MR. JAMES N. MUIR, Superintendent of Schools, Quincy, Mass.
My dear Mr. Muir:
I submit the following report, setting forth the aims of the Visual Education department, and the plan of organization devel- oped to promote the desirable use of Visual Aids.
The Department of Visual Education serves the teachers of the city with the available teaching aids.
It recognizes that every teacher should use materials and ma- chinery of modern invention, which increase the efficiency of teach- ing. The following essentials are necessary to accomplish the desirable use of teaching aids:
1. The materials should be easily available to the teacher.
2. The materials should be organized for use by the teacher.
3. The material should be used by the teacher in the individual classroom at the time when it correlates with the subject taught.
4. The suitable materials should be selected from the vast amount of available material.
5. The teachers should be made acquainted with available aids and should be trained in their uses.
To serve the above purposes, we have established a plan gen- erally known as the "Quincy System of Visual Instruction." Briefly, this plan includes:
1. The materials recommended for use consist of pictures, slides, filmslides, motion pictures, stereographs, models, sand tables, charts, exhibits, living animals and plants, and trips.
2. Teachers who would find material useful in their teaching, originate the orders and inspect the material for approval before purchasing.
3. A score card has been developed to objectively evaluate the available motion pictures to determine their suitability for school use.
4. The available aids have been centralized in one office, which makes possible proper filing, desirable inspection and re- pair, and necessary records of use.
5. The projection machinery recommended by the department must be usable by the teacher in the classroom. In the use of motion pictures we are strictly limiting our use to the sixteen millimeter size films.
6. Our motion picture films are at present limited to silent films, because they serve our purpose best.
7. We own our own library of films because we find that if a film or other type of Visual Aid is worthwhile, it is cheaper to own the material than to hire its use.
8. Most schools own their own projectors.
9. One teacher in each building serves as the director of Vis- ual Education for the teachers of the building. Her pur- pose is to keep in close touch with the needs of each teacher, to place and receive orders, and to keep a record of the use of the material.
10. Many schools have organized projection clubs composed of children from the different rooms. The purpose of such
444
CITY OF QUINCY
clubs is to train the pupils to assist the teacher in the mechanical operation of the machinery necessary for pro- jection.
11. The Director of Visual Education has met with many groups of teachers for the purpose of giving the necessary instruc- tion in the proper use of the machinery and materials.
12. Some teachers have taken the course on Visual Education at Boston University.
13. A short course in the essentials of photography was given to about seventy teachers.
14. The director has spoken to several groups of parent-teachers associations on the subject of Visual Education.
15. An experiment testing the value of sound motion pictures in the teaching of General Science is being conducted by Harvard University Graduate School of Education, under a grant from the Carnegie Fund.
16. A delivery system has been established to make available to the teacher the material she wants at the appropriate time.
17. The annual meeting of the Massachusetts Branch of the National Academy of Visual Instruction is to be held at the North High School, Quincy.
18. A paper called the Projector serves to keep the teachers informed of the progress in the field and of the news of the department.
It is generally known that we learn more through the eye than through any other of our senses. By the use of Visual Aids we hope to bring the world into the classroom, to make the unseen visible, the difficult more plain, to present information in its thor- ough and natural state, to motivate the pupil, and to arouse the learner to the point where he will want to know more about the subject presented.
All the materials recommended are teaching aids. The organ- ization is established to serve the teachers.
Visual Education is attracting the attention of educators throughout the country and the world. Many school systems are organizing Visual Education departments. Because of the in- creased interest in this subject, we are receiving many inquiries about our organization. The essentials of our system will be elab- orated in a mimeographed report, which will be available to all who may be interested in it.
Respectfully yours,
ABRAHAM KRASKER,
Director of Visual Educational Dept.

REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
MR. JAMES N. MUIR, Superintendent of Schools, Quincy, Mass. My dear Mr. Muir:
The report of the health activities of the Hygiene Division for 1931 is herewith submitted to you. A brief summary of the annual events follows.
The Follow-Up Clinic of the State Department of Health The re-examination of the school children listed under this clinic occurred in January. The result, as shown by the report of Dr. David Zacks, the supervisor of the clinic, is self explanatory:
Number of children re-examined
166
Number of children improved. 156
Number of children unimproved. 9
(Card missing-unknown) 1
Number of children X-rayed.
166
Number of children tested
152
Number of re-actors
99
Number of non-re-actors
53
Number of children recommended for sani- torium treatment
1
Number of children recommended for Sum- mer Camp 19
This group of children was again X-rayed and tested by the Clinic in December and will be re-examined in February, 1932.
The Campaign for the Prevention of Diphtheria
Co-operating with the Department of Health, immunization treatments were given in the schools during May. The school nurses received 996 requests, and 892 children completed the treat- ments during the three weeks of this activity. We are greatly indebted to the Commissioner of Health, Dr. C. J. Lynch, and his staff of doctors and nurses for their services in helping us to ob- tain such successful results in this important preventive work.
Physical Examinations
Beginning in September, a group of doctors, comprising Rachel L. Hardwick, Ella G. Hedges, Robert L. Cook, Edward Broderick and Fred P. Costanza examined the pupils of the 7th and 9th grades of our Junior High Schools and the 10th grade of the Sen- ior High School. The pupils of the Trade and the Home Making Schools, and also the boys of the athletic group of the Senior High School were included in these examinations.
The examinations of the pupils of the first grade of the ele- mentary schools started in September and were completed in De- cember. The increasing number of mothers attending these exam- inations is very gratifying and should be regarded as a most help- ful factor in this branch of our work.
Routine Measures
The health certificates issued for employment of minors have decreased during the year, a total of 210 having been granted,
446
CITY OF QUINCY
according to the report of the Supervisor of Attendance, Mr. Charles H. Johnson.
In regard to contagion, cases of Scarlet Fever, Measles, Mumps, Chicken Pox and Whooping Cough have appeared at various times during the school year. The control of Scarlet Fever still remains a problem, especially when its symptoms are so vague.
To complete this report the effective work of our school nurses should again be emphasized. A glance at their annual report reveals the extensive area of inspection that comes under their supervision. Their efforts to maintain the standards of health among our school children are most steadfast and they are entitled to the highest commendation.
Please allow me to express my appreciation of the encourage- ment and helpfulness you have extended to this division. I also wish to thank the principals and teachers for their valuable co- operation and support in our health program.
Respectfully submitted,
MARIA E. DREW, M.D., School Physician.
