I have had reason to believe that the parents generally
42
favor consolidation. I favor it because I believe we can have no professional teaching, however professionally equipped the teachers may be, under unprofessional external conditions ; that professional teaching is not possible in a mixed school of eight grades. For I understand profes- sional teaching to mean daily preparation for the proper presentation of each lesson according to the needs of each class and of each pupil in the class. This is not all there is to professional teaching, but there can be no professional teaching without this. Certainly no financial reason exists in Eastham why the schools of Eastham should not enjoy most excellent educational advantages, no reason why the external conditions should not be of the very best, no reason why consolidation should not be continued and profitted by to the fullest extent.
I think the people of Eastham agree with me that the town house is not the proper place for the primary school. I hope to see, not alone the continuation of this system of consolidation, but the erection of a new school house at the Centre, or such an addition to the present school house as will accommodate all the pupils in town. This house should be modern in all its appointments and equipments, and I would advocate having three schoolrooms. A ninth grade could be added, and three teachers employed with three grades to a teacher.
I believe that Music and Drawing should be more sys- tematically taught in the schools of the district, and to reach this end it would be well if those subjects were under the direction of a special supervisor. You may not be aware of the extent to which Music is taught as a regular branch of instruction in Massachusetts. Permit me to present some statistics relative to this subject :
There are 354 cities and towns in the State.
43
Vocal Music is taught as a regular branch of instruction in all the schools of 270 cities and towns.
These 270 cities and towns contain 96.8 per cent. of all the pupils in the State.
In the remaining 84 towns where Music is not a required study, it is taught in a considerable number of schools by teachers who are musically inclined.
Thus there are less than 3.2 per cent. of the pupils of Massachusetts who are not systematically taught in music. The pupils of Eastham are included in this small per- centage.
A recent Report on the Teaching of Music in the Public Schools of Massachusetts to the Committee on Music of the State Board of Education, says :
" There are members of the Board of Education who believe that the ear has a no less useful office than the eye. Through the spoken word, by the living voice, we come into the closest possible communion with our fellows; and when the common elements of sound existing in the world all about us are raised and glorified by the art of music, an avenue of life is open which knows no end. Especially in a materialistic age does the art of music become of great importance in providing food for the growth of that spirit- ual life without which a free Commonwealth cannot exist." And, further : "It gives them an opportunity to use their talent in giving pleasure to others, a matter of considerable importance in education."
In view of the above facts, and agreeing with the senti- ment of the State as expressed in the almost universal admission of Music into courses of study throughout the State, I herewith recommend that Music be adopted as a required study in the schools of Eastham, and that Eastham unite with other towns, preferably the towns of this super-
44
intendency district, for the employment of a Supervisor of Music and Drawing.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the committee for your earnest and fearless support during the past year; and to express the hope that through your wise efforts and the good sense of an aroused, enthusiastic and progressive peo- ple, harmony may be restored in the town, and every man, woman and child may be found working, heart and hand, for the best, most modern, and strongest system of schools that the resources of the town can secure.
Respectfully submitted, FRANK H. HILL, Superintendent of Schools.
