Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Wilbraham.
Madam and Gentlemen :
The following teachers left us at the close of the spring term :
Mile Tree School-Miss Mary D. Chace.
Springfield St. Primary-Miss Florence Gerald.
Glendale-Miss Florence M. Moore.
Supervisor of Drawing-Miss Grace C. Smith.
Somewhat later Miss Mary E. Marsh was forced by ill health to relinquish the work in which she had rendered such faithful service and under the provisions of the Teach- ers' Retirement Law, severed her connection with the public schools of the State.
By her conscientious efforts she had raised the standard of her school to a creditable degree of proficiency. Accurate, systematic, and thorough in every detail, she required and secured from each child the best of which he was capable and, as the years pass on, her pupils will more and more fully appreciate her zealous efforts in their behalf.
We were fortunate in the new accessions to the teach- ing force and matters have progressed satisfactorily throughout the fall term.
Instead of uniting, as in previous years, each of the three ninth grades was graduated from its own room. Three pupils from Springfield Street, five from North Wil- braham, and two from Glendale were awarded diplomas. Of these, two entered the Academy, four the Technical High and three the High School of Commerce.
We are now paying high school tuition for thirteen in the Academy, twenty-elght in Springfield, and one in Ludlow.
During the spring term, under the auspices of the
39
Hampden County Improvement League, the school in North Wilbraham received some free instruction in gym- nastics and athletics. In the Athletic Meet at Forest Park, in October, when special cars were furnished for about fifteen hundred school children and their teachers, members from several of our schools participated and gained the third highest place in the sports.
Members of the League made a tour of our schools in May, and, under their direction, several from the Spring- field Street School joined the "Massachusetts Boys' and Girls' Home Economics Club." In October, when samples of their home work were exhibited in their school room, the League inspectors awarded Frederic Rice a red ribbon and Ethel Eaton, Eunice Rice and Andrew Rice blue ribbon prizes. In competition with the clubs of the entire country, Andrew Rice has since been awarded the second prize,-a trip to some place of interest in New England, while the third,-a free week in Massachusetts Agricultural College, goes to his sister, Eunice Rice. . In addition, a check for ten dollars payable "To the order of Number 4 School of Wilbraham." has been received from the office of the Treasurer of the Commonwealth accompanied- by these words: "Your Number 4 School at Wilbraham won a third prize in the contest among rural schools in the State." This money is to be used as the teacher, school committee and superintendent may think best. Other opportunities to unite with the Hampden County Home Economics Club will be given in February and larger participation is confi- dently expected.
New language books have been purchased for grades four to seven and a recent edition of Frye's Geography has been placed in grades seven and eight. By mistaken econ- omy, many books, which are too badly worn and soiled to be sanitary, are still in use. They should be replaced by fresh, new ones as soon as possible.
As in the past, the loyal service of the teachers and the kind co-operation of committee and friends have been im- portant factors in the work of the year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY S. POLAND.

Report of Supervisor of Manual Arts
Miss Mary L. Poland, Superintendent of Schools :-
In starting my work on September 8, 1914, we began the study of flowers, leaves, and fruits, thus involving a study of parts of flowers, placing of objects upon certain sized papers, and color theory, resulting in a very interesting set of nature drawings for which a cover was designed calling for decorative unit and printing.
During this time the primary grades did a little nature work, illustrating by paper cutting the stories of "Red Riding Hood" and of the "Three Bears," thus furnishing clear ideas of shape, of standards of workmanship, to assemble parts, and teaching them to think constructively.
Following this, several weeks were spent in printing, giving practise in work that is constantly in demand in social, home, and business life, learning to do it easily, quickly and well. We started with the alphabet, then signs, mottoes, and illustrated Thanksgiving cards.
After Christmas, object drawing by use of key lines was begun in the Grammar grades, enabling the children to draw any object placed before them regardless of shape, size, or distance. The primary grades began construction work, making trays, tea pots, sugar bowls and creamers, furnishing a large box as a living room, with tables, chairs, bookcases, stools, and designing rugs and curtains. This develops mechanical ingenuity, enables them to think con- structively and aids the adaptation of materials to given ends with the greatest possible aconomy of material, time, and labor.
In manual training the interest of the boys is very en- couraging. The completed objects are book-ends, shelves, stilts, eraser-cleaner box, mallet, necktie racks, plant stand, bread boards, and broom holder. Work has been begun on tabourette, vaulting standards, revolving book rack, shelf, cake spoon, and coat hangers.
Wood-working demands neatness, order and exactness.
