Contrary to the early school life of children in non-democratic countries, the school life of the American child is patterned in such a way that he is prepared for a democratic form of liv- ing. The elementary school in America devotes its efforts to those elements of study which are of common value to all persons regardless of who he is or what his future occupation may be. The school is a place where children go not only to learn but to carry on a way of life which will enable them to make adjustments in the future. Our elementary pupils have the advantage of learning under democratic-minded teachers who show boys and girls how to live efficiently, cooperatively, and harmoniously together. Along with this they must learn those essential processes, how to read, write and use numbers. Ansonia boys and girls have done several interesting projects this year which have been organized to help them learn how to live democratically. Their activities during the year have included parties, programs, educational trips, classroom projects which require cooperation and planning, educational pictures, music and art. The lower classes presented an operetta and other programs during the year to adult groups. Miss Webber directed these particular projects. Music in the Grades The general objective of the grade music course this year has been to give every child an opportunity to develop in.to a being who loves music and enjoys participating in its ex- pression. More specifically, we strive to foster a love of beauty, to provide an opportunity for self-expression through singing, and to develop the power and desire to respond to different types of rhythm and mood. XA An attempt was made to develop individual power to sing simple songs, rhythmically, in tune, and with a light floating tone. Some elementary music theory was also taught. Music, we believe, is of major importance because it can become the source of immeasur- able pleasure and satisfaction to its creators, its performers, and its appreciative listeners throughout their lives.
