Ten periods per week have been arranged and it is hoped that another year smaller groups may be managed. The boys' groups are for the most part separate from the girls', allowing instrumental drawing to be introduced to the boys and their lessons on Representation and De-

sign are applied to lighting, automobiles, aeroplanes, en- gines, bridges, architecture and park and road planning.
A start has been made in planning in the art classes simple toys to be constructed in Manual Training. It is believed that part of the time in both boy and girl groups should be given to Art Appreciation so that those who do not elect Art in Senior High may have some foundation to help them as they grow to take their places as buyers of merchandise, builders of homes and citizens of the community.
With four months of the school year gone, a decided improvement in the work in Junior High has been noted. It is felt that this change will ultimately lead to a greater satisfaction and a larger High School Art Class enroll- ment.
Remodelling of the Art Room, its seating capacity. storage and bulletin space and equipment should be con- sidered. Instrumental Drawing must be restored to the course in Senior High and Crafts classes are advised.
With the additional time given to the Junior High, the Jenkins and the Hatherly Schools are visited on alter- nating weeks. Every other Friday, lessons are taught in Grades One through Six and the room teachers, follow- ing lessons outlined by the Supervisor, teach at least three lessons between each of these visits. The grade teachers have co-operated in a splendid way to put over this new but necessary plan.
Last year the Supervisor was able to visit many schools, to study other systems and to spend some time in consultation at the State Art School.
It is interesting to note the comment in recent Art Publications by different leaders in Art Education. Hav- ing decried any guidance of the child in his art expres-
29
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1933
sion it is now being recognized that Creative Expression comes only when given proper art language.
To quote Pedro J. Lemos of California, as progres- sive an educator as they come: "For years we tried to produce out of Blue skies the same results with art as that supposedly achieved in Europe without guidance. Today we know that no such work was produced in Europe and that sympathetic examination of these ex- hibits and schools have proven that Preparation and Guidance were preliminaries. The blue skies of enthusi- asm and imagination are needed, but the definite horizon of 'ground-work' gives footing and completes firm Art Education foundations."
Today the sources of free expression are now say- ing, "There must be some guidance and where the educa- tor preferred art teachers who did not draw too well for fear of doing too much for the child, they now know that the greatest incentive to art growth is the teacher who can lead."
"Where the presence of tools and paints has been urged as a visual stimulus, it is now recognized that there is no stimulus equal to a fine demonstration of what can be done with those tools by the art teacher. The Bailey slogan 'Draw and the child draws with you-talk and you talk alone' is truer than ever. A whole window full of pianos, guitars and harmonicas may not stir you to be- come a musician until someone easily produces beautiful chords on one of those instruments."
Art teachers are now being urged to vary their methods of teaching to meet the needs of the human material with which they work and to make the instruc- tion fit the different mentalities and abilities of the child.
Respectfully submitted,
DORIS D. WARD, Supervisor of Art.

ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938
REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Mr. Harold C. Wingate, Superintendent of Schools, Scituate, Massachusetts. Dear Sir:
Any new supervisor of music who enters a new community expects to undergo a strenuous change of principles and practices in order to adjust his teaching to the needs of the people. Unfortunately this change means the loss of months of progress, and the removal of much enthusiasm. In Scituate, however, such change has been unnecessary, and it is with the greatest appre- ciation that the present supervisor salutes a community which is flexible in its demands, utilizing the gifts of in- dividual teachers without question or restraint.
This commendable outlook by the parents and their representatives, the school committee, the superintend- ent, and the principals, has enabled growth in new direc- tions to take place in the short time of one school sem- ester. Upon the foundations laid by Miss Bradford, the retiring supervisor, plans have been laid and building begun for new classes, and for new kinds of work.
Children in the grade schools are confronted with the fundamental problems of music, and the solution of these problems is purposely left to their natural interest in music, and to the skill and experience of their class- room teachers with whom they spend most of their mu- sic periods. Enlightenment upon various phases of mu- sic with which the children have a listening acquaintance, serves as a source of educating entertainment. There are victrola records, cardboard instruments, and now is ad- ded a Saturday class in band instruments, which will en- able the maturing youngsters in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades to express themselves in auxiliary ways.
31
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938
While working for the future music students, what of the present group who are occupied with the serious business of meeting the requirements of graduation ? The great majority will have their music come to them on the radio, in concerts, and in church. Through glee club, orchestra and band instrument classes they are taught how music is produced, about the mental and physical energy necessary to enter into the spirit of a piece of mu- sic, and about the techniques for enjoying the great vari- ety of music which surrounds them. This group will know good music by the quality of emotion aroused, and the grade of performance heard.
The existence of so much good music in our churches and in other Scituate musical organizations is encourag- ing to the supervisor who teaches the students to get the best from their voices and instruments. The needs of these adult groups are similar, all requiring new talent who can read their music and help the performances they give to succeed. For the school to overlook these needs would not be good co-operation, and with energy, classes have set about finding for themselves the notes of strange pieces, and putting across their own performan- ces.
It has been said that a musical person can tell cor- rect pitch, exact time, and proper loudness. If many of our "unmusical" boys and girls can be made sensitive lo their own musical errors, it will be found that they, too, are as musical as others who have had advantages of music lessons at home. This does not guarantee artist- performance from school children, but it produces genu- ine music appreciation. The eye soon learns to see many things at a glance, and by the same token the ear can be trained to hear many things simultaneously, and it is the duty of a music department to train the child's ear.
32
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938
The ultimate goals which the music department has set for its students to achieve are an A Cappella Chorus which can perform music without assistance from a piano or a leader, and a Symphony Orchestra which can express faithfully the messages from the masters, and a Marching Band which can march and play with the best on the South Shore. No supervisor alone can hope to achieve this ambitious program in a short time, but with the splendid support evidenced by the community the accomplishment need not be long delayed.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP W. L. COX, JR., Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the Scituate School Committee:
I have as is customary examined the pupils of the various schools.
The later half of last year there were many cases of Chicken-Pox, but thus far this year there has been no epidemic of contagious disease, and the physical condit- ion of the pupils is excellent; at the time of the examina- tions there was practically none absent on account of sickness.
The Diphtheria preventive Clinic was continued this year thanks to the Board of Health.
The beneficial results of the Dental, and Tonsil Clinics are very apparent in many instances, and a con- tinuation of this excellent work is hoped for.
The buildings have received inspections at various times, and the janitors in all instances are to be com- mended for their excellent condition.
The usual spirit of co-operation has been accorded me for which I express my thanks.
The statistics of the physical examinations will be found in the School Nurse's report.
Respectfully submitted,
T. B. ALEXANDER, M. D., School Physician.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN FOR 1939
As we look over the record of the past years, which has now become a part of the History of Scituate, we may well have a feeling of satisfaction in the thought that we as a Town have been blessed with a measure of prosperity. Our financial condition is sound, and the departments rendering efficient serv- ices for the protection of life and property and the general happiness of the community. The interest for the public good taken by the citizens and local groups of our several villages is especially pleasing to the Selectmen. The civic pride of these groups has promoted the beautification of several spots and it is hoped that they may continue to make Scituate a more beautiful place in which to live.
