VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be ad- mitted to school in September unless they present certificates from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the summer vacation, as certificates of exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.

All withdrawals have been by pupils who have left to enter other schools. We have a right to be proud of our registration. In ten towns about the same size as Hamilton only eighteen percent of the total school population is found in the high school. In Hamilton twenty-two percent of our school popu- lation is found in grades nine to twelve.
During the year 1926-1927 there were 171 students in school, we graduated a class of 17, and the number that entered college or other higher institutions of learning was nine. It is a very commendable thing to have more than 50 percent of the graduating class continue their education beyond the high school. The number of students attending college has
23
SCHOOL REPORT
increased from one each in years 1922 and 1923, to five in 1927. The school keeps up with the character of work these students do in the various institutions which they attend. These records show that during the past five years less than eight percent were reported as failing in their college work, while sixteen percent were reported as doing excellent work. When ninety-two percent of our graduates who have entered higher institutions are succeeding, the percentage of failures is certainly very low, and this is especially noticeable when. compared with similar statistics from other schools.
The appointment of a full-time teacher to take charge of the work in domestic science has made possible certain re- arrangements in the schedule. Vocal music, which was dis- continued in the senior high school several years ago, has been restored to the course of study. An elective course in myth- ology enables college students to familiarize themselves with the classic myths. In seasonable weather physical training has been put on a supervised play basis. As I pointed out in my re- port last year, indoor athletic games are impossible, due to lack of proper floor space. It is necessary, therefore, to substitute a short period of setting-up drills during the winter months. These are not as effective or as interesting as keenly competitive games for the majority of children. It has been impossible to do our best in physical education because of the lack of room.
The establishment of a good working library is a matter too important to be forgotten and the school department has been steadily enlarging our supply of books for this purpose. Let me say that it is not intended to try to compete with the town library. The latter, however, cannot supply many books of the particular kind required in the high school library, and the collection now being gotten together seeks to provide neces- sary collateral material, especially in English, literature, and
24
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
history. We need a room for our library where pupils may read and study before and after school as well as during school hours. Half of each day the room now used for study, where our library books are located, is used as a recitation room. This make it difficult for pupils to study properly as well as make the best use of the available reference books.
I have every reason to believe that good conscientious work is being done in the junior-senior high school. The results are not always as nearly perfect as we wish for, as much depends on the pupil. From kindergarten to university he will, under reasonable conditions, take out what he puts in. In order to take out a mind developed to its reasonable capacity, he must put in punctual and regular attendance, attention and perseveringly hard work. No child can saunter nonchal- antly through school, deigning to give it little interest and less effort, and think he is doing justice to himself, his parents, or the community. A certain amount of interest and effort may be commanded inside the schoolroom walls; but it remains now, as it always has, here and everywhere, for the parents to insist that their children prepare well whatever home lessons are required and to support by their own interest and authority the work which the teachers are seeking to perform.
Our school has more than its share of good teachers; in earnestness, in devotion to their work, and in a high desire to achieve real results, our teaching corps deserves well of the community. They ask, wisely and justly, the generous co- operation of parents. In the long run, the interest of parents and teachers are identical, for each is seeking the child's wel- fare and advancement.
In conclusion. I wish to express my appreciation of the admirable spirit of co-operation with which I have been met by the teaching corps, school board, and by the superintendent,
25

whose sympathetic understanding of the many-sided problems of a school principal has been unfailing and whose confidence has been generously and frequently shown.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir: I herewith submit my third annual report of drawing.
The aims in the drawing course are to develop the power in pupils to express themselves through drawing, to cultivate an appreciation for beauty in form and color, and to train them to use good taste in the furnishings of life.
No change has been made in the general program as fol- lowed last year. An effort is made to outline the work to meet the needs of varying stages of development, correlating drawing with other subjects, with the holidays and seasons, and the special study or interest of any group.
The lower grade work consists mostly in constructing sand-tables and making simple borders for the rooms, all of which is closely related to their studies and interest. The third and fourth grade drawing is closely correlated with the geography and history. In the fifth grade a great deal of attention is given to using water-color as a medium of ex- pression. Following the plan of the past two years, the sixth grade work is correlated with the study of Ancient History.
A number of lessons in the junior and senior high classes have been devoted to poster work. Posters play an important part in the commercial world, and good posters should be encour- aged in every way. This sort of work also makes practical use of lessons in lettering. freehand drawing, and arrangement. Several of our posters were entered in the contest held under the auspices of the Essex County Health Association at Beverly, when several were exhibited with a group, receiving honorable inention.
