Children are born creators and remain so. I do not be- lieve their native art impulses are killed by the imposition of imitation of adult standards concerned with skill and lit- eral fact. As a result of this belief I have attempted to devel- op and revitalize interest in the basic fundamentals of art. Throughout the grades students are being taught the ele- ments of form, light and shade, perspective, color theory and design. Demonstrations in the uses of various media have been given although the many supporters of "free" expres- sion refuse to demonstrate how to do anything.
I do not believe in confining art activities to scheduled lessons in specified periods. Pupils should use art whenever it is applicable and meaningful in any area within the school program, intergrating it with other fields and extra curri- culars. If children show great enthusiasm for art in the elem- entary grades they will be eager to take additional art courses when given an opportunity to do so in the junior and senior high school. It is only with the help of the class- room teacher that I can hope to accomplish this.
There is in all teaching of art the ever-present necessity of widening one's comprehensions, and the accumulation of knowledge and experience is the surest and most dependable foundation for successful art teaching.
REPORT OF THE INSTRUMENTAL TEACHER
Frederick A. Gricius
This year for the first time, music appreciation classes geared to modern times have been introduced to help your girls and boys in grades four, five, and six to create a great- er appreciation of good music.
World-famous artists-and the Firestone and Telephone Orchestras, under their noted conductors Howard Barlow
147
and Donald Voorhees will present outstanding musical pro- grams especially designed for elementary, junior and high school levels.
Once again over a million young readers in our public schools will have a kind of musical guidance not available since the days of the Walter Damrosch series.
Here is the educational project :
1. Keyboard Junior Magazine for junior and high school level and Young Keyboard Junior Periodicals for the ele- mentary level give background material to be used for pre- liminary study of outstanding radio and television programs. These include composer biographies, listening lessons, cur- rent biographies of guest artists and other valuable infor- mation.
2. Firestone and Telephone Hours then present these compo- sitions performed by their orchestras and by world famous guest artists.
In each elementary school of School Union 19, one teacher has been given the responsibility of directing the music appreciation classes. Mr. Nickerson gladly accepted the task in this new endeavor.
With permission of the school administration granted, an instrumental demonstration was presented in the as- sembly room last September through the courtesy of Gott's Music Store. The demonstration was well received by teachers and students.
The primary purpose of the demonstration was to create more interest among the girls and boys desiring to learn how to play an instrument with an opportunity to use a brand new instrument under the "Return Privilege Rental Plan". This plan has been highly endorsed by many music educators all over the country and by the many parents that have in- vested toward the purchase of an instrument under this plan.
148
Taking part in the demonstration was Mr. Gott who acted as master of ceremonies and explained the brass and percussion instruments, as well as playing the trumpet. Mr. Tourjee explained and played the baritone horn and trom- bone. Mr. Piccolo, our new instrumental teacher, explained the string family and played the violin. Yours truly ex- plained the woodwind family, primarily the clarinet, flute, and saxaphone, and played the clarinet. As a finale, we all played a popular selection "ad lib". Questions regarding the rental plan by interested students followed the demon- stration.
The school department has purchased three medium sized violins for elementary school use, as well as violin methods suited to this age level.
Plans are being made to organize an elementary orches- tra in January as was done the last school year. Grade teachers will teach rhythm band and symphonet classes for the latter part of the school year, thus making time available for an orchestra rehearsal once each week.
My schedule consists of teaching twenty-one instrum- entalists plus two rhythm band and one symphonet class. The following is a list of instruments being taught : 7 violins, 2 clarinets, 6 trumpets, 5 snare-drums and one mellaphone. Practice sessions at home are indispensable to adequate pro- gress, because the children do not have daily supervised in- struction at school that is essential to rapid progress and learning.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Webster Whitney Tileston
One of the Primary Objectives in the field of school music is to provide our boys and girls with musical exper- iences of an enriching and satisfying nature, so as to pro-
149
mote the continued use of music as a means of expression throughout life. In order to achieve this end, I am making every effort to develop programs of musical activities which center around the needs and desires of the pupils.
As it comes time to write another report on Vocal Music in the schools of Union 19, I am filled with conflicting emo- tions : on the one hand the realization that the love and re- sponse to music has continued to progress and develop from the grades through high school. Enthusiasm is the keynote, and the fact that the choruses of two of our three high schools have grown this year to well over a hundred mem- bers each, leads me to feel that the seeds of musical interest planted in the grades are definitely beginning to bear fruit. On the other hand, there is the realization and knowledge that far too little can be accomplished in the line of public performance by our musical groups due to the comparatively short time allotted for music to each class.
Music is a great source of enjoyment in our living. It is for those of us in the field of music education to guide our boys and girls in exploring the many avenues of music so as to find for themselves a new means of expression, and one of the most rewarding and satisfying avenues of musical enjoyment comes from group performance.
Boys and girls who participate in our school music groups, whether it be the regular class work in the grades, or choirs, glee clubs and choruses, naturally wish to exper- ience what they consider to be a successful performance of the music which they rehearse and prepare for the teacher, the supervisor, or for general public enjoyment. Successful performance inspires a healthy attitude and is conducive to individual, as well as group progress. It is a common belief that the enjoyment we derive from an activity depends upon the degree to which we pursue this activity, and the attitudes we develop as a result of our experience.
Obviously, to use music as a means of expression, each
150
child must develop a degree of musical proficiency in order to "speak the language" as it were, and opportunities should therefore be offered to nurture the musical growth of the individual and promote continuous enjoyment thru satisfy- ing performance of good music. We supervisors are doing our best to bring this about.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Lysander S. Kemp, M. D.
The general health of the children continues to be good and many of the minor defects noted in the last report have been corrected, usually through the family physician.
We did have an epidemic of colds in February which necessitated closing of the school for three days.
Sight and hearing tests are now being given by the school nurse and the dentist is scheduled to complete his work early in the school year.
The playground is so well supervised that accidents are rare and of a very minor nature and no case required the services of the school physician.
The cooperation of the principal, teachers and school nurse is excellent and they are a very efficient team devoted to and capable of maintaining the high scholastic and phy- sical standards of the pupils.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOOL NURSE Jean W. Putnam, R. N.
The physical examinations of 1953 were completed early during the last school year. The boys and girls were found
151
in excellent health and they seem to enjoy working toward better standards of health and hygiene along with the guid- ance of their teachers.
Because of an increasing number of absentees during the early part of February, it was necessary to close the school for three days in an attempt to check the spread of Upper Respiratory Infections.
In March, Dr. Fred Moore, the county health officer administered booster doses of tetanus and diptheria to 1st grade children requiring it.
Once again the dental hygienist administered fluorine to the teeth of 7-10-13 year olds whose parents gave their permission. We were very pleased with the response to this program.
Dr. Dana has been our new school dentist this year. The attendance at the clinic was so great that he was unable to complete his work in the originally scheduled time and we are expecting him to return and complete the work before January.
The audiometer test has been given this fall and follow- up work is being done at present ..
It is unfortunate that we still do not own our own vision equipment here in Eastham. Without it we are unable to give the children the care they should have throughout the year. However, the test will be given shortly and parents will be notified of any failures.
It is encouraging to know how many parents are in- terested in our health program. My daily visit to the school commences at 9 A.M. and any parent wishing to contact me may do so at this time. We have had a very successful health year; with the cooperation of the parents, teachers, and pu- pils we are looking forward to another one.
