Report of Supervisor of Art


Mr. John A. Whitehead


Superintendent of Schools Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir :


Reporting on the Art situation in Duxbury, I feel con- fident many of our aims are being accomplished.


One aim has been to make children enjoy the beautiful -observing things around them and feeling free to ex- press their ideas by drawing and painting without self consciousness and without fear of ridicule.


A second aim has been to make Art a live subject, tying it up in an interesting way with the Social Studies, Eng- lish and outside activites. In doing this, the child's out- look has been broadened-carrying discussion into the home, where parents have also been drawn into a closer contact with their children. The classes have chosen · countries to study-one taking Russia-another Switz- erland - others Holland and Mexico. Transportation both by land and water was chosen by one class and shore birds of many kinds have been drawn and studied by another class. Whole classes go out sketching, learning about shadows, reflections, colors and perspective. Holi- days have not been neglected - Christmas cards, place cards and window illuminations have been made. When- ever posters are needed to help the community, they have been designed and executed by several of the classes.


236


With the older pupils, water color, figure drawing and modelling in clay have been started under very trying conditions. The classroom is crowded and used by three other classes. The work shop atmosphere necessary for the best work is not present, but the pupils like this work and it should not be denied them because of lack of ade- quate facilities. The basement of the home making house could, with a few alterations, be made suitable for this work.


Your Supervisor hopes the enthusiasm of the grades will carry on thru High School and that the students will feel their lives have been enriched by the work we have been able to offer in the various courses in Art.


Respectfully submitted,


ELLA B. HEBBERD,


Supervisor of Art.


237 Report of Music Supervisor


Mr. John A. Whitehead


Superintendent of Schools


Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


With the introduction of a new system of music read- ing in the grade schools, it is difficult to determine the exact progress made this year. However, the children seem to grasp the new vocabulary and approach readily enough, and we have high hopes for the future. Our aim in providing each child with the skill he will need to read music at sight is one of the "near" goals. Success is the right of every child and successful singing is not the chore it once was thought to be.


Our major problem in this area of work has been the differing text books. In the present system, the youngster becomes independent in the second half of the second grade. That is, he can pick up any song of his level and learn it easily without the help of his teacher. The newer books recognize this objective; the older variety seem to insist upon providing so-called "helps". Also, too many very easy songs are provided; there is little chance for real progress.


The second phase of the music education program is tremendously important-and difficult to carry out under present conditions. This is the music appreciation or discriminative listening. Here we can do so much as


238


equipment is built up for this purpose. In each class- room the teacher attempts to correlate various subjects. Music can be of tremendous value in this respect. While we study a country, we talk about its history, geography, the character of its people - why not hear its great music? In many cases some songs can be learned but these activities need to be supplemented by the playing of records. At the present time our record library is not adequate but we have been fortunate in being able to borrow them from another system. This will have to be continued until such time as we are able to build up our own supply.


There have been many changes made in the Junior and Senior High School, and therefore, we are in a state of transition. However, we are going forward, we like music-and that is half the battle. With better room arrangements, more material and some records for this level, too, we would be able to stride forward at a great pace, under our banner : "Democracy through Music."


Respectfully submitted,


EMILY P. LAWRENCE,


Music Supervisor.

Report of Physical Education Supervisor


Mr. John A. Whitehead


Superintendent of Schools


Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


Physical Education, through sports and games, is an integral part of the daily program, activities being pro- vided in which all are required to participate and through which health and vigor will be promoted. Such rightly directed group play also develops desirable social quali- ties and character traits.


OBJECTIVES


The following general objectives are stressed in the program of Physical Education in each grade of the Duxbury schools :


1. To stimulate the proper growth and health of the adolescent child through big-muscle activi- ties.


2. To develop coordination, control and grace of bodily movement, and alertness and quick re- sponse.


240


3. To develop qualities inherent in leadership.


4. To develop good sportsmanship in victory as well as in defeat.


5. To create in early youth an interest and ability in Physical Education which will provide a fund of activity material for use in leisure time.


THE POINT AND TARKILN SCHOOLS


During the fall months story plays, mimetics, elemen- tary games and relays were taught in weekly classes which were held out-of-doors when weather permitted. In door classes consist of developing a sense of rhythm as well as a continuance of the out-of-door program.


