As can be seen from the above table, the enrollment of tuition pupils has steadily decreased as the demand for entrance from Quincy boys increased.

These projects have undoubtedly made a great contribution to the health of our pupils. Abscessed teeth and tonsils are often the beginning of serious cardiac impairment.

There have been many more cases of dog bite reported this year. A dog bite must be considered very serious and proper treatment given at once to prevent the dreaded disease of Hydrophobia. All dog bite cases are sent to the Quincy Hospital for proper care and the Health Department is notified. An appeal has been made to the police department on several occasions to control the dogs at large which run in most of our school yards during the time that children are using them. This condition is not only hazardous but it is ex- pensive to the city. It is my recommendation that the owners of dogs be charged for the costs now absorbed by the city in cases of dog bite or that the police department exercise more vigilance in keeping playgrounds free from dogs.
Physical Education
During the past year courses of study for both the elementary and secondary levels were compiled by the Director and distrib- uted. Their value is noticeable in the schools where facilities per- mit a broad varied program. It is difficult, however, to do very

much direct teaching-requiring verbal directions-in gymnasiums where two classes are meeting at the same time separated only by a canvas curtain. Where activities are suited to co-educational par- ticipation, it is suggested that the two classes be handled as one unit, with the curtain raised, thereby affording opportunities for proper instruction. Dancing, badminton, volley ball, deck tennis and certain self testing stunts are a few of the activities which lend themselves to this type of program. Constant supervision of both teachers, however, must be maintained throughout the class period.
Some of the physical education teachers have received letters of gratitude from parents who have been able to see improvements due to the special work which has been given to their children. These cases are uncovered only after a careful analysis of P.F.I. scores and a history of pupil health habits is taken.
The individual P.F.I. gains of pupils is a most interesting study but since we have over 6000 cases, it is impossible to list them in this report. A summary report by schools follows:

Boys in secondary schools are being taught the fundamentals of marching from the new Infantry Drill Manual purchased from the Government. The rifle ranges at both ends of the city are used daily and many of our pupils are giving a good account of them- selves as marksmen. These two forms of training should aid con- siderably if these young men should be called upon to join our armed forces in the present conflict.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. CARTER, Director of Health Education.
