Some two hundred and nineteen children were examined by Dr. Hugo B. C. Riemer at the School Eye Clinic, and treatment was prescribed to fit their particular needs.
Hearing Tests
The Maico Puretone Audiometer was used for testing the hearing acuity. Any failing the group test were given an individual test to determine the extent of their loss. An audiogram and a notice of the defect was sent to the parent. Consultation with the family doctor was recommended. In many instances, the family physician referred the children to an otologist for more specialized treatment. All children in the kindergarten and first grade are given the individual tests. It is a tedious routine but well worth the effort if early discovery and treatment will save the child a more serious handicap.
Communicable Disease Control
The reportable communicable diseases caused little concern during the past year. A few sporadic cases were kept well under control so that they did not reach epidemic proportions. Despite their low incidence, we should remain alert to the dangers involved in the event of a flare up of these infections.
There was a plethora of colds of varying degrees of severity. A peak was reached just before the vacation period in February and another peak just before the Christmas holidays. The necessity for keeping a child at home in the early stages of a cold cannot be overemphasized if an effective control of respiratory infections is to be instituted. A simple cold to one individual may prove most serious to the person later exposed to it.
One hundred seventy-two children received the necessary inoculation of diph- theria toxoid to help them build up an immunity to diphtheria. One hundred sixty-eight previously inoculated were given the Schick test.
Ten of these reacted positively to the test and required "booster shots" of toxoid to complete the immunization.
In accordance with the new law, Chapter 732. Acts of 1950. all school personnel were given chest X-Rays in March. Members of the senior class were given their routine chest X-Rays at the same time. The present senior class was X-Rayed in October. It is pleasant to report all X-Rays were negativve. The X-Ray clinics were under the direction of Dr. Nahum Pillsbury of the Norfolk County Hospital at Braintree.
Milk Lunches
Daily free milk was provided for seventy-two children from October to May from the Norwood Community Fund through the Norwood Womens' Club. Milk Innches are available to any other children who wish to purchase their own milk.
Our need for a Habit and Guidance Clinic does not grow less as the years pass, but any prospects for its reestablishment in the near future seems questionable.
Conclusion
To you, the members of the School Committee, our friends in the schools and the community, we of the Health Department extend our thanks and sincerely hope that we may continue to enjoy the same wholehearted support in the future.
MARY A. CANNING, R.N.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE ART DIRECTOR
I respectfully submit my fifth annual report of this department for the year 1951.
Activities and Events
The Teacher Workshop classes were successfully concluded in June after sessions which have lasted for three consecutive years for all our regular elementary teachers.
Seldom does any school system ever achieve the ideal situation-where it con- tinually reflects to all students, through its teachings, an accepted contemporary philosophy of art education. There are times, however, when we do approach a high point and this year, from my classroom observations, seemed to be one of those significant times. To assure myself further. I have compared our work with other elementary schools in this state considered, generally, to be the best. In most instances our program, its conduct in the classroom, and its results compared not only favorably, but often better. Gordon L. Reynolds, President of the Mass. School of Art and State Director of Art Education; Professors James Kenny and Priscilla Nye, Teacher Education Department, Mass. School of Art and Miss Ruth Herring of Framingham Teachers College, have also confirmed this opinion.
*
In March we issued a detailed mimeographed report entitled: "The Visual and Audio Aids Render Valuable Assistance." As a research bulletin and a general recommendation of our needs in this field, it was produced to develop interest in, and provide information about, the expression of ideas through pictures and sound by mechanical means. A special elementary teacher's workshop was held in con- junction with the introduction of this bulletin and every effort was made to acquaint our people with the equipment we have and how it could be used to best advantage in the classroom.
A refined and functional study atmosphere was created in all our grade schools when they were completely repainted and refitted with bulletin board areas. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Mr. Lynch and the School Committee for their interest in making such an attractive and clean environment. The additional bulletin board area was also vitally needed since contemporary education realizes the necessity for displaying visual educational materials.
During the past year I have met frequently with the art teachers and super- visors of our neighboring towns to compare notes and discuss art education philosophy. I have as well been active in the New England School Development Council group "Art and the Classroom Teacher;" the Eastern Arts Association, and in the fall had the pleasure of participating on a panel at the Annual Convention of Principals and Supervisors.
