The above is an outline of a typical project used in our General Science classes. Using this as a base, the pupils secure information from textbooks, reference works, and magazines dealing with the subject, as well as using much knowledge from their everyday experiences.
The information obtained is discussed in class and ar- ranged in order in the pupils' science notebook.
After all possible material has been obtained and re- corded, oral and written reviews are used to check up on the class, to see that the information obtained has be- come a part of the pupil's working knowledge.

OUR MUSIC PROGRAM
JEANNE E. BRADFORD Supervisor of Music
Our music program offers practically every phase of vocal and instrumental music that may be properly in- cluded in a school program, and every child is given am- ple time and opportunity to enjoy and participate in the best music.
As school music has become increasingly complex, points of emphasis have shifted, methods have been sim- plified, so-called "short cuts" and devices employed be- cause of proven worth.
A constant effort is made toward a flexible program adapted to the interests, activities and life situations of the children of today. But our goal-a sincere love of good music with the attendant skills necessary to its fullest enjoyment-remains unchanged.
This year's record enrollment in the various music ac- tivities of the Senior High School, taxing the music room far beyond its capacity, is ample proof of sustained in- terest in the subject, and also furnishes a space problem for a more satisfactory solution than has yet been found.
While our crowded schedules afford limited opportunity for formal programs, each year the several schools pro- duce a worth-while cantata, and last year the Junior High gave a highly creditable performance of an operet- ta, "The Bamboo Box".
This year the Senior High has focussed its efforts in this regard on special assemblies in observance of the
26
various holidays, beginning with Armistice Day. Dif- ferent groups have contributed the musical parts of the program, which have included also much singing by the entire student body.
With the varied resources of the many departments such assemblies may be of great value in many ways, and it. is my hope that they may be made a permanent part of our program.
Christmas week was observed by carol singing every morning in the main corridor at Senior High and public carol programs were given the last two days of that week in every school.
The beauty and spiritual uplift of these programs make it impossible to discriminate between the staircase sing- ing at Hatherly, the carols and original play at Jenkins, the candle-light service of Junior High, and the final program of tableaux of many lands with appropriate carols sung by a choir stationed high above the auditori- um at Senior High.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Voters of Scituate :-
In our report for the year 1935, we wish to thank everyone who has helped to make the year a successful one for the Park Department.
During the year, we were unable to make shrubs and parks look at their best owing to the scarcity of rain.
All the small parks about town were taken care of to the best of our ability with the amount of money with which we were provided.
The Women's Betterment Club gave us nine spruce trees and six cement seats were donated by other citizens for the common.
We were also given two spruce trees for Lawson's Park, by an interested voter in the town.
Respectfully Submitted, ERNEST F. LITCHFIELD, Chairman,
JOHN F. DALBY, GEORGE YENETCHI, Park Commissioners.

MUNICIPAL AMBULANCE
The ambulance purchased under your direction in conformity with the vote of the March meeting of 1935, has proven an in-valuable asset in a humanitarian service.
From April 28th, when the ambulance was accepted and placed in service to December 31st, seventy-five (75) patients were conveyed to and from hospitals or to the home of the patient. Of this number fifty-nine (59) of the patients were resident-tax payers and no charge was made for this service. The remaining sixteen (16)

of the patients were non residents, victims of motor ve- hicle collisions and in three (3) cases, patients from Marshfield were cared for, during a period when the Marshfield ambulance was out of commission.
Charges were made and bills rendered in the above cases, totaling $255.00, of this amount the sum of $110.00 was received and as many of these cases are protected by liability insurance, we are confident that much of the balance due on these accounts will be received in due time by the town.
