On Dec. 10, 1925 our grades 5, 6 and 7 competed in a state-wide arithmetic contest in co-operation with the School of Education of Bos- ton University. I have not received as yet the state-wide results, though quite uniform medians in addition, subtraction and multiplica- tion resulted in our own grades with the exception of the fifth grades in multiplication. Considerable variation resulted in division and fractions and among the fifth grades in business problems. By median score for a grade in any subject, we mean, that there were just as many pupils who scored below the median score as there were other pupils who scored above the median.
The nature and variety of several problems attacked by the use of Standard Achievement Tests are shown in the following list:
1. Construction, evaluation and validation of tests.
2 Relation between intelligence and achievement, effort, elimina- tion, failure, persistence of vocational plans, and occupation of parents.
3. Diagnosis of special difficulties and errors.
4. Prognosis of success in various school subjects.
5. Classification and promotion.
6. General survey of school condition.
7. Evaluation of teaching methods.
8. Relative achievement of different groups.
9. Relative efficiency of conolidated and non-conolidated schools.
10. Amount of correspondence between different abilities.
11. Amount of retention of subject matter.
12. Guidance in the selection of courses of study.
13. General discussion of testing program.
14. Relation between class-size and efficiency of instruction.
15. Relation between time spent in school and achievemnt.
16. Measurement of teaching efficiency.
The above problems indicato the practicability and the wide use such tests may be put to in the improvement of instruction and the better administration of schools.
123
The employment of an additional teacher in both the East and Quessey schools, with the resulting reorganization of two grades to each of the four rooms in each building, has provided the opportunity for much better teaching and we believe that greater progress is now evi- dent in both these schools. Also the transfer of pupils from Crystal Lake, Groton Road and the West Chelmsford Road to the Quessey school has not only built up a real school there but it has also relieved the over- crowded condition at the Princeton school to a considerable extent. Besides, the transfer of the eighth grade and part of the seventh grade to the Princeton street school from the Highland Avenue school has relieved greatly the congestion in the Primary and the 5th and 6th grade rooms in the Highland Avenue school, thus making possible better work in the latter school.
TEACHERS
Through resignation last spring and summer we lost six teachers, who had given faithful and efficient service. This was a reasonably small turnover for a total of forty-seven teachers, however, such a change is usually a handicap to the schools, particularly when the loss of strong teachers is involved. It takes time for a new staff to adjust itself and the schools suffer in the process. Change will occur but our policy should be to make conditions of living, work and salary so attrac- tive; that superior teachers once employed, may be retained on perma- nent tenure. Our teachers are making good, and our other teachers, for the most part, are giving the same loyal and efficient service as in the past.
ATTENDANCE
The per cent of attendance, 94.5 for all schools last year is just about the same as for the previous year, which was the best record made in ten years. In the matter of tardinesses we cannot boast of the record made last year however. As a matter of fact, 1163 tardinesses for last year is 86.9% for every pupil in avenge membership, or nearly one for every pupil in membershihp. This is the poorest record for tardiness in the past four years and I trust all our teachers will strive to lower this record by at least one-third this year. We urge all parents to co-operatee fully with the teachers in order that we may succeed in training our boys and girls in the habit of punctuality as well as regu- larity in school attendance. We are this year making a particular drive to this end, by furnishing each teacher a mimeographed, "Sum- mary Attendance Report" for each month, so that each teacher may post the same in a conspicuous place in her room, and appeal to the spirit of rivalry or competition in her pupils to beat the record of other schools. I believe this is aiding considerably, since to date we have made a splendid record in almost all schools, except a few that have been seriously affected by some contagious disease.
HEALTH SUPERVISION
Study of the "Health Supervision-Summary," as compared with that of last year shows very good results from the medical examination. The total number of defects found this fall was 1203, whereis the previous fall, 1747 cases were found. Thus, making no allowance for pupils en- tering or leaving our schools during the year, this indicates a very real reduction of defects among our school children. Although the number of
124
"cases treated since last examination" or 982 was not as many as were treated during the previous year, when the number was 1222, yet it is very evident that parents are paying more attention to the reports of the results of the examinaion and the excellent "follow up" work of the school nurse. I am very glad to note so many pupils were treated for the following defects: Carious teeth, enlarged tonsils and adnoids, de- fective vision and children who were 10% or more underweight, since these defects are so frequently detrimental to the physioul and mental growth of our boys and girls.
