Superintendent's Report
To the Citizens and Members of the School Committee :
The annual report of the Superintendent of schools is herewith submitted.
Williamsburg had fifteen schools in operation during the year of 1921. Only one school suffered from loss of time. At Searsville the school was closed for three weeks owing to an epidemic of scarlet fever. Two weeks of the time lost were made up in the Christmas vacation. Another week at the Easter recess will bring this school up equal with those that have not been interrupted.
New teachers were engaged during the year as follows : Mrs. Edward Bader, high school, was hired to take Miss Anna McDonnell's place ; When Mrs. Bader resigned, Miss Fannie I. Campbell, a graduate of Brown University was secured. Miss Josephine Cahill was appointed to the Third Primary at Haydenville, Miss Alma Smith to the Mt. Street School, Miss Rachel Hemenway to the Sears- ville School, and Mrs. Grace West to the First Primary School at Williamsburg.
In September there was a noticeable increase in the en- rollment in the schools in Haydenville, the smallest enroll- ment being thirty-seven and the largest fifty-two. This excepts the seventh and eighth grade room.
The High School has grown rapidly, the enrollment being the largest in its history. . There are eighty pupils attending at present. Plans must be made to add another teacher to the present faculty if we are to be able to carry out the high school course as it is designed.
67
Miss Merrifield's room has every seat taken, and there are only four left in Miss Dunphy's room to allow for the increase next September.
The course of study was changed last year in that a new method of teaching reading was adopted. This has been followed out in the second grade and to some extent in subsequent grades. Last summer the language and grammar course was revised, and the work in each grade made very definite. The formal or technical grammar is now being taught in the seventh and eighth grades where it is more easily understood and more quickly learned. The course in arithmetic is at present undergoing a series of changes which will adopt it to the present day needs of the pupils. Proposed courses in manual training and domestic science have had to be postponed for the present because of the high cost of equipment and teachers in these branches.
The work of the schools in music has been very success- ful. It is hoped that everyone will read Miss Warner's excellent report.
The law requiring each town to employ a school nurse became effective in Sept. 1921. As soon as possible after that Miss Lenihan was engaged through the Visiting Nurse Association to serve as school nurse for the Town of Williamsburg. The details of her work are included in her special report. We are fortunate in se- curing Miss Lenihan because of the excellent service she renders, and also because the cost by the present arrange- ment is much less than other towns are forced to pay.
The cooperation of the members of the school commit- tee, the teachers, parents, and children in the year's work were a great help and were greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted.
L. A. MERRITT.

SUPERVISOR OF MUSICAL INSTRUCTION
To the Superintendent and School Committee of the Town of Williamsburg :
It gives me great pleasure in herewith submitting for your commendation my report of music work in the schools for the year 1921. This year has meant a great deal more for us than the previous year, and the work es- pecially in the grades is much nearer normal than last year at this time.
Music is regarded as one of the most important subjects to be considered in the public school curriculum. This subject has oftentimes had very little consideration but I do not know of a subject which can be made a greater power of development of the moral and intellectual facul- ties of a child. I have no sympathy with the statement so often made that many pupils cannot be taught to sing. We have instances in our own public schools of children who apparently were indifferent, who were monotones, or who were tone deaf, but it seems that the ability to sing depends on some natural power with which pupils generally are endowed. I believe it is possible to teach any child to sing and that every child is endowed with the natural power.
A great writer once said, "I love music because of the things which it makes me forget and because of the things which it makes me remember." But so often we fail to appreciate the power and influence of music. One might ask after hearing a selection, "What emotion does it stir? What lines of thought are aroused? What imagination does it provoke ?" or, in short, "What does the piece mean to me?" We, as teachers, should endeavor to have children show more ability in music appreciation. Ap- preciation is first aroused in the first grades and even be- fore entering school, children have felt the influence of music. With the Primary children, we naturally use the
70
music most appealing to the imaginative and rythmic stage of their development, story telling, descriptive songs, folk songs and dances.
Miss Purrington, Mrs. West and Miss Curry with their first and second grades, are all most successful with their little people in bringing out the imagination and rhythm. It requires constant effort on their part as a child at this age learns almost entirely by repetition, especially the foreign born or foreign speaking child.
All through the second primary, intermediate and grammar grades, we are endeavoring to bring about the influence of music appreciation. Our intermediate and grammar grades are thus far accomplishing very pleasing work. Difficult two and three part melodies are being done, which last year were deemed impossible. Especial effort has also been laid on the mastering of the seven time motions, which are so essential and also upon the chromatic tones and characters. These are both very neccessary for ready sight reading.
At present in the seventh and eighth grades we are taking up major and chromatic scale structure and a very general interest is noticed.
The High School Chorus meets regularly twice a week and it pleases me here to say that the work of chorus is progressing. We have been fortunate this year to be the possessors of new High School song books, by Callinan, and they are well proving their worth. The songs are of simple composition and within the range and ability of our singers. Here may I extend to Miss Merrifield my appreciation for her patience and ever ready assistance in the work of the High School Chorus.
Mountain Street and Searsville schools, both with large attendances deserve great praise in their work. The un- tiring efforts of their teachers are being well recognized.
And now in closing I want to extend to our school com- mittee, superintendent, and all the teachers, my appre-
71
ciation of the great interest and cooperation that is so heartily manifested in this especial subject.
Pupils, also, as a critic once said "Music is one of the highest achievements in the human intellect," may we continue our endeavor with this as our aim, and now I ex- tend to you my gratitude for your ready response and willingness at all times.
Respectfully submitted,
C. RUTH WARNER, Music Supervisor.
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. L. A. Merritt,
Superintendent of Schools.
DEAR SIR :-
I herewith submit for your approval my report as school nurse:
January 1st 1921, Miss Mary Edwards weighed, measured and inspected 372 children. During September and October, Miss Katherine Boland weighed, measured and inspected 372 children.
69 Children not vaccinated.
91 Children with enlarged tonsils.
58 Children with decayed teeth.
45 Cases of pediculosis.
Notes were sent to parents in regard to these defects. Until a second inspection is made, it will be impossible to know just how many parents have heeded the notices sent them, but enough reports have come in to show that at least a part of the notices have not been sent in vain.
72
October 15, Miss Katherine Boland resigned. Owing to the short time I have been on duty as school nurse my report must be brief.
Acting on the suggestion of Mr. Merritt and the School Committee, The Modern Health Crusade was introduced in the grades. Health Posters and Posture Charts were placed in all the rooms. Health readers and health songs make the work possible in the lower grades. Tooth brushes were bought and sold to the children at cost. Weekly visits have been made and short talks given on health subjects.
The inspection of the school buildings show the techni- que of the individual drinking cup carried out and paper towels used. The lighting system in the Haydenville school building is very poor. We hope that this can be at- tended to during the coming year.
Seventeen cases of impetigo and twelve minor cases cared for during November-December.
The work has not been satisfactory as it is to be de- sired, still the school authorities have been patient with mistakes made, and with the inability to cope with such situations as well and efficiently as they should have been handled. We look forward to the coming year when we hope to have things systematized.
I want to thank Mr. Merritt, members of the School Board and the teachers for the splendid cooperation and backing given to the work.
They never failed to follow suggestions or to enforce any rule which may become necessary.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY G. LINEHAN,
School nurse.
