It is our ambition in the near future to have each pupil pro- gress so far that he may receive a diploma previous to entering the High School. Present indications point to the realization of this hope.
SCHOOL GARDENS
(Report of Miss Sarah E. Brassill, Supervisor of School Gardens and Clubs)
A department that has been under one supervisor from the beginning is not likely to show radical changes in any one year. There will be, instead, a broadening and deepening of the work as that supervisor sees it.
218
Lessons in gardening given in the seventh and eighth grades are the starting point. This is required work. Having a home garden is optional. About one in five chooses to have one. There were one hundred eighty-seven gardens this year. Others elect some other form of self-expression,-food-handicraft-poultry --- clothing-small fruits-canning-all of which have come to be included in the work of the department, and which, with the larger home gardens, constitute the Club Work. These clubs, with the amount of work involved, are made possible only through the willing assistance of teacher leaders and pupil leaders. Nine teachers and six pupils (three of these from the Agricultural Department of the High School) are giving their services. We are also helped, directly and indirectly, by the departments with which the club work correlates. We do not teach all of these subjects, but build on the teaching already given, and always the supervisor in charge is recognized as the final authority in method and technique.
During the year emphasis has been placed on the privileges and opportunities of country life. We have tried, through ob- servation and literature, to find more in a garden than digging and planting and harvesting. There is evidence that we are having some success in this effort.
The outings taken through the year have been a help. In early spring, eighty-one pupils attended the Achievement Day exercises at the Norfolk County Agricultural School and took part in the program. That we took such an acceptable part in the club . singing is due to the help of the supervisors and teachers who trained our chorus and our quartette. This is an- other instance of our indebtedness to other departments. Cooking, handicraft and sewing were shown at this time, as part of a county exhibit. At the annual meeting of the Norfolk County Economics Department, a little later, we shared in the clothing and in the poster ,exhibit. That our posters on health were prom- inently placed is due to our training in art. These exhibits give us an opportunity to measure ourselves and our work.
In July we were fortunate enough to be given a field day on home grounds, with the help of the County Club Agent and an expert from the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station. Plenty of valuable instruction interspersed with fun marked the day. Later, with the help of several parents, we were able to take a party of twenty pupils to the Experiment Station to attend the Market Gardener's Field Day. We spent one profitable day visiting the club gardens in a nearby town.
Such outings are valuable in that they show us what others are doing. Our young people see how the problems of farm life are being met. They see that. digging and delving are not the whole story. There are openings for the most ambitious students if they fit themselves to take part in the progressive work that is being done. There is the problem of creating and selecting new varieties of plants; of adapting the variety of soil and climate; of control of insect and fungus pests; of farm machinery and engineering; of farm chemistry; of farm business in storing and
249
distribution; of farm education in supervisory and extension work; all calling for interesting workers with trained minds. Seeing these things develops that broad outlook which helps us to understand. that the tiny garden plot is a starting place and foundation for an intelligent selection of a life work. In that the club work, and the duties and privileges connected with it, are optional, it is apt to call out the activities of those who are best able to profit by it. Members learn the lesson of cause and effect. No verbal excuse will cover a weedy garden or bridge the chasm between success and failure. No plausible plea will hide the lack of "a guiding thought and a skillful hand."
In September we held our first annual exhibit in cooperation with the Agricultural Department to which we have been indebted for many favors. Later. we organized, in cooperation with the department, a union of all High School clubs in whatever course the members may be majoring.
Throughont the year we have been at work on the grounds of the Pratt School. The work has been financed through the kindness of the trustee of the Pratt Fund. The idea is to develop the grounds as a natural wild flower reservation and, as far as may be, a bird sanctuary. Already we have forty three varieties of the rarer native shrubs and small plants. We have also three hundred bulbs in nine varieties, to welcome the spring, when the work will be continued. The conditions here are ideal and the grounds should become a center of beauty, suggestion, and in- spiration.
