ANNUAL REPORT
music of the school room the music of the home, that the enthusiasm of the school singing should spread outside making the home more happy and contented. Much has been said of raising the standard of music and it is a great thing to talk about, but to teach well in school the songs that are common to the entire nation, to set a stand- ard of excellency in the rendering of these songs, will not only give a good music foundation for the future development of the individual, but will also tend to raise the standard of music in general.
In former years all that we attempted to do was to teach singing and if any one was found who could not sing, he was relegated to the scrap heap as far as music is concerned. To-day all is changed. The pupil who cannot sing may be encouraged to learn to play the piano or any of the orchestral instruments, or he may be taught to love music and appreciate it through hearing the phonograph, or the orches- tra, or even the singing of his own classmates. To-day we do not con- sider any pupil non-musical. Singing is taught because it stands first in its appeal to the greatest number. Formerly if a pupil could not sing he would say, "I don't like music," and one glance at his attitude during music would prove it. To-day he says, "I like music, but I can't sing." The reason he cannot sing is a physical one which only time can remedy, or a hereditary one which may or may not be cured. Nevertheless, though here and there you may find a pupil who cannot sing there is growing up in the city a host of children who love music who are fine singers and whose influence toward the making of a musical city is bound to be felt in the near future.
Grade Eight
In last year's report I spoke of the change I had made in the music courses of the graduating class. I have always felt that it was too bad to have a pupil leave school and not know some of the history of music, where it came from, how it developed, etc .; and I arranged this course to cover the most interesting parts of music history showing the development of vocal and instrumental music, the opera, oratorio, and symphony. Tracing the development of music in America from the landing of the Pilgrims to the present times, the history of our patriotic songs, what the Indians and the colored race have given to American music, etc. The interest shown by the pupils was so marked that I felt justified in continuing this course this year. This lecture course is in addition to the regular weekly singing period.
Grammar School Orchestra
The grammar school orchestra has been in existence two years and meets for rehearsal every Monday at four o'clock in the Sanford Street School. It is composed of those pupils in the grades who are studying orchestra instruments and all the schools in the center are represented by one or more players.
High School
The work of the High School chorus remains about the same as former years. The singing is always tuneful and the pupils appar- ently choose to sing because they like to sing.
The High School orchestra now numbers twenty-seven members. It has established itself in the community as well as in the school and is fast making a reputation as one of the best High School orchestras in the State.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. Lewis A. Fales, Superintendent of Schools:
We have had a successful year in the drawing department. In these days of opportunity we have had our part. In planning the work the thought has been, what service can we render. I believe that the highest kind of patriotic service we can render is to apply art prin- ciples in such a way that they will educate
We felt that we were meeting the demands of the times when we sent puzzles to Camp Devens, and responded to the call from the At- tleboro Chapter of the Red Cross for scrap-books for the soldiers in hospitals. In our zeal to accomplish, we have tried not to forget to train taste, to cultivate judgment and develop skill.
Many appeals are made through the medium of the poster, and it has had a prominent part in our work this year. The poster is educa- tional, practical and interesting. In it we study spacing, composition, lettering and color schemes. A telling slogan makes a very strong appeal to the children. Crude technique is expected in the lower grades but not a violation of principles.
Last spring the high school and eighth grades entered the State contest for War Savings Stamps posters. A few of our posters were excellent, some were good and many were poor. We didn't win any prize in this contest but the children did gain in their knowledge of poster work and it was done in a spirit of patriotism.
Some of the posters we have turned out have been for Conserva- tion, Production, Liberty Bonds and Red Cross needs. We also made posters for special entertainments. The need of publicity through ad- vertising is ever present, and we welcome the opportunity to prove the practical value of our department.
We have held grade meetings and as before, emphasized that whatever was done should be well done. The plan of teaching a few principles definitely in each grade and making the work progressive from grade to grade is showing results.
In September, one hundred and forty-six pupils entered the free- hand drawing classes at the high school. Just the same number that entered the year before. The need for real useful work has been an incentive to good work and I know that if in the future our projects can rise because they are needed we shall have a continued enthusiasm in our work.

