Report of Superintendent
To the Members of the Board of Education:
GENTLEMEN :—I hereby submit my third annual report
of the Public Schools of the City of Bath, and the same being the twenty-fifth in the series of reports.
It is the aim of this report to place before the citizens, not
only the things accomplished, but also to present for your
consideration some of the present needs. It is also planned
to give more statistical tables than usual to show the financial standing of the school department.
TEACHERS
We were fortunate in being able to retain nearly all our
teachers for this year. The same spirit of harmony and
helpfulness towards each other, and of loyalty toward the
school officials which existed last year has prevailed this
year. When so many have done satisfactory work, it would
be unfair to speak of one or two, and not mention all.
We have adhered strictly to the rule of eligibility that requires the first appointment of teachers to permanent positions in the elementary schools of Bath, that they shall be a
graduate of a State Normal School. This has given us an
opportunity to place teachers of such training and experience as to add strength to our corps of teachers.
23
By reference to the table on the list of teachers, it will be
seen that all 60 are high school graduates, of which number
20 are normal school graduates; nine college graduates. 11
of our teachers were trained at Gorham Normal, six at
Farmington Normal, two at Castine Normal, and one at
Boston Normal School.
The following changes in the corps of teachers occurred
during the year:
Resignations—High School: Charles L. Smith, Principal
Morse High School; Verna M. Corey, teacher of German;
Lillian L. Lowell, teacher of Latin; Fannie C. Kendall,
Supervisor of Penmanship. Bertha C. Jones, teacher of
first and second grades at Upper Grammar School; L. Mildred Taylor, teacher of first and second grades, Upper
Grammar School; Margaret W. Metcalfe, teacher of first
and second grades, Dummer Street Primary School;
Susan L. Reed, teacher of fifth grade, North Grammar
School; Gertrude Gilman, Principal South St. Primary
School fourth grade; Lizzie M. Allen, Principal of Washington St. Primary School, third and fourth grades; Gordon G. Holbrook, Principal of Bailey Evening School; Mrs.
Abbie S. Starkey, teacher of sewing, Bailey Evening School.
Transfers—Nellie J. Marr from Center Grammar, 6th
Grade to Assistant in Ninth Grade; Hazel H. Wing from
first grade, Center Primary to principal of Washington St.
Primary, third and fourth grades; Agnes E. Tarbox from

Street Primary, fourth grade; James P. King from sub-master, Morse High School to principal of Morse High School.

7-5
PLAN
In treating the 7-5 plan of reorganization for the city, I
propose to be brief and to confine myself mainly to the
phases of it in regard to which, questions may arise. After
29
studying the conditions of Bath it seems best to recommend
the adoption of the 7-5 plan. Our present Ninth Grade is
too large to be well handled. It is also too large for the
present teaching force. What we need is a six room wing
built onto the west side of the Morse High School building.
Four rooms on the ground floor to be used for Junior High
School work, and two large study rooms on the second floor
for use for the High School pupils. This union of Senior
High and Junior High would place nearly 600 pupils in this
building and leave room for the elementary pupils of the
city.
The plan provides for a Senior High School of three
years, a Junior High of two years, to be preceded by seven
elementary grades. Then provision should be made for offering some kindergarten training in connection with first
grade work. There should be an eighth grade in the rural
schools for the benefit of pupils whose training will be confined to the elementary work or who would be unable to
come to the city for the first year of the Junior High. Pupils
having completed the work of this grade will be entitled to
admission to the second year of the Junior High which will
correspond to the Freshman year of the prsent organization.
The Senior High School as a unit will include the three
upper classes of Morse High. The organization of these
classes will remain practically unchanged. New electives,
however, to be offered particularly in the departments of
Mechanical Arts and Domestic Arts.
As previously stated grade seven should be the highest
in the city elementary schools. Instead of promoting the
ninth grade pupils to the Freshman class in high school our
present eighth and ninth grades would be united to constitute the Junior High. Junior High Schools have been established with marked success in many of our leading cities.
With few exceptions the organization consists of six elementary grades, a Junior High of three years and a Senior High
30
CITY OF BATH
of three years. Considering the school accommodations in
Bath, the number, capacity and location of the buildings,
and the large number of tuition pupils enrolled each year in
high school, the 7-5 plan which provides for a Junior High
of two years seems especially well adapted to meet local
conditions.
In recommending 7-5 plan one of the chief aims would
be to overcome the break between the grammar and high
schools. We feel that this would be accomplished in the
main by introducing practical subjects earlier in the courses.
In making the readjustment special consideration should be
given also to pupils who will be obliged to drop out of
school particularly when having reached the compulsory
school age limit, however, there will be no logical point at
which a pupil can leave school: In other words the courses
should be arranged in view of encouraging the pupil to remain in school as long as possible.
A teacher could be assigned to each room for a part of
the day and the class organization to be retained in as far
as possible. The work of several teachers could be divided
between the two schools.
As a part of the plan of reorganization the total requirements should be put on a twelve year basis instead of thirteen according to the present plan of nine elementary grades
and four of high school. Nine grade systems are confined
to New England and more especially to Maine, but they are
being displaced by eight grade systems or by organizations
with provision for junior high schools. When in full operation this feature of the plan will tend to decrease the cost
of maintenance of the schools.
Several factors have contributed toward the elimination
of one grade. There has been a material gain in the
primary grades in the past few years in penmanship and
especially in reading, thereby effecting a saving in time
Less time is also devoted to the so termed non essentials in
arithmetic and to the more technical work in grammar. The
31
teaching in general is more efficient and the grading more
uniform.
The requirements of grade seven of the 7-5 plan are
practically one year in advance of those of the course now
in use. Thus the seventh grade of new system will be
formed by promoting the present seventh. Grade six will
include all sixth grade pupils and approximately 20 per
cent, of the ablest pupils of grade five. This per cent, will
be increased by approximately 20 as each of the successive
grades are formed, whereby the elimination of one grade
would be effected.

