I feel that the citizens should know of the commendable work done by our Parent-Teacher Association. The members are ever mindful of our children. To them we are indebted for
66
our playground equipment, shrubbery, library books, our yearly Christmas party, and many other things.
A newly organized Parent-Teacher Association which will serve the needs of the three schools of our town is being antici- pated. It is my sincere desire that this new organization will be as helpful as the existing Parent-Teacher Association.
Thanks are due, in great measure, to Mr. Sawyer, Mrs. Brady, Mrs. Merrill, and our supervisors for their continued helpfulness.

Report of the PRINCIPAL OF THE NORTH WILBRAHAM SCHOOL
To Mr. Edmund R. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools:
To achieve growth in education pupils must be challenged to think clearly, to discuss freely and learn by doing. The reorganization of our school so that each classroom has one grade makes more nearly possible the ideal situation of a cooperative activity group where teacher and pupils together may think problems through and carry out the many activities of the school program of today.
It does not mean, however, that we will have no place for drill in skills, for if material taught is worth learning for future retention, pupils must be willing to learn also the discipline of the tedious tasks.
Our problem in these middle grades is to train our boys and girls through discussion and activities to become self-reliant and also to overcome the feelings of self-sufficiency and resent- ment of the restraints of authority which many of our children have acquired in these past war years.
Our new organization permits departmental work in science, music, and handwriting. The science classes have a very creditable collection of insects which has been mounted for our museum.
From our paper salvage proceeds we purchased a record playing machine and started a library of records for music appreciation. This has been added to by the generosity of the Parent-Teacher Association.
67
The Library Hour, under Mrs. DuBray's guidance, has been continued and has greatly stimulated an interest in read- ing and the use of reference materials. From gifts of the Book Groups of the Wilbraham Women's Club and from our paper salvage funds several new books have been added to the school library shelves.
Again this year we are enrolled one hundred per cent in the Junior Red Cross. During the past year we knitted an afghan and a lap robe, filled six educational and six gift boxes for children in the war torn countries. Favors and place-mats for holiday parties were sent to Westover Field and the Vet- erans' Hospital at Bedford. A contribution of money was given to the National Children's Fund.
These projects were financed by money received for waste paper collected and sold to the Collins Manufacturing Com- pany. Since September, 1944, fifteen tons of paper were brought to the school and sold for $201.15. We have two United States bonds, purchased for future use.
Our sale of stamps and bonds since January, 1945, has reached a total of $1,807.50.
Assemblies in observance of holidays have been conducted in each grade and will be continued through the year. The art and music departments have helped with these assemblies. We appreciate their help and the gifts of the Parent-Teacher Association and the Book Groups of the Women's Club.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART
To Mr. Edmund R. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools:
And "some brought gold and frankincense."
We as parents and teachers are working with the most priceless possessions in our towns, and what are we bringing to them?
As a nation we have been giving them gold and frankincense when many of them needed loving and spanking. We as a nation have set false values on material things and failed to appreciate the beauty that is free.
68
Some of us still must see our pictures in gold frames to appreciate them, failing to realize that beauty is all around us, especially here in New England with its changing seasons. We must teach our children to see and feel this beauty.
Through our own attitudes we can teach our children the joy of work accomplished. Many children today are coming to school, proud to show us the handwork of their mothers. More and more boys are telling us of workshops in their basements and their father's help. Children are basically sound; they don't want to be bad, they want to be busy.
Our aims in the art course are the same as in the past, appreciation and accomplishment. This year we have been busier than ever before, helping with Bond drives, War Chest contributions, and Junior Red Cross. The children have made hundreds of favors, place-mats, and decorations for veterans in hospitals here and to send overseas. Fifteen afghans were made in the three towns of this union. Many of the child- ren learned to knit at school.
Last year we distributed about 3,000 trees in the schools, bringing the total for the past few years to approximately 25,000 trees. Of course not all have lived, but the majority have, and these will increase in beauty year after year. One of the best things we can teach our children is love of nature.
We have been very fortunate in our schools in the matter of supplies, but there is a great need in all of the schools for a place properly equipped for the children to have shop work. What some of them have done in spite of a proper place and equipment is amazing. To ask boys of junior high age to work on paper continually is unfair, to say the least.
In planning for this post-war period, let us take time to appreciate what we have. Let us provide for our children those things which will make for a well-rounded development. Let us remember that gold and frankincense alone will never build memories or plan the foundation for a future. We need the home, the church, and the school, working together.
In closing I wish to thank all who are so cooperative and so patient. It always seems to me that most of the credit for the supervisor's work should go to the teachers. They are the ones who carry on and see the work to completion. Without their help little could be accomplished.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF HANDWRITING
To Mr. Edmund R. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools:
I am pleased to submit the following report on the opera- tion of the handwriting program in your Wilbraham schools for the school year of 1944-45.
In the initial handwriting test administered in September of 1938, 11.9% of the pupils scored "A" (Excellent); 22.1 % made "B" (Good); and 65.8 % received grades below "B". In the tests administered in June, 1945, 90.9 % of the pupils scored "A" (Excellent); 7.1 % made "B" (Good); and 1.9 % were graded below "B". Handwriting certificates were awarded to 97 % of your graduates. This indicates excellent improv- ment and achievement.
During the past year approximately 2,600 formal and 7,800 informal papers were graded.
We furnished the following materials for your teachers and pupils :- monthly teacher outlines, pupil outline folders, room motivation certificates, individual handwriting certificates for the eighth grade pupils who qualified, term testing paper, monthly and term envelopes, seals, etc.
In general, I am pleased with the results obtained and wish to take this opportunity to thank you and your teachers for the fine cooperation I have received.
Sincerely yours,
W. L. RINEHART
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To Mr. Edmund R. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools:
It has been my aim, this first semester, to lay emphasis on the individual child in both singing and the theory of music, from the first to the eighth grade. With a firm foundation, the children can progress to a new understanding in both apprecia- tion and performance of good music.
We have been very fortunate in securing Mr. Al Stroh- man to teach instrumental music. I anticipate a great develop- ment in this group for future performances. I would like to urge parents to take advantage of this splendid opportunity
70
to introduce their children to an interesting and worthwhile organization.
Music inspired our nation in the trying days of war and contributed to our great victory. It will continue playing an even more important role in these days of peace.
I wish to thank all the members of the school department for their cooperation and interest.
Respectfully submitted, PHYLLIS SMITH
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
To Mr. Edmund R. Sawyer, Superintendent of Schools:
Vaccinations, immunizations, physical examinations, gen- eral inspection in controlling any infectious or contagious dis- eases, testing vision, weighing pupils, and making recommenda- tions to parents based on the above activities have constituted the work of the physician, dentist, and school nurse.
The findings of the Selective Service reveal that many defects prevented the men from serving in the armed forces. If this is so necessary for war, it would seem that it would be even more important that these defects be corrected in childhood so that when they go along life's way they may be more capable of facing problems as civilians and not wait for a war to spur them on.
With more of our doctors and dentists returning, maybe we'll see more attention given these situations.
It is hoped that in the near future it will be possible to consider the purchase of an audiometer so that we will not have to borrow one from the State Department.
Respectfully submitted,
SIGNE L. POLSON, R. N.

