1. All coats belonging to the High School manual training classes were repaired by sewing classes at High School.


2. Screens made in the school shops were covered by High School sewing classes for the Health Department.


3. Ribbon ornaments and decorations for High School football games were voluntarily made.


4. A set of portieres for High School sewing room have been made.


5. Through the cooperation of the Junior High printing department recipes for cooking classes are being put into print.


6. Furniture contributed through the assistance of the town Com- munity Committee has been renovated and painted in the Junior High shops and will be arranged as a bedroom through this department.


7. Pupils have assisted with many special lunches for visitors and have entertained and served many visiting teams for the Athletic Association.


A plan for providing mid-morning lunches and special food for under- nourished pupils at the High School has been worked out and we trust that those needing this consideration will take advantage of the oppor- tunity which the lunch organization is offering.

I wish to extend my appreciation to the superintendent of schools, principals and the teachers in this department for their cooperation and interest.


Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Leonard W. Grant,


Superintendent of Schools, Norwood, Massachusetts.


Dear Mr. Grant:


I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of the Practical Arts Department for the year ending December 31, 1928.


Good progress has been made in the department during the past year. The main purpose in view has been to improve our courses of instruction. We have endeavored to give the students full advantage of the oppor- tunities offered to improve their desires, together with their ability to actually accomplish something of value, both to themselves and to the home. This in turn has brought to them the enjoyable hours they seek.


Education in Practical Arts is a big thing, and when limited to its present, accepted meaning in educational procedure, it stands for something that is definitely purposeful. Every boy whose natural aptitudes and future outlook in life warrant it, has been urged to take advantage of such Practical Arts classes as we have established and provided with opportunities that may suit his talents.


The increasing number of pupils electing the Practical Arts course has once again made a difficult problem to contend with. Our shop space at the present time is limited to classes not to exceed twenty-four (with the exception of Drafting). In some cases, classes are over this limit. The situation impairs the instructor's ability to cover his subject and to give instruction thoroughly. Our shop space needs enlargement in order to facilitate the growing need of the boys.


A "Safety Campaign" is to be conducted throughout the entire depart- ment the coming year. This is imperative, as increasing numbers are using the power machinery. Some risk is entailed in their operation, and safety precautions must be taken against carelessness of the boys. If we are to achieve freedom from accidents, certain rigid rules must be adhered to. Last year we had two accidents due to gross negligence of the boys. We have been fortunate in not having a real serious accident, and con- sidering the total number of boys using the machines, our casualty per- centage is very low.


288


Instruction in the elementary schools has been successful, due largely to the appointment of a full time instructor, and his ability to create a splendid interest among the boys. Projects were selected so that each tool in the shop had a definite purpose, and the correct handling was taught as they were introduced in the course. Fifth grade instruction was begun for the first time in September, and up to the present time has consisted of simple projects in plywood cut out with the coping saw.


Equipment for the sixth grade work is inadequate. Our present equip- ment confines work to projects of simplicity, such as toys, small articles, and models. The boy now needs something that is larger, something not a toy, but a project that requires coordinately the use of his brain and the skill of his hand. We are attempting a project that appeals to every boy, a model sailing yacht. To carry this project through successfully, each school needs good stable benches with vises attached. We are now without any method of holding projects during the various tool processes, and this is a serious handicap both to boy and instructor.


The Home Mechanics course for boys in the seventh grade was reor- ganized in September. While the idea of the course was not dropped en- tirely, it was found through a year's experience that it did not function properly. We have now undertaken a new plan, whereby we are to utilize the present equipment for use with projects constructed under the plan. The course is taught on a "semi-factory" basis. Every boy in the class has to perform practically every operation. Certain tools were pur- chased to simplify the harder operations to an extent that the boys' ability was reached without reducing his initiative. Blue prints with job sheets attached were given him in operation order. These told him what tools to use and how to use them. The project chosen was an "Electric Grill" made of aluminum. Twenty-five grills were made and every boy in the course was responsible for the construction of some one part. The plan has been successful.


