In behalf of the boys and myself, I thank the citizens of Norwood for their loyal support in all our athletics. I also wish to express my ap- preciation to the Norwood Board of Trade for the reception given to the members of the Clifton and Norwood football teams on the evening of December 1, 1923.

The following is the report of the work in Physical Education for the year ending December 31, 1923.
The general outline of the work assigned to the primary and intermediate grades remained the same as last year. In the primary grades where the curriculum consists of rhythmic action plays and games, the classrooms have been found rather crowded for the work so the playrooms in the different buildings have been used as much as possible. The more formal gymnastic work of the intermediate grades which consists of marching, calisthenics, and games is carried on in the classrooms.
In the Junior High all seventh grade work is conducted in the classroom with pupil leadership. The girls of the eighth and ninth grades have their physical training in the gymnasium. Before being allowed to take gym- nasium work all pupils are required to undergo a physical examination by the school physicians. It has been found that only seven per cent of the girls were not physically able to take first class work. These were put into second class where the work was less strenuous. In the report of last year it was mentioned that large classes caused a slight handicap. This year, however, since both Everett Hall and the gymnasium were used, the number of pupils in each class was greatly decreased.
The Senior High classes are conducted on the same plan as last year. It was noticeable that the physical condition of a great number of the girls who were in the second class during their Junior High course became so much improved that they were put into first class when they reached Senior High. In addition to the compulsory program, an elective course in folk dancing was organized this year and about fifty girls have joined the class.
Both the ninth grade and Senior High girls participated in basket ball. The ninth grade girls were simply schooled in the rudiments of the game. The Senior High girls played a schedule of eight games with outside teams.
242
The girls showed a great deal of interest in track last spring and we expect to do more in this sport this year.
More time should be allotted in the physical education program to special corrective classes. I had hoped to be able to form special posture classes in the different schools. Thus far, however, I have only been able to attend to a few of the individual cases which demanded immediate at- tention.

The Schick test for diphtheria has been given in all the schools with the exception of the High School.
Of the 930 children who have had the test, 675 were positive and 255 were negative cases.
Of the 34 pre-school children tested, 26 were positive and 8 negative cases.
Of the 81 children Re-Schicked to date, 7 were positive and 74 negative.
Every child who has had a positive Schick test and has been immunized should also have a second Schick test in order to know whether or not the three doses of toxin-anti-toxin were enough to render him immune.
Early in the year we were fortunate in having two young women from the New England Dairy and Food Council, who gave health talks to all the school children below the 8th grades. We know that the children enjoyed the lantern slides and the fairies, and we think that the stories helped to make health popular.
For the School Milk Fund we are indebted to the efforts and help of the Woman's Club and the several organizations in the town who have con- tributed generously to this good cause. This fund enables us to give milk to the 10% underweight children who cannot buy it.
Of the 50 children examined by Dr. Schorer of the State Hospital in Foxboro, 22 were re-examinations and 28 were new cases.
Of the 22, 19 were recommended to continue in their grades, 2 to con- tinue in the special class and one to return to a grade from the special class.
Of the 28 new cases, 3 were recommended for the special class, 24 were to remain in their grades, 2 were not retarded, one was recommended for in- stitutional care and 9 were to be examined again.
We find in weighing and measuring the children, that very many are 10% or more underweight. Therefore we very much advocate nutrition work for these cases and a thorough chest examination, if possible, by the Norfolk County Public Health Association, which holds similar clinics in towns throughout the state.
Also we would like, another year, to have our Ist graders, at least, have a more complete physical examination, done either in school by the school doctors with mothers present, or at home by their family physicians.
244
The inspections of the children show a deplorable condition of teeth. We estimate that fully 2,220 children need dental attention. Approxi- mately 385 children were treated at the dental clinic during the past year, leaving perhaps 400, only, who do not require dental treatment at all, or who are receiving it elsewhere. In order to take care of the 75% who need treatment, Norwood must have a full-time dentist or a hygienist.
Due to Dr. Wing's foundation in the dental clinic, we feel that with en- larged facilities Norwood will some day be proud of its children's teeth.
In the eye clinic we find that the proportion of children who need treat- ment is smaller and the facilities for taking care of the cases are adequate. Not all the children who need help can be persuaded to accept it, however. We very much appreciate Dr. Riemer's work in the clinic.
Again we extend our thanks to the school doctors who have given so generously of their time throughout the year.
To Mr. Howes, the principals and teachers and to many others who have helped us, we wish to extend our appreciation of their cooperation and interest.

