January 1, 1931. To the Selectmen of Medfield:

I hereby submit to you the report of my work for the past year. In December, 1929, I received orders from the Director of the Division of Animal Industry, State House, Boston, Mass., to make the annual complete census and inspection of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, kept in this town, also the condition of the stables in which they are kept, this inspection to be completed not later than March 1, 1930. During this examination, I visited 35 stables in which are kept 309 cattle, 278 swine, no sheep and 2 goats. The animals all appeared healthy physically and stables kept in very good condition. Of these 309 cattle, 192 were Tuberculin tested under State and Federal supervision. There are a number of more cattle under supervision at this date. During the past year, 5 dogs were quarantined for Rabies. These dogs had bitten different people and after a period of 14 days, not showing any signs of the disease, were released.

About September 1, 1930, a dog was taken sick and owner sent it to a hospital. At the hospital the dog showed signs of Rabies and later died.

September 4, 1930, I quarantined 2 dogs that had been in contact with the dog that had died, these dogs were inoculated to prevent Rabies and at the expiration of 21 days were released.

October 17, 1930, 8 swine were quarantined for Cholera. These swine were inoculated to prevent this disease but were too sick at the time of treatment and later died.

Yours truly,

GEORGE S. CHENEY, Inspector of Animals. 10

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS

To the Board of Selectmen:

In addition to our general work this year, in the cemetery, we had to care for all the soldiers' graves in accordance with a law recently passed by the Commonwealth, and this extra work add to cost of maintenance every year. In the new section developed this year, known as Section D, the lots are laid out with bound markers at the corners, and quite a number of lots have been sold. The avenues between this section and section C have been laid out but not as yet built. For the ensuing year, we would recommend an appropriation of $2000.00. Yours truly, DANIELS HAMANT, JOSEPH A. ROBERTS, JOHN R. MILLER, Commissioners. December 31, 1930.

~~REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD~~

~~Water Department~~

The very bad condition of the old main line in North Street is certainly not improving, and provision should be made the coming season for relaying at least a portion of North Street from Main Street to the present 4-inch cast iron pipe at Dale

~~Street, with cast iron pipe, in case a new water system is not started this season.~~

The sizes for the new pipe can be figured to fit into whatever system is adopted, provided the supply comes from the north. It will require 2,250 feet of 14-inch, 12-inch and 10-inch main line besides the 8-inch and 6-inch for connecting the side streets, also setting the necessary hydrants. An appropriation of $10,500.00 will be required. A separate appropriation of $2,000.00 will be needed for connecting the houses and vacant lots to the main line. The pumping record shows 25,492,791 gallons for the year average per day 69,843 gallons —heaviest day 129,885 gallons lightest day 54,404 gallons. The decrease from 1929 of 4,680,220 gallons can be accounted for by the past very dry season, when a large majority of the water takers gave up trying to save their lawns and gardens; also there were no fires that required a large draft on the Fire Reservoirs. During the year, there were five new services added, ten re- newed and five repaired. Under the present ruling of the Water Board, the Water Department furnishes and repairs the service pipe from the main to the street line, which decreases somewhat the amount of money coming back into the Town Treasury from above sources. In the event of next season being a very dry one, we may have to make more repairs on the suction line. The past season, on account of air leaks showing in the joints of the suction line, 83 when the level of the ground water in the meadow went below the center, and in some cases the bottom of the wooden suction pipe, air leaks developed, and we were obliged to repair thirteen joints at a cost of $278.44 in order to keep the pumps running until the rains came. In order to meet our budget for the coming year, which antic- ipates about the usual number of new services, renewals and repairs, also emergencies like the suction pipe job, we ask for an appropriation of $3,800.00. During the year the Treasurer paid Water Department notes amounting to $1,000.00 and interest $192.50, this leaves three

~~notes for $1,000.00 each still due on the purchase of the plant from the Medfield Water Co.~~

~~SEWER DEPARTMENT~~

~~Sanitary Sewers~~

In February, 1930, we cleared out a stoppage in sewer in the street which connects Mitchell and Cottage Streets—tree roots again. Early in December the sewers in Miller and North Streets had to be cleared out. In Miller Street it backed up into the cellars, in North Street we found the trouble when making a general inspection of the trunk lines.

