Parent-Teacher Associations
"It is always a joy to record acts of generosity to the schools, and it gives me great pleasure to report that several of the elementary schools have been enriched during the past year by gifts from the Parent-Teacher Associa- tions. The gifts include, among other things, two sound mo- tion picture machines, two duplicating machines, two large pictures for the classrooms, and a two-hundred-dollar de- fense bond. Individual members of the associations gave valuable assistance during the rationing of sugar, have helped, and are continuing to help, with the sale of defense stamps. This cooperation on the part of these worthy or- ganizations is most commendable and I wish, on behalf of principals and teachers, to make special mention of it."
OUR INDUSTRIAL ARTS SCHOOL
This school accomplishes more, in my estimation, in the molding of the best kind of citizens than any school of its kind anywhere. A departmentalized school, it offers academic work, hand work, including shop mechanics, loom work, cooking, nutrition, and home care. The guidance pro- gram plays an important part with follow-up work of pu- pils at home and at employment. The Junior Citizens' Club, made up of the entire membership of the school, has en- gaged in meetings, excursions to places of civic interest, and library periods; with its programs made up principally of educational projects. In general, this character building program, the main objective, guarantees to society a useful citizen. More of our townspeople should visit this school. They will be convinced of its value.
WORK OF THE ATTENDANCE DEPARTMENT
The School Department has two home visitors and a teacher of physically handicapped children. Home in- struction is required in Massachusetts in town or cities hav- ing five or more pupils handicapped to such an extent that they cannot attend school. At present there are eleven of
426
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
these children in Arlington. The good work of the teacher is evidenced in the fact that nearly all of these pupils who are able to return to school take up their studies without loss of a grade.
The home visitors must check all delayed enrollments at the opening of school in September, take the school cen- sus of all children of school age, as required by law, and make daily attendance visits. Each principal reports daily regarding absent pupils. The department owes to parents employed in war work an extra responsibility during this emergency. The home visitors' share of this responsibility takes the form of an increased number of evening visits, made necesary by the fact that the parents are not avail- able in the daytime.
Our school census brings to light the fact that a num- ber of children attend school in Arlington whose parents live elsewhere. These boarding children are looked up and each case is considered in relation to the collection of tuition.
Other visits to homes are made to bring about individ- ual adjustment. These cases are referred to the home visitors by principals who discover that some factor out- side the school is causing difficulty and needs to be remedied in order that the child may make normal progress in school. The adjustments also grow naturally from needs arising in connection with attendance work, boarding children and particularly with physically handicapped children. Always it is the purpose of our home visitors to bring the child into a natural relationship with his school and his teacher so that he no longer needs extra attention.
All boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one who are employed must obtain a State Employ- ment Certificate from the School Department office. There has been a large increase in the number of these certificates issued.
Both boys and girls may attend state-aided trade schools in other cities as Arlington has no school of this
427
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
type. The state law permits any pupil to obtain vocational instruction elsewhere provided he has attained his four- teenth birthday and it is evident from his record in our schools that he can profit by such instruction. It is the duty of the home visitors to check these records and to approve the applications of these prospective trade school pupils for admission. The Town must pay the tuition of these pupils from the school budget, although half of this tuition money is returned to the Town treasury by the State.
OUR ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION
All of our pupils have the opportunity to study art and drawing during a portion of their public school educa- tion. Those who have special talent may elect the subject for additional study. Drawing is a sure way to develop the imagination. Arlington citizens may point with pride to the accomplishments of our Art Department. If anyone is in doubt he should take the time to visit the annual exhibit at the Robbins Library. The well-known art critic, Mr. A. J. Philpott, had the following to say in reference to his visit to our exhibit last September :
"The work as a whole is surprisingly good. All grades are represented. It is very evident that this educational feature is taken very seriously in Arlington. Both the teachers and the pupils are to be congratulated on the work shown in this exhibition. In the lower grades the children are taught to make designs with colored papers. Next come the drawing and the use of pencils, pens, and colors. Here again the poster work is outstanding. The lettering and the captions are good. In point of fact lettering is one of the most difficult and one of the most essential parts of all poster work. It should be part of the design as a whole, but it should not dominate the central feature of the design. Of course, much of this poster work relates to the war and to war activities. But aside from this there are some fine de- signs of a commercial character. There are some excellent flower pictures; architectural scenes, landscapes and draw- ings from life."

