Eight have left school thus far this year. Of these four have been transferred to other schools and four have gone to work. This I feel is an average record for a school of this size.


A new Program of Studies has been arranged and has been approved by the State Department for Sec- ondary Education. It is intended that this schedule will be a foundation for a permanent program of studies. Of course, as the school grows and the teaching force is increased, new studies will be added.


The program is as follows :

ANNUAL REPORT


Notes on Courses of Study


The College Course fits for college or normal school.


The Commercial Course fits for a position as a book- keeper or stenographer.


The General Course is especially intended for those who will probably complete their scholastic life with this course. It aims to give a general education along physical, social and economic lines.


Diplomas will be granted to those who have passed in a total of 75 units, including 15 of English and 5 of United States History and Government, which may be taken in either the third or the fourth year.


Pupils shall be classified as first, second, third and fourth year pupils. Fifteen units are required for pro motion to the second year, thirty-five to the third year and fifty-five to the fourth year.


In making out a program of work for any year a pupil may choose only from the year in which he is qualified and classified, or from a preceding year, pro- vided the daily program for the school will permit.


A pupil who in any year fails to complete four full subjects shall not be allowed to elect more than four for the following year unless he be a fourth year student.


The passing mark is C, but pupils who wish to be certified to higher institutions must attain a rank of B. It is possible to graduate in three years if five sub- jects are taken each year and an average of at least. B is obtained in three of the five.


During the first two weeks of June each pupil shall choose his course for the following year. The princi- pal will be in his office afternoons during this time to consult with parents and pupils concerning studies.


Each subject shall count five points per year's work except the following, which will be counted as marked :


Music-2 points for the four years. Drawing-1 point per year. Domestic Science-1 point per year. Typewriting-21/2 points per year.

ANNUAL REPORT


Plainville High School has the privilege of certifica- tion to college and is in Class A for Normal School cer- tification. There is no legitimate reason why a student should not enter a higher institution directly, providing that he has conscientiously done his work while here.


There have been quite extensive additions made to the Science Department in the way of permanent equip- ment. A new Rotary Neostyle has been purchased with money derived from the one play we have had and from the Ladies' Home Journal drive. This will be not only of much assistance in getting out notices for the school and the Parent-Teachers' Association, but will also be a great addition to our Commercial Department.


The boys are now rehearsing a minstrel show, which will be presented at Plainville on Jan. 23 and later in Norton. The proceeds from the show will be equally divided between the athletic and school funds.


A School orchestra has been formed and is practising regularly under the direction of Mrs. Tisdale. The French Club, under the leadership of Miss Plaisted, has been doing excellent work throughout the year. A Radio Club is now being planned which will include all those interested in this line of work. A set will be constructed at the school and the members will be en- couraged to build sets for themselves. A school pub- lication is also planned under the direction of the Eng- lish Department. This publication will be issued at various times throughout the year. There have been no school socials thus far this year owing to the many outside activities of the students.


It is very unfortunate that owing to local conditions only one phase of athletics, namely, baseball, can be developed. With so much excellent basketball material at hand it is very discouraging to be unable to utilize it.


In conclusion, I desire to express my appreciation of the wonderful co-operation given me by my faculty. Never have I enjoyed such kindly relations between students and faculty.


Respectfully submitted, CORYDON R. NICHOLS.

The time has come, when we all must part, Our High School career is o'er ; Altho' we're blue, for we know 'tis true Within these walls we shall study no more. So, teachers and friends, to you we bring Our saddest of thoughts tonight as we sing.


Chorus


We know the journey's rough, Over life's dark pathways; But we'll just join the throng, Helping and striving always, When the days seem long and dreary We'll do our best, we'll never grow weary, Upward we hope to soar-

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE TEACHER


Mr. Lawrence G. Nourse, Superintendent of Schools, Plainville, Mass.


Dear Sir: The Domestic Science schedule this year has, as a result of certain circumstances, bbeen short- ened and varied from that of the previous year. Periods are held Tuesday and Friday of each week and consist of classes in sewing from the fourth grade up to the eighth grade, a class in cooking in the eighth, and one in cooking and one in sewing for the High School.


The fourth and fifth grade classes sew by hand, learning any applying the fundamental stitches in the making of simple garments, such as work aprons and night gowns.


Machine stitching is started in the fifth grade and used in the making of the more difficult garments in the sixth and seventh grades .. The girls are urged to do fine hand sewing, also, on the articles. They have selected the cloth and pattern and cut out the garment themselves before making it.


