The High School orchestra at present consists of ten members, some of whom are showing talent in playing their chosen instruments. Much spirit and ability are displayed at the weekly rehearsals, and I hope there will be an oppor- tunity for a public performance before the close of the year.
Instrumental music appeals strongly to certain children. The time for this instruction will never be better than when they are in the formative period of their life, in the elementary schools. Realizing this an effort has been made to meet the appeal for the study of orchestral instruments from two of the large schools by offering class lessons in some of the string, brass, and wood-wind instruments.
We are handicapped in all branches of the music study for lack of adequate music material; rote-song books for all primary grades, a supplementary book with two and three- part songs with easy bass for upper grammar grades; also chorus, glee-club, and orchestra music for High School.
Another great drawback is the schedule of time arranged for music lessons in the seventh and eighth grades. Anyone who has studied music realizes that unless there is daily drill it is almost impossible to make sound progress.
In concluding I wish to say that much serious effort has been spent in trying to place the music study in the Braintree Schools on a sound educational basis. I appreciate heartily the splendid co-operation of the committee, superintendent. principals and teachers.
Respectfully submitted.

SCHOOL REPORT
Mr. C. Edward Fisher, Supt. of Schools, Braintree, Mass. Dear Sir:
It gives me pleasure to submit my first report on the Art Work in the Schools of Braintree, beginning September 1921.
Since my work began in Braintree, I have developed in the grades representation, free hand cutting, and con- struction of some practical and useful forms. Color work is empahasized in each of these and is particularly well placed in the fall when so much may be learned from actual ob- servation.
Project work, simple in character for the lower grades, makes its appearance as opportunities occur, especially in connection with holidays.
A slight acquaintance with mechanical drawing is , attempted in the higher grades, consisting of a few geometri- cal problems and working drawings, for the purpose of be- coming familiar with the handling of mechanical tools as well as for clear and independent thinking.
At the High School a few pupils are interested in several subjects offered by an art course, such as object, figure and landscape illustration in pencil, charcoal, and color; interior decoration, cartooning, arts and crafts work. mechanical and architectural drawing. The course is intended to help, direct, and encourage any pupil in what- ever phase of art he is most interested.
In closing I wish to thank the Superintendent and the School Committee for their sincere support, and the teachers for their co-operation and willingness in carrying out the lesson plans.
Respectfully submitted,
Athalie Hobell, Supervisor of Drawing. January 1, 1922.
Mr. C. Edward Fisher, Supt. of Schools, Braintree, Mass. Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report as School Nurse for the year 1921.
Of the nine schools under my supervision, I have made a total of 294 school visits, having made 12591 individual examinations. I have had to make in connection with them, 369 temporary exclusions, for various reasons, such as parasites in the hair, itch, Scarlet Fever, Measles, etc. In connection with the schools, I have made 135 home visits.
108
have taken 40 pupils to the Boston Dispensary for minor operations, such as removal of tonsils and adenoids and dental work; have taken 55 cases to Tuft's Dental Clinic; have also given thirty-three first aid treatment for cuts, bruises, boils and the like. .
MOTHER CRAFT
I have two classes of mothercraft at the Jonas Perkins School, two at the Noah Torrey, one at the Penniman, and two at the Hollis. In this study for girls of the eighth grades, we have had many instructive sessions in Personal Hygiene, Home Sanitation, care of the newborn baby. first aid treat- ment.
In the interest of the health of the public school children ' I feel that a medical examination made of each and every child with a written record thereof, these physical record cards passing along with the child from grade to grade would make possible more effective supervision.
Respectfully submitted. 4
