4. Be regularly enrolled in this school for one complete term immediately preceding the contest. The work done during this term must be of satisfactory grade.
Our present assembly program calls for at least one assemble a month, and usually for two. One of these assemblies is to be used for community singing or for music appreciation. The other is to be used for a suitable speaker or program. We hope that these assemblies will be inspirational as well as educational in nature.
The ventilating fan, which has not been used for some time, is now running regularly as prescribed by law. This system forces fresh air into each classroom and distributes the heat throughout the building. It is working so well that with suggested minor repairs and adjustments, we should have no difficulty in heating rooms which were formerly considered impossible to heat.
The Principal's office is being reorganized, with the hope that a new card filing system may be introduced, to- gether with several needed office machines. Our latest addition is a Ditto duplicating machine by the aid of which many teachers have been able to prepare supple- mentary material for their classes. This machine should pay for itself in a very short time.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
In concluding this report, I should like to call your attention to the four following conditions which should be remedied as soon as possible:
1. Several of our departments are hampered in their work by lack of proper equipment. This is especially true in the science depart- ment, where there are practically no ma- terials for work in physics. Without proper equipment we cannot hope for satisfactory preparation of our students for later com- petition with others.
2. The school library is largely a collection of books salvaged from the fire that destroyed part of the school building several years ago. They are not in fit condition to be used by either teachers or students.
3. The building is so crowded at present that we have to use the lunchroom and the li- brary for classes. Teachers' programs are likewise crowded because of a shortage of teachers. These two conditions reduce the efficiency of our teaching force and the quality of teaching.
4. The salaries of our teachers are decidedly below those paid by our neighboring towns and cities. With these low salaries we can- not hope to obtain good teachers and keep them. If the salaries are not raised to a level with those of other towns, we shall remain a teacher training school for those who will pay higher. We cannot hope to train both teachers and pupils efficiently at the same time.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT W. BARCLAY.

REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR
Mr. A. O. Christiansen, Superintendent of Schools :
I am herewith submitting my report as Art Super- visor in the Town of Randolph.
During the past school year, a definite and practical method of approach to the study and appreciation of art has been followed.
To every teacher in Grades I-VIII inclusive, printed outlines are issued consisting of drawing lessons planned to cover periods of four weeks.
It is true, a large percentage of pupils do not expect to be artists, but by studying color, their enjoyment of color in nature and art will be enlightened; through de- sign their sense of order, balance and beauty will attain a greater breadth of understanding; through construction work their mechanical and mathematical skill will be in- creased; and through the drawing of illustration and compositions, their imagination will be quickened and originality given a new impetus.
In those branches of vocational education which deal with industry, mechanical drawing is the means of show- ing the plan of construction or the method of assembling constructed parts. Consequently, abstract problems have been eliminated except in so far as they relate di- rectly to practical problems. Problems progress in the order of their difficulty from orthographic production, through auxiliary and sectional views, to isometric pro- jection, machine and architectural drawing. It is an aid in the study and later use of engineering knowledge that mechanical drafting finds its place.
I would suggest that extra curriculua activities in art
133
NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
be encouraged in the schools and that drawing contests be fostered. Several awards have been made to high school pupils from the judges of the Massachusetts Hu- mane Society and the winning posters exhibited in the Boston Public Library.
For your co-operation and interest and that of all the teachers may I express my cordial thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
EILEEN V. DOWD, Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Mr. A. O. Christiansen,
Superintendent of Schools:
Music is progressing very favorably.
A class in Music Appreciation has been organized in the high school. It is hoped that by offering a selec- tion of good music and interpretations that much can be done to instil the love and enjoyment of music of lasting quality and beautiful harmony.
There is also a marked interest in band music. A plan is under way whereby with the help and co-opera- tion of parents a school band will be organized. It is not enough to raise money for the purchase of instruments but children who wish to become members of the band must be urged by parents to take instruction in the use of the instrument selected. A school band would add greatly to our music interest and give to the children of Randolph an opportunity in this field of music now com- monly found in school systems everywhere.
Respectfully submitted,
ROSE G. HAND, Supervisor of Music.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS. REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of Randolph, Mass .: Gentlemen:
My report for the year 1929 will not necessitate one of any great length, but to my mind it is one which should be most satisfactory and encouraging to all parents.
