ARTS AND CRAFTS
Arts and crafts, stressed more and more each year ,were again emphasized with gratifying results in so far that a larger number of articles and a larger number of different articles made by a correspondingly larger number of pupils were noticed. Crafts are stressed for two important reasons: First, it gives the children a chance to learn to make all kinds of useful articles, and second, it gives them the assurance that they can do things. One can notice their pride when they come to show you what they have done with their own little hands. Craft activities were so planned and craft materials were so selected that each age group was kept busy with some little article to do.
It could also be noticed that many crafts made this year were much more elaborate than those made last year, for example, corde bags, leather belts, and embroidery pieces.
All the crafts made at the playgrounds were exhibited at a downtown store during the last week of playgrounds. In the past years many adults have been earnest in their efforts to buy some of the crafts exhibited, but of course these crafts are not sold, they are returned to each child on the last playground day.
The following tabulation will give an account of the work done by the playground pupils this summer.
There were 38 different craft projects for a total of 1929 articles made during the six weeks of the playground season. The articles made are divided in the following manner:

WATER DAY
More than 500 children attended the annual playground water day held at the municipal swimming pool on July 31. Swimming, swimming races and diving were enjoyed by every boy and girl present. Two of the regular lifeguards at the pool were on duty to insure the safety of the children so that no fatal accidents would occur to mar the success of the day.
The results of the meet were as follows:
West Street Playground
106 points
Charlton Street Playground
114 points
Eastford Road Playground River Street Playground
19 points
7 points
Following the water activities, each playground divided into its own group with its supervisor and assistants to enjoy a picnic. Inter-playground volley ball and other group games were enjoyed after lunch, before the children returned to the water.
TRACK MEET
The last main event of the Southbridge Playgrounds of 1946 took place on Wednesday, August 14, when the boys and girls from each of the four play- grounds vied for honors in a series of track events and feature contests at Dresser Street Field. The track meet started at 9 A.M. and ended at 3:30 P.M.
Th 1300 children who comprised this year's enrollment were eligible to compete in the track meet. Blue, red and yellow ribbons for first, second and third placers in each event respectively, were awarded to the winners.
The director, supervisors, and assistants at the playgrounds acted as judges, treasurers, and starters at each event.
The results of the meet were as follows:
West Street Playground
146 points
Charlton Street Playground
114 points
River Street Playground
99 points
Eastford Road Playground
10 points
MUSIC PROGRAM
A's an added feature to our 1946 summer playground program was the addi- tion of the music program with Mrs. Hedwiga Kochanowski as music supervisor.
The older girls and boys have been taught old fashioned country dances (American Folk Dances) and songs to go with dances. They have also learned cowboy songs and other outdoor and patriotic songs. The younger boys did an Indian dance and game.
These dances, songs, and games were in preparation for a big outdoor show which was to be put on later during the playground season. This was a typical western show with appropriate old-fashioned dances, cowboy songs, and other songs describing the West. Dances, songs, games and solo numbers with instru- mental accompaniment were also given.

SPECIAL DAYS
For each one ofthe six weeks the playgrounds were in operation, there was a special day named as follows :
First week: Sports Day
Fourth week: Water Day
Second week: Crafts Day Fifth week: Music Day Third week: Joseph Lee Day . Sixth week: Field Day
May I personally state my appreciation to everyone who has assisted me directly or indirectly in making the 1946 playground season a banner season from every angle. In playground work as well as in any other line, the head person gets the credit for the work done by the workers. I would like to say before I complete this report, that without the help of the supervisor and assisants at each playground, none of the plans formulated would ever be possible.
Respectfully submitted,
RAOUL O. LATAILLE
Director of Playgrounds
REPORT OF ADULT EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
To the Superintendent of Schools:
During the summer of 1946, it was my privilege to take courses in Super- vision of Adult Education classes as well as in Newer Trends in Adult Education under the sponsorship of the State Department of Education.
Upon my return, I made known to you the broad scope of Adult Education which means a continued progress program. Young people just out of High School wish to return for more experience or practice in certain subjects, of which they find themselves in great need, while on the job. Some, realizing the need of greater social, historical and economical background to understand that which is going on all about us, wish for more information. Still others, bearing in mind that Education is a worthy use of leisure time, as well as a means of earning a living, desire to learn certain hand skills or crafts which develop into interesting hobbies. All of these spell growth in every sense of the word and this is the greatest aim and foundation of any educational program.
These are the type of courses the State Department of Education wish to encourage as well as to have the communities of Massachusetts foster, for adults know their needs and have real interests which they wish to satisfy.
Along with this is the Community's obligation to all non-citizens. It must see to it that these people become assimilated into the nation as soon as possible, by helping them overcome the language difficulty so that they can feel secure in their new surroundings.
Later, with the language mastered, they are aided in becoming citizens so that they can share the responsibilities as well as the fruits of other men's labors in making this country what it is. Thus they are made ready to take their place in the community.
With these things in mind, the Massachusetts Department of Education wishes to have towns and cities of this state do what is being done in other states all about us, namely; appoint local Directors of Adult Education who can coordinate all adult education classes into a unified Adult Education program for the community. It is felt that the needs of the community will thus be better served, as it will tend to prevent overlapping of subject matter, avoid conflicting dates on the calendar and have one person who will be responsible for meeting the desires and wishes of any group in the field of further education.
Thus it was with this in mind that a course in Civil Service for men wishing to take local or federal examinations for government jobs was opened as soon as it was made known that a need existed at this time. An advanced English group
-114-
was also organized for some who wished to perfect themselves for future or immediate need .
Because of the lack of fund, the Adult Education Division of the School Department has been obliged to curtail activities somewhat. During the coming year, the Division hopes to broaden and extend its scope so that all adult activities of the Community will be taken care of by a central agency so that the best interests of Southbridge can thus be served.
Respectfully submitted, CONSTANCE M. L'ECUYER Director of Adult Education
