REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir :- I herewith submit my second annual report of drawing as carried on in the schools of Lynnfield.
The work has been carried on much the same as last year, connect- ing it with other subjects and interest whenever possible, especially in the lower grades.
In the first and second grades the principles of drawing have been taught through the making of Dutch, Farming, Indian and Eskimo sand tables, borders or booklets. The Fall work started with color study, drawing and cutting simple shapes and pasting. Lettering was taught by making simple illustrated A B C books in the second grades.
In the third and fourth grades drawing was correlated with the study of Holland, Japan and the Pilgrims by making sand tables, borders or booklets. The Japanese table, with its cherry trees, gardens and lan- terns, was quite realistic, and attracted much attention at the Fair exhibi-
61
tion. Color and design were studied in the Fall and a simple scheme was worked out to enable the children to choose colors that go well together.
In grades five and six music and drawing were correlated by making notebooks and designs for the covers. Lettering and animal drawing were taken up in the spring. Color was studied in the fall by making color scales. In these grades we are spending much of our time in mixing and working with paints. At Christmas time construction work was carried on through making envelopes and calendars for gifts. Plans were made for these, thus learning something about mechanical drawing. It was quite surprising the interest some of the children took in mechanical drawing, and some very neat and careful work was passed in.
In the upper grades making of desks sets for Christmas gifts took the place of bookbinding done last year. Some very attractive sets were made of cardboard and colored paper. This type of work gives the pupils a chance to think out ways of putting things together and neatness and accuracy, two good habits, are necessary. Nature representation was taken up in the spring, drawing, painting and also studying the color combinations found in the spring flowers. One class correlated their drawing with their study of Europe in making a book. Perspective was studied at this time, in order to draw properly the luggage taken on our trip to Europe. Color took its important part in our work in the making of a color wheel of the six standard colors and their intermediates, and painting scales of values of different colors.
This month our attention has been given to figure drawing. Studying the different proportions of the body, drawing the action lines and build- ing up the figure from these. Some of the children are quite clever in this line of work and turned out some real looking people skiing down hill.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the superintendent, principals and teachers for their. interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, ABBIE U. CRAGG, Supervisor of Drawing.

Number of home visits made for defective causes, 35.
Many defects of a correctable nature are still evident. Parents are urged to co-operate with the School Nurse and consult their family physician, with the idea of having defects corrected.
DENTAL WORK
The Lynnfield Centre and South Lynnfield American Red Cross branches, with the Parent-Teacher Association, aided the schools in dental work last year. Dr. Potter, of Wakefield, made thorough dental examin- ations of all children in both schools. Notices were sent to all parents having children with defective teeth. Most of the corrections were made before the close of the school year and only a few asked to have the work taken care of through the school clinic. Dental work is in progress again this year with the same organization furnishing the necessary funds for examinations and cleanings. This year the work is being done by Miss Ethel Haley, the Dental Hygienist, secured by the School Department.
Miss Haley does no extracting or filling, but refers these cases to the family dentist. Her work is confined to the cleaning of the teeth and talks to the children on the necessity of giving the best of care to their teeth.
PRE-SCHOOL CLINIC
Last year the Massachusetts Department of Public Health held a Pre-School clinic at Lynnfield open to all children of pre-school age. This clinic proved to be very beneficial as all the children had a physical
63
examination and the defects found were explained to the mothers at that time. As a result of this examination the children entering school in September were in better physical condition as most of their defects had been corrected during the summer months.
All were vaccinated or had a certificate from some physician advising the individual that his or her physical condition did not permit vacci- nation at that time.
POSTURE
Considerable work was accomplished last year in encouraging the children to maintain good posture in sitting, standing, and walking. Pins were given to pupils having the best posture and to a few who tried to correct their careless habits of sitting or standing. Pupils in Lynnfield receiving pins were as follows:
Ireta Russell
Ruth Griffin
Lois Huff
Barbara Thomas
Catherine Kelleher
Jeanette Gilbo
Ivy Frost
Lawrence Lamont
Willard Olmsted
James McDavitt

HEALTH PROGRAM
A course of study in Health Education is given to each grade during the school year. The course consists of Lectures on Posture, Safety First, Cleanliness, Health Habits, and Fresh Air. We carry on a general in- spection of each individual for cleanliness. This is done daily by the teachers and weekly by the nurse. All children are weighed and meas- ured two or three times a year. Those found to be under-weight are checked up each month and advised to make more of an effort to gain.
In closing I wish to thank the parents, teachers, School Committee, and Superintendent for their co-operation in maintaining the health work throughout the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R. N., School Nurse.

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir : During the past year the method of music teaching has been similar to that of previous years.
The teachings of rote songs, elimination of monotones, developing a finer sense of rhythm through the use of singing games, and folk dances. The last six months of the first year the children are taught to recognize- phrase repetition. The sol-far syllables are also taught as a final verse to rote songs.
The second grade work is carried on along similar lines. In this grade the books are put in the children's hands and note reading from the books is developed with less rote song singing. Ear training is emphasized more during this year.
Less rote singing, more note reading and ear training is the main study of grades three and four. Two and three-part songs are introduced in the fifth and sixth grades.
In the seventh and eighth grades two and three-part songs as well as unison songs are studied.
A course in "Music Appreciation" has been added to the curriculum and the results have been most gratifying.
Twenty-five compositions of the finest type and representing the best composers are studied and memorized during the school year. An elimination contest is held in each town of the Union, at the end of the school year. The six pupils having the highest per cent are eligible to represent their schools in the final contest between the towns and Manchester.
The final contest took place in Hamilton this year, Hamilton Junior High winning the banner for a year.
The compositions selected for the coming contest are :
Angelus Massenet

Largo al factotum (Barber of Seville) .. Rossini

"It is hard to discover a better method of education than that which experience of so many ages has evolved; and this may be summed up as consisted "In gymnastics for the body and music for the soul."
-Edgar Allen Poe.
I take this opportunity to thank the Superintendent and teachers for their hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitted, MAUDE L. THOMAS,
Supervisor of Music.
