Fluent intelligent sight-reading becomes possible through the application of this drill in songs composed of familiar elements in new relations.
In developing a musical problem four steps are taken (1) A familiar song embodying the problem is reviewed,
(2) The problem is brought clearly to the children's attention.
(3) The problem is isolated from the context and drilled upon.
(4) The mastered problem is applied in the reading of new songs in which it occurs.

In introducing the subject of voice culture it is not in- tended that the term shall include all the phases usually emphasized by private teachers of singing. The object is rather to preserve than to exploit the child voice. The teacher constantly insists that the tone shall be "light and sweet." In the realization of good tone quality the first appeal to the children is in bringing out the instinctive love for the beautiful by kindling the imagination, and by having the children endeavor to express the poetical and musical mood of the song.
This leads to a consideration of Song Interpretation. The teacher leads the children to study each song and to tell the story or give the content of the poem in their own words. She teaches them how to follow, not only the mechan- ical signs, but how, through an appreciation of the poetry, and through an analysis of the nature and tendency of the music itself, they may arrive at the most effective inter- pretation of the thought of the poet and of the composer.
The work in the High School has been and is most grati- fying. Last Spring the High School chorus gave a very creditable performance of Cowen's "The Rose Maiden" and this year we are planning to give a Miscellaneous Concert to include Gounod's "Gallia." We have a promising High School Orchestra, which is striving to do its part toward creating an increased "School Spirit."
The past year has seen the establishment of a circulating library of Talking Machine Records to be used in all schools having mechanical instruments.
Another innovation was the singing of Christmas Carols on Christmas Eve, in the Town Hall. The public were invited to join the schools in this time honored custom. It is hoped that the idea will expand so that by another Christmastide it will include a Community Christmas Tree with all that it is a symbol of, and that every man, woman and child in our community may have a share in it.
While the primary aim of the Supervisor of Music has been to teach the children not only how to sing but how to love to sing, yet above all else she is striving to bring the work of the schools before the public in such a way as to invite its interest and therefore its co-operation and so bring the community into closer relation to its schools and the work that they are doing.
Respectfully submitted, GRACE G. PIERCE, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP.
Middleboro, Mass., Jan. 1, 1917.
Mr. Charles H. Bates, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir :- The following is the report of the Penmanship work for the past three months:
The actual written work in the grades, this past term, while not of a very high standard when measured by the standard established by commercial educators, 'is, never- theless, indicative of a promising future.
My observations of the penmanship conditions in the grade schools, made during this past term, prove, conclu- sively, that the foundation rock, position, upon which good writing is based, has not been imbedded firmly enough in the groundwork of the pupils' penmanship course. It is this necessary foundation to good writing that the teachers have been developing the past three months and, I feel, devel- oping successfully.
Every teacher has shown a marked interest in the pupils' work in writing, and, with this interest thoroughly aroused, the writing in our public schools, I feel confident, will be raised to a very high standard of efficiency.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND S. DOWER,
Supervisor of Penmanship.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER OF STAMP SAVING SYSTEM.
Mr. Charles H. Bates, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :- The following is a brief report of the Stamp Saving System in the Public Schools for its first year:
The aim has been to teach the children the value of money saved and to help children and parents save for definite objects. Much interest has been shown in the work among teachers, parents, and children. About 800 different persons used the system and saved in all $1,569.44. The individual amounts withdrawn have våried from 1c. to $13.30 to one pupil and $29 to a teacher.
Some of the objects for which this was saved were deposits in the Middleboro Savings Bank, for clothing, for use at Christmas, for bicycles, for traveling and to meet many other special needs of the pupil and his home life.
The success of the System has been due in a large meas- ure to the interest and faithful work of the teachers in the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
LIZZIE E. B. TILLSON,
Treasurer of Stamp Saving System.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Middleboro, Mass., Dec. 30, 1916.
To the School Committee of Middleboro;
The usefulness of the School Physician is necessarily limited as he can only call to the attention of the parents' defects in the child and is powerless to demand that they be remedied.
While most of the parents realize the importance of attend- ing to all existing defects quite a number apparently do not which shows the crying need of a school dentist whose duty it would be to care for the teeth of children not under the care of the family dentist.
I emphasize the need of dental work in the schools as defective teeth in the child eventually means inefficiency in the adult.
I again acknowledge my indebtedness to the Superin- tendent of Schools, the principals and teachers for their co-operation and interest.
The results of the physical examinations are found below :

CLASS ODE.
Sung to Barcarolle-From the Opera, Les Contes d' Hoffman.
Like the sound of distant bells That ring in the still, still night, Comes the thought that we as a class Have finished one step in life. Thanks we give to our guides, Who've taught us day by day By their kind and loving work They've helped us on our way. And to our parents dear Loving tributes we tender; For year by year they have urged us on Through the day and the night, Through the calm and the strife. In the class of ten and six May friends and teachers see That we're an honor to the school. And may our work e'er be Guided by Him each day Who taught us here on earth How to live in the "Onward, Upward" way.
