REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Perry:
The following is my report as School Physician for the year ending December 31, 1948.
The usual physical examinations were made on all the children attending the schools of Westford. A separate physical examination was made to recheck all the cases in which major physical defects were found, in order that the parents of the children could be notified as to what procedure would be needed for them to see that the children would get the needed medical or surgical care when major defects were found.
A special examination was made on the pupils of the Academy who were to play football and basketball, and on the elementary school boys who were interested in football, in order that they could carry Liability Insurance and to find out if they were in the right physical condition to enter these sports.
A large number of pupils were treated at the Abbot Worsted
Company Hospital for minor surgical and medical conditions. These cases came to me as emergency cases referred to me by the Principals of the different schools.
Cooperation by the Board of Health Nurse, teachers, and parents of the children was splendid as it has been in the past.
Respectfully submitted, DWIGHT W. COWLES, M.D.

REPORT OF PENMANSHIP SUPERVISOR
Mr. Peter F. Perry
Superintendent of Schools Westford Academy Westford, Massachusetts
My dear Mr. Perry:
I am pleased to submit the following report on the operation of the Handwriting program in your schools for the school year of 1947-48.
In the initial handwriting tests administered to your pupils in September 1940, 20% received a grade of "A" (Excellent); 8% re- ceived a grade of "B" (Good); and 72% were scored less than "B". In the tests administered in June 1948, 75.2% of your pupils received a grade of "A" (Excellent); 13.4% received a grade of "B" (Good) ; and 11.4% scored less than "B". Handwriting certificates were awarded to 83% of your graduates.
During the school year we graded approximately 5500 formal and 16,500 informal handwriting samples for your pupils. A formal test was administered monthly and a report was furnished each teacher giving a careful diagnosis of the handwriting of each pupil in her room.
We furnished the following instructional materials: monthly teachers' outlines, pupil folder outlines, room motivation certificates, handedness tests, individual handwriting certificates for pupils who qualified, monthly and term envelopes, seals, etc.
My supervisors join with me in expressing our appreciation for the splendid cooperation we have received from you and your teachers at all times. We are very pleased with the results obtained in your schools.
Sincerely yours,
W. L. RINEHART,
Director.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART AND MUSIC
Mr. Peter F: Perry
Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
As Supervisor of Art and Music I hereby submit the following report on the programs concerning these two subjects in the Westford Schools.
Music and Art are probably the best means to the end towards which all teaching is directed-richer and fuller living. But because they are cultural subjects, it is too often felt that they are merely ac- cessories or luxuries which many school curriculums can do without, or at best be satisfied with second-rate facilities. Due to a most co- operative and far-sighted administration in Westford's schools, the music in your town is being elevated. We are doing our best to con- tinue the methods and maintain the standard of Art work formerly established by Dr. Landis of Harvard.
I have tried to inaugurate new music teaching methods in which I sincerely believe, not only from a theoretical viewpoint, but because they have incurred such fine results in towns and cities all over our country.
I appreciate greatly the attitude of many grade teachers with re- gard to these new methods; because of their patience and perseverance we are already seeing some gratifying results. Adopting a new pro- gram in any of the studies is necessarily a slow and painstaking process and I should like to express my thanks to the teachers for they have been most cooperative.
A new series of music books is now complete in grades one through six and they will greatly facilitate the task of employing an efficient and enjoyable music reading program together with music appreciation.
Music appreciation has been of primary importance in the high school as well as the grammar schools. Many students in the inter- mediate grades have subscribed to a music paper, "Keyboard, Jr.", which will broaden their music experiences considerably.
131
All the grammar schools are planning to produce operettas in the Spring where only one school made public appearance last year.
Special music groups have grown in the Academy from a Girls' Glee Club only, until now we have a Boys' Glee Club and a Mixed Group, all of whom performed in the last pre-Christmas concert. It is hoped that the repertoire of these groups may be expanded to in- clude the operetta this year. Since the present Seniors have been ex- posed to compulsory chorus classes for the second year, it is also hoped that they will furnish their own graduation music, formerly done by the Glee Club.
The Art program is continuing in the manner introduced by Dr. Landis prior to my work here. Art and Music are literally partners in education, both having the same aims, and both of primary importance in developing the art of self expression.
Various projects were undertaken in each of the grammar schools during the Christmas season in the form of murals, stained glass win- dows, Christmas cards, and decorations.
The medium most commonly used is poster paint or Tempera, al- though crayons, being the most economical, are used frequently. A much greater variety of media should be available for the children of every grade but in individual classes we have worked with free hand cut-outs, clay, soap sculptures, three dimensional compositions, and pastels. We hope to add spatter prints to the work of the intermediate grades and stage art to the experience of the Junior High in connec- tion with the operettas of the primary grades.
Respectfully submitted, HELEN E. HUME,
Supervisor of Art and Music.

