REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC AND DRAWING
To Mr. Loring G. Williams, Superintendent of the Public Schools of Eastham, Orleans, Chatham, and Harwich :--
It gives me pleasure to submit to you my fifth annual re- port on the music and drawing of this district.
It has been a source of pleasure and compensation to observe the growth of interest and general advancement of the work in both music and drawing.
The chorus singing in the High schools has improved noticeably in the past year. This is due largely to the fact that the entering classes have been well prepared to take up part singing.
The primary music is going especially well in nearly every case, and I feel that a good foundation is being laid for future work.
Drawing in the Primary and Intermediate schools has included nature drawing, illustrative drawing, color, type solids, terms used in speaking of drawings, exercises in mus- cular movement, and paper construction.
Grammar school drawing has embraced perspective, color scales and harmonies, nature drawing, object drawing, ele- mentary design, and constructive design.
Much credit should be given to the teachers throughout the district for their loyal support, and for their careful execution of plans.
