Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee and Citizens of Leyden:
I am pleased to present herewith my third annual report as your Superintendent of Schools. This record covers the 179th year of public education in the Town of Leyden.
TEACHERS
For the fourth year the schools of Leyden have retained the same corps of teachers. The finding of suitable elementary teach- ers is almost an impossible task. With the demand far exceeding the supply the candidates desire, and they are in a position to do so, the maximum for salary and the optimum of working condi- tions. Thus, to retain our present staff is a most vital objective.
TEXTBOOKS
During the year new series of textbooks have been added in History, Geography and English. This means that every child now has an up-to-date textbook in every subject. It, also, means
30
that we are following the same text in every building and that our courses are continuous and uniform.
SCHOOL BUILDING
On June 1, 1950 the Town voted $35,000.00 to build a con- solidated school. After many meetings and study, plans were put out to bids. With the opening of the bids it was found that an additional $13,500.00 was needed to build such a building. This additional amount was voted January 18, 1951.
This building will contain two class rooms, lunch room, kitchen, teachers' room, toilet rooms and supply closets. It will not be elaborate, but will contain all the essential features of a good school house. It is to be placed on the Avery lot, purchased earlier in the year. It is expected to be ready for use in Septem- ber 1951.
It is true that a good building, alone, will not guarantee a good educational program. However, a good building will in- crease tremendously the chance that a good program can be carried out in that building. Your Superintendent of Schools and School personnel are pleased to recognize this opportunity to greatly improve the educational program afforded the boys and girls of Leyden and will exert every effort to attain that goal. Among other things, this new building will avoid the duplication of materials, the loss of time due to faulty heating, the inade- quacy of the water supply, the insufficient lighting and obsolete toilet facilities. This building will afford pupils a maximum of competition in their grade, fewer classes in a room, all modern conveniences for comfort, a hot lunch program and a direct stim- ulus for more and better school work. The Town of Leyden is to be complimented for the fine step forward.
FINANCES
In these days of rising costs the financial aspects of the schools require a great deal of thought and time. At no time is any expenditure made without study and proof of necessity. This year the School Committee returned to the town $1064.19.
31
This year the state reimbursement amounted to $10,528.76, a gain of $1893.66 over 1949. This gain more than offsets the addi- tional costs during the year. The cost of education borne by the local taxpayer was $7543.05. This was $225.76 less than a year ago. The net cost per pupil from local taxation in 1950 amount- ed to $99.26, in comparison with $100.89 a year ago.
This coming year under the present laws concerning state reimbursement the Town of Leyden should receive approximate- ly $10,853.04. This is divided as follows: Chapter 70, $5139.70; Transportation, approximately $4750.00; Superintendent's Sal- ary and travel $433.34 and Vocational, $530.00.
This year the School Committee again found an increase necessary in the annual budget. Economies have been exercised and many items have been lowered. However, costs of tuition, an item beyond local control, more than offsets those reductions. It is estimated that tuition charges will amount to $5888.00 or $1692.48 more than was expended last year. The major part of this increase is occasioned by the fact that there will be twelve new pupils attending Greenfield High during the year.
As we approach the troubled times ahead, it becomes very evident that if democracy is to sur ive it must be strong within and without. All our leaders down through the ages have point- ed to education as the bulwark of Democracy. Education is found not in the schools alone but in the home, the church, the community or wherever the individual finds himself. Let us then strengthen the forces of education in every environment. Let us spare no efforts in fostering better homes, better schools, better churches, better communities, and thus, a better world.
My sincere thanks are extended to the School Committee, school personnel, and the people of Leyden for their cooperation and help in my school duties.

Report of the Art Supervisor
To the Superintendent of Schools:
From January-June, 1950, we carried out our original plan of laying the groundwork for a course of art study by broadening the students' experience in the subject. We did various types of art projects such as finger painting, lettering, safety posters, por- traits, still life, landscapes, designs, and holiday pictures. Some of the materials we used were pencil, crayon, brush and ink, col- ored chalk, poster paint and paper cut-out.
