"Do not let the needs of the hour, however demanding, or its burdens, however heavy, or its perils, however heart- breaking, make you unmindful of the defense of to-morrow, or of those disciplines through which an individual may have freedom, through which an efficient democracy is possible, through which the institutions of civilization can be perpet- uated and strengthened. Conserve, endure taxation and privation, suffer and sacrifice, to assure those whom you have brought into the world that it shall be not only a safe but also a happy place for them."-(Strayer and Engelhardt, "The Classroom Teacher, " page 22.)

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
Supt. Thomas E. Gay,
West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Mr. Gay:
In accordance with your request, I herewith submit my first annual report as Principal of the Howard High School.
I12
First, I thank you and the school board for the help, sug- gestions and support extended to me. I also appreciate the good work which Mr. Norton did in the hard position that he was in at the first of the year.
It has been with great pleasure and interest that I have taken up my work here. There are several strong features, which in the general makeup of the school, have been a very great help. First, and most important, is the teaching staff. I cannot say too much in the praise of the present faculty. I have never been in a school with such a strong, interested, and hard-working group. I hope everything possible will be done to keep the force intact another year, for the real value of a teacher increases with the length of period she stays.
In the second case, the curriculum was in very fine shape, and showed much hard work done by someone in the previous year. It is now possible for a pupil to choose the the course he desires and to tell exactly what studies he can take all four years. This is not only a great help to the stu- dents, but raises the efficiency of the school.
Most schools of our size have a course in Domestic Science. We have the room, part of the equipment and the students. All we need is a good teacher. I wish to empha- size that a good teacher is necessary, for it is much harder to start a course like this than to keep it going after it has once started. This course would round out the curriculum, hold girls in school, and give interesting work to those who intend to remain in their homes.
The time has come when due thought and consideration should be given to a longer school day. At present we are at school five hours. This is divided into seven periods and fifteen minutes for recess. It makes each period forty min- utes in length. As the time for passing is two minutes, it leaves only thirty-eight minutes for a recitation. This is not enough. If we had an extra hour the periods could each be
1.13
lengthened and also a much needed ten-minute physical ex- ercise period for all the pupils in the school could be started.
We also need more home study on the part of the stu- dents. As our school day is short, it means that less time can be spent studying in school. There isn't a person in school who should not be doing as a minimum two hours of home study. Most of the pupils need more. To compete with the ever rising standards of the other schools in the state we must have good conscientious work from the student body. Our standards can only be raised by hard work on their part. Home study is a matter in which the teacher has little control and depends wholly on the co-operation of the parents.
Our extra curriculum activity as a whole is a credit to the school. The orchestra and chorus are doing very credit- able work. The Minerva Club, composed of B students, has had several very pleasant evenings. Their aim is to encour- age higher marks and develop the better side of social activ- ities in a school. The boys' basketball team is coming along fast, we have a good average team. With the girls, it is hard to find a school that can give them even a good game. I feel we should have more school socials where all the boys and girls can get together. The right sort of a supervised party should strengthen school spirit. In a modern educational system there is a distinct place for social activity.
There are in the school at the present time 133 pupils, rather evenly distributed in the following classes:
Freshman, 40; Sophomore, 35; Junior, 29; Senior, 29
Considering the handicap during the first part of the year, I feel that the school is progressing, and is in as good condition as can be expected. The future prospects look very bright indeed:
114
1. If we can hold the teachers another year.
2. If we can have a Domestic Science course.
3. If we can have home study.
4. If we can have a longer school day.
Respectfully submitted,
H. D. CARLE, Principal.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
To the Superintendent and School Committee of West Bridge- water:
In submitting to you my first report on the music in our schools, I find it difficult to put into a few words the many things I would say and suggestions I would make for more effective results in singing.
The one thing needed above all others is Time. There is not enough time devoted to the subject, yet it is one of the most influential for the making of good citizenship.
When our boys and girls leave school and mingle with others of their kind in a social way, it is Music that contrib- utes more to this social intercourse than any other subject taught in school.
In this day and age when the so-called popular music is literally poured into the ear of the public; when compositions of this type of music is here today and gone tomorrow; when its influence is unquestionably pernicious; are we doing all we can? Do we feel the imperativeness of the situation to sow the seeds of pure, wholesome and lasting musical influ- ence in our public schools today?
115
Great strides are being taken along this line in the West. Credit is being given for outside work in Music. We of New England are more conservative. It is hard to break away from the beaten path. Our Pilgrim Forefathers regarded music as somewhat immoral and frivolous except the psalms the men chanted in a long Sunday morning service. But I believe if these same Fathers were living today they would enter heart and soul into the work of school music in order to root out the "jazz" that is flooding the public ears of the present time.
I find the amount of time given to our work in singing very inadequate to the needs of our schools. When we spend the allotted thirty minutes in chorus work there is no time left to study into the elements of song; and when we spend our period in understanding the technical side of the work in hand there is no time left for actual rendering.
When the Great War called for the entrance of our boys in khaki it was "men, guns and music" asked for. Why? Is it not because of the inspiration, the moral influence of song?
There are three classes of music lovers: the listener, the performer, the creator. Our pupils are in the first class largely, and it is our first duty to look out for them. If he hears the right thing, the child might be inspired to do it.
We should have time for listening lessons. This can be taught very satisfactorily through a talking machine. The more one learns about a thing the better the understanding and appreciation.
Recently in one of the schools in my district we pur- chased a victrola. The pupils had heard for the first time a certain number of choice selections. One was Kreisler's ren- dering of Dvorak's "Indian Lament," a composition with no very marked melody but with a story and harmony appealing and beautiful. The class listened to it courteously but with
116
no great amount of pleasure. I asked a few questions, point- ed out a few typical things about the style, mode and charac- ter of the work; said something about the loneliness of an Indian's grief; about Kreisler as a famous violinist; Dvorak as a composer; and then we listened to the selection again. The teacher told me some time afterward that it is one of the first records the class calls for when she makes ready to play the victrola. Why? It came to have a real meaning to them. The class had to use brains as well as ears.
From the High School down through the grades there should be time for Music Appreciation Lessons. I believe the pupil's attitude in many cases toward music would be different.
The chorus work in the High School is far from satisfac- tory but improving steadily. There should be time for extra work. If the pupils are willing to do this extra work after school hours they should receive credit for it.
The tone quality in all the schools is improving. We are aiming for sweeter and lighter tone rather than bigger tone.
The outlying schools need more supervision. Where there are so many grades and a crowded curriculum there ought to be a frequent change of song material or the class becomes uninterested and unresponsive. They need a change of "musical diet."
These problems present themselves and in time there will come a solution.
But they are our boys and girls and we love them, and the best is not too good for them, and we want to do all we can for their best future welfare. They are going forth with the equipment we furnish them and with the gifts granted them by nature and inheritance. Let us work for a singing America-an America whose heartfelt song shall be heard throughout the world.
LOIS J. SNOW, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE.
Mr. Thomas E. Gay,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Mr. Gay:
I have the honor to submit herewith my first report as School Nurse of West Bridgewater.
It is my desire in presenting this report to give an out- line of the work being done in the schools by the nurse under the direction of the School Physicians, and also some idea of the physical condition of the pupils as found in the many ex- aminations which have been made.
There is one examination made each year by the physi- cian and nurse and called the general examination. These examinations have totaled 619 since Sept. 1, 1921. This work will be continued during the year 1922. Examinations for pediculosis (lice) and general inspections for cleanliness called routine inspections are made as often as time permits.
Following is a tabulated report of these examinations made and diseases found as near as can be determined.

