The winter and spring terms of 1907 bid fair to be successful unless sickness occurs among the pupils, or some other unforseen evil arises. The pupils seem interested in their work; there seems to be a rise in the school spirit. With encouragement, and if nec- essary persuasion, on the part of the parent toward the pupil, con- stant attendance and conscientious work on the pupil's part, the teachers hope to make this a most profitable year.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF MUSIC
MR. W. N. CRAGIN, Superintendent of School :
Dear Sir: In accordance with your request I herewith submit my report as Supervisor of Music.
It has been a source of great satisfaction to note the progress made by the schools during the past year. A higher standard of work has been attempted than ever before, but much still remains to be accomplished.
The work at the High school has progressed with fair success but better work can be done when the upper grammar classes in the Walker, Whitefield and High school buildings have entered the High school. These classes have had a regular course of musical training and a great deal will be expected of them in the future for excellent chorus work and distinct part singing. A fine quality of two and three part music exists at the present time in these classes and both teachers and scholars are deserving of much praise.
The work in these grades and also in the High school was de- layed for a time on account of the insufficient supply of music books. Material suitable for the High school voices has been bor- rowed from schools in another town, but the available supply is about exhausted and more music will be needed to continue the school work. A set of Silver Song Books has recently been fur- nished for one of the grammar grades and also enough additional books for the High school to provide for the increase in the number of pupils over last year.
To speak more definitely of the work in the upper classes- individual singing and sight reading have been given much attention.
In the lower grades much time has been spent in teaching the technicalities of music with satisfactory results from nearly every
48
grade. Sight singing and individual work have been encouraged and numerous rote songs have been taught of such a character as to give the little children correct ideas of tuneful singing.
Even where a special teacher is in charge, a great deal depends upon the regular teachers to carry on the plan of work. In this connection mention should be made of the hearty and willing co-operation of each teacher in making the public school music an important and interesting factor in the school routine. To them and to the school officials I desire in closing to express my sincere thanks for their interest and support.
Yours respectfully, MABELLE B. PROCTOR.
REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF DRAWING
MR. W. N. CRAGIN, Superintendent of Schools :
In response to your request for a report on drawing in the Wilmington schools, I submit the following :
I have had charge of the subject of drawing for about six months, and therefore can say very little as to the progress made
The branches or departments worthy of study included in the narrow term "drawing," which really stands for a very broad subject, are many, are varied and are almost inexhaustible. There- fore, not knowing exactly what had already been accomplished by the pupils, it was difficult to decide wisely just where to begin my work.
One of the several results which the study of drawing in the common schools should produce, and one of the most important of our aims, is the development of a good public taste and an appre_ ciation and enjoyment of all beautiful things. We never fully enjoy what we do not comprehend, and we cannot truly appreciate a beautiful form or color combination until we have tried to produce one.
Whether or not children have talents in the arts, they all have tastes, and the elevation of these is one of the most important ends of education, for upon the tastes of the man depend to a great extent his actions and surroundings. The development of taste and appreciation may be attained by repeated attempts to produce forms, arrangements and color schemes which are sensible, harmon- ious and beautiful.
For these reasons our first study was in the direction of good space division and harmonious color and tone relations. When a basis of good judgment has been established, and an understanding of some of the principles underlying all artistic production has
50
been attained, the study of representation will be commenced. No direct attempt has been made to produce pretty or attractive papers. The main object striven for has been the understanding of under- lying principles and the power to apply them. The finished and beautiful work of the artist or musician is produced only after hours and perhaps years of hard work and patient toil much of which is spent on dry technical exercises.
The mistaken idea that drawing is a recreation, a light and pretty diversion to be indulged in for a few minutes each week, very reluctantly gives way to an understanding that it must be un- dertaken as seriously, faithfully and industriously as any of the most difficult problems that arise in the regular school work.
As the Supervisor of Drawing can give but five hours per week to the schools of Wilmington, it seemed best, for the present at least, to concentrate most of her time and attention upon the higher grades where the work is more difficult and leave the work in the lower grades, which is more simple, largely to the regular teacher.
Without the interest and co-operation of the regular teacher the special teacher, because of her short and infrequent visits, can accomplish very little. I heartily and gratefully acknowledge the faithful and painstaking spirit which prevails among the teachers of Wilmington. Whatever success may attend my supervision will be largely due to their efforts.
Very respectfully,
MARGARET E. HILL.

Selectmen's Report.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF WILMINGTON :-
In accordance with the vote of the town, we purchased an up- to-date road machine, the use of which the past year has proved the usefulness of the same when intelligently handled. More miles of road were put in better condition for public travel than was ever done before in any one year. We placed a young man in charge of the streets and no one can say that he has not filled the position with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the majority of our taxpayers.
The public buildings are in good condition, in fact, their appearance is a credit to the town. There is one exception, how- ever. We suggest that the Town Hall be painted this year. In the table of expenditures it will be seen that but few departments exceeded the appropriation.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES E. KELLEY, GEORGE W. BUCK, JOHN W. HATHAWAY,
Selectmen of Wilmington.
