The other departments of the school are carrying on their usual good work.
Mr. Morris expressed his pleasure in having such a competent and cooperative staff of trained men and women assist him who are exerting every effort to be of greater service to the children of Harwich. He also expresses his thanks to Mr. Edwin M. Surprise for the many useful gifts which he has presented to the school.
Grateful appreciation is also expressed to Mrs. Edwin K. Bearse for the gift of a complete set of taps and dies and a set of carving tools in token of the interest of her late husband in the development of the shop work in the New High School.
-134 -
We value these gifts not only for their intrinsic worth but for the expression of interest and loyalty which they convey.
ART
Since September 19, the work in Art has been under the direction of Mrs. Beulah S. Bowers who is a teacher of wide experience and thoro education. Interest has develop -. ed strongly during her short term of service. She reports a good foundation of drawing as having been laid in the first six grades. There is need. however, for further a'd- vancement in work above the sixth grade. We find interest among the High School pupils but thus far time in the pro- gram and space for the work have not been worked out in sufficient detail to secure best results.
Craft work other than drawing such as painting. carving. moulding, design and lettering might well be added to the work of this department. As a source of future revenue, as guidance in choosing a field for further study of as a source of personal enjoyment, this work presents great possibilities.
VOCAL MUSIC
This department has also had a change in leadership. Miss Charlotte Patch carried the work for a period of seven years during which time marked improvement in interest and achievement was seen. Since the opening of school in September, the vocal music has been conducted under the direction of Miss Tris Kelman.
Miss Kelman divides her primary music into three activities ; singing, listening, and rhythms, such as walking, running, marching, etc. Note reading is introduced in sec- oud grade and continued through succeeding grades till during the fifth and sixth grades the pupil is expected to read the syllables of songs he sings. Two part songs are introduced in fourth grade and the three part songs in the
- 135 -
fifth and sixth grades. Tone, time and theory are also stressed.
Expression, tone, mood, appreciation and acquaint - ance with sounds of different instruments are taught by use of records.
Part singing is further taught in Junior High School. History of the development of American music is a part of the work of these grades.
In the Senior High School chorus the three and four' part music constitutes a major part of their work. Emphasis is placed in teaching love of music rather than music alone. Success depends upon individual response and cooperation.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
Mr. Nassi reports: The people of this district have been very generous in their financial support. Their moral support is even more needed in furthering the interest of music. There is a great danger in the fact that people come to take certain activities for granted. As a result, what- ever has been built up thru years of effort may be destroyed thru the indifference of the people.
During the past two years, I have been interested not only in promoting a group organization such as an orches- tra or band, but I have been influencing a more generous use of small ensembles such as instrumental and vocal trios, quartets, quintets, etc. It is advisable that such groups should be encouraged because of the small number of people involved. They can get together more easily. They can assemble at the homes of the various players. An examina- tion of the musical culture of other races reveals the vital place which this type of music had in the development of the people of those countries. The Musique de Chambre in France, the Haus Musick of Germany and the Chamber Music of England have done much towards the development of culture. The wealth of music of this period which exists
1
-136 -
proves the interest of the people as well as of the great masters in this field.
I have been trying to encourage this type of ensemble not only on Cape Cod but also in the New England States through the New England Supervisors' Conferences and my position as Chairman of the Solo and Ensemble Com- mittee of this organization has helped me very much in furthering this cause.
My aim is not only to help develop those who have unusual talent but also to help the average child as much as his talents will permit.
I am again expressing the wish that our principals would be able to arrange their school programmes in such a way that the schools would avail themselves of the op- portunity of listening to the Damrosch Concerts. There are many schools which have a great many more curricular activities than we have and find it worthwhile to give a half hour each week to listen to these concerts. Most of our schools have good assembly halls and radios. I hope that our principals will realize the tremendous vahie of these concerts and arrange for the pupils to listen to them.
The musical organizations of the schools are many. They not only serve their communities with such activities as their annual concerts and by joining together to form the Monomausett Orchestra and the Lower Cape School Sym- phony Orchestra, but they also participate in many state and New England Festivals.
The Cape Cod Junior Community Band also does a great deal towards giving the pupils and public a real service. The summer concerts are attended by thousands and are received most enthusiastically.
The Cape Cod Philharmonic Orchestra is having a more successful year now than it has ever had before. This organization gives the opportunity to graduates of our high
-137 -
schools to continue to enjoy music. The Chatham Band, the Provincetown Band and many other organizations also give this opportunity to the graduates.
The instrumental classes in Harwich are as follows :

ATTENDANCE AND CENSUS
Since September the work of this department has been in charge of Mr. Victor S. Ryder who succeeds Mr. John T. Wood as Supervisor of Attendance.
