IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
Visits to the Linebrook and Candlewood Schools once a month.
These visits consist of a thorough inspection of the school children and health talks on Personal Hygiene, covering Contag- eous Diseases, Cleanliness (taking in the care of the whole body, eyes, ears, teeth, nose and throat, hair etc.) Exercise, Proper Food, Fresh Air and Sunshine and Sleep.
Reports of the pupils absent on account of sickness are made to the Nurse followed by home visits by her. There were 749 home visits made this last year.
Together with the above work the nurse assists the School Physician in the physical examinations, where every child is ex- amined, weighed and measured and results of same recorded on cards against a standard weight for boys and girls furnished by the government. There are physical record cards kept of every school child and these contain the defects, also weights and heights. Children underweight are recorded as well as those with defective teeth, eyes, tonsils and adenoids. A card is sent to the parents of all children found to need attention. 507 no- tices were sent to parents concerning 427 children.
The children are weighed quarterly and to each child of normal weight a red star is given and to those within two pounds of same a blue star is given. A weight record card has been made by the Nurse for each room and results of individual weighings are registered on same, causing quite a bit of interest to the children. The percentage of underweights in the school. is amazing and would list below our first weighing in September.

Would make mention here that the second weighings have begun and in some of the class rooms a considerable decrease in the percent of underweights is shown, due to the interest thru these class room record cards. In one of the Fourth Grades the second weighing shows a decrease over that of the September weighing by 23 per cent and in another a decrease of 14 per cent, and so on.
·
The Women's Club has given to the Schools four scales for the weighing, for which we are very grateful.
A Dental Clinic is held at the Cable Hospital every two weeks, and another duty of the school nurse is get the chil- dren together for this and go with them to the Hospital. The dental clinics are made possible by Dr. F. W. Kyes, who kindly gives half a day each two weeks to the needs of the children.
Several visits have been made by the Nurse with children to Oculist in Salem and glasses provided thru various agencies.
Many treatments are given at the office of the Nurse in the Winthrop Building and many of the Mothers have come for consultations.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
· To the Superintendent of Schools,
Ipswich, Mass.
Dear Sir: -
I am glad to be able to report general improvement in Physical Training activities in all the schools particularly in the Senior High School. A decided change in the attitude toward pupil-management in Physical Training has taken place. This has most favorably re-acted upon the student body and was proven by a most excellent demonstration during a competition recently. The leaders are performing their work with dignity and enthusiasm and the results for the groups were most notice. able. This was especially expressed in the vigor of their exer- cises and in their general postures.
The Field Day last spring demonstrated the general im- provement, all along the line, in the Primary and Grammar Grades and Junior High School. The formal exercises, the games and the dances were far better than the previous year. I beg to acknowledge here the fine work of our teachers. I believe we have made considerable progress also in having both teachers and parents appreciate the fact that Physical Training is not only a measure for the promotion of public health, but also an impor- tant educational force for the development of character Charac-
73
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
ter, is in a measure, a plexus of motor habits. Wishing to do good, wanting this and that, does not make for strong character. A boy must have the will power to do things. This means that he must have first of all control over his muscles. In this way does Physical Training prove to be the basis of character devel- opment. In other words our teachers and our people are be- ginning to appreciate that to keep the body and mind in tip-top condition means the development of "morale."
I beg to acknowledge at the same time my appreciation of your inspiring co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNST HERMANN,
Director of Physical Education.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
SEWING.
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Ipswich, Mass. Dear Sir ;-
The work in the sewing course is planned to teach the
74
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
girls the fundamental stitches and how to apply them on simple garments. Comparison is made between home-made and ready- made clothing with regard to durability and economy.
The girls begin sewing in the fifth grade. The child learns the stitches on a practice piece and then applies them on the article she is making. Bean bags or iron holders are made first on which the child learns basting and overhanding. The other plain stitches are practical on a sewing bag or school bag. She then makes a butcher's apron which gives her more experience in hemming. This is the most difficult stitch for the child to learn.
In the sixth grade, nightgowns, kimonos, bloomers, princess slips, petticoats and aprons of different kinds are made. The girls use the machines for their long seams. It requires much time to learn to stitch straight. The girls meet with more difficult problems such as arranging gathers on a belt, making wide hems and plackets. They are taught the use of commercial patterns but most of the actual cutting of garments has to be done outside of class. There are as many as twenty-five girls in some classes and it is impossible for one teacher to supervise the cutting of a garment for one child and at the same time answer questions for twenty-four others. The period for sewing in the fifth and sixth grades is only forty-five minutes. Individual attention has to be given each child and with such large classes the progress is slow.
