ENROLLMENT
There was a slight increase in total enrollment as of October first of this year. All of the increase was in the elementary grades and most of it in the Silver Lake school.
In the High School where we had expected an increase to over 350 pupils, we had an actual loss of six pupils; there being 327 at the peak in 1941 as compared to 330 in 1940. This number has since de- creased to an even 300 at the present time. This is no doubt due to economic conditions and to a small extent to enlistments.
As usual it is difficult to know what to expect and plan for in this coming year. Nobody knows just what the effect of war conditions
160
may be. It is wholly possible that we may get an influx from the coastal towns. I am informed that the exodus has already started from some of the most dangerous of these areas. It would seem but natural that this town would see some increases in school population from this source. It is unusually accessible to Boston where many of these people are employed. This very element of accessibility could easily prove a reason for a growth in population when it becomes less easy to run private motor cars. It is my firm belief that we should plan for an increase in elementary enrollment and make our financial plans accordingly.
CONCLUSION
To the School Committee, teaching staff, supervisors, health officers and janitors I extend very sincere thanks for cooperation in making it possible for our schools to maintain a reasonably high stand- ard of achievement.
Respectfully submitted,
STEPHEN G. BEAN,

GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT
It is a refreshing sight these days to observe the many recent graduates of our local high school, both boys and girls, waiting at the railroad station for an early morning train to take them to acquired jobs in Boston and other places of business and industry.
This happy circumstance is the result, in considerable part, of the start of a systematic and intensive program of guidance and place- ment, initiated by the school principal, J. Turner Hood, Jr., who ap- pointed a male member of the faculty to act as a part-time director of guidance and placement in the high school.
The school principal, Mr. Hood, also encouraged the organizing during last spring, of a business men's committee of twenty-three leading Wilmington citizens, who have been a real aid in the place- ment of many of the graduates in desirable and permanent positions. In addition, many under-graduates are aided in securing summer, vacation, and part-time winter jobs.
It is also gratifying to know that these graduates tell of content- ment in their jobs; and many have received salary increases, which indicates that the employers are satisfied with the graduates.
This work of guidance and placement is considered so vitally im- portant that our Massachusetts legislature has recently enacted a law authorizing the appointment of full-time directors of occupational guidance and placement in all of the school system of the cities and towns of the state. These directors would serve the young people between the ages of 16 and 23.
A recent report, compiled by the local high school's department of guidance and placement, shows the disposition of graduates of the 1940 and 1941 classes.
1. Gainfully employed 75
2. Post-Secondary Work (Outside schools and colleges) 25
3. Joined armed forces of the U. S. 3
4. Relief projects 1
5. Married 6
6. Moved from Wilmington 2
7. Presently unemployed 1
Total Membership (Both Classes) 113
Another happy circumstance is that the present under-graduates have been greatly encouraged to study harder while in school, with the feeling that they too, will be able to qualify for a desirable posi- tion in the work-a-day world after their graduation from high school.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
January 15, 1942.
Mr. S. G. Bean, Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The United States is engaged in a war to determine whether the Democratic form of government shall survive. This war will tax our abilities to the utmost and will demand that we center our attention and energy upon the present and the future, leaving us very little, if any time to consider the past. Therefore in this report I shall be brief and shall devote little space to a resume of events of the past year.
I resumed my duties as Principal of the Buzzell School in Sep- tember after an absence of one year, during which time Mr. Frolio held that position. Contrary to some reports I do not receive any com- pensation for those duties nor have I at any time in the past received additional pay for such service. The Buzzell School is quiet and orderly and a spirit of harmony is evident. Pupils are progressing satisfactorily although the building is seriously over-crowded with two hundred and forty-two pupils enrolled in a building built for a max- imum of two hundred and ten. Miss Marjorie Chaput was married during the summer and Mr. Frolio resigned to accept a position in Rochester, N. H. These vacancies were filled by the election of Miss Mary Coologhan and Miss Doris Wright respectively.
