In the sixth and seventh grades it is comprised chiefly of woodworking, elementary wood finishing and mechanical drawing sufficient to plan and draw projects to be constructed. Classwork consists of learning safety, planning, tools, design, materials, basic skills and related work.
Grade eight is similar to six and seven with the addition of fundamental sheet and bench metal work with limited machine work. No boy is discouraged from pursuing his own interests provided that he learns the regular lessons and does not capitalize on the instructor's time.
The High School classes are in the areas of woodworking, sheet and bench metal work, lathe work and related machine shop work, mechanical drawing, basic electricity, automotives and household mechanics.
These courses include basic and advanced tool processes, machine operation, safety, care and maintenance, planning, design and other related material in the field of work being covered.
Of course it is impossible to assume that every boy will be exposed to all of the fields of work mentioned above due to scheduling difficulties in a small school system and limited time for elective students. It is my aim to give the greatest possible number of students the widest practical range of experiences.
The boys have made many valuable and worthwhile projects and repairs for themselves and have done a consider- able amount of construction and repair work for the school.

Director of Manual Training

DRIVER EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The Driver Education and Training course has an in- creased enrollment this year probably due to the new insur- ance rates which give parents of boys and girls with driver training program certificates reduced rates compared with other people under 25 years of age.
We have received a new dual control car this year which we share with Millis as in the past. Neither town requires the full time use of a car and sharing cuts the major cost which is insurance.
The students learn the laws and rules of the road very thoroughly and the physical forces that act upon an auto- mobile in motion. Maintenance and a limited understanding of the mechanics of the car are also necessary to be a good operator. Most important, however, we are interested in making every driver courteous and safe and to impress upon him the great privilege and responsibility that is his while operating a motor vehicle.
I wish to thank all the people who have been so courteous, pleasant and patient when encountering us in the school training car on the road.
Respectfully submitted, ALAN SHAW, Director of Driver Education
REPORT OF THE HELPING TEACHER
To the Superintendent of Schools:
I hereby submit my first annual report as helping teacher in the Medfield Schools. The principal objectives of the pro- gram for this year have been as follows:
1. Assistance to six repeaters in the seventh grade who had been promised assistance with the expectation that they might transfer into the eighth grade if the results of their efforts warranted it early enough in the school year.
2. A remedial reading program for pupils in the junior and senior high schools who have shown a need to improve their reading skills.
3. A testing program in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in an effort to find out the subject matter areas need-
105
ing the greatest concentration. Also, to find out how closely the educational achievement of pupils in the Medfield Elementary School checks against national norms.
4. Assistance to a limited number of pupils in the elemen- tary and primary grades who have been experiencing difficulty for one reason or another, some of these being long-term absences due to illness with a subsequent falling behind in their school work, emotional problems of adjustment, etc.
All help has been given on an individual basis in an effort to gain insight into the nature of the various problems which prevent pupils from doing their best work in school. It is hoped eventually to concentrate the program in the primary grades so that early difficulties can be detected and eliminated before they become definite problems. It is a well-known fact that it is very hard to resolve problems of deep-seated origin, particularly in a single year with the limited time available.
Since the program is a new one, it was felt that an effort should be made to offer maximum assistance to pupils who would be finishing school in a relatively short time. It is too early in the year to allow for any definite conclusions as to what the program has accomplished, but it does seem to be filling a need felt by students and teachers alike.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET BLUTE, Helping Teacher
