REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Oakham may be the smallest of the towns in Union 24 but it suffers from the same growing pains as the largest and the middle-sized towns. Oakham faces the same need to keep its educational program in step with other areas and the demands of modern life.
There appears to be two possible solutions to Oakham's school problem:
(1) Join with Rutland in the construction of school facilities which will make possible a better edu- cational program, especially in grades 7 and 8.
(2) If this possibility does not develop, build a new school in Oakham which will provide ample space for future growth.
A study committee has been working with other com- mittees to determine the best course of action for Oakham. The matter is of pressing concern, for, with the present fa- cilities, the 7 and 8 grades are much too large for one teacher, no matter how capable, to do an adequate job. Oakham's children deserve a better education than is now possible with- in the limitations of the present building. We hope that a
Susan Parsons
56
ANNUAL REPORTS
satisfactory solution can be discovered before another year has passed.
The present school staff is to be commended for its de- votion to education and for the results it achieves.
Sincerely,
CHARLES L. BOWLBY
OAKHAM SCHOOL
Our school has an enrollment of one hundred eight pupils with four teachers. This is a 14 per cent increase over last year and places 32 pupils in grades 7 and 8.
We feel that the science program will improve since we now have books for all the grades and also a science kit for experiments. In addition some additional science reference books were purchased. New spelling books will be of value in improving our spelling program.
It is a privilege to have the use of a projector for the fine films available through a school union rental-purchase plan which provides us with an opportunity to use 48 films on various subjects.
Programs have been given for the public on Memorial Day, Christmas and at graduation which seem to have been well received.
Fire prevention week was observed with a demonstra- tion by the Oakham Fire Department.
The pupils contributed to the Junior Red Cross, the March of Dimes, and Health Seals.
I wish to thank the School Committee for their support of our efforts to bring a better educational program to the pupils of Oakham.
Respectfully Submitted, ESTHER G. HAWKES
ART SUPERVISOR'S REPORT, SCHOOL UNION NO. 24, 1960
During this year the art department has expanded along with the scope of the schools themselves. One new super- visor, Miss Charlotte Crout, was added to teach art in the first six grades of most of the schools of the union. This is her first teaching assignment and has been a fairly difficult one to adjust to, considering the many personal contacts which are
57
SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION
part of the routine of supervision. However, Miss Crout is fitting into the system satisfactorily and is a credit to the art department and the schools.
The art work in the junior high grades of the other union towns is proceeding as satisfactorily as can be expected with- out adequate art equipment, materials, and space. As soon as sufficient shelving, cabinets, tables, and materials are avail- able, the scope of the work in art can be brought up to the level of the best in the state, but not until.
GEORGE N. MORRIS Art Supervisor
REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
The following is my annual report as the music super- visor of the Holden School Union No. 24.
The music is carried on by the teachers assisted by the weekly visit of the music consultant. Singing and listening are the two areas upon which most stress is laid.
Mr. Bowden, the instrumental instructor, meets the in- strumental classes weekly. The children perform in groups of from one to three years' experience. The tonette program introduced last year in all the fourth grades of the union has proven an aid to the music program and will be con- tinued.
The instrument classes performed at the graduation exer- cises as did the seventh and eighth grade glee club. The en- tire school participated in the Christmas program.
I should like to thank my assistant, Mr. Richard H. Bow- den for his cooperation during the year and compliment him on the high standard of his work.
RUTH S. INNES Music Supervisor
SCHOOL HEALTH REPORT
The following is 1960 Annual Report of School Health Services, provided in Oakham.
The routine physical examinations for children in grades one, four, and seven, were made by Dr. Channing H. Wash- burn, School Physician, assisted by the school nurses. Writ- ten notices were sent to all parents whose children were found to have any physical defects.
58
ANNUAL REPORTS
The vision, hearing, weighing, and measuring examina- tions were done simultaneously by the school nurses assisted by two technicians. Re-checks are being completed by the school nurses and notices will be sent home to parents whose children failed this test.
Three diphtheria immunization clinics were held and 36 children received immunizations.
One pre-school registration day was conducted.
The Dental Hygiene Program for the children in the first three grades was resumed through the cooperation of the State Department of Health. The purpose of this program is to (1) find dental caries, (2) promote the corrections of dental defects, and (3) educate children to practice correct dental hygiene procedures.
Throughout the year, other routine services were provid- ed, such as, home visits, personal interviews, inspections, first aid, exclusion of sick children, planning with and assisting the School Physician in clinics, conferences, ordering all health supplies, and notifying parents of physical defects.
Required reports to the Massachusetts Department of Health in the areas of vision, hearing, physical examinations, and physically handicapped children were compiled and sub- mitted to the Superintendent of Schools.

During the past year, weekly meetings of the Boys' 4-H Club have taken place in the basement. Preparations have been started to have the office of Civilian Defense occupy a room in the basement to conduct its services to the town. When their telephone is installed, an extension will be placed in the library. It will be an added service to the town and library.
Mrs. Mayo has resigned as librarian after five years of assistance and faithful service. Mrs. Widing was a temporary librarian for a few months prior to Mrs. Lupa's appointment as a librarian.
