Since my report of last year, good results have been ob- tained in the elementary grades, due in part to some of my ex- perimentation and research.
The use of the school-room blackboards is a great aid to me in Visual demonstrations of musical spacings, and I have found by experimentation that where the narrow spaces of the five-line staves fail to adequately convey values, the drawing of corres- pondingly deep steps of a staircase brings surprisingly quick perception and results.
[ 107 ]
The High School choral group since the change of policy from compulsory to option, is considerably improved. It is a good sized class.
Probably there should be two courses in music apprecia- tion at the high school level. One would be for those with special backgrounds in music and the other for those who have not supplemented their public school training in music. Under this plan, probably programs in keeping with the back- grounds of the students would prove much more valuable.

SAMUEL SEINIGER, Music Supervisor
REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The Art program in the Medfield Schools follows the latest modern trends in education, retaining many of the best feat- ures of the older methods of teaching. Thus, although Art is used to tie all subjects together, especially in the first six grades, it remains a subject in itself and is not a weak hand- maiden to all others. For instance, although the grade teacher may seek advice on a project or lesson, the Art Supervisor reserves the right to hold to her original lesson plans if she . sees fit.
The modern trend sees Art used in a sensible natural way as a visual expression flowing out of definite need. In the past, Art was often a frilly, pretty and useless thing. Today, if there is an open house, the Art teacher may give advice on decorating the room, besides going on with the more prosaic, unheralded everyday work that is necessary.
After many years of teaching in public and private schools, I feel that the Art teacher or supervisor should strive to give the child some technique or a continual process of putting in and taking out is seen. An improper balance of too much "put- ting in" sees the child afraid of expressing himself in any way. Too much "letting out" sees the child drawing houses with chimneys falling over, people whose arms come from their waists, trees looking- like stumps and all of the bad features of uncorrected expression.
Here in Medfield, one finds good materials and willing co- operation. One may surely look forward to a successful pro- gram for these reasons.
Respectfully submitted,
DOROTHY WALLACE, Art Supervisor

To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Frank G. Haley, Chairman,
Medfield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Medfield for the period from August 27, 1948 to October 4, 1949, made in accordance with the pro- visions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts.
Mr. Francis X. Lang, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxation,
State House, Boston.
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Medfield for the period from August 27, 1948, the date of the previous examina- tion, to October 4, 1949, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and re- conciled with the books and records in the town accountant's office and with the records of the town treasurer.
The town accountant's ledgers were analyzed, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriation ac- counts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings, and the recorded transfers from the re- serve fund were verified by comparison with the records of the finance committee.
The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on October 4, 1949.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were
[ 119 ]
analyzed and checked with the records of the several depart- ments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the pay- ments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authoriz- ing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled coupons and securities on file.
The securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in custody of the town treasurer and the selectmen were examined and listed. The income was proved and the transfers to the town were verified.
The tax titles taken by the town for unpaid taxes were listed, checked with the collector's records, and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes, excise, and assessments out- standing at the time of the previous examination and all sub- sequent commitment lists were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The re- ported payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records, the out- standing accounts were listed and reconciled with the account- ant's ledger accounts, and the cash on hand was verified by actual count.
It is recommended that the collector make weekly pay- ments to the treasurer of all collections, as required by Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws, and that prompt action be taken by the collector toward the settlement of all prior years' taxes which on the date of the audit were as far back as 1942.
Interest on overdue accounts should be collected as required by Section 57, Chapter 59, General Laws.
The records of departmental and water accounts were examined and checked. The receipts as recorded were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were compared with the records of the departments authorized to grant such credits, the outstanding accounts were listed and proved, and the cash on hand on October 4, 1949, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, departmental, and water accounts was obtained by mailing notices to a num- ber of persons whose names appear on the books as owing
[ 120 ]
money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The records of town licenses and permits and of dog and sporting licenses were checked, the payments to the State being verified with the receipts on file and the pay- ments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The selectmen's records of licenses and permits issued were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the several town officials were exam- ined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, of the school and library departments, as well as of all other depart- ments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
It is again recommended that the cemetery department receipts for interments and foundations be paid over to the treasurer, as required by Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, and that payment to employees for services rendered be made from an appropriation provided therefor by town meeting vote.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables show- ing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
For the cooperation extended by all town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
