7. Open-air classes with rest periods and supplementary feed- ing for pre-tuberculars and certain tuberculous children, and children with grave malnutrition. Special classes for children needing some form of special instruction due to physical or mental defect.
8. Nutrition classes for physically subnormal children, and the maintenance of mid-morning lunch or hot noonday meal when neces- sary.
Examination by psychiatrist of all atypical or retarded 9. children.
10. Education of school child in health habits, including hygiene and care of young children.
11. General educational work in health and hygiene, including education of parent and teacher, to secure full co-operation in health program.
It is not too much to hope that the time is not far distant when this entire program can be carried out efficiently in Reading.
The first and most important forward step to take in Reading in health preservation of children is to employ a school nurse and provide a standard examination of each child at least once a year. Systematic physical training for all pupils in the Senior High School should be restored as soon as practicable and provisions for shower baths should be made at the Junior High School for boys and girls and for the girls at the Senior High School. Systematic weighing and measuring of pupils, in all grades, corrective gymnastics for spinal curvature and faulty posture, special class for mentally-re- tarded pupils, and if cases of malnutrition, anemic and pre-tuber- cular conditions are found special feedings, rest and fresh-air treatment should be provided for these. The school physician should be able to devote more time to examinations, but this is not so im- portant at present as the employment of a nurse. Some adequate means of testing children mentally retarded must be provided in order to comply with the state law.
There never was a time when education seemed to be more needed to safeguard our national life. There has not been before in this generation such high hopes of substantial improvements in education, so that its benefits may reach every individual boy and girl up to at least eighteen years of age. If it is to cost more as it surely is, it will be worth more. The question is not so much, can we afford it as can we afford to do without it? There can be but one answer. Public Education is the stabilizer of democratic institutions. Our safety as well as our prosperity and happiness as a people are inseparable from an adequate system of public schools.

REPORT OF INSTRUCTOR IN AGRICULTURE
MR. ADELBERT L. SAFFORD, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS OF READING:
Below is a summary of the work of the agricultural depart- ment of the High School for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1919. I re- spectfully submit this summary for your study.
The department has completed four and one-half years of use- ful work in the community. It is still by far the largest department in the state and its membership has been increased from year to year without solicitation.
The project method of instruction has been held to as in past years not only because of the state requirement in this matter, but also because I believe this method to be the best one to be used in the teaching of any subject; and while it is a physical impossibility to carry out the project method in its most perfect conception in many subjects, agriculture lends itself perfectly to this method of teaching. The real way to learn fundamental principles is to attack those problems of which life is made up. In this way we learn only those things that we will remember and which will be of use to us in our future life.
During the months of January and February of this year the students devoted their attention to farm mechanics. The younger division which made poultry their major project were instructed in the art of constructing poultry houses and equipment. Several fine houses were constructed and are now in use by the student at his home. All materials used were paid for by the students, and only such things as were actually called for by their project were con- structed.
The older division were instructed in gas engine repairing and forging. We were fortunate to be able to secure the services of Mr. O. O. Ordway as instructor for the older division and the work was carried on in his well-equipped shop.
I wish to take this opportunity to express to Mr. Ordway our sincere gratitude for his kindness in giving so much time and inspira- tion to the work with the agricultural boys.
223
The above statement of the work done during the winter months is simply one phase of the farm mechanics' course as planned to cor- relate with the regular four-years' course in agriculture.
Farm mechanics which is a broad term and includes: Farm machines, cement work, metal and leather work, has an enormous bearing on the economics of the farm. A proper knowledge of these things will result in keeping down the overhead expenses.
A course in farm mechanics should not aim to make a skilled workman of the student but rather a skilled tinker. He should learn to judge when to repair a piece of farm apparatus and when to call in a skilled workman. Again, he should be able to judge when to undertake the construction of a new building or piece of equipment and when he should turn the matter over to a specialist. For ex- ample, the over-hauling of a motor should in most cases be left to a skilled garage man. But every farmer should be familiar enough with his truck, or tractor, to make minor adjustments and repairs. The question often arises as to whether the farmer shall buy or make. It would be poor judgment to make a hinge, for instance. The time used in making a hinge would not be justified in the light of the slight cost of the factory-made article. However, the farmer should be handy enough to repair a broken hinge at the forge.
In March we resumed our regular class-room, laboratory and field instruction, with the project as the central core around which was built the superstructure of theory and practice as the need arose.
The summer work which, as a whole, was similar to the work carried on in other years, had some outstanding features which I believe will show the value of the department and therefore be of interest.
