Mr. R. H. Williams,
Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :-
Herewith I submit my sixth annual report.
January, February and March were devoted to object drawing. In the lower grades we emphasized the study of proportion first of flat surfaces, then of objects of three dimen- sions. In the upper grades we studied the appearance of circles at different levels and of retreating surfaces and edges. The faculty of being able to express one's thoughts rapidly on paper is of unestimable value and I know of no part of the course in drawing which helps more to this end than object drawing.
April, May and June were devoted to the making and applying of designs. At the South School we made designs to be worked in cross-stitch on table runners of brown linen. Most of the children brought the linen and worked the designs upon it. In this way they were made to feel the practicability of drawing. The Centre School children received instruction along this line at noon from Mrs. Young, which I consider of invaluable help to them.
September and October were spent in nature drawing in pencil, crayon and water-color.
November and December were devoted to construction work which called for much careful planning and thinking on the part of the child. It also necessitated accuracy and neat- ness, for who would want to give away for Christmas, a box, calendar or candle shade which is untidy or put together inaccruately? At the Centre School the primary children were in need of boxes in which to keep their crayons. Therefore, the grammar grade children decided upon the size needed and made working drawings for the box and the cover, which, of course, had to fit snugly but not too tightly. They then constructed the box. This necessitated a great deal of care. The boxes were made as durable as possible by strengthening the corners
(52)
with cloth. On the whole we were much pleased with the results.
I wish to thank the committee, superintendent and teachers for their help and co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
AMY L. BUTTERFIELD, Supervisor of Drawing
