EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
since there are at present a group of students who can- not perform acceptably in these fields because of inabil- ity to read. The teaching of the technical vocabulary of these other subjects is a great help to pupils.
,
The second most noticeable defect is that of the lack of a literary background. This can be remedied only by furnishing the material for pupils to read. In each school there should be provided reading material of a desirable and worthwhile nature which can be used during li- brary periods. At every opportunity the boys and girls should be encouraged to read these and similar books. The love of good books, when instilled in the minds of our boys and girls, will be a lasting pleasure all through their lives:
I refer you to the report of the principal of the High School and to the reports of the supervisors and nurse for information concerning the activities under their care.
You will find certain statistical reports following this one. They are worth considerable consideration.
I wish to thank you for the teachers and myself for the kindly interest and cooperation which you have shown during the past year.
WILLARD B. SPALDING,
Superintendent of Schools.

High School Principal
January 17, 1935
To the Superintendent of Schools
Mr. Willard B. Spalding :
I present my annual report for the Norwell High and Grammar School for the year 1934.
The course of study has not been altered to any great extent. Trigonometry was given for those who will use it in College Mathematics, and a course in Economics has been added. In addition we are giving a course called "Camp Cooking" for boys, which has been very success- ful. It will doubtless be given in the future. A course in Mechanical drawing is also being given by the art department.
There were twelve members in the graduation class of 1934. The number attending schools or college is smaller than previous years, due doubtless to difficulty in securing funds.
Class seven and eight presented a very enjoyable oper- etta called "Aunt Drusilla's Garden." This operetta which was coached by Miss Minard, was very well re- ceived. The profit from this operetta was divided be- tween the classes to establish class funds.
There was no school play given this year; its place being taken by a Minstrel show coached by Mrs. Stet- son, aided by Mr. Booth, Mrs. Turner and Miss Hurley.
Graduation exercises were much the same as those of the preceding year. The baccalaureate sermon was given June 19 by the Rev. Alfred Wilson. Class Day ex- ercises and banquet with the class of '31 as guests, were held the following Monday. The remainder of the graduation program was very pleasantly carried out.

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
Our athletic record for the past year was as follows: Winners of the South Shore Basketball League, and fourth place in the Baseball League. The girls' team was more successful than the preceding two years. The boys' teams were coached by Mr. Jackman, and the girls' by Miss Heathcote.
Our graduation number of the "Shipbuilder" was pub- lished in June. This was directed by Miss Hurley, aided by the student staff. An edition of this sort is very use- ful and satisfying and will be continued, if possible.
The domestic science department is now in the hands of Miss Jenkins who has replaced Miss Heathcote. Miss Heathcote accepted a position in the Newton school sys- tem. The same schedule is being carried out; which includes the serving of hot lunches to each school.
In the English department, Mr. Allen has replaced Miss Ollendorf, who was unfortunately injured in an automobile accident.
In closing my report I wish to thank every member of the school system for his cooperation and friendliness.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILBROOK DAGGETT.
Norwell Art Department
To the Superintendent of Schools
Mr. Willard Spalding :
The following is my report for the work in the Draw- ing Department of the Norwell schools for 1934.
Exhibitions of drawing were held in the Center Prim- ary School and at the Ridge Hill School in June. This method, which was instituted in 1933, is proving very successful. More parents see their children's work than did formerly when all drawings were exhibited at the High School.
It is a real joy to be able to have so much of the children's work. It also makes me very happy to see parents so interested in their boys' and girls' development in drawing and design. The far-sighted and intelligent parent, as well as today's foremost educators, realize how important the knowledge of art skill and apprecia- tion is to the full development of a well-rounded cultured person.
A course in Elementary Mechanical Drawing was of- fered at the High School for the first time this fall. For several years a few boys have asked for this work, never more than six. However, last spring a group of more than twelve asked that they be given a course in instrumental drawing, offering to buy their own mater- ials. Interest in the course continues and I would rec- ommend that we buy a few drawing boards, triangles and T squares next fall.
The High School classes, beside their regular work in techniques and design, have worked on the following
128
EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
items: Posters for basketball, minstrel show, dances, and wherever an art aid was needed.
In closing I wish to say a word about grade teachers. A program of supervision, to be successful, depends upon the close cooperation between the teacher and su- pervisor. I wish to thank our teachers for their part in making art work in the Norwell schools successful, for their continued loyalty and faith in my program.
Very truly yours,
H. RODMAN BOOTH.
Supervisor of Music
To Mr. Willard Spalding,
Superintendent of Schools :
I submit my annual report of the work in the Music Department of the Norwell Schools.
Educators, psychologists, and the general public are coming to recognize the human need for an inner re- source which music alone of all the arts can give to the greatest number of people.
In the re-evaluation of education, the place of music is secure. It is the one art experience in which all chil- dren can participate.
In American school music, we see an art movement which is vital because of its true democratic instinct and impulsion.
To teach America the achievement of loving music wisely is the ultimate aim of school music.
Last year in grades one, two, and three new material from the "Music Hour" was added. This year the new course is being extended into grades four and five. Al- though the children have not been supplied with books the teachers have copied different songs on the board each week.
These song interpretations, rhythmic response, dram- atizations and folk dancing, toy orchestra, creative work picture study and listening to music are the varied ac- tivities through which real appreciation develops.
The approach of two part singing is through two- part rounds and the introduction to three part music is also prepared for through the singing of three part rounds, an attractive way, which all children love.
Form Nine
130
EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
The Junior High pupils continue three part singing in more difficult songs.
The High School Glee Clubs gave "Swanee Jublilee" in November, and the High School Orchestra furnished music between the acts.
The teachers deserve a great deal of credit for their good conscientious work. I wish also to thank the school officials for their kind interest.
Respectfully submitted,
PANSY B. STETSON.
Home Economics
The course in Home Economics has been planned to give the students practical experience in the everyday arts of the household.
A few changes have been made in the Home Econom- ics curriculum this year. Sewing has been introduced in the sixth grade instead of in the seventh grade. An entirely new field of endeavor has been offered the boys of Norwell High School in a Camp Cookery class. This course includes the preparation of food menu planning, table setting and service, and the duties of a host.
At the first of the year the sixth and seventh grade sewing classes concentrated their efforts on handwork. They made an equipment bag to be used in sewing class also an apron, holder, and head band for their first year cooking class. Stuffed toys were made and used as Christmas gifts. The latter part of the year will be devoted to the care and use of the sewing machine, darning and mending.
The eighth grade foods class has focused its attention on food preparation, menu planning, table setting and serving. Especial stress has been laid upon the prepara- tion of a well balanced meal at a low cost.
The Lunchroom management class has had full charge of preparing and serving the luncheons to the Students of Norwell Schools. This practice gives them an insight into quantity cooking.
The entire Home Economics course has been given to aid the boys and girls of Norwell in their biggest task . . Better living.

School Dentist
January 16, 1935
Board of Health and Superintendent of School, Norwell, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I submit the following figures to show in part, the work of the dental clinic in 1934.
Number of fillings in permanent teeth (Amalgam and Porcelain) 424
Number of fillings in temporary teeth 224
Permanent teeth extracted 11
Temporary teeth extracted
50
Number of cleanings 128

Teeth treated 17
We hope this year to have 100% Dental certificates in each room up to and including the 8th grade.
That the clinic is saving permanent teeth for the children is shown by the number of extractions for the year. Only eleven permanent teeth were lost, and some · of these were extracted for older pupils with crowded arches.
