, has its dangers,
one of which is that of forgetting that it makes all the
difference in the world in the character of a man's life,
whether he lives to do business or does business to live. But
the dangers of the vocational movement concern our rural
high schools but little; they are trailing too far in the rear
for that. It could well be the peculiar work and glory of
315
such schools, were it made possible for them to secure and
hold adequately trained teachers, to strike the golden mean
between the conservatism of the past and the radicalism of
today.
But such a golden mean cannot be reached by drifting.
Any approach toward such an end means continuous effort
at the difficult task of judging the relative values in life of
the subjects taught in these schools. It means at least the
partial elimination of those subjects whose end seems to be
chiefly ornament in conversation rather than use in vital
activities, and of those which constitute in the main a mere
mass of comparatively useless facts. We smile at the
Illyrian peasant who balances the bag of grain carried on
one side by a bag of the stones on the other, but our schools
have been sending out their graduates loaded in exactly
similar fashion. "It is not the knowledge which is stored
up as intellectual fat which is of value, but that which is
turned into intellectual muscle," says Spencer, and it is
intellectual and moral muscle above all that our young
people need. ' It should be the special work of"the peoples'
college" to develop this to the utmost. But in so doing A
will need the active cooperation of the home and the church
and of the men and women engaged in the every-day work
of the world. -Some duties are already fairly certain:
There must be it broadening and deepening of the science
work, aiming to cultivate a habit of patient observation and
dispassionate judgment and to instill a reverence for the
laws of nature that will be lived as well as felt. Mathema-
tics should be taught as a means of rigid mental training
and as having many direct applications to every-day affairs
and to the higher arts. The ends sought in the teaching of
English literature, of the languages and of history have
much in common, the development of discrimination, appre-
ciation of the good in literature and life, of human sympathy,
and of an earnest desire to do worthily one's part in the
world. And along with all these the pupil should receive
some systematic training having reference to some one of the
great industries, in order that it may not be said of our
schools that they send out our youth "magnificently unpre-
pared for the long littleness of life."
Many of these aims our high school teachers are already
seeking with intelligent and faithful labor. Their efforts
deserve greater encouragement and more liberal support.
TRAINING SCHOOL
Under skilled teachers much has been accomplished in
the Training School, along the lines for which it is so justly
noted. Mr. Baldwin's report on the School will be found
on another page.
DRAWING AND MUSIC
Few if any towns in the state offer greater physical ob-
stacles to effective supervision than Barnstable, and the
wear and tear of the transportation involved in visiting
eight widely scattered villages can fully be appreciated
only by those engaged in.the work. Since the cost of this
transportation is paid by the supervisors themselves, their
net financial returns are anything but generous. In spite,
however, of the above obstacles and the disadvantages of-
fered by the great variety of grading in the schools, excel-
lent work is being done by the supervisors of both sub-
jects. It is safe to say that few towns of the character and
size of Barnstable can show better work in drawing, based
on a more modern, comprehensive and wisely planned course
than the work being done under the guidance and inspira-
tion of our present instructor, and there is evidence than
this is being appreciated by parents as well as by pupils .
and school officials.
317
ONE KIND OF RURAL BETTERMENT NEEDED
Perhaps not more than one-tenth of the voters of the
town will do more than glance at the third column
under the heading "List of Teachers" in this report.
Yet the continuance of the conditions there indicated spells
nothing less than disaster to the boys and girls of Barnsta-
ble. A study of the facts there given shows that over
fifty per cent. of our teachers have served the town less than
two years and nearly one-third less than one year. How-
ever difficult it may be for the average layman to even be-
gin to appreciate the misunderstandings, loss of time, mis-
directed efforts, lack of continuity, economy and exactness
in school work, brought about by such constant change of
teachers, the loss to the best development of our boys and
girls is so immensely great that no good citizen ought to,
ignore it, or do less than his best to bring about a radical
change.
The work of the teacher of the average rural school,
if effectively done, is incomparably more difficult than that
of the teacher of the city graded school. Needing, above
all, teachers of highly competent ability, the average rural
town seeks to obtain such by offering difficult conditions,
insecure tenure and salaries from twenty per cent. to sixty
per cent. less than those paid .by the cities and larger
towns, offering in fact a mere existence wage. Yet with
the resulting loss and change of teachers we wonder mean-
while when an occasional pupil shows ari amazing ignorance
of what he should know and an irritating inability to do
what he should be able to do.
Better teachers and the lessening of the number of
grades and pupils to a room are the two foundation stones
of the arch of successful instruction, and no amount of
theorizing, argument or supervision will produce the desired
results until these foundations are secured. It is not at all
a question to be discussed by "educational experts,." but
a situation, which, once understood in all its seriousness by
318
parents, calls for an awakening of the public conscience to
our duties to the young, who are and ever must be "the con-
tinuing hope" of the nation.
Even if we may not hope to lessen the rush to the city,
it' is our plain duty to send our young people there
thoroughly taught in the fundamentals, with habits of close
observation, clear thinking and persistent industry, and with
some conception of their duties to their fellowmen.
If our schools are not what they should be their gradu•
ates will have few or none of these qualities. Some of them
will drift back again to their home towns, as so many now
do, taking up occupations requiring little skill or ability;
others, remaining in the cities, will mix with the great mass
of the unsuccessful and discouraged. And for such failures
the mass of parents and voters in our rural towns are
primarily responsible. It is in their power and in the
power of none others to make possible the more adequate
fitting of our young people for more worthy and effective
citizenship.
Our rural towns demand as good roads, as good mail and
telephone service as obtains in the cities; why not as good
teachers and as good schools? Are the latter less import-
ant than the former to the future good of the community?
But to secure such requires a financial policy, sincere enough.
to realize, and courageous enough to act upon, the proposi-
tion that only by offering the best can the best be secured,
and that the best is nowhere more imperatively needed than
in our rural schools.
Says Dr. A. E. Winship, the highest authority in America
on actual conditions in our schools: "The country school
has in its keeping the future of America. It is the univer-
sal medium of restoring a pure country citizenship.
The country school can never do its work for American
citizenship unless it is in all respects equal to the city
school.
Wages must be relatively the same for teachers in
country and city.
319
Teachers must be specifically trained for work in un-
graded schools. The country school is as unlike the city
graded school, as a garden is unlike a wheat field.
The country teacher must know and love country life
and want to stay there."
In our own town the need of an advance in the salarias
of grade teachers is an immediate and vital one, conditioning
all genuine and lasting improvement in the work of our
schools. We, too, are paying to such teachers, attempting
work which calls for the highest skill, ability and character,
a bare existence wage. Many of our teachers are paying
city rates for board. Perhaps in view of existing high
prices these rates are not unreasonable, but they are higher
than those charged in surrounding towns. The result is
that some of our teachers are actually receiving a smaller
net wage than those of neighboring and financially poorer
towns, increasing the already extreme difficulty of obtaining
desirable candidates for vacancies.
If the basis of true democracy is giving"equal opportuni-
ties to all," then our school system is far from democratic.
It will become truly democratic only when our country boys_
and girls are guided and inspired throughout their school
course by teachers equal in ability, breadth of culture and
sympathy to those found in our most progressive city
schools. This will become possible only through the direct
action of thoughtful and public-spirited parents and voters,
action as radical in nature as the need is imperative.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE BARN-
STABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir
:-
I hereby submit to you my report as principal of the
Barnstable High School:
SCIENCE
The Science work of the first-year class during.the fall
term has been wholly along biological lines. Particular
attention has been given to those.forms of animal and plant
life that are found in the immediate vicinity of the school,
and along our shores.
For the present term the class will be occupied in a
study of the Human Body, and in the spring a course in
Botany, including Elementary Forestry will be given.
In both Physics and Chemistry the aim has been to make,
the work as practical as possible, to have the pupil see for
himself that the work is really worth while, and that the
knowledge gained in the class room is of some value in the
everyday world.
In Chemistry some very good work has been done in
analysis of water. Experiments in food analysis will be
performed by the class later in the year:
All experiments are carefully recorded in note-books.
The installing of a new cabinet in the laboratory enables us
to give much better care to the apparatus and adds to the
appearance of the room.
MODERN LANGUAGES
In September, the study of French was introduced into
the second-year class. By this it is hoped that the pupil
will obtain a much firmer grasp of the language than has
321
been possible hitherto when only two years could be giver.
The teaching has been almost entirely by the conversational
method, the end in view being to train the ear as well as
the eye.
In the German classes the interest has been quickened
by the singing of German songs and by readings from the
new book, "Im Vaterland."
ATHLETICS
A more active interest in Athletics has been aroused this
year than ever before, the cooperation of the school authori-
ties with the boys proving to be a good thing in every way.
The football team played games with the Normal School
and with town teams in the early part of the fall term.
Soccer football kept the interest alive until snowfall.
The grounds to the west of the schoolhouse have been
surveyed and a careful estimate made as to the probable
cost of grading and putting this land into shape for an
athletic field.
The estimated cost is $700, and so enthusiastic are the
friends of the school in this project that already $415 of this
amount has been raised. Contributions to this fand `may
be sent to Dr. Heman B. Chase, Hyannis.
k PROMOTIONS
Since my last report we have done away with "condi-
tional" promotion. A pupil can no longer pass on deficient
in one or more studies.
The good effects of this have already become manifest.
At the end of the month I mail to the parent of each
pupil who is deficient a statement showing in just what
studies that pupil has failed to reach the rank required for
promotion. In this way we hope to keep the home and,
school in close touch with each other.
322
POST-GRADUATE WORK
We desire as far as lies within our power to.. give to
every pupil the best possible preparation for his life work,
and to,this end every teacher is striving to the utmost from
the time the pupil enters the first grade of the Grammar
school until he is graduated from the High school.
By looking at the statistics given further on in this book
you will see that 16 graduates out of a class of 22 have con-
tinued their education elsewhere.
Of the class of 1910, sixty-three per cent. went to other
institutions- of the class of 1911, seventy-two per cent. I
am'trying to make that percentage one hundred.'
From time to time, I learn of a parent who would gladly
send his boy or girl to some higher school or college, but who
dares not cherish the idea because of the expense: If any
such read this report, I shall be very glad to have him talk
the matter over with me. I keep in close touch with the boys
and girls who go on and know quite well just how some have
managed—financially—to go on.
It would be unfair to them for me to mention in this
report any of the various ways and means employed by them,
but to anyone interested sufficiently to call upon me in regard
to this matter, I may be able to point out a way for some
other boy or. girl, and that is the important thing.
A few weeks ago a pupil who has been with me for
nearly three years, in respohse to that oft-repeated question
of mine, "What are-you going to do with yourself?" re
plied, "I should like very much to go to Normal, but I can't
afford it."
She was not aware of the fact that there is no charge for
tuition at the State Normal schools, and that at the local
normal school there is a loan fund for the benefit of such as
need aid. She is now preparing to enter a normal school.
Parents and pupils need to understand clearly that there
is always a way for every boy and girl, who is in earnest,
to obtain an education.
323
Note this offer for instance: A Harvard graduate, who
desires that I shall not give his name publicity, offers finan-
cial backing for one year at Harvard'.to any graduate of
this school, who shall pass examination to that university.
This gentleman states that if the student does good work
during that first year there is no doubt whatsoever about
obtaining the money for him to complete his college course.
Parents and pupils should remember that we.have here
in Massachusetts within a comparatively short distance
from home, excellent professional and trade.schools.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS .M. BOODY.

REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR
OF THE BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
To MR. G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools :
While it is true that to make the work of this department
what it should be, more time is needed; yet, under present
conditions, much has been done in previous years. Much
more can yet be done along fundamental lines toward fit-
ting the.student to take his place in the business world.