The High School class in sewing does more advanced work in selection of material and patterns and in cut- ting and making.


Very simple dishes are prepared in the first cooking class, the eighth grade, but practical rules and methods are taught and the girls show keen interest in the work. They made and served cookies and punch at the Christ- mas exercises in their room.


The High School class studies and plans daily meals for an average family and prepare more difficult dishes. This class plans to servve a dinner to the School Com- mittee and Superintendent as a part of the training.


Owing to the very poor flow of gas during the cook- ing hours it was necessary to use another source of heat. A new Superflex oil stove has helped in the work and also given a little heat in a cold class room. The new blackboard and added cooking utensils make a well equipped room. However, the room itself is unattrac- tive in the matter of paint and chairs, etc. If this con- dition could be improved the efforts made by the girls to make it a pleasing place would seem of more avail.


Yours very truly,


MARY F. CROKE.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING


Mr. Laurence G. Nourse, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: I hereby submit my report as Supervisor of Drawing in the schools of Plainville.


The chief aim of the work has been to sultivate nat- ural expression, refined taste, a keen color sense, ob- servation, insight and judgment.


In the grades much has been accomplished in de- sign, color, representation, nature study, lettering. perspective, posters for Good Health, with appropriate work for the various holidays, as Thanksgiving. Christ- mas, etc. The seventh and eighth grades have been doing particularly good still life sketches in water colors.


Construction work in the lower grades, although necessarily limited, is one which appeals alike to both teachers and pupils.


In the High School there are classes in Metal Work and Mechanical Drawing. The students in the metal work class are making desk sets in hammered copper with pierced designs. which include such pieces as paper knives, blotter corners, book-ends, letter holder, stamp box, etc. The work is both fascinating as well as prac- tical.


I wish to thank all the teachers for their hearty co- operation in the work and hope that this report gives an adequate idea of what has been, and is being accon- plished.


Respectfully submitted, MRS. ELINOR M. MULDOON.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


Mr. Laurence G. Nourse, Superintendent of Schools, Plainville, Mass.


My Dear Mr. Nourse : As requested, I have written a few facts regarding the work in music for the past year. It has been an exceedingly pleasant year in my line of work. A High School Orchestra has been or- ganized and we anticipate that it will be a great stic- cess.


We have been unable to have a Course in Apprecia- tion of Music as we had last year in the High School because we did not have the suitable records. Mr. Hall owned the records which we used and very kindly loaned them to us. The pupils made a very creditable showing in the Memory Contest, which is a part of this course. There were many who had between 95 per cent. and 100 per cent. correct, and I believe the per cent. of the whole school was near 75 per cent. There were pupils who did almost nothing with the contest and that lowered the per cent. of the school greatly.


The work in the grades is progressing very satisfac- torily. Much of this progress is due to the teachers. all of whom returned this year, and understand my inethod and whose co-operation I thoroughly appre- ciate.


Very truly yours, .


MARTHA C. TISDALE.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. Laurence G. Nourse, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: I hereby submit my report.


Total number pupils in school 273


Total number visits to homes 17


Total number visits miscellaneous 10


Total number notices sent home . 149


Total number cases referred to physician 7


Total number cases treated bby nurse lice, con-

Scarlet fever 1, Whooping cough 1, Impetigo 5, Measles 3, Chicken pox 12.


It might be well to say that the only way to keep our children free from epidemics is to co-operate with schools and health officials, reporting to them just as soon as you know there is a contagious disease in your family. Someone may conceal a very bad ill- ness and your child may be the one to take it with seri- ous results. During the past year a number of cases of chicken pox failed to be reported properly to the Board of Health.


There seems to be a little misunderstanding among some of the parents about the lunches served in school, for the benefit of those who are unable to go home for a hot dinner. We are very fortunate to have Mrs. Ribero come daily and prepare this lunch for a certain sum each hour. Therefore the charge made for sand- wiches, etc., is merely to cover cost of material used and its preparation. Various kinds of chowders and hot soups have been added to the menu of hot cocoa, milk and a variety of sandwiches. The Grange has very kindly given us $35 to buy dishes, spoons, etc., necessary to carry on this work.


One pupil was taken to the Eye and Ear Infirmary for operation on eyes and was fitted for glasses. An- other was taken to hospital for removal of tonsils.


