In concluding I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the pupils and teachers for their cooperation.


To the entire school faculty I extend my thanks for their ready compliance and kindly interest.


Respectfully,


GRACE M. LARKIN.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.


MR. E. W. GOODHUE, Superintendent of Schools :


DEAR SIR :- During the past year, I am sure, the chil- dren, especially in the upper grades, have made marked progress in their ability to draw.


Much time has been spent in leading children to study the objects to be drawn in the right way, to see them just as they are, and then to make expression of the same by correct drawings. Just this practice is what pupils most need, and here is where I can see that the most improve- ment has been made. Again, this year, we have worked less in color, much to the disappointment of the children, who love to work with colors. But in most cases, where much time is given to painting, ability to draw correctly is lacking. However, considering the few times we did work with the brush and paints, from the fall foliage some very excellent sheets in blending of colors were obtained. One of the leading artists of America has said, " If we teach the children to draw correctly, it will be comparatively an easy matter for them to handle the paints."


In the classes above grade six nearly all the time has been devoted to mechanical and constructive drawing. Working drawings have been made of buildings, summer cottages, public halls, etc., also various parts of machinery.


A thorough study has been made of the common brass water faucet. We have had the faucet sawed open to get the cross sections, so that the pupils might study the inside construction of every part. This has given valuable object lessons, especially for the boys. The girls also finished some very good sheets. So while I know we have not so much "show" work as is sometimes seen, I believe the quality of the work is the best that has been done.


I have observed that certain pupils in your schools have rather unusual talent in drawing, and could they have further instruction, am certain they would do well in that line.


Respectfully submitted, HELENA C. EVANS.

Selectmen's Report.


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1st, 1911.


It was voted at the last annual town meeting to buy a stone crusher. Your board of Selectmen after careful in- vestigation purchased a crushing plant of the Good Roads Machinery Company, which has given good satisfaction. Two sections of highway have been contracted for the past season, by the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and the Town of Williamsburg, by your board of Selectmen. The first section contracted for has been completed, and approved by the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and the same was constructed for the sum available for the same. The second section known as the Dug Way could not be finished owing to the lateness of the season. It was estimated that ninety per cent. of the work was done. The remainder will be completed the coming season.


We call special attention to the large and elegant drink- ing fountain for man and beast, a gift from Mrs. Helen E. James, to the Village of Williamsburg. We as a board of Selectmen wish to extend to her our appreciation, and we feel that we express the sentiment of the people when we extend to her their thanks for this generous gift.