To improve opportunities in any line of work, one should
have, first of all, the right mental attitude toward that
work; and in this connection it is encouraging to recall the
earnestnesss of endeavor and the steadiness of purpose
,shown by the commercial division of the class of 1911, and
to note that a number of those now with us seem to b-
gaining that active personal interest, that feeling of respon-
sibility for the quality of their own work, as well as for the
work of their class and school, which every member of
such an institution should possess.
For a number of years, the New England High School
Commercial Teachers' Association has asked influential busi-
ness men to tell its members just what training they think
young people should have to fit them for the life commer-
cial. It is interesting and helpful to note their agreement
on first essentials. "Teach them," they say, "to be truth-
ful, punctual, thorough, economical, clean and accurate.
Encourage them to dress neatly, quietly and suitably.
Teach them to spell, to use correct English, to write with
facility a plain business hand, to perform the ordinary
arithmetical processes quickly, to concentrate, to acquire
what some one has called "the art of being kind," or th(,
expression of good-will toward others which we call
courtesy, to do their work independently and quietly, with
the least possible friction, and , above all, teach them "to
think relatedly and with definite purpose."
329
So then, in the work of this department during the east
year, we have tried to use the subjects taught as helps in
gaining these fundamental qualities,—as opportunities for
the exercise and development of a proper appreciation of the
relative values of.things, as well as for the acquirement of
specific information.
This year the commercial arithmetic has been made a
first-year subject. It is hoped that the time thus gained
in the second year may next year be given to the work in
English. In these classes much time and attention have
been given to drill work on simple concrete problems. The
pupils have been trying to explain clearly and truthfully
the processes used in solving these.
In stenographic work the aim has been to give a solid
foundation of principles, as large a working vocabulary as
possible, and as much facility in the use of it as can be
acquired by the students in the time available for this line
of work. In the short,course we offer the interesting cul-
tural possibilities of the subject must of necessity be ignored.
The pupils have been taught the fundamental principles
of accounting and given a working knowledge of their
practical application. As an aid in securing neat and exact
mechanical work and as a means of awakening a desire in
the pupils to keep individual accounts, this study of book-
keeping has .been of indirect as well as of direct value.
The typewriting classes have had instruction in the care
of the machines, and touch work has been insisted upon.
The lessons have been varied as much as possible so as to
give the student a general working knowledge of differ-
ing phases of the subject. The clerical work of the school,
with that sent in from outside, has been of direct assistance
in making this course of practical value.
During the past year no special drill in penmanship has
been given, but this year we plan to use a part of the time
at present assigned to first and second-year arithmetic and
H-22
33�
to bookkeeping for work in this study, in accordance with
the general plan calling for drill in penmanship in all
grades. `

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE ELIZABETH
LOWELI, HIGH SCHOOL.
To Mn. G. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools: '
The membership of,the Elizabeth Lowell High School is
smaller than last,year, as we have only twenty-seven pupils
`recorded on our register, but the attendance is much better
than last year. The pupils have been very loyal in attend=
ing school during the .many stormy days that we have had,
and thus our school work has not been retarded.
Our Latin course of study.is practically the same as last
year, but we have made some changes in our English course.
United States.History is given this year, and great interest
is being shown in this subject. Commercial or Business
Arithmetic is being given to the Senior class. This study
is certainly a practical,one and ought to be a help to all who
take it. Very often we meet men who say that the High
School education is of no use and that it is time wasted,
because High School graduates know nothing about Arith-
metic. This course in Arithmetic ought in a measure to
stop such adverse criticism, but even then, much still de-
pends upon the pupil himself. We also have added a brief
course in natural science for the first year class.
The equipment of our school has been greatly unproved
by converting the room upstairs into a first-class drawing
room. This room now makes it possible for us to utilize
both rooms downstairs for recitation purposes, while the
drawing lesson is being given. In the laboratory room we
have a new chemistry cabinet, which, when completed, will
add to the appearance and usefulness of that, room.
The working spirit of the school is much better than
last year. We have been striving to make it plain that
our High School has no place for loafers and idlers. The
recent term examinations showed quite pleasing results.
Seven pupils gained honors by having ranks of 80 per cent.
and over, ,while several others. were close to that grade.
The work in English has shown a marked improvement,
both in composition and in oral recitation.
The pupils who have earned honors have been those who
have studied at home. We repeat that home study is
necessary in order to .obtain noteworthy results. Daily
study counts more than spasmodic bursts of diligence.
Very few parents have visited the school this year .and
we urge that more of them come in to see and hear the work
that we are doing.
We wish to commend the. faithfulness and. hearty .co
operation of our assistant. �}

REPORT ON THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
MR. GEORGE H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:
Ever since I have been connected with the schools of
Hyannis, the teachers of the Training School have fre-
quently expressed dissatisfaction with the noon hour con-
ditions. Even when the weather is good quite a number
of children find it impracticable to go home for dinner and
when the weather is bad this number is considerably in-
creased.. The lunches eaten by these children are always
cold and often unhygienic. These lunches were, at first,
eaten hastily, with no thought of a table or of table man-
ners. After this hasty lunch the children rushed out to
play with no one to see that they did not get into quarrels
and other troubles incident to the unsupervised noon recess.
Gradually some of these things have been improved but
still there is no provision for warm soup, which is so cheap,
so easy to provide and yet so wholesome, or for a suitable
place for eating the lunches and for playing games on
stormy days.
During the current year Miss Crowell, our teacher of
physical training and hygiene, has been devoting her noon
hours to supervising the children and to studying their
needs. This work has been entirely voluntary on the part
of Miss Crowell and has been done because of her great in-
terest in the problem. I have asked her to give to us the
results of her observations in a brief report, which I take
pleasure in submitting to you.
REPORT OF MISS CROWELL TO MR. BALDIVIN.
My dear Mr. Baldwin:—
We have, on the average, twenty-four children who are
obliged to bring lunches. On stormy days the number
rises to about thirty-two.
336
Last year it was customary to have the children gather
in one of the lower grade class-rooms under the supervision
of one of the regular teachers. The children sat either at
school desks or on benches with their boxes iri their laps
and ate almost in silence, it being impossible to allow much
conversation in so widely scattered a group. As soon as a
child finished eating, he was allowed to go out-of=doors to
play and all were expected to finish and go out in time
to.give the,teacher an opportunity, to go home'for lunch,
after,the necessary cleaning-up had been,done.
Such;an arrangement was open to several; objections.
It cultivated•the habit of hasty;eating, a habit which,re-
acted unfavorably upon both .health and good manners,
it brought the children to a ineal with no thought,of wa�h-
ing their hands or otherwise,preparing themselves for it.;
it sent them out to play vigorously after a meal; thus in
terfering with digestion. On stormy days play�in'the base-
ment, where dust from the cement floor filled the air, was
another unfortunate and unwholesome feature.
When one considers that these same children are obliged
to bring their lunches every day for nine years of their
school life, it is.evident that the,training c%vhich the noon
hour brings, good or bad, constitutes a very real part of
their,education.
For a long time it has seemed to me that the noon hour,
instead.of being a weak part of our school training, might
be made the basis for valuable, practical lessons in hygiene.
With.this in mind I obtained permission from Supt. Galger
and the School Committee to take charge of the noon hour.
It seemed to me highly desirable to approximate hoiiie
conditions, at least to the extent of having the children sit
at table.
In the attic of the Training School there is a large space
about the central chimney, separated from the rest of the
attic by a matched-board partition. We used this for a
lunch room. Four oblong dining tables borrowed from
337
the Normal School were put together to form one long
.table capable of seating twenty-six. With this equipment
the children were able to eat under conditions somewhat like
'those of a family table. Paper napkins, fresh every ,.day,
were put at each place .to serve as individual table-cloths.
The children were encouraged to conveirse quietly, to eat
slowly and to observe ordinary table "manners. When a
child. had finished eating and had asked to be excused; lie
washed-his hands and dried them on his paper napkin before
going to the game table'on which were games loaned by tha
different children. After all had finished'eating, a few
more minutes were spent in quiet play and then all but two
of the group went out to the playground. These two re-
mained. to put the room in order. This last duty gave
opportunity .to e verY child in turn to get some valaable
lessons.in housekeeping.
Gradually the attic became too cold and, since Christmas,
-we have been obliged to go back to our old custom of eating
in one of the classrooms. The experiment upstairs lasted
:long enough for me to make some interesting observations.
First of all, I noticed a marked change in the'rate at
which the meal was eaten. On the first day, all of the chip-
d.ren had finished eating within seven,minutes. Under the
.influence of the atmosphere of leisure produced by being
seated at table and. being allowed to converse, the time
occupied by eating was gradually extended to twenty and
then to thirty -minutes.
With the improvement in the rate of eating there came
a corresponding improvement in table manners. The
children who had been carefully trained at home helped
to teach the others by example some of. the commonest
courtesies, such as refraining from talking when the mouth
contains food, taking small mouthfuls and asking to be es
cused. upon leaving the table.
In many cases the quality of the hunches improved. A
few of the more thoughtful and intelligent of the parents had
338
been in the habit of providing for their children custards
and other soft desserts instead of the proverbial bread and
cake lunch, repeated day after day. Their example was
followed by others so that quite a number of jars'o.f milk
and of soft food of various kinds appeared. The
method of packing lunches improved in some cases, a paper
napkin appearing where before the food had been packed in
a bare tin pail.
The children had no warm food. Several of them ex-
pressed a desire for it and recently one girl from a good
home has sometimes brought a thermo-bottle and distri-
buted warm cocoa to a few of her friends. In'spite of the
lack of warm food the meal upstairs was, in many respects,
home-like in character and much more healthful and re-
fining in its influence than it had been in other years.
As the weather became colder, we-tried to make our-
selves comfortable by wearing outside wraps at table but
we were finally obliged to abandon the third floor lunch .
room and go to one of the class-rooms on the first floor.
The children are no longer gathered at one large table, so
some of the family spirit is lost. There is not so good an
opportunity for games as there was upstairs, so the c_.hil
dren now remain sitting at table until half past twelve
and then go out-of-doors at once. The clearing up is a
much longer and more difficult process because of the non-
movable furniture.
It seems to me that a great deal of benefit would come
from having a special lunch room with movable furniture.
The room in the attic could easily be transformed into
a very comfortable lunch room. At present its matched-
board walls extend only part way up to the roof of the
school building and a skylight in the roof lights the room.
If a glass cover were put over the top of the room and a
stove connected with the chimney which is already there,
we should have facilities not only for keeping the room
warm but for heating food brought from, home and possibly
339
for preparing at school and serving warm food, at cost, to
those who wished to avail themselves of the opportunity.
In some schools it has been found possible to keep the
price of soup as low as three cents a plate. If we could do
this, it would bring the possibility of warm food within the
reach of any child.
Respectfully yours,
AN,NIE S. CROWELL.
The above report of Miss Crowell seems to present the
matter very well as it now stands.
May I assure you that the Normal School, stands ready
to aid in any attempt on the part of your Committee or
of the women of Hyannis in meeting the needs which are
apparent to all who consider the matter carefully?
Very respectfully yours,

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
To MR. G. H. GALaER, Superintendent of Schools:
In accordance with custom, I submit through you, to
the citizens of Barnstable my report of the work laid out and
accomplished this year in Music.
We have endeavored to show that music can be correlated
with all other school subjects. It has been our purpose
therefore to point out the place of music in the general edu-
cational scheme; to demonstrate its value as a mental train-
ing; and to prove the artistic possibilities to which music
may rise in our schools.
