The paramount object of our primary school is that of starting our little children out in a way which will lead to a full life. In other words, the teaching of citizenship is our most important duty. We have a golden opportunity, too. The little folks come to us for their first three years of school. They are receptive and eager to do the right thing in most cases. The parents here are exceptionally cooperative. Our joy is great as we guide these little citizens and observe marked changes. Our teachers are constantly on the alert to point out and have the child evaluate and determine the better way. Citizenship is taught as effectively on the playground as in the classroom.


Our next task in order of importance is the teaching of reading. How valuable a tool it is! How much a teacher has given a child if she has taught him to read! It is often times difficult for a parent, who is not familiar with teaching, to realize there is nothing wrong with his child or his teacher if his child cannot read just as well as the next one at the very same date. We have found that the time when a child is ready to read varies greatly with each individual. Some are ready to learn to read during the first month of school, others nearer the last month, and still others not until the beginning of the second school year. Consequently, the larger percentage of repeaters is always in the primary grades. A parent should realize that it is more of an unkindness to advance a child who is not ready than to repeat him.


Our teachers are doing an exceptionally fine piece of work in this field, I'm very sure. This year, in my third grade of twenty-four pupils, I consider eighty-three percent of them excellent or very good readers. The other seventeen percent are fair and good readers.


Daily I am reminded that we must do more to improve the speech of our children. Parents can also do more with their children in this respect. A normal child can be trained to articulate clearly, enunciate carefully, and produce a voice which has a pleasing tone. Right now we are formulating plans for improving the speech of our children and urge parents to demand better speech while the child is at home.


The enrolment in our school is constantly increasing. We teachers were very much concerned that it was necessary to


74


transfer nineteen little first graders to The Pines last Septem- ber. During the few days they were with us we came to know how much we would have enjoyed their being members of our school. How much the new building will be appreciated when it becomes a reality!


In closing, I would like to give the kindest tribute possible to my two teachers, Mrs. Clara Merrill and Mrs. Marguerite Brady. They are doing a grand job. The children who attend Springfield Street school are fortunate indeed to have them for teachers.


It has been a pleasant year working with you, Mr. Truell, and with the school nurse and supervisors, and if I have done any small thing to make your work and their's more enjoyable, I am indeed glad.

Report of the PRINCIPAL OF THE NORTH WILBRAHAM SCHOOL


To Mr. Harold A. Truell, Superintendent of Schools:


"Today we are faced with the fact that we must develop the ability of all peoples of all kinds to live together in the same world, at peace." With this thought before us your theme for the school year "Citizenship" has become a part of the daily program of each teacher in this school. The task of the school today is to give our children preparation for citizenship in a democracy. We have tried to develop the qualities of toler- ance, honesty, sense of responsibility and respect. Our greatest emphasis has been upon respect, for this quality may take so many forms, respect for authority, for culture, for the aged, for another person, for public property and for self. Each of these requires constant teaching. In fact today there can be no lesson that does not have as its primary aim the making of citizens who will be loyal to the democractic ideal and able to live together with other peoples of all kinds, at peace.


We have continued our teaching of thrift through the sale of savings stamps and bonds, and this year have sold $529.45 worth of stamps which is less than one-third of the amount sold in each of the war years.


75


Our school is again one hundred per cent enrolled in American Junior Red Cross which gives our pupils an oppor- tunity for service for others. Table favors for Veterans' Hos- pitals have been made in the art classes, our large holiday bulletin posters have been sent to children's hospitals, and a larger than usual money contribution was made this year to the National Children's Fund.


We are carrying on the library program again this year. Each week one class goes to the town library with the teacher and may have two books and a magazine for reading at home or in the free reading period in class.


From a contribution given to us by one of the Book Groups in the Wilbraham Women's Club we purchased an album of Christmas records for our music collection and the remaining sum will be used for decorative flower containers for the class- rooms.