27
SCHOOL REPORT
Posters were also entered in the contest held by the Massa- chusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and we were pleased to receive the following awards :
Small Medal (2nd) :
Robert Robertson, 3rd. William Smith.
Honorable Mention :
Beatrice Edmonson, Barkley Tree.
In the high school drawing, along with regular class work and poster work, time was given to making useful Christmas presents. The girls enjoyed painting doorstops with oil paint and were more than surprised to learn how cheaply they could do them. They also framed some of their water-color pictures, thus learning a little about picture framing.
An exhibit of our regular school work and posters was held in co-operation with other schools at the annual Topsfield Fair last September.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to the super- intendent, principal, teachers and pupils for their interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ABBIE U. CRAGG,
Supervisor of Drawing.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir: I herewith submit my annual report as Super- visor of Music.
During the past year the method of teaching music has been like that of the previous years, with more emphasis on tone quality and part work.
One of the greatest projects that has been developed the past few years along with the regular instruction in singing, is the course in Appreciation of Music.
For the past few years this course was only in seventh and eighth grades, but after much consideration it has been extended, including all grades, even the first. Each building has been furnished with Music Appreciation Records.
Through this work the children are taught the habit of intelligent and cultural listening and they are brought in con- tact with the best in music.
The particular set of records that are in use are the re- sult of careful research, which brings to our boys and girls beautiful and fascinating music of the finest type. The record- ings have been made by the best artists and orchestral accom- paniments by members of the New York Philharmonic Or- chestra.
Each group of selections are within the child's scope of understanding and develop some new idea. They are taught to recognize the tone of each instrument of the orchestra through familiar and unfamiliar songs.
The first six initial songs are: two by soprano voice, two
29
SCHOOL REPORT
by violin, two by trumpet. The following six are rhythmic songs : three by violin, three by trumpet in march and waltz rhythms witlı piano accompaniment.
The next group of selections develop, in addition to the soprano voice, violin, trumpet and piano, the flute, also small orchestral accompaniments. In this manner each instrument is thoroughly studied and grouped together.
Both teachers and pupils have responded with great inter- est and the results have been most gratifying. I earnestly hope we may add to this set each year until the complete course is in use.
This year, in place of a Girls' Glee Club in the High School, we have a general chorus period, making music com- pulsory for all, which is meeting with good results.
A small orchestra has been organized and I am in hopes it may soon be augmented by pupils that are studying privately.
The Music Memory Contest was held in Hamilton again, Manchester winning the banner for one year.
We are again indebted to the Mothers' Club for providing money for prizes in the Music Memory and Notebook Contest. Prizes were awarded to the following: Howard Boyd, Polly Feener, Elizabeth Crowell, Ruth Charles, Elinor Pope, Bar- bara Hobbs, Jack Spear and Harold McDonald.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the superintendent, school committee and teachers for their loyal support and co- operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MAUDE L. THOMAS,
Supervisor of Music.

PRE-SCHOOL EXAMINATION
We hope to continue with pre-school clinics, as by so doing children entering school in the fall may benefit and any found with defects may have the same corrected during the summer months.
The State Department of Public Health, co-operating with the School and Health Departments, intends to hold a special clinic this coming year, examining all children attending school, regardless of age, where permission is secured from the parents. This examination will include a thorough physical examination of the chest, a Von Pirquet test and an X-Ray of those that react to the Von Pirquet test. This is given without cost to parents.
This means that a home visit will be made to each home by the school nurse to secure a history of every child attending school. All parents wishing their children examined will sign a blank giving their consent for the examination.
DENTAL WORK
The school department secured the services of Miss Mar- jorie Linehan, Dental Hygienist, who examined the teeth of all children and did the necessary cleanings. She also gave instructions to the children about caring for their teeth. No- tices were sent all parents of pupils needing fillings or extrac- tions, with the request that they co-operate by having the neces- sary work done by their family dentist.

HEALTH PROGRAM
At the beginning of each school year a general inspection is given all children through the grades. A record of this inspection is kept on file for each child, in the form of a phys- ical health card, thereby enabling the nurse, with the help of the school physician and co-operation of the parents. to rectify any defects found in the individual child. These defects are often the cause of the child's being unable to profit from instruc- tion provided. A report is sent home and the nurse follows up this work with the parents.
