Mr. Kaitz has been, for the past two years, our Audio-Visual Aids Director, and has done a commendable job. His services in this ca- pacity are to procure and schedule films, filmstrips, records and other correlated material for teachers to use in connection with classwork.
This is the first year that departmentalization has been in operation in the 6th grade. One of the purposes of this program is to provide a richer program for those children entering a much larger high school the following year. It gives them an understanding and feeling of changing classes and having much better teachers for various subjects. Also it is possible for teachers to concentrate efforts in fewer areas and offer children more in these subjects.
Acknowledgment must be given to several mothers who have given up much of their own time in gathering information and formu- lating plans for an Elementary School Library of the future. This is not a short term project and there are many hours of work ahead for this committee. There is an already formed teachers' library commit- tee to work in conjunction with these people and help in any way possible. This is a project that will reap many benefits for students, teachers and parents alike.
We are in hopes of forming a committee in the future to initiate a Student Safety Patrol under the guidance and direction of interested teachers.
In teaching in Plainville, I have always felt that I have been work- ing with a sincere group of people interested in their work of teach- ing the children of this town. Not until I became teaching Principal have I fully realized how cooperative and understanding a group of teachers I am working with. I wish to thank them for this - the School Committee for its consideration and support - Mr. Sharp for his advice and guidance - Mrs. Andrews, our secretary, for her help - and the custodians and cafeteria workers for their cooperation.
ART Louise B. Spier, Supervisor
The biggest change this year has brought is that of having only the first six grades in our schools since Fall when our upper grades departed to go to the new King Philip Regional High School. It was a wonderful step forward to be through with half-sessions for some

of our grades and to have full sessions for everyone once more. With this new set up, it has been possible to meet every class once a week not only to my delight but also to that of the pupils and teachers. Some grades have an additional five, ten or fifteen minutes added to their art lessons.
We have art exhibits from each room for a two-week period in the lunchroom which creates interest among the pupils and enhances the appearance of the lunchroom. For the November meeting of the P.T.A. an exhibit of "Father and I" from the first grades and "Por- traits of My Father" from grades two through six were on exhibit in the gym. These were executed in crayon and water color. The com- ments from the parents were interesting and favorable.
Last May, the art department cooperated with the music depart- ment in grades one through six in putting on the Music Festival. Chil- dren posed for famous paintings while the rest of the class sang ap- propriate songs. The children learned a great deal about the artists who painted the pictures. It was a very successful program.
The results of the Animal Poster Contest conducted by the Massa- chusetts S.P.C.A. were not as satisfying as usual. The following pupils won prizes:
First Prize:

It is the aim of the art program to encourage children to work creatively, to learn basic art principles, to enjoy and appreciate the beautiful in order that they may grow and develop more fully.
Again, I wish to express my appreciation and thanks for the con- tinued and excellent cooperation of the Superintendent of Schools; the Principal and the teachers.

MUSIC
Harriet F. Washburn, Supervisor of Vocal Music
As I write my annual report, I wish first of all to thank Mr. Sharp for his understanding of the needs of the children in their music work, and to express my gratitude for the splendid cooperation of teachers and children in their application and response to the planned music program. Thursday, my day at school, is the highlight of the week for me, for each class makes me feel that it anticipates and enjoys the music.
Even though the double session program curtailed some of the extra things we have done in music, our regular work was accom- plished as usual, with rhythmic activities and orchestra, listening to and recognizing good music, singing and reading music.
The Spring Festival was a cooperative affair under the direction of the art and music supervisors and with the able assistance of the teachers, children and parents. Correlating art and music, made for a very attractive program, giving the children an opportunity to see and recognize some of the famous works of art and to know some few points about the artists of those famous paintings. Appropriate music was sung by the children for each picture, words of some of the songs written either by a teacher or by the children. Since art and music are cultural subjects, they are needed to give one a well-rounded education.
Hardly an hour passes in any day but music is heard either on record player, radio or television. Music is used as background to express all kinds of emotions. It is used in places of business as a humanizing agent and has an influence on the dispositions of the work- ers in all kinds of occupations. How necessary it is to know some- thing of the music we so constantly hear so we may have a greater ap- preciation of its meaning and beauty.
Beethoven's wisdom said, "Every day spent without learning something is a day lost."