Some of the girls bring in old clothes to be made over. This is a very practical phase of dressmaking. The townspeople sent in sewing last year and this helped to keep many girls busy who could not afford to bring their own material.
In the seventh grade the girls have but one half year of sew- ing. They get more practice in the use of machines while mak- ing their cooking outfit. If this is accomplished before Christmas the girls bring their Christmas presents and work on them in class time. Underclothes, blouses and dresses are also made
75
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
and repair work and darning taken up.
In the eighth grade the work is more advanced. The need and capability of the girl is always considered. If a child does not need a certain garment she is not required to make it. Va-
The rious articles of clothing and household linens are made.
girls make a simple study of textiles. This makes them more familiar with the common kinds of cloth and the use of each. Different weaves are studied and samples of each are brought by the girls.
This course aims to teach the girls to make and repair their own clothes. They are interested in the work and the results obtained in most cases are very gratifying.
Respectfully submitted,
MARION E. BROWN.
COOKING. 1
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :- Ipswich, Mass.
The course in cooking begins the second half of the seventh grade. The work is planned to give the girls a know- ledge of food material and its preparation. They study the origin of food used in class, its composition and use in the body. It is essential to understand the composition of food in order to purchase it wisely.
76
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
When the girls begin cooking they spend several lessons preparing simple dishes for breakfast, such as cereals, cocoa, quick breads and toast. Table setting is taken up and then the girls have a practical review lesson. They set the table for breakfast, prepare and serve the meal.
At the beginning of the course much time has to be devoted to the general routine of the work. Each girl has her own drawer with her utensils in it and she is held responsible for the clean- liness and order of these at the close of each lesson. The girls take turns in doing the general duties of housekeeping as sweep- ing, washing dish towels and arranging the cupboards. It is surprising to note how quickly the girls become interested in cooking. They are always anxious to take home their note books. and try their recipes at home.
After the work on breakfasts simple and nutritious dishes for luncheon and supper are made. The recipes are chosen which are cheap and yet furnish a high food value. The class time is short so that the actual cooking of certain dishes which require much time has to be omitted.
The course is not planned wholly on the meal basis .system for the food principles and various ways of cooking have to be considered. For instance, the girls devote several lessons to baking taking up the subject of bread, cake and cookies: study the composition of vegetables and the different ways of prepar- ing them. Deep fat frying and steaming are considered. A Christmas time, now that sugar is cheaper, we make several kinds of candy.
In the fall of the year the townspeople send in fruits and vegetables to be canned. They furnish sugar, jars and any nec- essary supplies and the girls do the work. In this way they gain a practical as well as theoretical knowledge of canning and pre- serving. This year some people contributed fruits and vege- tables to be canned for the hospital. The girls made two bushels
77
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
of grapes into jelly and later pickled two bushels of tomatoes.
One afternoon each week after school hours the High School girls are given instruction in cooking. The work is along the same lines as that in the grades but more advanced. These girls have had more experience and can accomplish more in the class time. The latter part of the year they studied invalid cookery, taking up the subject of gruels, broths and various beverages used in the sick room.
All the work done in this department is of a practical nature and aims to make the girls capable, neat and helpful at home.
Respectfully submitted,
MARION E. BROWN.
MANUAL TRAINING.
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Ipswich, Mass.
Dear Sir :-
In submitting this report of the work done in the manual training department for the year just closed, I have but little to add by way of change in method or program from that of pre-
78
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
vious years.
Since it was decided to take the ranks of the pupil's work in this department in connection with his ranks in other school work in taking his average for promotion, there has been a decided change for the better in both effort and accomplish- ment. Good work counts in the pupil's favor and poor work counts against him as it does and will in life later on. This has removed a great handicap and made my work much easier. The pupil, too, feels that the work here has a larger value than he. had ever placed upon it before, and he does better work.
If the parents could be persuaded to look upon this work in the same light, and would show a larger spirit of co-operation, I feel that much greater improvement could be made.
On the whole the work is receiving much more of the pupil's interest and a much better start has been made for the coming year. While holding strictly to the fundamentals -- measuring and marking and sawing, exactly to dimensions, we have under- taken a larger variety of work in order to keep up the interest, and the work is made more difficult as the pupil gains in skill.
The articles made are all of practical use in the house, and this also creates an interest. The following is a partial list of what we have made: - Ironing-boards, coat-hangers, towell-roll- ers, bird-houses, book-racks, flower-sticks, stools, flower-stands, block-puzzles, crickets, skiis, dog-houses, piano-benches, tables, and so on.
