all concerned. The Superintendent is selected to have general oversight of school matters because he is presumed to be especially fitted for this by education and experience, and in a town like this most are willing to trust his judg- ment, a very pleasant condition of affairs, but he is still mortal and likely to err, sometimes in judgment sometimes because he cannot ascertain many facts known to others, and he most heartily welcomes the assistance which may come from the practical, interested citizen. He cannot
45
enter into the merits of all the minor disturbances which are continually arising in school, and must form his judg- ment of teachers largely by results obtained in the school- room. Personal prejudice can have no part in this judg- ment, and only the best good of all is to be considered.
No extensive repairs on buildings have been made, but some very desirable improvements have been completed, notably the connecting of the Maple Street and Purrington Schools with the water main and the placing of modern sanitary drinking fountains in the buildings. It is to be hoped that the same arrangement can be made at Skinner- ville soon.
There are certain repairs very much needed and that should not be long delayed. The seats and desks in the grammar and primary rooms at Williamsburg are in ex- ceedingly poor condition and hardly fit to use. They should be replaced with adjustable ones. The interior of the house at Searsville is unsightly and unsanitary. The disfiguring cracks about the ceiling should be filled in some way and the whole interior brightened with paint or some other suitable preparation.
Many of the desks and seats at Nash Street are badly out of repair and almost past mending. If new ones could be installed at the same time as at the Center it would be a profitable improvement.
The condition of the Central building at Haydenville is such as to threaten injury to the health of all pupils in the High-Grammar and Grammar rooms and cause much loss of time and needless expense. It is impossible to warm these rooms whenever the weather approaches zero, and it has been necessary to close the schools several times during the winter because of this. The difficulty is certainly not with the attention given the furnace, but probably due to loose construction of that wing of the building. It has also been found very difficult to properly warm the gram- mar room at Williamsburg Village, although the furnace is new and carefully tended. The water pipes in the base-
46
ment are constantly freezing, causing inconvenience and continual expense for repairs.
There is one further improvement worthy of consider- ation, though possibly not so emphatically demanded as those mentioned. The Skinnerville house is so located as to be very conspicuous to all persons passing, and its appearance and surroundings do not convey a very flatter- ing idea of attempts to make school surroundings attrac- tive. If this house could be painted white and furnished with blinds it would materially increase its attractiveness and make it an ornament to the street. The out-buildings also are not located just right and these might well be improved at small expense.
In closing this report your Superintendent desires to express his hearty appreciation of the cordial cooperation and assistance of all members of the School Board, of the earnest work done by the teachers and their manifest wish to carry out suggestions, and of the confidence in him and interest in his work shown by the citizens of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
E. W. GOODHUE, Supt. of Schools.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. E. W. Goodhue, Superintendent of Schools :
DEAR SIR :- Each year it is more evident that music is a very important subject in the school curriculum. It is a serious factor in the mental, physical and emotional devel- opment of the child and is as important in character mold- ing as any subject taught in school. Music has a powerful influence on a susceptible child. Hence great care is always employed in selecting song material that it shall be music worth knowing, within range of all voices, and that the words set to music will all awaken in the pupils the finer qualities of their nature.
47
Each grade has certain branches of theory work and songs especially adapted to their voice limitations.
The first grade pupils are able to sing a number of pretty melodies in exercises from the board, also poems and mother-goose rhymes set to music are sung exceptionally well. The children delight in being able to sing a story to you, rather than tell it in words unaccompanied by music. And it is a delight to hear how well the little people read exercises from the board at sight.
The second grade pupils read exercises involving more difficult intervals in reading and time. A number of rote songs are here added to their collection of song material.
In the third grades the pupils are reading exercises tak- ing in the new problems of time and tune scheduled for this grade. In four third-grades in this town we are using books, and in one of these grades they are singing splen- didly two-part exercises and songs.
The fourth and fifth grades are doing excellent work in two-part songs. The theory work in this grade consists of singing and reading chromatic tones as accurately as scale tones.
In the sixth and seventh grades we are singing selections in three parts from the best composers. The manner in which these songs are sung in these grades deserve much praise. The theory work here means real hard work in both tune and time problems.
Eighth and ninth grades in Haydenville are doing ad- vanced theory work and singing splendidly four part songs. This is the only place in the town where the eighth and ninth grades are in a room apart from other grades, which make it possible for them to obtain better results in the course marked out especially for this grade.
