Diphtheria Immunization Clinic
Permission slips returned from parents show that a larger number of children are having the toxoid inoculation this year to build an immunity against diphtheria.
Audiometer Tests
The audiometer tests are given to the children in grades three to twelve. This test has proved to be very valuable in locating hearing deficiencies of the school children.
Lip Reading Classes
Lip reading classes are held every Tuesday under the leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth M. Bishop. There are twenty-two children in our four classes. Two of these come from schools in neighboring towns.
Guidance Clinic
Children from the schools are taking advantage of the Guidance Clinic. It is held each Friday morning from 9:30 to 12:00 at the Norwood Hospital under the direction of Dr. Denning.
Eye Clinic
During the past year we have, as in other years, administered our eye testing program with a view to promoting greater health in the vision of our pupils. The extent to which we have been successful may, in a measure, be determined by a glance at the following:

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ADULT EDUCATION
I herewith submit my third Annual Report as Supervisor of Adult Education.
For the past year my work has been divided into four main parts: Supervising the Evening School, organizing adult classes, teaching mothers' classes for foreign-born women, and giving aid to those who wish to become naturalized.
Evening School Adult Civic Education Classes
Closing Exercises of the Evening Adult Civil Education Classes were held at the Norwood Junior High School on March 30, 1942. The program will be found at the conclusion of this report.
After the closing of the regular sessions of the Evennig School, a Citizenship class was organized and taught by the Supervisor. This class was provided in order to give instruction to people who expected to be called for their naturalization examination during the summer months. Two classes in Red Cross Home Nursing were also held during the spring months.
English and Citizenship classes for the 1942-43 season opened at the Balch School on October 19, 1942. Seven classes were formed with a total enrollment of 144 men and women. When the adult education program was expanded to include a number of new wartime courses, the Balch School classes were moved to the Junior High School so that all evening adult classes might be housed in
135
one school building. Although this was inconvenient for the majority of people in the English and Citizenship classes, since most of them live in the Balch School district, they have for the most part co-operated in coming the greater distance to the Junior High School because they realize that this is a temporary arrange- ment, necessitated by the war.
The classes this year consist of two groups of illiterate beginners taught by Miss Dillon and Miss Ahern; an intermediate class taught by Miss Webster; a Basic English class taught by Miss Riley; an advanced English class taught by Mrs. McAuliffe; and two Citizenship classes taught by Miss Cullinane and Mr. Bowler. There is perhaps more material for discussion in these classes than ever before and students are encouraged to ask questions and express opinions on all phases of the war, rationing program, civilian defense, the work of the Red Cross, salvage drives, dim-out regulations, health and nutrition, shortages and other timely topics.
In addition to the regular class work there have been a number of other activities for students in our adult civic education classes. In March 80 men and women accompanied by their teachers attended a patriotic meeting sponsored by the American Legion at the Hotel Statler in Boston. The students enjoyed particularly the splendid band music and the group of prominent speakers including Governor Saltonstall.
During the Victory Book Campaign men and women brought a number of books to school to be contributed to the campaign.
Assembly programs have been held about once a month. Students may bring friends to these programs. In December at the annual Evening School Christmas party Junior High School pupils under the direction of Miss Byrne presented the play "Why the Chimes Rang."
Ages of students in English and Citizenship classes this year vary from 26 to 67. Several of the young men who have attended classes in former years are now in the service. Most of the people in these classes are in the older age group, and the usual variety of nationalities is represented.
Many women who attend Evening School are now employed and there are a number of men working on shifts. This together with the dim-out, and the greater distance to school means that attendance of students this year is somewhat irregular.
Mothers Classes
There are two day classes for women which meet on Tuesdays at the Balch School and on Thursdays at the Junior High School.

136
These English and Citizenship classes are taught by the Supervisor. Twenty women are enrolled in these classes.
Wartime Classes For Adults
In an address to a large audience of school and college officials in August of 1942 Lieutenant-General Somervell said, "The job of the schools in this total war is to educate the Nation's manpower for war and the peace that follows. We can lose this total war on the battlefront as a direct result of losing it on the educational front. Education is the backbone of an army."
