Guidance should therefore be viewed as services de- signed to help pupils to choose wisely between alternatives, to help pupils to understand their abilities and limitation, and to help them effect adjustments to the society in which they live.
Trends in reading programs usually bear a close rela- tionship to the accepted aims of instruction. The main aim of reading instruction is not to have pupils acquire some mechanical facility in recognizing words or understanding sentences so much as it is to contribute to the wholesome growth of the child. In addition to personal values the modern teacher sees reading as a means of developing social habits and attitudes which contribute to good citizenship in a democracy.
The specific aims in reading are as follows:
1. To make provisions for determining and develop- ing reading readiness at all levels.
2. To encourage strong motives for and permanent interests in reading as an activity of value in both work and recreational situations.
3. To acquaint children with ideas that will extend and enrich their experiences of life in our democracy and an interdependent world.
4. To present ideas and develop attitudes associated with good citizenship and worthy character.
5. To cultivate tastes and interests in a wide variety of good literature in books, other current publications, songs, recordings, and radio programs.
6. To provide for the gradual increase in skills and acquisition of valuable habits in silent and oral reading.
126
ANNUAL REPORT
7. To develop abilities associated with the use of books and other study activities.
8. To provide a basis for successful reading of printed materials in the various subject-matter areas of the curricu- lum, with especial emphasis upon the contribution of read- ing to other language-arts activities.
These aims imply that the teacher helps the child to learn to read and to read to learn. They suggest that the child grows in and through reading. They underline the fact that he develops not only reading skills but, rather, permanent habits and attitudes.
The aims set forth above suggest that reading can do much for the child, but it can do so only if instruction is planned and executed not in the light of adult ambitions but in terms of the child himself.
So much, then, for an overall picture of our reading program at Dighton Elementary School. It remains for me only, to add that there is no such thing as a constant level of competency. A person or an organization or a program of study either becomes better or worse. One of the most important responsibilities of a school staff is to seek im- provement. There can be no one formula which is guaran- teed to give results. Constant analysis of needs, abilities, capacities must be made. Experimentation must be carried on. There must be courage to try new things. To improve oneself and to help others to improve are all essential to successful accomplishment.
In conclusion, on behalf of the Elementary School Per- sonnel and myself, I wish to express our appreciation to you and the School Committee for your cooperation and endeav- ors in making our school a cooperative enterprise.
Respectfully submitted, OLIVER J. COLLARD,
Principal, Dighton Elementary School.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Mr. Warren:
In making out this report, I would like to first of all give credit to my predecessors for the fine work they have done before me. Because of their fine efforts and hard work music has held high esteem in the schools of Dighton for quite some time and still continues to do so. It is the deep concern of each supervisor to want to continue to uphold and improve the high standards which music has enjoyed in a school system. That has been my aim, however difficult, to uphold this fine tradition that music holds in the public schools of Dighton and to continue the fine work which has been carried on in the past.
In accepting this position I took on this challenge and that of also improving the music program wherever pos- sible. The present system of music instruction in the Dighton School system is a fine one; however, no system is so perfect that some improvement can't be made along the way and that is what I have endeavored to do. In my teaching I have tried to make music as interesting an experience as possible, an experience which would stimulate even greater partici- pation in music by students.
That music holds a great deal of interest in the Dighton Schools is evidenced by the fact that practically all students participate in one group or another out of which some won- derful musical results are achieved. When interest in music is so great as it is here, then the work of the supervisor is more enjoyable and the work of each group a pleasure for all.
In the elementary school I continued the work of the past by visiting each classroom weekly and presenting a lesson in music. The same system of rote teaching in grades one and two was continued with note reading in grades
128
ANNUAL REPORT
three through eight. Later in the year note reading will be introduced to grade two; however, at present it is too soon to begin it. Throughout each grade all the problems and basic fundamentals of music instruction are being consid- ered for each level. The treatment of "uncertain" singers in the lower grades is given considerable attention through the use of monotone drills and exercises. At the present time we have but a few "uncertain" singers left and no monotones.
The vocal program at the elementary school has been a satisfying one in that I have been able to achieve some ex- cellent two and three part singing with classes five through eight. Of course we still have the problems of changing voices in grades seven and eight, but this is being alleviated by the use of the American Singer music books purchased last year. Many of the songs are arranged for changing voices so that those students with changing voices are able to sing without too much embarrassment to themselves.
A Christmas Operetta was presented at the elementary school for the first time in which the elementary school band and chorus participated, and which included many students from grades one through eight. The operetta proved highly successful and another is being planned for next year be- cause of the high interest by students and parents.
The elementary chorus of over seventy voices partici- pated in this program with the singing of many songs in parts. This chorus gives students wonderful experience, which will benefit them greatly and prepare them for the high school chorus or glee clubs. It helps create greater in- terest for them in music generally.
The instrumental program at the elementary school still continues to offer free class instruction each week to all stu- dents interested. Thirty new students started instrumental instruction on various instruments this year. These students, when ready, will eventually feed into the band and orches- tra. The elementary school band at present numbers thirty
129
ANNUAL REPORT
players. The orchestra numbers thirty-five. Many new vio- lin students have been started and taken into the orchestra already ; however, many more students will have to be inter- ested in the violin if we are to build up our elementary and high school orchestras.