There are three hundred pupils enrolled in the high school at the present time, which is the lowest enrollment recorded in the past few years and it is quite probable that this number will not change materially during the war due to enlistments of older boys plus in- creased demands for workers in industry. Mr. Baldwin Steward, Miss Edna Thornton and Miss Christine Carter resigned at the end of the last school year and their.places have been filled, respectively, by the election of Mr. Paul Moylan, Miss Priscilla Belcher and Mr. Hartwell Blanchard. The work in the extra-curricular departments of Music, Drawing, and Athletics has proceeded according to the pattern of the preceding year. Mr. Harvey has been very successful in his placement work for graduates and devotes much time and energy to guidance work with our upperclassmen.
163
The war, unquestionably, will bring about numerous changes in secondary education but what those changes will be, cannot be deter- mined by anyone at this time. We shall be guided and counselled by the Department of Education of this state, by the Massachusetts Teachers' Federation and the State and National Associations of High School Principals, all of which are making provisions to study con- ditions imposed by the Nation's war efforts and will make recom- mendations for methods to meet these conditions. We would urge very strongly that parents insist upon our older boys completing their high school courses before enlisting for war service since the ex- perience of World War I showed that very few boys return to finish their schooling after the war is over.
Plans are made and drills are being held to insure the safety of the pupils in the event of air raids in Wilmington during school hours. I realize that parents will be greatly concerned about the welfare of their children, when and if the air raid signal is blown, but it will be most helpful if parents do not call on the telephone or come to the school at such time.
A shortage of good teachers is developing now and probably will become acute before September. It is to be expected that we shall lose our teachers in increasing numbers to communities able and willing to pay large salaries. Many cities and towns have granted increases in salaries to their teachers ranging from $100 to a flat in- crease of 10% to all in an effort to offset the increase in the cost of living and also to try to hold the teachers. If the experience of World War I holds true for World War II, we can expect to be obliged to raise teachers' salaries considerably before the war is over.
I appreciate the support and encouragement that I have received from you and the School Committee and you can be sure that so long as I remain in the Wilmington Schools, I shall work for the best interest of the pupils.
Respectfully,
J. TURNER HOOD, JR.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
January 5, 1942.
Mr. Stephen G. Bean, Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir:
During the year 1941 the work of the School Nurse has included the following:
No. of children examined by E. C. MacDougall, M. D.,
school physician, assisted by the school nurse 1012
No. of notices of defects sent to parents 591
No. of home visits 146
No. of children taken to hospitals Diphtheria Clinic
12
No. of school children immunized 76
No. of pre-school children immunized
26
Total 102
Tuberculosis Clinic
With the assistance of the State Department of Health, a tuber- culosis case finding clinic was conducted in the High School.
No. of pupils given Von Pirquet skin test 240
No. of pupils with positive reaction 81
No. of pupils and teachers having chest X-Ray 104
No. of pupils put on follow-up list for further observa- tion and X-Ray 11
No. of contacts and suspicious cases taken to N. R.
S. S. for examination and X-Ray. 50
Dental Clinic
No. of children cared for 31
No. of cleanings 25
No. of fillings 97
No. of extractions 32
No. of children transported to clinic 5
165
The small number of pupils cared for this year is due to the fact that the clinic ran from October 28, 1940 to February 1, 1941. The work done up to January 1, 1940 was entered in last year's report.
In addition to these clinics the routine work of visiting schools, checking for contagious diseases, giving health talks and generally supervising the health of the school children has been done.
During the past year we have had mild epidemics of measles, mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox, and a few cases of scarlet fever. With the co-operation of teachers, doctors and parents we were able to keep them under control with a minimum of loss of time from school.
I wish to thank Mr. Bean, the teachers and the supervisors for their kindness and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. ESTHER H. NICHOLS, R. N.
School Nurse.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART
Mr. Stephen G. Bean, Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I have the honor to submit my thirteenth annual report as Super- visor of Art.