Mr. Wood rendered most excellent and faithful ser- vice and we were sorry indeed that he was unable to con- tinue. Mr. Ryder has taken up the work and is showing excellent results. He says :
In rendering my report as Supervisor of Attendance, I wish to say that during the month of October a Census was taken of all children in the town between the ages of five and twenty-one. I find in many of my investigations that poor attendance is caused thru lack of shoes and prop- er clothing. There have been some cases of truancy all of which have been apprehended and brought into school.
It is well to note that the functions of a Supervisor of Attendance are much different than those of the old time Truant Officer. The Supervisor of Attendance has charge of the School Census thus he has information as to what pupils are eligible for school. He is in close contact with the School Nurse, the School Physicians and the Welfare Department so as to be in possession of knowledge which enables him to judge whether health or privation are fac- tors which must be considered. He should issue work cer- tificates and thereby be informed concerning the people who are by nature of employment excused from school at- tendance. In fact his work is to supervise school attend-
-138 -
ance and to take such steps as are necessary in order that every child may have those school opportunities which the public requires and provides. It is an important work and it requires energy, tact and care.
HEALTH
Miss Adelyn J. Peabody, R. N., School Nurse reports :
For the first time the Harwich Visiting Nurse Asso- ciation has an office in the old High School Building which has proved invaluable-the School Secretary takes any mes- sage during school hours and her help has been greatly ap- preciated by the Association.
The dental clinic held by Dr. W. E. Turner of Marion has accomplished a great deal. special attention being given to first teeth. A permanent record has been kept of all work done.
In August. 30 children were given the Toxin Anti- toxin for Diphtheria by Dr. Goff. 20 children were vaccin- ated at the same time by Dr. Nickerson and Dr. Rowley. Vaccination is a State requirement for children entering school and parents should see that this is done. Immuniza- tion from Diphtheria is not compulsory but any child six months and over should have it.
One pre-school child was admitted to North Reading Sanatorium for Tuberculosis - one nineteen year old girl admitted to Pocasset for treatment - two other children were examined at the Wrentham School. another child is taken to the doctor's office weekly for treatment.
Five pairs of glasses have been supplied to children - several pairs of shoes also, so the pupil may stay in school.
Many home visits have been made on children who are absent from school the beginning of the third day if reason is not known.
-139 -
This year the Chadwick Clinic was held in Grades 9. 10, 11, 12. 80 children taking the Mantoux Test and all positive were X-rayed later. 95% of the teachers had chest plates taken at the same time. This Clinic will not be held again for three years.
Dr. Nickerson and Dr. Rowley completed the physi- cal examinations in the schools and they felt the children were in very good condition. Pupils who have had com- mon colds and impetigo have been excluded from school.
Free milk has been distributed again this year by the Harwich Visiting Nurse Association.
The School Physicians, Dr. John P. Nickerson and Dr. H. F. Rowley report : As School Physicians we are pleased to submit a favorable report on the general health of the school children. The incidence of epidemic illness has been very low. The total number of school days lost from contagious disease during the past year has been al- most negligible.
We have noted with satisfaction that the parents are obviously trying to correct the physical defects noted in the physical examination. For example, the condition of the children's teeth is much better than the condition found a few years ago.
A serious attempt is being made to improve cases of malnutrition. The lunches which are provided so inexpen- sively at the school are of considerable help with this prob- lem. Thanks is also due to various charitable organizations who have made it possible for under privileged cases to re- ceive milk at the school.
We feel that our one greatest problemi so far as the children's health is concerned is the problem of the com- mon cold. This malady, considered so lightly by many par- ents, causes children to lose more school days than any other cause. Also, children who attend school while suffering
- 140 -
from colds do a poor grade of work and their school at- tendance is more of a detriment than help. We, therefore, as school physicians think that all parents of children suf- fering from colds should have them remain at home. We take this attitude knowing full well that it may spoil some perfect attendance records. However, we feel that the good results for the child himself and his fellow pupils will justify this procedure. In cases of acute colds where the parents have not voluntarily kept the child from school, we plan to have the nurse take such a child home, on the grounds that he is a contagious hazard to the other pupils.
In the above report we have attempted to outline some of the activities of the year 1938.
The school organization is composed of some four hundred ninety-five pupils, twenty-four supervisors and teachers, a school nurse, two school physicians, a supervisor of attendance, four janitors, two bus drivers, a secretary and a superintendent under the direction of a school com- mittee of three. Most of us devote our entire time to Har- wich Schools tho a few are employed part-time, and some have work in other towns.
I have not attempted to enumerate the number of parents and other citizens whose interest and efforts con- tribute so vitally to the work of the schools.
The record of a year is dependent upon the coopera- tion, understanding and confidence of all the above. It is a very human organization engaged in an effort to promote Imman interests and human value. Let me recognize my own debt to all the above and express my appreciation of the cooperation of those concerned.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES HI. PRATT.
Superintendent of Schools.