Music has two distinct places: the spiritual, which is
elusive and intangible, and the formal, which is definite and
exact. It goes without saying that the child, to be edu-
cated in music, must have a sufficient experience in both of
these phases. Hence, there are two tests to be applied to
his musical education, which are satisfactory and final,
First: 'he shall sing his song as naturally as a bird flies, with
the utmost freedom and grace. Second: that he shall read
at sight and shall understand the construction of song.
REAL ART IS A UNITY
Music is the expression of emotions and feeling
through the medium of certain forms and elements
Each of these phases—the spiritual and the formal—
is a com.Dlement of the. other and not a contradic-
tion; and it is only by recognition of the separate func-
tions of the two phases, and by their combined action in the
training of the child, that he can be properly developed
musically.
Some one has said: "In music every element has two
conditions: It may be lifeless, inert, isolated; or living,
as when several notes if grouped together make a melody."
A child may have a complete knowledge of "elements"
and yet may remain unmoved by song, and absolutely insen-
3h1
sible to its inspiration. And it-is this problem which has
confronted us, the teachers of Barnstable. To teach art
rather than mere technicalities, has been our work this year.
VOICE TRAINING
Of primary.importance is the work of voice training.
Every boy and girl in the schools of Barnstable has been
given the opportunity to 'cultivate liis or her voice, the
speaking as well as the singing voice. And much stress
has been laid on daily exercises to stimulate more perfect
articulation, and correct placing of tone. One of the first
steps in this direction was to instill into the minds of the
pupils the importance of keeping the'nasal passages''clean
and'open; that deep breathing might be established.
For the benefit 'of the citizens of Barnstable who may'
be interested to follow step by step the work laid out and
accomplished in each grade throughout the year 1911-12, 1
will give an* outline of each teacher's work which, for the
most part, has been successfully followed—where the work
has not been done, it is, owing, to the necessary break in-
volved in change of teachers.
Work accomplished in the 1st,year of. School:
I. SONGS BY JMITATION. ,
The first thing we, did with those of the first grade,.was
to teach them a song by note-a song all:on one tone of the,
• scale. The object of this method is to encourage the un-
musical child.'and to prove 'to him that he can make the
same sound that his neighbor, the natural singer, pro- "
duce's.
After the song is learned—and every pupil in the class
can sing that one tone in bell-like quality, and in perfect
rhythm,—a song on two tones of the scale is studied, in the
same manner; then three tones, and so on until the whole "
eight tones of the scale have been mastered. By this time
342
every child in the class can sing the scale, and the objection-
able monotone of the unmusical is eliminated.
II. RECOGNITION
The next step is the representation of the staff on the
board. The songs already learned by note (imitation) are
now put on the board for recognition, and sung at sight.
III. NOTATION
I
Scale songs and simple exercises in 2-4, 4-4 time are
written on the board, and sung readily at this stage.
From the beginning—the very first lesson, in fact—we
work for pure, "round" tone. With the upper, grades we
work unceasingly in. this direction; but with our little
ones we have only to watch carefully our own tones, for,
children are little imitators—the child voice responds with
charming frankness to the influence of its teacher. Hence,
it behooves every grade teacher to make a study of and
give special attention to the placing of her tone.
IV. RHYTHM
From the first the teacher has marked "time" by her
own emphasis with pointer, or free bodily movements, which
the children have unconsciously imitated; but at the be-
ginning of the last half of the year come a few technicali-
ties—a few fundamental principles to cover a large part of
the ground already gone over. To "teach the thing before,
the sign" is a well-known principle of pedagogy.
A summary, then, of our first year's work—the most im-
portant year of all—is as follows:
GRADE I.
A repertoire of art (or note) songs rendered with pure
tone and proper expression; and an appreciation and under-
standing of all first-grade principles, i. e.: sight reading in
2-4, 3-4,_4-4 time.
'3h3
GRADE II.
I believe the only new feature this year of the work of
grade II has been the close following of Samuel W. Cole's
methods in sight reading, which I consider exceptionally
good. Our songs have been taken, for the most part, from
Silver Song Series, No. I. Each song being prepared by a
system of interval drill or "skips" which occur in the song.
These skips are written on the board and practiced daily as
a preparation for the reading of the song. when ac-
curacy is accomplished, the song is dictated by the teacher,
then written on the board, and sung by syllable.
The grade teachers express themselves as being agree-
ably disappointed with the results of this method, and are
pleased to find, that in cousequenee. of its correct teaching
their second grade pupil can read at sight 2-4, 3-4, 4-4, 6-8
two-part music with great accuracy. Rounds, and two
part songs from the First Reader, together with daily drill
of vocal exercises comprise the work of the second grade.
GRADES III and IV.
On account of the crowded conditions of the schools our
third and fourth grades have studied together, consequently
the work covered has been a review of third grade princi-
ples with the essentials of fourth grade.
The aim has been to develop an understanding of
"tempo," an appreciation of rhythm; and a careful training,
of the ear. The writing of simple exercises in 2-4, 3-4, 4-4
time, and the writing of scales has been,done with accuracy
and intelligence.
The latter part of the year simple chromatics will be
introduced.
GRADES V and VI.
Grades V. and VI, are for the above named reason taken
944
together. In this class we take up 6-part measure; and be-
gin the study of chromatics in earnest. Three-part work is
introduced; also compound time.
GRADES VII, VIII, IX.
While in grades VII, VIII and IX we are doing chorus
work almost exclusively, still the teachers are untiring in
their efforts at constant review of first principles. The.
development of the major scale, and the study of the minor
mode together with a little elementary harmony and musi-
cal form comprises the work accomplished in these grades
during the year:
The work of teaching music in the public schools is
unquestionably a missionary movement, and no one.should
undertake it who is not prepared to give much time, thought
and effort over and above that for which he is paid. The
nature of the work calls forth the best that is in one. To
realize that only about one per cent. of the popula
tion of our United States has a formal education beyond the
age of 14, and that the musical instruction that is given
during this period is, for most people, all the training that
they ever receive on the subject—to know this spurs one,
(who loves his art and loves also his fellowman) ,on. to
working with one's whole soul to establish in the.heart~ .
and minds of the corning generation the love. for,. and ,ap-
preciation of the greatest of all the arts—Music.
Excepting, perhaps, for the work done by the High
Schools, which. have so little time to devote to music, I can
cheerfully state that I am satisfied with the results of our
y-ar's labors, ands I wish to thank my fellow teachers, in-
d.ivid.ually and collectively, for their faithfulness in carrying
out my ideas; and for their hearty response to my de-
mands.
To the Principal of the Barnstable High School and to
our Superintendent I can say only that their appreciation
345
and sympathetic co-operation have proved a stimulant to
me, and hence a promotion to the work.
Respectfully yours,
FRANCES LOUISE STOCKTON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
TO MR. GEO. H. GALGER, Superintendent of Schools :
Last year's record in drawing was marked by increased
power and interest on the part of the pupils and by the
efficient and cheerful cooperation of the teachers.
Progress has been seriously retarded in several schools
by the long continued presence of scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough. Drawing cannot be given by absent treatment
and children who are kept from school by illness or who lose
weeks during the cranberry season can not keep pace with
their class-mates. An unusual number of changes oc-
curred among the teachers, and such changes are rarely
without effect on the drawing. New teachers who propose
to stay soon adapt themselves to existing conditions. But
this work suffers in the Bands of substitutes or teachers
without knowledge of drawing. The skilled teacher can dr.
good work without the sup rvisor, and half the supervisor's
strength is in her teachers.
Too great stress cannot be laid upon the value to the
child and to the community of retaining well trained, broad-
minded teachers,—men and women who know the conditions
of rural schools and can adapt themselves to their environ-
ment and grasp its splendid possibitities of service.
I have stated in previous reports that it is a delight to
teach the responsive children of this town. As I watch
these boys and girls continuing their studies in higher in-
stitutions or beginning to do the world's work, I am moved
to beg that they shall be in no way handicapped by defici:nt
preparation for the strenuous life of our times. Give them a
chance to enter the twentieth century arena able to com-
pete with the city-bred student or worker. Times have
changed and their demands must be met.
I believe that parents are more vitally interested than
educators in the problems of readjustment now confronting
847
its and that it is the duty and privilege of parents to aid in
settling what are the essentials that must be taught in our
schools. Are there not ways and means by which in most
country homes the work of the school can be strengthened
and extended and the home and school brought into closer
relations?
One hour and a half per week is allotted for drawing,
and all this time is needed for drawing itself and for work-
ing out its problems,—that is making simple objects in wood
whenever this can be done by the boys or by the use of
ornamental designs by the girls for practical purposes in the
home.
Can an additional hour per week be taken from the.more
abstract studies for teaching sewing and the use of carpen-
ters' tools, as is done in Yarmouth?
Our present handicraft work is done in November and
December. Then the drawing periods in every grade are
devoted to the making of interesting objects. The ex-
cellence of these objects depends upon careful planning,
accuracy of execution and upon the taste and skill shown
whenever lettering or simple ornament can be properly
added. The results last December were gratifying, show-
ing in many cases marked gain over the work of preceding
years and justifying the outlay of time and strength.
Bench work at Barnstable was resumed last winter
through the interest of the principal, Mr. Hopkins. Boys
take turns in working with him while the supervisor gives
the drawing lesson to the remainder of the class.
A work bench and model stand have been made and a
tool cabinet is now being built.. This work has been
carried on with enthusiasm and a good degree of success in
spite of difficult conditions. Cotuit grammar school has a
room well adapted for wood-work, waiting for a complete
equipment. Last spring a bench was made and some good .
work done by each boy and girl in the grammar school with
the few tools provided.
�h8
Systematic instruction could be profitably given in this
building under its present principal.
The room over the hall in the Cotuit high school, has
been fitted up for drawing and bench work and when it is
completely furnished we can state with pride that very few
country high schools can offer as good opportunities for work
in the manual arts as the Elizabeth Lowell school.
Barnstable high school this year sent its students whc
had specialized in drawing to Wentworth Institute and the
Normal Art School, where all are making good.
At present all the Barnstable high school pupils who
are required to study drawing are working with interest
and enthusiasm. The members of the junior class who
elect drawing have done good work in applied design, and
the seniors are enjoying a course in picture study. Our
present teacher of science expects each pupil to draw readily
the picture or diagram needed in zoology, chemistry or
physics.
This demand for clear truthful drawings to illustrate
the structure and growth of natural forms presents draw-
ing in a new light to many in the entering class and em-
phasizes its practical value. Pupils begin to realize that
drawing is a necessary means of expression for every student
of science, and to work accordingly.
tlll VU-Jlia wiio iiavc auy �uv u�u�i — iu��.—E, w :ur,uw..
school should review drawing in their senior year. This
was one of the conclusions of our late and lamented director
of manual arts, Mr. Frederic L. Burnham, and its wisdom is
evident to all who know the place that drawing holds in the
normal schools today.
Our experiments with our limited equipment for man-
ual training in the basement of Barnstable high school have
proved that the average boy needs systematic instruction
in the use of tools.
Most of the boys who have had no such instruction
have used tools more or less all their lives, yet few of them
349
see the need of making exact plans before they begin to
work, of laying out their work with accuracy, of working
to a line, or saving stock. "About right" satisfies them.
They need thorough training, systematic instruction, that
breaks up slip-shod habits and teaches that right is right.
Inexpensive arrangements could be made by which regu-
lar lessons could be given in this large well lighted base-
ment.
Might not the proper introduction of this form of manual
training go far towards solving the problem of the first year
boy in the high school?