PARETNS' VISITATION DAY
A Parents' Visitation Day was observed the first week in
June with very gratifying results. Several hundred visitors
were present. Much interest was shown in the exhibits
from the departments of Manual Training, Domestic Science, Penmanship, Music, Drawing, and all the school
branches. No changes were made in the daily program,
and the work on exhibition was selected wholly from the
daily exercises.
The importance of bringing the school and the home and
community into close relationship cannot be overestimated.
Both teachers and pupils receive much encouragement from
the visits of the citizens.
SCHOOL FURNITURE
After investigation of the merits of movable school furniture, I am inclined to the belief that whenever we have
need of purchasing more school furniture, we should do
well to purchase the movable type of furniture, such as the
Columbia or Moulthrop line. With this movable furniture,
different arrangements of seating are possible as occasion
may seem to require, and then, if for any reason, the room
is wanted, clear of furniture, it is a very easy matter to move
all the seatings out of the way. Especially in the rural
schools where the school rooms are frequently used as neighborhood gathering places would such seating arrangements
work out well. The first trial order of 42 desks has been
placed by the Board for one of the rooms in Morse High
35
WORK PERMITS
The last legislature passesd a new law regarding the issuance of work permits to children between 14 and 16 years
of age. A duplicate of each permit must be filed with the
State department and the birth certificate upon which the
permit is issued must be retained by the superintendent. Returns must be made by both the employer and the superintendent Who issues the permit. This enaibles the State to
keep a close supervision over this child labor and the number of children thus employed.
In a majority of cases there is no pressing necessity for
the child to leave school and go to work, and such action on
the part of parents is and should be discouraged.
Your superintendent has formulated the following course
of action relative to the granting of work permits. Any
child between 15 and 16 years of age who can pass the educational test or who is in the sixth grade of the public
schools will be granted a work permit provided his parents
signify their assent to this by signing the papers. But in
many cases parents are dissuaded from this course by having their attention called to the child's need of more education. No child between 15 and 16 years of age who cannot
pass the educational requirtment will be given a work permit, and will be required to attend school unless excused
therefrom by the superintendent for good and sufficient reasons.
No child between 14 and 15 years even though he may be
able to pass the educational test prescribed, will be granted
a work permit unless the family are in destitute circumstances.
Only one case in the city has occurred the past year in
which a child has been given the privilege to work under 15
years of age.
PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
The different Parent-Teacher associations of the city
36
CITY OF BATH
have been a great help to the school system the past year.
They have brought the home and school closer together;
certain problems have arisen which the association has settled to the interest of the school system; the improvement to
the schools in giving school libraries, victrolas, prizes, etc.
In fact in all matters of school advancement the organization has done much good.
SCHOOL NURSE
In accordance with the recommendations of other city
superintendents, I am recommending the securing of a
school nurse in conjunction with the Community League.
This nurse to hove charge, under the direction of the Superintendent of Schools, of the prevention of epidemics of contagious diseases, of the elimination of the presence of vermin in the heads of the pupils, of the promotion of better
sanitary conditions in the clothes, and on the bodies of the
pupils, and of the amelioration of diseased conditions in the
bodies of the pupils. To accomplish this she should make
several examinations of the pupils and pay many visits to
the homes of the children who are afflicted. It seems to me
that such work would contribute to the prevention of contagious diseases, and the increase in the average attendance
in our schools. I consider in the absence of an appointed
school physician, that no money would be spent more profitably by the city than that paid to a school nurse.
H I G H SCHOOL
In the High School a good scholarship standing has been
maintained. There are in the school, and to some extent
more than in the past, those pupils who do not apply themselves, and who, therefore, do not get from the school all
that the school can give them. There are, in fact, a few
who are getting very little out of the school. On the other
hand, the large majority of the pupils are earnest workers
37
and those who come to graduation are prepared to go out
into the world and make their way with reasonable success.
In fact, so far as I can ascertain, there are none who have
graduated from our High School in recent years who have
not sooner or later found their way to a successful life work.
The standard of requirements for admission to colleges is
constantly being raised, and we are successfully keeping
pace with the progress. So far as can be determined but
two pupils in the past four years have entered college and
failed to go on. These two dropped out because of neglect
of their college work (this fact was made known to us in
correspondence with the deans of the two colleges). We
have received, unsolicited, several communications from the
various colleges expressing their satisfaction with the preparation our pupils have had. We have nver received a single complaint from any college against the preparation of
pupils who went from this school, and there has never been
any hesitancy on the part of the New England College Entrance Certificate Board in granting us the privilege of issuing certificates for admission to college. At the same
time we are endeavoring to keep the work in the several vocational courses up to such a standard that the amount of
effort and application required of pupils taking these
courses is equivalent to that required of pupils who are making preparation for higher institutions.
All the graduates of the four year commercial course of
the 1916 class, we were able to place in some responsible office in the city. The call for office girls has been more than
the supply. This speaks well for our students.
The work of our high school has progressed finely under
the efficient management of Principal King. The increase
of our high scheel registration is a remarkable record for
any city. It is as follows:
Registration for the fall of 1913 was
249
284
332
38
CITY OF BATH
Approximate registration for the coming fall (1916)
402
This is an increase of 153 pupils in three years or 6 1 % .
I believe the large increase due to the broadening of the
school curriculum to include five four year courses instead
of two.
SPECIAL BRANCHES
The work in music has continued its excellent work under
Miss Bakeman. The results with the High School Orchestra and Chorus have been especially noteworthy.
For the past two years we have been using the Palmer
Ssytem of Penmanship and from comparison with other
schools we believe our pupils are good writers. The results
of the system in the lowest grades however were not fully
satisfactory, as too much time was spent upon the drills and
the letter forms were not mastered sufficiently early to be
used in the other subjects. We have endeavored to correct
this weakness by the introduction of large letter forms.
The work in cooking and sewing has continued along the
same lines as last year. We are endeavoring to make this
work practical as well as educational. The work in manual training has continued allong the same line with the addition of lathe work in the high school.