Throughout the whole musical course special attention is given to good tone production and careful use of the voice. In the High School in Williamsburg the pupils have good material to work on. Here we have an unusu- ally small number of boys' voices this year, and those we have are undergoing the period of mutation or changing
48
voice, which is a very trying time for the voice. However, a great deal of the song material is very well done.
The district schools are profiting greatly by their music, and specially good work has been accomplished in the Mountain Street school, where they are singing three-part compositions.
It is very gratifying to see how persevering the pupils are when trying to master a problem in music. Also to see how alert they are to employ any mark of tempo or expression which may appear in the song work.
.We are now preparing an "Operetta " by Herbert which contains some very pretty music, as well as many other pleasant features. We have spent a great deal of time different years preparing entertainments for the benefit of the schools. This year the proceeds are to be added to the standing fund with the expectation of purchasing a piano for the Haydenville High-Grammar room. The piano now in use in the Williamsburg High School, purchased through the efforts of the pupils and all who in any way assisted, is greatly appreciated by all who may have occa- sion to use it. We trust that our entertainment this year will meet with as marked approval and success as in former years.
The interest and diligent work of the teachers is to be recognized as no small part in the success of our musical work. To them as well as to the pupils and school officials I extend my hearty appreciation.
Respectfully,
GRACE M. LARKIN.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
Mr. E. W. Goodhue, Superintendent of Schools :
DEAR SIR :- The following report upon the subject of drawing I submit for your consideration.
During the last year more time has been given to indus- trial drawing in every grade, and the good results secured
49
are due chiefly to the fact that the grade teachers have taken so much interest in the subject. Each year sees an improvement in the teachers' ability to carry out the work planned, and thus the good results secured by the pupils easily manifested.
In the primary grades the drawing period is looked for- ward to with delight by the children. Nothing pleases them so much as to get hold of a brush and pretty colors. The results are often crude, but it is a beginning for better things.
Then comes the drill in measurements, cutting, folding and in simple design. At last, when a child has made something useful with his own hands, one can scarcely realize his delight, and the first question he asks is, "May I take this home ?"
If the parents would show their interest in what their child brings home it would do more to help him than any- thing a teacher could do, and the child will put his best effort into his next task.
Drawing in our public schools ought to educate the children to see truthfully. Seeing truthfully, or being able to form a correct mental image, is a foundation for every line of work. It may be a picture to be painted, a reading lesson, or a problem in mathematics, a child who is habitually inaccurate in observation shows the same carelessness in expression, whether by speech, writing or drawing. A well-executed thought-out drawing is a sure indication of excellence in any line of work. In the gram- mar grades we have carried the same general plan of work along much the same as last year.
The fourth grade has taken up free-hand lettering, design, and made an illustrated booklet of "Silhouettes " with suitable text. In the fifth grade we go on with free- hand lettering-the ability to make quick free-hand letter- ing is important and useful. In this grade they learn how to sketch and make booklets on "Picture-Making," giving an early history of drawing. At the end of the year some useful article is made with applied design. 4
50
In the sixth and seventh grades the important work of the fifth year is reviewed, then fore-shortening is studied, also geometric problems and simple working-drawings. We make some article drawn to a scale and add an appro- priate design. We design and cut stencils and apply them to shopping-bags, sofa-cushions, etc., etc.
In the eighth and ninth grades the principles of perspec- tive are studied, and objects are drawn to illustrate the same. A little time is given to work in color and design. However, it seems best that we should give most of the time in these grades to advanced constructive drawing. The various geometric problems are worked out, and ma- chine details studied, and finished working-drawings made of the V-thread screw and the square-thread screw on a large scale, also the hexagonal bolt-head and nut at dif- ferent views, various kinds of pulleys, and gears with teeth in mesh, etc., etc. Architectural drawings have been made of simple houses, as three views of a house, consisting of a kitchen, sleeping-room, living-room, bath- room, hall, pantry, front and back piazza. The pupils show much interest in this last branch of work, but one of these drawings takes a great deal of time, as they are worked out to a scale.
I would like to state here that the pupils in the last two grades have been greatly inspired in their constructive drawing by the great interest you have taken in their work, and I have been encouraged and helped by the sug- gestions you have given along the lines, also by the hearty co-operation of the teachers.
Respectfully submitted,
HELENA C. EVANS,
Supervisor of Drawing.
