The High School Chorus, numbering one hundred and forty members, meets once a week for one period, Considering the large number and the limited time al- lotted, results are very favorable. The Principal, Mr. Gilgan, takes the attendance and disciplines the class which is very helpful. Credit is given accordingly.

ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNUAL REPORT


The High School Band and Orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Burke of Brockton, are doing very good work. The band has a membership of thirty-five and the orchestra twenty-five students.


Mr. Burke suggests that if the pupils would become more interested in the clarinet, flute, etc. results would be even more satisfactory. The orchestra also could use to advantage more students able to play the violin, cello and string bass.


Mr. Burke makes these suggestions in the hope of building up both organizations.


I take this opportunity of thanking the members of School board, the teachers and you, Mr. Christiansen, for the hearty cooperation I have received.


Respectfully submitted,


ROSE G. HAND


Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


Public schools should more and more encourage the study and appreciation of art ideals. Without such an education the beauty of the better things in life is lost. It is through art that ideals, character and the appre- ciation of beauty is more highly developed. One need not necessarily be a connoisseur to realize that art enters into every phase of life. Our shopping centers and win- dows reflect the touch of artistic symmetry. How to select clothing, to furnish a home or to choose any well designed commercial product are questions which. the study of art will greatly assist in their proper solution.


People make a great mistake in thinking of child art as merely a preliminary stage to adult art. It is a thing in itself, quite shut off and isolated, following its own laws. Art temperament among school children is increasing with the utmost rapidity. This is evident, by the progress made from year to year by the pupils in our schools. It is important that the child be started correctly. Every child with a growing art knowledge from the first grade through the finishing years of school will have his eyes, mind, and hands attuned to the thous- and and one beauties which nature displays everywhere, often hidden from those who do not have this training. This is sufficient reason why our pupils should have art as a subject in this curriculum.


It gives me the utmost of pleasure to see the splendid work being carried on in our schools. Our annual exhi- bition held last June received the highest commenda- tions from many. The work was carefully executed, each

individual's effort was strongly portrayed, both in color and proportion. It has seemed good to see such an out- standing amount of interest shown in the art work of the pupils of the Randolph schools.


My deepest gratitude, I extend to the teachers, prin- cipals and the superintendent for the assistance accorded me, in executing my formulated projects.


Respectfully submitted,


RUTH C. LENNON


Supervisor of Art.

189


ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNUAL REPORT


The Taunton Traveling Clinic came to Randolph and examined six pupils who were retarded in their school work. These pupils were placed in Grades recommended for them by the clinic Psychiatrist.


This year our school children with the exception of grades one and two had their hearing tested with the Audiometer.


1413 children were tested.


230 children were retested.


46 children were found to have defective hearing.


Parents of these children were notified of the defect and were advised to consult their family Physician.


Through the kindness of the Chamber of Commerce one hundred and thirty-eight children received milk each day in school.


Our School Dentists, Doctor Smith and Doctor Maguire had a busy year and they deserve much credit for the large number of children they treated during the year.


In closing my report I wish to thank the School Committee, the Superintendent, the School Physician and Board of Health for their kind cooperation during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


HELEN F. CONLON, R. N.


School Nurse

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


Another school year in the lives of our school chil- dren has closed. This past year left us one of the best records in regard to health that the town has known in many years. No epidemic such as suffered in other towns has occurred here; outside minor colds, our children have been physically well. Numerous small accidents were reported; none, however, of a serious nature.


I feel that great credit should be given to our school Nurse and to our teachers for being on the alert to avert sickness.


During the past few years I have felt that our High School boys were engaging in football games with High School teams far beyond us in numbers, weight, and size. There were many accidents during the past season: one or two severe brain concussions, and several badly sprained knees and ankles. Football is a very strenuous game; it would seem to me that although boys naturally desire to seek glory on the playing field, the element of danger to life is an important factor for consideration when games are being scheduled.


It was unfortunate that our local Board of Health did not see its way clear to have the Toxin-antitoxin clinic held in June. If a board of this nature is too busy with other matters, it would seem to me that power might be delegated by them to the School Physician and the School Nurse; and I am quite certain that a large number of parents would have availed themselves of the opportunity for those children who have not already been given the injection.

ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNUAL REPORT


Report of Trustees of Stetson School Fund


For the past twenty-five years, the income from rentals in our Stetson Hall have been sufficient to cover ordinary expenditures and to have enabled our Trustees to add to the Trust Fund created by Mr. Amasa Stetson. This fund at one time amounted to around twenty-two thousand dollars. By vote of the town, alterations in our hall and the opening of town offices on the lower floor were made. While the town aided with part of these expenses, the Trustees were called upon to pay quite a large share for this work. The fund was reduced by these changes to around twelve thousand dollars. At the present low rate of interest of this invested fund, it will. be necessary for the town to appropriate from time to time various sums of money for the upkeep of this building. There was a change in the investment of Stetson School Fund during the past year. Webster and Atlas Bank Stock, and Lawrence Gas Stock was sold and a bond of the Boston and Albany Railroad purchased. In Mr. Stetson's gift to our town he made it evident that he wished the building kept in perfect repair.
