The Scituate School Committee takes pleasure in pre- senting the following reports for your perusal.
You may see activities in each department showing the advancement of the year.
It is very gratifying that the funds to accomplish these things are always so graciously forthcoming, and we pledge ourselves to use them to the best of our ability and judg- ment.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE RULING
School attendance - Admission to Grade I:
"Beginning with September, 1928, no child will be ad- mitted to school attendance unless such child has attained the age of five years and eight months on or before Sep- tember 1."
This is in conformity to the practice of many towns throughout the State.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Scituate:
The report which I am submitting for your considera- tion, in its statistics deals with the school year ending June 30, 1927, as that constitutes a completed period of school activities for which figures are available. In this respect a school report might more properly be made at the close of the school year rather than the calendar year. Since the town fiscal year and calendar year coincide, however, it is customary to make the school report at this time and so, aside from its statistics, most of this report will deal with the present school year and the preparations for it made during the past summer.
We were fortunate in having all of our elementary teachers return to their respective positions in September. One additional teacher, Miss Ethyl A. Oliver, a graduate of the three-year course at Bridgewater Normal School, was added to the teaching force of the Hatherly School, as an assistant in the three upper grades.
The resignations of the Principal of the High School and two assistants were received at the end of the year or during the early summer. Mr. Martin had served as head of the High School for a period of seven years, during which time he stressed through his own efforts and those of his teaching staff, high scholarship and good citizenship. Miss Pierson and Miss Howe had both done consistently credit- able work in their departments. I am sure that our best wishes go to these teachers in their new positions.
Mr. A. Russell C. Cole, for the past five years Principal of the Maynard High School, assumed his duties as our High School Principal in September. Mr. Cole came to us with an intimate knowledge of secondary school affairs and his administration of the school deserves commendation. A
8
Report of Superintendent of Schools
high standard of scholarship is being maintained, and Mr. Cole has the loyalty of his associates and pupils. Miss Marion Freeman, formerly a teacher in the Bath (Maine) High School was elected to the Latin and French position. No successor was chosen to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Miss Howe as it was possible, by making certain readjusments and on account of a smaller enroll- ment, to carry on the work of the Household Arts Depart- ment with one teacher, without impairing its efficiency. Under this arrangement Miss Glea Cole, a graduate of the Household Arts Course last year is taking charge of the cafeteria.
Just as this report is being completed the resignation of Miss Barrows has been received, that she may accept a larger and more attractive position in Connecticut. Miss Barrows has been the head of this department from its beginning and her going means a real loss to the High School organization. Her successor has not yet been chosen.
A change has also been made in the Health Depart- ment. Dr. Derby, for the past six years Scituate School Dentist, terminated his services here in November and we were fortunate in securing Dr. Parsons as his successor.
A number of major repairs were made in our school- houses during the past summer, the work for the most part being let out on bids. The Hatherly schoolhouse roof was reshingled and one of the schoolrooms painted. At the Jenkins School about sixty pupils' desks were refinished and the basement whitened. The driveways to both of these buildings were treated with a coating of tarvia.
The interiors of all rooms at the High School were painted and calcimined and new shades provided for all the windows, these improvements making a very agreeable change in the appearance of the inside of the building. In addition to this the heating system was thoroughly inspected and additions made which have increased very much its heating efficiency. This included more radiation in two of the rooms, ventilator caps for the tops of the stacks, and the installation of special valves on the feed pipes. .
9
Report of Superintendent of Schools
During the present school year, electric lighting fixtures have been installed in all the rooms at the Jenkins School and in one more room at the Hatherly School. Window shades have been purchased for each of the classrooms at the Jenkins School. A few pieces of school furniture have also been added.
My recommendations for the coming year include the placing of shades in the Hatherly building and the House- hold Arts Department of the High School, filling in around the back and sides of the Jenkins School with good gravel or other suitable material to eliminate the muddy condition that exists in the spring and during the warm days of winter, and alterations at the Hatherly building to provide for another classroom.