One feature of our Health Supervision that has improved consider- ably, I believe, is that which the teachers themselves are responsible for. On the whole our teachers are more watchful and observant, under the advice and encouragement of the school physicians and school nurse, in noting the poor health habits of the pupils in their care. Most of the teachers, through better teaching, precept and by real constructive meas- ures, such as physical exercises and actual supervision of the play activi- ties of the children, are doing much to overcome faulty posture, both while sitting and standing, and many other improper health habits. However, a few of our teachers are not doing their full duty in the actual supervision of playground activities of their pupils. To our mind and under the law of the State, this is their duty just as much as to teach them the three "R's", "Reading, Riting and Rithmetic," and if they cannot appreciate fully this need and duty, I am not sure but that we should begin o think of replacing them with teachers who will do so.
THE SCHOOL PLANT
In the year just finishing we must all agree that Chelmsford citizens have responded nobly with respect to the improvement of our school plant. The new Center Grade Building has taken shape and it surely is a stately structure to behold as one passes through our town. The building committee and all who have had to do with the consummation of the project, have done their work and done it well, and will be de- serving of the highest praise of all our citizens and the future genera- tions that may receive their elementary training within its walls. I do not wish to use the space in this report to discuss the fullest pos- sible uses that this splendid building may be put to, as only one unit of our total school plant and so suggest that all read again the following topic: "Special Classes," "School Buildings" and "The Junior High School," which I discussed at length in my last year's report.
In closing, I wish to say that I appreciate exceedingly the wise counsel and loyal support of the School Committee, the kindly and sym- pathetic co-operation of the teachers, parents and pupils; as well as the splendid assistance of our different Parent-Teacher Associations, in our endeavors to make all our schools, the vital forces for good that they should be in our different communities.
Respectfully submitted,
Jan. 12, 1926.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
I herewith submit the annual report of the Principal of the Chelms- ford High School. I wish to present a brief statement of the conditions in the school, as I find them at the present time.
In summing up the work of the past year, I am certain that there has been a strong and steady growth in the standard of scholarship in the school.
I have endeavored to keep before the minds of the pupils the necessity of their making the school their chief business. I have tried to hold before the scholars the idea that a certain amount of work must be done, and that it must be done on time. It is necessary to insist that a certain amount of work must be done at home, and that this work should not be interfered with by other interests of home and community life.
There has been a marked interest on the part of the pupils as shown by the amount and quality of the work done. A spirit of endeavor and a desire to do the best they can, seem to impel each pupil to co- operate with the teachers in a very fine manner.
A marked decrease in the number of absences and tardinesses is an- other indication of the healthy conditions existing in the school.
The school seems to be about evenly divided between those desiring commercial subjects and those who wish to study those courses which fit for higher institutions of learning.
The telephone has been of great value in assisting the administra- tive work. It is being used every day in checking up with the home cases of absence and tardiness. We have been able to reduce several abences to a minimum time lost from school work. At other times we have been able to secure valuable co-operation from the home which could not have been secured otherwise.
The total enrollment is 201. The pupils are enrolled by classes as follows : 31 Seniors, 50 Juniors, 50 Sophomores, and 70 Freshmen.
Respectfully submitted,
LESTER F. ALDEN.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
December 28, 1925.
Mr. Charles H. Walker,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I respectfully submit the following report concerning the music in the Chelmsford schools.
The aim in public school music is to develop appreciation of good music, train the voice, and teach the reading of music.
Each year from grade one to the High School, definite principles are taught.
In the primary grades rote songs and rhythm are taught. This year through the efforts of the Centre Parent-Teachers' Association, top instruments have been purchased and a primary band has been formed.
The High School has two periods of chorus work once a week, but owing to the small room space every pupil does not have music every week.
