Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Eastham:
Herewith I submit the annual school report for 1936.
The year has been an eventful one for the school of Eastham. We were all inspired when the town decided by unanimous vote at the last town meeting to erect a new building. During the progress of construction we have seen evidence that our hopes were well justified. Now that the building is practically complete and nearly ready for occu- pancy we know that ours is the opportunity to prove by use that the investment is justified.
This opportunity with the attending responsibility constitutes a challenge. I feel sure that we shall watch the growth of the school with real pride.
Class work in each of the three school rooms has con- tinued on the same high quality. During the fall the teach- ers have co-operated with others of the Union by meeting regularly to work on a revision of the arithmetic course of study. This is a rather important and somewhat for- midable undertaking and we hope to have definite recom- mendations to submit to the School Committee for approv- al a little later in the year.
Mr. Nickerson has continued to stimulate the interest of his pupils in reading good books. The short time spent each week during school hours is followed by the contribu- tion of considerable time outside of school. This is a kind
99
of co-operation between the school, library and home which is very happy and very valuable.
The achievements of the school in the arts have been quite outstanding. The teachers and the supervisor of each subject share enthusiasm with the pupils. Each attributes success to the help of the other, thereby attaining a goal most creditable to all.
Mr. Nassi calls our attention to an attendance in instru- mental music classes as follows :
On October first, the enrollment of the school was 97. Mr. Nassi reports "an advanced orchestra of 24, a band of 23, an elementary orchestra of 19, a beginners class of 16, and a flageolet class of 15." This is a record which is in- deed most unusual. The Eastham school played an import- ant part in the success of the Monomauset orchestra which attained the highest rating at the Massachusetts Music Contest at Haverhill and the New England Contest at Port- land last spring. Pupils are also represented in the Junior Community Band and Philharmonic Society.
Miss Patch has the vocal music well organized and at- tractively presented. Rote songs are taught in the first and second grades. Note reading is introduced in the last half of the second grade and practiced in grade three. Two part music begins in grade four and some three parts are taught in grade six. Grades six, seven and eight study the lives of great composers and at least one work of each, which distinguishes him from all others. They learn to appreciate good music by more attentive and intelligent understand- ing of selections heard on the radio.
100
Results of excellent instruction in art are shown by the display of work in each room and in an occasional public exhibit. The work covered by each grade is well planned and outlined with standards and objectives in construction, design, representation and color. The upper grades place increasing emphasis on perspective and proposition with the sketching of objects and architecture. The work in the art department has made very creditable growth under Mr. Greeley's guidance.
Dr. Goff as school physician reports health conditions to be quite satisfactory.
A statistical report of activities of the school nurse and the various clinics as submitted by Miss Armstrong is shown below.

I have been pleased to note the organization of some school clubs with much interest in metal craft. These club activities are very attractive and have many possibilities of educational and cultural value. In the new building there should be a chance for more of this sort of organization.
We may well be cheered by what has been accomplish- ed in 1936. We look forward to the coming year with greater hope. Such interest and constructive effort toward a better and thoroughly modern school should surely bring results.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. PRATT,
Superintendent of Schools.