OBJECTIVES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is unwise to make definite recommendations without a longer association with our problems. However, several items listed below have been previously recommended and are deserving of consideration. Other items of lesser im- portance may be considered as objectives in the general improvement of the school system.
1. Further cooperation with the war effort through the extension of the so-called pre-induction courses now being taught in the high school.
2. Planning the civic course at the high school to in- clude a program for the boys not intending to enter college, which will give them the broader foundation of trade training which apparently is what the Federal Government tends to recommend for the future. A definite trade school course has already been given some consideration in Arlington and a broadening of our limited vocational work along the lines now being recommended would lay a sub- stantial foundation for the time when housing and equipment for a trade school may be provided. The Town spends a substantial sum each year for vo- cational instruction in schools elsewhere and many more boys would take advantage of such instruction were it provided at home.
3. Development of a physical education war fitness program. A definite program is recommended by the Federal Government. We have already put into use some portions of these recommendations. Fur- ther adjustments to our program will bring us more into line.
4. Extension of our summer playgrounds to the end of August. Due to the present emergency more of our children will remain at home during the summer va- cation. An organized playground program of eight
429
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
or nine weeks duration, instead of the usual six weeks, should be advantageous as a recreational and safety measure.
5. Development of instruction through further use of visual aids. Much more can be accomplished in a shorter time through use of teaching films now be- ing made available on an extensive scale on a rental basis. Several of our Parent-Teacher Associations have cooperated through the purchase of sound equipment in some of our buildings. This program is handicapped at present as much equipment is not available, but this phase of education is bound to play a big part in our instructional service, and plans should be made to make this type of teaching available to our pupils.
6. Extension of instruction in instrumental music to include the upper grade of the elementary schools. Piano classes are organized for these grades and previously, pupils who played an orchestral instru- ment had an opportunity of belonging to one of the elementary school orchestras. Unfortunately these orchestras are not organized at the present time due to lack of an instructor. Some portion of the time of the present instrumental instructor may be worked out to avoid much additional cost for this type of instruction in the elementary schools.
7. The replacing of the Russell School has been recom- mended for some time. Actual construction of a building or buildings is out of the question for the near future. Progress has been made, however, as it is understood that a joint recommendation is to be made by the School Committee, the Planning Board and the Programming and Planning Committee to purchase some land for two sites. One site would provide for a building to house those Russell School pupils east of the center, and the other to care for the Mystic Street, Summer Street, Morningside
430
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
section as well as any housing development in the Cutter Hill section. This is a good business propo- sition now as land values are due to increase when new housing is again possible. The two-site plan will afford more convenient school facilities than we have at present to care for the pupils in the sections covered by the present building .
CONCLUSION
May I take this opportunity to express my apprecia- tion for your support of my endeavors and for your genuine interest in the education and welfare of the young people of Arlington.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) CLIFFORD R. HALL, Superintendent of Schools.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN AND SUPERINTENDENT OF THE MOTH AND TOWN HOUSE GROUNDS DEPARTMENTS
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as Tree Warden and Superintendent of the Moth and Town House Grounds De- partments for the year ending December 31, 1942.
I was appointed Tree Warden on April 1, 1942, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Daniel M. Daley, who had served the Town in this capacity for a good many years.
In the spring of the year, three hundred and thirteen (313) new trees were planted on recently constructed streets that were finished the preceding year, as well as some replacements where former trees had died.
