MUSIC.


The Director of Music in the Public Schools hereby pre- sents a short statement of the work done during the past year, and also recommendations for the ensuing year.


In carrying out a carefully arranged plan an endeavor has been made to introduce, as far as possible, individual super- vision and action. With this effort care has been taken in the arrangement and classification of the different voices to obtain the most musical tone and with reference to the proper use and range. This has required constant labor, but the results have been most gratifying.


The advance in reading and musical perception has been fair and the interest in the study has been maintained. The oral test, given in June, was very successful, showing care and confidence in the pupils. A more elaborate, written test was given in December ; the different averages may be seen below. This, I consider, must be improved upon, although I fully appreciate how much easier it is to sing than to pen a musical exercise.


The progressive stages from year to year will help to make a result, especially in the higher grades. The desire must be constantly exercised in this direction, so that all pupils on their graduation may be able to help themselves in every kind of work.


It is to be hoped that such added material may be sup- plied from time to time as to fully supplement the books in general use. It will be seen that such incentives must be furnished to the pupils, so that the zeal and interest may be fully maintained. For this purpose I would recommend the purchase of the second and third books of the Cecilian Series for the grammar grades.


I hereby express my thanks to the teachers for their con-


89


stant aid in my behalf, and can to them attribute largely the successful results hitherto attained.


Respectfully submitted.

I fully endorse the above report. The written examina- tion given in every grade shows in general an excellent theo- retical knowledge of the work ; especially are results of the drill done in the lower schools apparent in the High School.


I would recommend a special appropriation of one hun- dred and fifty dollars for the musical department for the coming year. We cordially invite the parents and friends of the pupils to visit us during the musical hour and judge for themselves of the work.


Respectfully submitted.

DRAWING.


The work in drawing in the public schools in Franklin has met with such hearty interest and co-operation on the part of the School Committee, Superintendent, teachers, and even the children themselves, that its future success seems assured. When I speak of drawing I mean drawing as it is understood in the modern use of the word, including, as it does, the making of objects from card-board, having the


. 12


90


appearance as well as the views of such objects, studying the principles of such elementary type forms as the cube, cylin- der, sphere and hemisphere, representing them, and the com- mon objects based upon them accurately and intelligently.


Ultimately drawing should become a practical means of expression to each child. It should grow to be such a simple method of conveying thought that a girl going to a dressmaker or a boy to a carpenter or tinsmith would be able to plan what he or she may wish done by a few lines. The training of the mind, which is necessary before accuracy and precision of the eye and hand can be attained, supplements all other branches of school work.


This training, however, should not end with the ability to draw truly the objects placed before one in the schoolroom. It should awaken the minds of the pupils to the beauty of the common objects everywhere around them, and especially to the grace of outline of the living creatures on every hand.


Then, too, the perspective of the street, the long line of the horizon, the hillside's curving outline, will awaken a fresh interest with every effort at representing them, and when color is studied as well as form in the Franklin schools-and I trust funds will be forthcoming for that purpose next year-what a world of loveliness will be opened to those who now walk through the world musing !


Respectfully submitted.