Last spring prizes were offered by Mr. James Otis for
excellence in mechanical and free-hand drawing in all classes
in which drawing was required. These were awarded as
follows:
First year: Mechanical drawing, Harrison Ray Doty;
Freehand, Ralph Milliken.
Second year: Mechanical, Manuel Suzan; Freehand,
Doris Chase.
The influence of this offer was felt by every pupil in
these classes and better average work resulted.
With hearty thanks to all fellow workers whose courtesy
and cooperation have aided, the work of this department this
report is
Respectfully submitted,

HISTORY OF THE ALMSHOUSE
To the Overseers of the Poor and the Citizens of Barnstable:
Realizing that few of the people of Barnstable know anything
of the*history or management of the Almshouse, perhaps a brief
sketch may be of interest to them. '
One hundred and fifty-eight years ago there lived in Barn-
stable a young man who, though feeble in body, but strong in
mind, according to his will made Nov. 13th, 1754, gave to his
sister, Sarah Cloghan, 66£, to his pastor, Jonathan Russell, 5£,and
to his loving neighbor, Wm. Ebenezer Childs, 59, and named him
as his executor. These amounts were to be paid from his per-
sonal property; his real estate he gave to the Town of Barnstable
for the support of the Poor "from one generation to another for
ever" and never to be sold. So by the will of the young man,
Parker Lumbart, who died Dec. 27, 1754, the property became an
l Almshouse one hundred and fifty-eight years ago.
. The Farm extends from the brook crossing the Osterville and
Cotuit road south of the Railroad Station to the creek .in the
great marshes called the "Town Dock." Much of the Farm is
swamp and meadow land—about twenty acres are cleared land and
cultivated as pasture and grass land. .
The soil is a heavy clay and suitable for hay only. A good
garden is maintained yearly. The stock of the Farm consists
at the present time of one horse, three cows, two,hogs, and about
eighty hens, and the product from the cows and hens is all the
income received.
The barn, sheds and other buildings are convenient and sub-
stantial.
The house, as near as can be learned, is not the original in
which Mr. Lumbart lived—the original stood more to the north,
and the present house was built aljout a hundred years ago. It
is solid and. in good repair and consists of twenty-five rooms.
The Inmates' part consists of dining-room, sitting-room, kitchen,
washroom and sixteen sleeping rooms with eighteen beds.
In 1911 the Overseers installed one of the best water plants to
s-2
10
be had—a two-horse power Fairbanks & Morse gasoline engine
and a Gould double acting pump forcing the water from a driven
well in the basement to a tank in the attic holding six hundred and
twenty gallons. From there it runs through brass pipes to all
parts of the house, supplying two bathrooms, two closets, three
lavatories and a long sink where the Inmates wash.
In the last year the house received two good coats of paint and
was thoroughly repaired, and it is today in a good and attractive
condition.
The House is under the care and supervision of the Overseers,
and kept by a Warden and his wife as Matron, who have been
here five years. It is also inspected the first of each month by the
house physician, J. Haydn Higgins, who is a member of the
Board of Health, and by the State Inspector, Francis Bardwell of
Sherborn, annually.
Outside of those mentioned above, the Inmates have received
only fourteen visitors during the year, although fourteen of them
have relatives in town.
The Inmates are well cared for, supplied with warm clothing,
good beds and plenty of good wholesome food. The Overseers
have always been ready to co-operate with the Warden, helping
him in every way possible, and are more than generous in their
supplies, and it gives us great pleasure to know that the House as
a whole stands first in the State.
There are many days that'are looked forward to by the In-
mates as "Red Letter Days"—they are the Fourth of July, Thanks-
giving and Christmas, when the Inmates are remembered by their
friends and especially by the King's Daughters of Hyannis, who
never forget them.
Religious services are held every last Sunday in the month,
and are looked forward to with great anticipation. But little
sickness has visited the house during the last year. In the early
spring one old lady,eighty-four years of age,had pneumonia,but she
is in good health now.
As a whole they are as happy and contented as it is possible
to be away from home and friends.
The statistics are as follows:
Whole number of Inmates for 1912 22
Largest number at one time 17
Smallest number at one time 13
Present number 16
Average number 14+
11
Ages:
Between 80 and 90 5
70 " 80 4
60 " 70 3
" 50 " 60 3
" 0 " 50 1
The average number of Inmates in the State is eight and the
average salary paid the Warden is $480 and taking twenty houses
whose town population is eight thousand and less, the general
expense of this house is only $36 above.the average, although our
average of Inmates is almost double. The cost of board for each
Inmate taking the expense of 1911 as a basis is $3.44 per week, less
than many other smaller houses.
Taken as a whole I think the Barnstable Almshouse is an
institution in the Town of which the people should be proud.

MILK INSPECTOR'S REPORT
Marstons Mills, Jan. 28, 1913
To the Board of Health of Barnstable,
Gentlemen:
It once more becomes my duty to report to you, my
work on Milk inspection.
There has been one conviction for selling watered milk.
There have been 39 cow stables white-washed, and 15
new windows added.
I have issued 168 licenses, and have made 255 dairy in-
spections.
Too much praise cannot be given the sediment tester
you allowed me to buy., If the average layman is told of
the number of bacteria in a certain quantity of milk, it is
hard for him to realize its importance.
But when I can go to the back of a man's cart, and in
one minute, with the tester can show him how much, or
how little dirt there is in his milk, it is something that he
can see, and fully appreciate; and as milk is considered
the dirtiest food that is taken into the stomach, we should
try to have it as clean as we can, and that is what I am
trying to do for the town.
A state inspector has visited the town twice; and
visited several of the dairies each time.
After the second inspection, he reported to the State
Board of Health an improvement of 21 per cent. over the
first; showing that the milk conditions are improving, and
that by education, rather than coercion,
113
It seems that there is some simple method by which
the consumers could be taught the value of milk as a food.
And when 'it is fully understood how much cheaper it is
than most other foods we buy, food value considered, there
will be much more milk consumed than there is today.
Many people have. the idea that when milk has been
skimmed, that about all of the food value has been taken
away; but only the fat has been removed, which is a
small part of the food value, and many people who cannot
drink whole, milk, might be able to drink skimmed inilk,
and it be very very beneficial to them.
Very respectfully,
GEO. T. MECARTA,
Milk Inspector

BARNS:1'ABLE VILLAGI+. AND OS'I'ERVILLE
The most important advances in school facilities for
many years were accomplished during the ,year at Barn-
stable Village and. at Osterville.
The school building at Barnstable village was entirely
reconstructed. The roof was extended and raised, to two
stories in the front, the entire interior remodeled., four
rooms, three finished., replacing two, an additional stack
built, a second furnace and a small steam heater installed,
the original basement deepened and a second basement
built for the girls. The building is now well lighted,
heated and ventilated, conforming to all legal requirements.
The inauguration of an intermed.iate-school, made possible
by the third room, is already proving its value.
The new four-room school building at Osterville is,
without doubt, by far the best constructed building of its
kind in the county of Barnstable. The design of the build-
ing, the quality of the work and. materials, its complete
equipment, fulfilling the most modern requirements, marl:
an era in the school history of the town of Barnstable.
Should the work of the boys and girls show as great an
improvement as does the new building over the old., the
town will be repaid many times over for its expenditure.
TRANSPOl TA'1TION
The increased expenditures for transportation were due
chiefly, to an increase in the number of train scholars and
increased cost of service on the Cotuit-Santuit, West Barn-
129
stable, ancI Hyannisport routes. Few complaints have been
received during the year.
ENROLi1IENT, ATTENDANCE, ETC.
The total enrolment for 19.1.1-1912 showed a slight de-
crease from that of the preceding year, while the percentage
of daily attendance showed an increase. But little truancy
occurred. during the year, one village which has given much
trouble in that direction in the past, showing a marked ini-
provement.
The enrolinent for the fall. term of 191.2 was consider-
ably greater than that for the same period. in 1911. The
present membership of the lower grades is about twenty-
five per cent. greater than that of six or seven ,years ago
and points to an increased membership in the upper grade
in the near future.
RESIGNAT:I:ONS ANI) APPOINTMENTS
Resignations the past year were fortunately relatively
few, but as was to be expected, they were from. teachers or
marked. ability and. success. The teachers who either re-
signed. or declined re-election were Le Roy _1,L Handy,
Elizabeth Lowell High School; R. B. Houghton, West
Barnstable. Grammar School; Diary illcConnel, Centerville
Primary School; iMabel R.. Coombs, seventh. grade, Train-
ing School; Frances L. Stockton., Supervisor of 11lusic.
Mrs. Addie G. Crosby of Osterville, who for more than
thirty years had given splendid service to the town, applied•
for and was granted a year's leave of absence.
The following teachers, trained as indicated, were ap-
pointed to fill the above vacancies:
B. W. Sanderson, Bates College, Elizabeth Lowell High
School;'Taintor Parkinson, Dartmouth College, West Barn-
stable Gramniar School; 1lIindwell A. Littlefield., Hyannis
Normal School, Centerville Primary School; Russell Scott,

Oxford University, seventh grade, 'Training School; 1A.
Genieve Leonard, Hyannis Normal School, Osterville Pri-
mary School; Sylenda B. Morris, New England Conservatory
of Music, Supervisor of. Music. Ellen J. Ormsby, Hyannis
Normal School, was appointed teacher of the newly or-
ganized intermediate room at Barnstable village.
All the new appointees had had professional training and
successful experience.
REPORTS OF SUPERVISORS AND PRINCIPALS
Attention is called to the reports of the various super-
visors and principals. "On the firing line" daily, and in
direct contact with the pupils, they know intimately the
conditions and needs of their several departments.
SCHOOL FINANCES
The close of the fiscal year of 1911 showed an unex-
pended balance of $231.90 in the school department. 1912
shows a deficiency of $792.77, due to expend.ittlres for re-
pairs and for fuel considerably exceeding the estimates.
SUMMARY OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES, 1912.
Total Available Balance or
Appropriations ExpPnditnres Deficiency
School Purposes, $25,221 61 $25,288 39 -$66 78
Text-books and supplies, 1,600 00 1,598 03 +1 97
Repairs, 1,500 00 2,034 51 —534 51
Transportation, 4,650 00 4,843 45 —193 45
Totals, $32,971 61 $33,764 38 —$792 77
ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES.
In spite of an excess expenditure for fuel of $580..15 over
131
the estimate; the total expenditures for "School Purposes"
overran the amount available by only $66.78. That a larger
deficiency did not occur was due to the fact that the mis-
cellaneous receipts (dog tax, tuition, etc.), exceeded the
estimates by $221.61, and that no attempt was made to make
the small increase in the salaries of grade teachers of three
or more years' service suggested in last year's report.
An unexpended balance of $1.97 remained from -the
appropriation. for "Text-books and Supplies."
The excess expenditure of $193.45 for "Transportation"
was due to the causes mentioned under that head.
The regular salary schedule for the elementary schools is
at present as follows:
Grade teachers; first year $405, second year $450, third
year and after $495. Grammar principals; first year $675,
second year $720, third year $765. The schedule is not
ironclad. Under this schedule five teachers became entitled
to an increase of $5.00.per month last September. Outside
the sch(,dule the salaries of two grammar principals and one
grade teacher were increased $5.00 per month, and that of
the sub-master at the high school $7.50 per month. These in-
creases, and the employment of an additional teacher on full
time at Barnstable village, will call for a total of about$550.
