"Massachusetts has been comparatively fortunate so far this: year with only twelve cases and two deaths from smallpox. By en- forcing the compulsory vaccination of school children and encourag- ing unvaccinated adults to be vaccinated we can keep out the disease. As the proportion of unvaccinated in your community increases so does the danger from a smallpox outbreak. If one of these men from Canada had come into your community in search of work what would have happened?"
The first of January a system of daily health inspection was in- troduced into the schools through the sixth grade. Daily morning inspection is carried on in regard to teeth, hands, face, nails, open windows, hours of sleep, etc. In this way, children are trained to give thought to these habits themselves. £ We need the co-operation of parents in keeping the percentage of defects down to a minimum.
Many defects of a correctable nature are yet evident. Parents are urged to consult their family physician, or the school nurse with the idea of having these defects corrected.

REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools: Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my second annual report.
My drawing course has again this year been carried out along" definite lines with a definite aim in view as last year.
My objective in teaching art in the schools is to teach the pupils to use drawing as a means of expressing themselves freely, to im- prove house decorations, and dress, and to appreciate the beauty in the forms and color in nature and art. This may be accomplished by the following course of work:
-
"Representation" includes the drawing of pictures, perspective, the study of the human figure, animal drawing, and nature drawing. Under this subject several drawings from nature have been made. In grades one and two the "Mother Goose Rhymes" and the "Three Bear Story" have been fully illustrated. In grades three and four the drawing has been correlated with reading on the study of Hol-
land. Grades four, five and six have done somewhat the same kind of work only on Japan. The drawings have covered many of the outstanding characteristics of those countries. In nearly every grade this has been extremely successful.
59
Among the upper classes from grade six through the seventh and eighth grades there has been a more definite study of the figure. They have made outline drawings, and also many silhouettes in ink of different poses. Several lessons were spent on the drawing of just the head showing a variety of facial expressions and many styles of hair dressing.
There is always a great demand for posters in my work. Last Spring the sixth grades drew "Safety First" posters, and the three best ones were sent in to the State contest. Some on health have been started in grade five, and an advertising poster on travel which includes much practise on lettering, in the seventh and eighth grades.
"Design is the next subject under my work. This is just being started for this year. Upon reviewing what had been covered last year, I was surprised to find how much the boys and girls had re- membered. There is much to learn about the laws of order, color theory, and geometric shapes. After these are thoroughly under- stood, the child has a clear knowledge to develop a design worth using. Some have already been accomplished.
"Construction" is the third and last branch under my work. It develops creative ability, hand skill, and accuracy ín following direc- tions. There is much opportunity during the special days, such as Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Christmas for construction work. At Thanksgiving time Indian symbols were constructed and some of the material was used for sand tables picturing an Indian village. In one room, where they were studying Japan, a very interesting sand table on that country was constructed. £ Much of the Christmas work comes under this heading. At that time several window, tree, and room decorations were made, also place cards, calendars and Santa Claus drawings.
Summing up the year's work I wish to extend my sincere thanks to teachers, pupils and school officials for their co-operation and ac- tivity in making my work very interesting.
Respectfully submitted, Madeleine S. Hopkins
REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools: Dear Sir:
Musical art is the idealized art of the inner man as distinguished from the arts of painting and sculpture and their like which are the idealized expression of what is outside him. In all probability it precedes spoken language, for music is primarily the expression of definite emotions; articulate language is the expression of a definite thought and in the process of evolution emotion precedes thought.
CO
Music should take its place in every school as a daily exercise, to develop in every child a means of self expression, to give to every child an acquaintance with such a repertoire of music as may assist in forming a cultural background comparable to that gained in lit- erature through the study of English and, as far as may be possible, an acquaintance with the signs and symbols used in printed music.
During the first year of school rote singing and elimination of monotones is the important work to be covered. In the second and third grades continuation of rote singing and the introduction of note reading from the board, flash cards and music readers is taken up. Technical steps are also introduced in these grades such as finding "do" with sharps or flats in the signature.
Technical work and note reading is carried on through the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Two part singing is started in the fifth and three part in the sixth. In the seventh and eighth grades we con- tinue part work using more difficult music, trying to broaden the child's repertoire with songs they should know to take an active part in community and church work.
Folk Dancing is being carried on with success but lack of time to be devoted to this work limits the number of dances that can be taught. It is my purpose to teach a few well rather than to teach several.
Another Victrola is needed at the South School. It is possible that some interested citizen may have a Victrola to loan or, better, give to the school. A loan or gift of suitable records are always ap- preciated for use with the classes in music. The piano at the South School is not satisfactory and might well be replaced by one more suitable.
During the next year it is hoped to do some work in music ap- preciation in so far as time will permit.
I feel there has been a marked improvement in the music through- out the schools this past year and I am confident that a greater ad- vancement will be seen later on.
"Music is the universal language of mankind."-Longfellow.
I take this opportunity to thank the superintendent and teachers for their hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitteď.
Maude L. Thomas,
Supervisor of Music.

Pupils are admitted to this grade only during the first two weeks of school in September unless they have attended in some other town.
VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccina- tion. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the Sum- mer vacation as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be pre- sented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
