Letters are dictated by the Superintendent to the Stenography class monthly. The results are used to show the pupils the errors which they might make in actual practice and thus be prepared for real office situations.
As a part of the regular work each teacher gives, in addition to the above, tests and checks on the progress of the class. These objective records cannot be held as
84
ANNUAL REPORT
the greatest importance for school progress but they are a valuable part of it.
Music
The Plainville schools always show much interest in the music department's activities. The work of Miss Murielle Fuller with the harmonica band is greatly miss- ed. Mrs. Harriet Washburn, supervisor of music, has given in her report interesting comments on the progress in music.
"Keeping in mind that my main object in teaching music is to instill in all of the children a real love and understanding of music, I feel that the work is progress- ing from year to year and that the children are really enjoying their work in music."
"Orchestral work is improving in selection and inter- pretation. The music is of a much higher class, and the boys and girls seem to enjoy playing it."
"The Band is working well and is improving steadily. I am losing several boys from orchestra and band and I shall miss them very much for they have been good workers. The class in instrumental music started this fall by the Harloway School of Music has several pupils and these will fill vacancies caused by graduations. We feel proud to have so many children taking lessons and feel fortunate in having a young man of such fine char- acter as the teacher."
A System of Pupil Records
For several years various pupil records have been made. They have served their purpose at that time. During the past year a systematic filing plan has been adopted. The past records have been carefully classified and a cumulative filing plan adopted. The file contains a folder for every pupil in the school system. In each folder is placed :
1. Pupil Accounting Card No. 1 on which is entered each year a summary of the Standard Achievement Tests and the general school progress tests.
85
ANNUAL REPORT
2. Pupil Accounting Card No. 2 on which is placed at the end of each year the teacher's opinion that year of the pupil's abilities and successes, like and dislikes, characteristic habits and the means which she has found successful for improving his school progress.
3. The permanent record card showing the school marks in each subject in each grade since the pupil entered school.
4. Copies of any individual psychological or achieve- ment tests.
5. Letters to and from parents concerning that pupil.
6. Reports by Principals and teachers of any special action which concerns that child's general progress.
As there are available records now for several years, these files are becoming a very valuable source of in- formation and will steadily increase in value with the careful accumulation of records each year.
Art
"Art is an important part of the child's training. We have the following objectives such as :
1. To develop the power of observation.
2. To develop visual memory.
3. To stimulate creative imagination.
4. To develop an appreciation of the beautiful.
5. To educate for better employment of leisure time in the enjoyment of the arts and crafts.
6. To encourage the talented pupil."
From the above quotation from the report of Mrs. Rowena B. Rice, supervisor of art, I wish to emphasize the need for the type of training under number five. If interests can be aroused and skills developed which will carry over into adult life, the school will be making bet-
86
ANNUAL REPORT
ter citizens. Nearly every educational conference stresses this need. Under conditions today this need is greater than ever before. More opportunity and more equip- ment is needed to carry out this plan. This field should be enlarged to give similar opportunities to adults.
"We are designing and painting some large murals in the advanced art class in High to be placed in grade class rooms. Elizabeth C. Patton made the block print design for the cover of the school report."
"There has been great improvement in the quality and originality of the work in the grades. Story illustration, color, paper construction, book binding, stencilling, de- sign posters, perspective, lettering, cut paper and repre- sentation are among the art activities."
"The following pupils won awards in the 'Be Kind to Animals' poster contest :

Teachers' Meetings
A brief summary of the teachers' meetings during 1934 will be valuable in showing some of the educational activities in which the school staff has participated. At the start of each year and the school term, conferences are called by the Principals on matters of school organ- ization. During the year, as occasion requires, confer- ences of the Principals and the Superintendent are held with the most emphasis on the matters of pupil promo- tion and graduation plans. The more formal teachers' meetings that were conducted by the Superintendent are as follows :
In March a general meeting of all teachers in both towns was held at which the Superintendent gave a report on the National Convention and discussed with the
87
ANNUAL REPORT
teachers some of the educational standards which had been given on that occasion.
In April and in September the High School Principals and teachers in both towns were called together for discussion of their recommendations on the revised High School report card. These meetings resulted in the new card which is in operation this year.
In October Miss Ida E. Scheib, State Supervisor of Safety Education, talked to the elementary school teachers, giving them suggestion and help on plans for teaching safety.
In May Mr. Harry E. Gardner of the State Department of Education gave a most inspiring talk on "The New Demands on Teachers" at a joint meeting of all teachers. This was both inspiring and practical for all.
Reports by all teachers, followed by a discussion and conference, were given in September and again in December on the topic "Lesson Assignments." The aim was to make more effective the teacher's procedure in assigning lessons and guiding the study plan of pupils.
In October Miss Marguerite McAndrews, a represen- tative of the Lyons and Carnahan Publishing Company, visited a number of the primary class rooms for the purpose of noting the procedure in the teaching of pri- mary reading. This was followed by a conference of all such teachers at which she gave valuable help on the teaching of reading. As all primary teachers are using the textbook published by that company, this was a most unusual opportunity for each teacher to get personal help from a recognized reading expert. A very definite start was made to strengthen our instruction in this vital subject.