To know the excellent work done by our capable supervisors, you are referred to their reports, which follow this
report.
MITCHELL SCHOOL
The Mitchell school building, the latest addition to our
schools, is worthy of a passing notice and comment. This
was begun in October, 1915, and completed in August, 1916,
at a cost, including the lot, of $21,000. It is a brick building, two stories in height. It contains six school rooms,
each capable of seating without crowding forty pupils, and
a spacious hallway. Each room is lighted from a solid bank
of windows on one side only, thus securing plenty of light
39
and no cross lights. Adjustable chair seats and desks, electric lights, cement blackboards and adjustable curtains aid
in rendering the rooms pleasant, comfortable, sanitary and
serviceable.
The school rooms are heated by a large steam furnace
with a modern system of ventilation, the halls and basements are also heated by steam.
Besides the furnace rooms, supply rooms and sanitaries,
the basement contains two large sunny rooms for use as
pupils playrooms in rainy or severe weather.
The building embodies the latest ideas of sanitation and
serviceableness at a moderate cost and is a credit to the city.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During the past three years the city has taken the forward step in the establishment of the following important
measures:
1 Courses of study both Elementary ond High.
2 Manual Arts Course in High School.
3 Domestic Aras Course in High School.
4 Instructor in Penmanship.
5 Instructor in Sewing.
6 Establishment of Bailey Evening School.
7 Four year Commercial Course.
8 Department Heads for the High School.
9 Erection of a modern six room building.
io Removal of all old fashioned toilets anad the installation of modern ones.
I I Installation of playground apparatus.
12 Wider use of the school plant.
13 Organization of Parent-Teacher Association.
14 Introduction of Manual Work in Sixth Grade.
15 Addition of pictures for school rooms.
16 Adoption of national system of office and school
records.
17 School census taken in a permanent form.
40
CITY OF BATH
18 Employment of College and Normal School Graduates for all newly elected positions.
19 Improvement in school texts.
20 Installation of Course in Mechanical Drawing.
21 Establishment of new rules and regulations.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND PLANS
First—A reference to Table VII will show that some of
our school buildings are still not what they should be in the
matter of ventilation, lighting, etc. Some of these conditions were remedied last summer. I would recommend that
the others, as soon as our finances allow, be remedied. A
great improvement could be made in our seating and lighting by simply rearranging the desks.
Second—The establishment of an ungraded school in the
Center Primary building. This school should give special
instruction to those pupils who do not fit into any grade,
but who by instruction, and help in the subjects in which
they are deficient, can be enabled to do grade work to advantage.
Third—Some means should be taken to relieve the crowded condition of the Old High School Building and Morse
High School. In my opinion, the building of a six room
wing on the west side of the Morse High, and the installation of the 7-5 plan as recommended in this report, are the
only solution of the problem for the future interests of the
city.
Fourth—In order that medical inspection may accomplish
its best results, some work needs to be done in following up
cases needing attention, and by visiting the homes, secure
for these children the treatment and care which the examination shows to be necessary. This could best be accomplished by a school nurse, and would require a lady of indefinite tact, and one devoted to her work.
Fifth—A reading circle should be planned for the encouragement of professional reading and study on the part of
41
the teachers. There is no teacher, however well trained,
and experienced, who does not need to continue her study
of educational problems.
Sixth—The question of suitable playgrounds not only
for the school children during the school year, but for all
the young people of the city is an important one. Our school
yards are not of sufficient size to provide suitable playgrounds for the boys and girls who attend schools. Our High
School students have no suitable playgrounds. It would be
a wise move on the part of the city to take immediate steps
to remedy this defect. There is an excellent opportunity
for some public spirited citizen or citizens to confer a lasting benefit upon the city by providing its children and young
people with a public playground, including a swimming
pool for the summer, and a skating pond for the winter.
Seventh—Some provision should be made the coming
year whereby the salary schedule should be increased. The
general upward trend of the salaries of teachers in other
places must be met by this city, if we are to retain the services of the efficient teachers whom we must have in order
to maintain the efficiency of our schools.
Eighth—Among the facts concerning the national health
and hygenie which has been firmly established within the
past few years, are these two: First—That it is better to
remove the causes of disease than to cure the disease, and
second—that the common house fly is one of the most dangerous animals because he serves as a carrier of disease.
We therefore try to destroy the fly or at least exclude him
from our dwellings. Why, then should the city permit the
free entrance of these pests into the school rooms where
they not only annoy the pupils and prevent them from doing their best work, but also are a menace to the health of
the pupi's and teacher? I would recommend that at least
two windows in every school room be fitted with screens.
42
CITY OF BATH
Ninth—Establishment of School Savings Banks in the
different buildings of the city.
Tenth—Establishment of room for abnormal children.
Eleventh—Purchasing of stereopticons for school use in
the grammar grades.
CONCLUSION
I would like at this time to express my appreciation of
the friendly co-operation and better spirit prevailing in our
corps of teachers during the year that is just passed. My
relations with them have been pleasant and encouraging.
They have, with very few exceptions, shown a laudable desire to improve what has been entrusted to them. They have
labored under handicaps and without complaint when complaints would have been justifiable. Whether it is generally recognized or not, the city is under greater obligations to
our teaching force than it can ever realize until it is too
late to show any appreciation of those obligations.
I desire to thank the members of the Board of Education,
individually and collectively, for kindnesses received at their
hands during the year, and for their support of our plans
for improvement. I trust that my future dealings with the
Board may be as helpful and satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Principal of the High School
To the Members of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools of Bath:—
I hereby submit my report of the Morse High School for
the year ending July i, 1916.
In my report I wish to make clear the wofk and progress
of the school during the past year and the apparent needs
for the coming year.
The Morse High School during the past year, due to an
efficient instructing staff has done more actual work than
ever before and at the same time the discipline of the school
has been improved. The Morse High School today ranks as
a Class A high school, which means that its graduates compare favorably with the graduates from the high schools of
much larger cities.
