The Munsell crayons and paints are used in most of the schools, but not in every room, so that a mixed color system is taught this year. Free-hand paper cutting of ob- jects of interest has been done successfully in the three vil- lages. Throughout the year the work is of this nature. only the principles are applied to more difficult problems, such as
23
borders. rosettes, tiles, object drawing. lettering, measuring, memory work and nature study.
The intermediate and grammar grade work is similar, but the work becomes more difficult as the pupil advances in ability. Many principles of designs. color, representation, construction and methods of working out problems are in- volved. Nature work involving flowers. fruit and vegetables have been drawn and studied carefully in all grades. Object drawing has been tried in all the schools with very good results in the grammar grades. The intermediate schools do not have as good results as I should like, there being a lack of interest in the work. The paper construction in all grades has been done very well. Designing has been tried, working out wall paper patterns. tiles. borders and cover designs. Page designing, spacing and free-hand lettering will be done in the spring and a study of good advertising.
The perspective drawing in the grammar grades is a hard subject for it involves street scenes, still life, objects of every description, drawn at different levels to the eye. In this work the child learns to judge distances and pro- portions.
There has been a decided gain in the work at Acton. Center and South Acton, but in some subjects the West Acton sixth grade has pulled the work down to a low. standard because of lack of interest in drawing. I feel en- couraged this year, for all the teachers try to make the work successful and interesting, so that by the end of the vear I feel my aim in the work will be gained.
I wish to thank all who have helped in the advance- ment of the work.
Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
-
Mr. F. H. Hill, Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my fifth annual report on music in the schools of Acton, Mass.
There is little to report, at this time, concerning the work in music, as the outline of study is similar to the one of last year and there have been few changes in the schools.
The teachers and pupils join in an effort to carry out the work required by the outline and the interest, in the subject is always excellent.
I wish to encourage individual singing, beginning early in the lower grades, so the children may gain the confidence to sing alone and be able to express themselves through the medium of music as they would in other recitations.
This would be of great value after the study of two and three-part music is taken up, for, if a pupil is an independ- ent singer, he or she should be able to carry a part against the whole class.
A child who can read music rapidly, individually, has developed the power to stand before people and "think."
Smooth singing, beside making a pleasant, tuneful sound, puts the child into a calm, harmonious physical state that allows the mind to work in the same calm, unruffled manner.
Much credit is due the teachers and pupils of the Center and West Schools, who, through their perseverence have raised money for, and purchased two school victrolas.
The Center School gave a Hiawatha entertainment dur- ing the spring term, then repeated it at West Acton, divid-
25
ing the proceeds with the West School as a beginning of the victrola fund.
The children of the West School gave a Christmas oper- etta, Dec. 15, 1914, entitled "Santa in Southland," proceeds of which are to buy records.
The preparation and presentation of these little school entertainments, beside bringing pleasure to the children. gives them a practical application of music, of careful enun- ciation and expression in both singing and speaking parts and other things helpful in all lines of education though not always found in books.
· Should the South Acton School decide to purchase a victrola. I am sure the other two schools would be glad to help in any way possible.
I hardly need speak of the value of a victrola in school work.
For the children are not only enabled to hear their own songs from the educational books. sung correctly, this being of especial advantage in two and three part work, but all children now have the opportunity to become familiar with and appreciate the standard and classical selections which we cannot teach in the limited music period.
If a careful selection of records is made, a school will gain much of educational worth. by using the victrola for marching, calisthenics, folk-dancing, patriotic songs, stories. and readings, also from instrumental numbers will they learn to distinguish the tones of different instruments of an orchestra.
The grouping of the grades for music is the same, with the exception of grade six at West School, this year study- ing with grades seven and eight.
I thank all the teachers most heartily for their help and interest, also the superintendent and committee for their support.
Respectfully submitted,
ALICE M. GENTHINER.
