New Courses


To meet the demands of veterans working toward a high school diploma or a state high school equivalency certificate, two new courses were added to the program this year. Problems of Democracy was taught by Mrs. Goepner, and Business Law is now being taught by Mr. Kenefick.


Adult Civic Education


Classes in English and Citizenship for the 1947-48 session began on October 7, 1947 at the Norwood Junior High School and are held each Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock.


There are two evening adult civic education classes this year, one for beginners and one in advanced English and Citizenship. Miss Dillon and Mr. White are the instructors.


Day classes for immigrants are held on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Balch School and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Junior High School. These consist of small groups which are taught by the supervisor. As each student is invariably on a different educational level, the instruction is for the most part individual.


For those people who need help in preparation for naturalization but who find it impossible to attend regular public school classes, home study materials, supplied by the United States Department of Justice for the use of Public School departments of adult education, have been provided.


In December a Christmas party was held for the members of the evening school classes and their friends.


Naturalization Aid


In 1947, forty-eight men and women were assisted with the technical procedures involved in naturalization. Information and assistance was also provided for Nor- wood residents who wished to bring relatives from foreign countries to the United States. Requests for information and help have come from people having relatives in Canada, England, Ireland, Syria, Cuba, Italy, and Finland. Assistance in filling out applications for re-entry has been provided for those non-citizens who wished to travel or visit outside the United States.


Information on naturalization and other citizenship problems has been supplied in person, by telephone, and by letter.


Educational Information Service


As in other years, there has been available at the Adult Education Office, Room 11, in the Norwood Junior High School, current information on a great variety of educational opportunities of Boston and vicinity for adults. Information is avail- able on educational and recreational courses, lectures, exhibits, and the like.


There is also available for the use of any interested adult much information on colleges, technical schools, preparatory schools, art schools, and vocational schools. New catalogs and bulletins are constantly being added to this collection of educational information.


This collection of material has been particularly valued by veterans attending courses and planning to further their education but who were not definitely admitted to a school or college.


For anyone who requests information as to where a particular subject may be studied, a list of schools offering training in the desired subject will be compiled,

REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


together with other pertinent information such as times and place of meeting, cost, requirements for admission and other related information.


Requests have been received from people wishing to study various foreign lan- guages, public speaking, salesmanship, flying, nature study in preparation for camp work, remedial reading and electrical repair work.


Other Activities


As President of the Massachusetts Association of Teachers of Adults, the super- visor has attended four district meetings of teachers and supervisors of adult educa- tion throughout the State. These meetings have been held in Adams, Holyoke, Taunton and Boston.


The Supervisor was asked to participate in the program at the Fall Conference of Adult Civic Education held at the New Ocean House at Swampscott on October 3 and 4, 1947, by giving a report on materials.


Conclusion


I wish to thank the many school and town officials who have aided in the work of adult education in the past year and the local newspaper for aid in publicizing adult education projects.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT


Herewith, I submit my second annual report as Director of Guidance and Place- ment.


Guidance


The recognition of the importance of guidance is assuming an ever more prom- inent and important place in all groups that deal with personnel. This is evidenced not only by the inauguration of new programs, but also by the expansion of established programs in schools, colleges, social agencies, and industry.


In the senior high school, the guidance inventory which is filled out by each student again proved of great help. This inventory is a form on which the student has the opportunity to state his educational and vocational plans and the grounds on which he has made these determinations. These programs are then discussed in detail in individual conferences between the student and the Director.


During the past year, we were fortunate in having available the battery of voca- tional guidance tests offered by Boston University. The results of these tests, when used in conjunction with scholastic achievement and guidance records, gives a very good groundwork on which to counsel pupils on both vocational and educational matters.


Placement


Our placement service proved helpful to many students. Some eighty job open- ings were filled by high school boys and girls. It is interesting to note that 41 per cent of the senior class, 40 per cent of the junior class, and 23 per cent of the sophomore class stated that they engaged in some type of part-time work. In addition to the monetary return earned, these students are obtaining valuable work experience as part of their education. We thank the many employers who have cooperated in this matter.

Conclusion


Effective guidance cannot be achieved by the school alone. It needs, in addition, the cooperative effort of the pupil, the home, the church, community groups, and all who are concerned with the welfare of youth.


In conclusion, may I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Lynch, Mr. Hayden, and those individuals and groups who have helped in our endeavor to make this department as beneficial as possible to all.

REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT


I herewith submit the report of the School Health Service for the school year of 1947.


Physical Examinations


During the fall term all children in the schools were given a physical examination by Dr. George R. Allen and Dr. Harriet E. Rogers, school physicians. Parents have been notified of the defects discovered and have been referred to their family physicians for treatment or for referral to whichever clinic the doctor considers necessary.


Dental Clinic


· In September, all children in grades one through twelve were given a dental examination by Dr. T. J. Curtin, school dentist. Parents were notified of defects and urged to secure dental care for their children either by arrangement with their own dentists or with the Dental Clinic in the Junior High School.


Communicable Disease Control


We felt fortunate indeed to have avoided the disease of diphtheria, which was prevalent in greater Boston during 1947. This, in a large measure, is due to the in- oculations which are administered yearly by the schools and by private physicians.


During the school year there were several cases of chicken pox and sporadic cases of measles, whooping cough and scarlet fever. Unfortunately, there is no decrease in the number of those who succumb to common cold, sore throat and grippe.


In order to control communicable disease we again advise parents to keep ill children separated from those who are well, to consult their physicians, and to report contagious diseases to the school at once.


It should be remembered that almost every communicable disease begins with. symptoms of a cold.


Tuberculosis Clinic


Finding and isolating the active or potentially active case of tuberculosis which exist unsuspected in the schools in one of the purposes of the school health program. Although there has been a low incidence of tuberculosis in Norwood, statistics show that for the United States as a whole this is one of the most serious illnesses of the adolescent group. Between the ages of fifteen and nineteen, tuberculosis is the lead- ing cause of eath for girls and ranks as the second cause of death for boys.


Three years ago we eliminated all skin tests for tuberculosis and have evolved a program in which every child will have been given a chest X-ray before his gradua- tion from high school.


The Tuberculosis Diagnostic Clinic is held in January.


Vision and Hearing Tests


The auditory and visual acuity of all students has been measured by means of the audiometer and by the Massachusetts Vision Testing equipment.


Children who have a hearing loss of twelve or more decibels are referred to their physicians for treatment. Those who have a loss of twenty-four or more decibels are enrolled in the lip-reading classes, which are taught by Mrs. Kathryn V. King. This year there are nine children taking this course.


Notices are sent to the parents of those children who appear to have visual defects. These children may be examined at the Eye Clinic or by private specialists, according to the wish of the parent.


200


TOWN OF NORWOOD


Eye Clinic


During the past year the eye clinic has been conducted by Dr. Hugo B. C. Riemer. Four hundred and nineteen patients attended this clinic.


Mid-Morning Lunch


The Woman's Club, through the Norwood Community Chest Fund, defrayed the cost of milk and cookies for ninety-four children.


Conclusion


We express our appreciation to Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, to the School Committee, to all members of the school department and the community for their interest and cooperation.