Mr. H. H. Howes,
Superintendent of Schools, Norwood, Mass.
My dear Mr. Howes:
The first year activities of a supervisor in any school system must be largely a series of adjustments. He must acquaint himself with his ma- terial. He must build upon foundations which he did not lay. He must decide how well these will support the structure he proposes to erect. When and where to alter these to suit his plan. He must familiarize himself with the personalities of his teaching staff and learn how to adapt their varying reactions and his own individuality to mutual understanding and effectiveness. This takes time and he must be patient of results.
Although readjustment has been in progress for only five months, I think I can see tendencies toward the realization of some of my ideals which are most encouraging. I find an enthusiasm and cordiality from both teachers and pupils which it is a pleasure to acknowledge. There is readiness to look at old problems from new viewpoints; to replace old methods with new experiments; to venture into fields never before at- tempted; and hearty appreciation of results gained.
245
I have introduced the phonograph as a medium for teaching the rote song in the first and second grades, and ad. lib. in the third grade. The results have been most interesting, and in some cases remarkable.
Sight singing activities have been started in the second grades. In the third grades the song material is being developed through the child's power to read music from the printed page. The progress in the third and fourth grades is particularly marked and satisfactory. The fifth and sixth grades have been harder to adjust to more advanced technical re- quirements and new methods of procedure. But the experiment is be- ginning to stabilize, and again, in particular cases, fine results are forth- coming.
The work in the Junior and Senior High Schools has been handicapped by the congestion of program which can only be relieved by the new building. The Glee Clubs are but now starting practice. The orchestra lias been under way for a month and a half. The choruses have had weekly practice a much longer time. I am trying to arouse a genuine enthusiasm for singing in these choruses, and am using the community chorus idea to do this rather than by attempting the detailed and finished work required of a choral scoiety. I hope to accomplish something in the latter line with the Glee Clubs. The seventh and eighth grades are doing good work under capable instructors, and will prove an asset to next year's chorus.
Looking ahead a bit, there should be in the High School a military band as well as an orchestra. The Junior High should have similar organiza- tions. Neither orchestra or band can be properly developed and con- tinued under the hit or miss plan of recruiting from those students taking private instrumental instruction. There is too limited a choice of in- struments, and too limited a number studying. Those instruments which are not rated as solo instruments, but are essential to the ensemble of orchestra or band, are expensive to buy, and are seldom chosen because they do not "play the tune." These should be owned by the school, and loaned to the pupil upon his bond. Instruction should be available in classes at a minimum of expense to the individual student, and at a sufficient remuncration to the instructor to attract a thoroughly competent one. I intend to make a special study of this problem at the Eastern Super- visors' Conference in Rochester, N. Y., where instrumental school music has been developed to a high degree of efficiency. Credit should be offered by the High School for outside study of music on the following basis. Re- quired of the applicant : Six hours' practice and one lesson of an instructor each week during the school year, certified to by parent and instructor. Examination twice a year upon material studied, the required standards being outlined to the instructor by the examiner at the beginning of the year. Credit, the same as for a six-hour recitation subject taught in school.
It is my opinion that all High School music should be elective, with
-1
246
credit offered on the basis of recitation. Chorus should have two periods a week. Glee Clubs should have one period and required Chorus, Or- chestra and Band two periods. There should be electives in voice training, music appreciation and harmony (or theory) for those who have special ability and those electing Glee Club, Orchestra or Band.