Every week throughout the school year general inspection for cleanliness is given. Occasional talks are given in the grades in regard to healthy living and the value of a well bal- anced diet for the growing child. Instruction will be given to
33
SCHOOL REPORT
the older girls in bedside nursing later on in the school year. The course will include bed making; bathing a bed patient ; taking temperature, pulse and respiration; filling and caring for hot-water bags and ice caps, and much other useful infor- mation that will be of value in any home.
This year the School Committee is conducting a campaign for the prevention of Diphtheria. A letter with all the neces- sary facts has been sent to every home, asking all parents to co-operate by reading the facts carefully, then signing the at- tached blank giving consent for the test. "An ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure." We hope for 100 per cent con- sents in Hamilton.
In closing I wish to thank the superintendent, teachers and members of the school committee for their co-operation in main- taining the health work.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R. N.,
School Nurse.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE INSTRUCTOR OF DOMESTIC ARTS
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir: I hereby submit my first annual report of the work of the Domestic Science Department of Hamilton.
First, allow me to congratulate you on the equipment of the Domestic Science room. Although the room is unfortu- nately located, and more equipment, especially a dining suite, is desirable to enable the serving of meals to be taught more advantageously, yet the fundamental equipment we have must have been planned and purchased with thoughtful consideration to quality, quantity and use.
Our aim in presenting the vocational work in our depart- ment is not to make skillful cooks and dressmakers, but to instill in the minds of the students the highest ideals of home- making and to lay as firm a foundation as possible in the me- chanical work, so that the girls will obtain a working knowl- edge of the various occupations pursued in the home, and we hope, will be sufficiently interested to carry her studies into the home right now and become a more helpful member of that home. I am trying to have the girls understand the difference between a "homemaker" and a "housekeeper," and to realize that the sphere of a homemaker is much greater than that of housekeeper.
Keeping these aims in mind, we lay the foundations of this work in the sixth grade, where sewing is offered. Fundamental stitches and their uses are taught as the children make useful articles for the home and for themselves. In the seventh grade we continue this work. The girls are making their cooking
35
SCHOOL REPORT
uniforms now and I hope that they will be able to make a simple cotton dress in the spring.
In the eighth grade we are learning to serve three simple meals. The girls have already served a breakfast, the girl that acts as daughter serving as waitress, as she really should in her home.
The ninth grade girls are continuing their work in cook- ing and are studying more deeply the principles involved in cookery and dietetics.
I hope to devote all of next term in this class to the serv- ing of meals for a family of four. This will make the work more practical and, I hope, greatly increase the interest of the girls in their own home kitchens.
The advanced Clothing Class is making more difficult arti- cles of clothing and is to take up the study of textiles.
I wish the Household Management class could be rechris- tened the Homemaking Class. "Homemaking" includes House- hold Management and infinitely more. No matter how well a household manager may carry out her work, she cannot be in the greatest sense a succes if she has not the real spirit of a "homemaker."
I wish to take this time to thank you, the principal, and all others who have helped me by co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MARION F. WHITNEY,
Instructor in Domestic Arts.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE INSTRUCTOR IN MANUAL ARTS
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report of the year's work in the Manual Arts Department.
In this report I shall endeavor to show the progress of my students through the different grades.
The boys in the sixth grade have proved very adaptable to the work. They are eager to learn, and try hard to do their work properly. The class work consists of simple problems, which give insight into the standards of good workmanship, and training in the use of tools. There is, of course, marked dif- ference in the ability of the individual ; but it is most encour- aging to see the willingness of the class to make every effort to get accurate results.
The seventh grade pupils have retained the training of the previous year, and have progressed well in the course given this year. There is a marked increase in accuracy, as well as a fine development in self-criticism and initiative. The boys have improved in understanding of their ability and show fair judgment in selection of projects. Good-natured competition is evident, and does much to raise the standard of work in the class.
By the time the students have reached the eighth grade they are much more capable of taking directions and producing good results. For this reason they can be allowed to select more difficult problems and the work can be more specialized. The development at this point make the difference in ability more apparent ; so that more individual problems can be used.
37
SCHOOL REPORT
In the higher grades the work in this department is elec- tive and it is possible to allow the students more freedom of selection in their work. At this stage the students should have acquired proficiency in the use of tools and execution of work.
It is not possible in a course of this kind to produce skilled workmen, but the training given should develop clear insight into the meaning of craftsmanship.
Respectfully submitted,
A. F. BEZANSON, Instructor in Manual Arts.
