HIGH SCHOOL INSTRUCTION.
WILBRAHAM, MARCH 1, 1911.
The Town is required, under the law of the State. to pay tuition for high school instruction for such children as are duly qualified. The following regulations have been adopted :
1. High school instruction at the expense of the Town will be given to such children as pass satisfactorily examinations given by the Superintendent.
2. Children recommended by the Superintendent will be admitted to Springfield High School, Ludlow High School or Wesleyan Academy without further examinations.
3. No child shall be recommended by the Superintendent until satisfactorily completing by course or examination the "Course of Study" for the public schools of Wilbraham.
E. O. BEEBE, G. A. DOWNEY, School C. W. CHAPIN, Committee.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
As Medical Inspector appointed by the School Board, I have visited all the schools three times during the year, that is, each term. At each visit I have separately inspected all pupil in attendance. I found the condition of the children so favorable at those inspections that no reinspection has been necessary. The calls of teachers for special inspections have been but few.
Under the amendment, Acts of 1910, I have examined at the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates' office and my own, all
30
applicants for employment tickets, and have given health certifi- cates to such children as I have found in sufficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work which they in- tend to do.
H. G. WEBBER, M. D., Medical Inspector.
Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
To the School Committee of Wilbraham.
Madam and Gentlemen :
The report of the schools for the current year is herewith presented.
Last June our schools graduated but one member -- a boy,- who entered the Technical high of Springfield in September. We now have four members in Springfield Technical High, one in High School of Commerce, two in Palmer High, five in Ludlow High and twenty in Wesleyan Academy.
A class of eleven in North Wilbraham and another of four members from Springfield street school are now fitting for higher work and we hope to graduate the entire number at the close of the spring term.
At the end of the year our teacher of drawing gave up the position which for two years she had filled so acceptably, and at the same time we parted with our highly esteemed teacher of music, Miss Howard. Late in the summer, Miss Johnson from the primary department of the Springfield street school and Miss Titcomb, principal at North Wilbraham, tendered their resignations. Well-earned advancement to the last-named position was then tendered Miss Morgan, and, by her acceptance a change in the Intermediate room of that building was made imperative. No other changes occured until November, when Miss Mack was forced by serious illness to place a temporary substitute where for several years she had so efficiently served the town. The vacancies have all been filled by excellent teachers, each of whom merits from us the high commendations won in other places.
82
The work in music has been progressive, following lines prescribed in the Weaver system which has been in use here for a number of years. The course in drawing has varied some- what, as more industrial work is now everywhere demanded. Interest and constant improvement have been noted.
For some years, the boys of the upper grades in North Wilbraham have worked with carpenters' tools in a basement room shop fitted for that purpose. I think this privilege should now be extended to similar classes on Springfield street and that sewing should be introduced, as a regular feature, in the schools at The Pines.
The buildings are now all supplied with water tanks and "the deadly drinking cup" has disappeared. A sink has been placed in the entry at the Mile tree and the impression, as one enters, is far more pleasing than formerly. This improvement might well be made in the other buildings outside the village.
Because of the hour and the approaching close of the term, the teachers were unable to accept the invitation of the Woman's Club to attend the lecture on "Agriculture in Public Schools," delivered by Professor Hart of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, but the children in North Wilbraham were dismissed for an hour, at the time the cars which were sent out by the college to exhibit results of approved methods passed through that village.
On account of the dryness of the season and earlier prev- · alence of infantile paralysis it was thought best to decline the invitation and the free tickets to the Palmer Fair. Disappoint- ment and gratification were about equally expressed and if error was made it was certainly made with the good of the children in view.
The evening school closed about the first of April and reopened early in October with a somewhat smaller, but no less interested and enthusiastic attendance. Until Christmas the sewing was taught by Mrs. Perry. Since then it has been under the charge of Miss Baldwin. The total number has been ten. The class in woodwork has enrolled nine boys and has been taught by Mr. Russell Grant of Springfield. Save for the
.
cost of lighting and slight extra heating, the expense has again been borne by a private citizen. The following articles have been made :
By Girls, skirts, stocking bags, skate bags, sofa pillows.
By Boys, pantaloon holders, coat hangers, towel-rollers, knife boxes, tabourettes, sleeve board.
The year has been one of fair improvement. As a rule the pupils have given evidence of increased interest and effort and we have no reason to complain of general carelessness or in- difference.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY L. POLAND.

Report of the Supervisor of Music.
Miss Mary L. Poland, Superintendent of Schools :
Any words of commendation regarding the instruction of music in the public schools of Wilbraham under the direction of Miss Mary E. Howard (Mrs. Horace Green) would be su- perfluous. Her personality and ability are both too well known to require any word of recommendation from me. In succeed- ing her as Supervisor of Music I found what I expected to find, a well-defined system of instruction, the effectiveness of which is seen in the every-day school singing.
During the current year I have visited the schools every two weeks, and am pleased to state that without exception I have found the teachers cordial, faithful, and untiring in their efforts to obtain the best results with the children in their music. For the number of pupils, Wilbraham has a large percentage of good voices, and in the upper grades especially there is good musical appreciation.
The singing from notes requires great concentration of mind, quickness of vision and activity of brain. The childish imagination is quickened and developed and his power of self- expression greatly increased. In the first three grades we have worked especially for good tone quality. The children have learned many rote songs, thus creating the power of self-expres- sion and at the same time discerning between musical and harsh tones. Thus they learn to sing with a soft quality of voice and with interest and expression.
In the intermediate grades individual sight-singing, written work and ear training characterize the work done. At the same time we have not lost sight of the fact that the song as such is the aim and end of all musical instruction in the school, and that all technical drill should apply directly to it.
87
In the advanced grades the pupils are expected to recite on all the subject-matter studied in the previous grades, and in ad- dition are required to know the major and minor scales, and to be able to construct them correctly, using any pitch as key note. Also they should be able to sing with words and intelligent inter- pretation many songs of the best composers.
Respectfully submitted,
PHOEBE HOOPER, Supervisor of Music. February 20, 1911.
Report of the Supervisor of Drawing.
Miss Mary L. Poland, Superintendent of Schools :
The work in Drawing and Manual training began in the fall with studies of flowers and leaves, and resulted in a very interesting set of nature drawings. Following this work several weeks were spent in constructive work, making boxes, wall pockets, calendars, furniture, log cabins, India tents, and many other Thanksgiving and Christmas souvenirs. These problems all required careful planning and measuring on the part of the child, and thus excellence in constructed objects was developed and true standards of judgment established.
In several of the schools, sand tables have been introduced. These take the place in part of illustrative drawing. There is no better way for the teacher to present salient facts of history, geography, etc., than to have the class work them out with their hands. Ideas grasped in this manner are never forgotten; the interest of the class is increased ten fold : and all the while the pupils are learning to draw in the easiest and most natural man- ner.
The manual training work at North Wilbraham is still very fascinating and helpful to the boys. They have made pantaloon and coat hangers, plant stands, joints, teapot stands and tabour- ettes. The work is of a high standard, as only accurate results will be accepted.
In the grammar room on Springfield street the pupils are making a brass desk set. They designed the corners to the blotter first, and this same design will be carried out throughout the set, thus making a very interesting problem.
It is a pleasure to find the subject received with such interest by the teachers and pupils. As a result of careful su- pervision under the teachers and hard work on the part of the pupils, very creditable results have been achieved.
Respectfully submitted,
MARJORIE FRANCES FLETCHER,
Supervisor of Drawing.
