in the school district at the beginning
of the year; the results that we have
attempted to accomplish; the reasons
for our belief that those results are

by which we have accomplished what
has been DONE" says Supt. H. v

annual report to the Board of Educa
tion. II therefore earnestly invite fol
this report the careful consideration
of the people of the district, and es
pecially of the patrons Of the schools
SO that they may be fully Informed
as to the spirit, methods, materials
and results of the schools" the super
intendent continues.
Last August when your Superinten
dent was elected to his position, there
were many important duties to be per
formed at once. There were 81 teach
ers to be cted,-among whom were
a principal of the High school anG
nine members of the High schoo
faculty; a principal of the Spicel
school; a critic teacher for the Norma
school, and a sewing teacher.
''The territory which had recently
been annexed to the city and which
contained, approximately, 1000 schoo
children, had to be organized for schoo
purposes. Teachers must be assigned
books, supplies, and apparatus mus
be procured and placed; territory mus
be divided into sub-districts; children
assigned to the proper schools ant
placed in the proper grades.
This work was especially difficult
to perform because of the fact thai
there were no records available Civ
ing any information that could assist
us.
when schools opened there were
66 teachers who were new to the AK,

is laid, shall receive proper conditions
for development!
"The second line of growth that
should be well marked out and fol-
lowed in scheme Of school education
is the ability to picture, mentally, or
image the things observed, just as
they exist, In all their relations.
CLOSELY related to the second and
hardly to be separated from it, in
method and effect, is the ability to
retain impressions, or, in other words,
ability to record observations, ana
their resulting mental images, for fu
ture reference, This record, for pur-
poses of mental development, must be
a record stamped upon the memory.
"The fourth line along which in.
creased power must be sought is
that Of generalization or the power to
classify. The power to say that A
is like B and unlike G.
Very much like the fourth, and diff
fering from it only in degrees is the
fifth, or the power to reason. 1t is
not enough that one observe closely;
that he image accurately and clearly
what he sees; that he faithfully and
clearly record these mental impress
sions. Had these been the only men.
tai powers in use, the race would be
no higher in the scale of civilization
today than was Darwin's ape; for the
ape could do all these things more
perfectly, perhaps, than we. Reason
is the faculty Of drawing correct in
ferences from observed facts. Facts
in themselves are valueless unless
they lead to conclusions, thereby COLI
stituting a basis for action.
THE sixth power that should be
persistently and intelligently culti-
waited is that Of expression. By pow,
er of expression, we mean power to
make clear to another mind the
thoughts that are in ones own mind
Expression Is of several kinds. First,
and most important, is speech. Sec
ond only to speech Is writing. Third,
drawing. Fourth, modelling OF max,
ing. Each of these forms of expires.
sion reacts upon the other forms; and
the attempt to state ones thoughts
upon any subject, clearly, cOncisely
and fully is a valuable means OF
clarifying ones thoughts upon that
subject.
Experience has fully demonstrated
that, for most people, unusual power
of expression is developed only by
constant, careful, and persistent prac-
tice under intelligent criticism. This
practice may be and ought to be, ia
Scnool Work certainly, secured largely
in the process of cultivating the other
five powers mentioned.
"The seventh line along which in.
creased power may be sought is the
line Of habit and moral quality. Di-
rect effort along this line is no doubt
more difficult to plan and provide for
than along any of the other six lines,
since in this the best results come
from training which is incidental.
Indicental here, is not accidental. This
training, because Of its very nature,
and because Of the nature of the
