tication and instruction are to be given fair consideration. In addition to the types of classes enumerated above, there Is undoubtedly need for still another type of special class, that for semi-blind pupils. There Is a considerable number of semi blind children In New Britain who are un- able to receive much, If any, beneit from membership in regular school classes, The provision of additional room and money for the accommo. dation and instruction of special classes presents an important prob lem for the consideration of the School Committee during the present school year.
 Instruction
 Tn the field of instruction. the following have been the most im- portant developments during the year;
 "The course of study for junior high schools has been revised, for the purpose of unifying the work of both junior high schools,
 "The instruction for both junior high schools in all subjects of q stricty prevocational character has been transferred to the Prevoca- tional building. and placed under the direction of the shop director. These prevocational or exploratory subjects which are now taught In the prevocational school are ma chine shop work, electricity, print ing, mechanical drawing, household repairs, woodworking and sheet metal work for boys only; sewing, dressmaking, cooking, housekeep- ing, and arts and crafts for girls only; and bookkeeping and type writing for both boys and girls.
 Experiences in the subjects emu
 merated above afford the most practical sort of basis for guid- ance, both vocational and educa- tional.
 "The course of studies for the
 elementary grades is always un- dergoing revision. During the past year especial attention has been given to the revision of history and geography courses.
 , "The laboratory plan of assign :, ment and study has been carried on during the entire year in the
 Senior high school, and for the last
 half year in the junior high scools It is planned to continue it's use . during te coming year. A years r use of the plan has given better
