SCHOOL REPORT 3
REPORT OF SUPERVtSOR OF MUSIC
To the Superintendent and S chool Board of Atkin
~son
,N. H .
I“ submit herewith my fourth ann
‘
r
ua l report as super
vi sor of music in the Atkinson school'
s.
The work in this department dthr ing the year ha s
progressed steadily along the usual l ines and has been
m easurably succ essful . A large percentage of the suc
c ess of the work in music is due to the constant helpful
ness of the teachers .
The Progressive Musi c Course is being used in the“ upper grades at the Center , Depot and North End. This
course furnishes a variety of exercises and songs which
are helpful and tuneful . The Holl is Dann Musi c Course
used in the upper grades at the S awyer S chool deals wi th
the problems . step by st ep and is particularly good for
part singing . I wish we might have this b o ok in more
of our s chool s next year . In the l ower grades the New
Educational Book I,works out very well in songs and
exercises the steps taken in the first four grades .
Hollis Dann Junior S ongs used for work in the High"S ch ool
,is among the very best . The song mater i al is un
‘ usually attr act ive ; there ar e some old- time favorites ;there a re many new songs composed espe cially for thi s
