REPORT OF COMMITTEE
ON DIVISION OF THE TOWN.
The Committee appointed at the last annual meeting in
regard to dividing the Town, respectfully submit the fol-
lowing report:
No special instructions having been given..your Commit-
tee have assumed that the Old Parish line which follows
Bumps River from the Sound, to near Lumbert's Old Mill,
thence,in a straight line to the North side, passing near the
residence of Elijah Loring, to be the only practicable line
of division, and if the Town should be divided by this line
it would affect the several interests of the Town as follows,
viz.:
POLLS AND TAXABLE PROPERTY.
POLLSI PERSONAL REAL TOTAL REAL,
PERSONAL
East Half 600 $550,000 $1,350,000 $1,900,000
West Half 450 625,000 1,140,000 1,765,000
Totals, 1050 I $1,175,000 $2,490,000 $3,665,000
Included in the above East Section is $57,650.00 of "resi-
dent owned" bank stock, a part of which is owned in the
97 ,
"West half, and which would reduce the difference in Total
Taxable Property in the two sections to about $100,000.
The Almshouse, Farm, Selectmen's Office, Town House
and Restaurant are all i❑ the West half. Without further
itemizing it seems that the school-houses,wells,hearses and
tombs, taken as a whole, are about equally divided in value
between both sections.
ROADS.
We find that the cost of working the roads in the year
1893 was about as follows:
South-west Section, , $3,500 00
South-east Section, 2,500 00
North Section, 2,000 00
$8,000 00
By dividing the amount spent in the North Section and
adding one-half to each of the other sections will give
about the cost of repairing the roads of each of the pro-
posed towns, viz..:
West Section, $4,500 00
Fast Section, 3,500 00
which would vary somewhat according to the amount ap-
propriated, and the needs of the roads. Taking into cou
sideration the possibilities of the increase in valuation of
the West Section of the Town might help to offset the
difference in the cost Of maintaining the roads.
SCHOOLS.
The expenses of the schools for 1893 were as.follows:
EAST HALF.
Schools. Repairs. Transportation.
Section 1, $400 02 $54 06

Totals, $5,400 46 $330 83 $346 78
If the Town is divided a High School will have to be
maintained in each town, which would change the cost of
the schools in each town about as follows:
Total cost of schools, East half, $7,322 54
C7
Salary of Asst. High School teacher, $400.00
Reduction of salary of the Principal of
the High School (from$1,500), 500 00
900 00
$6,422 54 .
Total cost of Schools, West half, $5,400 46
To which should be added the cost of a
High School, 1,125 00
$6,625 46
C7•.
Cost of High Grammar Schools at Cotuit
and Osterville for 1893, 200 00
$6,425 46
F1

Chapter 200 of the Acts of 1893, provides that any two
towns, the valuations of each of which does not exceed two
jnillion five hundred thousand dollars, and the aggregate
number of schools in all of which is not more than.fifty,
nor less than twenty-five, may, by vote of the several towns,
unite for the purpose of the employment of.a Superinten-
dent of Schools. When such union has been.effected the
State will pay to the towns belonging to the union $1,250
per year, which, in case of such a union after the town was
divided, would reduce the expenses for a Superintendent of
Schools from $1,500 to $250 per year.
SUPPORT OF POOR.
The amount expended in 1893 was as follows:
.FAST HALF.
Poor in Almshouse, (6), $704 34
In town and out of Almshouse, (28), 1,564 48
Cities, Towns and Hospitals, (9), 684 75
$2,953.57
WEST ETALF.
Poor in Almshouse, (6), $704 34
In town and out of Almsbouse, (13),' 1,088 63
Cities, Towns and Hospitals, (5), 548 62
$21-341 59
At present the number of inmates in the Almshouse is
equally divided between the two sections. We understand
however, that in years past a,largek proportion-has come
from the East half.
If the inhabitants of 'this Town wish for division it can
be very easily accomplished and 'ought not to cost over
$200. The first step is to give notice of intention to peti-
tion, some time before the assembling of the Legislature,
which notice is according to law published in the papers of
the County wherein said town is located; and later a date is
100
get by the Committee on Cities and Towns for a hearing. In
regard to the Town's property, it is all appraised and the
part gettiuk a majority of the buildings, etc.,pays the other
for its share.
The "Cobb Fund" would probably come in for the special
attention of the Legislature, as to whether it should be"
divided or go with the section that retained the n tme of
Barnstable.

The school work has gone .on uninterruptedly for the
most part during the entire year, and in the main with very
satisfactory results. There have been 829 pupils enrolled
which is a gain of 40 over the enrollment of last year. Of
these 8.1 per cent. have been in .the, High school; 7.1 per
cent. in the High-grammar schools; 18.2 per cent. in the
Grammar schools; 11.4 per cent. in the Intermediate
$_8
114
schools; 38.4 per cent. in the Primary schools; and 16.6 per
cent. in the mixed schools.
The average .number ,belonging has been 670 and the
average daily attendance 613 or A. gain of 24 and 19 respec-
tively over last year. By referring to the reports of the
last few years it will be noticed that there has been a grad-
ual gain in the number of pupils. The report of 1890 gives
the total number enrolled'as 696; the report of 1891, 746;
the report of 1892, 742; the report of 1893, 788; and the re-
port of this year 829. This increase in the school popula-
tion indicates a healthful growth .in the prosperity of the
town and is an index of its corresponding growth in ma-
terial and business prosperity.
Of the whole number enrolled 118 are in Cotuit—not in-
cluding district No. 10—all of whom when the schools began
in October were put into the , remodelled building. The
building is centrally located and contains four pleasant,
well-lighted rooms, sufficiently large, to accommodate all
the scholars of that section for the present. The grading
of the scholars according to ability and adaptation for
work is as perfect as anywhere in town and there is no rea-
son why the schools should not do even better, work than
ever before. Mr. L. M. Boody continues in charge of the
High-Grammar department, which compI:ises the 8th Grain-
mar grade and the first two years of the High school. Mrs.
O. A. Baker, who taught the Intermediate school, is now in
charge of the 6th and 7th grades. .Miss Lillian Arey, who
taught until the, opening of the fall term in Marstons Mills,
is in charge of the 4th and 501 grades, and Miss Adeline
F. Bearse continues in charge of the Primary department,
which comprises the'lst, 2d.and 3d grades.
In Hyannis exclusive of the High school scholars and the
scholars ut the Port there have been 240 enrolled. This is
a larger number than we have ever had before and owing to
the necessity of using one of the rooms on the lower floor
in the High school building for. High school purposes and
,,the increase of scholars in the primary room in this same
115
building it became necessary to rent a building for school
purposes. The front room in the old post-office building
was secured at $7.50 per month and the intermediate school
.thereby found a comfortable temporary location. The
crowded condition of the primary room was relieved by
opening a new school in the small room of the grammar
building. These arrangements could not be permanent as
the location of the.old post-office building is not such as is
desirable for a school and the little room in the grammar .
building is not sufficiently large. It is quite unnecessary,
however, to dwell upon this matter. for the solution of the
whole problem has already been solved. The town has re-
cently voted at a special meeting to construct a new build-
Jng which will doubtless provide ample accommodations for
some time to come. I.t is too early to give any details in re-
gard to the structure. We can only srty that a site has been
secured which is only a short distance from the present
grammar building and which commends itself to all on ac-
count of its central, healthful and beautiful location. The
building will be in close proximity to the State Normal
School and the schools -,rill Become model and practice
schools for that institution.
Tlie grammar school has continued under the manage-
ment of Mr. W. R. Bowen; the intermediate and primary in
No. 16 have continued respectively under the management
of Mrs. Wilbar` and Miss Cnshman; the intermediate and
primary in No. 18 continued until the fall term in charge
of Miss Buckley and Miss Warren where they taught
with marked success for several years.
In the fall Miss Buckley, was transferred to the West
Barnstable Primary and Miss Warren resigned to accept a
similar position elsewhere. These places were filled by
Miss Hattie Hallett, who was transferred from Oistriet'No.
8, and Miss Carrie Ellis whose ability had been previously
demonstrated by several years of successful work in the
same school. The new school which was opened late in
the year was placed in charge: of Miss Mary Crocker, a
116
decent graduate of our High school. This school was not
.opened until a month previous to the close of the year and
�u' the tables has been considered under the primary school
ii district No. 18 of which it was a part.
Tlie location of the old buildings has rendered it impos-
sible to grade the schools in the most approved and satis-
factory ,Wanner, but with the advent of the Normal School
and the new town building the schools of Hyannis will
necessarily be greatly improved and ought to rank among
the first in the State. In Barnstable, West Barnstable,
Osterville aid Centreville the number of pupils enrolled
corresponds very largely with that of last year aicl the
conditions under which the schools leave been in operation
have been materially the same. Tl.ie teachers of last year
have continued in charge with the exception of Mr. Barney
and Mrs. Hall, who resigned their positions in Nest Baru-
stable at the close of the summer term. They were efficient
workers and rendered faithful service durinn their entire
stay of about three years. Mr. Chas. Gifford of Cotnit, a
teacher of successful experience, was elected to the position
vacated by Mr. Barney and Miss Mary Buckley succeeded
Mrs. Hall.
In the mixed schools the number of scholars enrolled has
been 138 as compared with 129 last year. The same teach-
ers have continued excepting at Marstons Mills and the
Plaits. Mr. Chas. B. Nowland, a Normal School graduate
and a teacher of experience, succeeded Miss Arey at the
Mills and Miss Annis Sturgis of Centreville, a recent High
school graduate, succeeded Miss Hallett at the Plains.
The cumber of different teachers employed during the
year corresponds exactly with the iiumber employed last
year and is less than for several previous years. This coi-
tinuity of service together witli the fact that our teachers
have been coisciettious and faithful to their trust accounts
largely for-the success which has crowned,the year's work.
The perfect teacher it is difficult to find. The honest
teacher is more, easily found. We may congratulate our-
117
selves that we have so many who are true to the great re-
sponsibility that rests upon them. The June examinations
were highly satisfactory and in a great majority of cases the
pupils passed into higher grades where they have been able
to comprehend the more.advanced work. There is no doubt
but that the schools of Barnstable accomplish as good work
in the,three Rs as many of the best schools in the State.
Nay, they do even more than that and in some of our
schools a quality of work is done in other lines that will
compare favorably with the best. This does not mean,
however, that the education of our children is large and full
and complete. To educate the child is not to confine it to
the narrow limit of fitting it to work on the .farm or in a
shop or store. It is to prepare it to live in a large free way.
Our schools are gradually assuming such conditions that
the tirne is approaching when. we shall see our way clear to
introduce other highly beneficial school exercises. The
consolidation of schools in Cotuit and Hyannis cannot fail
to be of great benefit to all personally interested. Many are
content to simply stand still and only gaze upon new fields
of work which others pass on to seize and profit by. "New
occasions teach new duties." The first step is the most dif-
ficult to take but the confusion accompanying a new step
need not fill us with too much apprehension.
Changes in educational thought have been made very,
rapidly in recent years. A desire for something broader
.and-richer has animated the considerations of the progres-
sive educators of recent years while all that is best in the
results of the past, has been carefully conserved. Music
and drawing have established their right to a special place
in the school curriculum. The conditions are now suitable
in Barnstable for systematic instruction in both of these
branches of study and I would recommend that in the fall
the services of a special teacher be secured who shall com-
bine if possible botl.i of these departments;

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
At the close of the winter term Mr. Charles D. Meserve
resigned the principalship of this school to accept a similar
position in Leominster, Mass.. Mr. Meserve during his five
_years of service Worked untiringly for the highest welfare
of the school and won the confidence and approbation of
committee, parents and pupils. It is not too much to say
I .
119
that the school was never before in such a flourishing con-
dition. Tha salary seemed large to some, but the com-
mittee felt justified in paying it. Mr.Meserve's resignation
was accepted with regret. It came at a time of the year
when it is not only difficult to secure a principal, but when
the circumstances of the school work are such as to make
the position an exceeding trying one for a new man to enter
upon. There were numerous applicants for the place, how-
ever, whose testimonials showed various degrees of success
and excellence. None were superior to those of.Mr..Alex-
ander B. Crawford, a graduate of Dartmouth. College, and
a teacher of successful experience. He was engaged for a
year and entered upon. his work at once with a zeal and
earnestness which has not abated. Miss Ruth Child has
continued as assistant throughout the year.
At the close of the summer term a class of eleven received
diplomas of graduation.
The exercises were held in Masonic Hall, Thursday even-
ing, June 21, in the presence of a very large assembly, and
-were an honor and credit to the town.
During the last term there have been eighty scholars in
attendance—the largest number ever known in the history
of the school. A second assistant teacher is very much
needed and there should be no delay in securing one as
soon as it is possible to.arrange another recitation room in
the building. Of the eighty scholars who have been in
attendance during the last term, twelve have come from
Centreville and have received transportation money; eleven
from Barnstable and have received transportation money;
twelve from West Barnstable and have received transporta-
tion money; and three from Osterville, two of whom have
received transportation . money—the third scholar from
Osterville was not entitled to receive transportation money,
owing to the fact that the first two years of High school
work in which lie is at present engaged, is done in that
village. There are four classes called respectively the
First, Second, Junior and Senior.

THE HIGH-GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN COTUIT.
Mr. Louis M. Boody, who was elected principal of this
school in the fall of 1893, has continued in charge during
the present year. The school is thirty per cent. larger this
,year than last and is-in a flourishing condition. The grad-
uates from the two years' High school course at the close
of the summer.term were J. Ernest'Childs, John M. Knox-
an,a Sumner I. Phinney. Two of these are continuing their
school work elsewhere.
The course of study for the High school grades is tho
same as for the first and second years of the High school
in Hyannis and the text books used are the same. During
the fall term there hive been 26 pupils, 3 of whom are from
Marstons Mills and receive transportation money.

HIGI -GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN OSTERVILLE.
At the beginning of the year Mr. Eben D. Bod.fish' re,.-
signed his position as principal of this school to accept a
more remunerative position in the town of Hingham. Mr.
Bodfish's resignation was,accepted with regret because he
had well demonstrated his ability as a successful discipli-
narian and teacher. • The vacancy was filled. by the pro.zp.o-
tion of Miss Lillian Littlefield.., who was at that time
assistant teacher. Miss Littlefield has proved herself.
,worthy of the promotion and the school is in excellent con-
ditiou. Miss Maud Nelson was appointed to fill the assis.-
tant's position and taught very satisfactorily until she re-
signed at the close of the summer term. Miss Theresa
Lewis of Centreville was appointed to fill her place and is
doing excellent work. Miss Jennie Fuller was the only
graduate from the two j ears' high school course 'and iIi
the fall entered the High school in Hyannis to continne her
work: The course of study for the high school department
is the same as the first and second years of the High school
in Hyannis, and the text books used are the same.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The eighteen school buildings reported last year have
been reduced to sixteen and it is likely that before the close
of another year four of the buildings in Hyannis and Hyan-
nis Port will be replaced by one large structure with many
conveniences and modern improvements. Where it is fea-
sible to thus combine the,old'sebool districts there can be no
question as to the larger advantages accruing to school '
management. The petty jealousies that naturally arise
among the children in the different districts give way 'to a
common love for a common school.. 'They meet upon the
same play-ground, enjoy equally the same privileges, and
grow into manhood with a broader consideration for the
rights and regards of"others: The classification of the
children in the different branches of study can be much
more perfect and the efficiency of the teacher's work greatly
increased, Generally speaking, too, the expense ought to
be considerably reduced. The same apparatus oftentimes
answers for several schools and being in the same building
it can easily be transferred from one room to another. But -
I need not dwell upon the details of this for it is well known
that the cost of educating large numbers of children is much
less than for small numbers*. The statistics of both last
year and this are sufficient proof in regard to this point.
The vote of the town at the last annual meeting whereby
128
it was voted to sell the school-house in district No. 21 and
also the primary school building in district No. 11 and to
expend the money with an additional appropriation of
$1,000 in remodelling the Higli-grammar school building in
district No. 11 has. been duly carried into effect. As has
been stated elsewhere, the building was completed and ready
for occupancy in the fall. It contains two rooms on the
lower floor and two above. They are all well lighted and
very pleasant. The exterior of the building presents an
attractive appearance. A report of the building committee
will he found elsewhere.
For the last few years as little money as possible has been
expended on the buildings in Hyannis in anticipation of the
recent vote of the town. This year, however, it became
absolutely necessary to provide accommodations for the
scholars and a considerable expense was incurred. The
partition had to be removed in the High school room, an
entry added to the building in district No. 17 and 48 new
desks purchased. These extras made it necessary to exceed
the appropriation for .repairs. These school buildings will
no longer be used as such ; but they have well served their
purpose and out of them will evolve only what might nat-
urally be expected. Nothing further need be said of them
at this time with the exception of the High school building•.
This should now be devoted entirely to High School put--
poses to meet the increasing demand for more room. It
should be provided as soon as possible with .larger ante-
rooms and another recitation room with laboratory appli-
ances. The expense need not be large but the demand is
very great.
All the other buildings in town are in good repair.
COURSE OF STUDY, TEXT BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
Ve have based our work for several years on the present
course of study and in-many respects find it well adapted to
129
the conditions of our schools. A course of study is not,
however, something that is final but 'rather something that
must be constantly subject to revision. It should not be
wholly a mandatory document stating just what pages and
chapters in certain books are to be learned thus leaving no
choice to the teacher but rather a body of suggestions giving
life to the schools and having life of its own. Many of the
teachers find the prescribed work in Arithmetic unsatisfac-
tory and the directions in regard to the Geography vague.
The lanouabe work in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades has been
directed during the last year by papers especially prepared
for the purpose. They combine literary work with techni-
cal grammar seeking to maintain a middle ground ,between
the extremists of the `old education" who conjugated I am,
thou art, he is, and parsed Paradise Lost and the extremists
of the "new education' to whom the very name of"grammar"
is odious. I have sought in the language papers to include
bnough technical grammar for all practical purposes and to'
introduce as much literature as possible to serve as a sub-
stantial basis for composition work. Besides being a valua-
ble study in itself"nature work" which is so prominent in
school exercises and which beyond a doubt has found a per-
manent place in all grades of study is a grew aid to language
work. From the first year of school throughout the entire
course the child should be taught to observe accurately and
to express clearly the results of his observation. If he has
learned to observe and describe accurately in good English
even so simple a thing as a leaf he has learned a valuable
lesson which cannot fail to help him in bis'other work. The
aesthetic and moral influence also which work of this kind
exerts is not to be underrated To discover the hidden
beauties in the order, arrangement and adaptation of leaf,
flower, and fruit, to know the mineral world and to disclose
the secrets of insect and animal is to know the meaning of
life. :Material for this work is all about us and can be had
B-9 '
130
only for the asking. Some of our teachers` take time for
work of this kind and accomplish good results. It is not,
however, general and should receive a special place in our
course of study. The following table taken from a recent
copy of the "School Journal" considers ten subjects of study
as to their relative importance in developing knowledge,
power, and skill in expression. It is not given as an accu-
rate measurement of the several studies nevertheless it has
been prepared after much observation and is full of signifi-
cant suggestions.

