teachers who must be capable of developing their own class room technique as new problems present themselves to meet the needs of constantly changing groups of pupils. Last June the 75th anniversary of the Punchard Free School Commencement was fittingly observed. The meeting held on Sunday afternoon, the 17th opened a week in which many of the older alumni visited the school to take a farewell of Punchard Hall. Even those whose association with, the old building was most cherished expressed real satisfaction that we were to have improved quarters: The booklet- published by the Alumni Association has already proved a valuable source of reference, containing, as it does the complete list of former pupils and teachers and the historical sketch by Miss Bessie Punchard Goldsmith, ' 99. A year ago I had to report an unfavorable balance in the Athletic Association treasury. It seemed as though we should have to give up having a school baseball team, but through the generosity of -friends on whom we never call in vain, enough money was raised to carry us through. As it was our year to entertain Methuen High School on the football field, the financial returns this fall were better than a year ago. Consequently the present year opens with all bills paid and a small balance. I have maintained for years that the athletics in our school were better managed, on a saner basis, and contained more of real value to the participants than those of most similar schools. With suitable quarters in view, we should be able to get nearer our goal of physical education for every pupil. There will always be an anomaly, however, in a situation which includes athletic sports as a part of our educational program and makes them depend for their support on the uncertain income from gate receipts or the charitable donations of friends. This series of reports began years ago. At first they were largely statistical. Such statistics have long been included in the superintendent ' s reports. The trustees originally made the report for the school but now for nearly fifty years they have been made by, the principal. In the meantime the relation of the Superintendent of Schools to the Punchard School has grown closer. With the daily meetings which come from having offices within a few feet of each other, it is hardly more than a formality for the principal to make an annual report to the superintendent. The present principal has long since exposed his educational ideals to a public which probably never reads his report. The proper communications to the trustees can be made orally. It seems then, a fitting time to suggest the termination of this series, in the interest of utility and economy, with, this twenty-fifth annual effort. Respectfully submitted, NATHAN C, HAMBLIN.