During the past two years Mechanical Drawing in the ninth grade has been taught by a freehand drawing teacher. In September a regular drawing instructor was placed in charge of the work, which greatly in- creased the efficiency of the course.


All advanced printing was done with ninth grade classes. A tremendous amount of printed material was turned out for all the school requirements, as well as for individual needs. This year the "Argue-lot," a Junior High journal, consisting of four pages, has appeared every month, instead of twice a year as formerly. Much enthusiasm and interest was created in the editing of the paper. The paper was sold to the students for two cents a ัะพั€ัƒ.


The Composite shop maintained the standard of last year and carried on the same program of instruction with the four units composing the shop. Many practical and useful articles for use in the home were made. These consisted of radio tables, floor lamps, table lamps, dust pans and waste


289


baskets. Other projects for the school were the assembling of bleachers on the new athletic field, score board for football and markers for yards on the field. For the public works department, large stencils for safety pre- cautions in the streets were made. Many small tools were made in the machine shop, such as anvil paper weights, screw drivers, hammers, nail sets and tap wrenches.


The size of projects is limited due to lack of sufficient shop space for their assembling and finishing. All of the woodfinishing that was done had to be applied in the boiler room, the only space available for this type of work. This shop is in urgent need of additional room.


Advanced Mechanical Drawing was taught under the method used in previous years. All instruction was entirely individual, due to the mixed grouping of the classes. Correlation with the Composite shop was an im- portant feature. The boys' ideas were worked out in the drawing room, then blue printed, and from the prints the boys made the actual object they laid out on paper.


On May 19, 20 and 21, a large window display of projects completed in the department was shown to the public. This was the first exhibit ever held by this department, and it afforded the citizens of the Town an ex- cellent opportunity to see and know just what we are doing for the educa- tion of the youth in our department.


In conclusion I wish to thank you, the principals, the supervisors, and teachers, for their support and splendid cooperation during the ycar.


Very truly yours, CLIFFORD H. WHEELER, Supervisor of Practical Arts.


Mr. L. W. Grant,


Superintendent of Schools,


Norwood, Massachusetts.


My dear Mr. Grant:


In my report as Principal of the Norwood Evening School for the year ending December 31, 1928, I submit the following information:


The evening school opened on the night of October 8, with classes in Junior High studies, Mechanical Drawing, Cooking, Millinery, Dressmak- ing and Bookkeeping. Because of the small enrollment, the class in Millinery was dropped. Later in the year a class in Modern Merchandising was organized for the men and women who might be interested in a course of lectures fostered by the State Department of Education, Division of University Extension. A second group to organize later in the year was a class in Home Nursing.


290


At the present time the enrollment is eighty-two per cent of the original number that registered at the beginning of the year. This represents an increase of seven per cent over the number who remained in school last year.


The classes in Junior High, Mechanical Drawing and Bookkeeping are rather successful. The regularity of attendance in these groups proves that the trouble is not so much in holding the interest of the young people as it is in getting them to see the advantage in enrolling. In the Dress- making section the enrollment is large enough to maintain two classes. Cooking is a single unit, but it is the largest class in the school.


The attendance in Merchandising shows that there are possibilities in this field. Men and women are willing to use one night a week for lectures, providing they are of sufficient interest and value. There are no definite plans for next year, but the State Department has signified its desire to help in any possible way.


As is the case in nearly every evening school at the present time, Millinery has been discontinued for lack of interest. Some schools are to make an attempt to overcome this by making the course more general. They are planning to group millinery, embroidery, interior decoration, budgeting and other related subjects that will be of value to women.


In conclusion I wish to thank the teachers and your office force for the assistance they have given me.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND C. EASTWOOD, Principal of Evening School.


Mr. Leonard W. Grant,


Superintendent of Schools.