I should advise that the course of study be revised with
a view to modifying it so as to embody as far as practicable
the above suggestions and that it be subjected to the Board
for consideration and approval.
All the text books with the exception of the geographies
are in fairly good condition. During the summer I ex-
amined them in all the schools and repaired all worth it.
Many of the geograpbies are almost worthless and will have
to be replaced by new ones. In the fall term the Franklin
readers which have been used for many years were largely
replaced by the first, second and third readers of the Barnes
131
series and the fourth and fifth of the Normal series. The
fresh material which they bring is appreciated by the teach-
ers and scholars. Owing to the large increase in High
school scholars and the establishment of two High-grammar
schools the appropriation for text books and supplies for
the coming year should be increased.
Primary school books are not expensive, but High school
boobs cost considerable. The following expenditure for
text books and supplies has been made during year:

Physiology and Hygiene. Give instruction according to re-
quirements of Commonwealth. The law is as fol-
lows :
"Physiology and Hygiene, which, in both divisions of the subject,
shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic drinks,
stimulants, and narcotics on the human system, shall be taught as a
regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools supported wholly
or in part by public money."
147
Moral Instruction. The duty.of every teacher is clearly de-
fined by the following extract from the laws of our
Commonwealth:
°It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their best
endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, committed
to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and justice, and
a sacred regard to truth; love of their country, humanity, and uni-
versal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and frugality; chastity,
moderations and temperance; and those other virtues which are the
ornament of human society; and the basis upon which a republican
constitution is founded ; and it shall be the duty of such instructors
to endeavor to lead their pupils, as their ages and capacities will ad-
mit, into a clear understanding of the tendency of the above men-
tioned virtues, to preserve and perfect a republican constitution, and
secure the blessings of liberty as well as to promote their future
happiness, and also to point out to them the evil tendency of the op-
posite vices."
Physical Exercises. The requirements are as follows : "As
nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-half
of each school session, five minutes shall be devot-
ed to physical exercises, to be taken at the same
time in all the classes in the, building; and during
this time the school-room shall be thoroughly ven-
tilated."
Text-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is
indicated in part by assigning pages in the text-
books; teachers, however, will omit, or pass rapid-
ly over,parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell
upon the more important subjects, using the text-
hooks as aids only.

The statistics of the year show that there has been an
• enrollment of 25 pupils less than last year while the average
daily attendance has increased from 91 to 93 per cent. Of
the 804 pupils whose names are on the school registers 9.8
per cent. have been in the High school; 8.4 per cent. in
the Rigb-grammar schools; 10.9 per cent in the interme-
106
diate schools ; 34.8 per cent. in the primary schools, and 17
per cent. in the mixed schools. A comparison of these
figures with those of last year and the year before will
show that there has been an appreciable increase in the
number availing themselves of the higher grade of work.
Of the whole number enrolled 325 are in the Hyannis
schools including the mixed school at the Port; 117 in the
Cotuit schools ; 90 in the Osterville schools ;,61 in the
Barnstable schools ; 52 in the West Barnstable schools;
53 in the Centreville schools ; and 106 in the_mixed schools..
The Cotuit schools have continued iii charge of the same
teachers. with the exception of one term in one room and
have accomplished good results. The act of the com-
mittee whereby the schools were consolidated wag wholly
progressive and I doubt if any parents or scholars would
wish to return to the former system. The schools in Oster-
ville, Centreville, West Barnstable, and Barnstable .have
continued much the same as last year. There have been
some changes in teachers but the quality of the work
accomplished has not been affected. At the close of the
summer term Miss Mary Brown of the Barnstable primary
resigned and was succeeded in the fall by Miss Josie
Litchfield of the Quincy training school. Mr. Gifford
resigned his.position in West Barnstable and was succeeded
by Mr. Joseph T. F. Burrell of Quincy. Mr. Burrell has
taught with marked success.in other places and is energetic
and faithful in his work. Miss Buckley who taught the
,Primary school in West Barnstable was transferred to Hy-
annis and her place supplied by the appointment of Miss
Isabel Moir also of the Quincy training school. In the
mixed schools there have been some changes. Miss Annis
Sturges who taught at the Plains resigned to enter college
and was succeeded by Miss Mary Crocker. Mr. Nowland
of Marstons Mills also resigned. This place was filled by
Miss Content Jenkins, a teacher of wide experience in
large and successful schools. Miss Minerva Bearse re-
signed her position at Hvannisport to accept a position
107
elsewhere supposing that the Port school was soon to be
transferred to Hyannis. We were obliged, however, to
open this school for the fall term and Miss Nancy Sturges
a graduate of the High school was placed in charge. All
the teachers in the elementary schools in Hyannis con-
tinned through the year with the exception of Mr. W. R.
Bowen and Miss Harriet Hallett. • Mr. Bowen was--our
seventh and eighth grade teacher for two ,years and last fall
went to Pawtuxet, R. I., to teach in a similar }position. Mr.
R. Wallace Marston of Yarmouth was elected to fill Mr.
Bowen's position. Mr.Marston is a teacher of well-known
ability and came to Hyannis because of the prospects of a-
new building and a large field for work. Miss Harriet
Hallett accepted a higher ,position in Hingham and Miss
Mary Buckley returned to her old position where she
previously taught with marked success. The teachers who
Have continued'in their schools through the year—and some
of them for several years—doing excellent -work such as
not only your superiAendent approves and appreciates but
such as those who have been their pupils will in after years
recall with loving gratitude are Mrs. Lizzie Smith, Miss
Bertha Lovell, Miss Ann Hinckley, Miss Adeline Bearse,
Miss .Lillian Arey, Mrs. Nellie Wilbar, Miss Bertha Cusli-
man, Miss Carolyn Ellis, Miss Nellie Kelle3-, Miss Theresa
Lewis, Mrs. O. A. Baker, Miss Emma H. Crocker, Mr.
William H. Crocker, and Mr. Zemira Baker.
As a whole we have had a prosperous and harmonious
,year. The teachers have been energetic and faithful to
their work and the scholars have generously responded-to
all requirements. In one locality, However, a difficulty
arose over a.matter of discipline and the teacher was seri-
ously blamed by several parents. His position was sus-
tained by the committee and superintendent and by'the
Agent of the State Board of Education.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Mr. Alexander B. Crawford continued as principal of this
school until the middle of the fall term, when he resigned
to accept the principalship of the High school in Nahant
at an increased salary. By his scholarly attainments and
deep personal interest in his pupils, Mr. Crawford made
many friends among them who regretted his resignation.
Miss Ruth Child, the assistant, after a faithful service of
109
about two years also resigned at the close of the summer
term to teach in the High school in Malden of which she is
a graduate.
These positions were filled by the election of Mr. Louis
M. Boodyy, principal, and Miss Marion F. Leavitt, assistant.
Mr. Boody is a graduate of Williams College and also a
principal whose ability has been successfully tested by an
experience of two years in the High-grammar school in Co-
tuit. He entered upon his new work with immediate suc-
cess and the school continues in a prosperous condition.
Miss Leavitt is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College and very
successful in her work.
In spite of the changes in teachers the year has been a
profitable one, especially when we consider the amount of
room available and the great amount of work which so many
scholars and so many studies impose upon two teachers.
In January the whole building will be at the disposal of the
High school; another teacher will be employed and much
better results may justly be expected. No thoughtful per-
son will question the fact that the eighty young men and
women who attend this school, as bright, as talented, as ca-
pable of occupying high positions as any that can anywhere
be found, are worthy of better accommodations.
The building should be remodelled and amply equipped
with modern appliances. I am aware of what such a prop-
osition means, ,yet, because of the necessity, I believe that
the town will soon amply provide for this most important
branch of its educational system.
The school during the year has had an average member-
ship of 77.5 with an average attendance of 71.
The whole number attending during the year has been
101 of whom 12 live in Barnstable, 16 in West Barnstable,
14 in Centreville, 4 in Osterville, and 55 in Hyannis. 'This
number includes the 11 who graduated in June and the sev-
eral others who left school at that time.
At the present time there are 79 in attendance of whom
10 come from Barnstable; 12 from West Barnstable; 11
110
from Centreville; 4 from Osterville; and 42-from Hyannis.
The average age is 16 years, 4 montjis. The scholars from
Barnstable, West Barnstable, Centreville, and Osterville
have received their proportionate amount of the money ap-
propriated for transportation. At the close of the.summer
term 11 graduated, 2 of whom have entered college, 2. are
preparing themselves for teachers in the State Normal
school and 1 has entered a business college.
The graduating exercises were held in Masonic Hall, on
the evening of June 27, in the presence of a large assembly.
The essays and orations were of an unusually high order
acid the candidates reflected honor upon themselves, their
instructors, and the town.

The High School is established to provide an advanced
course of study for those pupils who have completed the
studies prescribed for the grammar schools and possess the
112
requisite qualifications. Each pupil is required, unless by
special permission, to pursue, at least, three branches of
study. There are three courses of study :—An English
Course, a Latin-English Course, and a Classical Course.
At the commencement of the course, parents or guardians
may elect which course shall be pursued by the pupil.

TRANSPORTATION OF HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS.
• In a recent issue of the "Patriot" I noticed an article
written by a prominent resident of the town, a former
teacher and member of the school board, concerning the
transportation of scholars from the village of West Barn-
stable to the High school in Hyannis. The position taken
by the correspondent was one of deep interest in the wel-
fare of the town and scholars.. No one who knows her will
doubt for a moment that she is sincere and earnest. The
same sincerity and earnestness actuates the minds of the-
school committee and superintendent of schools, nor is
there any reason to believe that there are not many people
in town deeply concern ed in regard to this same matter. I
wish to thank the lady for this public expression of good-
will and hope the matter which she has brought to public
attention will be agitated until the best possible solution
of it shall be reached.
115
I desire first of all to state the position of the committee
authorized to expend the money appropriated for the trans-
portation of scholars to the High school in order to excul-
pate them from any reproach that may be unwittingly cast
upon them and then to offer several propositions for con-
sideration.
At the present time there are eleven scholars from Cen-
treville, four from Osterville, four from East Barnstable,
six from Barnstable, and twelve from West Barnstable at-
tending the High school in Hyannis. There are also three.
scholars from Marstons Mills attending the High school
in Cotuit. All of these expect and are entitled to their re-
spective share of the money appropriated. The committee
believe that they exceed their jurisdiction when they enter
into a contract with any party by which the scholars shall
be brought from the different villages to Hyannis. This
the committee cannot do for it would obligate them to ex-
pend more than the amount appropriated and it is not ex-
pected that they will make up any deficit from their own
purses. They are pursuing the proper course in allowing
the scholars to get to the High school in the best manner
available and then to grant to each a'proportionate amount
of the inonev. The scholars from Centreville are brought
each morning in a barge which they themselves charter.
The committee allow them what in their estimation is just-
ly due and whatever deficit there is the parents of the
scholars make goad. The same is true in regard to the
scholars attending the High school in Cotuit from Mars-
tons Mills. Those attending the High school in Hyannis
from'Osterville board in Hyannis and receive what the
committee believe to be their share. This falls short by
considerable of paying their entire board bill. The schol-
ars from West Barnstable, Barnstable, and East Barnsta-
ble,come to Hyannis on the train and receive almost the
full amount of their carfare. To this arrangement' as a
whole there are no serious objections except the incon-
venience to which the scholars from Barnstable and Nest
116
Barnstable are put by travelling on the morning freight
train with its delays and the consequent demoralizing in-
fluence of waiting at railroad stations and very frequently
arriving at school several hours after the morning session
has begun.
No one realizes more deeply than the committee' or my-
self the evil effects resulting primarily to the scholars them-
selves and secondarily to the school `at large. A satisfac-
tory solution of the difficulty would be most Heartily wel-
comed. The subject should receive thoughtful considera-
tion and I respectfully offer several propositions for
deliberation. I shall mention the propositions beginning
as they seem to me with the least feasible and closing with
what I believe to be the wisest for the pupils. I am aware
that my last proposition is not the popular one and that to
many it will appear absurd. I shall offer it, however, at
the expense of seemiug absurdity believing that it is for the
highest interest of the pupils with whom my work is chiefly
concerned. The propositions briefly stated and commented
on are as follows: .
1st. 'To erect a building and maintain a High school in
West Barnstable. This would necessitate the'transporta-
tion of all the scholars now transported—except the twelve
from West Barnstable-and also the forty-two -now living
ifi Hyannis and attending school from this village. The
expense would thus be greatly increased and the large ma-
jorit_v of the scholars inconvenienced:
2d. To have one session in the High school in Hyannis
beginning at 10 o'clock and closing at 3.30. By this ar-
rangement the West Barnstable scholars would lose but
little school time as ordinarily the train arrives by ten or
soon after; nor would the necessity of eating lunch at
school—for which one-half hour would be taken=be any
more grievous for.the Hyannis pupils than for the scholars
-from the other villages. But while the West Barnstable
scholars would not by this arrangement be deprived of
school hours the greatest obstacle would yet remain—I
117 .
refer to waiting at the station. This would not be over-
come as the freight train is due at West Barnstable at a
certain hour and.the pupils must ."hang round" the station
until it arrives. -
3d. To continue as we are now doing by which arrange-
meat all the scholars are fairly well accommodated except-
ing the twelve from West Barnstable. While this arrange-
ment still leaves unremedied the objection of waiting at the
station, the other ,objection.,hamely of arriving late and
consequently losing recitation periods will henceforth be
largely overcome. We shall soon have three teachers in
the High school and, the, recitation hours can be so ar-
ranged as to partially if not wholly, provide for this late
contingency.
4tli•. , The West Barnstable pupils could charter a barge
and be brought each morning. I am aware that it is an
hour's ride and not infrequently a very cold one. I am
aware also that the expense would be considerably in-
creased. .It is 'one way, however, to remedy the present
difficulty and to my mind more ,feasible than any of the
preceding.
5th. To enlarge the present school building in West
Barnstable by one additional room; provide' an assistant
teacher; and introduce two ,years of High schoolwork. By
this arrangement the ,expense would be considerably in-
Creased and in spite of efficient teachers the work would
necessarily be unsatisfactory. The classes would be very
srnall and consequently but little enthusiasm. The best
results can only be rattaiued by concentrating all,the forces
in this higher work around.one.central point. A good Hibh
school rnaintaiued in one place be that place Hyannis,
West Barnstable or any other is worth a hundred fold more
than a scattering of forces and the consequent loss of
power.
6tla. To make arrangements with the Town of Sandwich
whereby the West Barnstable scholars may attend its High
school. The train accommodations are satisfactory and
118
there is no doubt but that,the matter of tuition could be
harmoniously adjusted.
I approach the last proposition with reluctance because
I am aware of a strong prejudicial feeling which exists in
the minds of some in regard to closing any school. I ap-
proach it on the other hand with readiness because I be-
lieve it will if adopted promote the highest welfare. of the
pupils, and because schools have been closed and the pu-
pils transported in more than 200 towns in the state with
highly satisfactory results. We are not without several
similar experiences in our own town. I believe those per-
sonally interested in the schools in Cotuit are satisfied with
the present arrangement. I believe the same is true. also
in Pond Village;and in Hyannis Port where the experiment
has been tried recently I believe no parent whose child was
conveyed to Hyannis was dissatisfied. In fact when we
were compelled by force of circumstances to reopen the
school in Hyannis Port the committee received a.petition
signed by all the parents of the children who were trans-
ported to Hyannis asking that their children might still. be
conveyed and continue in the Hyannis schools. With these
brief remarks I come to the last proposition which is to
arrange, with the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to have the morn-
ing train which runs from Hyannis to Yarmouth continue
as far.as West Barnstable and return to Hyannis. By this
arrangement the scholars from Nest Barnstable, Barnsta-
ble, and East Barnstable would arrive in Hyannis about 30
minutes before the opening of the morning session and in
ten minutes after the close of school they would be on the
train for home arriving in Barnstable in 19 minutes and in
West Barnstable in 27 minutes. No arrangement, could be
more convenient and your committee would gladly embrace
it except for the expense. To make this arrangement pos-
sible and also to greatly increase the school privileges I
would recommend that the Grammar school scholars from
West Barnstable, Barnstable, and East Barnstable be
brought to the training school in Hyannis. This school
119
will be in direct communication with the spirit and influ-
ence of the State Normal school and must be first class in
every respect. It is not well where it is practicable to
avail ourselves of its privileges?
The average age of the scholars in the schools above
mentioned is 12 years; 10 months. Are they too young to
come on the train?
The Primary schools in Nest Barnstable,Barnstable,and
East Barnstable would of course still continue. I have
communicated with the Superintendent of the N. Y., N. H.
& H. R. R. in regard to this matter and it is wholly proba-
ble that satisfactory train arrangements can be made. The
expense, however, will not be lessened but perhaps slightly
increased. This would be more than compensated for in
the benefits resulting to both High and Grammar school
pupils. The subject of transporting the High school schol-
ars has been a vexed one for a long time. I have not en-
tered into a full discussion of it but briefly stated the above
propositions that they may be fully ar'd frankly discussed,
and,the best possible solution reached.
THE HIGH-GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN COTUIT.
There have been 25 pupils enrolled in this school during
the year. The average membership has been 22.22 and the
average daily attendance 20.82.
Mr. Louis M. Boody continued as principal until the
close of the summer term and was re-elected for another
year. lie was successful in his work and the Cotuit people
would.have been pleased to have had him continue. He
evade application-, however, for the principal.ship of the
High school in Hyannis more than a year ago, and when the
unexpected resignation of Mr. Crawford occurred, the
Committee recognized Mr. Boodv's right and fitness for
promotion and honored him with the same. Mr. Boody
was sueceeded in Cotuit by Mr. Chas. L. Gifford who
entered upon his duties at the opening of the fall term.
120
Mr. Gifford is an earnest and faithful worker and has had
several years experience in a similar school,in another state.
At the close of the summer term the following'pupils
received 'diplomas for successfully .completing the, Hiah
school 'work prescribed•for this department:
ARCHIE HANDY, LORENZO T., GIFFORD, HELEN NEW-
COMBE. One of whom is now attending a business.colleae.
The graduates of the eighth grade grammar class will, be
found elsewhere:
The course of study for the Hiall school department-is
the same as,for the first and second years of the High school
in,Hyannis and the text books used are the same,
There ,are three scholars attending this school from
Marstons Mills who receive transportation money:

