Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Eastham :
Herewith I submit my sixth annual report as Superin- tendent of Schools for Eastham ..
The past school year has been one of continued growth and interest. Fortunately the same teachers remain with us. An excellent teacher is a force most potent in the classroom. The Eastham school is actively employed in the process of learning. Mr. Otto Nickerson, Mrs. Virginia Horton and Miss Florence Keith are making their contribu- tion toward this end. Individually each is an excellent teacher. Collectively they constitute a very fine faculty. This faculty seems to be supported by homes characterized by understanding and co-operation. The inspiration of good homes and good teachers goes a long way in making a school of high ideals and worthy attainment.
During the year some excellent new books have been purchased. We now have our grades well equipped with mathematics texts, language texts and a good start has been made in introducing a new geography series. It has been the policy gradually to replace books which are old and somewhat out of date. As the older books wear out we have gradually introduced more recent texts of a high quality. Thus we now have the "Open Door Language Series" in grades four to eight inclusive. The "New Day Arithmetic" has replaced the older texts in grades three
101
to six while a "Junior High School Mathematics" text by Hart is used in grades seven and eight. The new geogra- phy series by Atwood-Thomas has been introduced and in about one more year will have replaced the older books. It is our aim to keep our instructional reading up to date without discarding material of useful nature.
The work in art, instrumental and vocal music has con- tinued to show most satisfying results under the guidance of special supervisors and teachers of those subjects.
Mr. Greeley's classes are showing the results of another year of his valuable instruction. His objectives are well marked and the work progresses steadily.
Miss Patch has developed the rote singing in first and second grades. The little "choir" selected to sing before the class group varies from time to time but the pleasure and profit is apparent in all. Note reading, part singing and folk-song memorization are progressively taught in other grades. Miss Patch welcomes opportunity for her young people to sing in public as occasion offers. The ex- perience is good for the children and it is pleasing to the audience.
The orchestra work has taken an even greater stride since Mr. Nassi discontinued the lesson charge of twenty- five cents per pupil. Mr. Nickerson terms it a most out- standing piece of work. Mr. Nassi reports that eighty-six of the children are studying some instrument. Eighty-six instrumental pupils in a school of ninety-seven, nearly ninety per cent of the school is enrolled for instrumental music! This is indeed quite an unusual showing. Mr. Nickerson hopes to see a further increase in the percent-
102
age of pupils in these classes next year. He hopes by growth of the musical loan fund to procure more instru- ments for those who can use them. It should be noted that the proceeds of the music programs are used to supplement this fund.
Dr. Goff and Miss Armstrong have continued to lend their help toward the goal of general good health. The continuing program of clinics for service with toxin-anti- toxin, vaccination, T. B. Examinations, dental clinics and efforts to relieve difficulties of vision, or of hearing is very helpful to the individual and to the school.
If the movement now on foot to erect a new school building should terminate successfully such a result would promote school progress a very great deal.
With an excellent group of teachers, and a real pro- gressive program housed in a modern building this school will be one of which all may well be proud.
It is a pleasure to be able to render such a favorable report on the year's activities and the outlook ahead in Eastham School.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. PRATT.
