I hope the time is not far distant when the town will fur- nish a Victrola or some other music producing machine. Imagine the benefit to be derived from children listening to the music of Beethoven, Mozart and the other great com- posers, and the singing of great artists.
All children are susceptible to influences around them and if properly directed a child will acquire a taste for good music by hearing good music the same as he acquires a taste for good literature by reading good books. Man's spiritual well being should be considered as well as his physical. Were this not so we would become but little better than the beasts. Once the children know and appreciate good things in music nothing else will really satisfy them.
One part of our work consists of learning the Folk Songs, the Patriotic Songs and a few standard hymns. These the children love.
I think it is essential that the day in each room should be started with singing, and I would suggest that each teach- er arrange her program the coming year so this may be So.
In my opinion nothing can take the place of a song to start the day right. Great progress has been made in the singing of songs at once with the words. Of course there must be a thorough preparation in both time and tune, a constant daily drill so that the eye can at once grasp the musical thought as quickly as the poetical.
The public performances of the High and Grammar Schools at graduation speak for themselves, and I person- ally am much pleased with the hearty co-operation of both pupils and teachers.

There remains much that we would like to do before we can feel satisfied and we trust that each year we may feel that we are reaching that much desired goal-Perfection.
Thanking you and the School Committee for hearty co- coperation, I am,
Yours truly, MARTHA C. TISDALE, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
Mr. Ira Jenkins, Superintendent of Schools, Plainville, Mass. :
Dear Sir : After a two years' trial, the plan of giving one- half my time as supervisor of drawing to work in the High School has proven its value; the work here needs four dif- ferent classes, all of which must be carried on at different times, on account of lack of rooms. There are always those who choose free hand drawing, others wish mechanical and the class in metal work has shown its value as a preparation for the more advanced work in jewelry, these two latter classes have shown unusual interest in the work this year, coming back for afternoon sessions.
Several have asked me about the work in jewelry making, its value, etc., and this seems a fitting place to explain just what this training is supposed to do. It is not expected that working forty minutes once a week for less than forty weeks will fit a boy to be a shop foreman or a head designer, but it will give him a knowledge of the simple processes of sawing, tooling, soldering and stone setting, familiarity with the tools used in the factories, the metals and kinds

ANNUAL REPORT.
of stones, a little practical designing and something of what constitutes good taste in jewelry; then, too, it gives a chance for a boy to find out if he has any special ability, which should later be developed along some special line.
In fact, it is a link between the school and the industry of the town, which will gain in scope if it is a step in the right direction.
It is a satisfaction to work with the same children year after year and to see the gradual gain in perception and manual skill; there has never been a child who did not show great improvement before he had finished the grades, no matter how little his natural ability at the start. The facts which lie behind this are most important, and we may expect in a few generations to be a people with natural manual skill, a fine sense of proportion and good taste.
The plan of teaching object drawing by memorizing the type of solids in their different positions, then putting all objects into one of these groups of types and drawing from memory, has proved most stimulating to the imagination and observation.
We have had several gifts of tools and materials for jew- elry work in the last year for which the class wish to ex- press thanks and to ask that others may remember us in the future.
In my long continued support I wish to express my ap- preciation.
Respectfully submitted, MABEL BRIGHAM,

ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF SPECIAL TEACHER AND SUPER- VISOR OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Superintendent Ira A. Jenkins, Plainville, Mass. :
Dear Sir: The results in the industrial department have shown marked progress and have given much satisfaction when compared with the same kind of work done in other schools. Every pupil, from the third grade through the eighth, devotes one hour each week in some kind of manual work-basketry, whittling, woodworking, weaving or sew- ing. The youngest girls learn to sew with crewel needles and worsted on burlap. The stitches are not made on sam- ples, but on cloth which is converted into something useful, like needle books, mats and book bags. Weaving dolls' hats, toques, bags and hammocks is so fascinating to both the girls and boys that they always want to make several if there is enough material. Raffia baskets, sofa pillows, reed bas- kets and serving trays have also been made by both girls and boys. In June the girls of grades three and four com- pleted a patchwork quilt. The blocks were sewed by hand and then stitched together on the machine. These children net one Saturday afternoon and tied the quilt, so that it was all their own work.
In the upper grades sewing includes cutting and making of underwear, kimonos, and dresses, embroidery and fancy stitches. The use of the sewing machine has been intro- duced into the fifth and sixth: grades and it is planned that all the girls above the fourth year will have had lessons in machine stitching. But good hand work is required first.
Sewing in the High School is limited to one forty min- ute period a week, so that much home work is necessary to cover the required course. Sewing done under the direct supervision of the instructor is usually better than that done by the pupil at home. Therefore, I hope that next year more time can be allowed for this subject.
27
ANNUAL REPORT.
There are over fifty boys in the wood-working classes. Each class meets one hour a week. Preliminary to the course in grade six, whittling is taught and it is proving very practical as the material can be obtained for nothing and the necessary tools are very smple. The boys have already made paper knives, plant labels, thread and yarn winders. The following are some of the projects made in the grammar classes: key rack, hat rack, knife polishing box, nail box, foot stool, doll's hammock house, pencil holders, clothes winders, book rack, frames, serving tray, chair.
For the first time wood-working has been put on the High School program. As the result a class of twelve boys take carpentry every Friday between eleven and one o'clock. They enter into their work with interest and enthusiasm, attaining creditable results.
There are two classes in cooking-Elementary and ad- vanced. The following is a brief outline of the course. The arrangement of the lesson is planned to make the course interesting and practical, with enough science to teach ac- curacy and give self-reliance to the pupil.

Visitors are always welcome and I cordially invite all who are interested to visit and inspect our work. Much work is done outside of class by both teacher and pupils.
With some new equipment and a better program, the past year's work has surpassed that of previous years.
The teachers, superintendent, and school committee have been very helpful, for which I wish to express my appre- ciation.
Very truly yours, JENNIE ST. CLAIRE DICKSON,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Mr. Ira A. Jenkins, Superintendent of Schools, Plainville, Mass. :
Dear Sir : I herein submit my report as school physician. Except for an outbreak of mumps the latter part of the

fall term, the health of the school body has been good. While the cases involved were mild, yet the children un- protected by a previous attack were many, and in con- sequence a number were excluded from the schools owing to an attack of the disease, or because of exposure to the same. The winter term should open with all or nearly all of the children able to return to their school duties, and the attendance, interfered with by the outbreak of the disease, ought to be better maintained.
regarding school regulations in contagious diseases. I rec-
There is much misunderstanding on the part of parents ommend, therefore, that the Board of Health, in co-opera- tion with the school physician, draw up all regulations need- ed to cover these cases, and the town publish the same and place them in the hands of the parents. It would serve to lessen friction and misunderstanding, and help to abort any threatened epidemic of a contagious disease which might interfere with the school work.
Again, I wish to call your attention to the sanitary ar- rangements in the school buildings. The system is inade- quate to remove the waste often enough, and to provide the best of ventilation. As a result, the air in the basement and on the first floor is often vitiated and detrimental to the best health of the pupils. I recommend that the conditions be called to the attention of the town authorities, and a more suitable provision be made for the disposal of the waste material.
Respectfully submitted, HERBERT LOWELL RICH, School Physician.