REPORT OF THE TEACHER OF SEWING
Mr. Lewis A. Fales, Superintendent of Schools:
During the period that instruction in sewing has been given in our schools, the point in view has been and continues to be, to teach each girl before reaching the eighth grade, all the stitches necessary in plain sewing, and how to use them in patching, hemming, darning, gathering, sewing on hooks and eyes, putting on bands and making button holes, for we realize that power to do lies in the ability to apply knowledge acquired.
While it is true that a few girls get excellent sewing instruction at home, a large majority receive it only at school. It is hardly neces- sary for me to add that for those whose school education ends witlı the seventh or eighth grade, this work is as important for their train- ing in life as arithmetic, and for that matter, much of it involves the best kind of applied arithmetic in measuring and estimating.
140
ANNUAL REPORT
In planning for the sewing I have endeavored to make the work practical, having the girls make clothing for themselves and such articles as are used in all homes. Just a little fancy work has been allowed to vary the line of work and keep the girls interested. A pleasing feature is the desire of the girls to do sewing for the help of the unfortunate rather than for themselves. For the development of character, as well as skill in sewing, I think we should encourage this charity sewing. Hearty thanks are due to the many friends who, last spring, so generously responded to our request for left over pieces. By combining materials we made several small dresses, skirts, slips and night dresses, while the cuttings were used for snippings for pillows. Some of these garments were donated for the Belgians while others were given to needy children reported by the girls. We hope to do a larger amount of the same kind of work this year. Since September the girls have completed fifty Red Cross garments.
The sewing machines in the various buildings have greatly facil- itated the work and I would recommend the placing of one in both the South Attleboro and Tiffany Schools.
With the many demands on children's time, it is expecting too much to ask them to do a great deal of sewing at home except for im- portant reasons, and to accomplish the year's outline means close application during sewing hours. In nearly every instance the girls have shown themselves willing and industrious and to work with them has been a pleasure.

MINNIE A. WALKER.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
Mr. Lewis A. Fales, Superintendent of Schools:
The following is the report, with recommendations, of the school physicians for the year 1918.
The general health conditions of the school children from January, 1918, to the summer vacation were very good, much better than in many years. There were no epidemics of any severe nature except for some Liberty (German) measles. From September to the 31st of December, however, the schools have suffered greatly because of the epidemic of influenza. Many children have been stricken with the disease but the mortality has been low as compared with the adult rate.
Mrs. Walker, the school nurse, did exceptionally good work during her half of the past year, and Miss Bowman, her successor, has taken up the work very satisfactorily.
In regard to school inspections, we have attended to them as time would allow, the epidemic having interfered with a complete ex- amination.
It seems wise to us that in the future more time be spent on complete examinations of the first grade pupils rather than going over all the grades in a hurried manner, writing the same conditions on the medical inspection card each year, often to be disregarded by the parents. If we can give each new pupil a thorough examination, we shall have accomplished a valuable work for the medical care of the child and for its future growth, provided the parents will cooperate with us.
141
ANNUAL REPORT
There have been eleven free operations performed on the pupils having enlarged and diseased adenoids and tonsils, during the year. The Sturdy Hospital has been most kind in giving us the use of their operating room for this work.
We recommend the following:
1. The establishment of an open-air school for tubercular chil- dren.
2. A school room for backward children.
3. Lunch counters in some of the schools.
4. Some method of keeping flies out of the schools, and the screening of places where lunches are kept.
5. More physical training in our schools, such as setting up drills in the open air.
Each year we find that the majority of our recommendations at- tain no result. We realize that they cost money. So does disease. We wish to prevent disease and so save money eventually. "Why not now," to use a well known phrase. The health of our school children should be paramount and other cities are making these very changes for the betterment of their schools. Why can't we? Why wait until the State demands these improvements ?

CLASS SONG THE BLUE AND GOLD
Oh blue and gold our colors bold Unfurl yourselves today. The class of 1918 Starts bravely on its way.
Our school days here have ended now,
Passed quickly as can be,
And now but pleasant memories
They leave for you and me.
Beneath our colors blue and gold We've studied long and well;
Now where is there a better class
That ours can excel!
We've tried at all the languages,
French, German, and the rest,
English, Commerce and History, With these our minds are blessed.
Our class mates now must venture forth
To seek their course in life,
There'll be no kindly teachers then,
To help us in our strife, No matter where we chance to roam, In climates hot or cold,
"Deeds not Words" our motto is, Our colors blue and gold.
