REPORT OF SUPERVISOR
OF MANUAL TRAINING
Beverly, Massachusetts, December 19, 1931.
To Members of the Beverly School Committee:
I hereby submit the annual report of the manual training work in the elementary
schools of Beverly.
MANUAL TRAINING
With the exception of three classes, Mr. Robert Waite instructs in this department,
and to him much credit is given for the interest displayed by the boys.
This interest is kept alive by the variety of projects which boys are allowed
to make in a shop period. In grade eight, a visit to a shop period will disclose
boys working on bird houses which are made from rough box 'boards to the more
finished book case being made from white wood.
In grades seven and eight, as Mr. Waite's report shows, a wide variety of
projects were made. Sixty-nine different projects were made, with a grand
total of seven hundred and twelve for grades seven and eight.
