The total number of pupils in both schools Dec. 23 was 292, and twenty-one have left school. Only one pupil has left the Hight School and that pupil was a student only a few days. We feel very pleased with this. One reason why several pupils have left the grades is because several families have moved from town. These have all been replaced by incoming pupils.

ANNUAL REPORT
The High School Program of Studies seems very adequate and desirable in every way. It follows the same as last year and is explained in detail by the following paragraphs.
The College Preparatory course is adequate to fit students for college with the required number of units. The classical studies of French and Latin are sufficient to allow a student to pursue study for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts and if the sciences such as Chemistry and Physics are followed, work in college may continue for Bachelor of Science. If the mathematics are con- tinued through the High School the student will have obtained a sufficient amount to continue his studies in Technology.
The General course contains a good variety of sub- jects for the pupil who intends to leave school at the completion of the High School course. This is ar- ranged so a smattering of the Classics and Sciences will give the student a well balanced liberal education.
The Commercial course is also complete in the funda- mentals of a commercial education and trains the student quite thoroughly in Typewriting, Stenography and Business methods. I see no reason why. a student recommended by this department is not fitted for the position of stenographer without further schooling.
A good start has been made toward establishing a course of study for the grades. We already have a very well organized course in English, which correlates the work through all the grades. We have also a fairly well established system for Arithmetic, that should eliminate the usual unnecessary waste of time between grades.
Plainville High is rated as a Class A High School for Normal School certification by the State Board of Education. The teachers are using every means known to the Science of Teaching to encourage the pupils to do a sufficient amount of work so they may continue successfully in their college work. There is no excuse for any pupil certified from this school not succeeding in their college work.
61
ANNUAL REPORT
The Orchestra was reorganized again this year in spite of the fact that the interest last year did not seem sufficient to warrant its continuance throughout the year. We were handicapped this year by the sudden death of our leader, Mrs. Tisdale, who had been with us so long. I am sure, after we get started again, it will develop as usual.
Our school paper, "The Loud Speaker" had a very successful edition and the English and Commercial de- partments are now making arrangements for the second edition.
The public speaking for the Norton-Plainville- Wrentham league was held in Norton last year. The new combination seems a much better one than the Singleton. The speaking will be held in Wrentham this year. Although Plainville did not win the fine cun donated by Jordan Marsh Co., we were very well represented and won one of the prizes.
The Senior class, assisted by Miss Farwell of the English department, gave a play, "The Colonel's Maid," in the Town Hall, which proved very efficient both financially and as an entertainment. They are both to be congratulated on their fine work.
Athletics, during the past year, have been successful in many ways. The boys have been conscientious in their play, and have developed a habit of clean hard thinking, which will benefit them in life. Our boys here are handicapped somewhat, because of the lack of even competition. Nearly all teams played are much larger and better equipped. I would again suggest that the Town raise $200. to be spent for Athletics and equip- ment in the schools each year. About 30 boys, and almost an equal number of girls, are members of the School Athletic Association, and have been taking ad- vantage of the basketball court this past winter.
The lunch room this year is under the direction of the Domestic Arts department, and is being conducted very creditable. It is self-supporting, and those in charge should be greatly commended. A very fine lunch may be obtained at a very small cost.
May I take this opportunity to thank the members of
62