What is my impression of the most needed or important phase in today's School Art Education? The realization on the part of the teacher that School Art is Education, that it is a thought subject. The drawing teacher, so-called in the past, who told the children how to draw or taught them to copy other people's drawings, has changed today into the drawing teacher who can draw out the thoughts of the child and make him capable of objectifying his own thoughts. The Art Education teacher, then, isn't so much concerned with the tech- nique or skill that the young child as shown as with the thought con- tent and the effect it has had upon the child in helping him to express his own thoughts. The teacher realizes that this creative thinking and the watching of his own thoughts unfold as he draws gives the child a power to imagine, create, see clearly, reason, and think through a problem in a manner that is true education.
My schedule for the grades is the same as in other years. I teach one forty-five minutes once in two weeks in every room. At least three lessons are planned by me to be taught by the regular teacher between my visits.
The lessons in the first and second grades included design work, figure drawing, nature work, and drawings for Special Holidays.
The biggest part of the past year was spent working on a very large project correlating Art with Education. It was drawn in mural form, and each class, from grades two to six illustrated one of the school studies. The subjects included Reading, Penmanship, Arith- metic, Geography, History, Language, Nature Study, Music, Physical Education, Art, and, also, all the High School studies. These were all joined together and exhibited around the High School gymnasium on Wednesday, May the twenty-eighth from three to five in the afternoon and seven-thirty to nine in the evening. A large number of parents attended this exhibition and a great deal of enthusiasm was shown for this particular project, as well as for a great many more drawings.
167
The freehand and mechanical drawing classes of the High School have to meet after school once a week the same as they have for the past six years, which is not very successful, as there are so many other important activities going on at the same time. Nevertheless, a great deal was accomplished with pastels, pencil technique, posters, and water colors. Wilmington High School has the honor to have two of these pupils attending the Massachusetts School of Art this year.
The most important drawings done in the seventh and eighth grades were Flower Color Wheels, Indian Bowl Designs, Christmas Cards, Free-Brush Designs, Perspective Drawings, colored with water- colors, and Posters on Aviation.
I know that education needs to rouse itself further and more vigorously to a study and understanding of this challenging future and that you and I, Mr. and Mrs. American Citizen, cannot be too awake to the importance of emphasizing in the school and home these qualities of character, and of the spirit which more than anything else will enable our children to greet their stupendous new world with well founded confidence. This is a challenge to all thinking art teachers. It is within their power to help awaken in their pupils a love of the beautiful, to stimulate a creative imagination that may lead into fields of invention or into any of the allied arts, to give a well founded con- fidence that makes the child an independent thinker.
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Bean, principals, teachers, and pupils, for their loyalty, co-operation and activity in making my work successful.
Respectfully submitted,
SHIRLEY H. GULLIVER

REPORT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUPERVISOR
Mr. Stephen Bean, Superintendent of Schools, Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I have the honor to submit my third annual report as Supervisor of Physical Education.
The activities embraced in a well planned physical education pro- gram are the tools by which boys and girls may become physically, morally, and socially fit for the duties of citizenship and to enjoy a rich and full life. Physical Education helps to develop a healthy body, an alert mind; it teaches the necessity of cooperation and the proper respect for authority. Through participation in sports a child learns how to be a good leader and also how to be led. In this trouble- some period the United States has a great need for healthy young men and women; and for this reason physical education is being stressed and will continue to be stressed in every school system throughout the country.
Posture will always be one of the chief objectives of any health program. Incorrect posture tends to create poor organic functioning, and detracts considerably from personal appearance. Good posture plays a great part in maintaining a well-poised body which helps to make a happy and successful life. Each child in the town was exam- ined at the beginning of the school year, and corrective exercises were given to suit the need of each individual case. Each grade teacher has been advised to spend some time every day on posture work, for I feel that it can not be over emphasized.
Grades 1-6
Each room from the first to the fifth grades is visited for a period of thirty minutes every two weeks. This year typewritten outlines are left with the teachers with sufficient work to carry them through this two-week period. These outlines have been very carefully worked out, and at the completion of the school year each grade will have system- atically covered a full and well balanced program.