~~Sewer Beds~~

The amount of sewerage going to the beds during the summer and fall months decreased somewhat on account of the straw factory closing and also due to the very long dry season, when there was no ground water to speak of entering the leaky joints. Surface of the beds baked harder than the average, last season, requiring more working to keep the surface porous enough to absorb the sewerage readily. On account of this extra work, the small balance left late in the season, did not permit hauling any sand or gravel to the low parts of the beds, which we try to do whenever possible. We need an appropriation of $1000.00 for the coming season.

~~REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE~~

~~To the Citizens of Medfield:~~

The School Committee meet at 3 o'clock on the first Tuesday of each month of the school year. Parents and citizens who wish to confer on any school matter or pupil's problems are invited to meet the committee at any of their meetings. On October 24, 1930, Mrs. Susan M. Clark died after a short illness. She was a member of the school department as a teacher and member of the school committee for over twenty- six years, and during all that time she was faithful to the duties of the department.

Mrs. Evelyn Byng was appointed to fill her place. During the year, there have been several changes in the teaching personnel of the schools. At the High School, Miss Titus resigned, and her place was filled by Miss Anna Regish. In October, Mr. Palumbo resigned to take a teaching position in the Boston Trade School. His place was filled by Mrs. Theresa MacMurray. Miss Estelle Harlow was obtained to teach part time in the seventh grade and part time in the sixth grade. In the Ralph Wheelock School, Miss Foye resigned and Miss C. Louise Barber took her place. Miss Helen McDonald's place was filled by Miss Grace Oliver. In November, Miss Ruth Sauer resigned to be married, and Miss Anna Daddario came to teach the second grade. The School Committee wishes to thank Mr. Oliver J. Clark for the gift of the picture, " Franklin at the Court of France." This picture belonged to Mrs. Susan M. Clark and was given in memory of her and can be seen at the High School. We have been able to do some work at both schools. At the High School, a closet for the folding chairs and various things of the janitor was built. Metal closets were put in, in the Com- mercial Room, and blowers for the boiler were installed; this will save about $4.00 a ton on coal. 145

In the seventh grade, one row of seven new chairs and desks were added to accommodate a large class. Twelve new chairs have replaced the old ones in the typewriting room. The latter have been repaired and are in use at the Ralph Wheelock School. A good, used piano which could be purchased ad- vantageously was placed in the High School and the player piano there transferred to the Ralph Wheelock School. There was added some much needed scientific apparatus, also. Five old typewriters were exchanged for five new ones. There was a large number of new text books purchased for use in both schools. At the Ralph Wheelock School, a wire fence was erected on the line between the school lot and that of Mr. William Kelly. Two cement walks were built from the school to Pleasant Street and Miller Street. The lunch room has been utilized for a drawing room, and a heating and ventilating unit installed. A metal closet was put in, in the office. We have purchased more supplies than usual as they had dropped in price. They were the type which are used daily. It has been voted that minimum age of admission to Grade I of the Medfield Schools remain five years and six months on September 1st of year of entering with the exception that an applicant who lacks not over one month of that age be referred to the Superintendent of Schools. Such child may be admitted at his discretion after due consideration of the child's physical and mental fitness (by intelligence examination) and available school accommodations. A birth certificate is required of every pupil upon entrance. We departed from the usual custom when obtaining new teachers of hiring all just out of school or college, by appointing two who had previous teaching experience in the elementary department and one in the high school, and we feel that it has been money well expended. We have tried to give the scholars the best that a small town could afford and feel that it is up to them to do their part. The school committee, in closing, feels they have conscien- 146 tiously done their duty, being ably supported by the Super- intendent, Mr. Allen, the various supervisors, principals, and the teachers, and not omitting the last but not least, the janitors. In another place, you will find the reports of the others of the Department. For school expenses for the coming year we ask for $32,500. It may be of interest to note that the total cost per pupil for the support of all our schools, from State and local sources was 91% of the average cost throughout the State, or $91.14. The net cost paid from local taxation was 80%—$74.51 as against an average of $90.10. These figures, for the school year 1929-30 are taken from the State report. 147

