To all my associates I offer sincere appreciation of their efforts in making this school year the success it has been. Special commen- dation is due the staff in the Foster School for their success under unprecedented circumstances. The Shawsheen School staff has also worked very efficiently for a new organization.
The members of the School Committee deserve high apprecia- tion from the town for their achievements during the year.
Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN G. BEAN, Superintendent of Schools.

SHAWSHEEN
REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
To the Superintendent and School Committee of Tewksbury:
As Supervisor of Music in the schools of Tewksbury, I submit the following report:
This is the first year that I have had the music in the North Tewksbury School, as it was formerly connected with the Lowell Teachers' College. With these classes, the High School chorus and the new classes at the Shawsheen School, I have much more work to accomplish in the same amount of time. (One and one half days per week). It is impossible to visit the schools as often as previously.
Every grade has its definite work. A brief outline was given in last year's report.
The High School pupils have chorus one period a week. A stan- dard High School chorus book is used.
The seventh grade (now eighth grade) of the Foster School sang for the Parent-Teachers' Association last spring. The music given was regular classroom work.
I attended the Annual Eastern Supervisors' Music Conference at Providence, R. I., and saw class demonstrations of public school music, both vocal and instrumental, and heard interesting lectures by promi- nent people. I am a member of the Eastern Supervisors' Conference and also the In and About Boston Music Supervisors' Club.
Mr. C. M. Tremaine of New York, Chairman of the Commission on Costs and Economic-Social Values of Music Education, writes in a recent magazine: "The cultural subjects have assumed a far greater importance with the marked increase in leisure time. Music has many advantages for the people as a whole. Music being something to be enjoyed by everyone rather than the selected few, music education becomes the birthright of every child."
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the pupils, teachers, Superintent and School Committee for their kind co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
M. MARION ADAMS,
Supervisor of Music.
131
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF SEWING
Mr. Stephen G. Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The work in the sewing classes has progressed unusually well dur- ing the past year.
The girls in the seventh grade have made holders, towels, bags, underwear, simple dresses, and bloomers.
The girls in the eighth grade have hemstitched towels, appliqued pillows, made underwear, dresses, skirts and blouses.
This year, sewing is elective in the ninth grade and those who are taking it are planning to have a fashion show. The girls making their dresses in the sewing classes and modeling them.
Respectfully submitted,
LENA M. COBURN
Supervisor of Sewing.
January 15, 1934
132
REPORT OF MANUAL TRAINING INSTRUCTOR
Mr. Stephen Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
In my annual report I wish to give a brief summary of the work done in the manual training classes during the past year.
The seventh grade have been taught the names of the tools and how to use them. Every boy has finished some small project.
The eighth grade have been working on advanced projects. They have been trained to work from sketches.
The ninth grade boys have made sketches of work they wished to do, specified the stock to be used, figured the cost of the same and have a general idea of practical shop work for junior high school students.
All have been instructed in the sharpening of tools and through- out the year kept them in order. It is desired that the boys get this familiarity with the tools before taking up manual training in the higher grades.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND A. NORTON.
133
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
To the Superintendent and School Board of Tewksbury:
In my 1932 report I tried to trace the stages of drawing a child goes through in the grades together with the need of supervision to sense the stage or change and supply the necessary tool or skill.
The environment of the child plays a tremendous part in the drawing lesson. The stages are realized by some more quickly than others.
In the fourth grade for example, a problem was the drawing of a Fairy Castle. The background of the child there meant a great deal. Some knew what they wanted but couldn't draw it entirely- some didn't know. Discussion, imagination, practice and observa- tion were very necessary.
The last opens up a path that has been given some importance, but as I see it not nearly enough.
The work "The Art of Seeing" by Woodbury and Perkins and my own belief prompts me to say that drawing is simply a matter of seeing clearly. By this I do not mean a drawing or painting with mastered technique, but simply a set of lines that outline the object.
Take for example a bicycle. Who wouldn't recognize a bicycle. Yet few could draw it from memory, due to lack of observation. The bicycle is composed of circles and straight lines-no subtle curves or proportions to think about. Still the average person in drawing even from the object would miss up on some lines-purely observation.
The hand will put down what the eyes see and convey to the brain. To see clearly then is of major importance. Observation in drawing is like concentration in the academic subjects.
The grades provide a great deal of interest for the supervisor in following up the growth and sudden changes in slow or aimless children.
In September 1933 a new interest was added-that of the High School. A most interesting group. The child here becomes more and more the individual.
134
Ideas set out in a fifth grade at best bring a return of fifth grade work and possibly a bit of the sixth, but ideas set out in a High School group promise astonishing results. With the proper supervision the individual beyond his grade in observation and ac- curacy spurs the others on and the standard of the group is raised. Not only that, but the spirit becomes that of little men and women.
Again I wish to thank Superintendent Stephen Bean and the School Board for the opportunity of supervising drawing in the Tewksbury Schools.
Respectfully submitted,
VITTORIA ROSATTO, Supervisor of Drawing.
January 10, 1933.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
The past year has been badly spotted with absentees because of our contagious cases. Many cases of teeth and tonsils which had been removed the previous year are now showing results in better nutrition and freedom from colds and throats, which had previously kept them from school. At present we are quite free of contagious cases which affect our attendance, but the menace now troubling the Nurse and Physician is Pediculus Capitis, otherwise knows as head lice, which are more prevalent than for many years. I would ask the parents to assist us by watching for this unwelcome host and if found use Lark- spur Lotion rubbed daily into scalp and on hair until they are eradi- cated. Although this is a bit unusual in a report of this character, we find that many families do not take our directions seriously, and be- fore we are forced to exclude the chronic offender from school, we are making this suggestion.
Respectfully yours,
HERBERT M. LARABEE, M. D.
