REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF SEWING.
To MR. W. C. HOBBS, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
With a few changes, the work in sewing has been continued according to the outline given in my last statement, and the re- sult thus far has been most satisfactory. In each grade much progress has been made. The work has been so planned as to give as far as possible in the time allowed each class, a substan- tial knowledge of the art of sewing, enabling the pupils to put the knowledge thus obtained to a practical use in the home. The sewing this year has been taken in one grade higher than usual (the 7th), which has afforded an opportunity for more advanced work. In a number of instances the appitude of the girls has made it possible to introduce the making of simple dresses to be worn by themselves, which is most gratifying. The interest of the girls in the sewing is very pleasing, and the hearty co-operation in many cases, of the mothers, expressing as they have through their children their appreciation of this branch of the school work, has been extremely helpful. I find in some schools the instruction is carried on by means of minia- ture garments, etc., but I prefer the more practical method of making all articles and garments that shall be of actual use to each girl, such as underclothes, aprons and dresses.
This plan has worked very well, and I have found that it has added much interest to the work in my classes.
MARY A. McCLEARN, Supervisor of Sewing.
Dedham, Mass., January 25, 1907.

ACTS OF 1906, CHAPTER 371.
-
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE TEMPORARY EXCLUSION FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF PUPILS WHO HAVE BEEN EX- POSED TO INFECTIOUS. OR CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
SECTION 6. A child who has not been vaccinated shall not be admitted to a public school except upon presentation of a certificate signed by a regular practising physician that he is not a fit subject for vaccination. A child who is a member of a household in which a person is ill with smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, or any other infectious or contagious dis- ease, or of a household exposed to such contagion from another household as aforesaid, shall not attend any public school during such illness until the teacher of the school has been furnished with a certificate from the board of health of the city or town, or from the attending physician of such person, stating that danger of conveying such disease by such child has passed.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage. [Approved May 8, 1906.

CHAPTER 502, ACTS OF 1906.
-
AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE APPOINTMENT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIANS.
SECTION I. The school committee of every city and town in the Commonwealth shall appoint one or more school physicians, shall assign one to each public school within its city or town, and shall provide them with all proper facilities for the performance of their duties as prescribed in this act : provided, however, that in cities wherein the board of health is already maintaining or shall hereafter maintain substantially such med- ical inspection as this act requires, the board of health shall appoint and assign the school physician.
SECTION 2. Every school physician shall make a prompt examination and diagnosis of all children referred to him as hereinafter provided, and such further examination of teachers, janitors and school buildings as in his opinion the protection of the health of the pupils may require.
SECTION 3. The school committee shall cause to be referred to a school physician for examination and diagnosis every child returning to school without a certificate from the board of health after absence on account of illness or from unknown cause; and every child in the schools under its jurisdiction who shows signs of being in ill health or of suffering from infectious or con- tagious disease, unless he is at once excluded from school by the teacher ; except that in the case of schools in remote and isolated situations the school committee may make such other arrange- ments as may best carry out the purposes of this act.
49
SECTION 4. The school committee shall cause notice of the disease or defects, if any, from which any child is found to be suffering to be sent to his parent or guardian. Whenever a child shows symptoms of smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria or influenza, tonsilitis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies or trachoma, he shall be sent home immediately, or as soon as safe and proper conveyance can be found, and the board of health shall at once be notified.
SECTION 5. The school committee of every city and town shall cause every child in the public schools to be separately and carefully tested and examined at least once in every school year to ascertain whether he is suffering from defective sight or hear- ing or from any other disability or defect tending to prevent his receiving the full benefit of his school work, or requiring a modification of the school work in order to prevent injury to the child or to secure the best educational results. The tests of sight and hearing shall be made by teachers. The committee shall cause notice of any defect or disability requiring treatment to be sent to the parent or guardian of the child, and shall require a physical record of each child to be kept in such form as the state board of education shall prescribe.
SECTION 6. The state board of health shall prescribe the directions for tests of sight and hearing, and the state board of education shall, after consultation with the state board of health, prescribe and furnish to school committees suitable rules of in- struction, test-cards, blanks, record books and other useful ap- pliances for carrying out the purposes of this act, and shall provide for pupils in the normal schools instruction and practice in the best methods of testing the sight and hearing of children. The state board of education may expend during the year nine- teen hundred and six a sum not greater than fifteen hundred dol- lars, and annually thereafter a sum not greater than five hundred dollars for the purpose of supplying the material required by this act.
50
SECTION 7. The expenses which a city or town may incur by virtue of the authority herein vested in the school committee or board of health, as the case may be, shall not exceed the amount appropriated for that purpose in cities by the city council and in towns by a town meeting. The appropriation shall precede any expenditure or any indebtedness which may be in- curred under this act, and the sum appropriated shall be deemed a sufficient appropriation in the municipality where it is made. Such appropriation need not specify to what section of the act it shall apply, and may be voted as a total appropriation to be applied in carrying out the purposes of the act.
SECTION 8. This act shall take effect on the first day of Sep- tember in the year nineteen hundred and six.
[Approved June 20, 1906.
