A teachers' Institute was held in Holden in October and. all the teachers of the union attended, as well as many from surrounding towns. This was an all-day meeting similar to the one held in Rutland two years ago and was conducted by the State Department of Education.
Interest in spelling was aroused by a Spelling Bee held,
100
in Worcester by the Telegram-Gazette. A preliminary con- test was held in Rutland and representatives came from all the schools of the union and from Hubbardston.
The problems that face us in the high school are referred to in Mr. Allen's report of last year and in Mr. Holway's report that follows. With the exception of Grades I and II at the Center which are too large for one teacher, the condi- tions in our elementary schools are good, but the high school needs attention and some definite action. As suggested in my last report I would like to see a Committee appointed to make a careful study of the whole situation. I hear fre- quently the suggestion that high school pupils be transported to Holden and financially it would cost no more, probably less, than to continue as at present with a small membership. There are other considerations of course besides that of cost. A modern high school building or an addition to the present building would be another solution. Our boys and girls should have some of the advantages that obtain in other towns. We need more work in the field of commercial studies, there should be a well equipped laboratory, and opportunity for the teaching of Household Arts and Manual Training.
The grading around the West Rutland building was finished in the summer and has greatly improved the appear- ance of that school plant. The sanitary conditions at the Center have been vastly improved by the installation of flush toilets and the new heating facilities.
We need very much to have a porch over the concrete steps and the walls in the hallways and in some of the rooms need to be retinted. as in the room over the Selectmen's office. Shades are needed at the windows. They should be double roller shades of tan cloth or duck so as to admit light at the
101
top of the windows. The walls of the school rooms at West Rutland should be painted. The building at North Rutland is too far from the people it serves. If it cannot be moved to advantage, it could be sold and another building erected in the village. If the proposed extension of the Metropolitan Water System makes this unwise, we ought at least to have water and lights provided for the present building.
The tables of statistics indicate practically the same average membership as last year but with a decrease of ten in the high school. The enrollment in December was less than a year ago but largely accounted for by the smaller number at West Rutland and in the high school.
The following table may be of interest in comparing local costs with those in the state as a whole, based on aver- age membership.

The school is a reflection of the community. Active and intelligent interest and support are essential to success. Loy- alty and a strong school spirit must start in the homes. I want to thank the Committee and the teachers for their splendid support and the parents for all that is done to in- crease and improve the opportunities for an education that we are able to offer their children.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES R. CHILDS,. Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Jan. 1, 1927.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The enrollment in the High School at the present time is 36. The number in the fall was 44. Among those who ·left us were some who transferred, and others who gave up altogether. I regret to see examples of the latter. It hurts even more when I am forced to realize that had this school been able to do better by them, they might still be getting high school training. Equipment and methods that were good ten years ago are out of date today. The educational program like everything else must change to meet the needs of a dynamic society.
During the summer the basement was improved, and a new heating system put in. That was a fine start, but many more changes are needed if we are to be justly proud of what we are doing for the children who attend school.
The playground problem both outside as well as in the basement is one of the most vital importance. It is the happy, contented child who does the best in school-other things being equal.
As I view the situation, immediate action needs to be taken in regard to the High School. The present conditions do not warrant pride, and it is the children who suffer. It is hardly fair to them.
At this time I should like to express appreciation to the
103
parents in the Parent-Teacher Association. Their courage and ambition in the face of small membership and many obstacles is a good omen and worthy of recognition.
The annual Prize Speaking Contest, which is now a regular institution here, was won by Margaret Webber and Phillip Delahanty. The second prize went to Adeline Myers. Cups were donated as prizes.
The medal given by the Massachusetts Society, Sons of the American Revolution, for proficiency in American History was not given last year, but we expect to be able to award it this year to a Junior or Senior in the present American History class.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Jan. 1, 1927.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
I respectfully submit my first report as Supervisor of Music in the Town of Rutland.
The schools of North and West Rutland are visited twice each month and music instruction carried on in a uniform way as far as possible, all depending on the age and ability of the pupils.
In the First Grade, children are learning rote songs, which later are to be analyzed and used for ear and eye train- ing. The Intermediate and Upper Grades are working for greater power and independence in sight-reading in their song studies, and are also learning patriotic and home songs. together with songs for special occasions. At Rutland Cen- ter the work in Grades I and II is divided into three classes. The most important part, as in all grades, is the singing of songs, always working for correct intonation and firm rhythm.
The child who cannot carry a tune is taught to listen carefuly to the more musical children and is encouraged to watch pitches until able to sing the songs of the advanced pupils.
Grade II is receiving special work in ear training, and rhythm is developed through motions and singing games.
Grades III and IV are learning rote songs for special
105
occasions and for the enjoyment of singing, but separate work is given in their song studies and drill.
Grades V and VI have begun the regular IV grade pro- gram. They have made good progress in sight-reading and are working to improve the tone quality instead of being indif- ferent to the voice used. A number of rote songs have been learned as a means of expression of pleasure in song.
Grades VII and VIII have recently taken up their work in Book III. Although handicapped at the beginning of the year for proper material, I feel that the work is progressing. satisfactorily. Unison and two-part songs are here used.
I have been disappointed in giving lessons in Music Ap- preciation as both phonographs are out of repair. They are very essential in listening lessons, and a material aid in sing- ing patriotic and home songs.
In the High School all voices have been tested and three-part singing introduced. The interest and enjoyment shown during the music period is very gratifying and the boys as well as the girls have shown considerable improve- ment in correct intonation on the part assigned. Here the aim is to secure a free, correct use of the voice and to interpret correctly the mode and sentiment of each song.
A Glee Club of mixed voices has been formed and special instruction given during the noon hour.
