has militated against the success of the school as much
as the loss of time due to sickness, a large percentage
of which, has been preventable. Complete reports for
this department appear elsewhere in this pamphlet.
Conclusion
In general, the outstanding need at the present time
is for better equipment for the Physical Education
department, and for better library facilities. The
Physical Directors' reports tell more in detail the needs
for this department. Equipment needed for the library
is mainly tables, magazines racks, and files for library
records.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation for
the unlimited co-operation shown by parents and teachers,
and to the pupils for their interest in school improvements.
Also, we appreciate the fine co-operation
which we have received from those in charge of the
town library.
Respectfully submitted,
LINDSAY J. MARCH,
Principal.
REPORT OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT
To Superintendent Walter J. Rideout:
I hereby submit my second annual report as Music
Supervisor of the public schools of Dover-Foxcroft and
Music Director of Foxcroft Academy for the year
1928-1929.
The aim for our school music is the "appreciation of
good music on the part of the child."
Our methods of procedure are carried on in the same
ma-i:er as explained in the report of 1927-1928 so it
seems unnecessary to recapitulate.
Weekly visits are made to each grade in the town
schools. One day and a half is spent in the rural
schools each week. This results in a weekly visit to
each, school and this schedule has been carried on with
very few exceptions.
