In closing this report which is the thirtieth report of superin- tendent of schools, I am glad to note a fine spirit of co-operation on the part of all the teachers. With the superintendent living in another town, much work falls upon the local committee. This is appreciated. by him, and he acknowledges especially the helpfulness of the chair- man, Mr. Flagg, who has given of his time and the use of his car without stint.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The Music Supervisor was very pleased to find the Hollis Dann system introduced in the schools at the South and West and Acton Centre Schools. Since September each building has been supplied with a Hollis Dann teacher's manual.
Each grade is following the work as graded therein. Owing to the fact that the manuals had not been in the hands of the grade teacher before, some of the grades were not up to standard, so in many cases it has been necessary to assign the work of the preceding grade in order that each grade might come up to its requirements.
Special drill has been given in Sight Reading and Dictation, par- ticularly in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades, as it was discov- ered that in these two phases of the work the pupils were weakest.
The aim of the course is to develop the power of reading music at sight. This is done through the ear, therefore much stress is placed upon Dictation, both Oral and Written. The very first step in this work is the learning of many rote songs-(First Grade work) by which the pupil learns-
1. "The use of the singing voice, selecting from the unnum- bered varying tones used in speech a certain few definite and sustained tones, known as the scale.
2. The exclusive use of these sustained tones, combined with varying meters and rythms, forming melodies.
3. The application of words to the melodies.
4. The practical use of this New Material in songs, resulting in free oral expression of words and music."
Two part singing is being carried on very successfully in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. At South Acton we are making plans to organize a school orchestra from material which was found in the seventh and eighth grades.
It is the supervisor's desire now to arouse interest in the work, and to give the pupils a chance to display their talent by presenting either a simple operetta or cantata in the schools where this is pos- sible.
The kind co-operation and friendly spirit of the teachers, princi- pals and superintendent is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) ELEANOR L. CLARK.
Supervisor of Music. Jan. 29, 1922.
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Herman C. Knight,
Superintendent of Schools of Acton.
Herewith I have the honor to give my report for 1921 as School Physician for South Acton.
I have visited the schools in South Acton several times besides my regular examination, for the purpose of being sure that the pupils
17
were well, and the buildings were properly cared for, and in a sanitary condition.
I have found the teachers always on the watch for possible dis- ease, and having a personal interest in each pupil seems to increase each year. The janitor takes pride in keeping his building clean and in a sanitary condition.
We have had very little disease in our school of a serious nature. Of the 127 pupils in the South Acton school, I have found 84 whose teeth need attention, 55 who need to have their tonsils removed, and 13 who need the attention of an optician.
I am more than ever convinced that the town should appropriate money for a school dentist, as so many children will suffer all their lives for so much neglect in childhood. Our children can have no better heritage than a start in life with good teeth.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) S. B. ANNIS,
School Physician.
