ANNUAL REPORT
"In Norton and Plainville examples of High School Art work were shown in an exhibition at the Attleboro Public Library. 'Beauty brings into life all that is good and noble'."
THE NURSERY SCHOOL Mrs. Helen M. Munroe, Head Teacher
A summary of the present status of this division of the school department is given in the following quotation:
"The Nursery School at present has an enrollment of twenty-eight children. There are two teachers and a dietician who take care of the needs of the children. The children enrolled are from two to four and one-half years old. The Nursery School has been in operation for five years.
"Nursery school education nurtures the many phases of child development taking place during the pre-school years. It places special attention upon the mental, social and emo- tional development including the formation of desirable habits and behavior patterns, upon the nutritional needs of the child and upon prophylactic and corrective medical care. Through close cooperation with parents the continuous development of the child is safeguarded and the responsibility shared be- twyeen the school, with its staff of trained workers, and those responsible in the home.
"A visitor's first impression of a nursery school is one of a homelike, colorful place where a small group of children are independently, definitely, and happily busy with alert but inconspicuous supervision from the teachers.
"Though the school day continues for a limited number of hours the school assures the responsibility for knowing the complete twenty-four hour program of the child. This secures for him a consistent school and home program in guidance and self help. The opportunity for assisting parents in under- standing their children, by giving them guidance in actual problem situations, by giving them information regarding child care and nurture, and by attempting to achieve for the child an educational program in which the home is the largest factor, is considered one of the serious responsibilities of the program of Nursery education."

ANNUAL REPORT
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN - Dr. H. Irving Bixby
"During the month of November 1938 the Physical Ex- amination of the school children of Plainville was conducted with the cooperation of Mrs. Harris, and such physical defects were noted as she has mentioned in her report. These are all defects which should be corrected.
"I found the general level of health of the children whom I examined far above that of a similar town with which I come in contact.
"I feel that Plainville is indeed fortunate in having a school nurse so efficient and so interested in the welfare of the children as Mrs. Harris, and heartily endorse the program which she has worked out for improving the well-being of the Plainville school children."
SCHOOL NURSE - Mrs. Ruah M. Harris
This report gave very complete statistical data on the many activities in the health work of the Plainville Schools. I can give here only a very brief outline of the type of work which has been carried on.
1-Diphtheria clinic in January, 41 pupils. 2-Tuber- culosis clinic with the assistant of the County Health Staff during March. 3-Dental clinic, sponsored by funds from the Christmas Seal Sale Committee. 4-Pre-school clinic. 5- Tonsil clinic, Sturdy Memorial Hospital, 11 pupils from Plain- ville. 6-Eye and ear examinations.
One boy attended the summer camp with expenses paid by the Christmas Seal Sale Fund. During the year a series of motion pictures on health were shown in the classrooms. Weekly health talks were given in the elementary schools.
The school committee members have been active in the meetings of the association of school committees of Norfolk County. I wish to call attention to their earnest interest in this as well as the many local educational problems and under- takings. To this I add my deep appreciation of our happy contacts in carrying on these activities.

LAURENCE G. NOURSE, Superintendent of Schools

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report as tree warden for the year ending December 31, 1938.
For the benefit of the property owners, seven (7) trees were cut down and others trimmed on East Bacon Street. About one hundred (100) trees were trimmed on other streets. This work was carried out because of dampness in their homes. Light tree trimming was done on School and Spring Streets.
Twenty-five (25) maple trees were planted at the junction of East Bacon and Messenger Streets, and twelve (12) trees were replanted on Lincoln Avenue, also five (5) on West Bacon Street.
Grass and shrubs were kept trimmed at East Bacon and Wilkin's Corner throughout the summer.
Under Chapter 81 highway money, brush cutting was done on all roadsides. Nine permits were issued for public shade tree trimming.
The hurricane of September 21st has left our remaining shade trees with many broken limbs and scars. Throughout the residential center, about one hundred fifty (150) trees were up- rooted or broken beyond repairing. Considerable tree trimming and cutting is necessary to preserve the remaining trees.
I surely want to take this opportunity to extend my appre- ciation to the abutting property owners for the fine spirit of cooperation given during the emergency, and I hope they will not withdraw any of their support at this critical time and when Spring comes, by all means plan to plant another tree.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
Following is the annual report on Gypsy Moth and Tent Caterpillar work for fiscal year ending December 31, 1938.
Generally speaking, Gypsy Moth conditions were about the same as during the past few years, some sections showing a decreased infestation. The moth control work was handled under an allotment of W.P.A. funds, under my supervision. Twenty (20) men were employed on this project from the beginning of the year until July 1st. Exceptionally good work was carried on consisting of creosoting Gypsy Moth eggs, woodland thinning, creosoting tent caterpillar webs, and spraying. Total of Federal funds spent $2,767.60. During the months of October and Novem- ber, two (2) men were put to work creosoting along roadsides, which was financed from our State Treasury.
The Tent Caterpillars were very numerous again the past Spring and many property owners helped on this work. As you probably know, the State Forester has added tent caterpillar insect work to our moth liability appropriation, which will increase the 1939 moth appropriation. While these insects cause less damage than Gypsy Moth, they are declared public nuisances and very unsightly and annoying.
All payrolls and reports have been sent in to State Forest Department. The liability of the Town for 1938 was $661.54.

REPORT OF TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
Two thousand (2000) pines were planted and brush cutting done at East Bacon Street lot.
Thinning and release cutting work was done on about four (4) acres of the trees that had been planted, a job which has been neglected for sometime for want of funds.
A large "Town Forest" sign was placed at East Bacon and George Streets. At the Bristol Farm about one (1) acre of land was levelled off by a bull dozer. Brush along pond shore was cut and burned, and planted to red pine trees. These improvements should add to the surroundings at the Bristol Farms.
The four (4) wood roads running through the forest were cleaned of brush, including a ten (10) foot strip around the boundaries for fire protection.
A small fire started off East Bacon Street, burned about twenty (20) small trees. This was the first fire we have had at the forest.
We received from rent of Bristol Farms, $650.00.