As far as possible we are trying to make the work in the
Commercial and Manual Arts Courses fit the pupils for employment in Bath.
The card system of records installed a year ago is very
successful. The record of the wofk of the pupils is easily
available and the loss and destruction of school books is reduced to a minimum.
The attendance for the past year has been good. The
register shows an average attendance of 91 per cent.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
The Morse High School has been well represented during the past year in Music, Debating and Athletics. The
success in music is due to the efforts of Miss Bakeman and
the exceptional talent among the pupils. The Debating
Team made a very good showing. This year it was necessary to train inexperienced pupils for our teams and their
good showing was due to their efforts and the help of Mr.
Smith, Mr. Timberlake and Mr. Flood, who gave valuable
assistance after the resignation of Mr. Smith.
This year the School Committee appointed an Athletic
Council to control the high school athletics which brought
very good results. The athletic teams were coached by the
principal and won the greater part of the games in which
they took part. Due to careful arrangement of schedules
and proper financing, the Athletic Council can report that
at the end of the year 1916, there was a small balance in
the treasury. I wish to mention the name of Mr. McCormick, the Y. M. C. A. Secretary as being a great help to
the High School Athletics both morally and financially.

CITY OF BATH
The Senior reception and the Alumni banquet were held
on the Thursday and Friday nights following graduation.
They were very successful and enjoyable gatherings. The
reunion of graduates was especially inspiring. In one case
three generations were represented.
RECOMMENDATIONS
While statistics show that Bath has a much larger number of pupils per thousand population than most cities, the
increase from 330 to 400 pupils for the coming year make
it necessary to increase the number of desks and chairs as
the present accommodations are inadequate.
This increase in number of pupils also shows the imperative need of at least one additional teacher for the coming year. The boys and girls of Bath have an exceptional
opportunity clue to the high school curriculum including the
Domestic Arts and Manual Arts Courses. The Manual
Arts Course has been developed until now the pupils are
ready for forge work and simple machine work. This will
be the next step of progress in that course.
In closing, Mr. Superintendent, I wish to thank you and
the Members of the Board of Education for your sincere cooperation and encouragement during the past year.

There was another change in the teaching force this year,
Miss Marr taking Miss Kendall's place. All of her time was
devoted to the Ninth Grade, a great improvement over
former conditions, but with such a large class three teachers
are not enough to do justice to each pupil.
An entertainment consisting of a play "The Finer Shades
of Honor' and musical selections was given in April, and a
victrola purchased for the school with the help of the South
End Parent-Teachers Association. With the help of the
Board of Education we also purchased a radiopticon and a
State of Maine flag. I wish to express my thanks for these
gifts as well as for the hearty co-operation.
MARGARET J. ADAMS.
MANUAL TRAINING ROOM
Report of Manual Training Instructor
BATH, MAINE,
June 15, 1916.
GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor to present to you my
fourth annual report for the year just closed.
This department of our school opened Sept. 6, 1915 and
closed today. There were at the opening of school 219
pupils in the grades, 6 from the parochial school, 4 from
Winnegance mixed school, 9 from the junior class of the
Morse High School, 16 from the sophomore class, and 18
from the freshman class, making a total of 272 boys. Since
the opening of school 22 boys have left. Some of these have
moved away and one has died. The classes this year were
arranged as follows:
Monday 8.30 to 10, Weeks Street, 8th, 14 boys.
Mondaj 10 to 11.30, South Street, 8th, 20 boys.
Monday 1 to 2.10, Freshmen, 18 boys.
Monday 2.10 to 3.30, Center Grammar, 7th, 14 boys.
Tuesday 8.30 to 10, Center and Washington, 8th, 19 boys.
Tuesday 10 to 11.30, Sophomores, 16 boys.
Tuesday 1 to 2.10, Junior, 9 boys.
Tuesday 2.10 to 3.30, South St., 7th, 17 boys.
Wednesday 8.30 to 10, Washington and Weeks, 7th, 26
boys.
Wednesday 10 to 11.30, North Grammar, 8th, 18 boys.
Wednesday 1, Freshman.
Thursday 8.30 to 10, North Grammar, 7th, 20 boys.
Thursday 10 to 11.30, Sophomores.
Thursday 1 to 2.10, Juniors.
Thursday 2.10 to 3.30, Ninth Grade, 23 boys.
54
CITY OF BATH
Friday 8.30 to 10, Ninth Grade, 25 boys.
Friday 10 to 11.30, Ninth Grade, 27 boys.
The course of study in the grades was the same as last
year with a few exceptions. In the high school three classes
were formed in the Mechanic Arts course instead of two as
was formerly the case in previous years. You will notice by
this report that the time allowed for Manual Training in
these classes was broken somewhat which made it difficult
to perform all the work planned. Six new Wells' lathes
were installed in the high school this year. These have
proven satisfactory and a good addition in equipment. A
new gj-inder was also installed. The wheel was given to
the school by H. L. Hopkins. The arbor was made at the
Hyde Windlass Co. With the extra tools to care for I
hardly know what we would have done without this new
grinder. Many other changes have been made this year
which have been a great benefit to this department. A new
hardwood floor was laid in the Main room of the basement,
the partition was changed, two tool cupboards were made,
book shelves and step ladder for the office upstairs, 250
frames for the weaving classes, 25 picture frames for the
various schools of the city, and many repair jobs were also
done. Owing to the various changes in the High School,
our annual exhibit this year was held at the various schools
on Friday, June 9th. Considering the stormy weather and
the fact that we deviated from the old custom, this exhibit
was well attended at the various school buildings.
