In each of the four towns we had at least one exhibition. All grades have been represented in exhibitions and as many children as possible saw some of their work displayed."
Those who have attended the assembly programs and the public entertainments must have noted the prominence of music on such occasions. Miss Kelman is doing excellent work as shown by results. She outlines her objectives rather carefully as follows :
(98)
"In all our grades we strive to cultivate a deep and lasting love for music. This is attained through singing many beautiful songs, through listening to music, and participa- tion in rhythm activity. In the first grade the children may learn as many as 100 rote songs throughout the school year. These songs pertain to everyday experiences in the home, school and community, special occasions and seasons. Lis- tening and rhythm are tied together. The children listen to a march, then act it out. Emphasis is laid, also, upon recogni- tion of songs. Individual attention is given to all so-called monotones. In nearly every case the child can sooner or later be taught to use his voice correctly.
This same program extends into the second grade with the addition of some note-reading. This is carried further in the third grade. Simple rudimentary notation such as find- ing "do" with sharps and flats, time value of notes, and clapping the rhythm are also begun in the third grade. In the fourth grade not only the meaning of key signatures but the meaning of time signatures is understood. By this time, the pupils are able to read notes by themselves with accu- racy. Harmony is first experienced here through the singing of rounds and two-part songs-the teacher singing the alto.
In the fifth and sixth grades the technique of musical notation gradually becomes more advanced. Expression marks are studied, also the names of various keys and how to find them. The children themselves sing alto and soprano in the fifth grade. In the sixth grade three-part music is sung with great interest. To bridge the gap between the seventh and sixth grades the reading of syllables is replaced by sight-reading the words. This tends to stimulate interest.
Every four or five weeks throughout the year in these six grades the children have the pleasure of listening to ree-
(99)
ords on the victrola. Some of these records suggest a rhythm activity and others are played for the sheer joy of the listen- er.
Many extra songs are learned especially for assembly programs in the first six grades.
The seventh and eighth grades have been very fortu- nate this year since they have a new set of books. They are Highways and Byways, written especially for adolescent boys and girls. Appreciation, beauty, humor, dignity are all cleverly combined to make this book already a favorite with these two grades and a great joy to the teacher. The bass part is introduced in the eighth grade as voices are found to carry it. Two parts are nicely sung in both seventh and eighth grades and the repertoire of memory songs is en- larged."
Instrumental music from most elementary beginning on through to orchestra, band and adult music contacts contin- ues to be an opportunity for all the children of Eastham. Mr. and Mrs. Nassi continue to devote to this work one-half day during each school week and frequent evenings and af- ternoons as long as their services can be profitable.
From his intimate contact and wide experience le has this to say :
"Eastham has the distinction of having one of the finest grammar school orchestras. The string section is especially good. Mr. Nickerson is giving the young players every op- portunity to play in public. Mrs. Horton is doing a great deal to help her pupils select an instrument and encourages them in every way possible. The Eastham school is fortunate in having so many instruments belonging to the school so
(100)
that pupils that are unable to buy an instrument may use those belonging to the school. Miss Verrill is doing very good work with the bugle and drum corps. Every child in her grades is taking up either the drum or bugle and through the medium of these instruments they are obtain- ing a foundation in music.
The Eastham instrumental classes are as follows :
Drum and Bugle Corps 16
Beginners on other instruments 6
Band 14
Orchestra 25
Changes of law have increased the duties of the Super- visor of Attendance. He now issues work permits and news- boys' badges. As Supervisor of Attendance he should be concerned with all factors which influence school attendance. He should work in close cooperation with the department of health, the home, the school and, if need be, with the de- partment of welfare. His purpose is to help remove all obsta- cles which tend to prevent a pupil from enjoying a fair chance at school. The term "truant officer" suggested puni- tive measures as predominant in his duty. The Supervisor of Attendance may and should administer justice if necessary but his is particularly the role of the children's "friend in court."
Thanks are due to the Community Service Committee of the Grange for the gift of swings installed on the school playground. The efforts of those who are giving their time to 4-H Club work in the school is also appreciated.
The year 1940 has been reasonably happy and prosper-
(101)
ous for the school and its pupils. This is a broad statement which could not be made without generous support and co- operation of many people. This cooperation I am happy to acknowledge. It is my earnest hope that peace and confi- dence may continue during 1941.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. PRATT Superintendent of Schools
