In the lower grades at all times my course has dealt chiefly with representation from memory, aimed to develop accurate reproducing of accurate observations. All prob- lems are planned to train the child to work carefully, develop- ing an idea step by step, with an ability to carry out direc- tions readily. But also the problems are planned to develop as much originality and ingenuity as possible. Simple design will be included in the work, mainly to teach the child ideas of order and simple arrangements. I have tried to make the course correlate with all school subjects, to make drawing merely another means of self expression, a useful rather than a theoretical art.
The manual work includes cardboard construction for the boys and sewing, under the direction of the grade teacher, for the girls. The cardboard work has included note-books, book covers, pencil boxes and plan drawings of the same. It will continue with other useful problems and stencilling. The girls are making a book of samples, including all com- mon stitches. Their course will continue with a few prac- tical problems and some stencilling.
The rural teachers are provided with my outlines of work which they carry out themselves.
This year I plan to have an exhibition of school work, which I hope will show just what the children are doing in the drawing course.
I very much appreciate the excellent and enthusiastic work of the teachers and the earnest co-operation of the superintendent.
Respectfully submitted,
KATHERINE L. SEARS,
Supervisor of Drawing and Manual Art.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Jan. 1, 1920.
To the School Committee of Middleboro :
The importance of health work in the public school is becoming more apparent and the benefits derived therefrom, when the work can be properly performed, cannot be over- estimated.
Heretofore the value of the School Physician was neces- sarily limited as he was entirely without power to demand the correction of defects discovered in his routine examina- tion.
No doubt the value of health work in our schools will be enhanced by the advent of the Public Health Nurse, who will devote a share of her time to school work.
The usual examination of the pupils had been made prior to the arrival of the nurse; however, all children are being re-examined and the nurse is accompanying the notice, to the parents, to the home.
It is expected that by this "follow-up" method, through this medium, to bring about a closer co-operation between the parents 'and the School Physician.
Again grateful acknowledgement is made to the Super- intendent of Schools, the various principals and all the teachers for their interest and co-operation.
The results of the examination are found below.

CLASS ODE.
Tune of "The Old Refrain," Kreisler.
Oh dear old M. H. S., the time has come When we no longer in thy rooms shall roam, Four long, long happy years have we spent there With many pleasures and without a care. Now to our teachers kind our thanks we raise, Who've tried to cheer us with words of praise. Faithful and true may we e'er be to them, And may each one be proud of nine and ten. Now as we journey on to further calls May we leave pleasant memories in thy halls, And may each be proud of nine and ten. "Farewell, dear M. H. S.", we say to you.
63
Like sounds of distant bells comes this refrain, That we shall ne'er return to thee again. The happiest moments we have ever known Now like the flowers of spring have come and gone. Our parents dear have helped us on our way; May all of them be proud of us this day. As we go forth to tasks as yet untried We look to them, our ever faithful guide. Oh Alma Mater! As we now depart, For thee a place remains within each heart. We onward go our newer tasks to do,
"Farewell, dear M. H. S.", we say to you.
