REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
We submit herewith our report of finances for the year 1922, and our estimate of requirements for 1923.
Following these figures will be found the report of Superin- tendent Herman C. Knight, which the committee has accepted and endorsed.
The committee regrets to report its inability to carry out the vote: at the last town meeting regarding the flush closets at the West and Center schools, owing to a lack of sufficient appropriation.
After the committee had secured plans and specifications, the parties making the first estimates declared the work could not be done for the sum appropriated. As both jobs must be done for the sum of $1800, we could not do one and leave the other; so the whole matter was dropped until next town meeting, when we hope to give definite figures for this work.
We are glad to show an unexpended balance this year, which is partly accounted for from the fact that we were unable to secure the usual supply of coal, and that fewer scholars entered Concord high school than was expected.
Our total disbursements for the year amounts to $38,353.57, but. the town has received reimbursement from the state and for dog tax the sum of $9,295.75, which brings the net cost down to $29,057.82 ..

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Committee of the Acton Schools :
Ladies and Gentlemen :- I submit my third annual report and the thirty-first report of superintendents reporting to Acton School Committee since the town has been a part of a Union district.
During the past year we have had few changes in our teaching force. Miss Florence Ladd of Dover, Maine, is teaching grades five and six in the South Acton school in place of Miss Lamkin. Miss Doris Look accepted a position in Braintree, and the position made vacant by her resignation is filled by Miss Julia Long of West Groton.
Since September the music has been under the supervision of Miss Pamelia Precious of Forge Village. This last change brings the subject of music throughout the entire district under the direc- tion of one person.
Last spring the Board of Health in accordance with the vote of the town at its annual town meeting, hired a nurse. Miss Breid- enback gives part of her time to the schools, and a great deal of work that in past years has seemed desirable is now being done by her. The schools are visited daily and through the auspices of the Red Cross milk is served to those who are under weight. Weigh- ing and measuring is done systematically, as well as a great deal of "follow up" work at the homes. In the opinion of your super- intendent Miss Breidenback is rendering a valuable service to the schools. In this connection mention should be made of the splendid effort made by the local Red Cross which financed the Middlesex County Travelling Dental Clinic. This Clinic came to Acton Center, making its headquarters at the Community house, and treated the children of the Center. The possibilities of work of this sort are hard to understand, but the significant thing is, that people are waking up to the importance of child welfare. We trust the Clinic will visit the other schools of the town.
It is only fair to commend the genuine interest shown by our school physician in his work. Dr. Mayell is regular in his visits, untiring in his work, and gives freely of his time.
We have spoken in other reports of the part taken by Acton boys and girls in club work. This year the interest in this phase of work has been keener than ever before. The exhibits made by Acton boys and girls at the Acton fair bear ample testimony to the value of this new kind of educational outlet. The action of the Fair organization in appropriating $100 for special supervis- ion of the summer projects of the boys and girls showed its vision and its belief in the work of the youngsters. Much credit is due the teachers and the local leaders who have, under the direction of the County Club Agent, Mr. Trask, made the work a success. Special interest attaches itself to this work when we know that Charles Howe of South Acton was awarded the County Champion- ship in market gardening. Other individuals have done credit- able work.
September found Miss Long's room at the West Acton school
12
occupied by three grades, with a membership of forty-three pupils. Nineteen of these were in grade three, eleven in grade two and thirteen in grade one. A careful survey of the promotions in the first five grades showed that in four years many pupils had lost one year on account of non promotion, and several had failed of promotion for two years, so that it seemed wise to provide for an extra teacher. The recommendation of your superintendent was supported and Miss Maud Priest began work on the Monday fol- lowing Thanksgiving in a room made by partitioning off a part of the large room formerly used for the high school. Here she has twenty four pupils in grades five and six. The improvement of interest in scholarship throughout the whole school is very marked, as each teacher now has two grades and more time is possible for all. The results show the wisdom of the committee in providing for this change.
With the large amount of money that education costs, con- stantly in our minds, it is almost incomprehensible that there should be any such problem for any one to solve as how to obtain better attendance in school. This is more especially true in the elementary schools with those pupils coming from homes of people of foreign birth and is more easily understood. The great problem is: How can we impress upon the parents of high school pupils the in- justice that is being worked out against those children who are allowed to stay at home for all sorts of trivial reasons ? More seriously still is the problem of driving home to a number of the pupils, themselves, that they are squandering the town's money when they play truant, or miss trains, or fail to get up in time to take them. Examples of each of these instances have come to my attention within the past year.
The previous paragraph is fraught with special significance when we know that during the past year the school authorities at Concord raised the high school tuition rate to $125. until the valuation is raised to two and one-half millions the state will re- fund about one-half of this tuition to the town. The change in the law became operative last year, for the first time, and Acton's share of the general school fund, Part II., increased from $33.87 in 1921, to over $6,000 in 1922. Because the state refunds liberally does not lessen the obligation of parents and pupils to obtain for the pupils all that is possible, but rather increases it.
