Report of Agricultural Instructor
Mr. Edwin A. Cox, Superintendent of Schools, New Salem, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Cox:
In an unsettled and war atmosphere there are some very natural trends which may be of value to consider in our planning for post-war education. With all the emphasis being put on training in fields of trades, it seems that the school is taking the right attitude in considering the erection of and providing for adequate quarters to give this kind of training to boys either in or out of school. I hope that these plans may materialize.
During the past year the outstanding and noteworthy fact is the way in which almost all the boys carried on some food pro- duction projects and were taking the place of men in the field or factory where man shortage has been so acute. I feel we should be proud of their efforts in the war effort.
There seems to be a general attitude toward completing as much of their school program as possible on the part of those boys who know their entrance into the armed forces will come some time soon. This seems commendable.
With the assistance of Mr. Hawkes, whose work is an asset to the department, it looks like a good school year ahead.
I want to thank all the school authorities and those interest- ed in the school for their interest and cooperation during the past year.
Yours respectfully,
December 31, 1944
R. A. LUNDGREN

Report of Household Arts Department
Mr. Edwin A. Cox Superintendent of Schools New Salem, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Cox:
Again it is my privilege to report on the activities of the Household Arts Department.
It has been a very busy year with the addition of the lunch- room. I wish to express my appreciation to Mrs. Ruth Cogs- well and Mrs. Pearl Streeter who have worked all year to make the lunchroom a success. I believe the project is filling a real need by giving from 85-100 boys and girls a warm meal each day at the nominal cost of 15c for a complete meal and 13c for a meal without milk; this meal supplies from one-fourth to one-third of the daily food requirements of the body.
However, we could do a much more efficient job if we had more adequate equipment. We need at least one more stove, and preferably two, with ovens, and we need some large kettles.
It is impossible to keep the lunchroom entirely separate from classes, but interference is kept at a minimum.
There are no freshman girls taking Home Economics this year, so the sophomores are having foods, clothing, grooming and house care, the last two to be replaced by laundry and tex- tiles the second semester. The juniors and seniors are having foods, clothing, grooming and nutrition, the last two to be re- placed by the standard Red Cross Home Nursing Course. Both groups do at least seven hours of home project each week when
118
they put into practice what they learn at school and take over several household duties to help their parents. All courses are based on need and availability of materials.
I do wish the parents, trustees, advisory committee, and townspeople would visit our department and become better ac- quainted with our set-up-its problems and its achievements.
I wish to thank all those who have cooperated to make the department function smoothly.
Respectfully submitted,
ELEANOR R. EATON (Mrs. Chester L. Eaton)

Report of the Supervisor of Music
Mr. Edwin A. Cox Superintendent of Schools New Salem, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Cox:
A report on the musical program in the public schools from year to year becomes somewhat a matter of routine, in that the parents have the opportunity of hearing the direct results of our efforts at various times during the year. Reference is made here to the Operettas, Christmas programs and music presented at Commencement.
At present we are well supplied with material. The sched- ule of the supervisor calls for one visit every week to the Acad- emy, and one every two weeks to each of the grammar grades. This schedule has been somewhat disrupted however, during the preparatory period of the operetta. An apparent neglect of the grammar grades has crept in at this time due to the tremendous amount of time demanded of the supervisor by the Academy. To more than compensate for this apparent neglect, visits to each of the grammar rooms have been made every week instead of once in two weeks for more than two thirds of the school year.
However, war time difficulties make it seem advisable to omit this year's operetta production. This decision has been made only after much careful thought and consideration. Plans are now under way to present a festival of music in which the entire school system will participate. This will be given during National Music Week-the first week in May-and it is hoped that this substitution will merit the same support and enthus- iasm of the public as have the operettas of past-years.
120
"Yes, music is the prophet's art Among the gifts that God has sent One of the most magnificent."

Again my many thanks to all who have made this year both profitable and pleasant.

It is evident from the statistical report above that the regu- lar Health Program was carried on in New Salem during 1944.
122
The summary of the results of a program for dental correct- ion of school children in the towns served by this Nursing Ser- vice (Erving, Leverett, New Salem, Shutesbury, Warwick and Wendell) which compares the records for the school year of 1933- 34 with those of 1943-44 should be interesting to all citizens of New Salem.
This summary shows that about 10% more children are getting dental care as did 10 years ago. This means that about 62% of the children attending school have teeth in good condi- tion as against the 52% of 1933-34. The figures also show that about one third again as many fillings were put in, and less than cne half as many extractions needed. This proves that, al- though the number getting dental care has improved little, the general condition of the mouths is much better. Cavities are smaller and there are fewer operations needed per child found at the time of the dental examinations.
The Red Cross Home Nursing Course will be given at the Academy this year for the benefit of the Household Arts students and any others who wish to enroll.
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the cooperation and help extended by the town officials, Red Cross Activities Committee members, teachers and parents during the past year. Without this help very little could be accomplished.

Report of the School Physician
Edwin A. Cox, Supt. of Schools New Salem, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Cox:
Out of a total of 109 pupils examined this year, eleven showed poor nutrition; nineteen had faulty posture; seventeen needed tonsillectomy; fourteen had foot or spinal defects; two had skin disease, and there were sixteen nail biters, of whom eight were Academy pupils.
This is a fair showing, except of course for the nail biting, which is deplorable. On the other hand, New Salem is to be highly commended for practically 100% correction of dental defects.
Respectfully yours,
KIRKE L. ALEXANDER,
School Physician
