RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR 1917.
To the Parents.
1. A stronger cooperation in the details of attendance, absence, tardiness and dismissals.
2. More prompt action in the matter of vaccinations or in the furnishing of the physician's certificate required by the State law.
3. More frequent visits to the schools for the purposes of encouraging teachers and of promoting a greater mutual understanding of the problems of childhood.
4. The presentation of criticisms, and of suggestions for improvement to the proper administrative authority, the Superinendent of Schools, whose office hour will be at the Library building on the third Monday in each month from 4:00 to 5:00 P. M.
To the Town.
The entrance upon a policy of improvement in the mat- ter of its rural schools, namely, the putting of at least one each year upon the basis recommended by the Joint Com- mittee on Health Problems in Education of the National Council of the National Education Association, and also by the Council on Health and Public Instruction of the Ameri- can Medical Association.
THE WEAKEST SPOT IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
School attendance, as represented especially by the tardiness and dismissals.
(The responsibility for this rests upon the parents.)
42
THE YEAR'S ACHIEVEMENTS.
1. The adoption of an eight-grade system.
2. A definite and complete course of study.
3. A simple, modern and efficient record system.

Report of Supervisor of Manual Arts
This year's outline is divided into Representation, De- sign, Objective, Printing, Construction and Illustration work.
It is not so many years since the art training of our public schools was of a character that had no definite ap- plication in view. Children were taught to draw circles, squares, diagonals, and to reproduce their impressions of still-life objects, merely to train their eyes and fingers for whatever future application their ability to draw might fit them for. But there was no attempt to guide their artistic efforts toward channels that would definitely develop in the individual instincts that would be applicable to certain dif- ferent trades or occupations. It was merely a case of the study of art for art's sake. Ability to draw is important as a means to an end ; it should not be considered as an end itself. The outline this year forms an admirable basis for later definite art training along professional lines; but it is in the general application of art knowledge that the theory of present-day art training finds its greatest value. It is important that those who can learn to draw should be taught how to draw, but of the thousands who study, the large ma- jority, perhaps, will never be able to register any particular advance in the art fields. In the years to come these school children who do not become artists will be able to make use of their art training in the purchase of furnishings, or clothing, and in business enterprises, reflecting an elevation of taste and a broadening of art appreciation.
In manual training the interest of the boys is very en- couraging. Long experience has demonstrated that wood- working provides an opportunity for inculcating habits of neatness, order and exactness.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMINE T. COWLES.
Report of Supervisor of Music
My Dear Miss Taft :
Entering upon the work of supervision in the Wilbra- ham schools, I found the work well established and have continued the method in which the schools were already well graded.
The reading of music at sight is made the basis of the study. This includes a knowledge of the note family, of keys and key signatures, chords, phrases and rhythm.
The work during the past brief term has been greatly aided by the interest shown by the teachers and the good will of the pupils.
Respectfully submitted, BERTHA HEBERT.
School Medical Inspection
Wilbraham, Mass., January 8, 1917.
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 pupils 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 applicants for employment tickets, and have given health or age certificates to such children as I have found in suf- ficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work they intend to do.
