ARTHUR G. SCOBORIA, M. D.
North Chelmsford, Mass., January 1, 1918. Mr. Walter K. Putney,
Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :
I respectfully submit the following report of my annual inspection of schools in Precincts II and III, made during the months of September and October. The whole number in- spected was 465. The following cases were found :
Diseased teeth, 100; pediculosis, 33; defective nasal breathing, 39; enlarged tonsils, 40: anemia, 6; condition sub- normal, 31; adenitis, 29; mental deficiency, 14; impetigo, 4; heart lesion, 1; diphtheria, 1.
During the whole year, pupils are constantly referred to the school physician for inspection. When necessary, he acts in conjunction with the Board of Health to prevent the spread of contagious disease. Health cards must be issued to every pupil before employment can be obtained.
Yours respectfully,
FRED E. VARNEY, M. D.

MUSIC AND DRAWING.
Miss Adams gives us but three days a week and those are very busy days indeed. I think that her work has been con- servative and thorough, and the teachers appreciate the results they are able to obtain under her supervision. We hope to hear more about the new high school orchestra, mentioned in Miss Adams' report, and enjoy some of their work.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. Walter K. Putney,
Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir :
I respectfully submit the following brief report of music in the Chelmsford schools.
New ideas and devices are constantly being studied and used, though the general plan of the work has changed but little from that of last year.
One important phase of public school music is sight sing- ing, enabling the pupils to read music easily at sight. In the low grades, much is gained along this line by individual work. The introduction of "Baldwin's Progressive Melodies" has improved the reading.
In the High School, it is necessary to have two choruses, no room being large enough to seat the entire school. I al- ternate, taking one chorus each week. Thus, fortunately, the pupils have music but every other week.
A High School Orchestra has been organized. It is doing splendid work. The time taken for this is wholly outside of school.
I thank all who have helped to make my work a success.
Very respectfully, M. MARION ADAMS, Supervisor of Music.
Miss Atwood's report, in which she gives us a little idea of present day aims in her department of work, is very interest- ing and show the value we are getting for our expenditure in drawing. I have watched her work with interest to see the introduction of much practical work in the grades and High School, and I know that the pupils are taking a far greater interest in this subject.
116
REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR.
Mr. Walter K. Putney, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :
Everybody in America should know a great deal about industrial art, for America is a great industrial nation and it is of the highest importance that the things made here should be as beautiful and as worthy as the things made in any other country in the world.
Therefore, an effort is being made to reorganize courses in drawing all over the United States, and to start children with the correct training to make an intelligent demand for better goods from our shops and factories; or, if their talent and training place them in a position to create, to lead the public taste above the common manufactured product so often found in our shops. Our aim in the drawing course is to help the child appreciate the beautiful in every-day life. Commer- cial art is what we make it, and if the demand still comes for ugly furnishings, they will continue to be manufactured.
Most grades are visited once a week, but some can be visited only once in two weeks. Two days are spent at the High School where the drawing course is required of the Freshmen and elective in the upper classes. The same general course is followed in all grades. Nature drawing, in connec- tion with color theory and design, construction and applied de- sign, object drawing, perspective picture study and composi- tion, and simple working drawings are made in the upper grades.
I wish to thank the committee, superintendent and teach- ers for their help during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JESSIE ATWOOD, Drawing Supervisor.
117
OUR NEEDS.
I hesitate about recommending too many things which would rightly come under this caption. There are, however, a few needs that I should like to emphasize.
First, the High School is greatly in need of apparatus and equipment for carrying out the scientific courses. Thanks to the wise choice of the ones who bought the furniture for the new high school, we have two exceptionally good laboratories fitted with tables, sinks, hoods, etc .; but when we came to look over the old apparatus and equipment of the high schools at the North and Center, we found that we were sadly lacking in material. Our teachers have shown good spirit in the way they have handled classes thus handicapped and I commend them for their work; but if we are to get the most out of the teachers, we must give them the materials with which to work.
During normal times, I should recommend painting the walls and kalsomining the ceilings of every room in the Prince- ton School and Center Grammar building and also certain other rooms as we could afford.
I should also recommend, in normal times, the replacing of all curtains in two or three of the schools. This is not the time, however, with all the expense this town must face, to do anything that is not absolutely necessary, and so I shall recom- mend only the purchase of about a dozen curtains for rooms where the sun beats in and actually injures the eyes. This means that we must sacrifice looks for comfort, at this time, and therefore I trust that any that who have noted the condi- tion in certain buildings, will bear with us in this matter and remember that we shall do our best this year on a "minimum repair" basis, and then when the proper time comes, I shall ask that we have these things done.
I should also recommend that outside painting be done only to such buildings are are being actually injured by lack of paint.
At the Princeton Street school, I should recommend that a walk be constructed between the rear entrances of the two
.
118
buildings. As conditions are at present, the children are obliged to go into the old high school basement for the use of toilets, and the mud between the two buildings is often above the shoe-tops,-a condition which I am sure can be remedied by constructing a walk approximately sixty feet long and six feet in width.
If we are to keep open the South Row School, I should recommend that the toilets be replaced so that the pupils will not be obliged to go out of doors to get to them. This ought not to cost but very little and the expenditure would mean a great improvement in sanitary conditions there. At this school, also, there is great need of a new stove, a new teacher's desk, new blinds, and a few adjustable seats and desks for pupils.
At the East School, the chief need is that of fixing the water supply so that it can be depended upon. At present, it is almost impossible to get an adequate supply of water, ac- cording to the report of teachers and janitor. The pump has been repaired several times, but I should recommend that this be replaced by some system that will give satisfaction.
An Invitation.
I wish to urge parents and friends of the schools to make frequent visits and learn of the good work that the children of Chelmsford are doing. You little realize how much good is done to the pupils themselves by such visits. Children al- ways like to know of your personal interest; they feel encour- aged to take hold and work much harder after you go; teach- ers like to be encouraged, also, and they are always apprecia- tive of any advice regarding individual pupils, as that advice comes from the parents; as superintendent, I can see direct results from both teachers and pupils after parents have visited school and come into touch with the work.
119
Conclusion.
In concluding my report, I wish to thank all for the gen- erous support accorded to me during this first six months that I have been here. I have appreciated that support and shall endeavor to put forth my best efforts to continuing the work in the Chelmsford schools toward the highest possible plane.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER K. PUTNEY, Superintendent of Schools.

Class Song
Birds are singing, bells are ringing,
This is Graduation Day.
Hearts, once gladdened, now are saddened
For we now must wend our way
O'er the road we all have longed for,
O'er the rugged road to fame,
Steady toiling, steady striving
For the life we have to frame.
School days, flying, find us sighing For the time has come to part.
Years together cherish ever,
Stored by Mem'ry in the heart.
Teachers faithful, Classmates loyal Sadly now we say goodbye, As the road to life out yonder Calls for those resolved to try.
We will ever fondly favor . Our Class Colors, gold and blue. In our hearts we'll always treasure Daisies with their yellow huc Upward climbing, climbing ever, To our motto we'll be true, Striving nobly till we conquer Tasks we've set ourselves to do.
CHORUS
Farewell ! Farewell ! Sadly must we say. Farewell ! Farewell ! On this parting day. Farewell ! Farewell ! As we go our way. We bid you fondly adieu On this Commencement Day.
Edna Lillian Daniels.