Three weeks to be made up at Barnstable will call for about
$140, while salary increases for janitors at Barnstable vil-
lage, Osterville and Sant.uit will amount to $300, giving a
total of $990 as the probable gross increase for "School
Purposes." From this should be deducted a possible de-
crease of $75 for miscellaneous expenses and of approxi-
mately $250 for fuel, leaving as the probable net increase
needed for "School Purposes," $665. The.appropriation
last year was $24,000. It is impossible to estimate with any
degree of accuracy the probable expense for fuel. The new
buildings at Osterville and Barnstable will undoubtedly con-
sume more coal than the old. The estimate of $2,250 as
the expense for fuel for the present year is probably a
k . ,
:k"
133
mininnrm, and is based on the assumption that the railroad-
coal combine will. graciously omit the creation of an artifi-
cial "shortage" next winter.
The amount needed for "Text-books and Supplies" will
be the same as last year, $1600.
At the present rate .for barge service and the increased
cost per head for railroad transportation, it is probable
that close to $5000 will be needed for "Transportation"
this ,year.. The new regulation in regard to commutation
tickets will. add about 10 per cent. to their cost.
The amount needed .for ordinary repairs will be deter-
?nined at the annual town .meeting.
RANK OF BARNSTABLE IN SCI3OOL APPROPRIA-
TIONS
In the tax for schools, per thousand dollars of valuation,
the .rank of Barnstable is two hundred twenty-fourth, 223
other towns in the Commonwealth taxing themselves more
heavily. The expenditure for text-books and supplies is
$1.75 per pupil, the average expenditure of all other
towns in the. county being $2.39 per pupil. The
figures are derived from the state records of 1.91.1, the latest
available at the time of writing. The expenditure of. the
Town of Barnstable per pupil for books and supplies during
1912 was $1.97.
AN ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR MAINTAINING
GOOD SCHOOLS
With slowly but steadily increasing expenditures in the
school department it is neither a, pleasant nor popular task
to advocate any action tending to a further increase, how-
ever slight. But eleinentary justice requires a plain state-
inent of certain facts vital to the continued well-being of: our
schools. Many of our teachers are paying full city rates

for board, while clothing and all other necessities of life are
abnormally high. Teachers must live fifty-two weeks a
,year, while profitable summer employment is open to only
a very few. Their rate of pay should involve the same
considerations as obtain in other skilled occupations in
which it is not possible to work during all the months of the
,year. Our minimum salary for our grade teachers is be-
low a living wage, our maximum barely such. The town
of Barnstable has kept well to the front among the other
towns of the county in increasing from time to time the
wages of the grade teachers, but the original salaries were
so abnormally low that we have not yet reached the point
where we can afford to stop. One has only to know the
kind of work done and influence exerted by our teachers
who have been longest in service to realize that the re-
tention of good teachers is far and away our most vital and
our most difficult problem. It must be solved, even at con-
siderable, sacrifice, if we are to do our simple duty to the
boys and. girls who are directly dependent on us for the
means which are to enable them to face the problems of
life effectively.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
Real progress in most rural schools is so slowly made
that it is difficult in annual reports to avoid a large amount
of uninteresting repetition.
During the ,year the tendency to concentrate on the
fundamentals, so-called, has been .further developed and
some improvement in concrete results has been shown.
The course in arithmetic has been more closely followed,
with more uniform results.
Much attention has been given to penmanship, the work
in the commercial department of the high school being
especially thorough.
Spelling is taught: from the words in daily use by the
136
pupils, supplemented by the "Boston Word List," "Spauld-
ing and Mil.ler's Speller" and "Aiton's Descriptive Speller,"
and tests given seem to indicate fair proficiency, in spite of
occasional grotesque misspellings of common words.
The system of reading now in use is gaining in pop-
ularity with the teachers and in the quality of the results
obtained.. In upper grade reading no essential changes in
content or methods have been made.
Prince's Practical. English Grammar has been adopted
for the eighth and ninth grades. Mr. Prince's long and
intimate acquaintance with actual school conditions and
school limitations and his exceptional clearness of thought
and directness of aim are reflected in the qualities of his
text-boot:, and it is hoped that its intelligent use will lessen.
the causes for complaint, which, from time immemorial, high
school teachers have alleged to exist. Just what consti-
tutes a reasonable grammatical equipment for a grammar
school graduate, however, is a question which even the
Supreme Court itself might well approach with fear and
trembling.
Following in general the plan of the "Committee of
Eight," in its report on the study of history, Gordy's
"American Beginnings in Europe" has been adopted for
the seventh grade. The scheme is a somewhat experi-
mental and difficult one and its successful accomplishment
will call for a high degree of skill and a large fund .of
common sense in the teacher. No subject is more difficult
to teach well and none more important to good citizenship to
so teach than history, and that, and its allied subject, civics,
should receive far more effort and thought than are com-
monly given them.
MUSIC AND DRAWING
The splendid wort: of our Supervisor of Drawing, extend-
ing its inf pence far beyond the technical limits of her sub-
137
ject, is too well known to grateful pupils and parents to
need any words of commendation here.
Progress in music is greatly interfered with by the con-
stant change in instructors. The work is extremely hard
and we are able to retain competent supervisors only a year
or two at most. Our present Supervisor is trying hard to
unify the work throughout the town and is receiving;the
hearty co-operation of the teachers.
THE STATE BOARD AND RURAL SCHOOLS
One of the most vital factors making for progress in our
rural schools is the work of the present State Board of.
Education. Long and valuable training and experience,
and personal investigation of rural school conditions, have
made it possible for the Board to render most effective ser-
vice yin the direction of suggestions for improving and
strengthening our country schools all along the line. The
various courses of study, carefully prepared under the
direction of the Board, by practical school workers, prom-
ise to be of high value to teachers in their daily work and
in obtaining more uniform and satisfactory results than
have been possible in the past. These courses are being
gradually adopted by our Barnstable schools, with 'such
modifications as local conditions seem to demand.
THE MOST VITAL DEFECT IN THE RURAL SCHOOL
PROGRAM
Education for good citizenship involves three funda-
mental aims, namely, to secure to the individual
Physical. health and strength,
Mental and moral power,
Ability to earn a livelihood.
That the first two aims are directly the work of the
public schools all. agree; as to the third some difference of
B-10
0
138
opinion exists. Yet the ability and the will honestly to
earn a livelihood constitute the first essential of good citizen-
ship and public safety. Under modern conditions, how-
ever, few industries and still fewer homes offer to children
the kind of systematic training leading to such ability.
Our ,young people must obtain such training in the public
schools or postpone it beyond the time when it can most
effectually be given, and suffer thereby a lifelong handicap.
Many city schools, forced by strong social and economic
pressure and by the law, are providing such training in
varied forms, but the great majority of country schools,
deadened by the inertia, of custom and crippled by financial
stringency, are doing practically nothing in this direction.
Yet in many country communities, the support of public
sentiment once accorded, something of real value could be
done, though the work would. have to be simple, confined
to a few lines and inexpensive. Refusing such training
deprives the country boy and girl of one of their most
important and fundamental rights and makes for in-
dividual. .fa,ilure and inefficient citizenship.
MEDICAL INSPECTION
Besides performing his regular duties as School Physi-
cian with his accustomed faithfulness, Dr. J. Haydn
Biggins has given particular attention the past year to the
individual child manifesting abnormal features, whether
mental, moral or physical, and his careful diagnoses and
wise advice to teachers and parents have resulted in treat-
ment of a most helpful and promising character in the case
of many children whose future has heretofore seemed most
dubious. Under the influence of school physicians, schools
generally are giving much more thought and effort than in
the past to questions of practical hygiene and the treat.
went of "defective" children.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
An experiment, which may prove an aid in solving the
difficult problem of maintaining, among those staying at
home, vigor, enterprise and efficiency, in a community con-
stantly losing a large proportion of its most energetic young
men to the cities, is now being tried in the town of Har-
wich. An Agricultural High School Department has been
established. Five towns contribute pupils, and financial
and other aid is received from both the state and national.
governments. An outline of the work offered is given
below:
OUTLINE OF COURSES IN THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF
THE HARWICH HIGH SCHOOL.
A. Agricultural Science.
This Course consists of a broad general text book study
of agricultural principles and practices. The topics in-
clude the composition and structure of plants and animals,
their growth, improvement, feeding and management; the
chemical, physical and biological properties of soils and
fertilizers; the origin of soils and the maintenance of soil.
.fertility; horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry; cereal, forage
and fiber crops; fruit and vegetable growing and forestry,
insect pests, plant diseases, farm management, the farm
home and community.
Two or three text books will be covered during the
four years' course.
B. Project Study.
1. Kitchen Gardening—An elementary course, serving
as an introduction to the more advanced courses in plant
production. A study of the location, soil requirements and
plans of a garden; seed selection, seed testing, choice of
varieties, planting, fertilizing, and cultivation of fruits and
vegetables adapted to a family garden. Attention will also
be given to Ornamental planting and home improvement
such as improvement of lawns, planting of shrubbery, and
shade trees, dowering plants, construction of hot beds, etc.
140
This course will be given even years ending 1912, 1914,
1916, etc. It will alternate with the course in Poultry
which is given odd years.
2. Poultry—A course introducing the study of domestic
animals. Poultry rearing as a business, breeds, breeding,
incubation, brooding, rearing, feeding, fattening, killing,
picking, packing and marketing of poultry and poultry
products. Poultry buildings and equipment, home grown
crops for poultry, kinds, quantities, seeds, soils, rotations,
tillage, harvesting and storing. This course will be given
odd years ending 1913, 1915, 1917, etc.
3. Commercial Fruit Growing—Orcharding and small
fruits not before dealt with. Soil and climatic adaptations,
varieties, propagation, planting, pruning, spraying, picking,
grading, packing, storing and marketing of fruit.
Market Gardening—A study of the important vegetable
crops ad.aptad to the region, their requirements, adaptation,
varieties, culture, enemies, harvesting, storing, marketing,
seed selection and improvement.
Farm Machinery—Implements and buildings used in
Fruit growing and market gardening, their cost, construc-
tion and use.
These courses to be given to Juniors and Seniors in
even years.
4. Farm Animals—IIorses, cattle, sheep and swine;
judging, breeding, feeding, management, sanitation and
disease. Milk production, testing, handling, and market-
ing.
Farm Buildings and Equipment—Conveniences, plans,
construction and upkeep.
Farm Crops—Cereal and forage crops for feed, and for
sale, rotations, cultivation, harvesting, etc.
Farm Meehanies and Engineering—Purchase, operation
and care of farm machinery including gasoline engines, out-
fits for water supply and sewage disposal, concrete mixing
and construction, elementary surveying and mapping the
farm.
Farm Management—This course considers the farm as
a whole, and the relation of the different enterprises such
as fruit growing, gardening and stock raising to one an-
other; types and systems of farming, selection and pur-
chase of a farm, forms of tenure; layout of farm, amount,
and distribution of capital, cost accounting, efficient use
141
of labor, machinery, and horses, preparation and plans for
the organization and management of specific farms.
This enterprise will be watched with friendly interest
by well-wishers of the future of the Cape.
HIGH SCHOOLS
The intense and earnest endeavors which have charac-
terized the work of our high school teachers the past year
have not been without result and there has been a notice-
able increase in seriousness of purpose and power of appli-
cation on the part of a large majority of the pupils.
The reconstruction of the high school program is pro-
ceeding slowly. At Hyannis, beginners are offered four
years of Latin or German or of both. The present French
classes will take the French planned .for originally, pos-
sibly more. The freshman class will. have one term of
general history. The vexed problem of the first year's
program is not yet satisfactorily solved; educational au-
thorities differing widely thereon. Its solution will be a
matter of experiment and time.
Through the inspiration of their instructors and by the
co-operation of parents a notable proportion of the grad-
uates of the Barnstable High School continues to fit for
lives of broader usefulness by entering higher institutions.
