REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.


Mr. Austin H. Fittz, Superintendent of Schools:


The underlying purpose of art education in our elementary schools is not to create artists, but to cultivate a sense of appre- ciation of beauty in every form; to help the children to see nature and the best in their daily surroundings; and to train the hand to execute what the mind conceives. "The purpose of art teaching in the schools, then, is the education of the whole people for appreciation."


Education in art is especially valuable as a means of enrich- ing the home life. Good taste has an economic value in choos- ing wisely for the home. As we appreciate more and more the value of harmonious form and good color, we turn from the modern shop to the peasant handiwork, or to the simple styles of former days. The very kitchen utensils of Russia, Holland, Italy, and Japan are valued for beauty of form and color. Much of the finest work of the East was made for the home. Our art training must be something that will help in the home, in selecting furniture, in deciding upon color schemes, in executing any work where skill and jugdment are demanded.


In our elementary schools only the rudiments of art can be taught, such as the beginnings of free-hand drawing, simple forms of construction work and problems in design, especially as related to common things; and an awakening of some response to beauty in nature and art. Work on these lines, however, has proved to be of genuine value even when instruction ends in the elementary schools. Drawing is a language, a means of reproducing ideas and as such is a means of forming and de- veloping these ideas. The regular work in drawing in our ele- mentary schools involves the continuous use of lines, of light and dark, and of color, and gives the children constant prac-


321


tice in expressing their ideas and observations by means of the same vocabulary the artist himself employs.


The drawing should be correlated as closely as possible with all the other school work. The general appearance of written work, map drawing, arrangement of plants and flowers, framing and hanging of pictures, designs in sewing, pleasing forms in construction work, arrangement of drawings and reference material are among the opportunities available for developing a sense of order and fitness which is an important part of good taste.


Our courses are planned for the majority of the children, and are within easy reach of those of ordinary ability. While any public school system should take account of special talent and encourage it, yet in the elementary grades the work should be planned on such general grounds as will be valuable for all, whatever their future may be. The outlines should be such as can be taught in large part by the grade teacher, and can be done by as large a proportion of the pupils as can accomplish the other school work. Results have already shown that the majority of children can learn to draw sufficiently well, for purposes of ordinary expression, with pencil and brush, and can be led to appreciate what is in good taste, as readily and gener- ally as they can progress in other studies.


Respectfully submitted,


BESSIE M. PARKER, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP


Mr. Austin H. Fittz, Superintendent of Schools:


It was stated in the report of last year that the most efficient way a supervisor can reach the pupils is through the room teacher and that an effort to reach each teacher was being made. It follows that a statement of the results of that effort will give definite indication of the progress during the past year. Eigh- teen of the teachers reached the required standard for a certifi- cate of proficiency from Mr. Zaner, the author of the system of writing which is being taught. Their work was conducted at the High School on Monday of each week at 4 p. m. Of this number eleven were teachers of the grammar grades, and seven were of the first four grades.


This year it was thought best to require those of the primary grades, who had not been certified, to continue work by becom- ing more skilful at the blackboard; for it is at the blackboard that the opportunity exists for the large free arm movement best adapted to childhood. Upper grade teachers were to continue practice on paper until the standard was reached. Thus, this year's work opened with a class of twenty teachers for blackboard work and a class of ten for work on paper. As the work now stands all teachers will meet the requirements for blackboard practice by the first or middle of March, while out of the class of ten, five have already completed their work.


The prospect is that the need of a supervisor of penmanship will not be so great another year because a supervisor will no longer be needed as an instructor. The work of a supervisor next year will be more largely that of directing the work and maintaining uniform high standards, interest, and enthusiasm. The work is not finished by any means but the advance made is gratifying and much evidence of the desired product is seen;


323


namely, the free, easy style of handwriting which will be a useful as well as an enjoyable life companion for the pupils who are trained in the Norwood schools.


Respectfully submitted, LENA F. NEALL, Supervisor of Penmanship.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.


Mr. Austin H. Fittz, Superintendent of Schools:


There has been less contagious disease in the schools the past year than during the previous one which of course means a much healthier condition in the town, and is no doubt due to the supervision of scholars by the school nurse and physician.


The new school buildings which are opened from time to time help materially to lessen sickness owning to better sanitary arrangements and improved ventilation, and I think we can fairly expect a constant improvement in the health of the schol- ars so long as the present or improved methods are followed.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR S. HARTWELL, M. D.


School Physician.
