THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT PRESENTED TO THE SCHOOL BOARD—CHANGES MADE IN RECENT YEARS WHICH ARE BELIEVED To HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL. | The annual report of Mr. W. B. Powell, the | superintendent of the public schools, was pre- | sented at the meeting of the school board held today. In this report interesting statistics are given showing the growth and prosperity of the | | public school system. Some 40,000 pupils are | reported to have been in the schools | during the past year, an increase of 1,400 as compared with the previous year. The | need of additional school buildings is emppha- | sized and the board recommends the erection [of eight new buildings. ‘The working of the free text book system is disensted by the su- perintendent and figures are given showing an increased attendance because books and sup- ples are furniahed The superintendent has the following to ray relative to the growth of the public schools of | the eity | The action taken by the United States Senate at the instance of Harvard College | making inquiry respecting the conduct and Jen cy of our public schools renders it per- m perhaps even advisable, to present in | this report some of the facts of the mana | ment and growth of our school system during the past few years. Aceation for all and “free public schools” that are nearly synonymous. “If you e what you want ask for it,” however, | expresses but a part of the controlling genius | of the public school idea. The idea of “‘educa- | tion for all”* contemplates benefits to those who nt to their own welfare as well as ho desire and seck opportunities for ement. It proceeds on the assumption the beneficiaries in some, perhaps in many instances, do not know their best interests and therefore will not unaided elect a course of acts that will best subserve their welfare. | It is not enough that all who desire may have | opportunity for education.

Actuated by considerations set forth in the foregoing remarks the efforts of the school au- thorities for a number of years have been directed with consistent continuity to provid- ing unity for the many. It has been our | policy to carry opportunity to the child and make such opportunity tempting and seductive. The board, accordingly, has asked of Congress appropriations for an increase in the accommo- dations for thelower grade schools, to be placed | where those for whom they were intended would be accommodated in reality. | What has been done by Congress during the ch allusion is made is of interest. ductive experiences with it. ina count of it is not out of place here. At ginuing of the school year in the fall of ere Was an attendance in our schools of pupils below the high school. To ac- ommodate this number of pupils there were rms. (The high schools were at that time amply provided for in the Central High School and by renting the Miner building for the colored pupils.) This made it neces- sary for 11,544 pupils to be provided for in rented rooms or to be sent to half-time schools with others who would be compelied to share with them the necommodations provided. It is next to impossible to rent rooms that are fit for school purposes either as respects con- venience or healthfulness. DISADVANTAGE OF HALP-DAY SCHOOLS, The disadvantage of half-day schools bas been set forth in more than one annual report issued from this office. It need not, therefore, be more than mentioned in this place. The sufferers because of inadequate facilities in | every instance were the children of the lower grades. It is a matter of record, a fact known by all who know xchools and school work, that | the mass of children never attend high grade schools however numerous or conveniently lo- | cated they may be. The masses get all the edu- |eation they ever receive in the lower grade schools. “It was thought wise and right that every reasonable effort should be made to provide good and ample accommodations for "all who should be given instruction in the lower grades to the end not Only that a good school might be provided for every child asking for it, but that | a good schoo! should be offered to every child. The exact condition of affairs was made public and Congress was asked to make appropriations for room for primary and inter- mediate grades pupils. The result has been most gratitying. During the school yeer ending June 30, 1592, there were 37,413 pupils enrolled in our schools in grades w the High School For the accom- modation of these there were 656 school rooms. This shows an increase of 19.5 number of pupils taught during ander consideration, while the is 79 per centum. During there were built for the accom- pupils in grades below the high nine-room house, thirty-two eight- ree four-room houses, two two- one one-room house and ten ad- ditional rooms to other buildingy. ong that could not, or would - not at tend day sessions. num! Persons benefited by the night schools annually, is nearly three CHANGE IN LOWER GRADE WORK. Much money has been used and much effort expended in broadening the work of the lower grade schools and in changing and correlating the activities of the child in efforts for its ac- complishments. 1. By the introduction of manual training (shop work), cooking (laboratory work) and | sewing, each of which has been given to all who were fitted to take it. 2. By directing the drawing done in the schoola from flat work to object work, of seeing and representing and to inventing ‘and con- structing, by use of materials adapted to the various purposes. 