U. S. Commissioner of Education John W. Studebaker has urged repeatedly that evening schools provide instruction which will result in the development of understanding and skills funda- mental to a number of specialties in the. Army and Navy. School departments everywhere have been strongly urged to plan their programs of adult and evening school education for the present year so as to make possible the inclusion of many pre-induction courses.
With this in mind, on November 23, 1942 a program of war- time courses was organized at the Junior High School as a part of the regular public school evening adult program. The response to these classes has been encouraging, and at the present time the program is as follows:
MONDAY
TUESDAY
Mechanical Drawing Mr. McAuliffe Blueprint Reading Mr. Wheeler Trigonometry Miss Gow
THURSDAY Review Elem. Algebra Mr. Nee
Shop Algebra Mr. Nee
Blueprint Reading Mr. Wheeler
Blueprint Reading Mr. Wheeler
Physics Mr. Learnard
Geometry Miss Gow
Each course meets one evening a week from 7 to 9 o'clock with the exception of Geometry and Trigonometry which are one hour courses and meet from 7 to 8 o'clock. The program is planned so that a student may take as many as three subjects if he wishes. There are at the present time about 140 people enrolled in the wartime courses. A number of out-of-town students have enrolled and it is hoped that more will do so in the future.
The people in these classes represent a variety of occupations and educational backgrounds. Some of the occupations repre- sented include factory workers, office clerks, high school students, a carpenter, a police sergeant, machinists, a florist, laborers, teachers, a printer, a lawyer, an accountant, and a milkman. Educational backgrounds vary all the way from a man who has little beyond an elementary school education to a graduate cum laude from one of the finest colleges in the country.
137
Because the instructors for these courses are being provided by the public school department and because there is no charge for the courses, students are asked to buy their own textbooks. Young men and women who are planning to enter the Army or Navy, the WAVES or the WAACS will be able to go ahead more rapidly in their respective branch of the service if they have had courses such as these before their induction. Subjects such as blueprint reading and mathematics are a necessity for many types of war work in industry.
Naturalization Aid
After the declaration of war between the United States and Germany, Japan, and Italy the nationals of those countries who were living in this country automatically became enemy aliens and were subject to a number of restrictions and regulations. Mimeo- graphed copies of these rules and regulations were distributed among all enemy aliens in the Evening School classes and their friends and relatives, and to all who came to the Adult Education office for help with citizenship problems.
As in other years while the naturalization aid program is maintained in connection with the English and Citizenship classes for the foreign-born, a great many people who do not attend classes make use of this service. Inquiries on citizenship problems often come from Americans who seek information or help for a foreign-born relative, friend or employee.
For the year 1942 there were 85 second-paper applications made out by the Supervisor and 29 first-paper applications. Many women are now seeking citizenship so that they may go to work in war industries. It now takes about 14 months from the time a second-paper application is sent to Boston before the naturalization process is completed. Help has also been given in legalizing the status of aliens who have been found to be here illegally.
Red Cross Classes
An afternoon class in Red Cross Nutrition was held on Mon- days at the Junior High School for 10 lessons. The instructor was provided by the local Red Cross. Miss Samiotes, community nutritionist, taught the group of 25 women who were enrolled in this course.
A course in Red Cross Home Nursing is being planned to open on January 11 at the Junior High. This will be an evening course and will meet two evenings a week for six weeks. It will be taught by a registered nurse who is a certified Red Cross in- structor. A total of 6 Home Nursing classes for adults was held last year.
138
Other Activities
In October at the request of Mrs. Florence Riley the Super- visor spoke to all the ninth grade classes of the Junior High at a meeting in the auditorium on the subject of Immigration and Naturalization which pupils had been studying in their social . science classes. Included in this talk were technical aspects of naturalization as illustrated by specific cases.
In November as Town Chairman of Home Nursing the Super- visor spoke at a meeting of the Red Cross Staff Assistants Course. Upon completing their course, some of the staff assistants have been doing volunteer clerical work for the Evening School.
In December the Supervisor was asked by the State Super- visor of Adult Education, Miss Guyton, to give a broadcast over radio station WMEX on the subject "Adult Civic Education."
Conclusion
I wish to express my appreciation to the various school, town, and Red Cross officials from whom I have received help and co- operation, and to the local newspapers for their aid in publicizing adult classes.
