Listening for pleasure should be emphasized, in train- ing the child, and he should learn to enjoy the sound of his own voice as well as that of others.
Occasional periods are spent in "listening for enjoy- ment". These periods are most valuable. Children en- joy different types of music composition and the various instruments of the orchestra.
Programs were prepared and presented as follows : Grades one through twelve sang for Memorial Day. This was the only opporunity, during the year, to present a mu- sical program for public enjoyment. Elementary school graduation was enhanced by choral music sung by pupils from the seventh and eighth grades, and with the Boy's Choir participating.
Our younger children should be given more opport- unities to present public programs. My suggestion is to use either operettas or varied programs.

Smith Academy groups have had more experience in presenting numbers for the various school activities than have other groups.
We are most fortunate this year in having a number of very good accompanists for the Girls' Glee Club and Chorus. We need more time here, but many willing students are unable to remain after school hours on acc- ount of the transportation problem.
My sincerest thanks and appreciation go to all of those who cooperated with me in our music work.
Respectfully submitted, MAUDE E. BOYLE,
Supervisor of Music.

To the Superintendent and Members of the School Comm- ittee, Hatfield, Massachusetts.
Health Supervision of the School
When the State claims the child as a future citizen through the Compulsory Education Law, the school be- comes a public responsibility to all concerned. That good health is the surest basis for both happiness and efficiency is an accepted fact in the twentieth century. That the health of the child determines largely the health of the adult, that a child suffering from the effects of uncorrec- ted physical defects is seriously handicapped in school work as well as retarded in normal physical development are also accepted facts of today. Therefore, the first ob- ligation of the State and local community is to see that every child is given "an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of Life".
This means: First, complete cooperation between school, home and all community facilities. Second, every precaution should be made to control communicable dis- ease. Third, that all remedial defects be corrected as soon as observed. Fourth, that favorable environmental conditions at home and school be made available. Fifth, that the child be educated to understand the value of good health and the bodily functions that carry on and maintain healthful mental and physical activities.
The emotional attitude of youth must be considered and directed to an instructive and constructive. under-
115
standing of the numerous presentations of activities, helpful and otherwise. The more civilization progresses, the more necessary it becomes for all to acquire the ability to coordinate, effectively, the various opportunities help- ful to youth in regard to education, physical training and entertaining recreation. We all need a balanced program of work and play and it is a decided advantage to learn this fact early in life.
The Town of Hatfield cooperates splendidly with the school health program as shown in the detailed records given in this report. The parents and pupils seem inter- ested in maintaining the health of the school. The gen- eral health of the students was good during the year, several cases of mild form of whooping cough and colds were reported but no complications were involved. Four students were limited in the participation of the most active physical education program but all enjoyed the parts allowed to them. Three pupils are under the super- vision of the Federal Clinic and are improving. Two girls enjoyed the hospitatility of Health Camp Hodgkins for four weeks during the summer vacation. The personnel of Camp Hodgkins merits appreciation for the pleasure the girls derived while attending camp.

May the coming year prove as healthful as the passing 1947.

118
Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxations State House, Boston
Sir :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hat- field for the year ending December 31, 1947, and submit the following report thereon :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the departments colecting or disbursing money for the town or sending out bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined. The ledger accounts were analyzed, the re- corded receipts were compared with the town treasurer's record of receipts, and the recorded payments were com- pared with the approved treasury warrants. The ledger record of departmental accounts receivable was com- pared with the records of the departments sending out the bills and with the treasurer's record of colections. The apropriation ledger accounts were checked with the appropriations and transfers voted by the town as listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings, and a bal- ance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1947.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The expenditures were compared with the treasury war-
119
rants aproved by the board of selectmen, and the cash balance on January 21, 1948 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified by comparison with the treasurer's record of receipts. '
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked. The commitment lists of all taxes were added and proved with the assessors' warrants. The recorded collections were checked with the commit- ment lists, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding acc- ounts were listed and proved with the town accountant's ledger. The tax collector's cash on hand was proved by actual count.
The receipts of the town clerk for dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game and to the town treasurer were verified. The receipts for gasoline storage permit renewals issued by the town clerk were checked with the applications on file and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the town clerk, town treasurer, tax collector, and water collector were examined and found to be in proper form.
The recorded receipts for licenses and permits issued by the board of selectmen were checked with the record of licenses granted and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
120
The records of receipts from rentals of the town hall were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand on January 21, 1948 was proved by actual count.
The books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with the record of fees charged and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of accounts receivable of the health, highway, public welfare, school, and cemetery depart- ments were examined. The charges were added and compared with the commitments reported to the town accountant, the recorded collections and abatements were checked, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The recorded receipts of the school department from school lunches and the dental clinic were checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the water department were examined. The charges for the sale of water and water services were added and checked with the account- ant's books. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the recorded abate- ments were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding tax and water accounts were veri- fied by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the acc- ounts, as listed, are correct.
121
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental acc- ounts, as well as tables showing the transactions an cdon- dition of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation received from all town officials during the progres of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