My dear Mr. Grant:


The following annual report is hereby submitted for your approval:


During the year just past we have followed the same general plan of procedure as in the past. Our outstanding work has been the teaching of English to the adult alien and rendering assistance to those preparing for American citizenship. A higher standard in citizenship will be brought about in Norwood in proportion to the progress that we can make in de- stroying illiteracy through adult education. Native born and newcomers should be working together to achieve better citizenship based on the funda- mentals of Americanism.


Our evening school classes in the Americanization department number eight with a total registration of 126. The interest in citizenship seems to be very keen. There are very few pupils in our classes who are not working with naturalization as their goal.


291


We have two classes for beginners in the Balch School which are rather unique. One class is for men and the other is for women. The members of these classes were wholly illiterate when they entered the school in October. In one of these classes the members have been in America for periods varying from nine to twenty-six years and they are now attending school for the first time in their lives. There are no pupils in the whole school who show more interest or joy in the advancement which they, themselves, can see that they are making. The teachers of these classes of adult illiterates must have patience, sympathy, and understanding. It is their privilege to make each school session an experience of fine living.


It is in our third year or citizenship classes where the pupils learn of our government, how it was originally built, how it has developed and the part all citizens play in it. We urge that they frankly express their criticisms of America; there is no other way for us to find out and explain away their doubts. And we find that in a school where seventeen nationalities mingle that there are doubts.


It is the business of the teacher in the citizenship class to explain, to dis- cuss, kindly, fairly and intelligently. She tries to show her students that our government can never rise higher than their level and that the only way America or any other free country can ever approach ideal political conditions is by building an active, loyal and intelligent citizenship.


We lay more stress on responsibility of citizenship than upon mere drilling upon facts. No teacher has a finer opportunity to serve her country than the teacher of the citizenship class!


Mr. E. C. Eastwood, of the Senior High School faculty, has been the evening school principal this year. He takes the place of Mr. J. Clifford Geer, resigned.


We believe most heartily in the home school for the foreign mother. The mother determines the kind of home and the health and happiness of the family. Many of the foreign mothers are reaching out for an under- standing of the language of their adopted country and each year sees an increasing number who are working to become naturalized.


Our mother's classes this year number seven with a total enrollment of 41 women. The youngest is 18 and the oldest is 62. Are the mothers in these adult classes becoming Americanized? Go into their homes for the answer. There is less swaddling of the limbs, better ventilation, less crowding of rooms, and more neighborliness.


In October a group of Finnish women came to us and asked that a class be formed in home nursing. Miss Vera H. Brooks, Supervisor of Health, is conducting the class under the requirements of the Red Cross and at the end of the twelve lesson course each woman will receive a certificate from the Red Cross.


"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is as true of the fifty-year- old school boy as of the ten-year-old. Now and then books are laid aside and we have a bit of sociability. We believe this is an important step in


292


the work we are trying to do, that is, to break down clannish tendencies, to remove distrust, and to give our students a broad, tolerant American viewpoint. I wish the American people of Norwood could have seen the happy spirit of play entered into by our classes at the Christmas party this year.


On March 22, 1928, we held our evening school graduation exercises in Everett Hall. These were well attended not only by friends of the students but by the American public. Diplomas were granted to 33 people who completed the prescribed course in citizenship. A program was presented in which seven nationalities took part. The address of the evening was given by Miss Mary L. Guyton, State Supervisor of Adult Alien Education.


The foregoing report shows a few things that we are doing to educate our foreign born population. Briefly, the following are our aims:


I. The ability to speak, read and write the English language.


II. A strong abiding interest in America.


III. To have pride in this, the new homeland.


IV. To understand American political and social conditions.


V. A determination on the part of the alien to become an active citizen of America and to acquire for his children the broader opportunities which this new land affords.


Respectfully submitted,


WILDA L. VOSE, Director of Adult Alien Education
