Nothing can be made by hand without some thought of the object's use, its size, proportions, color, and decoration, if needed. That these ideas may be made more clear to chil- dren specific things, in which they are instructed or in- terested are selected for them to create.


In this execution are applied the principles that underlie all good instruction. By this means honest work is developed and at the same time an appreciation of art and handicraft.


The material used in the construction work in the Way- land School has been that which can be easily handled by children, paper and cardboard. In some grades with these have been used the book binders' linen in the forming of covers for written work. Some very creditable work has been done in basketry by the boys of the seventh grade in Cochituate. This work is carried on while the girls are re- ceiving their instruction in sewing.


Thus far simple reed mats and baskets have been made that the boys may understand the principles of weaving and

the limitations of the material. It is interesting work for children, can be easily learned, and gives an opportunity for original expression.


The general work in drawing, known as the pictorial phase is similar to that of the previous year, it being the aim to adapt the work to the needs of the children in the different grades, keeping in mind that a child is a constantly changing individual.


With the lengthening of the session in the High School longer periods are given for the work in drawing, a very satisfactory arrangement. I would suggest that to the course in drawing be added a branch in metal work, this giving a direct opportunity for applying principles of design, of pro- ducing a useful and attractive result and learning concerning the work of craftsmen in metal.


I wish to thank the superintendent and committee for their encouragement during the year and to extend to the teachers my appreciation of their sincere efforts.


Respectfully submitted,


MARY J. STICKNEY.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.


The following is submitted as my annual report of the work in music:


Music, as is shown by the report of the State Board of Education, is no longer considered a subject which is purely ornamental, but rather one which holds an important place in. the curriculum of the schools of the State.


That it holds an important place in our schools is shown by work that is done in all our schools, including the high school. Music plays are used in our first and second grades. Among them may be mentioned: All for Baby, The Pigs,. The Mice, The Squirrel, Santa Claus, etc. These have to do with singing and listening to music, with rhythmical movements, motion songs and finger plays.


Much is made of the rote songs in the first three years- of the child's school life. In the intermediate and grammar grades the plan of work is much the same as last year. The- pupils have gained confidence in themselves under the indi- vidual system, thus bringing the class work to a higher stan- dard. The pupils of the high school are now able to take up new choruses with greater ease than formerly, and they also get a great deal of enjoyment out of them.


Owing to the small number of pupils in the high school all are expected to take the subject, whether they have a natural bent for it or not.


In large high schools the supervisor selects the best talent only for his chorus work, and if any pupil shows in- difference to the subject he is immediately dropped from the-


30

class. In our small high school, however, we are obliged to take all the pupils into the chorus work whether they have talent or not. We have been able, however, to take choruses that are sung in city high schools, and when finished, as the results of last June showed, have been creditably done. Respectfully submitted,


AGNES E. BOLAND.

REPORT OF THE INSTRUCTOR OF MANUAL TRAINING.


The pupils in this department have shown from the first a lively appreciation of the privilege of this instruction, by close attention to duty and apparent desire to execute good work.


For pupils beginning the work only last September, the results are most gratifying. Although it is what the pupil gets from making the model and not the model itself which is of prime importance, yet the concrete result of his labor is indicative of the amount of interest and pride he feels in performing a task to the best of his ability, and love of good work and a desire to give only of one's best are high among those things which manual training seeks to implant in the growing boy or girl.


Carefulness, accuracy and neatness, with ability to plan are necessary to the accomplishment of a high standard of work, and while no revolution in the character of a child may be effected in the limited time given to this work, it is im- possible for him to produce a finished model by the exercise of his highest efforts and receive no lasting benefit there- from.


A gain is apparent in many of the pupils and the instructor in view of their present enthusiastic attitude looks for yet greater things.


Respectfully submitted,


PHILIP E. PERRY.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.


To the Superintendent of Schools :-


I herewith submit the following report as School Phy- sician. A careful examination of the pupils in the public schools is being made. Up to the present writing (Feb. 28, 1908) 226 pupils have been examined. This includes the entire High School, 59 pupils, the balance being from the grades in Cochituate and Wayland. When conditions are found on examination which require reporting, the informa- tion is sent to parents or guardians on the blanks provided by the State. The result up to date is shown in the following tables :

The routine eye and ear tests (sight and hearing) are made by the teachers as provided by law.


The total of conditions reported exceeds that of pupils reported because several conditions needing report are often found in the person of one pupil.


Attention is drawn to the cases of Pediculosis capitis. The school physician hopes that parents and guardians will realize that this condition ("nits") is a very frequent one in public schools and other like places of assemblage. The most careful individuals run the risk of becoming affected with it in such cases. As has been said, "No person should be blamed for having lice,-only for keeping them." One pupil in a school is liable to infect many others; therefore, it is very important that the schools be freed from these cases. Parents and guardians are earnestly requested to co- operate, seeing to it that any child in their charge who is found to have the infection be immediately given adequate treatment and the condition be promptly removed.


34


School Physician.


Beside the routine examination of pupils the school agnosis as follows :


physician has been called upon to examine a few cases for di- Dec., 1907, Ulcerated tooth.


Jan. 20, 1908, Pediculosis capitis.


Jan. 27, 1908, Mumps.


It may here be stated that the function of the school physician is simply that of an examiner. His duties in con- nection with the school. do not include treatment of cases.


In conclusion attention is called to the urgent need of sanitary privies at Cochituate. The question of proper light- ing of the school rooms there also demands immediate at- tention, as well as the well recognized need of adjustable school desks and chairs.