The matter of vaccinations has taken a great deal of time. Following is a copy of the law regarding the same. Chapter 44, Section 6, of the Revised Laws of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, reads as follows:
"A child who has not been vaccinated shall not be admit- ted to a public school except on presentation of a certificate granted for cause stated therein, signed by a regular practis- ing physician that he is not fit for vaccination."
Certificates of immunity unless issued as a result of unsuccessful vaccination during the present year cannot be accepted. In other words if your child was pronounced im- mune even as recently as a year ago it does not necessarily follow he is immune now.
The parents in most cases have co-operated with the nurse which has helped to a great extent.
THE TEETH.
In referring to the table you will notice about 33% of the pupils have defective teeth, which means from five to ten decayed teeth to each pupil. Many others naturally have good teeth but these are uncared for and are unclean. In my estimation not more than one-third of the pupils ever have dental care and these are mostly Eighth Grade and High School pupils. Good care of the teeth is an important factor in promoting good health.
ADENOIDS AND TONSILS.
It is safe to say 50% of the pupils suffer from diseased adenoids and tonsils, only advanced cases being recorded in the table. Unfortunately serious results follow excess growth of adenoid tissue and enlarged or diseased tonsils. Should diphtheria become prevalent in this town the results no doubt would be disastrous. .
J20
The mentality of children suffering with this disease is below normal. As may be noticed in the Eighth Grade of 66 pupils, 20 have defective tonsils or adenoids.
The Center School, being West Bridgewater's largest school, the nurse finds a great deal to do there. Many minor cases of bruises, cuts and abscesses have to be dressed or treated, also mild cases of impetigo have been taken care of.
These minor diseases respond quickly to treatment, while if the child was sent home, in many cases, the ailment would be entirely neglected. Many are cared for by the teachers to keep up the attendance in the absence of the nurse. .
There is much to do in the outlying schools in comparison with the number of pupils. There is need of a few first aid remedies in each school for emergencies. The High School needs a first aid kit and portable scales could be used to advantage. At present the time is so limited it would be im- possible to weigh and measure each child, but it would be a help in the case of under nourished pupils.
In closing my report I would recommend a general clean- ing of the older school buildings, especially the out-buildings which have apparently been neglected. The use of individual drinking cups must not be overlooked as a safe guard against spreading disease.
I trust this report will meet with your approval and re- quest the continued co-operation of parents, teachers and the public with the nurse in her duties.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN M. HEWITT, School Nurse.

(To the tune of "The Orange and the Black.")
Oh Howard must we leave you Must we leave you now tonight,
With no loving hand to lead us Through the changing scenes of life Must we ne'r more see your faces Lit up by comrades' smile Nor hear your words of wisdom That have made our lives worth while?
REFRAIN:
And although we keep on climbing We cling to you for aye For you've made our pathway golden And helped us win the day.
It is just four years gone past We climbed these self-same stairs
As freshies melancholy Full of sorrow and despair
But Old Pals you gathered 'round us Ever glad to do your part And the seed of Friendship sowed there That gave us hope and heart.
REFRAIN :
And as we pass on to victory With our banner waving high We'll praise our Alma Mater And our friends of Howard High.
