New equipment has been purchased for the Science


-103 --


Department, so that now there is ample material on hand for a course in either Chemistry, Physics, or General Science. An oil stove was recently acquired and we expect soon to have classes in Home Economics preparing some hot dish for our daily luncheon period. This work must be carried on in a small way, at present, because of inadequate room. A course in Mechanical Drawing is planned for Freshmen boys during the last half year and such instruction in Woodworking and Carpentry will be undertaken, as the cramped conditions of our present environment will allow.


I think it is an undisputed fact that the limitations of the Academy building, as it is at present laid out, are inadequate for the needs of a well-organized high school in a town the size of Duxbury. I dare say there is not a factory in use in this county, or even in the state, which is as old and has received so little attention in regard to keeping its internal organization and equipment abreast of the time. It is imperative that we, of the older genera- tion, think of the children of the present. They are the ones who suffer from our personal predjudices of inac- tion. The schools are for them and their welfare should be our first consideration in determining a policy. Whether it be a renovation of the old building, or the construction of one entirely new, a common ground for discussion should be found and an honest, openminded course pursued, so that the pupils of Duxbury may enjoy the birthright of every American child and receive a high school education equivalent to that of any town in the state. There is progress in the field of education as well as in the industrial world. We surely would not try to teach a boy to become a weaver in a modern factory by starting him on an old-fashioned hand loom. Why not be consistent in his education along other lines,


No report would be complete without mention of the teachers-those untiring workers whose loyalty and co- operation has made progress possible. I am unusually fortunate this year in having assistants who work to-


-104-


gether like the members of a well-organized football team. They tackle every task with a smile and before they quit, carry it through to completion. Their motto seems to be, "To Help," and they are on the job as long as there is anyone to be helped. I commend them for their sympathy, loyalty, and industry.


Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. GREEN,


Principal of the High School.


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


To the committee and superintendent of Duxbury Schools :


I am glad to report the music department in good running order. The necessity for placing the fourth grade in Tarkiln Intermediate School has added difficul- ty to my task of keeping uniformity of instruction for all grades of the same rank throughout the town, especially as the fourth grade belongs, musically speaking, with the younger children, but we are doing our best under con- ditions assigned us.


Music at the High School is entering into its own, and becoming a real part of the school life. We are handi- capped by crowded quarters for the chorus, rickety benches, and unspeakably worn-out piano, but for all that I believe the time and effort spent for chorus music is worth while, if only for the community and school spirit fostered thereby.


The new plan of an occasional program of entertain- ment given by each class in turn has been a spur to musical interest. We have been extremely fortunate the last four years in having members of our High School faculty who can and will take an active part in our music;


-105-


their interest and enthusiasm have added materially to our moral support.


The experiment of a course in music appreciation- music background might describe it better-was elected by a class of about twenty. More would have joined but for conflicting classes. Some no doubt, were actuated by curiosity as to the nature of the new course and soon dropped out, but the majority are still with us, and if only a few trusties remain to finish the year's work, it will have been worth while to give it in order to round out their eight or ten years of technical and theoretical in- struction in music.


We are much indebted to the Village Grammar School for the use of their phonograph, and I have double use of the records bought, by carrying them down there occasionally and playing them for the four assembled grades, with very little comment, hoping thus to whet their appetites for more later on. A course in appre- ciation would be easier to give with a Victrola, as the Victor people have made a specialty of records suited to such work, and next year we are hoping to have one in our High School.


All our graduations last June went off smoothly. The suggestion that the two Grammar School programs be combined was made too late to be practical, but this year, if considered desirable, it could be done, and I should be glad to further the idea to the best of my ability.


Parents of the little children seem to like the some- what fantastic musical programs, which I have arranged the past two years for closing day, and the little folks get them ready with great enthusiasm. For them, I be- lieve it best to have the exercises in their own schools, as they are easily frightened by strange surroundings, and many mothers can come there who would not be able to get to a central location.


Last spring the Village Grammer School put an enter- tainment for the benefit of their cocoa fund and small miscellaneous needs. It was designed 'primarily for


-106-


amusement, and was not in the nature of school work, nor did it consist entirely of music, but the program con- tained some musical numbers, and I wish to mention it because the young performers were such a credit to their teachers.


We understood that there was a popular demand for a musical social again this year in Island Creek Hall, and we had made our plans to hold one, but had to give them up on account of the epidemic which closed our west-end schools.


Teachers and pupils all seem to be working together harmoniously on the whole, a condition much to be de- sired. I thank them all for their courtesy and interest. Respectfully submitted,


REBECCA PHILLIPS


Supervisor of Music, Duxbury, Mass.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent and School Board of Duxbury :


I have made the usual visits to the homes of school children and to school sessions during the school year and continued the home and follow up visits during the vacation period. A class of eighteen girls in the High School passed the examination in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, and received their certificates from the American Red Cross.


There have been many cases of Measles and Chicken Pox which will be noted in the report of the Health De- partment.


I have received assistance from the Duxbury Nurse Association and the Red Cross in carrying out the health work for the schools. The Nurse Association paid (from a special fund) for the removal of tonsils, that were diseased, from several children. They also reimbursed


-107-


me for transportation of a child to the Union Training School for Boys. The Red Cross has assisted by giving clothing, health posters, and the cards and stars used in the primary and grammar schools. The Red Cross completely clothed one pupil who was transferred to the Plymouth County Hospital at South Hanson.


As there has been no discount for school children this year at the School Dentist's office, the children have been going to their different family dentists, and I have been unable to keep an accurate list of those treated. I am sure there were many.


I have made visits as follows :


To homes of school children 1,007


To school sessions 398


1,405


Respectfully submitted,


ANNIE L. WILLIAMS, School Nurse.

Report of the Selectmen


To the Citizens of Duxbury :


Your board of Selectmen make the following report :


Agreeable to the vote of the town at the last annual meeting. The road on Union and Congress Streets has been constructed in connection with the State and County, and accepted by both. The expense of construction being $15,000 divided equally between State, County and Town.


We will ask for an appropriation at the March meeting to extend the construction as far as possible with the wish to reach the State Road at Millbrook corner.


School street was completed from Elm Street to Tremont Street at Island Creek Post Office at an expense of $6,863.37 Alden Avenue and the small section of road at the triangle at Millbrook Corner have been laid out and will be ready for the action of the voters at the annual meeting.


We were unable to obtain a truck from the State Dept. this winter for removing snow. We were fortunate to be able to hire a five-ton Mack truck from Powers Bros. of Brock- ton to which we attached the State's plough. By this method we feel we can keep the streets passable.


The financial statement of the various departments will be found on the following pages.


Respectfully submitted,


SIDNEY C. SOULE WENDELL PHILLIPS ALFRED E. GREEN


Selectmen of Duxbury.
