The work for the rest of the year will include object drawing, working drawings, landscape drawing, design and nature drawing.
There are two divisions of the Freshman class in the High School, one for freehand drawing and the other for mechanical drawing. The freehand course includes nature drawing in pencil and color, color theory, design, object drawing and some study of Egyptian art. The mechanical course includes practice problems for use of instruments, lettering, geometrical problems, and pro- jection.
There is a class of Sophomores in mechanical drawing. Their work includes lettering, projection, sections and inter-sections of solids.
The Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors work together in freehand drawing. Their work so far has been land- scape composition and tooled leather. The rest of year will be spent upon object and cast drawing, and metal work.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF WRITING
Mr. Lewis A. Fales, Superintendent of Schools:
With pleasure I respond to your request and submit my second report as Supervisor of Penmanship.
The art of writing, when executed with the cramped finger action, is purely mechanical and under such a process any script becomes useless, whether the writing be of a slant or vertical style .. But if practical results are to be considered, the large muscles known as the Deltoids. must be employed, and when this is done, the writer must use altogether too much mental force to call the writing purely mechanical.
Some one has summed up the true situation confront- ing any supervisor of penmanship, in such true and vivid style. that I take the liberty of quoting it :
"There are right and wrong ways of using the plane, the spoke-shave or the chisel in the sloyd class; there are right and wrong ways of using the needle and hold- ing the work in the sewing class; there are right and wrong ways of holding and using the pencil in the draw- ing lesson. The teachers in these branches of manual training are not successful until the right way of holding and using these various tools are not only taught, but are actually learned and acquired by the pupils.
"There is one right way, and there are many wrong ways. of holding and using a pen; there are right and wrong ways of sitting at a desk, and of placing the paper in relation to the writer's body. A teacher is not successful until she has so trained and drilled the chil- dren that they assume the right way from habit when- ever the pen is taken in hand. Superintendents and principals have erred at this point. They have looked for and demanded only results, forgetting that before
250
ANNUAL REPORT
really good results can be expected, a correct method must be established.
"Teachers have worried over these requirements until it seemed that there was no time for right ways and means; but that they must struggle helplessly on. seek- ing impossible results. The watchword in teaching pen- manship should be 'Patience.'
"We do not expect to teach all of arithmetic in the fourth grade. If we can show good results at the end of the ninth grade we are content. Penmanship cannot be taught in one or two years. On account of the undevel- oped condition of the muscles and nerves of the arms and hand, this is utterly impossible."
Teachers everywhere are apt to be criticised for the poor results in penmanship. Such criticism would be just if the teachers themselves had been taught properly.
In a good-sized city of this State the supervisor of penmanship took the trouble to ascertain how many teachers had been properly trained in penmanship. He found three out of two hundred and sixty. These three teachers received their training outside of public schools.
Perhaps no more timely opportunity may be given me to speak of the most pleasing experience I have had while connected with my present position in regard to the teachers. Some time ago I offered to give evening lessons that teachers might learn to use the large muscles while writing. My offer was quickly accepted and a good-sized class was speedily formed. This was a purely voluntary move on the part of the teachers and no greater tribute can be paid any supervisor, or the subject he represents, than has been paid me by the members of this class. With this kind of spirit on the part of the teachers and the enthusiasm manifested by our pupils, the progress we are making is highly satis- factory.
Allow me to extend my sincere thanks to the School

Committee and to the Superintendent of Schools for the cordial support given me, and to the principals and teachers for their untiring efforts to promote penman- ship in our schools.

I wish to thank the many friends who have so kindly assisted me in the work of benevolence in the past year. There is not so much obstinate truancy, and the com- plaints along that line are growing less. Yet there are

many things pertaining to school attendance that neces- sarily come to my attention and occupy my full time when school is in session.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Attleborough :
During the past year, your physician has kept in closer touch with the different schools than in previous years, and he has a more comprehensive knowledge of their condition than heretofore.
It gives him great pleasure to state that many of the schools have voluntarily adopted his suggestion of sup- plying their own cups and pencils. It would most cer- tainly be a good idea if it could be adopted in all the schools. The same remark would apply to the towels and it is encouraging to be able to report that some of the schools have also adopted the individual towel plan.
The examinations this year have been more thorough than in previous years and yet the condition of the scholars seems to be about the same, with the exception of the teeth.
The test this year has been that if one bad tooth was found the mouth should be condemned. Going by this test, there were found to be 519 children in the schools who were suffering from bad teeth. This is an unfor- tunate condition of affairs and the parents should be made to realize the importance of the subject, as bad teeth may be the focus of almost all the diseases to which the flesh is heir.
There have been three epidemics of contagious dis- eases during the year : Mumps 57 cases, measles 75, and scarlet fever 31, all of which were mild in character and none of them fatal. There were nine deaths during the year, one of them from diphtheria.
In closing, your attention is called to the fact that your teachers are beginning to show the effects of the large classes of which they have charge and there is cause to feel that more than one will be nervously exhausted before the close of the year.
255
ANNUAL REPORT
There is urgent need of suitable grounds in which the children may play. None of them get any more outdoor exercise than they need and it is a shame that they do not. The health of the children is of far more importance than the embellishment of the school yards.
Respectfully submitted,
G. K. ROBERTS,
School Physician.
