During the past year your supervisor was 4 reduced at times to a state of bewilderment by the rapidly growing demands upon teachers and supervisor alike, occasioned by the increasing enrollment, reduced space and lack of facilities as opposed to the need of expanding the art course to fit the needs of our pupils in better ways.
These difficulties were partly solved by re-scheduling the supervisor's time for visi- tations and instruction and by broadening the opportunities for the grade teachers to use the art program in correlation and free expression. The classroom teachers stepped into the breach brought about by condi- tions and have carried out our art objec- tives in a highly creditable manner and without apparent difficulty.
Lately this re-allotment of supervisory time was extended and with the loyal co- operation of the staff we are rapidly ap- proaching the time when we may set up a

program to be wholly carried out by the teachers and directed by the supervisor. It is especially pleasing to note here that all of the teachers from time to time have initi- ated special activities in art and carried them out with marked success, the services of the supervisor being needed only in inci- dental ways.
The situation in the grades, then, seems to be well in hand and making sound prog- ress. With regard to the eighth grade and the high school we cannot make the same claim, except in part.
The growth of the school population forced the removal of the high school and eighth grade art classes from Room 206 to the basement room in the Manual Arts Building at the east end. While this room has certain advantages it has serious dis- advantages, the most serious being lack of space for classes of ordinary size. For that reason and also due to the growing com- plexities of scheduling the eighth grade art period had to be reduced from 80 minutes to 40 minutes per week. Effective work can- not be done in this room with classes over 18 in pupil numbers particularly when painting of any kind is undertaken.
A LOOK AHEAD
It is a certainty that the coming year will see an even greater problem in carry- ing out a satisfactory art program in rooms too small to permit an adequate approach to modern art instruction. It is not taking a defeatist attitude to state that one can adapt, revise, change and revamp methods and content only to a certain point; beyond that one cannot go. We are rapidly reach- ing that point in the high school and eighth grade art program.
While these obstacles to progress cannot be shrugged off they do not mean that we are stopped altogether. There are ways along certain lines to make our course better; one might term it "expansion laterally instead of vertically".
The high school art course has been bet- tered immeasurably by the inception of a course in oil painting and the eighth grade has moved a step forward in being provided opportunities to use poster paint and other media more widely than heretofore.
The excellent work of the Curriculum Committee has provided the means of es- tablishing a well-outlined course in the grades based on the needs of the pupils, grade by grade.
The moderate increase in the art budget will permit a better distribution of art supplies in the various schools and permit a wider use of media.
The beginnings of a program of correla- tion of art with other subjects in the High School and eighth grade have already been established and this field offers great op- portunities for worth-while expansion.
In the high school, more and more pupils are electing art with a view to using it as a basis for a career in that field or some related field. Some thought must be given to furnishing such pupils with better facili- ties and a more helpful program.
Thus we envision a year of difficult problems with many challenges to our in- genuity and resourcefulness. With the co- operation so readily tendered now, as in the past, we feel confident of surmounting our difficulties.
I am deeply grateful to the teachers, the principals, the superintendent and the school board for the assistance, understanding and sound advice that has kept our art program a vital and valued asset to our school chil- dren.
Respectfully submitted,
Frank H. Chadbourne, Art Supervisor
REPORT OF THE IPSWICH SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
A LOOK BACKWARD
During March, students in the High School were given the opportunity of being Blood Typed when the State Civil Defense Unit was in Ipswich. Slips were sent home for parental permission. 90% of the student enrollment, grades 9 through 12, were typed and their type recorded on their school health record. A card issued by the State, stating the students name, address and
51
Blood Type was mailed to the parent or guardian.
We had the loan of the State group test- ing Audiometer machine during the month of February. 487 children, grades 3 through 7, were tested at this time. 69 of the chil- dren tested failed and were retested in a group. Of these 69, 27 failed the retest and were tested individually. Parents were noti- fied of failures and follow-up work has been done on all these cases. All the children in grades 1 and 2 were given an individual hear- ing test. 293 children were tested individu- ally. All first grade children were given the Massachusetts Vision test. Children, recom- mended by the teacher or at the parents re- quest, in grades 2 through 7 were also done at this time.
With the co-operation of the School Com- mittee and the Board of Health, the annual immunization clinic was held in the spring. 360 children from the three elementary schools and the Parochial school received a "Booster dose" against diptheria and Teta- nus. 68 children received their initial im- munization of 3 doses. 11 pre-school re- ceived their initial immunization of 3 doses against diptheria, tetanus and whooping cough.
Spring registration for children entering the Ipswich Schools in September 1953 was held in March. 138 children registered for school. All these children received a physi- cal examination by the School Physician and parents were urged to have any defects found attended to before the child entered school.
Continuing the policy started last year, staggered physical examinations were done. The grades recommended by the Massachu- setts Department of Public Health to be examined each year are grades 1-4-7-11. Notice of the physical examination is sent home and the parents have the privilege of having it done by their family physician if they prefer. Definite appointments are given to children in the 1st and 4th grades and parents are invited to be present at the ex- amination. In addition to the above men- tioned grades all students entering competi- tive sports receive a physical. This includes the girls' basketball team, the boys' football, basketball and baseball teams. 475 physical
examinations were done by the School Physician, 27 were done by the family doc- tor and there were two exemptions for re- ligious reasons. 32 parents were present at the examinations.
Dental cards were given to every child in the elementary schools early in November. These cards are taken to the family dentist and signed by him when work is completed and the card returned to the school nurse. Dental certificates, issued by the dentist, are displayed in the classroom and returned to the child at the end of the school year.
All children that have had any contact to Tuberculosis are taken to Middleton twice a year for a chest X-ray. Complying with the State Law, 14 students and 2 adults working in the High School cafeteria were taken to Middleton for chest X-rays early in September.
Home visits have been made by the school nurse whenever necessary. Nurse, teacher conferences have been held at least once during the year which have proved very valuable to both.
A LOOK AHEAD €
Plans are underway to file each child's health record in an individual folder. This . will replace the present method of one folder for each grade. We feel that this
- method will be much more satisfactory as ' all information concerning the child's health will be in the one folder and the necessity - of going to different folders for information will be eliminated. Four grades have already been completed and it is anticipated that the 3 elementary schools will be finished by the end of school in June.
In closing I wish to express thanks and appreciation to the Superintendent of Schools, the Principals and the entire teach- ing staff for the cooperation and help they have given this department.
Respectfully submitted,
Eleonore Richardson, R.N. School Nurse

2. A study will be continued to deter- mine if teachers can be given a lightened regular schedule rather than extra pay to compensate for extra service rendered, to determine if rates paid are too much or too little in terms of duties performed, to see if additional provisions should be made for other duties not covered and to determine if extra pay schedule could benefit more teachers by rotating responsibilities.
III. Cost of Living Adjustment
1. All school employees will receive a cost of living adjustment of 4% of the total salary rate they receive on January 1, 1954 (4% is the average cost of living ad- justment other town employees will re- ceive). This adjustment will be paid in four separate equal installments at the end of March, June, September and December (prorated if a teacher leaves employ ) .
2. Cost of living adjustment will be given to school department employees only at such times as it is given to other town em- ployees.
