Manual Training. The boys of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades have classes in Manual Training of woodwork each week. The sixth grade boys have had no previous instruction, while the eighth graders have had lessons for two years. I am giving the following facts about this course from the fuller report of Mr. Robeson. The sixth grade boys are instructed in the use of tools, their care, and to a slight extent their manufacture. They are taught to make joints, laps, "mortise and tenon," etc. This grade makes knife boxes, book racks, screen frames, and simpler articles.
The seventh grade boys are taught simple wood finishing with stains and shelacs.
The boys of the seventh and eighth grades make more difficult articles such as book cases, tool boxes, music cabinets, etc.
Beside the individual projects of the pupils considerable light re- pairs are made about the school, and several articles are made each year for the use in the rooms.
Sewing. At the time that the boys of grades 6 to 8 are taking manual training the girls of these grades have sewing with Miss Coburn.
I quote directly from Miss Coburn's report to me. "The seventh and eighth grade girls have made underclothes, aprons of all kinds, handkerchiefs, smocks, dress skirts, middy blouses, several dresses, and dresses and rompers for younger children. The girls of the sixth grade have made iron holders, work bags, handkerchiefs, small aprons, dish towels, dust caps, and underclothes."
I feel that this kind of training is of value to your pupils and regret that there is no opportunity to give equally to the pupils of the North.
Graduation. On Thursday evening, June 23, 1921, Mrs. H. M. Lar- rabee, Chairman of the School Committee, presented diplomas to the

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. Charles L. Randall, Supt. of Schools, Tewksbury, Mass. Dear Sir:
At your request, I herewith submit my third annual report as supervisor of drawing.
Everybody whether or not he realizes it, whether or not he wishes it, is a designer. When he dresses himself, arranges a bou- quet, sets a table, writes a letter-he is a designer. The home, the place of business, reflects the taste of the owner.
Good taste is the application of the laws of color, form and proportion. And these laws are being daily taught, in the drawing lessons, to the children in our schools. The first lesson in design, though it does not bear any such name, is given the first grade child, when he is shown where, on the paper, to place his first drawing. This design work continues through the grades. Each year the child learns more about proper spacing, margin and arrangement. This is the application of but one principle. Hand in hand with this are the principles taught, when drawing from nature, of color, line and harmony for nature always observes all the laws of good design.
To make this design work of the greatest educational, the great- est practical value, is our aim and this is best obtained by interweav- ing, as far as possible this work with the regular work of the school- the illustrating of their reading in the lower grades, the making of signs and of placards in the middle grades and portfolios in the upper classes. This year we are helping the nurse in her health campaign by making posters in all the grades and the upper grades will also make posters for the concerts which the schools are to give.
Respectfully submitted,
EDITH C. MERCHANT,
Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
January 7, 1922.
To the Superintendent and School Board of Tewksbury.
As supervisor of Music, I am glad to submit the following re- port :-
In taking up the teaching of music in Tewksbury I found the Weaver system had been followed. In this system, the primary grades are taught rote songs, the first steps in reading, and tone and time work are started. In the intermediate and upper grades, tone work is continued, reading and rhythm are given particular at- tention. Two and three part singing is started in grade five and continued through the upper grades.
An effort is made to develop appreciation of the best music, by giving attention to classical songs, the history of music and the development from the folk song to the music of to-day. Appreciation is the outgrowth of knowing and doing.
I have attempted to organize orchestras, but have not met with very encouraging results, but will not give up. If any one has a cor- net, drum or any instrument tucked away in their attic, I beg of you to bring it out and let some child have the use of it. We all need music in our lives. It is for the joy it gives that I urge this cause, not to make professional musicians.
I am pleased with the interest which has been shown, to my latest suggestion, of violin classes in the schools, and assure you, we will show some good results.
I have received hearty co-operation from the Superintendent, teachers, .parents and friends. For this I wish to thank you. It is interest that makes for success in any educational work.
Respectfully submitted,
ISABEL M. GREGORY,
Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN AND NURSE
The past year has shown some very remarkable results in the physical improvement of our school children through the co-operation of the school nurse with me. Many cases, as reported below, have been taken to the hospital for operation. A great many defects have been noted and reported, which have been remedied. Talks upon school hygiene have been given the children, and a healthy co-opera- tion of parent, teacher and nurse has been established.
As school physician I have examined all of the school children in the Town, and suggestions have been made for their betterment.
A school nurse in a small town in a very great aid to the school system. It appears to me that it would be one of the best moves that the Town of Tewksbury could make, to engage our nurse for full time, in preference to the present arrangement. By so doing her work would not be divided to anybody's disadvantage, and her con- stant attention would mean very much improved results.
The following is the report of the School Nurse from May 1st, 1921 to December 31st, 1921.