Some of the members of the Cosmopolitan Club came to
me in the early spring and wanted me to co-operate with
them and start a bird house contest. Four prizes were
awarded by them. These houses were on exhibition June
12, at the Assembly Hall of Morse High School. There
were 100 houses built and 95 of these were exhibited. The
exhibit was well attended and proved a great success. The
judges were Mr. C. P. Wethefbee, Rev. Gould J. Brown,

Mr. Wm. White and Mr. A. E. Bishop. The prizes were
awarded to Fred Douglas Armes, John Mclnnes, Laforest
Mains, and Henry Le Gendre. This contest brought out
much thinking and originality on the part of the boys. The
school spirit has been excellent this year. The success of
this department depends upon the co-operation of the Principals of the different schools and the excellent support of
the Superintendent and the Board of Education, and I
heartily thank you for the interest manifest.

Report of the Bailey Industrial School
To the Superintendent of Schools and Members
of the
I herewith submit to you the fifth annual report of the
Domestic Science Department of the Bailey Industrial
School for the year 1915-1916.
The total enrollment for the year in Cooking was 252:
66 from the Seventh Grade, 89 from the Eighth Grade, 77
from the Ninth Grade and 20 from the High School. The
total enrollment in Sewing was 95: 77 from the Ninth
Grade, and 18 from the High School.
Raffia work was taught in all of the Sixth Grades
throughout the city. One hour a week was given over to
the work, one-half hour while the supervisor was in the
building and one-half hour with the regular grade teacher
at some other time during the week. In the Washington
Street Grammar School, where the fifth and sixth grades are
in one room, both classes were given the work and the whole
hour was 6pent while the supervisor was at the building.
The children showed a great deal of interest in the work.
They have made baskets of braided raffia, coat hangers, picture frames, napkin rings, mats on frames and string bags.
The Seventh Grade have used Miss Morris' "Household
Science and Arts" as a text-book in Cooking. Additional
work has been dictated from time to time on subjects not
taken up in the text-book. These notes with the recipes
used each week were kept in loose leaf note books which
were handed in and corrected frequently.
Written lessons were given every month on the work covered in class. In laboratory the first year course as given by
Miss Morris has been followed as nearly as possible. This
REPORT OF BAILEY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
57
includes a thorough study of the different food stuffs and
the principles and methods of cooking fruits, vegetables,
milk, eggs, and carbohydrates, including sugar, starch, and
cereals. At the end of the year the girls prepared lunch
boxes and ices. Several meals were served during the
year and each class invited their teacher to a luncheon which
was planned, prepared and served by the girls. Throughout
the whole year consideramle emphasis was laid upon housekeeping and the care of the kitchen.
The Eighth Grade also used Miss Morris' "Household
Science and Arts'' as a text-book. Their work was supplemented, not only by dictated notes but also by papers which
were written on assigned subjects. The class reviewed the
work done the previous year and covered as nearly as possible the second year course in the text-book. As the course
is very long it was necessary to condense it considerably to
fit the needs of the pupils. The course included methods of
cooking fruit, vegetables, sugar, cereal, scalloped dishes,
creamed dishes, typical batters and doughs, milk, eggs,
salads, the canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables,
the serving of vegetables in new and attractive ways, the
preparation of typical batters and doughs, cooking of meat
and fish, preparation of simple desserts, salads, sandwiches
and ices. Considerable emphasis was laid upon serving.
Several meals were prepared and each class entertained their
teacher at a luncheon.
The Ninth Grade course in Cooking was very much like
the course followed by the Eighth Grade but as they were
farther advanced more combinations were prepared. The
principles of canning and preserving methods of cooking
vegetables, preparation of typical batters and doughs, cooking of meat and fish, preparation of simple desserts, salads,
sandwiches, and ices were thoroughly studied. At the end
of the year a luncheon was served for Miss Adams by one
division of the class.
In sewing the girls took up all of the simple stitches and
58
CITY OF BATH
had considerable practice in the use of the machines. Each
girl made a night gown, garment cover, pillow slip, and
napkin case.
In the High School, Cooking was taught to one class
made up of Freshman and Seniors. "Kinne and Cooley's,
Foods and Household Management" was used as a textbook. The work was supplemented by use of Farmer's Bulletins, dictated notes and the various reference books which
the school owns. A great many papers were assigned on
various subjects which the girls looked up in different reference books. Frequent written examinations were given on
the work covered and two practical examinations were
given when the girls did individual work. In laboratory the
work was principally with combinations which were suitable
for meals. Each girl planned, prepared, and served a
luncheon for four people at which people interested in the
work were entertained. At the beginning of the year, the
girls gave a tea to the High School faculty. Later in the
year they entertained the retiring school board at luncheon
with the assistance of the Monday evening night school
class. During the entire year, credit was given to the girls
for all work done at home and reported. A record was
kept of all the reports and honorable mention was made of
the girl and the classes which did the most home cooking.
High School Sewing was given to a class of Sophomores
and Seniors. Kinne and Cooley's "Shelter and Clothing"
was used as a text-book. As the different subjects were
taken up, samples of the different clothes were collected and
charts made. Each girl kept a note book in which were
placed samples of the most common methods of finishing
garments with the directions for doing the work. A great
deal of time was spent drafting patterns which were later
modified and used as well as machine made patterns Each
girl made a night dress, kimona, combination, petticoat shirt
waist, and dress. A great deal of improvement has been
shown during the year.
59
On Friday afternoon June 9, an exhibition was held at
each of the grade rooms. The best raffia work from each
class was exhibited. Each girl in the seventh and eighth
grades cooked two things at home and put them on exhibition at the school. The Ninth Grade girls each prepared
one thing which was put on exhibition in the main room.
The sewing exhibit was held in the Ninth Grade Assembly
Room. A selection was made of the best work done by the
Ninth Grade pupils and all of the dresses made by the High
School pupils were exhibited.
In closing I wish to thank the Superintendent of Schools,
Teachers, and Board of Education for their hearty co-operation throughout the year.

Report of Bailey Evening School
To
the Superintendent
Board of
of Schools
and Members
of
the
Education:—
G E N T L E M E N :—I hereby submit my first annual report of
the Bailey Evening School of the City of Bath, the same
being the third of the series of reports.
