ATTENDANCE
School attendance is placed by law in the hands of the Superintendent; he details his teachers to keep records ; obtain written excuses for absence and tardiness, signed by parents ; look up every case of absence and satisfy herself that such absence is a legal one, or if she is not satisfied of the reasons for absence, she shall send the attendance officer to investigate the case.
Parents sometimes do not understand, and feel very sensitive about having the teacher call, or to have the attendance officer call for imformation. If your child is absent lawfully from school then there can be no reflection cast upon you nor him; and if he is absent unlawfully then you should welcome the enforcement of the law for the good of your child. The law states that the child shall be in school every day the school keeps from 7 years to 14 years, and also from 14 to 16 unless the child is regularly employed in some profitable employment, obtaining first a certificate of Home Permit.
When a teacher calls to see you as to why your child is absent, she is engaged thereby in your interest, and in the interest of your child-supporting the laws of the State as is her duty. It is no time for the parent to lose temper
63
and rain abuse upon the teacher. She is doing only her duty.
Sometimes misunderstandings arise in cases when a child is not well, and yet not sick enough to be shut in; he goes about, meets and mingles with other children, and sometimes makes statements that influence others to try being absent. Now such a child might be lawfully ab- sent, but to avoid differences of opinion, as to his condition it is always best for him to furnish the teacher with a writ- ten statement from the attending physician that the child is not sufficiently strong to attend school.
REPAIRS UPON BUILDINGS
The lighting of the buildings should receive attention. They are lighted from two sides with blackboards arranged between the windows on either side. The space for boards is no more than three feet, and when children study from the board they are compelled to look into the bright light of at least two windows. Blackboards are exceedingly poor generally. An appropriation sufficient to rearrange the windows of each room, and to install new slate boards in such spaces as will remove serious danger to the eyes of children, should be made.
FINANCIAL
Let us remember that our school appropriations should be such as to warrant the largest returns possible from the Massachusetts School Fund, and also, that reimbursement from High School Transportation be entire.
Respectfully submitted, LORING G. WILLIAMS, Superintendent of Schools
Eastham, Mass., Jan. 1, 1916.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To Mr. Loring G. Williams,
Superintendent of the Public schools of Orleans, East- ham, Chatham, and Harwich.
It gives me pleasure to submit to you my fourth annual report on the Public school music of Eastham.
The work began favorably and the promise of an excel- lent year is, thus far, being fulfilled.
Throughout the grades, deep breathing, good tone pro- duction, intelligent phrasing, song interpretation, and the cultivation of musical appreciation are among the ultimate aims. The different phases of the work mentioned below, are but some of the means to these ends.
In the Primary school much care has been given to the voices, because many children, who entered in the fall had not learned to move their voices up and down or to match tones. By having them first listen, then sing, afterwards allowing them to sing softly with the other children, and by using other devices for monotones, the majority of voices have been brought up to pitch. The scale, parts of the scale, tone drills for each note, the reading of these from the staff, the ideas, meter, bar, accent, measure, and 2/1, 2/2, 2/4 and 3/4 meters, as well as the practice of marking time with the first finger of the right hand, have been taught. Tone matching, ear training, vocal drills, and rote songs, have occupied more than half of the time.
In the Intermediate school, a thorough review and drill of the work taught in the Primary school, the teaching of sharp four, of the once divided beat, and of the keys through three sharps, and three flats, are some of the points em-
65
phasized. Individual sight singing occupies an important place in these grades.
In the Grammar grades, extensive sight singing, the re- view of the meter signatures, and of the major keys, the pres- entation of the minor scales, and the teaching of certain rhythmic types are features of the work. Two-part singing has an important place now, and later in the year, three-part music will be studied.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
To Mr. Loring G. Williams,
Superintendent of the Public schools of Harwich, East- ham, Chatham, and Orleans :
It is with pleasure that I submit to you my fourth an- nual report on the Public school drawing of this district.
The little people in the Primary schools drew grasses, simple flowering plants, fruits, and vegetables through October, and part of November. The study of the spectrum colors came next, then a landscape which used all of these colors, the designing of a rug by cutting the pattern from folded paper, the construction of a cradle, the making of raffia articles,-a picture frame, a napkin ring, or a mat,- and a Christmas landscape of cut paper are some of the pro- jects which have been carried out.
The use of water-colors in the Intermediate grades, the brush drawing of flowers, fruits, and vegetables, the study of "tint," "standard," and "shade" with reference to color, the painting of an autumnal landscape, the designing of a mat on squared paper, a Thanksgiving card, a napkin ring of raffia, a calendar, and a Christmas card, constitute the work which was taken up during the autumn, and the month of December.
In the Grammar school, shaded pencil drawings and water-color paintings were made of the flowers, leaf sprays, branches of fruit, and vegetables, while in the color study, scales of analagous colors were made. A bon-bon box and place card in one was made for Thanksgiving. The Christ- mas work has been the designing and making of a raffia basket, and the planning of a calendar.
67
The work in design in the free-hand division of the High school drawing, has led, in the first class, to the making of borders and surface designs, and, in the second class, to the designing and making of cut leather bags and tooled leather mats.
So far this year the aims have been :- in the Elementary schools to give training to the eye and to the hand,-to the eye to see, and to the hand to execute, and to aid in the study and appreciation of nature; in the High school, to study decoration, and its application to the home, (to ob- jects of use, to interiors, to textiles, etc.)

REPORT OF AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTOR
Mr. L. G. Williams, Superintendent of Schools :-
Dear Sir: I have the honor to address to you this fourth annual report of the Agricultural Department of Harwich High school.
The work of this department is steadily increasing in practical worth in Harwich, and surrounding towns, as it reaches new sections with larger numbers each year. The school last year graduated three boys, after three years' work. Of these, one has become of age, and has bought land to be used for gardening, and he intends to build there as soon as conditions permit. Another is still working with his father on the home farm, raising poultry, asparagus, and cranberries. The third is at Storrs' Agricultural college.
The work of the pupils at home in 1915 compares favor- ably with that of previous years. We may speak with justifiable satisfaction of our success in the State contests. These prizes are awarded on merit only, and the fact that in the poultry club we won second and eighteenth with thirteen hundred eighty-two competing, would indicate that in this branch of agriculture at least our conditions are not too adverse. Or, if so, we have the courage to overcome them.
The United States Department of Agriculture and Col- lege Extension work we shall endeavor to make a helpful factor in the development of the Community.
Respectfully submitted,
MILTON S. ROSE, Instructor,