At the school picnic held at Twin Chimneys our pupils had a most enjoyable day and proved themselves good citizens in respecting the property of others. The whole school ap- preciates the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nelson and of Bernard Tupper who gave his day to act as life guard during the swimming period.


On Wednesday of American Education Week we had thirty-four visitors and several others during the week. The regular work of the school's daily program was carried on and in free times the teachers and parents were able to confer on mutual problems.


The teachers of the school are all enrolled in the National Education Association as they have been since 1941.


We are looking forward to beginning the new term in our newly decorated classrooms and feel that for pupils and teachers alike working in clean, fresh rooms will be conducive to har- monious living and learning.


To the supervisors, teachers and parents, for their help and cooperation, I extend my sincere appreciation.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART


To Mr. Harold A. Truell, Superintendent of Schools:


We were asked to use Citizenship as our theme for the year. With that in mind, let us consider what citizenship means and how an Art course can help in the teaching of it.


The dictionary defines citizenship as the rights or con- dition of a citizen, and a citizen as an inhabitant of a city or town. We are all interested in making good citizens; now let us consider some of the requisites and how an art class can help to develop them.


A good citizen should be-


Cooperative. Working with others becomes easy with a common absorbing interest.


Tolerant. We find that other peoples' ideas may not be like ours, they may be better.


Appreciative. We learn to appreciate the work of others, the beauty of nature and the people around us.


Ambitious. Children learn the joy of creative, constructive work.


Happy. There are few children who do not enjoy Art. Imagination, Originality, A Sense of Humor, Neatness, Con- fidence, and Economy can also be fostered in an Art class. Generosity is learned by sharing - gifts for others and work for the Red Cross.


The course of study changes little year by year, only the presentation, the application and materials used. This year we have tried to spend a part of each Art lesson in the printing of something beautiful and worthwhile.


The printing has improved noticeably and the children are making a collection of poems they will be glad to keep.


One of the poems we have printed that follows along the theme of Citizenship is the following :


It isn't Your Town ... It's You If you want to live in the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like You shouldn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind For there's nothing that's really new It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town It isn't your town - it's YOU.


77


Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead; And if while you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one too, Your town will be what you want to see,


It isn't your town - it's YOU.


Author unknown


Since comparatively few children ever use art as a vocation, art educators today are more interested in what the child gets out of the lesson himself and less in what he puts on paper.


The children have made several hundred paper hats and place mats for the Red Cross and have made some beautiful decorations for the classrooms and halls. We are saving these to give to the Red Cross also, to be used next year in the hos- pitals.


There is great need for manual training in the schools, a place and materials. It is to be hoped that if and when new buildings are built, there will be a proper place and equipment for manual training, for craft work, a printing press, a good- sized kiln, and a dark room for photography. These would not only benefit the children but would be a great source of pleasure and profit to the townspeople for use in evening classes. There is so much talent wasted by people who never had the chance, the place or the equipment for handwork. Hospitals everywhere have proved the need of it for its therapeutic value.


In closing, I want to thank all connected with the schools for their cooperation. It has been greatly appreciated. As for teachers, without their interest and help, any supervisor could accomplish little. We have a fine group of teachers in the union, working harder than most people realize, trying to make good citizens of your children.


Respectfully submitted, HELEN BARTLETT TOWER Supervisor of Art


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF HANDWRITING


To Mr. Harold A. Truell, 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 1946-1947.


78


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, 1947, 84.6% of the pupils scored "A" (Excellent); 11.5% made "B" (Good); and 3.9% were graded below "B". Handwriting Certificates were awarded to 100% of your graduates. This indicates excellent improvement and achievement.


During the past year approximately 2,700 formal and 8,100 informal papers were graded.


We furnished the following materials for your teachers and pupils :- monthly teachers outlines, pupil outline folders, . room motivation certificates, individual handwriting cer- tificates for the eighth grade pupils who qualified, handedness tests, monthly and term envelopes, seals, etc.


