39 ,38 ANNUAL. REPORT OF Report of Supervisor of Music To the Superintendent of Schools: I beg to submit the following report: Music should have a place in every school for rich and poor alike; not in the old-fashioned way by teaching the chi-ldrenrto shout songs by rote, but by teaching them tosing from notes in order that in after life the treasures of music may be available to them. Let music take its place side by side with spelling, reading and arithmetic. The regular class teacher can do as much good with the rudiments of music instruction as she can with other subjects if she is familiar with simple principles which underlie the best methods of sight singing. The aim of school music is not to prepare the child for any specific musical performance or to sing for recreational purposes, but to give him a training that will enable him to meet any musical situation. To acciomplish this end, the reading of music like the reading of literature, is naturally the first task. In other words, the aim of the supervisor is to teach the rules of music and how to use them and leave their application to the pupil himself. I have found the work in the rural schools satisfactory. Good sound technical work is being taught daily and in theory good results have been accompi lished. i Chorus work in the High school is improving each period. A class in simple music technic was started

40 TOWN OF MAPLETON 39 last fall for those students who never had music. Although the interest tahen by the pupils in this school is pleasing, we cannot accomplish great results under the present crowded conditions. The introduction of folk dances and singing games into the school work this year has aroused much interest in the lower grades. I wish to thank you, the committee, teachers and pupils for the interest shown in the work and the assistance I have received. I trust that the schools will show improvement from now on. Respectfully submitted LUONA IVA SYLVESTER Supervisor of Music

42 TOWN OF MAPLETON 41 Teachers Meeting Second Saturday of each school month, 1.15 p. m., at the High School building. ' To the School Committee: r I have the honor of submitting to you the report of the school department of the town of Mapleton for the year ending February 28, In spite of unusual conditions, we have been able to maintain our schools. But for the help of several, local teachers, we should have suffered from the shortage. r * *» > I ^ Medical Inspection It ought to require no argument to convince us that we are in need of a school physician and a school nurse. The health of our children must receive first consideration. i Industrial Courses In order to connect the work of our schools with the practical everyday life of the pupils, we should introduce courses in agricultural, domestic science and manual training. Through the good work of Miss Eunice H. Niles, County Demonstration Agent, nearly all of the teachers are helping the children to prepare at least one hot dish for the noon lunch. This plan is meeting with favor. The other courses would receive loyal support in the homes.

43 I / 42 ANNUAL REPORT OF High School i * The plan outlined by the state in its pamphlet The Junior-Senior High SchooT is being carried out in the village schools this year. The first three grades are cared for at the New Mill school; grades four, five and six at the Old Mill school and the rest in the high school building. Grades seven, eight, and the freshmen make up the junior high school. The sophomore, junior and senior classes constitute the senior high school. We have added one instructor to the teaching force, and we are in need of another. \ The question of more room is one,, that must receive serious attention. If a part of the lower floor of the Grange building could be rented, it would supply some of the extra space needed. Our high school is in a healthy, growing condition. It is already a strong factor in the life of the community. With adequate support its usefulness will increase1from year to year.

46 TOWN OF MAPLETON 45 vided for all the schools that were not supplied bejfore. At the high school building the assembly room has been divided into two class rooms by the use of curtains, and a corridor has been made into a typewriter room. A gutter has been placed upon the4front porch. The students have fitted up a portion of the basement for a kitchen and dining room in connection with the noon lunch. The office of the superintendent has been equipped with a roll top desk, a filing cabinet, an oil heater, an electric radiator, book shelves and box files for the records of each school. An office desk and a teacher's desk have been placed in the commerical room. Two typewriters, a few desks and some chairs have been purchased. A * moderate quantity of scientific apparatus has been procured. New blackboards should be ordered for the Packard school. The toilets and shed should be arranged so as to be entered from the school room. The Old Mill school should have a furnace for the basement. The Hugh school building needs a steel ceiling in the assembly room. Each year two or three schoolhouses should be put in first class condition. Books r The schools have been reasonably will provided with text books. Some books and periodicals have been added to the high school library and to the office bookshelves. The work of the coming year will demand many new books.