~~REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS~~

~~To the School Committee of Medfield:~~

It is my privilege to make my second report to you and through you to the citizens of Medfield. In October Medfield suffered a loss in the passing of Mrs. Susan M. Clark, for fourteen years a member of this School Committee and for over thirty years directly associated with the schools of the town. This service, coming as it did after years of educational and teaching experience elsewhere, con- stitutes a record noteworthy in the annals of the State. Her wide range of experience, long knowledge of the schools of this community, mature and sound judgment, ever fresh and enthusiastic attitude toward progress in education, and personal interest in every pupil and teacher were sources of unique power and influence which will long be missed. To fill the vacancy thus created until the next regular election, Mrs. Evelyn Byng was duly appointed, in November. She has undertaken the work with sympathy and enthusiasm. We have had, as must be expected, interruptions in the personnel of the teaching force. One teacher, Miss Macdonald, retired after several years of faithful service. Miss Ruth Sauer left us to be married. Mr. Palumbo, Miss Titus, and Miss Foye, after terms of varying length, resigned for places of larger salary and opportunity. We are fortunate in their successors, who have assumed their work with intelligence and vigor. All were well prepared, two were experienced in other localities; and we were particularly happy that Mrs. McMurray was able to return to the High School when the interruption there came in the midst of the term. She returns with the full confidence and esteem of pupils and community. Miss Regish in the Commercial Department, Miss Oliver in Grade V, Miss Barber in III, and Miss Daddario in II have quickly made their places and are doing strong work. Nevertheless, there is 152 usually a temporary loss when a tried and experienced teacher leaves and one new to the situation if not to the profession, takes her place. Of course Medfield cannot compete with the wealthier cities; equally of course there is good stimulus when members of a teaching corps realize that growth into larger spheres is open and is encouraged. There is also helpful stimulus with the coming of new, enthusiastic teachers, eager to make their places. But a measure of permanence is valuable and it is worth while to continue offering added inducements to remain here and grow in efficiency. Another very helpful step has been the addition of an experienced teacher, Miss Harlow, to carry work in both Junior high school and sixth grade, thus serving to " bridge the gap" and to relieve the principal of the elementary school for more supervision. Our Census, Age-grade, and Attendance tables, given herewith, show practically no gain or loss in numbers of pupils. Our percentage of attendance has not shown the improvement over last year which was hoped and which should be possible with the town's liberality in transportation of pupils. While there has been distinct improvement in our schools in nearly all lines I still feel there is not yet a sufficiently strong businesslike attitude in the High School and that the remedy lies principally in the home. Too few pupils take the personal responsibility for their own progress that they would do if their homes individually paid for them the actual tuition cost which the town pays. Outside interests, particularly those which use evenings other than Friday or Saturday, should not take the time or absorb the attention and initiative and interest of the pupils. The one-session plan was originally adopted largely to give the long afternoon and evening so there might be serious, effective study, without interference with healthful exercise and rest. The School cannot put the pupil into College; he must put himself. The Home and the School can furnish opportunity and stimulus and guidance. Such investigations as we have made indicate that the average time of serious home study is disappointingly low. Will each home co-operate with us? There have been many improvements in physical equipment 153 during the past year, described more fully elsewhere. At the Ralph Wheelock school a woven-wire boundary fence, cement walks, and cinder filling where the town's sidewalk-grading left the playground low and wet have increased safety and healthfulness. The building is now easily approachable from both sides in all weathers. Installation of blower fans for the boilers at the High School now permits burning buckwheat (hard) coal. This is accomplishing what we have seen it do elsewhere—give better-controlled heat at reduced cost, at the same time being cleaner for our building and our neighborhood.

If it fulfills the present expectation it should be installed at the Ralph Wheelock school next summer. One of the serious limitations of the High School building has been remedied in the best way apparent by fitting-up the lunch room at the Wheelock building for a Drawing Room.