T h e Bailey Evening School of Instruction is an evening
school where practical instruction is given and is conducted
along the lines of continuation schools. No tuition charge
is made and the classes are open to all who wish to attend.
T h e instruction is made practical and as far as possible the
work has a direct bearing on the occupation of the student.
The instruction is more of a n individual nature and the instructors try to give each student work which will help him
most in his daily work. This school is available by the wills
of Misses Lucinda Bailey and Mary A. Wiggin and through
their generosity many people of Bath have been taught to
better fill their positions while others have obtained higher
positions through its instructions.
64
CITY OF BATH
IN GENERAL
This is the third year of the school and a very successful
one. The eagerness with which 500 students applied for enrollment shows the demand for such a school in Bath. The
school is fortunate in having good class rooms and accommodations in such a fine building as the Morse High School.
The school opened for registration on September 23rd,
and each applicant filled out a card which showed his age,
occupation, address and the course of study he wished to
pursue. These cards were kept on file during the year. The
classes began October 4th and continued for a term of
twenty-five weeks closing April 7th. No classes were held
Thanksgiving night and economy required that the school
be given a vacation of two weeks at Christmas time. Every
teacher was required to keep a register which shows the
complete attendance of each student in their classes.
A course in Navigation was added this year to the studies
of last year and was well attended. To extend to the usefulness of the school to the public, in general, a course of
instructve lectures were given. This year the subjects for
the lecture were made specific and adapted to the needs of
Bath people.
COURSES OF STUDY
Courses of Study were offered in Mechanics, Mathematics, Shop Arithmetic, Mechanical Drawing, Machine
Designing, Ship Drafting, Advanced Gregg Stenography,
Elementary Gregg Stenography, Typewriting, Bookkeeping,
Navigation, Elementary Sewing, Advanced Sewing, Elementary Cookfin?. Advanced Cooking, Elementary Grade
Work, Edvanced Grade Work, Manual Training.

OUTLINE OP STUDY
A brief outline of the ground covered in each of the
courses of study is as follows:
MECHANICS
Elementary Mechanics: The work began with the consideration of the elementary principles of mechanics and then
application to simple machines as, levers, wedges, screws,
pulleys, etc. A brief review of trigonometry with practical
problems was taken, and then the principles of resolution of
forces and the application to machines and framed structures. About sixty problems were solved and special stress
laid on the proper analysis of the conditions of the problems,
clear statements and the use of the slide rule in computations.
Advanced Mechanics: The work in this course was a continuation of the course in Mechanics of the previous year.
Work began with a review of the beam theory and its applications. The calculations for strength of shafting, keys and
couplings were taken up and the use and comparison of the
various practical column formulae. The design of machine
parts and simple structures was studied with regards to
strength calculation and then practical application. About
thirty-five problems were solved covering the range of the
principles involved.
MECHANICAL DRAWING
The class in Mechanical Drawing was held two nights a
week and began with the use of the instruments, geometrical constructions, projections and intersections. The work
70
CITY OF BAT H
closed with the drawing of simple machine parts as bolts,
pulleys and bearings.
MACHINE DESIGN
The work in the course in Machine Design consisted in
drawing and tracing designs of wrenches, couplings, pip fittings, stuffing boxes, valves, connecting rods, etc., the projection of sections and surface developments. The methods
employed were as near as possible in accordance with actual
drawing room practice.
SHIP DRAFTING
The course in ship drafting began with a brief study of
the principles of mechanical drawing and proceeded to the
laying down of a vessel with the explanation of the relation
of the different lines; methods of calculation for the finding
of areas, displacement, etc., of a ship were discussed and
studied.
STENOGRAPHY
The elementary class have studied the manual as far as
the abbreviating principles. They have also had supplementary work from the Gregg Writer and the Gregg Exercise Book.
The advanced students in Gregg Shorthand have spent
their time on taking dictation at speed varying from 75 to
100 words a minute. The books used have been The
Eldridge Dictation Book, The Gregg Speed Practice and
The New Universal Dictation Course.
TYPEWRITING
The students were instructed in touch-typewriting and the
use and construction of the various makes of typewriting
.machines in the school, and very satisfactory progress was
attained. The preparation of business correspondence and
SEWING EXHIBIT, NINTH GRADE AND HIGH SCHOOL
71
the subject of tabulation was taken up and it is considered
that the students have made good progress.
BOOKKEEPING
The work in the course in Bookkeeping was in the Modern Illustrated System and most of the pupils were able to
nearly complete the course. Commercial Arithmetic was
also included in the course with very good results.
SEWING
Elementary Sewing: The first lessons consisted in teaching how to use the sewing machine, to cut, to baste, to fit,
and finish negligee house dresses and plain shirt waists.
Later woolen anad linen skirts, fancy waists, afternoon or
party dresses were made.
COOKING
Elementary Cooking: In the elementary cooking class,
most of the term was spent on the preparation of plain
dishes of general use in the home. The last three lessons
were on salads and chafing dish dainties.
Advanced Cooking: In the advanced class fancy cooking
was given such as plank steak, fish, salads, desserts and
chafing dish dainties.
ELEMENTARY GRADE WORK
The beginners learned the four fundamental processes in
arithmetic, long division and started fractions. They completed "First Lessons in English for Foreigners" by Frederick Houghton and used Sara R. O'Brien's "English for
Foreigners" as a supplementary reader.
The advanced class studied William E. Chancellor's
"Arithmetic for Evening Schools" as far as square measure.
This includes rapid work in addition, subtraction, multipli-
72
CITY OP BATH
cation and division; fractions, cancellation, factoring, decimals, bills and denominate numbers; as a reader and language book this class completed Chancellor's "Reading and
Language Lessons for Evening Schools," and also read
Chancellor's "History and Government of the United
States."
Both classes had a writing and spelling lesson each session.
ADVANCED GRADE WORK
In the advanced grade work class, particular stress was
placed on arithmetic and the examples were rendered as
practical as possible. In grammar and spelling great care
was taken with the words commonly misused with special
work on capitals and punctuation.