HIGH-GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN OSTERVILLE.'
There have been forty-one.pupils enrolled in this 'school
during the year. The average membership has been 36.50
and the average daily attendance 34.15. During the last
term, as will be noticed by the statistics, there have been 36
scholars, four of whom are in the High school department.
Miss Lillian Littlefield continued as principal until the close
of the summer term when she resigned to accept the princi-
palship of a grammar school in Ludlow, Mass. Miss Little-
121
field was exceptionally interested in her work and devoted
to the highest interestsW her pupils. The vacancy caused
by her resignation was filled by the election of My.. George
R. `Emerson of .Chatham. Mr. Emerson_ is ,a college
graduate and doing excellent work. . Miss,Theresa Lewis. ,
continued her good work as assistant.
Master Henry Parker was the only graduate from the two
years' course and in the fall entered the High school in
Hyannis. The graduates of the eighth grade grammar
department will be found elsewhere.
The course of study for. the High school A.epa.rtment is
the same as the first and second years of the High;school in;
Hyannis and the text books used are the same.

PROMOTIONS.
It is difficult in some cases to place the boy or girl just
where he deservedly belongs. No one knows better ordi-
narily than the teacher and superintendent of schools the
ability of the scholar to cope,with the required work and
the question of promotion should depend largely on this
ability.. The child should be placed where lie can derive
the most good. Faithful and honest work, however, should
always,be rewarded and no scholar will be kept back whose
regular attendance and diligent application to study make
123
him deserving of advancement. Monthly reports are now
required from the teachers for every scholar above the sec-
ond grade, stating the number of times tardy, the number
of times absent, the quality of work done in each study, the
deportment, etc., and the promotion will be largely regu-
lated by these reports. They are kept at the office of the
superintendent of schools and any parent or guardian is at
liberty to consult them.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
There are sixteen school buildings in town all of which,
excepting the one in-Pond Village, have been occupied dur-
ing the year. In addition to these the old post-office build-
ing in Hyannis has been rented and used throughout the
year. The new building on Ocean st., Hyannis, is about
completed and will be occupied in the early part of January.
A full description of this convenient and handsome struc-
ture will be found in the appendix. In view of occupying
this building as few repairs as possible have been made on
the old buildings in Hyannis. As will be seen in the finan-
cial report of the secretary about $165.00 has been expended
on the High school. Your local committee has felt that
any repairs, beyond such as. are necessary to, make this
building comfortable, are untimely. When .ave can have
the use of the entire building for the High school it should
be remodelled and made convenient and attractive. The
other buildings in the town are in .good repair and sufficient-
ly large for the present to accommodate the school. popula-
tion.
CONSOLIDATION.
I have already referred to instances in town where the
schools have been discontinued and the children transported
to other schools and have noted the satisfactory results at-
tending the same. The recent State Reports ,have much to
124
say in regard to this matter and we would like to quote free-
ly from them. The following may be interesting and in-
structive. "A very small school is always, comparatively.
speaking, an expensive one, and is generally wanting in that
enthusiasm usually found in larger well-regulated numbers,
which is so essential for success in the instruction and man-
agement of young people."
The following table shows how the importance of this sub-
ject is growing in the State

Some small communities, conservatively preferring time-
worn, customs, are somewhat slow to favor and adopt this
plan. Of course it can be employed in some, towns better
than in others; the face of the country, the roads and the lo-
cation of the people'having'some bearing on its feasibility.
But whenever it has-been put in operation with Good judg-
ment and given a• fair trial, it has usually won over to its
support many who previously did not favor .it, and has
'proved highly satisfactory. Whatever small iliconve,niences
may be occasioned by it are more than offset by ahe larger
advantages gained."
Out of the 353 towns in the State 213 were transporting
scholars last year. The report of this year will probably
show a still larger number.

In conclusion I beg leave to express my esteem for the
continued confidence reposed in me by the school board and
to attest to the citizens and patrons of the schools my sense
of obligation for their support and co-operation. To the
teachers also I wish to declare my sincere appreciation of
their patient and loving service and to the scholars my
desire to give them the best possible schools.

correct forms of speech. Talk with them about fa-
miliar things, and- by suggestive questions draw
them out to talk about things of interest, viz. : pie-
fures, games, animals, plants, home and school life.
Reading,—Begin with familiar objects. Teach pupils to
speak in pleasant, conversational tones—to give
ease and naturalness by reading in phrases. Thus
`I can see' should be spoken as fluently as `repar-
tee.' The articles a and the should always be
joined to the following word, as if they formed the
first syllable of it. About the middle of the year
read print and,script from the chart, and books of
the first year's grade.
Geography,—Teach, flat, round, curved, front, back, right,
left, above, below, North, South, East and West.

Physiology and Hygiene. Give instruction according to re-
quirements of Commonwealth. The law is as fol-
lows :
"Physiology and Hygiene, which, in both divisions of the subject,
shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic drinks,
stimulants, and narcotics on the human system, shall be taught as a
regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools supported wholly
or in part by public money."
141
Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly de-
fined by the following extract from the laws of our
Commonwealth :
"It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their best
endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, committed
to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and justice, and
a sacred regard to truth ; love of their country, humanity, and uni-
versal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and frugality; chastity,
moderation, and temperance; and those other virtues which are the
ornament of human society; and the basis upon which a republican
constitution is founded ; and it shall be the duty of such instructors
to endeavor to lead their pupils, as their ages and capacities will ad-
mit, into a clear understanding of the tendency of the above men-
tioned virtues, to preserve and perfect a republican constitution, and
secure the blessings of liberty as well as to promote their future
happiness, and also to point out to them the evil tendency of the op-
posite vices."
Physical Exercises. The requirements are as follows: "As
nearly -as practicable at the expiration of one-half
of each school session, five minutes shall be, de-
voted to physical exercises, to be taken at the same
time in all the classes. in the building; and during
this time the school-room shall be thoroughly ven-
tilated."
Text-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is
indicated in part by assigning pages in the text-
books; teachers, however, will omit, orpass rapid-
ly over,parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell
upon the more important subjects, using the text-
books as aids only.

APPENDIX.
The report of the schools for the year properly closes Dec.
31, 1895. Before the reports were fully printed, however,
the new training school building in Hyannis was dedicated
and occupied by the several schools. On the night of the
24th of January it was totally,destroyed by fire. We give
below a portion of the reports of these events as they ap-
peared in the `Barnstable Patriot.
The new school building that is to accommodate the ele-
mentary schools of Hyannis, that are to constitute the model
�nnd training school connected with the ,new State Normal
School to be established in this town, was dedicated with
becoming ceretrony-on Thursday last.
The new building was thrown open to the public for in-
spection, throughout the day, and, the dedicatory exercises
were held in-Masonic Hall in the afternoon.
Long b6fore the appointed hour Masonic Hall was filled,
many people were obliged to remain standing during the en-
tire program of exercises, and others did not gain an en-
trance. The inadequacy of the building to meet the demands
of the occasion was regretted. Although the majority pres-
ent were residents of Hyannis, there were many representa-
tives from the other villages of the town ;'for while Hyannis
directly is benefitted, yet this new school building is the °
property of the town., It was the town that so nobly re-
sponded to the call for it. In all that concerns our schools
there is known no one locality. It is the town of Barnsta-
154
ble that is inscribed in every school book, upon every diplo-
ma, and upon all school records. It has been the town's
money and liberal sentiment that in the past has made many
things possible, and this fine structure marks especially the
broad-minded judgment and patriotic sentiment of every
other village of the town.
The holiday aspect, the decorations, espechilly those in
the vicinity of the hall, the flags decking the interior of the
building, and the general spirit of enthusiasm, thrilled all.
The Sandwich brass band was in attendance, greatly en-
livening the occasion. The Schubert Quartette of Hyannis
kindly rendered two selections. Seated upon the platform
were the school board, former school committeemen, pres-
ent and past teachers of the town, the selectmen, the build-
ing committee, many of the clergy of the town, and repre-
sentative citizens.
The celebration opened with the divine blessing invoked
by Rev. J. W. McGregor of the Baptist church at Hyannis.
Following was a patriotic selection by the Band, and
America was sung by the Schubert Quartette, composed of
Messrs. N. B. H. Parker, E. E. Field,,Henry A. Stevens,
and William A. Doane.
Samuel W. Hallett, Superintendent of the Schools of
Barnstable, and a son of the good old town, was blaster of
Ceremonies, and introduced the speakers and announced the
various parts with choice and graceful remarks.
The ceremony of turning over the building by the Build-
in- Committee to the Selectmen and they in turn to the
School Board was formally and neatly carried out, sup-
plemented with a few well suited remarks by Capt. Thos.
Pattison, representing the Building Committee, followed by
a few terse temarks by Eben B. Crocker, Esq., of the Se-
lectmen. Mr. L. K. Paine, Chairman of the School Board,
responded in happy mood, picturing the auspicious prospect
155
in view for the schools, commenting on.the excellent quali-
fications of the teachers to be in charge, etc.
Franklin Crocker, Esq., spoke briefly, revealing the
name of the donor of the flag so generously presented by
Mr. Joshua Baker of Newton, a native and summer resident
of Hyannis, and offered the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted, while the name of Mr. Baker
called forth enthusiastic applause :
WHEREAS, Joshua Baker, Esq., a former resident of this village,
now of Boston, in the exercise of his well known generosity
has presented to the new Training School a beautiful flag,
therefore
Resolved, That we, citizens of the town of Barnstable, hereby
extend to Air. Baker our hearty thanks for his very generous gift.
And
Resolved, That the committee be requested to have these reso-
lutions published in the County papers, and that a copy be for-
warded to Mr. Baker.
The flag is an expensive and handsome one and marked
with its stripes and forty-five stars waves majestically in
front of the new building.
The chairman of the occasion in a brief speech accepted
the flag in behalf of the schools. Other speakers were the
Reverends Sarah A. Dixon of Barnstable, C. H. Murch of
Osterville, k H. Keens of Hyannis, J. A. Bevington of
Barnstable, H. S. Kimball of Hyannis, S. W. Clarke
of West Barnstable, W. R. Joyslin of Centreville, and J.
W. McGregor of Hyannis.
The exercise's throughout were of an exceedingly interest-
ing character and high order, and the remarks of each
speaker quite worthy of record. All were congratulatory
and paid high honor to the fine and costly structure so
beautifully located, so well and substantially built, so fully
equipped with all modern conveniences and appliances, and
adapted to the needs and purposes of the present and future
generations. It was indeed an event of extraordinary interest
,and most successfully arranged and carried out.
156
It was through the enterprise of Mr. William F. Ormsby
that the brass-band was secured. He made the canvass and
secured the requisite funds to pay the expense.
The band on arriving have several selections at the depot,
and a concert was given at the scbool-house before the exer-
cises in the hall commenced.
The illustration speaks for itself as to the external appear-
ance of the new building. The cut was made from drawings
furnished by the architects, Messrs. Howard & Austin, and
is a faithful perspective. The building is situated on Ocean
street between Main street and the Ocean street railroad
crossing at the intersection of South street. The rear of
the lot abuts the Normal School lot and the rear of this
building is on the east side of a hollow square formed by
the Normal School buildings.
The Training School building is built of West Barnstable
bricks with granite foundation and.brown stone and terra
Gotta trimmings. A broad plank walk leads from the side-
walk to the main entrance, which faces the east. The
entrance is through a porch with tiled floor and tbere is a
spacious hall running through the building. On each floor
.there are three school-rooms,two on the right, or north side,
and one on the south. These rooms are about 28x30 feet
and are seated for 42 to 48 pupils. At present there are
but five of the rooms to be iced—the one in the.northeast
corner on the first floor is not now needed for school ,pur-
poses.
The southeast room,that on the left as you enter, is seated
for 42 pupils and will be occupied by Grade No. 1, with
Miss Carolyn C. Ellis as teacher.
The northwest room on this floor will be occupied by the
2d Grade and half of the 3d Grade pupils, and will accom-
modate 48 pupils. Miss Bertha Cushman will have charge
of this room.
In the hall are hooks for hats and coats and pockets for
157
rubbers, etc., and a foot warmer at either end. , These
apartments are separated by heavy network of,. iron and
each school has a separate section independent of the others.
At either end of this ball are stairs leading up,and down.
On the second floor,at the right, in the northeast room, is
the Principal's department. This like: several others is to
accommodate 42 pupils, the 7th and 8th Grades, and will be
under the charge of Mr. R. Wallace Marston.. . In this
room, as in all others, are slate black-boards all around the
room, and there are speaking tubes connecting with all,
may co the
other rooms, so that the Principal ,.communicate with
any teacher without leaving his room.. : ,
The northwest room is for the .4th,Grade„and one-half of
the 3d Grade, Miss Mary E. Buckley, teacher., , .
The southeast room is for the 5th and Gth Grades, Mrs.
C. H. Wilbar, teacher. The view- from this. room is the
finest in the building; the harbor, sound and the shore
line for miles, and the entire eastern and southern portions
of the village are in view.
There are two entrances into each- school room, and in
each room, is a book closet with-,glass doors and a,clothes
press for the use of the, teacher...,.
In the hall on the second floor; are clothes racks, etc.,
same as below. There is also on,_this floor a room.for the
Principal and for supplies, toilet room, etc.
In the basement are the furnaces—five in number,,two
for heating the several school rooms, one:. for heating the
halls and one for ventilating purposes,-in the.base of the
big chimney, and another small one :connected with the
closets. - The boys' end of the. basement is in the west
section and that of the girls in the east. The closets. are of
the most improved pattern, all supplied with running,water
from a 200-gallon tank in the attic,. ,This tank is.supplied
by a force pump in the basement. . Capt. Horace K. Hal-
lett, the janitor, took considerable pride in showing us over
158
this part of the building and explaining the system of heat-
ing, ventilating and plumbing.
The builders were Messrs. N. Bradford & Son of Hyannis
and George Bradford of Plymouth, the latter doing the
masonry and the local firm the carpentry and joinery. The
contract price was $19,318, and the ventilating and heating
apparatus cost $1,875 more. The town appropriated
$23,000. Messrs. H. W. Gray & Sons were the sub-con-
tractors to do the painting, etc. All the inside finish is in
hard woods. The plumbing was also a sub-contract and
was done by a Plymouth firm.
The ventilating and heating system is one of the principal
features of the new building. This system is one of the
most improved and is so arranged that 1800 cubic feet of i
fresh air for each pupil are introduced into each room every
hour. The heating is guaranteed under $2,000 bonds to be
of uniform temperature and of 70 degrees in coldest weath-
er,.and that there shall not be a difference of more than 3
degrees in any two seats of same level at same time. If
any rooms become overheated the temperature can be re-
duced by the ventilating apparatus 5 degrees each ten min-
utes without opening windows, doors or transoms.
The need for such a school building at Hyannis has long
been felt. The old buildings have served the town faith-
fully for many years, but long ago failed to meet the re-
quirements of the present generation. It is doubtful, how-
ever, had not the state made the erection of such a building
a part of the obligation of the town in accepting the '_Normal
School, if we would have had the building for years to come.
In 1893 the matter of better school accommodation at
Hyannis was brought before the town by the school com-
mittee. So great was the opposition that the meeting re-
fused to bear argmnents in its favor. It was voted 80 to 61
to indefinitely postpone the article under which this matter
was to be considered, and it was not until after this vote
159
was taken that the town granted Messrs. Franklin Crocker,
L. K. Paine, Superintendent Hallett, and C: D. Meserve
ten minutes each to speak in favor of better school accom-
modations at Hyannis, and the spokesman for the opposition
was allowed ten minutes more to reply.
In 1894 the same article was again inserted in the war-
rant for the annual meeting, at the request of the School
Committee. Superintendent Hallett fairly argued for the
erection,of a.building costing about $15,000 and consolidat-
ing the schools of Hyannis. He was followed by Messrs.
L. K: Paine, H. M. Hutchings, John C. Fish, Franklin
Crocker, James H. Jenkins, !Alen G. Baxter, and Dr. •E.
C. Hinckley. Four gentlemen spoke, against the plan of
the School Committee; some with candor and others with?
bitterness and sarcasm. On putting the matter to a vote,
166 voted to indefinitely postpone, and 61 against. The
progressive element held its own, as the vote stood 61 at
both meetings, but the opposition received this year acces-
sions in large numbers.
This is how matters stood when the State Board of Edu-
cation selected Hyannis as the place to locate the Barnstable
County Normal School. On June 6th, 1894, the bill es-
tablishing a Normal School in this county was approved.
Section 6 of that act provided that "the State Board of Edu-
cationmay, in its discretion, make an agreement, in writ-
ing," with the town, "for the maintenance of practice schools
therein in connection with said Normal School, and may
provide for the payment of such portion of the compensa-
tion of the supervising teachers employed in said practice
schools as they may deem just and equitable."
The matter of a new school building at Hyannis took on
a rosier hue under this state of affairs, and all opposition
quickly vanished, like dew before a morning sun, and on the
26th day of December of the same year, the town voted
unanimously to accept the conditions of the Normal School
160
act, and straibhtway' went about carrying into effect the
town's part of.the agreement. A lot was selected and pur-
chased, plans were procured and early in May the.contract
for building was made. Preliminary work commenced May
13th, and ground was broken a few days later and within
a week the work was well under way.
The.schools commenced in the new building this morning.
It is the finest school building in this part of the state, an
ornament to the place and an honor to the.Town of Barn-
stable. The building committee on-the .part of the town
consisted of Chas. C. Crocker,'Esq., Capt. Thomas.Pattison,
and Dr. E. E. Hawes.. They have performed their duties
faithfully, and notwithstanding the 'discouragements they
have met with at different stages of- the work, they have
worked with -redoubled energy until their task was .com-
pleted, and this building will ever be a monument to their
fidelity to the interests of the town.