We shall try to teach some of the simpler methods of up- holstering so that the pupil may have the satisfaction of doing all the work required for the completed article. This will be of great help in the work of the home, and save both time and expense.
In this connection, too, the uses of sheet-metal work will be found valuable. The reading of gas and water meters, and the knowledge of the construction and how to repair a leaky faucet
79
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
will be useful.
We are trying to make a collection of the various kinds of wood in common use. These will be cut to cabinet size and show by means of the different section faces how the appear- ance of the grain of wood is dependent upon the method of sawing.
The pupils already know how to estimate the age of trees by the annual rings, and to identify the northern and southern exposures. A nail card showing the different sizes and uses of nails, and the different methods of manufacturing the same, has been started.
The largest project of the year will be a model of window construction. This will include the frame or casing, the pulleys, cord, and weights, the glazed sash with its proper fastenings in place, the screen and shade, all to be in complete working order, and properly secured to the building itself.
Dowell and mortise jointing are to be taken up in connec- tion with the construction work of the various articles made.
A machinists vise for simple jobs of iron work is greatly needed; and much instruction in simple repair work could be in- troduced and taught if such an implement could be purchased.

ARTHUR W. GOULD.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
MUSIC.
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :-
Ipswich, Mass.
In submitting to you my report of the music in the Ipswich schools, there are only one or two matters of particular importance that I wish to bring to your attention. First, the ad- visability of changing the hour of the music period in the grades. At present, the teacher has her music lesson from 3 to 3.30 in the afternoon. While this may be a very good hour for the singing of songs, I very strongly advise that the technical part of the work be taken up when the children are not completely tired out from a full days work. If part of the time, perhaps ten minutes, could be devoted to song work during the last of the school sess- jon and the technical work presented while the pupils are fresh, I feel that the results obtained would be much greater than at present. May I ask you to give this matter your very careful consideration?
As you know, since the opening of school in September, we have been devoting a great deal of time to individual work in the schools.
The work in music is being presented with two particular objects in view. First, to create a love for good music, which we
1
81
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
hope to obtain by the singing of good songs, and second, to teach the child to read music. The former is very simple, the latter, very difficult. There is no subject in the school course of study where the individual pupil has such a good opportunity to shirk. While the majority of the class may be working, it is impossible to tell if the individual is getting the most out of his study or whether he is lagging behind and depending upon the rest of the school to carry him along. For this reason every pu- pil is obliged to read individually and he is ranked according to his ability. In this manner, we hope to bring our music to a much higher plane.
Rote songs only are taken up in the first grade and technical work started in grade two. From there to the High School we hope to produce the greatest results.
In our high school at present we have a choir consisting of the full school and a girls' glee club of thirty-five members.
The opera given by the High school last year was a big success but it seemed inadvisable to do the same thing this year as it requires a great deal of time and study taken from the reg- ular work.
On the whole, I consider the work in our schools, this year, to be far ahead of any since I have held the position of Supervisor.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you, the teachers and all who have so ably assisted me during the past year,
To you, Mr. Superintendent, I expressly wish to show my gratitude, for the great amount of interest you have taken in mu- sic. Without the co-operation you have given me, I feel that we should be far below the present standing.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR HAROLD TOZER,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE.
The sub-committee appointed by the school committee to arrange for playground work for 1920, respectfully submit to the voters and Townspeople a report of the work accomplished. Also a statement covering the expenditures of the money ap- propriated by the town for this work.
The committee was fortunate in having such a capable in- structor on playground development in Miss Inez Boynton of Woburn, Massachusetts. The program covering this work was advertised in our local papers, also placarded in different parts of the town. The first week was rather discouraging to the committee, as well as to the instructor, the total enrollment being but 15, but as the days went on the enrollment grew larger so that the last week's enrollment showed a total of 151.
The daily classes consisted of raffia work, setting up exer- cises, fist'ball games, and base ball games, also sand boxes, bench- es, and tables were available for the little tots. Parents of the children who took part in these games were in evidence at the grounds daily. " The program came to a conclusion in the latter part of August, at which time the committee attended, and the
86
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
different games, folk dances, and exhibit of raffia work was en- joyed by them as well as by a number of the townspeople.
The results obtained by Miss Boynton were indeed very gratifying owing to the fact that Miss Boynton was only here for a period of six weeks; and the committee feels that she was a very capable instructor and has opened the way for further ad- vancement in this good work and would urge that this work be carried out.
Paraphernalia purchased this year consisting of base-ball and foot-ball equipment, and all lumber used for sand boxes, ta- bles, benches, is available for next year.
The committee wishes to thank the parents of all children enrolled, and any who helped in any way towards the carrying out of this program which proved to be so successful.