MANUAL TRAINING
The course in Manual Training was open to regular students of the public schools who desired more time to put on
their work, but many took the work who were not connected with the day schools. Some of the models made were
study lamps, sleds, small tables, bookcases, carved and inlaid glove boxes and sewing trays. Applied design was
studied and the laying out and constructing of various wooden joints.
NAVIGATION
The ground covered by the course of navigation during
the past winter was from a day's work to a longitude by
chronometer. Also position by bearings and the Sumners
method was touched upon.
PENMANSHIP
The class in Penmanship was held one night of each week.
The Palmer Method of Business Writing was the text used.
REPORT 01* BAILEY EVENING SCHOOL
73
The work began with a study of position and muscular
movement. It ended with a careful study of form, size,
slant and spacing of letters, words, and sentences.
MATHEMATICS
The course in Mathematics took up Algebra through simple equations, special stress on the applications to the solution of formulas, logarithms, the elements of trigonometry
as applied to plane and oblique triangles, the simple mechanical powers and elementary strength of materials. This
course was given one night a week and could be taken simultaneously with drawing and shop arithmetic.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The success of an evening school class depends largely on
the instructor. Experience shows that much is gained by
the instructor showing an interest in the daily occupation
of his pupils. The instructor for an evening school class
must be well informed along the lines of his instruction, and
have the proper personality in order for his class to be a
success. If it is expedient to give the night school a vaca-
REPORT of BAILEY EVENING SCHOOL
75
tion at Christmas time it would seem best to have it understood when the students register as it is at that time that
the attendance falls with the least provocation.
The principal wishes to express his thanks to the Board
of Education and the corps of teachers of the past year for
their earnest work and co-operation. Also to the University
of Maine, who have provided the lectures at the school and
to the Bath Daily Times for their interest and their willingness to publish matter connected with the school work. It is
felt that the Bailey School of Industries has fullfilled its purpose during the past year, and has established itself permanently among the institutions of Bath.

Report of Supervisor of Music
To the Board of Education
Schools:—
and the Superintendent
of
DEAR SIRS:—It gives me pleasure to submit to you my
sixth annual report of the work done in the Music Department of the Bath City Schools.
Early in the fall we put the "Progressive" Book I into the
hands of the teachers of the first and second grades. This
was all that was necessary for the first year, as the songs
were taught by rote and later in the second year one at a
time placed on the board for study. Another year it will be
necessary to have books in the hands of the children of one
grade so that a continuation study of the songs learned by
rote may be made by actual vision. The Progressive Series
has met with great favor here in Bath as it has in hundreds
of other places in the U. S. since it was started two years
ago. I was able to get ideas for primary work through my
attendance at Summer School at Auburndale last year.
Following the written Theory Schedule for Grades III
through VIII, written music was required in all the rooms
at least once a week. These papers were saved in sets and
put up in attractive form for exhibition. Each pupil began
with the work of grade III and finished the requirements
through his own grade if possible. Most of the grades except the eighth were able to do this. The pupils were given
these sets at the close of school to take home.
The year has marked real progress for efficiency from
the fact that I have been able to help some of the teachers
twice as much as formerly by having them take the lesson
now and then before me. In this way I have been able to
see their weak points and spend time on them instead of
REPORT OP SUPERVISOR 01? MUSIC
77
wasting time on phases of the music that they could do as
well as I. The teachers have responded finely and it has
been a positive joy and often a profit to me, to work these
things out with them.
About the middle of the year we adopted the Music Rank
Sheet which simply means an individual study of the child
musically. To better get at the estimate and to insure individual attention we marked each child on the following five
points each month in the regular music period: ( i ) Written work according to the regular schedule; (2) Sight Singing, estimated from Sight Singing Slips or new exercises in
the book; (3) Rythmic Sense, based on the Time Studies:
(4) Quality of Voice or Solo Singing, estimated from any
familiar song chosen by the pupil. Any child now from
Grade I through VIII is willing to sing a solo with no help
except the pitch from the teacher, any time that he is called
upon. (5) Ear Training, based on the ability to hear simple melodies sung with a neutral syllable and either to write
the notes on a staff or tell the syllable names of the same.
In this way the ear is trained to detect the smallest intervals.
Any of these ranks that were hard for the teacher to estimate we worked out together in my visits to the room. The
efficiency of any school system lies in the advanced efficiency
of its teaching force each year. I feel that through a necessary application to points hitherto passed over in the music
study of the child we have through this rank sheet increased
the intrinsic value of music teaching force fifty per cent.
The pupils have taken part successfully in the various
musical and school entertainments throughout the year,
and given a great deal of pleasure to both parents and teachers. At the Sagadahoc County Convention, about twelve
pupils from Grade VIII Weeks Street School and nine from
Grade VI sang very acceptably. I also gave a "Progressive"
lesson illustrating the work done in Grades I and II, using
about 12 little folks from different rooms in the city. The
78
CITY OF BATH
M. H. S. Glee Club also sang at this convention, responding
with an encore after insistent applause.
The music in the High School has been carried on in the
same general way with this exception: We were obliged to
make two separate classes for Music Appreciation as so
many of the pupils wanted the course that had conflicts with
other studies. It seemed a waste of time to give the same
lesson over twice in one day and it could probably be avoided another year by more careful attention to this subject in
making out the High School schedule instead of getting
everything else settled first and trying to put into odd study
periods a subject that ioo or more pupils want to take. The
course this year has been Orchestration and the students
have most of them showed their thorough enjoyment of it
by well prepared lessons and excellent note books, in which
they kept, besides the notes on each lesson, pictures of the
different instruments studied, sketches and pictures of the
composers, etc. A list of something like 35 names was published in the paper for those who passed in the best note
books. These books were examined by me twice during the
year. We have had two written tests and a musical spelling
match besides our regular thirty lessons, including the study
of the violin, viola, violoncello, bass viol and harp belonging
to the string family, the flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn,
clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contra bassoon belonging to
the wood-wind family, trumpet, cornet, French horn, trombone and tuba of the brass family, drums (kettle, snare and
bass) cymbals and other instruments of percussion. The
last few lessons dealt with the beginning of orchestration
from earliest times and its development up to the present
day. Of course in one lesson a week these subjects could
not be covered exhaustively but an incentive to know more
and a keener interest in musical things and people has been
engendered in the minds and hearts of our High School
pupils, which, is beginning to show results even in our three
years of work along this line.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
79
The High School Chorus has met every Thursday and has
done as well as can be expected from a body of students
that has no graduation music as a goal for inspiration and
incentive. We will never get the results of which they are
perfectly capable until Bath gets in line with thousands of
the big cities in the United States and has a well balanced
chorus sing at its High School graduation.