The sixth grade work has been changed somewhat, but it is still possible for me to visit each week. To have the boys and the girls separated at this age is highly desirable. This has been made possible by being able to use the high school gymnasium. While I am working with the boys in the gym, Miss Cryan of the Center school is in charge
169
of the girls. The next week the girls have their class in the gym and Miss Cryan works with the boys. This arrangement has proven very advantageous.
Grades 7-8
There has been a helpful change in the planning of the seventh and eighth grade classes. This year, as it should be, the boys and girls have been separated. The eighth grade children meet on Monday after- noons, alternating the boys with the girls. The seventh grade pupils likewise meet only on Wednesday afternoon. Volley ball, soccer, and field hockey are enjoyed during the warmer weather. Basketball fun- damentals, marching, mimetics, and Swedish and Danish gymnastics are taught when it is necessary to be indoors.
North School
The North School work proved so satisfactory last year that it has been advisable not to make any changes. Every other week Miss Maynard and I transport the boys to and from the High School gym- nasium. They are continuing with basketball and it is amazing how well they are progressing.
High School
Tuesday and Thursday are given over to the physical education classes in the high school. Every girl, unless excused by a doctor, is required to take forty minutes of gym twice a week. Coaching in com- petitive sports is given each afternoon at the close of school.
Instruction in the gym classes is given in the following: march- ing, Danish and Swedish gymnasium, modern dancing, tap dancing, ballroom dancing, mimetics, and hockey and basketball technique.
As usual the girls showed great enthusiasm in varsity sports. Seventy-six girls reported for hockey and eighty-two for basketball. The girls had a good field hockey season, losing one game to Melrose. The regular basketball schedule with the Lowell Suburban League is being followed. The team seems to be shaping up well, and Wilming- ton should again make a good showing in the League. Last year the Wilmington girls finished in second place.
May Day proved to be a gala day. Each child in the grammar grades participated, and Nancy Todd was a gracious and lovely May Queen. It was very gratifying to see so many interested spectators, and I should like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended.
I should like to express my appreciation and thanks to Mr. Bean, the teachers, friends, and my enthusiastic students, for their endless support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, EVELYN D. WELLS

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To Mr. Bean and Members of the School Committee:
Dear Sirs:
Having had the honor of being appointed Music Supervisor in the Wilmington Schools I take pleasure in submitting my first report.
In my work I keep the following objectives in mind; to develop an appreciation and an understanding of the best in music literature; to socialize each student making him understand the full values of his membership in the musical organization; to stimulate students toward a more vital interest in music.
Allow me to summarize the work we are doing in the music department.
I am able to teach in each grade once every other week; the Junior High one afternoon a week and the High School one day a week.
At the High School I have a Freshmen and Sophomore girls chorus of approximately 90; a Junior and Senior girls chorus of about 70 and a boys' chorus of about 30. Out of this group by means of audition I have selected a mixed chorus of 80 members. We hold our rehearsals one afternoon a week after school hours.
At the Christmas assembly each of the chorus groups offered two selections.
We are now looking forward to participating in the Massachusetts festival which is to be held in the middle of May at Marblehead, Massa- chusetts.
The orchestra is well under way and is conducting two rehearsals weekly.
In the Junior High as an extra curricular activity, we have a selected mixed chorus of 80 voices. A portion of this group performed this Fall at the High School play.
In the Center School we have an active choir consisting of 14 boys chosen from the 6th grades. They performed for the first time for the Teachers 'Christmas party and were favorably received.
In the Walker School we have a toy orchestra and I hope to be able to establish one in the other primary grades throughout the town; providing we can get the necessary equipment.
171
Three months have elapsed since I have assumed my new duties, and I am now looking forward to the months that are to follow to see the fulfillment of my objectives.
To Miss Maynard for her kindness in making toy orchestra instru- ments, the remaining faculty, and the student body let me express my thanks for their whole-hearted interest and helpfulness in the music department. May I in closing, thank you Mr. Bean and members of the school committee for the privilege of serving as music supervisor and if in any way I have furthered the musical interest in the town I shall feel deeply grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRIET G. DONEHUE