The No-School Signal will be two blows of the fire alarm whistle repeated three times.
The above signal will be given at 7:10 A. M. unless icing condi- tions begin about that time, in which case the No-School Signal may be blown as late as 7:45 A. M.
The No-School announcement will be broadcast over Stations WEEI, WBZ, WLLH, and WLAW whenever possible.
It is the policy of the School Department to keep schools in ses- sion on all days during which it is safe for buses to be operated. The widely varying conditions in the several parts of Westford make it difficult to reach decisions equally fair to all. ON DAYS WHEN THE WEATHER CONDITION IS QUESTIONABLE PARENTS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE THEIR OWN JUDGMENT AS TO THE WISDOM OF SENDING THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE J. V. FLETCHER LIBRARY
January 1949
The trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library respectfully submit their annual report for 1948 including the report of the librarian and the list of books added in 1948.
Again this year we continued our program of repairs long needed at the Library. The roof had begun to leak, necessitating new slates and copper work in the gutters, and the hurricane of Sept. 21, 1938 had weakened the chimney so that it was leaning badly and had to be attended to. Frost and settling had done their work through the course of the years and the stone blocks either side of the steps had pulled away from the building, and also the bottom step itself had tilted, allowing water to settle there in rainy weather. Mr. Lund- berg and his helper did a splendid piece of repair work, though it was done on some of the hottest days of summer.
For various reasons it seemed wise to replace the coal stoker in the furnace with a Delco oil burner and this has given good service. It was an added expense we had not expected to encounter, so it was necessary to delay the redecorating of the walls in the stackroom We did, however, purchase new curtains for all the windows in the library save those in the stackroom. Probably this was the first replacement of the original curtains put up when the library was built in 1896.
Mr. Carroll J. Rollins served efficiently as janitor for the winter months, following which Mr. James McAvinew took over the work. He has been most helpful.
Continued repairs and the refinishing of the stackroom and if possible the rooms upstairs, which have never been redone since the library was built, make it necessary for the trustees to ask for the following appropriation to carry on the work of the library and its branches, viz:
1. The sum of thirty-six hundred ($3,600.00) dollars.
2. The receipts from the dog licenses in 1948.

To the Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library:
The librarian herewith submits her thirty-first annual report and on March 7th the library will complete its ninetieth year since it was given to the town for a public library by the proprietors of the Social Library on condition that not less than thirty dollars a year be spent for books. Now the library has its own building and several deposit stations. The residents of Graniteville may obtain books at the home of Mrs. Francis C. Wood, those in Nabnasset at the post-office. Unfortunately, it has been necessary to give up the station at the Forge Village post-office since it became a second class office and we have not yet found another place. The children also have the chance to get books at their respective schools in Graniteville, Forge Village and Nabnasset, while those at Frost and the Academy come to the library.
Foreign books in Swedish and Russian have been furnished to several readers by borrowing from the Division of Public Libraries. They have also loaned books on various other subjects that were needed.
A group of books on handicrafts were loaned to the Tadmuck Club for their meeting on April 13.
The librarian was glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Julian A. Cam- eron on a brief visit one afternoon in October. He showed his con- tinuing interest in the library by the gift of several books.
Those who enjoy detective stories were well remembered by the gift of 24 volumes each containing three stories published by the Detective Book Club and given by Mrs. Whitcomb and Mrs. Hook.
For Book Week many children's books were displayed on the table in the conversation room and an opportunity was given to purchase for Christmas presents since there is no bookstore in town. Several took advantage of the plan.
In the Frost museum case there have been exhibits of Latin American and Indian dolls, old agricultural books to contrast with the new gardening books on the table, Japanese trophies presented by John F. Young and old fashioned children's books.
At Christmas time a manger scene was set up in the children's room and on the end of the counter a group of dolls dressed as Christmas carolers with a large candle of Mrs. Martin's and greenery for a background, while books of Christmas stories and customs were nearby. Miss Winnek supplied the evergreen and bayberries for decoration.
138
Of special local interest is the gift of Mr. Eli T. Burbeck of a large map of Middlesex County in 1853 on which are shown the names of the occupants of the houses at that time.
From the estate of Miss Grace Lawrence the library received as gifts a map of the world drawn by Sarah Prescott (Mrs. David P. Lawrence of Forge Village) and two samplers made by Sarah and her sister Bethia. A beautiful portrait of Miss Sarah Hamlin as a child of six was received as the gift of Miss Kate S. Hamlin, both former residents of Westford.
John F. Young presented to the library a gun and three swords that he brought back from his war sojourn in Japan.
While the oil burner was being installed it was necessary to shorten the library hours during October, though an electric heater helped to keep the librarian warm. On the evening of March second the library was closed due to transportation difficulties.
The librarian attended the meeting of the American Library Association at Atlantic City June 13-19 and one day meetings of the Merrimac Valley group at Newburyport in June and at Dracut in October, all of which were helpful.
Few changes have been made in the list of magazines. All except current numbers may be borrowed for one week and the list for the coming year is as follows:
