MUSIC
In vocal music Miss Kelman has continued to build music appreciation in all grades. She reports : "Rhythm- walking, marching, swaying, conducting-is ever a part of the program. In the fourth grade two part music is intro- duced after the three part round has been mastered and the children learn to beat time. The new books, besides gradually teaching more advanced problems in technic, are beautifully illustrated in such a way as to further the child's experience in art, knowledge of instruments, and composers. Three part music has been sung successfully and with understanding in the sixth grade.
The Juniorand Senior High are also benefitting by a new set of song books, Hollis Dann, which includes uni- son and part singing. The seventh grade finds them valu- able in their study of music in America, and in other coun- tries. The introduction of the bass part is well presented for the eighth grade, and the three and four part songs are well adated to the voices of the High School Chorus.
Throughout the entire twelve grades the children are building up a repertoire of memory songs.
The children love to listen to the victrola. It might be well to build up a selected library of records for these boys and girls."
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
The work of Mr. Nassi often speaks for itself in public. His report gives us his point of view as well as a
-134-
summary of his work. He writes: " 'But with what ob- ject are our citizens to learn music? We reply, in order that they may be better fitted to live the life of peace. ' --- Plato.
Music is civilized man's safest emotional escape valve. It is the universal language that begins where words leave off.
Public School Music should be presented to the pu- pil with the view of enriching his life through giving him the finest music to play. True, his ability as a player is often limited, but that does not matter to any great extent. The most important thing is for the child to get an acquaint- ance with fine music, so that he can enjoy to the fullest ex- tent the performances of our great musical organizations.
To achieve this result, to make the school boy and girl realize the greatness of his musical heritage, the music su- pervisor must be able to think with the pupil, must be able to understand his point of view.
For instance, take the matter of popular music. The educator must realize that popular music is made by and for youth. The best of this music teems with life and en- ergy. Its idiom is one of immaturity making up in energy what it lacks in eloquence. Keeping these facts in mind, I have been very sympathetic to the students' natural de- sires. At the end of the rehearsal, with the serious work done, we sometimes play one of the popular tunes of the day. When the young people have a chance to compare the two types of music they go back to the works of great masters with a greater understanding and appreciation.
It is the happy combination of two superintenden- cies, each having two full time instrumental instructors that makes possible the excellent results that have been achieved. Under this system we are able to give every beginner private and also class instruction. This extra help soon advances the pupil to the point where he can play
-135-
in the elementary orchestral classes. After this, and ac- cording to his ability, he may play in the local senior or- chestra or band, the Lower Cape School Symphony, or the New England Festival Orchestra. If the pupil wishes to play in an out of school group there are several fine or- ganizations such as the Cape Cod Philharmonic and the .hmior Community Band.
This year I have been fortunate enough to bring the New England Festival Association to Provincetown. This group annually sponsors a concert of orchestral, band, and choral music that is famous for its high standards. The musicians, who come from all over New England, repre- sent the finest talent in School Music of their section of the country. They will be under the leadership of nation- ally known conductors. It will indeed be a pleasure for the people of the lower Cape to be able to hear this won- derful concert.
Principal Morris has been most helpful in arrang- ing the program so that music does not conflict with any of the other subjects. The faculty also is most cooperative. There are many parents with whom we come in contact that are very much interested in their children's progress. This is very important as the success or failure of School Music is based on the amount of practice done at home. In this, the cooperation of the parent is indispensable. The follow- ing groups make up the classes:"

HEALTH
The school is fortunate to have an office for the nurse in the Old High School building. Miss Peabody has done a fine piece of work during the year in assisting with first aid cases and in checking up on health of children who have been absent before they are admitted to school in
-136-
case of contagious disease. She has also investigated num- erous cases to determine cause of absence and to see if chil- dren are on the road to recovery. She has submitted the following: "The Physical Examinations by the school phy- sicians, Dr. Nickerson and Dr. Rowley, have been complet- ed and again this year the children seem in good condition, showing better gains in weight over last year.
We urge the parents to have children vaccinated be- fore they enter school. A certificate that it has been done or a note from the Doctor that an attempted vaccination was tried is sufficient. Otherwise a child will be sent home to stay until this has been done.
Excluding children from school with common colds has been beneficial.
The "follow-up" Chadwick Clinic was held last fall and reports were sent home to parents.
The Dental Examination was done by Dr. W. G. Turner of Marion, Massachusetts. The upper grades teeth seemed to be in good condition, but he was amazed at the condition of teeth in the first grade, stressing the need for a pre-school Dental Clinic. May we urge the parents to take care of the children's teeth through their own dentist. If they cannot afford it, they may have it done by the School Dentist for a small charge.
A great many children in the upper grades have been excused from gymnasium and showers. May we ask the parents' cooperation. After exercise in the gymnasium, the showers are taken to prevent colds, and a child physi- cally unfit should be the only one to be excused."
The School Physicians have been very cooperative. During the year they have responded to several first aid calls and have made many helpful suggestions for promo- tion of health. They report: "We are pleased to report that there has been less epidemic diseases than any previous school year of which we have record. This in spite of the
- 137 -
fact that there was more influenza on the Cape than for the past ten years.
For several years we have been considering what could be done to combat Public Malady No. 1, the common cold. Last year we decided the time was opportune for making a start. Our experience had convinced us that colds affect children more seriously than adults. Also that a number of more serious diseases such as measles, whoop- ing cough, scarlet fever, and diphtheria often begin with symptoms that closely resemble a common cold. More and more school work is becoming preventative rather than curative, and it is our wish to expand and increase health benefit for students.
We were a little in doubt as to whether we would have the full support and friendly cooperation of the par- ents in this matter, but decided to try for a year the pro- cedure of having the child suffering from an acute cold excluded from school. The results of our experiment have been most gratifying and we wish to take this opportunity of thanking the teachers for their alertness in sending chil- dren to the school nurse or doctor in the first stages. Also we are most grateful to the parents for their fine coopera- tion.
Increasing efforts are being made in all schools to the end that defects may be corrected and more emphasis is being placed on the proper development of the individ- ual student. As school physicians, we are interested as much in the development of good bodies to carry our young citizens through their lives as we are in preventing the particular infectious illnesses which may arise. A notable improvement in posture, particularly in the High School, is an indication of the improvement which is being made in the general physique of our pupils."
Faithful and perfect attendance are laudible achievements for any pupil to maintain. Let me state that there are many who during the past year have not been
-138-
absent and others who have not missed over three days. I would pay respect to such people. Punctuality and regu- larity are habits of great value in school and in all our work outside as well.
It has been thought best to discontinue the publi- cation of the usual list of those who had perfect or faithful attendance. Our health program has required that all who have a fresh cold should be sent home for protection of others as well as for their own best interest. Such people should not be penalized by having their names omitted from such a list nor should they be allowed to attend in order to be included in such a list if such attendance would be a danger to others.
Mr. Victor Ryder, the Supervisor of Attendance, will have the duty of issuing badges to newsboys during the year 1940. He will also take over the responsibility of is- suing educational certificates and work permits. Revision of the law in 1939 makes it necessary to issue badges in all towns even though they may not have been required to do so in previous years. This fall he took a census of minors between the ages of five and twenty-one. He reports that he has investigated all cases of absence which have been reported to him. He finds lack of suitable clothing or shoes to be the chief cause of absence.
A year of school activity can be evaluated in terms of individual children. There can be no successful school while there remains a child who has failed to share it. In order that the future may bring success to everyone, let me ask continued cooperation of all. For past success let me give credit to all who help. And helpers are many in- deed.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. PRATT.
Superintendent of Schools.