No closing of schools or losing of school sessions were necessary. This alone shows us that we were free from all school epidemics.
I have not known of one case, however slight it may have appeared, to be overlooked and each one was care- fully followed up and reported to me.
We still have on record and probably always will have a certain few cases of Impetigo-Contagiosa, and Perdi- culosis. This is not alarming and by watchful care has been kept under control.
Each child whose weight and physical condition was not up to normal has been carefully watched and a follow- up record of them kept even through vacation months. Upon re-examination of these cases good results have been noted.
During the school year 185 children were sent to me for special examinations at my office.
Again this year I ask the parents to work in co- operation with the school nurse and teachers regarding the health of your children.
Fresh air-good food-exercise-rest. These are the first and most essential things to be thought of for your boy and girl. These alone assure health and with-
135
NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
out health your child cannot carry on his or her school work.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board of Health, our Superintendent, Teachers and School Nurse, for their hearty support during the past year.
Respectfully yours, GEO. V. HIGGINS, M. D.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Randolph :
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the By- laws of the Turner Free Library this, the fifty-fourth an- nual report is submitted, showing the condition of the trust, consisting of the building, library and funds, to- gether with the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer and so much of the reports submitted to the Trustees by the various committees as seems of general interest.
The Library Committee reports that the books, charts and furnishings are in good condition. All books belonging to the library were accounted for by the Li- brarian.
The Building Committee reports that a substantial
137
NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
amount of work has been done upon the building includ- ing the caulking of the window frames and the installa- tion of new front windows in the store premises in the south side to make them correspond with those in the north side. So far as can be ascertained, at present the building and roof are weather-tight, but repairs to the in- terior including the re-decorating of the entrance hall and other rooms are badly needed. An appropriation of $500.00 is requested for interior repairs, including re- decorating, and for such exterior repairs as may from time to time be necessary.
The Ethelwyn M. C. Cox Fund has continued to demonstrate a high degree of value and usefulness.
The Librarian's report shows more books and maga- zines loaned than during the preceding year, and an in- crease both in the use of the Library by the pupils of the schools in connection with their work, and in the interest shown by the younger children, all of which are gratify- ing.
The Trustees take this opportunity again to express their appreciation of the excellent and loyal manner in which Miss Sarah C. Belcher, the Librarian, and Miss Eunice L. Belcher, the Assistant Librarian, have carried on the work of the library.
The report of the Librarian showing in detail the doings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the Library, the report of the Treasurer show- ing the investment of the funds and the receipts and ex- penditures of the Library, and the report of the Finance Committee are hereunto subjoined.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Turner Free Library for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The Library has been open to the public three hun- dred and four days. Twenty-six thousand, two hundred and five books have been loaned, also two hundred and fifty unbound magazines. Two hundred and eleven books have been added during the year, making a total of thirty-one thousand, four hundred and seventy-five.
The number of pupils using the library for reference work increases each year.
We need more books for the younger children. Those added this last year have been read over and over. We hope to accomplish this soon.
The Librarian wishes to thank her able assistant and the Trustees for their interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
SARAH C. BELCHER,
Librarian.

NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Board of Health
The following cases of contagious disease were re- ported to the Board during the year 1929:
Measles
9
Scarlet Fever
22
Mumps 18
Diphtheria
5
Influenza (with one death)
55
Tuberculosis (with three deaths) 15
During the past year many complaints were received from residents of Mill Street, relative to the dump situ- ated there.
Upon investigation it was found that rubbish, gar- bage and other objectional matter was being dumped on the sidewalk and in the street, causing not only a nuis- ance, but a menace to the health of those living in the vi- cinity. This site has been closed as a public dump.
Owing to the greater part of the town being on the water shed of the water supply of the towns of Randolph, Holbrook and Braintree, a site for a public dump was not readily available, however, we have an offer of a loca- tion for a dump off Lafayette street for the sum of $250. a year, including the care of same, and we recommend that money be raised and appropriated for this purpose.
In the absence of an elected Board of Health, the Selectmen have been acting in this capacity. We feel that there is a great need of a physician on this Board and we recommend the acceptance of Sec. 1 of Chap. 41 which provides for the election of a Board of Health (for a three-year term) one of which shall be a physician.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD W. MACAULEY, WALTER F. STEPHENS, JAMES H. HURLEY,
Board of Health.
