CITY OF MELROSE.
Report of Supervisor of Music.
To the Superintendent of Schools :-
In accordance with your request, I submit the following report:
The best of the physical, mental and spiritual nature can be stirred and strengthened by the use of the right kind of sing- ing.
The history of music in public schools is most interesting, showing a gradual development from the primitive methods.
The progress is nowhere more apparent than in the won- derful improvement in the quality of the music used.
Many beautiful songs are now sent each year into every home that is in touch with the public schools.
Patriotism and love of home and nature in their truest sense can thus be impressed.
No change in the music text-books has been made during the year, but The Laurel Song Book, has been introduced in the High School and is giving great satisfaction. It contains many fine selections, the words and music of which are from the best known poets and composers.
The music class, composed from the three upper classes in . the High School, meets Thursday mornings, and the Fourth Class meets in the afternoon, taking up the same work as the morning class.
During the present school year, no Glee Clubs or Orchestra have as yet been organized in the High School on account of the two sessions.
Much satisfactory work is being done in the grades, and considering the amount of time allowed each week for music, it is surprising what results can be obtained.
The supervisor believes it would be beneficial to the chil- dren, and of interest to parents, if more of them would visit the schools and hear the children sing.
Respectfully submitted,
Edwin N. Griffin, Supervisor.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Report of Supervisor of Drawing.
Mr. John C. Anthony,
Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :- In response to your request I submit the fol- lowing report on drawing for the year 1909-1910.
The general line of work in drawing in the primary and grammar grades has been the same as the previous year.
Three branches of industrial arts were introduced in the Washington School this fall, namely, weaving, basketry, and cane seating.
Miss Eaton, a Normal Art Graduate, has charge of the Weaving. Mrs. Julian C. Woodman, has charge of the cane seating. The making of baskets is taught by the individual teacher. A class in basketry is held with the teachers on Mon- day afternoons by Mrs. Gogin, Principal of the Winthrop School, to aid the teachers to become more proficient in that line.
The supplies are bought from a fund raised by a fair.
I have started a class in cane seating among the boys of the D. W. Gooch School.
Such industrial training is a great character builder for boys and girls. May another year find similar classes in all the schools, including one, where the art of printing is taught.
Much to my regret the art class in the High School was discontinued in the spring, owing to the lack of adequate room. Therefore I have been able to devote more time in visiting the grades.
To help the teachers to become better fitted for their work, classes in pencil sketching and water color, were held Monday afternoons in the fall. Grade meetings have been held from time to time and weekly conferences have been held for the individual teacher.
The aim in art is to train the powers of observation and to develop in each child a knowledge of the elements of beauty, and facility in drawing. With such an incentive, great in- terest has been shown and many excellent results have been obtained.

Report of Supervisor of Manual Training.
Mr. John C. Anthony,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :- In accordance with your request, I have pre- pared the following report.
Our work in manual training is a constant effort to dis- cover the largest possibilities in manual training as a factor in general education. So our aim is the same as in all education.
I have planned the hand work in the lower grades with Miss Coyle, Supervisor of drawing, but she has had charge of the work.
I thoroughly believe in the correlation of drawing and manual training, but I think that some time should be re- served for the hand work, that the work may be recognized and have a place of its own.
I would recommend clay modelling in the first five grades; paper folding and cutting for the first four grades; weaving in paper in the first grade; weaving in other material on card- board looms for the second and third grades; weaving on wooden frames for grades four and five; knot work in string and raffia for grades four and five; advanced cardboard for grade six, with sewing for the girls, and whittling for the boys.
The work of the three upper grades consists of sewing for the girls, and woodwork for the boys. The time has been re- duced twice for the work in these grades. When the work was introduced six years ago, one and one-half hours each week was allowed for each class. Then there were fourteen rooms for these grades,-now we have nineteen rooms for these three grades.
Sewing. The sewing begins in grade seven, and is in charge of the regular teacher. I plan the work and prepare