The instrumental groups in the high school have done fine work although some of our valuable members left through graduation, weakening the groups somewhat. The band has performed at assemblies and at all football games, putting on half-time shows, performing letters and going through other routines on the field. The high school band deserves much credit for the splendid job performed at each game. The band at present numbers thirty-five.
The high school put on a Christmas Concert for the first time, which was presented on the last day of school for the student Christmas Assembly and again at night for the pub- lic.
The groups participating were the orchestra, mixed choir, girls' glee club and the boys' glee club. Each group did outstandingly well. A great deal of work and time went into the preparation of this program. The high school can be very proud of the excellent results attained by these groups. The choir numbers thirty select voices, the girls' glee club numbers about ninety and the boys' glee club con- sists of forty voices. These groups are at present working on music for our spring concerts and state festival and will also perform at school concerts and assemblies.
In addition to the aforementioned groups I have con- tinued to work with the Woodwind Quartet, the Barbershop Quartet, and started a Girls' Trio and Quartet. Each of these groups meet weekly and are preparing works for perform- ance at school and community functions.
The above is a summary report of the music program in the Dighton Public Schools. In the execution of my duties I have conscientiously tried to fulfill the aim and purpose of music education, to give to each student his or her rightful
130
ANNUAL REPORT
place in music and in gaining the maximum pleasure and en- joyment to be derived. I sincerely hope I have succeeded in doing this.
In conclusion I wish to thank all who have contributed toward the success of the music program. An ardent sup- porter of the music program at the elementary school has been Mr. Oliver Collard and at the high school, Mr. Edward Gillespie. With their continued interest and cooperation the music program can make even greater strides toward greater improvement of our musical organizations.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM HENRY KAHN, Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE DIGHTON VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
To the Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my second annual report as Director of the Dighton Vocational School.
Since our school receives both Federal and State Aid, I feel it necessary to discuss all levels in this important phase of education.
On the Federal level, Congress approved a five million dollar increase to the George-Barden Fund for Vocational Education, bringing this grant to a total of $23,672.261. It is the largest increase ever voted by Congress for this pro- gram in any one year. The reason for it is best expressed in an editorial in the American Vocational Journal.
"There are two principal reasons why Congress, in a year when economy is the watchword, voted a 26.8 per cent increase in the George-Barden fund. First, vocational edu-
131
ANNUAL REPORT
cators have done a good job. The program is popular with the people and they are willing to fight for it. Second, mem- bers of Congress-at least, enough of them-had been made thoroughly acquainted with the program and its value to individuals and the nation. Congress will always support vocational education so long as these two factors are main- tained."
Mr. M. Norcross Stratton, retired in July as State Di- rector of Vocational Education. He was succeeded by Mr. Walter Markham, former Director of Lowell Vocational School. Mr. Markham's enthusiasm and his ability to recog- nize the needs of our young people will give this area of edu- cation an even greater impetus in our state.
The surplus material given to our school by the State is greatly appreciated, and also the comments of the Super- visors in evaluating the program in Dighton.
The building program for Vocational Education has been extremely active this year. In many communities there are new buildings, and in others, their quarters have been expanded.
The amount of productive work and the quality of it has been, I am sure, one of the factors that classifies our Vo- cational school as one of the best small schools in the State.
Pierce Hardware Company had on display in their win- dows some of the fine furniture made by our woodworking boys.
In addition to the many projects completed in our wood shop, the students completely painted and redecorated their quarters. They also painted and repaired the town-owned Girl Scout building at a great saving to the town.
For the past four years the Joseph R. Charves Voca- tional Achievement Award has been presented to our out- standing automobile boys.
It is a pleasure to include a new award made possible
132
ANNUAL REPORT
by the Grossman Company of Taunton. This award consists of a complete kit of carpenter tools presented to the out- standing woodworking senior boy each year.
The automobile senior boys were given the "Allen Tune Up" course, and each received a certificate and gold pin from the Allen Automotive Electric Company. Tune up work in the automotive field is very important, and our students are trained to also meet this requirement of industry.
Our present program, in which we have the freshmen students one half year in metal work and the other half year in wood work, makes for a very much improved phase of oc- cupational guidance. The students also have three years to complete the unit trade of their choice.
The publicity given our Vocational School this year by the local newspapers is most gratifying, and perhaps a good reason why the Open House Night was so well attended.
The many conferences with employers have been help- ful in including their suggestions in our program. These people have visited our school, and talked to our students about attitudes, willingness, and a desire on the part of the employee to give a day's work for a day's pay. This seg- ment of citizenship training we shall continue to explore.
The combined efforts and financial support of our Fed- eral and State Government have enabled us to train our vo- cational students at a very much lower per pupil cost than any other branch of education in our town. Over 40% of the boys in our High School are enrolled in the vocational program.
All people who are genuinely interested in the success of today's youth wholeheartedly support vocational schools.
Your enthusiasm towards our program is most gratify- ing, and will be reflected as our graduates take their places in industry as efficient workers, and in their communities as capable citizens.
133
ANNUAL REPORT
I express my sincere appreciation to you and your com- mittee for the support you have given, and will continue to give Vocational Education in the Town of Dighton.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES F. DAY, Director.
