in the communities in which they live. In return they should be accorded the most liberal treatment possible at the hands of the School Committee and taxpayers. A poor school is dear at any price and a good school is cheap at any price. Let us continue to have increased salaries and better schools.


TEACHERS' MEETINGS.


The usual number of teachers' meetings have been held. I wish that we could come together oftener for a discussion of our problems and a study of the best teaching methods, but hesitate to take the time from the regular school work that is necessary for the teachers to get to the meetings. A district meeting was held in Dighton during the winter at which there was a good attendance of teachers, members of the School Committee, and parents. A copy of the program will be found in this report. The plan for the present year is for a larger meeting to include some of the adjoining towns at the expense and under the direction of the state authorities who have an appropriation available for such purposes. Notices of the time and place will be sent out later.


CONCLUSION.


In conclusion, I wish to express my satisfaction at the atti- tude of the people towards the schools and the continued kind- ness and courtesy of your committee.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN C. DAVIS, Superintendent.

ANNUAL REPORT.


Report of the Supervisor of Drawing.


Mr. John C. Davis, Superintendent of Schools :


DEAR SIR :- It gives me pleasure to submit my annual re- port of the work in drawing in the Dighton schools.


A new course of study has been made out this year, although there is little change in the general plan of work. More time has been given to the study of color and training of the color sense ; also greater emphasis is placed upon the importance of memory drawing, and the use of drawing to express ideas, and illustrate other school subjects.


Since the demand for industrial education is becoming so much stronger each year, it must influence the work in draw- ing, and make that work more practical. The aim is to make every problem of some real use, and, as far as possible, to use drawing in making objects for which a need is felt, and in rep- resenting ideas, or things of special interest to the children. When the subject of structural design was studied, desk pads with pierced brass corners were made, also calendar stands, picture frames and match strikers in pierced brass. Handkerchief and collar cases, spelling blank covers, writing folios, and other useful objects, were made of cardboard and paper. In one outside school where there are only lower grades, a doll's house was provided, and the children are mak- ing furniture of stiff paper and planning the color schemes, wall paper and carpet designs for each room. Later the car- pets will be woven, and in other schools, holders, rugs, etc., on cardboard looms, from the original designs made by the children.


Never have the children done such exact measuring and careful mechanical drawing as they are doing now in the


16


ANNUAL REPORT.


schools where the work involves. as far as possible. these prac- tical problems.


So far most of the manual part of the work has been done outside of school hours as no time is allowed for manual work in the regular school program; but many of the chil- dren are willing and eager to do it, even under these condi- tions.


The lower grades are doing more in paper cutting and the construction of simple articles, and exercises in weaving. cut- ting and other manual occupations are suggested for the seat work periods. It is hoped that this training will show good results in other lines of school work, making the children more observing. able to give better attention to directions given. and more fully concentrate their minds on what they are doing. with the result of greater accuracy, neatness and skill in all forms of work.


An exhibition was held in February, as usual. in connection with the Teachers' Institute.


I wish to express my appreciation of the interest, enthusi- asm. and earnest and faithful work of the teachers. I thank · the Superintendent and School Board for their generosity in providing materials, which makes it possible to give the children more interesting problems, and obtain more pleasing results.


Respectfully submitted.


MARY L. COOK.


Supervisor of Drawing.

ANNUAL REPORT.


Report of Supervisor of Music.


To the Superintendent of Schools :


· I herewith submit my third annual report on music in the public schools of Dighton.


A definite progress in all lines of the work is noticeable. Special attention, during the past year, has been given to in- dividual sight reading, voice quality, pronunciation and artic- ulation, and the musical interpretation of each song studied.


A new system of music readers is being introduced which are appreciated and enjoyed by teachers and pupils.


The aim of the course is: to inspire love of good music, to develop a musical voice, to teach sight singing, and to in- duce musical interpretation.


The books contain the best song material available, all forms of music being represented, from the simple folk song to the melodies of the greatest masters of all nationalities.


I wish to thank the Superintendent and the Committee for their interest, helpfulness and kindly appreciation shown in the work. My thanks and appreciation are also due to the teachers for their faithfulness and hearty co-operation in all details of the work.


Again I would urge the public, and especially the parents of pupils, to visit the schools and the work will be cheerfully demonstrated.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGIANA E. TAYLOR, Supervisor of Music.

Report of Truant Officer.


To the School Committee of Dighton:


Twenty-four cases have been reported to me during the year by the superintendent and teachers. All of these have been investigated and I have found the parents, with one exception, willing to comply with the law in regard to at- tendance.


In one case it was necessary to summon the parent into court, the result being that he was fined ten dollars and costs.


Respectfully submitted, JOSIAH S. PLACE.


Truant Officer.