THE NEW BUILDING DESTROYED BY FIRE.
A little after 9 o'clock on Friday evening, .Tan. 24, an
alarm of fire was sounded throughout the village, occasioned
by the discovery that the new brick school building on
Ocean street, Hyannis, was on fire. The citizens turned
out in large numbers and watched the progress of the
devouring element—for that was about all they could do.
The church bells were rung and the old band fire-engine
.from the railroad shops was hauled to the scene. The bells
seemed to increase the excitement of the crowd, which
grew with every peal. The engine was useless after it
arrived, as water was scarce and hose was not in abundance.
Men rushed into the building and removed anything they
could lay hands upon.
When the fire was first discovered, it appeared to be in
the basement near the crematory furnace connected with the
closets. Among those first on the spot it was the opinion
that with buckets.the fire could be handled. Buckets were
secured'of neighbors and the men and boys worked with a
will and it looked as though the fire was under control,
when it was discovered that in and about the ventilator
shaft the fire was gaining headway. At this point all effort
was unavailing and fighting was abandoned. There being
no prospect of putting out the fire after it broke through
the roof, the crowd set about saving what could be saved.
Doors were unhung, seats ripped up, windows taken out,
books and other portable articles were carried to a safe
distance.
The wind at the time was very light and from the east.
The roof being covered with slate, the flying embers were
not large, and the weather being thick and the atmosphere
heavy, no damage was done to surrounding property,
although Pearl and Main streets in the wake of the shower
of sparks were continually sprinkled.
At about 10.30 the roof fell in and carried with it the
163
north outside wall. The big chimney still stands and the
south wail is cracked and warped. The front wall is in
quite good condition. It is a sorry looking sight when com-
CD
pared with the -building as it stood at sunset on Friday
evening. It was a grand building, the pride of Hyannis
and the town, and its loss is keenly felt on every hand.
.The schools had been in session in the new building just.
two weeks. The instruction given the janitor was to fire
the crematories every two weeks. Accordingly, at close
of school Friday afternoon the fires were lighted. All the
waste of the closets in the building is conveyed to a trench
below the basement floor, which is bricked up at bottom
and sides and with iron top. At one end of this trench or
flue is a furnace and the other end connects with a flue in
the big chimney. The operation .is like this : The heat
and gases from the furnace pass through the trench or flue
over the accumulations therein, and by evaporation every-
thing passes up the chimney, and is disposed of in this way.
The principle involved in this operation is that approved
and recommended by the state inspectors of public build-
ings, and is in operation in all modern school''buildings.
It is supposed by many that the principle adopted by our
Building Committee was something new and untried, but it
,is not so; it has long been acknowledged the best and most
thorough system from a Sanitary and economical standpoint,
yet devised.
It was the first'time this arrangement had been put into
operation. All other fires in building had been running for
several weeks. As the fire when first discovered was in the
vicinity of the crematory apparatus, it is supposed it origi-
nated therefrom. All the other furnaces in the building
were examined by those early on the spot, and nothing un-
usual about them was noticed. The cellar was full of smoke
as were the halls and rooms above. The janitor left the
building at 8 o'clock and at that time he noticed nothing
164
unusual, and everything appeared to be safe for the night.
The building cost about $23,000, and there was about
$14,000 insurance. There was also about $600 insurance
on books and apparatus.
An inquest will probably be held to determine. if possible
the cause of the fire. The contractors for the heating and
ventilating plant are under $2,000 bond guaranteeing the
conditions of their contract until April next.
Saturday afternoon the following petition was circulated
and signed by thirty legal voters, and it was presented to the
Selectmen by .Dr. E. E. Hawes :
BAR\STABLE,. Mnss., Jan. 25, 1896.
To the Selectmen of Barn"stable: '
We, the undersigned, citizens and legal voters of the town of
Barnstable, hereby petition your honorable board to call a special
meeting of the voters of the town, at as early a date as practicable,
to consider the matter of rebuilding the model and training school
building in the village of Hyannis, destroyed by fire on the night
of Jan. 24th, to make an appropriation for the same, and to act
fully in all matters pertaining thereto.
The petition was received by the Selectmen, who were
holding a meeting at the town office, and the warrant for the
special town meeting to be held Thursday, Feb. 6th, was
drawn.
The schools for the present will go back to their old quar-
ters in the old buildings as soon as they can be made ready.
The modern -furniture in several of the old buildings was
removed to the new building and was destroyed. This
furniture must-be replaced. Nearly all the books, etc.,
were also destroyed, which must also be replaced.
The School Committee now expect to be able to re-open
the schools on Monday morning, Feb. 3, at 8.30 o'clock.
The children will attend the same schools as they did previous
to occupying; the new building.
At a special town meeting 'held on Thursday, Feb. 6,
the sum of$12,000.00 in addition to the $14,000.00 to be
paid by the insurance companies was appropriated for the
purpose of reconstructing the burnt building. The follow-
ing building committee was appointed:- Joseph W. Tall-
man, Chas. Vb'. Hinckley, and Frank H. Hinckley.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. .
HYANNIS, Dec. 31, 1896.
To the School Committee of Barnstable. .
GENTLEMEN:
In accordance with your rules I herewith respectfully
submit my first annual report of the Schools of Barnstable
for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1896.
As statistics are to the minds of most people dry and un-
interesting and apt to repel rather than attract, I beg leave
to present the statistical part of this report, in a statement
immediately following my concluding remarks on the con-
dition of our schools.
In entering upon the duties of Superintendent I was not
unacquainted with the condition of educational affairs in
the town, owin- to my.former experience as a teacher in t-wo
of your schools, and to my knowledge gained through a
three years' residence in town, from several of,your teachers
who have served you long and faithfully.
CHANGES.
Teachers.
I found as co-laborers in charge, of the several schools
the,same teachers, with one exception, that had served you
the preceding year. That exception was in the Barnstable.
High School where a vacancy was filled by the appoint-
113
ment of Miss Arline H. Smith of Athol, a graduate of
Wellesley College, '95. Other changes that have been nec-
essary.are as follows:
Mr. Joseph Burrell, West Barnstable, resigned the prin-
cipalship of his school before the opening of the fall term
to accept a position in .the Boston public schools; Mr.
Thos. A. Delaney, a graduate of Boston College and a for-
mer teacher in the Lowell High School, succeeded Mr.
Burrell.
At the close of the fall term Mr. Goo. R. Emerson, Oster-
ville Grammar School, and Miss Isabel Moir, West Barn-
stable Primary School, resigned .their positions. Their
successors are Mr. Norman S. 11IcKendrick and Miss Mary
O. Thayer respectively.
Mr. McKendrick is a graduate of the Bridgewater State
Normal School and has previously taught in Raynham.
Miss Thayer was educated in the Brockton High-School
and the Howard Seminary, West,Bridgewater.
Mrs. Nellie Baker did not enjoy her usual degree of
health during the past term and Miss Millie A. Rhodehouse
of Santuit has substituted for her in the Cotuit Grammar
School. Mrs. Baker is expected to be able to return to her
school duties next term.
Introduction of 91h year into Elementary Schools.
One of the first duties which you were required to per-
form before the beginning of the school year was to devise
some plan.for carryinig into effect, the change requested by
the town, in the Barnstable,. West Barnstable and Centre-
ville Grammar Schools, viz., 'to make more extensive and
thorough the instruction in the English branches. If I
mistake,not the committee were requested at the last town
meeting to provide for a two years' course of study in ad-
dition to the course which has heretofore been pursued in
the above mentioned schools.
Acting in accordance with this expressed desire of. .the
town, you voted, at the first committee meeting after my
114
election, to extend the time allotted to the regular grammar '
school course, one year, this change to take effect on the
opening of the fall term in the Barnstable, West Barnstable
and Centreville Schools, and in the other schools of the
town as soon as practicable.
The Course of Study for this additional or ninth year
has included the following subjects: Book Keeping, Com-
mercial Arithmetic, Civil Government, History, English
Literature and Physiology.
It seems to me unwise to make any provision for a loth
year's work other than to allow any pupil who wishes to do
.so to review the 8th or 9th year.
With the exception just noted, it has been my general
policy to follow my predecessor's course of study in all the
schools, as I believe no change would be beneficial until the
Normal School is opened and the State Board of Education
assumes joint jurisdiction over the Training School with the
school committee. At that time it will be well to con-
sider the advisability of adopting the Course of Studies for
Elementary Schools, prepared under the direction of the
Mass. Board of Education.
Consolidation of Hyannis Elementary Schools in Training
School Building.
The New Year 1897 will find the elementary schools of
Hyannis and Hyannis Port consolidated in the new Train-
ing School building on Ocean St. and under the charge of
the same teachers that began their work under similar con-
ditions one year ago.
The Training School building is well adapted to the pur-
poses for which it was built and makes possible that kind
and quality of instruction and discipline which is usually
found in cities and towns larger than our own.
A detailed description of this edifice which would be out
of place here may be obtained in the Hyannis Patriot of
Jan. 4th, 1897.
h
115
Discontinuance of.High School Subjects in Osterville Grama-
mar School.
On the opening of the fall term instruction in the high
school branches was discontinued in the Osterville High-
Grammar School owing to the lack of a sufficient number
of pupils: The three scholars who were qualified to pursue
high school studies wisely decided to attend the Barnstable
High School.
This change to a pure grammar school is a step in the.
right direction and has necessitated the employment of only
one teacher. The services of another teacher can be em-
ployed with profit as soon as the ninth grade is introduced.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Elimination of Grammar Grade from Cotuit Fligh-Gram-
mar School.
The Cotuit High-Grammar School has three grades:
the last year of the grammar school and the first two years
of the high school. I am of the opinion that it would be
for the highest interest of this school to eliminate the
Eightli Grammar Grade and assign it to its more legitimate
sphere, the grammar school.
At present we are trying to accomplish with a single
teacher, in 68 weeks of school, the same high school work
that is performed in the Barnstable High School with more
teachers 'in 80 weeks of school. Beeping this fact in mind
and adding to it that the Eighth Grammar Grade has to
receive its share of attention, it will be readily seen
that the Cotuit high school work can not compare favor-
ably with that of the Barnstable High School. Such a.
change as I have suggested seems to me worthy of a fair
trial.
Urgent Need of New Building for Barnstable High School.
The Barnstable High School has not yet received the
approval of the Mass. Board of Education. I find that such
116
approval is given when satisfactory answers can be made to
the following questions: "Is the plan orscheme of the school
such that,if the teachers do good work it may hold respect-
able rank as a high school? that is is the curriculum suf-
ficiently true to the statutes, comprehensive in its subjects,
orderly in its arrangements and full in its time allotments to
merit approval? Is the teaching force large enough to do
the work called for by the curriculum? Is the school plant
reasonably complete in rooms, laboratories and conveniences)
Is it in short a school in which pupils of good capacity
may reasonably expect under fair teaching to prepare them-
selves creditably for higher institutions or for the activities
of business, social and civil life?" To some of these ques-
tions all affirmative reply call be made, but to one very es-
sential query our answer must be in the negative.
Our school plant,is not reasonably complete in rooms,
laboratories and conveniences. We have no room suitable
for drawing, no laboratory either chemical or physical.
There is no opportunity whatever for systematic individual
laboratory work on the part of the pupils in any of the
sciences. We are very poorly supplied with apparatus for
science work and even if supplied there is no place where
the apparatus could be properly cared for. Learning
science or.rather attempting to learn science from text
books alone is to say the least decidedly unscientific.
Before another school year has begun a higher institu-
tion of learning, the Barnstable County Normal School,
will be established in our midst and our High School will
be expected to prepare students for admission to said
school. This it can not do if the standard of requirements
for admission remains the same as it is at present, namely,
a high school education such as is to be gained in an ap-
proved school.
Our High School building is in short inadequate to the
present needs of the school and it seems to me imperative,
if we would remain in the forefront of educational progress,
that.a new building,furnished with the privileges of labora.-
117
tory and drawing rooms, such as are to be found in other
good high schools, be erected at the earliest possible day.
It is due to our youth that we remain not inactive in the
present crisis. The town expends a large amount of money
for educational purposes at the present time but this fact
ought not to operate against making our high school first-
class in every respect, causing it to be what it should be, the
crowning glory of our educational system. I trust that our
people will give this matter'the consideration that right-
fully belongs to it.
Supervision in Drawing and Music.
Drawing has been a required study for more than twen-
ty years and ought to occupy a not inferior position among
other essential branches; yet,the fact is that the amount of
attention paid to it has been trivial. The reason for this.
condition is obvious: A multiplicity of subjects has forced
the drawing aside; the teachers as a rule have considered
that they have enough to do without it. Some teachers, I
presume, have been incapable of teaching it, never having
received instruction in drawing themselves. A few teachers
have shown what could be done under more favorable cir-
cumstances. To make more favorable circumstances than
we now have possible and to make snecessful instruction
very. probable, I recommend that a special instructor of
drawing be engaged who shall give his entire time to in-
augurating and perfecting such a system as prevails in most
of the towns of the commonwealth of over 4,000 inhabitants.
Of 107 sucli towns only 15 are without special supervisors.
Barnstable ought to join the majority at no distant date.
Instruction in music is optional with the school committee
but as music is no longer regarded as a mere accomplish-
ment but is conceded to be of distinct educational value, its
importance ought not to be overlooked. We find here and
there a teacher who is doing something in music but gen-
erally speaking, this branch is neglected. Here also the
remedy is plain. Special supervision is needed, It is
118
highly probable that if the town moves to do anything in
this matter a person can be found capable of supervising in
both drawing and music. The town of Yarmouth already
enjoys the services of such a person.
I am convinced that the two subjects under discussion
can not be satisfactorily taught without special supervision.
These subjects are among those now required for admission
to the Normal schools. ' Can there be any question as to
what our duty is here if we wish to supply our quota of
Normal trained teachers?
Vertical Penmanship.
Vertical penmanship has been introduced in some of
the schools. The merits of this system are so clearly prov-
en that I shall make the introduction of this branch gener-
al. Our more progressive educators have been won over to
the belief that vertical writing is preferable to the slant, in
thatit.is more legible, more rapid and better adapted to a
proper observance of hygienic laws. The results which our
teachers have thus far obtained go to show that, with the
same amount of attention paid to the vertical as has hereto-
fore been given to the slant system our boys and girls will
leave the schools with a better handwriting than they now
do.
TRANSPORTATION TO HIGH SCHOOL.
The same means of transportation to the Barnstable
High School are emploved as heretofore. The scholars
from West Barnstable and Barnstable who come on the
train now avoid the tiresome and undesirable features
which they formerly experienced on the freight train. The
morning passenger train arrives at Hyannis at 10 o'clock
and the school program is made with a view to the accom-
modation of these scholars. By such an arrangement a
very small amount of instruction is lost.
119
TEXT BOOKS AND SUPPLIES:
At least $1,200 ought to be appropriated for text books
and supplies for 1897. A great many books are in poor
condition and must be replaced if good teaching is to con-
tinue. The High school is in special need of reference
books. A former principal of the school recently wrote me
that lie never knew of a High school so poorly supplied
with books of reference as is ours. I am not prepared to
make comparisons yet I sometimes marvel how the teachers
achieve so much when they have not more of these books to
place in the hands of their pupils.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion I would state that I have sought in this
report to bring to your attention only those matters which
appear to me,of vital importance and I hope that.such,facts
as I have been able to present may be in some measure
contributary to the advancement of education i❑ the town.
Respectfully yours,
F. W. KINGMAN,
Supt. of Schools.

