One period per month is now given to instruction in writing in the High School.
My work here has been very enjoyable, and the results are quite satisfactory. My sincere thanks are due to the School Committee, and to the Superintendent of Schools for cordial support and sympathy, and to the principals and teachers who have taken such an interest in, and given so much thought to the work in writing.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN L. HOWARD.

.ANNUAL REPORT.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Attleborough :
During the past year I have endeavored to visit each school in the town once a month. In the case of some of the schools this has not been possible, or advisable, as it is of more importance to be able to answer emergency calls, than to be at the outlying schools when needed near the center of the population. With a few excep- tions every scholar has been examined twice, and the outlook is encouraging that the physical condition of the scholars will in a short time justify the establishment of the department.
According to the last examination there are 810 suf- fering from some physical defect. Vermin still claims a large number, 102-59 less than last year. So much stress has been laid upon this matter that if an exami- nation were to be made at this time not more than 50 of these cases would be found. If it were not for the care- lessness of some of the parents there would be no need of having any of this class of diseases. Hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids number 211-112 less than last year, due to the parents having these defects attended to. It would be a fortunate thing if all parents could be per- suaded of the importance of attention to these diseases as they are extremely liable to be attended with deaf- ness, catarrh and in many cases with tuberculosis. These cases are almost always among the backward scholars. This is well illustrated in the High School, where but few of those suffering from enlarged tonsils attained to grade B.
Another class of cases about which parents are lament -. ably negligent is that of dental cases or decayed teeth. There seems to be a very prevalent idea that the first set of teeth needs no attention and that the sooner the first set of teeth is decayed and succeeded by the second the better it is for the child. Nothing can be more erroneous.
237
ANNUAL REPORT.
The following from Professor Samuel Hopkins is to the point, "Children should be required to thoroughly clean the teeth with a brush after each meal." He guar- antees that this practice will prevent the child from many a sickness. "Many eye and ear troubles are due to defective teeth. Teeth not properly cared for and decayed, are the cause of cancers of the stomach, some- times. Nearly all facial neuralgias are due to defective teeth." The speaker quoted an eminent authority to the effect that defective teeth cause more deterioration than alcohol. The children have been frequently advised as to this matter and if the parents would co-operate there would soon be a marked diminution in the number of these cases.
There were over 150 cases of contagious diseases dur- ing the year. Of these mumps contributed over 100. The mortality among children of school age was almost nil.
There is still the same lack of drinking facilities as last year. In some of the schools the children furnish their own cups and this has been accomplished without difficulty. The same faulty habit of everyone using his neighbor's pencil is in vogue. Here again I have per- suaded several of the schools to furnish each pupil with two pencils and the plan has worked admirably. In some of the schools each scholar furnishes his own cup, pencil, and towel, and it would be a good plan to recom- mend the same plan to all the schools, thus avoiding the risk of infection. Farmers' schoolhouse was disinfected once during the year and two rooms at Sanford street, on account of scarlet fever, diphtheria and tuberculosis.
At the examination made in the spring, information was obtained from the pupils in the High School as to how they spend their time when out of school. Table No. 2 will no doubt be of interest to you all. From it we ascertain that the majority of the pupils have plenty of outdoor exercise ; that 51 out of 214 study more than
238
ANNUAL REPORT.
three hours after school; that all have more or less work to do at home or in the shop; and that 56 out of the 214 do not retire until after 10 p. m., a condition which may have something to do with their being behind in their studies. Another point discovered at this time was that 18 went without their breakfast, but no good reason for so doing was given. This is altogether wrong and is sure to be followed by ill effects.
Our children do not have large enough playgrounds or the facilities for the physical exercise that they should have.
In closing I wish to thank the Committee for their hearty co-operation in trying to elevate the physical standard of the children of our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
G. K. ROBERTS, M. D.,
School Physician.
