Without a noble ideal there can be no worthy ac- complishment. A noted educator has said, "Educa- tion should develop love for labor, skill in effort, ten- derness of sympathy, joy of appreciation, sensitive- ness for the right, alertness of intellect, and strength to hold on. It should give the student a mastery of the printed page and make known to him the message of star, rock, flower, bird, painting, and symphony. It should also help him to find his work, render his ut- most of service, and feel his personal responsibilty."
Could we have a higher ideal for the inspiration of all our school activities?

Report of Supervisor of Drawing
The work in drawing, during the past year, has been such as to train the child to express freely and rapidly by use of the pencil, crayons, scissors, and paints such objects as are closely connected with the child's daily life, to encourage ingenuity by construc- tive plan drawing and construction of objects, to ac- quaint the child with common flower forms, to develop originality in design, to help each child gain some knowledge of freehand lettering together with an in- telligent use of the ruler. The aim has also been to instil in the child of the grammar grades, through dis- cussion and comparison, taste for good home furnish- ings.
The scissors have been the favored medium in the elementary grades. By their use children attain comparatively good results which serve to give them confidence and interest in their work. In the rush of everyday life, children are often forgotten as needing amusement. A short course in paper doll making and dress design for dolls is being carried on in the lower grades with the aim to help in amusing the children at home and, also, to create a desire to originate.
Problems in design and construction, such as the
making of lamp shades, blotter pads and letter holders, have been taken up in the grammer grades. Much in- terest has been apparent where the children have been carefully guided and given time to complete their ob- jects.
69
Considering the fact that only one hour a week has been allotted to drawing, most satisfactory results have been produced. All appreciation of success is due the teachers who have done their work faithfully.
There are still many practical problems along the lines of industrial art to be taught in the public schools of Hatfield. It is with good faith that teacher and pupil go to make this kind of work count toward bet- ter and more efficient citizenship.

Report of Supervisor of Music
The study of public school music has been con- fined chiefly to the principles of music, vocal sight reading and singing of songs and choruses. The work has been carried out as in former years.
One of the weak poits in our grade work this year has been deficient pitches or the inability to think tone. However, this is gradually being overcome through the sincere efforts of our faithful grade teach- ers, and in many o fthe grades a marked improvement in tone quality has been shown.
Within the last few years steps have been taken to broaden the study of music in the schools by intro- ducing a course of music appreciation or "Listening Lessons in Music." The aim of this course is to teach the child to concentrate and listen intelligently, also to become familiar with the best of music and our lead- ing composers and artists.
As we already possess the Victrola, we hope to introduce this valuable course in our public schools in the near future.

Report of Medical Inspectors
The work of medical inspection has been con- ducted along the same lines as in previous years.
The co-ordination between the teachers and in- spectors has improved as the teachers have become more familiar with the work. They recognize quickly those cases that need to be reported immediately to the physicians for investigation, thereby minimizing the danger of epidemics among the school children.
However, in some of the milder contagious dis- eases, a child may be absent from school a day or two, or even at times, not being absent from session, or may be ill Saturday or Sunday, during which time they may or may not have had an eruption. These children on returning to school may start an epidemic, and the cause not be recognized.
Such cases do not necessarily cast reflection on those concerned, as many of the contagious diseases, even the dangerous ones, are at times very mild. Even to such extent that some individuals may harbor the germs of these contagious diseases without being ill. This is notoriously so in regard to diphtheria.
We have been fortunate, in spite of severe weath- er, not to have serious epidemics to combat this year.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE WEST HATFIELD SCHOOL HOUSE
The committee appointed have made a careful in- vestigation of conditions at the West Hatfield school. We find, as stated in the School Committee's report last year, that "the heating, lighting, ventilation, and · toilet arrangements are inconvenient and unsanitary." Furthermore, any attempt to make the present build- ing satisfactory would cost more than it is worth. And even after the most complete repairs were made the plan and construction of the house would be unsatis- factory.
Under normal business conditions, the committes would recommend the erection of a two-room modern building, with both rooms on the first floor; but con- sidering the difficulty and high cost of securing labor and materials, we do not feel like urging that any building be erected this year. We further recommend that minor repairs be made as needed, and that prepar- ation be made for a new building and a larger play. ground when the voters of the town are ready for such action.

Finance Committee
For the coming year, owing to the high price of labor and stone, (the two principal ingredients of road making), your Finance Committee recommend :- no new road construction for this year; but instead to ap- propriate and apply every dollar not needed for re- pairs of bridges, to the maintenance of-(including resurfacing, oiling, patching, and general upkeep) of our 52 miles of stone, gravel, and dirt roads, other than state.
While we have now about 10 miles of stone roads, a good share of this demands immediate attention, such as resurfacing, oiling, and patching; and to show that the Highway Commission thinks that this con- dition is state-wide, they are offering as an induce- ment to help towns maintain roads already construct- ed, a sum of $50 per mile, under certain conditions- which we recommend accepting.
We also recommend as follows :-