I have given a few talks on our National airs and folk music, but had no phonograph for purposes of illustration.
I wish to thank all who are in any way associated in my work in the schools for their great help and co-operation.
ANNIE P. STEVENSON,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Dec. 31, 1926.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The work in drawing in each of the grade schools from January to June, 1926, was as follows :- practice in lettering and drawing of animal pictures, later combined in the making of animal posters. Some of these were entered in the M. S. . P. C. A. poster contest held at Boston in April. Early American artists and their works were next studied. The notes and pictures collected for this study were sewed and bound in book form in some of the grades.
The High School freehand drawing class did leather tooling and drew in pencil and pen and ink. The mechanical drawing class finished as much work as time allowed.
The fall term work in the grades began with nature and1 figure drawing followed by elementary study of color. Con - struction problems were given during December. The work for the remainder of the year will include drawing from imag- ination, art appreciation, poster making, further study of color and nature drawing.
The freehand and mechanical drawing classes meet on alternate weeks. In the former class, enamel painting has been done, and other crafts besides sketching and poster- making are planned. The latter class has been doing elem- entary drafting.
It has been a very interesting school year. The teach- ers deserve much credit for the school work done by the pupils.

Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools :
This report covers the period from January 1, 1926 to 1927.
Medical Inspection
We were very fortunate in securing Dr. Arthur M. Kim- berly, childrens' specialist, for our School Physician, as he has given our children a very efficient examination of the throat, heart, lungs, mouth and posture. This physical exam- ination is given to ascertain as nearly as possible the exact condition of the children, to point out defects to parents, that they may correct them, thus safeguarding their children from serious trouble later.
Teaching from a medical standpoint, the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of· cure," seems to be in line with the idea of a thorough physical examination which everyone should have every year. We are starting with the children, hoping that they will continue all through their lives, to have a doctor for a friend, and have him check thetu over year after year. This would lead to a correction of errors in diet, exercise, and living conditions that may pro- long an active and vigorous life much longer than we are accustomed to.
Our aim for the children is Good Health. The definition of good health is "To live most and to serve best," (J. F. Wil- liams).
108
Weighing and Measuring
·
The children have been weighed four times during the year. This is done to show how the children are gaining, and to check up on the child's growth. All children should gain a little, altough some will gain more than others. We try to impress the normal weight children to keep their weight up to what it should be. The children 6 percent to 9 percent below weight are urged to help themselves to gain their weight. In the case of children who are 10 percent and more underweight, I am trying to get in touch with the parents, to co-operate with them in trying to find the cause, and to see what can be done to help them gain their normal weight.
Lunches
Most of the schools are serving a lunch at recess of crackers and milk. We especially urge the underweight children to take this extra milk, as milk is the best known food to bring children up to normal weight, and to promote a normal growth. Milk is not a fat producer but is a muscle, flesh and bone builder. The parents have co-operated with us, and have urged their children to take this extra milk dur- ing the day, either buying it at school or bringing it from home.
A hot lunch at noon is so beneficial to growing children that we hope to have some means of providing it for more children in the future.
Teaching Health Habits
It has been my pleasure to assist the teachers in teach- ing health habits in regard to food, cleanliness, fresh air, rest. sleep and play. If these good habits are started in childhood and become real habits, they will last a life-time as do thejr other habits. Let us strive to start our ittle folks on the right road to permanent good health.
109
Clinics
In June there was held in Rutland a clinic for administer- ing the Schick Test, and the immunizing doses of Toxin Anti- toxin for Diphtheria prevention. 100 percent of all the chil- dren Schicked showed that they were susceptible. Nearly all the children that were Schicked took the immunizing doses and are safe for twelve years at least. We are planning to hold another Clinic in the spring and hope to have the chii- dren of the four towns immunized against Diptheria.
The Parent-Teacher Association of Rutland is working hard to have a Dental Clinic in the near future. We hope to carry out the suggestion from the State Department of Pub- lic Health, Hygiene Division, to care for the 6 year, 9 year and 12 year molars and to preserve these teeth from future decay if possible; then fill all the present cavities of the chil- dren in the school. 'We hope this clinic will help the parents who do not have the time to have this work done in Wor- cester.
Communicable Diseases
We cannot control any epidemic in the school without the parents' co-operation. Children who are known to have been exposed to any contagious disease should be kept at home during the incubation period for the safety of the other children in the school. This is one way in which to show our "Community Spirit."
Vaccination
There are a few children who have not been vaccinated. These children should be vaccinated or have a certificate from their family physician saying that they are not in a fit physical condition. This certificate must be presented to the school-teacher every year at least, according to the Massa- chusetts law.
110
Sanitorium
Four children have been entered at the Westfield State Sanatorium, suffering from Hilum Tuberculosis, to stay for a period of six months, more or less.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Jan. 1, 1927.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
In commenting on the physical examination of the chi !- dren may I say that on the whole they seem in very good condition. A great many remedial defects exist. The most frequently occuring being defects in the early (deciduous) teeth. Among the older children there is a much greater tendency to keep the teeth defects corrected.
I should say that the response to notices on defects sent in previous years has been very good. The better the financial status of the parents and the more enlightened they are, the more quickly these notices are responded to.
A school room is very much like a home. In the hands of one teacher it may be very cheerful and orderly and pleasant, while in the hands of another it may be very bleak and forbidding. With only one or two exceptions, I think that the teachers have made very much indeed out of the possibilities of their school rooms. Several of the rooms are exceptionally well managed and cared for.
The actual equipment for heating, ventilation, etc. in the various buildings, you are doubtless familiar with. In some of the schools this is very much better than in others. Cen- tralization has always meant a great improvement in equip- ment.
ARTHUR M. KIMBERLY, M. D .. School Physician.
