Song-singing is the most important phase of the vocal work. About one third of the time is devoted to singing songs that have been correctly learned, merely for the sake of the aesthetic satisfaction that comes from taking part in the reaction of beauty. There is no way of adequately estimating its value to the open- ing exercises or the assembly gathering where it begins the day's work with an inspiring song. Nor is there an adequate way of expressing its value at the dull, trying, depressing, heavy period where the atmosphere is charged and when trouble threatens. Mass singing always clears the atmosphere and puts the student in the attitude for work.
The enthusiasm, the tone quality, and the interpre- tation manifested in the song work from the kindergar- ten throughout all the schools is very interesting and of a high standard. I recall several instances where boys and girls in the eighth grade volunteer to sing in duet and quartet before the entire school for special programs. And during the adolescent age it is usually difficult for all pupils to express themselves, especially boys, in singing.
220
Music reading is by far the most difficult problem in vocal music. In order to read music intelligently one must keep in mind the key signature; must take in at a glance groups of notes standing for definite pitches; must note the shape of each note so as to give each note its correct time value; and must observe the measure sign and the bass so as to accent correctly. Moreover, he must do all these things at a fixed rate of speed, with no faltering, no retarding, and no stop- ping, because of complications which may unexpected- ly present themselves. In addition, sing the words with correct pronounciation, and follow the various marks of expression that call for change of speed, power etc. Truly a process of great complexity ; and ex-president Eliot of Harvard College may well be-cited as saying that music is "the best mind trainer on the list."
In order to do these several things at the same time, training on separate elements of the process is found necessary. First the rote singing in the kinder- garten and first two grades stores the mind of the pupil with a rich stock of musical experiences and gives him some vocal ability. In this way the mind registers whole series of experiences involving pitch, time, rhythm, etc., and although these things are not ana- lyzed or even consciously observed by the child, they nevertheless form the background of musical exper- ience which is not only desirable, but absolutely indis- pensable, if the pupil is to become interested in his later work and intelligent in doing it.
In the second grade the child is first introduced to staff notation by being shown "pictures" of songs previously learned by rote (songs taught in the first grade are duplicated in the second grade text book) and taught to recognize music symbols in these fami- liar songs. This pattern song method makes an easy step from rote to note. After several familiar songs
221
have been sung with syllables, new songs are attempt- ed. It is desirable for many reasons to learn the dif- ferent characteristics from genuine songs rather than in abstract exercises. Features embodied in the songs are confirmed by drill, individual singing, written and oral dictation, but no problem in the theory of music is taught until it is discovered in the songs. Through this same song process a few new problems in sight reading are added in each grade.
The new text books, Music Education Series, are go- ing to help realize this new song method in the Brain- tree Schools. These text books do away with the old time steady upward climb in music study, due to too rapidly accumulating difficulties in music reading. Enough music material is supplied in which technical features are introduced, one at a time and with res- traint, so as to allow the child to proceed confidently on one level until he is thoroughly prepared for the next higher level of music study, which he reaches with the assurance and satisfaction that result from the joy of achievement.
A report on the success of this method in the Braintree Schools will hardly be possible until the books have been in use in all the schools at least a year. Last year only a few classes were equipped with the Music Education Series. With the new year, 1926, we begin with these text books in every school in town.
With the coming of the radio the demands for music appreciation are greater than ever before. To find enjoyment in the reception of broadcasting of the world-wide artists an understanding of the best class- ics is essential. To meet this social need it is important to stress the making of intelligent, creative, and ap- preciative listeners.
222
Several of the schools have raised money for the purchase of many fine records which make a splendid start in training appreciative listeners.
The vocal music in the High School includes one period a week in assembly singing for each class, a short period for boys four-part chorus, and a volunteer girls three-part chorus. In the general chorus there . is a marked improvement in the tone quality and abil- ity to interpret the spirit of the selections rendered. The students who sing in the special groups show most excellent ability in reading music and I hope that in the near future this standard of sight-reading may be attained in the general chorus.
A creditable performance of the operetta, "Sylvia" was given by the High School with three assisting sol- oists in April. This gave the school an opportunity to show what a selected group of singers could present in solo, duet, quartet, and chorus singing.
I close my report with an attempt to show how music helps to bring about "social efficiency", a much discussed phrase in Education today. In training the boys and girls to perform in music we help furnish one one of the most wholesome means for proper spending of their leisure time. The play time of an individual is quite as important as the work time-sometimes more important so far as its effect on character development. is concerned. If a child acquires a love for the best. in music and literature while in school he is not likely ever to devote his leisure hours in questionable plea- sures and activities that unfit him for work. Where can we develope a stronger team spirit and a more clearly defined group consciousness than in group sing- ing? It is the very symbol of democracy. It is an activity in which each part is essential to effect the whole. And last, music trains for unselfishness, be- cause he who has it must give it away, the more he
223
gives the more he has. It is another case of finding one's life by losing it, because, after all, it is only what we share with others that we really have.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
January 2, 1926.
Mr. C. Edward Fisher, Superintendent of Schools, Braintree, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir: I take pleasure in making the following report of the health work carried on in Braintree schools.
After a careful examination of about 2400 school children by the school physicians, it is gratifying to see the response to medical treatment. A great many of the children's defects would have passed unnoticed had it not been for the skillful attention provided by the Board of Education.
All children are weighed and measured twice a year and records kept. Those children who are under ten percent in weight are watched closely and weighed more frequently.
About eighty percent of the school children at the present time are supplied with milk, which science teaches is par-excellence of body builders.
The girls of the eighth grade in the schools are taught mothercraft, which not only enables them to appreciate the responsibility of their sex, but gives them the opportunity of helping to care for the chil-
224
dren in their own family, and that of others in the betterment of health principles.
A careful survey by the dental clinic has done much for the improvement of health by the necessary attention which has been given to teeth and proper mouth hygiene.
Visits to homes have been made when necessary. and advice given where the necessity of medical at- tention seemed wanting.
Talks on health have been given in the schools, which I am sure must prove a valuable asset in coor- dination to the ethics of the principles of education.
Children are watched closely for communicable diseases, and for anything that is found of a suspicious nature, the child is excluded from school.
In closing I wish to thank the school committee, the superintendent of schools, principals and teachers, for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPHINE D. CARSON.