A word should be said about the work of the superintendent's office. At the West Acton school building the superintendent has tried to organize some means of keeping records, letters and other material on file, so that less time should be consumed in making reports to the towns, state and U. S. Department of Education. In eleven months, 1651 pieces of mail were sent from this office alone. This included reports, bulletins, outlines, letters written in the ordering of supplies and books, and also answers to letters sent to inquire about any phase of the work.
A full time clerk should be hired by the district so that more time could be given by some one person, to details that could
13
easily become matters of routine, and the time of the Superintendent would be saved for supervision.
I wish to acknowledge the helpful service rendered by Miss Scanlon who has acted as part time clerk, and to whose intelligent effort the credit for much help is due during these weeks when illness has made it impossible for me to be at the office.
I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the earnest effort of the teachers. They are the soldiers on the firing line, and to them is due credit for whatever of success our boys and girls achieve.
The counsel of the committee, and the tireless interest of the chairman is gladly acknowledged.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN C. KNIGHT, Superintendent.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. Herman C. Knight, Superintendent of Schools,
West Acton, Mass.
Dear Sir-Following is my report as Music Supervisor in the Town of Acton.
Each room is visited every other week. One week the day is divided between Acton Centre and South Acton; the next week between West Acton and the remainder of South Acton.
Throughout the schools the Hollis Dann system is used, and while containing excellent rote song material, still I do not think there is sufficient sight reading material to enable the pupil to gain ability in reading either by syllables or words. Indeed, I have found places where the reading of syllables, prior to that of reading words, was unknown. So in places where it seemed ad- visible, we have substituted the New Educational Reader, and I am glad to say much improvement has been shown.
In some of the fourth and fifth grades, two part music has been started, which is most enjoyable. At Acton Centre the seventh and eighth grades are doing some fine three part work.
In closing let me thank both superintendent and teachers for their cooperation.
Very respectfully, A. PAMELIA PRECIOUS, Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR
Mr. Herman C. Knight,
Superintendent of Schools of Acton.
It is my aim to give my pupils a genuine joy in beauty and to make them walk through life with open eyes. I do not attempt to make them artists; I attempt to add to their educational ad- vantages by strengthening, and at times even awakening their perception of the fudamental values of beauty.
14
The little people have studied shape and color. I have had them trace round my models-only rarely have I had them attempt to draw, and this was, of course, copying from the board. In case of the Christmas stocking, for instance, I drew the toys on the board. and bit by bit they drew with me. I have tried in all classes, and most especially with the tiny people to have special holiday work, and to keep all the work in harmony with the season-as now for instance, we are cutting out snow flakes in grades 1 and 2. Of grades 3 and 4, I expect a somewhat maturer handling of the crayons. I have tried to show them rainbow colors and blending- blending we used in autumn foliage. For example, at Thanksgiving I put a turkey on the board. I colored it with colored crayons, using, on a large scale, the strokes which they imitated on paper. We are now working on simple design.
The fifth and sixth grades have tried landscape in pencil, in shading, in silhouette; they have started water color painting, growing acquainted with the technique by painting scales of the primary colors. At Thanksgiving they constructed little tables with opulent feasts upon them. They are now learning the fun- damental divisions of design; and towards spring they are to do much work from nature.
Of the seventh and eighth grades I expect an almost mature attitude towards the visual world. I started them on perspective and tried to reduce it to the simplest and most direct forms. I was glad that we had an abundance of variously shaped wooden blocks, so that after my explanations and demonstrations, each pupil could have his or her own still life to work from. I have tried to have them paint from nature, leaves and the like, without drawing in pencil first; in this way the young painter gains greater freedom and rhythm. The pupils have drawn and painted a long book on Thanksgiving in which there was difficult figure work. At present they are learning the elements of anatomy. I think that both anat- omy and perspective are needed by the maturer pupil for a general understanding of drawing. Last spring the older pupils designed book covers and wall papers and we shall do that again this spring; we shall also make posters pertaining to school life.
The fields of art are vast. It is my aim to arouse in the pupils only a certain understanding of the various fields. I try always to bring them a finished model of what they are to do. This model I myself have made. I do this because, in the first place, I know thereby just what the difficulty is-if there is any-and in the second place-because it gives the child a visual aim to work for; he knows, to speak from the child's viewpoint, "what he is driving at." If I have helped the children to a keener understand- ing of beauty and thereby to a greater fundamental happiness, I have then approached my aim in teaching.
I want to express my appreciation of the cooperation of the administration and teachers.
Respectfully submitted, ELLA MUNSTERBURG.
