REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


To the Superintendent :


The number of pupils attending the high school this year is about the same as last year. Since September, however, the families of several students have moved away and the en- rollment at the present time is as follows: one boy and five girls in the Senior Class, one boy and eight girls in the Junior Class, four boys and six girls in the Sophomore Class, and fifteen boys and four girls in the Freshman class. This makes a total of forty-two students now in high school. It is regret- able to observe that so few boys reach the graduating class, but it is hoped that the continuation of extra curricula activ- ities and possibly the introduction of suitable courses: will bring about a desire to graduate. As the years go on, there is no question but what the possession of a good education is becoming more and more valuable, and this fact is frequently brought to the attention of the students.


While the enrollment is not large as compared with high schools in other towns, yet the program of studies, the extra curricula activities, and the equipment is such that any boy or girl in this community may receve a good education. Last June, the high schools of Holden, Princeton, Sterling, and Rutland gave the same achievement tests in Algebra, Geome- try, Latin, French, English, and General Science to students, and it is interesting to note that in most of the results, the medians were not so very far apart. It was gratifying to observe that Rutland students were among some of the first three places in at least four of the subjects.


The program of studies has been enlarged by the addition of a course in Domestic Science, open to Freshman and Sophomore girls. This addition necessitated installing cook- ing and sewing equipment, painting the ketchen, and ingreas-


100


ing and sewing equipment, painting the kitchen, and increas- improvement and worth while. All the girls in the two classes elected to take the course, which shows its popularity. I feel that some course in practical arts is missing for the boys, but it would be difficult to put in such a course in the present building.


Rutland is not on the list of schools approved by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board, but I hope to be in a position to take steps to place the school on the list. I think it means so much more to the standing of the school and I feel sure that we have the necessary curriculum, staff of teachers, and equipment that will meet the approval of the Board. While we are not on the list, it is possible to send a student by means of the "specimen" privilege.


Of the eight students who graduated last year, one is now in Worcester Polytechnic Institute, one is in Worcester State Normal School, four are in Business Colleges, one is training for a nurse, and one is employed in a store. I am glad so many of them are continuing their studies.


In regard to extra curricula activities, athletics are an · important feature. They help to keep the students interested in school and yet, at the same time, learn the value of team play. The basketball teams made a very good record last "year, the boys trimming ten games our of fourteen while the * won twelve, tied one, and lost three (two to Gardner High School). The girls have a very good team this year and a great deal of credit goes to Miss Mildred Secord, who is coach- ing them. The boys' team this year is composed, practically, of new material.


Dramatics this year is under the direction of Miss Marion Giles. In February a play "Chintz Cottage" will be pre-


:


101


sented, the preceeds of which will be for the benefit of the Senior Class.


At the high school prize speaking contest last year, Carol Bird won first prize for the girls and Milton Lloyd won first prize for the boys. Cups were again donated by the Rutland Grange and the Rutland Parent Teacher Association. At the second annual Northern Worcester County Prize Speaking Contest at Holden, Carol Bird won second prize.


The question of equipment comes up for consideration each year, and probably will as long as the high school is in the present building. The main additions this year have been the desks in Grange Hall, enough lockers for the boys, the new stove, and cooking equipment in the kitchen. Miss Eleanor Hyde, the Domestic Science teacher, has the latter equipment very well arranged and the kitchen certainly pre- sents a much better appearance than formerly.


During the summer considerable work was done in grading the playground but more work is needed in order to ; complete it. The Parent Teacher Association and the gram- mar school pupils have $30.00 that can be used for playground equipment but I have delayed spending it until I knew how. much grading was going to be done.


I wish to thank the Parent Teacher Association for their support. Besides taking charge of the dental clinic and raising funds for playground equipment, they have provided the high school reading table with a magazine.


I wish also to thank the Teachers, Superintendent, and School Committee for their cooperation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND D. KELSEY, Principal.

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools:


Various opportunities are offered in the Rutland Schools for musical experience.


In every year of school life, time is given for singing. This year, Christmas Carols were sung by the children of the first six grades at the December meeting of the Parent Teacher Association. Students of the Junior High were also prepared to participate but did not, owing to difficulty in transport- ation. Last spring, representatives were sent from each grade to Holden to take part in the May concert. In Febru- ary, and again in December, the High School students presented operettas for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The music periods, in general, would be greatly improved with the addition of supplementary music material.


More opportunities were offered this year for instru- mental work. The ryhthm band has been introduced into the primary rooms. The children learn to play their various instruments, keeping time to the music of the victrola. It is excellent training and furnishes much enjoyment, besides. The new Orthophonie Victrola which is being purchased, will be of great assistance in training the rhythm band.


A violin class has recently been organized. There are S enrolled. The purpose of the class is to furnish an inexpen- sive way to find out if the child has the proper ability to play a violin.


