Recreation uses it for fun.
Socialization uses it to teach patience and the blending of all into one perfect whole. What better lesson can be learned in the creating of good citizenship.
Concentration uses it in teaching the child the different melodies on which their respective instruments play. It teaches them to be quiet, orderly, alert, and prompt in obedience.
42
In the Fourth Grades the fife classes bridge over to further orchestral activities. The ease with which the pupils learn to play this fairly difficult instrument is inter- esting. We have over 300 boys and girls who can play the fife at the present time. This activity stimulates in two directions: first, the desire to read by syllable; and second, leads to other more difficult instruments.
Some one has rather tritely said: "A boy who beats a drum will never beat his family." "One who blows a wind instrument never blows a safe." "A boy who draws a bow never draws a gun."
The year has produced many interesting things among which may be noted the cantata by the Bates school and the annual Spring concert by the High School, which has brought credit to all of those who participated.
The vocal branch of our subject is so well established that extensive mention of it is unnecessary. It suffices to say that by the hearty cooperation of the teachers in the different grades, the classes are progressing in their usually splendid manner.
The drum corps are most enthusiastically preparing for a further date of which full mention will be made later.
In closing I would quote from an eminent authority who says, "It is not so vital a matter what the child will do with music, as what music will do with the child."
Respectfully submitted,
WIRT B. PHILLIPS,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP
Middleboro, Massachusetts · December 31, 1930
Mr. J. Stearns Cushing Superintendent of Schools
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report for the Penmanship De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1930.
During the past year I made visits to schools in various states with the object in mind of studying their system of penmanship and embodying the good points in our system. As a result of this study, in the higher grades, emphasis has been placed upon the correlation of penmanship with other subjects. In these grades the student gets a mark for pen- manship in all subjects. This is an attempt to get the pupil to put into effect the theory of good writing that he has learned in his penmanship lessons and to help him to re- cognize the value of good legible handwriting.
The aims in the middle grades have been to lead the pupils to appreciate the importance of handwriting in the life of the school and in the life outside of the school; to make a progressive advance toward smoother and better controlled movement; and to acquire a knowledge of the correct way to write certain important kinds of materials.
In the lower grades emphasis has been placed upon correct letter formation and free easy writing movement with same attempt at correlation in other subjects.
Representatives from various penmanship companies have visited us during the year and through lectures have given us helpful aids in the teaching of this subject. Plans have been made to have more of these helpful lectures in the future.
Many of the teachers who do not at the present time have teachers' writing certificates are striving to gain them,
44
and in the near future we should be one hundred per cent. along this line.
In closing I wish to express my thanks to the Superin- tendent and teachers for their helpful cooperation.
WALTER G. HICKS, Supervisor of Penmanship.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Middleboro, Massachusetts December 26, 1930
J. Stearns Cushing
Superintendent of Schools
Dear Sir:
In making this my annual report for the year nineteen thirty it certainly would be a shame if I failed to mention the wonderful results received from the lectures and advice on contagious diseases, general welfare, and mental hygiene you so ably selected and promulgated.
A shame it would be if I as well failed to mention the organized effort of all the teachers in keeping our schools one hundred percent by referring every and all doubtful or suspicious diseases to our interest and efficient school nurse, Miss Pasztor, or myself.
Thanks are given to all the parents of our students for their early recognizance of any contagious disease, and for sending immediate notification to the Health Officer.
Gratitude is extended to all physicians who by thought- ful attention in doubtful cases have demanded a strict quarantine until such conditions render them reportable to our Health Officer or discharged.
Our Parent Teacher Associations deserves unlimited praise for work accomplished, especially so by insisting that a health card on the home is an emblem of respect and a badge of honor.

TO OUR SCHOOL Tune: The Old Refrain
Our high school days are done in M. H. S. Our future work begun, dear M. H. S. Farewell to happy days we've spent with you, Farewell to all our friends and teachers true.
69
You've helped us on our way through all these years, You've shared with us in all our joys and fears, You've been our life and all we cared to know, And now apart from you it's time to go. Our thoughts will oft return to happy days We'll sing our songs to you and shout thy praise, 'Our teachers and our school mates now we say You know where we should always like to stay.
