The attendance has been quite irregular in some schools largely because of the inclement weather and illness, but per- haps not more so than usual.


The teaching of music in the villages has been in charge of Miss Mary Kiley, whose report will be found appended. It seems evident that the system of musical instruction now em- ployed is productive of better results than those formerly in use. When the condition of a few of the smaller schools has been improved, as it easily can be by the employment of proper means, the town will have an excellent school system fully justifying the liberality shown and the care bestowed.


Thanking you for your cordial support and assistance, and the citizens for their kind appreciation and co-operation, this report is respectfully submitted.


E. W. GOODHUE,


Superintendent of Schools.


VOCAL MUSIC REPORT.


Mr. Goodhue, Supt. of Schools,


Dear Sir :- Entering upon my duties as Supervisor of Music in the public schools of Williamsburg and Haydenville, only five months since, the result of the first term's work is just beginning to show itself.


Perhaps it would be well to give an outline of the method now used in your schools. There are two elements in music- time and tune, taught by imitation, dictation and represent- ation. No books or charts used during the first three years ; the regular grade teacher must be prepared for the work, and by the supervisor. Time is taught by imitation, not by analy- sis, which method has prevailed for the past few years, and the individual sight singing, which teaches the children to be independent, as independence is the bedrock of the system.


The most important aim in the music teaching is to have the pupils able to read music at sight and alone. Why ? Be- cause to do this it is necessary to understand all the principles in time and tune thoroughly. This result can be obtained only by constant drill. The concentration and self-control of the pupils, derived from the individual singing, manifests it- self in all his recitations.


There is a great improvement, since the first of the year, in the way the individual work is done. There are about thirty children in a room, and it takes almost five minutes to hear them sing individually.


The pupils of the upper grades are showing more interest and I hope this will continue to increase.


31


The Williamsburg High School has done much better work since the new books have been received. It is my plan to take a few of the good singers from this school and form a glee club, having a rehearsal one afternoon a week possibly, after closing time. I trust the time is not far distant when we will have new books for the Haydenville High School. At present there are not books enough which makes the work unsatisfactory.


Before the end of the year, however, I hope to see great improvement in all the grades. In the Skinnerville school where music has never before been taught, the pupils are doing good work, considering the short time they have had the ad- vantage of a special teacher.


In closing, I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to the grade teachers for their co-operation with me in the work.


Respectfully,


MARY V. KILEY.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


For the Year Ending February 1st, 1903.


To the Citizens of Williamsburg:


We herewith submit our annual report, and include with it the reports of the Superintendent, Music Teacher and Tru- ant Officers.


The High Schools have been in session forty weeks dur- ing the year, as required by law, and the other schools thirty- six weeks.


Two scholars from the Town of Chesterfield have attend- ed the High School, and tuition has been received for them.


The transportation of the children furnishes a large item in the expense of the schools, and the Committee have been trying the experiment of having some of the higher grades taught in the smaller schools, so that the children need not spend so much time on the road, and the money saved from transportation could be used in securing better teachers. In practice this plan has been found to be a failure. The smaller scholars fail to receive their share of instruction, while the larger ones lack the stimulus of being in a class of fair size. Where a school is closed, as South Street, the transportation of the children in that district becomes a necessity. The large class to go to Northampton High School will be likely to increase the amount needed for transportation. The fol- lowing repairs and improvements are noted:


The North District and Purrington Primary School build- ings have been painted, and the latter has received a durable roof of slate, putting it in first class condition.


40


This year new floors should be laid in the Center Inter- mediate and Haydenville Grammar rooms, and a new roof placed on the Nash Hill school house. Following out the plan of painting one school house each year, a plan in the in- terests of economy, the Maple Street Primary school house should be painted.


A conditional gift of land in the rear of the Center School having been received from Mrs. L. D. James, it is earnestly hoped that the town will comply with those conditions, that the children may have a much needed playground, and the appearance of the grounds in front of the Town Hall and School, which has long been disgraceful for a New England village, may be improved.


As we desire the same number of weeks schooling for this year that we had last, we recommend that the following sums be appropriated by the town:

Selectmen's Report.


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1st, 1904.


It is gratifying to find that the expenses have been kept within the amounts available for the different departments with the exception of the interest account, and that there is a balance of assets over our liabilities of $2,089.06, leav- ing out of the account the bond issue of $50,000.


The expenses of the Highway Department have been less than last year.


A new bridge has been constructed near F. L. Guilford's at a cost of $45.45, and is included in the amount expended by Williard Williams, surveyor, also one near E. P. Hem- enway's at a cost of $79.55, included in Mr. Hemenway's account as surveyor.


A bank wall was built in the village of Williamsburg, costing $112.66, and is included in the amount expended by F. W. Wells, surveyor.


A section of State highway was contracted for by the Selectmen and sublet to William Orlando of Belchertown, the grading of which has been nearly completed.


The bill of J. L. Mather for construction and repair of sidewalks, was considered excessive and will be adjusted later.


The sale of the water bonds issued by the town has been accomplished at satisfactory prices, the premium amount- ing to $2098 and accrued interest to $342.58, which can be applied toward paying the interest for the current year.


12


It is with regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Henry C. Smith, which occurred September 19, 1903. He was at the time of his death, and had been for many years, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, and was also a mem- ber of the Board of Water Commissioners. His self-deny- ing devotion, and conscientious labors for the best interests of our town will long be held in grateful remembrance.