75


ANNUAL REPORT


A Health Play, "The Quest for the Fountain of Health," was given by pupils of different grades, cov- ering in an interesting manner the way to "Healthland."


It is encouraging to say that our dental examination reveals a steady increase each year in the number of pupils free from defective teeth.


A clinic will be held in the Spring for pupils from 10 to 20 per cent. underweight. The object of this is to promote the health of school children and prevent disease by calling attention to any defect or infection that may be found, so that the condition may be reme- died before serious illness results. The clinic will be conducted by specialists sent out by the State. A re- port will be sent each family physician.


I want to thank the parents for their increasing co- operation, which has been very helpful in many ways.


In conclusion, I wish to thank the Superintendent, School Physician, School Committee and teachers for their interest and help.


Respectfully submitted,


GINA WHITEHOUSE, R. N.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Superintendent of Schools of Plainville :


Dear Sir: In presenting my report for year ending Dec. 31, 1924, I am very glad to report that there has been very little impairment of the general health of the children during the past school year that has affected the attendance record of the children.


During the Spring term there were a few suspicious and very few positive cases of an infective disease, but by elose watch and close observation and reports of the teachers, I believe we prevented an epidemic which might have been quite serious.


I wish to express my appreciation for the very effi- cient work carried on by the School Nurse and the great help given by the teachers in their efforts to keep up the general health standard we have been maintaining.


As I have for several years emphasized upon the sanitary conditions of the basement, I again urge you to have the sanitary conditions entirely renovated.


In my report of last year I spoke of a "Health Clinic," which we have been unable to have up to the present time, although plans are being made for such a clinic in the near future.


In conclusion, I would suggest that the School Nurse should have one more day a week to give to her work at the school, as the one day she now has is not suffi- cient for her to do the amount of work required of her and amlost impossible to do any new work which should have been carried out without sacrifice of some of her routine work. This extra one day a week would allow for outside work or home work which would aid vvery much in helping to raise our standard of health in the school.

REPORT OF SCHOOL DENTAL INSPECTION


Total number of pupils examined this year. . .


.. 270


The inspection for the year 1923 showed only one out of all the pupils examined whose teeth was in per- fect condition. The year 1924 showed 55 whose teeth were in perfect condition, and the present year shows 80 out of the 270 whose teeth are in perfect condition.


Since 1923, the first year, until 1925, the present vear, there has been a marked improvement in the con- dition of the teeth of the pupils of the public schools of the town of Plainville, Mass.

PLAINVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY


The conditions in the library are much the same as in the past two years. We are still cramped as to room.


The rooms have been open 153 sessions during the year, with a total circulation of 5824, a gain of nearly 700 volumes for the year.


Your trustees would still call the attention of teachers and school authorities, to the fact, that they are ready and willing to purchase technical and reference books upon request.


There have been added during the year 280 volumes, mostly fiction, altho a number of good non-fiction books have been placed upon the shelves. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Sylvester Smith who kindly donated 17 volumes


Arrangements have been made with the Authorities of the Norfolk Agricultural School for an extension course in the subjects of "Small Fruit Culture," "Poultry Husbandry," "The Home Vegetable Garden and Home Flower Garden." These meeting are to be held in the Grange Hall and by the time this report reaches the public ( the first one will have been held.


These meetings are without cost and have no hidden object iniducing you to join some association or to get our hand in your pocket in any manner. The lecturers are all men well known in their particular branch and will gladly answer questions or give advice to the best of their ability. The library has a good colection of books on these subjects which Mr. Pease, the Librarian. will gladly refer you to.


The hours fo rexchange of books are Mondey and Wednesday evenings from 7.30 o'clock to 9 o'clock P. M., and Friday afternoons from 3 until 5 o'clock.


The Breau of Statistics having made a request or ruling that all appropriations made at the Town Meet- ing must be for a stated sum, we would respectfully ask for the sum of $525 and the Dog Tax for the year 1925.

January 1, 1924. Moth work was started with creosoting gypsy moth nests, only two bad places were found which are on the town line with Foxboro. These places were given a good scouting and with the help of Foxboro Department on spraying, they showed some improvement.


Spraying was started in June, ending in July. 1500 pounds of lead were used, four wood lots were sprayed in Shepardville and one in Bleake's Hill, all the country roadsides were sprayed. Truck was used for spraying instead of horses. Two men were employed through the season. A survey of the whole town showed that Gypsy Moths are not as thick as in the past.


Respectfully submitted, GEORGE H. SNELL, Local Supt.