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
Warren S. Freeman, Supervisor
I have the honor to submit my annual report for the year 1957, concerning the instrumental music program in the public schools of Plainville, Massachusetts.
During the year 1957 it has been our aim to develop the best pos- sible instrumental music program for Plainville. We offered oppor- tunities for instruction on all instruments to pupils in grades 4, 5 and 6. We conducted instrumental music demonstrations during the year and contacted parents in regard to the instrumental program. Each of the instrumental groups holds a weekly rehearsal and opportunity is also given for individual instruction and remedial work.
The elimination of grades 7 through 12 has created special prob- lems in the instrumental program in Plainville. It is our considered opinion that the instrumental work in grades 4, 5 and 6 takes on added importance with the development of the Regional High School in order that the pupils from Plainville have adequate preparation for the ex- tensive music education program which has been planned for the Re- gional High School. With this object in mind, special emphasis has been placed upon the instrumental program for grades 4, 5 and 6. Each pupil in these grades receives individual instruction each week as well as the opportunity to play in the ensemble. We are fortunate this year to have as our assistants, Mr. Frederick White of Attleboro, an accomplished woodwind instructor; Mr. Ernest Zwicker and Mr. Gerald Gilbert, who have been working with the pupils and giving individual instruction to them.
Our program in Plainville has made excellent progress during the past year. The band in the Spring of 1957 appeared at the annual Music Festival, played for the Memorial Day parade and for certain other school and civic functions during the year. The vocal program, formerly carried on by the writer, has now been discontinued due to the organization of the Regional High School, and the entire vocal program is now in the hands of Mrs. Washburn.
At this time, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the School Committee, Superintendent of Schools and to each of the Prin- cipals for their unfailing cooperation in making possible an effective program of instrumental music in the schools of Plainville.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Dr. John T. Cotter
The examination of the students in the Elementary School is pro- gressing satisfactorily. The general health of the children is good. No major problem has been seen. The usual number of tonsil cases are being seen and there were a few cases of flat feet which may re- quire attention. The few cases of dermophytosis (athletes' feet) seen last year and followed were apparently cured.
The usual annual Diphtheria prevention clinic was well-attended, and for the past two years has seemed to be a worthwhile matter as evidenced by the attendance.
The entire staff of adults in the School System were offered vac- cine to combat Asian Influenza and this project was well-attended. In view of the threat of this epidemic this was an important prophylactic measure.
I wish to thank Mrs. Claudy and the members of the Staff for their assistance and cooperation.
SCHOOL NURSE
Janet Claudy, R.N.
Our school physician has completed his physical examinations on all pupils in the first grade. Pupils of fourth grade are scheduled to have similar examinations in the early Spring. Students coming into the system and those referred to the Nurse by teachers will also be examined. This fulfills State requirements.
All students have been weighed and measured. By means of these annual height-weight records, it can be ascertained whether or not a child is growing normally. When necessary, parents are notified, dietary suggestions are offered and weekly weights are recorded.
Each pupil has been given a hearing test, and all parents have been notified of any below-normal hearing disclosed by means of this test.
69
ANNUAL REPORT
1957
Vision tests for all pupils are scheduled to take place during the second term of school.
Tuberculin skin tests were given to all second-graders by a med- ical team from Norfolk County Hospital. The purpose of this program is to detect the presence of Tuberculosis in a child's system.
Teachers, substitute teachers and school personnel who had pre- viously expressed a desire for it, were given innoculations of Asiatic Influenza Vaccine by Dr. Cotter.
An annual series of three immunization clinics was held in the Health Unit during the early Spring months of 1957. By means of in- noculations which were given at this time, children received protection against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. Similar clinic dates are scheduled for 1958.
An annual registration day was held in May for all prospective first-graders and will be repeated in May of 1958.
I wish to thank Dr. Cotter, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Randall, the entire faculty and all personnel for the very excellent cooperation which they have given me.
CLOSING
We regretted having Mrs. Esther Grant discontinue her duties as Principal of the Elementary School. Her devotion to children cannot be surpassed, and her guidance to both teachers and children will long be appreciated. We are happy, however, that she will continue to teach in our system.
Again may I express my appreciation to the members of the School Committee for their help and cooperation. It is a pleasure to work with a group which has a sincere interest in the welfare of the Plainville Public Schools.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH L. SHARP, Superintendent

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Trustees of the Public Library are pleased to report the com- pletion of the renovation project on the library building. A well at- tended open house was held in October and comments have been most favorable. Of more importance has been the tremendous increase in use of the library. 5070 books were circulated in 1957 which is ap- proximately a 300% increase over 1956. Credit for this increase is due in part to the comfortable surroundings, but recognition must be given to our librarian, Mrs. Peter Kilham, and her staff, Mrs. Helen Cobb, Miss Judith Cobb and Miss Sandra Cate. These women have been diligent in their efforts to improve the services offered by the library.
Many avenues for improvement are still open to us. Hours were increased this year, but in January our schedule will again be in- creased as follows: Monday through Saturday from 2:30 until 5 p.m. and Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7 until 9. As budget permits, we hope to have our cataloging system increased to assist in reference work and book selection. This is a long and expensive but very necessary job and is one of our immediate aims. Our book collection needs to be improved in quality as well as size. In this we are grateful to the Friends of the Library Association which is work- ing to assist us in this project.
The trustees have only one major need for the building this year. That is to shingle the roof. It had been thought that the roof could wait for a few years. However when closely examined during the renovation the roof proved to need immediate replacing. As funds were not then available, temporary repairs were made. We have in- cluded the estimated amount of $518 in our budget for 1958. It is imperative that the work be done as soon as weather permits in order to protect our major investment of last year in improvements to the building.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Considerable progress was achieved by your civil defense organiza- tion during 1957, and I am pleased to present to you this annual report setting forth the important developments of the year.
Several trips were made to Sector headquarters for the gather- ing of information and briefing on the latest developments in Civil Defense Operations.
A Medical Officer has been appointed to set up emergency aid facilities for the town. He is William P. Cooney. Mr. Cooney comes to us highly recommended as a competent man for the job.

ANNUAL REPORT
1957
Mr. Boyd N. Cheney has been appointed Aux. Police Chief under Chief Elmer Pease. As his assistants, James E. Johnson, Burton V. Miller, and Joseph A. Pelletier have been appointed. These men are part of the regular Reserve Police Force and I am sure they can re- cruit and train a C.D. Police Force that the town will be proud to support.