3. By the introduction of elementary science study that has made all other work more intel- ligible by lnying a proper foundation for it, and has caused all other work to be more in- tell! tly done. fer a discussion of the system pursued in the upper gradas the superintendent sass: “Na doubt both the freedom from examinations and the variety and co-ordination of mental and physical action involved in the work of our schools have been causes in some measure of an unusual growth of the upper grades.” The methods followed, it ix claimed, tend to the conservation if not the improvement of the health of the learner. OTHER M¥ANS EMPLOYED The health of our pupils,” sa; has been further cared for by a course of physical training under the direction of special teachers. That our efforts to conserve the health of pupils have caused an increased enrollment and a larger attendance on the part of those enrolled there is no reason to doubt. This increased attendance would show itself logically only in the upper grades of the school, where it has been shown there is an increase ofattendance. Efforts were next made to in- duce Congress to provide free books and sup- plies, in which effort there was success. OUR NIGHT SCHOOLS. It was inthe same spirit, namely, that tho many who desire it may have an opportunity and that another multitude not desiring it may be induced by its seductive influence to study in grades of work higher than the grammar school that branch high schools were estab- lished, if I have not mistaken the intention of those who were instrumental in their establishment. ‘The wisdom of creating these braucit schools for East und West Wash- ington respectively has been ma‘ic apparent by their history since their establishment. What is said of the eastern and western branches of the high school is also true of the business high séhool, which was established at the same time. An experience of ten years has given opportunity for testing the usefulness of these schools and their right to exist. They have been very prosperous. The people of the re- spective rections of the city where they are located have shown great interest in them. ‘Their growth, however, has not been at the expense of the Central High School, as that institution has lost none yf its prosperity. Much of their prosperi has been due to the fact that they have been wisely managed and well taught. The board exercised unusual care in the selection of prin- cipalsand teachers who have for a guide in their work the experience of the Central High School as well as the constant advice, and, when needed, the oversight and di- rection of ‘the —accomplisl principal of the school, Dr. Lane. Much of the success of these schools is due to the pride that the ple have taken in having schools of a ado near home sas part of « home system. The city is so large that the Central High School is far away (away from home) to many who desire to send their children to a high school, To such persona it is a“high school” simply and not “our school,” whereas each of the branch schools because of its proximity is to all who send to it “our school,” and for this reason is the recip- ient of a fostering care and is the object of an individual pride which ouly conscious owner- ship gives. ‘These: schools were established in the inter- est of more education or of higher education for the many. Each was so placed as to become a part of the home school of the people whose children it was sought to benefit, so that cach person could know the school and become interested in it as of the system of schools in his neighbor- ood and thus consider it his school. Some of the success that characterized the management and teaching of these schools was no doubt due to the spirit of rivalry between them and between themselves and the Central Hi School, which was in every way health- ful and desirable. " Much” of the tendance, particularly that which may be considered the increase, was due to the fact that the schools were near home and easy of access. Many who want more education than the grades below the High School offer and ‘igh to whom the state is interested in giving such education cannot afford two car fares daily in addition to all the other expenses incident to attending such a school. Much of the attendance was due to the fact that some, perhaps many, went to school because it was convenient to go. This is the class of young people for whom the state should have the greatest solicitude. It is they who drift. Their drifting most frequently carries them into untrustworthy currents or currents whose flow carries the floater into danger. From a moral as well as from a financial consideration nothing will pay better than to catch the per- sons whose tendency is to drift and to make an effort to direct them into channels that are safe and that offer employment to mind and hands, GROWTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS. As was expected by any one acquainted with the growth of public schools in America, the high schools grow in proportion to their op- portunity for growth, This ix the logical re- sult of public school existence unless the high school is especially antagonized. But such is the school sentiment of this community and such the conditions of social and business life here that our high schools increased in num- bers more rapidly during the seven years to which I allude than the grades below them. There is possibly one slight influencing special administrative cause of this growth, to which I have referred under the head of examinations. In 1885 the High School pupils numbered (white) 745. In 1592 they nutabered 1, This shows un increase in attendance of the high schools of 139.6 per cent during the seven years, while the grades below increased but 17.2 per cent and entire school attendance but 21.7 per centum.

EXAMINATIONS. In the year 1886 the board of trustees abol- | ished examinations as tests for promotion from | grade to grade below the High School and as | tests for trance to the High School. At that | time I interpreted the action of the board to mean that the teachers and pupils understand and are trained to do better work than a mere mination would indicate, This change of method for making promo- tions may have been, undoubtedly hus been in some measure, a cause of growth in the higher sof schools, It is amerted by those who in the upper including those of the High School. that pupils have come to their re- grades as well prepared to do the work who came@ in former years who were d by examination lists. The tendency | of the non-examination sebeme of conducting the schools is in the direction,of longer school for those who attend. of the the testimony of © both plans motion that the scholarship secured by e plan ts ax good as that secured by the lows that the non-examination plan nterest of more education for the community.