My supervisors join with me in expressing our apprecia- tion of the splendid cooperation we have received from you and your teachers at all times.


We are very pleased with the results obtained in your schools.


Sincerely yours,


W. L. RINEHART


Supervisor of Handwriting


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC


To Mr. Harold A. Truell, Superintendent of Schools:


This has been a busy year in our music department. In each class we have conscientiously strived for better quality of performance and a better understanding of all phases of our music.


During the first week of school each child's voice was tested with a phrase of a song and a scale, for tone, range and singing ability. Throughout the following months, by means of special group and individual practice, we have achieved a real strengthening of the weaker voices. The most tangible im- provement is always found in the primary grades where voices


79


are in a formative stage. However, often through real co- operative effort, voices in the intermediate grades have shown vast improvement.


Our daily program has included the acquiring of an in- creasing repertoire of songs and an understanding of the theory of framework of our written music. We have also had music appreciation through listening to the polished performances of great artists on records.


Participation in folk dances, with an eye toward the de- velopment of good coordination, self confidence, and grace, and a stronger sense of rhythm has proven to be a very happy and satisfactory musical experience for all grades.


With the arrival of each holiday season we have been careful to present to our classes appropriate music. In this special music has been included not only modern tunes, but also the old melodies which have become as much a part of our national life as our laws and customs. These seasons have presented opportunities for public performance by groups of children, which is always va uable experience.


This has been a most enjoyable year in music for me, and I appreciate the understanding and cooperation of all my fellow workers.


Most sincerely, JAMIE R. WITZEL


Supervisor of Music


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To Mr. Harold A. Truell, Superintendent of Schools:


As school nurse for Wilbraham I have assisted the school physicians with vaccinations, immunizations and booster shots, and physical examinations. I have also assisted Dr. Dinneen, School Dentist, with examinations of all the child- ren's teeth. At the 38 clinics held, 99 children were given attention.


Of the total school enrolment, there are only 26 children who have not received immunization treatment to protect them from diphtheria. At North Wilbraham school one


80


hundred per cent of the pupils are immunized. Maybe at the October clinic in 1948 we can lessen the number not immunized.


To enter school every child must be vaccinated or present an exemption card from the family or school physician.


When a child enters school, he is starting on a long and strenuous journey and his association in large numbers begins. He needs to be in the best physical condition. Parents are given an opportunity to have their children checked and vac- cinated at the time they register in May. By having a child vaccinated at this time, the slight discomfort which sometimes follows is forgotten when school opens. Last May twenty-nine attended these clincis.


If parents know that their child has been exposed to con- tagion, it would be very cooperative if they kept him at home for the incubation period, and, if he comes down with the disease, report it to the school office.


Some of the other duties performed by the nurse include the weighing of all children twice annually, testing of eyes with the Massachusetts visual testing equipment, making arrange- ments for eye examinations and taking some children to the city to have eyes tested, making home calls, taking home children with temperatures or colds, and giving first aid when necessary.


For the splendid cooperation of the Lions Club, thank you. We appreciate the cooperation of Dr. Rohr of East Longmeadow for helping out when we did not have a physician.

SIGNE L. POSLON, R. N.


School Nurse

We, as members of the Wilbraham School Committee, herewith express our regret at the retirement of Mr. Willis Cutler from this board.


While associated with him, we have come to understand the great value of his part in the administration of our schools during twenty-eight years. As our chosen chairman, Mr. Cutler has been an energetic and stimulating leader, devoting himself ably and purposefully to his expressed ideals. He has always believed that our children should have the best possible education, and has consistently made certain that every decision regarding either educational policy or the spend- ing of the tax-payer's money was based upon a careful assembly and study of the facts.


Our deliberations in this group have been notable for their harmony and cordiality. It is, therefore, in sincere ap- preciation of the retiring member of our committee that we offer this footnote to the school report.
