Dear Mr. Lord:
I herewith submit my report on the music work done in the schools of West Bridgewater for the year 1947.
The High School choral group was smaller than in previous years but showed a more marked appreciation of the better type of music. We did considerable work in the STANDARD SONG CLASSICS, a collection of songs from the great masters. The chorus listened to a few record selections by present day artists and heard the opera story of SAMSON AND DELILAH with a view to understanding the aria MY HEART AT THY DEAR VOICE which the class was learning.
In the grade schools the course of music study was followed and in most cases a steady growth was noted. Changes in the teaching personnel of some of the grades naturally affected pro- gress in the music. The upper classes at the Center School suf- fered very materially in accomplishment when they were operat- ing on the departmental program and when the time allowed for
163
music was decreased to one lesson in two weeks as was the case with the 7th grade, the present 8th grade. The pupils became disinterested, lost much in the mastery of technical problems. The present 7th grade lost much and although it was through no fault of theirs they are behind the present 6th just now. The group of boys in this class are good singers and willing workers and could have realized very creditable results had they been given the opportunity.
The 6th grade at the Center is doing very fine artistic sing- ing in three part songs and made marked advancement from Sep- tember to December. The 2nd grade is an unusually bright group in music. They received a very thorough training in the funda- mentals in the 1st grade and acquired the habit of learning to listen and then to do. This grade has many outstanding leaders and the supervisor has enjoyed testing and comparing with other children of the same year and even a year ahead. According to the teacher these children "love" their music and just "eat it up."
. There is something radically wrong some where when a class dislikes music time. Likewise there is something very gratifying and revealing when a little child expresses his liking for a song by saying, "I'd like to kiss it."
The music work in the smaller outside schools is in capable hands at the present time. There is a sincere intent to follow instructions and to cooperate with the supervisor.
Music at the Sunset Avenue School has always been enjoyed by the pupils. There never has been difficulty to get them to sing either in groups or individually, and the younger children delight in action songs and in playing the rhythm band.
Changes in the teaching staff of this building beginning with the opening of school in September did not retard the work. For a while the lack of a sufficient number of books in the 4th and 5th
164
grades room made the situation awkward but it was handled efficiently and the class is doing good work.
During the year the supervisor played recordings of music stories and other selections for the mere art of listening and ap- preciating.
May I quote in closing, "Great music moves freely through time and space. It stops for no boundary lines, meets with no language barriers. .... music comes close to being an interna- tional language, expressing through the centuries man's sorrow and his joy. And now, when so many millions are groping for that sense of human identity which might draw the peoples of the world closer together, music provides one of the distinctive answers."

REPORT OF SCHOOL' NURSE
Mr. Arthur B. Lord, Jr. Superintendent of Schools West Bridgewater, Mass.
Dear Mr. Lord:
School Physician, Dr. Joseph F. Calitri, completed physicial examinations of the student body. About one-half of the students at present have defective teeth. 125 notices were sent for defec- tive tonsil and adenoids. The expense of a tonsilectomy has ad- vanced so that it is almost prohibitive for the average family which is a good reason to establish better hygenic living, better nutrition and better dental habits.
165
At times skin eruptions were numerous. Follow up at homes to secure proper treatment and minimize loss of time out of school was part of the nurse's work. 15 cases of impetigo were reported, scabies and ring-worm were also present.
Every fourth year a clinic for finding possible tubercular cases is conducted at the High School by the Plymouth County Hospital Staff. 135 received the skin test-22 positive reactors were then chest X-Rayed including 3 teachers, results were neg- ative. There is a total of 9 follow-up cases which receive an annual checkup.
The State Department of Health loaned their audiometer for ear tests. It is very difficult to include the first grade as they haven't learned their numbers. None, however, showed a hearing loss that needed treatment.
Eyes were examined by teachers. Parents were notified of defects. Advice of specialist was secured and glasses furnished by parents, totaling 8 children.
All children were weighed and measured. Feet and heads were examined. 4 found with pediculi were excluded from school for proper treatment.
The Taunton Travel Clinic examined 10 children making recommendations for future training. The Child Guidance Clinic at Brockton is very helpful for speech therapy and remedial read- ing. There are 6 children unable to attend regular school.
There was a diphtheria scare in Cochesett School in January. Cultures proved there were 3 positive carriers of Klebs Loeffler Bacillus. Your Board of Health opened a clinic where 186 child- ren were given booster shots of Toxoid. 27 were immunized at the regular clinic. Many others were treated privately. 150 cultures were sent to the State Department of Health at various times. By being alert the danger of an epidemic was minimized.
166
For some time we have felt the need of a Health Council to promote interest and information of our children's needs. Mr. Lord called a meeting and various organizations chose a repre- sentative to be present. Principals from two of the schools with the help of their teachers compiled a booklet of information for parents whose children are entering school. Another important subject was a dental clinic. Dr. Chisholm, of Brockton, has con- sented to treat children recommended by our committee. Trans- portation to the dentist's office is a problem. Your nurse has been doing other chores. So far 6 half days spent, 20 children treated. It will take five years before you can see results.
A Well Child Conference was held at the Town Hall. The Staff consisted of Miss Janice Rofuse, M.D., Pediatrist; Alice Turner, nutritionist; Marcia Brooks, Dental Hygienist; assisted by Mrs. Clara Mahoney, R.N .; and your school nurse.
60 Children were examined, 11 of whom entered school.
14 needed remedial dental care at once.
12 have nose and throat defects.
5 had hernia.
30 only were immunized against diphtheria and 11 were vaccinated.
Many had bad eating habits. Young mothers seemed de- lighted to receive the advice of the pediatrist and nutritionist. A very instructive program.
Also, one child was sent to Plymouth Co. Health Camp for 8 weeks. Mrs. Sherman, your social service worker, and myself consulted about cases also contacted other agencies which bene- fited our cause.
In closing I wish to thank every one for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN M. HEWITT, R.N.

FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
As with other communities the cost of maintaining our ser- vices to the Townspeople becomes greater. In spite of efficient management, nation-wide trends combine to increase our burden of support.
In the opinion of the Finance Committee, the funds specified in Article 9 should be taken from the general highway appropriation.
In the opinion of the Finance Committee, Article 11 should have been included in the regular school budget. Salary increases in the school department do not meet with the approval of the Fi- nance Committee. It is recommended that the funds in Article 12 be taken from the 1948 school appropriation.
The construction of a sidewalk under Article 19 is not recom- mended, as the proposed site is state property.
Article 20, for hard-surfacing Progressive Avenue, is not rec- ommended, since the construction requested is already planned under the regular highway program.
If our recommendations are followed, a tax rate of $44.90 is anticipated.
A table of estimates by departments, amounts recommended by this committee and report of recommendations on articles ap- pearing in the town warrant appear on the following pages.
We wish to thank all who have assisted us in our work this year.
