REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Ernest W. Robinson,
Superintendent of Schools,
West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Sir :
I herewith submit my annual report as music supervisor in the public schools of West Bridgewater.
The quality of work throughout the schools and the interest of the pupils have been well maintained in spite of the rigid economy which has been necessary. In the high school every class is well represented in the singing group indicating a growing interest on the part of the students. At the opening of school in September the enrolment of the boys was less than in former years with a consequent low- ering of the percentage of male voices in the chorus. How- ever, those who are taking music are doing creditable work and the supervisor is certainly gratified at the co-operation and ready response of the students.
Since the first of November glee clubs for boys and girls respectively have been started with very promising at- tendance. These clubs meet for a half hour period every Wednesday afternoon at the close of the high school session. This was made possible by a re-arrangement of the elemen- tary school schedule and by the fact that on the half day when the supervisor is due in town she has available time which enables her to give practically the entire day.
In the grades the lack of a sufficient number of books was, for a time, somewhat of a handicap to the steady prog- ress of the work in music.
The work at Matfield was retarded for a few weeks be- cause of a necessary change in books which did not meet the needs of the class.
At Sunset Avenue the third and fourth grades have met with some loss which is due to crowded classrooms and lack
171
of supplies. This difficulty has been overcome by the pur- chase of new books at the close of the year. This new mater- ial, arranged so attractively in the Music Hour series, is particularly appealing to the classes and the progress of the work is assured. During the past year choir singing has been stressed in the lower grades. A child is made a member of the choir in his room if he sings melodically, reads cor- rectly and keeps good time, or in other words meets the re- quirements which include the three T's of music-Tone, Time and Theory. This plan has been a decided stimulus to boys and girls alike. They are more attentive, more critical and more responsive in their effort to be appointed to this chosen group and feel it is an honor "to make" the choir.
In the upper grades and high school there have been discussions on radio programs and artists, on the Washing- ton bi-centennial celebration-which the Center graduation featured in June-on the special MacDowell concerts throughout the country in memory of the American com- poser and the founding of the Petersborough colony in New Hampshire.
In these trying times of unemployment, of business de- pression and talk of retrenchment, the ability to make and enjoy music adds much to our daily lives by way of spiritual compensation.
Yours respectfully,
LOIS J. SNOW, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee :
I herewith submit my annual report. Dr. Ellis LeLa- cheur, the school physician, examined the children when school opened in September. The physicial condition of the pupils was good.
At Howard High School eight notices were sent for de- fective tonsils and. adenoids. Seven were refused permission to play basketball. Only one notice sent for defective teeth. Several bad cases of impetigo and ringworm were excluded.
Continuing examinations at the Grammar School notices were sent for defective tonsils and adenoids: Center, 31; Sunset Avenue, 19; Matfield, 11; Cochesett, 9; Jerusalem, 1.
All children entering school were duly vaccinated. Twenty-three children examined and x-rayed by Dr. McCarthy from the Division of Tuberculosis in the follow-up Chadwick Clinic. This annual check-up on suspect hilum cases is invaluable. All cases were reported improved. One child attended Summer Health Camp for eight weeks. Seven retarded children were examined at a special clinic.
Routine inspections were made and all reported cases of infection investigated. Cases of impetigo, pink eye, ring- worm, poison ivy received doctor's certificates before re- turning to school. Over 300 mild contagious cases referred to school physician.
Six children received glasses after careful checkup on vision. Seven children were examined twice at the Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston. Four were furnished glasses. Two children were taken for ear diagnosis, one will be en- tered for operation for granulated polypus. The Toxine-anti- toxine treatment for diphtheria was administered to 224 children by Dr. McKnight who is District Health Officer and will follow up with the Schick test in the near future .:
Many families, owing to these distressing times, have
173
been unable to provide necessities. The Red Cross assisted the Welfare Department at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas. New as well as other articles of clothing have been distributed to needy families. It has been a great help to have the community interest and willingness to give money and service to relieve our social problems which are increasing. The teachers have been very helpful; also the S. P. C. C. has given their assistance in investigating cases of cruelty.
I herewith in closing express my appreciation to all those who have given me their very helpful support in my work toward Community Welfare.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN M. HEWITT, School Nurse.

Success is just a step ahead. You've been an ever welcome guide ; You've shown us paths that we're to tread.
We've studied hard-now we depart- For knowledge gained our thanks impart. To you, our school, our praise is due. We'll ne'er forget days spent with you.