While it is inconvenient to High School pupils to walk one way or the round-trip between the two schools, the benefit in real interest and serious work accomplished more than compensates. A moderate supply of drawing instruments is helping Mechani- cal Drawing and Mrs. Judd now gives us two days a week. Careful reading of her enthusiastic report is suggested. We are still handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium, for health and physical training, for development of the best team work in athletic sports, with its incident school loyalty and interest and co-operative leadership, and for use in social gatherings of various sorts. We as yet can see no way to overcome this handicap. A serious problem in which we hope to make distinct progress during the coming year is that of promotion and grading. Our Age-grade table indicates that one-sixth of our pupils are re- tarded one or more years. There is a range of five, or even six, years in the ages of pupils in single grades. Study is being given this situation in the hope of meeting more nearly the needs of individual pupils. For each pupil of every grade the school should be his place of business, wherein he is happily and absorbingly employed in what he can do increasingly well. Medfield may well take special pride in its High School graduation of last June, as interestingly reported elsewhere by the 154

Principal. It was distinctly appropriate to Medfield—one of the Bay State's historic towns—as part of its celebration of her Tercentenary year. It is a pity we have no moving-picture record of this beautiful and meaningful pageant. In closing let me thank your Committee, the teachers, janitors, and all school workers for their cordial support and faithful endeavor. It augurs well for increased accomplishment to come.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~LYMAN R. ALLEN, Superintendent. 155~~

~~REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL~~

~~January 15, 1931.~~

~~Mr. Lyman R. Allen, Superintendent of Schools,~~

~~Sir:—~~

~~I herewith submit my report as principal of the Medfield High School for the year 1930.~~

~~Graduation Exercises~~

As 1930 marked the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Massachusetts Bay Colony, of which Medfield was a part, it seemed very pertinent to make the graduation exercises historical in character, particularly as no other observance of the occasion had been planned by the town. It was finally decided to prepare and present a historical pageant of the early history of the town. Much time and thought were put into this by the class, the teachers, and the other pupils in school who took part. Using as a basis a pageant published by the State Department of Education, the Seniors, as a part of the regular English class work changed certain sections to apply to local conditions and wrote in entirely new parts where the original could not apply. The pageant was presented in a prolog and seven episodes. Of these, episodes three, five, and six were written entirely by the class. The prolog with the connecting links between the episodes, and episodes one, four, and seven were changed considerably to fit local conditions. Between the episodes appropriate musical numbers were in- troduced as solos, orchestral numbers, or vocal choruses. All participants were dressed in appropriate costume. The cost of costuming the pageant was considerable and would have been prohibitive if we had had to hire all the costumes used. The class spent twenty-five dollars for costumes 156 instead of presenting a gift to the school, feeling that in giving a performance of this calibre as their contribution to the tercentenary year they were doing something just as valuable as the gift of a picture or anything of that sort would be. Many of the costumes were made by the pupils or their parents, and many were loaned by townspeople. We are much indebted to Mr. Ware for the loan of stage properties, etc., suitable to the periods represented, and also to the Norwood Junior High School for the loan of costume material. The entire student body entered into the spirit of the occasion in a highly com- mendable manner. Of the 140 pupils in school at the time about 65 took active parts in the pageant. A complete program will be found at the end of this report. Although no members of the Class of 1930 have gone to college, five of the twelve are continuing their education at business schools or private academies.

~~Enrollment~~

There was an increase of sixteen in enrollment in September of this year over that of the same month last year, making a total of 161 pupils. Since then three pupils have moved from town making the present enrollment 158. This increase is due to an entering grade of forty pupils as against a loss of only twelve by graduation. The average graduating class for several years previous to 1930 was 17. This year (1931) there should be 22 graduates. Conditions now indicate that the present enrollment of between 155 and 160 will remain fairly constant for the next two years and will then increase to 170 or so due to a large grade which should enter in 1933. The si^e of the seventh grade this September has caused temporarily crowded conditions in one room. Although the building is large enough to accommodate up to two hundred pupils, the largest number of seats and desks in any one room was thirty-five and a class of over that number in any subject could not be accommodated except through the use of tablet arm chairs. The type of work that must be done in the seventh grade can not be done properly on these tablet arms and desks are essential. Through a slight change in the seating arrange- 157 ment of the seventh grade room an additional row of seats was placed during the last vacation period and this room will now seat up to 45 pupils.

