DRIVER EDUCATION
The Driver Education course continues to be popular. We were fortunate in getting a car from the Ford Motor Sales, Inc., in Lowell and although it did not arrive until the last of April, we were able to present eight students for road tests before school closed in June. In September a number of students began their instruction behind the wheel and in the Spring this will be continued in preparation for their road tests before school closes in June.
SCHOLARSHIP
The Westford Teachers Association through their Scholarship Fund presented one hundred dollars to a senior girl of the class of 1951, who is presently at Boston University studying for the teaching profession.
We hope that there will be other organizations who will start Scholarship Funds in order to help and encourage our boys and girls in their college work.
GIFTS
The Abbot Worsted Company and the C. G. Sargent Sons Cor- poration, as has been their custom for many, many years, made Christ- mas a merry time for the school children with their generous gifts.
The Trustees of Westford Academy award several prizes at the high school graduation program. We are also grateful to them for their interest in the school curriculum, as evidenced by the financing of the testing program again this year.
The Forge Village P. T. A. continues its policy of equipping a Domestic Science room at Cameron School, while the Westford P. T. A. provides playground equipment at the Frost School.
Mr. Harold Wright again this year has provided transportation to some of our football games, and we sincerely appreciate his loyalty. The Nabnassett P. T. A. and Boosters Club have been active and provides for Christmas parties, library books and records.
All this shows that we have organizations alive and progressive, actively interested in our schools.
I would like to thank the School Committee for their whole- hearted cooperation and support. And I would also like to express my appreciation to the school faculty and to the secretary, for their help and for the spirit of friendliness which exists in our school system.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER F. PERRY, Superintendent.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Perry:
I am submitting my report as School Physician for the year ending 1951 as follows:
A slower and more thorough check-up was begun in September on all children attending the Westford Schools and this check-up will continue through the fiscal year, examining every other grade begin- ning with the first grade. Each case which seems advisable to recheck will be given separate physical examination for major defects and parents will be notified in such cases as to what procedure.to follow in order to ensure their children proper medical or surgical care.
As has been done in the last several years, I have administered special examinations on the high school and elementary students who participate in athletics. This is done in accordance with Liability Insurance and to make certain that these children are in proper physical condition to enter sports. I also attended the football games in my capacity as School Physician during the season of 1951, which was recommended by the School Board.
A large number of emergency cases were referred to me by the Principals of the various schools and these were treated at the Abbot Worsted Company Hospital. The cases were for minor medical or surgical conditions.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the continued fine cooperation of the Board of Health Nurse, teachers, and parents.
Respectfully,
DWIGHT W. COWLES, M.D.

REPORT ON REMEDIAL READING PROGRAM
Mr. Peter Perry Superintendent of Schools Westford, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Perry:
In September, approximately 130 children, grades 2 through 12, were referred for specialized reading instruction by the teachers of the five Westford schools. A testing program was designed to de- termine not only the reading achievement level of these children, but also their ability to read in terms of general intellectual capacity. Those children found to be two or more years retarded in their reading achievement were included in the remedial program. The subjects from each school were grouped in accordance with the following criteria: age, grade in school, reading achievement level, ability level, emotional stability, and probable cause of reading disability. Eight groups were set up at Cameron, Sargent, and Frost schools, four groups at Nabnassett school, and two at the Academy. The average number of children in each group was five. One and one-half days per week were devoted to both the Cameron and the Sargent schools, one full day to the Frost school, and one-half day to both Nabnassett and the Academy. Children came for reading instruction once a week in groups of four or five for an average period of fifty minutes.
New reading materials were ordered. Since all of the children involved were at least two years retarded in reading achievement, it was necessary to find books with a low vocabulary level and a high interest level. Phonetic materials were obtained, and a portion of each reading lesson was devoted to phonetic analysis and skills. In addition, each child was given a work book to complete during his leisure time either in school or at home.
Both silent and oral reading were included in the program for all groups with added emphasis on silent reading and reading for speed in grades four and up. In the high school, attention was focused on reading comprehension and reading speed with a review of elementary reading and phonetic skills. To stimulate interest in the program and to encourage learning, extensive use was made of various reading games such as wordo, consonant lotto, vowel lotto, and word solitaire. The tachistoscope was an important remedial instrument because of its stress on phrase reading and quick word recognition. It was used with success to overcome the word-by-word reading habit of many of the pupils. Short quizzes based on the simplified remedial work were given periodically in order to make the children aware of their
115
progress, thereby increasing their motivation for further achievement in reading.
Following the Christmas vacation, there will be some changes in the reading schedule to enable the specialist to work on an individual basis with some of the more serious cases.
Respectfully submitted,
CAROL P. VERVEN Reading Specialist