*
During the year we have planned and supervised the work of six student trainers who came to us through a cooperative endeavor sponsored by the Teacher Education Department of the Massachusetts School of Art.

Scholastic Art Competition and Exhibit
Sponsored by the Scholastic Magazine this competition is held annually at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Of the Norwood entries submitted, the following people were awarded certificates and Gold Key Awards -- Carolyn Bumpus, Grade 9 (Ceramic pieces); Patricia Magnell, Grade 11 (Paintings), and Franics Carchedi. Grade 12. (Pen and Ink renderings).
Use of Visual and Audio Equipment
Our collection of color slides has expanded steadily as we have added 150 slides of student work and activities done throughout the year.
Both the Junior and Senior High Schools have made use of the 16mm sound projector to supplement their regular study progress. Some of these have been: "Styling the Motor Car", "Contemporary Sculpture", "Young America Paints", "The Dawn of Better Living", and "Plastic Art."
We have used our audio equipment for several Junior High programs to assist in better sound reproduction. Our tape recorder speaker baffle unit was completed by the Boys Vocational School and is presently at work in our grade schools.
Exhibits
There have been several exhibits of art work displayed throughout our schools during the year. Last March I arranged an exhibition of contemporary water colors from the University of New Hampshire which was displayed in the Junior and Senior High Schools. Another interesting display described the processes involved in Silk Screen work, with several explanatory examples.
The Junior High designed an exhibit of Ceramic materials with step-by-step illustrations of procedure. This was shown in the school library.
Many unusual exhibitions have been displayed by Mr. Schultz in his art room at the Senior High school. These involved textural photographs lent by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; a display of three-dimensional materials used in advertising, and ERA posters by European artists.
Miss 'Page of the Peabody School has created several outstanding scenic displays in the foyer showcase which have been recorded on color slides.
We have participated in the International Red Cross School Art Program.
An extensive exhibition of High School art work was shown in the Studio room during the month of November.
In addition to these exhibits we furnished our local library and the Norwood Women's Club with drawings and paintings representing work of all age groups. As part of a contest the Club selected a painting by Margery Crosby, Grade 12, who had her work chosen to represent the Norfolk County arca at the Boston Chapter Exhibit.
Other Activities
Our Studio Group meetings continue to place every Friday afternoon at the Junior High School. This is an effort to assist those children who have specialized interests and aptitudes in art. These elementary people have the opportunity to
211
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
work with many art materials including firing clay, silk screen, tempera, and textile colors. Mr. Lindgren meets his Junior High Group each Thursday after school hours.
For the PTA Circus Fair we provided a 5x25 foot street sign, hall and table decorations, and amplified music. For the Red Cross we furnished tray favors. For the High School we lettered their football Service Car.
In April, at a meeting of the Junior High PTA, Mr. Lindgren and I conducted the evening's program. By using a panel of students and asking them questions concerning their school art work we attempted to familiarize parents with the general philosophy and direction of our Junior High program as compared with what it was years ago.
The design, cartoons, photography, and production of the Junior High news- paper "School Scoop" have been worked out within this department.
To help produce the Christmas play at the Junior High the pupils designed three large stained glass windows made of oil treated paper, furnished and planned the lighting, and handled the music through use of the tape recorder, phono. amplifier, and speakers.
Recommendations
The tables and chairs in the Senior High School art room are in very poor, and in many instances, broken condition. This has not resulted from misuse but from the fact that for many years these tables have acted as work benches as well as slanting surfaces on which to draw. I submit that serious attention should be given to the replacement of this equipment or to its reconditioning.
In order to decide whether or not it was feasible to introduce Ceramics to our Junior High students Mr. Lindgren constructed a kiln of his own materials which we have been using for the past two years. Since this endeavor has been enthusi- astically received and this kiln has outlived its temporary usefulness I recommend the purchase of a permanent kiln of the type designed especially for school use.
*
I appreciate this opportunity to thank each grade teacher and principal for the splendid work they have done to make this program effective.
My sincere appreciation is extended also to Mr. Lynch and the Norwood School Committee for their continued understanding and cooperation.
