Visits are made at the homes during the year, the purpose of this being to make sure the patients are receiving the necessary follow up care and to advise them to see a physician or attend the clinic periodically.
During the year 1935 there were 43 clinic days, 103 patients visited the clinic, 40 of these were new cases and 6 were found positive. Five (5) of these were sent to a Sanatorium; 3 to Norfolk County, 1 to Tewksbury and 1 to Westfield.
There have been fewer cases of Hilum T.B. because of the fact that children who are underweight and contacts are followed very closely by the school nurses and the Chadwick and Norfolk County Clinics.
It gives the Board considerable satisfaction to be able to report that ex- penditures were kept within the Budget for the year 1935.

The above tabulation is some evidence of a lack of desire upon the part of parents of pupils in the upper grades to visit the schools. Annually, this opportunity for visitation is provided in the hope that a better under- standing of the work of the schools may be effected.
Mrs. Bertha L. Brown
Whereas Mrs. Bertha L. Brown has taught in the Public Schools of Norwood for twenty-eight years, one year in the East School and twenty- seven years in the Winslow School, and has exerted an incalculable in- fluence upon the lives of hundreds of children to whom she has ever been a guide and counselor,
RESOLVED, that upon the occasion of her retirement from the service of the Town of Norwood, the School Committee records its deep apprecia- tion of her efforts and her accomplishments in the cause of Education.

Visual Education
The effectiveness of visual aids in instruction has been established by test. In the Junior High School, particularly, where we now have motion picture and stereopticon equipment, a workable program of educational film projection has been in operation for some months.
These visual aids, used in supplementing the written and lecture methods of instruction have proved worthwhile. They are especially valuable to the unimaginative mind in creating an understanding of things which cannot otherwise be comprehended easily.
The visual aid brings to the attention of the student experiences which broaden his understanding of the complexities of the world in which he
273
lives. In a manner more satisfactory than any other excepting the actual experience itself, the student is acquainted with the phenomena of nature, science, art, travel and industry. He acquires a deeper understanding of other life activities, experiences and knowledges that make for richer and fuller living.
Surveys of our schools have been made that this service may be made available to all.
E. R. A .- W. P.A .- N. Y. A.
Much of the work which has been listed under the report of the Super- visor of Janitors, Buildings and Grounds has been accomplished as a result of funds made available through the provisions of the Emergency Relief Administration and Works Progress Administration.
The National Youth Administration program has, since December 1st, made possible the employment of several students who are in need of financial assistance in continuation of school attendance.
Our community is entitled to $102.00 per month. Twenty-three boys and girls sixteen years of age or older have been receiving this money for work done in the Junior and Senior High Schools.
The tasks assigned are such as would not be given to paid assistants. The work consists of such chores as cleaning soiled books, varnishing book covers and the like.
General
The public schools of Norwood receive the children of the Town and try to do the best they can with them. The school is an institution of education. It proposes to offer the type of education which promises to help the student in the improvement, organization and extension of his activities so that he may enjoy a wider and fuller living.
No longer thought of as book learning alone, education aims' to develop the whole individual in all his activities. That which was formerly the three R's has evolved in such fashion as to embrace improvement in the health, citizenship, worthy use of leisure, recreation, worthy home member- ship, vocation and personal well-being of school citizens.
More attention is given to the need for right living, which requires real thought and scholarship as much as the so-called academic studies in the older schools. This kind of progress we believe to be especially important in our community.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
It gives me real pleasure to submit, herewith, my ninth annual report as Principal of the Norwood Senior High School.
Enrollment
The enrollment at the Senior High School as of October 1, 1935, shows the following figures:
Boys

721
This enrollment total of 721, representing a maximum for the present school year, is a little increase over last year and yet does not reach the peak figure of 763, the enrollment of September, 1933. It would seem, from all available figures, that our student body for the coming school year would not vary a great deal from our present figures.
Faculty
At the beginning of the present school year our faculty changes were as follows:
For the vacancy created by Miss Hopkin's resignation in the English department, Miss Elizabeth Walker has been secured. Miss Walker is a former resident of Norwood, a graduate of Colby College in the year 1931, and has completed four years of teaching experience in the following towns: Harmony (Maine), 1 year; Sedgwick (Maine), 3 years.
To fill a vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Miss Miriam McMichael in the English department, Mr. John Barrett, a Norwood resident, was appointed. However, his appointment to a permanent position in Boston brought about his resignation shortly before the school year commenced. Miss Eleanor Peabody has been selected for that position. Miss Peabody comes to us from North Easton High School where she was head of the English department, and has had the following training and experience: Graduated from Wheaton College in 1924; taught in Penacook (N. H.), 1 year; Shrewsbury, 2 years; Ware, 3 years; Paw- tucket (R. I.), 1 year; and North Easton, 3 years.
Both of these teachers are going on with their work in splendid fashion.
In the Science department, the resignation of Mr. Robert I. Woodbury was responsible for the following changes:
Mr. Everett Learnard was appointed department head. Mr. John Sullivan, who received his college training at Massachusetts State College, has been elected to the department. Mr. Sullivan's teaching experience
276
is as follows: Massachusetts State College, 1 year; and Litchfield (Conn.), 5 years.
During the summer, Miss Mary Mackedon, head of the Foreign Language department, received a call to take over the department headship of the Winchester High School at an increase of salary over our maximum figure which she was receiving here.
The loss of these two department heads, Mr. Woodbury and Miss Mackedon, in one year, was felt keenly.
Miss Doris Dexter, a Norwood High School graduate who received her college training at Oberlin, has filled the vacancy in the Foreign Language department, Miss Ruth Johngren having been promoted to the department headship. Miss Dexter spent a year in France teaching English, and taught one year in Damon Hall, Newton.
In the Mathematics department, we received a request from Miss Harriet Gay for a year's leave of absence to continue her study for a Master's degree at Cornell. Permission was granted, and Mr. James Dunn, requesting the opportunity to teach mathematics, was shifted from the English department to take Miss Gay's mathematics program.
Miss Margaret Nicholson, who was granted a year's leave of absence for degree work at Boston University, has returned to the English depart- ment.
These constitute the changes in the faculty during the present school year.
Graduation, 1935
On June 11, 1935, the graduation exercises of the senior class were held in the Norwood Junior High School gymnasium. The event was char- acterized by the usual simplicity, dignity and excellent performance on the part of those on the program.
