Superintendent's Report
To the Citizens and Members of the School Committee.
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted.
From January 1 to December 31, 1923, Williamsburg had twelve schools in operation. Only one of these is a rural school and is located at Mountain Street. Closing of this school has been considered, but it was not consid- ered advisable to do so until the crowded conditions at Haydenville are relieved in some way. The way that seems best is to build a new central school at Haydenville where all Haydenville pupils could be brought together under such excellent conditions as could be provided in a new school building.
Only a few changes occurred in the teaching staff of the town during the year 1923. Miss Grace Bunnell, a graduate of North Adams Normal School, was elected to teach the first and second grades at Williamsburg when Miss Ethel Packard resigned. Mr. A. J. Clough, a gradu- ate of Boston University, who had been principal of New Salem Academy, was secured to carry on the work of mathematics and science in the high school. He took the place of Mr. Ralph Johnson, who resigned in June. Mr. Clarence Larkin, who was principal of the Haydenville school, resigned to accept a position as principal of the new grammar school at Hatfield. Mr. Edwin Miller of North- ampton was appointed to fill this vacancy. Miss Dorothy Jenkins was appointed as first grade assistant.
67
At the opening of schools in September we again en- countered an enrolment larger than the year before and probably the largest during the last ten years. Miss Pur- rington had 59 first graders which has made it necessary to employ an assistant at that school. This group will no doubt be larger next fall and should be divided into two distinct classes with separate rooms and two teachers. Miss Helen O'Brien is the assistant at this school. Miss Fay Page had a large school also, there being 46 enrolled in this fifth and sixth grade room. The smallest class in Hayden- ville was at Maple street, where 37 pupils entered.
At Williamsburg the first and second grade rooms in charge of Miss Bunnell had the heaviest enrolment. There have been 55 children listed since school opened. Here it was necessary to have help, and Miss Dorothy Jenkins was made assistant to Miss Bunnell. Other classes at Williamsburg have been large and a number of new seats have had to be put in to accommodate the extra children.
The number attending high school has been about the same. It is still necessary for some high school classes to be held in the auditorium.
Only minor changes have been made in the courses offered for study. It has been decided to make no more changes until the end of the present school year.
The usual work in music has been carried on with good success. While there have not been as many public enter- tainments given by the pupils as many of us would enjoy, the hard work of teaching fundamental musical facts has been very thoroughly done. Details of this work will be found in Miss Warner's report.
During the winter term of 1923, the school nurse had a very busy time when Williamsburg had a number of cases
68
of scarlet fever. For the rest of the year the routine work of the nurse was carried out. It was with regret that we learned of the resignation of Miss Lenihan, who had been our school nurse for two years. Miss J. Walsh served as substitute for three months. Since January 1, 1924, Miss F. Ploude has been our regular school nurse.
As stated earlier in this report each September brings to our schools an ever increasing number of pupils for us to care for and educate. Overcrowded conditions prevail at Haydenville and to a lesser degree at Williamsburg. Both villages need more school room. At Williamsburg this can be solved by building an addition to the present building. At Haydenville a new modern building should be built having at least ten class rooms and an auditorium which could be used as a gymnasium. Our present need is for eight rooms but some provision should be made for the increased population which a modern school would attract to Haydenville during the next five years.
Such a school would have several advantages over the present arrangement of buildings in addition to providing needed school rooms. One advantage would be that there would be only one heating plant instead of four as at pres- ent, three at Haydenville and one at Mountain Street. There would be only one building to care for instead of the present number. A new and beautiful school cannot help but add to the growth and prosperity of Haydenville, and mark a new epoch in success of this splendid village.
In closing I wish to thank the School Committee and all others who have helped the schools forward through 1923.
Respectfully submitted,
L. A. MERRITT,
Superintendent of Schools.

Music and Penmanship Report
To the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. L. A. Merritt.
The following report contains items relative to music and penmanship which may be of general interest.
Some very pleasing results in music reading, voice- training and interpretation have been shown the past year. The grade work has been superior to the past two years and more theory and fundamentals gained ; special stress being laid on sight and individual reading ; and we have boys and girls in the intermediate classes whose work is a credit to them.
The work of the little folks in the lower grades is ad- vancing rapidly in spite of the large attendances, and it is through the patient, untiring efforts of our competent pri- mary teachers that the little people do so well.
We have been very fortunate this year to be the pos- sessors of the new Music Education Series, edited by Messrs. Giddings, Earhart, Newton and Baldwin. We are using this series in the second, third and fourth grades in Haydenville and it is my desire to see a set of these books in the grades in Williamsburg. These books are well prov- ing their worth in both sight reading and rote song mater- ial.
I am not going into detail in the work of the upper grammar grades but the usual amount of work has been covered including more theory which is so essential in High School work.

Last April a cantata entitled "Strange Visitors" was given by about fifty pupils from the grammar schools in Haydenville. This was a very helpful and entertaining program. The enthusiasm and interest shown by the chil- dren in the preparation made it a great success and the amount realized was used for the purchase of Haydenville playground equipment.
The Mountain Street school has a splendid group of singers and owing to the large number and the faithful efforts of the teacher we are very proud of the work by pupils of this, the only district school.
As for the High School, regular chorus practise is held every week, with boys and girls Glee Club practise every week alternately. The chorus is good; there are excep- tionally good voices. The Girls' Glee Club, not handicapped by voice changes, is doing splendid work and is capable of a greater degree of accomplishment in dynamic effects than any other school organization. The Boys' Glee Club is really a new organization in the the school, and even though it is very unevenly balanced, promises success. Owing to the limited range of the young voices the extreme parts are often weak and must have proportionately more voices than the middle parts. Balance of harmony is what is wanted.
An orchestra of eight pieces has been organized in the High School since the fall term. Practise is held every week. The orchestra presents the problem of principal and second- ary parts, particularly of the second violins. These are just as important as any and should not be considered as an in- ferior group but as necessary to complete the orchestra.
Last May 1923 a Penmanship Exhibition was held in the center school in Haydenville and also in the H. E. James Hall in Williamsburg which showed more than I
73
have space here to say the achievements of Palmer Method of Writing in our schools. These exhibits, although poorly attended by the public were an incentive to the children and by the earnest efforts of teacher and pupil added improve- ment is being shown again this year.
In closing, I wish to extend to you, Mr. Merritt, the school committee, teachers, and all the pupils my hearty gratitude for your assistance and co-operation manifested in these special subjects.
Respectfully submitted, C. RUTH WARNER,
Supervisor of Music and Penmanship.