The High School is established to provide an advanced
course of study for those pupils who have completed the
studies prescribed for the grammar schools and possess the
requisite qualifications. Each pupil is required, unless by
special permission, to pursue, at least, three branches of
t
124
study. There are three courses of study :—An English
Course, a Latin-English Course, and a Classical Course.
At the commencement of the course, parents or guardians
may elect which course shall be pursued by the pupil.

Physiology and Hygiene. Give instruction according to re-
quirements of Commonwealth. The law is as fol-
lows :
"Physiology and Hygiene, which, in both divisions of the sub-
ject, shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants, and narcotics on the human system, shall be
taught as a regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools sup-
ported wholly or in part by public money,"
143
Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly de-
fined by the following extract from the laws of our
Commonwealth
"It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their
best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, coin-
mitted to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and
justice, and a sacred retard to truth; love of their country, hu-
manity, and universal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and fru-
gality; chastity, moderation, and temperance; and those other
virtues which are the ornament of human society; and the basis
upon which a republican constitution is founded; and it shall be
the duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead their pupils, as
their ages and capacities will admit, into a clear understandinency of the above mentioned virtues, to preserve and g of
the tend per-
fect a republican constitution, and secure the blessings of liberty
as well as to promote their future happiness, and also to point out .
to them the evil tendency of the opposite vices."
Phvsical Exercises. The requirements are as follows : "As
nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-half
of each school session, five minutes shall be de-
voted to physical exercises,to be taken at the same
time in all the classes in the building; and during
this time the school-room shall be thoroughly ven-
tilated."
Text-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is
indicated in part by assigning pages in the text
hooks; teachers, however, will omit, or pass rapid-
ly over,parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell
upon the more important subjects, using the text-
books as aids only.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
HYANNIS, Dec. 31, 1897.
To the School Committee of Barnstable.
GENTLEMEN:
In accordance with established custom, I have the lion-
or to submit herewith my second annual report of the
schools of Barnstable.
TEACHERS.
The past year has brought several changes in the per-
sonnel of our teaching force.
The services of Mrs. Lizzie A. Smith, who for nearly a
quarter of a century was the guiding spirit of the East
Barnstable school, terminated at the close of the spring
term last June.
The regret caused by Mrs. Smith's resignation was very
deep and general. This estimable lady, as an instructor
and character builder, has made a reputation' second to
none. A very large number of her former pupils bore pub-
lic testimony to the high regard in which they hold her by
tendering her a reception in Agricultural Hall soon after
the opening of the present school year.
Mrs. Smith's successor is Miss Mercy E. Kelley, a four
years' graduate of the Bridgewater Normal School.
Miss Carolyn C. Ellis, teacher of the 1st grade in the
Training School, resigned at the close of the winter term,
intending to devote her labors to another line of. work.
91
Miss Ellis' health however did not permit this change of vo-
cation and after a few weeks' rest at home she very reluct-
antly consented to take charge of the Barnstable Primary
School in place of Miss Josie Litchfield who resigned in the
middle of the spring term.
No teacher of the town of Barnstable ever worked in a
more self-sacrificing spirit than has Miss Ellis during the
long service that she has given to the town.
Her methods of instruction came as near to the ideal as
those of any teacher whom I have known.
Miss Anna W. Olmsted of Wellesley who received her
special preparation for teaching at the Salem Normal School
is the present teacher of the Barnstable Primary School.
The position of 1st grade teacher in the Training School
was filled by the appointment of Miss Charlotte I. Smith of
Buzzards Bay. Miss Smith is a graduate of the Bridgewa-
ter Normal School.
Several changes have been made in teachers at Cotuit
since the close of the last school year. Mrs. Nellie M. Ba-
ker, who taught the sixth and seventh grades most accepta-
bly, withdrew from service on account of ill health. Miss
Margaret N. Cleveland of Rockland, Maine, a graduate from
the four years' course of the Bridgewater Normal School,is
Mrs. Baker's successor.
Mr. Chas. L. Gifford resigned the principalship of the
High Grammar School and Mr. E. D. Bodfish of Cotuit, a
former teacher of proven ability, was made principal. Mr.
Bodfish taught but a few weeks and Mr. Gifford was reap-
pointed.
The loss from changes in teachers is sometimes very
great, but in this instance the detriment to the school was
reduced to a minimum as both gentlemen lived in the same
village, had taught there previously and were in frequent
consultation concerning school matters in general and par-
ticular.
The Osterville schools opened the year in charge of three
teachers instead of two as heretofore. . A. third room for the
92
Intermediate grades was made ready during the summer
vacation and Miss Bertha Lovell who had earned promotion
was placed in charge.
Miss Sara H. Jones of West Barnstable, it Bridgewater
Normal graduate, succeeds Miss Lovell as teacher of the
Primary department.
: Conditions for doing excellent work were never more fa-
vorable in Osterville than at the present time. With fewer
grades and a smaller number of pupils the teachers can the
better concentrate their energies and give more time to in-
dividual instruction. I believe it is everywhere acknowl-
edged that it is a defect of our school system that more
care is not given to the individual pupil. An appreciable
advance has been made in this regard in the Osterville
schools.
The Plains school was discontinued from Oct. 11th to
Nov. 8th, as the school committee believed it would be bet-
ter for the few scholars in the district to attend the West
Barnstable schools and receive the advantages attendant up-
on instruction in graded schools. The arrangements made
did not win the approval of the interested parents and a
special town meeting was called at which the committee
were requested to re-open the school with the same.number
of grades and the same course of study as the Newtown
school has provision for.
The desired change has been made and the school is now
in charge of Miss Millie A. Rliodehouse of Santuit.
It will be observed that in the appointment of teachers I
have selected, without exception, those who have had Nor-
mal training, and all but two are Normal graduates.
No more important duty falls upon a superintendent than
the selection of teachers and it has seemed to your superin-
tendent that the chances for success would be very much
greater if candidates for teaching positions were taken from
those who intended to make teaching their life work and
who had made the best possible preparation.
I have given no encouritgement to young graduates fresh
93
from the High schools, who are anxious to teach school be-
cause they do not know what other use they can make of
their education.
Teaching school is not a business to be taken up as a last
resort for earning a livelihood. It is the holiest and the
most exacting of all vocations and one may well reflect be-
fore he or she asks for an opportunity to labor in a field
where the cares and responsibilities are so great.
It is moreover manifestly unjust to appoint a teacher
without training in preference to one who has been profes-
sionally prepared by a two or four years' course at a Nor-
mal school. What encouragement can there be for students
to pursue a Normal school course if they find upon gradua-
tion that non-graduates are preferred for places which they
have rightfully earned?
There is no possible reason why all graduates of High
schools on Cape Cod may not have Normal training if they
intend to become teachers. Normal schools are designed
for teachers and no one else. Their work is professional
and they welcome to their ranks all who will elevate the
profession of teaching by receiving a professional training.
The Hyannis State Normal School will gladly open its por-
tals to anyone, anywhere, who will promise to teach in
Massachusetts for one year after the course is completed,
but especially does this Normal school ask that young men
and young women of the Cape will not neglect the opportu-
nities now so freely offered to them.
I urge upon all who would become teachers, the supreme
importance of getting ready for the duties of their sacred
calling in the most thorough manner.
The Hyannis Normal School can render all such an in-
valuable service.
EDUCATIONAL TOPICS.
Training School.
The time draws near when the town must relinquish a
portion of the control which it has exercised over the Train-
a�
94
ing School. At a recent conference of the school committee
and the principal of the Normal School an agreement was
drawn up for the joint control of the school, by. the town
and the state.
This agreement follows very closely the out- between
North Adams and the state, a few minor changes being
made to meet peculiar local conditions. It is to be sub-
mitted to the voters at their annual town meeting. It reads

AGREEMENT FOR THE CONDUCT OF A SCHOOL OF OBSERVATION
AND PRACTICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE STATE NORMAL
SCHOOL, HYANNIS, MASS.
In accordance with Section 6, Chapter 457, Acts of 1894,
whereby the Town of Barnstable, Mass., agreed in writing "to
hereafter furnish suitable and sufficient school buildings and mod-
el and practice schools in connection with the training departments
of the Normal School to be established at Hyannis."
This agreement is made and entered into this clay of
in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight,by
and between the Town of Barnstable, in the County of Barnstable
and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting through
thereto duly authorized, and the school committee of said Town of
Barnstable, acting through the said thereto duly authorized,
parties of the first part, and the State Board of Education, acting
for and in behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as the
party of the second part, to establish and maintain a School of Ob-
servation and Practice upon, the following terms:
SECTION I. The Town of Barnstable agrees-
1. To the use of the Section 17 school by the Normal School
as a School of Observation and Practice.
2. To include within the same all grades of the Primary and
ZD
Grammar departments.
3. To furnish, heat, clean and repair the buildings and care for
the grounds.
4. To provide a principal and assistant teachers not exceeding
in number the number of rooms.
95
5. To expend for teachers' salaries, text-books, supplies and
apparatus for the said school sums of money which shall be, in
each year, that proportional part of the total expenditure by the
town for teachers' salaries, text-books, supplies and apparatus, ex-
cluding those furnisbed the High school and the four ungraded
schools in Sections 8, 9, 10, and 12,which the average-yearly-num-
ber of pupils of the Section 17 school is of the average-yearly-
number of pupils attending all the schools of the town, excluding
the High school and the said ungraded schools.
6. To maintain a school of such size, as will provide pupils for
each room to a number not inconsistent with the welfare of the pu-
pils and the use of the class for the said purpose of observation
and practice.
7. All and each of the above provisions shall be satisfactory to
the Board of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
SECTION II. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts agrees-
1. To use the Section 17 school as a School of Observation
and Practice in such a manner as to equal at the least the general
educational requirements of the school committee of the Town of
Barnstable.
2. To pay the principal and assistant teachers of the said
school, in addition to the amount paid by the Town of Barnstable,
such salaries as shall be necessary to provide teachers qualified for
the peculiar work of the said school.
3. To expend for text-books, supplies and apparatus, in addi-
tion to the money expended by the Town of Barnstable for the
said purpose, such sums of money as shall be necessary for the
proper conduct of the said school as a school of observation and
practice, such material to be marked "Property of the State Nor-
mal School, Hyannis, Mass."
4. All and each of the above named provisions shall be with
the approval of the school committee of the Town of Barnstable.
SECTION III. It is further mutually agreed by the Town of Barn-
stable and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts-
1. That all teachers of the School of Observation and Prac-
tice shall be nominated by the principal of the Normal School,
their election, as for all teachers, being by the school committee.
96
2. That all courses of study, test-books and changes therein
shall be approved by the principal of the Normal School and the
school committee of said town before going into effect.
3. That all matters of promotion, discipline, attendance and
truancy shall be under the care of the school committee of said
town.
SECTION IV. It is finally mutually agreed by the Town.of Barn-
stable and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
-
1. That this agreement shall be subject to such modifications
as shall be agreed upon hereafter by the said Town and Common-
wealth.
2. That this agreement does not so fully sleet the requirements
of Section 6, Chapter 457, Acts of 1894, as to prevent further pro-
vision for "Model and Practice Schools" in a manner to be agreed
upon mutually by the said Town and Commonwealth.
The Trailing School has been in successful operation one
year and all the rooms but one have been occupied. Some
rooms have been crowded to their utmost capacity. This
congestion would have been relieved by furnishing the un-
occupied room and employing another teacher if the appro-
priations for teachers'salaries had permitted. The princi-
pal and his associates will welcome the aid which an addi-
tional teacher can give.
But one scholar from the Eighth grade entered the High
School in September. The Ninth year's work was intro-
duced and all but three pupils of the Eighth grade were re-
quired to continue in the school another year. Two of
these three preferred the Ninth grade to the High School.
The one who was admitted to the High School had been
a member of the Eighth grade for two years.
Parents generally seem to be well pleased that their chil-
dren are to be better fitted before going to the High School.
High School.
The hampering conditions at the High School, which
were discussed in my last report, still continue. The want
97
of proper equipment for laboratory work of any kind and the
absence of arrangements that are conducive to an observance
of hygienic laws are themes most frequently mentioned by
those who are alive to the highest interests of the school.
Physical welfare demands good light, an even distri-
bution of heat and proper ventilation. The High School
building can hardly claim to be the dispensary of any of
these promoters of health. A worthy local pride has found
expression in many of the towns of the commonwealth the '
past year in the erection of high school buildings. This
movement of replacing old and inconvenient buildings with
new ones having modern requirements is spreading through-
out the state. People are beginning to see that it is not
economy to patch up an old frame.
I am confident that the voters of Barnstable, if they could
make a personal inspection of our High School building, in-
side and out, talk with the teachers'as to what is required
of them from higher institutions of learning, would not hes-
itate to vote an appropriation for an edifice to supplant the
present structure. If, after such a visit, they were still not
convinced let them visit other towns on Cape Cod and see
how much better High School buildings they have than we.
No doubt comparisons are odious,especially so,when made
to our disfavor. However, a knowledge of what our neigh-
bors have done and are doing often stimulates us to do as
well, or even better. Perhaps Barnstable cannot afford to
have as good a building as Falmouth, but can she not and
ought she not to have as good a one'as Provincetown? I
believe that our people still love learning more than lucre
and will soon give proof that they do by constructing: a
high school building that will be worthy of the reputation
which the town has won for being up to date in school
matters.
The graduation exercises of the class of 1897 were held in .
the Universalist Church, June 24th, before a large audience
whose natural interest in the graduation had been given a
new impetus by the discussion as to the merits of the cus-
98
tomary form of graduation and the "new method" which the
class, the principal and his associate teachers, the superin-
tendent and a large majority of the parents of the graduates
were heartily in favor of. The arguments pro and con need
not here be rehearsed. It is perhaps sufficient to say that
there was very much less hostile expression of opinion con-
cerning the "departure" after graduation than before.
The kind of graduation should depend upon circum-
stances. It is fair to presume that the principal and his
teachers, the school committee and superintendent are in
as good a position as any one to determine what kind of ex-
ercise is best. Whatever method of graduation is deter-
mined upon,the school authorities should not be condemned
hastily. Those charged with the .management of your
schools are actuated solely by motives which look to the
highest welfare of the scholars.
Members of the school, non-residents of Hyannis, since
the change from two sessions to one have suffered no loss of
time. School begins at 10.15 A. M. and closes at 3.15 P. M.,
which gives ample time for train students to arrive and de-
part.
Singing and Drawing.
The special supervisor of Singing and Drawing, Miss Ma-
belle M. Hemenway of Waltham, a graduate of the Boston
Normal Art School, began her labors in September., The
teachers have met her in the most cordial spirit and have
given themselves heartily to carrying out the work laid out
for them.
The results accomplished in these branches in so short a
time come fully up to the most sanguine expectations of the
advocates of this method of instruction in singing and draw-
ing and foretell what a long continuance of this practice will
do for our children.
One gentleman who was somewhat sceptical as to the
wisdom and expediency of employing a special teacher in
singing was present at the closing exercises of one of our
99
schools where the singing was a prominent feature of the
program, and expressed himself as doubtful no longer.
This gentleman, it may be added, was a teacher of singing
of many years' experience and an endorsement from such a
source could not be won except upon merits of the results
shown.
Each school in town outside of Hyannis is visited every
second week by the supervisor. The Hyannis schools are
visited every week, the Training school for instruction in
drawing and the High School for instruction in both sing-
ing and drawing.
The Training School has the services of the Normal School
singing teacher and our supervisor is privileged to observe
his methods; all schools in town are benefitted thereby as
many suggestions are received that prove helpful to Miss
Hemenway in her teaching.
The distribution of time as here stated is believed to be
as equitable as any that can be made. More time is given
to Hyannis than to any other village because the number
of scholars to be instructed is greatly in excess of the num-
ber in other villages. In fact about two-fifths of all scholars
in town are enrolled in the Hyannis schools.
Your careful attention is invited to the report of the
special supervisor which accompanies this report.
Ninth Grade's Studies.
The ninth grade has been introduced in all the Grammar
schools except Cotuit. The conditions in that village still
render this step impracticable.
Barnstable and West Barnstable, two of the original
claimants for a more extensive English course, are at pres-
ent without any ninth grade as all members have left school.
Algebra has been added to the list of studies required for
this grade. It seems well that an attempt should be made
in this ninth year to lessen the gap existing in the nature of
the work done in the last, year of the elementary schools
and the first year of the High school and thus make easier
100
for the new High School pupil, the transition from one
school to the other. The introduction of one or two High
school studies into the curriculum of the ninth year ought
to accomplish this in a measure.
Lengthening of School Year.
The present school year of 34 weeks is not long enough
to cover thoroughly the course of study laid out for the ele-
mentary schools. The teachers have to labor under too
great a pressure to bring their classes to that point in their
course where they can enter the next higher grade. It
seems to.me we should make more intensive as well as ex-
tensive, the knowledge that we are to give our pupils. Is it
not worth while to add two more weeks to the present year?
The gain resulting would far outweigh the added cost of
tuition. The High schools are required by law to be in
session forty weeks; many.cities and towns keep all their
schools in operation the same length of time; other towns
give their youth thirty-eight weeks of schooling. Are thir-
ty-six weeks too long a time for Barnstable?
School Attendance.
It is painful to record that there is hardly any improve-
ment in school attendance over 1896. The average school
attendance for the whole state in 1896 was 92 per cent.
Our percentage for that year was 92.9; this year it is 93.2,
an increase of .three-tenths of one per cent. The total
amount of time lost was 6,446 days or an average of nearly
two weeks for each pupil in town. This means that the
town lost the instruction of one of its schools, average num-
ber of pupils being twenty-eight, for one school year and
of.another school for more than one-half a,year. If a money
value were placed upon this loss, estimating the cost of a
pupil's tuition at fifty cents per week, the sum paid the town
for non-resident pupils, it would be $671.00, or more than
enough to pay the salary of the highest paid grammar school
teacher in town.
101
This poor showing in attendance is due to several causes,
all of which it seems to me are avoidable. Such a lament-
able condition of affairs need not exist if parents will see
that the school is made the child's first interest, that all other
things are secondary in importance. This statement is made
with the understanding that the child is in good health.
Justice is not extended to the punctual members of a
school if their time is taken from them to make up the les-
sons of those who have been absent on a visit to the city or
a shopping excursion about town or on a period of restor-
ation of energy lost by attendance upon a midnight party.
It sometimes happens that fault is found if promotion
does not come to these pleasure seekers. It will be said:
"My child has not been treated fairly; he is just as smart
as my neighbor's and yet ,you put my neighbor's child
ahead and keep mine back." The neighbor's child was al-
lowed to go ahead because he had been faithful in attend-
ance and studious in habit. The plaintiff's child was kept
back because he was neither punctual or studious.
Intermittent attendance is demoralizing to the pupils and
causes teachers more anxiety than all other hindrances to
good teaching combined.
Parents can render the cause of education an inestimable
service by co-operating with the teachers for a better attend-
ance in 1898 and the years that are to follow, and will merit
and receive the sincere appreciation of those who are toiling
to implant knowledge and character in the minds of our
youth.
SUMMARY.
To strengthen the efficiency of our school system, three
things are very much needed at this time, viz., a better
school attendance, a suitable high school building and a
longer school year.
The cost of the first will be a little extra effort on the part
of parents to have their children in their places at school
s—s
102
when the clock strikes nine. The last two can be secured
if the town will show itself friendly to educational progress
in the future as in the past.