Goodbye, dear Howard High, goodbye ! It's time for us to say adieu. . Long years we've spent without a sigh, And now our high school days are through. Fast friends we've made in these four years From whom we part with sighs and tears. A toast to Howard High so true- Farewell to happy days with you.

Finance Committee Report.
In considering the budget for 1933, the committee find; themselves faced with these conditions :
1. Reduced income from the State distribution of funds:
2. Increased State tax;
3. Increased Town expenses for welfare and relief of unemployment;
4. Decreased capacity of property owners to pay taxes.
The committee has worked with the assessors in an attempt to determine as accurately as possible the anticipated income from the State and probable State levies on the Town. The information received shows a material reduction in re- ceipts, such as Income tax, Corporation tax, and returns from Old Age Assistance. Last year we also received $4,500.00 from a special allotment of the Gas tax. This year the Town receives no aid from this source. The State tax, on the other hand, will probably be at least one-third larger than last year.
During the year 1932, the Town expended $11,318.22 for Public Welfare, as compared with approximately $6,500.00 spent yearly in 1930 and 1931. There is no apparent proba- bility of the Town being able to reduce this expense for the coming year at least.
West Bridgewater is a residential town, having no local manufacturing or sizable industry from which to derive taxes. The cost of running the Town government falls directly upon the house owner, whose ability to pay taxes has been greatly
183
reduced by pay cuts and general unemployment, and by the low prices received by the producers of farm and dairy products.
These conditions make it imperative that the tax rate be made as low as possible without placing a handicap on the proper operation of our town departments. We realize that pay reduction is not the solution of the entire economic prob- lem facing us all. However, as gross mismanagement is absent in our town government, there seems to be but one place where material curtailment of expenditures can be made. This is in the pay received by town employees. In our conferences with several of the department heads we found they were considering the problem from this same angle, and some of them in submitting their budgets have anticipated a change in the rate of pay of the town employees.
We therefore recommend to the town the following pay schedule for the fiscal year of 1933 :
A reduction of 10% on all employees on salary or day pay.
A reduction to 50c per hour on all other town employees paid by the hour, except department heads paid on the hour- ly basis, who will receive 521/2 c per hour.
In all possible cases where aid is given by the Welfare department, labor should be expected in return, the rate of pay to be left in the hands of the Welfare Board.
As soon as financial conditions warrant the change, we believe there should be an adjustment of certain salaries paid town officials.
In our recommendations, we have endeavored to provide the largest possible opportunity for town labor that our appro- priations will warrant. We understand that should the appropriation be made for construction of Copeland and Plain Streets, town labor will be used. For the same reason we recommend the resurfacing of Howard Street and the replace- ment of water mains by the Water department.
We believe the cost of reconstructing Howard Street
184
should be taken from the general highway appropriation. Such a plan insures the completion of the road proposed. This street was one of those recommended by the Road commit- tee of the Town, as a part of their general plan of road con- struction. We feel the Road committee has made a good start in the selection of roads already constructed and sug- gest a long term plan of road construction be worked out and filed with the Town officials before the committee's term expires.
We do not recommend the construction of any new side- walks in 1933. Sidewalks are desirable in many places, but we feel this is not the year to spend the money.
In voting on appropriations this year, we hope the voters will keep in mind the seriousness of the situation as shown by the amount of uncollected taxes which is constantly in- creasing. The total of uncollected taxes on January 1st, 1933 was $75,882.68 as compared with $61,970.24 on January 1st, 1932. Every effort must be made by the taxpayers and the collector to reduce this amount if relief on the tax burden is expected. Collected taxes furnish the money to pay the Town's expenses.
The total appropriations for 1932 were $119,608.36. We recommend for departmental expenses (as shown in "Table of Comparison " which follows) a total of $100,801.26 and for articles in the warrant a total of $4,070.50. The entire amount we have recommended for 1933 is $105,356.76. In spite of this reduction of over $14,000.00 in the recommended budget for this year, the increase in the State tax and the decrease in revenue received from the State will more than offset our savings. We are facing an increased tax rate, but if the voters choose to follow our recommendations, we should have a tax rate not more than $1.00 per thousand higher than last year.
We thank the Town Officers who have co-operated with us, by their attendance at our conferences and by their advice,
185
in our efforts to recommend a budget which will meet the needs of the Town as a whole.
A table of estimates by department heads and amounts recommended by this Committee, also a report of our recom- mendations on the articles in the Town Warrant appear on the following pages.