VILLAGE SCHOOL


In the playground classes the boys and girls of the third and fourth grades are taught elementary athletic games such as kick ball, dodge ball, long ball, etc. Through these games individual habits of good form in skills as well as strict observance of game rules are stressed. Because of the indoor limitations in the Village School, the inside program here is inferior to that of the other buildings.


GRADES FIVE AND SIX


A wide variety of preliminary games including new- comb, netball, tag ball and end ball have been taught with the purpose of developing the more complex skills neces- sary for the sports of higher organization such as volley ball and basketball which are introduced in the seventh grde. Calisthenics, individual stunts and rhythms are also interspersed throughout the program.


241


GRADES SEVEN THROUGH TWELVE


In these grades the boys and girls meet separately for two class periods each week. In addition the varsity squads have after school work while the others are mem- bers of intramural teams which practice and have games after school. The boys in these grades are under the di- rection of Mr. Sewall and Mr. Bassett.


Correct body mechanics are greatly stressed in the work done with Danish Gymnastics. The exercises given are based in each class upon the particular needs directed by the school physician in his physical examinations.


Emphasis is placed on the correct techniques in the seasonal sports of field hockey, football, volley ball, bas- ketball, softball and baseball. At the present time the promotion of individual sports is limited because the necessary equipment for such games as tennis and bad- minton cannot be purchased in the proper quantity or quality. My ultimate aim is to give the individual some sport which will give a direct carry over into adult life for social efficiency and the enjoyable use of leisure t.me.


Respectfully submitted,


CAROLA ERB KAPFF.


242 Report of School Nurse


Mr. John A. Whitehead


Superintendent of Schools Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


I submit herewith the report of the School Nurse for the year 1945.


In looking over the past year, the same large problem emerges that has been present for several years. Ap- proximately two-thirds of the High School students need dental attention and have needed it for some time.


The causes for this appear to be several.


1. The students themselves either are not inter- ested or are violently opposed to going to the dentist.


2. The parents are not interested.


3. Transportation has been difficult.


4. There is no dentist at present in Duxbury.


Basically this would seem to boil down to a need for education of students and parents in the reasons for and benefits of proper care of the teeth. In the elemen- tary schools we have the free dental clinic for those


243


unable to pay, which in the spring completed work on 12 children; we have the dental honor rolls and the monthly competition for the banner awarded for dental health; and health talks at inspections always include something about dental care. The results warrant the time spent.


However, reaching the interest of high school students is another matter. Talks have been tried, both in assem- bly and privately by both the dentist and the nurse. In- terest of the parents has been tried for when the nurse has spoken at P. T. A. or other meetings, and all reports have endeavored to be educational.


Still there is heard the horrifying statement by stu- dents, "I'd rather have all my teeth pulled than have them filled. False teeth are much less trouble."


Obviously the answer has not been found and the co- operation of everyone concerned will be needed before it is found.


School nursing involves a sufficient variety of duties to need a full-time person, so it may be understandable when a part-time person in the position has many prob- lems trying to work in a little of everything. Certain fundamentals are the assisting with the annual physical and dental examinations on each child and sending home notices of defects found; psychometric and physical ex- aminations on children entering school, including obtain- ing histories, making appontments, and arranging trans- portation; routine monthly inspections on all elementary school children, vision tests and assisting the teachers with hearing tests on all children, maintaining First Aid kits in the schools and giving First Aid when necessary.


There were 135 office visits.


244


In the intervals between the above activities come others. A class in Red Cross Home Nursing is given to the girls in Ninth Grade Home Economics in cooperation with Miss Hazel Cornish, Home Economics teacher. Four certificates were awarded in the spring, and another class of eight was started just before Christmas vacation. Transportation is provided for the free dental clinic which must now go to Dr. Dyer in Plymouth each week. Children recommended for chest x-ray at the time of the physical examinations are taken to Plymouth County Hospital for this purpose. There were seven of these this year.


Home visits are made to sick children or as requested by parents for advice. There were 124 of these. The nurse also answered questions about her work and some of the local health facilities at a meeting of the Citizen- ship class at the High School; and participated in Par- ents' Night with a few exhibits and a brief talk about the school health program.