~~Drawing Classes~~

The removal of the drawing classes to the Ralph Wheelock building will prove to be of great value, especially to the advanced pupils. Arrangements for drawing at the high school building were never satisfactory. During the periods that the drawing classes met it was necessary to double up in other rooms in order to release a room for these classes. There was no chance in the room for the storing of material or for keeping pupils' work from week to week. Any painting or other work that needed to dry after the period was finished had to be left on the window sills or chalk tray. There was an interval of only one minute between the end of the drawing class and the beginning of the next recitation when an entirely different group had to use the room. This made the cleaning up of the drawing work difficult to handle and any work left to dry as mentioned above was in the way of the incoming classes. With a room devoted only to drawing, all of this inconvenience has been done away with and the pupils are more careful of their work and more interested in it. At present only those who are really interested in the subject and can really profit by taking it, are in the drawing classes. The few who thought that the trip between the two buildings would be an enjoyable recess and elected drawing on that account were eliminated early in the fall. The trip between the two buildings may seem somewhat of a hardship, especially to the younger pupils, and may seem to be an unnecessary waste of time. But the periods have been so arranged that the time for returning to the high school for one class comes during recess, while another class is dismissed from school immediately from drawing. Time for passing for the seventh and eighth grades is taken out of a spare period. On days that the weather is too severe arrangements have been made to omit the drawing classes for the junior high groups. With drawing given to senior high school pupils two periods a week instead of one as formerly, regular credit towards 158 graduation can be given for this subject. The results in the personnel of the group and in the improved type of work fully justify the change.

~~Athletics~~

Miss Regish has taken over the work with the girls formerly carried on by Miss Titus and Mr. Hartford has taken over Mr. Palumbo's work with the boys. During the fall the girls played an interclass series of fieldball and basket ball games. A school team has been organized in girls' basket ball but because of the necessity for practising out of doors we have been handicapped considerably by weather conditions. It is practically impos- sible to win any games with a team that can not practise and must play all its games away from home. The girls deserve a great deal of credit for the spirit which they show in trying to play at all under such conditions. Newcomb is being played as an organized indoor game for the winter season. During the spring, track practise will be carried on.

Last June a tennis tournament open to all the pupils in high school was held in which twenty-six entrants participated. The winner, Gordon Hardie, Class of 1933, was presented with a silver cup furnished by the school athletic association. A similar tournament is planned for the coming spring. The baseball team coached by Mr. Umberto Palumbo last spring had a fairly successful season. In football this fall we again had the services of Mr. William Palumbo as coach. Thanks to his willingness to give his time and the generosity of several of the townspeople who subscribed money for the purchase of equipment, we developed the most successful team we have had for years. Out of eleven games played we won four, tied three, and lost four. An ice hockey team has been organized for the winter, which at time of writing had won one game and lost one. Baseball will be played in the spring, Medfield High remaining a member of the Tri-County League as in the past. Assemblies

~~. A regular schedule of assembly periods for the present school year has been arranged by a committee of the School Executive 159~~

Council. During the fall we had an original play written and presented by the Freshman Class; a Thanksgiving play by the seventh grade; a dramatized version of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" by grade eight; an illustrated lecture on the winter birds of Massachusetts by the field agent of the Massachusetts Audubon Society; and four illustrated scientific lectures. For the remainder of the year three debates, two outside speakers, and three class programs are planned. These assemblies are an integral part of school work at the present time and bring matter of great educational value into the school from outside as well as developing initiative, responsibility, and poise in those pupils who plan and take part in class assemblies. The Superintendent and Committee have been very generous this year in providing us with books and supplies which we appreciate very much. The new maps, scientific apparatus, textbooks, and typewriter chairs just purchased will greatly increase the efficiency of the school. Much of this material had been needed for a long time. In closing I wish to thank you and the Committee for the assistance given throughout the year.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING~~

~~Mr. Lyman R. Allen,~~

~~Superintendent of Schools, Medfield, Massachusetts.~~

~~Dear Sir:~~

I herewith submit my annual report, as Drawing Supervisor in the town of Medfield. My aim, as usual, for all the work is to have each child love to draw and dare to draw anything at any time. Towards this somewhat optimistic ideal, certain improvements stand out during the past year in the grades.