As the students worked in these mediums, they learned about composition, design, texture, shapes, color, action and use of the materials at hand. We tried, too, to keep the art program flexible enough to meet the needs of various schools, and examples of this were an American Legion poster contest, designing a plaque for the school motto, and designs used for the backdrop in a school play.
The big reward of last year's activities-to the art super- visor, at least-has been the retention of things learned last year, and their use by the students this year in their work.
Beginning with the fall 1950 year, we attempted a larger pro- ject. Each student made his own folder in which to keep a record of his improvement and growth in art. The purpose of this fold- er was to encourage respect of the students for their own work, since we always think more of things we keep than of those we throw away. Also, at the end of the year, the folder will enable parents to see all their children's work. Lastly, by having stu- dents get materials at hand to make the folders, we hoped to make them realize that a person can use ordinary things in creat- ing a worthwhile product.
Because the study of art is one with which most people are not too familiar, I would like to state again our purposes and aims. First, we are studying creative art, in which the individ-
37
ual expresses the way things look to him based on what he feels, thinks and knows. This should be distinguished from copying pictures or trying to reproduce what the teacher draws on the board. To have the child maintain this attitude toward art encourage him by praising his drawings. Try to look at his drawings through a child's eyes. When he is encouraged, he is receptive to learning.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Music Supervisor
Mr. F. Sumner Turner Superintendent of Schools
Dear Mr. Turner:
It gives me great pleasure to present herewith my annual re- port as music supervisor in the Leyden Public Schools.
I am glad to report progress in all branches of my work and it is very gratifying to me to have had a chance to demonstrate in public at P. T. A. United Nations Program, Graduation, and P. T. A. Christmas Program some of the results obtained. At the United Nations program a flag drill with the different United Nations flags was given by the older children, also tonette play- ing by grades two and three and United Nations songs by all schools. Graduation, tonette and recorder playing in parts, sa- cred songs in three parts, rhythm band directed by Priscilla Avery and Raymond Glabach and recorders playing "Beyond the Sunset" in two parts by the graduates. The Christmas pro- gram consisted of carol singing, rhythm band directed by Judy
38
Howes, grade one, tonettes and recorders playing "Christmas Day", tap dance number to "Marshmallow World", a drill, "If it doesn't snow on Christmas" and three boys singing "We Three Kings." It should be borne in mind that these songs are not merely "learned" by the pupils but that the technical mat- ters of both tune and pitch are understood by every pupil.
Individual attention is given to each non-singer every week. Nearly all are able to sing with the right tone in a few months.
Many rote songs are taught in the first three grades, also note reading starts in these lower grades, learning the kinds of notes and rests, their value and expression marks.
In order to make music reading a definite and lasting capa- city, the same program of problem study and application as fol- lowed in the lower grades must be repeated in the upper grades, the work being readjusted to the greater mental maturity of old- er pupils. This readjustment is brought about through the greater technical difficulty of the songs and their broader musical content.
In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the School Committee, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Bolton, my pianist, and to each individual teacher, parents and pupils for the loyal support and hearty co-operation which has ever been extended to me in the years I have been connected with the Ley- den School Department.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARA P. COOK,
Supervisor of Music

Report of the School Physician
I am very happy to report the physical condition of the school children in Leyden as being very good as found at the an- nval physical examinations held in each of the schools in October. Nine cases of bad teeth were found and three cases of flat feet. Much evidence of recent dental work was found, and in general the children's health is much better now than a few years back.
I am also happy to report that the problem of contagious diseases is no longer troublesome.
I wish to thank Mrs. Berry who assisted me in my examina- tions, and the teachers for their help and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, F. WILTON DEAN, M. D.,
School Physician
Report of the School Nurse
To the School Committee of Leyden:
The routine work of assisting Dr. Dean with health examin- ations, audiometer hearing and Massachusetts vision test has been done. All defects were reported to parents. A Well-Child clinic was held in July with Dr. Wallace examining and giving advice to mothers. The State nutritionist and State dental hy- gienist gave advice to mothers. Regular visits to the schools have been made.