SPECIAI, SUPERVISOR'S REPORT.
To F. W. Kingman, Superintendent of Schools:
In submitting to you this first report of Drawing and Mu-
sic for the schools of Barnstable, I feel that such report will,
of necessity, seem to you somewhat incomplete.
DRAWING.
In introducing the study of drawing into the schools, it
has been necessary to begin at the very beginning in all
grades.
On entering upon my duties in September as a teacher of
Drawing, I visited the several schools in the town with a
view to finding out the needs of the pupils before making any
definite plans for work.. In the majority of the schools noth-
ing had been done. This was due to two reasons : the first
reason was that Drawing was not required as a study, and
the second, that the teachers felt themselves incompetent to
teach it. In a few schools, however, where the teachers
were particularly interested in the subject, good work had
already been done. '
After a careful consideration of the existing conditions, I
made my plans for work, aiming to give to each school the
course of study best adapted to its needs. In doing this, I
have followed as closely as deemed advisable the course of
drawing adopted in the city schools, although in many cases,
it has seemed better to depart somewhat from this course.
It is not to be expected that in the few months in which
the work has been carried on that one could carry out to its
completeness a course of drawing, as well graded as is to be
104
found in those cities and towns where drawing has been
taught for years. The conditions are entirely different. In
many of our schools one teacher is required to teach the pu-
pils of from three to eight grades. It is easy to see that
such a teacher cannot take the time to instruct each grade
separately. In such cases I have arranged the work in two
sections, a Primary and a Grammar section. In the High
school the work has been of the same character as that given
in the upper grades of the Grammar school. I have divided
the school into two divisions, each division .consisting of
about thirty pupils, giving to both divisions the same work.
During the fall term we studied plant form and decorative
design. In the Grammar grades and in the High school we
used ink and brush as a medium, thus enabling broad and
free handling. So much enthusiasm was manifested in this
work that in many instances the pupils bought brushes for
themselves. .This work has been so much enjoyed and so
great a progress has been made, that it is my sincere hope
that we may., in the spring, begin work with brush and col-
or.
This is, in brief, the work that has been done in Drawing
the fcw months of the fall term, and in this work there
seems to me to' be the promise of steady progress in the
coming year.
That the pupils take pleasure in the work can be easily
seen by anyone visiting the schools during one of the periods
set apart for drawing; that good progress has been made
may be seen by comparing the sketches made at the begin-
ning of the term with those made later.
It is my purpose in the work to develop in the pupils, not
alone the ability to use pencil and brush in the expression of
form and color, but to awaken in them a love for the beauti-
ful as found in Nature and expressed in Art.
With this end in view, I shall follow as far as seems ad-
visable, the course recommended by Henry T. Bailey. This
105
course includes a study of structure, enrichment and the
appearance of things. These three topics are sub-divided
as follows
Structure.
A. Elements of form type solids.geometric figures.
B. Elements of beauty.
C. Structural design.
Enrichment.
A. Color.
B. Elements of ornament.
C. Decorative design Dec. treatment.
Conventional treatment.
Appearance.
A. Perspective elements.
B. Pictorial drawing Single objects.
Groups.
C. Pictures.
MUSIC.
In introducing the study of Music into the schools, I found
it necessary, just as in Drawing, to do considerable prelimi-
nary work before the actual teaching of the pupils began, and
in truth, much that has been said in the report on Drawing
could with equal fitness be applied to the work in Music.
In some schools which bad been provided with books and
charts, some work had already been done, but in many in-
stances the pupils knew nothing whatever in Music, so it
seemed advisable in every grade, including the High school,
to begin the work at the same point; that is with the teach-
ing of the very rudiments of Music.
Although the pupils of all grades thus began work of the
same character yet, as can be readily understood, the pupils
in the upper grades have progressed much more rapidly than
those in the Primary grades. . This difference in the charac-
ter of the work of the several grades has become already
106
quite noticeable and will, by the end of the school year, be
decidedly marked.
In the Primary grades the greater part of the time has
been given to exercises in reading, but rote songs have also
been given that the interest in the work might not be les-
sened in any way. In some of the Grammar grades two
part work has been introduced and in the High school work
in three parts has been begun.
My plan of work has been to teach, first the major scale
as a whole, then the parts, that the pupils may be able to
sing any ordinary interval with accuracy. In connection
with the study of tune, time has been considered. More
than all this, I have placed particular emphasis upon the ne-
cessity of roundness, purity and sweetness of tone.
The progress made in these first few months has been to
me most encouraging. Both teachers and pupils have taken
hold of the work with interest and enthusiasm, and in this
work, as in the Drawing, I have found the teachers always
ready and willing to aid me in every possible way.
I feel that I can, with justice, claim that a good beginning
has been made in all of the schools in the study of Music.
Yours respectfully,
MABEI.LE M. HEMENWAY.

The High School is established to provide an advanced
course of study for those pupils who have completed the
studies prescribed for the grammar schools and possess the
requisite qualifications. Each pupil is required, unless by
special permission, to pursue, at least, three branches of
study. There are three courses of study :—An English
Course, a Latin-English Course, and a Classical Course.
At the commencement of the course, parents or guardians
may elect which course shall be pursued by the pupil.

Physiology and Hygiene. Give instruction according to re-
quirements of Commonwealth. The law is as fol-
lows :
"Physiology and Hygiene, which, in both divisions of the sub-
ject, shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants, and narcotics on the human system, shall be
taught as a regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools sup-
ported wholly or in part by public money."
133
Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly de-
fined by the following extract from the laws of our
Commonwealth:
"It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their
best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, com-
mitted to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and
justice, and a sacred regard to truth; love of their country, hu-
manity, and universal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and fru-
gality; chastity, moderation, and temperance; and those other
virtues which are the ornament of human society; and the basis
upon which a republican constitution is founded; and it shall be
the duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead their pupils, as
their ages and capacities will admit, into a clear understanding of
the tendency of the above mentioned virtues, to preserve and per-
fect a republican constitution, and secure the blessings of liberty
as well as to promote their future happiness, and also to point out
to them the evil tendency of the opposite vices."
Physical Exercises. The requirements are as follows : -As
nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-:half
of each school session, five minutes shall be de-
voted to physical exercises, to be taken at the same
time in all the classes in the building; and during
this time the school-room shall be thoroughly ven-
tilated."
Test-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is
indicated in part by assigning pages in the text-
books; teachers, however, will omit, or pass rapid-
ly over,parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell
upon the more important subjects, using the text-
books as aids only.