The last recommendation may need some explanation. In this school there are five classrooms and eight grades. Under the present conditions it is necessary to have double grades in three of the rooms. It seems entirely likely that on account of the number of pupils enrolled in each grade it will be necessary to have Grades I and II in separate rooms another year. This would mean combining Grades VII and VIII, making a total of not less than forty pupils, which would not be a desirable arrangement; a sixth room could be used to good advantage. The plan that we have in mind for accomplishing this work contemplates the expendi- ture of about $4,000, which is approximately the amount that was turned back to the excess and deficiency account by the School Department at the end of 1927.
In my report of last year I stated that an evening school program for classes in Americanization might profitably be incorporated as a part of our public school work. Follow- ing out that suggestion an evening school of two classes was started at the Hatherly building on Octob r 10. In the beginners class there are seven adults enrolled and in the intermediate, seventeen, the former being in charge of Mrs. George W. Burrill, and the latter of Miss Anne L. Cunneen. We were very fortunate in having a teacher pre- pared to take charge of this work. In addition to her two
10
Report of Superintendent of Schools
years' experience in teaching evening classes, Miss Cunneen had completed teacher-training courses in Americanization and received her state certificate for this work. I feel that our evening school has been entirely worth while. The inter- est and progress of the pupils have been steady. It may be well to add that as long as we meet State requirements and approval, the Town is reimbursed for one-half the instruction cost of these classes.
May I again bring to your attention the need of an enlargement in our schoolhouse facilities. For the past two years the entering classes in both the Hatherly and Jenkins Schools have been large. If this increase is normal, which seems likely, both of these schools will be overcrowded in the near future. To meet this problem the plan which seems most feasible and that is in accordance with approved edu- cational procedure, is to build a sizable addition or addi- tions onto the present High School to accommodate the seventh and eighth grades of both the Hatherly and Jenkins Schools, making a combined Junior-Senior High School. At the same time provision should be made for a new assembly hall and a gymnasium. These are frequently closely con- nected being separated by movable partitions and on occasions may be thrown into one room to accommodate large gatherings. Very necessary adjuncts of the gymnasium are shower baths and dressing rooms for both boys and girls. The present manual training quarters are entirely inadequate, being small, poorly lighted and heated, and any new construction should take care of the needs of this department. If all of these requirements are properly met, the new building investment must be substantial.
Purchases of supplies this year have included more than one hundred volumes for the High School Library, a set of Carpenter's World Travels for each of the elmentary schools, an electric refrigerator for the use of the Household Arts classes, and a Wallace Bench Planer and Clark Port- able Sander for the use of the Manual Trainng Department. Fire-resisting filing cabinets have also been placed in the offices of the High School Principal and the Superintendent.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
In closing, let me call your attention to the reports of the High School Principal, the Music and Art Supervisors, the School Physician, the School Dentist and the School Nurse. The usual statistical tables are appended.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD C. WINGATE, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF HEADMASTER OF HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Harold C. Wingate,
Superintendent of Schools,
Scituate, Mass.

The observations included herein cover but a short period of the school year (sixteen weeks) and conclusions made are based on that premise. The work of the opening weeks of the school year was facilitated by the completed efforts of my predecessor. His accomplishments during the years of his service are clearly evidenced.
The progress of the work in the different departments has been, I believe, satisfactory, the pupils in general mani- festing a proper interest in their various subjects and their reaction to increased duties is favorable.
Clubs have been formed in some of the departments to further the interest and to enlarge the field of study in those departments; namely, the French and Latin Club in the Language Department; the History Club in the History Department; and the Radio Club in the Science Depart- ment. These clubs, I believe, will bring material benefit to the pupil. The acquisition of new books of reference for our
13
Report of Headmaster of High School
library, supplementing different courses of study, has greatly aided the pupils and teachers in their work.
There is need of a room in the building to accommodate all pupils having a study period during any period of the day, and to be used solely as a study room. Pupils find it impossible to study satisfactorily in a room in which a class is being conducted, and a recitation in progress. It deprives them of time that under favorable conditions would permit concentration on the preparation of their assignments.
A course in vocational guidance added to our curricu- lum and open to all pupils would, I feel, meet a pressing need. Too many pupils, ignorant of what the different voca- tions offer, go through high school, graduate, and find them- selves uncertain as to what line of work to follow. A detailed study and exposition in this field would properly direct the individual to a fitting and suitable occupation.