Tree Warden
Pruning of Roadside trees was continued on Dipping Hole Road where the highway had been "lifted" by removing low branches to give safe clearance above the roadway, and neces- sary pruning and dead tree removal was done at the same time. This clearance program will have to be continued along with all necessary pruning to improve driving visibility on town highways.
All Elms on Main Street and Springfield Street, Faculty Street and the south end of Stony Hill Road were sprayed for the Elm Leaf Beetle.

REPORT OF THE Visiting Nurse Association OF SPRINGFIELD
The program in Wilbraham for the year 1945, has been the same as in previous years with the exception of the develop- ment of a more extensive nursing service. This was made possible when Wilbraham was admitted to the Community Chest area last February. While the volume of nursing service has not met expectations, it is hoped that the community will use it to greater advantage in 1946.
The annual Well-Child Conference was most satisfactory both in numbers and from the standpoint of the health of the preschool population. Dr. Lorne MacLean, physician in attendance found few defects and few dental caries. There were fewer enlarged tonsils than in previous years and of this number only four were recommended for removal. Operations for these four have been completed.

Miss Florence Dorward and Mrs. Barbara Sheldon of the Springfield Nurtition Bureau, gave able advice on nutrition problems of the individual and of the family. Mrs. Nelson and her committee worked hard and faithfully to make this conference a success.

Our aims for 1946 should be:
1. More general use of the nursing and family health service.
2. Vaccinations at an earlier age.
3. Reactivation of the 47 children who did not attend clinic in 1945.
4. Correction of defects noted in physical findings.
It has been a satisfaction to receive such whole-hearted cooperation from Dr. MacLean, Miss Boden, the town officers, Mrs. Nelson and her committee and the members of the com- munity. For this, please accept my grateful thanks.