The following is the report of the Drawing Department for the year ending December 31, 1923.
There has been very little change in the Drawing course in all grades, the teachers following typewritten outlines given to them each month. The work has been more uniform since September, since the supervisor has visited all Grade I-IV rooms and the assistant, Miss Leonora Bradford, has had charge of the Junior High grades. She has supervised in Grade VII and taught all drawing lessons in Grade VIII.
Considerable improvement has been shown in the Grade VIII work. All the drawing has been done in one room, which has obviated the necessity of carrying materials from one room to another, as formerly. The drawing was correlated for several weeks with the geography in the study of Japan and this proved especially interesting. A short course in foush or tening and perspective is soon to be given.
Poster work has proved to be a practical problem in many grades. A poster serves a double purpose. It attracts the attention of the observer by its attractive coloring or decoration and by brief slogans or statements impresses certain facts upon the minds of the observer and the maker of the poster. In several grades these took the form of Health posters. In Grade VI each pupil planned his own slogan and picture, a few planning the best being allowed to make large ones for the school nurses, to be hung in their offices or the corridors of the school. In Grades VII and IX "Kindness to Animals" posters were made, several of them being sliown in the Boston Fublic Library last April. In Grade VII, "Shop Early" Christinas posters and some emphasizing the need of a new school building were made. In the Senior High, the posters advertised the various school activities and plays, as well as several affairs held outside the school for charitable purposes.
The High School drawing course has included nature.work in pastel and water color, the designing of monograms, Christmas gifts decorated with enamel paints, curtain pulls, parchment lamp shades, charcoal light and
.
247
shade, pastel and wax crayon landscapes on canvas resembling oil paint- ints, etc. A very convenient cabinet, with locked drawers and shelves and spaces for each pupil to keep his own drawing board and portfolio, is being constructed by the Manual Training Department. This will add much to the efficiency and convenience of the Drawing Department as a whole. Grade VI classes this year are better able to measure accurately and quickly than before. This is perhaps due to the cardboard construction which the boys received last year while the girls were sewing. Practically the same course in this work has been followed. Objects made after last year's report was written included memorandum pads, picture puzzles on cardboard, with a case in which to keep them and folding checkerboards with checkers made of painted wooden button-molds.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation of the interest and coopera- tion of the teachers, principals and superintendent.

Mr. Herbert H. Howes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwood, Massachusetts.
The Evening School was organized October 8th. Up to February 1st the total number of registrations was 297-an increase of nine over last year's registration, distributed as follows:
Citizenship 8
English Language. 126
Civil Service
15
Practical Arts 90
Typewriting . 32
Woodworking. 17
Mechanical Drawing 9
The School has employed twelve teachers. The heaviest enrollment was as usual in the English Language classes; of the total number registered, seventy-six were minors, an unusually large percentage of the whole.
Up to the Christmas intermission the attendance was extremely good; but since that time has fallen off very badly. The chief reason seems to be that there are too many outside attractions that members prefer. The typewriting class, which at the end of October had an en- rollment of thirty-two, had dwindled by this time to eleven faithful ones who took it seriously enough to want to stay and make something of it.

248
If numbers are to be made the criterion for establishing classes and bearing the expense of keeping them in existence, some of these courses should never be offered. For, however good the initial enrollment, there never seems to be interest enough to keep them going the full time, and year after year they are opened only to be discontinued about the middle of the Evening School term.
In the case of the Mechanical Drawing class, I should recommend the idea back of this be changed. I do not think that what these men want is to learn to make drawings, but to learn to read one that some one else has made. Many of them arc mechanics who frequently are called upon to build according to a drawing or plan which is put into their hands. And what they need is not so much the ability to make a drawing as the ability to work from such a drawing. Change the course, therefore, to reading blue prints and plans, rather than the making of blue prints and plans. The State has such a course, and possibly it might fit the needs here rather than what we have.
We have had a Cooking class this winter in addition to the other practical arts classes. The enrollment in this class has been twenty-four. These three groups, Cooking, Dressmaking and Millinery, have been under State supervision. The inspector from the Department has visited the School, and expressed her approval of conditions as she found them. Aside from the work in the English Language classes, the three have been the most successful of the winter.