I wish to thank the superintendent, principals and teach- ers for their cooperation the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


Mary R. Spofford


103


REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools:


The time has passed when drawing is of value to the com- parative few who have unusual ability or talent. Surely in this age of such general use of color and decorative design in businesses of all kinds, some training along these lines will be of very practical use to the average child in his future life. Therefore we aim to make our projects practical and bring them within the tbility of the average child. We believe that asthetic appreciation is more easily developed through the actual experience of creating some object.


The years work is divided into three groups. In the fall we study nature, using fall plants and flowers as subjects. In the upper grades and High School, original designs are devel- oped from these plant growht studies. These designs are applied in decorating ivorine objects, boxes and block print. ing. Lettering alphabets are studied, and posters made using the children's own freehand patterns. The holidays are ob- served by the making of special posters of colored papers. Freehand holiday cards are designed by the children in the up- per grades.


The aim of our winter work is proportion in all the grades. Simple foreshortening and perspective, also shading in the upper grades. We lay aside a part of the winter period for animal poster work. Interesting results were obtained last year. Several of our prize posters were exhibited in the Boston Public Library last year. We look foreward to this year's poster contest with interest.


During the Spring we study color, not only in nature, but in a more practical and scientific way, applying color to projects requiring a simple knowledge of color harmony.


104


Memory drawings of objects studied during the year are given at various times. The results have been most interesting, and often our attention is called to some fact which may help in project planning. Picture study for appreciation are given during the year and a memory test of this work also given.


We plan an exhibition of typical work done in our schools, to be held at the close of the school year.


Respectfully submitted

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools:


This report covers the period from January 1929 to January 1930.


Physical examinations were conducted as usual by Dr. Kimberly during the fall. It is encouraging from year to year to observe the increasing number of parents who feel the im- portance of having defects corrected in their children. This was particularly noticable during the medical inspection in the autumn.


The pupils are weighed and measured three times during the school year. A small but steady gain each month is an indication of normal growth. Weighing time is one of the best times to teach children about their health and to stimulate in them the desire to weigh the correct number of pounds for their age and height. Personal talks with the children and especially with the parents bring about the best results re- garding underweight children.


The clinic carried on by the State Department of Health, and called the "Ten Year Program" was held in September at . the Rutland Center School.


Number of children examined 9


Cases of Hilum Tuberculosis 5


Cases of Suspects 4


Cases improved 5


Cases unimproved 4


A Dental Clinic was held in Rutland for fourteen days, beginning December 11. This was sponsored by the Rutland Parent-Teacher Association through the cooperation of the


106


Worcester County Extension Service which furnished the dental chair and equipment and secured the services of Dr. C. E. Stewart.

Rutland had the best record of any town regarding the Summer Round Up Campaign in June. This was problably due to the fact that the Parent-Teacher Association took a large part of the responsibility. Members of this association, with the nurse, visited 22 homes. Of this number, 17 families responded, sending or bringing their children to the Center School for physical examination by Dr. Kimberly.


I consider it a real privilege to teach hygiene to the high school girls one period every two weeks. The general principles of health are taught as well as first aid, bandaging and home nursing.


One of our main projects this year is posture, and we are trying to correct round and stooped shoulders and flat chests. This cannot be accomplished unless the pupil desires it himself and it is the privilege and duty of the doctor, nurse, teacher, and parent to cooperate to this end.


As many home visits have been made as time would permit and good cooperation has been the result of most of these visits.


One pupil was selected to go to Sterling Health Camp this summer and was greatly benefitted by this experience. She gained two pounds. This vacation was possible through the Tuberculosis Seal Sale money at Christmas.


107


I wish to express at this time my appreciation for the helpful attitude and the willingness to cooperate on the part of teachers, parents and pupils.


Mildred Givan, R. N.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Superintendent of Schools :


The Fall examination of school children was unusually reassuring as to the value of school examination work. In the interim since the closing of schools many bad cases of diseased tonsils were corrected. The children this fall were in exceptionally good condition. Dental defects, which were so thoroughly cleaned up two years ago with the dental clinic are again making their appearance. It is very timely that we are again having this clinic. The educational value of this project is very worth while especially in regard to the care of the first, deciduous, set of teeth. The prejudice is very widespread in favor of doing nothing to these teeth, no matter how bad they may be.


Miss Givan has been very active in her campaign against poor posture. Results are noticed in a general improvement of posture. This is especially noticable in such instances where the teacher has caught the vision of improved posture and "carries on."


An innovation has been started in reporting various phys- ical defects. In the past we have been restrained from reporting many borderline conditions because insufficient data was available to make a definite, positive diagnosis. We are now noting these conditions as SUSPICIOUS, referring the


108


family directly to their physician who is in a position to get complete data in the form of further history, laboratory data, etc. This emphasizes the need of cordial relations and cooper- ation with the practicing physicians. It would be worth while at some time to have a meeting devoted to the possibil- ities (and limitations) of school health work.


The report would not be complete without an acknowl- edgment of the splendid work that is being done by Miss Givan as evidenced in her whole-hearted interest in the children's welfare. We also have enjoyed splendid cooper- ation of the teaching force in helping out with the school ex- amining.


Respectfully submitted, Arthur M. Kimberly, M. D.
