In presenting my second annual report I would say that the work in drawing is being carried out in much the same way as it was last year. Drawing teaches the child to observe and to express. Like writing, it is plainly and practically useful to every child, being sure to strengthen his hands in any future occupation of life. It may be regarded either as an accomplishment, or as a means of livelihood; either as a means of raising the standard of taste in a community, or of giving skill and knowledge to those who minister to taste and refine- ment by the creation of beautiful forms, whether through fine or industrial art.
Taste combined with skill is an important basis of na- tional wealth. Nations with taste and skill control the world market in lines of artistic manufacture. The public must be capable of appreciating good work, for the supply will soon cease if there be no demand for it.
Drawing can be taught as easily as reading and writ- ing and a genius for drawing is not needed. Everybody cannot be made a perfect draughtsman, but all can be taught to draw a given object in correct proportion, and a great deal more.
Drawing from nature was taught in the fall in all the grades, free expression of its character being the aim. Landscape composition was also taught to give the pupils a knowledge of space relation. This knowledge was applied later in the primary grades to original illus- trated stories.
Drawing in the lower grades is primarily expression. It. must deal directly with social environment, and lend itself as a means and not as an end to the gaining of in- formation. It should be a part of the other subjects of
240
ANNUAL REPORT.
the curriculum, especially of Nature Study and Lan- uage.
The principal work in the grammar grades following the nature work, is printing, construction and design, working drawing, and the power to sketch quickly as well as correctly objects and nature.
In the High School students in the freehand classes draw from nature. From the plant forms, designs are made and worked out in materials of the students' own selection, such as tooled leather in the form of purses, card cases, lamp mats, etc. The designs are also applied to textiles by -block printing, and to copper and silver in forms of hat pins, brooches, etc. This requires ac- curacy and neatness on the part of the pupil and gives him pleasure in making something of use. The class also draws from objects and casts. The students in the mechanical classes are taught geometric problems, or- thographic projection, machine drawing, building con- struction, and lettering.
I thank the teachers, Superintendent, and Committee for their assistance and support.
Respectfully submitted,
JENNIE F. STRATTON.
REPORT OF THE TRUANT OFFICER
Mr. Lewis A. Fales, Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1906:
In summing up my work for the year I find that every child between seven and fourteen years of age, living in town, is attending some school unless his physical or mental condition makes it harmful for him to attend. I also find the same conditions regarding illiterate minors between fourteen and sixteen years of age, for
1
241
ANNUAL REPORT.
whom it is compulsory that they attend school until they can fulfill the requirements of the laws of 1906. I found four such minors that could neither read nor write work- ing in a mill; they were discharged and sent to school. There is a greater number of pupils attending the paro- chial school this year than last, and a large number of Attleborough children attending school in Rhode Island. I also find in nearly all cases that the manufacturers are anxious to secure certificates for all minors in their em- ploy.
The following shows in detail the work of the Truant Officer for the year :

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Attleborough :
During the past four months your physician has visited each of the fifty-four schools at least twice and the most of them several times. Of the 2197 scholars all have been examined as to their physical condition with the excep- tion of a few who were unavoidably absent. The sani- . tary condition of the seventeen schoolhouses has been in- vestigated, and the physical condition of the teachers and the qualification of the various janitors noted. The following table will give you a fair idea of the physical condition of the children of our schools. No attempt has been made to draw fine lines in diagnoses, notice being taken only of the most striking physical defects.
Perhaps a slight explanation of the table will be in order, that you may better understand just what is meant. For instance, there are noted 323 cases of throat trouble ; this includes all the mild and severe cases of enlarged tonsils, adnoids, chronic sore thoat, etc. Many of these need attention at once. While the majority are slight in character they are liable to become chronic, and a little attention at the present time will prevent trouble in the future. Of 183, under the head of teeth, all need attention. It will be noticed that the vast majority of
243
ANNUAL REPORT.
the cases are among the youngest children who have lost their first set of teeth and are liable to lose their second if immediate attention is not paid to this important part. It is not necessary to dwell upon the 161 cases of vermin except to emphasize the rule that all vermin must be exterminated from our schools. Thirty-one cases of anaemia are noted. All of these cases should be excluded from our schools, for what they need is good fresh blood, which can only be obtained by exercise, good fresh air, and appropriate treatment. The 33 cases of heart disease should be carefully attended to, both by the teacher and parents. In the High School there are 12 cases which are tabulated as not being up to the standard. These are in- dividuals who, while they have no distinct disease, are dull and have not the sprightly action of the other scholars. On being questioned they state that there is nothing the matter with them but they do not feel just right. Further questioning brings out the fact that they do not retire until after ten o'clock and often not until twelve. These cases need the attention of their parents, and are the ones for which the schools are generally blamed if the scholars break down during the school year. Another factor which acts as a detriment to the High School children is; that there is no way in which they can get a good lunch at the noon recess as too long a time elapses between their breakfast and the time they have their dinner when they reach home.
Taking up the sanitary condition of the school houses, we find that, with the exception of two, nothing more can be asked. At the High School the wash bowls are large iron sinks which should be replaced by sanitary wash bowls. There are 2197 children in our schools and there are provided for them forty-one cups, which are used by all the children except in three rooms. For example, the 541 scholars in the Sanford street schools have but four cups ; the 436 of Richardson the same number. This is a bad condition of affairs and should be remedied at once.
.
244
ANNUAL REPORT.
One case of diphtheria might contaminate a whole school. Either each child should have his own cup, or a drinking fountain which can be used by children provided. The health of the teachers is good with one exception.
In conclusion your attention is called to the fact that several of the children attending our schools are im- properly clad and some of them actually suffer from the inclemency of the weather. Again others do not receive proper food ; for example, seven or eight children in the Dodgeville school, between five and eight years of age, come to school without having had any breakfast. Of course this is the fault of the parents, but that does not make it any more comfortable for the children,and some- thing should be done about it, as children cannot be healthy under such conditions.
Respectfully submitted, G. K. ROBERTS,
School Physician.
