SCHOOL MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Wilbraham, Mass., Feb. 23, 1914.
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 inspection have been in- frequent.
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 cer- tificates to such children as I have found in sufficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work they intend to do.
Under the Acts of 1913 I have inspected at the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates' office such applicants for employ- ment tickets of illiterate minors between sixteen and twenty- one years, and have signed for them such certificate as the act requires.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Wilbraham.
Madam and Gentlemen :
The winter and spring terms of 1913 were broken by the illness of the principal and of the teacher of the intermediate department in North Wilbraham, and by the necessary ab- sence of the principal of the Springfield Street School. Never- theless, by the kindness of substitutes and the redoubled ef- forts of teachers and pupils, a class of fifteen members was graduated in Grace Chapel, North Wilbraham, on the thir- teenth of June.
Of this number six were from Springfield Street, seven from North Wilbraham and two from Glendale.
North Wilbraham-Helen Atchinson, Central High, Springfield. North Wilbraham-Marjorie Bell, Technical High, Springfield.
Glendale-Mildred Bennett, High School of Commerce, Springfield.
Springfield St .- Harold Bolles, Wilbraham Academy.
North Wilbraham-Margaret Cormack, High School of Commerce, Springfield.
Glendale-Elva Day, High School of Commerce, Spring- field.
North Wilbraham-Mildred Fuller, High School of Com- merce, Springfield.
North Wilbraham-Mary Garvey, High School of Com- merce, Springfield.
North Wilbraham-Howard Marshall, High School of Commerce, Springfield.

The following resignations and changes of teachers have taken place since the writing of the last report :
Stony Hill-Miss Emily Childs, teaching in Newton.
Mile Tree-Miss Laura Rice, Mrs. Barnes, Washington, D. C.
Springfield St. Primary-Miss Frances Ronaldson, teach- ing in Springfield.
No. 5-Miss Maude Griffin, transferred to North Wil- braham Primary.
North Wilbraham Gr .- Miss Edith Ryder, at home in Vermont.
North Wilbraham Int .- Miss Julia Ford, teaching in Springfield. North Wilbraham P .- Miss Alice Hall, teaching in Brockton.
Supervisor of Manual Arts-Miss Merle Kibbe, Assist- ant Supervisor in New Britain, Conn.
It is a matter of congratulation that although we each year lose a number of teachers of promise, we have been able
45
to retain others who, by marked ability and long acquaintance with local conditions, have greatly increased the efficiency of our schools.
In the great event of the year-the celebration of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of the town - the children had some part. Coming as it did, after the schools had closed, an assembling of the entire number was imprac- ticable, and some sections were not represented, but a con- siderable number, from this town and from Hampden, joined in the morning procession, and, in the afternoon, rendered some selections in the Methodist Church, under the direction of their teacher of music, Miss Hooper. The lack of complete participation was rendered less unfortunate by the anticipa- tion of this occasion a year ago, when the entire body of school children joined with the class of 1912 in historical ex- ercises at the time of their graduation.
The fall term opened with five new members in the corps of regular teachers and with another supervisor of manual arts, who came to us from large, varied and most successful experience in other parts of the State. Under her direction the work has grown to proportions demanding larger ex- penditure of time and money.
On the 9th of December, the schools of Stony Hill, Spring- field Street, the Mile Tree, Glendale and No. 5 received visits from Mr. A. R. Jenks, of the Hampden County Improve- ment League, who interested the pupils in organizing poultry clubs. Several citizens were in attendance at Glendale, and a special prize, to be given the most successful among the young poultry raisers, was offered by a gentleman who was present. The buildings not visited at that time are all located on the line of the trolley cars and may be favored later in the season.
Beyond reasonable attempts to preserve the reputation for neatness, little has been attempted on the school grounds. Another year should witness greater effort and accomplish- ment.
The privileges of Springfield Public Library, which for
46
several years have been enjoyed by teachers of two of the towns in this superintendency, have, through your courtesy, been extended to the teachers of this town. The removal of our library to more commodious quarters has brought the books within ready reach of the pupils, and closer co-opera- tion is confidently expected.
Towns not maintaining high schools within their own limits are now obliged to pay transportation for pupils attend- ing high schools in other places, provided such charges do not exceed one dollar and a half per week for each pupil. In compliance therewith, Wilbraham is paying the fares of the pupils enrolled as members of high schools in Springfield and Palmer.
The law of June, 1913, compels the attendance of all chil- dren between the ages of seven and fourteen during the en- tire time school is in session, unless they are receiving ap- proved instruction at home or are physically or mentally in- capacitated. It also requires attendance of every person under sixteen who does not possess " such ability to read, write or spell in the English language as is required for the completion of the fourth grade in the city or town where he resides." " Employment certificates " and " special home permits" are issued for children of required qualification and " educational certificates," stating the ability or lack of ability to read and write, are furnished for girls between sixteen and eighteen, and for boys between sixteen and twenty-one. In October, 1913. 253 illiterate minors residing in this town were employed by the Ludlow Manufacturing Associates, and four were enrolled by the Collins Paper Mill in North Wilbraham.
The issuance of certificates for all classes of employed minors has greatly increased the clerical and medical service. The law, though sometimes misunderstood or wrongly inter- preted, was framed in the interest of the children, and will, in time, undoubtedly be recognized as a safeguard and a highly creditable act.
Respectfully submitted,
January 10, 1914.

Miss Mary L. Poland, Superintendent of Schools :
Report of Supervisor of Music
" The Music Course " remains practically the same as last year. Better results are obtained year after year, due in a great measure to the faithfulness of the teachers, who are anxious to advance the standard of work in music.
In all of the grades the pupils look forward to the music period with pleasure, and in general marked enthusiasm char- acterizes the lesson. So that in the upper grades we are able constantly to study more difficult compositions. During the past year we have rendered creditably selections from some of the noted composers, as Brahms, Mendelssohn, etc.
The sight translation of a piece of music requires a thor- ough knowledge of the fundamental principles of staff nota- tion, and the ability to sing a melody independently is con- vincing proof of the knowledge and power gained. It is im- portant to continue the individual slips through the grammar grades. When the boy's voice begins to change he has a feel- ing that he can no longer sing, but, if he can sing alone, he can take his part in the class singing.
The results obtained from written and theoretical tests given at stated intervals have been increasingly satisfactory. The regular written exercises are accomplished during the singing of the individual slips. This saves time to the entire class, while one pupil is singing and also keeps all busy.
The song is the aim and end of all music instruction in the schools. In the primary grades the Rote song is an im- portant phase of our work, and we have learned some songs which develop the imagination and artistic sense of the child. The singing games give healthful exercise to the little folks, and the fact that they do them with enthusiasm helps in self-
51
expression and grace of movement.
Each school had its Christmas program. These special day exercises give opportunity for entertainment and recrea- tion which is in accordance with the interests of the child's nature.
Through the efforts of the energetic teachers, the Victrola has already become a reality at the Center School, and a series of entertainments are being given both at the Center and North Wilbraham to purchase instruments. The Victrola can be used in a most helpful way by choosing only those things which have educational value. By listening to the great artists, both vocal and instrumental, the children learn the different kinds of voices and instruments, and learn to discriminate be- tween the different qualities of tone through careful shading and expression. The varied uses of the instrument and its value in each line are just beginning to be realized.
The music for the graduation exercises held in the Con- gregational Church at North Wilbraham, in June, was fur- nished by the graduates, consisting of a vocal solo by Harold Bolles, piano solo by Marie Martin, and three chorus num- bers, all of which were creditably rendered.