The foregoing statement shows that nearly fifty per cent.
of our teachers terminated their services.during the year.
In many cases, very short notices of withdrawal were given
by the teachers and(tihe duty of securing desirable succes-
sors was rendered more difficult thereby. It was my good
fortune, however, to find for every vacancy a candidate who
had preparation for teaching. No person has been appoint-
ed who has been without training of a good kind. Normal
114
schools, the Quincy Training School and the school of ex- '
perience have been the sources of our supply.
A very large percentage of the teachers who remain with
us, year after year, have their homes in the town and for
this reason do not care to seek positions elsewhere. The
movable ones are glad to have the experience of a longer or
shorter period which our schools provide for them. Iu
some instances, after a too brief_experience for the good of
the schools and their own good as well, I think, they are
ready to move on to the more lucrative positions obtainable
in the cities and larger towns.
The ambition for promotion is laudable and one to be en-
couraged in all honorable ways, but I fear that the means
by which promotions are obtained are sometimes overlooked
or held to be of small account by those who have reached
the summit of success. Many a teacher now drawing a
large salary in a populous city tauglit his first school in a
rural town, of which Barnstable is a good example. If
these rural communities had withheld the opportunity to
teach to all novices who applied, it would have meant to
them all the difference between success and failure in their
chosen work. In return for the opportunities that small
towns give to prospective city teachers, I believe it is only
fair to render a longer service than some seem inclined to
give. One year's service is little enough for the good of the
school and will work no Hardship on any teacher however
much in need of money or professional prestige.
Those teachers who are continually on the move for more
money are a bane to the schools and need to be taught that
the country school is something more than a stepping stone
to aid them in their selfishness.
It is with pleasure that I record my appreciation of the
long and faithful services of Miss Bertha Lovell, Miss Mary
E. Buckley, Miss Mabel L. Baker, and Mr. Chas. L.Gifford.
Miss Lovell was a member of our teaching corps for 17
years and Miss Buckley for 11 years. Miss Baker began
a
service in 1888 and with the exception of a brief period in
115
the Brockton High School, taught in this town to the date
of her resignation. Mr. .Gifford was a teacher in our
schools for h years.
Of the above named, Miss Buckley is the only one now
engaged in teaching. Her present position is that of a
sixth grade teacher in the Brookline schools.
HYANNIS TRAINING SCHOOL.
The Hyannis Training School opened in September with
all its rooms in use. Miss Maria D. McLeod, a teacher of
long experience in Andover, Mass., was placed in charge of
the first room on the lower floor, now open for the first
time.
The successors of Miss Mary E. Buckley, Miss Bertha K.
Cushman and Miss Charlotte I. Smith are Miss Eva.Hickox,
Miss Ildail M. Chaney and Miss Maria Fuller.
The Training School teachers are now nominated by the
Normal School principal and elected by the school com-
mittee.
The idea is entertained by some people that the State has
full control of the Training School, that the town is practi-
cally a nonentity. By reading the agreement between the
town and the State, which may be found in the Town Re-
port for 1897, it will be seen that there is no warrant for
such an impression. No teacher can be appointed whom the
committee do not approve. The course of study can not
be changed without the approval of the committee. Mat-
ters of promotion, discipline,. attendance and truancy are
under the care of the committee and under their care alone.
The rights of the town are amply safeguarded..
The agreement for the conduct of the Training School,
which was accepted by the town at its last annual meeting,
still awaits the signatures of the school committee who
were authorized to consummate the agreement for the
town.
'*Awagreemeut satisfactory in all respects has been drawn since the above was writ.
ten and signed by the State Board of Education and the Sebool Committee.
116
This delay in signing is due to the conviction of the com-
mittee, that the cost to the town• of maintaining the school
would be excessive if the fifth.paragraph of Section I were
accepted in its entirety. That paragraph, reduced to its
simplest terms, means that the town is to pay for the edu-
cation of each pupil in the Training School, the average
cost of schooling, per pupil, throughout the town, excluding
the High School and the small ungraded schools, in which
the cost per pupil is much larger than the average cost.
More than one-third of all elementary school pupils in
the town attend the Training School. It is obvious that
such a large membership reduces the cost per pupil when
the wages paid the teachers remains the same as the wages
paid the teachers in other schools of the town where the
membership is very much smaller.
For the committee to agree to pay for each pupil in the
Training School, the average cost per pupil in the town,
would be equivalent to saying that questions of finance did
not enter into their management of the schools.
It is believed that a satisfactory solution of the matter
will be reached and that the town will not be asked to pay
for teachers' salaries any more than it has been paying,
which is the uniform rate throughout the town.
Beginning. with the fall term the Training School has
been utilized by the graduating class of the Normal School
as a school of ubservation. This is a distinctive feature of
the school and one whicli is a potent factor in the training
of the prospective teacher.
Departmental instruction, under the direction of Princi-
pal Baldwin of the Normal School, has been ,introduced in
a limited way. By departmental instruction I mean the
teaching by one teacher of all the grades in a single branch
of knowledge or branches of knowledge closely related. To
illustrate the limited application of this plan I may say that
one teacher instructs several rooms in Arithmetic, another
teacher, Drawing and wrltiDg, another, Singing and still
another, English. This practice, undoubtedly, has its ad-
117
vantages and it 'is hoped that they will greatly outnumber
any possible disadvantages.
The system is in the experimental stage and no conclu-
sive opinions are ventured with regard to it.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Once more I call your attention to the need of enlarged
facilities at the High School. I would repeat most emphat-
ically all that I have said in my previous reports on this
subject. In this age of good school buildings with ade-
quate equipment the town should not be content with a
high school building that answered its purposes a geuera-
tion ago. Times have changed. In all branches of human
endeavor there have been advancement and progress.
Education has been in the van of this forward movement.
It should be our wish too, to share in this general trend of
events that are conducive.to the improvement of the social
whole.
A recent speaker on a public occasion said in the course
of his address: "Public buildings afford the most concrete
expression of the life and character of a community and of
its degree of advancement." I am sure that no one would
wish the degree of educational advancement which we have
attained to be measured by the High School building and
its equipment. We must, however, be frank with ourselves
and admit that, as a town, we have waited much too long in
furnishing good high school appurtenances and environ-
ments.
Let us not cling longer "to the skirts of an age that has
departed."
The graduating exercises of the High School, held June
23, were of a most interesting nature and attracted the us-
ual large and sympathetic audience. The class to graduate,
numbering seventeen, was the largest in the history of the
school.
Several members of the class have entered higher institu-
tions of learning.
s—s
118
At the close of the fall term the school registers fifty-six,
a smaller number than has been enrolled for several years.
I think this falling off is due to the establishment of the
ninth grade. It should not be understood that the ninth
grade is a permanent eliminating agency. I simply mean
to say that, during its establishment, the entering classes
have not been so large as formerly. I believe though, that
many, who might do so, are not taking advantage of their
privilege to obtain a high school education.
Parents who can afford to give their children a high
school education are doing an injustice if they deprive them
of it. The demands of modern civilization are so various
that the possession of liberal culture is well-nigh indispen-
sable to the highest well-being. A person's usefulness in
any community is enhanced in proportion as he has know-
ledge, character and ability.
The High School fosters and feeds a desire for these at-
tainments.
My remarks upon the High School would be incomplete
without mention of the valuable aid that is being rendered
by the Barnstable High School Alumni Association to its
alma mater. This aid has been shown in a tangible way by
the presentation to the school of much-needed books of ref-
erence. This active and helpful interest in the old school
is shown anew at every meeting of the association and leads
me to indulge the hope that the good work so well begun
will bear fruit in the upbuilding of the school through the
creation of a stronger and healthier high school sentiment
in the town.
CHANGES IN COTUIT SCROOLS.
The eighth grade of the High-Grammar department has
been placed in the Grammar School and another year of
high school work has been introduced. The high school
year has been lengthened 4 weeks making 38 weeks or two
weeks less than the time the Barnstable High School is in
session. I recommend that the year be extended to 40
e
119
weeks as I can see. no valid reason for a discrimination.
It has been intimated to me that there is a desire on the
part of some that still another year be added to the school.
The addition of a fourth year would be ostensibly the in-
troduction of a full high school course. When, however,
one reflects that but one teacher is to give the instruction
the difficulty of the situation is apparent. I am aware that
there are high schools in this state with a single teacher.
The preparation which they can give for Normal Schools
and Colleges must necessarily be lacking in many respects,
if they attempt to be something more than preparatory
schools.
The modern public high school ought to minister to the
needs of the masses as against any favored class. A high
school with only one teacher is too apt to grow away from
the needs of the people who support it, if it has a special
kind of work to perform. The pupils who are to be taught
along special lines will receive the larger part of attention
because the teacher will feel that his success is to-be meas-
ured by the ability of his pupils to pass the examinations
for admission to higher institutions.
I firmly believe that three years in the Cotuit High School
department are all that one teacher can well care for. The
fourth year, if desired, can be very much more profitably
spent in the Barnstable High School where there are three
teachers.
The transferring of the eighth grade from the High
School room to the Grammar School makes feasible the in-
troduction of the ninth grade. Beginning with next Sep-
tember the establishment of the ninth year's work will be
general throughout the town and the completion of the
ninth grade studies will be required for admission to the
High Schools in Hyannis and Cotuit.
It is confidently expected that there will be an improve-
ment in the quality of scholarship in our High Schools as
a result of this lengthening of the Grammar School course.
If it does not prove to be so our experience will be differ-
.g
120
ent from that of other towns that have added the ninth
grade.
PROMOTION OF PUPILS.
The written examination at the close of the school year
has ceased to be the criterion by which a pupil's fitness for
promotion is determined. A more rational method has
been discovered in the pupil's proficiency in his daily class
exercises. The written examination is by no means dis-
pensed with; it occurs frequently as one means of ascertain-
ing the scholar's knowledge and as a register of his ability
in the use of English.
Obviouslv there can be no one crucial test for deciding
what a pupil's place in school shall be. His all round work
for the year, of which the teacher and the superintendent
are the judges, presents the fairest means of solving the
question of his promotion. This is the method that is now
generally employed.
.The question of promotions is one of the most. difficult that a Superintendent has to deal with. It is so closely re-
lated to classification that any improvement in the method-
of grading produces at once a corresponding improvement
in plans for promotion.
At present our classes are too .far apart. The dull and
the bright, and those ranging between these two classes,
are unevenly yoked together. To move them all forward
at the same time is clearly far from a satisfactory way. A
shorter interval for the bright ones and a longer interval
for the slower ones seems to be necessary. How to sepa-
rate them and place each where he can do the most for him-
self and still not to increase our teaching force is the prob-
lem which confronts me. To it I am giving. much anxious
thought and careful study.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
A marked improvement in attendance for thirty weeks of
the year seemed to make certain the highest per cent. of at-
tendance in the history of the schools. The violent storms
6
121
and inclement weather following the Thanksgiving recess
caused so many absences that the general average of atten-
dance for the year was seriously affected. The percentage
is practically the same as that of the previous year.
It may be well here to call the attention of parents and
guardians to the fact that in the future the amount of money
to be spent in the Training School for books, apparatus,
and supplies, is to be determined by the school attendance
of the whole town.
By the terms of the proposed agreement for the conduct
of the-Training School, the town agrees to pay for text-
books, apparatus, and supplies, sums of money which shall
be, in each year, that proportional part of the total expeudi-
ture, which the average yearly number of pupils of the
Training School, is of the average yearly number of pupils
attending all the schools of the town. It is readily seen that
here is an incentive to good attendance that has not existed
before. A high per cent. of attendance will cause no dimi-
nution in the quantity of books, apparatus, etc., supplied to
the Training School, as the state will furnish what is need-
ed after the town has fulfilled its obligations, while it will
provide more books and supplies to other schools of the
town because the Training School's portion of the town's
money for the purposes above mentioned is reduced in pro-
portion as the average attendance for the town increases.
TRUANCY.
The truant officer has found more employment than is
consistent with goocl home discipline. If parents will per-
sistently allow their children to absent themselves from
school, or if they are so indifferent as not to know whether
their children are in school or not, the laws governing tru-
ancy must be complied with by the committee. Good pa-
rental control and a desire to uphold school laws and to
give to the children the full amount of schooling.would ren-
der unnecessary the coercive measures that have been em-
122
ployed. In the past two years no less than seventy-five
cases have been reported to the truant officer. The same
pupils have been constant offenders. I appeal to whomso-
ever these remarks on truancy apply, to comply with the
laws relating to school attendance, and so take from the
school officers, a duty most unpleasant to perform and one
which is a tag upon those who do not offend.
Truancy cost the town in 1897 and 1898, $42.50.
CONCLUSION.
In my report of last year I made such recommendations
as would tend, if adopted, to the development of our school
system in accordance with its needs. As these recommend-
ations have not been adopted in fall, I now reiterate one of
the most important, that of lengthening the school year to
thirty-six weeks. There are at least four towns in Barnsta-
ble County whose school year is nine months, and their rate
of taxation for school purposes is more than forty per cent.
higher than our rate. If there were no additional expense
involved, I think all would admit that a longer time in school
would be beneficial. As a matter of fact, the increase in the
tax levy necessary for carrying this recommendation into ef-
fect is very slight, less then 10 cents on $1000. I leave the
question with the parents, whether tlfey can afford this out-
lay for their children.
Respectfully submitted,
F. W. KINGMAN,
Supt. of-Schools.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC AND
DRAWING.
To F. W. Dingman, Superintendent of Schools:
AZy report of last year, in reality of a term, was one al-
most entirely of aims, hopes; and in a small way, of
begin-nings. Since that report, many of these hopes have been
realized and the progress that has been made from week to
week has been to me a source of great pleasure.
DRAWING.
When I began my visits to the schools this fall, I noticed
the readiness with which the pupils took up the work as
compared to the fall previous. The pupils have had much
to learn, as the subject was entirely new to them and they
were totally unaccustomed to using the tools.
In the upper-grades, pupils have been obliged to take
much primary work in addition to the regular work of the
course. This year there are very few in the classes who do
not grasp the ideas readily, and nearly all appear anxious to
do their best even though the results be crude.
The study.in silhouette with brush and ink in the Gram-
mar and High schools has done much to open the eyes of
the pupils to beauty of form. It has enabled them, also, to
study things in masses. Line drawing has its place in our
course, but work with the brush simplifies the drawing of
objects that otherwise might prove too difficult.
124
In all the schools in town, with one exception, the spring
work, consisting of sketches from nature, was done in color
with pencils. It is my earnest desire that, next spring,
-water colors may be introduced, thus giving pupils a chance
to express themselves more freely and with purer color than
is possible with crayons. However, I do not believe that it
is the wisest plan to use water colors in the lowest grades.
Little children cannot handle the brush to advantage. Here
is the right place for colored crayons.
At the close of the schools in June, each teacher was
asked to place on exhibition the work in drawing for the
year. ,Selections were carefully made by me. I tried,as far
as possible, to have each child represented. We did not ex-
hibit merely to display the work, but to encourage the pu-
pils, and to give parents and friends a chance to see what
was being done along this line. Visitors expressed them-
selves as pleased with the idea and also with the talent which
some pupils had shown. We expect to exhibit in the same
way next June.
So well was the work progressing that, in the winter term,
we invited all the pupils above the fifth grade in the Gram-
mar schools to compete in designing a cover for the Report
of the School Committee. More than one hundred designs
were submitted. The successful competitor was Warren M.
Hodges of the ninth grade, Osterville.
This report seems a fitting place to speak of the appear-
ance which our school rooms present now and the appearance
which they ought to present. The duties of the teacher of
Drawing do not end when the pupils have learned simply to
draw with a certain amount of correctness. She is expected
to carry her work farther. She must strive to awaken in the
pupils an appreciation of all that is good and beautiful, yet
her time with each school is very limited. The school room
should, therefore, be made as attractive as possible.
The regular teachers are doing all that they can to aid in
125
this work, but they cannot do everything. Although I real-
ize that the town cannot expend much money for this pur-
pose, yet, it seems to me that there might be some change
made in the arrangement of the maps. These.are a necessi-
ty, I know, but are in no way ornamental, when most of the
wall space is covered by them. Why, then, could there not
be some way provided by which these maps could be ar-
ranged together in some part of the room and each map
placed before the class when needed?
Space would thus be left for a few good photographs of
paintings, of celebrated men, or of historic places. There
might also be added one or two casts, a few plants and vases
which are fine in form and color. The State is carrying out
these ideas in the Hyannis Training School.
MUSIC.
In Music, the progress from day to day is not so readily
seen as in Drawing. One must wait longer for results. It
will take years of study before we can hope to do grade
work which will be perfectly satisfactory. The lack of pre-
vious training is felt by the pupils, and makes teaching es-
pecially hard in the higher grades.
The mixed condition of the schools makes it difficult to ar-
range a Course of Study. In those schools which have a
first grade, it has become necessary to make a class of be-
ginners, teaching them the first principles of music, i. e., the
tones of the Major Scale, as a whole, and its parts, the staff
and the reading of simple exercises in the key of C. So
limited is the time for, practice in Music that I have asked
_ the teachers to drill these little ones about five minutes every
day, the remaining time to be devoted to the other grades.
The teachers feel that they could get better results if it were
possible to have each grade by itself, but under present con-
ditions, this cannot be done.
We expect all the pupils in the lower grades to sing alone
its
frequently. The idea is to train them to have confidence in
themselves. In the higher grades, it has not seemed wise to
ask pupils to do this, as the habit must be formed earlier in
the course. Tests, either written or oral, have been given
from time to time.
In all the Grammar grades, exercises in one part have
been given for drill in reading in the different keys. In con-
nection with this, nearly all of these are taking exercises and
songs in two parts. As far as possible, I am endeavoring to
do away with much rote singing, although, in the Primary
grades, it is a necessity.
We are striving to get from our pupils, good clear tones.
We make no effort to secure mere power. It is purity that
we try for. I1, is quality not quantity, for, as the voices of
the children gain strength by practice, volume of tone will
come of itself.
Very respectfully yours,
MABELLE M. HEMENWAY.
REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
Mr. F. W. Dingman, Superintendent of Schools.
DEAR SIR: In the report which follows I have tried, in as
few words as possible, to show how advancement has been
made at the High School during the last year, and have
made mention of one or two things which hinder us in our
work.
Last year, at this time, we had practically no school li-
brary. An appeal was made to the pupils and their friends,
by whose aid a beginning was made. Mr. CHARLEs F.
SLEEPER, of Hyannis, generously presented to the school
some volumes from his own library. Later, a surn of money
was placed at my disposal by the Alumni Association, and
was expended by me for books. In September, the School
Board added the Century Dictionary to the list. The libra-
ry thus formed has been in constant use and its value has
been shown repeatedly-in the daily work.
There has been a decided advance in the work in Music
and Drawing. Especially among the boys has the improve-
ment in sin;ing been most marked. The tones have more
volume than ever before and are far better in quality. A
brief period for practice is taken each day in addition to the
regular weekly lesson.
The progress made in Drawing is very clearly seen by
comparing the results obtained at present with those of the
previous year. This progress is due, no doubt, in a great .
measure, to the interest taken by the pupils in this line of
work.
128
At the beginning of the fall term, the last period of each
Friday was set apart for declamations and the reading of
compositions. The exercises have been, at times, varied by
musical selections, both vocal and instrumental.
Since the change of time, last fall, it has been difficult to
give to those pupils who come by train,just the degree of at-
tention which we wish to give. Entering the school, as they
do, at the end of the first period and being obliged to leave
almost immediately after the close of school, they have little
time in which to obtain that extra assistance from the teach-
er which is, at times, so necessary. As many of these pu-
pils have errands in.the village for themselves or friends,
which demand their attention, the small amount of time at
their disposal has led to ail increase in the number of re-
quests for dismissal and in the number of excuses for tardi-
ness. It is to be regretted that circumstances will not allow
us to begin school at nine o'clock.
A word may be said here in regard to the temperature of
the school building. Even on moderately cold days, it re-
quires considerable time and skill on the part of the janitor
to obtain the desired temperature in the recitation rooms.
In very cold weather, this cannot be obtained in the two
rooms upon the lower floor. Consequently no attempt can
be made to heat the hallways, and it has happened several
times during this winter that pupils have passed from my
room in which the thermometer registered 68 degrees F. to
a hallway, the temperature of which was ten degrees below
the freezing point. Further comment, I think, is unneces-
sary.
Of the other work of the school, I speak but briefly, for
two reasons: first, because my duties confine me so closely
to my own room that I have no opportunity to observe per-
sonally the work done in the other rooms; second, because
you as Superintendent of Schools can judge far more impar-
tially than I. The, teachers aim, I know, to make each
a
129
year's work better than that of other years, and to adapt
that work more and more closely to the existing conditions.
This year has been certainly no exception to the rule. In
September,graduates of the school were admitted by certifi-
cate to Tufts College and to the University of Maine.
It is but justice to the assistant teachers to say that they
have labored most sincerely and conscientiously for the
welfare of the school.
Respectfully yours,
L. M. BOODY.

Physiology and Hygiene. Give instruction according to re-

lows:

ject, shall include special instruction as to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants, and narcotics.on the human system, shall be
taught as a regular branch of study to all pupils in all schools sup-
ported wholly or in part by public money."
153
Moral Instruction. The duty of every teacher is clearly de- .
fined by the following extract from the laws of our
Commonwealth:
"It shall be the duty of all instructors of youth to exert their
best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth, com-
mitted to their care and instruction, the principles of piety and
justice, and a sacred regard to.truth; love of their country, hu-
manity, and universal benevolence; sobriety, industry, and fru-
gality; chastity, moderation, and temperance; and those other
-Ortues which are the ornament of human society; and the basis
upon which a republican constitution is founded; and it shall be
the duty of such instructors to endeavor to lead their pupils, as
their ages and capacities will admit, into a clear understanding of
the tendency of the above mentioned virtues, to preserve and per-
fect a republican constitution, and secure the blessings of liberty
as well as to promote their future happiness, and also to point out
to them the evil tendency of the opposite vices..."
Physical Exercises. The requirements areas follows : I'As
nearly as practicable at the expiration of one-half
of each school session, five minutes shall be de-
voted to physical exercises, to be taken at the same
time in all the classes in the building; and during
this time,the school-room shall be thoroughly ven-
tilated:"
Text-Books. For convenience, the work for each class is
indicated in part by assigning pages in the text-
books; teachers, however,will omit, or pass rapid-
ly over,parts comparatively unimportant, and dwell
upon the more important subjects, using the text-
books as aids only.