At the Elizabeth Lowell High School the regular pro-
gram is being somewhat closely adhered to. Until some
further modifications in college requirements shall be made,
the changes needed in the program of this school to render
it of greater practical value to many of its pupils must pro-
bably be postponed. A marked improvement has taken
place in the spirit of the school during the last few years,
and its graduates who have entered the profession of teach-
ing are doing notably good work.
142
A PRESENT NEED.
The vexing and difficult problem of the revision of the
conventional course of studies characteristic of the rural
high school is now receiving much attention. The need
of such revision, now admitted even by the most conser-
vative, has become constantly more imperative, as profound
and rapid changes in industrial, social and political life
make themselves apparent. The old program offered good
disciplinary training under a good teacher, but it attempted
too many languages, its mathematical work was too formal,
it failed to give sufficient attention to modern applied
science, to history and to civics, it prepared its pupils almost
solely to meet scholastic tests rather than the varied tests
of daily life, and only too often the spirit was that of seeking
knowledge and poorer for individual advancement rather
than for service to society. To make a program that will
continue to give the pupil some comprehension of the won-
der and worth of human achievement in the great fields of
literature, art, science and history, and still give that speci-
fic knowledge and training by which lie becomes an effective
and unselfish doer of his natural work in the world, is a
task which will be solved only by patient and long-continued
co-operative effort.
THE HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE
The most significant educational event of the year on the
Cape was the County Conference on the Small High School
held at Hyannis last November, attended by high school
teachers and superintendents representing every town in
Barnstable county. Following a careful personal study
of the high schools of the Cape, Deputy Commissioner Orr '
and State Agent Kingsley summed up the necessary limita-
tions of the small high schools, showing the necessity of
some changes in the program and outlining clearly some of
143
the changes tentatively proposed. The program or "Course
of Studies," as planned is designed to
(1) To give certain elements of education that are needed
by all boys and girls, including those who are going to col-
lege.
(2) To keep in the high school a larger proportion of those
who enter.
(3) To attract many who do not now enter.
(4) To direct boys and girls into those vocations for which
they are adapted and in which they are needed.
(5) To continue to provide "preparation for college."
It is proposed that the work of the first two years shall
aim to provide the best education for pupils of high school
age, whether planning to go to college or not, and that, the
specific preparation for college shall be given largely in the
last two years. In the work of the first two years the aims
are to give the pupil
(1) Appreciation of good literature and practice in writ-
ten and oral expression.
(2) Appreciation of the value of science and practice in
applying its principles.
(3) Appreciation of the value of coinniunity and, collective
activities, and practice in securing first-hand information
concerning such activities.
(4) A thoughtful attitude toward the choice of vocation,
information upon various vocations, and, when possible,
opportunity to test capacity in some particular field.
A tentative four years' course was submitted and is here
given:
First Year
Required:—English, Natural science (introductory), and
social science (community and collective activities).
Elective (select two) :—Practical arts, Algebra or busi-
ness arithmetic, Foreign language.
144
Second Year
Required:—English.
Elective (select three) :Social science (history or
geography), Natural science, Practical arts, Geometry,
Foreign language.
Third Year
Required:—English, a natural science.
Elective (select two) :—Foreign language, English his-
tory or Ancient history, Practical arts.
Fourth Year
Required:—English, United States history and Civics.
Elective (select two) :—Foreign language, Mathematics,
A Natural science.
In addition, the school may provide music, free-hand
drawing and physical training.
Space will not allow a report of the vigorous debate
following the presentation of the above outline. The pro-
gram is receiving the careful and earnest study by teachers
and school officials which its vital importance demands.
During no year of which I have knowledge have the
teachers of Barnstable shown themselves more thoroughly
faithful, conscientious and efficient than in the year just
past. Receiving in the future, as in the past, the co-opera-
tion of the parents and the hearty support of the School
Board, we shall have good reason to look for solid results
in the development of our boys and girls.
Respectfully submitted,
G. H. GALGER.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE ELIZABETH
LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL.
To Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith present the annual report of Elizabeth Lowell
High School.
The small enrollment, so much regretted by last year's
principal, is even smaller this year. Only 22 were registered
at the beginning of the year; and two of these left during
the first month. All the others have attended very
regularly, our average thus far being 94.9 per cent. When
the absence of one pupil means a loss of 5 per cent. in the
percentage, it will be seen that we have an average of only
one absence per day, including some irregularity during the
cranberry season, and on the part of one of those who
dropped out. This shows a good degree of interest, for if
a pupil is not interested he is constantly seeking excuses to
stay away from school—and in the present age, a very small
excuse is usually sufficient.
Bing so small, our school is like a large family, working
together and playing together in a spirit of comradeship,
with no factions or jarring natures to cause discord.
It is, of course, possible to give more attention to the
individual., but with our ample aecommoda-Dons, forty
could be taught as easily as the twenty; for each class is
represented and the same ground must be covered as for a
larger number.
We are following the regular courses closely, the only -
variations being a class of Bookkeeping for the two upper
classes and one in Ancient History for Seniors. The plan
of reading and reporting on one book each month is con-
tinued, and provides a means of becoming acquainted with
English authors and their works, of various periods and
lines of thought. In this way, many books are read which
would not be, if the pupil were left to his own inclinations.
146
Often a taste. for reading is developed where it would not be
accomplished under the analytical treatment necessary in
teaching College Requirements. We also keep in touch
with current history by the use of "Current Events," daily
papers and magazines.
It would seem that we are requiring too much foreign
language for our courses to have a satisfactory balance.
Two years of Modern Language are enough for the aver-
age pupil and a ,year could thus be saved to be devoted to
Science, Mathematics or History. It seems difficult to find
a place for vocational training of any kind under present
eonditions.
During the Fall term we had. the pleasure of a visit from
Mr. Orr of the State Board of Education. An inspector
with Mr.. Orr's kindly nature is sure to be welcome_, what-
ever may be the criticism which follows.
The conference at Hyannis brought together those of us
having similar problems, and suggested a remedy for some
of those which are most perplexing.
I wish to add a wror.d of appreciation for Cotuit Library:
I have .found it unusually complete for a small village, and
being open daily it is always accessible and helpful. Miss
Howard's keen personal interest in the pupils and their
work has been a valuable aid. It is a serious loss to the
school as well. as to the community that circumstances have
compelled her to resign her position here.
We are very fortunate in having Miss Flewelling with
-us for the third year. I am glad of this opportunity to
commend her good work in the school, and. tier active inter-
est in the pupils.
I wish to express my appreciation of the friendly atti-
tude of the pupils as shown in many little Ava.ys and for
the kindly spirit of the townspeople whose interests we
are trying to serve.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAI, OF THE
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL.
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—
I hereby submit to you my report as principal of the
Barnstable high School:
In the year just closed it has been the purpose of the
teachers of this school to make the work if possible more
intensive than that of previous years, to bring the pupils to a
more definite realization of what such work means and to
inspire in them ambition to make the most of their oppor-
tunities.
The present day pupil has somehow come to believe
that work is play and that on the teacher rests all the
responsibility for their progress. Consequently we have
found it no easy task to make the pupil realize that noth-
ing really worth while can be accomplished without hard,
persistent, conscientious daily work; that only by the inde-
pendent mastery of each problem as it presents itself can
he obtain the power to meet the greater problems of school
a.nl life and that power, power to attack and conquer un-
aided one's own life problem is after all one of the greatest,
of attainments. In spite of all difficulties we have held
fast to our purpose. We have tried to check the growing
tendency to depend entirely upon the teacher, to lead the
pupil to think for himself, to have ideas of his own—not
merely to reproduce the thought of others—and I believe
that we are meeting with some measure of success.
SCIENCE .
The work in first year science is arranged with three aims
in view: first, to interest the student in scientific subjects;
second, to encourage observation of natural phenomena;
150
and third, to secure the liberal attitude necessary to under-
stand the scientific facts of every-day experience. Three
subjects are taught during the first year in science. Botany
includes considerable class work out of doors, and en-
deavors to stimulate interest in the growing world of
nature. Physiology in the winter months gives a funda-
m.enta.l understanding of the human body and its conserva-
tion, the study of Hygiene. During the spring term,
Physical Geography will be in These subjects
are well adapted to the beginner, and serve to prepare
tlue way for the somewhat more difficult science work of
the second and third years.
The work in Chemistry includes as much practical work
as is consistent with a course in General Chemistry. Among
the practical subjects considered are water analysis, bleach-
ing and dyeing, and various technical operations employed
in industrial chemistry.
Three seniors are doing advanced work in applied
chemistry, which includes analysis of foods, soil analysis,
and a study of bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, including Work
with a, compound microscope.
HISTORY AND OERMAN.
The freshman course in English History has been sup-
plemented by a course in (General History. The two
courses continue throughout the year. The present classes
in History have shown considerable ability.
A new German Grammar is being used with the beginners
in German. The book presents the essential features of
the so-called New or Direct Method, and was highly ap-
proved by the visitor from the State Board of Education.
Two divisions in the first ,year class result in more personal
attention to each pupil.
The senior class in German are interested in a German
Magazine and before the end of the year they will be read-
ing Scientific German.
WALTER S. ATWOOD.

ENGLISH.
That it has been possible this year to increase the num-
ber of hours given to English, has been most gratifying.
Thus, more time has been devoted to grammar and to
composition.
It has not been proved satisfactorily that the ordinary
pupil acquires by instinct the technical knowledge of his
mother tongue, necessary to express himself. On the con-
trary, it is not until a thorough knowledge of the common
elements of English grammar, gained by constant drill ex-
tending over many years, has become a second habit to
him, that he can be expected to be able to grasp the prin-
ciples necessary to state his thoughts clearly. With this
as a necessary foundation, it is not, however, until he has
learned by constant practice in oral and written work, how
great is the power that lies within himself to express agree-
ably to his fellow beings the multiple interests making up
his own personality, that he can become fully awakened
to that same power in others. This consciousness once
present, leads on to wider outlooks. It awakens an in-
terest in,,and an ability to choose the best in thought that
is being put forth today, and it brings out a sympathetic
understanding for the best that the past has given.
It is with the above aims in view; namely, that the
pupil may learn to express himself readily, and that he
may grow into his rightful heritage, as an heir to all the
ages, that the teachers, heartily co-operating, are endeavor-
ing to strengthen.the English Course.
LENA B. NUTTER.
CODIMEBCIAL SUB MCTS.
The general. aim of this department wbich was outlined
in the last report, still remains essentially the same, ex-
cepting as the progress of the past year has lifted and
broadened it.
152
As a step toward the fulfillment of a desire to extend
the efficiency of the course, the number of hours given each
week of the present year to the purely commercial subjects
has been increased, as indicated by- the comparative sche-
dule given below.
. Number of periods offered weekly in the following sub-
jects during the years 1911 and 1912
Fourth year Stenography 4 5
" " Typewriting 3 5 .
Bookkeeping 4 5
Third year Stenography 2 5
" " Typewriting 2 5
Total 15 25
This change, by means of which the work of the depart-
ment has been greatly strengthened, was made possible by
doubling the third year typewriting classes with those in
other subjects, thus conducting two recitations in the same
room at once. In spite of the advantages of this arrange-
ment it is by no means an ideal one. Because of conflict
in individual programs, there is hardly a period during the
day when the machines are not in operation. Obviously,
the resultant noise places considerable nervous strain upon
the pupils reciting in other subjects. It is true, also, that
the typewriting classes have less personal attention than
formerly, but this is more than offset by the power gained
in additional practice. The third year pupils are doing
remarkably good work in typewriting.
