The play given last June by the teachers and school com- mittee was such a popular success that a good amount was raised for school play ground equipment for the Center schools. A part of the grading and the installing of apparatus was done in the early summer. More is to be done later.


The opening of the town library one day more each week has been a favor to the schools which we hope has been used to best advantage. We are grateful to the librarian for her willing help at all times. Our schools should freely use the educational advantages of the library. Outside of school hours may well be used in general good reading as just as valuable a part of edu- cation as the daily text book study. Our high school assistant teacher does much to help and encourage that school to make use of the library.


All concerned are grateful to the towns people for their financial support and friendship extended the teachers and the schools. All teachers seem to enjoy life with the people of Mendon. In order that public schools shall be a success more than financial support is necessary. Moral support by the public is essential. Freedom in expression of adverse criticism which is


58


apt to be rampart in country towns is often very injurious, es- pecially if there happens to be a little weakness in the manage- ment of a school. The attitude of parents in encouraging the right spirit in children can do much toward the success of a school.


One of the pleasant events of the year was the reception given the school teachers and officials by the Grange. Every op- portunity for better acquaintance brings better understanding which tends toward mutual help and general success. Visits by parents at the schools is desired. When one visits a school with an unprejudiced attitude he is quite likely to have a much more sympathetic feeling toward the school and can be a help to it.


A very appropriate and inspiring pre-memorial exercise was given by the schools in the town hall. The G. A. R. Veterans, Sons of Veterans, and World War Veterans were present and timely remarks were given urging true patriotism for our country with an inspiration for loving and sacred memory of the heroic sacrifices of our loyal veterans.


The readers' attention is called to the school directory, school calendar, general regulations, tables of statistics and general re- ports.


This town is not so situated that it can provide all the op- portunities for the advantages of manual and special education in the various present day lines which can be obtained in many towns and cities ; but we should provide the best possible train- ing in the common branches. Music is the only subject in which we have a special supervisor. The right training in Drawing and Art is an essential part of a practical as well as a cultural education. Much more in these lines could be done in our schools if we had the help of a trained specialist to direct this work. This matter deserves consideration.


The voters must remember to provide for the possible con- siderable amount which will be necessary for trade school and continuation school tuition for the coming year. This tuition rate is, fixed by the state and payment is required by law.


It is and should be the duty of the school committee not to overrun their appropriation. This makes it all the more essen-


59


tial that a sufficient appropriation be made to cover all current school expenses.


The administration of the schools is harmonious, and the school committee is making every effort for economy in school expenses and to do the most possible for the schools with the funds given.


The superintendent of schools is grateful for the help given the schools and for the kindly attitude of the school children and the citizens of the town. Much credit is due our corps of ef- ficient and devoted teachers. Though there may be mistakes now and then (which look much larger than they really are), the Mendon schools are making progress, and if we but stop to think a little of what a wonderful benefit the free education of Amer- ica's public schools is, every one will surely feel most grateful for the opportunities and advantages our country gives our boys and girls,-the coming generation of citizens.


Respectfully submitted,


CARROLL H. DROWN,


Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


MR. CARROLL H. DROWN, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS,


I herewith submit my first annual report as Principal of Mendon High School.


The attendance during the fall term was good, but since the middle of December it has been very irregular. This has prob- ably been due largely to unusually severe winter weather and also to sickness. The attendance for the month of January was slightly over 80 per cent.


The school offers a General College Preparatory, and a General Course, in which the study of Latin is not required.


New books have been added in some of the Language, Mathematics and Science courses which were very much needed and greatly appreciated. The Science Department is handi- capped due to lack of laboratory apparatus, although a few chemical supplies have been added this year. I regret this fact especially since the interest shown by the present Chemistry class in the laboratory work warrants a more complete equipment.


The teachers feel that the attitude of the pupils toward the school work, and their co-operation in regard to the discipline was good at the opening of the school year, and that it has since improved.


Owing to the fact that our enrollment is not very large, the school has not been able to arrange many outside activities. We hope in the spring to complete the play ground equipment for school athletics on which a beginning was made last summer and to form athletic teams.


It seems to me advisable that the parents and teachers should


.


61


find a means of closer communication in regard to school matters, such as a Parent-Teachers' Association.


The Principal wishes hereby to thank the teachers, School Board, parents and pupils for their hearty support, and would be glad to receive as visitors those interested in school work.


Respectfully submitted,


OSCAR L. GARLAND,


Principal.

MUSIC SUPERVISOR'S REPORT.


MR. CARROLL H. DROWN, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :-


In reply to your request, I submit the following report as Supervisor of Music in the Mendon Public Schools.


The same plan of work has been followed this past year as in the previous year.


Rote singing forms the basis of the first and second grade work, with some study of staff notation in Grade II.


Beginning with the third grade much drill has been given in the technical study of music such as keys, time signatures, musical signs and terms, major and minor mode, etc. The spirit is excellent among the children even though the progress seems slow at times.


Last year the Committee placed two sets of the Progressive Music Books in the Primary and Intermediate rooms which I feel have been very valuable. They have stimulated new interest and furnished the right kind of material for the advancement of musical knowledge.


At present the books in the Intermediate are being used in the Grammar school. This means that they must be carried back and forth each day, which is not only a disadvantage but tends to wear the books out. I would like to have another set of books in the Grammar room which I trust the Committee will feel able to purchase in the near future.


The same spirit of goodwill is manifested in the High School this year. Such a small chorus makes suitable material limited, but some very good work can be done with unison and simple four-part choruses.


63


I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the splendid interest and co-operation which the teachers, Com- mittee and Superintendent have shown in my work.


Respectfully submitted,


BEULAH C. THOMPSON,


Supervisor of Music.