These schools have the expenditare for school large have afforded and education to a of study already wffered the pupils, All of these changes have cost much money and have taken much time for their accom- plxhment. ‘These were, however, necessary steps in carrying the high schools to a higher plane of work in harmony with the thought and progress of the age in which we live. All these could bave been made much more rapidly than they have been had there been un- limited means at the disposal of those who directed the work. ‘The grade of the high school was not lowered by the extension of the opportunities it offers. The reverse of this is true without doubt. An earnest effort has been made alike by thove in authority in the lower grades of schoo!s and thove who manage the high school work to make the work of the schools continuous from the first grade through the High School. ‘The ef- fort has been successful in a gratifying de- gree. THE GRADE OF WORK. The hiatus between the eighth grade and the High School, which, in former years, prevented many from entering the latter, has been filled, so that it is now no more difficult to pass from the grammar school to the High School than is to pass from one — grad to another, either in the ‘High School or in the schools below the High School. To accomplish this desirable result some concessions were made on both sides. The losses to scholarehip and culture. if any occurred. were fully compensated by the gains. That the grade of work done in the High School has not deteriorated, or that it has been made better, is a difficult thing to prove exept by the testimony of those who have continuous teaching in the schools for iuany years, ‘The following is, however, of in- terest. In 1885 745 pupils were enrolled in the High School (white), of whom 271, or 36.4 per cen- tum, studied Latin and other branches that are considered preparatory work for college. In 1892 1,785 pupils were enrolled in the same school, of whom 777, or 43.5 per From the it will be seen that the GRAND VISITATION. effort expended tho past half a dozen —— years in the schgols of Ws ‘has been | Harmony Lodge.

The schools have been given new lines of ele- mentary and correlated work rather than higher epartments of studies. This bas been done to make them broader. The tendency of the former policy it to keep many pupils in school for a longer time, whereas the tendency of the latter policy is to rotain only the few fortunate pupils for a longer time. board has provided for the proper teach- ing of these new lines of work. This is shown by the action of the board when adjusting sala- ries and when estimating for suluries in. pro- Viding first for the lower grade schools und for Siving for the rapport of theghigh schools only what remained of the appropriati A foundation for a comprehensive system of schools bas been laid on broad lines, all of which are now in successful operation.” Not only is there a broad foundation in the primary schools, but theee is a healthful homologous growth through the intermediate and grammar school grades extending into and including the three years of High Sakoal week: It is now time to foster the fourth year work which it has been decided to add to the High School course if it can be done without endan- gering the work of the lower grades. There has always been a contingent of pupils who desired and some who even sought more instruction at our hands, These would have been provided for had there been money enough to teach them in higher grades and at the same, time carry the lower grade of in- struction ‘to those whom the schools should, reach first. That fifty pupils returned to the school for further instruction after graduating from the three years’ course last year shows how great is the contingent now and how im- portant it is to extend the course. A FOURTH YEAR, The High School is now in excellent condi- tion to take on a fourth year of study. When this fourth year shall have been fully developed the school will send forth a larger number of pupils annually into higher schools, some of whom by the possibilitics of their preparation will go into polytechnic schools and others into scientific schools, still leaving a larger number togo to, the purely classical college than we could have sent had our efforts been directed to making our High School a college fitting school to the neglect of the lower grade schools, This fourth year of work cannot be made what it ought to be, what the citizens of Wash- ington expect of it and what they have a right to deiand of it without more stability in the teaching force of the High School. ‘This can- not be secured except by paying better for the teaching. ‘Most of our teachers for the High School come tous unskilled in their work. Like the un- skilled gripmon on our new cable lines they cause many breaks and many blunders and much delay. When by practice they become expert and therefore valuable they leave for more profitable places. It is not necessary that ull should be teach- ers of experience, but it is necessary that the heads of departments should be competent by education and by their experience to direct their respective lines of work. A number of larger salaries must be allowed that men and women may be secured for these leading places who will be permanent. With a dozen good salaries added to the cost of our high schools they can be made a pride to the city and a blessing to our youth. HIGH SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS. The accommodations for the high schools have kept pace with their growth. With the exception of the business school, which must be provided for, but which at this writing is well accommodated at the Miner building, our high school buildings will be ample for another cade even if the city continues its prosent rapid rate of growth. Congress has shown as great liberality ingproviding homes for these echools av it has shwn in the provision for the lower grade schools, pe A SemI-Centennial Anniversary.
