The enrollment since September of the present year is 55, the average membership 53.07, the average attendance 50.42, the per cent. of attendance 94.8.
Once more I must call the attention of the parents of a small number of pupils to the matter of absences and tardiness. Pupils frequently absent soon lose all connection between one day's work and the next and fall hopelessly to the rear.
There should be more co-operation between the home and the school, more visits on the part of the parents to see what their children are doing in school.
The result of practically a single session of the school is the lack of preparation at home. Each pupil has an average of four recitations per day. Since there are only seven recitation periods, that leaves only three periods, or about two hours for study at school. It is evident that some of the work ought to be done at home, and parents should see that their children spend at least two hours in faithful study at home each day. Pupils in the upper classes need even more time . The pupils who entered the school in September are doing good work except in a few in- dividual cases.
As to these individual cases, I may say that the one great need of the Academy is a more unyielding insistence upon a thorough preparation for its entering pupils. Pupils who do not have a fair comprehension of the English language or cannot reason out fair problems in arithmetic cannot do the work in the Academy, except at a great disadvantage to themselves and a handicap to the rest of the class.

In June 1909 a class of two boys and two girls was gradu- ated.
One boy of this class has continued his work at a higher institution, the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and is doing good work.

At the close of last year Miss Bartlett resigned to accept a better position and Miss Edith M. Lawrence was chosen to take her place.
At Christmas of the present year Miss Babbitt withdrew and Miss Bertha E. Norris was elected to the position. Both of these new teachers are doing good work.
The pupils as a whole are doing good work and the year has been one of progress.
The following table showing the increase in enrollment and attendance for the last four and one-half years is of interest.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. A. B. Webber, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
It has been so short a time since I was assigned to the super- vision of music in the Public Schools of Westford, that my report covers only a small amount of work.
I feel, however, that we are making advancement, although the progress seems rather slow. It will be my aim to teach thor- oughly all the fundamental principles of the art, and give to the pupils the ability to read and to sing music of ordinary difficulty at sight and to render it with expression and a good quality of tone.
I have spent a good deal of time in teaching the children what may seem two very simple principles, but what I consider of great importance. First, the way I want them to sing, which is softly, for if the children's singing is soft, it is always sweet. Second, a good singing position, which will assist the quality of tone and insure attention, without which I might say nothing can be accomplished. In this I hope to see more of an improve- ment soon. It is also of the utmost importance to have them feel the rhythm, the swing of their songs and exercises.
The same educational principles govern the proper presen- tation and development of this study that apply in any other.
In the presentation of the subject, the methods have been changed somewhat. These changes were adopted only after careful consideration.
I am a firm believer in individual singing, which we have by no means given up. I like the individual slip system to test the pupils' ability in individual work, but for general practice I prefer to place the same material in every child's hands, when everyone can follow and receive the benefit of corrections in pitch, time, etc.
We have spent considerable time in chorus work and in de- veloping two and three-part singing. In the latter, I have been much pleased with their advancement.
24
As much time as possible has been spent on oral and written dictation. As soon as the work will permit, it is my purpose to introduce in the schools more elementary harmony, musical his- tory and biography.
In literature the different authors are studied; in music why should we not take up the lines of the famous composers?
In the Academy, the time allowance of only one music period a week, and the material allowed is very inadequate for ac- complishing what is usually required in a high school music course.
In some of the graded schools, the old books have been re- placed by a later edition and I sincerely hope it may be provided for the remaining schools during the coming year.
In closing, I wish to thank the Superintendent for his co- operation and the teachers for their efforts in seconding my en- deavors.
Respectfully submitted, MARY B. RAYNES, Supervisor of Music.

REPORT OF MEDICAL INSPECTOR.
Gentlemen of the School Committee :-
I respectfully submit the following report concerning the schools of Westford, for the year ending February 1, 1910.
I have visited the several schools and have made one general examination of all the children to determine what ones, if any, were suffering from disease that would interfere with their or other children's school work by being affected with a contagious or infectious disorder, or one detrimental to their own mental and physical development.
The general condition of the children was found more im- proved than the previous year, although there is great chance for improvement as yet, especially in the quick response to treat- ment of the various disorders necessarily sent out, and a more
25
co-operative spirit, shown by some of the parents and the children, would not have lost so long a time from the school work.
I also made a great many calls for inspection at the various schools, by the notification of either the teacher, superintendent or local committee.
During these inspections I have found three cases of ring- worm of the scalp, two of ringworm of the body, eight of adenoids, one of chorea, twenty-four of scabies, ten of impetego contagiosa, and many cases of head lice.
In this year we had diptheria at the Frost School sending home two children, and also one of the teachers contracted the disease; but by careful inspection and fumigation and the clos- ing of the school for a short time, we averted a possible epidemic.
I trust another year the parents will keep a strict watch on their children and after receiving notices of their afflictions, by the school physician, will promptly have them attended to at once and it will greatly simplify matters and be a help to the child.and all the children as well.