~~1. There is a quicker response from all the classes when problems are assigned.~~

~~2. More originality and better technique are noticeable in Free Expression problems; the lettering shows more careful workmanship.~~

~~3. Work is generally completed at the close of each period. The teachers deserve much of the credit for this improvement,~~

which is partly due to their careful planning and conscientious attention in following the monthly outlines. The High School Classes, for the first time in years, are having a real opportunity to produce art work comparable with advanced work in neighboring towns. It is to be regretted

that a suitable room is not available in the High School building, but any inconvenience caused by the walk to and from classes is more than justified by the results. We certainly appreciate the large, convenient room we now have. Every- one has an enjoyable time while there; supplies can be properly taken care of; and we do not interfere with the general High School routine. The new class in Mechanical Drawing is progressing rapidly and shows great enthusiasm for the work. 161

Parents who are considering the advisability of sending their children to Art or Technical schools, or those who question the wisdom of moving the drawing classes to this building, are especially welcome to observe these classes at any time. Of course, the great need at present is more manual work for both girls and boys of the 5th and 6th grade. Many children who are poor students in other branches show decided skill in sewing, cooking, carpenter work, mechanical construction or bench work of any kind. Sometimes success in these problems reacts favorably upon the other subjects, as the child gains confidence in his own ability. We now have some coping saws and other small tools for light wood construction problems, and a few boys are to have the privilege of working with them. If this class is successful, it may be possible to give the girls some extra work of this sort. The Superintendent and School Committee have spent a great deal of time considering the Drawing situation this year, and the teachers and children join me in thanks for the fine equipment, the improved working conditions, and above all, the extra day.

~~It is now a great pleasure to teach art in Medfield.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~EVELYN H. JUDD, Supervisor of Drawing. :~~

~~REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC~~

~~Mr. L. R. Allen,~~

~~Superintendent of Schools,~~

~~Dear Sir~~

I present a short report on music in the schools of Medfield. Music contributes to the general aims of education. Some of these are—good health, ability to carry on everyday activities of life, good citizenship, character, right use of leisure

time and a worthwhile part in home life. It is healthy to sing. Good posture and deep breathing are necessary. Any subject, which results in rapidity and accuracy of thought, will increase the ability to carry on the activities of

~~life. Music is one of these subjects. Patriotic songs, folk songs and national songs are valuable in the development of good citizenship.~~

~~Music has its part in building character. It excels all other~~

endeavors in use of leisure time and is a pleasure, pastime and strong support in the home. The singing of many good songs, cultivation of light voices, excellent work in the various problems in music through the grades, ability in part singing, all make for good music in the Junior High School. Here the process of socializing students can be carried on to the best advantage. Large numbers of boys and girls of the same ages and interests are gathered together. In the singing of a chorus or the playing of an orchestra, the necessity of working for group effect is plain.

~~If there is opportunity for singing, music appreciation and instrumental music the department of music in a Junior High 163~~

~~School spreads its instruction as widely as many of the other necessary subjects of the school. On the work of the Junior High School depends the music of the Senior High School.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~NETTIE F. HAMANT, Supervisor of Music. Medfield, January 19, 1931. 164~~

~~PHYSICIANS REPORT~~

~~In the beginning of the year, each child was examined and defects noted and reports sent to the parents.~~

In the spring term, there was diphtheria in one family; three children having it; one being of school age. There were no other cases. However, there were several cases of whooping cough, chicken pox and measles.

