I believe that no superintendent, and no teacher, has a right to consider these new, the industrial studies, until such time as the essentials are well done. But when these im- portant bock subjects are well taught, as is true in your schools, I believe that we are not doing our full duty to the child if we do not open to him these subjects which the entire United States is to-day declaring important.
If this to us new phase of education is so important for Paxton that it has already received words of commendation from teachers employed by the state, is there any known rea- son why it should not be advantageous to Oakham ? Your superintendent will be pleased to discuss this matter privately or publicly with any parents of the schools or citizens of the town interested.

I call your attention to the report of the Music Supervisor, the School Physician, the Table of Statistics and the Roll of Honor.
Respectfully submitted, CHAS. L. RANDALL, Superintendent.
School Physician's Report.
Mr. Charles L. Randall, Superintendent of Schools, Holden :
DEAR SIR :- In the performance of my duties as School Physician of the Town of Oakham, I visited the schools of that town on June 4, 1912, and again on September 12, 1912. The summary of the September report follows :
Number of pupils enrolled, 88
Number of pupils present, 84
Number of pupils absent, 4 Vaccinated, 74
Unvaccinated, 10
Enlarged tonsils, 9
The number of unvaccinated pupils, while less than last year, is still larger than it ought to be. It gives too favorable an opportunity for the spread of small-pox, if that disease .should appear. In other respects the favorable impression noted in last year's report has been confirmed by the observa- tions of the present year.
Yours very respectfully,
C. W. STICKNEY, School Physician.
Holden, Feb. 10. 1913.

Report of the Supervisor of Music.
Mr. C. L. Randall, Superintendent of Schools :
DEAR SIR :- Few changes have been made in the con- ditions under which music is taught since the work has been under my direction. The time devoted to the work remains unchanged.
In all the grades I find an eager interest in music, mani- fested by the children in enthusiastic singing and this spirit is largely inspired by the teachers, who realize that not only is the child developing mentally, but physically and spiritually as well.
All children love to sing and they sing naturally of love, happiness, joy, patriotism and good will; the evil impulses of the soul do not thrive in a musical atmosphere.
So we count music one of the many things in modern education which appeals to the child and serves to create higher ideals.
In all grades note songs are being taught continually and all the individual help posssible is given to the monotones. Aside from the important principles involved in time and tune, individual attention has been given to tone placing and tone production and a marked improvement in tone is noticed.
Children perceive rhythm before they do melody and in the song-plays, which are taught in the primary grades, make the rhythm of music fit the idea expressed in motions.
The upper grades are doing creditable work and the teachers are privileged at any time to introduce such work as will relate the music to the general subjects. The supervisor stands ready to assist in this work when asked.
The spirit of both teachers and pupils has been most sympathetic, and I wish again to express gratitude for the beautiful flowers which so sweetly expressed their sympathy.
Respectfully submitted,
RUTH B. DWELLEY. Supervisor of Music.
