In the senior school there is chorus practice for the entire school once each week. This practice began just before Thanksgiving. There is no chance for intensive study with so large a chorus. The music therefore, cannot be put upon a basis of educational progress, but must be cast upon very general lines.
The only chance for intensive work is offered by the Glee Club. The number of students who can elect Glee Club is limited by conflicts with other studies. Probably seventy-five will find it practical to take this work. At the present writing there has been one recitation by the Glee Club. It is proposed that it recite once a week.
The orchestra has one period of practice during school hours. The other practice is held in the evening. While this arrangement is more convenient to some, it is often inconvenient to all, and therefore requires personal sacrifice from its supporters.
In spite of the limitations I have mentioned, the ninth grade and senior choruses are doing better work compared to that of last year. The or- chestra is improving. The Glee Clubs are just starting.
I trust that in the near future the various music activities of the upper schools can be put upon an adequate time basis and can function from September to June on a par with other activities. When that time comes there will be possible a continuous growth. Until it comes the results must perforce be fragmentary.
Yours very truly,
ADELBERT H. MORSE.
Mr. Herbert H. Howes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwood, Massachusetts.
I herewith submit my fourth annual report as Supervisor of Drawing in the Norwoo. Schools for the year ending December 31, 1924.
The supervisor has had the general oversight and planning of the whole art course, but has confined her actual teaching to Grades 1-7, visiting Grades 1, 2 and 3 once in three weeks, Grades 4, 5 and 6 once in two weeks and Grade 7 every week. With a large increase in the number of pupils electing Freehand Drawing in the High School, it was found necessary to have an assistant there for two days, Mrs. Ethel H. Cook filling this posi- tion. The Grade 8 Drawing has been ably carried on by Miss Bradford, as last year.
For a synopsis of the course in High School, I would refer you to last year's report. As a finish of the year's work last spring, "tied and dyed" scarfs were inade and stencilled cushions, table-runners, scarfs and cur- tains were designed and executed, the girls buying their own materials for these.

As in other years, poster-making has continued to be a practical and interesting problem. The best "Health" posters made in Grade 6 were shown for one week in three drug-store windows. At the end of that time, a number of the best were sent to a State Health poster contest, one of them receiving a second prize. In Grade 7 "Kindness of Animal" posters were made as before, also "Shop Early" posters, which were displayed by Norwood merchants just before Christmas.
In September, a small exhibition of drawing from Grades 1-8 was on view in the Public Library and later sent to Japan as a slight appreciation of the wonderful drawings made by Japanese children which were shown in the library some months before.
An article by James Parton Haney in the Saturday Evening Post ex- presses so well what our aims in our Drawing course are, that I will quote a few words from it in closing. "The art training of the public schools should be a practical training touching closely the needs of the community; it should aim to cultivate taste and apply that taste to the homes, the dress and the business of those it trains. Art is not for "the few." It is for "the many," for "the many" have to use it. It is not held that the training of the public schools will produce artists, but it is held that it will raise the standard of taste throughout the community."
At this time I would like to express my appreciation of the cooperation and interest of the teachers, principals and superintendent.
Respectfully submitted, HÉLEN L. ARNOLD,
Supervisor of Drawing.

M. H. H. Howes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Norwood, Mass.
My dear Mr. Howes:
The High School division of the Evening School was organized Octo- ber 14. Up to the evening of January 20 the total registration had been 228, a loss of 69 from the registration of last year. The loss in the English language division was 16, and is accounted for by the organization of the school in the Balch district. The rest of the loss has been in the practical arts classes, woodworking, mechanical drawing, and civil service, which classes were not organized this year. The registration was distributed as follows:
English Language 112
Practical Arts:
Dressmaking 40
Millinery 29
Cooking. 16
Typewriting. 31
249
The school is employing ten teachers-five in the English classes, four in practical arts, and one in the typewriting and bookkeeping.
This year the English Language classes have been placed under state supervision, the average number per class being 24. This work has been under the immediate supervision of Miss Vose, who was this year made Supervisor of Alien Education in Norwood. Under the state supervision the work has been conducted more systematically and with better under- standing of the needs of these people, and will for this reason show better results.
The attendance up to the Christmas holidays was excellent in all de- partments, but is showing a little more than the usual falling off since that time. This is due to the many other evening attractions in town, partly to the fact that many of the pupils enrolled must work evenings part of the time, but too much to loss of interest in the classes. This is to be re- gretted, because pupils are losing an opportunity for efficient instruction in the subjects desired.
