REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools,


Dear Sir:


I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of Music.


The regular method of Voice Culture, Sight-Reading and Interpreta- tion has been followed as in previous years.


We are also continuing to emphasize Music Appreciation through all


54


the grades and striving to develop a permanent course. The third case' of records have been purchased that we may further the study in this particular subject.


While the child's inind is plastic it should hear the best in music, both vocal and instrumental, and be taught to listen to it intelligently, correlating it with art, physical education, literature and geography, therefore making it a vital part of his life.


A list of twenty-five selections were carefully chosen for study in the seventh and eighth grades during the year.


Grades five and six have been supplied with new music readers which are also used in connection with the music appreciation study.


Much interest was shown in the graduation held in June. Consid- erable preparation was given to the music for this occasion and was apparently enjoyed by all.


On Parents' Day of Educational Week the grades of the South School specialized in music showing to the visitors how we present our daily lessons, the development of appreciation through the records, and singing.


At Christmas time pupils of the seventh and eighth grades of the Center School presented for the Parent-Teachers' Association a short musical play embodying the "Manger Scene."


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.

REPORT OF DRAWING SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools:


Dear Sir:


I herewith submit my annual report as Supervisor of Drawing.


The drawing course has been continued along the general lines as. followed in preceding years, with an effort to make it of more educa- tional value.


Much of the value of art education in schools lies in the forming of habits of exactness and neatness. The importance to industry, of pride in good workmanship, cannot be overlooked. In all our grades we have problems in construction, paper-cutting, folding and use of ruler-measurements which emphasize this side of art-instruction. I have put special emphasis the past year on measuring. I feel that it is important. and we cannot start too early in the grades to lay stress on the use of the ruler and accuracy. In the seventh and eighth grades. construction work included the making of folders to hold their work and a photograph album for a Christmas project.


An endeavor has been made the past year to keep our room decora- tions, such as borders and sand-table work as educational as possible, at the same time adding a great deal of appreciation and stimulation to the project. History and geography are also correlated closely through the making of booklets, illustrative and cut-out posters. As usual a great deal of attention has been given in the fifth and sixth ' grades to water-color work and color study.


Pupils of the seventh and eighth grades again entered the poster competition sponsored by the Massachusetts S. P. C. A. and received the following rewards:


Large Medal (1st) :


Eunice Pelly, Edith Doremus.


Honorable Mention:


Andrew Mansfield, Edith Grant, John Cromidas.


Better results can be noted in the poster work each year and we feel quite honored in receiving two large medals as we were the only town in the district receiving any. In addition to this contest, a few ·

health posters were sent to the annual state-wide contest conducted by the Massachusetts Anti-Tuberculosis League.


In closing I wish to express my appreciation to the Superintendent, School Committee and teachers for their interest and co-operation. Respectfully submitted, ABBIE U. CRAGG, Supervisor of Drawing.

HEALTH PROGRAM


The Health Program consists of general inspection once a week for cleanliness, home visits, weighing and measuring of all pupils three times a year. (Underweights and Reactors to Von Pirquet test are weighed once a month.) Talks are given on safety, baths, warm lunches, care of teeth, clean heads, proper rest, etc., clerical work on physical health cards, checking up diseases, defects and corrections made, arranging clinics, and assisting doctors at special clinics.


STATE CLINIC


This year the State Department of Public Health, Division of Tuber- culosis, made a general survey throughout our schools. All parents were notified and invited to attend the clinic with their children. The clinic consisted of a thorough physical examination, Von Pirquet test, and those reacting to test, having X-rays of chest. Dr. Sacs and Dr. Martin were in charge of clinic. Children were examined and given test with parents' written consent.

DENTAL WORK


As we have no dental clinic the corrective work accomplished on defective teeth is taken care of by the individual parent. The condi-


61


tion of the teeth on an average is not very good as can be seen from the report given by Dr. Montague at the time of the physical examination.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN


January 1, 1929.


To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:


The Selectmen met and organized March 5th, 1928. Frank C. Newhall, Chairman; Andrew Mansfield, Secretary; and Ralph E. Cox.


Appointments to different departments were made March 19th, 1928. The nuisance caused by the piggery located off the turnpike was taken care of by the court ordering the owner to vacate the premises.


The committee room in the Town Hall was turned over to The American Legion, Post 131, April 2nd, 1928. The Post have decorated the room with pictures and war trophies which make the room very attractive.


The Mahoney Chair Company of Gardner, Mass., was given the or- der for 100 chairs and necessary clamps and thresholds.


One application was received for victuallers' and Sunday licenses. These licenses were to be used at a building on land of James W. Harvey, next to the church. These licenses were refused after a public hearing.


The board adopted a set of regulations in regards to the conduct of roadhouses within the town.


A joint meeting of the board and Library Trustees was held to elect a successor to Julius Glasgow, who resigned. George Cornet was chosen to fill the vacancy until the next annual election.


Arthur Bryant was appointed Inspector of Animals, August 6th, 1928, to succeed Walter Gray.


Andrew Mansfield and Rutherford Smith, Town Counsel, attended a hearing at Danvers, in regards to a petition of the Eastern Massachu- setts Electric Company to take by eminent domain such lands or such rights of ways or widenings therefor or other easements therein neces- sary for the construction and use of a line for the transmission of elec- tricity along the route prescribed in the order of this department dated, June 9th, 1927.


The board filed requests for aid in the amount of $10,000.00 from each State and County for continuing the reconstruction of Main St. At the time of writing this report, we have been informed unofficially that both the State and County Commissioners are favorable of contin- uing this work on Main St.


The town bounds were perambulated between the Town of Reading, Wakefield and North Reading.


By the death of Mr. Andrew Mansfield, Secretary of the Board of Selectmen on December 18th, 1928, the town lost a most able and up- right citizen and town official. Mr. Mansfield was very active and sin- cere in the performance of his duties, always working for the welfare and future of the town.


By the death of Mr. Oscar E. Phillips, Town Clerk and Accountant,


63


on January 4th, 1929, the town also lost another most able and upright citizen and town official. Mr. Phillips, who had served the town as clerk and accountant for many years will be much missed by all. He had attained much knowledge through his many years of service, that was of great benefit to his fellow officials cf the town. At the time of his death, Mr. Phillips' accountant books were in excellent condition, every account having been posted and balances taken off.


We, the remaining members of the Board of Selectmen, recognize our indebtedness to them and take this opportunity to inscribe in the records our acknowledgment of their value.


Respectfully submitted, RALPH E. COX, (Acting Secretary.)
