REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. Charles H. Bates, Supt. of Schools :-
Dear Sir :- I present to you the following report of the Music in the public schools of Middleboro for the year 1918:
To make true music lovers of the masses is no small task and the hope of the future lies in the millions of school chil- dren. If we can, therefore, in spite of all the influences that tend to a low standard of musical taste, make intelligent music lovers of our children in the schools we may well feel that we have accomplished much.
One of our chief aims in public school music, to-day, is to lay a foundation for a wider appreciation of music. Children must hear good music, both vocal and instrumental. The victrola is playing an important part in the musical education of the child, and, through the child, the commu- nity is being educated, if the child is taught to listen intelli- gently. Listening lessons are being given in all of the schools where there is a victrola. Ideas lie back of music just as they lie back of language, and children must be taught how to listen for these ideas as expressed in music.
The violin classes which were started last year have been continued this year with success. Class lessons, while they are not ideal, are a means to an end. These lessons are held after school hours and are paid for by the pupils.
In February a program of Mendelssohn music was given in High School Assembly Hall by the combined eighth and ninth grades of School Street school. This was open to the public and a large number of the parents and friends of the pupils attended.
The work in music in the suburban schools is not as satisfactory as we wish it might be. Conditions in the different schools vary so much that it is almost impossible to make an outline of work which will answer for any two schools. In the first three grades Progressive Book I is being used in all the rural schools; if we could put the pupils into the Progressive One Book Course in the fourth grade we feel that very satisfactory work could be accomplished. This book is admirably suited to the rural school problem. Enough material is furnished in each chapter, so that by alternating the material year by year the songs may be kept
28
reasonably fresh in the minds of the children and the prob- lems to be studied are arranged systematically and pro- gressively. The pupils who come up town to the eighth and ninth grades, from the suburban schools are not fitted to take up the work of these grades in music; not because of lack of interest on the part of the former teacher, but because of inadequate material with which to work. The music books in these schools are not meeting the needs of the children.
In all of the schools of the town special stress has been placed upon learning the patriotic songs correctly. Much personal attention has been given to monotones and other abnormal voices, with gratifying results. In sight reading emphasis has been placed on self effort by the child, assuming that constantly helping the child deprives him of the oppor- tunity to help himself and thus leads him to become depen- dent upon others.
The concert by the High School chorus, glee clubs and orchestra given last March was a success both musically and financially. This year the chorus is working on Jules- Jordan's "Barbara Frietchie" to be given later in the season-
Music which does not awaken a feeling of delight fails in its mission and it is the daily work done by the grade teacher which makes music a vital factor in the lives of the children and through them, the life of the community. The good spirit and hearty cooperation shown by the conscien- tious grade teachers have contributed much to the success of the music in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
NELLIE M. WICHER, 1
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING AND GENERAL ARTS.
Mr. Charles H. Bates, Superintendent of Schools :-
Dear Sir :- The following is my report as drawing super- visor, in the public schools of Middleboro:
I have worked in the schools only since September but have been greeted with such friendly interest and hearty cooperation by both pupils and teachers that I already feel at home in the town and am thoroughly enjoying my work.
The pupils show excellent previous training making my efforts, therefore, the more affective. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, a different school from that of the former supervisor. I have, therefore, a slightly differ- ent method and system of working. The teachers have adapted themselves to any changes with little or no confusion.
Colored crayons have been generously supplied for all of the schools. My method calls for brilliant colors, there- fore the crayons were especially necessary. Materials for high school and manual work were as generously provided.
At the high school, in the free-hand class, we have spent most of the time up to the present date in interior decorating problems. The separate sides of a room being drawn to scale with emphasis on good design in arrangement of win- dows and doors, and good taste in color, decorations and furnishings. We are at present doing simple lettering. Later, costume design and house planning will be taken up.
In the mechanical class the boys have been through the essential geometry problems, The advanced boys reviewed projections and are now starting architectural drawing, simple house planning, etc., Later something of the archi- tectural orders and the use of the inking pen will be taken up. The beginning boys will be drilled further in projections and isometric drawing and started on the architectural work as soon as possible.
In the primary grades I am trying hard to study the particular interests of little children. I am trying to intro- duce the principles of technique and vendering into problems that are really enjoyable to children. Therefore, by creating a background of genuine interest and enthusiasm, the drill and work are more affectively pushed ahead.
.
32
The same method is as essential in the grammar grades. The older boy or girl has by this period in their school career an interest in current events, and problems of the grown up world. I try to adapt the drawing course to current events and local interests, especially trying to correlate the course with any or every other study in the school curriculum. In the seventh, eighth and ninth grades much the same interior decorating problems have been taken up that were in the high school. Perspective, design and other principles of drawing will be adapted as much as possible to the interests of each particular class room.
In the fifth and sixth grades the boys work in cardboard construction. We have as yet finished only envelopes which are used in the class rooms, match boxes and jumping- jacks. Later, with a less interrupted program, I hope to continue with a greater number of problems of utility and interest to small boys.
The sewing has been kept up by the grade teachers. One class made sewing bags, another patch-work and another samplers. I hope the work may continue in useful lines.
I wish to thank all who are so affectively supporting me in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
KATHERINE L. SEARS,
Teacher of Drawing and General Arts.

The path of life is leading onward, Each one to broader fields must go;
But the hours that we have spent together Are the brightest that we shall ever know.
Farewell to thee, dear M. H. S. Where work and pleasure filled the happy days, And thanks to those who've been so patient, kind, And helped us with their praise
As we journey on to newer tasks We hope that we'll prove' good and true; And wherever fate shall choose to lead us May success crown the work that we shall do.
Oh M. H. S., as we go forth May we leave a pleasant mem'ry in thy halls. With God our guide to help us all the way, We'll go where duty calls.