As shown by the foregoing table, our course in steno-
graphy and typewriting is now equal, in number of recita-
tion periods, at least, to that of the city high schools.
As a further step toward a better all-round equipment,
a much-needed course in penmanship was introduced last
spring for the benefit of the first-year pupils. This prac-
tice has been continued three periods weekly up to the pres-
153
ent time, the object being to attain an easy, .rapid, and
legible style of writing.
Given entering pupils who possess a knowledge of the
elements of English grammar and composition; who have
acquired a reasonably generous vocabulary, including an
acquaintance with phonics; who have gained an accurate
knowledge of arithmetical processes; who have attained
facility in the proper use of pen and pencil; and who are
prepared to supplement this fundamental knowledge by
faithful heed: to direction, and by intensive, unremitting
effort, we should certainly be able to fit them well for such
positions as they may secure.
However, as a success factor, the best of courses can
never wholly take the place of definite, steady endeavor.
A fellow teacher used to say that if we could awaken early
in our pupils the deep earnestness of purpose necessary for
the accomplishment of things most worth while, we could
well-nigh assure their success. It is encouraging to-notice
that here and there in our midst are pupils who consciously
possess this quality-, and, indeed, throughout the depart-
ment the students, as a whole, work with patience and cheer-
fulness. There seems to be a growing sense of respect-
ful regard for fellow classmates and their work, reflected
possibly from a dawning realization of the part each has
in the great whole. In working with them, this unity of
interest is shown by their friendly desire to co-operate and
the elimination of undesirable friction. Certainly the con-
ditions present are conducive to the development of well-
equipped, effective office assistants who possess "That ag-
gregation of virile and decent qualities which we group
together under the name of character."
LUELLA R. LYON.
B=11
Believing that some knowledge of the history of past
civilization is an aid to an understanding of other studies
in the school curriculum, a course in General History for
the first year class is being conducted by NIr. Atwood.
At the beginning of the fall term, German was substi-
tuted for French in the second-year class.
The Alumni Association at its December meeting re-
minded us of its continued interest in the school by a gift
of fifteen dollars for the purchase of a picture to be placed
in the main room.
At no time has a better school spirit existed than at
present. An increasing number of pupils look upon their
teachers as friends and helpers rather than as taskmasters.
Among the teachers themselves there is the heartiest co-
operation.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT ON THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
To Air. George H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
In response to your kind invitation I am glad to submit
through you a few words regarding the Training School
for the consideration of my fellow citizens.
PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
The demand of the times is more and more for practical
results. More and more, everything, whether it be im-
plement, organ or institution is being tested by the question,
is it doing the work for which it was intended; does it
function?
Modern education cannot claim exemption from such
tests. Nor does modern education which is worthy the
name attempt to avoid the issue. On the contrary, one of
the principal issues which modern education claims for its
own, is directly along this line.
It considers the child and his needs and then examines
the school to see whether it is doing its legitimate part
toward ministering to these needs. Nearly all of the
changes which are coming into our schools are caused by
attempts to give the children a more practical educa-
tion. This is why cooking and sewing have come into all
schools .which can afford to have them.
COOKING AND SEWING IN THE SCHOOLS.
Among the reasons why cooking and sewing are being
taught in the public schools, four occur to me as of primary
importance, viz.-
1. Every girl ought to be able to cook and sew.as a pros-
pective home-maker.
2. The training of the hands is a very important part of
education.
159
3. When properly taught these subjects afford valuable
mental training.
4. In connection with these subjects the pupil comes to
see the importance of language, arithmetic and of art
work.
SCHOOI, GARDENING.
Training quite similar to the above is obtained by the
boys in their school garden work. In connection with. this
work eighth grade boys raise vegetables, sell them, make
.out bills, bank money and checks,'draw money from the.
bank with checks, and in fact, learn all of the ordinary
business forms in doing their own business.
The amount of time spent in the garden is very small.
During the whole school year only about fifteen to twenty
school hours are so spent, but the good effect upon the other
school work is, we believe, very great.
EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF SCMOOL.
Nearly everyone who is not a pedagogue or a preacher
knows that the best part of his education, that part which he
uses in everyday life with which to do his business, was
obtained outside of schoolrooms. Much of that which he
did get in the schoolroom has not been used and so has been
sloughed off and forgotten. He also, knows that if the
education which he got outside of school could have been
supplemented by the education which the school might have
given him he would be better off than he now is.
MODERN EDUCATION.
Now modern education is trying to do just this kind of
connecting up of the education outside of school with that
inside of school., so that he will find his school work more
real, more vital, more worth while.
To do really good work one must have the right attitude
toward it. He must see that it is worth while, that it
really amounts to something and that it amounts to some-
thing for himself. ,
160
ARTIFICIAL SCHOOL WORD.
Much of our school work is artificial and dead because
the problems to be solved are the same old problems which
have been solved over and over again and always without
effecting any change in the school life. The children are
apt to feel much as prisoners who remove stones from part
of a yard only to turn about and move them back. It is
said that the same prisoners will do much more work and
be much happier if they use the same stones in building
their own prison wall.
CHILDREN BUSY AND HAPPY.
We try to keep the children very busy doing things
which seem to them worth while. They do not commit to
memory so many useless facts, but what they learn means
more to them. They are happier in their school work; they
read and study more books than ever before and they know
better how to use the knowledge gained.
Two questions we ask. 1. Are the children growing
in thinking power? 2. Are they growing in the right
attitude toward life?
The proof is found in the amount and quality of work
accomplished and in the spirit of helpfulness developed.
"Learning to do.
Doing to earn.
Earning to live.
Living to serve."
A TIME OF READJUSTMENT.
In a time of such readjustment as is now going on
throughout the world there are certain to be differences of
opinions regarding every change. We must take it for
granted that some mistakes will be made, but no one is now
willing to confess himself a "standpatter," we are all
progressive if not "progressives." Is it then strange that
some mistakes are made in education?
161
If a man looks at his neighbor who is bringing up a
family he can always discover some grave mistakes which
the neighbor seems to him to be making. Sometimes'he
even sees mistakes which are being made by his "better
half" in his own family.
Is it surprising that when he looks into the schoolroom,
where the one teacher is trying to train forty children, he
will occasionally discover some happenings which seem to
him queer?
IDIPORTANCE OF THE TEACHER.
It has often been said, "As the teacher so the school."
The best that we can do then is to secure the best possible
teacher, give him considerable liberty and sympathetic
support, and in case of dissatisfaction go straight to him and
try to have a good understanding with him.
MUTUAL CONFIDENCE.
The greatest need of any school is mutual confidence
between the home and the school. This will lead to mutual
helpfulness. We should recognize the fact that all con-
eerned desire to accomplish the same thing, viz: To make
the children into helpful citizens.
SELECTION OF TEACHERS FOR THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
Great care is exercised in the selection of teachers for the
Training School.
Three points we always try to keep in mind:
First: Is this person a man or woman of fine character?
Second: Is he well trained for his work?
Third: Will he be able to get on well with the children
and their parents?
I believe that the teachers now in The Training School
are without exception strong along all of these lines.
We are enabled to have such teachers only because The
State supplements the salaries paid by the Town. During
the current year the State is paying toward the salaries of
six teachers $2545, or an average of about $424..
'^s
162
ASSISTANCE FRODI STUDENT-TEACHERS.
During the first half of the year the teaching is prac-
tically all done by these teachers and the school is a model
school. During the second half of each year the Senior
Normal Students who have been in training at the Normal
School for one and a half years go into the Training School
to learn from the Training School teachers how to do the
real work of the class room. The regular teacher of the
room is responsible both for discipline and for teaching.
This makes it possible to give much more attention to back-
ward children and to do many things which could not
well be clone in a school with only one teacher.
TRAINED SUPERVISORS.
Besides the regular teachers the Training School re-
ceives the benefit of expert supervision in music, drawing,
physical training and industrial work and in all of the
regular subjects. This is furnished by the State at a
cost of more than $700.
GENEROUS EQUIPMENT.
So much for the teaching. Let us turn now to the
matter of equipment. The Town furnishes for the Training
School books, paper and other material at the same rate
per pupil as to the other schools of the Town. The State
supplements such supplies by purchasing such books and
other equipment as may, from time to time, be needed to
put this into-the most favored class of the schools of the
State. The pupils of the 'Training School have also free
access to Normal School laboratories, manual training room,
cooking room and to any other appliances tivhich may seem
desirable for broadening their horizon. Classes in geog-
raphy have the free use of the stereoptican with about one
thousand fine lantern slides; opportunities are even given
upper grade children to see Venus, Saturn and other
planets through the fine Normal School telescope under the
163
leadership of the instructor in astronomy. The Normal
School library is well provided with books on plants,
animals, biography, and all other subjects which come into
the work of the children. These are at all times accessible
for use in the Training School.
GRADE OF WORK.
It will readily be seen that it is possible to afford, here
in the Hyannis 'Training School, opportunities for an educa-
tion equal to that offered by any public school in the
State.
The school is often visited by experienced experts in
education. These approve of the general plan of the
school and compare its work favorably with that of the
best schools of the country.
It is interesting to note that nearly all of the things
which are urgently requested for the schools by our own
superintendent of schools and by superintendents of similar
towns throughout the State, such as higher salaries and
more money for equipment, are taken as a matter of course
in our Training School.
It is well sometimes to count our blessings and to cheer
each other on our -Way.
Very respectfully yours,
WM. A. BALDWIN

REPORT OF THE SliPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
To Air. George H. Gal.ger, Superintendent of Schools,
Bear Sir:
There have been no marked changes in drawing during
the past year. In the higher grades a steady.gain in power
can be noted in most of the pupils.
The grade teachers, with three exceptions, returned to
their schools in September. This fact has greatly
strengthened the work of my department. It takes time
for even expert and experienced teachers to grasp the prob-
lems of the country school of several grades and some
months pass before the best work can be done for the
pupils. Parents sometimes think school is school and one
teacher will do just as well, as another. They do not
realize that changes among faithful, capable teachers must
decrease efficiency for a considerable time. Aloney paid to
retain strong teachers.is an investment that touches the
heart as well. as the pocket of every tax-payer who wants
Barnstable's corning citizens well-fitted for their life
work.
We have scored. for the manual arts this ye..tr in Cotuit
and the village of Barnstable by introducing sewing
systematically and increasing the wood-working equipment
in both buildings. The teacher and pupils of the Cot-nit
school deserve commendation for their efforts to help pro-
cure additional tools for their workshop. 'l.'he School
Board promised a sum for tools equal to that which the
school could raise. Stimulated by this promise an enter-
tainment was given in Freedom Hall., whose proceeds, with
the promised addition, have given this work-shop a fair
equipment. The lessons in precision and. accuracy learned
in the shop are already telling on the school.-room habits of
these boys. They are more alert when directions are
given and are drawing with more intelligence and care,
165
The wood-work in Barnstable village is done in an un-
finished room of the remodeled building. Two carpenters'
benches are now in use in this roo.rn. One of these was
made two ,years ago when the present principal undertook
to carry forward. this work in spite of the disadvantages of
carrying on carpentry and drawing in the same period.
c The.other bench was made last fall in our new shop. A
comparison of these benches shoes a marked and .most sat-
isfactory-gain in the work of these young boys. One little
fellow who has learned to use tools in this school reported
to me last fall that he had earned seventy-five cents a day
during part of the vacation because of the instruction he
had received in school.
Last December the boys in this building chose to make
brackets, shelves, and various articles needed as the
classes settled in their new quarters, instead of making
things to take home as Christmas gifts for their friends.
