In September, 1946, it is planned to present vocational courses to the pupils in the high school in Machine Shop Practice, Radio, and Automotive.
Report of the Home Economics Department:
The fundamentals of Home Economics instruction are
always the same. However, it is true that continual ad- justments must be made to meet new problems and indi- vidual needs.
Although the war is ended it is necessary to continue many conservation and reconstruction projects, such as the Nutrition Classes in the Senior High which teach the essentials of an adequate diet for health, and how to meet some of our difficult problems; the renovation and remodeling projects, and salvaging of good materials in the Clothing Classes, work for the Junior Red Cross and Allied War Relief which teaches the girls to be helpful and considerate of those who are less fortunate, while be- ing trained themselves. This past year over one hundred children's dresses and pinafores were made by the High School classes for the Arlington Allied War Relief. For the Junior Red Cross over two hundred and fifty Christ- mas stockings have been made as tray favors for hospital- ized service men. These were filled with candy paid for by contributions from the High School students. Red Cross projects now under way are utility bags for service men, bed jackets for Children's Hospital, and layette gar- ments. The Foods Classes in all the secondary schools did a great deal of canning in the fall. The basic principles of Nutrition in relation to health, growth and physical fit- ness are emphasized. The students are taught to plan, prepare and serve simple low cost meals, using those foods available and substitutes whenever necessary. There are Foods Classes for boys in all junior high schools. The teachers report that the boys are greatly interested and take the work seriously, with excellent results.

The Home Management Course for Seniors in the High School gives instruction in the various phases of home and family living.
In our Clothing Classes there are some especially valuable projects in the Senior year, such as the construc- tion of a tailored coat, suit or dress by each girl, and the construction of a layette for the Arlington Visiting Nursing Association.
This year in place of our clothing exhibition and tea, clothing garments were on display in the Sewing Labora- tories, and the Foods Classes served light refreshments at several Parent-Teacher meetings.
Our chief aims in the future, as in the past, are to adapt our courses to meet some of the pressing problems of today, and to provide our girls with valuable instruc- tion which will carry over into their own homes now, and in the future.
The Art Department:
In addition to, and as a part of the regular course of study carried on by the Art Department of the public schools, a certain amount of experimental work has been done in the upper grades and in the junior and senior high schools through participation in competitions in which the work of the pupils of Arlington was compared and judged by non-partisan committees outside of this town. Entries were made in the following contests: the Annual School Poster Contest, sponsored by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; the National Contest for School Safety Posters, sponsored by the American Automobile Association of Washington, D. C .; the Regional Scholastic Art Awards Competition, sponsored by the Scholastic Magazines.
The awards in all of these contests consisted in the honor of being chosen for first-second-or honorable mention places. The S.P.C.A. did grant a gold and a silver
457
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
pin as first and second prizes, with a subscription to the magazine "Our Dumb Animals" for those who won honor- able mentions. The Scholastic Awards Committee attached either a gold seal or a key of achievement to a certificate which was sent to the pupil who won either honor. This particular competition took the form of a competitive re- gional exhibition of work from schools throughout the the State, sponsored and held by a Boston department store and a national contest at Pittsburgh. Those draw- ings or paintings that won the awards at the Regional Exhibit were sent by the co-sponsor to a National Exhibit and Contest at Pittsburgh for consideration and placing. Awards and scholarships were made there by the Carnegie Institute. Perhaps the most outstanding achievements that our department can report for the past year were the entry and awards won in these competitions. The work of the winning contestants was sent to Pittsburgh and from these we won National Place. In the Humane Poster Contest we won thirty-nine places, the work of each grade being con- sidered separately.
We held our annual school exhibition at the Robbins Library in October. From this exhibition the Art Com- mittee of the Arlington Woman's Club made selections which they in turn exhibited at their April meeting, and which helped win for them first placing in the State Woman's Clubs. Some of the work exhibited in the Robbins Library was sent, at the request of the Art Supervisor and Superintendent of the Brookline Schools, for exhibition at the High School in Brookline. It was on exhibition there for two weeks. An exhibition of our High School work was shown at the Harvard Graduate School early in October.
For the coming year we plan to continue the same type of work, hoping to improve both our production and our record of places won in whatever competitions we enter. At the present time the Scholastic Awards are listed for March and the Humane Posters for April. The classes at the High School are planning, as one of their problems after January

first, a new stage setting for the production of the Mikado, to be given in April by the High School Gilbert and Sullivan Club. Whether this can actually be constructed and painted by them depends to a large extent upon the safety rules and regulations for public assemblies.
The Supervisor has been made a member of the 1945-46 Regional Advisory Committee for the Scholastic Awards competition.
