Tune :- "Love's Old Sweet Song."
Written by Alice M. Rice Now as we leave dear Howard High tonight, We'll struggle on to always do the right, We'll ne'er forget the happy days gone by, And the mem'ries of dear Howard High. For four long years we strived to reach our goal We have succeeded far from the shoal.
.160
After the joy of our school days has passed, After the lessons and pleasures are o'er, Then will sweet mem'ries troop gaily before, Bring us their balm in life's rustle and roar. Trouble and hardships then will have gone by, But not our love for dear Howard High.
Chorus:
Just a word of farewell, As we say adieu, To our friends and teachers, We owe so much to you. May we ne'er forget you And dear friendships made May sweet mem'ries always, Cherished will remain Cherished will remain.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools, West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I take pleasure in submitting to you my report on the music in the schools. The work of the teachers and pupils has been very satisfactorily done and a happy relationship maintained throughout all the classes. With the exception of one visit to the Jerusalem School, the Supervisor has been able to reach all schools according to schedule.
In April a cantata was presented by the Centre School under the auspices of the Parent Teachers' Association, the Music Supervisor being in charge. This was a creditable performance and gave the public some knowledge of the work done in music.
Early in September the classes were re-stocked with new books wherever needed and the work carried on with renewed interest and enthusiasm.
An attempt was made to organize a toy symphony orchestra in the First Grade room at the Centre. This was dropped because there was no available funds for procuring the necessary instruments. There should be an orchestra of this kind at the Centre and Sunset Avenue Schools. The children are eager for it and it is one of the best and most delightful means for rhythmic training. It is an excellent foundation for future orchestral study. The child learns how to handle the instruments in an orderly and efficient manner. He unconsciously acquires a feeling for tonal color and balance. He finds he has an avenue for self-ex- pression.
The work in a toy symphony orchestra trains for con- centration, for mental alertness, for quick, muscular co-or- dination, for rhythmic expression through physical motion. It also acts as a potent means for arousing the subnormal
162
child. It is hoped that something may be done along this line another year.
At one of the State Supervisors' conferences held in Boston a few years ago, Commissioner of Education, Pay- son Smith, was asked why music was not compulsory in the public schools of Massachusetts. He answered by saying that music, as it is in our schools today, has attained its place not by compulsion but by a natural and steady growth, which, in his opinion, is surer, stronger and more permanent. I have felt this to be true with respect to our high school music.
I would like to give a brief outline of the growth of the High School chorus.
When first I came to West Bridgewater, music was compulsory and according to the traditions of the school the boys did not sing. They were present physically but not vocally. This was a serious problem, but before long the boys began to sing although they would only sing melody. The next step which promised well, was the development of bass and tenor groups. Later, music was made elective but there was apparently no decrease in interest. Today we have a chorus of boys and girls who are ready and will- ing to sing parts, or in groups with or without piano accom- paniment.
While the status of music in our schools is very grati- fying on the whole, more might be done for those who are interested to do extra curricula work.
Music has always been a builder of morale. Long years, centuries, before the Pilgrims ". .. shook the depths of the desert gloom with their hymns of lofty cheer," the Children of Israel sang as they passed through the Red Sea-David wrote his psalms-Solomon his songs-the world-renowned warriors of pagan Rome marched to war to music-in the catacombs and in the arena of death, martyrs sang songs of courage and hope defending their faith. In the jungles the primitive negro is affected by the
163
mystic, rhythmic tom-tom. The American Indian in his war dance and song reached a high emotional pitch of courage and daring.
Music is a universal language. It needs no interpre- tation. It knows no home for its home is everywhere.
In closing may I thank you, and through you the teachers, for the co-operation given me this past year.
Respectfully yours,
LOIS J. SNOW, Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIANS
On account of the number of cases of scarlet fever among the school children during the past season we feel that greater care must be taken to assist in preventing further contagion.
The diseases to be dreaded mostly in our schools are scarlet fever, diphtheria, infantile paralysis, measles, whooping cough and incipient tuberculosis any of which may prove fatal. The time to prevent these diseases is at their beginning.
