Report of Public Health Nursing Service
SCHOOL NURSING
In the past year the work of the school nurse has been performed as formerly, under the direction of the Board of Health and in cooperation with the School Department. A physical examination of all pupils takes place soon after the opening of school, in which I assist the physicians. Class-room inspection is carried on weekly, for the control of infectious skin diseases, pediculosis and other affections. Improved conditions as to teeth are noticeable, due to better cooperation of parents and the valuable service rendered by the free dental clinic at the Melrose Hospital. Schick work is now done yearly; records are kept of each child tested and immunized. An increase in the number of operations for removal of tonsils and adenoids is shown. Special attention is given to children found to be over ten per cent under weight, and free milk provided for them daily in the schools. This group of under nourished boys and girls receive further help in the Summer Health and Play School, the report of which follows:
SUMMER HEALTH AND PLAY SCHOOL
The sixth session of the Summer Health and Play School was again held at the Sewall and High Schools, the general routine varying but little from previous years. This school is strictly of the day-camp variety, no overnight work having been attempted as yet. The daily program starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 3.30 p.m., with two light lunches and a sub- stantial hot meal, a nap or rest period after the dinner, and work and play under supervision of two trained instructors. The object of the school is to strengthen resistance to disease in these children, build them up physically, and encourage hygienic habits of living as demonstrated in the daily program. The importance of washing before eating, cleaning the teeth after eating, and a proper amount of sleep is especially empha- sized. The school was in session six weeks, opening July 6th, with an enrollment of sixty pupils, and an average daily attendance of forty-eight. They were given a physical examination upon entering and were under constant medical and nursing supervision. Gains in weight were noted weekly with interest, only one child gaining less than one pound, and the largest gain being five pounds. The working staff consisted of two teachers, a supervising nurse and a matron with her assistants to prepare the meals.

Respectfully submitted,
R. A. LEAVITT, Superintendent
The work of the Cemetery Committee of the past few years has been constantly increasing, due to the increase in the sales of Rights of Burial in lots and single graves, which all require perpetual care.
It can be noted from the Superintendent's itemized report which follows that the number of interments and sale of Rights of Burial are far in excess of previous years.
The receipts of the Cemetery Department this year is the largest in its history, amounting to $22,501.97. The expense of maintenance for the year of 1925 however was kept practically as low as that for the years of 1923 and 1924, in spite of the fact that at the beginning of this year there were only 47 lots available in which Rights of Burial could be sold.
The Cemetery Committee foreseeing the necessity for more available lots at once, made a survey of the property and ordered work to start at once to prepare lots when same could be accomplished in the least time and expense. This was done and 50 lots were finished.
During the year the wages of the employees has been raised to correspond with the wages paid for similar work in the Public Works Department, at the same time the number of men was kept to the minimum so that the appropriation granted by the Board of Aldermen would not be exceeded due to foreseen reasons.
The spring and summer season of 1925 was such that an exceptional amount of grass cutting was made necessary and overtime work was required to keep the grounds in first class condition.
. In conclusion the Cemetery Committee feel it will be necessary for the good of the Cemetery Department to ask for a special appropriation in 1926 for the sole purpose of developing more land for lots.