The M. H. S. Glee Olub made its greatest success this
year by its presentation of the Chinese Opera "little Almond Eyes," written by Mr. Will Macfarlane ami given at
the Columbia Theatre, May 12. The performance was exceptional in that no outside soloists were hired for the occasion but five of the club members, Misses Strong and Hanson, Messrs. Burke, McLellan and Miller did all the solo
work. The parts were difficult and the acting very exacting, but the young people carried it off without a break in a
most professional manner. The Glee Club numbered thirtysix this year, making nine on each soprano, alto, tenor and
bass part. The costumes for the boys and soloists were
hired from Portland, while the girls furnished their own.
There were 13 pieces in the orchestra including those played
by three boys who were former members of the Glee Club,
also Miss Pauline Adams, violin; Mr. Small, double bass;
Mr. Breton, cornet; Mr. Stacy, trombone and Mr. Harding,
flute, were ready as ever to help the Glee Club without pay.
The rest were members of the regular High School orchestra. They all deserve great credit for their part in the performance and the close attention they paid to the baton was
very gratifying. Credit is also due Miss Waterhouse for
help with the expression work and to Miss Adams for help
with the orchestra. Roughly speaking we took in about
$254.00. Our expenses were as follows: $40.00 for rent of
theatre, $6.00 for rental of orchestra score, about $11.00 for
"Almond Eyes" scores and librettos, $44.00 for hire of costumes; $12.00 for printing, $5.00 for expressage and incidentals, making a total of $118.00 expenses. A net gain of
80
CITY OF BATH
$124.00 came from sale of tickets and $12.00 from program
advertising. Of this amount we have already paid out
$25.00 for Victrola records used in the High School Music
Appreciation course this past year, and $23.00 for hire of
boat for our annual excursion to Boothbay and the Islands,
to which we invited all the members of the orchestra and
those who had helped us with "Almond Eyes," and the High
School faculty. At the last meeting of the Glee Club in June,
we voted $50.00 or more for a set of new High School music
books so badly needed in the Assembly Hall.
This performance of "Almond Eyes'' attracted attention
all over Maine, partly because Mr. Macfarlane is municipal
organist of Portland, and partly because a High School
dared to undertake so pretentious a work with pupils as
soloists.
The Ninth Grade has been larger than ever this year, the
chorus numbering about 135. The singing there and orchestra, and hearty co-operation of Miss Adams, have been
a constant joy. The Victrola earned from the proceeds of
the annual entertainment, we hope to use in Appreciation
Work next year. A glance at their graduation program will
show that they were able to sing as hard a work as "The
Anvil Chorus" from II Trovatore and the Lost Chord by
Sullivan. They also sang for the old soldiers Memorial
Day at the exercises at the Central Church. The Glee Club
quartet also sang at this function.
As exhibition day was held this year June 9th in each separate room, we worked out a little musical program for each
room consisting of songs from the book, solos, duets, trios
and small choruses. Many of the teachers too, showed to
the parents some of the technical side of our school music.
At the close of' the year I was interested to take statistics
from the Rank Sheets for the last month marked, which was
May. I was glad to find 261 pupils who had a majority of
E's (excellent—highest mark). The remaining one or two
marks out of the five had to be G's or I did not count the
REPORT OE SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP
81
name. 90 of these 261 had E in every detail. Quite a few
had four E's and one F, showing a lack in just one phase,
but those names I did not include.
In closing I would say that I feel we have made more
progress toward an efficient music system than in any of the
other five years I have been with you. I have been courteously and kindly treated by the school officials and teachers
and cannot help but feel that Music is getting a nearer and
dearer hold than ever before in the hearts and minds of our
people of Bath.
MARGARET BAKEMAN,
Supervisor of Music.
Report of Teacher of Penmanship
I herewith submit my first annual report as supervisor of
penmanship in the Bath Public Schools.
The first four grades used "Writing Lessons for Primary
Grades." The grammar grades all used the Palmer Manual
of Business Writing.
A great deal of emphasis was placed on position and
movement as they form the foundation of muscular movement writing. Although the results obtained this year do
not reach my ideal, I am certain penmanship in Bath has
been placed on a firm basis and in time will show results.
82
CITY OF BATH
All the teachers took the Palmer method normal training
school course in accordance with the vote taken by the
School Board July i, 1915. T e n of the teachers sent in
every drill before the close of the school year J u n e 16, 1916.
A number of others have almost finished. T h e course will
he continued next year giving all a chance to complete the
work and obtain certificates. W h e n the teachers have all
learned through this course to execute muscular movement
writing, we shall get some excellent results from the pupils.
The pupils in the g r a m m a r grades worked for Palmer
Method Buttons. These buttons are given free by the A . N .
Palmer Co. to all pupils who write satisfactorily the first
25 drills in the Palmer Manual. T w o hundred ninety-three
pupils won Palmer Method Buttons.

PROGRESS PIN
Lena Green,
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP
85
Lena Green of the Center Grammar School won the Progress Pin. This pin is offered for the first one hundred drills
in the Palmer Manual.
The improvement in penmanship has been due largely to
the grade teachers.
In closing I wish to thank the superintendent and teachers for the interest and hearty support which they have
given to my work in penmanship.