~~In the fall term, there were no contagious diseases.~~

~~You will find a more detailed report from the school nurse.~~

~~REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE~~

~~To the Superintendent of School of Medfield.~~

~~Dear Sir:~~

~~I hereby submit my annual report for the town of Medfield. The aims of health education in the schools of Medfield may be briefly stated as follows~~

1. To instruct children and youth so that they may conserve and improve their own health habits. 2. To establish in them habits and principles of living which, throughout their school life and in later years, will assure that abundant vigor and vitality which provides the basis for the greatest possible happiness and service in personal, family, and

community life. 3. To influence parents and other adults through the health- education program for children to better habits and attitudes, so that the school may become an effective agency for the promotion of the social aspects of health education in the family and community as well as in the school itself. 4. To improve the individual and community life of the future; to insure a healthier and fitter nation and race. This program has been followed this past year by these means

1. The teachers have efficiently co-operated with the school physician and school nurse to bring about better health conditions among their pupils by the correlation of health studies with other lessons. 2. The drawing supervisor has co-operated by the making of health posters which are very attractive and instructive. 3. Our school janitors have aided us in our health program by their constant efforts to keep our schools clean and properly heated. : :

~~166~~

~~The school nurse's duties have been as follows~~

~~1. Assisting the school physician at his annual health examination, recording defects and notifying parents of same. 2. Weekly class room inspections: health talks.~~

~~3. Periodical weighing and measuring of children. 4. Home visits when necessary.~~

~~5. Assisting the examining physician at the pre-school clinic.~~

6. Supervision of the Dental Clinic. The health of our school children has been excellent. Last winter several severe colds were reported, together with cases of whooping cough. By the Board of Health records, only the following communicable diseases were reported among school children Whooping Cough 8 Diphtheria 1 German Measles 2 To control communicable diseases, it is necessary to take measures to prevent the spread of infection, to reduce the likeli- hood of exposure to infectious diseases and to extend the protection by means' of immunization, particularly in childhood. The parents of Medfield are co-operating with us in this program by their careful observance of quarantine rules, also by their interest in our pre-school clinic. The object of the latter is to give each child who is to enter school in September, a thorough physical examination, also to give this child Toxin- anti-toxin for the prevention of diphtheria. Parents are notified of defects and urged to have them corrected before the child enters school in September. Every child has the right to enter school physically fit. Report of pre-school clinic, Dr. Park, examining physician. 24 pre-school children examined. 27 children who had Toxin-anti-toxin. 12 recommended for removal of tonsils and adenoids. 4 children having defective teeth.

The nutrition of our children has improved. As this is closely related to good health, simple nutritional rules have to be habitually observed. These are taught during my health talks and by the teachers. One of our underweight pupils spent : :

~~167 eight weeks at the Norfolk County Health Camp at Braintree. As a result, he gained fifteen pounds. This camp is financed through the Christmas Seal Sales.~~

The re-examination clinics were held under the supervision of the State Department of Public Health in October and November. The results are as follows Total number examined 10 Total number X-rayed 10 Total number improved 10 Recommended for removal of tonsils and adenoids 2 Recommended for dentistry 1

~~Dental Clinic~~

The Dental Clinic is sponsored by the local Red Cross chapter with contribution from the Visiting Nurse Association, The American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary. Dr. Carroll of Whitinsville conducts this clinic one-half day each week. Pupils of the Ralph Wheelock School are eligible to this clinic.

This work is becoming a very important part of our health education work. It is our aim to teach the children that proper nutrition, good digestion, sunshine, exercise, rest, and regular visits to the dentist (at least twice a year) all promote the health of its body and parts. If pupils and parents can be made to realize these facts and come to understand that mouth hy- giene is more than brushing of teeth and occasional visits to the dentist a valuable lesson is taught.

Report of Dental Clinic Total enrollment 93 Total number of clinics 32 Total number of patients 281 Total number of fillings 258 Total number of cleansing 35 Total number of extractions 193 May Day was observed and each year the children are becoming more interested in a 100% Child Health Day. 168

~~I have attended all the health meetings held under the State Department of Public Health. I want to thank the parents and teachers for their cooperation in all our school health activities.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~
