REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To the Superintendent and School Board of Tewksbury:
In no country has the development of music teaching been so rapid as it has been in this country in the last few years. Ameri- ca, with mechanical devices, has increased the world's leisure, and now it is up to America to show the world what to do with it. In a musical way, America is doing just that. Music is more capable of keeping alive an appreciation of beauty and the spiritual life than most of the arts.
What has school music to do with showing the world how to use Its leisure time? Just this: Music is the one form of activity in which the whole school can take part, while at the same time create some- thing beautiful. It is like play minus the exuberant physical activity, but plus an exuberance of the spirit. It requires the most accurate "teamwork," it is unselfish, it awakens sympathy, creates joy, frees the soul and subtly harmonizes the physical being. I am sure all this is visible to the observer in any class. There are four phases in the teaching of music: singing, theory, rhythm, appreciation. In the first two grades a toy band is used to develop rhythm and some reading of music. The results of the previous years of work, are shown in our upper grade choruses and boys and girls glee clubs. The annual music contest last spring was more interesting than usual because the ranks were so very close. Foster school was third, with just two and a half points below the winners. The perfect score pins were presented as usual by the Parent-Teacher Association. The Foster school presented an operetta successfully, for the Parent-Teachers.
I am especially pleased with the results this year, which is due to the splendid and untiring efforts of my co-workers, the teachers.
At this time I would like to thank you, Mr. Randall, and the School Board, for the help and support in my efforts in the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
ISABEL M. GREGORY, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. Charles L. Randall,
Superintendent of Schools,
Tewksbury, Mass.
Dear Sir:
The report on the work done in drawing in the schools of Tewks- bury is herewith submitted.
Children love to draw and drawing is one of their natural modes of expression. It must be realized that drawing is not for the sake of making a picture; but it trains the mind in accuracy of thought necessary for real observation.
Through careful observation the child sees beauty in every- thing; and beauty is the most useful thing we know.
Nature work was started at the beginning of the school year. In doing nature work the children are taught delicacy of technique as well as careful observation.
The holiday seasons-Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Christmas followed. The children were given a great deal of construction work. Problems such as calendars, boxes, cut outs, window decorations, book marks and lanterns were made. Some classes made greeting cards and place cards. It was necessary to give a few lessons in lettering at this time.
Construction work is loved by all as they have made something they can make use of.
The various elements of design are being studied according to the ability of the classes.
At the completion of our design course more construction work will follow for Valentine's Day, Washington's Birthday and Easter.
In the upper classes a little perspective and object drawing will be studied.
We will resume our nature work with the return of spring.
The children can be taught to love beauty through consciously trying to produce beauty.
I now take this opportunity to thank the Superintendent for his valuable help and interest and the teachers for their willing. ness to co-operate with me in carrying on my work.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTINA G. YOUNG, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF SEWING AND COOKING
Mr. Charles L. Randall,
Superintendent of Schools, ·
Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The following report is submitted covering instruction in Sewing in the Foster School.
The girls in the seventh grade have made sewing bags, under- wear and aprons. Learning to do all their own cutting and stitch- ing on the machine.
The eighth grade girls have all made a patch-work pillow, by hand, underwear, aprons, bags and dresses.
An electric iron and ironing board have been added to the sew- ing equipment. The girls are learning how to press their work as they go along, there-by giving it a more finished look.
I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my sincere ap- preciation of the hearty co-operation of the Teachers and Superin- tendent.
Respectfully submitted,
LENA M. COBURN,
January 14, 1929.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent and School Committee of Tewksbury:
As School Nurse I submit the following report for the year 1928:
I have made three hundred and eight visits to the school. Every child has been weighed and measured and a physical record sent home. Every child has been examined for pediculosis, cleanliness, skin eruptions, etc., every two months. Contagious cases have been very carefully followed up and every thing done to prevent their spread.
I have made ninety six visits to the homes and the parents have been willing to co-operate with me in every way. I have conducted one hundred and three children to the Dentist and obtained corrected vision for twenty-five children. Ten children have been with me for the removal of tonsils and adenoids.
Dr. Larrabee has vaccinated forty-six children in school.
In June I had a successful Dental clinic at the Foster School and during October and November, I had clinics in all the schools except the West. Three hundred and ten children had work done. Dr. McNally did one hundred and thirty-six cleanings, four hundred and eighty fillings of various kinds and one hundred and forty nine extractions. He tells me that our children's teeth are in much better shape than the average school children.
I borrowed a set of slides from the State Dept. of Public Health and showed them to all the children in schools except those at the West School. I showed them in the evening at the Shawsheen School and at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. They were called "Your Teeth" and I gave a talk in each case.
I have done one hundred and seventy-three dressings in school.
This fall I attended the New England Health Conference in Burlington Vt. From what I learned there I am sure we do as much practical health work for our children as any place in New England.
Respectfully submitted,
EMMA P. MacLAREN, E. P. M.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:
I will make the following brief report of the health status in our schools. The sanitary conditions are very good in all the schools, and the general health of the children is above the average, of towns of our size. Our contagious cases have been well rounded up, and the value of a school nurse proven. Through the cooperation of the Tuberculosis department, of the State Board of Health, we expect a clinic this year,, which will be most thorough in its scope even to X-Ray examinations of necessary cases, I hope the parents of school children will send the necessary permission for this clinic.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. LARRABEE M. D. School Physician.