The recommendation by the State Board of Education for physical education in the high school is imperfectly carried out. We organize a few athletic teams and engage in seasonable contests. While these, I believe, are necessary and beneficial when properly subordinated to the regular -school study, the problem of financing these activities is difficult. The cost of equipping athletic teams and defray- ing the expenses of a season in the various sports is con- siderable, and methods used to raise sufficient funds for this purpose frequently meet with criticism and opposition.
An appropriation by the Town to aid the school in carrying out this program of physical education would greatly relieve the conditions mentioned.
Senior Commercial pupils numbering thirteen have won twenty awards in shorthand and thirty-two awards in type- writing. These awards are given by the different type- writer companies and the Gregg Company. All papers are corrected by them and a mark of ninety-five per cent must be obtained. In shorthand, eleven have won the sixty word certificate; seven have their eighty word certificate, and two have won the one hundred word certificate. The dictation is on new matter, generally Congressional Reports, given for five minutes at the above rates.
14
Report of Headmaster of High School
The mechanical drawing course conducted in connec- tion with the manual training work is proving popular and instructive. In all the projects undertaken by the depart- ment complete drawings have to be submitted before the actual work begins. The design, cost and time are some of the important items considered.
The annual exhibition of finished articles and drawings will be on display at the Welch Lumber Company during the latter part of February.
The work in the Mathematics and Science Department and also in the Language Department is meeting the re- quirements of the College Entrance Board.
I would like at this point and through this medium to make recognition of those gifts made to the high school by individuals and organizations who so generously indicate their interest in the school.
In closing this report may I express my gratification to the pupils of the school for their willing adaptation to the somewhat new conditions, to the teachers for their sincere cooperation, to the citizens for their interest and support, and to you, Superintendent, for the valuable assistance and constructive counsel given me in the opera- tion and discharge of my duties.
Respectfully submitted,
A. RUSSELL C. COLE, Headmaster.

Report of Supervisor of Music
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. H. C. Wingate, Superintendent of Schools,
Scituate, Mass.
Dear Sir: In considering this report, I have been able to review the results of the music work in our schools with a degree of satisfaction never before attained. Our objec- tives are no longer a vision; but a definite and realized con- dition which justifies the dignified place accorded us in the curriculum.
May I say that first of all comes our gratitude for your own understanding and liberal attitude toward the possi- bilities of the subject; your prompt response with needed material that has contributed so largely to the grade of work to which we now call your attention with pride. I want also to mention the portable organ recently installed at Jenkins School to the delight of teachers and pupils alike. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the unfail- ing support and cooperation received from principals and teachers, which I acknowledge with deep appreciation.
We are now realizing as a matter of natural develop- ment one of the fundamental objectives of education, namely, a worthy use of leisure, through the organization of a number of smaller groups; thus socializing a subject which lends itself better than any other in the curriculum, to such phases. The advanced vocal groups are as rapidly as possible being divided into quartet units, a plan success- fully followed elsewhere, and one I have long wished to adopt. Similar instrumental groups are being formed.
The possibilities of such units, carried to a high degree of efficiency, are of inestimable importance in their contacts with our community life; and this last is, as you know, my own evaluation of my work as your Supervisor of Music.
Substantial checks during the past year from the
16
Report of Supervisor of Music
Woman's Club, the Welfare League, the Mt. Hope Improve- ment Association, for orchestral material, and the beautiful cello recently presented to the High School Orchestra by the Scituate Police Association are gratefully acknowledged as indicating a growing interest on the part of the com- munity in what these boys and girls are trying to do.
The fact that we are now able to contribute acceptable and valued members, vocal and instrumental, to practically every local organization cannot be too highly valued - and we may say quite frankly that we have only begun to do what we hope to do in this way.
This is not only my life work, but is the work of my heart tendered to the children of Scituate so that we may some day have in reality - Music for Every Child and Every Child for Music.
Pledging myself anew in faith and loyalty to the service of Scituate for the best in school and community music, this is
Respectfully submitted,
JEANNE BRADFORD, Supervisor of Music.

Report of Supervisor of Art
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART
Mr. H. C. Wingate,
Superintendent of Schools,
Scituate, Mass.