126
There are two divisions in the Girls Glee Club, a Senior division composed of Seniors and Juniors, and a Junior division of Sophomores and Freshmen. The enrollment in the Senior division is 30; the Junior division is 60. The Boys' Glee Club consists of 40 members. These club alternate, having music one period every two weeks.
The High School Orchestra meets one period every week. The instrumentation is as follows: 6 violins, 1 banjo, 3 saxaphones, piano, drums and bells.
Lat spring a cantata was given by the combined Glee Clubs and a Music Memory Contest was given in the seventh and eighth grades from each section of the town. Prizes were donated by each village Parent-Teachers' Association. The purpose of the contest was to have the pupils become familiar with some of the compositions and history of the great musicians.
I wish to thank the committee, superintendent, and teachers for their kind co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ELSIE S. BURNE, Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART
Mr. Chas. H. Walker,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir:
"Art is the expression of life, and if you once permit life to become expression it tends to become artistic." Expression is seeing and doing. To learn to see, and to try to help others to see also, are surely the two things best worth doing, though most of us may fairly be required day by day to do our share of drudgery before we realize them. We are less tempted today to regard the arts as a mere pastime; for we are discov- ering that in them we touch the realities of life. Art is not only delight- ful; it is necessary.
The aim of the work in Art has been to help the child to see and ap- preciate the beautiful in every day life. We do not strive to make Sargents or Stuarts of them, but every one can be an artist in their own life. With the subjects of art in the school course we attempt to accomplish this aim.
. I wish to thank all for their kind co-operation.
Sincerely,
RUTH HAZELWOOD, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
Mr. Charles H. Walker,
Superintendent of Schools,
Chelmsford, Mass.
As school physicians we submit the annual report of the examination of all the school children for the year 1925. This does not include exam- inations made at other times, or other school work done during the year.
Pupils examined 1312
We found:
Carious Teeth 558
Pediculosis 70
Enlarged Tonsils 303
Defective Nasal Breathing 48
Cervical Glands
122
Heart
34
Fullness of thyroid Gland
10
Disease of the Skin
56
Deformity of the Spine
2
1203
In the first grades at these examinations mothers of 56 pupils were present. This is about one-third of all the mothers of all those ex- amined in that.grade.
Notices were not sent to parents of those children who had caries of their first teeth.
To enable us to better detect faulty posture and malnutrition and ob- tain better access to the heart and lungs all of those in grade one were undressed to the waist.
Operations for enlarged tonsile and adenoids are advised only after home visits, a doctor's advice, and a consideration of the number of days absent from school on account of sickness.
There are cases where an operation is advisable and a lack of money prevents the operation. Financial aid should be procured for such cases.
An examination of the sechool records shows that those pupils who are 10% under weight have an average loss of attendance of 15 days per pupil.
Only about one half of these take milk at school. We hope that the parents and teachers will make an effort to obtain a sufficient sup- ply for all.

REPORT OF ATTENDANCE OFFICERS.
Chelmsford, Mass., Dec. 29, 1925.
Mr. C. H. Walker, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir:
During the past year, four cases of truancy were reported to me. All cases were immediately investigated and the four children were returned to school.
Respectfully yours, EDWARD FALLON, Attendance Officer.
Mr. C. H. Walker, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Mass.
Dear Sir:
In the period from Jan. 1 until Oct. 15, 1925, there were 20 cases of truancy. There was very little trouble experienced in any of those cases; in most every case I think you will find it is carlessnes of the parents. I am glad to report that in two particular cases which I thought were going to be hard ones, after having a good talk with the parents I got them to go back to school and have not heard any bad reports from them since. I find that a great many children need en- couragement. I am sorry I had to resign and give up the work for I liked it very much, but as my other work took me out of town I felt I must do it.
Yours truly, CHARLES L. PETRIE, Attendance Officer.

The figures in bold faced type show the number of pupils of normal age for the grade; those at right of bold faced type show the number above normal age or "over age;" those at left show the number below nor- mal age or "under age." With a well adapted course of study and not too arbitrary system of marking, a school system in geneml should show about the same percentage of "over age" and "under age" pupils.