REPORT OF PENMANSHIP SUPERVISOR
Mr. Peter F. Perry Superintendent of Schools 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 1950-1951. .
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, 1951, 87% received a grade of "A"; 11% received a grade of "B"; and 2% scored less than "B", Hand- writing certificates were awarded to 92% of your graduates.
During the school year we graded approximately 5800 formal and 17,400 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 THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC AND ART
Mr. Peter F. Perry
Superintendent of Schools
Westford, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Perry:
The efforts of our present day education can only hope to find fruition in the days to come. While we cannot know the specific problems of those days, our present problem is to prepare for life, as life seems to be tending. We know that with the more or less recent labor turnover people are finding themselves with a great deal of leisure time and a necessity for a good use of it. How this time will be spent depends upon the tastes of the people. What the tastes of the people shall be depends upon the habits formed in their impressionable days-their school days.
Prominent among the influences which education is fostering in our young people is music. Through active participation and a spirit of cooperation throughout, the young boys and girls of today are preparing themselves for future life in a democracy.
Our foremost concern in music is to give every child an oppor- tunity to develop into a being who loves music and enjoys participa- tion in its expression.
To accomplish this our primary grades (1, 2, and 3) employ the following objectives:
1. The opportunity is given to each child for self-expression through singing.
2. The desire and ability to respond to different types of rhythm through dancing, marching, rhythm band, etc.
3. The desire for self-expression in the creative experiences, making-up songs to sing, etc.
4. An appreciation of good music through listening.
5. In the second and third grades with the use of books, the ability to follow directions and to maintain a cooperative spirit.
Among the objectives of the intermediate grades (4, 5, and 6) are:
1. To provide for every pupil a musical experience that is constantly expanding.
2. To continue the development of the voice through singing beautiful songs.
3. To develop power in using the printed language of music, leading to an increased pleasure in singing and more dis- cerning appreciation of all kinds of music.
4. To give continued experience in creating original melodies.
5. To provide opportunities to listen to the best music.
118
6. To introduce part singing in grade four increasing in difficulty throughout the fifth year so that in the sixth there is an ability to carry parts independently.
7. To promote and increase an appreciation of national life through folk and patriotic songs.
The aims to be realized in the junior high school are these:
1. To help make transition from the grade school organiza- tion to that of the high school. The singing of songs learned in the grades is one familiar activity that carries over into the junior high school; joining in chorus singing with other children helps establish self-confidence through a feeling of comradeship.
2. Music serves as a binding or socializing force by capital- izing the "gang" spirit which is characteristic of adoles- cence.
3. The varied offerings of the music program serve as exploratory material and reveal to the student some of the possibilities of music in the high school and the years beyond.
4. The music offerings should aid the students in the se- lection of those musical activities which are most suitable.
5. Music is a valuable aid in interrelating various subjects of study and thus connecting them with life activities.
Music in the high school accomplishes the dual purpose of further extending the individual's ability and creating occasions in which the student is able to demonstrate his or her ability.
This year there is a new course in music open to juniors and seniors on an elective basis. The hoped for results of this course in combinations with the other music courses in high school are to ac- complish adequate training for those who wish to make music a profession, as well as those who choose to become stenographers, mechanics or other business or professional workers.
In our art education program we strive to encourage the growth of the child's creative endowments in art. This is developed on the basis of the premise that in the early years of a child's life his natural endowments for creative expression (thinking, feeling, speaking, and movement) appear to develop with a minimum of assistance other than encouragement and the opportunity to perform. Thus through the different art media, drawing, painting, design, and construction the child's ability is realized and developed. The evidences of upper grade art serve as proof of this development.
I would like to thank the teachers for the cooperation they have given me in all respects.
Respectfully submitted,
EUNICE M. BUCKLEY

NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL
The No-School Signal will be two blows of the fire alarm whistle repeated three times.
Te above signal will be given at 7:10 A.M. unless icing conditions 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 WBZ, WLLH, and WLAW whenever possible.
.
It is the policy of the School Department to keep schools in sessions 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.