r
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
HYANNIS, Dec. 31, 1899.
To the School Committee of Barnstable.
GENTLEMEN:—I respectfully address to you and, through
you, to the people of the town of Barnstable my fourth an-
nual report of the public schools.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
With the exception of the Training School no new lines of
work have been attempted. The energies of the teachers
have been directed to the perfection of lines long established
and of later lines introduced in my second and third years
of office. The instruction in drawing and music has known
no diminution of zeal or interest. The superior directive
ability of Mrs. Mabelle M. Boody, supervisor in these sub-
jects, has wrought results of which any town might well be
proud.
At the close of the fall term the resignation of Mrs.Boody
was tendered to the Committee and was accepted with deep
regret. It is my belief that Mrs. Boody has performed her
duties so well that a competent teacher will have no diffi-
culty in maintaining a high standard in this department.
The town is to be congratulated upon retaining for an-
other year such a large number of her experienced teach-
ers. Twenty-three out of twenty-eight returned to their
schools in the fall. Mrs. O. A. Baler resigned at the
109
Plains and was succeeded by Miss Annis M. Sturges, who
formerly taught the same school. Miss Sturges is a gradu-
ate of the Barnstable High School and of Middlebury College.
Miss Isadore M. Jones was transferred from the Osterville
Primary School to the Fourth Grade in the Hyannis Training
School to take the place of Miss Maria D. McLeod. Miss
Mary L. Crocker, a graduate of our High School and of the
Bridgewater Normal School, and a former teacher in the
town, is the successor of Miss Jones at Osterville. Miss
Ildah M. Chaney, teacher of the Second and Third Grades
in the Training School, withdrew from service in June and
Miss Maria Fuller was transferred from, the First Grade
room to the position vacated by Miss Chaney. The position
of First Grade teacher was filled by the appointment of Miss
Ida E. Finley, a graduate of the Framingham Normal
School and a very successful teacher in the Primary de-
partment in Pawtucket, R. I. Some Pindergarten ideas
have been introduced by Miss. Finley in the Training
School the past term. This is the only new line of work
of the year and is the exception which was noted in my
opening remarks.
The progress of the schools in Barnstable village has been
seriously interrupted. The impairment of Mr. Crocker's
health necessitated his withdrawal from the Grammar School
in May. A change of teachers was necessary however, for
only six weeks. Mr. Crocker resumed his duties in the fall
with renewed vigor and a determination to recover, as far as
possible, the ground that had been lost: The experience of
the Primary School has been somewhat similar to that of the
Grammar. Miss Rbodehouse was obliged to resign the
third week in October as events happened that made her re-
turn impossible. A permanent teacher was then secured to
take the place of the substitute who had been-on duty near-
ly four weeks awaiting the return of Miss Rbodehouse. The
present teacher is Miss Gertrude Pratt, a young lady of nor-
110
anal training and some experience in teachin,•. At East
Barnstable the resignation of Miss Rothwell early in Octo-
ber was not wholly unexpected. A more lucrative position
was offered her at her home in Quincy and the School Com-
mittee deemed it ri,•ht to release her as she had taught in the
town very acceptably for a ,year and a half and had given the
required notice of her intention to resign. Miss Rothwell's
successor is Miss Jeannette B. Thibadeau. Miss Thibadeau
was a classmate•of Miss Pratt at the Bridgewater Normal
School.
It is my custom to state specifically the training that each
new teacher has received to fit her for her chosen vocation.
I believe that parents should know by what right a teacher
has the control and guidance of their children for so many
hours in the formative period of their lives. A statement of
the qualifications of the teachers may be dry and uninterest-
ing reading in itself, but when connected with the fact that
the teacher, in great measure, fashions the character of our
young people, it seems important that it should appear in a
report of this kind.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
The town now has two High Schools, each with a course
of studies that requires four years for its completion. The
extension of the course at Cotuit was earnestly desired by
the people of that place and of villages in close proximity.
It is unfortunate that one central 'school., easy of access,is
an impossibility. Better facilities and conveniences for
Hi,h School. instruction than now obtain in either buildin-
would undoubtedly.be possible in a building centrally 10-
cated.
Attention has been so often directed in my annual reports
to the needs of the larger school at Hyannis that I feel the
voters do not desire an expansion of this question.
The Cotuit High registers 24 and the Barnstable High 68,
111
a total of 92 pupils. This is an excellent High School en-
rollment for a town of little more than 4000 inhabitants,
and is proof that the people believe in the High School.
There was no entering class in the Cotuit School in the
fall, as the most advanced class in the Grammar School had
not taken the Ninth Grade studies. The entering class at
Hyannis numbered 30 pupils. The number entitled to en-
ter was 40. It is a most gratifying fact, and is believed to
be without precedent in the history of the school, that such
a large number and percentage of those wbo had the privi-
leo•e of admission have availed themselves of the privilege.
The entering class comprises nearly one-half the school.
Miss Smith and Miss Cleveland tendered their resigna-
tions as assistant teachers in the Barnstable High last June.
Miss Miriain H. Parker and Miss Eloise H. Crocker, 'gradu-
ates of the school and of Boston University, were appointed
to these vacancies. The work of each has proven, very sat-
isfactory. Mr. L. M. Boody continues as Principal; a posi-
tion which he has held for the past four years with credit to
himself and advantage to the school. The standard of work
at the present time is believed to be as good as our-facilities
allow.
CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.
For the sake of a better education and the reduction of
cost of tuition, I'request the parents of scholars attending
the schools at Newtown and the Plains to earnestly consider
the question of consolidating their schools with the schools
at Nest Barnstable.
An experience of three and one-half years has led me to
believe that small, ungraded schools of 10 or 12 pupils are
seriously disqualified for ministering to modern demands.
The classes are necessarily very small, seldom number-
ing more than three or four pupils and often otzly one.
Last year, of the 14 classes in the two schools, fully one-
112
half had only one pupil each. The enthusiasm and interest
in school work that are created by large classes are never
found in the same decree in small classes. The love of
learning is greatly stimulated by the desire to excel, and
pupils who Vare naturally indolent or indifferent, when
placed in a class of good size can be awakened to a degree
of mental activity that will produce very creditable results.
Bright and ambitious pupils are also benefitted by being as-
sociated with a goodly number in the same class, it being
universally true that mental growth is accelerated by the
contact of mind with mind. No greater boon can befall the
solitary pupil than to be placed with companions who will
snake him work to maintain a good standing in his grade.
The Blest Barnstable school in December had an enroll-'
ment of 46 pupils, the Plains and Newtown schools together,
an-enrollment of 25 pupils, a total of 71. The two rooms at
West Barnstable can easily accommodate this number, and
if membership should increase more desks could be added.
The union of these schools seems feasible. The objections
that can be made to such a step are the same as have been
raised in all places where consolidation has been proposed,
viz. : There will be a depreciation of property values in the
'neighborhood of the closed schools, small children are ab-
sent from home for too long a time, pupils are too young to
ride long distances, health of pupils will be endangered.
Against the first of these objections I place the statement
made by a man living in a consolidated district: Once when
a man wished to sell his farm he advertised,"A school near."
Now he advertises, "Children conveyed to-good schools."
Farms sell more readily now. To the nest objection I may
say that the children will not be taken from their homes any
earlier than some now leave them. Some pupils start from
their homes now at 8 o'clock and do not return much before
5 o'clock. A good team with a hood driver can undoubted-
ly make as 61ood or better time than this, since the most
113
remote pupil can not be more than four miles from merest
Barnstable. The third objection has little force when we
.reflect that it is easier to ride than it is to walk. Those
scholars wh'o now have to walk a mile and a half or two
miles will certainly find it no hardship to ride even twice
that distance. The last objection would be serious if true.
As a matter of fact, however, when one wishes to be particu-
larly careful of his child's health on a stormy day, he does
not allow the child to walk to school, but places him in a
covered carriage in charge of a trustworthy driver, to be
conveyed in a shorter time than would be required for walk-
ing, and with very much less exposure. In transportation
the exposure comes largely on the driver, and very little on
the children. A good conveyance and a careful driver is
the best answer that can be made to all objections to trans-
porting children to school..
I have considered somewhat in detail the educational and
sanitary sides of this proposition, as these considerations are
of the first importance. Next in importance is the economic
side. A material saving can be made by the proposed
union: The average cost, per pupil, based on teachers'
wages, cost of repairs, fuel. and janitors' services, of educat-
ing all the children below the High Schools, for the last
three years, was $19.79 per year. The average cost of edu-
cating the children in the Newtown and Plains Schools was
$27.01, or nearly 50 per cent. more than the average
for the whole town. The cost of teachers for the two
schools is, or soon will ,be, $80 per month. Janitors and
fuel increase the expense. Two conveyances, if that num-
ber should be necessary, can be obtained for considerably
less than $80 per month. I hope the parents, in the real in-
terest of the children, can see the wisdom of the plan herein
suggested and that they will give their assent to the carrying
out of the same on the opening of.the next school year.
The union of the schools will not be forced. The School
114
Committee and Superintendent realize that the present in-
effective system is better than bitter contention and angry
feeling. '
In what has been written here no criticism or reflection is
made upon the teacher of either school. MT entire argu-
ment is for improving present conditions and not the present
teachers.
COURSE OF STUDY.
In my first report I suggested that a change in the course
of studies would be desirable when the Training School came
under the joint jurisdiction of the town and state. The rec-
ommendation is here renewedthat the School Committee adopt
for the entire town the Course of Studies for Elementary
Schools prepared under the direction of the Massachusetts
Board of Education. This course forms the basis of the
work done at the Training School, and it seems a natural and
logical method of procedure to use the same course in all the
schools. Local conditions may require some modifications
of the State Course, but in the main it is much better adapt-
ed to our schools than the course now in use. Our teachers
will receive more benefit from their visits to the Training
School if they can follow the same course in their own
schools as they see pursued in the Training School.
RECENT SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
The laws relating to attendance, vaccination and truancy
have been materially changed in recent years. As many .
people are not aware of these changes, I deem it wise to
give in full the sections of the new law bearing upon these
subjects.
CHAPTER 496, Acts 1898. An Act, relative to school attendance
and truancy.
Sec. 11. No child who,has not been duly vaccinated shall be
il5
admitted to a public school except upon presentation of a certifi-
cate signed by a regular practicing physician that such child is an
unfit subject for vaccination. No child who is a member of. a
household in which a person is sick with small pox, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, or measles, or of a 'household exposed to contagion
from a household as aforesaid, shall attend any public s>hool dur-
ing such sickness or until the teacher of the school has been fur-
nished with a certificate from_the board of health of the town or
city, or from the attending physician of such sick person, stating
in a case of small pox, diphtheria or scarlet fever, that a period of
at least two weeks, and in a case of measles.a period of at least
three days, has elapsed since the recovery, removal or death of
such person, and that danger of the conveying of such disease has
passed.
Sec, 12. Every child between seven and fourteen years of age
shall attend some public day school in the town or city in which he
.resides during the entire,time the public clay schools are in session,
subject to such exceptions as to children, places of attendance and
schools as are provided for in sections three, seven, ten and eleven
of this-Act: provided, that the superintendent of schools or, where
there is no superintendent of schools, the school committee, or
teachers acting under authority of said superintendent of schools
or school committee, may excuse cases of necessary absence; and
provided,further, that the attendance of a child upon a public day
school shall not be required if such child has attended for a like
period of time a private day school approved by the school com-
mittee of such town or city in accordance with section two of chap-
ter four hundred and ninety-eight of the acts of the year eighteen
hundred and ninety-four, or if such child has been otherwise in-
structed for a like period of time in the branches of learning
required by to be taught in the public schools, or has already
acquired the branches of learning required by law to be taught .
in the public schools, or if his physical or mental condition is such
as to render such attendance inexpedient or impracticable. Every
• person having under his control a child as described in this sec-
tion shall cause such child to attend school as required by this
section.
See. 26. Every habitual school offender, that is, every child
116
under fourteen years of age who persistently violates the reasonable
regulations of the school which he attends, or otherwise persistent-
ly misbehaves therein, so as to render himself a fit subject for ex-
clusion therefrom, upon complaint by a truant officer, and convic-
tion thereof, may be committed, if a boy, at the discretion of ,the
court, to a county truant school for a period not exceeding two
years, or to the Lyman school for boys, and, if a girl, to the state
industrial school for girls, unless such child is placed on probation
as provided in section twenty-eight of this act.
Sec. 31. Any person having under his control a° child between
seven and fourteen years of age who fails for five clay sessions or
ten half-clay sessions within any period of six months while under
such control, to cause such child to attend school as required by
section twelve of this act, the physical or.mental condition of such
child not being such as to render his attendance at school harmful
or impracticable, upon complaint by a truant officer, and convic-
tion thereof, shall forfeit and pay a fine of not more than twenty
dollars. Any person who induces or attempts to induce any child
to absent himself unlawfully 'from school, or employs or harbors
while school is in session any child absent unlawfully from school,
shall forfeit and pay a fine of not more than fifty dollars.
Sec. 34. (Concluding Sentence) A truant officer of any town
or city may apprehend and take to school without warrant any tru-
ant or absentee found wandering about in the streets or public
places thereof.
Section 11 does not allow parents to vaccinate or not as
they please. The day.a child enters school for the first time
he must present a certificate from a regular practicing physi-
cian, stating that he has been vaccinated or that he is an un-
fit subject for vaccination.
Ii7 the latter case vaccination is deferred until the child
becomes a fit subject. It should not be thought by anyone
that the operation can be permanently avoided. The School '
Committee have no option, and, whether one believes in
vaccination or not, the rule must be enforced. In this con-
nection I recommend that parents do .not wait until school
117
has begun before complying with the law. Delay can not
avail anything whether believer or unbeliever in vaccination.
Section 12 places the compulsory age between 7 and 14
years,.thus lengthening the compulsory period of attendance
one year. This section requires attendance for the entire
time schools are in session. The Superintendent is empow-
ered to excuse cases of necessary absence.
Section 31 imposes a fine upon those who fail for five
clays, in any period of six months, to send children of the
compulsory age to school. It would appear from this sec-
tion that a parent who fails for four and one-half days in any
period of six months to send his child to school is not subject
to a fine. Section 12, which requires attendance for the en-
tire time, is qualified by Section 31 to the extent just noted,
viz., that a parent can keep his child out of school four and
one-half days in six months and not violate the law.
Teachers should use great care in preserving excuses for
absence, that they may know when parents are within their
legal rights in detaining their children. The four and one-
half days of legal absence does not include absence for sick-
ness or other necessary cause.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I recommend that now desks and chairs be provided for
the Santuit School and the Centreville Primary School.
The combination desk and chair used in these schools is'a
positive hindrance to the health and physical comfort ,of
small children. In many instances they can not touch the
floor with their feet, and the only way of giving support to
the feet is to place blocks of wood under the desks. Such
an awkward and clumsy arrangement forbids a pleasing ap-
pearance of the school room, which should contain nothing
to mar the sense of beauty. The adjustable chairs and ad-
justable desks would be a very great improvement and
B-9
118
would tend to prevent the round shoulders and contracted
chests that the desks and chairs now in use help to produce.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I ask those who read this report to urge their
friends and neighbors to read it too. A better understand-
ing of what is being done in the schools, and a larger meas-
ure of co-operation between the home and school would re-
sult if the annual reports were more widely, carefully and
thoughtfully read.
Respectfully subnutted,
F. W. PI\GMA\,
b'upt. of Schools.
REPORT OF' THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC AND
DRAWING.
To F. W. Kingman, Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith submit to you my third and last report as Su-
pervisor of Music and Drawing:
DRAWING.
During the last year the work in Drawing has been sim-
ply a continuation of that which had been' planned and
partially carried out in the two previous years.
In the Primary and Grammar grades, much depends
upon the regular teachers, and as they have become gradu-
ally familiar with my plans and methods of working, ad-
vancement has become more and more apparent. In.general,
I have noticed that those teachers who have been connected
with the Drawing ever since its introduction into the schools,
have been able, this year, to follow much more intelligently
the lines of work marked out for them. They have; there-
fore, had it in their power to direct the efforts of.the
pupils to better advantage than hitherto.
The High Schools, up to the time of my last report, had
been doing work -which properly belonged to the lower
grades. At the beginning of the winter term, light and
shade drawing, with charcoal as a medium, was introduced
into the Cotuit High School and into the Junior and Senior
classes of the Barnstable High School. In the spring term,
work with the colored crayons was resumed.
In September,the pupils were very much pleased with the
introduction of water colors. Of the degree of success
120
reached by them in this line of work, those who attended
the exhibitions in December had an opportunity to judge for
themselves.
The design upon the cover of last year's Town Report
was that of Miss Bessie Till of Osterville, the competition
being between the two,High Schools of the town.
Acting upon suggestions given in last ,year's report, the
pupils of the Plains School, aided by their friends, pur-
chased two pictures which now hang upon the walls of the
school. Also at the Intermediate School in Osterville, a
picture has been purchased with money raised in the sane
manner. It is to be hoped that other schools will follow
their example.
It may not be inappropriate to add the following quotation
from an article which appeared lately in one of the leading
publications of the country:
"The question of art instruction is attracting more and
more attention among progressive teachers and parents, and
when it comes to be gencrally appreciated that the training
of the hand and eye is something destined to be of immense
value to the coming generation, no matter what work may
be taken up, the"study will have found a fixed place in our
educational system."
k[tisl:C.
As regards the work in Music, not much can be stated be-
yond what has already been given in former reports. . The
plans of work adopted by me at the beginning- of the course
have been closely adhered to. My aim has been to give to
each pupil some general knowledge of this study; such a
knowledge as will enable him to read music with readiness,
and to sing any ordinary piece of music at sight.
Of necessity, this cannot be accomplished in one year, or
two years, with the limited amount of time which can be
121
taken for practice. Yet, term by term, it has been a source
of pleasure to me to perceive the increased facility with
which the pupils mastered the lessons given to them.
With the added ease of learning, there has sprung up an
interest in the work, and the music period,which was at first
dreaded by many, is now looked forward to witli a feeling
of pleasurable anticipation. This change in the attitude of
the pupils renders the task of the teachers much easier, and '
both aids and encourages the Supervisor in the carrying out
of her plans.
The increased progress has made it necessary to introduce
into the schools more advanced Music Readers. Second
Readers have been placed in the, Cotuit and Barnstable
Grammar Schools; the First Readers, formerly used in these
schools, have-'been transferred to the grades below. In the
High School at Hyannis, Book IV. of the Cecilian Series has
been adopted. At the Cotuit High School, the work in'
three parts has been continued, and marked improvement
has been made.
In closing•, I wish most heartily to thank you, the Super-
intendent, and the teachers who have so earnestly co-oper-
ated with me to make my work a success, and those others,
whose kind words of appreciation have brought to me both
encouragement and help.
Respectfully yours,
MABELLE M. BOODY.

The High School is established to provide an advanced
course of study for those pupils who have completed the
studies prescribed for the grammar schools and possess the
requisite qualifications. Each pupil is required, unless by
special permission, to pursue, at least, three branches of
study. There are three courses of study:—An English
Course, a Latin-English Course, and a Classical Course.
At the commencement of the course, parents or guardians
may elect which course shall be pursued by the pupil.

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