In the spring a new office was arranged for the nurse in the women teachers rest room off the balcony of the gymnasium. The advantages of this location are: It is more private than the thoroughfare to the principal's office, it is quiet except for classes in the gymnasium, and there is a place for an ill student to lie down.


The disadvantages are: it is crowded both for the women teachers and for the nurse, especially if the nurse wants to work longer than the usual hour in the morning, the amount of heat is uncertain, lack of it having inter- fered several times with plans for vision testing, it is too noisy and crowded for physical examinations in the fall, and there is the problem of having boys present for


245


First Aid or examination if any of the teachers wish to come in.


In short there is not an adequate nurse's office.


Respectfully submitted,


SUSAN E. CARTER, R. N., Duxbury School Nurse.

Report of School Physician


Superintendent of Schools


Duxbury, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


The routine physical examinations and special exam- inations of the eye, ear were carried out as usual this year. There were no unusual physical findings beyond the average run of defects. A report of all defects found was made to the individual parents. The annual pre- school clinic was held in June at which time the children were given a physical examination, psychometric exam- inations and Small Pox Vaccination on those whose par- ents desired it.


I have recommended to the School Committee that the scope of the work of the School Physician be increased. It would be ideal if the school physician could be at the schools a few hours on one day of each week during the scholastic year so that adequate examination of all the school children could be done and other special work done as it came up.


Very truly yours,


C. H. KING, M. D.


247 Report of School Dentist


Mr. John A. Whitehead


Superintendent of Schools Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir:


The program of the Dental Clinic is divided into two main classifications :


1. Regular school dental examinations and visual education.


2. Treatment at the Dental Clinic.


Careful examinations of the school children this year showed a decided improvement in the elementary grades. In the High School, however, there is still an urgent need for more dental attention. During this critical ado- lescent age, the causes of this deplorable condition may be :


1. Calcium deficiencies.


2. Excessive sweets.


3. Infrequent visits to the Dentist.


The Dental examination cards which are sent home should stimulate the parents to insist upon their children going to the Dentist regularly. It is hoped that by read- ing this report, the parents will become more conscious of their part in this all important program of health in our schools.


Recent newspapers have reported that fluorine in the water may be a definite aid to dental decay. According


248


to the latest research specialists, however, it will be some time before actual results and values of these experi- ments can be determined.

Report of Parent-Teacher Association


The Duxbury Parent - Teacher Association has en- deavored to present a series of programs in keeping with the objective of bringing the home and the school into closer relation. The executive board suggested "Devel- oping the School Program in Duxbury" as a theme for the year. The plan is to show what our schools are doing, how we may enrich our program and what is the possi- bility for the future in Duxbury.


On March 1, 1945, Mr. Walter Scott showed a movie on the value of education in dollars and cents. The Chair- man of the School Committee explained the 1945 school budget.


The April meeting on April 26, 1945 was preceeded by a very successful Smorgasbord supper under the di- rection of Mrs. Carl Santheson. Mr. William Campbell spoke on "Compulsory Military Training in Peace Time." This was followed by a general discussion.


In May, Mr. Baer, Connecticut State Dept. of Educa- tion, spoke on "Regional High Schools." Several repre- sentatives from neighboring towns were present.


During the Spring, a series of educational movies were shown by Mr. Scott.


The well child conferences have been conducted by Dr. King and Miss Carter.


250


The first meeting of the Fall season was held on Octo- ber 18th at the High School. An excellent membership supper was enjoyed, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Hodgdon. Mr. John Whitehead, Superintendent of Schools, spoke on "Parents and Teachers."


Dr. Roy O. Billett, Professor of Education at Boston University, spoke on the "Changing School Program" with reference to post war conditions as affecting our schools, at the November meeting.


On December 13th, 1945, a group of teachers under the chairmanship of Miss Ellen Downey, demonstrated general education in Duxbury. The importance of social studies, mathematics and the communication skills was shown.


On January 17th, a group of teachers with Mr. Charles Sewall as Chairman, conducted an exhibit with high school students demonstrating special skills in art, sci- ence, home economics, industrial arts, and commercial fields. A panel discussion followed.


The Association extends a cordial welcome to all par- ents and others interested in the welfare of the children and youth of Duxbury.


Respectfully submitted,


ALDEN H. BARTLETT, President.