My Dear Sir: I submit the following report for the year 1927. The subject matter taught in the Art Department and the various outlets for this subject matter have been so definitely outlined in previous reports that I simply refer to those reports, anyone interested in the aims and methods now being used. As to the development of the work in Scituate, this can be said: When a supervisor has been in the same place a few years, she can follow the develop- ment of the work as it is seen in the interest of the children and in their ability to do the work from grade to grade. The growth of the ability to do and the success of the vocabulary method in the carrying on from year to year may be shown in the following statements.
High School classes are now doing work which could not have been done a few years ago when there was no background of grade work. The High School was then doing work now properly done in Grades V and VI. The elemen- tary grades are now doing work then done in the grammar grades. To this vocabulary method has been added work in creative expression and, in the High School, work from the models. Because some children may never really master draftmanship, of as great importance as the development in actual handwork is the growth of interest in and love for the work. This leads eventually to an appreciation of all art work and an ability to see beauty in everything. There is no lack of interest in Scituate. Because of the fine leaders Scituate has given to art education, Scituate Schools have an added interest in art work.
With the room teacher, perhaps more than she realizes, rests a great deal of the responsibility for the success of the
18
Report of Supervisor of Art
work. Under the same supervisor the attitude in different rooms may be entirely opposite. It is only fair to give credit to our regular teachers.
As to equipment : Of course the new ideal for all schools, Elementary and Grammar as well as High School, is to have an art room in which all materials for drawing, cutting, painting and modelling are kept. To this room all classes come for the art lessons to work at tables or easels. This is, of course, impossible in Scituate, but is mentioned here to show the new trend.
The art room at High School is greatly appreciated. Much can be done to make this room of even greater value. We are arranging hangings and light shades, the expense here being met by the money earned by the department in cooperation with the Music Department. A set of carving tools for block printing work has been ordered with the money won at Marshfield Fair. The Art Club organized this year finds its only difficulty in arranging meetings which do not interfere with the schedule.
The club has received a splendid gift from Mrs. Walter Sargent in the four books from Dr. Sargent's personal li- brary. Because of the love and appreciation Scituate boys and girls had for Dr. Sargent, the Art Club is happy and proud to receive these books as the first gift to their Art Room Library.
The teachers room at High School is under construc- tion for re-decoration. It is hoped that permanent hangings may be had for the assembly hall so that the platform may be enclosed as a stage for class plays and assembly enter- tainments. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the support of this department.
Respectfully yours,
DORIS D. WARD, Supervisor of Art.
19
Report of School Physician
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee, Scituate, Mass .:
I have frequently visited the schools during the past year, either in response to calls or for the purpose of exam- ining the pupils. All the pupils in the first eight grades have been examined individually. There have been no epidemics thus far this year, and the number of contageous diseases has been practically nil.
We are planning to give the preventive treatment for diphtheria to all who wish, and for that reason blank forms have been sent to parents for their consent, forty-five have responded, and there will be about fifteen more, which is a fairly good start, as the remainder will, I think, follow next year when they see how little trouble or discomfort is caused by the preventive treatment. This treatment is indorsed by all insurance companies, and public health departments. The law with regard to vaccination for small pox is being inforced.
The need for a gymnasium at the High School is becom- ing more apparent each year. The need for shower baths after strenuous exercise, a hall for indoor sports during inclement weather will become more useful as the physical side of school training is more stressed.

Report of the School Dentist
-
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST
Superintendent of Schools,
Scituate, Mass.
Dear Sir: On December 9, 1927, the dental clinic in the Scituate Schools was taken over by me. Examinations were made through the fourth grade at Jenkins and through the fifth grade at Hatherly. The actual work being imperative, the rest of the examinations were postponed.
Child welfare specialists are agreed that the early dental work performed on young children is amply repaid in good health. With this idea in mind work was started on the first grade, gradually working upwards to the higher grades. Each year the little first graders receive this atten- tion, becoming accustomed to going to the dentist regularly as a matter of course, in much the same way as they go to the barbers.
The District Nurse assists in the clinic making the appointments, keeping the records, etc., thus saving the dentist time, and enabling him to see more children per day.
A great medical authority has said that the next step in preventive medicine lies in dentistry. We believe that preventive dentistry in the schools will do much to safe- guard and prolong the lives of our coming generation, and we hope to make the school dental clinic in Scituate a real factor in safeguarding the health of the community.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIS B. PARSONS, D.M.D.