On the whole, it has been an enjoyable year. Not every seventh grade pupil may be able to take in the trend and the scope of the work he is doing, but he may be directed toward a view of his position as a contributor and sharer in the life of his world.
SCHOOL NURSE
(Report of Miss Anna A. MacDavitt, R. N., School Nurse)
This report brings to a close one of the busiest and most interesting years in the history of school nursing in Weymouth.
In addition to the routine work, it has been necessary to investigate a number of needy cases, the majority of these being among new families.
Every year we are called upon to aid some of our children who are in need of clothes, food or medical attention. The school nurse is usually the one to investigate these cases and find someone to relieve the condition, in order that the children may return to school. This year more than twenty-five such cases have been cared for.
The opening of the Opportunity Class in May 1929 was the fulfillment of several years of preparation. One room in the Junior Annex was occupied for the remainder of the school year. Fourteen children, ages ranging from eight to fifteen years, made un the class, with one teacher in charge. Although only a few
250
weeks remained before the summer vacation, enough was ac- complished to prove the value of such a class.
At the beginning of school, in September the class opened with twenty pupils and two teachers. Two pupils entered later, making a class of twenty-two. A second room was opened, Miss Miriam Stearns taking charge of the academic work and Miss Louise Barker of the vocational department. We are most for- tunate in securing these experienced teachers who came so highly recommended.
WEAVING IN THE "OPPORTUNITY" CLASS
In the academic room the pupils are taught individually and may progress according to their ability. The spirit of the class is excellent and the gain in scholarship noticeable. Only those who were fortunate enough to see the hand work exhibit at Clapp Memorial or in the class room can appreciate what has been accomplished along the vocational lines. Beautiful rugs and table runners have been woven and chairs re-caned by the older boys. Attractive bags, purses, mats and table runners have been made by the older girls, while the younger children have made puzzles and toys.
To Miss Evelyn Silvester, our Drawing Supervisor, we are indebted for the selection of our splendid equipment and artistic decorations. Miss Silvester has given freely of her time and knowledge to make this vocational class room a most pleasant and worthwhile work-room.

Each year finds added duties in this work, and without the splendid support of the entire school personnel, it would be im- possible for one person to accomplish what has to be done.
SEWING
(Report of Miss Marjorie E. Skinner, Supervisor of Sewing)
The Sewing Course in the seventh and eighth grades during the past year has followed much the same general plan as was used during the preceding year.
To arouse interest in economic conditions and to teach thrift by mending and darning, since "A stitch in times saves nine", is tlie aim of this course.
The use and care of sewing equipment is first taught the seventh grade girls. The fundamental stitches are taught and are used in making the sewing bag. Each girl takes' pride in decorating her bag with either a design or her monogram done
Taken to oculist

in cross-stitching. Skill is acquired in the use of the fundamental stitches. This is another aim of the course.
The making of useful Christmas gifts helps to encourage hand work and is enjoyed by the girls. Many girls have made stuffed animals for the smaller members of their families.
The girls are taught the use and care of the sewing machine. Skill in using the machine is acquired by most careful super- vision.
The making of practical underwear furnishes an excellent opportunity for applying the straight stitching and teaches the use of the French seam.
-The eighth grade girls are very enthusiastic in making their own dresses. They are instructed in the selection of suitable material for a practical dress and are taught how to apply a commercial pattern. This helps to stimulate thought and train in judgment and initiative.
The sleeveless dress or apron is the first problem for the eighth grade and is excellent since it brings in the review of the hand and machine sewing. This is followed by some underwear work either for themselves or other members of their families. The girls then make at least two dresses. one very simple with kimona sleeves, and the second more elaborate with set-in-sleeves.
The sewing course aims : -
1. To acquire skill in fundamental stitches.
2. To acquire skill in using sewing machine.
3. To use commercial patterns intelligently.
4. To acquire a knowledge of selection of material.
5. To arouse interest in economic conditions and thereby teach thrift.