directions for each kind of sewing and its application. I have teachers' meetings and visit the rooms to inspect the work. There is a text-book on Sewing, in each building. I am always ready to meet the teachers for special help. The girls of this grade make a work case and a work apron. They also have patching, darning, and buttonholes.
In grade nine, the design work is correlated with the sew- ing. The girls learn the embroidery edge stitch, hemstitching, marking of household linen, and the simpler knots and stitches in drawn work.
In grade seven the girls study about the growth and man- ufacture of cotton and woolen cloth. In grade eight they study about silk and linen. In grade nine the girls learn about the history of weaving.
At Christmas time stenciling was taught in each of these grades and applied to some useful article to be taken home. Among the articles made were, calendar and telephone pads, handkerchief cases, brush broom cases, and bags of all kinds. The expense was kept very low and simplicity was the keynote.
I would like next year to give some talks to the girls of grade nine, on color harmony and lines in dress, and on sim- plicity and harmony in house furnishings.
Woodwork. Grade Seven. The boys have had some practice in making and reading working drawings before this grade. All our work is done either from drawings made by the boys or from blue prints. The work of this grade is simple and few tools are used. I try to give the boys an insight into the correct use of a few tools, and to inspire a desire for accurate work. The boys learn the use of nails and screws and we make a few useful articles. The work alternates between straight work which can be tested with tools, and form work which can be tested only with the eye and fingers. The different saws are studied. The boys are expected to know the different kinds of wood they use and to recognize the leaves of the trees from which the wood comes. The boys design one piece of work in this grade. This year they designed and made a brack- et. Before beginning a piece of work each boy is required to make out a "Lumber Order" stating what he is to make, the
66
CITY OF MELROSE.
kind of wood to be used, his finished measurements and the amount of wood which he will saw from the large board. After a piece of work is complete the boy makes a "Record" of his work, stating his standard measurements and the measure- ments obtained and the tools he has used, and marks his esti- mate of his workmanship,-excellent, passable, or unsatisfact- ory. I find the boys are usually just in their estimate of what their work is worth.
Grade Eight. The work in this grade begins with a quick review of the work of the previous grade. The box and its construction is studied. For the boys who are interested in Nature, the bird house is substituted for the box. Gouging is studied and design is applied to the trays. This year the boys have done some hammered brass in connection with the wood work, tea tiles and blotter pads have been made, and the boys have made their own designs.
Grade Nine. The work begins with the glued joint, which is a fine test of what has been learned. After the first piece, the boys take the lead and plan their own work just as far as they are able. They do staining and polishing and study the growth of the tree and the methods of sawing and prepar- ing it for commercial lumber. Large pieces are attempted in this grade. Quite a number have made skees. I wish that snow shoes might be tried, but we have no way to bend them.
Every year some of the High School boys come back and ask the privilege of working. Wireless apparatus is being made by several.
I wish that the grammar school athletics might interest more boys, and I would be glad to have the boys make simple apparatus to be used at the several buildings.
I appreciate the cooperation received from the Superin- - tendent, Committee and teachers.
Respectfully submitted,
Aimee Clara Ferson,
Director of Manual Training.

SCHOOL REPORT.
Report of Supervisor of Penmanship.
Mr. John C. Anthony,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :- In accordance with your request, I submit the following report in penmanship work for the year 1909- 1910.
My program of teaching in the High School has afforded me little opportunity to supervise the work in the grades. 1 have outlined the work for the teachers at meetings held in the High School building.
As a result of special effort on the part of the teachers there is much less finger-movement writing, and unusual pro- gress has been made along the lines of good body position and correct penholding.
A study of letter formation has been begun. This phase of penmanship work always interests the child and aids him in improving the shape of the letters.
The children are proficient enough in the execution of technical movement exercises, but need practice in the appli- cation of this same movement in their regular written work.
A very encouraging feature of this years' penmanship work is that the teachers have supervised all of the pupils' written work.
In many schools this is not done, and the writing period is followed by longer periods during which the child writes as he pleases. Since he chooses to work carelessly at such times, no improvement in his writing is evident, and the penmanship period is practically time wasted.
The penmanship outlook in our schools is encouraging be- cause, I believe, the pupils are anxious to become good writers.
I appreciate the favors which have been shown me in this work.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert S. Schoonmaker, Supervisor.

Changes in the School Committee.
There has been but one change in the membership of the Committee during the past year. Mr. Oscar F. Frost, who has given six years of active and effective service, the last year as Chairman of the Board, retired ,and the vacancy was filled by the election of Mr. William A. Morse, who has held several im- portant positions in the city government.
At a meeting of the School Committee held December 29th, the following resolutions were adopted in recognition of Mr. Frost's services to the City.
"Whereas, our Chairman, Mr. Oscar F. Frost, retires from the School Board at the end of this year,-
"Resolved, that we, the School Committee of Melrose, record our appreciation of his fairness and ability as our pre- siding officer this year, of his excellent record of attendance at. the meetings, and of his keen interest in all school problems during his six years of service .-
"Resolved, that in Mr. Frost's retirement the School Board loses a faithful member and the City a faithful servant."
Conclusion.
The work of the year has been one of transition. The many plans inaugurated last spring had to be carried into effect by one unfamiliar with the system. Mistakes have been made, but I feel that they have been largely counteracted by the loyal support of a competent, hard-working corps of teachers, the friendly, helpful advice of your Committee, and the kindly consideration of parents and citizens. For the many courtesies extended and the cordial reception given me in my new position, I am sincerely grateful.
Respectfully submitted, John C. Anthony, Superintendent of Schools.