Two of the boys were engaged by a nursery man for the entire summer. They did very satisfactory work. Their employer re- marked that they were the best boys he had ever hired. When asked by the instructor how he accounted for their good work, he replied, "They do good work because they are interested and they are inter- ested because they understand why they do certain things which to the untrained boy would only be drudgery, with no apparent aim."
Another important feature of the summer work which gave evi- dence of the fact that our course develops boys for responsible posi- tions, was the employment of one of our senior boys as herd mana- ger at one of our state institutions. This boy was engaged to take full charge of the dairy and he acquitted himself splendidly.
It is to be noted that wherever our boys have been engaged for work through the agriculturally productive season, they have shown
224
the value of their training so conclusively that they were eagerly solicited for return engagements.
The table appended hereto shows in detail the work and earnings of the pupils. A slight increase over last year is indicated. Last year it will be remembered was the high pressure year for crop production.
Our fall term opened with an enrollment of 26 boys. For one reason or another this number has been reduced to 22 at this writing.
· The group of boys we have at present, I believe, is the best one for some time. They are all very much interested in their work and seem to be particularly motor-minded, which is, of course, very de- sirable in any vocational course.
This last fall we had the honor and pleasure of being selected as the first school or department in Massachusetts to be assigned an apprentice teacher by the State Board of Education. This man sent us was Mr. Clifton W. Scott, a senior at the Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Mr. Scott's official position in relation to the High School was assistant agricultural instructor.
He was given certain duties to perform under the direction of the agricultural instructor, who instructed him in the art of teach- ing and class management. Under the direction of Supt. Safford, Mr. Scott made some special studies in Psychology.
Mr. Scott proved to be a very adept student and fitted extremely well into the regular scheme of the school.
The authorities at the Massachusetts Agricultural College were very much pleased with the way in which the apprentice course was handled. They hope to interest other young men in taking this three-months' course. College credits are allowed for this work.
It is my opinion that a course of this kind when properly con- ducted is of more value to a young man who contemplates going into vocational teaching, than a year of teaching. He gets the right habits and attitude at the start, and knows when and how to get teaching material after an apprenticeship experience.
We were again favored by a large number of visitors to our department this past year. The largest group came in August from Cornell College. This group under the leadership of Prof. Works was made up of representatives of nearly every state in the Union. These men, mostly vocational-education directors, were very much impressed and pleased with the work done in Reading and we have since received from them, many requests for information regarding how we develop certain phases of our work.
225
All things being considered, this has been the most successful year of the department, and it augurs well for its future.
Thanking all who have co-operated in the development and furtherance of the department, I am,
Respectfully,
RUDOLF SUSSMANN, Agricultural Instructor.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
MR. A. L. SAFFORD, SUPT. OF SCHOOLS, READING, MASS .:
Dear Sir :- The work in physical training is making very satis- factory progress.
While the time of my direct supervision is very limited in the grade schools, owning to the fact that I am conducting regular classes in the Junior High School, I feel that the class teachers are doing faithful and conscientious work in my absence.
The work in the first and second grades consists entirely of Story Plays, Singing Games and simple and easy Folk Dances.
In the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades the difficulty of the work increases, and while in the third grade simple co-ordination and quick response to command are only required, in the sixth grade these are combined with rhythmic exercises and exercises more difficult for muscular co-ordination, which also have special cor- rective value and thought. In these higher grades team play is in- troduced with Folk Dances and quick games for the use of indoor work.
In all grades special attention is paid to good posture in sitting, standing and walking and the importance of this explained to the children by the supervisor. This phase of the work as well as the hygienic condition in the class room and house are greatly improved by the nation-wide organization known as "The Modern Health Cru- saders," which binds children to at least ten chores concerning the body each day, and a full bath at least once a week, to establish wholesome health habits.
We hope to make this organization so interesting that by the end of the year all the children of the grades will be enrolled with the rank of Page.
The work in the Junior High School (VII and VIII grades) ow- ing to the fact that each class in this school has one regular 40- minute period of physical training every day, is more advanced. This period is divide into two halves, the first of which is used for regular setting-up drill, corrective work, drills in co-ordination, quick and accurate response to command and rhythm; the second period is devoted to supervised play, supervised athletics for girls as well as boys and Folk Dancing.
229
The organization of the Junior Athletic Association gives an especial interest to this phase of work among the boys, and the mem- bers have done creditable work towards the firm establishment of the association and their equipment.
"The Modern Health Crusaders" are established among the Junior High School pupils also, and their physical condition noted once a month. Because of the inadequate equipment, this examin- ation only. consists of a careful weight and height test, the result of which, especially in case of malnutrition, are reported to parents on the quarterly report cards.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN A. LENGYEL, Director of Physical Training.
