"Tremulous, impressional Alive to gentle influence Of landscape and of sky." ----


that gives him a grateful heart


"For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, And for the deep that coucheth beneath,


And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,


And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,


And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,


And for the precious things of the everlasting hills."


During the fall term I visited each of the schools at the Centre for a short lesson every week and the outlying schools once in two weeks for a longer visit. In the high school short lessons were given to each class. This will probably remain my program throughout the year. - In the primary grades mass work in colored chalk has been empha- sized, beginning in the fall with the autumn leaves and con- tinuing later with fruit and vegetables. It is important that children work in a large, free way and learn to see things correctly as wholes before they try to represent unimportant detail. In the grammar grades the work began in the fall with nature work with the brush and continued later with the drawing of vegetables. In December both divisions made Christmas designs. The children took great interest and the work in all parts of the town was of a high order. In the grammar grades many of the pupils have bought wa- tercolors for themselves. Such is their interest that over a hundred children have supplied themselves with the colors in the last two terms ; and in two schools nearly every pu- pil from the fourth to the eighth grade is using them. I hope that in the spring, when nature work is again possible,


108


we shall be able to supply all the upper grades with water- color. There is much talent among the pupils and it should be in every way encouraged.


I wish in closing to express my appreciation of the co-op- eration of the Harwich teachers and the enthusiasm of the children. Such conditions make rapid improvement possi- ble.