Progress in Music:
The outstanding achievement in the Music Department during the past year has been the growth and development of the instrumental program. In September of 1943 instru- mental class instruction in school time on band and orches- tral instruments was offered to pupils in the elementary schools in grades four, five, and six. At that time there were very few pupils in these grades studying a band or orchestral instrument. Last June at the end of two school years the elementary instrumental classes gave a spring concert at the High School in which 125 pupils took part. At the present time with the elementary instrumental pro- gram just starting its third year there are 160 pupils en- rolled. From this greatly enriched source of talent, the junior high schools have benefited greatly. In the spring of 1944 there were approximately forty in the three junior high school bands and orchestras. Now there are nearly one hundred. Within a few years the high school instru- mental organizations will have so much talent coming along each year that it will not be necessary, as is now the case, to augment the high school band with junior high school pupils.
Last January song-flutes were introduced in a fourth grade class at the Peirce School. This was done not only with the hope of stimulating more interest in instrumental music but also as a means of determining the aptitude of pupils to take a regular musical instrument. The results were much better than had been anticipated. During the
459
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
spring of this year there were fifteen pupils taking instru- mental class instruction at the Peirce School. This fall the number of pupils has increased to forty. This is the largest enrollment in any elementary school. The song-flute class was probably not entirely responsible for this increase, but, I feel sure that it was a large contributing factor. This fall song-flute classes have been organized in five fourth grades in three different elementary schools. The interest and en- thusiasm of both pupils and individual fourth grade teachers is just as keen as at the Peirce School. It is hoped that in the near future song-flute classes will be in all fourth grades. This will give all parents at small cost to themselves a fairly good idea whether or not it would be desirable for their children to take up a musical instrument.
In addition to the development of musical talent in the early grades of the school system, the normal work of the music department has continued as in the past.
The Gilbert and Sullivan Club produced the "Pirates of Penzance" last April. The high school band played at the home football games. The high school orchestra played at the majority of high school assemblies, for the "Pirates of Penzance," the Dramatic Club presentation of "Pride and Prejudice," the Arlington Woman's Club and the Locke Parent-Teacher Association. As far as the future is con- cerned, we look forward to peacetime conditions that will make more and more instruments available for rental and give us more and more pupils who will have the time to devote to music.
Objectives and Recommendations:
1. Approval was given at the Annual Town Meeting of a plan providing for the centralization of authority whereby full use is to be made of all recreational facilities within the town. This authority was placed with the Board of Park Commissioners. The appointment of a full time director and the provision of proper equipment will prove to be a for-
460
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
ward step in the expansion of a youth program. The sum- mer playgrounds have transferred from the school depart- ment to the park department and additional playground areas were utilized.
2. During the war period courses in pre-induction training were conducted at the high school as suggested by army authorities and the State Department of Education. Instruction in automotive, radio and machine shop will be expanded to three hour daily vocational courses as a part of the gradual expansion of the work of this department. Much interest has been shown in this type of education and has been instrumental in encouraging a number of boys to re- main in school to complete their high school education. The boy who is manually minded will have training in keeping with his abilities and interests.
3. A special committee, authorized at the Annual Town Meeting, is recommending the purchase of a site for a school in the Mystic Street area. If this recommendation is adopted the first step will have been taken in the provision of school facilities for the younger children in a section which is growing. This growth will become much more rapid with the provision of these facilities.
4. Consideration has been given to our addition to the Hardy School. This is based on the fact that the building is now near its capacity and it is understood that plans call for the erection of approximately seventy-five new homes in this district. Definite action will be postponed, however, until such time as it is ascertained as to the effect on the enrollment provided there is construction of parochial school facilities affecting the area near the parkway.
5. A sum of money is being requested to provide for architectural and engineering advice regarding the costs of additions and adjustments to several school buildings. Many parents, especially in the Morningside and Heights areas have presented petitions or have otherwise expressed their interest in the provision of cafeteria facilities in the Junior
461
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
High Center and Junior High West in order that these buildings might operate on a one session plan. Consider- ation should be given at the same time to an extension of the gymnasium area. The Junior High School Center has none and the area at the West is inadequate either for gym- nasium or for assembly purposes. Advice also should be ob- tained as to proper action to take regarding the completion of the Lowe Auditorium. At the present time it is but a shell, with temporary wiring which cannot be continued to provide lighting, and cannot be heated sufficiently for use during the winter months. To be of real service as an audi- torium, it should be enlarged to a size to permit the housing of the entire student body, thereby making this a service- able unit of the school which could also serve for the holding of graduation exercises when necessary.
Conclusion :
In conclusion, I express my appreciation to the School Committee, principals, teachers, and other members of the department who have cooperated during the year in the interests and welfare of the young people of Arlington.
