Norwich Schools Becoming Congested Primary Room at West Thames Street Building Ha. Been
 Overcrowded the Past Year-West Chelsea Schools
 Show Largest Increase Membership hp-Annual Report of Superintendent Edward J. Graham.

The second section contains the sta- tisttcs with reference to teachers, en- rollment, graduates, buildings and finance. The third part contains a list of the teachers. janitors and text books.
 Accommodations. The school buildings of the town are all ill good repair. The property equipment and furnishings are as sat isfactory as can be expected in old buildings.
 The West Chelsea schools are be- at the West Thames street school has been overcrowded during the past year. The High street and Mt. Pleas ant street schools should have more room provided soon possible Most of the rooms in each building have two grades with two teachers working in the same room, at times. using small class room, poorly light , ed. ventilated and entirely unsuited for the work. Teachers cannot be ex- pected to get the best of results un- der such conditions.
 Attendance.
 The enrolment and attendance of the various schools is tabulated in part II.
 On September soth the public school enrolment was 3.009 with a member ship during the year of 3,0o5.26 and an average attendance of 2,S4651 The largest increase in membership has beens in the West Chelsea schools.
 Delayed Opening.
 Our city was remarkably fortunate in escaping an epidemic of infantile paralysis during the summer and fall when the disease was prevalent to an alarming extent in mary parts of the state. The schools were opened three weeks later than the appointed time, in order to take all precautions pos sible against the spread of the. dread ed disease. Intelligent precaution by our city and town officers doubtless kept our children free from this dis ease.
 Repairs.
 No extensive repairs were made in the school buildings during the year The chief items were as follows:
 Two new steel ceilings in the West Thames street school, two in the Falls and one in Broad street. The entire interior of the Falls school was paint ed and refnished. A new granolithic walk was placed along the west side of the West Thames street school proDertv -:ss = -l =.

 The gardens were supervised by Gordon A. Harvie, under whose direc- ton. the work last year was carried out so successfully The work had a decided educational value as 1t was planned so that the pupils were taught what to do and how to do it. Captains of the differ ent grades were elected in each school. Each captain kept in touch with the progress of work and reported the same to the supervisor at stated times. This was of great assistance gardens than one man could properly supervise.
 The city voted an appropriation of $500 for home and school gardens. The town school committee voted $100 for school gSrden supervision
 In these times the economic value for school children of this form of summer employment and training has tions are becoming increasingly hard Tor nearly all classes of people.

 there is no electricity. In the build ings where the lantern Is in use room is equipped in such a way that the room can be darkened and ready flor use in a few minutes.
 There are 609 slides and 500 stereo graphs on geogra phical material. The work. thus far has been entirely of geographical nature. It is hoped In include historical as well as the geo. graphical work.
 Visual instruction is new and we have just made beginning in this visual impression left on the minds of the children Is much stronger and more lasting than that obtained by the study of the printed page. The subjects presented are carefully stud jed and used a basis for the recita- tlon. The purils are taught to ob- serve and tell what they see and know about the picture. It is an excellent means Of creating and increasing in terest, The work also develops the power of the pupil to express his thoughts in good language.
 Kindersartens.
 Kindergarten activities and the function of this work are based on certain principles and aims, some of which l quote as follows:
 The kindergarten is social and educational link Joining the home and the school. Its fundamental principles are the cultivation of proper relation ships among family, community and school, the development os sense of interdependence. and the cultivation of spirit of kindness and cooperation. The kindergarten aims to develop each child physically, through play. games and work; mentally, through cultiva- ton of attention and concentration by exercise of the senses; morally, through training in habits of obedi- ence. promptness. industry. order, self control, respect, reverence. It further