Aside from the English classes, where the attendance is to some extent compulsory, it would seem that there is no great demand in town for these classes. In no subjects outside practical arts and typewriting were there a sufficient number of registrations to warrant the formation of a class and the employment of a teacher-two or three in Spanish, one in Latin, seven for the grammar school subjects, one or two in algebra. And with those who did register and enter the attendance has fallen nearly 50%.
The English Language classes, however, are well worth while. The instruction is splendid, interest high, and the pupils eager to learn.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE W. ALLEN, Principal.
Mr. Herbert H. Howes,
Superintendent of Schools, Norwood, Mass.
My dear Mr. Howes:
I began my work as Director of Adult Alien Education on September 9, 1924. The work has been organized conforming with the specifications of the State Board of Education, Department of Americanization.
The general work of recruiting classes was carried on by means of posters, in both the English and foreign languages, English and foreign language press, foreign clubs, the clergy, letters to foreign parents by school children and by personal solicitation. The splendid cooperation on the part of the day school principals has been a great assistance in this work.
In connection with the work of recruiting, a questionnaire was sent through the school children to the parents who were foreign born. To question, "Would you attend evening school if one were opened in your district?" we received answers from 310 people (187 men and 123 women). Of this number 35% of the men and 31% of the women expressed a desire
250
to attend school. We find by actual count that 15% of the men and 23% of the women have enrolled in the evening school classes.
The organization consists of a director and ten teachers. The member- ship of 250 students includes nineteen nationalities; Finnish, Lithuanian, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Hebrew, German, Irish, Argentine, Portuguese, Syrian, Danish, British, Greek, Turkish, Polish, Roumanian, Austrian, and Norwegian. Many are well educated in their native tongue. Very few are illiterate in their own language. There are many illiterate among the foreign-born in Norwood, but we have not yet rcached them. That is one of our great problems in the future.
We have five classes for the adult foreign born in the High School and five in the Balch School. These classes meet three evenings a week. The Balch School has been opened for the first time this year to the adult population of that district. The total number of pupils who have en- rolled in classes at the High School is 116 and at the Balch School 114.
There are three Mothers' Classes all in the Winslow district. Two of these classes are made up of Finnish women and the third of Jewish women. The total number of women in these classes is 20. They meet twice each week for one hour a day. Two of the classes are held at the Winslow School and the other meets at 12 Savin avenue at the home of one of the members. These classes are taught by the director.
When the classes closed for the Christmas holiday we found that our membership was 76% of the total enrollment. The largest single factor in obtaining good attendance is good teaching. The teachers in the classes for the foreign born in Norwood are doing their work faithfully and are deeply interested in this kind of work. Working on night shifts has prevented many of the men from attending regularly.
The aim of education for the foreign born is primarily to provide oppor- tunity to learn to speak, read and write English. But to those who avail themselves of these opportunities it has a wider significance. It is here that they may gain an acquaintance with the life, customs and ideals of the American people. A number of our men and women have taken out their first papers signifying their desire to become American citizens.
A Teacher Training Course in Americanization is being conducted by the Division of University Extension, State Board of Education. This class meets each Wednesday at the High School with Miss Mary L. Guy- ton, Assistant Director of Adult Alien Education, in charge. Thirty-nine of the Norwood teachers are taking this course.
Education for the foreign born as organized in Norwood is so new that it is natural for people to ask what it is all about. One of the pleasant things about my work has been the kindly spirit of co-operation on the part of individuals and societies as soon as the work was understood. Three organizations have asked that the work be explained to their mem- bers.
This special feature of adult education has a big future in Norwood. We have a large foreign population and the work that has been begun this year is a mere scratch upon the surface. It is no easy task to break the wall of restraint and lack of understanding which keeps a community
251
separated by language barriers. It requires tact and patience to make the foreign people believe that Norwood is anxious to help them to under- stand our language and ways. We welcome the sympathetic support and co-operation of the whole community-for this is a community affair.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the teachers of the Americanization classes for their loyal co-operation, to thank the princi- pals of the day schools for their splendid spirit of helpfulness to me in this work and to thank Mr. Howes for his support and helpful advice
Respectfully submitted,
WILDA L. VOSE, Director of Adult Alien Education.