Grammar School Organization
In September 1934 the three Grammar School rooms started upon a new plan of organization. In general, the
88
ANNUAL REPORT
plan conforms to the departmental system. Miss Knox teaches the classes in social science-geography and history ; Miss Allen, mathematics; and Miss Robbins, English grammar and literature in each of the three classes. The balance of the work in each grade is car- ried by the home room teacher. It is not exact to call this plan a Junior High School organization for such a plan would require complete departmental organization of all instruction and also an enriched curriculum giving much wider range of instruction than is possible with the present number of teachers. Our plan more nearly corresponds to the cooperative plan which is in use in a number of schools in Newton. Through frequent con- ferences with the regular and special teachers it is hoped that this organization will more nearly reach that plan. The main advantage in the new organization are spec- ialized teaching and continuity of a teacher-pupil contact. Each teacher now gives instruction in the subjects which she has the greatest natural ability or specialized training. All teachers cannot be specialists in every subject as is assumed in the old plan of organization. Also, under the new plan in instructing in one subject the teacher has more opportunity to develop the pres- entation of her subject and motivate the instruction. In this plan each pupil is with a given teacher in a subject for three years. The continuity of the work through three grades gives a longer time for the teacher to guide the pupil's educational growth in that subject. It is too early at the present time to make definite state- ments about the results. The general reaction of par- ents, teachers, and pupils is most favorable. The progress tests which have been given this fall indicate higher accomplishment than has been made in the past. Every effort will be made to increase the effectiveness of this plan and to carefully check the results to de- termine a future course of action.
Health Reports
Mrs. Ruah M. Harris gave a careful summary of the school inspection work during the year. Child Health Day was observed on May 24. The program represent- ed an old English Festival which was well done and appreciated by a large group of parents. A campaign
89
ANNUAL REPORT
for diphtheria immunization is under way at present. Mrs. Carl Wier is chairman of the group of parents who are conducting it.
The annual report of the school physician, Dr. Allen R. Howard, emphasizes the large number of class three defects. He reports thirty-five such cases. This is more than 10% of the school population. Some of these are due to the financial inability to have medical treatment. Following an inspection of the school lunch room early in the present school year the carrying out of the school physician's recommendations resulted in much improved conditions in this department. Dr. Howard is emphasiz- ing this year the diphtheria immunization project. He has kindly offered to give his services for the first year without charge for starting this program.
Radio in the Schools
Radio equipment is now available in the schools through the efforts of the teachers and pupils in raising funds for this equipment, or through the generosity of parents. There are several series of educational broad- casts that are being used to supplement the regular school instruction. Radio will never take the place of the class room teacher, but more and more it undoubted- ly will furnish an efficient tool that a wide-awake teacher can use wisely in increasing the effectiveness of her class room procedure.
Nursery School
The Nursery School is being operated for the second year through funds furnished by the F.E.R.A. Mrs. Helen M. Munroe is in charge of this activity. Approx- imately ten pupils are in attendance. While the available space for this school is not ideal much is being accom- plished which is beneficial. A small amount of funds is available each month for supplies, thus gradually more material is made available for this type of instruction. Through the increase in funds allotted to the school department the time schedule of the school has been increased from three mornings a week to five mornings
90
ANNUAL REPORT
and two afternoons, making twenty-four hours which is the maximum allowed under the regulations for any one teacher.
There have been during the past year evidences of increased interest by the parents at school exhibitions, school visits during Education Week, and meetings of the Parent-Teacher Association. Continued and in- creased interest and support of these and other forms of school and home contacts will make better schools.
I wish to gratefully acknowledge and express my appreciation for the kind gift and pleasing testimonial which the teachers and janitors presented to me last June at the conclusion of my ten years as Superintendent in the Norton-Plainville schools. Through their efforts and cooperation with the school program the results have been possible.
Because of your careful interest and thoughtful analysis of school problems, it has been a pleasure to work to carry out the policies of the School Committee.
Respectfully submitted, LAURENCE G. NOURSE, Superintendent of Schools.

ANNUAL REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION
January 14, 1935.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
The annual report of your Town Forest Committee is herewith submitted.
During the winter months, up to April 1st, a crew of 11 men under the C. W. A. project, spent most of the time on brush cutting and release work. Brush cutting was carried on over an area of 20 acres of burnt over land, making ready for reforesting, which we had hopes of doing. Release work has been completed on about 15 acres. Trees of poor form and others of little value have been removed from this stand.
Due to the limited time of this C. W. A. program, in getting men to work, and the extreme cold winter, this was about the only work that could be carried out in our forest. Nevertheless, it was felt that an opportunity for the development of some kind in our town forest should not be lost.
On May 3 a crew of 5 men planted 7000 red pine on land off East Bacon and Messenger Streets. After this planting all work ceased through the summer.
This forest is fortunate in having a network of roads which cross it in such a manner as to divide it into small areas for administration and fire protection.
During October one man was employed in brushing out all woodroads and foot trails. A small amount, about 500 feet of very badly needed stream improvement has been made which has resulted in a much improved appearance in our recreational area.
105
ANNUAL REPORT
We feel our town forest should have a well-deserved reputation as a beauty spot and recreational center for our townspeople. Accordingly, the work carried on here has been more along the lines of a development of a recreational area.
This committee has built up a paying proposition with much more income in the future, and with the aid from this income, will be able little by little to build up the most attractive town forest and recreational ground in Norfolk County. In asking for our appropriation, we feel we are asking only for what we have worked for. and not the taxpayer's money.