The girls of the intermediate and grammar schools of
Cotuit and Barnstable village sew under the direction of the
intermed.iate-room teachers on Friday afternoons while the
boys from the same rooms are receiving instruction in their
shop-work.
Drawing and sewing lessons were combined in December
in these schools, the drawing being represented by the old-
fashioned cross-stitch patterns Nvith which we used to
ornament gifts made with the needle. It is only fair to
state that the beauty and accuracy of the work on the old-
fashioned, samplers of the great-aunts and grandmothers
from which we took our best letters were examples that
ought to stimulate their easy-going descendants. -
Che work of the average pupils in Barnstable village al-
ready shows how much more can be done for them under
the three-room arrangement now possible for the first time in
that section.
Santuit suffers at present from the burdensome handicap
of the one-room school, and many pupils in many grades.
166
There is no suitable place for the assistant to work and it
is a constant struggle to hold the work up to our past
Santuit standards.
I often wonder as I meet the good citizens of this town
week after week as we, your supervisors, drive over this
seventy-five mile area, if you do not question what good
comes from all this traveling and teaching. I believe many
are still. saying "What does drawing amount to anyway?"
It should help meet the demands of the hour for efficient
men and women. Drawing, properly taught, trains the
eyes to see quickly, to see essentials, the big facts of form
and proportion in their true relations. A boy should know
when things are plumb and level if his eyes give him facts
as a basis of judgment and action. He should be willing to
lay out a garden by an orderly plan instead of with
straggling rows and uneven beds. He should be more alert
and less slipshod in everything he undertakes, with the grit
that makes him finish whatever he begins.
The grammar school aims to send out boys and girls who
can represent simple objects as they see them and make
drawings of plant forms that are true to life. They
should be able to show a carpenter by means of a freehand
sketch with dimensions or a ruled drawing made to scale,
just how a set of shelves, a cupboard, or a table should be
made, or to understand the carpenter's own plans for any
simple piece of work. A boy.should feel that the natural
way to explain to a blacksmith just what sort of a brace
or rod he wants made is to show him a sketch of the object
with dimensions properly placed. He should know if he
wants to make a box, a sled or a boat that it is wise to first
make the drawing by means of which he can determine just
how much stock he needs, so that he can count the cost be-
fore he begins his job. He should be able to read working
drawings well enough to work from a foreman's simple blue-
prints, without assistance.
Time is spent in color study primarily to give each child
167
greater delight in the world of beauty around him, to enable
him to choose papers for the walls of his rooms and carpets
for his floors, that are restful to live with, or for instance, to
help him decide what colored clothes and neckties should be
worn by the man with pronounced red hair. He or she
should be able to use color or direct its use on the outside
of buildings in a way that adds to the beauty of the home
and the town. Let us go beyond the life of the village and.
consider the relation of drawing to manufactures. Do we
realize that every machine is made from drawings, that the
draftsman's plans are followed when the machinery of a
big plant is set up? That a slight error in a drawing may
render a machine useless and cause heavy loss? The thought
that guides all. mechanical processes is constantly expressed
by drawings. Every tall building, every big piece of en-
gineering construction must be described by drawings that
enable skilled workmen to make these visions of trained and
gifted minds realities.
Drawing is the universal language of skilled workmen
the world over. By means of it and the training that goes
with it some of our own boys are today doing valuable work
at good wages in the outside world.
In the jewelry manufacturing district centering near
Attleboro, the towns, aided by the state, are to have voca-
tional courses in design and metal work, not only for boys
in the day schools, but for men already at work in the
factories. These workmen know that their earning power
increases as they increase their artistic, as well as their
technical knowledge.
The more beautiful the product of the factory and shop
the greater the return in money to the manufacturer and
the laborer. The buyer with taste to recognize a fine thing
is of as much value in the commercial world as the skilled
producer. The study of color and design in the public
schools is constantly increasing the number of such buyers.
A drawing teacher of long and rich experience sums up
the benefits of drawing in the following terms:
168
"Forethought; The planning of a piece of work before
starting."
"Concentration; Constant effort to do the very best
work."
"Self-reliance; Confidence and courage to do the work
set out."
"Persistence; Sticking to the work until it is finished."
Our teachers and pupils received much stimulus and
inspiration, last winter, from preparing drawings for an
international exhibition of drawings from public schools,
normal schools and art schools held at Dresden, Germany,
last August, at the fourth International Congress of Art
Teachers. Our drawings were sent to Albany, where they
%were submitted to the committee in charge of the exhibit
from the rural schools of the United States. The draw-
ings sent to Albany represented the work of every school
in town under my supervision. Every mark on our papers
was made by our children,the lettering of the primary sheets
being done by older pupils. Every drawing bore the words
"Barnstable, Massachusetts," as well as the child's name
and grade.
Photographs were accepted showing high school draw-
ings too large to be sent; stenciled and block-printed de-
signs; the boys at Barnstable at work at their bench in the
old school-room; and the entire grammar class at West
Barnstable, some sketching from the windows while the
others drew with T squares and triangles. _
Our work constituted nearly one-third of the entire rural
school exhibit from the United States and received com-
mendation. The drawings that were not sent to Dresden
have been used by the Art teacher of the Albany College in
her classes as examples of good work done in country
schools.
The work of our high schools after the first year is
largely individual. We endeavor to develop each pupil.
along the lines of his taste and purpose in life. The
169
young man who is preparing for Wentworth Institute or a
Technical school should be prepared to do easily and well the
drawing demanded in his school. The pupil with especial
talent for drawing can prepare for an art school, not with
the idea that he or she will make a living painting land-
scapes or portraits, but because a thorough art education
opens many avenues for self-support along the lines of com-
mercial advertising, drafting and designing. The best art
schools today-teach not only designing, but the construction
of the articles designed, and many students are placed
in paying positions on their graduation.
° Our high schools should send well-prepared pupils to the
Normal schools.
Drawing is optional in the last two years of our high
schools, and pupils who take the required work without
effort or interest and drop.it the moment the law allows,
decide at a late hour in their senior year to go to a normal
school. It is then too late to remedy their neglect and they
enter absolutely unprepared.
We are attempting to remedy this deficiency by means of
a special class for Normal candidates, whenever we know of
their purpose.
Science drawing beyond the required work of the first
two years is needed if any standard of efficient expression
in physics or chemistry is to be maintained. Most pupils
fail to see that they should use their drawing as a means of
dear expression in the sciences and wherever maps aid in
illustrating historical topics.
More stress must be laid upon these phases of the work
in our grammar schools until drawing seems to the child a
natural aid in descriptions or explanations.
The last and present senior classes of the Elizabeth
Lowell School have printed excellent posters by means of
which they have advertised their school entertainments.
The B. H. S. programs of the last Junior Promenade
were designed and printed, a hundred and fifty of them
by the juniors themselves, and merited commendation.

Good lettering when it is used for such purposes, or
meets the demands of commercial advertising, is designing
of the most.practical sort and well worth doing.
The James Otis prizes for excellence and effort in draw-
ing were awarded as follows:
Seniors for Art Note Books.—Mary W. Murray, Mary
M. Hallett; Juniors:—Grace E. Bursley. Honorable men-
tion, Frances Maher, Helen Linnell.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
I have the honor to submit to you the annual report of.
the Music Department.
The object of the course followed this year is fivefold:
first, to develop in the pupils a love for good music;
second, to help all the children in the schools to read music;
third, to help them to sing songs well with clear, pleasing
tones; fourth, by means of a variety,of songs, to provide
the children with a medium for expressing their emotions—
thus adding to their happiness; fifth, to.build character.
In order to accomplish our purpose, the daily work is _
assigned under the following heads: voice and ear training,
sight-singing and song interpretation.
Believing that most young children can learn to sing,
much time is given in the first grade to teaching the morno-
tones.
Daily practice in reading at sight is given in each grade.
It is claimed by musicians that sight-singing requires more
mental. power than almost any other study.
By means of individual singing we endeavor to make all
the pupils self-reliant and to help the slower pupils to keep
pace with the quicker ones. Only by having such recita-
tions frequently can we secure self-dependent readers in
?Le upper grades.
Throughout the course, effort is made to train the ear
of the pupil. Dr. Damrosch is our authority for saying
that the fundamental requirement for proper musicianship
is ear training.
Two-part singing is taken up in the intermediate
grades and three-part singing in the grammar grades.
During the second half of the year the boys in the eighth
172
and ninth grades have practice in singing from the F clef.
We try to increase the interest already felt in music by
utilizing individual talent. The little concerts given in
the primary rooms are of interest and profit.
In the high schools we have been able to hear by means
of the graphophone some of the great masterpieces as sung
by the best artists. The high school pupils have also added
to our pleasure and aided in broadening the work by con-
trihu0rg vocal and instrumental selections.
By the singing of songs at the opening of school and at
intervals during the day, also by observing National days
with appropriate songs, much can be done to mold the
character of each pupil.
Phillips Brooks once said that a school song in the heart
of a child will do as much for his character as a fact in his
memory or a principle in his intellect.
At Thanksgiving time "The Pilgrim Fathers" was
taught in all. the grades and was sung with much enthusiasm
by all. Our patriotic songs are always eagerly learned by
the foreign, as well as by the native children.
We agree with those who say that every child at the end
of the school course, should be able to sing from fifty to one
hundred of the songs which are the heritage of the English
speaking race, and trust that this will be true of those who
graduate from the grammar schools in June.
Cordially thanking all fellow workers for their efficient
co-operation this report is
Respectfully submitted,
SYLENDA BEEBE MORRIS

REPORT ON THE ADULT SCHOOL AT BARNSTA-
BLE VILLAGE
To Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
The educational work in behalf of our New Americans
at West Barnstable has met with appreciation. A class
for the study of English has assembled Thursday evenings
during the past year, with the exception of stormy evenings
and a mouth's vacation in July. In the winter and spring
the average attendance including both sexes was about 18;
in the summer and fall it was half this number. During
the hour's session there is given besides the instruction in
English and simple arithmetic, which the text-books pro-
vide for, general instruction by means of question and
answer in geography, history, and civics. The average age
of those attending is about twenty ,years. - Those starting
in who are middle-aged or over are apt to fall out soon,
with the excuse that "English is too hard." Recently a
picture show was given with lantern-slides, illustrating life
in Finland, and wholesome American child life. There
were present thirty-five persons. This was the first picture -
show ever held in Finnish hall, and it has borne fruit in
stimulating interest in the work of the class. The work
has now a good, start, and for the welfare of-the Town
should be maintained. My desire is to find some one will-
ing to share with me some of the burden of teaching.
Respectfully submitted,
REV. B. W. MORRISON

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
The wort: of the Tree Warden the past year has been the
care of the trees we already have, no new trees were put in.
The necessary trimming and digging around young trees
was done, and the Elms were covered with spray for the
Beetle, which were very thick. The work of spraying was
clone with a powerful. high pressure machine purchased by
the Tree Warden from the U. S. Government; this machine
has a six hundred gallon tank and ten horse power engine
with a powerful three cylinder pump, and is able to throw
a spray one hundred feet in the air; this permits all the
work to be done from the ground, doing away with climbing
and spurring the trees, which is injurious, and you are also
sure that the tops are covered, which is very important. The
cost of doi.iig the worli with this machine, compared with
the old way of climbing was seventy-five dollars less. The
work of trimming for the coming year has been started, the
village of Centerville having been done; seventy-five loads
were taken out. Tfi.e other villages will be done before
spring to be ready for spraying the first of June. The trim-
ming all over town will be heavier that usual be the
v past few years we hae cut out as little as possible in order to
save money enough for the Elm Beetle spraying.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY W. 130DFISH,
Tree Warden