Parents must report at once to the Board of Health and School Physicians if their children become ill with any of the above ailments. A very slight case of a communic- able disease in one child may cause a very severe case in another and if proper care and quarantine are not main- tained a serious epidemic may be the result.
Any head of a household where there is a person suf- fering from a contagious disease, not having a physician in attendance, must notify immediately the Board of Health
164
of the case. The Board of Health establishes a quarantine and notifies the School Committee and the Public Library. Breaking quarantine is a serious matter and carries with it a penalty.
While in quarantine no books from the Public Library shall be destroyed or removed from the premises, but must be delivered to the School Nurse to be cared for by the proper authorities.
Many cases are examined by the School Physicians at their offices and certificates issued to those who will not prove a menace to other pupils in the schools and many pre- sent themselves at the request of the School Nurse and teachers for examination during the year.
Further details concerning the work will be found in the report submitted by the School Nurse, who with the teachers, have rendered us admirable assistance.

SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT
Mr. Richard D. Tucker,
Superintendent of Schools,
West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my annual report of health work in the schools.
All schools have been visited at least once every two weeks. Routine examinations have been made for control of contagious diseases ; teachers and superintendent were notified of findings.
165
It is necessary that parents be informed of rules gov- erning communicable diseases.
First of all contagious or infectious diseases shall be reported to the local Board of Health-General Laws, Chapter 111, section 31-or be liable to a fine for failure.
The term Quarantine means that persons in their dwellings are under restrictions and shall not leave said premises except by permission of the Board of Health. Isolation means that persons infected. shall live apart in rooms from other members of the household in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Health. Isolation and Quaran- tine should continue until released by direction of the Board of Health.
The minimum periods of isolation are as follows:
QUOTED FROM MASS. BOARD OF HEALTH
Disease
Minimum Period of Quarantine
Children Not Immune
Anterior Poliomyelitis (Infantile Paralysis)
Two weeks from onset of disease and there- after until acute symptoms have subsided.
Chicken Pox
Seven days and until all crusts have disap- peared.
No restrictions.
German Measles
One week from date of rash.
Consult Board of Health.
Measles
One week from date of rash.
Exclusion from school for 16 days from date of exposure.
166
Mumps
One week from onset of disease and there- after until the disappearance of swelling of salivary glands.
No restriction.
Diphtheria
One week from date of report and until two successive negative cultures taken at least 24 hours apart from nose and throat have been obtained.
If 2 negative cultures are taken and child lives away from home. Quarantine at home otherwise.
Scarlet Fever
Four weeks from date of rash and thereafter until infective discharges have ceased.
If child is away from home one week and continues to live away from home he may re-enter school.
Whooping Cough
Twenty-eight days from onset of disease or until spasmodic cough ceases.
Exclusion from school 2 weeks from ex- posure.
If child lives away from home one week and stays away from home can re-enter school, otherwise same restrictions patient.
167
Any child being absent from school three days or more because of illness, must obtain a certificate from either of the School Physicians granting permission to return to school. This is a matter of precaution to protect other pupils. At the office 68 examinations were made beside the number of certificates granted for re-admission to school.
Two yearly visits to each school were made by the School Physicians, one for annual examinations including High School, the other for general inspection. Diseased tonsils and defective teeth out-number other defects and for the physical and mental well being of the child should be cared for. Conditions generally are better than in previ- ous years. Through the efforts of our superintendent and co-operation of our school committee many changes for the bettering of conditions have been made.
In all the schools the installing of the electric lighting system has been completed, an improvement which is much appreciated.
The Dental Clinic was run 19 full days with 154 pupils receiving treatment. All but ten had work completed. We are looking forward to accommodating a larger number of primary grade pupils as this is the important age hereto- fore emphasized.
After having tonsils and adenoids removed two boys attended the Summer Health Camp at Hanson and show very pleasing results.
Much time has been given to follow-up work and very gratifying results have been obtained. May I in closing express my appreciation for the hearty co-operation re- ceived.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN M. HEWITT, School Nurse.