the teaching force and all those connected with the school administration for their very loyal and hearty co-operation ?
Respectully submitted, H. CHARLES MAXIM, Principal, Plainville Schools.
REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR
Norton, Mass., December 31, 1926
Mr. Laurence G. Nourse,
Superintendent of Schools,
Norton and Plainville, Mass.
Dear Sir :
I herewith submit my report of the Art Department for the fall term of 1926. Having been in the schools of Norton and Plainville for such a short time the report is necessarily incomplete.
A thoughtful consid eration of what modern life would be if all art were taken away will often prove a surprise. This imaginary removal would include every curve, line, or groove whose sole purpose is improve- ment of appearance. The moment an object of any kind is treated beyond the point of utility alone it has acquired an element of art.
Today the type of art education in the public schools furnishes the child with a means of self-expression. It developes muscular skill of hand and cultivates truth in observation. It stimulates the imagination and de- velopes appreciation of beauty.
It is constantly necessary for each of us to make good or poor selections in our dress, in our homes, and at our work. A knowledge of color harmony, correct design, and orderly arrangement enables the child to use good taste in his selections.
63
ANNUAL REPORT
In September Nature furnishes abundant material for pupils to study plant life. The classes did splendid flower, fruit, and landscape drawing, using crayons, pencil, brush and ink, water color, and colored chalk.
The month of October was devoted to color study. The theory of color was taught and the pupils learned the "how" and "why" of combining colors.
During November and December the pupils of all grades gave their efforts toward printing, measuring, and constructing for Thanksgiving and Christmas problems. Each child worked out two or three projects for use as Christmas gifts at home.
It is to be regretted that the students of the high schools of Plainville and Norton, a number of whom are especially talented, have so little time to devote to drawing.
I wish to express my appreciation to you, Mr. Nourse, for the splendid support you have given my work; and to the teachers of Norton and Plainville for their very kind co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLOTTE A. DEMPSEY.
REPORT OF PENMANSHIP TEACHER
Mr. Laurence G. Nourse,
January 5, 1927.
Superintendent of Schools,
Plainville, Massachusetts.
My dear Mr. Nourse :
Penmanship, one of the oldest subjects in the school curriculum, has been one of the last to receive the at- tention of the public along the lines of methods of teach- ing children how to write.
The aims of penmanship instruction should be to teach pupils to write easily and well. As the habit of writing
64
ANNUAL REPORT
well is equally as important as the ability to write well, the habit of good, easy, rapid writing should be the acquisition of every teacher and of every child.
These are the standards for which the teachers and pupils are striving in the schools in Plainville, and I feel that much progress has been made by them during the past school year 1925-1926.
During that year in the grades and in the high school 408 awards were received from the Palmer Company.
Pupils who have done satisfactory work in grade I are given a Silver Star pin; in grade II and in grade III, a Gold Star pin; in grade IV, a Palmer Method button; in grade V, a Progress pin; in grade VI, an Improvement Certificate ; and in grade VIII, the pupils are allowed to try for the Student Certificate. These awards are a great incentive to good work.
The results of last year were accomplished by the intense interest of the pupils in their work in penman- ship, and by the splendid co-operation of the teaching staff.
Very truly yours, ETHEL T.TEWKSBURY, Supervisor of Penmanship.
REPORT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE TEACHER
Mr. L. G. Nourse, Supt. of Schools, Plainville, Mass.
My dear Mr. Nourse :
Our work has been successful and very pleasant dur- ing the year. In both the cooking and sewing calsse the girls have taken a lively interest in the work and have obtained good results.
In the teaching of sewing, as in other subjects, th
T
65
ANNUAL REPORT
first step is to instruct the girls in the fundamentals. After learning the methods of doing each stitch, and the necessary practice work is finished the girls turn their attention to the making of simple garments or useful household articles. The time is limited and the girls are allowed a choice in the knid of work they do. They are urged to select something which will fill a need, either in their homes or their wardrobes. In this matter we want and have often received the help of the parents.
In the fourth grade the work is simple and confined to small articles such as work bags, gfts, towels and aprons.
In the fifth grade, the girls work on larger garments such as a slip or nightdress.
The sixth grade girls begin the use of the machine, learn mending, darning, etc. and work on slips an. bloomers.
The work of the seventh grade is done almost wholly by machine. The study and use of a pattern is taken up at this time, although we have often found the girls in other grades have much ability along this line. The seventh grade girls make their cooking uniforms and work on kimonos or blouses.
In the High School class the girls make bluoses, skirts, dresses and other articles which they may need.
We have two cooking classes of 14 girls each. They prepare simple dishes while learning the essentials of cookery and either serve themselves or contribute their work for the school lunch counter according to the nature of the lesson. They plan to serve typical family menus before the course is completed.
Very truly yours,
MARY F. CROKE.

ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Laurence G. Nourse,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :
I herein submit my report as School Physician for 1926.
The physical examination of the children has been completed. The one outstanding condition found is the increase in the number of children that are 10 per cent. or more underweight. I find forty-eight children in this class; an increase of thirteen over last year.
Cards will be sent to the parents of these children at an early date, asking their permission to have the children examined by specialists sent out by the state. The results of these examinations during the past year have been seen in the improvement of some of the chil- dren at this time.
I wish again to urge the parents to become familiar with the Shick test to protect their child against diphtheria. Any parent notifying the School Nurse or myself of their desire to have the test on their child or children, I will gladly have the test done for them.
I wish again to suggest that the time of the Nurse be extended to two days a week.
Respectfully submitted,
F. J. CARLEY, M. D. Jan. 1. 1927
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Laurence G. Nourse,
Superintendent of Schools, Plainville, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Nourse :
I hereby submit my first report (Fall term) as School Nurse of the Plainville Schools.
67
ANNUAL REPORT
A physical examination of every child has been made by your school physician, and notices sent home when found necessary. The outstanding condition, to me, be- ing underweight. An underweight sickly child cannot be a good scholar.
Our aim is to have every child normal. To accomplish this, weekly class room visits are made and a few minutes health talks given. A visit to the home of special cases, to talk with the parents, has proven very helpful.
The school lunch is forming a very important part in this work. The child who hasn't had his warm break- fast, can obtain, for a few cents, good hot cocoa at re- cess. Through our Junior Red Cross funds, under- weight, needy children are having cocoa, milk, and soup given them.
The schools have been noticeably free from infectious diseases during the fall term. Only one case of pedicu- losis and two cases of impetigo being found.
Parents are fast beginning to realize the value of the Shick test, and I hope before school closes in June, each pupil will have had this protection given him.
I cannot close this report without thanking the superintendent, school physician, principal, and especi- ally the teachers, for their earnest co-operation and in- terest, and to their effort is due the success of our health work.
Respectfully submitted,
PAULINE A. H. GILBERT, R. N.

Class Ode
Now we must part In life to start Our high school days have come and gone But let's not mourn.
What though the future hold Sadness and cold E'en though it may be hard to smile Let's smile the while.
Success will crown each life Won by its strife Why should we grieve and sigh When joy is nigh.
Then let us strive to win Strive through thick and thin And in the end we may great Our success complete.

The principal repairs in the center of the Town have been as follows :
Several streets in the town, East and West Bacon, Spring and Cottage, are in good condition on account of being tarred by the State while being used as de- tours. These streets were also given a coat of tar late in the season which should carry them through the winter in good shape. In the spring all tarred roads should be patched carefully and then given a seal coat of tar.
School Street, from State Road to Pleasant, was gravelled in places, scraped, reshaped and tarred but has not turned out as good as expected. From top of hill on School Street gravel was put on for a distance of 1500 feet and same amount of work should be done this year.
Bugbee Street, from Grove to Washington, was filled in with material taken from old macadam road for a depth of eight or twelve inches and then covered with gravel, same being done on Grove, between Brunner and Melcher.
Berry Street was gravelled for about 1500 feet and hill should be shaped up and given a coat of tar if pos- sible this year.
All roads in center of Town were scrapped, waste

material being carted off, gutters cleaned out and what tew catch basins we have were taken care of.
There are several sidewalks in town that need atten- tion and believe they should be constructed like one on Bugbee Street.

Taunton Street, stone and gravel from Washington Street south to Mirimichi Street, also from Messenger to the North Attleboro line about 3500 feet.
Messenger Street, stone and gravel 1800 ft., Robin- son's Hill gravelled and put in good condition to with- stand the winter and spring travel which is severe, un- less the large amount of water that flows from above is properly drained off, this hill should be surface treated to stop its washing into the gutters.
On George Street there has been a new 12 inch Armco Iron Culvert put in at the George place to replace a stone drain that had broken down. There has also been a 16 inch one of the same material at the Crowley
